• Change the uuid (bios.uuid) to a virtual computer

  Hello

  I tried to change the UUID of this way:

  var UUIDlog = vcVM.config.uuid;
  System.log("UUID at the moment: " + UUIDlog);
  System.log("UUID to set : " + UUIDnew);
  vcVM.config.uuid = UUIDnew;
  var UUIDcontrol = vcVM.config.uuid;
  System.log("UUID after change: " + UUIDcontrol);
  

  vCO shows the correct value of MB but the VMX file is not updated.

  
  

  [17:05:48.923 2015-01-07] [I] UUID at the moment: 564dc846-3c30-b95f-84fc-4d9e168ecd07

  [17:05:48.923 2015-01-07] [I] UUID set: 42286f25-0cfe-4a18-ffd4-79a682663297

  [17:05:48.923 2015-01-07] [I] after change UUID: 42286f25-0cfe-4a18-ffd4-79a682663297

  
  

  Someone knows what's the problem?

  Use the script reconfigVM_Task() method. Something like the following code:

  var spec = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();
  spec.uuid =  "..."; // place your new UUID value here
  vm.reconfigVM_Task(spec);
  

• Can I change the uuid.location and uuid.bios by vCLI command?

  Can I change or generate the uuid.location and uuid.bios by vCLI command? Or I have to use the VMware API function?

  When I copied a virtual machine, in the menu "Question Answer", I have to choose "I copied it". Then I looked at the VM1.vmx and found only the uuid.location, uuid.bios and the ethernet0.generatedAddress have been changed. I can manually change them?

  Thank you very much.

  The UUID is generated automatically just, it is not recommended that you change it yourself. If you want a particular fault that you keep or change it, you can add the following .vmx such as specified by this VMware KB - params http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1541

  The MAC address can be changed, but you must make sure that you follow VMware Yes 00:50:56, this is a VMware KB with details - http://kb.vmware.com/kb/507

• Help - profile change Service models and policies without changing the existing MAC or WWN vNIC and vHBAs

  Hello

  I would like to know if there is a way to preserve existing vNIC MACs and WWN vHBA if I change the model of a Service profile?

  To clarify, our Service profiles have been created since an initial model, and now we'd like as these Service profiles to point to a - model - update to simplify management.

  Initial-template originally provided manually created vNIC and vHBAs and used no LAN or SAN connectivity political, but the new updated model made.

  VNIC names and vHBA names, as well as the MAC and WWN used in connectivity pools policies update-model are the same as those currently used by the Service profiles.

  To rephrase the question:
  Is it possible to change initial-model a Service profile to a template update with essentially the same everything, without changing the UUID currently in use MACs of the profile Service, WWN and perhaps?
  If the answer is that they are not the same when this happens, then someone know of any workaround?

  Thanks for your help!

  Hi RR

  With respect to the Central of the UCS and sequential allocation:

  https://supportforums.Cisco.com/discussion/12006286/UCS-Central-sequenti...

  http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/TD/docs/unified_computing/UCS/release/notes...
  New features in version 1.1(2a)
   
  Allocation of ID sequential for pools, such as addresses MAC, WWN, IP and UUID

  The procedure I would use:

  -Create the update model

  -remove the link 1. Initial model EP

  -delete this 1. SP (this helps to release all the values in the pool)

  -create new MS to model update (it will inherit above pool values)

  -Repeat for all AOCS

  I did this several times without problem (for example, no need to change the zoning of FC). Of course it is disruptive, by blade and SP.

  Don't know if this unbind / bind procedure works without reserves.

  See you soon

• Script to change the BIOS VMX. UUID value?

  Due to how transfer us models of VM to stand-alone ESXi 4.1 guests before their junction to vCenter, the UUID for the models come out the same. We use Veeam Backup to restore the templates, so they can be compressed enough to fit on a DVD.

  I'm looking for a little PowerShell script that can define a custom BIOS. Value of UUID for a VM named on ESXi 4.1. 1002403 KB VMware has a Pearl script that allows you to do this, but we are a store of PowerShell and would make it easier for us to customize in the future. Ideally, the script would generate a UUID Pseudo-aleatoires without user intervention. For example, to set the last six digits to use the current month, day, and minute (MMDDMM, for example 100111).

  vCenter will create of course unique UUID for our production of VMs, so it's only to manage the initial models, that we download to standalone servers in "factory".

  Ideas?

  Try something like this

  $vmName = 
  $newUuid = 
  
  $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec
  $spec.uuid = $newUuid
  $vm = Get-VM -Name $vmName
  $vm.Extensiondata.ReconfigVM_Task($spec)
  

  Note that the call to the method it is more simple forms, not waiting for the completion of the task, no error checking.

• Bootcamp (Win10) has not started after you changed the partition and updated at El Cap.

  I have a MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inches, end of 2013), 2 GHz Intel Core i7 with 8 GB of Ram.

  I had 2 system installed, Win 10 + Yosemite from the windows of beginning and the use of most of the time.

