• How the scripts for the new virtual machine storage profile

  Hey all,.

  I have a long script that I've been put together so that our operations people size new virtual machines.  I ask a series of questions for such things as the VM name, cluster, VLAN, plug hardware, OS/template, etc.  I use LucD method to create a temporary copy of a customization OS specification to insert a static IP address.  I have everything works except that I can't figure out how this script drop-down list:

  

  vSphere 5.0, any VCD.  Looks like it should be pretty simple, but I can't find anything on how to do it.  It would be nice to choose this in the New - VM cmdlet somewhere, as well as the use of the GUI.  Any ideas?

  Throw a glance PowerCLI 5.8, when it is available, there is a charge storage profile cmdlets in there (as we showed in our VMworld session this week).

• Cannot access shares on the new virtual machines, the Win2012R2

  We have recently installed 2 new Windows Server R2 Standard 2012 guests and we are not able to access shares Windows created on them.

  I found This KB VMware, but KB Windows, it refers to only seems to apply to Windows Server 2012 (non - R2). I checked audit them access to the GPO is not enabled on this server and Ive disabled HotAdd/HotPlug ability also referred to as a work around for this article.

  Anyone encountered this? Better yet, someone else have any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

  Thank you!

  Ah crud. Sorry to waste after all... the Windows Firewall is on. Once, I added an exception all worked as it should.

  Sorry!

• Change the default options for a NEW virtual machine in ESXI 5.1

  Hello

  I am looking for a solution change the 'default' options for a new virtual machine created in ESXI 5.1

  I want to have parameters such as 'cpu/memory HOT-add' default to enabled instead of disabled.

  There may be more options to change to a new virtual machine.

  All those who have an option to change the 'default' options for new virtual machines?

  THX

  You can change the/etc/vmware/config of vSphere host file and add the lines mem.hotadd = 'TRUE' and vcpu.hotadd = 'TRUE '.
  The settings then apply to any VM on this host when virtual machines are turned on...

  I just tried this on a 5.1 ESXi host and it seems to work perfectly...

• . ISO is grayed out when you try to make the new Virtual Machine

  I recently downloaded fusion VM 5 and I am trying to make a virtual machine for windows 7 without using a disc. I use an .iso file that is saved on my mac. When I'm in the new virtual machine Wizard and go click win7.iso I can't because the text and thumbnail are grayed out and won't do anything. Help, please.

  The page you are showing has noting to do with the installation of an ISO Image, it takes to with the virtual hard disk.  The ISO Image is assigned to the CD/DVD in the settings of the Virtual Machine if you don't select it in the wizard at the beginning.

  1 Select file > new.

  2 the new Virtual Machine Assistant starts.

  3 click on continue without disc to go to the installation media Panel.

  4 in the installation media Panel, click on the image or use operating system installation disc.

  5. use the drop-down menu to locate the file .iso for the operating system.

• Create the new virtual machine using Java API vCloud

  Hi guys,.

  I am trying to create the new virtual machine in TIME, but I've stuck here. The API I'm using is vcloud-java-sdk - 1.0.jar.

  Could you please show me a code snippet how to do this?

  For now I do it like this:

  RecomposeVAppParamsType recomposeVAppParamsType = new RecomposeVAppParamsType();

  List the items < CompositionItemParamType > = recomposeVAppParamsType.getItem ();
  ReferenceType vappTemplateVMRef = new ReferenceType();

  // ??? seems that new reference to the new virtual machine should be here. But how to create this VM
  CompositionItemParamType compositionItemParamType = new CompositionItemParamType();
  compositionItemParamType.setSource (vappTemplateVMRef);

  Items.Add (compositionItemParamType);
  ReferenceType vAppRef is Vdc.getVdcByReference (vcloudClient, vdcRef) .getVappRefByName ("vApp_Websrv");.

  Vapp.getVappByReference (vcloudClient, vAppRef) .recomposeVapp (recomposeVAppParamsType);

  One day before I played with Web Services SDK, which is much easier to understand. I was able to create the vApp and VMs in vSphere. Is it possible to import machines virtual vSphere to vCloud? Should what API I use for this?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You cannot add a new empty virtual machine in a paralytic.

  Instead, you can add a virtual machine from an existing vapp, vapptemplate.

