How do I rename VMDK

When deploying a new server from a template, the name has been set on the name of the server of your choice, but with a - test at the end.

Unfortunately the vmdk file and the file still has the - test after him.

What are the steps to rename it to a proper name?

The best way to rename files from a virtual computer (including virtual disks) is a Storage vMotion in another data store, see: VMware KB: rename a virtual machine and VMware ESXi and ESX records

  • How can I rename or remove Tags in FireFox

    How to change (rename) or remove unused tags in ForeFox. So that's my main question.

    A related issue is that is it an add-on that will allow me a classify and categorize under (as a group, sub-group and so on) tags.

    Sorry about that...

    Well, the tags that are no longer used are removed from Firefox. You can not edit the tags by themselves, but rather to change the bookmarks with these tags. As the article says.

    Regarding the add-on, I really have no idea, but in case you don't know where to look, here's where: https://addons.mozilla.org/

  • How do I rename the user_000 folder in Windows 8

    Hi all

    Today, I got a new laptop with windows 8.
    I had signed up for a Microsoft account earlier, so I typed that in when setting up my laptop for the first time.

    Unfortunately, the default seems to be that the user folder is created in this format:

    C:\Users\User _000 where 'user' is my first name, lowercase. I wish I had the format of C:\Users\Account. where 'Account' would be my full name with a space between the two and capitalized letters.
    Anyone know a simple way to change this?

    If you can't pass on your account offline I can do when I slide to the left and then click users.

    The reason for which you need an online account is due to access to the Windows store I'm curious to know why you want to change the profile for you were not able to access your Vaio applications or is it out of curiosity.
    No doubt a reason, it was size 000 to differentiate themselves from your local account you mind, I'm just speculating.
    I believe you can change your username under settings and also you can have an account offline.
    If you explain why perhaps someone with more knowledge of the question can help you!

  • How to find where VMDK and ISO mounted

    I have trouble with my virtual environment,

    1. when I need remove ISO file, it says that currently used. How to find where the ISO is mounted?

    (manual search with see providing the edict for small environment is OK, but with vm 468 comments it is very complicated )

    2. I need to clean my data store, I found a file with file 3 vmdk, how to find this vmdk mounted?

    Thank you for your attention and support,

    Kind regards

    I would like to give a RVTools: RVTools - home

    1. you should be able to use the vCD tab to find the ISO image in the device column (you can export to Excel and make a 'discovery' on the name of the file to facilitate this)

    2. you can use the tab vDisk and search again on the path column.

    is 2 - there a solution to edit pages with Iframes?

    Thanks a lot for your help

    To manage files and search the files to change/remove outside the range of navigation and links from your Web site, check out the 'Choose' button on the right side of the address bar. In this way, you can also find loaded files in your I-frames.

    To delete files, you must have the proper rights (Edit, administer Web sites) to be allowed to delete files. The process of deleting is:
    1. open the file ('Choose' button)

  • svMotion is not rename VMDK disk to the new VM?

    People,

    With 5.1 vSphere update 1

    I've renamed just a newly deployed VM of vSphere Console say oldVMName to the newVMName.

    my understanding is that, after running Storage vMotion, all the components of the virtual machine will be renamed in the newVMname, but somehow, just rename the VMFS directory only?

    svMotion front: oldVMName/oldVMName.vmdk [VMFS_vol_15]

    After svMotion: newVMName/oldVMName.vmdk [VMFS_vol_15]


    How to rename the VMDK match server display name without causing downtime?

    That's what I want to achieve:

    NewVMName/newVMName.vmdk [VMFS_vol_15]

    Yes, you will need a different Storage VMotion to rename the files.

  • Rename VMDK by PowerCLI - new

    Then... I was checking PowerCLI 5.0 these days and cmdlet Set-hard drive has not yet obtained one - Name parameter. How can we change the name of a file with PowerCLI VMDK again regularly? I need this because this is one of the steps required in the persistent migration / data user disks of VMware View 4.0 to 4.5 / 4.6.

    As I can see, there are new support ESXCLI. Can be used to rename a hard and how? It only works on 5.0 ESX hosts?


    Kind regards

    You are correct in your interpretation of the vSphere doc 5, this method cannot be used to rename a file in place hard.

  • How files request for vmdk with location of store data using perl sdk

    Hello

    I need to retrieve a list of (xxx - flat hard) and vmdk files for a virtual machine on an ESX Server.

    The virtual machine I have has two disks that are in different data stores.

    I changed the /usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps/vm/myvminfo.pl to dump the full data.

    I spilled the $vm_view and found that the data you are looking for do not print.

    I'm new to VMWare and don't know how to go forward.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    You should be able to use just LayoutEx property of the VirtualMachine.  Keep in mind this property gets refreshed on a schedule, so don't always present not unless you explicitly referesh it yourself.  However, that can add some overhead VI retesting the data store (s).

    The attached script is quite simple, but it can help you get started.  To % disk_parts hash key is the key of the device, you can use this to get configuration-> hardware-> device information.  The string under layoutEx-> disc keys should be descriptor-> measure.  You can query the type of the object file if you need to be sure or want to only print as well.

    You can exit the script in certain functions or map() calls to make it more readable.  You need to work through the key tables nested loop, so it would probably be good to format into something easier to follow.  Another option would be to create a hash of the file of the key values card, so you can do research without expensive loops.

    Samples:

    $ perl ListVmdkForVm.pl - username = administrator - password = VMware1! -Server = 172.16.254.10--vmname=Test\(Renamed\)
    2000: Test [VLAB-ESX-01_LOCAL] (renamed) _1/Test (renamed) hard, [VLAB-ESX-01_LOCAL] Test (renamed) _1/Test (renamed) - flat hard
  • RENAME vmdk files

    Very well. Just a job cosmetic but good to keep it clean and uniform.

    A virtual server called "newcurtis" when he was born. So, there are files such as:

    newcurtis.VMDK - virtual disk

    newcurtis_1.VMDK - LUN mapped Raw

    newcurtis_2.VMDK - LUN mapped Raw

    newcurtis_3.VMDK - LUN mapped Raw

    Then, this "newcurtis" has been renamed "Curtis" in VI Client.

    and a "Raw LUN mapped" has been added but appeared as:

    Curtis.VMDK

    Then, this "Curtis" has been renamed "curtis" in VI Client.

    and a more 'mapped Raw LUN' have been added but appeared as:

    Curtis.VMDK

    So I see "curtis.vmdk" and "Curtis.vmdk" are married. (see attachment)

    Question:

    How to rename the "newcurtis_4.vmdk" and "newcurtis_5.vmdk" to ensure consistency without affecting any level of performance OS?

    Operating system is Windows 2003 file server. and another question: how to rename them all to "newcurtis" to "curtis"?

    Thank you very much

  • How can I rename multiple versions of the same song at the same time in iTunes?

    I know how to change the other columns for several numbers at once using Get Info - but is it possible to change the column name to several items at once? that is several versions of Adeste faithful in my Christmas iTunes library that are not always spelled and I want to standardize the spelling. If you use Get Info for several pieces at the same time, the column name is not one of the listed areas.  Thank you!

    Unfortunately, the ability to update the value of name for two or more items in iTunes has been removed there are several versions (ISTR that it disappeared between 12.1 and 12.2).  I report it via the Apple iTunes comments page, but I suspect that it is considered a feature - which prevents users to rename accidentally several tracks - rather than a bug preventing legitimate usage.
