• . VMDK copy in another data store

  Hi people,

  I currently have a virtual machine that is sitting in my main drive in an ESX host. My goal is to copy (and not move) this virtual machine to another data store. I heard that there is a copy command to achieve this. If someone can explain? Also can be done while VM is turned on?

  Thank you!

• Storage vMotion a VM except disk that is in another data store

  Hello

  I'm looking to convert a large number of virtual machines clones related to thick.  I decided the best way to do this is probably a simple a storage vMotion, but all the virtual machines have a secondary drive that is in another data store.  I have to make sure that disk #2 stays at its current location, while the machine virtual (Config and disk #1 files) are transferred to a new data store data store.

  I figured out how to move a virtual machine complete or a single disc but not a virtual machine under a disc.  I am able to make it through the advanced options of puissancela vSphere client so I guess it is techinically possible.

  Pointers or other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Kind regards

• displacement of the VM in another data store

  Hello

  We organize 2 5.5 vSphere hosts (VMware vSphere Essentials 5 Licensed for 2 processors (unlimited cores per processor) physical.)

  One of our data warehouses has insufficient free space on the disk.

  I'd be happy if someone could give me a little advice what is the best way to move or copy a virtual machine in another data store.

  Already, I read after KB, but he has not understood completely.

  Your screenshot shows that you are on the right track.

  As soon as you have turned off the virtual computer the

  dimmed options get turned on even on the essential.

  See you soon.

• How can I increase the space put into service for a data store in vSphere

  Using vSphere client 4.0.0 (208111) and vCenter Server 4.0.0 (162856)

  I have a 850 GB data store set up that shows only 525 GB configured.  My users are bumping into the ceiling and I need to give them more space.  I can't find a setting that allows me to do this.  What are my options here?

• Unable to scp - r of the local data store a host to another data store local host

  Using PuTTY to connect to the host server

  Running command to copy VM to a data store to another data store (the two DS hosted locally on 2 different servers)

  Error: are different major versions of Protocol: 2 vs 1

  -J' tried confirmed that the only protocol on two host servers are defined in Protocol No. 1 and as I use Putty I have the Protocol in 1 also, but the same error occurs.

  II

  1 - Check the SSH configuration on both sides and compare... (/ etc/ssh/sshd_config)

  The remote server will only accept v2 connections and you try to do

  a connection v1. So either enable support of the v1 on the remote side. Or use

  keys v2 and id_rsa/id_dsa.

  2. check the versions ESX & patch level you used on both sides (ESX 3 xx build xxx)

  3 - also, you can check ssh version of protocol running rpm - qa | grep openssh.

  Good luck!

• Move the location of the VM swap file in another data store

  Hi all

  Was in a task to move the 1000 to the file location of VM swap on another data store which is newly assigned to Exchange us to the existing store database file that will be decommissioned.

  Eager to check if anyone has made movement swap of VM location of the files to a data store to another and that all measures taken to move.

  Require some VM downtime?

  Thanks in advance a ton.

  Yes it is possible without interruption of service to virtual machines.

  1. make sure that your cluster is configured to use swap data store specified by host

  2. take a host in the cluster in maintenance mode, change the location of the VM configuration file to point to the new data store

  3. do this for all hosts in the cluster

  When you vMotion a VM from one host to another the swap file will get moved to the new data store. Later when you take guests to the maintenance and return output mode, vMotion occurs for each computer in the cluster virtual and file is moved.

• How to migrate to VMDK all store data in another data store

  How would be migration of VMDK script all store data in another data store.

  No, then you must use the Move-VM cmdlet. But this cmdlet moves all files to the destination data store.

  The alternative is to use the method RelocateVM_Task , which allows more flexibility to define what that goes where.

  It is a good example of your thread has called using several data stores, can not migrate the vmx in a data store file

• Create the snapshot in another data store

  Hi all

  On ESXi 4, is it possible to create snapshot in another data store? The reason is that the current data store is almost full. Thank you.

  Hello

  As far as I know, the snapshots are always in the same place as the files of the virtual machine. Then, it is not possible to snapshots in the other data that the VM store.

  Best wishes / Saludos.

• Moving a disk of the user in another data store

  Hello!

  I have an office pool that is used by a few users and now I discovered, as i wan't to upgrade the user drives my Netapp file server to use snapshots on them. Is there a way to move a disc of the user to its current location on the same os drive data store was a new data store?

  I know that I can put in place a new pool, but let the user discs when I do this, so this isn't an option.

  Anyone know how I can keep my user records, moving them to another data store?

  Currently a UDD cannot be moved the data to be backed up and restored. Alternatively, you can also turn on roaming profiles have the connection of the user in two places, once everything is in place, turn them off.

• I can't connect to Vcenter using vsphere client

  I installed vCenter 6.0 and vsphere client 6.0. I can connect to the web client, but when I am connected to vCenter using vsphere client I got error.

  

  In vsphere version 5.5 I can connect to vCenter using vsphere client 5.5.

  I can't find any information on this subject on vmware.com.

  Do vsphere 6.0 support connecting to vCenter using vsphere client?

  I guess you are using Vsphere Client beta built which has only the features of client enabled host.

  Try GA build Client to connect to vCenter. However, the latest vsphere 5.1 leave are available only in the web client.

• You cannot use vSphere client to change the settings of the virtual machine v10 or more

  Hello

  I just downloaded new version of Kali Linux to do some tests with my free version of ESXi update 5.5 2, the problem is that I can't change the settings of the virtual machine in vSphere Client.

  It's so good because of the independence of Web OS Client vSphere but what about the free version? Everyone knows you need a vCenter running successfully and a license for the vSphere Web Client.

  There is no free version of VMWare vCenter.

  Nice day.

• VM have been storage vMotioned to another data store, and now I have 3 VM with white "!" inside a red square and I want to understand the cause of this.

  VM have been storage vMotioned to another data store, and now I have 3 VM with white "!" inside a red square and I want to understand the cause of this.

  Can you try to make a vmotion host and see if it gets resolved? If not, can you close the virtual machine and start again? I have seen this problem before and a stop and start resolved.
