• Best Senario distributed virtual machine between SAN LUNS and replication fail over Senario

  What the best best Senario for the installation of virtual machines on Big LUN or each VM on LUNS dedicated:

  We planninig to implement 70 virtual machines on Esx 3.5 servers with replication LUN usisng CA of HP 7.

  using 4 Big 800 GB data store on SAN RAID 5 Lun (each LUN will be contains 16 VMS)? or each VM will be deployed in separate small LUN 50 GB data store on SAN, RAID 5 and that this effect on the failure during the procedure on the DR Site if we choose BIG LUNs, also if this virtual machine includes 3 disks (store them on each disk on the different data store or the same data store)

  Thank you

  Remember that the virtual machine is a set of files and these files directly in your data store.  If you have a large store of data with multiple virtual machines, you must replicate the full data on the alternative site store in order to get to that data.  You can't really use greater SAN replication for just the simple vm in a data store.  SAN replication is not really aware of what is stored on it, she replied just blocks he knows.  You can copy the vm files individually as well, but it's more than a copy and not replication.  Otherwise, if you are concerned about vs some other vm, then using a small LUN would work better for you, or warehouses of data at multiple levels allows you to replicate the vm that are important to you and put the rest in a larger data store.

  FCIP/FC/IP doesn't really matter.  Until a table can talk to each other, you're fine.  Our secondary site is hundreds of miles away, and replicate us very well during the period of INQUIRY, from one table to the other.

  Yes, without SRM, you will need to manually register a virtual machine at the time, or write a script to work through all the.

• How the Virtual Machine port group communication?

  How the Virtual Machine port group communication?

  Port group is virtual aggregation of ports on vSwitch. A vSwitch can have multiple Port groups which separate the different network traffic. Port groups communicate with vSwitch, and we have physical network maps on vSwitch which establish communication with the external network. We can configure security, NIC teaming, traffic shapping nework political and at the level of the port groups. Once the port group is created, we can assign to vNIC

  How to establish communication?

  Public network > Switch L3 Core > ESXi physical adapter > vSwitch > groups > virtual NIC > Virtual Machine

  Virtual machine connect to the physical map using vNIC coming on Port groups. This is how it works.

• Open with: 'Application name' - 'Name of the Virtual Machine' (2.0.4) AND (2.0.5)

  Hello

  Looking for help here...

  I notice that if I try to open a file on my Mac with an application of my virtual machine (Win XP Professional) I get 2 options for each windows application:

  1. Windows Media Player - Windows XP Professional (2.0.4)

  2. Windows Media Player - Windows XP Professional (2.0.5)

  The 2.0.4 option never works but the 2.0.5 option. I know this has something to do with the upgrade to the latest 2.0.5 version, but how do you / is it possible to remove the non-fonctionnel 2.0.4 options?

  Help, please! It's pretty boring.

  I have only haveone of virtual machine set up.

  Make sure that the virtual machine is turned off and not suspended.  First locate the virtual machine in the finder.  You can do it by Ctrlclicking on it from the library of the virtual machine and choose Show in Finder.  In Finder Ctrlthe .vmwarevm of the virtual machine and choose "show package content".  If some shows as a folder go there.  Of in the virtual machine folder, you will see a folder named Applications.  Applications are the links to the Applications that you open in the virtual machine.  Remove vouchers there should do.  You may be able to determine the good by the update and the last number should be also the most recent.  These changes to take effect, you will need to reboot or restart the finder.  To restart the finder press and hold Esc, command,Option, and choose finder in there and restart.

  You can also just delete the Applications folder and then start the virtual machine.  Once that the virtual machine is started just enter the unit.  Entering the unit will recreate this Applications folder with the correct files in there.  You should always restart or restart the finder once this is done before it takes effect in the mac operating system.

• How to remove a virtual machine that has lost the storage

  Hello

  I want to remove the drive a virtual machine that has lost its storage. This storage kept OS files and so on. The problem is that because it is lost I can't access most options since they are grey (eg. delete disk). I can't get out of the inventory, but I want to remove it completely. It is impossible to recover the storage that was missing. What is a way to remove it?

  Thanks adavance

  It's because everything else for the virtual machine has been wrapped in storage.

