• Change the host for a virtual machine on a cluster and the host is not in accordance with the attached profile

  Hi all

  I have 02 questions.

  1. we have a cluster which has 02 physical hosts (Host1 and Host2). We have 02 virtual machines on the Cluster. Active DRS on the cluster.

  But the problem is that my 02 VMS are always stays on a Host2. A few weeks ago, each virtual machine carried out on each host. How can I place each virtual machine on each host to perform better.

  How to do this?

  2. I connect to the cluster using vSphere client 5.1, under summer host, I get the following message

  "Configuration problems: host is not in accordance with the attached profile.

  I suspect that this is the case for my question 1?

  Thank you very much

• Can join a Cluster of storage disk out of Maintenance DTS Mode to set up the profiles for a virtual machine storage policies?...

  Can join a Cluster of storage disk out of Maintenance DTS Mode to set up the profiles for a virtual machine storage policies?...

  
  IE can you define the rules of affinity DTS depending on how the rules of storage of profiles are configured for a virtual machine?

  In my mind it seems there is disconnect from the DTS and storage profiles.

  Thank you.

  = NOTE =.

  My lab at home, 2 organizes running ESXi 5.0

  Dv01 has

  Of startup vmfs 7200 RPM 160 G = dv01-BOOT

  Vmfs 1 TB 7200 RPM = VM02-VMFS

  VM02 has

  Of startup vmfs 7200 RPM 160 G = VM02-BOOT

  Vmfs 1 TB 7200 RPM = VM02-VMFS

  Vmfs 5900 RPM 2 TB = VM02-TV01

  I have (3) facility profiles of storage using 'User-defined storage Capablity' as shown below:

  (160 @ 7200 RPM SATA) boot > Boot

  Fast (160 7200 RPM SATA and 1 TB @ 7200 RPM SATA) > fast

  Slow (2 TB @ 5900 RPM SATA) > slow

  Then, I set up a storage Cluster with my local disks on dv01 (only to date)

  LocalVM disc dv01-BOOT and dv01-VMFS disk of the 'cluster of storage.

  I have a computer virtual called DC01 (HardDisk1) want to live on 'Boot' profile storage drive
  His "Non-compliant" poster according to the storage profile, it should run on drive 'boot' on dv01

  To get to this point, I put the StorageCluster in Mode of Maintenace 'DTS' and forced a sVmotion of all virtual machines off dv01-BOOT

  No disks are IO or claim of space.

  But once I take the 'DTS Maintenacne mode' STARTUP dv01 floppy is now get the DTS to return him to satisfy the storage profile (rule) I install... IE do the 'storage profile' VM complient (without doing a few externall API, the PS script or the 3rd party software calls)... ??

  Seems weird it is (or may be) such disconnection of a memory of the profiles and the StorageClusters and the DTS?

  Thank you...

  At this point, I think that storage DRS and storage profiles are two technologies to separate and work independently, but what you suggest is a great idea-

• Get the name of the host that a virtual machine is running, rather than the host ID

  Hello

  Looking for a little help, I question the result of a get - vm of the. Run to find the name of the host to a virtual machine runs on. All I seem to get is the host id that is a number.

  Y at - it an option in the GET - vm, which displays the name of the host, or is it possible to remove the name of the host from the value of the provided host id.

  What I want to do is the following:

  Enter a name for the virtual machine, hop on the host his race, ask the host for its groups of ports available, introduce an option of these groups of ports and when you enter the name, set the Group of ports of entry. Without the actual host name I can't find it.

  $selectedVM = read-host "enter the name of the VM.

  $vm = get - vm $selectedVM | Get-opinion

  $runhost = $vm.runtime.host

  $portgroups = get-virtualportgroup - VMHost $runhost

  'Port available to connect groups '.

  $portgroups

  $selectedPG = read-host "enter the port group name.

  $netadapters = get-networkadapter - VM $selectedVM

  ForEach ($netadapter to $netadapters)

  {

  all-NIC - NIC NetworkName $netadapter - $selectedPG - StartConnected: $TRUE - confirm: $false

  }

  Any help on this would be really appreciated.

  Thank you

  Dan

  Hi Dan,.

  You can retrieve the host name by using the Get-VMHost cmdlet

  $selectedVM = read-host "Enter VM Name"
  $vmhost = Get-VMHost -VM (Get-VM -Name $selectedVM) | Select-Object Name
  $runhost = $vmhost.Name
  

  Hope this helps

• How to configure the print server on multiple machines?

  Hello
  
  Can you get it someone please let me know the installation process of print server on multiple machines?
  That's what I thought.
  1. install Ghostscript on all machines.
  2 configure the print server on all machines.
  3. I guess I should point the IP address somewhere as a final step?
  
  Thanks in advance
  PM

  The steps you mentioned is correct.

