• How to move a virtual machine to another store of data on the same host

  Hello

  I have a single ESX4 host with 3 data warehouses and I need to move a virtual machine to another data store, how can I do that since I don't have the ability to migrate the virtual machine when I am connected directly to the client with vSphere host and I do not have a server vCenter also?

  Thanks, Julien

  Hello

  Yes, you can use #vmkfstools-i /vmfs/volumes/datastore/VM/VM.vmdk /vmfs/volumes/datastore/VM1/VM1.vmdk

  For the record, the data store must be shared if you copy of VM and VM must be turned off. In the above command you copy VM.vmdk to VM1.vmdk and add the newly created with this existing VMDK VM.

• Import a virtual machine from a backup of Symantec .sv2i

  I need to create a virtual machine from the backup of a Windows physical box created with one of the latest versions of Symantec BESR.

  VMware Converter Standalone documentation reading - I see that only the backup made with Symantec BESR 8.5 and earlier files are supported.

  Can someone please provide a solution or at least advice?

  Concerning

  Marius

  Hello

  You can create a temp disk (VMDK) to an existing virtual machine, and then put your backup file on the disk.

  Detach the VMDK and then assign to a new virtual machine as a second disc (the virtual machine you need to restore the backup to that).

  Then start the virtual machine of the Symantec BESR startup disk and restore the secondary drive on the first disk backup file.

  After that detach and remove the second disk.

  Of curse, this solution may not work after restoration because you made the physics of the machine backup and restore to a virtualized platform.

• VMware 6.5.5 cannot import the virtual machine that uses 2GB "disks of split.

  Hello

  I'm using VMware Workstation 6.5.5 under Win XP. I tried to import a virtual machine that was created by using the option 'Split' virtual disks into files of 2 GB. The import fails and presents a pop-up: ' Conversion Assistant/cannot determine the guest operating system. The log file includes the line "could not find the disk cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk. This file does not exist of course, there are more files cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s001.vmdk, cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s002.vmdk and so on. The machine virtual original (cofortcol3v01) has been created under VMware Workstation 5.1, and it does not under Workstation 6.5.5.

  Is this a known problem in the conversion utility? Is there a work around for this problem?

  Thank you.

  -Phil Anzel

  FYI... VMware Workstation peut import a Virtual Machine that uses twoGbMaxExtentSparse discs.

  The log file includes the line "could not find the disk cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk. This file does not exist of course, rather there are files cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s001.vmdk, cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s002.vmdk and so on. The machine virtual original (cofortcol3v01) has been created under VMware Workstation 5.1, and it does not under Workstation 6.5.5.

  Is this a known problem in the conversion utility? Is there a work around for this problem?

  The problem is that you're missing the "disk DescriptorFile", "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk" and which is why it's a failure and not a limitation of the Conversion utility.

  Also if you actually had a Virtual Machine created in VMware Workstation 5.1 you can simply run directly under VMware Workstation 6.5.5 without having to run the import command.

  Anyway, if you have a backup that you can recover the file "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk" then you should be fine and if you have not then a new can be created.  If you can archive (compress) files vmware*.log (usually 4 of them) in a single zip file archive and tied him to a post in response, then one of us will create a new file "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk", based on the information contained in files vmware.log for you, if you don't know how to do it yourself.

• How to import a virtual machine of 3.5 to 4.0?

  I need to be able to migrate a VM from 3.5 to 4.0.

  1 moving to a shared LUN virtual computer - done

  Need help with

  1 import the virtual machine in 4.0 of the LUN that is shared; the script below does not work.

  $Datacenter = 'test '.

  $VMName = "test-VM.

  $ESXHost = get-vmhost | Sort-Object MemoryUsageMB | Select first name - 1

  $ResourcePool = get-VMHost $ESXHost.Name | Get-ResourcePool | Get-View

  $vmFolder = get-View (Get-data center-name $Datacenter |) Get - Folder - name "vm") user.user

  $vmFolder.RegisterVM_Task ("[SHARED_LUN]" + $VMName + "/" + $VMName + ".vmx", $VMName, $false, $ResourcePool.MoRef, $null ")

  Thank you

  It will work, but you will need to use the - Server parameter in the cmdlet Get-Data Center to indicate what vcenter you want to recover the data center.

  Suppose you have two vCenters, called VC1 and VC2, then you can get the data center under VC1 like this

  $vc1 = connect-VIServer-Server VC1

  $vc2 = connect-VIServer-Server VC2

  Get-data center-name SameName-Server $vc1

  If you'd

  Get-Datacenter -Name SameName
  

  you will get a table with 2 objects, an object for the data center in each vCenter.

• After you import the virtual machines in LM, can I remove VC

  Hello

  I had a couple of machines to import the configuration of another admin... After you import the virtual machines in LM, can I remove the virtual machines, I imported VC? I now have more need to fight them with VC. LM depends on of these always after import?

  I do not believe, but you can rename the folder and see if something is complaining.  If it isn't, it is probably safe to delete.

