• How to build a new virtual machine based on cluster with powercli?

  When you create a new virtual machine on cluster in the user interface, you cannot select the host, it is decided by the cluster.

  Now, I want to create a new vm on cluster by powerCli. I have not found any parameter to specify the cluster.

  Only the "$vmhost" to specify the host.

  Why are they so different?

  Can someone help me understand it and how to create a new VM on cluster?

  Thank you in advance!

  Hello, bob1118-

  While, as you said, it has non - Cluster parameter to the cmdlet New - VM, you _can_ effectively specify the cluster at new time of creation of VM via PowerCLI: you specify the list of resources within the desired cluster.  So a partial New - VM call would look like:

  New-VM -Name myNewVM0 -ResourcePool (Get-Cluster myDestinationCluster | Get-ResourcePool -Name "Resources") -Template ...
  

  Who uses the resource pool default "Resources" that exists in a cluster.  And, you could fill in the rest of the parameters relevant to the new virtual machine of your desires.  How do I?

• How to obtain the list of virtual machines in a cluster with the specific name

  Get-Cluster "Group 1" | Get - VM | where {$_.name - eq "owp *"} | Select name

  I've tried to filter the virtual machines with a specific name of a cluster by using a single command line but I am not going do anything...?

  I get results if I just Get-Cluster "Cluster 1' | Get - VM, but I want excluded other virtual machines to help to be enjoyed.

  Use - as instead of-eq

  Get-Cluster 'Cluster 1' | Get-VM | where {$_.name -like "owp*"} | select name
  

• Script of PowerCLI to measure the number of host and its virtual machine in each cluster

  Hello

  I'm trying to create a script on regular which gives an output of the host and virtual machine into a cluster of vcenter as below counties.

  Cluster:                                                      VMHost                         VM's

  Cluster01                                                     04                                  15

  cluster02                                                      02                                  35

  Simply using a sample onliner

  Get-VMHost | Select @{N = "Cl"; {E = {Get-Cluster - VMHost $_}} name, @{N = "NumVM"; E={($_ | Get - VM). County}} | Cluster of kind, name

  any ideas? Thanks in advance

  Kind regards

  Try this:

  Get-Cluster | Select Name, @{N="Host Count"; E={($_ | Get-VMHost).Count}},  @{N="VM Count"; E={($_ | Get-VM).Count}}
  

• Script to create virtual machines fails when you try to add the disk to the cluster data store

  Hello

  Attached is the script that I used to create virtual machines and it works very well when virtual machines are created to warehouses of unique data, but do not have clustered data warehouses. I think that the reason is that it creates the virtual machine through the esx host (who does not know the cluter) and not via vCenter (who knows about it). Unfortunately I do not know how to fix.

  Thank you

  Astra

  Looks like he needs a store of data for this parameter object. So we need to do a get Datastore cluster I can try to test tomorrow, but try this:

  If ($datastore1 - only 'none') {}

  $drscluster = get-DatastoreCluster $datastore1

  $vmadddsk = new-disk-hard - VM $gstname CapacityKB - $datastore1size - data $drscluster store

  }

• Change the host for a virtual machine on a cluster and the host is not in accordance with the attached profile

  Hi all

  I have 02 questions.

  1. we have a cluster which has 02 physical hosts (Host1 and Host2). We have 02 virtual machines on the Cluster. Active DRS on the cluster.

  But the problem is that my 02 VMS are always stays on a Host2. A few weeks ago, each virtual machine carried out on each host. How can I place each virtual machine on each host to perform better.

  How to do this?

  2. I connect to the cluster using vSphere client 5.1, under summer host, I get the following message

  "Configuration problems: host is not in accordance with the attached profile.

  I suspect that this is the case for my question 1?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  I think I found the answer for the problem of home profile. I changed the following values to 1 for each host to > settings > under software > advanced settings >

• A virtual machine or the template with the same name is already registered. Server error: the specified key name or identifier already exists.

