• Can not put on the virtual computer after Storage VMotion

  I use the snap for the customer VI do some storage vmotion, where I can best use our space on our tables. I have a particular virtual machine that I transferred autour storage that has a total of 3 VMDK, all on separate LUNS. As soon as I moved them all in the right place, where I wanted them, I can't turn on the virtual machine because it says there is no space available on the device. I am trying to boot the machine with 4 GB of memory, the boot LUN more than 400 GB free on it. The other two LUNS have 225 MB, and 192 MB of free space. I can only start the machine if I change the memory of 192 MB or less. I know that problems with the file exchange and memory overhead, but this virtual machine has always run with these two LUNS with very little space. I can only assume it is somehow related to the storage vmotion. The pagefile is set to store the virtual machine and I'm still having the problem. Need help.

  Storage vmotion the VMX file of the LUN with more space (easier) or add manually a config parameter (settings, Options, general, settings) sched.swap.dir = / vmfs/volumes/DS/Machine

  (where DS and Machine related to your environment).

• HELP PLEASE! I can't power off the virtual machine on host VWware ESXi

  I can not power off the virtual machine on host VWware ESXi is any other command. How can I restart?

  I need to power on the virtual machine, I did not back up!

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  in the ESXi console, run esxtop... you see the functioning of the virtual machine?

  If this isn't the case, you can restart management agents in the ESXi and you will be able to turn on the virtual machine again.

• Reload the Configuration of the virtual computer after changing the VMX file

  Hello

  If I make changes to a file on a virtual machine's .vmx in vCenter 5.5 is automatically valid configuration for the engine power vm off? I made some changes earlier and it seemed to be the case, but one of the steps that I see in some of the documents is to reload the configuration of the vm, so it can be used appropriately. So this happens automatically or not?

• need to reconfigure the virtual computer after deployment of the vm

  Hi all

  I have a script to deploy a computer virtual to a CSV file. I need to change the configuration of virtual machine (CPU and memory) after the deployment of the vm. where the name of the virtual machine should be taken to csv. So any help is appreciated.

  Attach the script used. (downloaded and works fine)

  $vms = import-CSV D:\vm-deploy\vm-deploy.csv

  {foreach ($vm to $vms)

  $Template = get-model $vm.template

  $VMHost = get-VMHost $vm.host

  $Datastore = get-data store $vm.datastore

  $OSCustomization = get-OSCustomizationSpec $vm.customization

  New-VM-name $vm.name - OSCustomizationSpec $OSCustomization - VMHost - $VMHost model $Template - $Datastore - Datastore RunAsync

  }

  # This cmd need to run after the vm deployment completed. The virtual computer name must come from the 1 column of the CSV file

  Set-VM $vmname - NumCpu 2 - MemoryGB 5 - confirm: $false

  Write-Host "All VMs deployed" - ForegroundColor Green

  Disconnect-VIServer-confirm: $false

  CSV file looks like this

  Name, host datastore, Template, customizing

  Test-VM,vm-dep-test,ESX02,P5-vm-stage,vm-deploy

  Thanks in advance...

  A simpler, but not optimal, solution is to use the Wait-job cmdlet.

  Something like that

  $vms = import-CSV D:\vm-deploy\vm-deploy.csv

  $tasks = @)

  {foreach ($vm to $vms)

  $Template = get-model $vm.template

  $VMHost = get-VMHost $vm.host

  $Datastore = get-data store $vm.datastore

  $OSCustomization = get-OSCustomizationSpec $vm.customization

  $tasks += new-VM-name $vm.name - OSCustomizationSpec $OSCustomization - model $Template - VMHost $VMHost '

  Data - $Datastore - RunAsync store

  }

  Waiting-task-task $tasks

  {foreach ($vm to $vms)

  $vm.name set-VM - NumCpu 2 - MemoryGB 5 - confirm: $false

  }

• cannot not power off the virtual machine, but don't think the host it is running!

  I have two clusters VI3. An older cluster to 3.02 hosts and a new cluster with ESXi hosts. Level of current patch on ESXi hosts. New guests and old presenters sees the same storage, but I have additional storage which can see only the new virtual machine.

  Most of the migration to the new cluster went very well. A few questions. But a VM just GIVES me fits.

  After the failure of attempts to migrate the virtual machine to the new storage, I thought I just migrate the virtual machine to the new host and leave it on the old storage, for now, until we could find something later. VCenter events logs show that the migration has expired. However, the virtual machine appears in the new cluster and is no longer in the old cluster. Also, he turned on itself for some reason any. Turn off in Vcenter gives the error "the operation failed because another task is underway." Having the VM that I could put it off in before Vcenter, and no no unsure of how to use the RCLI for this, I have connected to the host directly mode "not supported" and has run vm-support - x to get the list of running virtual machines and their ID's so that I could kill him. However, the host does not include this virtual machine in the list of virtual machines. So I think a virtual computer that runs Virtual Center, but he thinks the host it runs on is unclear if I can't kill the process.

