• Error trying to deploy a virtual machine from a template

  Hello everyone,

  We went from ESX 3.5 U4 and VC 2.0 to vSphere 4 and ESX 4.0. In VI 3 deployment of virtual machines in models worked fine without any errors. Now, I have the problem that I can't deploy virtual machines from templates more. I upgraded VMWare tools on each machine for vSphere 4. But whenever I try to deploy a VM from a template I get the following error: "number of virtual devices exceeds the maximum for a given controller. This happens only when I go to the option "Change the virtual hardware (experimental)" and by changing the virtual network to another local VIRTUAL network adapter (in my case from INTERNAL to VLAN21) before you deploy. When I'm not changing the network card virtual, all works well.

  I have been through a few KB and some discussion of the community, but those who are almost for vmware converter.

  Could you please help me?

  Thanks in advance for any answers.

  Convert virtual machine model.

  Modify the virtual machine settings.

  Choose a network suitable for model (it shows probably no name)

  Convert virtual machine model

  Try to deploy new virtual machine model to see if it works again correctly.

• Clone the virtual machine to the local data store

  Hi all

  I'm looking to automate a task daily (or almost) of my friends with a small script with powercli.

  I'm trying to "backup" or to clone a virtual machine, I work in a storage of one of our servers.

  The servers are managed by a 5.1 vCenter and the machine is on a shared storage.

  From time to time, I clean, stop the machine, remove all snapshots and clone the virtual machine to one of the local server as a backup storage. So I put together a small script which almost works. It works as long as the target data store is a shared storage, but not with a local storage.

  I get always an error that claims it can not access the local data store and is not a permissions problem...

  Given that I can accomplish this via the customer without problem I thought it is possible via powercli too, or I'm wrong?

  My Script up to now:

  # Variables
  $VC = "vc.domain.com" #vCenter Server
  $User = "domain\user" #User
  $Pass = 'test123' #User PW
  $VMName = 'scripttest' #VM
  $BackupSuffix = "backup" #Suffix to add the name of VM to mark this as a backup
  $VmHost = "esx2.domain.com".
  $Datastore = 'ESX2-LocalData' #Datastore
  $BackupFolder = 'Backup' #Folder the VM gets classified

  
  

  # Register cmdlets to VMware
  

  If (-not (Get-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core - ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) {}

  Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core

  }

  
  

  # Connect to the server

  SE connect-ViServer $VC - user $User-password $Pass

  
  

  # Remove the old clone

  $OldBackups = get - VM | WHERE {$_.} {Name: corresponds to '$VMName - $BackupSuffix'}

  If ($OldBackups - don't "")

  {

  If ($OldBackups.Count - gt 1)

  {

  Write-Host "better check! "Found several results:

  Foreach ($VM to $OldBackups)

  {

  Write-Host $VM. Name

  }

  }

  on the other

  {

  Remove-VM - VM $OldBackups - DeleteFromDisk-confirm: $false

  }

  }

  
  

  # Clone VM

  $VMInfo = get - VM $VMName | Get-View

  $CloneSpec = new-Object Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineCloneSpec

  $CloneSpec.Snapshot = $VMInfo.Snapshot.CurrentSnaphshot

  $CloneSpec.Location = new-Object Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec

  $CloneSpec.Location.Datastore = (get-Datastore-name $Datastore |) Get - View). MoRef

  $CloneSpec.Location.Transform = [Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateTransformation]: sparse

  $CloneFolder = $VMInfo.Parent

  $CloneName = "$VMName - $BackupSuffix".

  $TaskCloneID = $VMInfo.CloneVM_Task ($CloneFolder, $CloneName, $CloneSpec)

  
  

  # Check if the task is completed

  
  

  $Check = $false

  While ($Check - eq $false)

  {

  $Tasks = get-job | Select State, id | Where {$_.} State - eq "Running" - and $_. State - eq "pending"}

  ForEach ($Task in $Tasks)

  {$Check = $true}

  }

  Start-Sleep 10

  }

  # Move clone to the backup folder

  Move-VM - VM '$VMName - $BackupSuffix' - Destination $BackupFolder

  
  

  # Disconnect

  Can you show us the complete error message you get?

  BTW, the clone step can be replaced by the New-VM cmdlet with the setting of the virtual machine.

• Clone a virtual machine to a Cluster data store

  Hello

  Really simple (hopefully), but I'm trying to write a workflow that includes the provision of a virtual computer to a cluster of data store. I'm a link to the workflow 'Clone the virtual machine, no customizations' that only accepts a store of input data.

