• Cannot import Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4.

  Hi team,

  I use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone to import certain Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4, using another Windows Server 2008 R2 as the machine Agent Converter. Well, the agent connects to the Windows VM source very well (I used the net use command to create a line of conduct...), perhaps no chance to connect to the computer target VMware ESxi 4 and make the converter doesn't work...

  Following is the error message:

  "Unable to connect to the host specified" from the converter agent machine. " It is perhaps because the host is not available on the network, there is a problem with the network configuration or management on this host services do not react. Check all components of converter to be able to connect.

  So, my question is; is it possible to create a work around (like the net use Windows command above) to make possible the connection of the converter Agent on Linux VMware ESXi 4 machine Windows machine, to directly import the virtual machines of Windows Hyper-V to Linux VMware?

  Thanks in advance,

  It's even easier than that

  Use this: http://www.winimage.com/

  Which will convert *.vhd *.vmdk, so you don't need to do all this... Of course, another way is to start the machines, leaving them on Hyper-V and go through the network and process virtual machine as physical machines and do a P2V on the network...

• ESXi 5.0 as a virtual machine

  For pure and for training automatic tests, I installed VMware ESXi 5.0 as a virtual machine inside a VMware ESXi 5.0 host (physical).

  How can I configure the network interface to allow the VM ESXi?

  Is there a best practices document to configure VMware ESXi as a virtual machine?

  Concerning

  Marius

  Basically, all you have to do is to allow mode promiscuity on vSwitch physical hosts, which you connect virtual ESXi hosts. Make sure that virtual ESXi hosts are configured with the virtual "E1000" NETWORK card adapters

  For other settings, please take a look at Execution nested VMs

• VMware Workstation 6.5 - not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine

  My host is a processor Intel Core i5 (active VT) and 8 GB of RAM Windows 7 64 bit running with hardware virtualization enabled.
  
  Apart from McAfee Antivirus and the usual Windows updates, no other software has been installed on the host machine.
  
  I am running Vmware Workstation 6.5 and I installed 3 popular VM with below guest OS, s/w and memory:
  
  VMware ESX 4-2 GB
  Server 2003 (DC and DNS) - 1 GB

  Server 2003 (vCenter Server) - 1 GB
  
  However, it is not possible for me to all 3 virtual machines run simultaneously. If I turn on Vmware ESX 4 and try to start Windows 2003 VM, it displays the following message:

  Not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine with its configured settings.

  To resolve this problem, set the parameters in additional memory to allow for more virtual memory machine to swap.

  If you were able to on this Windows virtual machine on that host computer in the past, try restarting the host computer. Reboot may allow you to use a little more memory host to run virtual machines.

  Can you get it someone please let me know where are the rest of the memory is busy? Size of total memory of 3 virtual machines are only 4 GB and I have to be able to run all the VMs set 3, but in this case I can't even run two virtual machines simultaneously.

  Please help what should I do?

  With 8 GB of RAM on the host allowing why only 1 GB to be reserved for all you run virtual machines?

• ESXi on SD card and virtual machines on a NAS raid-6, performance?

  Hello!

  I'm planning an ESXi with HP Proliant DL380 G6 environment, which I already have.

  The server has an internal port SD card and according to this article , it is supported to run ESXi from an internal SD card.

  1ST QUARTER

  Someone hwo as tried this, what of the downside to this, except the redundancy on the SD card. I had a hard time finding comments on this

  Q2

  I intend to run virtual machines on a NAS via iSCSI, (thecus N8800, have another thread on the subject to know if it would work or not here)

  With this config I don't need any HD in the DL380.

  However, I do not know if a good high-performance NAS is good enough for my VMs and if maybe I need to run the OS on internal disks with higher performance.

  First of all, my plan was to run the OS partitions on a raid with internal 10 k SAS drives. And have all the data on the NAS partitions.

  But since I'm the new implementation of ESXi on SD or USB I think about the ability to run the DL380 without HD

  But, as noted above, is it possible that there is performance enough for that.

  Having in mind that my environment is and will be VERY LOW, we speak up seven windows server 2008 and totally 150 users.

  But I still haven't any idea if theres a chance that my 7 virtual machines running windows server 2008 will be capped at a lot by running NAS. The Nas will take place with eight 7.2 k RPM Sata disks, they are high of preforming sata drives, but not yet a SCSI raid. I have the ability to run a raid 10 on it instead of 6 and I will consider and try how much better performance, he gives me. 1 TB sata drives are 70% less expensive than the 300 GB 2.5 '' SAS 10 k disks.

  Yes, there is a good reason THAT SATA is less expensive than SAS.  SATA drives do not have the same command line than to use SAS drives, more the bottom of basket on SATA relies on the CPU, SAS can unload it on DEMAND.  The discs themselves seem to be competitive, but they are a far cry from the performance of SAS/SCSI, you get good performance until you start to make the e/s simultaneous sessions and hit heavily then you'll start to see performance degrades

  If do you some tests and that you are happy with it, still great.  I really hope it works well.  RAID 10 can be a good idea with SATA, which can help to compensate for this loss of performance.

