• Set the host name for a virtual machine

  While the vApps instantiation using a model about the same way as the sample of HellovCloud.java, I need to be able to change the host name (called the name of the computer in vCD) of the only virtual machine contained in the VAPP. I can't find examples on how to do it. Any ideas?

  Hope that this helps, I took it out some code that we use (SDK). NET - this is not an exact copy of the labour code, but must be what it takes to get there.

  String modifierText = "1234";

  With complete API v1.5 may need to change this kind of object to Vm

  VAPP vm = GETTHECHILDFROMTHEAPP (VAPP. GetChildrenVms());

  If (vm. GetGuestCustomizationSection()! = null)
  {
  GuestCustomizationSectionType guestSection is vm. GetGuestCustomizationSection();
  int len = guestSection.ComputerName.Length;
  If (len > 10) len = 10;
  guestSection.ComputerName = guestSection.ComputerName.Substring (0, len) + modifierText;

• Can I use the same windows on my virtual machine?

  I had windows pre-installed in my dell laptop (Latitude E6420). I did not have the cd key but I extracted using a program called Magical jelly bean key finder. Now, I have the following information on my windows installation

  Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1

  Product no.: XXXXXXXX

  Installed from media "OEM."

  Product ID: XXXXX-OEM-XXXXXXXX

  CD Key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

  Computer name: XXXXX

  Registered owner: XXXXX

  Registered organization: Microsoft
  Now, I want to install linux on my machine and use the current windows in a virtual machine inside the linux host. Is is possible if I completely uninstall this windows of my computer and reinstall the virtual machine with the same key?
  I'm not very familiar with this also can someone guide me what are the steps I have to take if this is possible.

  Hi Andre,

  Thank you for your answer, but this does not completely answer my question. I also read that OEM installation does not install the same windows on another machine (virtual machine is like different machine even if I do this on the same machine) and installation of the mine is OEM type.

  More important still, how install windows in the virtual environment? If I format the computer and install linux, in addition to this install virualbox and install inside windows that use the cd - key and it will work. ? I doubt it because the windows is already activated in this machine.

  The extract of the contract (EULA) for Windows 7 and applies to the retail and OEM of Windows 7 versions. So, Yes, you can reinstall it in a Virtual Machine.

  Yes, you will need to format the machine under Linux, then reinstall Windows 7 in a computer program virtual suitable as Oracle Virtual Box 4.2, VMWare Player 5.0 or VMWare Workstation. You can then use the product key located on the COA sticker to reactivate the license.

• Not possible to export a list of virtual machines that are created in the past 7, 30, 120 and 180 days since an imported csv file containing the date of creation of virtual machine

  Not possible to export a list of virtual machines that are created in the past 7, 30, 120 and 180 days since an imported csv file containing the date of creation of virtual machine. My questions is the correct statement to the variable: $VmCreated7DaysAgo: $_CreatedOn "-lt" $CDate7.

  # #SCRIPT_START

  $file = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\VM-Repo.csv".

  $Import = import-csv $file

  $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\Last7Days.csv".

  $start7 = (get-Date). AddMonths(-1)

  $CDate7 = $start7. ToString('MM/dd/yyyy')

  $VmCreated7DaysAgo = $Import | Select-object - property name, Powerstate, vCenter, VMHost, Cluster, file, Application, CreatedBy, CreatedOn, NumCpu, MemoryGB | Where-Object {$_.} CreatedOn - lt $CDate7} | Sort-Object CreatedOn

  $TotalVmCreated7DaysAgo = $VmCreated7DaysAgo.count

  $VmCreated7DaysAgo | Export-Csv-path $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture

  Write-Host "$TotalVmCreated7DaysAgo VMs created in 7 days" - BackgroundColor Magenta

  Invoke-Item $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile

  # #SCRIPT_END

  You can use the New-Timespan cmdlet in the Where clause, it returns the time difference between 2 DateTime objects.

  An example of this cmdley

  New-TimeSpan-start (Get-Date). AddDays(-7)-end (Get-Date). Select days - ExpandProperty

  In your case, you could do

  Where {(New Timespan-démarrer ([DateTime] $_.))} CreatedOn) - end $start7). {7 days - gt}

  But beware of negative numbers.

• What is the advantage to affect multiple virtual machines in a data store?

  Hello

  Quite a question stupid and basic, but I can't answer . What is the advantage of having multiple virtual machines in a store of VMFS data instead of having each VM in another VMFS data store? (eg. 3 VMs in 1 data store or 3 data warehouses and each virtual machine in one of them). I can only think about the ease of management for storage administrator because it creates only a single large LUN.
  
  Thank you

  By allowing multiple virtual machines in a data store, you can run more than 256 virtual machines in a DRS cluster.

  As a host has a limit of 256 scsi identification numbers, which means that it accesses no more than 255 LUNS shared. 1 scsi ID is used for local storage.

  In a DRS cluster as each host must be mapped to the same data warehouses to ensure that virtual machines can be moved on the cluster and run on any of the hosts.

