• Clone from a free template network

  Hello

  I want to create a new workflow that perform the following tasks:

  1 clone from a model (no network card is connected to the model)

  2, add a new network adapter to the virtual machine

  3. run sysprep (config network card, add to the domain etc.)

  I find the workflow dealing with cloning, but each of them begins with information on the network adapter for the model.

  For this purpose, when I try to use these workflow, I get the message: Fault.NicSettingMismatch.Summary

  Y at - it of the other workflow that I use to accomplish my task?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Indeed, the library workflow expect the model to have at least a network card configured.

  You can change the template? (which might be the easiest way to go :-))

  You can also:

  Create a new workflow that clones just the virtual machine, but do not customization (there could be some in the library), I hope, it works without network card on the template.

  To add the network use onyx to understand what logic of javascript is needed (not sure if there is a "workflow" that in the library)

  Check the workflow (s) 'Custom VM' in the library for parts of sysprep (at this time, that the created virtual machine must have a network)

  Kind regards

• 11i: can you clone from 64-bit to 32-bit?

  Want to go to x 86-64 to x 86. Someone at - it a footnote reference Metalink to get there? I see the note said clone you can clone from 32 bit to 64 bit, but no mention of 64-bit to 32-bit.
  
  If can not clone, migration would be the plan instead?
  
  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Please mention the version of the application, the database version and the operating system.

  Want to go to x 86-64 to x 86.

  No particular reason?

  Someone at - it a footnote reference Metalink to get there? I see the note said clone you can clone from 32 bit to 64 bit, but no mention of 64-bit to 32-bit.

  I do not think that Clone quick support 64 bit to 32 bit - connect you cloning an SR to confirm this with the support of the Oracle.

  If can not clone, migration would be the plan instead?

  See (Note: 62290.1 - change between the sizes of 32-bit and 64-bit).

• Clone a model on multiple data centers

  So here's the scenario:

  In my vcenter, there are two data centers. In a Datacenter (B), that we have our systems development and the other data center (A) are our production environments. Must often make a clone of a (B) VM and clone a VM (A) through. We have a process of the method we use to move our VMs. I'm powerCLI throughout the process in order to save on some manual cloning time. This is our process:

  1 clone a VM (B) direct and take from the Datacenter (B) under the "DEV" folder, under this is a subfolder 'AppServer' where the virtual machine "DevAPP" exists and it a clone of this subfolder in another subfolder in 'AppServer' also called ' ~ DEV (B) to (a) staging of Clone.

  2. once the clone "Date of DevApp_today" is realized in the "~ DEV (B) to (a) staging of Clone" remove us the NIC 1 and then convert it to a template.

  3. once it is converted to a template with the name 'Date of DevApp_today' clone us over the back (B) data center "~ DEV (B) to a Clone (A) Organization" (A) record data center "(B) to (a) staging of Clone.

  4. once the 'Date of DevApp_today' model in the data center (A) convert us into a virtual machine and and add the NIC, assign VLAN appropriate and then activate connected to power on.

  5. once the network card on the virtual computer we then convert back to a model and deploy him 11 VMs with the customization files to configure the virtual machine.

  Most of the time steps 1 and 2 I can script fairly easily, and the 4 and 5, my biggest problem is step 3. What I've tried is by using the New-model command.

  Example: New-model -model 'Date of DevApp_today' -location a Datacenter in English (common name) VMHost - $HostA (a host in A data center) -data store $Data (storage in A data center) DiskStorageFormat - Thin -RunAsync-confirm: $false

  It works to get the center of data (B) (A) data center model, but he falls into the root of the data center (A). I know it's because in - place I put 'A' there, but I do not know in any case to decompose from there to drill down to the data center (A) subfolders. If I put the subfolder "(A) (B) (a) staging of Clone" it's all just a stink about how I already have a template of this name and it must be cloned in the same data center. Meanwhile once it reaches the root of (A) I have just run a Move inventory on the template to move to "(B) to (a) Clone staged."

