• How many virtual machines on a single HBA?

  Hi all

  I understand a VI3 environment for a client, but I doubt if HBA will be a bottle neck for the performance of the virtual machine. I would like to know how much minimum I should recommend? Two enough a primary and another for failover? can you tell us the load balancer for HBA? I read that we can have several number of VMs communicate via a single HBA, however, there will be performance problems? Can anyone share their experiences and their recommendations?

  Thank you

  Rahul

  I've not seen HBA as a bottleneck, especially with the 4 GB HBAs now commonly available.

  I only dual port HBA in our blade servers and servers of U 1, I ran 2 x single port HBA.

  Main SAN issues, I've had have been a doubtful avalanche Transceiver and a motherboard fault on a Server Blade.

  Otehrwise HBAs themselves were enough sound that's why I am not too concerned about the unique dual-port HBA's on the blade.

  A lot of the design is subject to redundancy and how much risk / single points of failure, you are willing to tolerate.

• How do I know how many virtual machines can be added to a host or a cluster?

  I downloaded the vKernel VoP VAPP and see on the environment page that explore the ability on the right box shows "you have room on 1 cluster to place up to 23 virtual machines.

  That means's the maximum VMs or this number indicates can accommodate 23 VMs?

  23 IT´s VMs additional based on average use of your existing virtual machines.

• Find out how many virtual machines you create a month

  I've been messing around with this script which was published on the vSphere PowerCLI blog but I can't do what I want it. I try to get the output to an html Web page results. Here is the code of the blog:

  Function Get-VMCreationReport {}

  Get - VM | {Group

  If ($_.) CustomFields-as -not $null) {}

  "{0:Y}" -f $_. CustomFields

  } else {}

  'Unknown'}}

  }

  I modified it as follows:

  #I have location set because I'm only pulling the VM to a specific host in a folder.

  $VMs = @(get-VM-emplacement "TEST")

  "$html = @".

  
  
  "@
  
  $html = ""test ' "

  $VMs | {Group

  if($_.) CustomFields-as -no $null)

  {$html = « {0:Y} » -f $_. CustomFields}

  else {}

  $html = 'Unknown'}

  }

  $html = "< / HTML >".

  $html > Test_run.html

  The problem is that the output is not posting on the html page. I can see when debug that code runs through the if loop to the right. Any ideas?

  SELECT is in fact an alias for Select-Object.

  Allways try (in this case to select)

  Get-Alias Select
  

  When you run a cmdlet you do not recognize.

  The dismantled line:

  -) of each object, select the following

  (-) the Name property. After a group object, the Name property contains the grouping field, in this case the date

  (-) A hash literal to calculate the following property. In this case, the number of elements in the array of the group, which is the number of guests

  (-) all resulting objects to the Select-Object are placed in the pipeline and converted by the ConvertTo-Html cmdlet to HTML

  -) add the result (the ConvertTo-Html cmdlet output) the existing contents of the variable $html

• Need a Script out how many virtual machines have snapshot

  Hi people,

  I'm looking for a script to get out how VMs in a VC have snapshot with Cluster information in CSV format. If possible snapshot size too

  Thank you

  vmguy

  Try something like this

  $report = foreach($vm in Get-VM){
      Get-Snapshot -VM $vm |
      Select @{N="Cluster";E={(Get-Cluster -VM $vm).Name}},
              @{N="VM";E={$vm.Name}},

• Create a great metric for virtual machines that shows how many virtual machines on the host parent

  One of the properties of a virtual computer's Parent host.  I would like to pass this info on to a metric Super VM and use to gather the number of VMS are on the associated VM host Parent.   This SM would be so associated with my VMs.

  Is this possible?

  -MattG

  I found this:

  AVG (${adaptertype = VMWARE, objecttype = HostSystem, attribute is summary | total_number_vms, depth =-1})

  Because I had to use a host object type I don't think he would show as a metric of Super in the scope of the VM... it does!

• How many virtual machines can be run using the bridge at the same time?

  I'm on Win 7 and XP both in Bridge mode. every time the two machines lights I lose the entire network including the host NIC connection. Once I have change the VM to NAT connection I can resume normal activity. Mode bridge on 2 or more VMs is not a supported configuration? Can someone please clarify? I'd appreciate the help.

  Thank you

  The default value for switch ports is often the "Desktop" mode, which limits access to the only 2 (port security) MAC addresses. If you need more the port need to be configured as a port of "access".

• How many virtual servers by host machine?

  Hello

  Another question, is there a method to determine how many virtual machines that I can host on one computer? Many people seem to ask this question, but I'm yet to find one another answer that wave "between 10 and 20 virtual machines" or "up to 50 vms' if I know what are my physical features and I know what operating systems and applications I don't want run on virtual servers, is there a way to calculate whether my hardware will be able to host virtual machines?

