• Set the host name for a virtual machine

  While the vApps instantiation using a model about the same way as the sample of HellovCloud.java, I need to be able to change the host name (called the name of the computer in vCD) of the only virtual machine contained in the VAPP. I can't find examples on how to do it. Any ideas?

• VCenter shows a network for a virtual machine that is not associated with any host

  I have a win2k3 VM who at one point had a network assigned to him called "MONITORING".  This network is configured is no longer in the ESXi (5.5) environment.  The virtual machine is connected to a network called "PRD-SURVEILLANCE" which is correct.  It's not really cause a problem, but I can't find a way to get rid of the object of MONITORING network.

  In VCenter MONITORING networks has a VM of 1 meter, the number of hosts of 0.  I also see it in the VM - dialog box, change the settings, but there is no option to remove it.  Profile Image to the virtual machine is version 10 so I can't use the old Client of VI to try to remove it.  I have checked each host and do not see this listed network object.

  I tried to restart the VM, it migration between hosts, changing its network of SURVEILLANCE of PRD to another network and vice versa and close - remove NIC and add a new card network.  MONITORING legacy network still appears in the config.

  For the virtual machine's .vmx file shows that the correct network: ethernet0.networkName = 'RDP-ANALYSIS '.

  Any suggestions on how I can remove the artifact of MONITORING network?

  The virtual machine has a preview that was created at the time where the MONITORING network was still affected?

• How to configure the CD driver on the host for a virtual machine?

  After you create a virture machine and put the CD of driver on host, when powered on the vertual machine, may not start the drive form the CD only from NIC.

  How to configure the CD driver on the host for a virtual machine?

  Right-click on the virtual computer and go to edit settings. Click the Options tab and under the tip list, there should be Boot Options. Enter an amount of milliseconds to wait before your boot, so you can activate the CD-ROM. You can also activate the CD even if it boots to the NETWORK card option, and then reset the virtual machine. Get the focus of this virtual machine on the console session, and then press ctrl-alt-insert. Your CD-ROM will stay connected if you do not want to delay the startup process.

  However, I was not able to solve the problem.

  The full message is as follows:

  Fret is disabled for this virtual machine.  Shrinkage is disabled for linked clones, parents of clones related, préalloués disks, snapshots, and other factors.

  This virtual machine has definitely shrunk in front.  I tried to reinstall VMWare Tools and it does not correct.  I checked that there are no snapshots in the Snapshot Manager.  I also tried as suggested by one of the sons: adding a snapshot and then remove it.  I'm unable to the fret.  Of course, this isn't a linked clone or a parent of a linked clone (do not know how to use them).  How can I tell if it is a pre-allocated disk (I don't think it's, but who knows)?

• SRM 5.5 - vSphere replication - error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine. A snapshot operation cannot be performed

  Hi all, we have just run a test DR failover of a couple of virtual machines in our protected our failover site and all site swung perfectly, two virtual machines came online and all applications work well. However when we cam to r-eprotect machines virtual, we get some errors.

  One of the virtual machines seems to have lived the reprotect end process, it is still running, but has not moved to 89% for some time. The virtual machine has a couple of grand (a little less than 2 TB) VMDK. slow progress is just a consequence of the large VMDK?

  More worrisome is the virtual machine which don't reprotect at all. It generates an error whenever I click on the "Restore" button (error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine.) A snapshot operation can not be performed).

  
  Does anyone have any ideas as to the cause?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Finally got to the bottom of this. The issue was that reprotect SRM work was trying to dispel any snapshots that were taken on the computer object virtual destination in VMWare, but could not clean snapshots.

  The reason why snapshots would not consolidate was because it was snapshots of temporary VEEAM who in fact any snapshot file listed in the VSAN data store. So when we looked through the browser data store, no snapshot file existed in the virtual computers folder. Trying a manual removal also failed.

  To fix this, we created a snapshot of the virtual machine in the original data center (note is the engine to the bottom of the virtual machine), this effect was to get rid of the 'fade' snapshot that was visible in the Snapshot Manager that VEEAM backup had left behind. Once this had disappeared, the reprotect back to DCA worked perfectly.

• Change tracking (CTK) block is supported for this virtual machine, but was refused. This will increase the CPU proxy and consumption of IOP.

  I have problems with a client of VMware image-level in an EMC Avamar backup.  So far, we have not been able to find information about this message in the backup log file.  It is originally the backup to take a very long period of time (on average 10-11 hours).

  2014-02-28 14:20:57 avvcbimage < 14681 > Info: change tracking (CTK) block is supported for this virtual machine, but was refused. This will increase the CPU proxy and consumption of IOP.

  We cannot determine why CBT is "denied".  Has anyone here run across this issue before or seen any other type of backup VMware image have denied CBT?

  Everything I checked watch that CBT is successfully activated since the file vmx for the customer to the Avamar config.

