• How to determine the size the virtual machine using the VI SDK files

  VirtualMachineFileLayout a lot of files like snapshots, configuration files, log files. I have not found any object determine the size of them, but the VI Client GUI shows the sizes of them.

  Is there a VI SDK objects that provide the size of every file?

  Thank you

  The virtual machine, you can find warehouses of data associated with (ownership of the data store). Each data store, you can find the HostDatastoreBrowser corresponding (the property browser). HostDatastoreBrowser object, you can call SearchDatastore_Task() or SearchDatastoreSubFolders_Task.

  When you call one of the methods, a task object is returned. To the success of the task, check the property info.result of the task, the object of HostDatastoreBrowserSearchResults actual result is there. Discover the FileInfo objects - they include sizes and lately of the modified files.

  Good luck.

• 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 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.

• 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.

• Virtual MACHINE using GHS restore CD

  I'm new to VMware and I'm trying to implement a virtual machine using XP Home.  I created the virtual machine and I am trying to use the restaurant 3 CD to install the operating system.  The first CD works fine, but the second can not open the file .ghs.  When I try to open the .ghs file it shows same not she, but a .gho file is there, but does not work.

  Any suggestions?   I need to convert a .iso?  If so, how?

  Thank you.

  Theoretically, you can't use restore CD to configure a new virtual machine, because they are technically linked to the computer to which they belong.

  Because the virtual hardware for a virtual machine is completely different with the material belonging to the restore CD, I don't expect that it will work well. For the case, it works well, you could face activation problems, due to the completely different (virtual) hardware.

  You might need a copy of XP retail to do a clean install of XP.

• Syntax to create a new virtual machine using vCLI

  I use few of ESX 3.5 servers and a server vCenter 2.5 in my lab. I installed vCLI in vCenter server. I would like to know the command to create a new virtual machine through the vCLI. Use of the below details to provide the syntax / command.

  • Name of VM - windows2003
  • CPU - 2
  • Memory - 2096 MB
  • Name of ESX - esxserver1
  • Storage - disk 30 GB C and 40 GB D drive (these two must be placed in a storage centralized. i.e., data store name is - "filer1.lun123"

  Expecting more details.

  Thank you

  VCLI orders are mainly used for configurations of the host, although as part of the installation of vCLI, you get also vSphere SDK for utilities Perl - http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/viperl41/doc/vsperl_util_index.html that provide additional canned scripts, which allows you to create a single set of virtual machines using the vmcreate.pl script. There is an example on how to use a script

• deploy multiple virtual machines using vmdk and SID file

  Hello

  Need to know if I am correct or miss me something... I deploy many virtual machines using method.

  1. remove the vmdk files a XP.

  2. create new folders and copy the vmdk into this folder.

  3. create virtual machines using existing vmdk files.

  4 rename the computer and join it to the domain.

  My question is, my VMDK files are an existing xp VM (no longer exist), what is the status of the deployed virtual machines? they still have the same SID or it is changed? I managed to join to the domain, but do not want surprises in the future.

  Note:

  I had another option, could have all these automated with new SID using PowerCLi, unfortunately, osCustomization has default, I can't event run the get-OsCustomization command, it keeps failing.

  Thank you.

  Yes, Windows writes the SID on disk (virtual disk for virtual machines) or physical disk for physical machines.  The guest operating system has no idea on the vmx file.

• Physical disk how can I add in the Virtual Machine?

  I am trying to set up a network of storage, but I discovered it is there is a limitation for the addition of physical hard disks in the virtual machine.

  I have 1 virtual hard disk for the operating system (SCSI), an invited so I try to add more than 4 disks, but it should not add more than 3. They showed that (IIRC).

  I try to add 4 x 1 TB as physical hard disk in virtual machine hard disks, but it says that I must remove one to add.

  1. in the settings of the Virtual Machine, is there a difference between (SCSI) (IDE) and why are the physical disks (IDE)?

  2. What is the limitation of total hard drives under the VM settings, four?

  Johwwy

  physical disks can be detected such as IDE or SCSI - depends on the drivers used by the host

  SATA in ide-compat mode is used as IDE

  SATA AHCI mode is detected as SCSI

  It is possible to rewrite the descriptions after their creation.

  It is a little advanced - see my notes

  http://sanbarrow.com/VMDK-basics.html#changeadapter

  for a start, it may be necessary to also change the geometry... ask first so uncertain.

  I think the limit of physical disks that can be attached to a virtual machine is 64 = 4 x 15 - scsi and IDE 4-disc drives

• ESXi 5.5u1 - serial number physical host in virtual machine

  I was happy to see in 5.5 update 1 release notes that it should be possible to switch the serial number of the host through a virtual machine hardware.

  • Allow virtual machines to display the serial number of the physical host
    Virtual machines cannot reflect the physical hosts ESXi serial numbers.
    • This issue is fixed in this version.

  Does anyone know how to enable this for a new or existing virtual computer?

  I had problems in the past with Apple Push Notification Services expects a Mac serial number. I hope that I can now spend series a Mac Pro to the host through a virtual machine.

  Someone at - it experience or knowledge to implement this? Thank you!

  Hi DJLambertand welcome to the VMware communities!

  If you want a prompt of OS X to use the serial number of the host, you will need to add this option to the virtual machine configuration:

  serialNumber.reflectHost = 'TRUE '.

  or, if you want a prompt of OS X to use the model of host hardware ID (learn "MacPro5, 1"), ID (i.e. "Mac-12345678" ") and the serial number all all aboard:

  smbios.reflectHost = 'TRUE '.

  will take care of all three.  Note that there is no way to understand or control what happens if you have multiple virtual machines with the same serial number and using this external serial number as an identifier.

  Let us know if you have problems with these options!  I'm not sure whether they will solve the problem you face, but... For example, there are more problems iMessage running in a virtual machine...

  See you soon,.
