• Consolidation of disks of virtual machines is necessary

  I did something really stupid and cancelled snapshot creation task.  Sound running on ESXi 5.5.0, server there are a few other vm running on it.  Now there is a message saying that the consolidation of the disk is necessary.

  Thing is that it was the first snapshot of this virtual machine. Should I try to consolidate, ignore this message or maybe try to make the new snapshot?

  John,

  I know, it shouldn't be a problem. You can simply consolidate the disks. He speaks, because when a snapshot is made, a new delta vmdk (VM disk file) is created. All the new changes from there are saved in this new VMDK, but since you abandoned the snapshot process, the virtual machine is probably running on a delta disc, but the database snapshot does not report an instant success.

  I would like to know if it works for you,

• How to change the name of VirtualSwitch without running virtual MAchines of braking?

  Does anyone know how to change the name of the virtual switch (used by VM) without braking the VM running in this cluster?

  The best way to do this without losing network connectivity is add a group of ports with the new name and connect the virtual machines to the new group of port and when the initial group of port is empty remove - remember that it's the port group named not the vswitch.

• How everyone counts the total amount of GHz for virtual machines on a host-cluster?

  Hello

  I want to do some basic sizing and I may\may do not go the way to write about it.  For example, suppose I have a cluster of 4 nodes with a total of 200GHz and 1 TB of RAM on all four hosts with 100 VM.  How can I get the total amount of GHz\Memory that each virtual machine is configured with (not necessaryly to aid real-time) so that I can workout or demonstrate what fits on one or two hosts in the cluster, for example?

  Thanks for your help and advice in advance

  You can do this via the inventory tool called RVTOOL which allow you to do an inventory of all your virtual machines and hosts with the resource assigned and served. hope, it will help you.

• How to pass the start settings in starting a virtual machine?

  How can I use PowerCLI to start a new Linux VM and the nucleus of some startup parameters?

  What would be more simple: (a) to make and use a virtual machine model, or (b) to boot from an ISO image, or (c) start with a Linux VM and the clone who?

  The basic Linux is RedHat on an ISO on the network (ISO can be on a local path running the PowerCLI script if necessary).  If a model would be easier then a diagram how to make one of my ISO would be great!

  RedHat Linux can be configured by passing parameters of the kernel startup, so kickstart configures the system, something like

  KS=/my/path/KS.cfg otherparams

  where KS.cfg says kickstart what to do.

  How to pass the start settings in the new virtual machine?

  (It is probably completely irrelevant, but I work with Xen using bash scripting and)

  $UUID = xe model vm-install = "RedHatLinux64bit."

  XE vm-param-set uuid = $UUID PV-args="ks=/my/path/ks.cfg '.

  XE-vm-beginning uuid = $UUID

  now, it must be implemented on ESX. To determine when the new VM is fuly configured, my scripts from kickstart wrote a semaphore to be detected by the bash script.)

  I know very little about ESX and PowerCLI details will be particularly useful if you please!

  Thank you!

  Enjoy your break

• How to get the list of files for a virtual machine?

  Hello

  Virtual machines can have their files distributed on several issues (even through several data warehouses).

  PowerCLI gives us an easy way to retrieve the data warehouse associated with a virtual (Get-data store) machine, but it doesn't seem to be a built-in method to get the list of all records where a given virtual machine stores all its files. Or maybe I'm just blind ;-)

  Can anyone offer an overview on how to achieve this?

  Thank you

  No, that sounds like a good idea to copy/back up virtual machines.

  I adapted the script. She now returns one row for each unique record

  foreach($vm in Get-VM){
    $folders = $vm.ExtensionData.LayoutEx.File | %{$_.Name.Split('/')[0]} | Sort-Object -Unique  $folders | Select @{N="VM";E={$vm.Name}},@{N="Folder";E={$_}}
  }

• How to disable the HA/DRS option on a virtual machine?

  I have a virtual machine running under VMware cluster of 8 ESXi hosts. I want HA/DRS must be disabled on this virtual machine, as well as VMware may not move this vm incase of any failure. Can someone help me on this request?

  Hello Krishna,

  Yes. You can do this in the DRS and HA game settings for each virtual machine individually in cluster settings.

  There are various tabs of options HA - VM and VM - DRS in the vSphere client.

  In the new web client, these parameters are on a tab:

  Manage->-> VM overrides settings.

  Set the DRS automation level and priority to restart HA to disabled for this virtual machine. Also choose to leave it turned on like HA host Isolaiton response.

• How to add the AD security group in each virtual machine with a name corresponding in VCenter?