  Help?

• Can not turn off the password request after inactivity

  Whenever I get out my phone, it displays a login window when I get back.  I went to the power options, checked "Don't require a password on wakeup" and rebooted, but it keeps asking for the password.  Where else this function is controlled?

  Tried your suggestion - created the new account of a user with administrator privileges & disconnected.  When I did, he triggered a BSOD & restarted.  When I logged on as the new user, the problem does not occur.

  Now, the question is to know how repair my existing profile - I wouldn't do it again.  Is there somewhere in the registry where this function?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows-Vista/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile
  See if you can follow the above article.
  First part is the creation of an account of neww you have already done so.
  The 2nd part is to copy files to the new account.
  Remember that you must have 3 accounts to carry out instructions. For example, create a 3rd account if you do not. Just to get this done with copy.
  PS You should always have 2 admin accounts. The 2nd admin account acts as your account of emergency backup if the 1st admin is corrupted and you can not connect it. In this way, you will never get locked out of the machine.

• No network connection to the virtual computer after migration manually to the new host

  We have added six new hosts to our environment, and I was tasked to test connections of VIRTUAL LAN on each of them before we move VM production of their.  This is probably a simple problem, but I am new to VMWare and need help.  I already talked to our network guys, and he assures me that the physical switches are setup and working properly.  We work a vDS.

  I'm testing 14 VLANs on six new hosts.  All but one are constantly working.  (They all work on the hosts of origin which were in force before.)  I have a static IP configuration on my test VM and MAC is set to automatic.  I checked the MAC does not change when you migrate to other hosts and the VLAN correct is listed in the settings the VM network (it is not empty).  Him VLAN will work on three of the six hosts, but not all at the same time.  The strange thing is that guests at work are constantly changing.  For example, this morning hosts11, 12 and 14 may work, but this afternoon, that could change at hosts12, 14 and 16.  I don't understand why they would change on their own.

  My test consists of VM testing, migration manually, powering back, then he ping from my computer off.  Of course everything works when I get ping responses.  When I get no answers, the test of the virtual machine has a yellow exclamation mark on the network icon in the system tray.

  What should I do to fix this?

  How is the network configured?  You have a different NIC port/cable for each VLAN or Trunking used on the side of the switch?

  If you use circuits on the side of the switch, then your GRPE ports virtual switch a VLAN ID needs to match the vlan is underway to shared resources.  No matter if it's a standard switch or switch distributed... you still need this ID of vlan.

  I've seen the random question that you encounter if missing one or more of of the uplinks on the side of the switch the VLAN.

• Re-create the virtual computer after the failure of the host

  Hi all

  Yesterday I encounter a questions that I struggle to deal with approprietly:

  Some old 3.5 host crashed and after reboot, one of the virtual machine (ubuntu) has been corrupted or issued in the inventory. Normally remove inventory

  and re - register always help again--this time, after removing the inventory - there is no vm file - only content on screen attached.

  I have searched for solutions, but since I did not compatible vmdk - I do not know what first?

  Prospects for some advice...

  Thanks in advance!

  

  I would start by searching other stores of data for the VMX file or in a directory with the same name that the VM - if you don't think I'd attempt to rebuild the virtual machine, but instead of creating a new virtual I slelect use an existing disk and point to the - delta file that is a snapshot.

• Unable to start the virtual computer after restoring the backup

  Hello

  I have a very big problem! I have a Machine virtual Windows Server 2003 on a Mac Mini with Mac OS 10.6.8 2009 Sever Server and VMWare Fusion 4.1.1 and I had a record of crash! A backup is performed daily and I take snapshots of security risk.

  I changed the faulty HARD drive and restore "Mac Data. Now I want to restore my data from VM, but after that, I can't throw my VM. I have this error message: "Unable to get information on snapshots, lock down." (French translation, it can differ from original English message).

  I get on the internet and found that you must delete the snapshots and try again, but when I do this, I have this error message: "the VM seems to be used. The same thing when I want to create a new capture instant.

  I'm stuck and I have to solve that before Monday...

  Thanks in advance for the help.

  With the merger closed, open the package of vmwarevm of the VM (CTRL-click) and delete all the files and folders with a .lck extension. These files are used to lock the files logically and very probably contain stale data.

  BTW. do you really need > 20 shots? Too many clichés can slow down the virtual machine significantly.

