How to save a virtual machine before you remove the disc
Very new to VMWare, with Essentials 5.5 the VSphere Client. I have a virtual machine, I would like to remove from the disk, but want to copy, in the cases where I need to turn the crank upward once again, the host before the withdraw. Is it fairly easy to achieve? However, I have to remove the inventory, by copying the file to the vm from the data store, add it to the inventory then disconnected the floppy again. Would support this work if I already needed to put the virtual machine?
Thanks for any idea!
You can download the files of the virtual directory of the data store computer and that you need to remove the inventory, just stop the virtual machine to release the locks on files.

Forms [32 bit] Version 6.0.8.11.3 (Production),
Hello
I have a master / detail hangs, I update a table, and the update process is based on registration of removal of the retail block, so
I created a before delete trigger on the block of retail and wrote the declaration of update in it, and it worked fine when I tried to delete a record directly from the retail block, but
When I tried to remove the main record that causes all the detail records should be deleted because the property 'Behaviour of delete record' "cascade."
the update process is not the case, what is the problem that I do? What should I do to make the process of update happen?
do not delete makes it master record "Before Delete" trigger on the detail to the fire?
Thank you
There are at least two solutions.
One (which I like) is to write code in a database trigger (after HAVE DELETE ON detail_table FOR EACH ROW).
Another way is to add the code at the beginning of the DELETE pre trigger forms (the block details):
FOR (IN) cur_detail
SELECT...
OF detail_table
WHERE master_id =: master_block.id)
LOOP
...
END LOOP;
--
-Start default relationship program section
--
BEGIN
--
-Program section Begin DETAIL_BLOCK detail
--
DELETE FROM detail_table d
WHERE d.master_id =: master_block.id;
--
...
Kind regards

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.

How I have Thunderbird warn me before you empty the trash?
When I right click and choose "empty trash" I am asked is no longer a response. The removal is automatic. I want to change this back to receive messages. I can't find the solution.
It's an educated guess (I hope!).
Tools | Options of| Advanced | Editor of GeneralConfig
Say yes you will pay attention, in case of dispute.
In the filter at the top box, type empty .
Look through the entries and edit as appropriate. Mine looked like the tie.I would suggest you start with the variants "don't ask again" and make them false. Double-click to change.

How can I call Save as dialog box before you download pdf files?
How can I call Save as dialog box before you download pdf files?
Here's my favorite scenario:
1. the user clicks on the button
2 Save as dialog box displays
3. the user chooses the place
4. a set of PDF files download here OR download a single zip file
Background:
I want to ensure that the user sees that the files are downloaded. I'm content to users who are not Web warned.
Concern:
1. the user has no idea how to find the downloaded files or files have even downloaded.
2. I would like to deliver all in the form of zip files. Not sure if the automatic opening of zip files still exist.
FOR INFO:
I use jQuery UI buttons. Not sure if that factors in the response.
Just for clarity, I'm not forcing a download. The user will click on a button.
Click on a button or click on a link, either way you are technically running a script to force a download.
I guess that's the PHP on the server.
Yes but it is only a part of it. Once the form runs, another script is called that opens the browser download dialog.
Y at - it a php script to call the open/save dialog box?
Yes.
Name this file zip2download.php.
Add a link to your HTML page:
zip2download.php">Download the Zip

How to cancel a virtual machine?
Morning,
After trying to return to a capture instant hot our vcenter server is suspended with an error that the cpu is in a different family.
The virtual machine has not changed hosts (I think) I understand that the way to solve this problem is to re - save the vm on the host.
We use the ESXi 4.1. I can't find the orders or instructions on how to do it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
The virtual machine tries to regain the State of snapshot saved in the following file.
06:25:50.938 25 Apr: vmx | CPT: Restoration of control point/vmfs/volumes/4ca074a5-7f211820-c561-0023aef861ac/GAL-VC01 /GAL-VC01 - Snapshot3.vmsn
Unless you discover on which host the snapshot was taken or what happened (e.g. BIOS update) during the snapshot date and now, you can delete this file. The result would be comparable to a system reset.

