• cannot not power off the virtual machine, but don't think the host it is running!

  I have two clusters VI3. An older cluster to 3.02 hosts and a new cluster with ESXi hosts. Level of current patch on ESXi hosts. New guests and old presenters sees the same storage, but I have additional storage which can see only the new virtual machine.

  Most of the migration to the new cluster went very well. A few questions. But a VM just GIVES me fits.

  After the failure of attempts to migrate the virtual machine to the new storage, I thought I just migrate the virtual machine to the new host and leave it on the old storage, for now, until we could find something later. VCenter events logs show that the migration has expired. However, the virtual machine appears in the new cluster and is no longer in the old cluster. Also, he turned on itself for some reason any. Turn off in Vcenter gives the error "the operation failed because another task is underway." Having the VM that I could put it off in before Vcenter, and no no unsure of how to use the RCLI for this, I have connected to the host directly mode "not supported" and has run vm-support - x to get the list of running virtual machines and their ID's so that I could kill him. However, the host does not include this virtual machine in the list of virtual machines. So I think a virtual computer that runs Virtual Center, but he thinks the host it runs on is unclear if I can't kill the process.

  Help?

  Have you tried to restart ESXi management officers, as well as the vc service is restarted?

• Get the name of the host that a virtual machine is running, rather than the host ID

  Hello

  Looking for a little help, I question the result of a get - vm of the. Run to find the name of the host to a virtual machine runs on. All I seem to get is the host id that is a number.

  Y at - it an option in the GET - vm, which displays the name of the host, or is it possible to remove the name of the host from the value of the provided host id.

  What I want to do is the following:

  Enter a name for the virtual machine, hop on the host his race, ask the host for its groups of ports available, introduce an option of these groups of ports and when you enter the name, set the Group of ports of entry. Without the actual host name I can't find it.

  $selectedVM = read-host "enter the name of the VM.

  $vm = get - vm $selectedVM | Get-opinion

  $runhost = $vm.runtime.host

  $portgroups = get-virtualportgroup - VMHost $runhost

  'Port available to connect groups '.

  $portgroups

  $selectedPG = read-host "enter the port group name.

  $netadapters = get-networkadapter - VM $selectedVM

  ForEach ($netadapter to $netadapters)

  {

  all-NIC - NIC NetworkName $netadapter - $selectedPG - StartConnected: $TRUE - confirm: $false

  }

  Any help on this would be really appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hi Dan,.

  You can retrieve the host name by using the Get-VMHost cmdlet

  $selectedVM = read-host "Enter VM Name"
  $vmhost = Get-VMHost -VM (Get-VM -Name $selectedVM) | Select-Object Name
  $runhost = $vmhost.Name
  

  Hope this helps

• How do you start automatically at startup of the host guests?

  How do you start guests automatically when starting vSphere host? I did it in vmware server and vmware workstation before easily but I can't work out how to do it for vSphere. I don't have a vCenter.

  Just use the vSphere Client and point to host, software, Configuration, start/stop the virtual machine.

• Change the host for a virtual machine on a cluster and the host is not in accordance with the attached profile

  Hi all

  I have 02 questions.

  1. we have a cluster which has 02 physical hosts (Host1 and Host2). We have 02 virtual machines on the Cluster. Active DRS on the cluster.

  But the problem is that my 02 VMS are always stays on a Host2. A few weeks ago, each virtual machine carried out on each host. How can I place each virtual machine on each host to perform better.

  How to do this?

  2. I connect to the cluster using vSphere client 5.1, under summer host, I get the following message

  "Configuration problems: host is not in accordance with the attached profile.

  I suspect that this is the case for my question 1?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  I think I found the answer for the problem of home profile. I changed the following values to 1 for each host to > settings > under software > advanced settings >

  Under Data Mover

  HardwareAcceleratedInit

  HardwareAcceleratedMove
  

  
  

  Under VMFS3

  HardwareAcceleratedLocking

  Compliance status is returned to the green.

  Thanks for the advice guys!

• Do not allow the virtual machine to power on if the host memory usage over 75%?

  Hi all

  I'm looking for a way to do not allow the power of virtual machines on if the clutser average memory usage is greater than 75%, or if its corresponding host memory usage is greater than 75%.

  Any idea.

  Thank you very much

  Hey Valot,.

  One way to achieve this is HA admission control that does not allow a virtual machine to be turned on if the availability constraints are not met

• vCenter Server is a virtual machine, how can I update the host

  I have 2 guests in our environment, I have updated the host of the 2nd, but may not know how to upgrade the 1 host because vcenter server runs as a virtual machine on it. This has me thinking that I don't have the installation program as best as possible.

  Basically, we have 2 Guest boxes and a small box of DC. I don't really want to run vcenter on the dc area. What would be the best soltuong for our environment? Can I keep vcenter as a virtual machine? If Yes, how can I update the host it will run on?

