• 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.

• 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.

  Enjoy

• 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.

• create a new virtual machine with the default settings?

  I was wondering if there was a way to create a new virtual machine with the default settings.

  For example, let's say I want all new Lion VM to have 2 CPU cores. Is there a way to set this automatically? There are other parameters I want a new machine to inherit automatically, I was wondering if there is an automatic way to do this, or is it a feature request...

  Thanks in advance

  Just for my clarification, when you say a vm model, basically I would execute a finder copy then drag back to the VM library, right?

  Yes.

  On the orders of spcirpting, it would be unix commands or are there specific vmware controls that make your job easier (in Applications/VMware\ Fusion/content or elsewhere)...

  IIRC, VMware Fusion 3 and later versions has an AppleScript dictionary, but it is not yet officially supported and may not be able to do what you want so, basically, only Unix Shell scripts, that's what I was referring to.  For an example, see my script attached to the following response: Re: vmware - script of the creation of the vm and the operating system installation process

• 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.

  Disable all firewalls in your linux guests.

  Host-Only is VMnet1, you used only NAT. static use of intellectual property and switch to DHCP for now. Make sure that the VMWare DHCP Server service is running. Put network cards in comments to "host-only '.

  Post your host ' ipconfig/all'.

• 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

  See the article by Alessandro on that... http://www.virtualization.info/2005/12/Guide-to-create-VMX-files-for-VMware.html

• Create a virtual machine with 300G

  Hello, I am trying to create a virtual machine with 300 G on an ESX 3.5 update 3 but I can't do it, I can only create a VM of 256 G

  Is it possible to create a virtual machine of 300G.

  I have a 500G LUN with software on a CX3 - 10 c EMC iSCSI

  Thank you very much

  Change the size of block on your VMFS.

  If you create a data store, the default block size is 1 MB, which will allow you to create files up to 256 GB

  Change the block to 2 MB size. However, you will need to recreate your data store and this wil destroy all data on it!

• Start and stop Virtual Machines with the system

  Hello

  In a server cluster @vcenter HA/DRS 5.1, I enabled start and stop virtual machines with the system option but after I checked two days later, he is off again somehow. What makes this option off? I had a power failure in the datacenter. vCenter server has not been upward. I started all of the ESXi servers manually then went all VMs account is declining. I want that they start automatically when server ESXi upward.

  Thanks in advance,

  Thank you. This option is more valid than if the hosts are part of an HA Cluster license. I suspect that you configured through the traditional vSphere Client and that it is a bug with this client. If you try with the new vSphere Web Client, you will find a notice that it is disabled and there is no button "Edit".

• Impossible to turn on the virtual machine with the following error: could not open the disk ' / path/to/vmdk-0001.vmdk ' or one of the Flash disk it depends on. Reason: Broken pipe.

  After the movement of virtual machines in VmWare Server 2 for ESX 4i, I get this error when you try to start the virtual machine:

  Impossible to turn on the virtual machine with the following error: could not open the disc

  "/ path/to/vmdk-0001.vmdk" or one of the Flash disk it depends on.

  Reason: Broken pipe.

  Anyone's idea what is the problem here?

  How did you move virtual machines?

  Did you use the converter (https://www.vmware.com/tryvmware/?p=converter)

  Otherwise try converter

• 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.

  Unable to start the virtual machine.

  Power DevicePowerOn module has failed.

  Unable to create the virtual SCSI device for scsi0:0, ' / vmfs/volumes/543d140b-feb33d52-7640-90b11c9796c3/vmdk/kapuatdb.vmdk'

  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)

• 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?

  Andrey

  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

  and also I found good examples of what I need to in VMUtil.pm in cmd vmsphere libraries.

• Create new virtual machine of the model that have two hard drives in the different data store

  We do VM deploy automation with PowerCLI.

  There is already a model created with at least two hard drives to one side and each hard drive belong to difference datastore,

  In the model's operating system is Windows server 2008 R2 already installed VMware Tools and other software in the second (other than C: driver) driver

  We can successfully deploy a new virtual machine with this manually with vSphere client model.

  But when we try to make the deployment with PowerCLI, can not find examples of similar scripts in the document of reference,

  and we also google this question, still no similar question was found.

  Is this possible with PowerCLI? If it's possible could you give me some advice or an example of script, thank you!

  Best regards.

  I already found the solution.

  With the vSphere SDK .NET API, we can create the new virtual machine to the model

  Mainly used API listed below, sorry because I can not give the source code here.

• Create a virtual machine using the ubuntu (host of W7) partition

  I am running Windows 7 and 8 of VMware Workstation.

  The disc is actually a raid-0. There are 3 partitions: (Dual-boot)

  -Ubuntu (64-bit)

  -System reserved Windows

  -Windows (64-bit)

  I am trying to create a virtual machine under W7 using the Ubuntu partition.

  I tried 2 things for step 'select a physical drive:

  -Use individual partitions. The problem is at the end, when you click Finish. I get the error: "one of the provided parameters is not valid."

  -Disc use whole. The virtual machine is created, but when I turned on, I get the error:

  "Could not open the disk ' C:\. [..] \Ubuntu 64 - bit.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

  Reason: the physical disk is already in use. »

  Thank you in advance for answering,

  Kind regards.

  In my tests I couldn't use a host physical diskwith a Windows 7 without setting the disc 'offline '.
  But then you can set the diskette from Windows Startup 'offline '.

  Using Linux or 2003, you don't have this problem.
