  How to connect sql database to esxi to save all data from the virtual machine

  Please provide steps

  In simple terms, you cannot connect ESXi to SQL. Connect a vCenter SQL (Windows only).

  If you want to save all the data that is contained in your virtual machines, I suggest a backup solution.

• How do I know if a virtual machine is a linked clone?

  Hello world

  I've been using VMware Workstation for awhile, and I was always wandering...

  Is there an easy way to know if a virtual machine is a clone related somehow? I couldn't find any option for this...

  Also, is there somewhere a tools that help in the management of virtual machines? As sizes VM display, sizes of disc, the button to open the folder of the VM on the host, etc.. ?

  Thanks for your help

  Is there an easy way to know if a virtual machine is a clone related somehow?

  For a related clone, you'll find a "CloneOf" line with the parent/master information in the GUI (the Virtual Machine details), and you can also see this entry in the file .vmsd of the virtual machine.

  As sizes VM display, sizes of disc, the button to open the folder of the VM on the host, etc.. ?

  for example Windows Exlorer

• How to locate a new virtual machine on a different hard disk

  VMware Fusion 3.1.1 (282344) Mac OS 10.6.4.

  I have a few virtual machines on my boot drive and am running out of space. I want to create a new Win 7 vm on a drive different but can't seem to figure out how to tell VMware to put there. I know I could create in the normal location on my boot drive and move it, but I didn't Go on the boot drive for this.

  How to create the new virtual machine on the new drive?

  Thx for advice,

  Ken

  As you walk through the Wizard New VM and you arrive at Cap sheet, you have two choices...

  One is to select the Customize settings button and the other is just click the Finish button.  Each choice made appear to save to: dialog box and you can pick any location you want.  Note that you may need to click the down arrow located right of save it under: text box to expand this worksheet to display all the options.  BTW, clicking on this button is the standard behavior of OS X and has nothing to do with the VMware Fusion in itself.

• Take a snapshot of a lun SAN: How do I disassemble the virtual machine?

  SAN is FC 9958E Hitachi, ESX 3.5 update 2.

  I try to take a snapshot of a lun (with a virtual machine in this regard) san and must turn off the virtual machine and disassemble the VMFS virtual machine so I can do that there is no I/O will the lun when I take the snapshot.

  How can I (of) a virtual machine of the VMFS without making the other virtual machines running in the same cluster? I know that the VMFS is a system of shared files grouped campaigns, exclusive property of vmware. Does anyone know the command to use?

  If anyone has any info on this subject, it would be great.

  This is the documentation is 1.5 ESX, released in 2002.

  The command no longer exists in recent versions.

• Need to move virtual machines and power over the other ESXi HA and issues of Configuration of power

  Dears

  Need to move virtual machines and power on ESXi others using the HA and Power Options

  So what are the Options I need activate and deactivate:

  Turn on Vsphere HA

  Activate the tracking host

  Admission control (disabled)

  VM Machine Options

  VM restart priority (medium)

  Response from the host of off the power isolation

  VM monitoring (people with disabilities)

  Monitoring of (high) sensitivity

  Heartbeat of data store (select one of cluster data warehouses taking into account my preferences) of the data store is checked

  On each:

  Start/stop of the virtual machine is turned off

  Please indicate the required Options and on virtual machines, we are not turning on?

  Just to be clear, that VMware HA will only restart the VMS if ESXi hosts fails - or surveillance of the VM is turned on which will be monitors VMs will they crash or suspend and restart the virtual machine affected.

  and just to be clear, that the response of insulation parameter has nothing to do whther THAT HA will work or not - it does come into play if the ESXi host is isolated of the HA - Cluster

  xMotion works only between active ESXi hosts that can communicate with the server vCenter - and if the ESXi host broke down or became isolated and vMotion may not work.

  vMotion is automated with DRS that vMotion will a VM who need more resources to an ESXi host with enough reosurces.

• How can I remove a virtual machine from the mycomputer tab entry?

  I imported a virtual machine, and then moved the files and it has opened its new location and now I have two similar entries in the tab "MyComputer".  I'm under VMWorkstation 9.  How can I remove the old entry that opens is more because the files are not there more?

  I've found that a right click works indeed to remove the context menu when you are on the part of the library, but when I was in the My Computer tab, right click does not work.  I had my library closed shutter, but once I opened it and tried, I managed to solve the problem.  Thanks for the help.

• How can I create a virtual machine from an ISO?

  I just installed VMware ESXi 4.1.0 on a server and then downloaded the vSphere client to connect to the server. I created a Linux (Debian 5 64-bit) profile VM, but I have the ISO Linux file on my PC I have vSphere client installed on. How can I tell my new machine VM to boot from ISO which is glued on my PC? Is there a way I can browse my PC using the vSphere client or do I burn the ISO on a CD - R and the place physically in the CD-ROM on the host system so that I can start my Linux install?

