  How to add a data center on the virtual center via VI client server?

  I formatted ESX server & ESX Server Update installed keeping the data center on the storage (of many desktop computers)

  Now I have fresh installed a new server of virtual & added the ESX Server, but I'm unable to reattach existing data centers on storage.

  What will be the way to import of existing data on server Center virtual center?

  Help, please...

  Is ' VMware-VMimporter - 2.0.0 - 30557 "is the software through which I can solve my problem?

  You need to browse each data store, go to the folder of the virtual machine, right-click on the *.vmx file and add it to your inventory.

• How to read the data written to the virtual disk

  I use the following VDDK function to read the Flash disk from VMware

  http://bigchainring.kicks-ass.NET/functions/VixDiskLib_Read.html

  But areas of complete disc playback, including empty spaces. I need to back up only the data written to the Flash disk. It is to save the backup disk space (for example if 126 instant KB is written in 40 GB of disk snapshot, then we read only 126 KB and not 40 GB drive). Please suggest the correct way to read the data written to the Flash disk as well as to reproduce the same virtual disk with the data.

  VMware vSphere API queryChangedDiskAreas() can be used to obtain the data blocks in the virtual disk.

  Steps to follow:

  1. get the beaches of block of data (numbers) using queryChangedDiskAreas() API with '*' as argument.

  2 read the data of the specific blocks by using VixDiskLib_Read()

  3. write to another drive using VixDiskLib_Write()

• How to record a custom message / event in the virtual center of the virtual machine

  Is it possible to record a personalized message in the virtual center of the VM?

  I use a vCLI script to reset a virtual machine. I want to report where (PC) this script is launched.

  And it would be great if it is possible to report to the event list or task of the virtual machine that will be reset.

  You can relate from where and which this script is initiated by the following script

  #!/usr/bin/perl -w
  # CustomEvent.pl
  
  #
  use strict;
  use warnings;
  use VMware::VILib;
  use VMware::VIRuntime;
  
  my %opts = (
     vmname => {
        type => "=s",
        help => "Name the virtual machine associated with the event",
        required => 1,
     },
  );
  
  Opts::add_options(%opts);
  
  Opts::parse();
  Opts::validate();
  Util::connect();
  
  my $vmname  = Opts::get_option('vmname');
  my $username, my $compname;
  ($username = `echo %USERNAME%`) =~ /(\S+)/; $username = $1;
  ($compname = `echo %COMPUTERNAME%`) =~ /(\S+)/; $compname = $1;

  my $EventManager_view = Vim::get_view(mo_ref => $EventManager);
  my $vm_ref = Vim::find_entity_view(view_type => 'VirtualMachine', filter => {'name' => $vmname});
  eval {
      $EventManager_view->LogUserEvent(entity => $vm_ref, msg => "CE_RESTARTVM : VM $vmname restarted by $username from $compname.");
      Util::trace(0, "\n CUSTOMEVENT \'VM $vmname restarted by $username from $compname.\' post Successfully.\n");

• Adding a vmx in a data store on VMWare Server 2 to VIX C API

  Is what is said in the possible title?

  Alternatively it is possible to add a store of data via the C API of VIX?

  No, you must first move the virtual machine to a directory in the data store before you can save it. VIX does not provide a way to move a virtual machine, but it shouldn't be too hard to move a directory in the operating system of your choice.

• store the object reference handle (MOR) to synchronize with the virtual center of vSphere

  Hello

  I am able to store a bit in my own DB and assume that they don't change, so that I can match the entities in the virtual centre with those of my database loading my application?

  Document best practices of Balaji Parimi (http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9912) States:

  Caching of managed object references rather than their
  Properties makes it easy to keep the cache to update. It is easier to maintain
  the cache, as the references remain unchanged until the managed object is removed from the inventory of managed object.

  Because of this comment, I am inclined to believe that I should be able to write the bit on my side in the DB and use them as described.

  Why I ask this is because:

  • It seems that a lot of people is keen to track VMs by uuid.  I'm guessing they are only followed VMs, otherwise they would probably have the same problem I'm having (ex: If a Resource Pool gets renamed while the application is down, how can you identify whether the same as the one you had).

  • The vSphere Web Services SDK Programming Guide seems to be confusing by having a section entitled Do not store Managed Object reference values.  This section seems just to point out that the MOR is not the same between the vCenter server and ESX box.  Because I don't like to manage the host communicating directly with it (and keep track of the GPR in this way), I don't see how this would apply.

