Create the new virtual machine for Small Business Server 2008

Hello

When creating a new Machine virtual and choose the guest operating system, the "Small Business Server 2008" are not listed. Just choose "Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (64-bit)"?

Thank you

John

Yes, it will work, and it is supported guest OS

Edit: There is a bug in the user interface for the VIC, where probably 2008 will be displayed as Vista under the toolbar of guest operating system.

  • Create the new virtual machine using Java API vCloud

    Hi guys,.

    I am trying to create the new virtual machine in TIME, but I've stuck here. The API I'm using is vcloud-java-sdk - 1.0.jar.

    Could you please show me a code snippet how to do this?

    For now I do it like this:

    RecomposeVAppParamsType recomposeVAppParamsType = new RecomposeVAppParamsType();

    List the items < CompositionItemParamType > = recomposeVAppParamsType.getItem ();
    ReferenceType vappTemplateVMRef = new ReferenceType();

    // ??? seems that new reference to the new virtual machine should be here. But how to create this VM
    CompositionItemParamType compositionItemParamType = new CompositionItemParamType();
    compositionItemParamType.setSource (vappTemplateVMRef);

    Items.Add (compositionItemParamType);
    ReferenceType vAppRef is Vdc.getVdcByReference (vcloudClient, vdcRef) .getVappRefByName ("vApp_Websrv");.

    Vapp.getVappByReference (vcloudClient, vAppRef) .recomposeVapp (recomposeVAppParamsType);

    One day before I played with Web Services SDK, which is much easier to understand. I was able to create the vApp and VMs in vSphere. Is it possible to import machines virtual vSphere to vCloud? Should what API I use for this?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You cannot add a new empty virtual machine in a paralytic.

    Instead, you can add a virtual machine from an existing vapp, vapptemplate.

    To import a vsphere vm to vcloud.

    Import vsphere vm as VAPP in vcloud. VMWVimserver-> importVmAsVApp()

    The importation of vsphere vm, as vAppTemplate, in vcloud. VMWVimserver-> importVmAsVAppTemplate()

    See also the example of ImportVmAsvAppTemplate.java, which is part of the vcloudjavasdk group.

  • I can't create a new virtual machine, for the error "invalid state" of vmware

    Hi, I have an esx server with some production virtual machines vmware;

    Yestarday I made a new VM, suse linux, froma cdrom; but the file system broke down, it has been altered, I don't know why,

    and I had to cancel the machine using the "remove disc";

    After that I could read "a system general error occurred" and when I click on create a new virtual machine (ctrl + n), I can't because the answer is "invalid state".

    When I click on each virtual machine in 'events', I do not see the logs, I see this error "system general error occurred.

    can someone help me? , should I restart the service mgmt-vmware?  (init.d) on the host server?

    Thanks in advance, best regards

    If you use Virtual Center, rebbot VC server and try again. If this does not work, you may have to restart the ESX host.

  • OsCustomizationSpec and OSCustomizationNicMapping they are a good way to set up the new virtual machine for the model

    I build a script to generate auto magicly VM when I have import information from a csv file. I have the latest PowerCli, I am trying to build servers r2 Sever 2012 model.  I tried several OsCustomizationSpec (OCS) of in the hope of getting something to work, but I had no luck so far.  In VCenter, it shows that it applies the OCS, but is not apear to have an impact on the server.  I have disabled UAC since the last time that I tried it so maybe that will make a difference.  I am under ESXi 5.1 update 2, just to try to give all the necessary information.  Ideally, I'd like Sysprep, the value of intellectual property, change the computer name and join the server to the domain.  That's all! lol I have the book "VMware vSphere PowerCLI Reffernece, automating vSphere Administration, I walked through step by step.  The new version of PowerCli seems not have the x 86 limitation as earlier versions of PowerCli.  I tried so many different things, I'm not sure what to put in place as a starting point.

    # Save the object credentials with permission to join the domain.
    $DomainCredentials = get-Credential "domain\testername."
    # Clone our Spec by adding the domain information.
    $Spec = get-OSCustomizationSpec "Windows Server 2012 R2"
    $Spec += get-OSCustomizationNicMapping - Spec $Spec
    #$Spec | Select *.

    # Get our VM
    # Change network settings
    Get - VM BigServername | Get-NetworkAdapter | Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkName nic - 172.16.25 - VLAN225 - connected: $true '
    -Confirm: $false | out-null
    # Close the comments to make change.
    Stop-VMGuest - VM $VM - confirm: $false | out-null
    # Wait while feedback stops
    While ($vm. ExtensionData.Runtime.PowerState - not "poweredOff")
    {
    Start-Sleep - seconds 1
    $vm. ExtensionData.UpdateViewData ('Runtime.PowerState')
    }
    # Apply Spec customization to apply the new network settings
    Get - VM "BigServername" |
    Set-VM - OSCustomizationSpec "R2 Windows Server 2012" - confirm: $false |
    Start-VM

    I can rebuild the model, or something else, we must do this work.

    OR - is simply not the best way to configure the VM?  If not, what Sysprep?

    Good news, but first, I would really like to know where the log files are on which server to the OsCustomization process.

    I decided to reverse engineer and create a CSOS within vCeneter and once I got to work, I kept creating new CSO via PowerCli until I could get that to work, create a new virtual machine.  Once I got this to work, I have tryied to apply on a cloned vm, with no parameters. I got it works too.  I tried to go back to my original image, but I couldn't get this to work.  Something's wrong with this picture.  He wrath that the problem was related to the permissions on the local client.