• Working in a virtual machine of shared folders and not another...

  Hi, I'm new to the community but have worked with VMWare Workstation for about 9 months now. I have a set of 5 VM that I run on a regular basis, and I had successfully implemented the shared folders in each VM to a central folder on my C: drive host. I now have new versions of several of the virtual machine and I am trying to configure access to the same shared folder, but it will not be displayed.

  After you set up the information in shared folders in the virtual machine settings, I go into the virtual machine on my computer and expect to see under readers network, "Shared Folders on .host '. Who does not appear and when I try to map a network drive to //.host/Shared files /, it can't find the network.

  I compared the parameters between a virtual machine that has the Shared folder working and one who does not work, and I can't seem to find any differences.

  Here are some of my system details, if it helps:

  VMWare Workstation Version 6.5.2 build 156735

  Host of OS = Windows Server 2008 (64-bit)

  VM OS = Windows Server 2003 (32-bit)

  I've updated the VMWare tools in the virtual machine

  I have ideas of what I can try to get this working. Thank you!

  Try to upgrade the virtual hardware version 7 - maybe it does.

  Why don't you use the entries for the disks in cluster? -of course, you know that they are not stable in WS 6.5

• You can edit vmx file while the virtual machine is running? And is it safe?

  You can edit vmx file while the virtual machine is running? And is it safe?

  Hello

  Moved to the forum of the Virtual Machine and the guest operating system.

  If you edit the VMX while the virtual machine is powered on change is not levied until the power off then power on (not reboot) and there is a good chance that the change will be deleted when turn you off the system. So it is not safe to do so.

• Windows 7 - how? -Virtual Machine, Dual Boot

  I used Windows 8 until yesterday, but I decided to upgrade to Windows 7, because it was recommended and it supports all the necessary software that we use.

  I have a virtual machine was a natural choice, but then I struggled with my COM port that did not appear in the virtual computer's Device Manager. I'm desperate

  and almost tried a dual boot, but double boots, you are supposed to install the oldest operating system first! It would mean having to completely uninstall Windows 8.1.

  Am I missing something here? What is the best way to get Windows 7 running on my laptop so I can use the COM ports and use SSH to connect to Hugues paurais?

  Thanks for reading,

  Kevin

  I use Windows 7 on an iMac using Parallels.  It works fine for me.  I do not use the COM ports.  You don't need a com to ssh port.  SSH uses the network, not a serial port.  I think one of the videos showed how to use a com port for your installation of the NIC program.  You don't need to do.  You can get the network IP configuration using a HDMI monitor and a keyboard.

  Hello

  Open the Virtual Machine folder in the data store. There are vmware files-# log. VMware.log is the last file and the vmware - 8.log is the oldest archived newspaper. You can download and open as txt files.

• vCO workflow: create a virtual machine from a model and then ask the user about the CPU, memory size...

  Hi guys,.

  I am trying to create a workflow with vCO that can do the job for me:

  -Create a virtual machine (or maybe a several virtual machines) from a model (the model is in vCenter, of course)

  -L' user who is running the workflow has the thr right to say what he wants for the CPU, the memorysize, the disksize

  Any help?

  I found some workflows in the library can seem to do something similar to what I want, but since I'm a beginner I'd rather have your advice

  Hello there and welcome to vCenter Orchestrator

  Take a look at this series of tutorials to get an idea of how start:

  Create a vCO simple self-service VM Provisioning Portal - part 1

  Create a vCO simple self-service VM Provisioning Portal - part 2

  Create a Simple Self Service VM Provisioning Portal vCO - part 3

  The general approach to take would be to determine which of the clone (or clone and customize) workflows adapts to your nearest need (see your customer vCO: workflows\Library\vCenter\Virtual Machine management\Clone\)

  Then, create a NEW WORKFLOW that calls this one... after that your clone operation is complete, keep the computer turned off virtual and add feeds of extra work from the library to your new workflow that do things like change the amount of Ram, adds disks, change CPU, etc...

  Be sure to watch the videos on http://www.vmwarelearning.com/orchestrator to get a basic understanding of the use of vCO.

• Help to get a list of virtual machines with switch network and name

  I'm trying to get a simple list of virtual machines on a single host and include their name and networkname.

