HOW TO HAVE VCB VIRTUAL MACHINE THAT WILL BE COMMON LUN FCSAN
HAI
ANY ADVICE ME PLEASE?
I WANT TO CREATE A VM FOR VCB AND RESIDENT ON THE COMMON LUN VM IN FCSAN? :| .
Thank you
VCMS
In fact, using VCB 1.5 / ESX3.5 / VC 2.5 supports VCB running within a virtual machine. You can use iSCSI, NBD or Hot - Add mode.

How to use a virtual machine that requires more physical memory that I have?
A colleague send me a Linux VM, he built on a machine with much more physical memory 4 GB I have in my Macbook Air. When I started the virtual machine in Fusion, he said that the more physical memory virtual machine that I had and suggested that this would reduce the memory for the virtual machine to 3 GB. I said OK and the machine started. I did a lot of work in this virtual machine. I suspended the VM because I needed to recover a portion of memory that he used for another application.
When I try to start the virtual machine now, it says that it requires 4 GB of memory and that I should quit some applications or restart to free the memory required. I tried both without success.
Why the parameter / 3GB was not recorded when I suspended the VM?
Given that I can't change the memory required for the virtual machine until it is properly closed and since then I can't stop the virtual machine without unsuspending it, I suspect that the VM is toast.
Is it possible to recover the virtual machine?
With VMware Fusion closed, you can remove the file from .vmss to
to reset the VM to a shutdown state. Note that whatever it is not recorded when he was suspended will be lost. -
I have a virtual machine that is resident on two data warehouses, and I need to move
Okay, I'm trying to reconfigure the storage on a cluster of ESXi to software development, and I fell on a virtual machine that is resident on two data warehouses. Somehow, the user has configured this thing to have most of the VM files on the data store 5 while all the vmdk but the residence on the data store 1 boot drive. He probably did it because of the size of the old warehouses of data and the many VMs older than his colleagues left sitting. Well, now I just reconfigure data warehouses so that there is more usable space, but I can't move this machine a virtual so that I can reconfigure the rest of storage. (For reference, the old warehouses of data have been implemented in 4 sets of three disks in RAID 3 and a set of four disks in RAID 3 with two drives hot spare.) For the record: not my idea. I am reconfiguring them now to be a set of 15 drives in RAID 6, divided into two LUNS on both controllers, with a hot spare.)
Well, now I need to figure out how to get this VM is spent at one of new data stores. The data migration store feature does not work. Any recommendations?
Hi Dangingerich,
You can move the VMDK individually with the advanced functionality of storage vMotion allows you to ask the data disk on your new storage space and then have the OS disk track.
YouTube Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhdmdcMmvas
Screenshots
When you svMotioning click on the Advanced button
Here you can select the individual VMDK and move.

How to remove a virtual machine that has lost the storage
Hello
I want to remove the drive a virtual machine that has lost its storage. This storage kept OS files and so on. The problem is that because it is lost I can't access most options since they are grey (eg. delete disk). I can't get out of the inventory, but I want to remove it completely. It is impossible to recover the storage that was missing. What is a way to remove it?
Thanks adavance
It's because everything else for the virtual machine has been wrapped in storage.

Move a virtual machine that has a raw lun mapped to SAN
Dear all,
I need expert advice for this case. I have a virtual machine on a host with esxi 4.0, but due to many machines same virtual host we are experiencing memory problems and have decided to move this virtual machine to another host with less VM and less use of resources.
I plan 1 HR time to perform this task, this virtual machine have two drives one windows partition and the second 20 GB as mapped lun on SAN. So when you move it to another host, what I'll do is tap to stop the virtual machine, go to another host and storage switch to VM folder and add the VM.vmx file to add it to the inventory of the new host. What about the case of raw LUN mapped, how to take care of it.
Please advise, it is little urgent.
Thank you
I guess there is no vCenter at stake here and you have no option for vMotion? The RDM, I would like to stop the virtual machine, detach the RDM LUN, migrating the virtual machine and re - attach the RDM. As long as the two hosts can see SAN/RDM, you should be good with that.