  Hi all

  I have a 5.5 esxi server just the a virtual machine running at the moment. I try to clone this as shown below:

  http://nchrissos.WordPress.com/2013/04/22/cloning-a-VM-without-vCenter-in-ESXi-5-1-free-edition/

  However, I get the error:

  A virtual machine or the template with the same name is already registered. Server error: the specified key name or identifier already exists.

  I have no vcenter (yet), and it's just the 1 vm. The virtual machine is turned off. I get this error regardless of the name, I said that when I choose "add to the inventory.

  All advice appreciated.

  Thank you

  Oh dear...
  you read bad advice on the internet and then you get also the stupid advice here.

  Ignore both!

  If you want to clone a virtual machine by copying - do it like this:

  Create new virtual machine with the wizard.
  Skip creating a disk for new customers.

  In Datastorebrowser copy the original vmdk to the new dir, which has been created by the wizard.
  Reopen the new VM and edit - assign the vmdk that you just copied.

  The procedure of the blog is not supposed to work.
  Sissine trick doesn't make sense either

• Destination area has VMware player 3.1.4. Not possible to run a newly created virtual machine.

  For the first time, I tried to virtualize my machine using VMware vCenter Converter Standalone. The destination machine has VMware Player installed 3.1.4, so I chose, as a destination having VMware 4.0.x instead of VMware 3.0.x as 3.1.4 overflows 3.0.x. The newly created virtual machine does not under VMware 3.1.4. Is there anyway out of this except can create an another VM using VMware player 3.0.x as the destination machine? Thank you.

  Then, you should be able to simply create a (empty) virtual machine with VMware Player 3.x and then just remove the blank virtual hard drive (hard files) and replace it with the one created with VMware vCenter Converter.

• Virtual Center stops all the virtual machines in a cluster HA

  Hello.

  I have a question about vCenter machine. We have deployed

  VMware ESX 4.0 HA cluster on Server Blade IBM 3. VCenter machine resides

  on a virtual machine on the same cluster. When we tried to recharge a physical switch (in the)

  IBM Blade Center), all our virtual machines on the cluster have been turned off automatically.

  If the vCenter VM is turned off, then everything is fine - the reloading of the

  Switch is not turning off the virtual machines (and the net is ok - start machines

  work through another switch in IBM bladecenter). If the machine vCenter

  powers (manually), all the other machines, which have been put off, are powered

  on too (automatically, of course, with the help of the machine of vCenter). How

  is that what I can adjust the machine vCenter, so it could not power power machines by

  itself automatically?

  ESX 4.0 (162856)

  Hello

  Right-click in your cluster, change the settings. Select 'Virtual Machine Options' under 'Vmware HA' and choose the host response of insulation desired for the entire cluster or individual VM. If you do not have network connections redundant between your ESX machines, you probably want the virtual machine for when you need to do maintenance or your network switch died. You should probably also disable HA while doing maintenance. You should consider to build network redundancy in the case of a production environment.

  I hope that helps!

• Get use of the resources of all virtual machines in a cluster

  Hello

  I have developed a measure of capacity management report that collects all the use of the resources of the virtual machines in a datacenter. The function that collects it looks like this:

  def hostMemoryConsumed =]

  def memoryConsumed = 0.0f

  def memoryGranted = 0.0f

  VMs. each() {}

  VM->

  try {}

  memoryConsumed += vm.host.memory.consumed.current.average / 1024.0f<----- how="" to="" do="" this="" to="" get="" from="">

  memoryGranted += vm.host.memory.capacity.current.average / 1024.0f

  }

  {} catch (NullPointerException e)

  }

  VMS is a function of type parameter VMS VMW

  The works above for virtual machines in the data center, but I need it to be after cluster. I can find a cluster of virtual machines, but I'm having trouble with referring to specific values for example consumed memory and capacity.

  If I change the type parameter: VMW Cluster how the metric reference would look like (see the try {})?

  I don't think that a query will help me.

