How cleanly and safely remove or remove a virtual machine or the client in Esxi 4.0

How to safely delete or remove a vritual on ESXi 4.0 Server?

If there are how many documentation or steps please advise.

Basically you shut down the virtual computer, right-click in the inventory and select "remove disc". If your concern for security concerns to reset the disk space used by the virtual machine, you will have to do it manually.

  • How can I remove a virtual machine from the mycomputer tab entry?

    I imported a virtual machine, and then moved the files and it has opened its new location and now I have two similar entries in the tab "MyComputer".  I'm under VMWorkstation 9.  How can I remove the old entry that opens is more because the files are not there more?

    I've found that a right click works indeed to remove the context menu when you are on the part of the library, but when I was in the My Computer tab, right click does not work.  I had my library closed shutter, but once I opened it and tried, I managed to solve the problem.  Thanks for the help.

    Hello!

    I have the following environment:

    Virtual customer (name "MyClient") running on my VM-Wareserver (VMWare Server 2.0.0) hosted on server SLES10, named "Suseserver".

    Now I would like to stop the client from the Suseserver command line. I tried to do with "vmrun" - order, but so far I've failed. Can you give the the appropriate syntax for stop the client gently. VMWare Tools are installed on the client.

    All services run to VMware server?

    Your guest is running?

    Try to use "127.0.0.1" or "localhost" instead of "suseserver".

  • PC DM files: my hard drive is currently filled by PC DM files in my folder/Public user folder. How can I safely remove the right files in this folder?

    My hard drive is currently filled by PC DM files in my folder/Public user folder.  How can I safely remove the right files in this folder?  Vista Home Premium 64 bit is my os.

    Hi templar_39,

    DM (Message Delivery) file types are not Windows files, they can be generated by a third-party program.

    This particular file type is often associated with audio data and can be hosted on some cell phones to be used as ringtones or multimedia clips. To my knowledge, these files can be generated by your mobile phone.

    Note: you can go ahead and remove these files only if you notice that the files do not contain any important information.

    If this happens without connect you all devices (like mobile PHONES), this may be a virus or malware activity. You can run a virus scan to get rid of them

  • How I pre-allocate disk and persist when creating a new virtual machine in 7.1?

    Maybe I'm missing something, but I strive to pre-allocate and persist a hard disk for a windows XP Pro VM. It doesn't seem to be the option most to do so during the installation, even in the custom/Advanced menu. Did I miss something in 7.1? Can someone point me in the right direction?

    When you create the virtual machine, choose to create a virtual custom computer, and one of the pages of the wizard has a checkbox "Allocate all disk space now".  Once the virtual machine is created, you can go to the settings of the virtual machine, select the drive, click on the Advanced button and make a persistent independent drive.

  • How to increase disk for/tmp space in virtual machine?

    People,

    Hello. I use VM Player 3. My host computer is Windows 7 and VM is Oracle Linux 5.10.

    When I copy a virtual machine host machine (1.2 GB) file, the error message appears:

    "Unable to write file in Virtual Machine.Aborting the copy file operation."

    To be able to copy the file into the virtual machine, it takes about 2 GB of disk space free for the folder/tmp.

    I cleaned all the files in the directory/tmp which is now empty. After that, I ran the cammand:

    $df h/tmp

    Its output:

    File system: / dev/map/VolGroup00-LogVol00

    Dimensions: 95G

    Used: 90G

    Available: 48 M

    : Use 100%

    Mounted on: /.

    As you see above, it has only 48 M free disk space, the file size is 1.2 GB to copy.

    My question is:

    How to increase disk space for "available: 48" to the directory/tmp in VM Oracle Linux 5.1 so that can copy the file?

    Thanks in advance.

    The log files are rotated. You have only the *.log files, but the former obsolete log files too. Are named name.log001 name.log002 and so on.

    Check out some of the files you found the log files and remove turned the oldest logs first. Once you have deleted a couple check if cela disk space savings.

    In theory, you can remove all of the log files, but be careful that no server component runs when you do that. Otherwise the logging stops until you stop and restart the component. If you are not sure if something is running, start with swivelled out newspapers.

  • Orchestrator 5.1 REPORT-all the virtual machines in the data center and create a CSV file

    Hello

    What I basically want to do is create a report CSV of all virtual machines in the data center with various information (VMname, domain name FULL, IPaddress, status, data warehouses, tools etc...).  The export list in the client feature is insufficient (especially for any KPI report).

    Problem: (workflow is still under construction so real email send does not not and need to clean the code)

    I am stuck at the part of the creation of a table that can be parsed correctly in the CSV file.  2 ways I've tried will produce a report of single object or combine all of the table into a single string (where I am now).  I think the main problem I have is that I have to create a 2D within my service to push toward the final table that is written to the CSV format.  Basically, I do not understand how to push my variables in a loop of a table.

    Any help or assistance?

    Thank you

    B

    BOOM!

    Added some comments, removed the hardcoded in the csv temp file, deleted path the hardcoded port 25 for SMTP - mail settings should come from the configuration of the MAIL plug-in. And fixed / confirmed that the workflow now includes the attachment for e-mail and ends with success!

  • How to move a virtual machine in the warehouses of data on ESXi 4.1.0

    All,

    I need to move a virtual machine from a data store to another on the same host.  I have two drive bays where each array disk is its data store on.  However, one of them has problems if I want to move two of the virtual machine to a data to another store.

    Is it possible through vsphere and if so, how?

    My host is a:

    Dell PowerEdge 2950

    vSphere Client Version 4.1.0

    VMware ESXi 4.1.0

    Hello

    1. turn off the virtual machine to be moved

    2. right click on the virtual machine, and then select Remove in the inventory (the fleeting VM on the data store)

    3. browse the data store, in the left pane, right-click on the folder of the virtual machine and select move to...

    4 browse the new data store, open the VM folder

    5. save the .vmx file

    6. start the virtual machine in the new location and make sure that it works.

  • I had the opportunity to see all the drives in windows 7 and XP virtual machine on the same screen. He suddenly disappeared, and I need.

    As I set up my computer with Windows 7 Professional and XP virtual machine, I could see all the readers, W7 and the virtual machine on the same screen. I can't do now for some reason any. All I can understand what is is past is that I got a page long list of automatic updates of W7 and some XP updates and as far as I know, the current page of readers has disappeared since then.  I need this feature if I can transfer files between W7 and XP because some of my programs are in one program of windows. I have nothing special when I installed XP to achieve this functionality, so I really don't understand what it controls.  How can I get that back?

    I have solved my problem by trying everything that moves. Here are my steps:
    -Open Virtual PC and minimize it
    -In the Windows 7 machine, click Start click all programs
    -Select Windows Virtual PC
    -Select Windows Virtual PC (in the drop-down list)
    -When the window opens, right-click on Windows XP Mode
    -Select share >
    -Select the homegroup (read/write)

    -Minimized open Virtual PC
    -Select my computer
    Windows 7 disks will be under other

    I hope this works for you also. As I said, it worked like this until I had a huge list of automatic updates of Windows 7 and XP more some updates. Apparently, one of them cut something.
