Change of that flag - hot virtual CPU add
Hello
I'm trying to build an application that will add/remove of CPU and memory to a machine virtual a VApp.
I currently have the code to add.
What I need is to understand the options 'Add a virtual CPU hot' and 'Hot-memory add' how to define those who through the API? And do I need to change in order to add new CPU/memory?
Thank you
Hen
Hi Henrique,
Basically the virtual CPU/memory hot add means that modifing the number of CPU / memory of the virtual machine, the virtual machine is running.
In the API, you don't need to set options to do - simply start the virtual machine and to try to change - even as usual editing operation.
Note that are are some requirements to perform "HOT ADD" operations, so if some of the requirements is not fullfilled "hot add" operation will fail. For example, this feature is added in VC 4.0, so the version of the VC on which runs the cloud must be at least 4.0 VC. For other requirements on the add feature hot, you can refer to the location of the following link:
I hope this helps! Please write if you have questions.
Kind regards
Grigor

Hi, I'm relatively new on VMs, but have been playing with them for about the last 6 months. I have an ESXi host that is running 4 comments VM, and I can't understand how the host allocates CPU on the host servers.
One of the guests is a newly installed Exchange 2010 Server 2008 R2. In this guest operating system, the windows Task Manager showed that the CPU was at least a little. However, when I look at the contents of the host tab, it shows the use of the processor as the half. I thought that the host was supposed to allocate as much as necessary, but it seems to me that the host has more that's not give at the prompt. So after I saw that I configured the client to have a 2nd virtual processor, but then I read that this is not recommended. I put also the actions of CPU high for this customer. I did not have a reservation, but I was wondering if I should? I booked it 8 GB of memory, which doesn't seem to be a problem. Even with the 2nd CPU virtual, always double virtual processors poster Task Manager get maxed out sometimes, and the server can act quite slow when I'm trying to set it up, but the usuage on the host still seems low.
I guess I'm confused, I thought the host was supposed to automatically extend the amount of resources needed a guest so that you shouldn't ever Miss unless the host itself is maxed out. Can someone explain to me the best way to set this up so this exchange area gets all CPUS, that he needs?
Thank you!
Hello
The way it works is that you have a server with 1 quad not core cpu no hyper threading. This would have 4 cores to vmware to use. 4 cores is 4 virtual cpu to use at a relaxed pace. If you were to add it is 4 virtual cpu for all your virtual machines, you should be oversubscription and basically your VMs will begin waiting for the long time available CPU. You can measure with the KPI of time CPU waiting.
When you set a reserve, say 1000 Mhz to a virtual machine, which means that there is always 1000 Mhz available on this computer from the total pool of available CPU MHz.
1 virtual processor for a machine of Exchange 2010 is by far not enough cpu power. You do not want to give a little.
But why you are seeing in the guest computer use at 100% is because you have allocated only 1 vcpu virtual machine, so it is only using 1 core of the CPU. If you have a quad core cpu you would probably see the ESXi host around 25% usage
Hope this clears for you

change the settings of the virtual machine through configuration files?
Hello
Is it possible to change the settings of a virtual computer by directly modifying the configuration on the esxi host files?
And no one knows where these files are stored? Searched for them, but could not find at all (yet)
Say use winscp to change the config file that reflects the virtual machine?
Thank you
Delete the original virtual machine. Right click on the VM 'delete inventory '. Open the data store and locate the vmx file. Right click and "add to the inventory.

I am trying to add a gmail account to Thunderbird that already hosts several gmail accounts. No matter what I do, I can't recognize the password in Thunderbird. I admit, I was wrong a few times, but I got the right one, and it was typed in perfectly several times, as well as copy and paste. The password worked well to log on to the account directly, but not in Thunderbird. I tried to change the password, and that doesn't work anymore. I tried to add this account in Windows and Ubuntu 14.04 8.1, and the results were the same. In Ubuntu, I tried adding add another account that I needed, and which took place without a hitch. The only thing I can think is the address that I am trying to add is linked to an email address for a Web site being transferred to me which is hosted by Yahoo and his business correspondence. I tried to add the account yahoo directly, but I add the same problems with passwords, but I suspect that most of you know that it's because Yahoo is simply suck more to try to become irrelevant.
I can't believe how quickly you help on this forum, a few seconds, you guys solved the problem and the account has been added with any other questions. People on this forum rock!
Now I'm beginning to suspect that he indeed had to do with this first batch of bad passwords.