  I have necessarily need a whole script created for me, I just want to know how to move the model obtained in (B) (a) without him having to be abandoned in the root (A), move inventory

• Closure of the Clones of models

  I use a Template and VI server to create several "clones" that allows me to perform several tasks in parallel.  The Clones are written as a stand-alone VI, with a stop button on the control panel until I push by program to stop the Clone.  If I create, for example, three clones, I'll get three before Clone 1 Clone 2 panels and 3 clone.

  When I go to close the project, I wonder if I want to save the created Clones.  The answer, of course, is always 'no '.  Is there a way to 'close' programmatically these Clones without saving them so I asked this question?  I'm happy to have the front panels are not visible - indeed, my routine to start the Clone has an option "Hide the front panel" and my routine to stop the Clone has an option "Close cover" - If either is set, the Clone of the front panel are not visible when the program terminates.  However, even in this case, the fence project asks me to save all the Clones.

  Another issue that could be related to "Unregistered Clones" - when the program and the Clones are stopped and I try to fill in the project, I get a message saying "the proposed closure will stop some current screws execution".  However, to the best of my knowledge, there is no screws running is there something that I am missing?  'Do something' to the farm/stop all that generated this message?

  I guess that there are the "arguments" (or maybe even 'evidence') on the best way to spawn asynchronous clones - using a model of VI (like me) and start to help run a VI, making the reentrant VI and it start by running a VI or using the asynchronous call start.  I don't know the relative merits of these different methods, but conceptually (think in terms of 'prove accuracy', explaining to others, maintenance, etc.), model VI method seems not 'wrong' to me.  In any case, it's the premise of my question.

  I have all the clones close to "" asking them to stop.  I have two chances to close their facades - I can choose to run them without having to open the front panel, or can choose to close the front before stopping them.  If I make one (or both) of these, I received both a message saying, I couldn't close the project without stopping a VI running (but there was no 'obviously' running VI) and asking me to save all the clones.

  The correct answer to my question was to be sure that the references used to open and close the clones has been closed, something that I had forgotten to do (I discovered and corrected this omission today).  It seems the answer to my question.

• Customization of the comments for the virtual machines deployed from model has stopped working

  Hi all

  (Environment: vCenter and ESXi 10 5.1 hosts running Build #3070626)

  We have a model 2012R2 and a file specification of customization that allows us to deploy the VMs 2012R2 server. It worked well for a while. After the Christmas break, it seems more work correctly and we havn't knowingly changed anything to cause this. We have fixed our ESXi hosts Build #3070626 October 6, but have deployed VMs of model since, without problem.

  We have all staged for the VM in advance (IE AD entry of objects and DNS). And then powered the deployed virtual computer, sysprep runs, but does not seem to apply settings in the customization file (IE rename the virtual computer, set the Admin password, join the domain etc.). If feed us the cycle of the VM, sysprep is running again, but even once, does nothing.

  I have attached the contents of my file guestcust.log of a computer deployed virtual (see below), but I do not see the clues about the problem. I thought initially the error on the first line was important, until I've found it is also present on the virtual machines that have been successfully deployed from this template in the past, so it's maybe a Kipper.

  Does anyone have advice for troubleshooting this?

  TIA

• deploy from model with the custom form does not not - NIC becomes disconnected

  [We're using vcenter 5.1 update 2]

  I have created a new model for 2012 Server R2 and I created a specification tailored to go with it. I went to test the deployment of the other day and it seemed that the personalised has not quite finished. He had put the local administrator password and baptized, but he does not join the domain. I finally understood that after the deployment, the NETWORK adapter is not connected despite having me 'connect to light' checked in the model. We are using the VMXNET 3 card.

  I've been messing around with the template for the past 2 days and I am stuck as to why it does not work. I tried the following...

