• How many virtual machines can be run using the bridge at the same time?

  I'm on Win 7 and XP both in Bridge mode. every time the two machines lights I lose the entire network including the host NIC connection. Once I have change the VM to NAT connection I can resume normal activity. Mode bridge on 2 or more VMs is not a supported configuration? Can someone please clarify? I'd appreciate the help.

  Thank you

  The default value for switch ports is often the "Desktop" mode, which limits access to the only 2 (port security) MAC addresses. If you need more the port need to be configured as a port of "access".

  You can create a drag and drop dashboard/report for this information table.

  Details:

  Create dashboard (right Menu)

  VMware, Virtual Center + name of the virtual centre (right Menu - data tab)

  Drag "virtualMachinesCount" on the dashboard

  Select a chart

  Set the time range you want. (Top right of the screen)

  FYI: County of VM is also avialable from a datacenter and cluster level.

• How many virtual machines on a single HBA?

  Hi all

  I understand a VI3 environment for a client, but I doubt if HBA will be a bottle neck for the performance of the virtual machine. I would like to know how much minimum I should recommend? Two enough a primary and another for failover? can you tell us the load balancer for HBA? I read that we can have several number of VMs communicate via a single HBA, however, there will be performance problems? Can anyone share their experiences and their recommendations?

  Thank you

  Rahul

  I've not seen HBA as a bottleneck, especially with the 4 GB HBAs now commonly available.

  I only dual port HBA in our blade servers and servers of U 1, I ran 2 x single port HBA.

  Main SAN issues, I've had have been a doubtful avalanche Transceiver and a motherboard fault on a Server Blade.

  Otehrwise HBAs themselves were enough sound that's why I am not too concerned about the unique dual-port HBA's on the blade.

  A lot of the design is subject to redundancy and how much risk / single points of failure, you are willing to tolerate.

• How many virtual machines a snapshot of the replica would be supported?

• Need a Script out how many virtual machines have snapshot

  Hi people,

  I'm looking for a script to get out how VMs in a VC have snapshot with Cluster information in CSV format. If possible snapshot size too

  Thank you

  vmguy

  Try something like this

  $report = foreach($vm in Get-VM){
      Get-Snapshot -VM $vm |
      Select @{N="Cluster";E={(Get-Cluster -VM $vm).Name}},
              @{N="VM";E={$vm.Name}},

• Create a great metric for virtual machines that shows how many virtual machines on the host parent

  One of the properties of a virtual computer's Parent host.  I would like to pass this info on to a metric Super VM and use to gather the number of VMS are on the associated VM host Parent.   This SM would be so associated with my VMs.

  Is this possible?

  -MattG

  I found this:

  AVG (${adaptertype = VMWARE, objecttype = HostSystem, attribute is summary | total_number_vms, depth =-1})

  Because I had to use a host object type I don't think he would show as a metric of Super in the scope of the VM... it does!

• Find out how many virtual machines you create a month

  I've been messing around with this script which was published on the vSphere PowerCLI blog but I can't do what I want it. I try to get the output to an html Web page results. Here is the code of the blog:

  Function Get-VMCreationReport {}

  Get - VM | {Group

  If ($_.) CustomFields-as -not $null) {}

  "{0:Y}" -f $_. CustomFields

  } else {}

  'Unknown'}}

  }

  I modified it as follows:

  #I have location set because I'm only pulling the VM to a specific host in a folder.

  $VMs = @(get-VM-emplacement "TEST")

  "$html = @".

  
  
  "@
  
  $html = ""test ' "

  $VMs | {Group

  if($_.) CustomFields-as -no $null)

  {$html = « {0:Y} » -f $_. CustomFields}

  else {}

  $html = 'Unknown'}

  }

  $html = "< / HTML >".

  $html > Test_run.html

  The problem is that the output is not posting on the html page. I can see when debug that code runs through the if loop to the right. Any ideas?

  SELECT is in fact an alias for Select-Object.

  Allways try (in this case to select)

  Get-Alias Select
  

  When you run a cmdlet you do not recognize.

  The dismantled line:

  -) put all the contents of $result in the pipeline

  -) of each object, select the following

  (-) the Name property. After a group object, the Name property contains the grouping field, in this case the date

  (-) A hash literal to calculate the following property. In this case, the number of elements in the array of the group, which is the number of guests

  (-) all resulting objects to the Select-Object are placed in the pipeline and converted by the ConvertTo-Html cmdlet to HTML

  -) add the result (the ConvertTo-Html cmdlet output) the existing contents of the variable $html

• I want to know how many VM, we can assign the blade according to my requirment

  Hi all

  Can it please gothrough with the configuration below and let me know how much VM, we create each blade as shown in cofiguration.

