• I can clone (clone full) a virtual machine that has snapshots of Vcenter.

  Hi gurus,

  Can I clone (clone full) an of Vcenter virtual machine that has snapshots.

  Kind regards

  Kamlesh.

  Hello

  Yes, you can clone the virtual computer.

  But your new virtual machine (the clone) will have none of the snapshots of the source of the VM.

  This will be just a version of the source running.

• How to remove a discoverer report that has a status of running query

  Hello
  
  How to remove a discoverer report that has a status of running query
  
  Thank you

  Hi 925907,

  I think you would work with your DBA to kill the session associated with the workbook running.

  A query like this will provide your DBA with all the necessary information, it must:

  Select
  vs.*
  Of
  v$ session vs
  where
  vs. Program like 'dis51ws@% ';

  After the session was killed, it is a deletion of standard workbook (select file > open workbooks, and then right click on the name of the workbook, and then select delete).

• Configure replication vSphere fails - there is a virtual machine that has the same UUID instance than the one you are trying to configure

  Hi all

  
  

  My colleague was trying to extend a hard disk of a server 2008R2 who (1) had a snapshot and (2) was being replicated. The operation has failed and they took the snapshot replication can be stopped. Long story short when I got to him, the server could not be configured for replication and could not extend the disk and a vMotion failed.

  Looking at the files of the VM on the data store and the VMs .vmx file we have all the characteristics of a virtual machine always configured for replication of vSphere. If you try to configure replication vSphere causes an instant error "vsphere replication does not support change the length of a replicated disk. After a few changes I can reconfigure vSphere new replication, however, when the wizard has finished, I get a new error message (see below):

  "Try to set up vSphere that replication has failed for the VM"name vm"during the creation of groups"vm". There is a virtual "vm-name" machine that has the same instance UUID ' UUID of the Virtual Machine "that you want to configure. The existing vSphere of replication is configured for site protection.

  A possible solution would be to reset the database embedded VRMS our DR as suggested here VR configure replication after losing a VC site server but I was wondering if there is another solution? I have not reset the database of VRM before and cannot find a document that tells exactly what to do. I guess I need to stop all the rehearsals before resetting the database?

  See you soon,.

  Hello

  There is no need to reset the VRMS database.

  If you know the value GID... an orphan replication, you can use the CROWD VRMS (https://vrms_address:8043/mob/?moid=GID-...&vmodl=1) to call the destroy method - it is eliminating simple replication to the site of the source or the target.

  If you don't know the GID... value, it can be found of VRMS DB or log files. Please file an SR for assistance.

  This procedure is already documented in internal KB articles and help using VMware support:

  KB article internal 2056086, section "cannot replicate virtual machine as there is another virtual machine with the same UUID instance"

  and also internal KB article 2060751.

  The admin guide section will be updated as it is confusing right now by suggesting only to reset the DB.

  Kind regards

• 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.

• 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.

• Adding a virtual machine that has been previously saved

  Hello. I backed up a virtual machine that was running in an ESX (ESX n ° 1) and transfer all of its files in an a different ESX (ESX No. 2) data store. How should I add this VM in the new ESX (ESX No. 2)? I'm not using vCenter, I connect directly to the ESX Server via vSphere Client.

  The only way I found to do this is to create a new virtual machine in ESX No. 2, and when I add the new hard drive, I select the old VM hard. But this process is not so clean. For example, I read that if I used vCenter I'd be able to disconnect the server ESX n ° 2 of my datacenter and plug it back again, and when I do he added all the virtual machines that are within its data store automatically. The problem, as I said, is that I'm not using vCenter.

  Thanks in advance.

  Warlock.

  Once you access the data store and find the files, you can simply right click on the VMX file and select "Add to inventory."  This will allow you to add the virtual machine to your host without manually creating a new virtual machine and pointing to the existing VMDK file.

• 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 manage 100 Virtual Machines (WinXP) GUI in the best way

  Will deploy 100 VM (all Windows XP clients) in our laboratory to test the performance of our server under heavy load device.

  We have vSpehere with vCenter 4.0; storage iSCSI and 4 guests in 2 groups.

  I think that how I can handle 100 customers at the same time, in the easiest way. On each machine, I start to our customer and make a few settings, login, etc.

  I use "Open console" option on the VM 100 all, but maybe it isn't the best way.

  Is there a best ide for this?

  Maybe I need an application to console several pc, or something like that.

  Thank you very much.

  You must install the toolkit of VI in windows. see link below and run the .ps script.
