• 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

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

• 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

  Eddie

  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.

• Through host SCSI tape drive to the virtual computer with the backup software installed in the comments

  Can I attach an external SCSI tape drive to one of my hosts, and then add it as a device in a virtual machine.

  I want to use backup exec on a virtual machine, rather than having to have a separate physical server to attach the tape drive. I realize that I wouln't be able to vmotion the guest but as its only going to be a backup machine I am happy with that.

  Thanks in advance,

  Yes is possible.

  I have a Dell TL2000 with a dedicated SAS card and it works (not faster than in a real environment, but works).

  You add the SCSI ID of the tape (and the library, if any) to the virtual machine.

  Or, if your hardware can he take charge, using VMDirectPath and give the card on the virtual computer.

• Re-create the virtual computer after the failure of the host

  Hi all

  Yesterday I encounter a questions that I struggle to deal with approprietly:

  Some old 3.5 host crashed and after reboot, one of the virtual machine (ubuntu) has been corrupted or issued in the inventory. Normally remove inventory

  and re - register always help again--this time, after removing the inventory - there is no vm file - only content on screen attached.

  I have searched for solutions, but since I did not compatible vmdk - I do not know what first?

  Prospects for some advice...

  Thanks in advance!

  

  I would start by searching other stores of data for the VMX file or in a directory with the same name that the VM - if you don't think I'd attempt to rebuild the virtual machine, but instead of creating a new virtual I slelect use an existing disk and point to the - delta file that is a snapshot.

• How to develop the drive to the virtual computer with snapshot

  On workstation 10, I installed the development tools to a snapshot of the virtual machine and ran very low disk space. Can I group or hidden the snapshot on a virtual machine so I can increase the size of the virtual disk of reference?

  Thank you

  Scott

  the vmx file still has the old vmdk - you must change the setting that lists the vmdk file.
  When this is not enough post the vmx file.

  By the way - don't worry about errors you received.
  WS 10 reads in all possible paths for the configuration files and as earlier versions did not complain if we were not present the new version complains.
  I doubt that any default installation can run vdiskmanager without mistakes - if you don't like mistakes: create empty files in each path that has been mentioned

• VDI connect to the virtual computer with multiple NICs, use wrong address

  Strange question, we are the double of a VM to autoguiding.  Each NIC is on a different network, and it works very well.  Except when you sign out of the VM with a zero client.  If both network adapters is enabled through the vsphere, zero client the client tries to connect to the virtual machine using a wrong address.  He will try to use the address 172.16.x.x, but the life of the virtual machine and is stored on 192.168.x.x network.  Is there a way to make the NETWORK on 192.168.x.x address network card that zero the client tries to connect?

  Using the network-> Advanced-> advanced-> tab connections maps and links, move the 192.168.x.x network adapter to the top of the list of connections.

• Way to clone the virtual computer with using VMIC

  Hi all

  Y at - it options CLI to create a clone of a virtual machine without assistance from any infrastructure customer. It will be useful if the clone is a linked clone. I created a clone by copying the VMDK file and then I used VMIC. But, I'm looking for some commands, so this will be helpful when I wanted to create several clones.

  Thank you for your help in advance.

• 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)

• 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.

  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'.

• 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.

• How can I type of NETWORK adapter in the virtual computer a vCloud?

  I'm trying to write a script that compares the type of NETWORK card in vCloud NIC type in vCenter to work around a bug in vCloud 1.5.  I can get the type of NETWORK adapter in the virtual computer a vCenter by getting the vCenter VM up and running:

  For the moment, I get the type of NIC the vCloud himself database vCloud.  Thanks for any help.

  I use VMware vSphere PowerCLI 5.1 Release 1 build 793510

  I could tell you where to find it, but there is a bug in the API that shows only as PCNET32 anyway (sleep if she could be VMXNET3). Keep doing what you're doing with the database query.

  See you soon,.