  Now in my life as an architect VMware PSO I saw that a lot of virtual machines that require a single data store. The main reason to isolate a virtual machine on a data store must provide sufficient i/o performance. This can be achieved with other solutions than to isolate a virtual machine on a data store. Having a properly architected storage subsystem is crucial, vSphere can get out of a very large number of the IOPS / s. With technologies such as SIOC and DRS for storage, you can check that the virtual machines receive IO performance according to the needs.

• How to get memory for a virtual machine?

  Hi all

  In vSphere Client > select a virtual machine > summary under general tab, shows:

  Guest OS: Windows XP

  VM version: 7

  CPU: 1 vCPU

  Memory: 1024 MB

  General memory 103,58 MB

  With PowerCLI, how to recover this figure "103.58' for VM 'vm123 '?

  Concerning

• Can I change the RAM available on a virtual machine without having to reboot?

  I would like to know if there is an option to change the RAM available on a virtual machine without restarting the virtual machine. I saw this old news item that says that it is

  possible (http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-10044031-92.html), but I don't know how to do it. Any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance.

  Arne post, called PowerCLI: toggle the function add Hot VMs, shows how.

• Deleting the same files of many virtual machines remotely

  Hi all

  I tried to delete the same file several virtual machines remotely using the following script PowerCLI:

  $a = Get - VM | %{
  
  foreach ($nic as $_.) Guest.Nics) {}
  Write-output $nic. IPAddress
  }
  }
  foreach ($i in $a)
  {$b = get-WmiOBJECT-query "SELECT * from CIM_DataFile where Name='C:\\test\\deleteme.exe'"-computername $i}
  $b.delete)

  }

  It works perfectly when I run the script on the host virtual machines while I am running the script PowerCLI. When I Connect-viserver to another host however and try to run the script, I get the dreaded "RPC server is unavailable error (HRESULT: 0x800706BA)" for Get-WmiObject.  Virtual machines don't have Windows Firewall and have all TCP/IP, RPC and WMI services started, so who could eliminate any possibility.

  I am also able to run other scripts that use the Get-wmiobject across all virtual machines such as scripts to change the DNS or Netbios name across many machines on different hosts.

  Any comments would be greatly appreciated and please feel free to comment if you know maybe other ways which can delete files on multiple virtual machines in any other way.  Installation PowerCLI to run the script locally on each host would be a laborious process to do.

  Thank you very much!

  Best regards

  To solve the problem with the quotes, you can use double quotes inside the string. Like this:

  «del "«c:\documents and settings\text.exe»»»

  Or you can use for the string single quotes and double quotes inside:

  "del"c:\documents and settings\text.exe"

• Disable the network interface on a virtual machine

  Hello all-

  Is there a way to disable the network interface on the network adapter in the virtual machine?  We have a group of applications who want to simulate a network in collaboration with MSCS failure - I don't necessarily agree with the fact that this type of test, but try to determine if this is possible from the functional point of view.

  Our ESX host have networks of virtual machine set up off the coast of 4 port nic mezzanine card, and I don't want to touch the VM network vswitch as any part of this test.

  Thanks for any help you can provide-

  Steve

  Is there a way to disable the network interface on the network adapter in the virtual machine?

  Yes, in the virtual machine settings, for each NIC assigned to the virtual machine you will find a checkbox 'connected '. Unchecking it's like pulling the network cable.

• Set the priority of restarting a virtual machine

  Hello

  I'm trying to set the priority of restarting a virtual machine in a cluster. I worked along THIS DISCUSSION to create this script:

  var myVcClusterDasConfigInfo = new VcClusterDasConfigInfo() ; 
  var myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec = new VcClusterDasVmConfigSpec() ; 
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec.operation = VcArrayUpdateOperation.add; 
  var myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo = new VcClusterDasVmConfigInfo() ;
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo.key = VM;
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo.restartPriority =  VcDasVmPriority.high;
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec.info = myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo;
  var myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpecArray = new Array() ; 
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpecArray.push( myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec ); 
  var myVcClusterConfigSpecEx = new VcClusterConfigSpecEx() ; 
  myVcClusterConfigSpecEx.dasConfig = myVcClusterDasConfigInfo; 
  myVcClusterConfigSpecEx.dasVmConfigSpec = myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpecArray; 
  Cluster.reconfigureComputeResource_Task( myVcClusterConfigSpecEx, true );
  

  Where Cluster and VM are objects of the WF input.

  Executions of thoughts scripts, however, in the CR, I get the error «the parameter of {entry.@enum.» InvalidDasConfigArgument.EntryForInvalidArgument} is not valid for the cluster.

  It's simple... but I just can't cope.

