  Hello

  Can you get it someone please let me know how to move the templates of virtual machine from one host to another host in the cluster even?

  Thank you

  Welcome to the forums!

  Convert it to a virtual machine (right click on guest and choose the appropriateoption), move it through the migration feature (right-click Guest, and then choose "Migrate") and convert into a model (right click on guest again and choose to convert to a template).

• How to import the list of virtual machines to complete a table in a workflow

  When you run the followingworkflow/library/vCenter/batch/run a workflow on a selection of objects

  How import you a list of virtual machines to complete the table of virtual machines?

  At this moment we are manually by selecting the virtual machines and adding them to the table individually which is very tedious. We would simply import a list.

  There is a certain ways that you can do what you're trying to do, but from your description, it looks like a wrapper will work best.  I enclose a simple workflow that loads the table from a csv file.  There is no error checking going on, but it should help you get started and you can expand on it from there.

• How can I mutual folder "discovered virtual machines.

  I use c# api.

  When I get all records in a data center, I get the host, the vm and the discovery of the virtual machines folder.

  When you request the property of hostFolder - you download the file from the host. It goes the same for vmFolder.

  How to identify the folder "discovered virtual machines? What size should I look to find this file specifically?

  I don't want to find all the files and compare names, because files can be renamed.

  Help, please.

  Thank you.

  idanmnr

  Iamw is right.  The vmFolder will contain the "discovered virtual machines" folder, you would just do a search from there.

  What becomes tricky is that it is possible that someone is offering this particular folder in another folder, so probably have to walk down the tree of vmFolder until you find the open folder VM.  If for a simple case, you can assume it will be one of the childEntity of vmFolder objects.

  In addition, this file can be renamed as well.  I don't think that this is a special folder in inventory of VI, comes out just for a default folder that is created for use.  But maybe someone else can provide more details on that.

• How to know from a virtual machine is power off?

  Hi all

  I want to know if it is possible to find it on the database or somewhere else a parameter allowing to know since when a Virtual Machine is power off.

  In fact, I want to analyze what Virtual Machine are not used and since when...

  My level = vSphere4.1

  TKS

  It's strange, that I always find VmPoweredOffEvent entries, even when the user has launched a stop from in the guest OS.

  You can easily test.

  • Make a stop of in a guest
  • When the virtual machine is turned off, do

  Get-VIEvent -Start (Get-Date).AddMinutes(-30) -Entity MyVM | Select CreatedTime,@{N="Event";E={$_.GetType().Name}}

• How can I create a simple virtual machine with the CD in a newWorkflow

  I created a new workflow with simple virtual machine and added a cdrom workflow but an error is shown.

  How can I reuse of so that the new created VM add a new cdrom in a workflow

  

  Help me please

  First of all, you only need a single attribute of type VC:VirtualMachine, not two as in the screenshot. You don't need to specify its value; When the first workflow completes, its output should be attributed to this attribute, and then the assigned value must be passed as input to the second workflow.

  To check/edit links, open the first workflow to change, go to the 'Visual links' tab and make sure the workflow output is line connected to the attribute. Do the same for the second workflow, and then make sure that the attribute is connected to the line to the corresponding input parameter.

  Take a look at the workflow attached if you don't know how the maps should look like.

• How much space does need a virtual machine?

  Assuming that I have 100 VM Windows of 40 GB each on my data store, would I need 3.9 TB on my store data to account for all these virtual machines?

  I guess not, but how do I know real space?

  It is an appropriate approach.the 320 is the memory usage for all machines that I guess the 320's for all machines you will be virtualized.

  350 GB should be fine however with Exchange and SQL and their abiilty to spike, I would consider not to cut then station-may be looking at 512 GB -.

• How to create disk shared across virtual machines on different hosts

  Hello

  We implement Oracle RAC on two virtual machines, one on each of the two armies for redundancy. For our installation:

  • The two ESXi hosts two SAN access a logical unit number.
  • Two virtual machines on the hosts must have access to a single virtual disk on this LUN (or unit number logic itself) at the same time.

  We tried the following:

  • Creation of a data store associated with the LUN, and then creating a new hard drive on each virtual machine using the same virtual disk on the data store. This operation failed because as soon as a virtual computer runs, the other virtual computer cannot run since the first has a lock on the file from the disk.
  • Creation of a new hard drive on the virtual machine through RDM. This operation failed because only the first virtual machine has this option of disc. Once the ROW has been assigned to the LUN, the other virtual computer cannot create its own RDM for the LUN.

