• 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

  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.

  Enjoy

• New-VM creates a false for WINXP (Buslogic instead of LSI Logic) SCSI controller

  Hello

  I m using VI Toolskit 1.5 to create a few VM´s

  the pretty run´s script, but using '-ID winXPProGuest "creates a virtual machine with surprised I m, 0 Buslogic SCSI controller EXPECTED that result should be LSI Logic

  CODE:

  new-vm-host $VMHost - name $VMName - diskmb $DiskSize - memorymb $Memory - Networkname $Networkname - data $Datastore store - ID winXPProGuest - runasync

  Some ideas?

  Greetings JB01

  You should be able to create it as a guest of Vista, which will give you an LSI controller. If you need you can come back later and change the ID invited with Set - VM - ID. This will not change the type of controller.

• SCSI - LSI Logic v logical Bus controllers

  Hello

  Can someone answer the following two questions:

  1. When you select a typical construction when creating a new virtual machine is the scsi controller LSI or Bus logic?

  2. What are the benefits of using LSI on Bus and vice versa?

  1. When you select a typical construction when creating a new virtual machine is the scsi controller LSI or Bus logic?

  It depends on the OS you choose.

  Old windows use Buslogic, new use LSI Logic

  2. What are the benefits of using LSI on Bus & vice versa?

• Create a virtual computer model using the Windows Client (c#) function?

  
  The windows-based client can create VM templates?  I created a VM Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and I would use it as a model for all the virtual machines that follow.  However, I have not yet created the vCenter Server VM but want to use the W2012R2 virtual machine as its base.  I don't see how with the customer I have.  Can if not a model, I simply duplicate the VM?  I don't want to use this machine virtual first for vCenter Server and then create a new one from scratch for use as a model.

  To create templates and clone virtual machines, you will need vcenter server in place, but you can use alternative means to clone this virtual machine to use as a basis for vCenter, take a look at this blog post: cloning a virtual machine without vCenter in ESXi free edition 5.1 | Curiosity killed the cat

• Change the type of scsi controller / windows7Server64Guest and LSI Logic SAS

  Hello

  I would like the parallel to sas LSI Logic scsi LSI logic controller type.

  the reason is this colleague has created an image of windows 2008 R2 and I want to install the machine in script.

  He used LSI Logic SAS.

  When I used PowerCLi for create a new virtual machine with the existing drive, he created with the LSI Logic parallel...

  (of course I change it manually, but I would like to completely automate the installation)

  could someone help me on this?

  Thank you very much in advance

  Fred

  Have you ever watched the SCSI adapater to paravirtual with PowerCLI change ?

  Instead of the VMware.Vim.ParaVirtualSCSIController you select the VMware.Vim.VirtualLsiLogicSASController object.

  Let me know that make you it work if I can post a sample.

• What is the best way to move the node for virtual device to an IDE SCSI hard drive?

  I used PowerCLI on vSphere 5.0 5.5.

  I'm deploying VMDK that were created with a switch in Ghost from Symantec, which by default is the HDD to IDE interface.  How can I change the HD of IDE, SCSI using PowerCLI?

  We also seek to regenerate the VMDK with the correct setting in Ghost, but maybe it's not feasible.

  I looked at the post below, which seems close, but don't tell me how to change the Type as the disk ID number.

  Sort of put the virtual device node / drive SCSI ID?

  When I look at the vmdk on the host for the virtual machine, I can see that the ddb.adapterType field is set to "ide" and KB 1016192 - conversion of an IDE virtual disk to a virtual SCSI disk

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1016192

  I need to have the value of "free", but I can't manually change the vmdk file.

  In addition, the hard drive has the VM operating system already installed on it, so I don't want to just remove it.

  Another related problem is that I can not put the type of SCSi LSI Logic SAS controller LSI Logic parallel (Windows VMs does not start if it has the value LSI Logic SAS). I just get an error "inconsistent backup specified for device 0.

  Appreciate any ideas.

  I thought that I would come back and update this post.  I got it works by changing a setting when I create the VMDK.

  I changed the way I created the VMDK via the Symantec ghost32.exe (version 11.5?) application by adding the following switch:

  -vmdkAdapter = free

  Ghost32-clone, mode = restoration, src = 'SRC %', dst = "% DEST" - vmdkAdapter free course =

  It worked for my Windows 2008 VMDK, don't know what he'll do for any other type.

  At the end of the day, I have never able to edit the VMX of PowerCLI file, although I got close enough.

  Regarding PowerCLI, I think I have corrupted files on the ESXi server and could never get around it. The steps were roughly as follows

  1. the Copy-DatastoreItem cmdlet to copy the file vm.vmx on the desktop of the local computer

  "2 use Get-Content to read file and change ddb.adapterType ="ide"with ddb.adapterType. =" free ".