You cannot use vSphere client to change the settings of the virtual machine v10 or more
Hello
I just downloaded new version of Kali Linux to do some tests with my free version of ESXi update 5.5 2, the problem is that I can't change the settings of the virtual machine in vSphere Client.
It's so good because of the independence of Web OS Client vSphere but what about the free version? Everyone knows you need a vCenter running successfully and a license for the vSphere Web Client.
There is no free version of VMWare vCenter.
Nice day.

VCO allows you to change the owner of the Virtual Machine
Hello
All the world has discovered a way to change the owner of a virtual computer through vCO?
I can update the IaaS record with the new owner:
//Find the vCAC Owner Object var modelName = 'ManagementModelEntities.svc'; var entitySetName = 'Users'; var filter = "indexof(UserName,'" + Owner + "') gt -1"; var orderBy = ''; var top = 1; var skip = 0; var headers = null; var select = null; var entity = vCACEntityManager.readModelEntitiesBySystemQuery(vCACHost.id, modelName, entitySetName, filter, orderBy, select, top, skip, headers); System.log("User Name - " + entity[0].properties.get("UserName")); //Setup new links var links = { Owner: entity[0] } //Update VM with new Owner Link var updateProperties = new Properties(); System.getModule("com ibrary.vcac").updateVCACEntity(vCACHost.id, modelName, "VirtualMachines", vCACEntity.keyString, updateProperties, links, null);
Is anyway to update this information in the COFFEE database as well? The owner of the object of custom resource field is read-only, and there is no method to set the owner.
Thank you
James
After a few trials and investigations... I thought about it. Basically, you must update the link as posted on the virtualmachine entity owner earlier. You then the kickoff of operations workflow 2, UpdateMachineNotes and UpdateMachineOwner.
UpdateMachineNotes updates the VRMOwner field in vsphere, UpdateMachineOwner updates the DB COFFEE (I guess, did not follow it throughout again).
After creating the operation, you must add 2 workflowoperationarguments to identify which virtual machine to run the operation on and the user of the identity for the operation.
The following code executes a UpdateMachineNotes:
//Global Variables var modelName = 'ManagementModelEntities.svc'; var links = null var headers = null; //Create the workflow operation System.log("Create operation.") var entitySetName = 'WorkflowOperations'; var properties = { OperationName:"UpdateMachineNotes" }; var operation = vCACEntityManager.createModelEntity(vCACHost.id, modelName, entitySetName, properties, links, headers); //Setup variables for arugments var entitySetName = 'WorkflowOperationArguments'; var links = { "WorkflowOperation":operation } //Create workflow argument 1 System.log("Create argument 1.") var properties = { Name:"VirtualMachineId", Value:vCACVM.virtualMachineID.toString() }; var argEntity1 = vCACEntityManager.createModelEntity(vCACHost.id, modelName, entitySetName, properties, links, headers); //Create workflow argument 2 System.log("Create argument 2.") var properties = { Name:"IdentityUser", Value:Owner }; var argEntity2 = vCACEntityManager.createModelEntity(vCACHost.id, modelName, entitySetName, properties, links, headers);
The following code executes a UpdateMachineOwner:
var modelName = 'ManagementModelEntities.svc'; var entitySetName = 'WorkflowOperations'; var links = null var headers = null; var properties = { OperationName:"UpdateMachineOwner" }; System.log("Create operation.") var operation = vCACEntityManager.createModelEntity(vCACHost.id, modelName, entitySetName, properties, links, headers); var entitySetName = 'WorkflowOperationArguments'; var links = { "WorkflowOperation":operation } System.log("Create argument 1.") var properties = { Name:"VirtualMachineId", Value:vCACVM.virtualMachineID.toString() }; var argEntity1 = vCACEntityManager.createModelEntity(vCACHost.id, modelName, entitySetName, properties, links, headers); System.log("Create argument 2.") var properties = { Name:"IdentityUser", Value:Owner }; var argEntity2 = vCACEntityManager.createModelEntity(vCACHost.id, modelName, entitySetName, properties, links, headers);
Running an update owner, followed by these 2 operations link, will do exactly the same thing would have operations by clicking "Edit" in the GUI.