  Thanks for any help!

  you will need to ensure that the ISO file is accessible to the ESXi host moving to a datastore VMFS or NFS dayastore which is accessible to the ESXi host - then follow the instructions here - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_vm_admin_guide.pdf on how to install forms an image - ISO

• How to create the new virtual machine vm existing in the data store on ESXI

  I have ESXi and couple of virtual machines.

  I have the vsphere client on Windows 7.

  I then deploy the ovf from the vsphere client vm and it began to import my VM 30 GB.

  In the morning, I realized my vm with a vmdk file file has been transferred in the data store

  But I couldn't see any virtual computer.

  Now I don't know how to turn on this vmdk file that is in my data store

• How to configure NTP between Virtual Machines without using Vsphere Client

  I have a group of 8 virtual servers of 5.5 ESXi without an Internet connection. There are virtual machines on each of these 8 virtual servers.

  I did one of these 5.5 virtual ESXi host a NTP server by editing the file /etc/ntp.conf with below configuration and

  started the ntpd daemon. He began to take the time to its local clock, here's the output of ntpq Pei

  IP server 10.108.190.14

  ip address of the client 10.108.190.15

  Server /etc/ntp.conf

  > > driftfile/var/lib/ntp/drift

  > > server 127.127.1.0 maxpoll 4

  > > fondant 127.127.1.0 stratum 10

  | ntpq Pei

  |   refid distance st t when poll reach delay offset jitter

  | ==============================================================
  | * LOCAL (0). LIUX. 10 l 2 64 377 0.000 0.000 0.001

  Then I edited the file /etc/ntp.conf on customers with below configuration but the customer would not synchronize with the server. He

  wouldn t get response from the server. Here is the output of ntpq Pei

  Customer /etc/ntp.conf

  > > driftfile/var/lib/ntp/drift

  > > server 10.108.190.14 iburst

  | ntpq Pei

  |      refid distance st t when poll reach delay offset jitter

  | ==================================================================
  | 10.108.190.14 INIT. 16 u

  Now, when I configure NPT Client/Server on virtual machines through the Configuration Option under Option Configuration time

  in Vsphere Client everything works fine and the client and the server to synchronize with each other. I checked the file /etc/ntp.conf on both the client

  and the server and it has a couple of restrict 127.0.0.1 and restrict the lines added by default kod nomodify etc.

  So why NPT Server featured when enabled via Vsphere Client works very well, but it does not work when it is configured manually

  in the virtual servers directly.

  I was connected to a vCenter Server Appliance through the VSphere Client and enabled the synchronization of time of the NPT.

  I really need to know how to configure the NTP server without using the Vsphere Client so that I can automate the

  task by writing a python script that would connect to each virtual server and NTP Client/Server configuration.

  Any help in this issue deeply appreciated!

  Thank you!

  You can configure the ntp server without using viclient.

• How to connect to a virtual machine remotely.

  How to connect from my PC (windows xp) homepage to my PC(windows xp) desktop with a virtual machine.

  I want to connect to this virtual machine from home. How to do this? What are the steps?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  When you configure the virtual computing, r put his network card to use the host adapter.

  In this way, the virtual machine will get the IP address of the router and will basically act as if the Chickadee is an independent computer in the network.

  As long as the host computer and the virtual computer on and don't go to sleep, you can connect to each on its own through the network.

  or on the Internet.

• How can I print my virtual machine XP installed on my computer Windows 7 host?

  I can't print from my virtual XP machine which is installed on my Windows 7 host operating system.

  The printer is correctly installed on my Windows 7 OS and I can print pages of test and documents through it.

  But I can't get my printer to print anything from my XP virtual machine.

  What I've tried so far:

  I tried to install my printer in my XP virtual machine as a local printer. The installation wizard installs the drivers of its own database. The icon for the printer appears in the Printers window. But the test page does not print, or it allows to print a simple text document.

  I tried to install my printer in my XP virtual machine as a printer attached to another computer on my network. To counter this, I enabled files and printers sharing on my printer to Windows 7 host operating system and then shared to the network. Then I went back to my XP virtual machine to activate the printer installation wizard to install a printer on a network. The installation wizard will search the shared network printers, but do not find anything. I have the opportunity to enter things like the address of the network printer and so on. But I have no idea what to conclude from these boxes.

  I did my best to make sure that the Windows 7 host operating system and the virtual XP machine are on the same network, which is a working group, not a homegroup. But I can have failed at that because I don't know much about networks.

  The printer is a Brother HL-5050.

  Parallel cable.

  LPT1

  This problem is not resolved. Anyone having this same problem with a parallel cable connected printer will continue to look for the solution.

  BUT he is no longer a problem I have to deal with.

  I discovered by accident that my printer has a USB port in the back. So, I went parallel to the USB cable. This allowed me to select and activate the printer in the virtual mode menu bar Windows XP special on the top edge, by clicking on the "USB" button there. Allowing the printer in XP virtual mode turns off also in the reception of Windows 7 OS. But then 'release' the printer of the XP virtual machine allows the printer under Windows 7 again. Not much for me.
