• cannot select store with virtual machine

  Hello

  I want to configure RDM for a virtual machine that has been powered down. When I chose one to add a ROW to a READ, the "Store with virtual machine" option is grayed out, only 'Specifies the data store' is available. From what I had experienced, by specifying a data store (only the local data store unavailable to its host), this would avoid this VM vmotion when its current host has been disconnected.

  Please correct me if I'm wrong, but what is the reason for which a virtual machine would not be able to choose la carte READ my San to his record?

  See: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1001856

• Create a new vsphere environment 6 and migrate virtual machines to esxi existing 5.1

  The current environment has a cluster with 5.1 esxi hosts and vcenter server 5.5-controlled.

  I would like to create a new environment vsphere 6 with new hosts. Again I mean a clean install of vCenter server 6 and esxi, implementation of the new cluster, etc.. So I won't be able to migrate virtual machines running in 5.1 esxi hosts to the new environment.

  What would be the appropriate steps to make this right?

  Thank you.

  Take a look at this KB on how to move an ESXi host at another vCenter vSphere: VMware KB: move a managed ESX ESXi host to a vCenter Server to a different Server vCenter

  And if you are using vDS, you should look here: KB VMware: ESX/ESXi host with vDS passing a vCenter Server to another

• Permissions applied to the Cluster or host to propagate to child virtual machines

  If I ask a Cluster folder read-only permissions or a host (for a particular group of users) with the propagate to child objects enabled, when a new virtual machine is created within that folder, the user is able to do much more than R/O.

  I know that we can create a VM (in a different vision) folder with the same R/O permissions, but that guarantee no new virtual machines will have this permission applied if these new virtual machines are not placed in a VM file at creation time.

  It seems that on the new VM creation, the virtual machine is not inheriting the R/O permission in the folder/Cluster host. This is the expected behavior?

  Thank you!

  I believe that the more restrictive permissions apply. I don't have that backwards?

  I should have been more descriptive.  If you have an ad group with say joe in this document, that the group is set to read only role and joe is in another group that has an administrator role, joe becomes and administrator.  If joe is added in as a user rather than a group, then the more restrictive role wins, so you are right.

• Can't access file system host (MAC) shared in VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client when wanting to create a VMware image (Windows 7 in Parallels virtual machine running on a MAC) for the option of machine Powered On.

  File HOST (Mac) system is currently shared in the Parallels virtual machine and is accessible through Windows Explorer and works correctly in the Virtual Machine environment, however, after installing vCenter Converter application on the Windows virtual machine these shared folders are not accessible from the conversion tool in the selection of the target destination of the file VMware (s). I can't select an existing folder on drive "C:" to write the image so that there is not enough space available for the VMware image and it must be written in a different file system, while the image is being created.

  Anyone know a way around it to show the target to write the image on the host (MAC OS) file system or is it a bug?

  Thanks for the reply.  It seems that the maps are not displayed if they were created as actions by the hosts.  When I created a mapping directly from Windows, then this mapping appeared and the conversion worked fine.

• License with virtual machines management

  People:

  We use virtual machines.  If we have a change in personnel or a VM corrupted, we create a new virtual machine to duplicate an existing hard drive, create a new VM, and assign the hard drive duplicate on the new computer.  Works perfectly.

  The problem is that Acrobat thinks that we have installed on a new computer and requires therefore renewal, and it will not re-license automatically because he thinks that the license is already in use.

  Is there a way around this problem?

  Is it possible to convert our licenses from selling retail to a sort of volume license where there are but the code of a license that can be used X number of times?

  Thank you.

  Purchase the right number of Volume licenses rather than retail sales license.

• Trouble using NI USB-4065 with virtual machine VMWare

  Hello

  I'll be working with a virtual machine (windows xp) and I need to use an NI USB-4065 DMM.

  When I connect the USB-4065 to the PC, the virtual windows xp recognizes the new HW and also MAX display the new device on the list DAQmx.

  It seems ok, but if I try to use the USB-4065 (open the soft cover or in a LabView VI), the device does not work.

  If I use the frontpanel app, when I click a botton, the Group seems to work but doesn't measure anything; If I try to reboot the softpanel, it works and 'freeze' of the screen.

  If I use LabView, the VI returns an error on a maximum duration of the measure.

  I'm trying to use the device on the real machine (not with VMware) USB-4065 works, whith flexible Panel and whith VI.

  I update the driver of the DMM on the virtual machine, beats the device still doesn't work.

  ... I don't have any other idea, can anyone help me with this problem?

  Thanks, SEM.

• Only don't have a permit no cd! How to install a virtual PC with virtual machine? :(

  I got a computer with windows xp Pro and I lost to a virus. And I got a windows 7 that was unused, so I installed it and now I'm wondering. Can I continue to use the Pro license (and my windows 7 had a new virus so I did reinstall windows 7 and activated it right.) But then he broke again while I did the same thing and this time she didn't so I called and I was connected with 5 people and the 5th person fixed my license for the last time for free! Thank you microsoft! ;D )? And I can't find the cd for pro! And I tend to use the license and however you can get the installation to work without the disc on the virtual machine that you have made. PS I also say that I have the license but not the disk. What should I do?  DX

  Hi Alexander,.

