• Let me know scenarios when different virtual machines with the same UUID are created in VMware Hypervisors?

  Let me know scenarios when different virtual machines with the same UUID created in VMware Hypervisors, aside from editing the .vmx file?

  The only other way I've seen is when you manually copy the virtual machine to another location on the data store (or another data store) and then when turn on/off the virtual machine, select I moved, rather that I copied it (the default option).  This will keep the same UUID.

• How can I get the version of VMware to virtual machines with powercli officer?

  How can I get the version of VMware View Agent running on a virtual machine with powercli or view Powercli?

  As much as I know there is no cmdlet PowerCLI for this, but you can use the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet and interrogate the Win32_Product class.

  By running the following. You can add a Where clause to return only the Agent of the view

• Run a virtual machine with a graphical interface on a host without GUI

  Hallo

  I want to install a simple Windows 7 for some tasks bit where I need Windows on my server Ubuntu 14.04. This server has no GUI (no X) and should have any.

  Already, I've installed the virtual Windows machine on my workstation to 12, so I would just copy the vmdk on my linux server and run it, maybe put something in the vmx file.

  But I do not know is that it's all means possible.

  Is it?

  Is there any player or any application for ubuntu VMware when there is no X system (on ubuntu), where I can run virtual machines with GUI inside?

  Maybe another virtualization tool, vmware not?

  I think that this exact question already somewhere, but I haven't found much question where comments lacking a GUI, but not the host.

  I need a guest-gui on a host without gui (where I have only the terminal).

  So maybe it's not possible at all, so please tell me a 'no', so I won't expect more

  Thank you to

  Frank

  EDIT: oh, this seems to be another question unanswered it is too difficult or too stupid?

  Hi Frank,.

  Now that would be stupid, having a text Installer, and then not allow the virtual machine to run. I think it should work, but you must pass the nogui option.

  Vmrun help:

  beginning

  (Supported only on teams

  Workstation.)

  Starts a virtual machine (.vmx file) or team (file .vmtm).

  The default graphical user interface option starts the machine in an interactive way,

  What is necessary to display a user interface of VMware.

  Nogui option suppresses the user interface,

  including start-up, to allow dialog box not interactive

  writing scripts.

  [gui | nogui]

  refer to the manual of vmrun: VIX API Documentation

  Edit: hmm... Now, I see that you have already tried the nogui option. You might be able to install the package libxinerama, but he could hang out in a lot of dependencies.

  FWIW, vSphere is pretty much what you describe a system not GUI to run GUI invited, so it shouldn't be a problem at all.

  Unfortunately, I don't have a host linux without X installed handy here, so can't test here without the implementation of a server without head myself.

  You can also try to run the client via the command vmware:

• Cannot create a virtual machine with a vmdk file copied from another location, please find the attached error

  This error message generally if the hard files have been copied hosted as VMware Workstation product, which uses a format of sparse file that is not supported on an ESXi host. Instead of the hard copy, you can use VMware Converter, or - if you prefer - you can convert the hard using vmware-vdiskmanager (before transfer) or vmkfstools (after downloading). I deal to use vmkfstools you will need to load the mutliextent module (see for example "Clone or migration operations involving virtual discs non-VMFS on ESXi fail with an error" vSphere 5.1 Release Notes)

• Create a virtual machine with Maximum carrots ESXi has?

  I someone told me that VMware does not support to create a virtual machine with more than 50% of the available cores has your host. For example, I have an ESXi host with 2 CPU each with 8 cores. I have therefore 16 cores on my host. I wouldn't be able to create a virtual machine with 8 cores to be supported. Even if I am able to create a virtual machine with 16 cores? Is this person crazy me

  This is completely untrue, there is no such limitation. If your license allows, you can use vCPUs as much as your physical host has available threads and as the VM virtual hardware version allows.

• Using filters and Get - view to find virtual machines with a specific guest operating system.

  I have the following code snippet to find all virtual machines with the updated OS to ' Red Hat Enterprise Linux * "prompt. It does not work. If the filter is left out, I find myself with all virtual machines.

  The immediate question is the specs for the game ' Red Hat Enterprise Linux. " Originally from the "Performance Difference between GET - VM and GET-VIEW")

  The biggest problem for me is to understand for Get-View filter. I was capable of a bit of insight to gleen from the URL below, but I think what Miss me is the reference (Microsoft) for what is happening to the right of the equal sign.

• Create the virtual machine with the ISO mounted CDROM

  Community of hell!

  Working on the vmcreate.pl script to add the creation of CD-ROM with iso data store, I got stuck on the error

  ' Invalid device configuration: ' VirtualSCSIControllerOption.numSCSICdroms '.

  I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, or this option but may not understand how to deliver this.

  I created a cdrom as follows (below test I create any CDROM, no iso file to reduce the number of layers):

  my $ BPPRR m_backing_info = VirtualCdromRemotePassthroughBackingInfo->new)

  deviceName = > ' '.

  exclusive = > 0,

  );

  my $description = description->new(label = > 'CDROM', summary = > 'cdddrom');

  my $connectable = VirtualDeviceConnectInfo->new(allowGuestControl = > 1,)

  connected = > 0,

  startConnected = > 1,

  ( State = > inmates ' / ' );

  my $ BPPRR m = VirtualCdrom->new(backup = > $BPPRRm_backing_info,

  connectable = > $connectable,

  controllerKey = > 0,

  deviceInfo = > $description,

  key => 1,

  ( unitNumber = > 1 );

  VirtualDeviceConfigSpec->new(device = > $BPPRRm,

  operation = > VirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation->new()'add'));

  Did anyone have working example to create the virtual machine with CDRom?

