• Get all the virtual disk to a virtual machine in the workflow

  Hello

  because on the VRO/VRA 7.0.1 reconfigure VM doesn't have the broker of life cycle events, I need to retrieve information about the virtual machine to synchronize the new State in the database.

  Hi Sergio,

  Here is an example of code (the input parameter is type virtual machine vm ):

  var devices = vm.config.hardware.device;
  for each (controller in devices) {
    var is_scsi = controller instanceof VcVirtualBusLogicController || controller instanceof VcVirtualLsiLogicController
         || controller instanceof VcParaVirtualSCSIController || controller instanceof VcVirtualLsiLogicSASController;
    if (!is_scsi) {
      continue;
    }
    var controller_label = controller.deviceInfo.label;
    System.log("SCSI controller found: " + controller_label);
    for each (device in devices) {
      if (device.controllerKey == controller.key) {
        var scsi_id = controller.busNumber + ":" + device.unitNumber;
        System.log("    device found:  '" + device.deviceInfo.label + "'  'SCSI (" + scsi_id + ")'");
      }
    }
  }
  

  SCSI ID is a combination of the number of buses of the controller and unit of the device number.

• When running Disk Management, get the error - failed to connect to the virtual disk Service.

  When I run the Snap on the local server disk management, I get an error message in the status bar: unable to connect to the virtual disk Service.

  Thanks, I have tried these things and nothing has solved the problem.  Here's what I did:

  (a) check the VDS service was manual and failures later per second are 'take no action '.
  ANSWER: Yes to manual and following, second has not changed to "restart the service" of "non-action".
   
  (b) sfc/scannow as administrator
  ANSWER: the System File Checker has found no problem (program reported no problem and findstr/c: "[SR]" on CBS.log doesn't have the list of issues)

  (c) restore to a previous system restore point
  ANSWER: I have tried restore points several more early, each of them failed

• VMDKMounter gets error "could not open the virtual disk.

  I have two Win7 x 64 virtual machines running fine with VMware Fusion 4.1.2.  I installed VMDKMounter from VMware 3.1.3 and OSXFuse 2.3.9.  I can ride one of the files hard with VMDKMounter very well, but others told "Cannot open the virtual disk" when I try to mount it.

  8 June 14:43:27 hoth [0 x 0-0xe50e5].com.vmware.vmdkmounter [2394]: could not parse the instant string ' / Users/finchr/Documents/VirtualMachines.localized/hoth.univ.dir.wwu.edu.vmwarevm/hoth.univ.dir.wwu.edu.vmx '. 8 June 14:43:27 hoth [0 x 0-0xe50e5].com.vmware.vmdkmounter [2394]: will not be able to take an informed decision, based on partial information. 8 June 14:43:27 hoth [0 x 0-0xe50e5].com.vmware.vmdkmounter [2394]: mount the drive read-only instead. 8 June 14:43:27 hoth [0 x 0-0xe50e5].com.vmware.vmdkmounter [2394]: failed to open the disc: disc encoding error (261993021117)

  The virtual machine that VMDKMounter fails to mount was created by VMware vCenter Converter 5.0 of a physical machine.  The virtual machine that works was created in VMware Fusion 4.

  Of course, the hard I really want to ride with VMDKMounter is he who fails.  No idea how to make so that he can get?

  Well, I see nothing in the disc DescriptorFile which prevents the hard mounted.

  So right now, you can mount other hard files, but not this one, then I have two suggestions...

  It would be to use vmware-vdiskmanager to create a new hard that will not go up and the other would create a new empty hard, then add it to a virtual machine, as well as one that will not go up and then start with appropriate optical disk or an ISO Image containing the appropriate tools/utilities in order to image the drive to the new empty.  I usually use Symantec Norton Ghost for operations like this.  Then maybe a new mounts with VMDKMounter.

• How do you get the path of the data store or the URL of a virtual disk in vRealize Orchestrator?

  I need to eager zero a virtual disk while building a virtual machine. I found the eagerZeroVirtualDisk_Task() under VcVirtualDiskManager function, which takes in 2 parameters:

  name - (String) the name of the disk, is a path to the data store or a URL pointing to the virtual disk that needs to be inflated.

  Data Center - (VcDatacenter) if the name is a path of data store, the data center for the path of the data store. Not necessary when called directly on ESX. If not specified on a call to VirtualCenter, the name must be a URL.