  Hi all

  I would like to know if it is possible with VMware PowerCLI v4.1, I created the universal security group called 'Local administrators on %ComputerName%' for each server I have in UO computers by location OR separate and that he manually add members of the Local, but I want to attribute this security group in each computer virtual with the same name if possible.

  Basically, it's something like this:

  In the ad, here are computer objects:
  DOMAIN.com/Computers/ mailserver1-VM
  DOMAIN.com/Computers/ DBServer1-VM
  DOMAIN.com/Computers/ ApplicationServer1-VM

  In the ad's local security group objects:
  DOMAIN.com/SecureProductionOU/ 'Administrator locally on mailserver1-VM'
  DOMAIN.com/SecureProductionOU/ 'Local on DBServer1-VM administrator.
  DOMAIN.com/SecureProductionOU/ 'Local on ApplicationServer1-VM administrator.

  So I want to affect these security group in each respective name of VMS in VCenter:

  VCenter01.domain.com
  Datacenter1
  HighPerformanceCluster1
  Mailserver1-VM - Local Administrator on mailserver1-VM - role: read-only
  DBServer1-VM - Local Administrator on DBServer1-VM - role: read-only
  ApplicationServer1-VM - Local Administrator on ApplicationServer1-VM - role: read-only

  Any kind of aid and assistance would be appreciated grgeatly.

  Thank you.

  Hi Albert,

  I don't know what you want to check exactly, so I give 2 possible solutions.

  (1) you have a fixed number of names known to virtual machines for which you want to add this permission.

  $targetVM = "MailServer1-VM","DBServer1-VM","ApplicationServer1-VM"
  
  Get-Cluster -Name HighPerformanceCluster1 | Get-VM | `    where {$targetVM -contains $_.Name} | %{    New-VIPermission -Entity $_ -Principal ("DOMAIN\Local Administrator on " + $_.Name) `       -Role (Get-VIRole -Name ReadOnly) -Confirm:$false   }
  

  (2) you want to check for each virtual computer if the security group exist and then add the authorization.

  Get-Cluster -Name HighPerformanceCluster1 | Get-VM | `    Where{Get-QADObject ("DOMAIN\Local Administrator on " + $_.Name) `        -DontUseDefaultIncludedProperties -WarningAction SilentlyContinue `        -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -SizeLimit 1} | %{    New-VIPermission -Entity $_ -Principal ("DOMAIN\Local Administrator on " + $_.Name) `        -Role (Get-VIRole -Name ReadOnly) -Confirm:$false} 
  

  Note that this requires the Quest AD snap-in must be installed. If you have a version without the Quest AD snap let me know.

• How to remove the disk HARD passwordon Portege R500?

  Hello

  do you know how to remove the HARD drive password? I know the current password, but if I try to remove it by changing your current password to a blank password, it does not work.
  It has password always news.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I hope that you use the correct and just HARD drive password because it of necessary to remove and delete the existing HARD disk password.
  If you have forgot the password for HARD drive then the HARD drive should be locked and you would not be able to unlock the HARD drive!

  Generally, the HARD drive password can be deleted in the BIOS.
  Please ensure that another password would be removed too.

  I found a forum thread useful on a password disk HARD similar question:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=66386𐍒

  According to the information published by the user jonr17 you must first make sure that all other like BIOS passwords, user and supervisor passwords are removed.
  Then try to remove the HDD from the BIOS password.

  Good bye

  How to remove this black screen (password disk HARD is clear) before you set a password it is not this black screen?

  Hi iliyan_84,

  You only set the HARD drive password or another password too?
  Normally the HARD drive password can be removed in the BIOS. Therefore, to set a new password and don't enter all the keys. Just press the Enter key to leave the new password disk HARD vacuum box.

  Try to also load default settings in the BIOS and if it doesn't work, you must update the BIOS. You can find the latest version on the official website of Toshiba.

  I have just re installed Windows XP. Windows installed after three attempts. When I turn on the computer there are three choices of Windows XP. Only the first works how to remove the other two?

  I have a hard drive. At least two partitions. C: 74.7 GB with 63.3 freespace
  D: 74.2 GB with 70.6 freespace
  These are my original specifications of the hard drive: 160 GB (7200 RPM) SERIAL ATA HARD DRIVE WI
  So I suspect there are at least one or more partitions hidden leaving 11.1 GB for hidden partitions!
  Windows is present on both drives C: & D:. In the directory windows on C:, the oldest entry is 19.12.12, 21.43 last 21.12.12, 22.50
  The first entry in the directory windows on D: is 19.12.12, 18.42 the last 21.12.12, 22.40
  I hope that makes sense to someone, any help gratefully received!

  As long as you have verified you dΘmarrez done on the c: / partition, Yes, you can reformat the drive D: / partition using Windows 'disk management '.