  To import a vsphere vm to vcloud.

  Import vsphere vm as VAPP in vcloud. VMWVimserver-> importVmAsVApp()

  The importation of vsphere vm, as vAppTemplate, in vcloud. VMWVimserver-> importVmAsVAppTemplate()

  See also the example of ImportVmAsvAppTemplate.java, which is part of the vcloudjavasdk group.

• Impossible to change the path for the shared virtual machines

  Hello

  as long as user root, in the Preferences menu, shared, VMs when I change the location and

  (1) push apply 1 time, the path is created in the right place on the hard drive but when I want to share a virtual machine and move toward this path, the default path is the default: / var/lib/vmware... not the one created by the menu setting.

  Cannot change the location for the shared virtual machines.

  (2) push apply several times: odd error menu

  

  OS: Linux mandriva 64

  Any ideas?  Is this a way to manually change the path in a config file?

  Best respect

  Out of work station - stop pass.
  Then edit datastores.xml - don't know where the files on Linux - I expect it be in/etc/vmware/hostd or something like that

• Suggestion on Vcenter DB migration on the new virtual machine and enhancement vcenter server

  Hello

  I'm looking for any suggestion/plan with Vcenter DB migration steps towards the new virtual machine, and then upgrade the server vcenter

  4.1 for Update1/2

  My plan will be

  (1) creating new virtual machine.

  (2) fresh install 64-bit OS

  (3) migration Vcenter DB of the physical server to the new virtual machine.

  (4) upgrade to Vcenter Server 4.1 update 41 4.1 Update1/2

  Anything else missing then please let me know.

  Thank you

  vmguy

  Hi vmguy

  I agree with this approach

  (3) migration Vcenter DB of the physical server to the new virtual machine.

  As long as you leave the old DB in tact and simply detach and copy the DB to the new Victoria Cross.

  Before you run the upgrade on the new VC and DB.

  This way, you have a restoration plan in case something goes wrong with the upgrade.

  Just to add:

  You must migrate the ADAM database so to maintain the specified permissions vCenter

  See: Migrateing vCenter new host

  Please allow points if you find this useful/correct

• Defining the new Virtual Machine

  When you set the new Virtual Machine, what is the size of the virtual disk to specify? (Default value is 8GB) Should we check "Allocate all disk space now" option?

  No, this hard disk space actually leaves your portable office/computer hard drive free space.

  Look at your free space of the desktop and then add a new hard drive with 30 concerts or more.   Check again, and note that this space has disappeared.   Then you can just delete it and it comes back.

  Yes, just use the ' Add ' button.

  If you find this information useful, please give points of

  'correctness '.

  or "useful."

• OsCustomizationSpec and OSCustomizationNicMapping they are a good way to set up the new virtual machine for the model

  I build a script to generate auto magicly VM when I have import information from a csv file. I have the latest PowerCli, I am trying to build servers r2 Sever 2012 model.  I tried several OsCustomizationSpec (OCS) of in the hope of getting something to work, but I had no luck so far.  In VCenter, it shows that it applies the OCS, but is not apear to have an impact on the server.  I have disabled UAC since the last time that I tried it so maybe that will make a difference.  I am under ESXi 5.1 update 2, just to try to give all the necessary information.  Ideally, I'd like Sysprep, the value of intellectual property, change the computer name and join the server to the domain.  That's all! lol I have the book "VMware vSphere PowerCLI Reffernece, automating vSphere Administration, I walked through step by step.  The new version of PowerCli seems not have the x 86 limitation as earlier versions of PowerCli.  I tried so many different things, I'm not sure what to put in place as a starting point.

  # Save the object credentials with permission to join the domain.
  $DomainCredentials = get-Credential "domain\testername."
  # Clone our Spec by adding the domain information.
  $Spec = get-OSCustomizationSpec "Windows Server 2012 R2"
  $Spec += get-OSCustomizationNicMapping - Spec $Spec
  #$Spec | Select *.