  When you configure the print service, you can set the URL of the web application server financial information in .properties and this file will get stored in the HSS registry (this is the step where you run the FRprintserversetup.cmd). So when you run Setup of each print server there will be created for this purpose in the HSS registry entries. Then, there will be an internal logic that will work on what server should take what process.

• WAIT % - % IDLE, what is the average for a virtual machine?

  I did some research on performance of VM problems and worked with the media to see that there is maybe a bottle neck IO that occur with a virtual VMware machine I have performance problems on. The technician found that the WAITING % - % IDLE on average for this virtual machine is around 200%. The tech said it was abnormally high. I forgot to ask her what was normal but wanted to put a post to see if some people out there know what they are on average. What is an average number of see? I have the system done nothing right now and I see 579% waiting and 372% IDLE. The technology has been able to confirm that no IO queue was occurring in the VMkernel or on the HBA controller.

  Some average % positions would be useful. Thank you.

  Supposibly the amount of time in a State of waiting for I/O is the WAIT - IDLE % difference. I was wondering if anyone had the numbers for this feeling. Is there anyone with some of them?

  Q: How will I know the VCPU world waiting for I/O events?

  A: WAIT - % IDLE % can give you an estimate on how much time processor is spent waiting for I/O events. It is an estimate only, because the world wait perhaps for other than the i/o resources. Note that we should do it only for the worlds of the WWW, not the other kind of worlds. Because the VMM worlds represent the best guest behavior. For the disk i/o, another alternative is to read the disk latency stats that we explain in the drive section.

  WAIT % by itself cannot be used, you must develop and examine the individual vCPU % EXPECTATION values and subtract their idle time.  You can't do it on the initial view of a single line by VM CPU in esxtop.  If technology that you mentioned did not explain it, he doesn't know what it takes.

  I have lots of virtual machines that are never less than 300% when I wait - % idle and I have no problems.

  It is an example, I caught NimSoft server:

  DHSNMS1 100 100 5 192.63 193,80 0.24 0.03 291,44 1.04

  %EST USED (s) 192 - in other words, almost two processors are used 100%

  The %Idle is 1.04% WAIT 291.44 - according to the calculation of waiting idle, I have a super serious problems of e/s past  But this isn't the case, and expanding, I can see that.

  5665 vmware-vmx 100 1 0.09 0.11 100.00 0.00 0.00 0.01

  5667 100 vmassistant.566 1 0.62 0.65 99,63 0.00 0.00 0.00

  5703 100 mks:DHSNMS1 1 0.01 0.01-100.00 0.00 0.00 0.00

  5704 vcpu 100 - 0:DHSNMS1 1 32,35 32.88 67,28 0.28 0.11 67,14

  5705 vcpu 100 - 1:DHSNMS1 1 31,58 32.05 68.11 0.00 67.85 0.12

  So the changed values unfortunately because of ESXTOP bike when you develop... which is annoying, but anyway.  In this you see % waiting is 67 and 68 with another respectively being 3 to 100% (which is normal) and the idle being %, 0, 0, 0, 67 and 67.8.  Doing the calculation on the processors shows a wait - slowed virtually 0 - or very little IO wait past with processors.  But if you add up all the expectations of % and % is idling, you have 434ish, and the 134ish and do the calculation is the difference of 300 - which is the 3 who are always 100%.

  So there is no way we can answer your question, we can only help you to understand how the values should be interpreted.

  Waiting for i/o States almost always go on the disc anyway, it is unlikely, therefore, the network or the user entered, looking at the stats of disc ESXTOP is a much better way to determine if there is a problem of e/s.

• Modify the script for multiple virtual machines

  I'm working on the powercli user to change the CPU and the memory of several virtual machines.

  I found the perfect scenario created: http://ict-freak.nl/2010/05/07/powercli-script-to-schedule-memory-and-or-vcpu-updowngrade/comment-page-1/#comment-20336

  But it's only for 1 VM.

  Can someone tell me to change so do several virtual machines.  A text file would be ideal, but I'm ready for anything as this point, nothing I try does not work.

  Thank you.

  You could do

  foreach ($vm in Get-VM-name (Get-Content:\Powercli_scripts\servers.txt))

  I don't know why it's poweroffs randomly.

  You can add the - WhatIf parameter on this line, like that it will only say what he does, without actually running the cmdlet.

• How to reinstall the OS on a virtual machine in the virtual machine Linux drive?

  Hello

  I have problems reinstall OS in a VM Linux (on the Linux host).  I change the CD/DVD (IDE) to connect to an ISO file, save and then play the virtual machine.  I tired send "Ctrl + Alt + Delete", running after stopping, etc., but it will not re - install the new ISO standard (each time it's booting of the operating system already installed).  How can I force the VM to re - install a new ISO standard?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You can delay the start of the machine, press ESC at startup and choose to boot from the CD to the virtual machine. You can also change the boot order in the Bios to automatically boot from the CD first.

