• Host virtual computer and Migration of data store

  I'm curious. I have an environment with Cisco UCS UC servers without them. Due to they are C-Series all storage is local for UC virtual machines run. I'll add some of the UCS C-Series servers and you want to move two of my current C-Series server CPU virtual machines to the new. I have the license Enterprise Plus 4.1 for all servers and execution of vCenter. The migration will be basicall move local data store to store local data as well under the name from host to host. My plan is to turn off the virtual machines and migrate both host and the data store at the same time. I have groups of ports built as follows:

  Port of VMKernerl groups:

  -Storage (for future shared storage)

  -vMotion

  -PI

  -ESXi Mgmt

  Virtual machine:

  -CPU VMS

  -Machines virtual server

  My overall question is during this migration takes place this network (or a group of Port) will be the traffic go anywhere for the move? My guess is because it is the local storage, it will use the Mgmt. ESXi

  Thank you!

  If the virtual machine will be moved to store Local data to store common data shared through 2 esxi host, then the storage shared for local storage.

  So this will be the case through network vMotion and not via the management network.

  But you can enable vmotion on management network itself. If you have configured like this then yes communication will be via the management via vmotion network IPkerenel active network.

• Virtual machines by operating system in data center

  Hello people,

  I'm trying to write a script that totals VMs in a datacenter by operating system. Here's what I have so far:

  Get-vm-location (get-data center-name "DC1"). %{

  $totals [$_] ExtensionData.Config.guestFullName] ++

  }

  $totals

  This works for the DC1 datacenter, but what do I do if I want to collect totals for all data in my vCenter centers? I would also like to export the data to html format, so that it can be read as a report in a browser.

  Your help is greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Rob

  You could do something like that to get a report for each datacenter

  foreach($dc in Get-Datacenter){
    Get-VM -Location $dc |
    Group-Object -Property {$_.ExtensionData.Config.guestFullName} | %{
      Select -InputObject $_ -Property @{N="Datacenter";E={$dc.Name}},Name,@{N="Count";E={$_.Group | Measure-Object | Select -ExpandProperty Count}}
    }
  }
  

• How can I find out who created a new data center or virtual?

  Is there a specific log file?  I'm trying to find out who created a new data center and some VM.

  The events are not stored in a file, but are stored in the database of vCenter in the VPX_EVENT table. The creation of a data center is a vim.event.DatacenterCreatedEvent in the EVENT_TYPE column. The user who has created are in the USERNAME column. The name of the data center is in the DATACENTER_NAME column. Time of creation is in the CREATE_TIME column.

  I tried to create and delete a data center and after removing it, I could always find events in the database.

• Get - vm with location data center column

  How can I get info VM with data center location included in a column?

  I check $_Extensiondata.config and do not get it down there

  Try this:

  Tested with a virtual machine in a host of 'group '. I think that this may change if the host is not in a Cluster.

  Hope this works

• Use get - view to get the host data center

  Hey guys,.

  I'm trying to shoot the host number of name and the version with get-view.

  I got to that, but I also want to get the data center that host belongs to.

  How can I get that advice please, don't have Googling has not helped a lot.

  Thank you

  RJ

  With the ExtensionData property we have access to the object VirtualMachine .

  Most of the managed objects vSphere has a property, called Parent, which points to the object that is connected to our object (the ' mother' in other words).

  The content of the Parent property is a MoRef (pointer). To get the real object, we use the cmdlet Get-view with this MoRef.

  We repeat this process in a while loop until the parent object is an object of data center .

  It's a bit like the structure of the tree in the vSphere Client.

  You start with the ESX (i) server and back up in the tree until you encounter a data center.

• Mix the virtual switch different type in a Cluster and a data center.

  Can I mix standard virtual switch and a virtual switch distributed in different hosts to a Cluster/DataCenter? Can I vMotion virtual machine to a host of switch distributed to a host of standard switch and vice versa? Let's assume that the hosts have the same port group name (but have virtual swaitch different type), in the same data center, and have the same subnet IP vMotion.

  You can mix standard switches and distributed, that's what we call hybrid architecture... but to be able to migrate virtual machines between virtual switches, you must the vSphere 6 and again there are some limitations, like not be able to migrate from VDS vs.

• Renaming of data center, Cluster and Datastore in Evo's default object names

  Hello

  The data center, Cluster and vSAN Datastore objects in my Evo device newly installed all default to the label of 'MARVIN-... ». Is it safe to rename the appropriate labels to my environment, such as a location for my data center object? I suspect that it is not serious because the underlying UID will not change, but am looking for confirmation of a person who did successfully in a laboratory or production environment and who also managed to apply the patches of Evo subsequently.

  Thanks in advance.

  Yes, it is safe to rename these object types - Evo uses values of managed reference numbers (moref) object for the object of theses types - so that they are safe rename...

  The thing to keep away the trade of system generated for VMotion, VSAN, Marvin and management network. By all means, feel free to add other VM exchanges...