• Unable to connect to the console of the virtual computer after dns change

  I finished just change of my VM and VC servers esx hosts to use the new dns servers. In addition the area changed as follows

  from vm1.subdom1.xxx.com to vm1.subdom2.xxx.com the esx hosts and vCenter server all underwent this change at the same time although ip addresses have remained the same.

  In vCenter but I do not see "cannot connect to MKS: address for server vm1subdom1.xxx.com host lookup failed: no host is unknown.»

  If I log into the esx vSphere Client with server can't connect to the console where I can say vCenter to use the new name of the virtual machine instead of the old host? I can ping and resolve the vm from the vCenter server and RDP to DNS so it works but vCenter is still going to the old address.

  Any help?

  To access the Console of the virtual machines... the vCenter does not really rely on the DNS config. It communicates only through ports 902/903

  This problem could have arisen due to some misconfig while changing the DNS... .pls try below

  Remove and re-add the vCenter ESX Server

  Restart the ESX management services... #Service mgmt-vmware restart

• I can not power on my virtual machine

  Hello.

  I get this error message when I run my virtual machine, I don't know what that means. https://ImageShack.com/i/0mijatj

  I can provided newspapers or such if asked.

  Thanks for the help. It is greatly appreciated.

  Please check if the virtual machine folder contains any files or subfolders with a . LCK extension. If so remove them and then try to restart the virtual machine.

• identification of the virtual computer running on local storage

  I am trying to identify virtual machines that are on local disks on specific esx hosts, but can't seem to find the right combination or references that map the.  I'm ready to use all means available to help identifiening, console, vcli linux commands etc.  Any help or pointers appriciated.

  Thank you

  Right now, I don't think there is a way to get the parameter of the BIOS with the SDK boot drive.  The other question is do you want the diskette or the OS Disk/Partition?  For the OS Partition/disk, you will need to query the GuestOS through VIX or any other interface and then that correlate with the SCSI Disk Device in your virtual inventory.

  If you just need the boot drive, you can make the assumption that it is SCSI 0:0.  It would change only by the intervention of the user manual via the BIOS of the virtual machine (F2 at startup).  This assumption is not guaranteed, but it is likely be accurate, most of the time.  I vaguely remember some talk around adding functionality to control the order of boot devices in BIOS of the virtual machine with automation.  If it is added, it would be possible to detect and change the order of boot through a script or a program.

  Something like the following would let you determine the location of the device node and vmdk file:

  use strict;

  use warnings;

  use VMware::VIRuntime;

  OPTS::parse();

  OPTS::Validate();

  Util::Connect();

  My $vm_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine',

  Properties-online ['name', 'config.hardware.device']);

  my $vm foreach (@{$vm_views}) {}

  My $vmname = $vm-> name;

  My $vm_devices = $vm-> {'config.hardware.device'};

  my $vm_disk foreach (grep $_-> isa ('VirtualDisk'), @{$vm_devices}) {}

  My $controller_key = eval {$vm_disk-> controllerKey};

  My $unit_number = eval {$vm_disk-> unitNumber};

  My $controller_bus_number = get_controller_bus_number (controller_key => $controller_key,)

  vm_devices-online $vm_devices);

  My $vm_disk_file_name = eval {$vm_disk-> support-> fileName};

  My $vm_disk_label = eval {$vm_disk->-> label deviceInfo};

  My $vm_device_node = sprintf ("SCSI (" %s: %s %s) ", $controller_bus_number,)")

  ($unit_number, $vm_disk_label);

  printf ("%s: %s, %s\n", $vmname, $vm_device_node, $vm_disk_file_name);

  }

  }

  void get_controller_bus_number {}

  my (% args) = @_;

  My $controller_key = delete ($args {controller_key});

  My $vm_devices = delete ($args {vm_devices});

  my @controllers = grep $_-> key eq $controller_key, @{$vm_devices};

  # Must be only a controller since it is a key value in the VI SDK

  My $bus_number = eval {$controllers [0]-> busNumber};

  Return $bus_number;

  }

  Perl vm - scsinode.pl - username = administrator - server = 172.16.110.10

  Test: SCSI (0:0) hard drive 1, Test/Test.vmdk [datastore1]

  Test: SCSI (1:0) hard drive 2, Test/Test_1.vmdk [datastore1]

  In my output test, I would like to make the assumption that 1 the hard drive is the boot disk based on the SCSI Bus and the logical units (0:0).  If you correlate this back at the sight of the GuestOS of disks, it would be the same values of Bus SCSI and logical unit.

  You will notice that this basically recreates the same string that you would see in "Change settings" on a virtual machine by looking at its labels to disk through the user interface of vCenter.
