• How to move a virtual machine in the warehouses of data on ESXi 4.1.0

  All,

  I need to move a virtual machine from a data store to another on the same host.  I have two drive bays where each array disk is its data store on.  However, one of them has problems if I want to move two of the virtual machine to a data to another store.

  Is it possible through vsphere and if so, how?

• How to identify unregistered virtual machines

  Hello

  I have an esx environment 4 about 80 guest all running vpshere 4.0. This is a technical environment and many users have rights to create and delete virtual machines and the problem is many of them do not remove the machine virtual completely and just remove it from the inventory. Now my problem is unused these virtual machines are simply hogging one my storage capacity and can someone here pls tell me if there is only one way of publications unregistered VMs at the level of the data store so that I can simply delete these records?

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

• How users share a virtual machine with the level of access under total control?

  Hello

  In our Lab Manager environment, we have created workspaces and users can create and share virtual machines in these workspaces. The problem is the level of access only I can see when users share virtual machines is read-only. How can users share their machines with other users with the full control access level?

  Thank you.

  It is a constraint of security designed to prevent the full control permission, being too easy accidentally to give everyone in a system.

  The answer depends on whether you have PF3 or LM4.

  Behavior of PF3: share to everyone in an org is read-only, while sharing a physical person should give you full read/write/control

  LM4 behavior: share in all the world in an org, individuals selected in an org or anyone in a different workspace == read-only, while in the same workspace gives you the opportunity.

  That said, total control: the ability to deploy/undeploy it or change the settings of the virtual machine, NOT if the specified user has write access the console.  The distinction is quite important.

  Also, page followed, but he had the wrong information, there may be an arbitrary number of connections of the competing console to the same VM (oh, I'm sure that there is a limit, but I did not deliberately try to find).  It does give the impression that several people are faced with the same mouse and keyboard...

• How to open a virtual machine in the browser?

  Hello

  IAM using vmware ws 6.5 I have a some vm on it, I want to know how to open them in the browser like mozilla and work as we do on the virtual machines I want on my local

  private subnet

  Thank you

  The answer is the same.  VMware server can be managed via a web browser, but virtual machine does not work inside of a browser, they can only be managed and controlled through a browser.

• How to migrate a virtual machine from the server with DAS to another server

  Hi guys,.

  questions. 'More' essential Kit. VMotion is available

  I have 2 physical servers, two of them have DAS (not SAN Central). SO I want to migrate a virtual machine on server A to server B. is it possible in this situation?

  Or should I have versions of more expensive VMWare do?

  Thank you

  You can use clone. I would close first to the bottom of the virtual machine, but a VM slowed would be very nice clone. You can also use the VMware conveter. VMware converter can make a hot clone, including synchronization of last-minute changes, stop the source machine and put under tension the clone.

• How to clone a virtual machine with the drive?

  Hello

  Previously, I used VMware Workstation and has a mastery of "clone". Now I use the reader and I would like to clone my current VM and there is no special orders. Simply copy the directory would probably not there a lot of information such as DNS name, etc. that are likely to be changed. Is it possible to clone a virtual machine with player or do I Workstation?

  Many thanks in advance,

  Nicolas

  In my computer a full clone is nothing more then is not a copy that was made unique in the process and the players of VMware capacity but there is nothing stopping you from manually making a copy and then manually by making the changes to make it unique.

• How to make a virtual machine using the full screen?

  I have a 19 '' screen.  In the web page of vm manager when I click on 'console' to get a separate window and maximize that I get a full screen, but the virtual machine does not fill my monitor as the native operating system.

  I am losing valuable real estate.

  Is there a way to fill the screen as the native operating system?  I tried to play with just about anything.  The virtual machine is in a small box, is full from top to bottom but a few inches on each side is black.

  If anyone knows it would be very useful.

  Guest operating system do you use? As said more top vmware tools must be installed for the proper functioning of MKS. Done also by pressing CTRLALTENTER your virtual machine puts your virtual machine mode full screen to use all your "real estate"?

• How to access my virtual machines to the internet

  Hi all

  IAM running VMW 6.05 I 10 vm running inside my host is xp professional and I don't want to make RDP for this host because who will sign him out because that simply allow 1 rdp connection

  I need to access my two Linux Vms from the internet but don't know how preinstalled Vmware network is configured in Bridge mode they get internt via dsl on the host pc connection and its dsl mode is configured for PPPOE mode

  Thank you for your kind suggestion and solutions

  Thank you for your support

  The instructions are router very specific, so your mileage may vary.

  On my linksys router, I connect to the management interface, go to the Applications and Gaming tab to configure your port forwarding.

