• 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.

• 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

• Create the virtual machine with the type of controller SCSI LSI logic SAS with PowerCLi

  Hey guys,.

  IM the difficulty to create a virtual machine with the type of controller SCSI to "LSI Logic SAS". The cmdlet New - VM im struggling to find where to create the type of controller?

  If you create a virtual machine without specifying a disk it will create a 4 GB SCSI type thick (0:0) hard drive 1 with 0 Parrall default BusLogic SCSI controller.

  What im wanting to do is to create a disk hard which is thin Prov. and create SCSI LSI logic SAS controller is set to.

  New-VM -name VMSTORE23 -$vmhost $esxhost MemoryMB- 4096 NumCpu- 2 -NetworkName "Vlan 6 Machine Virtual Network" | Get-NetworkAdapter | Set-NetworkAdapter -Type Vmxnet3 -MacAddress '00:50:56:00:00:21' -confirm:$false

  I have recived of aid by some LucD who helped direct the value of the network card in the New - VM cmdlet as follows. But I'm not able to add a hose for hard disk also like:

  | Get-hard drive | Together-hard drive - Datastore $datastore - slim StorageFormat

  And I have no idea how change the type of SCSI conroller or create it with the correct configuration?

  Any help would be great,

  Thanks in advance

  Greetings, steddyeddie-

  You should be able to use Set - hard drive and SCSI controller Set cmdlets to set the storage format of your hard drive and the SCSI controller type, respectively.  You were close to on the part of game - hard drive .  Try something like:

  ## get the VM object $vmVMSTORE23 = Get-VM VMSTORE23 ## set the harddisk storageformat to thin$vmVMSTORE23 | Get-HardDisk | Set-HardDisk -StorageFormat Thin ## set the SCSI controller type$vmVMSTORE23 | Get-ScsiController | Set-ScsiController -Type VirtualLsiLogicSAS
  

  It could pack in to your existing order to keep it as a good word, but for readability.

• Create a virtual machine with the physical RAM total?

  I want to virtualize ESXi 4 on my MacBook Pro. However, I have 2 GB of RAM and ESXi 4 requires a minimum of 2 GB.

  I posted in the community of ESXi (is it possible to virtualize ESXi 4 with less than 2 GB of RAM?) and there is a solution for using ESXi with less RAM, but the problem is that I first need to run the installation with 2 GB.

  Basically, I tried to create a virtual machine with 2 GB, but the maximum I can use is 1840MB. Is it something that I do with Fusion to increase this limit? I understand that I am under a host operating system and requiring too little RAM, but just to get through the ESXi installation isn't it possible to push the VM of RAM to 2 GB and the host what OS increase the pagefile to deal with the lack of RAM?

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Thank you

  You may be able to edit the .vmx file and change the memsize option either 2048 or more. The merger is able to start a virtual machine with more memory that the host, just UI prevents common users to exceed the limits of security in general.

  I'm not quite sure what would happen if the VM actually tries to use all of the memory. If all goes well, it will be just talk and run slowly. Of course, the worst case are that it crashes.

• How to create a virtual machine with apps to play in VMware player?

  I know that this question was probably asked several times before. I searched for the answer and just shot to the top of threads that have a few years. I know a few things have changed since then and I didn't know how that would influence the answers. I want to create a virtual machine with specific applications that will play on VMware player. What is the best way to do it and it is possible for the weak or no cost? If someone knows a tutorial or blog etc I can follow that would be great.  Thank you

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

  Hi all

  I copied a file from one place vmdk and try to make a new virtual machine with this vmdk file. But when I turn on after the creation of vm error is coming. Error in the text and the image below

  Power on the virtual machine: cannot open scsi0:0 disc: disc not supported or not valid type 7. Ensure that the disk has been imported.

  See the error of the stack for more details on the cause of this problem.

  Time: 31/03/2015-14:40:05

  Target: DBServer

  vCenter Server: vcsa

  Error stack

  An error was received from the ESX host turning on DBServer VM.

