• Adding multiple RDMs to a virtual machine

  Hello community... we do a lot of fun virtual project of the SQL cluster, running on ESXi 5.0. Without going too much into the details of design, I'm looking to try to generate scripts, adding a bunch of RDM (45ish) for a virtual machine. The RDM were presented to the guests, so the next step is to add the ROW appropriate to the virtual machine in the right order.  Here is a partial list of the available RDM:

  

  Based on our design, I know that 46 LUN must go in SCSI 1:1, 47 LUN must go to SCSI 2:1, 48 LUN must go to SCSI 3:1, and so on. I have a worksheet that has a correlation between LUN ID and SCSI ID required.  I can also manually add 1:0, 2:0, 3:0 for created controllers. What I would do is script the rest.

  I saw a number of scripts, and I don't quite see what I need.  To begin with, how can I specify LUN ID?  From there the questions keep coming. Any ideas/suggestions?  Thank you!

  The error is because there are 2 controllers returned (the same one twice).

  If you have 2 connections open vSphere? Make one

  Global $: defaultviservers

  If there is more than 1 entry displayed, you should check if you are in multi mode. Make one

  Get-PowerCLIConfiguration

  scopes 1 says "multiple"?

  If so, cut 1 vSphere connections. For example, by

  Disconnect-ViServer-Server $global: defaultviservers [0] - confirm: $false

  Then check if the SCSI controller Get returns only 1 object.

• Prevention of multiple clients, control a virtual machine

  I use the VIX API to do a simple set of operations

  I open a vm, back to a snaphsot, then turn on the virtual machine and run some commands on it. Finally I close. I have a problem that the virtual machine is accessible by several customers of VIX API - performing the same sequence. Clients are independent of each other. The only shared resource is the virtual machine. I was wondering if it is possible, somehow, to prevent clients from multiple access to the virtual machine at the same time. I want that the whole of the operation back to the snapshot to turn off the virtual machine to be atomic. I see that I can detect the power state and act accordingly, but this leaves a void while I get him back to the snapshot. Is it possible to use the functions WriteVariable and ReadVariable to act as indicators?

  Thanks for your help in anticipation!

  VIX deosn have some way to lock a virtual computer.  RaedVaraible and WriteVariable (of type VIX_VM_CONFIG_RUNTIME_ONLY) could allow you to put your own advice in place (plenty of room for races but still).  Note that the measurement of these values is in the .vmx file, choose your variables names closely (you won't affect the virtual machine by putting something important) and error recovery can also gets complicated if your application ends messy and does not clear the flag.

• How to make a submission even as RDM for two Virtual Machines

  Hi I have a question.

  We have a server ESX4.0 with two Virtual Machines running on it. I presented a 100 GB of SAN storage to this particular ESX host, this storage space must be shared between two virtual machines as RDM.

  But when I add this storage on a computer virtual as RDM, it does not allow me to present the same storage another VM, of RDM is displayed under the name hidden. Is it possible to do so.

  Kind regards

  Khurram Shahzad

  This is only possible with the MSCS clustering functionality.  With the same logic unit or disc number to multiple hosts without clusting will damage the volume of data / as the new system will try to initialize the disk.

  Your RDM may also need to be in virtual compatibility mode to do this.

  The guide of vmware on clustering with MSCS and there should be information about it.

• Powecli set IP for a Windows virtual machine, IP pool

  Hello

  I followed all the steps in this article https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.networking.doc%2FGUID-DBF79F52-925A-4D0D-893C-49B911D3AC54.html and I need the following to make it work,

  1. pursuant to article when an IP pool is configured, mapped to a portgroup VM in this network is VAPP options enabled and I put it in the static pool of IP.

  2. so when a virtual machine is on the network adapter in the virtual machine must be assigned an IP address from the IP pool.

  3. but VM NIC adapter gets never assigned with an IP address from the pool and VMware have confirmed this IP pool do not have a capacity to push an IP address to the virtual machine.

  I'm looking for a script that can be kept inside the virtual machine and pull an IP address pool option or VAPP machines IP and assign the adapter NIC VM (Windows). Probably via the VMware tools? Let me know any possibility for that?

  The use of IP pools is like poking yourself in the eye. It feels better when you stop

  If you cannot use DHCP and must use IP pools there are a ton of up front configuration mucking about to make:

  1. Follow the first article you have linked
  2. In the options of vApp for the VM in properties and then create a property for each of the things you want to get the pool of IP (IP, etc.). When to create the entries under type select dynamic property can find the correct entry in the drop-down list then the values come from the IP pool
  3. 
  4. Set up an auto start task (a scheduled task that starts at the start) in your model of virtual machine to run a script that:
     1. Expect that VMware tools start
     2. Run vmtoolsd to get the values of vApp in the VM in XML format
        1. 'C:\Program VMware Tools\vmtoolsd.exe-' cmd 'info-get guestinfo.ovfEnv '.
     3. Parse the XML file to extract the intellectual property, etc..
     4. 
     5. Run the OS commands (netsh, wmic, vbScript (wmi) or Powershell (perhaps native, perhaps wmi according to version)) to take the values from the XML file, and then set the operating system options

  Outside this configuration he plays poorly as the 'network' in the dynamic property is bound to a group of specific ports. If you try to deploy widely, this means a VM model by group of ports (blech!)