  When I run this Get - vm | where {$_.} $host.name - eq "ESX.local"}, I get the virtual machines with their name.  When I run this Get-networkadapter - vm Get - vm | where {$_.} $host.name - eq "ESX.local"} I download news network with the name of the network, which is what im after. "  I want to combine these 2 commands and get vm name and network name in a csv.  The network name is the Group of ports, the VM is affected change settings for example, it could be vlan10 or what you named your group of ports in the switch DV.  I've attached a screenshot of the orders successfully.

  Hello, brisketx-

  You could do a little more efficiently by getting first the VMHost (s) that are of interest, then get their virtual machines and then using a computed property for the names of network for virtual machines.  As:

  Get-VMHost esx.local | Get-VM |    Select-Object Name, @{n="NetworkName"; e={(Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $_ | %{$_.NetworkName}) -join ","}}
  

  You can then, of course, lead to Export-Csv to write the data to a CSV file.  How does do for you?

• Change the host for a virtual machine on a cluster and the host is not in accordance with the attached profile

  Hi all

  I have 02 questions.

  1. we have a cluster which has 02 physical hosts (Host1 and Host2). We have 02 virtual machines on the Cluster. Active DRS on the cluster.

  But the problem is that my 02 VMS are always stays on a Host2. A few weeks ago, each virtual machine carried out on each host. How can I place each virtual machine on each host to perform better.

  How to do this?

  2. I connect to the cluster using vSphere client 5.1, under summer host, I get the following message

  "Configuration problems: host is not in accordance with the attached profile.

  I suspect that this is the case for my question 1?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  I think I found the answer for the problem of home profile. I changed the following values to 1 for each host to > settings > under software > advanced settings >

  Under Data Mover

  HardwareAcceleratedInit

  HardwareAcceleratedMove
  

  
  

  Under VMFS3

  HardwareAcceleratedLocking

  Compliance status is returned to the green.

  Thanks for the advice guys!

• Virtual MACHINE or equipment, Windows and Linux

  I have a site with servers Windows and Linux I have remote access and am trying to catalog.  Is there a way to tell from the console of the server if Windows Server that you are watching is a virtual machine or if it is installed on the hardware?  How about the same question for a Linux server?

  Any help appreciated.

• How can I change the names of directory of virtual machine in VMWare ESXi data storage?

  I've always used host names, but I have changed several times, since the structure is bigger and I now 25 virtual machines. I started renaming to v, s, w - and then their hostname.

  For now, the data store directory is a real mess without the new structure and it bothers me. Is it possible to rename directories? Perhaps using vcenter? I would like to see a beautiful tree as: DWT-win2003, centos5 tpl, tpl-debian6, s-server01, server02-s, w-exchange01, w-mssql01, just as I renamed it to VMS. I tried the migration option, but it only allows for migration between host data warehouses and not to rename the directory that hosts the virtual machine.

  How can I change the my data store directory structure? I have considered changing the paths and edit vmx files to correct the paths, and then add servers to be inventoried. But I don't really know if this can be done without penalty or if there is a better solution.

  the easiest way, continuously needs storage vMotion of the guest.  It renames the folder and the underlying file for the same as the name of object of vCenter. If you don't have much storage vMotion, then turn off the prompt and do a cold migration.

• Virtual machine does not start and...

  Dear vmware forums community,

  I have a problem, I use VMware Workstation 7.0.0 build-203739

  However, I have some problems using it.

  First of all, VMware does not allow me to start one of my Virtual Machines, when I click on 'Open' Options tab still does not open.

  Secondly, I can't install Virtual Machines since yesterday. These two problems came today when I turned on my host PC.

  I tried to do the two things by using VMplayer, it does the same thing as VMware Workstation.

  I also tried to uninstall VMware and install again and also I tried to delete the .lck files and it does not work.

  Yesterday, when it was all working well, I turned off the virtual machines by the following method, ' turn off this machine "or something like that (I clicked on the cross in the name of the machine)

  I would really appreciate if someone could help me.

  In this case - even if you have already uninstalled/installed VMware Workstation - I would recommend that do you it again. This time, clean install and reboot the system before you re-install. How to clean and a script, see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1308
