• Check if a virtual machine has connected network and connect if it isn't?

  Thus, creating a big deployment VM automation workflow, I need a way to check and make sure that the deployed virtual computer has its connected network. However, I can't seem to find a way to generate scripts which correctly. Any ideas?

  Hello

  There are different strategies. Look at the 'vim3waitDNSNameInTools' action, it waits until the virtual machine arrives with a given host name. Which ensures that this customization is done completely.

  Alternatively you can ping the virtual computer by using the System.isHostReachable () method, find an example here: Ping on the workflow server

  (I remember there were some problems with this method in previous versions, be sure to properly test ;-))

  Another strategy might be to use the operations of comments and call a ping of in the guest operating system (with which you shall vro network connection to the virtual machine itself, you can for example leave the guest operating system ping the address of the gateway or so)

  Kind regards

• How to check if the virtual machine is managed by vCloud Director

  Hello

  I need to find a way to check in Orchestrator so the virtual machine is managed by Director vCloud.

  I can't verify this with PowerCLI command below:

  (get - vm Vm_name *). ExtensionData.Config.ManagedBy.ExtensionKey

  

  .. .but my goal is to check in the orchestrator workflow.

  Help, please.

  You can get the same information from the VC:VirtualMachine object in vCO.

  Create a workflow or action with a named input of type vm VC:VirtualMachine and the snippet of code below would get the information you are looking for.

  var extensionKey = vm.config.managedBy.extensionKey;

• virtual machine cannot start, because the snapshot of the virtual machine has been deleted by mistake.

  virtual machine cannot start, because the snapshot of the virtual machine has been deleted by mistake.

  When I start this virtual machine, it prompts: unable to find the 0001.vmdk, this disc is my shot, has been deleted by mistake.

  How to restore this virtual machine.

  You need help with a revival of the 000001.vmdk deleted or do you want to repair the virtual machine so that it works without the snapshot?

  The last option, follow these steps:
  remove the virtual machine from the inventory and edit the vmx file so that it uses the basedisk. Then add the virtual machine to inventory.
  If you need data from the snapshot call me through Skype "sanbarrow" - I may be able to help

• How to locate a new virtual machine on a different hard disk

  VMware Fusion 3.1.1 (282344) Mac OS 10.6.4.

  I have a few virtual machines on my boot drive and am running out of space. I want to create a new Win 7 vm on a drive different but can't seem to figure out how to tell VMware to put there. I know I could create in the normal location on my boot drive and move it, but I didn't Go on the boot drive for this.

  How to create the new virtual machine on the new drive?

  Thx for advice,

  Ken

  As you walk through the Wizard New VM and you arrive at Cap sheet, you have two choices...

  One is to select the Customize settings button and the other is just click the Finish button.  Each choice made appear to save to: dialog box and you can pick any location you want.  Note that you may need to click the down arrow located right of save it under: text box to expand this worksheet to display all the options.  BTW, clicking on this button is the standard behavior of OS X and has nothing to do with the VMware Fusion in itself.

• Transport mode "nbdssl" is not available if the virtual machine has no snapshot

  When I use VixDiskLib_ConnectEx with a vmdk having a snapshot, I "nbdssl". If the virtual machine has no snapshot, I've always had "nbd" no matter what I specified in the parameter transportModes of the VixDiskLib_ConnectEx. I tried NULL, "nbdssl". It affects always unconditionally "nbd" when there is no snapshot.

  Is this expected behavior? If so, I am not able to write safely to a vmdk. During a recovery, I create a new vm. However, there is no snapshot. I want to get back to this vmdk.  How to work around this limitation of security?

  You use 1.1?  nbdssl restores are not supported on 1.1.

• Take a snapshot of a lun SAN: How do I disassemble the virtual machine?

  SAN is FC 9958E Hitachi, ESX 3.5 update 2.

  I try to take a snapshot of a lun (with a virtual machine in this regard) san and must turn off the virtual machine and disassemble the VMFS virtual machine so I can do that there is no I/O will the lun when I take the snapshot.

  How can I (of) a virtual machine of the VMFS without making the other virtual machines running in the same cluster? I know that the VMFS is a system of shared files grouped campaigns, exclusive property of vmware. Does anyone know the command to use?

  If anyone has any info on this subject, it would be great.

  This is the documentation is 1.5 ESX, released in 2002.

  The command no longer exists in recent versions.

• Virtual machine has 8 virtual processors, but the host only supports 4... ?

  Hello

  My setup is a VSphere cluster with 4 guests each with:

  E5450 3.00 Ghz Dual Xeon Quad & 32 GB of Ram.

  I run a number of virtual machines, mainly Windows 2003 Server Enterprise. Most of them is running on 2 or 4 virtual processors.

  I tried to create a new virtual machine with virtual cpu 6 or 8 and 16 GB of ram. When I tried to turn on the virtual machine, I got the message below:

  Virtual machine has 8 virtual processors, but the host supports only 4. The number of virtual processors can be limited by the OS, etc...

  Now, I checked my licenses and they are for each host that I have:

  Company of VSphere 4. 1-6 cores per processor. 2 cpu by assigned host.

  Thus, it cannot be a problem with the license...

  Any ideas?

  Hello and welcome to the forums.

  The Enterprise Plus edition is required for vSMP 8 channels.  You can check in the vSphere editions comparison.  The Enterprise edition will be limited to 4 vCPUs.

  The 6 cores per processor refers to the ESX host itself and directly relate to the SMP virtual machine.

  Good luck!

• vROPs - you can create a report to show when a virtual machine has changed and what has changed?