  Has anyone been matching their own entities vmware with JAWS?  Is there a reason for (am I wrong something)?  Wouldn't be wonderful if this confusion has been cleared up by Balaji Parimi or VMware themselves.

  Thank you

  Ivan

  The recommendation contained in the best practices doc is right.

  You can store the MOR of an entity in your DB.

  For such objects as hosts, VMs data warehouses, etc... Essentially, this is the unique key that identifies the object.

  And the MOR will change during the lifetime of this object in the DB vCenter.

  The only way it modifies if it removes and adds the object. So for all practical purposes it is a new object anyway.

  What the program guide refers, is the fact that this MOR the 'ID' of the object is only within this system namespace.

  Thus, the VM MOR is unique within the Victoria Cross.

  That MOR are only may not or may not even be object even if you connect directly to the ESX host using the SDK.

  The guide is just trying to clarify that the MOR of a VMS in vCenter isn't the same as if you connect to the ESX host directly.

  That said, if you never connect to the ESX host directly you must not care about this specific recommendation in the guide.

  Hope that clarifies things.

• How can I stop saved pages downloaded to visit the virtual folder

  I updated from XP to Windows 7. When I try to save a pdf file in my folder of pdf files seem to go in my pdf file, but they find themselves in a virtual folder. I had no problem with XP or Vista. Is there a way I can stop the file in the virtual folder.

  I have no idea of what a virtual folder is,

  Take screenshots,
  Usually, you can press the SHIFT key (maybe the Alt key) or (FN key on your laptop) and press prtscrn.
  Open microsoft Paint, and then click Paste on the top left.
  Painting is located in the Accessories folder in all programs from the Start button.
  Then click on the blue button on the file and click Save as, click jpeg file type and name the file.
  Upload to skydrive or photobucket in a public album and post a direct link to the file here.

• How to store data points in the table

  I'm new to labview and I am trying to store the output of the frequency of 'measures pulsed VI' in a table, add everything together and divide by the length of the array. I don't want a table of numbers to be shown on the indicator. Just average 25 numbers.

  Basically, I want to do, but in labview.

  arrayIndex = 0;

  for (int i = 0; i)<=25;>

  {

  NewData = somedata;

  MyArray [arrayIndex] = newdata;

  dataAvg = dataAvg + myArray [arrayIndex];

  arrayIndex ++;

  }

  dataAvg = dataAvg / 25;

  I have attached my attempt, but its probably a very poor attempt. (The N on my first loop for was 25 when I tried to run the VI)

  Thanks in advance

  You need n number of bed DAQmx to take the average of the number n of steps of the pulse. Silly to take 500 what whatsoever when you have a single DAQmx reading which returns a single measure. As I said, you can use a registry to offset or point-by-point inside the loop. Or, run a number n of the acquisition of times with a loop and moves the pulse measurement in the table for automatic indexing and calculate an average, when all acquisitions are made.

• How to import from an Oracle data source using the Administration tool?

  Trying to create a repository using the tool of Administration and elected to import using the "SPOUT 10 g / 11 g.
  However, after you have entered the name of Data Source, the user name and password, I still get error "the connection failed".
  
  According to the help, the data source name must be the full connection string. I guess that means in the format < host >: < port >: < service >. Also, I guess the username and password are the DB schema.
  
  Any ideas why I can't connect?

  Yes

  Try to ping your tnsnames command prompt

• Migration of virtual machines store data Local to the Local data store

  I spend a few VMs storage local servers ESX 3.5 to local storage on another. The customer, I work with a Vcenter but doesn't have a Vmotion.

  What would be the best way to carry out the removal.

  Cold migration?

  Import to the new ESX Server via converter?

  I tried to do an import with the virtual machine is turned off and after 30 minutes, the progress is only 5%. This server only took 25 minutes for P2V, cold import of VM VI3 to VI3 VM takes longer to P2V? It is a LAN Gigabit environment all.

  When I tried to make the trip through the migrate, progress suspended at 25% and never finished.

  Migration cold will work fine.  Stop the click Guest, just choose migrate.

• How to access files in a folder to store data for a virtual machine?

  Hi all

  I'm relatively new to virtualization in general (I'm learning!) and have a question.  I have a host server of VMware ESXi 5.0 set in place with several VMs configured in it.  I also have various data stores configured, usually a virtual computer by the data store.  Most of the virtual machines are Windows, but one I have problems with is a machine virtual 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.  I currently manage and administer the server remotely over a slow connection.  Anticipate, the last time I was on the same network as the host server, I downloaded to a folder on the same database as the VM RHEL, about 5 GB of files that I knew that I would need to access in the VM RHEL install different software.  Now, I'm trying to "expose" these files very to the RHEL VM so I can install the software.  How would I do that?