  3. copy a ConvertTo-LinuxLineEnding cmdlet from the internet and remove CR/LF characters to the BYTE level; because nothing else has worked.  I still don't think it worked 100%.

  4 copy-DatastoreItem to copy the vmx file to the directory of the virtual machine.

  The vmx file has the correct setting and looks ok, but I think something is broken here, because when I use the VI Client to look at the data store, there are only 2 files in the directory. I don't know which more.

  5 remove-hard drive

  6 New-hard drive - vm $vmObj - diskpath "[datastoreName] vm/vm.vmdk", at this point, I get "the path of the specified disc is inaccessible or does not exist.  It is probably because I have damaged the structure of files on the data store.

  When I delete the virtual computer in the VI Client, I can remove it with success, but I have to manually delete the directory on the data store using skip
  Control data store.

• Convert virtual disk from IDE to SCSI now Server 2008 does not start

  Hi all

  I hope that one of you guys can solve my problem.

  I'm new to vmware and have managed to convert my 2008 physical server to a virtual server, but when this virtual disk has been set to IDE, I read that I need to use SCSI for better performance then I attributed a new virtual disk to my server and clone the IDE hard drive on the SCSI disk using EASEUS disk copy software.

  After I cloned the drive I removed the IDE hard disk but my server continues to display the BSOD 0x0000007b error (inaccessible boot volume). I can't start normally or through safe mode. If I try to use the recovery mode no drives appear.

  I use the LSI Logic SAS controller type and have tried the parallel LSI Logic Controller without result.

  Is it possible to fix my guest operating system, without having to reinstall?

  Thank you very much

• New hard drive fails on Windows Server 2008 VM with LSI Logic SAS SCSI controller

  When I try to add a new hard disk to a virtual computer with the cmdlet New-disk hard of a Windows Server 2008 virtual computer, I get the following error:

  New-hard drive: 18/01/2010-14:59:48 New-B8EDFDDF-ACF6-43AC-B111-51D332290FC7 hard drive for the entity vm-315 failed with the following message: "Number of virtual devices exceeds the maximum for a given controller."

  When assigning a different virtual machine, for example the parallel LSI Logic Controller, it is not a problem at all. When I add additional disks using the VI Client, there also no problem, regardless of the SCSI controller I use.

  Someone had this problem as well? Y at - it a known solution?

  Hi rengelen,

  I admit that I was pretty murky about when the fix will be available. The thing is that VMware has a policy that employees should not mention liberation time unless we are certain that we can keep his promise of 100%. Hence statemens as 'will be available in a future release.

• LSI Logic or BusLogic SCSI controller

  Hello

  We have ESX3.5 Update2.

  All WIN2000 / NT VM machines have BusLogic, but WIN2003 and linux Debian have de LSI Logic SCSI controller.

  Is this correct?

  When you use BusLogic and LSI Logic SCSI controller?

  What are the differences?

  There is a great doc that explains the differences between virtual SCSI adapters. Hope this helps.

• How to create a computer virtual file VHD using VMWare Player?

  I created a .vhd file using disk2vhd which contains my drive system (a Windows 7 installation). I would like to create a virtual machine using VMware Player of this image, but I have been unable to do. Can someone help me?

  Thank you very much

  Mike

  You were quite right about the execution of my VM from an external drive USB - no problem at all.

  Today experiences confirm that:

  (a) I can run my VMS on Windows 7 and Windows 8 from an external USB

  (b) VMPlayer can create files hard greater than 2 TB in size (on Windows 7 and Windows 8 guests)

  (c) I can't reach my Data.VHDX file on my Windows 8 host

  (d) I can set up as a shared folder inside my VM on Windows 8

  (e) I can copy files from the shared folder to a drive on my virtual machine.

  Certainly, this closes this discussion - thanks a lot for your help.

• Create a virtual machine using an existing backup [EXSi 5.0.0]

  Hello

  I've looked everywhere to find a thread that explains me to reach higher. Our ESXi is currently a backup copy using ghettoVCB and store it on an external NAS. I know that I can simply restore a backup virtual computer by using the same script, because it supports.

  But what I want to achieve is to create a separate entrance to the virtual machine by using an existing backup. I'm pretty there is a way, but I now know how to because I'm fairly new to ESXi and learn things slowly.

  All advise you will be highly appreciated and thank you in advance.

  Hello

  I finally managed to do that. I should tried before posting this discussion, but somehow he's ready now. Back to ESXi users who are finding similar questions or have a confusion on how to achieve this, you can see below the process and this;

  1. Before you copy, make sure that you have appropriate files related to the virtual machine (there should be a .vmx, hard & sometimes flat hard-000)
  2. Copy the folder to the location of data store where is your VM (generally, it will be under/vmfs/volumes/yourdatastore) using ssh and WinSCP (a tool to connect in ftp/sftp/scp).
  3. Once copied into the data store, go to the data store by visiting configuration > store > select the data store & access your virtual machine directory, then simply add the .vmx file to the inventory by clicking on the right (Note: do this when you are connected to the ESXi using vCenter IP which is the recommended way to do).