  Could not open scsi0:0 disc: disc not supported or not valid type 7. Ensure that the disk has been imported.

  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)

• Can I just create a virtual machine with the installation of operating system and Application in an external drive?

  People,

  Hello. I use VMPlayer to install virtual machines a few OS in my laptop.

  Because my laptop's hard drive space is not enough to create a VM more to install Oracle Linux and its Application, can I just create a virtual machine in my laptop and then install Oracle Linux and its Application in an external USB disk?

  You can create and save the Virtual Machine in any place that you have read & write access to and enough space to support what is being installed.

• Cannot create a virtual machine with more than 256 GB

  I thought that the max capacity 2 TB vm. but I can't create a virtual machine more than 256 GB. what I am doing wrong?

  Thank you

  You probably use a block size of 1 MB, which limits a single HDD 256 GB.  You will need a larger block size

  1 MB = 256 GB

  2 512 GB

  4 MB = 1024 GB

  8 MB = 2048 GB

• Create multiple virtual machines with 2 network cards

  Hey guys -.

  Been researching some scripts of difference but did not find one who will help me in my situation.

  I'm looking for a script that will allow me to clone model and apply network settings to 2 network cards.

  1 clone Vms + 20 model

  2 Let me send it to a particular lun (using a few LUNS to available)

  3. choose a custom unique specification

  4. apply intellectual property on 2 NICs (primary and backup).

  Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

  Thank you

  Sorry to lose this thread out of my sight.

  What follows is an attempt to meet all the conditions you listed.

  $numberOfVM = 20$baseVMName = "VM"$templateName = "Template"$osCustName = "MyCust"$IPBase1 = "192.168.1."$IPBase2 = "192.168.2."$IPMask = "255.255.255.0"$IPGate1 = "192.168.1.254"$IPGate2 = "192.168.2.254"$IPDns1 = "192.168.1.100"$IPDns2 = "192.168.2.100"
  
  # Target resourcepool$resPool = Get-ResourcePool -Name Resources
  
  # Get the template$template = Get-Template -Name $templateName
  
  # Create a copy of the OS Customisation SpecTry {    Get-OSCustomizationSpec -Name tempOSCust |    Remove-OSCustomizationSpec -Confirm:$false -ErrorAction Stop}Catch {}
  
  $osCust = Get-OSCustomizationSpec -Name $osCustName |     New-OSCustomizationSpec -Name tempOSCust -Type NonPersistent
  
  # Clone the number of requested VM1..$numberOfVm | %{    # Find the datastore with the most free space    $ds = Get-Datastore | Sort-Object -Property FreeSpaceGB -Descending |        Select -First 1
  
      # Update the OS Customisation Spec NIC parts with the IP addresses    Get-OSCustomizationNicMapping -OSCustomizationSpec $osCust |    Set-OSCustomizationNicMapping -Position 1 -IpMode UseStaticIP -IpAddress "$IPBase1$_" `        -SubnetMask $IPMask -DefaultGateway $IPGate1 -Dns $IPDns1 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-Null
  
      Get-OSCustomizationNicMapping -OSCustomizationSpec $osCust |    Set-OSCustomizationNicMapping -Position 2 -IpMode UseStaticIP -IpAddress "$IPBase2$_" `        -SubnetMask $IPMask -DefaultGateway $IPGate2 -Dns $IPDns2 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-Null
  
      # Create the new VM    New-VM -Name "$baseVMName$_" -Template $template -OSCustomizationSpec $osCust `        -Datastore $ds -ResourcePool $resPool  | Out-Null}
  

  The script will create clones of $numberOfVM of the model. The virtual machines will be created at the root of the bunch, and they will be called VM1, VM2...

  The OSCustomizationSpec needs to exist and must have 2 network cards.

  The script finds the data store with more free space to create each virtual computer.