  From what I've gathered reading other posts here, I could create an ISO that contains the files and then upload that to the server on the host to be mounted into the CD player, but my connection is so slow that would take a very long time.  I also believe that I could create a network share on my Windows 7 computer and allow the virtual machine to access the files in this way - but once again, my connection is the problem (not to mention that I do not have a GUI installed on RHEL and I'm not a Linux expert).

  None of the files I need are ISOs, unfortunately, so I can not directly mount the CD-ROM drive in the virtual computer from the data store.  If I have access to a shell on the host server, it does not recognize the command vmware-mount so I can't access the virtual disk for RHEL to just copy the files into it.  Also, it does not recognize the mkisofs command (of which i google trying to figure out if I could create the ISO on the host itself).

  So, basically, I'm looking for a way to access files in a virtual machine that are in the same bank data, as its virtual disk.  If that is possible to copy these files in virtual drive somehow, or mount a CD-ROM drive or hard drive that exposes these files on the virtual computer, I don't have a preference...  I'm just trying to not have to re - download the files in a different format (or using a different method) since they are already on the host server.

  Any suggestions would be very appreciated that - thank you.

  Welcome to the community,

  one solution might be to enable SSH on the host computer and then use scp to access or download files from the host/datastore (within the Linux VM).

• List of the files in the data store for the virtual machine

  Hello

  How to list the files of data store for the virtual machine? I can't find reference to the command.

  Thank you

  If you have installed vCLI and vSphere SDK for Perl, you have extra utilities on top of what is there with the vCLI, take a look at this list: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/viperl40/doc/vsperl_util_index.html

• List not updated virtual machines after the migration of the virtual machine to a different data store

  My vSphere infrastructure 5 uses several data stores.

  Two data warehouses are associated with NFS on different NAS shares.

  I migrate VM to a data to another store.

  The navigation data store, I see that the files are moved from the old data store to the new and that no file belonging to the migrated VM still does exist on the old data store.

  If I look at the list of VMs on the old data store, I still see the old VM.

  I see it in the list of the virtual machine on the new data store as well.

  I checked that no .iso no pagefile is in the old data store.

  How can I update the list of the virtual machine on the old data store?

  Above all, how can I safely delete the old data store by ensuring that the virtual machine works very well on the new data store and I don't lose anything?

  Concerning

  Marius

  This use of data store 'Phantom' is usually observed, if the current configuration of the virtual computer points to the 'old' data store (diskette, CD-ROM) or the virtual machine contains snapshots where - at the time where tone have been created - the VM has had these references. Once the snapshots are deleted from data store 'ghost' will go away from summary of the virtual machine.

• IP address on the virtual machine windows endangered endangered after the importation of the data store.

  I'm gaving a problem with the IP on windows vm disappear after having mounted the snapshot to restore. Here's what I do.

  Mount making LUNS to the esx host area

  I have eyebrows outside the data store to find the vm I want to right click and click Import the vmx file.

  Imports of the virtual machine and when I start it up I wonder if I've moved or copied the VM. I have tried both moved and copy but when I connect to the virtual machine is missing all its IP info.

  Any way to avoid the losting vm sound IP info when I import to the host from a LUN outlet?

  Hello

  Installs on the forum of the Virtual Machine and the guest operating system.

  The MAC of a virtual computer is based on the UUID/name of the virtual machine so if you are not using a static MAC (one that recognizes VMware) and it will change the IP address might also change if you are using DHCP. So I suggest to use a static MAC in the VM configuration.

  Another way is to set up the guest operating system in the virtual machine with a static IP address instead of a DHCP function.

  But if you are unable to remove the virtual machine or the copy in the virtual machine, there may be something locking these files would be an another running virtual machine. If you need to find this VM and kill him. In this case, "vmware-cmd - L" and 'vmware-cmd - l' host in question can be useful to find where the 'hidden' VM is running.  Ultimately you can use ' vm-support - x "to find a list of the virtual machines running by how the hypervisor lists. Then use 'vm-support - Z' to suspend the offending virtual machine that should unlock everything.

  Yes, the use of these commands is command line.

  However, before using these commands determine if you can find the place where life VM incriminated.
