• The Clean Up Virtual Machine - Fusion 7.1.1 progress window size

  Having a place in Fusion upgrade 7.0.1 for 7.1.1 in the VMware Tools update and Mountain Lion, size parameters > general window that opens click the button Clean Up recommended at the bottom of the VM library extends horizontally at the edge of the screen of the monitor (27 '' LED Cinema Display (, Mac Pro 5.1) or beyond, so there to drag to the left to reach the Clean Up Virtual Machine button. This happens on all Windows virtual computer I tried on. I use merge for quite awhile (version 2 and later) and have never seen that happen before. Fortunately, it is on a backup test drive so my boot partition, always running 7.0.1 is unchanged.

  Any ideas on how to fix this would be appreciated.

• How to install vmware tools in a virtual machine running in the drive on an Ubuntu host?

  I have a host of Ubuntu (Ubuntu LTS 14.04.2)

  I have a virtual of Fedora (4.0.4 - 301.fc22.x86_64) and I would like to install vmware tools in the virtual machine.

  When I select the player VirtualMachine-> reinstall VMware Tools...

  I get a prompt in a box on the screen.  It is said:

  The following software are available for download:

  VMware Tools for Linux version 9.9.3

  What do you do?

  X Cancel |  Download and install

  Of course I choose to download and install (kind of silly question - why I want to cancel?)

  So instead of download the tools I want to install, it says:

  Your permission is required to install an update to VMware.

  Please enter the root password to move forward.

  Password: __________

  not serious.  Now, he's looking for what root password?  The virtual machine or the host?

  I have try the virtual machine and it works-not "incorrect password... try again."

  ... well Ubuntu is not a root user.  So, I try the password for the user with root privileges

  "incorrect password... try again."

  Then, he does not.

  Not very satisfying.

  The instructions that I found in my research right you will say to take the step to obtain the Tools package then (well, nothing of the rest of it is important if the tools are not available to me).

  Suggestions?  Advice?

  The required password is for the host.

  A workaround of functions is "sudo su -" of ubuntu host, then start vmplayer from the root prompt.  You must browse the virtual machine since the user doesn't have a history of openness yet... but then there is no prompt asking for a password when you try to download the tools.

• How do to activate 'VAPP Options' on an existing virtual machine, and then add the properties that will be passed down through the OVF - ENV. XML

  
  
  I'm trying to understand vSphere PowerCLI how to activate the "Options of VAPP" on an exsiting VM (in this case a model freshly cloned) then add properties and select cdrom of the FVO data access such as when the virtual machine is running the FVO - env.xml contains the properties in the CD-ROM drive.
  
  If I use the vSphere client and open the virtual machine settings and click on the tab 'Options' and then select "Options of VAPP" and change the setting to "Enabled" and then select 'VAPP-> Advanced Options' and click on the button 'Properties' on the right, I can add the properties and then I can change them vsphere PowerCLI, but given that these actions are not retained if I clone the virtual machine I need a way to put these in place of vSphere PowerCLI without using the vSphere client to do.
  
  Thanks in advance for the help!

  You can use the vSphere API to activate the 'Options of VAPP"on an existing virtual machine, and set properties. For example:

  $spec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec

  $spec.vAppConfig = new-Object VMware.Vim.VmConfigSpec

  $spec.vAppConfig.property = new-Object VMware.Vim.VAppPropertySpec [] (1)

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0] = new-Object VMware.Vim.VAppPropertySpec

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0] .operation = 'Add '.

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0] = new-Object VMware.Vim.VAppPropertyInfo .info

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.key = 0

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.classId = "Property1ClassID".

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.instanceId = "Property1InstanceID".

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.id = "Property_1.

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.category = "Property1Category".

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.label = "property 1.

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.type = "string".

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.userConfigurable = $true

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.defaultValue = "Property1DefaultValue".

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.value = «»

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.description = "Property1Description".

• The virtual machine that wouldn't die - or - how the % ^ $^ % $ do I stop a suspended virtual machine?

  Fusion: v4.1.4

  VM: Windows XP SP3

  OK, so I copied on my old XP VM, initially created on Workstation 5, on my Mac. It starts very well and I've added merge tools without problem. Everything works fine. BUT if I power down using start-> computer-> Turn Off Guest, it will just into suspend mode. I have a--suspend try virtual machine-> Force Shut Down and it just goes back to the standby mode. I try to start-> turn off the computer-> restart followed by start-> computer-> Turn Off and same thing. Virtual machine-> Force restart following start-> computer-> Turn Off the same results. So nothing I've tried will turn off what I can change the settings.

  I think what happened is, I had initially set the preferences of the merger to 'Suspend the virtual machine', powered on virtual machine and then he changed it to "Turn off the virtual machine" and then tried to stop.