  -checked the windows firewall is disabled (3 options) (Re: ESXi 5 VM / Server 2008 R2 loses the network connection after reboot)

  -removed NIC; cleaned up the registry to the HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\; restarted; readded NIC (it was to eliminate any ghost NICs) (http://vnetwise.wordpress.com/2012/06/09/vmware-template-deploymentspart-1-trying-to-modify/)

  -Remove vmware tools and reinstall. (http://vnetwise.wordpress.com/2012/06/09/vmware-template-deploymentspart-1-trying-to-modify/)

  -card network in the operating system, unchecked "allow the computer to turn off to save energy" (Re: ESXi 5 VM / Server 2008 R2 loses the network connection after reboot)

  -checked that my new 2012R2 model uses the same host cluster and storage as my 2012 model that works. Also on the same port group distributed. (Essentially, all parameters of vcenter are identical between the two models)

  -also tried disabling the NETWORK card in the model (Windows Server 2012 comments customization)

  I have re-deployed the same server about 10 times and each time after deployment, you can see restart and try starting the customization but it crashes. If I manually turn the NIC on it is completed successfully. The problem is that I don't want to have to do that each time I deploy a server. Why is it disable the NIC and unchecking my option to connect to turn on and how to fix this?

  6.23.2014

  Based on tests (as detailed below):

  5.1 U2 - when patterns of deployment Server R2 2012 using a custom form, the NIC is not on after the deployment despite having ' connect at power on "checked.

  * We use VMXNET 3 and we use vDS

  
  

  Any help is very appreciated!

  Problem solved: you need to update the hardware VM version from 8 to 9 on the template (also be sure to check "running on check and put vmtools")

  When you create a new virtual machine from scratch in 5.1 U2, he apparently uses VM Hardware version 8 instead of the latest v9. Once I upgraded it, made sure to check the box to have check and tools upgrade vm market, deploying with customization works and the NETWORK adapter is enabled when lit!

• Deploy from model does not not after upgrading vSphere 5.5

  Hello, we have recently upgraded to vSphere 5.5.  We have deployed a new vCenter server as part of the upgrade and after you add the models again in the inventory on the new vCenter server, I'm not able to deploy a virtual model computer.  Get the "unable to complete copy of /vmfs/volumes/.../template.vmdk file" when it gets to step 'copy of Virtual Machine files.

  I checked that there are no locks on the vmdk

  I converted the model of a machine virtual, deleted (not deleted) the disc has added a new drive (from existing), saved, powered by the virtual machine, power and he converted.  Still doesn't work do not with the same error message.  Has anyone other that saw issue before or have a glimpse into what could be the cause?

  The question was NetApp VAAI Plugin for NFS.  Installed 1.0.21 that solved the problem.

• Clone a model in a specific folder on the data, with powercli store?

  I'm deploying approximately 135 VM from an unique model using powercli from a CSV file.

  Each line in the CSV file has a connection, course section instructor

  For example...

  Login Section instructor

  123456 5555 Foo EE123

  Here is the script

  SE connect-VIServer-Server 10.0.0.60 - Credential (Get-Credential)
  $Users = import-Csv c:\CSV\Data.csv
  {foreach ($User in $Users)
  $Login = $User.Login
  $Course = $User.Course
  $Section = $User.Section
  $Instructor = $User.Instructor
  $ResPool = $User.Section + "" + $User.Instructor
  New-VM - VMHost 10.0.0.10 - name $Login - ResourcePool "$ResPool" - model 'VM-model' - data store "datastore1".
  write "$Login Created" | Out-file "log.txt" - append
  }
  Disconnect-VIServer-Server 10.0.0.60 - confirm: $false

  I'm doing the data store a little cleaner when I deploy these machines and put all the machines in a folder located in the data store, for example. datastore1\spring2013\EE123\ (in reality would have $Course instead of EE123)

  Can someone help me with this.

  
  Thanks in advance

  Yes, you can use the ResourcePool parameter on the New - VM cmdlet to do this.

  But since you have resourcepools with the same name in the tree, you must be sure to only select the right pair.

  You use the location setting to indicate which branch of the tree you want.

  For example:

  $rpRoot = get-ResourcePoo-name 'Sprint 2013"

  $rpCourse = get-ResourcePoo-name 'Foo 5555"- location $rpRoot

  $rpServers = get-ResourcePoo-name "servers" - location $rpCourse

  $rpStudents = get-ResourcePoo-name 'students' - location $rpCourse

  New-VM-name--ResourcePool $rpStudents

  You can create this logic in a loop and use the name of a CSV file example

• Cloning of VM vs deploy from model

  I'm trying to understand if there is a good reason to convert the VMs of models and their deployment rather than clone.