  How can I get the correct path of data store given the virtual disk? I intend to iterate through the features of the virtual machine to get the disks.

  Thank you!

  Actually figured out how to get the path of the data store, and how a drive zeros. In case it is useful to share the code here:

  var vimHost = vm.vimHost; VM instanceof VCVirtualMachine

  var vDiskMgr = vimHost.virtualDiskManager;

  for each disk

  var features = vm.config.hardware.device;

  for each {(dev var in devices)

  dev.backing contains a lot of useful things...

  If (dev instanceof VcVirtualDisk) {}

  a disc!

  var dsPath = dev.backing.fileName;

  System.log ("path of disk:" + dsPath);

  Data var Center =

  System.getModule('com.vmware.library.vc.datastore').getDatacenterForDatastore (dev.backing.datastore);

  var vcTask = vDiskMgr.eagerZeroVirtualDisk_Task (dsPath, datacenter);

  wait

  var waitResult =

  System.getModule('com.vmware.library.vc.basic').vim3WaitTaskEnd (vcTask, true, 5);

  }

• HELP: Cannot find the local storage vmdk file - use an existing virtual disk

  Hello

  Version: ESXi 5.5

  HP Server

  Local hardware-stockage - 2 raid cards - 1) for ESXi os 2) for the virtual machine

  (1) I added 2 FVO and VMDK (12 giga) files from the Vsphere Client interface to the storage 2-> Browse the data store and a download of my files - no problem

  (2) I'm trying to create a virtual Win2K8R2 machine and when I want to use a virtual disk available - I m from the disk to the file path with innovation - I go to my storage2 - empty - nothing - I m not able to use the VMDK file!

  If you can give me advice or a solution, that would be great

  PS: I use chmod on my 2 files, RW is no one

  Best regards

  RV

  Welcome to the community,

  Assuming you are trying to do this with an OVF default value, it's actually what to expect. Instead of upload files on a datatore, import the OVF menu "File" of the vSphere Client.

• Convert virtual disk from IDE to SCSI now Server 2008 does not start

  Hi all

  I hope that one of you guys can solve my problem.

  I'm new to vmware and have managed to convert my 2008 physical server to a virtual server, but when this virtual disk has been set to IDE, I read that I need to use SCSI for better performance then I attributed a new virtual disk to my server and clone the IDE hard drive on the SCSI disk using EASEUS disk copy software.

  After I cloned the drive I removed the IDE hard disk but my server continues to display the BSOD 0x0000007b error (inaccessible boot volume). I can't start normally or through safe mode. If I try to use the recovery mode no drives appear.

  I use the LSI Logic SAS controller type and have tried the parallel LSI Logic Controller without result.

  Is it possible to fix my guest operating system, without having to reinstall?

  Thank you very much

• Get the list of virtual machine names and addresses IP to a specific folder

  I am trying to get a list of virtual machine names and the IP addresses of a specific folder in vCenter. The problem is that there are several files with the same name in different folders. I need to know how to specify the level folder higher in which lies the customer10 folder. Here is an example of my current script that pulls all the info from the virtual machine of all folders named customer10:

  Get-vm-location customer10 | Select Address Name,@{N="IP." E = {@($_.guest.) (IPAddress[0])}} |
  out-file c:\VM_IP_Addresses.csv

  The PowerSHell engine is to 'know' the function before you call it.

  Save the function in a .ps1 file.

  Point source then this .ps1 file. Make sure that you are placed in the directory where the .ps1 is stored, or use the full path

  PowerCLI C:\ >. ./GetFolderByPath.ps1

  Note that there is an empty space between the 2 points!

  Now you can call the function

  PowerCLI C:\ > Get-FolderByPath-path MYDC/myFolder. Get - VM | Select the name...

• How to get IP address of each virtual computer in my TIME?

  Hello

  I want to instantiate a VAPP model and retrieve each IP address to each virtual computer within the vAPP.

  I instantiated a VAPP-based VM 2, with 1 card ethernet by VM, in mode "static IP pool.

  The instantiate part is ok, my TIME is deployed and started, but I can't "find how to retrieve their intellectual property.

  First of all, I have to retrieve the name of each virtual machine, then get their IP address? or is there another way?