  An OS X Lion VM, I have no problem turns off.

  What can I do, short removing the cursed thing and start over? And if I do that I'll have the same problem I think.

  Administer a test... While the virtual machine is stopped, manually edit the .vmx placing a # configuration file to: snapshot.action = "autoRevert"

  It is a parameter that is available from the VMware Workstation user interface but not the INTERFACE of VMware Fusion and I believe that it is perhaps the origin of the problem.

• How to: recover disk space by removing the updates of windows installation files

  Original title : Software updates to XP Pro do take the disk space that can be reclaimed by removing downloaded files?

  I want to recover disk space which can have useless files.  Once an update is installed, the downloaded file can be deleted and if so, where they are on my drive?

  Please note this is only for Windows XP and is not on Vista or Windows 7

  Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.

  These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/xxxxxx
  NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

  Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.

  How to recover disk space on a computer running Windows XP with a hard disk of 4 GB or less
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/956324

• Delete a partition in a virtual machine and expand the initial allocation of hard drive

  I have created a virtual machine running server 2012R2 with an allowance of 60 GB drive. I decided after doing hours of work on the virtual machine I had assigned too little disk space for the virtual machine. I decided that I just go in vSphere and change settings and add to the existing space. The problem is that it has created a new partition rather by increasing the size of the original, which doesn't help me. How can I remove this new partition and just expand the original that has been allocated when I created this virtual machine?

  Thank you

  Hi Paul,.

  Could you clarify what you mean by;

  The problem is that it has created a new partition rather by increasing the size of the original

  (A) do you mean you modified the virtual machine and added a second disc, rather than increase the size of the original? or;

  (B) you increase the size of the original disk and create a new partition in this free space?

  Be that as it may, the question should be simple to solve;

  (A) remove the second disk you don't need, increase the size of the original. Then from the OS Disk Manager, rescan the disks and extend C:\ in free space.

  (B) delete the partition that you don't need. From the OS Disk Manager, expand C:\ in free space.

  See you soon,.

• Sharing of virtual machines and the NETWORK adapter settings

  I usually have multiple NICs per physical machine, and I often map more than one NETWORK card in a virtual machine. This does all work well with 'regular' virtual machines and virtual network Editor. I use 10.0.1 on linux 64-bit Workstation.

  As soon as I share a virtual machine, the NIC mappings cannot be changed in any useful way. I can spend only NAT, HostOnly and connected by a bridge in a ComboBox control, without the ability to select a specific vmnet. Although connections are bridged, they are displayed as NAT, which makes no sense at all...

  What is the reason for this? I'm doing something wrong? If this is the intended behavior, it's shared VMs useless for me...

  Kind regards

  Thomas

  I reinstalled VMware Workstation and now I understand what happened.

  I need ever - and HostOnly-setting in NAT network, so the first thing I usually do after installing VMware is to remove them and fills vmnet0 to eth0 and eth1 to vmnet1. This works perfectly well with non-shared virtual machines.

  For shared virtual computers, this mapping has been messed up somehow. Now it seems to work fine, I removed all the vmnets and has created vmnet10-> eth0 and vmnet11-> eth1.

  If the problem is solved for me; but I can't say how the maps I screwed up. I certainly had two bridged devices, but has been shown only a single bridged device.

• Who is looking at my virtual machine using the VSphere Console at the same time?

  People,

  I would like to know if it is possible to know what VI Client / vSphere console user currently displays the Vmware console at the same time for a particular virtual machine I'm working on?
  Because right now, someone else is my VM console access and may have forgotten to close the VI Client and now I'm stuck.

  This is the error that I got when I try to connect to the console. Internal error MKS due to the 'RemoteDisplay.maxConnections with a value of 1"is in force.

  Thank you

  Hello, AlbertWT-

  Well, it seems that there is another way.  You can get the number of current connections of MKS (mouse keyboard screen) for the given virtual machine and uses this value to your Select statement.  Which must correspond with the users with current MKS connections to this virtual machine.

  So, what to put with what hosted proposed and you changed, it would be like:

  $strVMName = "myVM"## get VM; will use an ExtensionData value from this later$vm = Get-VM -Name $strVMName## get the events that are for console connects, sort, and then select the first X items, based on the number of current MKS connectionsGet-VIEvent $vm | ? {$_.FullFormattedMessage -like "Remote console Connected*"} | Sort CreatedTime -Descending | Select UserName, CreatedTime -First $vm.ExtensionData.Summary.Runtime.NumMksConnections | ft -AutoSize
  

  And, a variation on the last line, the one who checks the type of the VIEvent (vs do a string comparison):

  ## same, but check the event type instead of a string compare on the FullFormattedMessage (just to not rely on string compares)Get-VIEvent $vm | ? {$_ -is [VMware.Vim.VmRemoteConsoleConnectedEvent]} | Sort CreatedTime -Descending | Select UserName, CreatedTime -First $vm.ExtensionData.Summary.Runtime.NumMksConnections | ft -AutoSize
  

  The two should work, but the second version removes the dependency on the string comparison.  For example, if the FullFormattedMessage changes in the future implementations of vSphere, things should still work (However, this would be still vulnerable to break if VMware changed the name of the type of the event).  A bit of a preference thing.

