• Script to collect some statistics on hosts and virtual machines

  I'm trying to accomplish to get the following statistics, put into a script.

  When I run this script, it must be run by "vcenter" and result the following items.

  The cluster name / number of hosts / number of computers models and virtual / assigned the total memory of all the virtual machines on the cluster (not what is actually to be in use)

  Thus, for example, in the XYZ group with 4 guests, if I have 20 MV that I have 4 GB of RAM for each virtual machine, the output should be 80 GB

  XYZ 4 20 80 GB

  I suspect that you forgot the Select at the end in order to recover the amount.

  @{N = 'CPU'; E = {}

  Notice-EEG-Id (Get-View-Id $_.) ExtensionData.Host - VM property | %{$_. VM}) - property 'Config.Hardware.NumCPU ' |

  %{$_. Config.Hardware.NumCPU} | Measure-object-sum |  Select - ExpandProperty sum}},

• Difference between the hosts and virtual machines

  Happy new year!

  I guess that's a stupid question, but I don't know the answer to it.

  I created pools from VM. Some jobs in the pool are hosts and some virtual machines. What is the difference between the hosts and virtual machines. I thought I could only create virtual machines, but I guess I could create hosts as well. -What happened?

  Thanks for your help.

  where does say desktops are hosts?  A host is usually referring to an ESXi server.  A virtual machine is just the guest OS running on the host computer.  A pool is a group of VMs that can extend over several hosts.

• ESXi 4 hosts and virtual machines with domains and different IP addresses

  Hello, I hope someone can shed some light on this problem.

  I have an ESXi host.  It is in the 'AREA A' and has an IP address like 204.75.225.6.

  Is it possible to use the tool VMware P2V Converter some servers that are located in one field other than ESXi host and have different IP addresses?

  Example: VM candidate: in "AREA B" with IP address 192.168.1.56.

  Both domains trust each other.

  Y at - it a tip to configure the network settings on the host to allow that?

  I currently have 2 vSwitches.  One for the management network and the other is for the traffic of the virtual machine.

  Firewall?

• Possible to NFS share to the host and virtual machine?

  If I have a NAS with an NFS share present it to both my ESXi host and computer Windows 2003 virtual server at the same time?

  Yes, but you need client NFS on Windows or a storage with NFS and CIFS.

• Network down frequently on a virtual machine after the upgrade of computers host and vmware to win 10

  Dear all,

  A week ago, I upgraded both my two machines VMWare Win 7 to win 10, as well as the host operating system. also from 7 to 10.

  Now once every 1 or 2 days, one or both the two vmwares aura an esclamation mark on the network status icon in the lower right corner and West no connection.

  The host operating system is NOT having any problems with the network.

  The solution is to disable and reactive the adapter to virtual machines, or repair of running Network Diagnostics where she'll tell me that it s has reinstated the connection to the bridge. But obviously I´d prefer the VM´s to be on the internet 24/7 without my intervention.

  I have another computer on the same router on which I did the same thing, but with this I m not having these problems. A different and not connected equipment via the VPN running on the host OS, which is the case with the machine that s had questions.

  But even once, the host operating system is not having issues, the two VM´s aren´t always the two to have this problem, and this never happened when he was all Win 7.

  I ve disabled some nights windows defender analysis and TCP/IP V6, but neither helped.

  Want to see some of the information from the last network diagnostics / repair or some log file, or you already know what would be the solution to my problem?

  Thanks in advance!

  Best regards

  Well, I thought that a vm was having this problem a lot more often than the other, so I looked for error messages in windows journal, showing that the network problem - have to with DHCP btw - always spent 2 minutes after an event regarding slui.exe, not found on the other machine.

  What I also noticed was that the problematic vm had lost its activation of windows with the upgrade to win 10 (win 10 has limits to how much the same license can be run as virtual machines), is is not the case for the more successful one.

  Then I copied the good machine, which contains the same as the other, changed mac and uuid and now it s showing that enabled, no problem so far.