  Hope this help to help you started (or persuade you to use DHCP)

• RDM for several virtual machines on the same LUN

  Hi, I have a requirement for multiple virtual machines to have access to the same LUN filestore. I think create ROW for each virtual computer to the LUN. I wanted to ask if this is possible and if someone put in place before?

  Are there issues making this record to file/san locks?

  Thank you

  Once you add the raw device map to a virtual computer, you can not add it to each other as well.

  It would satisfy your requirement to add to a virtual computer, assign it a drive name or folder, then that spread out and have another card SMV a drive to it?  Depending on what you're trying to do, which can satisfy because it will work.

• retrieve multiple information for a virtual machine

  I need an overview of our virtual machines. PowerShell and the VIToolkit is new to me. So I'll try to explain what I want to do.

  with get-vm I want to collect the name, cpunum and MemoryMB get - hard drive should get the entire disk by virtual machine.

  All are formatted as a table so that I can see

  Name CpuNum MemoryMB hard drive

  vm1                2                    1024                50GB

  to get the values for a cmdlet without problem, but to JOIN them is the place where I resign.

  You can use foreach (alias is %) statement to loop through multiple values.

  First you get all the guests, then for each guest, you get all hard drives (can be greater than 1) and you store all properties in a variable ($row).

  Each $row is added in the $report table.

  In the end you simply view the full contents of the $report table

  $report = @()
  Get-VM | % {
      $vm = $_
       $vm | Get-HardDisk | % {
            $row = "" | select Name, CpuNum, MemoryMB, Harddisk
            $row.Name = $vm.Name
            $row.CpuNum = $vm.NumCpu
            $row.MemoryMB = $vm.MemoryMB
            $row.Harddisk = $_.CapacityKB
            $report += $row
       }
  }
  $report
  

• How to set the vlan native on a virtual machine in vSphere when you use the 1000V?

  Using the General switch original vSphere, we put VLAN native by VM by setting the VLAN 0 d.

  How do we set VLAN native for a virtual machine, if the virtual computer is connected to a 1000V? I heard that is over, we can use VLAN ID 0?

  Same way as you would on any Cisco switch.

  Add this command to your profile of uplink port:

  switchport trunk vlan native X

  Keep in mind there is no VLAN 0.  VLAN '0' is just how vmware means the VLAN untagged.  There are valid in accordance with the standard 1-4095.

• Virtual machines with oscillating clusters RDM

  People,

  We have two clusters at two knots with all nodes running ESX3.5 U1. Clusters have different CPU types that prevent from VMotion between clusters. All nodes are attached CF and share storage on an EMC CLARiiON CX3-80. Currently VMFS data warehouses, which are for most of the OS disks, are shared by all clusters, but the RDM (data readers) are presented specifically to one or other of the clusters. We are planning a major reorganization of our infrastructure which means Exchange effectively clusters for the majority of our virtual machines. Is there a more effective way of migration that detach the RDM, cold, migrate virtual machines and adding the back ROW on the other side?

  As you can tell my experience of internals VMware is currently quite limited, but I learn - as sometimes the hard way!

  Kind regards

  Paul Esson

  Hi Paul:

  Everyone here has some excellent suggestions. However, cold migrate a virtual machine that has the RDM will actually convert or clone the content of the ROW in a virtual disk. The original content of the RDM will be left intact, and the only way to avoid the conversion with a cold-migrate is to remove from the configuration of your virtual machine first ROW (as you mentioned). With the help of Storage Vmotion will only move the pointer of the RDM files and actually does nothing with the RDM themselves. You'd still have to place them in your storage array to another cluster.

  See the following article for a bit more detail:

• You can edit vmx files on multiple virtual machines in a cluster to allow changes of setting delay start via RCLI or Toolkit VI?

  You can edit vmx files on multiple virtual machines in a cluster to allow changes of setting delay start via RCLI or Toolkit VI? How?

  SAs desire a lead time of 10 seconds through the virtual company composed of several VCs with multiple data centers and clusters.

  Known: we can edit the .vmx file and add: bios.bootDelay = "10000" this adds stunted ms 10000 (10 seconds) when starting

  Known: we may have to re-register or some other mechanism to apply the changes to the start on the VMS settings

  Has anyone tried to make a change of large company to bootDelay on VMS? Any help?

