• Get the list of virtual machines on an ESX host specific and dumping of .csv in a specific format

  I have problems to find a way to get a list of virtual machines on an ESX host specific and then he dumped to a .csv in the following format

  I use the get-vmhost esxhostname | Get - vm

  but everyhting else after, it is where I am lost...  I think the closest I had been posting the output with a goofy header and format 'vm1, vm2, vm3 "...

  name

  computer 1 name

  computer 2 name

  name of the machine 3

  to use for later use.  Any help would be appreciated.

  You must use the Select-Object cmdlet to specify more precisely the properties you want.

  The Export-Csv doesn't know how to manage the virtual computer object.

  Something like that

  Get-vmhost esxhostname | Get - vm | Select name. Export Csv.\report.csv - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture

• List of virtual machines on an ESX host

  Is there a method in the sdk that lists all the virtual machines on an esx host?

  Simply get a reference to a HostSystem and it has an array property called vm http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.HostSystem.html that gives you a reference to a matrix to all virtual machines on this particular host.

  Here is a sample Perl script that shows how to retrieve all the virtual machines for a specific host and certain attributes of the VM: getAllVMGuestHostname.pl

• error when importing the VM to another esx host.

  Hello

  When I try to import the virtual machine from one esx host to another through VC converter. It gives me error to fix. Any help will be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Tanav

  Tanav,

  This error comes when Assistant failed to get the value of vmx import file. You can create a new virtual machine it and attach the existing drive and then try again to import the virtual machine.

  If you have shared storage on the connected server, you can simply vmotion between hosts. No need to import the virtual machine from one host to another.

• ESX as a virtual machine on an ESX host

  Currently, I am installing ESX as a virtual machine on an ESX host. I have a couple of hosts potentially put this VM: two 4.0 in the course of execution, one running 4.1. I would like to run this VM on the host running 4.1, and the virtual machine must run 4.0. Thanks to my documentation and research of compatibility, I found that it is not supported as an operating system to run in a virtual machine under ESX ESX, but it's for the workstation and fusion. I read on some blogs that ESX install as a virtual machine on an ESX host is possible (at least on older versions), but comes with a few problems, which have no workaround. I found (external) positions regarding do all this with the 4.0, but my preference would be to do with 4.1 on the host and 4.0 on the virtual computer. I can't find something to do with 4.1, which is not surprising given that the upgrade became available less than two weeks ago. Does anyone tried it yet? Is there anything, you have found or recommend as I approach to do this? (I read that the virtual computer must be configured as a computer virtual running RHEL 5 with 2 GB of RAM http://when all this is done with version 4.0, but I was not able to find much more.) Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions!

  Hello

  Yes, I tried last week and it worked for me. You are on the right track, we must select RHEL 5 64-bit as OS and assign the 2 GB of ram, and in addition to sound, you will need to use E1000 NICs for the installation to complete.

  FYI, this configuration is not taken in charge/tested/certified by VMware.

  Hope this information helps

  Hello

  Can you be more explicit? Are you talking about an Action or another kind of Automator?

  For stocks, in general:

  1. open the Actions tab.

  2. each of your custom action belongs to a set. Move to the top of the list until you find the whole. It will be a 'folder' icon and an arrow pointing down, showing that it is open. The default set is labeled 'Actions by default'. Click the folder to select it.

  3. at the top of the actions palette, there is a small arrow. Click it to display a menu of options. Choose "Save Actions" and save the file to your desktop. Call it something meaningful.

  Now, copy the file to another computer. Place it in a folder related to Photoshop, such as Presets > Photoshop Actions folder.

  1. click on the small arrow in the actions palette, and then choose "Load Actions". Choose the file that you saved earlier. It will be added as a new value to your palette of Actions and should be available every time.

  Note: If you have copied to certain actions you don't want with your expensive custom you can simply remove these overall once you have loaded on your other computer.

• VCloud in virtual machines cannot communicate if they are in another ESX host

  Hi all

  Currently I do a simulation for VCD in my laboratory of the company. I just discovered a few question in this simulation. Hope anyone can advice on that. Thank you.

  Senario:

  1. create an external network with 400 VLANS in vsphere Distribution Switch in two ESX server.

  2. create a VCD organization.