  I'm learning just VMware so I can miss a fundamental method to accomplish this, or perhaps, it is not possible at all. You know a way to create the installer I described?

  Welcome to the community,

  I can not specifically help with the Oracle RAC, however, I would recommend that you take a look at MSCS documentation for how to configure shared disks. There is a difference in the way in which you have installed the VM, for example all VMs on an ESXi host or on different hosts. Please keep in mind that MSCS is a cluster without sharing, which means that only one node at a time has access to a shared virtual disc/RDM.

• How to change the size of virtual machine from a template installation disc.

  Dear team

  How to change the size of the disk when installing VM from a template? I'm on ESX 4.0 Vcenter 4.0

  Concerning

  Shamal

  I don't know if this is possible, you may need to deploy the machine first, then use the VMware Converter or vDisk settings in the properties of the virtual machine.

  The converter is in charge on the partition, as well as (for Windows clients).

• How is it important to enhance virtual machine hardware level if you don't need the extra features the latest offers?

  Are there benefits or reason to pass the levels of virtual machine hardware if you don't need new features later versions give you?

  We are getting ready for VSphere 6 and begin to migrate some of our guests.  Most of our virtual machines are at levels 7, 8 or 9.

  From what I've seen, the features of material level 10 and 11 are not everything what we need on most of our virtual machines.  I'm happy to walk if later versions of material are better, more stable, etc and we should upgrade the hardware even if we don't need the extensive features.

  Mike O'Donnell

  Hi Mike,.

  VMware sees as a best practice to run on the latest version of material (see the section of the Virtual Machines on this page: KB VMware: vSphere 5.x upgrade to vSphere recommended 6.0) and if you encounter a problem with a virtual machine, support may ask you to update the version. In practice it might give you more stability or some performance enhancements.

  I was like you although I don't necessarily keep my VMs up-to-date at the hardware level. I make sure they are relatively recent but.

  You want to make sure that all cluster hosts are compatible on all hosts. the last thing you want is to have a failure and knowing that the client cannot run on a different host due to incompatibility.

• How to copy or move a virtual machine to one vCenter to another?

  In the near future, we will have a HA cluster in a foreign vCenter, connected to a dedicated line. As far as I know, we are able to integrate the HA cluster in our vCenter, but are not able to copy or move a VM in our vCenter to another because there is no direct connection between the storage.

  What will be the simplest possibility to copy or move a virtual machine to the other vCenter?

  Thanks in advance!

• How do you exit name of Virtual Machine of ' Get - VM | Get-AdvancedSetting' command?

  Hello, I have a question which is hopefully enough simple to answer.

  I'm having this problem explained in KB 2078352 and you want a list of VMs affected before hotfixing them, to see if it helped with our problem or not.

  
  Sample line:

  Get - vm | Get-AdvancedSetting - name tools.deployPkg.fileName

  Name value Type Description

  ----                 -----                ----                 -----------

  tools.deployPkg.f... imc1D01.tmp VM

  tools.deployPkg.f... imc937E.tmp VM

  tools.deployPkg.f... imc32EE.tmp VM

  tools.deployPkg.f... imc6030.tmp VM

  This shows only the value of the file names, but not the names of virtual machine. So I was just wondering how I can get an output of name of virtual machine with this information?

  Thanks in advance.

  Try adding a Format-Table may

  Get - VM | Get-AdvancedSetting |
  Select @{N = "VM"; E={$_. @entity.name}}, Name, Value | Format-Table - AutoSize

• How to extend vmdk for several virtual machines?

  Hello!

  I have a 300 + vm on vsphere5.1 and I need to extend the system drive on each of them. Have ideas of how do with powercli? Thank you.

  You can try something like that.

  It will increase the size of 20% vmdk. Note that the virtual computer must be turned off for this.

  Get-VM | Where {$_.PowerState -eq "PoweredOff"} |Get-HardDisk -Name "Hard disk 1" |Set-HardDisk -CapacityGB ([int]($_.CapacityGB * 0.2)) -Confirm:$false -HelperVM $vm
  

  You can find another example in need a script powercli to increase Harddisk1 of virtual machines in a 20 GB file, can anyone give a script.
