  You can move the inserted text to a different location on the picture, if yes how?  How can I put the character and the Panel clause up in the photo shop when you type test?

  Yes.  I find it easier to type text, and then use the move tool (shortcut V) (looks like an arrow) to place it where you want.

  To bring up the character and paragraph panels go to WINDOW > CHARACTER or WINDOW > PARAGRAPH.

  I hope this helps.

• Cannot move the virtual machine to another host

  Here's the situation... I am running 3 ESX 4.0 host in a cluster and I upgrade the memory on these hosts.  I put one day and now I want to use vmotion to move a virtual machine to host more memory, so I can then turn off host 2 to add more memory.

  When I try to migrate the computer to another virtual host he said "the virtual machine must be powered down for that purpose."

  I did it before with success when I first created this group with the HA and DRS settings are enabled.

  Now, I can't do this and I don't know what setting or what changed to cause it to not allow me to manually migrate a virtual computer on one host to another.

  If I wanted to put an ESX host in "Maintenance Mode" thinking that it will automatically move all VM for 2 other hosts in the cluster is not it either... I get a message saying that ' a host into maintenance mode does not any virtual machine functions... blah... blah... and continues to complete the entry into maintenance mode, all virtual machines must be closed or moved to another host. "  Manual intervention may be required.

  Again, I think that if a host is down these VMs would be move... that of the whole point of a cluster but doesn't seem to put in maintenance mode to allow them to go unless I turn off the virtual machine

  Any ideas?

  Go is one of the requirements of vMotion. The message after you had corrected the condition, I'm sure would be erased after awhile.

• Move the virtual computer to a virtual switch

  I created a second virtual switch on my host ESX 4 and I want to move my VM him but can't seem to understand how it's done.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you!

  Change the settings for the computer virtual that you want to move. In the Hardware tab, select the network adapter that connects to the new switch. Use the drop-down list for the network connection to select the new label of network.

• Move-vm can migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster?

  When I try to move-vm has propelled off VM to a destination of DRS cluster, he says that he cannot migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster.   I can explicitly name the destination of the host and it works, but that defeats the purpose of using the DRS and forces me to script on the destination hosts.

  I do something wrong or I would be able to migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster?

  Thank you

  -MattG

  Hello, MattG-

  I get the same behavior as you when you try to move a VM PoweredOff to a DRS cluster, specifying the cluster as the value for the parameter - Destination to Move-VM (using PowerCLI v5.1 Rel 2 v5.5 Rel 1).  Not quite what I expected.

  To work around the problem, and without having to appoint a particular host as destination, you could use some Get-Random, do something like:

  Move-VM myVM0 -Destination (Get-Cluster myDestDRSCluster | Get-VMHost | ?{$_.State -eq "Connected"} | Get-Random) -RunAsync
  

  Who should receive the machine said cluster and on a host that is in the connected state.  A subsequent operation to the market (whenever do you eventually) should then see DRS power on the virtual machine on a suitable host in the cluster.

  Maybe the dev team can comment if this behavior is the expected or desired.

  Anyway, how does do for you?

• Move the virtual computers folder to another computer?

  Hi, I would like to move the virtual computers folder of my laptop to a desktop computer much faster with several hard drives and space. This will have a new installation of VMserver 2.

  What I do on the new desktop so that the guest VM starts.

  On the laptop the VMserver is installed on the 'C' drive with the virtual computers folder on the disk "D". This may or may not be the case on the new office!

  Thank you

  Paul

  Should be relatively easy if you follow these steps:

  (1) stop (do not hang in the case has different chiptset between the two hosts) all running VMs

  (2) copy all of the files and folders that are there for the virtual machines that you want your host existing to the new, either to files in the existing data store or create a new data store that points to the folder heierarchy where you copy them on.

  (3) check files hard .vmx and ascii on arrival to ensure that they reflect the paths right on the new machine

  (4) in the web user interface, find the .vmx files and add them to the inventory (see screenshot)

  (5) check in the virtual machine network adapters are you like in case they are different between the two hosts

  (6) start them

• Virtual and models - computers cannot move the VM in the folder "operation is not supported on the object."

  Hey everybody,

  We are running vSphere 4.0. During the whole period that we used vSphere, we use vApps and Resource Pools hosts and Clusters to organize and manage the virtual machines used by our production team and test. From what I understand, this can be semantically incorrect (see: http://virtualizationreview.com/blogs/everyday-virtualization/2010/10/vsphere-folder-organization.aspx). So, I've navigated to models and virtual computers, created in folders with permissions of the user and tried to move their respective VMs to their folders... and I get the following error:

  "The operation is not supported on the object."

  So, should I go on the resolution of this or to leave things as they are?

  What are your opinions?

  Is there a right or wrong way to manage VMs of the multiple users?

  Thank you for your time and help,

  Johnathan

  Avinash21,

  Thanks for the tip.

  Move the virtual machines of the TIME solved the problem.

  When I suggest them to the root of the host, I was able to move in a user folder.

  Thanks again,

• How to move a virtual machine to a different data store, preserving its ID

  I would like to move a virtual machine to a different data store.

  Because I use 3rd party software that identifies a virtual machine by its ID of VirtualCenter, I'd like to preserve the ID, and I also want to preserve the name of the virtual computer.

  If I clone the virtual machine, I lose the ID and name.

  I can clone a second time to restore the name, but the ID is always false.

  I know that I can use vmkfstools-i to copy the entire disk.

  Is it possible to copy the entire VM?

  I am currently on ESX 3.0.2/VC 2.0.2

  The operation that I describe is available in 3.5.x/VC ESX 2.5.x

  TIA,

  -Magister

  Don't use EVER of CP to copy a VM, VMDK move/copy should be used in conjunction with vmkfstools as best practice.