• How the Virtual Machine port group communication?

  How the Virtual Machine port group communication?

  Port group is virtual aggregation of ports on vSwitch. A vSwitch can have multiple Port groups which separate the different network traffic. Port groups communicate with vSwitch, and we have physical network maps on vSwitch which establish communication with the external network. We can configure security, NIC teaming, traffic shapping nework political and at the level of the port groups. Once the port group is created, we can assign to vNIC

  How to establish communication?

  Public network > Switch L3 Core > ESXi physical adapter > vSwitch > groups > virtual NIC > Virtual Machine

  Virtual machine connect to the physical map using vNIC coming on Port groups. This is how it works.

• report for multiple virtual machines created

  I have a virtual machine creation script that I modified in order to be able to run in a loop using a CSV file to create more than one virtual machine at once. My original script send me an e-mail message for example:

  VM	IPaddress	CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT	Memory	ToolsVer	ToolStatus	Data store	Folder	ESXiHost
  MyVM	123.45.67.89	3	4096

  8384

  toolsOk

  myDS

  My-file
  

  myesxhost
  

  The problem that I want to try to figure out how can I get ALL the VM's on an e-mail report. Right now, because it's a loop, each VM I create will send a report. So if I put it up to build 4 vm, it will send 4 emails... I don't like it.

  How my script works pretty well...

  {foreach ($var in $vmlist)

  $report.add ($reportedvm) | out-null
  

  }

  
  If ($HTML - eq 'Yes') {}
  $output += '< p > '.

• U4 Will ESXi 3.5 see a virtual machine created with u3

  I have added a second hard drive for my newly built u4 ESXi 3.5 installation. The player has virtual machines created in u3. U4 sees the datastore2 drive and the files inside. Still don't recognize them as virtual computer. How to see the virtual machine on the second HD u4?

• Virtual MACHINE created on date export csv - get - vm testvm works but says testvm get-vmcreationdate is not found.

  Hello

  I entered the following two functions in my shell powercli

  Two functions I have installed

  function {Get-VMEvents < #. . Logbook Get events for an entity or query all events. . Description This function returns the events for the entities. It is very similar to cmdlet Get-vievent. Please note that get-VMEvent can handle 1 vm at a time. You can't send picture of vms in this version of the script. . Example of Get-VMEvents 0All-types "VmCreatedEvent", "VmDeployedEvent", "VmClonedEvent". He will receive all events of type "VmCreatedEvent", "VmDeployedEvent" 'VmClonedEvent '. . Example of Get-VMEvents-name 'vm1' - type 'VmCreatedEvent '. Will be out of the events of creation of virtual machine: "vm1. It's faster than the vms piping is of result of Get - vm. There is no need to use get - vm to move names to get-vmevents. Yet, it is OK when you do, it will be just a little more slow < span class = "wp-smiley wp-emoji wp-emoji-blink of eye" title = ';') > ;) </span > . Example of Get-VMEvents-name 'vm1' - category 'WARNING '. Will be out all events for vm: 'vm1. It is is faster than the names of piping of cmdlet Get - vm. Category will get-vmevent to search only the defined category events. . Example of Get - vm "vm1 | Get-VMEvents-types "VmCreatedEvent", "VmMacAssignedEvent". Shows events for vm1 which will be regarding the events of creation,. and events when when / what mac address is assigned . VM parameter This setting is a unique string that represents the name of the vm. He expects this single vm name There in the virtual Center. Now in the first version of the script, it will only load a case where there is 1 instance of vm selected name. In the future it will load multiple as Well. . Types of parameters If none is specified, it will return all the events. If specified will return Only the events with selected types. For example: "VmCreatedEvent." "VmDeployedEvent", "VmMacAssignedEvent" "VmClonedEvent", etc... . Category of a parameter Possible categories are: warning, info, error. Please use this setting if you you want to filter events. . Setting all the If you need to set this parameter, so command queries all events Center Virtual Server virtual machines. . Notes NAME: VMEvents

  . Logbook

  Gets if possible virtual machine created.

  . Description

  This function will return the object with information about the creation time, method, of months,.

  creator of particular virtual machine.

  VMname: SomeVM12

  Createduserid: 10/08/2012 11:48:18

  CreatedMonth: August

  CreationMethod: cloned

  Creator: office\greg

  This function displays NoEvent property in case when your VC do not

  more information on these specific events, or your vm events no longer have

  entries for the subject being created. If your VC data base has more tension date it is no longer possible

  you find this event.

  . Example of

  Get-VMCreationdate - VMnames 'my_vm1', 'My_otherVM '.