  Take a look at the following kb for details on how to change the way the virtual machine starts.

  Good luck!

• How to configure the switch for JMS bridge

  Hello
  
  I tried with the selector option when working with several bridges, here is the scenario that I applied.
  
  Created five queues ( Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, and Q5 ) and configured JMS bridge Destinations with each queue with the factory of unique connections ( CF1, CF2, CF3, CF4, and CF5 ) and baptized as D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5.
  Then created JMS JB2 bridges with D1 source and destination as D2. Similarly the JB3 as D1-D3, as D1-D4 JB4 and JB5 as D1-D5.
  And sector for each of the JB2 JB3 and JB4 JB5 as two, three, four and five respectively and reboot after the changes.
  
  Now I expect the following scenario to work
  By pushing the message to Q1/CF1 with two in the content of the message, so wait for the message to be delivered to Q2/CF2 through JB2, but messages is not moved by JB2.
  Similarly, message pushed to Q1/CF1 having three in the content of the message, so waiting for the message to be delivered to Q3/CF3 by JB3, but messages is not moved through JB3. Similar behavior for other messages with four and five in the content of the message.
  
  In the bridge configuration, selected QOS as "Atmost" - once.
  
  Note: all configurations were conducted in the same field and the WL version is 10.3.6.0 *
  
  The example message I am pushing to Q1/CF1 say 'two Test Data'* and expect to reach the queue Q2/CF2

  JMS selectors work normally om jms headers and not on the message.

  In my previous post, I see that WebLogic provides an extension "SELECTOR xpath" in this area, although I recommend using standard selectors when possible. See my previous post for more information on the syntax of the selector, etc.. The best resource on selectors is the javadoc for javax.jms.Message (http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/5/api/javax/jms/Message.html).

• How to install the software on a virtual machine?

  Hi, I'm new to the virtual machines.  I have a physical server running windows 7 pro 32 bit, and I set up a virtual machine running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit only.  I created so I can run MS Exchange Server 64.  I have a .iso for Exchange Server file, but I can't figure how to get it in the virtual machine.  Please explain or direct me to a good tutorial, thank you.

  In this case, either use the "shared folders" feature or share the folder on the host computer with files and map it as a network drive in the comments.

  Another option - although that do not know if it works in VMware Server - is to drag & drop the files from the host to the virtual computer.

• Configure the Infiniband interface on virtual machine

  Hi all

  I installed the driver Mellanox Infiniband on ESXi 4.0 U1.

  Now, I want to create a virtual machine using the Infiniband interface.

  I added the networking hardware (VM IB Network) in configuration-> hardware-> networking.

  I then added new VM IB network on a virtual machine network adapter. Should what type of adapter I use in this case? VMXNET 2 (improved) or VMXNET 3

  This procedure is correct?

  Kind regards

  Bibo

  You host does not support the pass through.

  This is unrelated to Mellanox drivers.

  Please check vSphere help pass-through requirement.

• How to get the name of my virtual machine to a named resource pool

  Based on the script ghettoVCBg2 on the platform VIMA, I realized a backup solution for my ESXi (free) servers (also an automatic mailing is integrated ). My next goal is to integrate an automatic selection of my computer virtual based on the name of the list of resources. To understand, I have mainly two categories '1_Productive' and '2_Test', from resource pools. In both categories, there is a resource pool 'SRV' and 'CLT '.

  for example: 1_Productive-SRV-VM

  ------CLT-VM

  At the time of the backup, I have to manually enter the name of the virtual machine in a file. My question is how to integrate an automatic selection for example my pool of resources "SRV." My first idea was to shoot the 'vidiscover.pl' tool and run it for each server separately. Subsequently I merge files into a single file for ghettoVCBg2. You should know I want only to mit backup s excluded '1_Productive\SRV' VM '2_TEST\SRV '. But the name in double "SRV" can be replaced. A really great solution could be a direct integration in ghettoVCBg2

  Could someone help because I'am not very firm with perl programming...

  Thank you very much.

  Take a look at this review of the script: listVMsInResourcePool.pl

• Unalterable RCLI in U4, how do the backup for my virtual machine

  Hi, in the update of this week, my esxi U4 servers build 153875, but now have a problem, my script php to backup virtual machines do not work, orders rcli is unable to connect to the esxi Server

  Search error:

  root@backuplinux script# /usr/lib/vmware-viperl/apps/vm/vminfo.pl--serveur virtual7

  Enter the user name: root

  Enter the password:

  I've been using vmware community version 1.04 and I put a password in the bios to one of the virtual machine running, now I have to reset the password blank because I lost the password

  Just delete the file .nvram.

  Be aware that this will restore all THE virtual BIOS settings to default values.
