Download machine virtual ESX of ESX1 and copy to ESX2.

Hello

I'm trying to copy a VM ESX comments from the server 1 Server 2.  I tried using VMware Converter 3.0.3 to rename the virtual server, and then copy it into ESX2. Then from then on out, change its host name, and then return to the field as a completely separate server.  However, VMware Converter is not let me import or I'm doing this wrong way?

Scott.

Thanks for the help discovered their was a problem with the vmware agent and he broke during the clone to the virtual machine. Reinstalled VMware Converter and the problem was solved.

Thanks for your help.

  • Weird question on which the machine virtual ESX 3.5i

    Hello world

    I have a question very very weird on 2 x HP DL380 G5 boxes with ESX 3.5i U3 loaded on each.

    The installation program:

    DL380 G5

    2 x Quad core

    2 x 72 GB Raid 1 + 0

    6 x 146 GB Raid5

    32 GB OF RAM

    I installed esx 3.5i u3 according to the normal, created vm. But when I copy data to a network in the virtual machine folder spikes the cpu and the virtual machine does not respond. What makes it worse, is if I copy a large file on the c: to another folder on c: VM does not - high cpu and ping meets about 200ms. vmdk bones all over the 72 GB Raid 1 + 0 datastore. When I add a data from the store of raid5 data drive the same phenomenon occurs. If I copy the c to this drive on the raid 5 data store the virtual machine gets does not and pings hover at about 200ms.

    Any ideas?

    I have no idea why this is happening, Ive deployed the same configuration with a bunch of vm and no problem.

    I don't think its network since you said that you have the same problem copy from c: to c: on the same machine.

    Looks like the machine is waiting for e/s finish. Check if you can see if I/O is blocked somewhere

    Are there messages in the system log of Windows indicating disk problems?

    Check your RAID controller. It is on the HCL?

    Your write cache is configured correctly?

  • From machines virtual ESX 3.5 to 4.0 help

    I need to move virtual machines that reside on a box of ESX 3.5 and put on a case of ESX 4.0 currently.  Virtual machines live on the network so SAN is just as easy to move files to a SAN to another?   Or is it also a process of upgrading involved?    Thanks for the help.

    If you just move the virtual machines to another host SAN and ESX 4 they will run. However, it would be nicer if also upgrade you the hardware of the VMS to version 7 and also upgrade the VMware tools. Do not forget that after upgrading hardware to virtual machines to version 7, you will not be able to bring back the virtual machines on an ESX 3.5 host.

  • SQL 2005 Ent on machine virtual ESX 3.5

    I built a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise VM inside VMware (ESX Server 3.5 Update 3) host. We have Celerra NS20 Unifided EMC storage, which is where the server VM using different LUN. Does anyone have recommendations on installation of SQL 2005 Enterprise on a given server to Win2k3 VM, with regard to the way in which it must be installed in order to get the best performance and reliability... I'm looking for suggestions as SQL must be installed on the drive main hard and stored on a different LUN or SQL databases must be installed on a different LUN of the operating system? I intend setting up a LUN specifically for newspapers, so to keep separated from traffic, but wonder about the base installation of SQL and databases...

    Thanks for any advise you might have.

    It is a big question.  Here are a few things I do in this case...

    • Do not install anything - even the binary SQL on C

    • Prune/use a VMFS RAID5 for the SQL programs and databases on a volume

    • Want/use a VMFS RAID1 for newspapers

    There are 2 important things here.  One is that you have isolated the OS - DB and registers all logical drives different worms.  It is very nice to be able to make a hot grow of these disks

    The other is more for performance.  It depends on how transactional (how'RE Ops / s) the system will be.  In most cases, you should be able to have the other VM to share these same volumes, but changing the RAID level can provide a performance gain based on how the data are accessible.

    I don't know if it would be necessary to isolate a VMFS LUNS () set to the SQL database for a virtual machine.  It is a function of your SAN infrastructure and how hard the VM SQL is hit.

    We have several virtual machines with DB on the same LUN, and so far it hasn't appeared to cause problems.  You can always start with a more conservative approach and slowly add that you feel comfortable.

    Hi all

    How can I leave the two virtual machine see the same SAN LUNS (how can I share same LUNS between two virtual machines).