  OP,

  You can manually make a copy using the CLI interface or use the VI Client and browse the data store and to copy and paste in the appropriate data and as suggested Andre store, when you switch on for the first time, you should say 'keep' when asked if you want to update the virtual machine UUID.

  Another thing, you could do, is if you've enabled for vMotion, you can actually use Storage vMotion which will migrate directly from your virtual machine to a different data store, it's less effort on your side and you can count on Andrew Kutz sVMotion plugin: http://sourceforge.net/projects/vip-svmotion/

• Moving the virtual computer configuration file and work on the clone of the model

  Using the VirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator to move disks from different NFS data warehouses when cloning a model looks very good work.  However, the Virtual Machine configuration file and the location of work remain on their original NFS data storage, not moving with the root of the drive.

  If this move not all together, or am I missing a step here?

  Thank you

  Scott

  Specifying the "data store" in VirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator specifies the location of the VM virtual disks only. To move the virtual machine, it might also be necessary to specify "datastore" property of "VirtualMachineRelocateSpec. If this is not specified, the current data store is used to store the files of the virtual computer.

• Move a virtual computer running vCenter

  All,

  I have Windows 2003 with vCenter Server and the license server running on a virtual machine on ESX 3.0.2.  I change my vmfs configurations to use extensions and move this virtual machine to a different vmfs partition I created.  How can I do this from vCenter is running on this virtual computer?  I just clone the virtual machine and then place the files on the new VMFS datastore and then turn off the initial tension on the new and delete the original?  Is there a better way to do it?  Thank you!

  Another way that do is clone the VM on the other server.  Stop it and start using the other VM...

• How can I move the Virtual Mode of Windows XP hard drive to another drive

  How can I move the Virtual Mode of Windows XP hard drive to another drive?

  TIA

  Hi Benyl,

  The vhd in programfiles basis cannot be moved or renamed, if done, xp mode stops at the start.

  To move the files under c, first to boot xp, instead of save mode the machine virtual., turn it off. (settings to prompt the user for action narrow close). Close the machine virtual., and then choose stop. This will remove the vsv file. Do not delete the .vsv file because it contains data if you have not registered in the virtual machine.

  Now, move it "C:\Users\CHRIS.domainname\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows virtual PC\Virtual Machines\Windows XP Mode.vhd" to a desired location.

  Parameters of xp mode open, go to the hard drive 1 setting and reposition the hard drive to the new location of the vhd. You should now be able to start the virtual machine.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• Expand or move the virtual machine to another partition / hard disk

  I tried to expand my 90 GB disk but nothing changes, i.e. the virtual machine is still to 60 GB. I have VMware Fusion 6 (Mac/Windows 10) and my VM is monolithic mode. In this true HD, I even 50 GB free and I can't increase the amount again in an attempt to rectify this problem and I can not to decrease either. I thought to change the location of the virtual machine to another partition/hd with more space, but I don't know how. So I need little help to choose and implements one of the solutions below:

  - or regularise space for the new amount

  - or move the virtual machine (vmdk) to an another partition/HD

  - or to convert monolithic mode to 2 GB split

  What is the best solution?

  Thanks in advance

  It's help me;

  Resize a Windows Partition with disk management tool

  When you maximize your virtual hard disk, you must also expand partition of your guest operating system to take advantage of the extra space.

  Fusion resizes the partition of the guest operating system when you resize the virtual hard disk. If you hold the Option key when you click apply to resize the drive, you can manually resize the Windows partition. For Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista you can use the operating system's disk management tool to resize a partition.

  Prerequisites

  Check that your virtual hard disk is large enough to accept the increase in the size of the partition. See resize a hard disk.

  Procedure

  1 right click on computer and select Manage.

  2. double-click on storage.

  3 double-click disk management.

  4 in the list, right click on the partition to expand and select Extend the Volume.

  5 follow the prompts to resize the partition and click complete and the question of the partition in the disk management pane displays its new size.

  6. close the computer management window

• List not updated virtual machines after the migration of the virtual machine to a different data store

  My vSphere infrastructure 5 uses several data stores.

  Two data warehouses are associated with NFS on different NAS shares.

  I migrate VM to a data to another store.

  The navigation data store, I see that the files are moved from the old data store to the new and that no file belonging to the migrated VM still does exist on the old data store.

  If I look at the list of VMs on the old data store, I still see the old VM.

  I see it in the list of the virtual machine on the new data store as well.

  I checked that no .iso no pagefile is in the old data store.

  How can I update the list of the virtual machine on the old data store?

  Above all, how can I safely delete the old data store by ensuring that the virtual machine works very well on the new data store and I don't lose anything?

  Concerning

  Marius

  This use of data store 'Phantom' is usually observed, if the current configuration of the virtual computer points to the 'old' data store (diskette, CD-ROM) or the virtual machine contains snapshots where - at the time where tone have been created - the VM has had these references. Once the snapshots are deleted from data store 'ghost' will go away from summary of the virtual machine.

• Move a virtual machine to a different nic

  I have a host who has four NICs.  I want to separate the traffic from a virtual machine to a specific network card that is not in use now. Currently, the host has configured two vswitches. He can see the four NICs and only two have been associated with the two vswitches.

  I was thinking about adding a third switch and adding the new network adapter.  Can I add the nic to the swith and just move the server itself?

  Thanks in advance for the help,

  Edsel

  Still not sure if I understand you correctly. What you need to migrate the virtual computer to another vSwitch is:

  • create a new vSwitch with a Virtual Machine port group
  • assign an unused uplink (vmnic) to this vSwitch and connect it to a physical switch
  • Open the settings of the virtual machine and change the port in the network settings
  • change the configuration OF the virtual machine if necessary
