How to get count of vDisks in use by a virtual machine?
Hello
I'm poking around CB looking for a measurememt of how many virtual disks are in use by a virtual machine. I notice that the collector of data store is set to always run (- 1). I could get this information by counting the number from VM_FILE vmdk files? It seems that VC datastore entities map to the entity of the hierarchy on the side of CB, or at least they do not in my instance chargeback.
Thank you
Bill
Hi Bill,
Synchronization of data store sync job up to the sight of the vCenter Server data store. Synchronization job of storage which runs every 30 minutes by default, gets the VMDK files for a virtual machine.
CB_VM_FILE is the list of files in a virtual machine. Table CB_VM_FILE_INFO gives details of each file with timestamps. You can use these tables to get the list of files used by a virtual machine at any given time.
Kind regards
Agnes

Report to the size of the list of snapshots that are used by a virtual machine
I'm looking for to add to my report to the size of all the snapshots that are currently used by each virtual machine. For example, I'm already reporting on space put into service and used space - but how much space are using snapshots? Is there a way to get this data using powerCLI?
Thank you!
Get-Cluster-name NOMCLUSTER | Get - VM | Select
Name, MemoryMB NumCpu, Description, PowerState, ProvisionedSpaceGB, UsedSpaceGB, Version, VMHost, ResourcePool,
@{N = "HDsizeKB"; E={($_. Hard drives | Measure-Object-CapacityKB property-sum). Sum}} folder,.
@{N = "Datastore"; E={($_ | Get - Datastore). Name}},@{N="#snapshots '; E={($_ | Get - Snapshot). County}},
@{N = 'Name of the OS'; E={$_. Guest.OSFullName}} | Export-Csv "C:\report.csv" - NoTypeInformation
The cmdlet Get-SNapshot in PowerCLI 4.1 returns an incorrect value. See the size snapshot by Dimitar and Vitali.
And they display a script, called getsnapshotsize - 1.ps1 that returns the correct value.
You can use this script to your script as follows:
(1) download the script and save it in the directory where your other scripts
(2) call the script of the post in your script and use the size of return value
Something like that
Get-Cluster -Name clustername | Get-VM | select Name,MemoryMB,NumCpu,Description,PowerState,ProvisionedSpaceGB, UsedSpaceGB,Version,VMHost,ResourcePool, @{N="HDsizeKB";E={($_.Harddisks | Measure-Object -Property CapacityKB -Sum).Sum}},Folder, @{N="Datastore";E={($_ | Get-Datastore).Name}},@{N="#Snapshots";E={($_ | Get-Snapshot).Count}}, @{N="OS Name";E={$_.Guest.OSFullName}}, @{N="Snapshot size MB";E={(.\getsnapshotsize-1.ps1 $_ | Measure-Object -Property SizeMB -Sum).Sum}} |` Export-Csv "C:\report.csv" -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

Alarms / opinion on the use of the virtual machine JAVA Perm Gen
Hi team,
I need to configure alarms / Notification each time that the use of the virtual machine JAVA Perm Gen is greater than a threshold value. I don't see all the default rules / corresponding to Perm Gen registry variables.
Could you please enlighten us in how I can achieve... ?
A screenshot is attached for your reference.
Kind regards
Arun
I tested it after the previous message which was released indicating that you have an error, the nice thing about Foglight is that it allows to see the measures that exist (as you noted the names are a bit different in this case as the example of the JVM) and it also gives you a test button to validate the expression) , don't forget to make sure that she only appliese to the things that have names like Perm if you want it calculated only for generations of perm.
Can you please define this thread as answered.
Thank you

Copy of the virtual disk for use by another virtual machine
Hi all! How can I copy a virtual disk file to a location for future use by another virtual machine? I tried to just copy the hard, but it did not work for me - the copy is about 1 KB size and I can not add it as a hard drive on another virtual machine. Can someone help me?
OK, so this client web vSphere that you use, in this case browse datastore doesn't show you the two files.
Please follow the steps below
Please go to Cluster & host inventory
Select your ESXi host
go to the tab 'Manage'-> settings-> Security-> Service Profile, and then click the button CHANGE
Start the SSH service.
If please use WinSCP to connect to your Esxi host and navigate to the folder of the virtual machine as in the screenshot to the suite, I navigated to a folder that is my VM name: Win10A
and it has a virtual disk, if I want to take the virtual disk of this virtual machine to a different VM, I need to copy the two files that are highlighted.
the two are to train your virtual disk.
Download these two files and download them to another folder where you second VM resides, then try to tie it with this virtual machine.