    Thank you

    Welcome to the Forums - try you two virtual machines in the cluster? If you are this should help - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_mscs.pdf. If you're looking to share a data store I relate to one of the virtual machines and then either through creating CIFS share if they are windows machines or a NFS if Linux

    I have the p9600 (2.66 GHz with 6 MB of cache) in mine.  You can just call and order and ask anything you want.  Sometimes (as in my case) they will have processors that are not yet listed yet.  I think the max is just at 3 GHz.  I usually run 3 VMs at a time, or I'll run my team (4 virtual machines) and another 1 or 2 with them.  I used for my RHCT practice stuff and it will use for my VCP and MCITP Enterprise Administrator practice as well.  I had with Vista x 64, but put Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 on it when he came in (MSDN).

  • Get the list of virtual machines on an ESX host specific and dumping of .csv in a specific format

    I have problems to find a way to get a list of virtual machines on an ESX host specific and then he dumped to a .csv in the following format

    I use the get-vmhost esxhostname | Get - vm

    but everyhting else after, it is where I am lost...  I think the closest I had been posting the output with a goofy header and format 'vm1, vm2, vm3 "...

    name

    computer 1 name

    computer 2 name

    name of the machine 3

    to use for later use.  Any help would be appreciated.

    You must use the Select-Object cmdlet to specify more precisely the properties you want.

    The Export-Csv doesn't know how to manage the virtual computer object.

    Something like that

  • Transfer a Virtual Machine in Esx 2.5 to an ESX 4.1

    Hi all

    For a client, I need to transfer 3 virtual machines on an ESX 2.5 in stand-alone mode (local storage / VMFS2) for a new ESX 4.1 (local storage / VMFS3)

    I'm looking for a solution but without success. I see two ways to to do, but I can't test it before the migration, so could you give me your advice.

    (1) I copy all virtual machines in ESX 2.5 to the new storage to ESX 4.1 with scp.

    I create the virtual machine with the vmdk

    I put the last VmTools

    Upgrade virtual hardware

    (2) I have try the VmConverter username but I don'k know if he recognizes the VM Esx 2.5

    Is there another solution?

    Thanks for your help!

  • Problem machine network virtual ESX 3.5 x 64

    I have

    created a VM of Hardy Ubuntu 64 bit for a svn server to replace an old one

    that is a failure. I have it configured and running on VMware

    Workstation 6.5 with a static IP address. When I downloaded to Virtual Center as

    an ESX 3.5 64-bit VM using VMware Converter 3.03on my C7000 blade system, it completed without error, but I could connect is no longer

    to it.

    I went with the Virtual Console of the Infrastructer and can access the server. When I run

    It shows only L0 ifconfig. Eth0 is not there. But when I look

    / etc/Networks/interfaces it is there with the correct information. I have

    have restarted the network and restarted even drank the same thing.

    I am pretty new to Linux, but have a pretty good idea of the basics but

    That stopped me. Any ideas on why eth0 does not go up? I have

    about 60 other virtual machines running on the blades, a mix of MS and different

    Linux, flavors and did not run in the whole of this problem before.

    I'll try and find the thread that explains this, but I use this script to reset the network setting and restart the virtual machine.

    Edit: this thread deals with questions: http://communities.vmware.com/message/768291#768291

    Basically, I think that the conversion process changes the mac address and puts the networking on eth1 to eth0. There are a few corrections to it and the one I use is just to restore the networking with the script.

    My environment can be different from the way that you set up your virtual machines as my virtual machines are not set static IP they are set to DHCP - they acquire a static IP address of a router.

    If it's not quite what you are looking for there are other things in the thread I posted that might also help you...

    Whenever I use a converter on a computer or ESXi virtual on my Ubuntu VM, I get the same things happen...

    The main issue will be the differences between the CPU and according to what difference, say a Core 2 Duo vs Quad Core this by itself may be sufficient to trigger WPA on a Windows Virtual Machine.   Like many a Client in Mac OS X or OS X Client that shouldn't be a problem however with Mac OS X Server or OS X Server so that I moved it with a Core 2 Duo vs Quad Core, I have not had problems yet but the haven of the exhaustive tests with the server version.  I think it will go well, however, we should always do... maintain appropriate backups!