• go esxi hosts and virtual machines in one vCenter to another

  I built a new vCenter (Windows vCenter), I intend to move on ESXi hosts the old vCenter (Virtual appliance vCenter) to the new vCenter. I don't know if it's feasible, please notify my step is correct or not: 1) build a new vcenter 2) create a cluster with two esxi hosts first 3) Mount data (NetApp Filer Storage) to the new vCenter warehouses 4) add an empty host for the new vCenter VMs) 5 download then upload to the host in new vcenter

  Hi friend

  Its doable without any problem.

  Please follow the procedure below.

  1 build a new vCenter (your first step is correct)

  2 creating a cluster (because it is new vCenter there will not be any available host.) That is why cluster creation wizard will not get to add in the new cluster host). While initially empty cluster would be created.

  3. once the cluster is created, immediately do a right-click on the cluster and add your hosts one by one. Not necessary to cancel the registration and the VM. Virtual machines will automatically be added who were there on the data store available with all guests.

  Don't forget,

  1. we do not mount any store data in vCenter, we assemble the data store on the host.

  2. If you mount the new data store (which did not exist before), you can mount once the new hosts are added to the new cluster. (Your SAN admin help)

  3. If you want to move your virtual machines from data store before the newly added/mounted data store, please SVMotion these virtual machines (by right-clicking on the VM > migrate > data store > select the data store that is new)... Please follow the same procedure for all virtual machines.

  4. you don't need to add empty hosts to the new cluster, add just as soon as all guests without you register VMs. Later, you can migrate to other store of data according to the requirement. NO need to download or download the VM.

  5. Please make sure that your ESXi hosts will be compatible with the new vCenter. Old version of ESXi always compatible with the new version of vCenter. Just check if you have all valid licenses.

  Please let me know if you need any clarification

• Attempt vSwitch configuration change and now the ESXi host and virtual machines offline

  So I have no doubt, I have myself to blame for this one. I was trying to change my vSwitch from 100 Mbps to 1000 Mbps when an 'operation timed' error out jumps-to the top and my vCenter Server lost connection with my ESXi host. I tried to restart the host manually, but that did not help. The host is not the ping requests and all the virtual machines on that host are offline; None of them vMotion off to my other ESX Server.

  I tried to reconnect the host computer in vCenter, but it is obviously does not connect because it can't ping it. I logged the ESXi console and all the network settings appear to be correct. I'm used to connect to the ESX console where you can execute commands, but it's my first ESXi host, so I don't know what I can do.

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  -D.

  If you had your management port and VMs on different vSwitches / NIC leave on framework would eliminate a false positive. As in your case the management port reportedly follows the cable / about speed, but the virtual machine network would be intact (and I'm assuming that your storage space as well).  In this case the VMs system would have worked very well even if the management port did not work.

• Disconnect the Vcenter/Cluster host and addition of new implications of Vcenter.

  All,

  We had to rebuild our vcenter on a separate box, because the database on the old one is completely messed up.  Successfully, we have disconnected hosts stand alone and added to the new Vcenter inventory without problem.  We wanted to know if there are problems with HA/DRS power off and disconnect a host of vcenter which is currently in a cluster.  Then add it to the new vcenter to manage.

  Thank you!

  No problem.

  Simple disable HA, tie your host for the new Victoria Cross, and then reactivate the cluster functions.

• Management of VMs: Which one to use, "hosts and Clusters" or "models and virtual computers.

  Hi all

  As the subject says, when you manage virtual machines, which is better to use? Hosts and Clusters? Models and virtual computers?

  It's our facility:

  Previously we had only been using "Hosts and Clusters" manage all of our virtual machines. We organize objects of the individual within vApps and Resource Pools. We had also installation on these both parent objects permissions for who has access to what.

  Basically, we have about 12 members. Everyone has their own virtual machines that they use for training, etc. We manage centralized via AD with users and groups user access. We also have some users assigned to some hosts to maintain the level of things between the two hosts. Our license does not DRS, BTW.

