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/)

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)

Could not start the new virtual machine or VM remove a data store
Hi guys,.
I'm not new with ESXi, but my knowledge with vCenter and Clustering must be improved, so here's my problem.
We have a Cluster of 2 ESXi 4.1 hosts on a San with 2 VMFS.
My first problem is when I created a new virtual machine and try to start it, I got an error message similar to the one included with this post.
My Second problem is more picky. Since I am unable to start my new virtual machine, I had removed from drive and I had created a new. But when I took a peek in the data store where was deleted VM, the directory with all the files are still there. When I try to delete it, I got an error message telling me that it is impossible to proceed.
Q please?
Best regards
Stéphane
82% of failure can be other issues. The article below
http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1006052
Also, I saw, where bad records DB for your ESXi hosts can cause weird problems as well. The host with the problematic guest, can you do a right click on it and "disconnect"? Try to get out of the bunch at the data center level. If you get an error vCenter, that means return folder DB. From there, while the host is in a disconnected state, remove the host to vCenter, then "add host". This will update the DB record. Maybe worth it?

How to create a new virtual machime of an existing file

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.

create a new virtual machine with the default settings?
I was wondering if there was a way to create a new virtual machine with the default settings.
For example, let's say I want all new Lion VM to have 2 CPU cores. Is there a way to set this automatically? There are other parameters I want a new machine to inherit automatically, I was wondering if there is an automatic way to do this, or is it a feature request...
Thanks in advance

Just for my clarification, when you say a vm model, basically I would execute a finder copy then drag back to the VM library, right?
Yes.
On the orders of spcirpting, it would be unix commands or are there specific vmware controls that make your job easier (in Applications/VMware\ Fusion/content or elsewhere)...
IIRC, VMware Fusion 3 and later versions has an AppleScript dictionary, but it is not yet officially supported and may not be able to do what you want so, basically, only Unix Shell scripts, that's what I was referring to. For an example, see my script attached to the following response: Re: vmware - script of the creation of the vm and the operating system installation process

I can't create a new virtual machine, for the error "invalid state" of vmware
Hi, I have an esx server with some production virtual machines vmware;
Yestarday I made a new VM, suse linux, froma cdrom; but the file system broke down, it has been altered, I don't know why,
and I had to cancel the machine using the "remove disc";
After that I could read "a system general error occurred" and when I click on create a new virtual machine (ctrl + n), I can't because the answer is "invalid state".
When I click on each virtual machine in 'events', I do not see the logs, I see this error "system general error occurred.
can someone help me? , should I restart the service mgmt-vmware? (init.d) on the host server?
Thanks in advance, best regards
Toscano Max
If you use Virtual Center, rebbot VC server and try again. If this does not work, you may have to restart the ESX host.

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?

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
Ganesh
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

VMware workstation, crashes when I try to create a new virtual machine
Hello
I never had this problem before, but I didn't create a new virtual machine in a very long time. Last time I created one was making Workstation 9 I think. Some time after the upgrade to Workstation 10 or 8.1 of Windows Update 1 it has started.
In 10 Workstation running on Windows 8.1, I select the file > new Virtual Machine dialog coming upwards and in a few seconds crashes of VMware workstation and closes.
So I checked the Windows event logs and find
Warning "VMware Workstation to function properly, must be reinstalled after the upgrade to Windows."
So, I upgraded from 10.0.2 to 10.0.3 and it uninstalled and reinstalled but I still get this warning.
Followed by an error

So I need help to track down what I am not sure what VMware paper to look to maybe see what is happening.
Thank you

Well, I found the problem.
I looked in the UNK file and found a few ISO files wrongs tracks.
I had mounted some ISO in the past and they have made the entry in this file of preferences such as "isoLocationMRUx".
I'd change the leter this ISO file player so they could not be found as input, once I corrected the paths I can now create a new virtual machine.
He is responsible for ion BONE the new virtual machine now.

Greetings,
I improved my esxi U1 5.0 to 5.1 and attempted to create a new virtual machine in hopes of using the new version of material 9.
Using the standard and Custom options I been unable to create a Version 9 hardware VM by default.
The only option I had was manually upgrade to version 9 once the virtual machine was created.
Any thought or is - this as planned? I need to reinstall from scratch, my host?
dhayashi
To create virtual machines with HW version 9, you can use the Web Client, rather than the windows based Client vSphere.

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

I see the barebone specification and seem that your controller is a 'soft' RAID
Take a look at the configuration of the SATA controller.
When your drive will be recognized as/dev/sdXX, then you can create your data store.

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.
