Creation of computer virtual using Power CLI

Hello

I'm attaching to deploy virtual computer using power CLI but I get the error like below below:

I use the script below to deploy the VM model exisitin

New-vm-name testvm005 - VMhost home - model TMPL_W2K3_STD_SP2_R2_x86 - datstorename - OSCustomizationspec-W2K3-ENT-R2-SP2 data store - 32 bit

New - VM: 25/05/2011 10:37:09 New-VM parameter specified ' Templa
you ' expect a single value, but your name criteria "TMPL_W2K3_STD_SP2_R2_x86" c
orresponds to multiple values.

Can somone help out me on this...

It seems that if you have more than 1 model with that name in your vCenter.

Make one

Get-model

to check it out.

If you want to use a specific template, you will need to find a distinctive feature.

Suppose for example that the model that you want to use is located in a folder named MyTemplates, then you can do

$template = get-Template-name TMPL_W2K3_STD_SP2_R2_x86-location (Get - file - name MyTemplates)

New-vm-name testvm005 - VMhost home - model $template Datastore - datstorename - OSCustomizationspec W2K3-ENT-R2-SP2 - 32-bit

  • Error saving a computer virtual using Vizioncore VrangerPro GUI in ESX3.5

    Hi guys

    I'm quite new in the world of VMware please exuse my ignorance.

    I'm trying to back up a machine virtual on ESX1 (we have two boxes of ESX) (ESX1 & ESX2)

    I get the error which I enclose the image when I run a backup for a computer virtual located on ESX1 via Vizioncore VrangerPro

    Error: Unable to connect to the destination. Error: gateway for esx1 ESX host. ___. _ has not been configured.

    If the same machine to migrate ESX2, it works fine.

    Now the only thing that has changed on the ESX1 is because we have forgotten the root password, we had to restart the ESX1 to reset the password so that I can PuTTY in the cosole.

    Everything else works fine on ESX1. I checked in the configuration of routing and DNS, and they are exactly the same on ESX1 and ESX2.

    I can start and stop VMs on ESX1, migrate ESX2 etc.

    Looking at the picture the guy would be able to guide me in the right direction

    I'll be very grateful.

    OK, how do you reset the value of the gateway on ESX_1?  Maybe you just need to "trick" the connection vRanger thinking that it has been fixed, try to make the empty bridge, then set back.

    We vRanger connection but never seen this error, but the message may there is a value in a conf file that is not defined, and reset this value may reset these files?

    And in my experience, you cannot send them email, you have to call them.  They are much quicker to respond via the phone.

  • Helps the computer virtual using RDP to external network connection

    Having a problem that I can't work. ill try to describe the best possible.

    In another place where I am, I have a Pc Win7 Workstation 10, a Server2012 virtual machine.

    Virtual network is configured as NAT (that's how I need it to be).

    Can't RDP from Win7 computer from desktop to the Server2012 no problem...

    I'm not able to Setup is RDPing to my position here, through the router there using IP: port


    Ive tried by implementing redirects the port on the router to the virtual computer, but can't make it work.

    Anyone know how to get this working?

    You have allowed incoming traffic on port tcp 44000 on PC WIN7? Entering rules, any program, 44000, Protocol TCP port destination and source port type everything.

    Important can be the source port can be everything. Check it too much on the ROUTER.

    Is that you don't have a second PC in your local network connected to the ROUTER? Here, you can test it and exclude from the ROUTER config.

    The 'port 44000 shoot' is part of the NAT function on the virtual network of VMware. The important thing is that tcp port 44000 must be authorized in the PC WIN7 firewall.

    I don't know for certain that the transposition of the NAT is good, but it would still be possible to run the following on the PC WIN7 cmd session:

    mstsc /v:192.168.1.10:44000

    When you try to connect from a MAC client there is need of some more changes on the 2012R2 of Windows Server: could not connect to Windows 2012 R2 overview of the remote desktop for MAC 2.1.1

    Thanks for your help

    If you make a file text VMs.txt with on each line the name of a virtual computer that you want to update, you can update all these virtual machines VMware tools with:

    Get-Content -Path VMs.txt | `
    ForEach-Object { Update-Tools -VM $_ -NoReboot }

  • How to change the settings of computer Image virtual using VI SDK 4

    Hello

    All the

    I just wanted to know how to change the setting of Image of computer virtual using VI SDK 4

    Setting virtual machine Image could be (memory setting etc.)