  ·         Using Windows XP on the virtual machine?

  ·         What version of Windows 7 you have installed?

  If you plan to install Windows XP separately and have the dual-boot Windows XP and Windows 7, you must have a Windows XP disc. You can see the following link for more information.

  How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals

  If this is not enough, you can install Windows XP on Windows 7 using Virtual PC, unless you have one of the following editions of Windows 7 (Professional, Ultimate or Enterprise). This does not need to have the Windows XP disk.

• Extend a datastore in vCenter with virtual machines running

  We have expanded our Volume and unit number logic on our NetApp SATA VMStore from 2 TB to 4 TB, we now want to expand in vCenter, I'm ok to do this within office hours, while VMS are running on the data store?

  Going via configuration - storage - etc etc...

  It should be good. Off-peak hours are preferable, because you must make playback etc.

  This will not affect the virtual machine running inside.

  Unless there is a particular requirement, why not go with 2 TB Lun? I mean add another 2 TB logical unit number rather than add a measure?

• Creating a property for a Total of your virtual machines

  How can I create a custom property to the total number of virtual machines in my report, such as:

  Get - vm | Select the name,

  @{N = "TotalVMs"; E = {TotalTheNumberOfVMs}}

  Thank you!

  Something like that

  $vms = Get-VM$vms | select name,  @{N="TotalVMs";E={$vms.Count}} 
  

  Note that this simplistics rather than he doesn't face not VMs returned.

• Using static IP addresses with Virtual Machines

  I am stable and ESXi assessment and thus have an independent network to a server, the switch and the laptop (as a system admin). Being a newbie to VM I have not had the time to explore on the web, etc.!

  Problem is that I do not have a DHCP server, but each time the virtual machine at the start of the installation of the OS program, etc., that he tries to use...

  Is there an easy way to temporarily disable DHCP and assign static IP addresses to virtual machines? I look at the docs, this forum, etc... but I must be missing something.

• Can I create my favorite provision then auto filling with pictures of my collection?

  Hi all

  Looking for advice here. Creates a book with 460 images / family album directory type.

  All images are chosen and seated in a collection.

  I would like to set up my layout with the favourites and then auto fill, but I can't work on how this is really possible.

  Is this possible or am I better just through all page 1 by 1 and adding images where I want them to be?

  Thank you!
  Charlie

  I'm not sure that it will be a lot of fun to add so many pictures one by one!

  I would definitely recommend using the AutoLayout feature, which depends on early identification of your favorite performers. You then configure a predefined automatic page layout, for example random Favorites (do you know how to add page templates to your Favorites?). Once you have use for the layout of the book, it is easier to then go by changing the layout of the individual pages.

  First of all if I would use the collection to get the pictures in the order in which they appear in the book - as with favorites, which makes Auto Layout more likely to be a satisfactory starting point. A little trick is that you can use in the collection - each stack to group photos in a chapter or a section of stacking. Then, it becomes easier to move the sections.

  Both apps are not interchangeable with their respective brothers in applications, but you can use them together in order to achieve a certain look stylized, or to enjoy a single track , if you really need, but there is no real overlap.

  Currently, I use more creative process applications.  If you are mobile and want to generate the idea, these applications are perfect.  They can be used for the final work too, but you need to know the current constraints of the export process.

  I'm still tied to a desk for most of my design work (or laptop).

  I can't wait to see what new versions have in store for us.

• You can enable CDP on a host with virtual machines running?

  I want to activate CDP on my 3 hosts vShpere 4.1. Each host has about 20 guests on this subject. If I activate CDP via putty will affect the network connectivity of the virtual machines running on the vSwitch? Can I move all the VMS hospitality first?

  Hi Letstub,

  There is no need to evacuate your virtual machines from the vSwitch. Enable or disable CDP has no impact on the communications of the network of virtual machines. The following article that explains how to enable CDP mentions this prerequisite:

• Failed to create snapshot - now I can not start the virtual machine.

  Hi guys,.

  I took a snapshot of my VM and got the error:

  Cannot open disk ' / vmfs/volumes/xxxxxxxx.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

  Reason: Invalid drive string: cannot mix ESX and hosted style discs in the same chain.

  I deleted the snapshot in the Snapshot Manager, but my VM will always start (same error)

  Can anyone help? Its a vanilla install, just 1 VM on it.

  Thanks in advance

  Always pointing the Flash disk VMX configuration file. Whenever you remove the Flash disk, the drive-VMX configuraiton must be updated correctly. In your case it does not somehow. Anyway, lets get a work around.

  1 take the backup of the VMX configuration file

  2. edit the VMX file

  3 scsi0:0.fileName = "QFES_1.2.25 - RHEL52_x86.vmdk" (Please check the VMDK file name correctly it)

  4. save the file

  5. turn on the virtual machine

  Check your luck now
