For loop create linked Clone
I have a script that will create a clone that is linked to from a snapshot, apply a cuztomization and start the virtual machine, what I want to do is create a loop for who would do this for multiple virtual machines. but I have no idea how to do so I don't know a loop, that's what I need, but I don't know how I should format the code.
Here is my script up to now:
[Code]
[/ Code]
Thank you.
for ($i=0; $i -lt 10; $i++) {
It should work.

For loop creates 1 d data table
Hello, I am building the circuit below, and I'm running into a lot of problems with the loop, creating a table 1 d of data from certain types of data such as the ERROR OUT and the VISA NAME of RESOURCE. I understand why it does this, but I only need the last value in the table (the value of the last iteration of the loop for). This is true for me for the error, resource name of visa, and I was thinking of using the Boolean value that indicates when the for loop.
Is there a simple way to extract the last value in the table 1-D so that it is correct to pass along trails, VISA and ERROR type?
You actually create a block diagram, not a circuit. A circuit is an electrical system including devices and wires.
If you right-click on the tunnel and choose disable indexing, then you get the value of the last iteration rather than a 1 d table.

Join the Parent picture to the domain before you create linked clones?
Do we not have to attach the image relative to the domain before creating a snapshot, and use it to float pools related clones?
Agree with Mittim12... Works either way, but we have our images of parent is joined to the domain before. This help us to do things that is install OK on the image for domain use for users and allows us to do some more test before we deployment.
Good luck...

Linked clone failed: the operation is not supported on the object
Hi all - I would appreciate help on a related clone operation that is a failure.
I use Quest vWorkspace to create linked clone VM in my environment. It integrates with virtual Center and creates from a VM snapshot parent according to normal related clones. It has just stopped working and I am trying to track down the cause. The task fails with the error message in the console of VMware vCenter: the operation is not supported on the object.
The vCentre is 5.5 and esxi. vWorkspace is v8.0 MR1. The parent VM is located on an iSCSI datastore. I tried to put the clones of destination on premises and warehouses of NFS data with the same result. Unfortunately I can't (don't want really to) move the VM parent from the data store that I have of many VM related to this virtual machine.
The failure message is a bit generic, so I looked on through the vmkernel.log and vpxa.log and it is an excerpt from the vpxa.log whereby it shows failed task 153. Can someone please indicate something in the newspaper that had to be examined or another newspaper to look at?
vWorkspace attached error and below:
Linked clone has not CreateLinkedClone_Task of CloneVmLinked failed! Task of VMware CreateLinkedClone_Task status error - the operation is not supported on the object. -Call stacks-VmLinkedClone.VmLinkedCloneService.CloneVmLinked String vmInvPath, String strSnapshotMor, String strNewVmName, String strSysprep, ManagedObjectReference morFolder, ManagedObjectReference morResPool, ManagedObjectReference morHost, String strDatastoreName, Boolean bQuickPrep, String domainNameIP, String

Hello guys,.
For those of you already on 5.5, I did a few tests these days. I did find a magic bullet yet as a single parameter that is sure to break but I came up with a workaround.
I found that if my ESXi server was still on the 5.1, vWorkspace could deploy clones linked via vCenter 5.5 - it's only when the ESXi is also on 5.5 that you have a problem.
If any of you have ESXi hosts still on 5.1, you can deploy there for now.
In ESXi 5.x, it is easy to have an ESXi virtual machine. You might want to consider creating some virtual boxes ESXi to deploy on while the vworkspace dev team look at why it does not work.
I know that this is not the best solution in the world, but it's better than no work around
Thank you, Andrew.

Linked Clone with vSphere api and VIClient 2.5
I'm trying to create Clone bound using vSphere Web services api (c#) and it always end like full clone.
My question is, is it possible to create Linked clone using vSphere api with VIClient 2.5.
I know that vShpere supports version 2.5 VIClient. vShpere has the ability to create Linked clone.
I try to know why it does not create Linked clone from my environment.
I am ready to explain if you need more details.
Thank you.
Yes, you can vMotion Linked Clones... sVmotion may work, but I have not tested, probably not a good idea to move them.

create a clone bound of VAPP?
Hello
How can I create "linked clone" of VAPP vSphere web services SDK?
Rizwan
Hello
Creation of Clones related to a paralytic is not possible through the vSphere API, only full clones can be made. You can however ask an existing VAPP, take each virtual machine and create linked Clones and you can refer to the details at VMware Linked Clone WP - http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/linked_vms_note.pdf

Linked clone - selection of a VM parent
I have proof of validation lab I play with view 3.x. I create an automated Office Pool that uses the option "use technology clone bound to create jobs in this pool.
My problem is that I had somehow previously created two virtual computers that appear in the selection list when asked to choose a parent VM for the new pool. I tried to create other virtual machines that will also see the place in the list of choices, but can't seem to find the right combination of options that will make the new virtual machine appears in the parent VM selection list.
Any ideas what options it takes creating a new parent VM for use in a related clone pool?
The VM parent you want to appear in the list must have a snapshot so he can create linked clone. The next step is to choose which snapshot you want.

Error on linked clone of VMware View 4
Hi all
I just installed the trial version of 4 reviews. Creating linked clones, I get the following error:
A specified parameter was not correct. Spec.Snapshot
I know that XP image is OK I can clone the image manually.
We are running vSphere with all patches installed.
Anyone can shed light on this error?
Thank you very much

It's the same problem as described here: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/244269.