  I hope this helps!

• create a virtual machine using createVM_Task

  Hello

  I extracted the configuration information of the VM (VirtualMachineConfigInfo []) and the use of I want to create a virtual machine (essentially wants to fill [VirtualMachineConfigSpec]).

  For the property '[of] deviceChange.device"in VirtualMachineConfigSpec, can I directly copy the information from the device of ' harware.device [of] ' VirtualMachineConfigInfo property. Will this work?

  I have two more questions:

  1 cant explain peripheral information by default (like PS2Controller/SIO controller, etc.) in VirtualMachineConfigSpec when calling CreateVM_Task()?

  2. is it compulsory for negative values(-ve) values for controller/key relationships?

  Thank you

  -Rambeau

  > For the property '[of] deviceChange.device"in VirtualMachineConfigSpec, can I directly copy the information from the device of ' harware.device [of] ' VirtualMachineConfigInfo property. Will this work?

  Lol it can be copied directly to "deviceChange.device" in VirtualMachineConfigSpec. Also, there could be other problems as well, like the support information will be common to both machines. So, at a time, you will be able to use only 1 VM. It will be not as trivial this may seem.

  > 1. Cant explain peripheral information by default (like PS2Controller/SIO controller, etc.) in VirtualMachineConfigSpec when calling CreateVM_Task()?

  Yes, you can specify default devices information (like PS2Controller/SIO controller, etc.) in VirtualMachineConfigSpec. The 'deviceChange.device' is a data object "VirtualDevice. This data object is extended by the class 'VirtualController '. It's even wider by the following classes:

  'VirtualIDEController', 'VirtualPCIController', 'VirtualPS2Controller', 'VirtualSCSIController', 'VirtualSIOController', 'VirtualUSBController '.

  You can implement the foregoing classes, assign it to the 'deviceChange.device' of VirtualMachineConfigSpec property and pass it to the CreateVM_Task.

  > 2. Is it mandatory to get negative values(-ve) values for controller/key relationships?

  It is not mandatory to give negative values for the controller and the key. By assigning a negative value, the server assigns self-produced nonnegative unique key for the device. This excludes the possibility to assign a duplicate key, which can cause an error.

  Hope that answers your questions.

• I installed windows 7 on a mac with boot camp and then used parallels to create a virtual machine to run windows inside Mac os10.6. Now he says I need to activate windows again, but he said I need a new activation key. Any ideas would be appreciated

  I installed windows 7 on a mac with boot camp and then used parallels to create a virtual machine to run windows inside Mac os10.6.  Now he says I need to activate windows again, but he said I need a new activation key.  Any ideas would be appreciated

  Yes, you must purchase a full license for the second installation of Windows 7 product key.  1 activation allows only one Windows 7 product key.  Apparently, you now have a second facility that requires a second product key. Carey Frisch

• "Unable to create the virtual SCSI device to the scsi: 0:0" import *. EGGS in ESXi 5.1u2

  Hi, I need to deploy a VM of *.ova in my cluster with 5.1 ESXi hosts u2 (1900470), but when I try to run it I get this error:

  Unable to start the virtual machine.

  Power DevicePowerOn module has failed.

  Unable to create the virtual SCSI device for scsi0:0, ' / vmfs/volumes/51e7fc6b-85806744-fb38-0021286bb22a/xxx.vmdk'

  Unable to create the virtual device. Stack 16 or 255 sectors per track is not supported.

  
  

  The same deployment works in another cluster with 5.1 ESXi hosts (700733) and on my vmware workstation 10.

  I have tryied compatibility material upgrade\downgrade with wmware workstation and download directly to my host but still do not

  I formatted the hard drive hard by ssh and readded to the inventory, I tried to convert vm to work cluster... nothing to see...

  Any suggestions? Thank you

  Solved! I don't know why but the import of virtual machines with 5.1u2 ESXi, heads, and sectors in *.vmdk file are reversed:

  BEFORE:

  ddb.geometry.biosHeads = "16".

  ddb.geometry.biosSectors = "255".

  DDB. Geometry.Heads = "16".

  DDB. Geometry.sectors = "255".

  AFTER:

  ddb.geometry.biosHeads = "255".

  ddb.geometry.biosSectors = "16".

  DDB. Geometry.Heads = "255".

  DDB. Geometry.sectors = "16".

  Connect to a host with SSH and editing *.vmdk file with VI will be the virtual machine starts without problems!
