• Get the number of virtual machines per ESX host

  I am able to get the account with the following script command, but what I want to do is to report a 0 if there is no virtual machines on a host.  Currently it just show nothing if there are no VMs.  Any suggestions?

  Get-VMHost | Sort - the name of the property. Select Name, @{N = "VMCount"; E={($_ | Get - VM). County}}

  You can add an IF in the part of the expression.

  Try it like this

  Get-VMHost | Sort-Object Name | Select Name,@{N="VM";E={if(($_ | Get-VM).Count){($_ | Get-VM).Count} else {0}}}

• Virtual Center audit for virtual machines and ESX hosts

  Hi guys.

  I need to audit a system with 1000 + virtual PCs and hope you guys knew a script floating around in the VMware community who could interrogate Virtual Center for more information on all ESX and VMS hosts. Did anyone done something like this before?

  Looking for information on ESX, versions hostnames, Virtual Machines running on each host and the types of each virtual machine, the IP address of each virtual machine OS.

  Thoughts anyone?

  Thank you

• error when importing the VM to another esx host.

  Hello

  When I try to import the virtual machine from one esx host to another through VC converter. It gives me error to fix. Any help will be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Tanav

  Tanav,

  This error comes when Assistant failed to get the value of vmx import file. You can create a new virtual machine it and attach the existing drive and then try again to import the virtual machine.

  If you have shared storage on the connected server, you can simply vmotion between hosts. No need to import the virtual machine from one host to another.

• Import a virtual machine in ESXI Server

  Hello

  I'm having a problem importing a virtual machine into the ESXi server. I downloaded the folder with the VM and then after the download, I opened the folder in the data store, click on the .vmx file, add to the inventory and then when I go to power on the virtual machine, you receive an error.

  

  Can someone tell me what Idid hurt, actually there at - it a guide step by step somewhere?

  Thank you

  Richard

  for me, I like to use the converter, it works and takes care to ensure that all parts of the VM needrf are transferred into your ESX (i) environment.

  Download VMware Converter, install and convert machine.   Source type is another virtual machine of VMware or VMware Workstation.  Type of destination will be the virtual machine VMware Infrastructure.

  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.

• 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

• addition of virtual machine / Server esx for production environment

  Hello

  How can we add virtual machine or esx server for production environment?

  In general... As his "simple terms?

  Install ESXi host

  Install, run and connect to the host via the gateway client installed from the host on an external workstation

  Then

  OR THE OTHER

  Install and run the converter on each physical computer that you want to become a virtual machine

  Once finished, turn off power to virtual and physical.

  OR

  Create a virtual machine and install the o/s CD drive.

  What you want is way off the coast without 1 million questions about your installation.

• Transfer a Virtual Machine in Esx 2.5 to an ESX 4.1

  Hi all

  For a client, I need to transfer 3 virtual machines on an ESX 2.5 in stand-alone mode (local storage / VMFS2) for a new ESX 4.1 (local storage / VMFS3)

  I'm looking for a solution but without success. I see two ways to to do, but I can't test it before the migration, so could you give me your advice.

  (1) I copy all virtual machines in ESX 2.5 to the new storage to ESX 4.1 with scp.

  I create the virtual machine with the vmdk

  I put the last VmTools

  Upgrade virtual hardware

  (2) I have try the VmConverter username but I don'k know if he recognizes the VM Esx 2.5

  Is there another solution?

  Thanks for your help!

  Kind regards

  Franck

  the best solution in my opnion is with converter http://downloads.vmware.com/d/info/datacenter_downloads/vmware_vcenter_converter_standalone/4_0?hl=pt-BR&sourceid=gd&rlz=1Q1GGLD_pt-BRBR411BR412

  After the conversion to put vmware tools and after upgrade virtual HW.

• 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.

• IO emits virtual machines in a host

  Hi guys

  I have a 2 Server ESXi cluster build 1065491 for a month of monitoring reported some problems with virtual machines - ping has disappeared.

  After that, I found that VMs statement of losers pings were accommodated in the same server ESXi. Today, a problem has been reported with the vCenter apparatus which did not... do more research I found that all of the virtual machines that are hosted in this particular host appeared this message Windows - Linux

  any idea what could cause this problem? or how to fix it?

  Important that I moved a Windows 2012 VM without ESXi server to the problem and messages LSI_SAS and disc problems began to appear

  Thanks a lot guys

  Hello

  I do not understand the LSI SAS and mptscsi messages are coming inside the guests who are having a controller LSI. I agree to a point that the vmhba0 of LSI in the server maybe nothing to do with errors inside the guests because you do not have virtual machines in the local data store but CF.

  So, let's take a look at the usual suspects:

  1. as Memmad has pointed out, in the vmkernel journal, we can see if the FC lun is seen no problem and is reported.

  2 the ESX does very slowly during the execution of commands like esxcfg-scsidevs - m or esxcfg-rescan vmhbaX [X your CF Adapter]

  3 - is the lun configured for multi path in the face of questions, CF once again, it can be newspapers vmkernel. ?

  4. I'm sure that the paging file will be generated when the FC lun, but they have a check if the last file to update the directory of the virtual machine swap at the present time. This is to eliminate any delay in the swap file in writing of the customer due to CF issues.

  5. There was questions previous similar to yours as VM lose pings, decline in performance, but they were in iscsi and 4.1 KB here

  It seems that the guests are abandoned or their scsi reset commands that seems to be the issue here.

• virtual machine on the host computer has been detected to have a duplicate ip address

  I have seen several threads about this, but they are all either point to one) all resources used or b) firewall issues, and since I have neither, I wanted to see if anyone knows the answer...

  I have 6 servers identical all running the same exact version of ESX Server 3i 3.5.0 build-153875 and 5 of them work perfectly, but the 6th gives the same error as the original poster. It obviously isn't a problem of firewall from the 5 / 6 work very well and I connect to all (and about 15 other servers vmware ESX Server) of my workstation. The server with the question has no installed VMs (don't stay connected long enough to build a) and he passesd all hardware diagnostics I run on it. It has an IP address static, put in place like all other servers and ESX I reinstalled several times.

  Looking at the logs, I see this message: virtual machine on the host has been detected with a duplicate IP address

  How is this possible, is that there is still no VMs on that? Anyone know how to fix this?

  How is this possible, is that there is still no VMs on that? Anyone know how to fix this?

  Not sure why she complains VM, as you didn't tell any virtual machine set up, but define you as static.  Are you sure that you do not use an IP address already in use?

  Disable the ESX host, can you ping the IP?  Something is using this IP address somewhere, so the message can be vague, but something is causing an IP address conflict.