  There are a few choice integrated but you can go on the empty area and create your own.

  There, type in ssh_vm1, select the external port (it is the port you will use to connect to internet) and then inside port (SSH, it is 22), then IP address internal and check active.

  Do the same for the ssh_vm2, and you should be good to go.

  Now, you will need to find your external IP address as well to connect to the Web address that was assigned by your ISP.  You can reach a site, like ipchecking.com, and your address is in the right hand corner.

• Identify underutilized Virtual Machines Foglight

  Hello

  Could someone guide me how to identify underutilized Virtual Machines with Foglight, so if I assigned 4 CPU, but it is used only 2 CPU or 16 GB of memory, but only with the help of 12 GB. This could perhaps be done in VMware cartridge.

• Identify the process of the virtual machine in the Service Console

  Maybe it's a little challenging, but I need to "hang" a VM intentionally for purposes of Compliance\Qualification.  I'm trying to understand the best way to do this and my colleague suggested to connect to the service console, identify the process virtual machine running and terminate, so suspend the virtual machine.  The problem is, I'm not sure how to proceed.  Could someone point me to the light?

  Thank you very much.

  Steve

  You must know the name of the vmx file (usually it is the first name of the virtual machine).

  Then, connect SSH (or console) to your ESX and run the following command

  PS auxfww | grep 'VMXname '.

  At this point, you can locate the correct PID of the virtual machine. The first number to appear in the output is your PID.

  The PID can be used to complete the process by issuing the command kill-9 PID.

• How to get the host name of the physical computer inside a virtual machine until the user logs in Windows?

  I don't know if this is the right place to post this question, I develop software to support VMWare PCoIP and need to know how to get the host name of the physical machine (which manages the virtual machine and View Client) within a virtual machine before the user logs in Windows of the virtual machine.

  I understand there are two ways to read the host name, via the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment registry and environment variables, but they are available once the user is connected. I need info before the user connects.

  Is there a VMware API that can be called or asked the host name?

  Thank you.

  Not on the broker, but there are the startup scripts to log on to the computer virtual itself: http://pubs.vmware.com/view-52/topic/com.vmware.view.integration.doc/view_integration_startsession_script.9.2.html

  Note that these executed when a virtual desktop computer allocated connection, not to the point that the client connects - it is possible for the customer to not complete the connection (crash, cancel, network failure) and so any what solution you design must handle this.

• A virtual machine or the template with the same name is already registered. Server error: the specified key name or identifier already exists.

  Hi all

  I have a 5.5 esxi server just the a virtual machine running at the moment. I try to clone this as shown below:

  http://nchrissos.WordPress.com/2013/04/22/cloning-a-VM-without-vCenter-in-ESXi-5-1-free-edition/

  However, I get the error:

  A virtual machine or the template with the same name is already registered. Server error: the specified key name or identifier already exists.

  I have no vcenter (yet), and it's just the 1 vm. The virtual machine is turned off. I get this error regardless of the name, I said that when I choose "add to the inventory.

  All advice appreciated.

  Thank you

  Oh dear...
  you read bad advice on the internet and then you get also the stupid advice here.

  Ignore both!

  If you want to clone a virtual machine by copying - do it like this:

  Create new virtual machine with the wizard.
  Skip creating a disk for new customers.

  In Datastorebrowser copy the original vmdk to the new dir, which has been created by the wizard.
  Reopen the new VM and edit - assign the vmdk that you just copied.

  The procedure of the blog is not supposed to work.
  Sissine trick doesn't make sense either

• How to move a virtual machine from one virtual switch to the other since the SDK / command line?

  How to move a virtual machine from one virtual switch to the other since the SDK / command line?

  Joshua Smith

  Are you referring to the evolution of the virtual machines network portgroup of one to the other and in your case potentially issue on to another vSwitch? If so, take a look at this script: updateVMPortgroup.pl everything you do really makes a call to ReconfigVM_Task() and passing in a specification change and put to day the network in which you want to change

• How to disable auto-start for the virtual machine at the start of merger?

  Hi all

  I use Fusion 2.0.4 to run different OSs and have 4 different virtual machines that are installed. But whenever I start the merger, regardless of the previous state when I stopped him, he starts a specific virtual machine. How to avoid this? I want to start just merge and then choose which machine to start.

  TIA.

  Hello

  Welcome to the VMware Forums!

  In the virtual machine library, there is a star in the list of your virtual machines that you can click and she acts as a toggle to start the virtual machine on the opening of Fusion.

  It is somewhat a weird UI design choice, don't know me either until someone reminded last week.
