• Create an alert n for disonnected/on which the virtual machine

  Hey guys,.

  I am running vCenter 4.1 and I want to create an alert for disconnected or no response from the virtual computer.  I havea hoe from basic idea to create the new detector of definitions, but I can't seem to find one that does what I want.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  You'll probably have to create a new alarm "monitor for specific events on this object...". "Alarm type must be the virtual machine.  Add a trigger to the disconnected event 'VM.  Next, configure your actions.

  Hello

  I found the solution.

  I disabled the JOB BE general relativity.

  and the host where the virtual machine belong was not the right time. No Ntp server has been configured.

  I did and now there works.

  I think that the problem can come from this.

• create the virtual machine from windows NT 4 server with adaptec raid 5

  I have an old Dell (1998) server running windows NT 4.0 sp6a.  He had a raid 5 configuration using the controller raid adaptec SCSI 2940.  2 discs failed who broke the raid set.  I had a disk recovery company to recover the data and they have scratched off readers and gave me a SATA with all volumes.  I found a procedure to create a virtual hard disk (.vhd) and then converted to a hard and used to create a virtual machine in VMware workstation 7.  When I turn on the virtual machine, it begins the process of starting windows, shows the boot menu, select normal or mode VGA, goes through the process of NTdetect, display processor and memory but then gives a BSOD with the message inaccessible_boot_device.

  I changed the hard to affect the buslogic ddb.adaptertype, but it gave me the same problem.

  is there a different driver that I need for an adaptec raid controller or if the typical SCSI drivers should work?  If the typical SCSI drivers should work, so my problem might be in my Boot.ini because it shows that he is supposed to start on the partition (4) and this sata drive may not have scores exactly as they were on the raid configuration.  I tried to mount the volumes not in read-only mode, but the partition that I need to change the boot.ini file is partition (2) what mapping VMware won't let me open mode not readonly.  whenever I have, select it and it opens the partition (1) mode not readonly.

  I know this sounds complicated then I hope I described with precision.

  Very useful, because most repairs or recovery to the VMware is done the evening or at night.

• Create the virtual machine by using the file PowerCLI and csv

  I know there is a lot of info out there on this and I think I have a working script prety good.  Much was borrowed from this thread, http://communities.vmware.com/thread/315193 many thanks to LucD.

  My code is as follows:

  # Deploy virtual machines from CSV file
  # Much borrowed from http://communities.VMware.com/thread/315193?start=15 & tstart = 0

  
  # CSV import file
  Import-Csv "C:\guests.csv" - UseCulture | %{

  -Datastore $_. Data store - OSCustomizationSpec $_. Customization"
  -Confirm: $false - RunAsync
  ## .......
  }

  He's going to cross and clone the virtual machine, and looks like he's running of the OSCustomizaitonSpec then it bombards.  It cleans bad VM.  Recent tasks shows "failed virtual machine clone that a specified parapeter was not correct." hostname ".

  The problem is that I don't mean to set a hostname with the OSCustomixationSpec, I try only to IP address info.

  I'm runningn PowerCLI 5.0.1 build 581491

  My ESXi host is 5.0.0 build 914586

  My vCenter Server is Ver 5.0.0 build 623373

  I opened a new thread, because the age of the old thread.  Not sure if this is the best way to do things.

  A very simple and intuitive brake system :-)

  You can be more selective about the current jobs. For example, you can check if the name of the job shows that they are actually cloning jobs.

• Cannot start the virtual machine after you create snapshop

  I found a strange behaviour. I have a Windows 2008 guest that I just copied in my new box ESXi. I am trying to create a snapshot before upgrading the guest to 2012 Windows operating system. The virtual machine has currently no snapshots. Whenever I have create a snapshot, he succeeds, but then I can't start the virtual machine saying that it does not find the vmdk file delta even though I see there in the data store. In order to start the virtual machine, I have to delete the inventory and it readd, but then I lose the snapshot. I also have another computer virtual running Windows 8.1 that does exactly the same thing. How can I create snapshots safely without damaging the virtual machine? I also tried to create the snapshot while the virtual machine has been activated but that makes crashing and then it does not start again, so I have to repeat the process to remove the inventory and it time. Frustrating. See the screenshots, I have attached.

  Once these virtual machines have been in Hyper-V in the past and I just convert to VMware format using the StarWind V2V converter.

  Yes, for an ESXi host and target you must either select the ESX f.vmdk as format target (growable option is for VMware Workstation), or you must convert the virtual machine once more instead of simply upload the files to an ESXi host.

• How do I create standard vSwitches in a HA cluster where the virtual machine switches to the same network?

