Deploy the new virtual machine with version 7 on vSphere HW 5
Hello
Is there a parameter / method of new virtual machines with the 7 deplpy (and NOT HW version 8) hardware on a vSphere host version 5?
We currently have a mixed cluster (vSphere 4.0 U2 & 5.0 U1 Hosts) with activated automatic DRS.
NB. I found that 1.5 vCloud Director boasts a version of VM HW (v7 or v8) framework that is useful for mixed clusters. I hope that vSphere itself may have a similar setting.
Yes, it is certainly possible. Simply select "Custom" in the "New VM" Wizard and you will be able to decide which version HW (7 or 8) you want to use for this virtual machine.

Creation of the new virtual machine with DPM
I currently have DPM running on my cluster. I have a script that will automatically create VMS and deploy them for me. However, sometimes the implementation of the virtual machine is on a host that is on standby, and the script fails. How can I make sure that the script chooses a host that is powered on? I have the DrsAutomationLevel - value 'FullyAutomated' in my script. The code I use below, is what creates the virtual machine.
$vm= New-VM -name $Server_Name NumCPU - 1 -DiskMB 40960 -DrsAutomationLevel FullyAutomated MemoryMB - 2048 -ID 'winNetEnterpriseGuest' CD -:$true -data store $datastore -$vmhost $vmhost
I don't know what is the issue.
Hello, drwoodberry-
You can manage this first, getting a host that is in a connected state, then use this host for the parameter - VMHost to New - VM. So, as:
## get a VMHost that is connected$hostToUse = Get-Cluster myCluster | Get-VMHost | ?{$_.ConnectionState -eq "Connected"} | Get-RandomNew-VM -Name ..
.. -VMHost $hostToUse Enjoy.

create a new virtual machine with the default settings?
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...
Thanks in advance

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

After purchase, installation and activation Fusion 6 with the license key, I had a library of VMS showing 2 Boot Camp partitions. It's strange that I only have 1.
I tried to activate them but received a message that it is out of date in 2 cases. (see annex 1)I started a new virtual machine with a Windows 7 installation disc directly on my HD. I have provided a way to do this and followed the instructions of Fusion to the screen.
Apparently, everything went well and after several restarts, the installation appears to be over (see annex 2) I tried to open and run the installed Windows 7. I had however a window with the following message:
"Pending the unit.
"VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit. Please wait until the unit starts automatically, or interact with the virtual machine below. ' (see annex 3)
Here Windows 7 seems to start but after a while with the home screen and of the Øresund finishing this window closed and open a new window called library Virtual Machine on the left showing the partitions of Bootcamp and the Virtual Machine Windows 7 x 64 and in the middle gray a representation of what is supposed to be the Windows 7 desktop. (see Exhibit 4). When I opened the settings button a window with different setting options pops up. This mark means to me that Windows is installed but the final opening isn't the case
When you quit Vmware Fusion indeed Windows seems to be close (see part 5)
What is going on? What has gone wrong? What should I do? I don't know how to solve the problem.
I should f.i. remove the virtual machine from Windows 7 and is free automatically made partition on my HD as the reboot with the Windows installation disc? or y at - it another way to enter the UNIT?
Help, please!
Thanks in advance
Your virtual machine is running. It is in the unit - which each windows gets its own window of Mac - and you have no application Windows running, there is no visible windows. You can start a Windows application in the start of Fusion menu in the menu bar at the top right, or turn on the Windows task bar on the view menu and start applications from there. Or use the view menu to switch to the Single mode or full-screen, which puts all of your Windows desktop in a window separate from Mac.
You do not have two partitions to Boot Camp on your Mac, you have two virtual machines named "Boot Camp partition".
The message about it being unable to enter the unit arrives while the merger is pending for the tools begin to run, because the tool is necessary for the unit.