  Thanks in advance

  Erik Alm

  If you want to do for a cluster, you can just get the list of virtual machines in a cluster of first and passing in your script.  If you have a function for a VMWCluster you can add a parameter for "vmwCluster" that is underneath and it should give you a table (topologyObjects) that has all the virtual machines in the cluster.

  QS = server.get ("QueryService") / / query Service

  tquery = qs.createStatement("!) (' VMWVirtualMachine where esxServer.parent.name = "+" ' "+ vmwCluster +" "" ") .setQueryTopologyObjects (true);

  topologyObjects = qs.executeStatement (tquery) .getTopologyObjects)

• Creation of the virtual machine on a cluster using the vmcreate.pl script

  Hello

  I checked a few posts on this forum on how to create the virtual machine through vmcreate.pl, but responses was not so clear to me...

  These are the topics I've read:

  Create a VM on the Cluster instance

  How to configure the managed object HostSystem

  So, I would like to create a virtual machine on a Cluster, and not on a specific host. The vmcreate.pl script would have done the job? Or should I change it?

  In the topic = > VM create instance on Cluster I did not quite get, what I need to change...

  That's what I do:

  vmcreate.pl - server 'ESX NAME' - username "LOGIN" - password 'PASS' filename - vmcreate.xml - schema vmcreate.xsd

  
  

  Result:

  Creation of the 'myTestMachine ': VM error

  SOAP fault:

  -----------

  Error string: InvalidArgument

  The fault detail: InvalidArgument

  Here are the values of the XML file:

  < name > myTestMachine < / name >

  blah < Home > < / Host >

  blah < Center > < / Center >

  > Guest Id < Linioch < / comment-Id >

  blah < Datastore > < / Datastore >

  The values are correct the cause I checked the other perl scripts.

  Thanks in advance for your help

• creating virtual machines off templates in Lab Manager

  Hello

  I am using vCenter Lab Manager 4.0.

  I have created several models of machine virtual Windows.

  Now, I would like to create virtual machines on these models.

  Am I able to do it. ?

  If so, how can I achieve that. ?

  I checked in the guide, but found no relevant info.

  Maybe I'm missing something.

  Please provide help. !!

  Thank you.

  Santos,

  First of all, make sure that the model is published.  Means published which are can be used as a virtual machine in the current organization.  If you need to use it in another, make sure you share the model to the user / the appropriate organization.

  2. go into your workspace: workspaces > hand

  3. click on the button "new Configuraiton.

  -Add virtual machines

  -Click OK

  4 deploy the configuration.

  Kind regards

• You can edit vmx files on multiple virtual machines in a cluster to allow changes of setting delay start via RCLI or Toolkit VI?

  You can edit vmx files on multiple virtual machines in a cluster to allow changes of setting delay start via RCLI or Toolkit VI? How?

  SAs desire a lead time of 10 seconds through the virtual company composed of several VCs with multiple data centers and clusters.

  Known: we can edit the .vmx file and add: bios.bootDelay = "10000" this adds stunted ms 10000 (10 seconds) when starting

  Known: we may have to re-register or some other mechanism to apply the changes to the start on the VMS settings

  Has anyone tried to make a change of large company to bootDelay on VMS? Any help?

  The script below will do what you want. Have fun.

• How to prevent limited users to create virtual machines?

  Hi all;

  Is it possible to prevent standard users to create Virtual Machines in Microsoft Windows environment?

  Thank you

  Here's the problem I see... as long as the user has the ability to run VMware Workstation, you can't stop creating a VM since everything it takes, it's a TextEditor and a live ISO Image and the other can create a configuration manually, .vmx file that it points to the ISO Image and then double click on the manually created configuration .vmx file and its place and running.  Of course not all users would go to the trouble to create the .vmx file manually but there are scripts on the Internet that do and users have other ways too.

  If you don't have the appropriate infrastructure to control your users then monitor their activities and let them know him will be fired if they contravene the regulations.