How can I backup virtual machines in Esxi 3.5 free
I am new to vmware and virtual systems. Server has four virtual servers on it. It seems that the data store has taken all the disk space. How can I save each virtual machine so I can upgrade the software to Esxi 4.X?
Given that you want to back up the virtual machine, chose the download. Copy to create a copy of the file on the data store that is not logical backup.
BTW. You can take a look at of Veeam FastSCP if you want to backup to your (local or shared) downlaoding files) disk.

People,
Hello. I use 3 Player VM and Guest OS Windows Server 2003. The host OS is Windows 7. I need to increase the size of the VM disk, so who can install several systems in the guest OS. Before you increase the size of the virtual disk, I need to back up the virtual machine hard disk external. It is to copy and paste the "C:\VirtualMachine\" folder in the hard disk external.
I just bought an external hard drive that is "Western Digital My Passport Essential 500 GB USB 3.0" and its software is "WD SmartWare". It seems that the software can back up the entire hard drive only. Alternatively, the backup files by selecting the types (music, photo, document, movies). But can not save a folder "C:\VirtualMachine\".
So my question is: what brand of external drive USB/eSATA can save a Virtual Machine to host Windows 7 operating system?
These two questions do not apply if you have a virtual machine.

Hi all
I am currently using preinstalled VMware 7.1 and I try to import a virtual machine, I used to work on my windows XP. Recently, I am using windows VISTA and I am trying to import my VM (.vmx) and I get this error "cannot convert a virtual machine, although it is powere on or suspended. "Shut down and power off the virtual machine before the conversion.
This virtual machine worked very well under windows XP and VMware 6.5, but now I am not able to import it. Please suggest how I can make this virtual machine running in my VISTA and vmware 7.1.
I am also attaching the converter file logs and .vmx vmware.

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.

Evacuation of the virtual machines before maintenance mode
When ESX is placed in maintenance mode - it should give you a vmotion option functioning of the virtual machines on the other hosts in the same cluster? Or it only move down vms to other hosts?
Thank you
DRS is your friend here, ensuring that VMS are evacuated.
If you are unable to vMotion VMs manually from the host, the y is unable to escape during operations in Maintenance mode. The host will therefore go not in maintenance mode before having been involved and sort the vMotion.
Most often, CD-ROM etc are involved here, but validation of vMotion also includes such things as the availability of resources and port groups (that is, if a group of ports corresponding to that used by the virtual machine is not available on another host in the cluster that has the resources available, the vMotion will not pass validfation and the virtual machine will remain on the host of 'Maintenance Mode').

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

I'm sure I'll be stupid on this one, but what does do to ensure that networks of virtual machine? I get this message when I look at network/properties of a VM adapter 1.
When the virtual computer runs, my network card think the cable is disconnected.
I went to the host properties and of course there is a 'Virtual Machine port group"and a"VMKernel Port", both connected to my physical card.
I don't see anything obvious on the network are disabled or anything like that.
Please give me a hint? Virtual machines to run it, but without any network connectivity.
Thank you

I had this on the virtual machines that I moved from VMware Server 2.0. I found that there is no entry for the "ethernet0.networkName" in the .vmx files Server 2 (and probably Workstation) do not seem to care and connect ethernet0 to the first configured network. ESXi 4 all confused. So for me, the solution was to add
ethernet0.networkName = 'Hand Lan'
for each file .vmx before adding them for ESX. If you have already added the machine, you will need to remove it before you edit the .vmx file.

In your Virtual Center client in the left upper corner click the inventory button and choose 'Models and Virtual Machines' this will display your virtual machines as well as the underneather of models in the window of the host tree. Right-click on the template and select deploy the virtual machine from this template and it will start the wizard.