  How does do for you?

  Note: by sorting on Createduserid, this process assumes that the current console connections have been made in the order.  In other words, if someone has been connected to the console of the virtual machine since yesterday and connect / disconnect / reconnect, _you_ will be the last two events Connect.

• Photos of virtual machines with multiple disks on different LUNS - Question

  I have some questions on how to manage the snapshots of virtual machines with multiple disks on different LUNS.  First of all, the LUNS are VMFS.  We are just starting to add virtual machines with dedicated for data storage format VMFS LUNS.  I don't think an extra space must be made for snapshots, as well as at least 100 GB LUN is required to store the data, and then say, add about 25 to 50% of this amount?  Set the 100 GB vmdk file but have the GB from 25 to 50 additional disk space for snapshots, if necessary (rather than just to get a unit number logic needed 100 GB of data and devote all of the 100 GB to the vmdk file).  In addition, if a virtual machine has several files vmdk on different LUNS, which will be a problem to take a snapshot, and is it possible to do just a snapshot of a disk of a virtual computer (as the volume of the BONE)?

  Thanks for any help.

  Snapshot files are created in the home folder of the VM by default for all virtual disks, no matter on what data store they are. You must make sure you have enough free disk space on the data store for snapshots.

  If you want to exclude a virtual disks of taking snapshots, you can set it to 'Independent' - 'Persistent' machine virtual settings to the HARD drive.

• Reports on virtual machines and their records

  I want to create a report on all my virtual machines and disks attached to each.  My preference would be to have the information in a .csv, so I can work with it in Excel.  What I've done so far has proved frustrating as I find it hard to combine the two.

  What I tried:

  1 VI Toolkit - I know I can run the command 'Get - VM' and "Get-hard drive" to get everything I need, but the combination of the two is beyond my current abilities of PowerShell.

  2 Report.ps1 of alanrenouf - gives a lot of information, but nowhere close to what I need.  I considered trying to modify this script, but I thought that it would take more time than learning how to make #1.

  3 OpenXMPowerTools - get this utility approach work still takes hours without result, more work than it's worth

  I have a few scripts (VBscript) skills, it is just their transfer in the new PowerShell environment for me I have difficulties with that.  I'm picturing extract names VM of the command Get - VM and then providing them to the hard disk-Get command and write VM name and output in the .csv file.

  Any help you can provide me with would be greatly appreciated to learn PowerShell.

  Thank you

  Did you watch his pretty good RVtools and maybe gives you options of export or copied data and import it with excellent that.  Its very nice ESX administration tool.

• Error: "VMware Workstation has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full."

  I get this error message:

  VMware Workstation has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full. To continue, free 1.3 GB of additional disk space.

  I read up on the subject and found that I have to re size a partition. Anyone know what it could be? I can't find anything that looks like it has something to do with VMware. Does anyone know what size and what file system is it?

• Need to move virtual machines and power over the other ESXi HA and issues of Configuration of power

  Dears

  Need to move virtual machines and power on ESXi others using the HA and Power Options

  So what are the Options I need activate and deactivate:

  Turn on Vsphere HA

  Activate the tracking host

  Admission control (disabled)

  VM Machine Options

  VM restart priority (medium)

  Response from the host of off the power isolation

  VM monitoring (people with disabilities)

  Monitoring of (high) sensitivity

  Heartbeat of data store (select one of cluster data warehouses taking into account my preferences) of the data store is checked

  On each:

  Start/stop of the virtual machine is turned off

  Please indicate the required Options and on virtual machines, we are not turning on?

  Just to be clear, that VMware HA will only restart the VMS if ESXi hosts fails - or surveillance of the VM is turned on which will be monitors VMs will they crash or suspend and restart the virtual machine affected.

  and just to be clear, that the response of insulation parameter has nothing to do whther THAT HA will work or not - it does come into play if the ESXi host is isolated of the HA - Cluster

  xMotion works only between active ESXi hosts that can communicate with the server vCenter - and if the ESXi host broke down or became isolated and vMotion may not work.

  vMotion is automated with DRS that vMotion will a VM who need more resources to an ESXi host with enough reosurces.