  ESXi host is Enterprise Plus 4.1.0 260247

  After spending some time on this issue, the ultimate resolution withdrew the Avamar vm and then add it again.  After that, CBT began to work properly.  It seems that there is a parameter that has been 'stuck' pertaining to this virtual machine that wasn't behaving properly.

• Setting Options such as Hotplug for all virtual machines

  Hello!

  I have about 5 esxi hosts 5 and about 50 virtual machines

  Unfortunately I forgot to select some options like activate the plug-in memory and cpu hot

  I have 2 questions

  1 can I do this without turning off the machine

  2. How do I make a few options like this (or for example another option as vmtools update during the feeding cycle) for all virtual machines in my environment

  It's too much time to go to all virtual machines and turn them off and turn on these options

  Thank you very much

  These features must be enabled before the virtual machine is running.  So, you will need to turn them off and then use something like powercli to enable the features and turn them back on.

  Here is an example on how to do it with powercli: http://ict-freak.nl/2009/10/05/powercli-enabledisable-the-vm-hot-add-features/

• Can join a Cluster of storage disk out of Maintenance DTS Mode to set up the profiles for a virtual machine storage policies?...

  Can join a Cluster of storage disk out of Maintenance DTS Mode to set up the profiles for a virtual machine storage policies?...

  
  IE can you define the rules of affinity DTS depending on how the rules of storage of profiles are configured for a virtual machine?

  In my mind it seems there is disconnect from the DTS and storage profiles.

  Thank you.

  My lab at home, 2 organizes running ESXi 5.0

  Dv01 has

  Vmfs 1 TB 7200 RPM = VM02-VMFS

  VM02 has

  Of startup vmfs 7200 RPM 160 G = VM02-BOOT

  Vmfs 1 TB 7200 RPM = VM02-VMFS

  Vmfs 5900 RPM 2 TB = VM02-TV01

  I have (3) facility profiles of storage using 'User-defined storage Capablity' as shown below:

  (160 @ 7200 RPM SATA) boot > Boot

  Fast (160 7200 RPM SATA and 1 TB @ 7200 RPM SATA) > fast

  Slow (2 TB @ 5900 RPM SATA) > slow

  Then, I set up a storage Cluster with my local disks on dv01 (only to date)

  LocalVM disc dv01-BOOT and dv01-VMFS disk of the 'cluster of storage.

  I have a computer virtual called DC01 (HardDisk1) want to live on 'Boot' profile storage drive
  His "Non-compliant" poster according to the storage profile, it should run on drive 'boot' on dv01

  To get to this point, I put the StorageCluster in Mode of Maintenace 'DTS' and forced a sVmotion of all virtual machines off dv01-BOOT

  No disks are IO or claim of space.

  But once I take the 'DTS Maintenacne mode' STARTUP dv01 floppy is now get the DTS to return him to satisfy the storage profile (rule) I install... IE do the 'storage profile' VM complient (without doing a few externall API, the PS script or the 3rd party software calls)... ??

  Seems weird it is (or may be) such disconnection of a memory of the profiles and the StorageClusters and the DTS?

  Thank you...

  At this point, I think that storage DRS and storage profiles are two technologies to separate and work independently, but what you suggest is a great idea-

• ESXi 5 - Longmode is disabled for this virtual machine.

  Hello

  I installed ESXi 5.0.0 469512 on a Dell Optiplex 755 with Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 processor @ 3 .00GHz with 4 GB of RAM. In the BIOS (version A21), I have the following options enabled:

  Performance-

  Virtualization: on

  VT for direct i/o: on

  Execution of trust: on

  Security-

  TPM security: on

  Activation of the TPM secure: assets

  Execute Disable: on

  I am unable to run any 64-bit OSs. For example, when I try to start vMA VM 5.0, I get the following Message from the Virtual Machine:

  "This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit operating systems. However, the 64-bit mode is not possible.

  Longmode is disabled for this virtual machine.
  For more information, see http://VMware.com/info?id=152 .
  Continue without 64 bit support? »

  I ran the "processor check for 64-bit compatibility ' and if confirmed I can run 64-bit guest OS.

  I tried to add vhv.allow = "TRUE" to/etc/vmware/config, but it made no difference.

  In the vmware.log file is that it makes meantion 'virtualization software is incompatible with the long mode on this platform. Disabling longmode. "I have attached the full logfile for details.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you Paul.

  According to the log file

  Frequent: MSR 0x3a = 0x3--> currently '0011', should be 'x 1 x 1 "'.

  VT - x is not enabled (bit 0 + 2 required)

  There were other debates, where that allows "Trusted execution" cause problems. I "suggest that you configure the settings of the BIOS as follows:"

  Performance-

  Virtualization: on (assuming it's VT - x)

  VT for direct i/o: Off (unless you need it)

  Execution of trust: Off

  Security-

  The TPM secure security: Off

  Activation of the TPM secure: inactive

  Execute Disable: on

  After you change the settings, you will need to power cycle the system.

