• How to use previous Versions to be like an instant Virtual Machine?

  I want to use previous Versions to be like snapshots of a virtual machine.

  I have a class of machines Windows 7 I want to freeze their condition so that they will restore a snapshot whenever I created whenever they have restarted.

  Right now I use Comodo Time Machine to make this work but I prefer to use "Previous Versions" or the system restore to make a machine to return to a State that I created any changes have been made.

  Can anyone help?

• List of the files in the data store for the virtual machine

  Hello

  How to list the files of data store for the virtual machine? I can't find reference to the command.

  Thank you

  If you have installed vCLI and vSphere SDK for Perl, you have extra utilities on top of what is there with the vCLI, take a look at this list: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/viperl40/doc/vsperl_util_index.html

  A script that can help with the list of files to store data for a given virtual machine is dsbrowse.pl

  Here is an example:

• How to download and use my Win 7 Pro prior in a Virtual Machine in VMWARE PLAYER?

  before 3 years, I bought a win 7 pro PC - recently, I fee install 8.1... How to download and use my prior Win 7 Pro in a Virtual Machine in VMWARE PLAYER?

  Unfortunately, you must have prepared a recovery disk in advance or use the one provided with your computer.

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

• How to set vm-description/notes and get the name of the data store, where the virtual machine

  Hello guys,.
  I have vCenter Orchestrator 4.1.1 build 733 installed and it works fine, but I need your help for the following two issues:
  (1) I want to put the description/notes of a virtual machine using a workflow. But I have not found any API useful to create this workflow (I don't want custom attributes, see attachment for details).

  (2) how can I get the name of the data store, where the virtual machine? I need this name for a workflow.
  I need your help.
  Thanks in advance!

  With regard to the notes of the VM, the following code (see enclosed package) can do this:

  var oldNotes = vm.summary.config.annotation;
  If (oldNotes == null) {oldNotes = ' ' ;}}
  System.log ("Notes of VM current:" + oldNotes);
  Now put the new notes:
  Start by creating a context
  Context of var = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();
  Update the annotation with the new value property
  configSpec.annotation = notes;
  launch the task to reconfigure the virtual machine with the new context
  NOTE: This is sure to apply with a virtual machine under tension
  var task = vm.reconfigVM_Task (configSpec);

  And, in what concerns the VM information, take a look at the workflow of the library: \Library\vCenter\Virtual Machine management\Others\Extract virtual machine information

• I have a product key for a pre-installed version of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, now I need an ISO standard for installation in a virtual machine

  Hello

  I bought a refurbished machine that came with Win 7 Pro pre-installed. I erased the HARD drive. Completely. Nothing more.

  I don't want Win 7 installed on the drive, but I need an ISO to install it in a virtual machine for research reasons.

  I tried to download the ISO of http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery, but when I gave the product key, I got a response that I should turn to the vendor of the computer and that is preloaded.

  When I did and asked an ISO, they told me to download from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery. This seems to be the only source for Windows ISOs left in the world.

  So, I run long in circles... infinte loop... :-(

  How can I solve this misery?

  Thanks for the replies!

• Can't see the iso files from VC to create virtual machines

  I have two Dell R805 servers attached to an AX4 - 5i Dell/EMC SAN.  With the help of Veeam FastSCP, I copied several of the iso/vmimages/tools-isoimages.  But when I use VC to change a setting for the virtual machine to use a CD ISO image, ISO appear not when I navigate to/vmimages/tools-isoimages.  How do you know if there is another "/ tools/vmimages-isoimages"?  I'm sure that the directory residing on the SAN.

  Darrell Eddy

  Hello

  /vmimages is on each ESX host that is created.

  To save on precious space on your San, why don't you install Linux or WIndows Server 2003 R2 and create NFS shares.

  You can store your ISO here and same vmtemplates.

  Is really easy to implement.

• Mount an .iso that is stored IN the virtual machine.