Attached is the log, I grep was content to vmware.log for info on this virtual machine.

VM-support of execution - x lists world of all VMs. ID pick up the ID of the world of the virtual machine in a suspended state.
Run vm-support - X < WID > answer 'y' to the questions that follow, he will take a while to complete dump logs and finally kill the virtual machine.
You will be able to turn on the virtual computer.

How to start a virtual machine that stop by its self
Hi im pertty new to virtualization and so far I'm really likeing it. I just have a problem which is probly related material and I have about 15 virtual machines running on my home server and once from time to time one or more just stops. whenever I try to understand why there is nothing in the papers or anything I was woundering if there is a way for esx to detect when off or virtual machines and turn them back on. any help in this would be great thank you.

VShield Configuration Manager 4.1 (and how to protect a virtual machine?)
I have 2 ESXi hosts currently configured in vCenter 4.1. Before vShield installation Manager, he had 3 vSwitches present on each server; a regular and two distributed.
vSwitch0 - connected to vmnic0 - has management and production of network 1 10.168.90.x
VLAN 10.1 - VMFN connected to vmnic1 on each host - connects to the private physical network 10.1.x.x
VLAN 10.2 - VMFN connected to vmnic2 on each host - connects to the private physical network 10.2.x.x
After you install vShield Manager in a new virtual machine and then to deploy vShield Zones to each ESXi host, develops a new vSwitch
vmservice-vswitch - again group of ports in Virtual Machine vmservice-vshield-pg - not connected to any physical cards
VMS individual vShield-FW created for each host have connected network cards as below
Production network normal 1 - VM Network adapter (attached to vSwitch 0).
Production network normal 2 - VM Network adapter (attached to vSwitch 0).
Adapter 3 - vmservice-vshield-pg network
I tried to connect my VMs to the network vmservice-vshield-pg in order
to protect them and place them behiind the firewall. However, who has
seem to work, and my VM has lost network connectivity.
How to protect a virtual machine that needs to connect to the normal production
Network (on vSwitch0)? Is there any configuration steps I'm missing?
What happens if I want to connect a virtual machine or one of its network cards to one of the 10.1.xx
or 10.2.x.x networks rather than the normal 10.168.90.x network? What
additional steps should I make? The new 4.1 documentation is not
helped at all, and it seems that the old vShield Zones 1.0 docs are not
applies to all.
There is no need to change the virtual computer is connected to the network.
Just activate/install vShield zones on your hosts and add rules to the vSwitch or data center.
The virtual machine will be becomes protected if no error is displayed.

How to start a virtual machine without vmx file
Hello, I have a virtual machine that I want to start up using 10.0.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit workstation but I don't have multiple vmdk files and a file on me vmxf and apparently, that's all that is in the software. How do I run something like that?
Hello
You cannot start a virtual machine without a vmx file.
If you do not have a vmx file - fly a.
For example this one:
-----------------------------------. Encoding = "windows-1252".
config.version = '8 '.
virtualHW.version = '8 '.
scsi0. Present = 'TRUE '.
scsi0.virtualDev = "free".
memsize = "2048".
scsi0:0. Present = 'false '.
scsi0:0. FileName = "set-path-to-bootdisk-and-then-set-.present-to-true-to-activate".
ethernet0. Present = 'TRUE '.
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000".
displayName = "minimal-vm.
guestOS = "windows7-64.
virtualHW.productCompatibility = "hosted".
------------------------------------
That cuts into a file and store it as a *.vmx.
Then launch the new VM with
VMware /path-to-vmx/name.vmx or
vmplayer /path-to-vmx/name.vmx
Other users may also recommend to simply launch the user interface and follow the file > New menu...
and then order the new virtual machine to the card by selecting your existing virtual disks. -
Storage DRS, move a virtual machine that is in the data store is not a member of DTS
Dear all,
If I've set up storage DRS that contains, for example, DS1 and DS2. I have another virtual machine that resides on DS that is not part of the cluster of DTS. Can I move this virtual machine to one of the (DS1, DS2) data store? OR will some disruptions?
Thank you
Jocelyn,
Which is correct in both cases. You can leave DTS place it for you (which is my suggestion), but I thought you wanted it to go to a specific data store. That being said you can reactivate the DTS for a virtual machine under the SDR change settings if you do not ever clear for a virtual machine