  The PIN number is the best way to get the best performance, the physical drives of player throw you into a RAID of any kind the better you will be.

  Seagate Barracuda ES. 2-1 TB - 3.5 "- SATA-300 - 7200 tours min - lunch: 32 MB"

  vs SAS 15 K (that's 2 x the IOPS/sec)

• ESXi 4.1 upgrade to ESXi 5.5 while all virtual machines and data warehouses

  We have two servers ESXi 4.1.0 348481 (Essentials) and we need to upgrade to ESXi 5.5 for support of Windows Server R2 2012. We intend to use the interactive upgrade. We want to ensure that the virtual machine is preserved. More precisely VMFarm001 where ESXi is installed in the same data store as VMServer1. VMServer1 is our largest server and cannot be migrated to another data store easily because we are not allowed for vMotion.

  The following layout

  VMFarm001

  Dell PowerEdge R710

  Data store:

  Storage1 - 1.36 TB

  VMServer1 - MS Server 2003

  Install ESXi

  Storage2 - 1.82 TB

  VMServer2 - MS Server 2008 R2

  VMServer3 - MS Server 2008 R2

  VMFarm002

  HP ProLiant ML350 G5

  Data store:

  Storage1 - 95GB

  Install ESXi

  ISOs

  Storage2 - 1.82 TB

  VMServer4 - MS Server 2008 R2

  VMServer5 - MS Server 2008 R2

  I have a feeling I'm worried for nothing given that option during the ESXi upgrade and keep the VMFS datastore.

  Thank you

  Yes, that's correct.

  I recently finished the upgrade of lots of stand-alone hosts ESXi 4.1 (with local storage only) to 5.1 and all were successful. The same process applies to 5.5, so you shouldn't have a problem with preservation of VMFS data warehouses (and all virtual machines).

• nested ESXi vHost, networking, the nested virtual machines cannot access outside the world.

  
  My Datacenter configured as follows:

  1. physical switch connected to 3 physical server.

  vCenter Server IP: 192.168.10.10

  two physical hosts ESXi: IP: 192.168.10.11/12.

  2. my laptop connected to the physical network, IP: 192.168,10.100.

  3. my two physical hosts configured with a Standard vSwitcher0, VMNIC0, portgroup MYLAN uplink vLan ID = 162, vmk0 vLan ID = 162.

  4. I created two nested ESXi vHost on the two physical host, assigned 192.168.10,101/102 IP, gateway 192.168.10.1

  5 standard vSwitch0 on two vHost, only NETWORK VM portgroup with ID vLan by default = 0.

  6. I have create computer virtual the virtual server nested and assigned to the VM using VM NETWORK, also assigned the IP address: 192.168.10.201, gateway 192.168.10.1

  But my VM, I cannot ping 192.168.10.1, also I can not ping the virtual machine (x.x.x.201) from my laptop.

  I can ping my vHost nested two of my laptop, can also connect to the console of the virtual computer through my vHost nest.

  my virtual world, my network is configured as it IS (external swith marking).

  my world physical host, my network is configured as a VST (virtual switch tagging).

  My Setup must in principle be correct, but it does not work.

  I am a newcomer to the world of VMWare nested.   I'm appreciated for any suggestions and help.

  The vSwitch on the physical host must be configured to allow the promiscuous mode and forged passes.

• ESXi host have not of virtual machines when connected through vCenter

  Hi all

  I am facing a problem with 1 ESXi hosts. All other hosts are working properly.

  All hosts are managed by vCenter 5.1 VM. When I select this problematic host in vCenter and click on the virtual computers tab, it does not display anything other than a blank page. Then, it throws an error saying that the object has been deleted or has not completely created. The screenshot of the error popup is attached.

  However, if I connect directly to the host through the VI client, it does not throw the error and I can see the virtual machines it. If I have vmotion the vms during this host, I do not see these virtual machines via vcenter but I connect directly to the host and I can see the virtual machines. They work very well.

  What could be the cause of this problem.

  Thank you

  AG

  I would try restart the management agent on the host troubled or removing of vCenter and time.

• An external NIC on ESXi 5.1 and a virtual machine

  Hello!
  I have a dedicated server that has a single network adapter with an IP address from the data center. Installed on the server ESXi 5.1.
  And also the VM deployed, I need to publish on the Internet through the IP address. But because the ESXI host uses this IP address, I don't understand how to do it?
  Best regards, Dmitry

  It does not help if the host is connected directly to the Internet. You cannot have the same IP address on two different systems. The only way to do it with a unique IP address is having something of a NAT device in front of the host that forwards traffic - based ports, for example - to the host's IP address or the IP address of the virtual machine.

• vSwitch ESXi 5.1 workaround to virtual machines (direct access to the network)

  Hello world!

  I have a server running properly the 5.1 ESXi hypervisor and got inside the physical grid active router with DHCP. How can I configure the vSwitch on ESXi 5.1 work not managed on the network, without VLAN and have direct access to the network?