    New OSCustomizationSpec - OrgName company OSType - Windows - ChangeSid-Server "vcenter.dom.com" - name PowerCliOnly4 - persistent administrator-Type FullName - AdminPassword! password123 - zone "Eastern (USA and Canada)" AutoLogonCount - 3 - domain dom dadmin - DomainUsername - DomainPassword! password123 NamingScheme - vm-Description "PowerCli Use only" - confirm: $false

    This seems to be very picky.  Because the area is one of the parameters, you cannot put it in the DomainUsername, no dom\dadmin. The part that I really want to know how to get more, is what happens if your vm has a different local administrator as the administrator account.  It turns out that FullName - is not the account that it to connect locally with tires.

    I think that it is good to know that the virtual machine reboot 4 or 5 times as it goes through this process.  It breaks is you try and do something for the virtual machine that interrupt the process.  I don't know that I'll think more questions in a second.

    In addition, it cost he had some problems with the put between quotation marks, single or double around the password, but I did not check this again, I just know that once I took them, he began to work.  I ran on other issues while testing as I was using a single IP address, so if I do not disable the test VM, the following would not work because of the conflct network, maybe I shouldn't admit that... lol

  • HDD USB not recognized as "physical1" when creating the new virtual machine

    Hi all

    I wanted to create a new virtual machine, and I wanted to use my USB as a physical drive.

    But Workstation shows me "physical0" which is of course my drive internal.

    I tried USB pen drives. They are not recognized either.

    This somehow is no longer supported? I would have that it would be possible to use USB external HDD as the physical drive to a new virtual machine.

    you have installed VirtualBox?

    If so, you can try to use the virtuaklbox command line tool to create a descriptor of rawdisk for this disc.

    say diskpart on this drive? -It is "online"?

  • Suggestion on Vcenter DB migration on the new virtual machine and enhancement vcenter server

    Hello

    I'm looking for any suggestion/plan with Vcenter DB migration steps towards the new virtual machine, and then upgrade the server vcenter

    4.1 for Update1/2

    My plan will be

    (1) creating new virtual machine.

    (2) fresh install 64-bit OS

    (3) migration Vcenter DB of the physical server to the new virtual machine.

    (4) upgrade to Vcenter Server 4.1 update 41 4.1 Update1/2

    Anything else missing then please let me know.

    Thank you

    vmguy

    Hi vmguy

    I agree with this approach

    (3) migration Vcenter DB of the physical server to the new virtual machine.

    As long as you leave the old DB in tact and simply detach and copy the DB to the new Victoria Cross.

    Before you run the upgrade on the new VC and DB.

    This way, you have a restoration plan in case something goes wrong with the upgrade.

    Just to add:

    You must migrate the ADAM database so to maintain the specified permissions vCenter

    See: Migrateing vCenter new host

    Please allow points if you find this useful/correct

    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...

    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

  • How to specify the file of virtual hard disk when you create a new virtual machine using virtual hard disk on the data store?

    I'm new to PowerCLI and find quite simple, but in the documentation I read, I don't see how to use a virtual hard drive, existing on a data store when you create a new virtual machine.

    Is this simple registration on the virtual hard disk, or did I miss something?

    My current create VM is the following statement:

    New-VM

  • VMware workstation, crashes when I try to create a new virtual machine

    Hello

    I never had this problem before, but I didn't create a new virtual machine in a very long time. Last time I created one was making Workstation 9 I think. Some time after the upgrade to Workstation 10 or 8.1 of Windows Update 1 it has started.

    In 10 Workstation running on Windows 8.1, I select the file > new Virtual Machine dialog coming upwards and in a few seconds crashes of VMware workstation and closes.

    So I checked the Windows event logs and find

    Warning "VMware Workstation to function properly, must be reinstalled after the upgrade to Windows."

    So, I upgraded from 10.0.2 to 10.0.3 and it uninstalled and reinstalled but I still get this warning.

    Well, I found the problem.

    I had mounted some ISO in the past and they have made the entry in this file of preferences such as "isoLocationMRUx".

    I'd change the leter this ISO file player so they could not be found as input, once I corrected the paths I can now create a new virtual machine.

  • Could not start the new virtual machine or VM remove a data store

    Hi guys,.

    I'm not new with ESXi, but my knowledge with vCenter and Clustering must be improved, so here's my problem.

    We have a Cluster of 2 ESXi 4.1 hosts on a San with 2 VMFS.

    My first problem is when I created a new virtual machine and try to start it, I got an error message similar to the one included with this post.

    My Second problem is more picky. Since I am unable to start my new virtual machine, I had removed from drive and I had created a new. But when I took a peek in the data store where was deleted VM, the directory with all the files are still there. When I try to delete it, I got an error message telling me that it is impossible to proceed.

    Q please?

    Best regards

    82% of failure can be other issues.  The article below

    http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1006052

    Also, I saw, where bad records DB for your ESXi hosts can cause weird problems as well.  The host with the problematic guest, can you do a right click on it and "disconnect"?  Try to get out of the bunch at the data center level.  If you get an error vCenter, that means return folder DB.  From there, while the host is in a disconnected state, remove the host to vCenter, then "add host". This will update the DB record.  Maybe worth it?
