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

Younes

Hello.

You can use the free RVTools - tab Vsante will identify possible Zombie VMs.

Good luck!

    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.

  • How to identify the virtual copies (in my records) that have already been deleted a collection

    Hello!

    I keep looking for an answer to this anywhere on the web and 3 books, but can't find the answer...

    How to identify the virtual copies (in my records) that have already been deleted a collection?

    Here's the workflow, and where I'm stuck.

    1. I chose a picture and put it in a collection.

    2. I did a whole bunch of virtual photos in the collection copies that I tried different modifications.

    3. after and during a lot of changes, I have a lot of virtual copies removed from my collection because I decided against the changes after doing some comparisons.

    4. when I went the folders to select my next picture to work away and so to add to the collection, I discovered that each of my virtual copies was in the original folder, even if I had deleted from my collection.

    5. I really don't want these virtual copies deleted to be in my home folder.  They were virtual copies of trial and error and I wanted them to really just be thrown out.

    6. how to identify these virtual copies removed-from-the-collection in my folder?  File names all look the same, and besides, I want to be absolutely certain that I have selected the right ones.  Some of the changes were very minor and would be difficult to see without laboriously go through them one by one.

    Thank you very much!!

    Anne

    No easy answer on fixing the mess other than an individual inspection of the virtual copy can't watching the Images/Edit history to determine which ones that you no longer need.

    But to help prevent the problem in the future: when you are working from a collection, you must use ALT + return back to remove a copy of Photo or virtual catalog. With just the key DELETE or BACKSPACE only deletes the photo from the collection.

  • How to move the virtual machine from one cluster to another cluster

    How to move the virtual machine from one cluster to another cluster

    If two Clusters are in the same data center, you could do a 'live' migration or vMotion, if that's the case.   If the virtual machine is turned off, it may be migrated regardless of the data center.

  • 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.

  • 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 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 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.