. ISO is grayed out when you try to make the new Virtual Machine
I recently downloaded fusion VM 5 and I am trying to make a virtual machine for windows 7 without using a disc. I use an .iso file that is saved on my mac. When I'm in the new virtual machine Wizard and go click win7.iso I can't because the text and thumbnail are grayed out and won't do anything. Help, please.
The page you are showing has noting to do with the installation of an ISO Image, it takes to with the virtual hard disk. The ISO Image is assigned to the CD/DVD in the settings of the Virtual Machine if you don't select it in the wizard at the beginning.
Documentation (integrated help file).
1 Select file > new.
2 the new Virtual Machine Assistant starts.
3 click on continue without disc to go to the installation media Panel.
4 in the installation media Panel, click on the image or use operating system installation disc.
5. use the drop-down menu to locate the file .iso for the operating system.

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

Deploy a new virtual machine from a template
Is there a workflow avaiable to deploy a new virtual machine from a template? I tried using the Clone Virtual Machine, no workflow customization but receive an error saying, "task"CloneVM_Task"error: a specified parameter was not correct."
"Spec.Location.pool (name of the dynamic Script Module: vim3WaitTaskEnd #20).When I use a template as a source of VM.
I can't find any documents pointing to the deployment of the model.
Hello
It's the right workflow, but you must provide a pool of valuable resources for this workflow. If you do not resource pools, it can be shown in a vCO to root in the inventory (vCenter does not work).

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.

Defining the new Virtual Machine
When you set the new Virtual Machine, what is the size of the virtual disk to specify? (Default value is 8GB) Should we check "Allocate all disk space now" option?
No, this hard disk space actually leaves your portable office/computer hard drive free space.
Look at your free space of the desktop and then add a new hard drive with 30 concerts or more. Check again, and note that this space has disappeared. Then you can just delete it and it comes back.
Yes, just use the ' Add ' button.
If you find this information useful, please give points of
'correctness '.
or "useful."

Hi all
I am a newbie so please forgive if this is a stupid question...
Can I deploy the same virtual machine (XP Pro), with the same machine name and the same GUID for several machines on a network without going through issues such as errors of names duplicate etc. Or will I sysprep prior to deployment. If so, is there an easier way to do it?
Not sure if this is important, but I need to use Bridged networking due to problems with our personal firewall.
You will need to deal with the dupe GUID. Sysprep is a method.

Error during communication with the remote host when you create the new virtual machine
I'm under 7 ESX servers on IBM Blade H22 there is a mistake to invite while I create a new virtual machine
on the vcenter Server
At the end of 30-35 minutes, it gives an error
"Error during communication with the remote host"
The existing machines are working well... I tried to create virtual machines to other ESX servers as well
but the same question. I also tried to make the clone of existing machines, but without success
Can anyone help?
You rescan the LUNS once?
You've restarted the management agent?
You've restarted the vpxa?
If this isn't the case, please perform the step above and check out them.

Plan for the creation of new virtual machine with 3 TB data drive
We have an old server, we need to virtualize, and one thing that we need is a lot more storage. We have approximately 3.25 TB of available for this machine (250 GB for the OS and 3 to for the data drives), but I'm going in circles trying to find the best approach for this server. It is not possible to separate the data between several players because of the way the files are indexed. I have created a virtual machine with 2 TB of disk space (for the readers of OS and data) and added 1.25 TB of disk space I want to add on the data reader, but it does not seem possible to add 1.25 TB without destroying the data on the first disk of 2 TB. What is the best approach? Create a single disc for my virtual machine that is 250 GB and then add in two separate disks of 1.5 TB for storage and combine them within Windows?
Thanks for your suggestions.
Hello
Unfortunately, the maximum size of virtual disk to a virtual computer is 2 TB - 512 bytes. In you case it should create two or three separate virtual disks and combine them (disks RAID 0 or concatenate). Another way (IMHO besser way) is to create several virtual drives and mount using NTFS mount points.
An example:
C:\Data is a folder on one of the virtual disks. Create a second virtual disks and create the C:\Data\Data2 folder. Rather than assign a drive letter for the newly created disk, you can mount it in the Database2 folder. This gives you the ability to move the largest files on separate virtual drives without lose you the structure of folders.
Kind regards

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-VMI 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.

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.

Version: 1I 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

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
Stéphane
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?
