  If there are how many documentation or steps please advise.

  Basically you shut down the virtual computer, right-click in the inventory and select "remove disc". If your concern for security concerns to reset the disk space used by the virtual machine, you will have to do it manually.

• How to present a drive on a Virtual Machine of the SAN storage?

  Hi all

  My Question is that suppose we have three Machines virtual VM1 and VM2 VM3 respectively running on an ESX host. Now, we would like to introduce a SAN storage disk that is HP EVA VM02.

  How we would present disk for this particular virtual machine.

  Kind regards

  Khurram Shahzad

  A VM disk can be a vmdk file or disc RDM.

  With vmdk, you take the space of a VMFS data store, which is a logical unit number which could be simple presented to the ESX (and can be shared across ESX) and is formatted by ESX.

  With RDM you take a raw SAN disk, you must always present at ESX (as a VMFS data store), but you must add it to your VM without ESX format.

• How to change network name for all virtual machines within the same cluster

  We have recently changed name vswitch to take into account that something significant, in the past vCenter could change the labels of networh for all virtual machines... seems this time help labels are not changed (maybe its got something to do with the update vcenter for 2.5.U3)...

  in any case, someone at - it a powershell script that could find all the virtual machines that are referring to the old label network and then changing again the name... ?

  Enjoy the respponses...

  Thanks in advance

  A few things on this blog could help.

  If you know the names you want to use, you could also just use something like:

  Get-Cluster X | Get-VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Where { $_.NetworkName -eq "OldNetwork" } | Set-NetworkAdapter -NetworkName "NewNetwork" -confirm:$false
  Get-Cluster X | Get-VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Where { $_.NetworkName -eq "NewNetwork" } | Set-NetworkAdapter -Connected:$true -confirm:$false
  

• 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.

• Start and stop Virtual Machines with the system

  Hello

  In a server cluster @vcenter HA/DRS 5.1, I enabled start and stop virtual machines with the system option but after I checked two days later, he is off again somehow. What makes this option off? I had a power failure in the datacenter. vCenter server has not been upward. I started all of the ESXi servers manually then went all VMs account is declining. I want that they start automatically when server ESXi upward.

  Thanks in advance,

  Thank you. This option is more valid than if the hosts are part of an HA Cluster license. I suspect that you configured through the traditional vSphere Client and that it is a bug with this client. If you try with the new vSphere Web Client, you will find a notice that it is disabled and there is no button "Edit".

• Commands to start and stop a virtual machine hosted by VMware player

  Where can I find the commands to start and stop a virtual machine hosted by VMware player on a host Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)?

  I need to start and stop the virtual computer from a script as I could do this by selecting the ' power on ' and his 'guest stop' or at least 'power off' options of the GUI of VMware player.

  If a control interface is not available, is available if I update to VMware Workstation?

  With the player, the VIX API is a separate download (on the same page you downloaded the install drive in), so I guess you will have to install the separate package to use it.  But it's pretty easy to do...

• How to disable auto-start for the virtual machine at the start of merger?

  Hi all

  I use Fusion 2.0.4 to run different OSs and have 4 different virtual machines that are installed. But whenever I start the merger, regardless of the previous state when I stopped him, he starts a specific virtual machine. How to avoid this? I want to start just merge and then choose which machine to start.

  TIA.

  Hello

  Welcome to the VMware Forums!

  In the virtual machine library, there is a star in the list of your virtual machines that you can click and she acts as a toggle to start the virtual machine on the opening of Fusion.

  It is somewhat a weird UI design choice, don't know me either until someone reminded last week.

  How can I stop Windows Search to steal the focus on the text input area?

  I can type about three characters maximum and then results focus, and I have to click with the mouse to the area of searching at the end.

  For example - I want to get "Img1.bak".

  I type 'I' "m" and then I'm whisked away and the 'g', I typed just takes me to the "great songs by Imogen Heap.txt" or what is the first result starting with g.

  I have to reselect the text box and add a letter or two at a time to get what I need. Very frustrating.

• How can we change the start-up time in a virtual machine

  I need to update the delay start for my virtual machines so that each time that the virtual machine is under voltage or reset, the boot order to 5000 milliseconds delay.  The default is 0 milliseconds.

  Can someone tell me what command (s) I need to use for this script.  I only meed the correct syntax and I'll be able to write the script to change the default settings on all my VMs currents (I've already updated my model so that the new virtual machines have the value of 5000 milliseconds).

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  See you soon

  IMMIAnt

  To set the delay for all your vm is 5,000 milliseconds with PowerCLI you can use:

  $spec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec

  $spec.bootOptions = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineBootOptions

  $spec.bootOptions.bootDelay = 5000

  Get - VM | {ForEach-Object

  $_. ExtensionData.ReconfigVM_Task ($spec)

• How to resize a virtual machine using vSphere client

  Hi all

  I have a virtual computer on an ESXi 4 server but I am not able to resize. So far I have stop the virtual machine in vSphere client, selected the settings then went to Hard Disk 1, Disk Configuration section everything is gray so cannot be changed. The type is listed as thick and the version of virtual machine is 7. How can I go on the increase in the size of the disk of this virtual, or any other machine also?

  Thank you

  Jamie

  Remember that you cannot increase the size of a disc if there is a snapshot, but if the option is gryed out, it looks more like a permissions issue.  You do that connected directly to the host of ESXi, or through vCenter?