  I have a lab put in place with 2 hosts 5.5 ESXi and vCenter.  I want to create a situation where each virtual machine must have a dedicated network card.  If I create vSwitchABC on host 1, what should I do on host 2?  Create vSwitchABC on that host too and connect it to the same physical switch?  Which will allow the host 1 failure and the virtual machine to arrive on host 2 on the network because the same vSwitch names?

  Thank you!

  Welcome to the community-Yes, you need to create a vswitch on host 2 has a virtual machine port group with the same name on host 1 connection on the same subnet as connected to the host - 1

• 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.

• alert filtering for the Virtual Machine in emailFilter.xml

  I'm trying to filter for alerts from the Virtual Machine to the user interface in the emailFilter.xml.

  Ideally I would like to filter by other measures such as the ready % CPU or the CPU usage or some other metrics, but in the meantime just try to isolate the Virtual Machine.

  < condition >

  < condition type = "ResourceKind" > VMware adapter: Virtual Machine < / condition >

  < / conditions >

  I tried a few different combinations of the above, but no luck.  Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

  Thank you!

  not quite sure I understand what you try to do

  Edit:

  But I have the kind of resource would be 'VirtualMachine' (without a space), and there is no tag 'typical'.

  Look at him ' consolidated-alert - definitions.xml' for example, formatting must be exactly as specified.

  I read it twice
  Look here - https://www.vmware.com/pdf/vcops-57-custom-ui-admin-guide.pdf page 82.

  resource type must be VMWARE:VirtualMachine

  
  

  I'm not sure that you will be able to filter by attribute however (such as the CPU usage)

• Alert - the virtual machine CPU usage

  A virtual computer that is running Windows 2000 reports almost every day an alert on "use of the processor of the virtual machine.

  According to my knowledge, add a CPU to a Windows 2000 Server is not easy as with recent versions of Windows, is correct?

  The 5.0 ESXi host is not CPU ovrloaded, so I don't think that adding a CPU reservation can change anything...

  So, what is the best way to solve the problem with the minimum impact on the VM guwest?

• vmreconfig.pl add a CD/DVD device will fail if the virtual machine created with vmcreate.pl

  I am trying to add a cdrom to my VM I created with the vmcreate.pl.

  When I use the script vmreconfig.pl to create the cdrom I get the following error...

  Cannot use a value that is not defined as a reference to a matrix to/usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps/vm /... AppUtil/VMUtil.pm line 898.

  OK so I have create a cdrom in vSphere and try again manually...

  Addition of the cd 'cd '...
  Virtual machine 'vmname4' is reconfigured successfully.

  OK, so I think that my VM I created with the vmcreate.pl missing the ide0: 0 or something...

  Any suggestions on how I can do this?

  I'm doing the following...

  1. create the virtual machine by using vmcreate.pl.

  2. Add the CDrom to the virtual machine using vmreconfig.pl.

  Thanks in advance.

  Just watched this.

  The vmreconfig.pl script does not handle the case of a device not defined in the VirtualIDEController object array.

  Look like the real device table is not defined until an IDE device is actually connected (or when a new IDE device is added).  I'm not 100% sure of what generates the actual peripheral table off the coast of the VirtualIDEController, but the case of a table of undefined device should be handled in the script to reconfigure.

  I can see the two solutions here, first write a custom script that adds the CDROM and manages this one-off case.  Then, modify the vmreconfig.pl script to handle this particular case of a painting of the disconnected device.

  In VMUtil.pm, you will find line number 929:

  My = $unitNumber $# {$controller-> device} + 1;

  This is to change:

  My = $unitNumber (set $controller-> device)? $# {$controller-> device} + 1:0;

  There may be other cases in the VMUtil.pm module that needs to be updated as well.  For this reason, it may be better to just write your own custom tool.  However, the simple correction above may let you go ahead with your project in the short term.

• I can run all the virtual machines (created with workstation) in VMWare player?

  Suppose I created a virtual machine in a Vmware Workstation 7.1 installation.

  Can I take all of this a virtual machine and run it on a VMware player installation?

  Or Vmware Workstation offers specific features that are required by the virtual machine to run successfully?

  Matt

  If,

  If you are using vmware player 3.x, you should have no problem.

  Do not forget that the workstation and vmware player share much of its architecture.

• How to create the virtual machine to a virtual machine existed file?

  I have two hard drives on my VMware host. There are virtual machines on a SATA drive, how do I list these files of virtual machines and copy one of them to create a new virtual machine (it can save a lot of my time!). I did this way on VMware server 2.0 because I can see what they were and where they were under Windows. But on vSphere, how can I do? Maybe you guys have other ways to do it?

  Thank you!

  George

  On vSphere, I suggest you use autonomous vConventer instead. It is quite simple and easy to use. Alternatively, you can copy or clone the virtual disk to the virtual machine via the Console (ESX) Service offline