Edit: The owner variable, should be in the format of
@ . vCACVM, is an IaaS VM object. vCACHost is a host of vCAC IaaS. -

Basic principles of virtual CPU
Dear all,
Can someone share the basic principles of the virtual CPU & its architecture?
We want to know, that UC will get accessible by each VM below cases:
Case 1:
Physical server: 2 CPU (6 cores)
VMS: Total of 3 amendments
Case 2:
Physical server: 4 CPU (6 cores)
VMS: Total of 3 amendments

According to the discussion, I conclude that 1 core = 1 vCPU?
And in the affirmative, please give me the documentation in this regard.
FYI - Hyper V is statingthat capacity planning Guide is 8 vCPU per processor.
No, it's not really a direct relationship with 1 base = vCPU, in the case that you "bind" a carrot to a vCPU. Several virtual machines may use the same kernel, just not the same millisecond.
Allow to use the said you have only one physical CPU with only 1 core, you can always have 2 virtual machines with one vCPU each. Or 4 virtual machine or VM 16 or any other number. Guest for the processor operating system needs, the VMkernel to increase access between the vCPUs on time to the physical basis.

Hello
Anyone know why my VM Win2008 OS doesn´t recognize the vSMP (virtual CPU) assigned 6 and do recognize that 4 vSMP?.
I have the correct license for VSphere and VCenter, also in the guest OS device manager, I can see the six vCPUs but in the System Properties window, I can see only four vCPUs.
I m running on ESX 4.0
I hope someone can help me on this problem.
P.S. I have attached images of system properties and Device Manager

OK, this problem beautifully undescriptive I've seen caused by what seems to be dozens of things happening for me.
I made the mistake of horrible update my FC8 kernel to the latest one (2.6.26.8 - 57.fc8). Mind you, that's all that's changed. It was with a 1.06 server with happiness and perfectly good computers running virtual in use before the upgrade.
After the new kernel and reboot, I had to rebuild vmmod. I had to get a fix of any - any later that I used with my previous kernel (116 does not solve the problem of compiling) so I used all-any117d. Update like a champion.
Try to turn on a VM and Ihanta!, the above error.
Nothing else was changed.
I tried the upgrade to VMware Server 1.08. Used all-new any117d - update OK.
Error again.
I have re-run the compilation, this time to say 'yes' to what the installation script to "adjust the permissions of all virtual machines in xxxlist" or whatnot.
Error again.
status of /etc/init.d/VMware
Networking networking on/dev/vmnet0 is running
Invited only on/dev/vmnet1 network is running
Network invited only on/dev/vmnet8 is running
NAT networking on/dev/vmnet8 is running
Responsible vmmon module
Loaded module Vmnet
FWIW, I compile as long as root, but have always run VMware server from my UID nonroot.
What now?
I'm in the same boat. Fedora 8 2.6.26.8 - 57.fc8 #1 SMP
I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling v1.0.6 thru 1.0.8 with all 116 updates and 117d. 117D compiles with every version of server but when I try to turn on a virtual computer I get this error.
Cannot change the power state of virtual machine: the process has exited with an error:
vmxvmdb: name of the Index generated by the configuration file
POST (no connection): Version mismatch with vmmon module: expected 138.0, obtained 168.0.
You have a bad version of the module kernel "vmmon.
Try reinstalling VMware Server.
POST (no connection): failed to initialize the surveillance apparatus.
Failed to initialize the virtual machine.
End of the error message.
I found several posts other people have this problem but
they are months with no recent activity and nothing that solved the problem. I found appeared
to get a fix, one updated the all an update that corrects the problem for
2.6.26 performing several nuclei, but the link for the update on TI-psycho appears to be dead. Here is the link to the discussion

Of course, I would like to know how to solve this problem as well.