  I just replaced our server vCenter in preparation for our 4.1 vSphere upgrade later this year, Yes, we are on vSphere 4.0 currently. So I went ahead and 'computers models and virtual"allowing to create user folders, gave users access and placed virtual machines of all users within these folders. (I heard recently that the use of the hosts and Clusters was semantically incorrect). Even if they have access to their folder, they cannot create a virtual machine because they cannot access a host. A computer file virtual and models can be assigned to a host?

  I didn't assign permissions to each user in order to add to each host, because I didn't want others to mess with other virtual machines. All users previously red access only, but sinc the virtual machines and templates folders are not assigned to any host, they can get in their folder to create and manage their virtual machines.

  Then, I go on this wrong all the models and virtual computers and do I just keep using our hosts and Clusters of installation above permissions groups?

  Any advice on the semantics in this would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Johnathan

  All,

  I solved my problems.

  Check book Scott Lowes ' Mastering VMware vSphere 4 "Chapter 9, he described the use of Resource Pools to the VM group under the view of the hosts & Clusters. Using the same names as the files under VMs & models and adding the same permissions, I was able to force every user to use their own folder under VMs & templates and only their Resource Pool under hosts & Clusters. So now the two views reflect the objects of each user and their access controls are correct.

  Items to remove this Lessines:

  Use Of Resource Pools under host & Clusters to manage the default host for users.

  Files under VMs & models allows you to manage virtual machines model announcement for each user (simple view).

  Thanks for the help,

• Script of PowerCLI to measure the number of host and its virtual machine in each cluster

  Hello

• vcenter feature will work properly if my virtual machine to vcenter fail?

  Hello

  1 if my vcenter server machine was stopped or failed and in this time if my esxi host does not HA will or not?

  2 - if a month my judgment of the vcenter server or not will work work vcenter features such as HA and drs and...?

  Best regards

  Yes, if vCenter descends from VMware HA master node will take care to restart virtual machines from the host failed to other hosts that are running.

  DRS will not work if the vCenter server is not available.

  If you keep your vCenter down for a month, then that certainly creates questions about virtual infrastructure management.

  See this URL for the list of features that works and that will not work if vCenter isn't available.

• Debian 5.0 host and Client, network problems

  I have a system Debian 5 (Lenny) as a host for VMware Server 2.0.1 with a configuration ethernet servile (bond0 with Robin balancing).

  This host is the ping requests etc. without problem by any computer in the network and vice versa. This host gets its IP address of a DHCP server and appears very well.

  On this host, I run a virtual client, also Debian 5 (Lenny), with an ethernet in Bridge mode connection.

  This host gets its IP from DHCP Windows without problem and is also listed correct

  The host can ping the client without problems. The client cannot ping the host: ping packets 1 in 10 get through.

  Same story for ping any other computer on the network and vice versa (ping the virtual client from any computer).

  A very small amount of packets through. Can someone help me?

  I'll give you the basic information (see images) for host and virtual client.

  Would it because I listed the OS as Debian 4 like Debian 5 was not available in the drop-down list?

  It is a line that wraps a LOT in the newspaper for vmware: cannot find Debian conversion type: vim.vm.GuestOsDescriptor.GuestOsIdentifier

  I do not think because if the problem is related to the link it is not related to the prompt (you can install a Windows client for example who is facing the same problems then).

  I thought back to a NETWORK card to check that your installation works in general. If this is the case, we can try to get the liaison work.

• Stop several hosts and the virtual machine on the host computers

  Sorry to bother the community again. Right now I have a script that stop or suspend virtual machines on a host in order using an external file to store the order (with the help of lamw). The plan is for the script to reside in a virtual centre with multiple hosts. The script must be able to stop the vm on the host, the closure of the host (to be ordered the same idea with the external file), then jump to the next host and continue the same process. I tried to create nested for loops this task, but it doesn't seem to work. Any help would be appreciated. I have attached the script. Thanks in advance

  I think you try to only syspend or stop each VM and then stop the host.

  This code might help.