CURSOR for loops or an associative array
I just want to know the advantages and disadvantages of the CURSOR for loops. As a general rule, what guys do you prefer: associative array with CURSOR for loops?
If you use the CURSOR for loop, is it not difficult to debug?
PL/SQL Developer, I do not see what values are stored in the CURSOR for loop (in SP master_proc below) as
There are no variables to watch. Not sure if the TOAD can show these values
If I had used an associative array (master_proc2 below), I can see the values stored in the table by clicking on "show Collection"variable in PL/SQL developer.
create table emp2 as select * from emp; create or replace procedure my_proc(p_empno in number) as begin update emp2 set sal=sal+100 where empno=p_empno; end; / --Using CURSOR FOR loop create or replace procedure master_proc as begin for rec in (select empno from emp2 where empno>7700) loop my_proc (rec.empno); end loop; end; / -- Using Associative arrays create or replace procedure master_proc2 as type v_empno_type is table of number index by pls_integer; v_empno v_empno_type; begin select empno bulk collect into v_empno from emp2 where empno>7700; for i in 1..v_empno.count loop my_proc (v_empno(i)); end loop; end; /
VitaminD wrote:
Thank you Tubby. If you are faced with a situation where you MUST use a loop. Then you would go to associative arrays rather than CURSOR FOR loops. Right?Doesn't happen too often, but if/when then I would do as I said in my first post. Use the transformation, the collection table in BULK and FORALLs.
If we use your example posted, I would NOT spend a single table (in a loop mode) value I would be transmitted in the OVERALL picture and treat it with FORALL.
So, I would still use neither of the approaches that you mentioned.

Linked clones create a suorce and a replica for each clone.
Hello
Here, I'm a bit confused.
When I create a group with linked clones i persistent mode, a source and a replica is created for the entire group. Love of new clones are created when needed and everything works well. But when I create a pool that is automated with the clones related in non persistent mode, a source and a replica is created for each new clone! This means I'll take 3 images for each virtual machine. Talk about disk... consuming taked drive much more for each clone by comparing it to a single machine. Has anyone seen this behaviuor before? What's wrong?
I'm using vmwiew 3.1 and esx3.5

Error trying to create multiple linked clones
Hi all
I have another question from script to this that attempts to create multiple linked clones. I get the error message "Wait task: the object has no associated provider.» (see below under the results section). Just need to know why this happens, but I'm new to PowerCLI.

#To of power on each clone immediately after its creation:
#$cloneSpec.powerOn = $true
$i = 1
While ($i - the $numClones) {}
$taskViewArray = @)
foreach ($j in 1.. $concurrentClones) {}

You try to mix two different things here.
The CloneVM_Task call you is a method of the API in the SDK and it returns an SDK task object.
This task SDK object is not the same object as that returned by the RunAsync switch on several PowerCLI cmdlets.
The Wait-job cmdlet waits an object returned by the RunAsync switch.
You can use the task the UpdateProgress method on the object of the SDK in a loop.
And wait for the news. Condition of the property on the Task SDK object turns into success or error.

addition of CPU/memory for desktop computers in composer linked clone pool
Hi all
I want to add more CPU/memory for desktop computers in a pool of composer linked clone but I want to build a pool of test out changes first, while the production area is still in place. Can you screw with virtual material in the main image and then take a snapshot and build the pool of test out of it without him bring the clones in the production pool?
I think that the process would be as follows...
1. modify the parameters of material on the main image of Win7
2. run the main image and let it recognize the CPU and additional memory (probably needs to restart the CPU I think)
3. close the main image and take a snapshot
4 create a new pool of test off the coast of this new snapshot
Thank you!
Yes it may seem straight, it won't cause any problems. If you want to be very careful with your prod environment, you can just clone the base image and make your tests on it.

Cannot start the master VM once linked clone pool is created
With the help of ESXi 5.1, I created 3 floating linked clone distinct categories of 10 clones each. Everything works fine until I try to turn on the master after the linked clones are available. I get an error:
Cannot open disk ' / vmfs/volumes/volume/vm/vm-000002.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
He made this 100% of the time. No exception. I manually loaded a basic system of Windows 7 x 64 flat and converted a x 64 and x 32 using the P to the converter V. All systems do exactly the same thing. All files are where they say the man should be.
I can attach some files are required. Just need help. Destroy my master and create whenever I dial the linked just clone pool seems exaggerated.
It is not the virtual disk controller that is causing the problem (I just mentioned in order to make you aware of it). What is most likely the origin of the problem is the format of virtual drive not supported (twoGbMaxExtentSparse) which is used for the virtual disk. I suggest that you follow http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2036572 to convert the virtual disk shaped ESXi supported, which should solve the problem. Please keep in mind that this will require free space on the data store (the size of the configured virtual disk size - ~ 233GB).

Graphical support for linked clones
I would use linked clones in order to improve the commissioning of virtual servers that share large amounts of common data. I have the budget for upgrading vSphere and/or purchase additional software, and I tried to ask the VMware sales people to get advice on what products would allow management of related clones. The saleswoman, I spoke with possibly suggested vCenter Server v5. My company already uses v4, and I see nothing in it for me to create a linked clone. Maybe it's a new feature in v5, but it is not mentioned in the list of the new features. I think that the seller was probably misinformed about this possibility.
Does anyone have experience create clones related with a graphical management interface? If so, what is the combination of products VMware would be optimal to allow clones related to a small environment (e.g. 2 physical hosts)?
If you want to use linked clones, right now your options are to use vCloud Director or VMware View. There is no support of base level for the creation of a clone that is bound in the GUI (just support of the API for it).
Maybe you are looking for