  India
  ------
  6 blades with (4 6-Cores CPU), 256 GB of RAM = 24 cpu = 144 carrots
  4 servers blades with (2 CPU 6 hearts), 128 GB of RAM = 8 cpu = 48 cores
  US1
  ---------
  2 servers blades with (4 6-Cores CPU), 256 GB of RAM = 8 cpu = 48 cores
  2 servers blades with (2 CPU 6 hearts), 128 GB of RAM = 4 cpu = 24 hearts
  US2
  -----
  2 servers in a rack with (2 CPU 6 cores), 32 GB of RAM = 4 CPU = 24 hearts
  I apriciate if you spend some time with my request.
  Kind regards
  DJ

  Hi Dj, with 1 logical processor you can host up to 20 virtual machines with single processor with vsphere 4.1... What is a virtual cpu 'it's a HEC (material execution context) .. 1 physical blade, you have 24 hearts... 24 * 20 = 480 VMS but logically only 320 vms online can be hosted on an ESX Server and 512 machines offline.

  There a logical scenario, but may not be practical... first try to install virtual machines with simple CPU and gradually increase the load on the server by adding more virtual machines... As the time you will come to know how many virtual machines can be supported by a single blade according to your envoirnment

  You might be planning to have high IO intensive machines like file/Exchange/SQL server... In this scenario, concept of maximum rates would fail... You have possibility to during the validation and memory, for VMS (balooning), but we must avoid above engagement in production envoirnment. As there is no hard and fast rules for virtual machines, but I hope that above explanation might help you to satisfy your request.

• How many virtual servers by host machine?

  Hello

  Another question, is there a method to determine how many virtual machines that I can host on one computer? Many people seem to ask this question, but I'm yet to find one another answer that wave "between 10 and 20 virtual machines" or "up to 50 vms' if I know what are my physical features and I know what operating systems and applications I don't want run on virtual servers, is there a way to calculate whether my hardware will be able to host virtual machines?

  I've met before, if I understood your question. Here:

• How to force use of the VM a specific host in a cluster?

  I use vSphere vSphere Web Client 5.5 thru 5.0U2.

  When I create a virtual machine, I specify a host in a cluster as computing resources.  However, when I turn on the virtual machine, it uses another host.   How can I configure the virtual machine to use only a specific host in the cluster?

  Use the DRS-> Virtual Machine Options to disable the level of automation for the virtual machine. Who will be actually anchor her to this host. You could also put the VM on local storage or attach too to a resource (DVD-ROM) on this host, but the road of the DRS is the best way to go.

• Basic QS:-a virtual machine can share the memory of the 2 hosts?

  Hello

  I am very new to VMWare ESX, but looking at the docs, it seems that there is a possibility to create pools of resources by consolidating physical ESX Server hardware.

  However, it is not clear if a SINGLE virtual machine can run on multiple physical hosts?

  I have 2 physical servers:-each with 4 GB of RAM in a single pool of resources.

  Can I then run a virtual machine and assign it 8 GB? (and actually use up to 7 GB?)

  I'm güssing it is not possible to do...

  No, a guest can run on two physical hosts at the same time. It cannot use the resources provided by an ESX host.

  Resource with Betclic let you group all the resources of all ESX servers with this pool.

  Let's say you have two ESX servers with 3.6 GHz each. So your pool has 7.2 GHz available for its guests in this pool. However, this isn't a contignous resource, it is cut in two on two ESX hosts.

  Also, if you can, do not use resource pools. He must know exactly what you're doing, and it is a good source to make worse things running.

  The best resource on hand programmer is ESX itself. If you have a license to DRS use. According to our experience, it is very good by spreading the load on your ESX farm. If you want to set restrictions to the guests I would level comments.

• How do I know if a virtual machine is a linked clone?

  Hello world

  I've been using VMware Workstation for awhile, and I was always wandering...

  Is there an easy way to know if a virtual machine is a clone related somehow? I couldn't find any option for this...

  Also, is there somewhere a tools that help in the management of virtual machines? As sizes VM display, sizes of disc, the button to open the folder of the VM on the host, etc.. ?

  Thanks for your help

  Emphyrio

  Is there an easy way to know if a virtual machine is a clone related somehow?

  For a related clone, you'll find a "CloneOf" line with the parent/master information in the GUI (the Virtual Machine details), and you can also see this entry in the file .vmsd of the virtual machine.

  As sizes VM display, sizes of disc, the button to open the folder of the VM on the host, etc.. ?

  for example Windows Exlorer

• 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.