  Thanks in advance everyone... Chris

  I was afraid of that say you that

  Well in this case you may need to update the host manually (see for example http://communities.vmware.com/people/vmroyale/blog/2011/09/15/updating-esxi-5--single-use-esxcli-how-to) even with the need to manually update the host on which vCenter Server is running, I would always run as a virtual machine. There is usually not that many updates.

• Install the new virtual machine as a guest of the installation of boot CD

  Hello

  HOWTO install new virtual machine as a guest of the boot installation CD?

  first of all can I mount the CD drive?

  Best way to do is to download the CD image on your server ESX with WinSCP or FastSCP.

  Connect the cd player to the guest for this ISO image and make sure that the option "Connect to PowerOn" is selected.

  If you hav access your esx host you can also insert the cd in the CD drive, ESX host and connect the guest to the host drive. Check the option "connect to PowerOn.

  Start your virtual machine and it should start from CD.

• Can't export virtual machines: unable to connect to the remote server

  Hello

  I'm working on vSphere client 5.1 (vCenter Server 5.1). Trying to export a virtual machine for distribution model. When I go to file-> export the template OVF..., I get the following error message:

  Can't export virtual machines: unable to connect to the remote server

  Remote not sure what/who he is not able to connect to. If I connect vSphere Web Client and navigate to the same model (or all other models), under 'All the Actions of vCenter' I don't have an option to export to the model of the FVO. But if I use a VM machine instead of a virtual machine template, I have the ability to export to the OVF, but it is grayed out.

  Am I missing any customer authorization or plugin for vShpere?

  Discovered that vSphere server had some modifications made by HIM to resolve the violation POODLE. HE had to set the ip address of the machine where export OVF will be performed. Which allowed the connection to establish vsphere client and perform an export of the FVO.

• backup of the virtual machine fails HotAdd mode if the virtual machine is running?

• Not possible to export a list of virtual machines that are created in the past 7, 30, 120 and 180 days since an imported csv file containing the date of creation of virtual machine

  Not possible to export a list of virtual machines that are created in the past 7, 30, 120 and 180 days since an imported csv file containing the date of creation of virtual machine. My questions is the correct statement to the variable: $VmCreated7DaysAgo: $_CreatedOn "-lt" $CDate7.

  # #SCRIPT_START

  $file = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\VM-Repo.csv".

  $Import = import-csv $file

  $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\Last7Days.csv".

  $start7 = (get-Date). AddMonths(-1)

  $CDate7 = $start7. ToString('MM/dd/yyyy')

  $VmCreated7DaysAgo = $Import | Select-object - property name, Powerstate, vCenter, VMHost, Cluster, file, Application, CreatedBy, CreatedOn, NumCpu, MemoryGB | Where-Object {$_.} CreatedOn - lt $CDate7} | Sort-Object CreatedOn

  $TotalVmCreated7DaysAgo = $VmCreated7DaysAgo.count

  $VmCreated7DaysAgo | Export-Csv-path $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture

  Write-Host "$TotalVmCreated7DaysAgo VMs created in 7 days" - BackgroundColor Magenta

  Invoke-Item $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile

  # #SCRIPT_END

  You can use the New-Timespan cmdlet in the Where clause, it returns the time difference between 2 DateTime objects.

  An example of this cmdley

  New-TimeSpan-start (Get-Date). AddDays(-7)-end (Get-Date). Select days - ExpandProperty

  In your case, you could do

  Where {(New Timespan-démarrer ([DateTime] $_.))} CreatedOn) - end $start7). {7 days - gt}

  But beware of negative numbers.

• What concurrent virtual machines are launched to start the failover or failover test

  Hi friends,

  What the simultaneous virtual machines are started when the failover or failover test is started?

  6 virtual machines are cocurrently recovered or the number can be configured?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  The number of virtual machines simultaneously recovered was 2 virtual machines per host up to a maximum of 20 virtual machines with MRS. 4.x ( http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/VMware-vCenter-SRM-WP-EN.pdf document "Best Practices" 18 States, but I have seen 20 myself several times).

  With SRM 5 the number is unlimited by default (http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/srm5-perf.pdf, page 13), but can be changed (overall or specific cluster): http://blogs.vmware.com/uptime/2011/10/working-at-the-edge-of-srm-5-limits.html

• The virtual machine must be moved to another host?

  vCenter 4 runs on a virtual machine on vHost1. When you try to run an update for the virtual server that I have this message.

  The host has a VM VMware vCenter Update Manager or VMware installed vCenter vCenter. The virtual machine must be moved to another host for the remediation process to move forward.

  Before moving running virtual machine to a different host to vCenter, I thought I should ask if there is a better way to update vHost1?

  Thanks for your help. This is all quite new to me.

  Use VMotion to move your vCenter guest, you'll be fine.  Or if you have any DRS value fully automated when restore you one or more hosts DRS will move all of your guests.