• Nested ESXi - problem when adding the cloned ESXi hosts to the same data center in vCenter

  Hi all

  I installed a VM ESXi5.5 on top of WOrkstation10 and made a clone of it. Two of them are accessible and functioning very well themselves.

  However, when trying a add these hosts to vCenter, he begins to complain that:

  "Data store"datastore1"is in conflict with a store of data that exists in the data center which has the same url.

  and will not let me add the second host. Is there a way to fix this?

  Any help would be appreciated...

• NFS share for one (1) added when adding to a new host in the existing data center

  I'm sure it's a simple answer, but I've been beating my head on the wall, trying to find a solution. The scenario is as follows:

  1 Vcenter has several hosts in different groups. All built at the same time with a NFS share that is shared among all.

  2. I add a new host to the data center (I tried independently and also added to a cluster as well).

  3. the new host sees its local disk as a data store, as expected, but I have to add the shared NFS datastore.

  4. at the level of the host, I go to configuration-storage-add storage and the NFS share.

  It shows and normal with NFS (1) as the name. I can't rename it as it says THAT NFS already exist. I understand that there are in the vcenter DB, but how to add this new host or host an existing environment and maintain the name of the NFS share? vCenter 5.5, 5.5 esxi

• vCloud Data Center hosts certified Services

  We are looking for a hosting provider. Can someone give me a list of what hosting providers expose Data Center Services vCloud vCloud Director auto services portal, where I am able to configure my cloud services based on a pool of resources of clouds we buy?

  I know bluelock is a. Who are the others?

  Thanks, Dave

  Hi Dave,.

  My apologies, a little slow on the response!

  vCloud Datacenter Services addresses in the enterprise space, and only a handful of providers a global level have this certification.  This essentially means that their environments have been jointly designed by VMware and the provider.  They use vCloud Director and expose the vCloud API.

  vCloud Powered suppliers such as StratoGen have built their own environments, but to be certified powered vCloud you must be a partner of provider for VMware Service (VSPP), deployment vCloud Director and expose the vCloud API.  You have a choice of billing models based on the 3 types of data center virtual in vCloud Director - fixed monthly allowance & booking pool models and variable rates by the hour on Pay plans pay as You Go.

  So the difference is really what you consider the market to be in - if you need a global business player then you should watch vCloud Datacenter Services, if you are into SMB or Mid market, then you should probably look vCloud Powered suppliers.

  Many vCloud providers offer a free test drive of their services, so you can try with zero commitment.

  vCloud Express was supposed to be the answer to VMware for Amazon EC2 - instant access to vCloud resources, only credit card payment, distribution plans by the payment of hours only.  Only a few ever offered vCloud Express providers.  You always vCloud Director, but you will see that there is nothing on the vCloud ecosystem as it rolled into vCloud Powered.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you

• How to move from DRS host back to default data center?

  Hello

  I tried to move a host in DRS default Datacenter by drag-and - drop, but the bar held on 2% of the day after...

  Thank you!

  You must isolate the virtual machines on the host before moving. I think that the 2% is due to vmotion on all virtual machines or stop the virtual machine.

  Another way would be to disconnect the host then delete and then re add back. but that means that all VM will appear in another data center. not advisable.

• Licenses of Microsoft and VMware data center

  Hello

  You have a question regarding Microsoft Licensing and VMware ESX hosts.

  We have a Microsoft School Agreement and a lot of our windows servers are running standard edition. One is business running. All about the physical servers.

  We are virtualizing some of our Windows servers and schools prices are very favourable if we buy a license of data center. Its about £70 and it means that we can run an unlimited number of Microsoft server VM in VMware. relation to the enterprise which is only £5 cheaper, but only allows you to run a maximum of 4 people.

  Question, I realized that a Windows license for data center would be per processor, so if I have 2 physical processorsin each esx host, I need to get 2 X Datacenter license per ESX host, is - that correct?

  If I bought 6 data center licenses (3 ESX host with 2 physical processors in each), what version of Windows server can be used, I understand his only standard or Premium, can anyone confirm this? It also covers Windows XP?

  Thank you

  > Question, I realized that a Windows license for data center would be per processor, so if I have 2 physical processorsin each esx host, I need to get 2 X Datacenter license per ESX host, is - that correct?

  Fix.

  License from Microsoft Windows Server 2008 to run with Virtualization Technologies

  Page 13:

  Instead of license servers with enough licenses Windows Server 2008 Standard to satisfy the greatest number of simultaneously running instances of Windows Server, the processors in servers could be allowed with Windows Server 2008, Datacenter Edition. This would allow an unlimited number of instances of Windows Virtual Server to run simultaneously in operating systems. Because the servers have two processors, two licenses of Windows Server 2008, Datacenter Edition for each server should be. Licenses of Windows Server 2008, Datacenter Edition provides the flexibility to move instances of Windows Server without concern to maintain the license compliance.

  > If I bought 6 data center licenses (3 ESX host with 2 physical processors in each), what version of Windows server can be used, I understand his only standard or Premium, can anyone confirm this? It also covers Windows XP?

  Anton is correct - Datacenter license covers only the OS Server.