  I can't currently developing a report/view that can show me what I'm looking for.  I thought since it's related capabilities vROPs can keep track.  Is there a way to see the when a virtual machine has changed and what has changed?  Looking mainly vdisk, vCPU or vRAM.

  Thanks for help or suggestions.

  Hi newbski1,

  There are few things you can try to help him with this.

  1. the events view shows you changes in resources, it is not terribly detailed, but it will help

  2. depending on your version, you can also view in Configuration Manager that is part of the vRO suite that will show you the changes to configurations.

  See you soon

• PowerCLi script to check if 2 virtual machines are on the same host

  Hello

  I'm nubby on PowerCLI and I would like to help in the construction of a script.

  The script should check if two virtual machines (named test1 and test2) are running on the same host in a vCenter and send a notification (email), if they do.

  Something similar with affinity / anti-affinite DRS rules (but not through the DRS enabled on vCenter).  My focus is on the affinity. In case this happens, I need vMotion one of them on an another ESXi host(manually or automated).

  What I have done until now is the following:

  Get - VM | Select Name, @{N = 'Cluster'; {E = {Get-Cluster - VM $_}}, '

  @{N = "ESX host"; {E = {Get-VMHost - VM $_}}, '

  @{N = 'vCenter'; E={$_. "(ExtensionData.CLient.ServiceUrl.Split('/') [2]}}, '"

  @{N = "Datastore"; {E = {Get-Datastore - VM $_}} | `

  Export-Csv - NoTypeInformation C:\Scripts\file.csv

  That becomes all the VMS and export a CSV file information:

  Name	Cluster	ESX host	vCenter	Data store
  test2	cluster_test	ESXi_test1	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1
  Test1	cluster_test	ESXi_test1	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1
  For1.local	cluster_test	ESXi_test1	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1
  VM1.local	cluster_test2	ESXi_test2	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1
  VM2.local	cluster_test3	ESXi_test3	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1
  VM31.local	cluster_test3	ESXi_test3	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1

  Thank you.

  Try like this.

  $tgtVM = "test1", "test2".

  Get-VM-name $tgtVM | Group-object - property VMHost | %{

  if($_.) County - gt 1) {}

  $vm = $_. Group | Get-Random

  $esx = $vm. VMHost

  $tgtEsx = get-Cluster - $vm VM | Get-VMHost | where {$_.} Name - not $esx. Name} | Get-Random

  Move-VM - $vm - Destination $tgtEsx VM - confirm: $false

  }

  }

• Virtual machine has 12 virtual processors, but the host only supports 8?

  Hi all I am using ESX 5.1 and have a machine Windows 2012 R2 Standard of virtual (vmx-09) comments that I'm moving to 8 processors to 12 processors.  But when I turn on the virtual machine after changing the UC 12 I get the error message

  "Virtual Machine has 12 virtual processors, but the host only supports 8. The number of virtual processors can be limited by the selected guest OS for the virtual machine or the granting of licenses for the host".

  Now, I know that 2012 R2 Standard Windows can handle 12 processors and I thought that ESX 5.1 could also, but I'm wrong?  This is the Standard of vSphere license 5.  Thank you!

  Hello

  vSphere 5.1 Standard license has a 8 vCPU per VM limit.

  Company = 32 vCPU

  Business + 64 vCPU

  You must upgrade to vSphere 5.5. This can be done with your vSphere license 5, as it is for all versions 5.X of vSphere and vCPU limit has been deleted in 5.5.

  So you can have as many vCPU per VM that your host has logical cores.

• How to export/import a virtual machine with ESXi 5

  I use the free version of ESXi 5 and have created a virtual machine that is configured with the software for our project. I would like to share this virtual machine with other members of the team, some of whom are in other places and have slow network connections.  I want to pack the VM in a reasonable size file or a set of files I could ftp (or put it on DVD for people in areas of slow network) that they could then import into their ESXi hosts. The virtual machine has a 60 GB drive that is implemented by using the option 'thin', so it contains only 6 or 7 GB of real data right now.  Is it possible to export the image to a file or set of files that can be imported to another people ESXI host?  Before when I used VM Player we could do this by upgrading backup files in virtual machine directory and copy them to the new machine. With the ESXi data store, I don't know that something like this can be done.  I used vCenter Converter to convert to ESXi Infrastructure VM in VM Player format (and vice versa), but it is extremely slow. I think I might point the Source to my ESXi host and the Destination to a co-workers ESXi host and run a 'conversion' to transfer the files, but I think it would be very slow and impractical for some people to 'slow-network '.  I tried with vSphere Client navigation data store and I see the download options, but when I tried to download a VM directory it just hung.  I enabled ssh on my server ESXi and I found the store of data under/vmfs/volumes and when I look in the folder that contains my VM, there a file myvmname - flat hard which is 60 GB in size, so if I tar the contents of this folder to move elsewhere it will be huge.

  Can anyone suggest a solution?  The licensed version of ESXi would offer better alternatives?

  You can watch export OVF available in the Client vSphere for this function.

• Impossible to allocate additional processors (virtual machine has 8 virtual processors, but the host only supports 4)

  Dear team,

  I want to devote 8 vcpu to one of the virtual machine, but it gives following error

  "Virtual Machine has 8 virtual processors, but the host supports only 4. The number of virtual processors can be limited by the selected guest OS for the virtual machine or the granting of licenses for the host".

  want to know the weather, that it depends on the os under license or guest vm

  

  Hello

  It is the restriction of license. 4-way vSMP is the right thing, you stressed in your screenshot.

  If you upgrade your server and license to vSphere 5, you can allocate 8 vCPU with Standard license and 32 vCPU with your license of the company!
