• 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

  | * 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

  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 start a virtual machine without vmx file

  Hello, I have a virtual machine that I want to start up using 10.0.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit workstation but I don't have multiple vmdk files and a file on me vmxf and apparently, that's all that is in the software. How do I run something like that?

  Hello
  You cannot start a virtual machine without a vmx file.
  If you do not have a vmx file - fly a.
  For example this one:
  -----------------------------------

  . Encoding = "windows-1252".

  config.version = '8 '.

  virtualHW.version = '8 '.

  scsi0. Present = 'TRUE '.

  scsi0.virtualDev = "free".

  memsize = "2048".

  scsi0:0. Present = 'false '.

  scsi0:0. FileName = "set-path-to-bootdisk-and-then-set-.present-to-true-to-activate".

  ethernet0. Present = 'TRUE '.

  ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000".

  displayName = "minimal-vm.

  guestOS = "windows7-64.

  virtualHW.productCompatibility = "hosted".

  ------------------------------------

  That cuts into a file and store it as a *.vmx.
  Then launch the new VM with
  VMware /path-to-vmx/name.vmx or
  vmplayer /path-to-vmx/name.vmx
  Other users may also recommend to simply launch the user interface and follow the file > New menu...
  and then order the new virtual machine to the card by selecting your existing virtual disks.

• How to install a virtual appliance of CentoS 5.2 in Fusion?

  Hello.

  I'm a Mac with Fusion user.  I downloaded the virtual appliance CentOS 5.2.  I've expanded the 7z file.  Now, I have a directory that contains

  CentOS5 - f001.vmdk CentOS5 - f005.vmdk CentOS5.vmx

  CentOS5 - f002.vmdk CentOS5.nvram CentOS5.vmxf

  Users.txt CentOS5.vmdk CentOS5 - f003.vmdk

  CentOS5 - users.txt CentOS5.vmsd f004.vmdk ~.

  What is the next step?  I tried 'Import', but all files are grayed.  I tried 'new virtual machine' and then pointing to the vmdk file.  That continued "successfully", but the panic of the system during startup, complaining that there is no such thing as VolGroup00. "."  What is the secret?

  Thank you.

  Asher

  Without knowing the explicit file and specific that you have downloaded everything I'm going to say at this stage that you can run (double-click on) the CentOS5.vmx file.

• Virtual machines removed by Vsphere Client always in stock VSphereWebClient

  Hello together,

  When I tried on a new system (host 2, 1 iSCII-SAN, Vmware Essentials 5.5) somethings with new virtual machines

  and after I created one, it worked but we have seen, wrong operating system.

  We therefore decided to stop this machine and delete the San.

  This work we don with VSphere Client and evrything seems OK.

  This morning we started the first time that our VSpherWebClient and we still see this machine in the inventory list.

  We couldn t do something remove our something else, because in WebClient, there is no editable function

  and in the VSpehre customer isn´t of the current machine.

  Someone has an idea?

  concerning

  Hi Tim,.

  Thanks for all communications, it was useful for me.

  Now, I did the solution my way:

  I use the unit of Service VCenter and (after duplicate the original files in a folder on the data store)

  I started the default configuration wizard.

  After the process, I realized all the network settings are correct

  and all the things that now works correct.

  But it was only for my situation with a Datacenter without existing VMs and a lot of information in the

  inventory.

  I m is not sure this solution: a virtual machine on the data store a safe way for VCENTER Server.

  Maybe for Cluster HA or DSR it wise, but I think it's very important to have backups from the

  settings and inventory.

  Anyway, our system is running, and now that we can begin to move our VM´s.

  best regards and thank you

• How to let the user AD login to vSphere Client

  I have a small infrastructure Configuration. I'm no expert. Just trying to get this to work for one of my class projects where I need to let the members of my group access to a virtual machine. I have a domain created in AD user, and I like having this domain user to be able to connect on the vSphere Client to manage one of the virtual machines. How can I do this?

  Now, if I try to login with one user other than the domain administrator, I get this error message:

  the vsphere client failed to connect to 'servername '.
  

  you are not allowed to log on the server: "servername."