  The script below will do what you want. Have fun.

• Free auto-off setting on multiple virtual machines

  Hello

  I have several machines, I want to set the "auto-off free" Annotation on IT.

  I tried this

  Set-Annotation -Entity "VMname" -CustomAttribute "Auto-shutdown Exempt" -Value ON
  
  which works fine on 1 machine
  
  

  I created a folder and moved the VMs and tried

  Set-Annotation -Entity "folder name" -CustomAttribute "Auto-shutdown Exempt" -Value ON 

  but it did not work.

  I think I need to use the

  Get-file 'xxxx '. Set Annotation - entity $host - CustomAttribute "-free auto-off" - value WE

  But what value goes after - entity?

  I don't want to list all the names of virtual machine

  Thanks in advance

  You can try:

  Get-file 'xxxx '. Get - VM | Set Annotation - CustomAttribute "-free auto-off" - value WE

• Connect to virtual machines across multiple servers of connection for internal/external access

  Hello everyone

  My apologies if this is a silly question, but is it possible to have an individual virtual machine or pool accessible through multiple connection servers? Here is my setup and my scenario:

  Connection to server 1 - direct connect active, PCoIP, serving internal users.

  Connection to Server 2 - live disabled connect, RDP, coupled with a security server, serving external users.

  We seek to deploy Wyse PocketCloud on Wireless / 3G iPad so support for users outside the campus of the hospital can access their desktop.  Users will be expected to have office in the same condition as when they were on campus.  Our doctors are attracted to the iPad, then this will be a test for future deployment phase.

  VMS users are controlled by cs 1.  I would like that the possibility for users to directly connect to their virtual machines using PCoIP when they are internal and RDP via security server when they are external.  Is it possible without using a VPN or live with disabilities on cs connect 1?  I tried to add a virtual machine that has already been setup on cs 1 CS 2 but once cs 2 picks up I can connect is no longer the virtual machine through cs 1. Servers will also relay the reconfigure virtual computer every minute, so this is not the right way to do this.  Someone had customers or users who wanted to make something similar to this?  If so, how did you manage?

  Thanks in advance for your comments

  View what version are you running?  In later versions, you can set directly relate to the level of the server.  So now you can simply deploy a replica of your main connection server that runs Live mode while having your other login server in indirect.   This way you can have a view environment and run your desired configuration.

• Protection of virtual machines with RDM

  I read through some of the old discussions on replicate and protect RDM and I have not read any good news yet.

  I have a volume on a cluster v6080 reproducing with snapmirror to a cluster of fas6080. I checked that the LUNS are replicated and are mapped to the recovery site esx hosts. I have re-scanned on both sides and checked that the LUNS are presented through the Victoria Cross on both sides. I have a machine virtual with a 3 LUN RDM and VMFS LUNs (RDM were created with SnapDrive one 6.0). When I go to set up protection for the VM, VMFS LUNs status is "replicated" for the location of recovery, but 3 RDM show as "not configured". My only 2 options are to detach (which won't allow me to recovery these RDM) or to browse a data store on the recovering site and locate a hard, .dsk or .raw which does not exist because the replicated LUNS are read-only. Right?

  What Miss me? Anyone had success reproducing and failover RDMs attached to a virtual machine?

  Looking forward to your answers. Thank you.

  Eddie

  Eddie,

  I have problem with HP storage RDM similar hada. I made a new analysis (twice, as usual) in the configuration of SRM-online picture and then frames that worked for me.

• I had the opportunity to see all the drives in windows 7 and XP virtual machine on the same screen. He suddenly disappeared, and I need.

  As I set up my computer with Windows 7 Professional and XP virtual machine, I could see all the readers, W7 and the virtual machine on the same screen. I can't do now for some reason any. All I can understand what is is past is that I got a page long list of automatic updates of W7 and some XP updates and as far as I know, the current page of readers has disappeared since then.  I need this feature if I can transfer files between W7 and XP because some of my programs are in one program of windows. I have nothing special when I installed XP to achieve this functionality, so I really don't understand what it controls.  How can I get that back?

  I have solved my problem by trying everything that moves. Here are my steps:
  -Open Virtual PC and minimize it
  -In the Windows 7 machine, click Start click all programs
  -Select Windows Virtual PC
  -Select Windows Virtual PC (in the drop-down list)
  -When the window opens, right-click on Windows XP Mode
  -Select share >
  -Select the homegroup (read/write)

  -Minimized open Virtual PC
  -Select my computer
  Windows 7 disks will be under other

  I hope this works for you also. As I said, it worked like this until I had a huge list of automatic updates of Windows 7 and XP more some updates. Apparently, one of them cut something.