One of the disks of rhe in this virtual machine is already in use by a virtual machine or a snapshot
Hi all.
An apologize for my bad English.
I have 10 VmWare installed on Linux Centos 5.
I worked with the Windows 7 virtual machine and hang on it.
Now when I try to run this VM, I get this message:
"One of rhe in this virtual machine disk is already used by a virtual machine or a snapshot.
I try to fix it in this way:
mkdir ./clone vmware-vdiskmanager -r "Windows 7 x64-000008.vmdk" -t 0 "Windows 7 x64.vmdk" mkdir /backup mv *.* ./backup/ cp ./backup/*vmx ./ cp ./backup/*vmxf ./
But after that, I got the error: "cannot change the power state of VM: can't open ' / * /Windows 7 x 64 - 000008.vmdk.»» The system cannot find the specified file.
Please, help me to solve the problem.
Once again apologize for my English :)
I really don't see what could be causing the problem, except that there are some .lck files in the subdirectory "lock"!
Anyway, if worry ends snapshots and the current state is what you need, you can follow these steps (which are close to what you have already done) to merge snapshots of virtual disk in and use this virtual disk to the virtual machine:
- Close VMware Workstation
- Create a new subdirectory and move the VM files and folders to backup purposes
- "" since this subdirectory run: vmware-vdiskmanager-r "Windows 7 x 64 - 000008.vmdk" t 1 '... / X64.vmdk of Windows 7 '
- Copy the .vmx file to the parent directory and edit it as follows:
scsi0:0.fileName = "Windows 7 x 64 - 000008.vmdk" --> scsi0:0.fileName = "Windows 7 x64.vmdk"
Now you should be able to start the virtual machine with the cloned virtual disk.

Hello
I was wondering if it is possible to transfer everything to a virtual hard disk that is smaller on a virtual hard disk that is larger in VMWare Workstation, using the same virtual machine? In the affirmative, please could someone advise me on how to do it. Also utility management and disk transfer can be used in virtual machines to do this?
Thank you very much
Tim Auluck
I'm not sure what exactly you are asking. Can you please clarify!
Basically you can resize a virtual drive or add a second virtual disk to a virtual machine and transfer/copy files. You can also resize the virtual disk using VMware Converter for example.

How everyone counts the total amount of GHz for virtual machines on a host-cluster?
Hello
I want to do some basic sizing and I may\may do not go the way to write about it. For example, suppose I have a cluster of 4 nodes with a total of 200GHz and 1 TB of RAM on all four hosts with 100 VM. How can I get the total amount of GHz\Memory that each virtual machine is configured with (not necessaryly to aid real-time) so that I can workout or demonstrate what fits on one or two hosts in the cluster, for example?
Thanks for your help and advice in advance
You can do this via the inventory tool called RVTOOL which allow you to do an inventory of all your virtual machines and hosts with the resource assigned and served. hope, it will help you.

How to add a physical DVD to be used with a virtual machine?
Add Virtual Machine Hardware Settings > hard drive > use a physical disk (for advanced users)
He is not present to do the same for the addition of a CD/DVD drive. Is it possible to do this to CD/DVD using the .vmx file or another way!
Hello
Hmm... I see that you are the person who has earlier posted on attempts to seek support for trying to create a virtual machine that is able to recover from broken CD/DVD.
I'm sorry, but personally I don't think that virtual machines are the best match for this.
If you want physical access to a CD/DVD drive then you can try to use an external USB CD/DVD drive and that connect directly to the virtual machine, but I don't think that you can configure a Raw Device Mapping (RDM) for a CD/DVD drive. I could be wrong on that though.

How to reset the administrator password in my Windows XP Virtual Machine
I just created a Windows XP virtual machine and have been using it without any problem. Today, I started the machine and he asked an administrator password. I believe that I have not set up one that I've never been asked before.
How can I reset my password or I have to rebuild a new machine?
Can I use a password reset utility?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Kind regards
Doug U - M
If an empty password does not work then you probably have to rebuild the virtual machine. This time, I recommend adopt you the practice of setting up a second admin account immediately and make a note of the password. It's the same when you buy a new car: you get at least two sets of keys.

How im can extract the value of the persistence of virtual machine disk?
Dear friends
How im can extract the value of the value of the persistence of disks of virtual machines?
IM using the bellows of the order, I have a if to check if the disks are independent or not
but im only want values of the persistence of the column to use in my script
Get-disk hard - vm machine01
CapacityGB persistence Filename
---------- ----------- --------
10 000 persistent [LUN2] RJ7469SR039/RJ7469SR039.vmdk
8 000 persistent [rate2] RJ7469SR039/RJ7469SR039_1.vmdk
Thank you
Almir
In your example, you just use Select-Object
Get-disk hard - vm machine01 | Select the Parent, persistence
The parent is the name of the virtual machine