  Thank you guys

  Also I just realized... that the method I used is deprecated... grrr

  Here's the correct one:

  var myVcClusterDasVmSettings = new VcClusterDasVmSettings();
  myVcClusterDasVmSettings.restartPriority=VcClusterDasVmSettingsRestartPriority.fromString(priority);
  
  var myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo = new VcClusterDasVmConfigInfo();
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo.key=VM;
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo.dasSettings=myVcClusterDasVmSettings;
  
  var myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec = new VcClusterDasVmConfigSpec() ;
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec.operation = VcArrayUpdateOperation.add;
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec.info = myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo;
  
  var myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpecArray = new Array() ;
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpecArray.push( myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec );
  var myVcClusterConfigSpecEx = new VcClusterConfigSpecEx() ;
  var myVcClusterDasConfigInfo = new VcClusterDasConfigInfo() ;
  myVcClusterConfigSpecEx.dasConfig = myVcClusterDasConfigInfo;
  myVcClusterConfigSpecEx.dasVmConfigSpec = myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpecArray;
  task=ClusterName.reconfigureComputeResource_Task( myVcClusterConfigSpecEx, true );
  

• Is it possible to hide the news of Vmware's Virtual Machine?

  Hello

  It is possible that you could change some things in the registry, but there are many other "clues" as something being a virtual machine, such as the presence of tools VM, MAC address, drivers, etc.

• Need help updated the VMX file on several Virtual Machine

  All,

  Can anyone help with a problem I'm having?  Here is a brief explanation of what is happening and what we need to solve.

  Recently we found out that we need to add a line in the file VMX of several virtual machines.  In the past, I was able to do this, but would have cold start the virtual machine for the changes to take effect.  Starts cold won't be a problem, because we can program it.

  However, no one knows a way to add this line in the file VMX virtual machines in a cluster.

  Here's the line I need added:

  Devices.hotplug = "false".

  Here is a script that was used earlier (esx 3.0 days) to keep the VM tools updated on reboot.  At this point, if the virtual machine has been turned on, this change could not do through the UI.  However, this script worked to update the .vmx file and then we have cold reboots for the changes to take effect.

  Get-viserver - < Server > - < user > - < password >

  $viview = get-Cluster-name NOMCLUSTER | Get - VM | foreach-object {get-view ($_.ID)}
  $viview | {foreach-object
  $vmConfigSpec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools = new-Object VMware.Vim.ToolsConfigInfo
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools.afterPowerOn = 'True '.
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools.afterResume = 'True '.
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools.beforeGuestStandby = 'True '.
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools.beforeGuestShutdown = 'True '.
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy = "UpgradeAtPowerCycle".
  $_. ReconfigVM ($vmConfigSpec)
  }

  The exact script can be found in Disable HotPlug

• How to get the host name of the physical computer inside a virtual machine until the user logs in Windows?

  I don't know if this is the right place to post this question, I develop software to support VMWare PCoIP and need to know how to get the host name of the physical machine (which manages the virtual machine and View Client) within a virtual machine before the user logs in Windows of the virtual machine.

  I understand there are two ways to read the host name, via the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment registry and environment variables, but they are available once the user is connected. I need info before the user connects.

  Is there a VMware API that can be called or asked the host name?

  Thank you.

  Not on the broker, but there are the startup scripts to log on to the computer virtual itself: http://pubs.vmware.com/view-52/topic/com.vmware.view.integration.doc/view_integration_startsession_script.9.2.html

  Note that these executed when a virtual desktop computer allocated connection, not to the point that the client connects - it is possible for the customer to not complete the connection (crash, cancel, network failure) and so any what solution you design must handle this.

• Can't get OS USB host for the installation of a new virtual machine

  I am trying to create my first VM in VSphere client. All my other machines have been migrated to Hyper-V machine. I created the machine but can't load of windows server 2003 r2 32 bit OS ISO. I tried several ways to no success.

  The virtual machine just says: operating system not found. The first way I tried was put the installation disc in the VSphere host and modify the virtual machine settings to point to the CD-ROM. It did not work.

  The second way, I tried was by clicking on the icon of the disk to the VM Console and choosing iso on the local disk. I then navigate to the iso file. When I did this it remains stuck in the connection. Even after I change this setting if I try to go back to the icon of the drive console he says always login no matter what I do on the parameters of the virtual machine. Can I stop it trying to connect?

  The third way, that I tried was to stick to a USB to the VSphere host. However, I can't understand how to assign the virtual machine to USB. I noticed that when I plug my USB key, it says USB configuration has changed in the events, but I do not see the USB drive as an option under storage.

  The fourth way that I tried was to use WINSCP for SFTP the ISO for the data store. When I do this need me in the root directory that has only about 100 MB of space on it. So it allows me to start the transfer of the iso and the error. How can I change this?

  I'm really frustrated about something which I think should be really easy. Any help is appreciated.

  You have access to vCenter?

  If so, this video shows how to download an ISO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6v8GsWJ9dc

  If you get your ISO on the data store that you can navigate to it through the client vSphere (console) to the virtual machine, do not forget to set the "connect on startup' or 'Connected' when you configure the virtual machine's CD drive.

  [Edit] Boot from USB can sometimes be a problem, if you need to boot from USB you can use a like Plop Boot Manager, it is an ISO standard, you can load into the virtual machine CD player. More info here: http://www.vladan.fr/great-tip-how-to-boot-from-usb-image-in-vmware-workstation/ ... It's for workstation, but it works for ESXi 5.0 as well.

• 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.