  Just to clarify, I would like to first of all virtual machines VMware Workstation works - if it is possible to run several virtual machines and define all NICS (Network Interface Card) as connected by a bridge, that is to say. Each VM gets the specific configurations of IP to the external router.

  Since now, thank you very much for the help!

  Best regards

  Eduardo

  With ESXi the vSwitches work comparable to Bridged networking, so there is really nothing special to do.

• Problem with script to clone virtual machines

  Hello

  I created a script to clone virtual machines on a regular basis around a method posted by LucD and Simon Long here or on their blogs.

  Here is the part that does the actual work:

  $VM = get - VM $Machine.MasterVM
  # Send Email of departure
  .\startmail.ps1
  # Create new snapshot clone
  $CloneSnap = $VM | New-Snapshot - name "Instant Test" - Quiesce
  # Get the managed object display
  $VmView = $VM | Get-View
  # Get the managed folder object reference
  $CloneFolder = $VmView.parent
  # Construction specification clone
  $CloneSpec = new-object Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineCloneSpec
  $CloneSpec.Snapshot = $VmView.Snapshot.CurrentSnapshot
  # Make the linked disc specification
  $CloneSpec.Location = new-object Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec
  $CloneSpec.Location.Datastore = (get-Datastore-name $Machine.BackupDS). Extensiondata.MoRef
  $CloneSpec.Location.Host = (get-vmhost-name $Machine.BackupHost). Extensiondata.MoRef
  $CloneSpec.Location.Transform = [Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateTransformation]: sparse
  $CloneName = "$vm - BU - $date"
  # Create clone
  $vmView.CloneVM ($cloneFolder, $cloneName, $cloneSpec)
  # Write newly created VM to stdout as confirmation
  Get - VM $CloneName
  # Remove snapshot created for clone
  $Snap = get-Snapshot - VM (VM-Get-name $Machine.MasterVM)-name $CloneSnap | Remove-Snapshot - confirm: $False
  #Send full email
  .\endmail.ps1

  I want to use in an environment composed of 3 servers ESXi 4.0 with a local data store each. This works well in my test environment, but not in that productive.

  Here, I get this error:

  Exception, calling 'CloneVM' with '3' or the arguments: "it was not correct to specified parameters.
  Spec.Location.pool ".
  C:\script\vm-backup\backup.ps1:98 char: 18
  + $vmView.CloneVM < < < < ($cloneFolder, $cloneName, $cloneSpec)
  + CategoryInfo: NotSpecified: (:)) [], MethodInvocationException)
  + FullyQualifiedErrorId: DotNetMethodException

  In a comment on his blog, made Simon refers to an error in the data store, but it seems very well here.

  By comparing the values of the characteristics to those of my testbed everything looks good, too.

  Does anyone of you can tell me where to look for the problem?

  Thanks in advance

  Christian

  That's correct, 1 by Server default resource pool.

  You can do

  Get-ResourcePool-name resources-site (Get - VMHost - name MyEsx)

  to get the default pool for a specific ESX Server

  CAB, you add a line in your original script

  $CloneSpec.Location.Pool = (get-ResourcePool-name resources-site (Get - VMHost - name MyEsx)). Extensiondata.MoRef

  This should be the correct MoRef

  The message seems to indicate that the target VM already partially exist.

  Remove it before you run your script once again.

• Is it possible to use the box that esxi is installed as a virtual machine?

  I have correctly installed ESXi and established virtual machines using the VI Client. The virtual machines are installed with the operating system and on balance, everything works as advertised.

  PC, access the box of ESXi are far enough away from the real server. Is it possible to have a vm residing with the box of ESXi machine on ESXi box?

  Any help will be greatly appreciated. This is new territory for me.

  Ken

  Hey Ken. Good job getting everything setup and operation. Unfortunately you cannot 'see' a guest of the ESXi server. I suggest you bring a laptop with you on the server.

  If you have found the following information useful please consider giving points and or the marker said.

• How to replace oracle JInitiator with other Native Java Virtual Machine?

  Dear Experts
  I installed ony my server not IBM application called "IBM Filenet IDM webservice".
  It is used for the analysis documents aweb application.
  The problem is that this product uses other Machines virtual Java.  IBM.
  This causes a conflict with Oracle JInitiator.
  So, I decided to depend on Sun or IBM java virtual machine.
  But I don't know how to do this.
  What are the system requirements?
  Help, please

  Hello

  By default in formsweb.cfg you have a section called \[jpi\].
  If you run the form with config = YPI added to URL Sun JRE will be used instead of Jinitiator. Note that you must specify correct jpi_classid in formsweb.cfg match the version of JRE to your client computers.

  To configure forms server to use any version of JRE installed on the client computer, you can create a section in formsweb.cfg

  \[jpidynamic\]
  baseHTMLJInitiator = basejpi.htm
  jpi_download_page = http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/1.4.2_09/index.html
  jpi_classid = clsid:8AD9C840 - 044F-11 D 1-B3E9-00805F499D93
  jpi_codebase = http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/autodl/jinstall-1_4-windows-i586.cab#Version=1, 4,0,0

  and to call the forms with configuration of parameter URL = jpidynamic

  It will be useful,