  Yesterday, I ran out of disk space and passed the partition in OS X with disk utility.

  While I changed the partition and I also upgraded to the El Cap.

  After all, I can't start by winning 10 more, although I could see my windows in the startup disk Control Panel.

  I checked some thread here and mess with command autour terminal, but nothing has worked for me.

• Change the mac address live vm

  Hello

  I installed a vcenter and migrated all the object from the old to the new, and I imported my dvswitch. After a problem due to the import, I migrated all the VM on dvswitch to a new, and I used code powercli to assign the new portgroup below:

  Function Set-dvSwitch {}

  Param ($vmName, $dvPG) # two parameters.

  $nic = "Network adapter 1" change in # this line if you want to change the NIC 2

  # Find the NETWORK card

  $vm = get - VM $vmName | Get-View

  foreach ($tempdev in $vm. Config.Hardware.Device) {}

  if($tempdev.) DeviceInfo.Label - eq $nic) {}

  $tgtdev = $tempdev

  }

  }

  # Find the dvSwitch & dvPortGroup

  $esx is get-view-Id $vm. Runtime.Host

  {foreach ($netMoRef to $esx.Network)}

  If {($netMoRef.Type-eq "DistributedVirtualPortGroup")}

  $net = get-view-Id $netMoRef

  if($net.) {Name - eq $dvPg)}

  $dvPGKey = $net. MoRef.Value

  $dvSwitchUuid = (get-View-Id $net.) Config.DistributedVirtualSwitch). Summary.Uuid

  }

  }

  }

  # Prepare Spec

  $spec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec

  $devChange = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec

  $devChange.operation = "Edit."

  $dev = new Object ("VMware.Vim" + $tgtdev. GetType(). Name)

  $dev.deviceInfo = new-Object VMware.Vim.Description

  $dev.deviceInfo.label = $tgtdev. DeviceInfo.Label

  $dev.deviceInfo.summary = $tgtdev. DeviceInfo.Summary

  $dev. Backup = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualEthernetCardDistributedVirtualPortBackingInfo

  $dev. Backing.Port = New-Object VMware.Vim.DistributedVirtualSwitchPortConnection

  $dev. Backing.Port.PortgroupKey = $dvPGKey

  $dev. Backing.Port.SwitchUuid = $dvSwitchUuid

  $dev. Key = $tgtdev. Key

  $devChange.Device = $dev

  $spec.deviceChange = $devChange

  $taskMoRef = $vm. ReconfigVM_Task ($spec)

  }

  It does the job, but he has changed all the MAC of my virtual machine. Currently, I have around 400VM with a MAC OS and another MAC on the side of vmware.

  The code above has changed vm MAC I would configure the old MAC on the vm side to avoid reboot all my VM.

  If anyone knows how to do this, it will save me.

  Thank you

  It should work, tested several times without problem (if your VM 1 nic, you need to identify that one to change to another)

  $thisAdapter = get-NetworkAdapter - Vm Test123

  $thisAdapter.ExtensionData.AddressType = "manual".

  $thisAdapter.ExtensionData.MacAddress = "00:40:16:96:0 d: 94.

• How to change the files in the / opt directory and keep after reboot?

  I understood how to change, but the changes disappear after immediate restart.  I read cela another post on the use of the autobackup.sh script, but it was for "/ etc" and not "/ opt" directory.  The full path is/opt/cisco/v152/nexus/vem-v152/shell and the file is vssnet-functions.

  I don't know how to solve the problem of having the same UUID of BIOS on several machines, in this case.

  But to use different IDS, you can try to add something like the 1000v

  vemset map [new uuid] uuid

  for the ESXi local startup script. See this article:

• Can I Change the number of physical training of my VM?

  I created a computer virtual to a physical disk, which is actually a mounted disk image file.  Here's my VMDK file:

  # Disk DescriptorFile

  Encoding = "windows-1252".
  CID = fffffffe
  parentCID = ffffffff
  isNativeSnapshot = 'no '.

  ddb.geometry.biosCylinders = "9767850".
  ddb.geometry.biosHeads = "32".
  ddb.geometry.biosSectors = '2 '.
  ddb.adapterType = "free".

  I took a snapshot of the virtual machine and, as expected, VMware has created about 150 segments of the snapshot file.  It is correct, as the virtual machine works very well.  However, when later I returned to my VM, I find that when I go back the target disk, it's PhysicalDrive8, which for lack of place my VM.  Change the base vmdk for PhysicalDrive8 does not work, but maybe I have to change something in each snapshot.  I envisage edition 150 files, but maybe I could write a script or use a tool to do it automatically. As a solution, I could move up or dismantle other disks so that Windows makes my original PhysicalDrive7disk and maybe it's the way to go, but I thought I'd ask.  Thank you!

  Hi Jimmy
  I'm surprised it doesn't - I make these changes quite often.
  The snapshots should be no reference to the physical drive.

  Yust make sure you don't have a virtual machine that open in my computer while you change the vmdk

• How do change the "display name" via PowerCLI order?