  This will return items that contain date information of creating virtual machines with names

  myvm1 and myvm2

  . Example of

  Get-VM-location 'Cluster1 | Get-VMCreationdate

  This will return items that contain information created for virtual machines that are

  Located in Cluster1

  . Example of

  Notice-EEG - viewtype virtualmachine - SearchRoot (get-datacenter "mydc") user.user | Get-VMCreationDate

  This will return items that contain information created for virtual machines that are

  located in the data center "mydc" container If you use this feature in an existing loop where you

  having the cmdlet get-view virtual machines, you can pass them via pipes or as a parameter VMnames.

  . Example of

  $report = get-cluster "cl-01' | Get-VMCreationdate

  $report | Export-csv c:\myreport.csv

  Stores all reported creationtimes object in the array $report variable and export the report to a csv file.

  You can also filter the report before you write in the csv file using select

  $report | Where-Object {$_.} {CreatedMonth - eq "October"} | Select VMName, CreatedMonth

  So that you see only the vms that have been created in October.

  . Example of

  Get-vmcreationdate - VMnames "my_vm1", testvm55

  WARNING: my_vm1 is not found, typo?

  VMname: testvm55

  Createduserid: 05/10/2012 14:24:03

  CreatedMonth: October

  CreationMethod: NewVM

  Creator: home\greg

  In case when you receive virtual machine that is not appropriate in the infrastructure of yor, a warning is displayed.

  You can always store the full text of the report in the $report variable, but it includes all the information on

  dates of creation of the missing vm. A warning always only for your information there is

  probably a typing mistake in the name of the virtual machine.

  . Parameter VMnames

  This parameter must contain objects of virtual machine or strings representing vm

  names. It is possible to supply this function wiith VM objects coming from get - vm or

  get - view.

  Receiving TestVM 4 4,000

  But if I do

  Get-vmcreationdate testvm

  he responds with

  WARNING: testvm is not found. misspelling?

  I can't understand why he says this?

  What will be the final objective to query the server vcenter set and export a CSV of the creation of each day VM - is their an easier way to do it?

  I was intending to use

  get - vm | Get-VMCreationDate | Export-Csv-path "d:\\reports\vmcreationinventory.csv ".

  But at the present time, each unique virtual machine is indicating "is not found."

  Attached is an example with a virtual machine called gbvls

  Although you may be better communicate with the author of these functions, from what I can tell, it seems to indicate that none of the specified events were found for these virtual machines.

  You can check if there are targeted with the cmdlet Get-VIEvent ordinary events.

  If you can see events, there could be a problem with the Get-VMEvents function.

  $vmName = 'testvm '.

  $tgtEvents = "VmBeingDeployedEvent", "VmRegisteredEvent", "VmClonedEvent", "VmBeingCreatedEvent".

  $vm = get-VM-name $vmName

  Get-VIEvent-body $vm - MaxSamples ([int]: MaxValue) |

• A virtual machine created in ESX 4 can be converted to run an ESX 3.5 Server?

  The subject says it all.  Our main office has created a virtual machine on their ESX 4 server running.  They want us to use the same but we are running ESX 3.5.  We have no time to upgrade our server to 4 again.  We get an error when we try to start by saying this is not not compatible because it was created with a version with more features.

  If a virtual machine created in ESX 4 can be converted to run an ESX 3.5 server using converter?

  most important:

  change

  virtualHW.version = '7' to '4 '.

  in the vmx file

  then change

  ddb.virtualHWVersion = '7' to '4 '.

  in the vmdk file

  the other changes are optional - for example, you need to remove the lines that start with pciBridge and all the lines making reference to... .pciSlotNumber

  also take care of not to use more then 6 PCIdevices in 4 virtual material - i.e. the sum interface cards scsi controllers + network + video cannot be greater then 6

  If you have a time that is very simple and much much much faster then converter - post an example if you want

• limitation of Workstation 8 on how many virtual computers running at the same time

  I just got a new job with the 4th generation i7 3.7, the Rams of 64 gb, ssd and hard drives 2.

  Each running windows xp, I do about 90 VMS with 512 MB.

  When I try to turn on 65th VM, it tells me that I can not power on any virtual machine.

  can someone tell me what to do to fuel every 90 VMs or up to 100VMs? I don't know that I have enough RAM for it. or is there a limitation on the cpu as well?

  Thank you

  As I said, as far as I understand, this is a LIMITATION OF THE RESOURCES available on the HOST OPERATING SYSTEM.  All hosted software respects the API and the limits of the host OS.  Your best bet is to go bare metal and install ESXi on this equipment, you will get noticeably better performance anyway.
