How to remove a VM inventory in vcentre when the host is down

Hi guys,.

We had a power outage today where one of our physical ESX host is dead (we have 2 VM cluster hosts).  HA/DRS unfortunately does not work as there are insufficient resources to automatically migrate the virtual machines on the host failed through to the host remaining (another separate question that I will not here address)

when the hsot went down, virtual machines have been left in the market, but were in a disconnected state (see table).  I read that you can reallocate virtual machines to another host by 'navigate to the data store and do a right-click on the vmx file and click Add to inventory and select the host. " (Ref: ) http://communities.VMware.com/thread/173314 )

However when I browse to the data store, the option 'Add to inventory' has also dimmed.  I suspect (Please confirm) that he wwas because the virtual machine in question was still at the "running" State  problematic, because that disconnected/running state, I could not close it out vcentre gui (or console, as host was dead)

can someone tell me how - if possible - can I migrate the virtual machine to another host, while in the situation described above?

If this is not possible for future situations where the host is lost, I would be better together virtual machine to stop? (this would allow me to reassign the vms can?)

see you soon

The virtual machine will remain in the host inventory and disappear once you remove the host to vCenter inventory. What you then do - at least that's what I would probably - to be able again to power on virtual machines is to register the virtual machine to other hosts on the server vCenter Server (click right the VM .vmx file and choose 'Add to inventory')-after the correction of the host and before adding it again to vCenter Server - connect directly to this host and then delete the virtual machine already 'moved' from his inventory.

What you need to do after registration of VM for other hosts is to check the VM based backup applications (if used), because the virtual machine will receive new ID.

  • How to remove "modal dialog box or alert" when the script is underway?

    Hi all

    I've created a script that will set the text of the rtf files from a folder to a document on a different page based on the correspondence. But if a font which was in doc file but absent on my mac, showed an error when running the script.

    This means that Indesign has opened a missing alert police box and script stop to this line and the error shows "cannot process the request because a modal dialog box or the alert is active.

    Is possible to remove this error and the script is continue to place all RTF files? I have little knowledge of try/catch.

    indesign #target

    myDoc var = app.documents.item (0);

    sourceFolder var = Folder("/Users/admin4/Desktop/ec_txt");

    myFiles = sourceFolder.getFiles ("*.rtf");

    var myFrame1 = myDoc.pageItems.itemByID (111076);  Switzerland

    var myDoc.pageItems.itemByID = myFrame2 (111114);  euro area

    var myFrame3 = myDoc.pageItems.itemByID (111146);  Germany

    for (var i = 0; i < myFiles.length; i ++)

    {

    switch (myFiles [i].name.slice (6, myFiles [i].name.lastIndexOf ("_")))

    {

    case 'Switzerland_en ':

    myFrame1.parentStory.insertionPoints.item(-1).place (file (sourceFolder + "/" + myFiles [i] .name))

    break;

    case 'Eurozone_en ':

    myFrame2.parentStory.insertionPoints.item(-1).place (file (sourceFolder + "/" + myFiles [i] .name))

    break;

    case 'Germany_en ':

    myFrame3.parentStory.insertionPoints.item(-1).place (file (sourceFolder + "/" + myFiles [i] .name))

    break;

    }

    }

    To remove alerts, you can use different levels of user interaction.

    app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;
    

    Not forgotten to reset after the end of the script with the following:

    app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.interactWithAll;
    

    Hope it resolve your request.

  • How can I get audio to not start when the button is clicked?

    I am new to adding audio to slides, buttons, click boxes.  Import the recorded voice on the overall slide of files sounds easy enough.  However, there are several buttons that display a legend I want audio to not start when the button is clicked.  I added audio just for this button, but it starts when the slide begins.

    How can I get audio to not start when the button is clicked?

    Hello

    Audio playback when the assigned object with the audio appears. That's why hear you when the button appears.

    Try to assign audio instead to the object that is displayed when you click the button. Perhaps the legend.

    See you soon... Rick

  • How to remove Win 8 once you got into the loop of auto repair

    Hello

    I want to delete my win 8 and 8.1 pre-installed os clean win install.

    The first thing that boot is an auto repair repeatedly. In prebooting does not react on any key functional. The only things I can use are UEFI and command prompt. Everything else does not work (so don't suggest me trying sth else) and I do not have the recovery partition. After the Boot priority, on USB HDD and restart the laptop (SAMSUNG) it resets to how previous start.

    Some info: I disabled the startup security, disabled the quick start, activated Legasy only, I delete all the partition on the HARD disk. What can I do else so that the pc will not reset the boot priority back?

    Jayant Gupta thanks for your reply, but I already did. Just in case if this could help someone: I have disabled everything I could in UEFI (absolutely everything) - saved and restarted, then I deleted all the positions in except USB Flash Driver Boot priority where my 8.1 Win was - saved, rebooted and kept pressing three keys: ESC, F2, F11 (one of them finally worked); and then I finally got on the menu before installation of the USB Flash driver.