    (1) Yes (If yes or no do you while the virtual machine is online is totally based on the question of whether the operating system supports or not)

    (2) I don't know what ' TTL you are referring?

    I would say take a look at the previous documents, I've linked to familiarize yourself with what you can do and another great reference point is the vSphere API itself doc: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/index.html and make use of Research to see what properties/attributes are available on the entities/objects.

    Do a system restore. Choose at least 3 days ago when you did not have this problem as your restore point.

    Start button > Search box, type system restore > press the Enter key > uac prompt > click on choose a different restore point > next > select dates as your restore point, until the click > next > finish
    To sit and wait. The machine restarts when it's done.

  • Find the computer virtual with the Multiwriter setting is enabled

    Hello

    How do you check the VM a multi burner enbaled definition, can you please help me with any script (power cli) for a list of the virtual computer with the multiwriter parameter is enabled. I know he presents in the .vmx file, but it is difficult to verify vmx file all virtual machines, and 'change settings > Options > advanced > General > Configuration settings " is grayed out for powered on VM, so I'm not able to check"Configuration settings "to check the settings of multi writer.


    Thank you...

    Try this excerpt:

    Get - VM | Select Name, @{N = "Multi-writer?"; E = {Get-AdvancedSetting - entity $_______ |?} { $_. {{{Value - like "* multi-writer *"}}}

    If the virtual machine has a scsiX:Y.sharing = ' multi-writer ' configuration setting, the setting is listed.

  • Are there problems in the creation of a virtual machine in VMware Workstation or Server and then move it to ESXi?

    Hello

    I intend to pass our mailserver's current installation of Windows Server 2003 running on native hardware in a Windows Server 2008 running in a virtual machine on ESXi.

    This is the same machine as we will reuse so I would prefer to be able to create the virtual machine on a different computer and test it before wiping Windows and install ESXi. Are there problems with the creation of the virtual machine in VMware Server and then migrate to ESXi using VMware Converter? I won't if the result is not a 'perfect' virtual machine that performs as well as if it had been created on ESXi from the beginning.

    All our other VMs were created on ESXi from the beginning.

    Kind regards

    René Frej Nielsen

    If you are not sure, you can load VMware Server 2 and then install ESXi in it and test your configuration.  Do all this from your desktop (as it is decent).  You can also do in my computer.  A quick google search should give you all the information you need to get something like this configuration.

  • No video input for monitor and powerless keyboard - computer has the power

    My computer of girls, with the XP system, has the power (power light flashing & the fan) but the monitor receives no video entry and keyboard is dead.  I tried another monitor, but still no video input.  Suggestions for remedy to appreciate.  Thank you, Pat J

    You are more than welcome to help.

    I don't want to throw another curve ball, but I was working on a computer the other day who had the same symptoms as your daughter. The computer would turn on but nothing on the screen. I replaced the graphics card and still no dice. I don't know what made me do but I removed one of the sticks of ram and bam! The graphics was back. This isn't the way that computers are supposed to work. Either the graphics or the ram of the computer must issue codes beep on startup when a component fails. Beep codes each model represents a different problem. I guess what I mean here is you can try to remove one of the sticks of ram and then start the computer. Repeat for each stick. If you intend to go inside a computer, unplug the power cord to the computer before opening the case to work inside. With his unplugged cable press and hold the button for 10 seconds. Make sure that you do not work in an area with carpet covered floor. Repeat these steps each time that you turn off to check a different key. If the icons still do not appear, you are left to try a new graphics card. The one I linked to is a decent card at a fair price. However, if check you with you parts used computer repair shop (not these geeks of department store) you can find out who sells. Tiny most computer stores sell these items and they are generally tested before being put on sale.
