• 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.

• 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.

• Configure replication vSphere fails - there is a virtual machine that has the same UUID instance than the one you are trying to configure

  Hi all

  
  

  My colleague was trying to extend a hard disk of a server 2008R2 who (1) had a snapshot and (2) was being replicated. The operation has failed and they took the snapshot replication can be stopped. Long story short when I got to him, the server could not be configured for replication and could not extend the disk and a vMotion failed.

  Looking at the files of the VM on the data store and the VMs .vmx file we have all the characteristics of a virtual machine always configured for replication of vSphere. If you try to configure replication vSphere causes an instant error "vsphere replication does not support change the length of a replicated disk. After a few changes I can reconfigure vSphere new replication, however, when the wizard has finished, I get a new error message (see below):

  "Try to set up vSphere that replication has failed for the VM"name vm"during the creation of groups"vm". There is a virtual "vm-name" machine that has the same instance UUID ' UUID of the Virtual Machine "that you want to configure. The existing vSphere of replication is configured for site protection.

  A possible solution would be to reset the database embedded VRMS our DR as suggested here VR configure replication after losing a VC site server but I was wondering if there is another solution? I have not reset the database of VRM before and cannot find a document that tells exactly what to do. I guess I need to stop all the rehearsals before resetting the database?

  See you soon,.

  Hello

  There is no need to reset the VRMS database.

  If you know the value GID... an orphan replication, you can use the CROWD VRMS (https://vrms_address:8043/mob/?moid=GID-...&vmodl=1) to call the destroy method - it is eliminating simple replication to the site of the source or the target.

  If you don't know the GID... value, it can be found of VRMS DB or log files. Please file an SR for assistance.

  This procedure is already documented in internal KB articles and help using VMware support:

  KB article internal 2056086, section "cannot replicate virtual machine as there is another virtual machine with the same UUID instance"

  and also internal KB article 2060751.

  The admin guide section will be updated as it is confusing right now by suggesting only to reset the DB.

• I can clone (clone full) a virtual machine that has snapshots of Vcenter.

  Hi gurus,

  Can I clone (clone full) an of Vcenter virtual machine that has snapshots.

  Kind regards

  Kamlesh.

  Hello

  Yes, you can clone the virtual computer.

  But your new virtual machine (the clone) will have none of the snapshots of the source of the VM.

  This will be just a version of the source running.

• 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 move a virtual machine to another store of data on the same host

  Hello

  I have a single ESX4 host with 3 data warehouses and I need to move a virtual machine to another data store, how can I do that since I don't have the ability to migrate the virtual machine when I am connected directly to the client with vSphere host and I do not have a server vCenter also?

  Thanks, Julien

  Hello

  Yes, you can use #vmkfstools-i /vmfs/volumes/datastore/VM/VM.vmdk /vmfs/volumes/datastore/VM1/VM1.vmdk

  For the record, the data store must be shared if you copy of VM and VM must be turned off. In the above command you copy VM.vmdk to VM1.vmdk and add the newly created with this existing VMDK VM.

• Move a virtual machine that has a raw lun mapped to SAN

  Dear all,

  I need expert advice for this case. I have a virtual machine on a host with esxi 4.0, but due to many machines same virtual host we are experiencing memory problems and have decided to move this virtual machine to another host with less VM and less use of resources.

  I plan 1 HR time to perform this task, this virtual machine have two drives one windows partition and the second 20 GB as mapped lun on SAN. So when you move it to another host, what I'll do is tap to stop the virtual machine, go to another host and storage switch to VM folder and add the VM.vmx file to add it to the inventory of the new host. What about the case of raw LUN mapped, how to take care of it.

  Please advise, it is little urgent.

  Thank you

  I guess there is no vCenter at stake here and you have no option for vMotion? The RDM, I would like to stop the virtual machine, detach the RDM LUN, migrating the virtual machine and re - attach the RDM.  As long as the two hosts can see SAN/RDM, you should be good with that.

• How do I remove a download that has been downloaded but not yet installed? (Internext Explorer 8)

  (Int Exp 8) file is automatically downloaded, but I don't want to install it.  How can I remove the download?

  Hello Fokker99,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

  I understand that Internet Explorer 8 is automatically downloaded to your computer from Windows update and that you want to remove and want to return to Internet Explorer 7.

  Internet Explorer 8 is an updated version of the browser that comes with many additional features. Here is a link that will give you information about the features available in Internet Explorer 8:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Internet-Explorer/features/faster.aspx

  It is recommended that you install for your browser up to date.

  However, if you still don't want to install this, there 2 ways you can try to delete the downloaded update.

  All updated the download file would be saved in the folder "software Distrubution. Here are the steps to delete the downloaded update file:

  1. stop the automatic updates service:

  Start > Search > services.msc (enter) > [OK]
  Double-click Automatic Updates > click Stop
  (Stopping the service will take a moment)

  2 remove the contents of the download folder:

  Start > Search > (enter) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > [OK]
  Open the download folder and delete its contents
  Close the window.

  3. go to the Windows Update Web site > select CUSTOM and allow complete analysis > uncheck / deselect, update the driver, and then 'hide' ("don't show me this update").

  4. start the automatic updates service:

  Start > run > services.msc (enter) > [OK]
  Double-click Automatic Updates > click Start
  (Starting the service will take a moment)

  The second method would be to hide updates.

  Open Control Panel
  Open Security Center
  Click Automatic updates
  On the screen that shows set to the point in downloading, but let me choose when it is installed.
  Press on apply or OK and exit

  I hope this information helps.

  Thank you.