  3 create a pool of network supported by network isolation VLAN 300

  4 create an external organization routed network connection-NAT and select Network (VLAN 400) external and network pool (VCDNI vlan 300)

  5. create two virtual machines and assign the same network of the external organization that was created in step 4.

  6. If two virtual machines on the same host, they can communication or ping to each other.

  7. If two virtual machines in different hosts, they cannot communicate.

  Why step 6 and step 7 will happen? What I have set up wrong? Please advice on this.

  Much appreciated for your help.

  Thank you.

  Concerning

  Ho

  the physical switch must be configured for vlan 400 and 300,

  vcni network tries to encapsulate the traffic on the 300 VLAN, if it is not configured on the physical switch virtual machines will be able to talk if they are on the same host.

  correct its help is not a network back pvlan Isolation needs its own vlan you set to 300, which she in turn can then run 1000 + mac in the mac encapsulated networks in vlan 300,

  Configure the ports on the switch to accept any vlan 300 institutions and it will be sweet

• How to add a new virtual machine to the ESX host using the existing files?

  I need to implement a function clone without the use of cloneVM_task. I copied (a special copy) a set existing VM Directory Active Directory to a new directory and renamed copied all files prefix name of the new direcotry.  What task VM (reconfigVM_task, createVM_task or registerVM_task) command can I use to add that the new copied VM on the ESX host? I need to manually update the .vmx for new UUID file and other parameters?

  Thanks for any help.

  I think that as long as you have updated all the names to reflect the new clone you must be fine and on the first step, you will be prompted with a question.

• How to copy a schema in another

  I need to copy a schema in another. This means that all tables, views, constraints, etc. and all of the data as well.
  I have a dmp source-schema file (created by day with expdp by our backup schedule).
  
  Can I use impdp to import this dmp file to dest-schema? I am thinking something like this:
  
  The dmp file was created with:
  expdp DIRECTORY source-schema/pwd = dmpdir DUMPFILE = myproject.dmp
  
  Create the copy on the dest scheme with:
  Impdp DIRECTORY dest-schema/pwd = dmpdir DUMPFILE = myproject.dmp
  
  (dest-diagram is a diagram on the same computer. I'll delete all tables before running the command. Is there anything else I need to do first?)
  
  If this approach is not possible, please suggest me an alternative.
  
  Thank you.
  
  Edited by: mgro on April 16, 2010 03:22 (changed 2nd order: expdp with the impdp)

  If the schema name is different you must use the option of remapping scheme in impdp

• Cannot ping between virtual servers on the same host

  I have a 5 ESXi host with 3 virtual copies of Windows Server 2008R2 running on them. The ESXi host is connected to my switch, which has the Windows 2008 R2 DC to my test network and my laptop management with VSphere branch above as well. I can ping host, mobile and ad server of each of the individual virtual servers and can ping and RDP for all 3 from other devices not on that host, but I cannot communicate between the three. I have Windows Firewall disabled on all three. I have no firewall, and all machines have an IP address in the 10.0.0.X range I deleted then recreated the only virtual switch on the host on which appear all 3. I've been VERY frustrated for the last 3 days on it. Why my virtual machine cannot talk to each other?

  When you have registered virtual machines in ESX you selected moved VM or Coiped VM? Go to editing parameters and watch the MAC addresses. My guess is that if you copied power (including the vmx files) then the MAC address is the same for all virtual machines. You can stop the machine and change for a MAC address mac address. You can also remove the network adapters, one of each, and then add the new network cards. Remember to reconfigure the IP addresses on the box and remove the ghost network maps after doing this.

  Check this KB to change the mac address.

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=507

  Also, can you connect to the switch and look at the ARP table and see if the system VMs register here.

• Best method to move vCenter VM to another ESX host?

  Update Manager has refused to allow us to stage an update for our ESX host our vCenter VM running on. So we have to move the other host our vCenter ESX just update this ESX host. But as we use vSphere Standard that does not come with vMotion and storage vMotion, we must stop vCenter and make a manual transfer.

  Did you guys a better method to do that in order to copy files from local storage ESX VM vCenter to the PC running the VI Client on and then copy the file vCenter VM from the PC to the local storage of the other local ESX storage? Because we do not have a usable for the moment SAN storage.

