• 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 one move the templates of virtual machine from one host to another host in the cluster even

  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

  James

  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 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 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 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.

• Add vCPUs to a virtual machine

  I have a virtual machine running on an ESXI host with 2 Sockets and 8 cores per socket.  My VM has 2 vCPUs.  I need to go from 1 vCPU to 2 vCPUs.  On the property sheet "edit VM", should I make this change by adding another nucleus, while I have a plug with 2 hearts, or adding a second take while I have two takes of each with a carrot?

  Unless you use some kind of software in your VM licensed by processor socket, I recommend you add another outlet instead of adding another nucleus.

• 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.

• Add hosts with existing virtual machines for 'Greenfield' active DRS Cluster

  I'm currently involved in a project for the hypervisor 5.5 and vCenter. Existing are 2 physical servers with redundant everything and 8 SAS hot swap hard drive bays. Initially, 8 bays only 4 have been populated with hard drives. Hard disks have been removed, ESXi 5.0 has been loaded, 4 virtual machines created on each server and all lived happily ever after.

  Now, I would like to upgrade these servers to 5.5... as follows:

  I filled the remaining 4 bays on each server with some hard disks and created a second strip of sufficient capacity (twice the capacity of the 4 original disks). I'm stop servers, past the stripe for starting a new band of readers and installed ESXi 5.5 on the new band. The old Strip also remains in tact, so that I can start to ESXi 5.0, if I set to boot from the original soundtrack or boot to ESXi 5.5 if I boot to the new band (two operating systems starts very well, are properly networked, configured vCenter, etc.).

  When booting in 5.5, he sees his own, new band and is also the soundtrack which is listed as a second data store attached (I think actually I want to make possible migration of the simple VM from the old to the new data store), both are disk space of LSI, Non - SSD, Type VFMS5.

  Panic sets in when I start both computers in 5.5 and the time comes to add 5.5 hosts in a cluster (I also want to test the vStorage DRS and HA) and I've reached the setting of the, "choose Resource Pool." I'm scared to death that choose the first option, "all of the virtual machines in this updated host in the cluster resource pool root. Pools of resources currently present on the host computer will be deleted. "will mean not only a reformatting of the new band which I would like to add to the cluster, but also the still attached old band that includes the data that I want to keep. I don't want to lose data or virtual machines on the soundtrack, but to migrate them in a cluster of 2 servers ESXi 5.5. I was really hoping to migrate data to new tapes on new hosts and then re - purpose boards 2 original (on both computers) as a third table vStorage.

  Issues related to the:

  1. If I choose the option "put all the virtual machines from the host in the pool of resources of the root cluster. Pools of resources currently present on the host computer will be deleted. "with all the drives connected, all my data will be lost?

  2. If I pull the 4 original disks (5.0) and use the option 'put all virtual machines from the host in the pool of resources of the root cluster. Pools of resources currently present on the host computer will be deleted. "that with the new arrays connected (5.5) and then reconnect the old paintings after that the hosts are added to the cluster, will be only the re added still get sucked into the tables and data deleted?

  3. choose the second option, "create a new resource pool for virtual machines from the host and resource pools. This preserves hierarchy to pool resources in. the host' a safe option? If this option works, no matter if I have my original array attached when you add hosts to the cluster?

  Last point: by reading all the documents I found it seems strongly suggested to set up guests who have not a deployed virtual machines, that's why I'm going to great efforts to try to keep the new hosts as empty as possible and with 1 port base networking while waiting to complete the configuration. Does it matter if I migrate virtual machines or add them as guests to the ESXi 5.5 before or after I have add hosts to the cluster?

  Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

  I'd go with option C.

  VSAN I would agree has some stupid requirements, but that they were aiming for is almost class company SAN at a decent price by using the SSD as caching tables, but as you said if you don't need not good I would continue to go with a NAS NFS solution.

• How the scripts for the new virtual machine storage profile

  Hey all,.

  I have a long script that I've been put together so that our operations people size new virtual machines.  I ask a series of questions for such things as the VM name, cluster, VLAN, plug hardware, OS/template, etc.  I use LucD method to create a temporary copy of a customization OS specification to insert a static IP address.  I have everything works except that I can't figure out how this script drop-down list:

  

  vSphere 5.0, any VCD.  Looks like it should be pretty simple, but I can't find anything on how to do it.  It would be nice to choose this in the New - VM cmdlet somewhere, as well as the use of the GUI.  Any ideas?

  Throw a glance PowerCLI 5.8, when it is available, there is a charge storage profile cmdlets in there (as we showed in our VMworld session this week).

• 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 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 '?

  You can get the overhead of the memory of all your virtual machines with:

  Get - VM | Select Name,@{N="MemoryOverhead; E={$_. ExtensionData.Runtime.MemoryOverhead/1MB}}