• Upgrade VMware Tools for multiple virtual machines by power Cli

  Hello

  I'm looking to improve the tools of vmware for several virtual machines through scripts. As VM1, VM2, Vm3,... VM50.

  Update-tools-VM VM1 - NoReboot  (Applicable only for virtual machines unique sound)

  Any help will be appreciated in do I have to upgrade about 100 VMs which was migrated from ESX3.5 to ESXi4.1

  Thank you

  VMguys

  The cmdlet Update-tools has a NoReboot parameter.

  When you set this switch, normally should not be a reboot after the upgrade.

  Get-VM-name (1.50 | % {' VM$ _ "}) | Update-tools - NoReboot

  If you set the switch to $false, there will be a restart if necessary.

  Get-VM-name (1.50 | % {' VM$ _ "}) | Update-tools - NoReboot: $false

  Note that this method of first creating a table with all the names of the virtual machine you want, is faster than the previous example, I gave.

  In this case you only do a Get - VM with all the names, instead of 50 individual.

• Maximum number of virtual disk for a virtual machine in vSphere 4.1

  I read the maximum record rate and see that the maximum number of virtual disk is 16 for FT.

  I have the same document I seem not to be able to see the number max of virtual disk that can be taken in charge for a virtual machine.

  The number will be the same as the number of LUNS per host which is 256?  I know the max is for the host, but that be will come the number of Director to the total number of virtual disk that can be supported in the virtual machine?

  In fact, in a logic unit number, we can have more than one data store that can be mapped to a virtual disk.

  I'm confused.

  Thank you and have a nice week,

  Anthony.

  If I am not mistaken, you can attach up to 60 virtual disks to a virtual machine. 15 for each of the 4 virtual SCSI controllers.

• WAIT % - % IDLE, what is the average for a virtual machine?

  I did some research on performance of VM problems and worked with the media to see that there is maybe a bottle neck IO that occur with a virtual VMware machine I have performance problems on. The technician found that the WAITING % - % IDLE on average for this virtual machine is around 200%. The tech said it was abnormally high. I forgot to ask her what was normal but wanted to put a post to see if some people out there know what they are on average. What is an average number of see? I have the system done nothing right now and I see 579% waiting and 372% IDLE. The technology has been able to confirm that no IO queue was occurring in the VMkernel or on the HBA controller.

  Some average % positions would be useful. Thank you.

  Supposibly the amount of time in a State of waiting for I/O is the WAIT - IDLE % difference. I was wondering if anyone had the numbers for this feeling. Is there anyone with some of them?

  Q: How will I know the VCPU world waiting for I/O events?

  A: WAIT - % IDLE % can give you an estimate on how much time processor is spent waiting for I/O events. It is an estimate only, because the world wait perhaps for other than the i/o resources. Note that we should do it only for the worlds of the WWW, not the other kind of worlds. Because the VMM worlds represent the best guest behavior. For the disk i/o, another alternative is to read the disk latency stats that we explain in the drive section.

  WAIT % by itself cannot be used, you must develop and examine the individual vCPU % EXPECTATION values and subtract their idle time.  You can't do it on the initial view of a single line by VM CPU in esxtop.  If technology that you mentioned did not explain it, he doesn't know what it takes.

  I have lots of virtual machines that are never less than 300% when I wait - % idle and I have no problems.

  It is an example, I caught NimSoft server:

  DHSNMS1 100 100 5 192.63 193,80 0.24 0.03 291,44 1.04

  %EST USED (s) 192 - in other words, almost two processors are used 100%

  The %Idle is 1.04% WAIT 291.44 - according to the calculation of waiting idle, I have a super serious problems of e/s past  But this isn't the case, and expanding, I can see that.

  5665 vmware-vmx 100 1 0.09 0.11 100.00 0.00 0.00 0.01

  5667 100 vmassistant.566 1 0.62 0.65 99,63 0.00 0.00 0.00

  5703 100 mks:DHSNMS1 1 0.01 0.01-100.00 0.00 0.00 0.00

  5704 vcpu 100 - 0:DHSNMS1 1 32,35 32.88 67,28 0.28 0.11 67,14

  5705 vcpu 100 - 1:DHSNMS1 1 31,58 32.05 68.11 0.00 67.85 0.12

  So the changed values unfortunately because of ESXTOP bike when you develop... which is annoying, but anyway.  In this you see % waiting is 67 and 68 with another respectively being 3 to 100% (which is normal) and the idle being %, 0, 0, 0, 67 and 67.8.  Doing the calculation on the processors shows a wait - slowed virtually 0 - or very little IO wait past with processors.  But if you add up all the expectations of % and % is idling, you have 434ish, and the 134ish and do the calculation is the difference of 300 - which is the 3 who are always 100%.

  So there is no way we can answer your question, we can only help you to understand how the values should be interpreted.

  Waiting for i/o States almost always go on the disc anyway, it is unlikely, therefore, the network or the user entered, looking at the stats of disc ESXTOP is a much better way to determine if there is a problem of e/s.