  BTW, we tried Storage vMotion with the year evaluation license last to move vCenter and it failed.

  We use mainly use the converter for the conversion or 'movement' of VMs from one region to the other because it is a GUI based process.  We have quite a few movements/conversions per week, so we have standardized on the converter.  If we have problems with converter (several failures, etc.) we will perform a dorsal scp of the actual VM files.  I agree that this method is faster, but in our case, we did not want to open the console for jobs like that, it seemed a more dangerous process from the console (deleting files etc...).  We used the converter to convert physical movement to virtual, virtual virtual clone, convert virtual from one version to another (workstation to esx for example).  I also like that the sysprep process can be automated in the process, but also some virtual machine configurations.  If we say PCS had a virtual machine to another location and we created a clone in the new location, we would have to scp, starting the virtual machine and then treat the sysprep (Windows) and rename, configuring ip etc...

• Two vCenters and mobile from one to another ESX host

  I have an existing vSphere environment where all virtual machines on the local drive. This environment is managed by a physical vCenter Server.

  I've built a WHOLE new environment with three hosts and each has 4 Sockets, 6 hearts with 128 GB of each host. I also created a new vCenter Server and it is a virtual machine. All are connected to the iSCSI SAN.

  I know that the ESX hosts can be managed by a vCenter server at a time. Now, I want to add old esx hosts that have virtual machines on a local drive to the new environment that is connected to a shared storage. When I try to add a host on the new vcenter server, I get a message saying that the host is already managed by the old server vcenter and if I add it to the news that it disconnects. Which is the best way to do it, or should I disconnect hosts from the old server vcenter first?

  Also how I will move the virtual machines on the local disk to the San. I have company over 4.1.

  Thank you!

  I unplug and remove the host from the old environment and then add the host in the new.  This will allow your guests to continue to operate.  Once you have hosts in the new environment, you can use sVMotion (right click to migrate, move the datastore) to move your guests to a shared storage.

• All virtual machines on my ESX host off power at the same time

  Hi all

  Recently I attend the interview. a guy asked me this question

  < police = "Times New Roman, serif" >all virtual machines on my power off ESX at the same time host < / police >< / police >?

  What was the cause of the highest of the error, how to troubleshoot the error.please me.anybody guide to address this problem?

  Thanks

  Surya

  If all the virtual machines if lower at the same time, my bet would be VMware HA. Just for fun, build it inside your head:

  (1) 8 ESX nodes, all service consoles connected to a unique management switch.

  (2) now to create a cluster of these nodes, put all your virtual machines in there and activate HA, choose ' host isolation response: power off.

  (3) draw power from your management switch. HA on each host will deduct that the host is isolated-> turn off all the virtual machines.

  Each host will think the same thing, and hop find you with all virtual machines down to the time in the whole of the cluster. Have seen this one several times when people go and upgrade their management switches in the evening ("hey, it's only management").

• Get the list of virtual machines on an ESX host specific AND of a specific folder...

  I'm trying to get a list of the virtual machines running on an ESX host specific, but also are located in a specific folder.

  I think it must be something like that below, but for now without success:

  Get-vmhost $esx_hostname | Get-vm-location (get-record $folder_name( )
  giving the error message: Get - VM: the input object cannot be bound to all the settings for the command EIThim because
  the command does not pipeline or entry and its own input stakeholders do not match any parameters that accept entries of pipeline of.
  Any thoughts?
  Thank you!
  Eric

  VMHost and folder use the Get-VM-setting position. You must select either using the Where-Object cmdlet filter. For example:

  Get-VMHost $esx_hostname |
  Get-VM |
  Where-Object {$_.Folder.Name -eq $folder_name}
  

• How to find VCenter which manages the ESX host

  Hi all

  Is it possible to query ESX host using API to determine if it is autonomous or managed host and if it's a managed - what VCenter (name, IP address) actually runs it. I know it's easy to VCenter query to find all the hosts its handles, but I need to go the other way.

  Thank you

  Yes, you can query for the http://vijava.sourceforge.net/vSphereAPIDoc/ver5/ReferenceGuide/vim.host.Summary.html managementServerIp if defined, then it is managed by a server vCenter Server, this is the only information on the vCenter Server and assuming you have DNS, you can get the FULL of the IP domain name