  Briefing Note: deploy us thin client on several campuses. Create us the model, deploy in each site, and then rebuild each pool. We now need to mount an image file .iso for one of the required programs. The .iso image file cannot be mounted with the software of in the virtual environment, because it uses a software of PortectDISC. We have the right number of drives, but customers have no disk drives.

  Problem: Since deploying the model, we must include the file .iso with her image. Normally, you would ride a .iso manually. However, load the file on each remote server .iso image and enter in each of hundreds of machines virtual one at a time to set the .iso way are not possible. Mount the .iso image file is our only option. Is there a way to store the .iso image file in the hard disk of the virtual machine and the virtual machine settings to rise from this point .iso? Or is it possible to include the image .iso with the model file when we deploy it is with each virtual machine and the path in the settings is already pointing to it?

  We tried to put the file .iso image on a store of data on one of our ESX servers, and then modified the model gold on this machine to point to the .iso image file. We reconstructed the pool, and the image .iso file mounted correctly. The problem with that is that we have 20 + machines trying to access the same file at the same time. Let the first few machines work, but the rest said it had disc read errors. So, we want to each machine to have its own .iso.

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  I have to add a warning that I use not models, but I don't think it is very relevant to my answer.

  @wila: well, I had thought about it, but when deploy us the image, it will automatically change the path to the file? For example, if we note the virtual drive to mount the .iso file to "\vm_template\cd.iso", then deploy, each of the virtual machines will not have this same path in their settings? Then they will all point to '\vm_template\cd.iso' instead of their own institution ' "\vm_##\cd.iso? '" If so, this would require we go each of hundreds of machines and set up manually every time that we deploy a model.

  If you do not add a path, then the iso that the virtual machine will try to open will be local to the virtual machine. You can simply do this by copying the vm to the path of your virtual machine, for example "[storage1] \vm_template" and affecting the CD this specific path.

  As is the same way, you can wait for the vSphere client is smart enough, it does not remove the path for drives in such a case, but not for CD...

  To use the vSphere Client to create the bases so far

  What I just did, go in the vmx file, deleted information path of superfluous and only left the name of the iso file, and all the true startConnected, not the virtual machine to make sure that my edit is OK, again registered the VM in the vSphere client, then started my VM and mounted the cdrom without any problem whatsoever.

  So - as expected - it works fine the iso file is local to the virtual machine and the local path comes first unless you assign specifically it different in the vmx file.

• Can I force it to use more vMemory and less vCPU in a virtual machine?

  Hello guys,.

  I have a virtual machine that uses vCPU more than a vMemory, when I select the Task Manager, I noticed that the memory is less than 5% and the cpu is greater than 50% when no application is running when the application run the vcpu go high and the vmem remains low. If there is any way to force it to use more vmemory and less vcpu in a virtual machine? can I use the list of resources for this?

  Thank you

  No, you can not force the VM to use more memory and less CPU. In fact you can force the VM to use less CPU by limiting the use of the processor, but it will affect performance. The only thing you can do with forcing more use - is to guarantee the physical resources for VM (reserve), but if the virtual machine has no more physical memory or CPU it don't use them.

• How to make a virtual computer to connect to a CD player with an ISO mounted when you start the virtual machine?

  I am the creation of virtual machines using PowerCLI 5.5 on vSphere 5.0; and while the virtual machine is turned off, I am able to mount an ISO on a CD player and change the boot order to boot from the CD-ROM (for another post).  I have the flag startConnected set to true, but am not having much luck getting the virtual machine to connect to the CDDrive

  $cdObj = $Vm | New-CDDrive - IsoPath $isoPathName - StartConnected: $true

  If ($cdObj - no $null)
  {
  #Power off VM if it is on
  $VmState = $Vm.PowerState
  
  If ($VmState - eq "Receptor")
  {
  $Vm | Stop-Vm-confirm: $false - ea 0
  }

  $BootHardDiskName = 'disk 1 '.
  $VmView = get - VM $VmName - Server $serverObj.Name | Get-View
  $HardDiskDeviceKey = ($VmView.Config.Hardware.Device |) Where-Object {$_.} DeviceInfo.Label - eq $BootHardDiskName}). Key