  # Get our VM
  # Change network settings
  Get - VM BigServername | Get-NetworkAdapter | Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkName nic - 172.16.25 - VLAN225 - connected: $true '
  -Confirm: $false | out-null
  # Close the comments to make change.
  Stop-VMGuest - VM $VM - confirm: $false | out-null
  # Wait while feedback stops
  While ($vm. ExtensionData.Runtime.PowerState - not "poweredOff")
  {
  Start-Sleep - seconds 1
  $vm. ExtensionData.UpdateViewData ('Runtime.PowerState')
  }
  # Apply Spec customization to apply the new network settings
  Get - VM "BigServername" |
  Set-VM - OSCustomizationSpec "R2 Windows Server 2012" - confirm: $false |
  Start-VM

  I can rebuild the model, or something else, we must do this work.

  OR - is simply not the best way to configure the VM?  If not, what Sysprep?

  Good news, but first, I would really like to know where the log files are on which server to the OsCustomization process.

  I decided to reverse engineer and create a CSOS within vCeneter and once I got to work, I kept creating new CSO via PowerCli until I could get that to work, create a new virtual machine.  Once I got this to work, I have tryied to apply on a cloned vm, with no parameters. I got it works too.  I tried to go back to my original image, but I couldn't get this to work.  Something's wrong with this picture.  He wrath that the problem was related to the permissions on the local client.

  New OSCustomizationSpec - OrgName company OSType - Windows - ChangeSid-Server "vcenter.dom.com" - name PowerCliOnly4 - persistent administrator-Type FullName - AdminPassword! password123 - zone "Eastern (USA and Canada)" AutoLogonCount - 3 - domain dom dadmin - DomainUsername - DomainPassword! password123 NamingScheme - vm-Description "PowerCli Use only" - confirm: $false

  This seems to be very picky.  Because the area is one of the parameters, you cannot put it in the DomainUsername, no dom\dadmin. The part that I really want to know how to get more, is what happens if your vm has a different local administrator as the administrator account.  It turns out that FullName - is not the account that it to connect locally with tires.

  I think that it is good to know that the virtual machine reboot 4 or 5 times as it goes through this process.  It breaks is you try and do something for the virtual machine that interrupt the process.  I don't know that I'll think more questions in a second.

  In addition, it cost he had some problems with the put between quotation marks, single or double around the password, but I did not check this again, I just know that once I took them, he began to work.  I ran on other issues while testing as I was using a single IP address, so if I do not disable the test VM, the following would not work because of the conflct network, maybe I shouldn't admit that... lol

• ESXi embedded, cannot start the new virtual machine

  We have installed just a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with ESXi embedded.  That part went well.  I am able to connect through the client.  I can create a new virtual machine.  That's where I met problems.  No matter what I tried the machine does not start.  I ' v tried the host device as CDROM, the device as CDROM, and even customer created ISO W2003 CD and downloaded.  I can't understand why he won't start.   Whenever he tried to boot from the network or when he fails he just says "operating system not found" and stays like that.  I started in the bios of the virtual machine and made sure the startup options are correct, etc.  I'm lost.

  I read this forum for like a day and while I see some who have had similar problems, I have not seen this precise question or a question with an answer that applies to my question.  It could be the pre holiday drink

  I hope someone can advise.

  Thank you

  Take a look at this post and try the instructions to boot from an ISO on the side of client - http://communities.vmware.com/message/1106573#1106573.

• Install the new virtual machine as a guest of the installation of boot CD

  Hello

  HOWTO install new virtual machine as a guest of the boot installation CD?

  first of all can I mount the CD drive?

  Best way to do is to download the CD image on your server ESX with WinSCP or FastSCP.

  Connect the cd player to the guest for this ISO image and make sure that the option "Connect to PowerOn" is selected.

  If you hav access your esx host you can also insert the cd in the CD drive, ESX host and connect the guest to the host drive. Check the option "connect to PowerOn.

  Start your virtual machine and it should start from CD.

• Problem fixing existing vmdk to the new virtual machine

  Hello

  Just upgraded to Fusion 6 and things seem ok (except for the dreaded license bug, but it's ok now).

  I'm having a problem attaching a form of virtual disk existing a VM - operation - existing. Basically, all the vmdk files are grayed out and non-eligible, regardless of the option to share / copy / to support the disc.

  I checked that I have full R/W access to the fie (and it works fine if I fire up the other virtual machine).

  Any idea?

  Well I ended up adding another player new to the virtual machine, I wanted to and the drafting of the description of disk (Disk DescriptorFile #)

  in the manually - vmdk file works great...