  You will need to login with the administrator account and assign a role to this user AD - this combination of user and role provides access to environment-

• How to start the oracle database server and its client in windows 8

  Hi all

  I am a new entry in this forum and I am a beginner with oracle database.

  I always used SQL Server as the database, and it was easy to use after installation.

  With management program configuration of SQL Server I could to start service SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) and the database server start!

  With SQL Server management studio, I was able to launch the client application, then was to establish a connection to the server and everything worked great!

  Now, how to work with the oracle database?

  I installed the oracle server and client version 11g R2 in windows 8, but how do I start the database?... and how can I start the client application to query?

  best wishes in advance.

  PS: Sorry for my English.

  If you are on the same machine, the only service that you absolutely need to start is the database service.  In your case OracleServiceSYSDBA (hmmm... How did you find with this name?).

  For queries, you can use SQL * Plus which should also be installed.  If you want something GUI, you can use SQL Developer (you need to install separately I think).

• Disable "HA started tipping.." Notice in vSphere client

  I don't know why I have this alert that we have not lost any power/network I said.  Whatever it is, how can I get rid of the alarm that is implemented in the client?

  .. .and just in case.  To get rid of the error, you will need to disable HA on the cluster, and then reactivate HA.

• How to start VDS in Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit?

  I have a problem, and it's been a while and still not solved...

  I have Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit right now and I want to upgrade to Windows 7, but installation is NOT going through perhaps because of the virtual disk service.

  How to START the virtual disk service? Everytime I try through services, I get an error 3: the system cannot find the path specified.

  Please tell me HOW to start the virtual disk service. and please do NOT move this thread on the forum windows 7, I posted in the front Vista section and moved to the region of Win 7, where my problem has not been resolved. Please leave it in this section. Thank you.

  Ok. The file is in the right place. The registry is missing the path to
  the file. Wonder how that happens - sigh?
   
  Type Regedit in the search box of the start menu.
   
  Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\vds
   
  Right-click on an empty area in the right pane - choose new - extensible
  String value. Name ImagePath (F2 key renames it). Double-click
  ImagePath and assign
  %SystemRoot%\System32\vds.exe
   
  Now you can start the service?

• VCenter with 2 guests, need to start the virtual machine to another host

• Free version of ESXi can support for configuration of start and stop virtual machines via vSphere Client?

  I have read and found some documents on ESXi.

  According to the documents, I know that ESXi free version does not support some advanced virtual machine configurations and does not support write to ESXi host permission. But when I download ESXi from vmware.com, I can't find the free version. He will always be a trial of the licensed version edition because I can always do the configuration of start and stop virtual machines via vSphere Client installation. I can also run scripts (lamw) pl in vMA to stop the ESXi host (authorization to write ok?)

  Then I confused. How can I get the really free version of ESXi? Or will the free version after 60 days of evaluation?

  Start/stop above configuration is in vSphere Client via 'Configuration'-> "start/stop VM"-> "Properties"... «-> "Allow the virtual computers start and stop automatically with the system" actions setting and stop virtual machines can be configured to "comments"turn off computer"or"Suspend".» Can any body tell me if it's supported by ESXi free edition?

  Is the free version of vSphere Client too? Because when I use the vSphere Client, he told me that I have 60 days of evaluation. This confused me again. I think that vSphere Client is always free, am I right?

  Any suggestion or advice is much appreciated.  ^_

  Micky

  Configuration of start and stop virtual machines is available with the free version and licensed, with the free version you would be configured everything via vSphere Client, where as with a licensed version, you can optionally use scripts to configure it and also issue restarts/stops using scripts.

  Second, shutdownHostViaSOAPAPICall.pl for the version licensed and free of ESX (i), this script will work in both free and licensed because it uses direct SOAP calls emulating the vSphere Client communication. Take a look at the documentation for details, but this of course is not supported by VMware.

  My apologies for not updating this post - I completely forgot

  I ended up spending a call with VMware and the resolution in my case was to add my user account in domain directly to the vCenter administrator group - before I had been a member of a group of ESX-Admins who was a member of the Administrators group. I hope this helps...