  I hope that I am a bit stupid here and there is a simple answer?

  Thank you.

  There is no simple answer.  DRS clusters are actually a set of rules and not a real thing, you can deploy a VMDK.  I suggest to use Onyx to deploy a virtual computer to a DRS cluster and see what it generates.  If I remember correctly, it executes DRS rules to get a recommendation for where to put a VMDK fundamentally and then uses the exit in order to actually deploy the model.

  I opted to write just a simple workflow that finds the data store with the most of freespace that corresponds to a string - for example, if I have a DRS cluster named DSCluster_ugabuga, I have a lot of data stores named something like "ugabuga... ».  So you ask these storages of data and find the one which most freespace.

• Trying to copy a virtual machine from one server to another

  Hi all

  I'm new to ESXi 4, although I used VMWare Workstation for years.  I am trying to copy a virtual machine from a Windows system (Sysprep) from one host to another.  The two hosts are identical systems with the exact same ESXi host configuration.  Same hw, same version of ESXi, same setup, same size of the partition.

  When I use the Vsphere data store browse to 'download' the vmdk and vmx files to a local drive (Windows Server 2003), I get the following 3 files: the same vmx file, a tiny vmdk file and a file huge filename - flat hard.  The file vmdk on browser to store data from the source host is about 23 GB.  The flat on the local system vmdk file is almost 63 GB.

  Can I reopen Vsphere on the destination server and "load" the 3 files in a directory that I created in the data store.  Once there, I use the browser "Add to inventory."  When I try to turn on the virtual machine, I get the error message "not enough space on the data store."

  Any ideas of what I could have done wrong?  Again the data store configuration is identical:

  Local disk to VMware: 62.95 GB, Total formatted capacity: 62,75 GB.  1 VMFS 3.33 MB block size it's the only VM on the system.

  Thanks in advance,

  Mark

  What you see is by design.

  When you try to copy a disc loaded end service, with the browser data store or FastSCP, the virtual disk will be inflated. Use the converter such as recommended by AlbertWT.

  Since the virtual disks of destination must already 60 GB of disk space you may not able to power on the virtual machine, because there is not enough disk space for the swap file, which is the size of the configured RAM (less reserve, if necessary).

• VCo workflow to clone a virtual machine of centos. Network interface problem

  Hello

  I use vco workflows to clone a virtual machine of vcenter. The virtual machine is running centos 6.0. When cloning is complete. I see the network eth0 and eth1 interfaces set correctly the static gateway ip and address information I provided. I deleted the 70 - persistent - net .rules on the basic vm form which I clone. So, I get the correct interface names. But when vm powers on and I run "ifconfig eth0" I don't see the IP address of this interface has all the details.  same for the other interface also.

  But if I do a system restart network without changes to networking and then do an ifconfig I see the IP with the previous information.   I don't know why the service network restart is necessary so that he can recognize the ip address.

  Any ideas what I could do wrong. or to avoid this manual step of the execution of the service network restart command on the creation of the vm.

  Thank you

  Kiran

  Yes I'm restarting after after the application of customization.

  Has been able to solve the problem... In CentOS, the network service does not work by default. This is why it does not have network interfaces at startup. So now the machine instant, I started the network services and stop the Network Manager service

  using chkconfig network on

  chkconfig NetworkManager off

  and then cloned from this virtual machine... and apply the customization settings. during the start now it shows the interfaces properly without needing a service restart

  In my computer a full clone is nothing more then is not a copy that was made unique in the process and the players of VMware capacity but there is nothing stopping you from manually making a copy and then manually by making the changes to make it unique.

  This message appears usually when the JVM cannot allocate sufficient memory. It may be the consequence of the stage Builder set - Xmx1024m command line: this is currently followed by default TLD-4515 and will be fixed in the next few weeks.
  For the time being you can give a try on a system with more memory. Moreover, what is your current hardware configuration?

• How is it possible to clone a virtual machine cluster when data warehouses not presented in source and destination

  I did not know that on ESX 3.5, in order to afin de vivre live clone a virtual machine from one ESX host to another, source and destination stores had to be available. However, I'm currently cloning a virtual machine to a host in a datacenter and cluster to one host in a different data center, but the destination store is not available at the source host and visa versa.

  How is that possible?  This is a new feature of vSphere?

  That seems to work on the console port. See this thread: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1475721#1475721