• Import of existing virtual machines to VMware server

  My company has several virtual machines created with VMware Server 2.0.  We want to do a proof of concept for virtualization in production using ESXi environment.  Instead to install guest OS on a new machine of ESXi freash, is it possible to import a virtual machine created in VMware Server 2.0?  This should earn a quite some time.  Also, if possible, ESXi accesses a UBS device to copy the files of the virtual machine locally, that is, a USB HDD?  If this is not the case, can use us the VM converter to move to ESXi?

  Thanks for your help.

  RC

  Check the converter.  Probably the easiest option.

• VCac fails to VCO registerVirtualMachineRequest 'Import vCenter Virtual Machine'

  VCac Ver 6.1

  VCO worm 5.5.2

  VCac 6.1.0.2040915 Plugin

  
  Hi all

  I have an external VCO device configuration and Vcac. I am under some test workflow to get the clones of a virtual machine, and then import it into Vcac so that its life cycle is managed. I'm at the stage where I just test of VCO with the out-of-box plugin workflows. I am able to run a workflow to modify the Vcac without any problem. When I run a workflow 'import Vcenter Virtual Machine' in VCO workflow is completed successfully, but the machine is never added to Vcac. I see these messages below in my journal Vcac. Where it says (my username), this is the value of the user of the identity when I run the workflow. I have admin tenant and tissue rights. What is the purpose of this user identity? I can leave the field blank and always get the same answer, he'll just be blank where is the user name.

  (My username) System.ApplicationException: Access denied to the DynamicOps.VMPS.Security.AuthorizationService.CheckAccess (IdentityToken token, try to String, String group, String tenantId) at DynamicOps.VMPS.Service.ProvisionService.RegisterExistingVirtualMachine (IdentityToken identityToken, Guid virtualMachineID, Guid hostReservationID, Guid hostStorageReservationID, Guid virtualMachineTemplateID, owner of the chain)

  Any help would be appreciated,

• Import the Virtual Machine Notes to new vCenter 5.1

  Is there a way to import the Virtual Machine Notes to a new vCenter attribute? I am able to export notes to help

  $vm = get - VM | Select Name, Notes

  $vm | Export-csv notes.csv

  but cannot find a way to import...

  Thanks Andy

  Hi Andy,.

  to import the attribute information about the virtual machine in a new vCenter server, you can use the following script PowerCLI:

  Import-CSV -Path Notes.csv |
  ForEach-Object {
    Get-VM $_.Name |
    Set-VM -Notes $_.Notes -Confirm:$false
  }
  

• movement of virtual machines on new server

  I'm fairly new to vmware and operate a very limited plant, but would like assistance.  I have the Essentials package and ESX 4.0 is running on a single server with the virtual machines stored on local hard disks.  I installed a new server ESXi 5.1 and local storage, and I need to move the virtual machines from the old server to the new server.  If it's important, the guest virtual machine operating system are a mixture of linux and windows.  What is the best method to move those VMs?

  Hello

  If you have the two host added to vCenter, you can turn off VMs and migrate virtual machines to another host and data store.

  Since you do not have a shared storage, you must turn off VM to change host and the data store.

  It doesn't matter what OS you are running on a virtual machine.

  Thank you

• Belvedere on the installer of Windows 7 virtual machine on the server

  We currently have a SCADA running Lookout 6.0.2 and you want to upgrade to 6.7.1.

  I interested him running Lookout 6.7.1 on Windows 7 virtual machine on a server.

  Someone has done this? Have tested the lookout 6.7.1 on a PC with Windows 7, I have no idea if the lookout will run on the virtual machine.

  Is - this in anyway beneficial define Lookout this way? Need information please.

  Thank you

  All the ma, but two of my servers run under VMs on Hyper-V.  The other two are running on (remote) VMware enterprise configurations.  Everything works beautifully.   I use Ethernet Server series brands such as Moxa or Pearl for any devices that are not native ethernet.  I even ran Ethernet USB on a few occasions, but that can be risky.

• Expand or move the virtual machine to another partition / hard disk

  I tried to expand my 90 GB disk but nothing changes, i.e. the virtual machine is still to 60 GB. I have VMware Fusion 6 (Mac/Windows 10) and my VM is monolithic mode. In this true HD, I even 50 GB free and I can't increase the amount again in an attempt to rectify this problem and I can not to decrease either. I thought to change the location of the virtual machine to another partition/hd with more space, but I don't know how. So I need little help to choose and implements one of the solutions below:

  - or regularise space for the new amount

  - or move the virtual machine (vmdk) to an another partition/HD

  - or to convert monolithic mode to 2 GB split

  What is the best solution?

  Thanks in advance

  It's help me;

  Resize a Windows Partition with disk management tool

  When you maximize your virtual hard disk, you must also expand partition of your guest operating system to take advantage of the extra space.

  Fusion resizes the partition of the guest operating system when you resize the virtual hard disk. If you hold the Option key when you click apply to resize the drive, you can manually resize the Windows partition. For Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista you can use the operating system's disk management tool to resize a partition.

  Prerequisites

  Check that your virtual hard disk is large enough to accept the increase in the size of the partition. See resize a hard disk.

  Procedure

  1 right click on computer and select Manage.

  2. double-click on storage.

  3 double-click disk management.

  4 in the list, right click on the partition to expand and select Extend the Volume.

  5 follow the prompts to resize the partition and click complete and the question of the partition in the disk management pane displays its new size.

  6. close the computer management window
