• How to create a new virtual machine with two warehouses of data through new-vm?

  Hi guys,.

  Can you please help or direct me to the right format? I'm new with vsphere powercli.

  How to create a virtual machine with two other data store by using the new-vm?

  $datastore1 = get-datastore. WHERE-object {$_.} Name - eq "lun1"}

  $datastore2 = get-datastore. WHERE-object {$_.} Name - eq "lun2"}

  new-vm-name vmtest01 - VMHost ESXserver - datastore $datastore1 diskmb - 8192 $datastore2 diskmb - 8192 - memorymb 4096 - numcpu 2 - ID winNetStandardGuest

  I got this error when I run vsphere powercli. I appreciate if you can help. Thank you

  The New-VM cmdlet takes a single value of the parameter - data store and all of the virtual disks will be located on this data store.

  If I understand your request, you create a virtual machine with 2 virtual disks, each on a different data store.

  You can use the cmdlet New - hard drive for it.

  $datastore1 = get-datastore | where-object {$_.Name -eq "lun1"}
  $datastore2 = get-datastore | where-object {$_.Name -eq "lun2"}
  
  $vm = new-vm -name vmtest01 -VMHost ESXserver -datastore $datastore1 -diskmb 8192 -memorymb 4096 -numcpu 2 -GuestId winNetStandardGuest
  new-harddisk -vm $vm -datastore $datastore2 CapacityKB (8192 * 1KB)

• How to create the new virtual machine vm existing in the data store on ESXI

  I have ESXi and couple of virtual machines.

  I have the vsphere client on Windows 7.

  I then deploy the ovf from the vsphere client vm and it began to import my VM 30 GB.

  In the morning, I realized my vm with a vmdk file file has been transferred in the data store

  But I couldn't see any virtual computer.

  Now I don't know how to turn on this vmdk file that is in my data store

  It's a very bad habit of yours to just copy and paste content created by someone else, without even mentioning the source (http://www.mustbegeek.com/create-copy-of-existing-virtual-machine-in-esxi-server/)

• 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.

• You can create a new virtual machine snapshot from another machine?

  Hi all!  I was wondering - is it possible to create a new virtual machine with an existing snapshot of a running virtual machine?  Or should I essentially clone the machine to a new virtual machine and then go back to the snapshot I want?

  I use ESX Server 3.5 with a Lefthand SAN - and was curious to know if there may be either a separate utility, I can run or if the VI Client contains all the tools I would need?

  Thank you all for your time!

  Good question, I know you can do this with VMware Workstation:

  1 VM > overview > Snapshot Manager

  2. Select the snapshot > Clone

  However, for VMware ESX, I think you should use vmkfstools to the service console.

  Basically, you have already created a snapshot and just need to copy the vmdk files, create a new virtual machine and attach an existing drive. I think that's what you're looking for: cloning a Virtual Machine running using the Console Service

• How to specify the file of virtual hard disk when you create a new virtual machine using virtual hard disk on the data store?

  I'm new to PowerCLI and find quite simple, but in the documentation I read, I don't see how to use a virtual hard drive, existing on a data store when you create a new virtual machine.

  Is this simple registration on the virtual hard disk, or did I miss something?

  My current create VM is the following statement:

  New-VM

  -Name $TargetHostName -host $TargetVMCenterHost -data store $TargetVMCenterDatastore DiskMB - 20000 -MemoryMB $TargetHostMemoryMB -NumCPU $TargetHostCPUs -ID $TargetHostOS -CD -Description $TargetHostName

  Didn't notice this before, but I think that vSphere will use a backslash instead of a slash in the paths.

• How to build a new virtual machine based on cluster with powercli?

  When you create a new virtual machine on cluster in the user interface, you cannot select the host, it is decided by the cluster.

  Now, I want to create a new vm on cluster by powerCli. I have not found any parameter to specify the cluster.

  Only the "$vmhost" to specify the host.

  Why are they so different?

  Can someone help me understand it and how to create a new VM on cluster?

  Thank you in advance!

  Hello, bob1118-

  While, as you said, it has non - Cluster parameter to the cmdlet New - VM, you _can_ effectively specify the cluster at new time of creation of VM via PowerCLI: you specify the list of resources within the desired cluster.  So a partial New - VM call would look like:

  New-VM -Name myNewVM0 -ResourcePool (Get-Cluster myDestinationCluster | Get-ResourcePool -Name "Resources") -Template ...
  

  Who uses the resource pool default "Resources" that exists in a cluster.  And, you could fill in the rest of the parameters relevant to the new virtual machine of your desires.  How do I?

• Create the new virtual machine using Java API vCloud

  Hi guys,.

  I am trying to create the new virtual machine in TIME, but I've stuck here. The API I'm using is vcloud-java-sdk - 1.0.jar.

  Could you please show me a code snippet how to do this?

  For now I do it like this:

  RecomposeVAppParamsType recomposeVAppParamsType = new RecomposeVAppParamsType();

  List the items < CompositionItemParamType > = recomposeVAppParamsType.getItem ();
  ReferenceType vappTemplateVMRef = new ReferenceType();

  // ??? seems that new reference to the new virtual machine should be here. But how to create this VM
  CompositionItemParamType compositionItemParamType = new CompositionItemParamType();
  compositionItemParamType.setSource (vappTemplateVMRef);

  Items.Add (compositionItemParamType);
  ReferenceType vAppRef is Vdc.getVdcByReference (vcloudClient, vdcRef) .getVappRefByName ("vApp_Websrv");.

  Vapp.getVappByReference (vcloudClient, vAppRef) .recomposeVapp (recomposeVAppParamsType);

  One day before I played with Web Services SDK, which is much easier to understand. I was able to create the vApp and VMs in vSphere. Is it possible to import machines virtual vSphere to vCloud? Should what API I use for this?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You cannot add a new empty virtual machine in a paralytic.

  Instead, you can add a virtual machine from an existing vapp, vapptemplate.

  To import a vsphere vm to vcloud.

  Import vsphere vm as VAPP in vcloud. VMWVimserver-> importVmAsVApp()

  The importation of vsphere vm, as vAppTemplate, in vcloud. VMWVimserver-> importVmAsVAppTemplate()

  See also the example of ImportVmAsvAppTemplate.java, which is part of the vcloudjavasdk group.

  Kind regards

  • 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.

  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

  Please help me...

  Hello and welcome to the HP support community!

  You want to organize your icons in folders, or put a shortcut of data on your home page folder?

  The first is easy, this last not so much.

  Just hold your finger on an icon, and then drag it on another similar icon.  A "folder" will be done with the name "unnamed file".  Press and hold the words to change the name of the folder.

  I'm not aware of a way to file a record of data on the homepage...

  Create a new folder

  Folders are a convenient way to store and organize files on your computer. For example, you probably want to create folders in the Documents and images to help you manage your files. You can create an unlimited number of folders and even store folders inside other folders. Folders located inside other folders are often called subfolders.

  1. Navigate to the location (the desktop or a folder) where you want to create a new folder.

  2. Right click on an empty space on the desktop or in the folder window, point to new and then click folder.

  3. Type a name for the new folder and press ENTER.