How to access the virtual machines to different physical network?
Hello
I'm new to ESXi, can someone tell me how can I access virtual machines on the physical network existing in case I use different IP classes? Physics of the network by using the class C IPs and I assigned IPs to virtual machines of class A? If it is possible, then, what are the steps?
In fact, I installed exchange 2010 VMs and also want to access the email accounts of physical network.
Thank you.
vmjunki wrote:
You mean there's no way in ESXi to configure the way so we can access the virtual machines to physical network? without third-party applications.
Because it is impossible for the various networks IP connect without a router, you must have such a device. There is really no difference in that in a pure virtual or physical environment.
You might think the ESXi host as a box with one or more servers (virtual) inside and one or more layer (virtual) two switches, just like a small server room. This means you will need to provide the same type of connectivity that you would have to a new server room with machines configured with addresses in a different IP network range.

VMware 6.5.5 cannot import the virtual machine that uses 2GB "disks of split.
Hello
I'm using VMware Workstation 6.5.5 under Win XP. I tried to import a virtual machine that was created by using the option 'Split' virtual disks into files of 2 GB. The import fails and presents a pop-up: ' Conversion Assistant/cannot determine the guest operating system. The log file includes the line "could not find the disk cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk. This file does not exist of course, there are more files cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s001.vmdk, cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s002.vmdk and so on. The machine virtual original (cofortcol3v01) has been created under VMware Workstation 5.1, and it does not under Workstation 6.5.5.
Is this a known problem in the conversion utility? Is there a work around for this problem?
Thank you.
-Phil Anzel
FYI... VMware Workstation peut import a Virtual Machine that uses twoGbMaxExtentSparse discs.
The log file includes the line "could not find the disk cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk. This file does not exist of course, rather there are files cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s001.vmdk, cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s002.vmdk and so on. The machine virtual original (cofortcol3v01) has been created under VMware Workstation 5.1, and it does not under Workstation 6.5.5.
Is this a known problem in the conversion utility? Is there a work around for this problem?
The problem is that you're missing the "disk DescriptorFile", "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk" and which is why it's a failure and not a limitation of the Conversion utility.
Also if you actually had a Virtual Machine created in VMware Workstation 5.1 you can simply run directly under VMware Workstation 6.5.5 without having to run the import command.
Anyway, if you have a backup that you can recover the file "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk" then you should be fine and if you have not then a new can be created. If you can archive (compress) files vmware*.log (usually 4 of them) in a single zip file archive and tied him to a post in response, then one of us will create a new file "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk", based on the information contained in files vmware.log for you, if you don't know how to do it yourself.

How to install the virtual machine tools
I am new to this, and it's fun to find how to do everything. I'm stuck now, so need some help, I did search but could not find definitive answers.
I have ESXi installation, it will run on a dedicated slide. I have a windows-based virtual machine that I use to test.
I downloaded the iso of VM Tools for Linux to install on the server so that I can push to the client virtual machines. I can't understand how to install the VM on the server tools so that I have the option in the console to push to turn the VM to the client tools.
Is there something I'm completely missing? The iso is for linux, which is the server. I assumed it would be installed on the server that would allow me to push to windows clients.
Help, please!
VMware tools for Windows is already included in the installation of ESX.
Customer Infrastructure using, go to the console of the virtual Windows computer and logon. Right-click of the virtual machine in the inventory on the left, then select "install/upgrade VMware tools. If Autorun is enabled the installation starts automatically, if not the Windows.iso is loaded into the virtual computer CD-ROM drive and you have to run setup.exe.