  Thank you in advance,

  Try this... I guess you can get objects VM of vApp, right? If so, try to pass in a vm this object:

  var network = vm.getNetworkConnectionSection();
  var nets = network.networkConnection.enumerate();
  for each (net in nets){
      System.log("External IP Address: "+net.externalIpAddress);
      System.log("IP Address: "+net.ipAddress);
      System.log("IP Address Allocation Mode: "+net.ipAddressAllocationMode);

• How to get address Virtual Machine MAC on which vmware tools is not installed

  Hello

  I'm putting the MAC address of a virtual machine in a string. At first, I was using this script:

  strMACAddress = objVM.guest.net [0] .macAddress;

  But as indicated in the title, the vmware tools are not installed on the virtual machine. I found a similar position in vSphere Web Services SDK:

  http://communities.VMware.com/thread/254204

  In this post, it is specified to use the script VcVirtualEthernetCard() object. I'm new to Orchestrator and I do not understand how to make a "myVcVirtualEthernetCard" link to my virtual computer object 'objVM '.

  Example:

  IN: objVM (VcVirtualMachine)

  OUT: macAddress

  var myVcVirtualEthernetCard = new VcVirtualEthernetCard();

  macAddress var = myVcVirtualEthernetCard.macAddress;

  Thank you for your help.

  Hello!

  You can browse the table config.hardware.device of the virtual machine:

  IN: vm (Vc:VirtualMachine)

  DEPARTURES: Macaddresses (Array/string)

  //initialize macAddresses array (to make a push() possible later)
  macAddresses = new Array();
  var deviceArray = vm.config.hardware.device;
  if (!deviceArray) throw "Error getting hardware config array of VM";
      System.debug("deviceArray: " + deviceArray);
  //loop through array, find NICs and retrieve there MACs
  for (var i in deviceArray) {
      var currentDevice = deviceArray.pop();
      if (currentDevice) {
          System.debug("currentDevice: " + currentDevice);
          if (currentDevice instanceof VcVirtualE1000 ||
              currentDevice instanceof VcVirtualPCNet32 ||
              currentDevice instanceof VcVirtualVmxnet ||
              currentDevice instanceof VcVirtualVmxnet2 ||
              currentDevice instanceof VcVirtualVmxnet) {
                  System.debug("found network card on " + currentDevice);
                  macAddresses.push(currentDevice.macAddress) ;

• How to get the Mac address of a virtual machine?

  Hello world...

  I need help to get the MAC address of a virtual computer, I'm stuck in it.

  Please reply if anyone know solutions.

  Thank you

  Mahesh Thawari

  Here's a vSphere SDK for Perl script that extracts the MAC addresses for all your virtual machines - http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-10490

  You should be able to take it and translate it into any language vSphere SDK you plan to use. Basically you'll be listing through virtual hardware for the virtual machine to search for devices of type VirtualEthernetCard and then retrieve the MAC address of each device.

• Get the IP address of the virtual computer? (when no DNS available)

  I have a strange setup where I have a server vCenter runs in a private network that has no DNS available IN-HOUSE.  I am running the scripts that query an IP address range, but takes forever to run.  I can run get - vm and get all virtual machines, but can't do anything with them because there is no DNS and I can't find a way to enter the IP address of the virtual computer.  If I could get the IP addresses I could then run functions against them.  If it makes a difference those VMS have two network cards: Public and private.  Any ideas?

  The Get - VM cmdlet returns the IP addresses to the title of Guest.IPAddress count of the first IP address use as well:

  Get-VM |Where {$_.PowerState -eq "PoweredOn" } |foreach { Write "$($_.Name) has an IPAddress of $($_.Guest.IPAddress[0])" }

• get Windows to recognize an increase in the size of the virtual disk

  I just installed Fusion to a new Mac computer, and I installed Windows as well.  I did not notice that Fusion has allocated only 40 GB ramdisk Windows until I got warnings 'disk full '.  I figured out how to increase the size of the virtual disk, but Windows think there always only 40 GB.  How can I get Windows to recognize the virtual disk space increased?

• Problem in a mount vmdk file: could not get a VIM ticket for this virtual disk.

  Hello

  I have a virtual machine on ESX 3.0.1

  When I get the file vmdk directly from ESX, it gets mounted successfully from the command prompt using the mount utility.

  But when I try to mount the vmdk by VI file it displays error "Unable to get a VIM ticket for this virtual disk" on the command line.

  I tried this for other virtual machines also and most of them work.

  What is the reason for the error "unable to get a ticket for this virtual disk VIM.

  How can I get this vmdk file mounted by VI?

  Can you show the virtual computers view of inventory? The image you show of hosts and Clusters discovered.