Install macOS that Sierra is trying to add a new support tool
When you try to install macOS Sierra I get a popup asking for my password that says "install macOS that Sierra is trying to add a new support tool". I have never had this with the previous updates and research of these discussions and more generally on Google pulls a vacuum. Is it safe to put my admin password in and proceed with the installation?
I can tell that you have no option to move forward.
Is it safe? We can only assume, if you trust the big Apple.

Change the binding of the virtual network card network
Hallo,
Since a few days, I try to get a script in orchestrator.
here my script:
System.log ("Start SetNics");
virtualDeviceConfigSpec1 = new VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpec();
virtualDeviceConfigSpec1 = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vc.vm.spec.config").getVirtualDeviceConfigSpec (nic1, null, VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation.edit)
virtualDeviceConfigSpec1.device = nic1;
Server.log ("Set NIC2 ("virtualDeviceConfigSpec1.device.deviceInfo.label") of ConfigSprec");
virtualDeviceConfigSpec1.device.backing = new VcVirtualEthernetCardNetworkBackingInfo();
virtualDeviceConfigSpec1.device.backing.network = network1.reference;
Server.log ("Set Network1 backing");
virtualDeviceConfigSpec1.operation = VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation.edit;
var virtualMachineConfigSpec = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();
virtualMachineConfigSpec.deviceChange = new Array();
virtualMachineConfigSpec.deviceChange.push (virtualDeviceConfigSpec1);
tempVm.reconfigVM_Task (in virtualMachineConfigSpec);
the script needs to change a network adapter is connected to the network.
the variables are:
tempVm = VirtualMachine
Network1 = network
NIC1 = VcVirtualPCNet32
I hope someone could help me
with greetings

When you retrieve the VirtualDeviceConfigSpec object, in the getVirtualDeviceConfigSpec() method, the method returns the blank template for the VirtualDeviceConfigSpec. To use this technique in your case, you must also specify which virtual device to change for example, you must set the virtualDeviceConfigSpec1.device property to change the network link for a virtual network device. To do the same thing, see the following steps:
1 retrieve all virtual devices available to the virtual machine by using the vm.config.hardware.device property
2. remove the network device appropriate for which the network link must be changed
3 set the appliance recoveries of VirtualDeviceConfigSpec device. Here, you can either use the getvirtualdevicespec() method or create a new object virtualdeviceconfigspec.
Please see below the code snippet to change the network to a virtual machine.
Here, we provide three input parameters, namely the virtual machine whose network needs to be changed, the existing network name and the name of the new network.
string variable existNetwork contains the name of the existing network
string variable NouveauNetwork contains the name of the new network
var vmspec = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();
device of var = new VcVirtualPCNet32();
var devicearr = new Array();
NIC var = new VcVirtualEthernetCardNetworkBackingInfo();
nic.deviceName = NouveauNetwork;
var devicespec = new VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpec();
var features = vm.config.hardware.device;
for (var I in devices)
{
If (devices [i] instanceof VcVirtualPCNet32)
{
If (.deviceInfo.summary [i] devices is existNetwork)
{
devicespec. Device = [i] devices;
devicespec. Operation = VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation.edit;
devicespec. Device.Backing = nic;
devicearr [0] = devicespec;
}
}
}
vmspec.deviceChange = devicearr;
task = vm.reconfigVM_Task (vmspec);
I hope this helps.