  Hi, guys.

  I have a question:

  VCenter-> Home-> inventory-> hosts and Clusters, I select an ESX host and -> configuration-> storage card, we can see several LUN storage.

  

  We usually right click on "name" to change the name to correspond with what we see in stroage side.

  file:///E:/1.jpg

  now, we present 90 LUNS for this ESX cluster.

  I wonder if there is a command that we can change the name of the device?

  I tried get-ScsiLun... and I can get the HLU, but there is no 'name' in the outpur...

  could you help please point the right command?

  Thanks in advance!

  You're almost there, but this method requires 2 parameters.

  Something like that

  $esxName = "vh0034msg01.active.tan" $esx = Get-VMHost $esxName $storSys = Get-View $esx.ExtensionData.ConfigManager.StorageSystem
  Get-ScsiLun -VMHost $esxName -LUNType disk -CanonicalName "naa.6006016061902e0062f2319d68e5e111" | %{
    $storSys.UpdateScsiLunDisplayName($_.ExtensionData.Uuid, $_.DisplayName + " test")
  }
  

• IS the UUID and device ID is the same?

  Dear team,

  Ask you to help me with the following queries?

  Q1:-UUID and device Id is the same?

  Q2:-peripheral Id comes from storage array to a LUN?

  Q3:-is the UUID provided by an ESX Server, then this ESX Server to identify this LUN?

  Q4 :-UUID is also called or refers signature ESX?

  Concerning

  Mr. VMware.

  Hello

  in general, the signature should not change in a scenario you desrcibed.

  The ESX host allows you to create a data store VMFS on this LUN collects information provided by the table.

  This information will be used to generate a signature (the process itself is still not published by VMware).

  The signature itself is stored in the VMFS data store and is always used when the Renumeriser SCSI operations.

  Whenever an ESX Server perform a reboot or rescan operation, the following procedure will be used (high level).

  The ESX Server will

  • analyze the SCSI bus and collects information for SCSI on any device seen
  • Search for an existing partition table and the types of known partitions
  • for each VMFS data store found it will read the signature
  • checks if the signature matches with SCSI information
    • matches, continue to accumulate the VMFS datastore
    • does not, this VMFS datastore is not mounted automatically because it is identified as an "instant" feature

  So you could access easily other ESX servers on this device when each ESX Server does not see the device with the same SCSI information.

  As a best practice, each server ESX shoud see such device shared with the same LUN ID.

  The modern paintings are capable of presenting storage devices with different LUN ID in an initiator (HBA) basis.

  Another thing to keep in mind that ports in frontend used table use the same Port SCSI/flag settings, but these indicators may differ between vendors.

  If these two basic requirements are met, you will be able to share the easy storage device between multiple ESX servers.

  Kind regards

  Ralf

• Failure to obtain the UUID

  It worked until recently and I do believe that something has changed.  Now, nothing is back for the UUID.  Thank you.

  $report = @)
  {foreach ($vm in Get - VM)
  $guest = get-VMGuest - VM $vm
  $row = "" | Select UUID, VMName

  $row. UUID = $vm. ExtensionData.config.uuid

  $row. VMName = $vm. Name

  $report += $row
  }
  $report | Export-Csv "$filename1" - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture

  This old enough PowerCLI version, you might consider upgrading to 5.0.1

  Since you're apparently using the $guest variable later in the script, the "BOLD" line must stay.

• Considerations when changing the vCenter Server Unique ID?

  We have a minor problem with MAC address collisions, and to fix it, I want to change the ID of vCenter Server Unique from our "view" vCenter Server.

  (see KB1024025)

  However, I fear that there may be some side effects, of which I am unaware, and decided this time I would like to better ask before doing something stupid.

  Is it safe to change the Unique ID of a vCenter Server used by VMware View?

  Do I have to wait for any other effect that newly generated in another range MAC addresses?

  I have crossed a reinstall of my machine to vCenter using my existing db, but do not go back and change the ID Unique in what it was previously, and it caused no ill effects.  Having said that, for consistency, I made them the same thing.  I know that the ID to be used only for MAC and UUID, so there should be no problem.

• Change the HARD disk in VMWare ESXi 3 Server

  Hi all

  I'm new in the Comunnity. I have the following problem:

  I have a Dell PowerEdge 2950 III with six 7.2 K rpm HDs in RAID 5 running VMWare ESX 3i in an internal USB unit. In this server, I have a virtual machine running a mail server. I have problems of performance of disks in servers and we will change the discs on 15 K RPM drive and change the RAID 10 RAID level. I activated the SSH in VMWare ESXi and my question is: is it possible to copy the virtual machine using Winscp or other method forders, rebuilt my RAID, and then copy these files to VMWare again?

  I'would want to know your suggestions on this matter.

  Thank you very much and best regards,

  Amedina

  You may need to use "add to inventory" since the UUID will be different on the store of data on disks. If we then open the data store with and navigate to the virtual machine. Right click and Add. You answer that you move them.