  The option of customization of comments is available both to deploy templates or cloning of virtual machines. It seems that this is the option which requires SysPrep to run and create a new SSID.

  That being the case, is the only reason why I can think about converting a virtual computer model to freeze so that no one can run it by accident and make changes. Is this true?

  Thank you.

  Yes you are right that, in regard to the authorization, you can set some users to have the ability to deploy models only...

• Need a solution to customize virtual machines deployed from models

  Here's the problem:

  When I deploy virtual machines from a template, the guest of the new virtual machine operating system takes the same size of hard drive than the model between what was created.  It is very fast to increase the size of the virtual hard disk after deployment.  But the size of the partition in the guest operating system is unchangeable.  This means that, for each virtual machine, I have to start the virtual machine and either extend the guest operating system by using an operating system disk management tool or a third-party for the partition management application.

  It takes a lot of time to do during the deployment of a large number of virtual machines.  Another option is to create a template for each size of hard drive - but the problem with this is that all of these models for each operating system must be maintained, that takes a lot of time.

  Does anyone have ideas for another or better solutions?  For example, is there such a thing as a tool that integrates with VMware to enable not only the size of the virtual hard disk, but also the size of the partition of the guest operating system to customize when you create a virtual model of computer?

  Any contribution is appreciated-

  Thank you

  It resizes the disk partition inside the virtual machine to the guest OS uses the complete virtual disk capacity.

• Lose a provisioning when moving from model space to the workspace configuration

  Hi all -

  I use LM 4.0.1 with ESX 4.0.  We have a huge amoutn of machines in our test environment, so we aret area using thin provisioned disks if ever possible, my question is this:

  When I create the model of the virtual machine, it create hard drive configured as thin.  I am able to update the machine, install the VMware tool and publish it.  When I create a new configuration and add this model, it seems to blow the drive at full capacity.  I tried the two linked clone and full options available by machine when you create a configuration, but he always blows my virtual disk of 60 GB at full size on the image into the workspace.

  Am I missing a step very important, or is - not pssoible images thin provisioned used in the way I talk.  We cannot support our image storage needs be supplied thickness, so I'm really looking for a solution to this problem.  Thank you.

  ~ Brian block

  If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'useful '. Thank you.

  There are full clone and restrictions for the use of thin disks, see the release notes for known issues http://www.vmware.com/support/labmanager40/doc/releasenotes_labmanager401.html#thindiskissues ... so a full clone will convert indeed a "thin" disc in a disc 'thick' to the clone target.

  Linked clones have discs delta below. As written record increase, increase the changes between the basic disk and the linked clone and these changes are what go in delta drive more. LM can show the linked as 'thicker', disk clone since the delta disc is no longer considered 'thin '. However, they start small, about 16MB. If you say that you get a full 60 GB disk when you bind the clone, something is wrong since LM should never do that. Really check if shows the linked clone disk size 60 GB on the data store?

• How to automatically remove comments from model in the page created from template?

  Hi all

  I would like to eliminate generated Dreameaver of comments in published pages.

  Beast, perhaps, but they are really a loss (of space, bandwidth, etc.).

  Does anyone know if there is a way to automatically eliminated in the pages that are generated from a model?

  For example, on this page:

  http://Libri-belli-Ma-anche-romanzi-Brutti.it/Daria-Bignardi-Acustica-Perfetta.html

  a comments from the original model.

  <h1><!-InstanceBeginEditable name = "Autore + Titolo"->Daria Bignardi: craftmanship the Acustica<! - InstanceEndEditable - >< /h1 >

  Someone at - it a suggestion on how they can be quickly withdrawn before publication on the server?

  Thanks all!

  Riccardo

  No, can't be done.  Markup DWT tells the program that it is a model.  FrontPage/Expression Web also has the TPL files and uses a similar markup for its models.  Only way to get rid of it is to move to a language server as PHP or CMS solution that includes uses side.