  Addresses IP of NIC are consecutive, for example on NIC1 you get 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2... and so on.

  Let me know if you have any questions.

• Licenses to create a virtual machine is second with more than 8 cores?

  So, we have a machine with 4 physical Sockets with 16 cores on each. We bought 4 licenses of vmware's standard. Now, we saw early on that the number max of hearts that we assign to a virtual machine was 32, which isn't really a big problem, 32 is a lot for our needs. So we have a 32 core virtual machine running and some other smaller, but now when I try to create another virtual machine with more than 8 cores it tells me that I have insufficient licenses.

  Can anyone provide more information on that? If I can create a virtual machine with more than 8 cores, why I can't create a new one?

  He said authorized to 4 physical processors, so it's ok, it's using your Standard licenses.

  During the 60-day trial, you could create more large virtual machines, because the 60 days run with Enterprise Plus features. Now that you are using the standard license, you can create only 8 vCPU VMs.

  Solution:

  You should spend 5.5 ESXi. Your license will also work for 5.5 and you'll be able to create virtual machines with up to 64 vCPUs.

  The New-VM cmdlet takes a single value of the parameter - data store and all of the virtual disks will be located on this data store.

  If I understand your request, you create a virtual machine with 2 virtual disks, each on a different data store.

  You can use the cmdlet New - hard drive for it.

  $datastore1 = get-datastore | where-object {$_.Name -eq "lun1"}
  $datastore2 = get-datastore | where-object {$_.Name -eq "lun2"}
  
  $vm = new-vm -name vmtest01 -VMHost ESXserver -datastore $datastore1 -diskmb 8192 -memorymb 4096 -numcpu 2 -GuestId winNetStandardGuest
  new-harddisk -vm $vm -datastore $datastore2 CapacityKB (8192 * 1KB)

• Help for a demo: create multiple virtual machines

  Hello

  I am a beginner in vCO, I completed the installation and configuration with success and I started to create workflows, but I guess that I need help with an example that I started yesterday:

  I am creating several virtual machines at the same time, I mean all the user have to do is say how VMs, he wants to be created and the workflow must do the rest, but I don't know what is the best way to do so, in the present workflow in the library , find us only 'create simple VM' so I added a few scriptable tasks to this workflow, but still can't do what I want.

  Any solution plese? or a few best practices to perform this type of workflow? Maybe I missed a workflow can create multiple virtual machines with different names but the same configuration.

  Thanks in advance,

  This can help out you.

• Plan for the creation of new virtual machine with 3 TB data drive

  We have an old server, we need to virtualize, and one thing that we need is a lot more storage. We have approximately 3.25 TB of available for this machine (250 GB for the OS and 3 to for the data drives), but I'm going in circles trying to find the best approach for this server. It is not possible to separate the data between several players because of the way the files are indexed. I have created a virtual machine with 2 TB of disk space (for the readers of OS and data) and added 1.25 TB of disk space I want to add on the data reader, but it does not seem possible to add 1.25 TB without destroying the data on the first disk of 2 TB. What is the best approach? Create a single disc for my virtual machine that is 250 GB and then add in two separate disks of 1.5 TB for storage and combine them within Windows?

  Thanks for your suggestions.

  Hello

  Unfortunately, the maximum size of virtual disk to a virtual computer is 2 TB - 512 bytes. In you case it should create two or three separate virtual disks and combine them (disks RAID 0 or concatenate). Another way (IMHO besser way) is to create several virtual drives and mount using NTFS mount points.

  An example:

  C:\Data is a folder on one of the virtual disks. Create a second virtual disks and create the C:\Data\Data2 folder. Rather than assign a drive letter for the newly created disk, you can mount it in the Database2 folder. This gives you the ability to move the largest files on separate virtual drives without lose you the structure of folders.

  Kind regards

  But this will create just a network card on the server im related to the use

  You're almost there, the MAC address must be specified as a string, enclose it.
