• How to remove a virtual machine that has lost the storage

  Hello

  I want to remove the drive a virtual machine that has lost its storage. This storage kept OS files and so on. The problem is that because it is lost I can't access most options since they are grey (eg. delete disk). I can't get out of the inventory, but I want to remove it completely. It is impossible to recover the storage that was missing. What is a way to remove it?

  Thanks adavance

  It's because everything else for the virtual machine has been wrapped in storage.

• 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 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.

• How to unmanage a virtual machine that has been in service of the vRA

  According to the subject line, I'm looking for a way to unmanage a virtual machine that was put in service of vRA without destroying it.

• HOW TO HAVE VCB VIRTUAL MACHINE THAT WILL BE COMMON LUN FCSAN

  HAI

  ANY ADVICE ME PLEASE?

  I WANT TO CREATE A VM FOR VCB AND RESIDENT ON THE COMMON LUN VM IN FCSAN?  :| .

  Thank you

  VCMS

  In fact, using VCB 1.5 / ESX3.5 / VC 2.5 supports VCB running within a virtual machine. You can use iSCSI, NBD or Hot - Add mode.

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

  I lost the connection to one of the two armies in the vCenter. How to start a virtual machine saved on the host that is down. ?

  Heck, I found out how. I had to connect to the HOST and not do it from the vCenter. Got it to work.

• What HA refusing to try to start a virtual machine?

  I'm trying just to clear on how this process works. If HA is enabled, there is a failure of the host, and he's trying to restart the virtual machines on one or several other hosts, when the host will refuse to restart (failover) a virtual machine? Assume that there is no reservation other than the default 37 MHz CPU and some booking fees calculated generals for RAM (these are the default values, right?). A host would continue to attempt to restart the virtual machines as long as there are at least 37 Mhz and a few hundred MB of RAM available for the moment he is trying to restart? And if so, there are algorithms maintains the host master to decide where to start these VMs? I just think that she should try to startups VM alternately between the available hosts and wait a little bit to make sure that there are still some available resources before you start the following, or something like that.

  Also, if there is fragmentation of resources (for example, 8% of availability on each of the 15 hosts), but HA needs to start a virtual machine that requires 15% of host resources (I realize that there is a reserve in order to decide this question of the requirement, even), would automatically make migration of VMS to other hosts (if the DRS is also enabled) or he'd just sorry cannot start this virtual machine, even if the group as a whole has space for him.  [in this case, must not make large reserves because without a reservation, the virtual machine would start upward and like CPU or memory has increased its use would cause some DRS force other virtual machines out of the host, and perhaps that would work.]

  vSphere 5.1 (vCenter and ESXi)

  The master knows where virtual machines are running and try to balance where virtual machines are started. Reservations and overhead costs are the only things taken into account from a point of view of its use (not the actual resources consumed on a host) because HA does what VMs restarted (and if they have reserves prompting these resources, they need to have to start).

  If the DRS is turned on and available, HA will work with DRS to move workloads so that the largest VMs can begin. If you have virtual machines more the thing to think about is what admission control policy you use. It may be wise to use the location function if all your virtual machines are large and close to the same size, or dedicated host of failover so you won't have to deal with shuffling DRS of workloads. Everything depends on your environment and your needs.

  Does that answer your questions?

• 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.

• 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.

• The virtual machine that wouldn't die - or - how the % ^ $^ % $ do I stop a suspended virtual machine?

  Fusion: v4.1.4

  VM: Windows XP SP3

  OK, so I copied on my old XP VM, initially created on Workstation 5, on my Mac. It starts very well and I've added merge tools without problem. Everything works fine. BUT if I power down using start-> computer-> Turn Off Guest, it will just into suspend mode. I have a--suspend try virtual machine-> Force Shut Down and it just goes back to the standby mode. I try to start-> turn off the computer-> restart followed by start-> computer-> Turn Off and same thing. Virtual machine-> Force restart following start-> computer-> Turn Off the same results. So nothing I've tried will turn off what I can change the settings.

  I think what happened is, I had initially set the preferences of the merger to 'Suspend the virtual machine', powered on virtual machine and then he changed it to "Turn off the virtual machine" and then tried to stop.

  An OS X Lion VM, I have no problem turns off.

  What can I do, short removing the cursed thing and start over? And if I do that I'll have the same problem I think.

  Administer a test... While the virtual machine is stopped, manually edit the .vmx placing a # configuration file to: snapshot.action = "autoRevert"

  It is a parameter that is available from the VMware Workstation user interface but not the INTERFACE of VMware Fusion and I believe that it is perhaps the origin of the problem.

• Stop/start multiple virtual machines with names created automatically

  Hi all

  in my test environment, I want to stop or start multiple virtual machines via the script.

  Their name is always like this:

  'vm-100-qa', 'vm-101-qa","vm-100-qa","vm-102-qa '...

  Now I would like to just stop every VM 'vm-140-QA' to 'vm-160-qa.

  I created a table "$a = 140.160", but I don't know how to implement this in a script 'Shutdown-VMGuest-comments '.... »

  Sorry for this stupid question. I am a beginner absolute powershell.

  Thank you very much in advance,

  Petrie

  You can do something like this