  If someone will find this useful I followed this route Re: vmreconfig.pl add the device CD/DVD fails if the virtual machine created with vmcreate.pl

• Help to get a list of virtual machines with switch network and name

  I'm trying to get a simple list of virtual machines on a single host and include their name and networkname.

  When I run this Get - vm | where {$_.} $host.name - eq "ESX.local"}, I get the virtual machines with their name.  When I run this Get-networkadapter - vm Get - vm | where {$_.} $host.name - eq "ESX.local"} I download news network with the name of the network, which is what im after. "  I want to combine these 2 commands and get vm name and network name in a csv.  The network name is the Group of ports, the VM is affected change settings for example, it could be vlan10 or what you named your group of ports in the switch DV.  I've attached a screenshot of the orders successfully.

  Hello, brisketx-

  You could do a little more efficiently by getting first the VMHost (s) that are of interest, then get their virtual machines and then using a computed property for the names of network for virtual machines.  As:

  Get-VMHost esx.local | Get-VM |    Select-Object Name, @{n="NetworkName"; e={(Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $_ | %{$_.NetworkName}) -join ","}}
  

  You can then, of course, lead to Export-Csv to write the data to a CSV file.  How does do for you?

• Impossible to deploy the virtual machine with customization.

  Hi all

  I have a model Winodws 2008 R2 Std and Ent.  I use to deploy virtual machines with the model using the Customization Wizard.  All of a sudden since 2 days I can't provision VMS with the wizard of customiation.  Earlier, there seems to be no problem with the customization, but when I turn on the virtual machine, I see errors, attached is the screen shot for your reference.

  After the error 2 the vm keeps restarting without end time.

  I don't know what is the cause.  Please help me with the problem.  Let me know if you need additional information.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey there,

  Have you tried to get the Microsoft Windows product key? And maybe the password in the profile customization.

  If this does not work, try using a new profile customization.

  Let us know how things work!

  See you soon,.

• Average throughput of the network to a virtual machine with PowerCLI

  I would get average network throughput for a virtual machine with PowerCLI including all e-cards, the virtual machine has for the last week (not including NFS or storage of traffic-related).

  How best should add this report:

  Get - vm myvm | Select name, numcpu

  Thank you!

  Try like this

  Get-VM | Select Name, @{N="Avg Network Throughput MBPs";E={    [math]::Round((Get-Stat -Entity $_ -Start (Get-Date).AddDays(-7) -Stat "net.throughput.usage.average" |    where {$_.Instance -eq ""} |    Measure-Object -Property Value -Average | Select -ExpandProperty Average)/1KB,2)}}
  

  The script takes the aggregate value for all NICs for (the one where the Instance is an empty string).

  Then we take the average and converts the Kbps, Mbps.

• URGENT! After installing 6 Fusion and creation of new virtual machine with Windows 7, I get a message "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit". WHAT SHOULD DO?

  After purchase, installation and activation Fusion 6 with the license key, I had a library of VMS showing 2 Boot Camp partitions. It's strange that I only have 1.
  I tried to activate them but received a message that it is out of date in 2 cases. (see annex 1)

  I started a new virtual machine with a Windows 7 installation disc directly on my HD. I have provided a way to do this and followed the instructions of Fusion to the screen.

  Apparently, everything went well and after several restarts, the installation appears to be over (see annex 2) I tried to open and run the installed Windows 7. I had however a window with the following message:

  "Pending the unit.

  "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit. Please wait until the unit starts automatically, or interact with the virtual machine below. ' (see annex 3)

  Here Windows 7 seems to start but after a while with the home screen and of the Øresund finishing this window closed and open a new window called library Virtual Machine on the left showing the partitions of Bootcamp and the Virtual Machine Windows 7 x 64 and in the middle gray a representation of what is supposed to be the Windows 7 desktop. (see Exhibit 4). When I opened the settings button a window with different setting options pops up. This mark means to me that Windows is installed but the final opening isn't the case

  When you quit Vmware Fusion indeed Windows seems to be close (see part 5)

  What is going on? What has gone wrong? What should I do? I don't know how to solve the problem.

  I should f.i. remove the virtual machine from Windows 7 and is free automatically made partition on my HD as the reboot with the Windows installation disc? or y at - it another way to enter the UNIT?

  Help, please!

  Thanks in advance

  Your virtual machine is running. It is in the unit - which each windows gets its own window of Mac - and you have no application Windows running, there is no visible windows. You can start a Windows application in the start of Fusion menu in the menu bar at the top right, or turn on the Windows task bar on the view menu and start applications from there. Or use the view menu to switch to the Single mode or full-screen, which puts all of your Windows desktop in a window separate from Mac.

  You do not have two partitions to Boot Camp on your Mac, you have two virtual machines named "Boot Camp partition".

  The message about it being unable to enter the unit arrives while the merger is pending for the tools begin to run, because the tool is necessary for the unit.