  $BootableHardDisk = new-Object - TypeName VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineBootOptionsBootableDiskDevice - property @{'DeviceKey' = $HardDiskDeviceKey}
  $BootableCDRom = new-Object-Type VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineBootOptionsBootableCdromDevice
  
  #Set for CDRom boot order
  $BootIso = new-Object VMware.Vim .VirtualMachineConfigSpec - property @ {}
  "BootOptions' = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineBootOptions - property @ {}
  BootOrder = $BootableCDRom
  }
  }
  
  #Set VM from the start settings at the start of the first CD and forces the display to update (sometimes delayed)
  $VmView.ReconfigVM_Task ($BootIso) | out-null
  $VmView.UpdateViewData ("Config.BootOptions.BootOrder")
  
  #Power on VM
  $Vm | Start-VM-confirm: $false - ea - global 0EV: vmOpsError | out-null

  When I start the VM, it does start the ISO.

  If I go to vCenter, the CD is pointing to the ISO file, but the 'Connected' to change settings option is not checked;  I can restart the VM of vCenter and then the VM restarts the ISO, but not in the script.

  I even put code to add a lead time of 5 to 10 seconds; I restart the virtual machine twice in the script and I can't CD to connect to start the virtual computer.

  Appreciate any suggestions.

  Maureen

  Have you tried to do a

  Game-CDDrive - CD $cdObj - connected - confirm: $false

  immediately after the start-VM?

• cannot insert media for the new virtual machine

  Here is the configuration:

  2 x ESXi without shared storage in the same cluster of vCenter DC

  Media (iso files OS) were imported from vShpere in the VCD console, media folder was created the data store of ESX server no.2, noticed that a single iso file might have been a copy at a distance of ESX server n ° 1.

  In console organization VCD, create a virtual machine that is checked is under the n ° 1 ESX server according to vCenter console, try "insert the CD/DVD"... "when power on or off, got the error below in vcloud-container - debug.log:

  I suspect that the VM on the ESX n ° 1 cannot access the media file on a server ESX no.2 (at least it is impossible using vCenter), is there a workaround?

  Thank you

  From what I've observed, the media files are saved on the catlog. If you click Catlog and right-click on the media file and click Open, you would see the details on the file (datastore, host). When you return to My Cloud and select the virtual machine, you will get to see the ESX host where it is now supplied the data store where the CD must be shared with this ESX host where the virtual machine is configured.

  I'm not sure if there is no work around and shared storage usage is mandatory. Try to use Openfiler to create shared storage and use at end of test.

• Replacement of a data store - migration of virtual machines

  We have a VMware ESXi 4.0 installed on a SD card and our data store is on a dedicated internal RAID array. Our data store is running out of space... what we would do is remove the old hard drives and add new - therefore, delete and re-create the matrix RAID and the data store.

  What is the best way to migrate our existing data store / VMs from the old array to a new one using vSphere or vSphere CLI? How we then re - associate VMs on the SD card with the new data store? Advice would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Looks like it's a single ESXi host.

  You will need to copy/save all the contents of the data store existing to another location (external HARD drive) while all virtual machines are closed.

  Once it's done and you are sure that the copied data are intact, you can:

  -remove all virtual machines of the inventory

  -remove the data store

  -Stop the host

  -replace the HARD drive with the new

  -Launch the host and to reconfigure the new raid

  -Create the new data store in ESXi

  Copy/restore all data to the new data store

  -Browse the data store and add all the virtual machines to the inventory (create a list to make sure you get all the)

  -Start the virtual machines

  May be a good time to do an upgrade of ESXi5 as well

• How to reset the administrator password in my Windows XP Virtual Machine

  I just created a Windows XP virtual machine and have been using it without any problem.  Today, I started the machine and he asked an administrator password.  I believe that I have not set up one that I've never been asked before.

  How can I reset my password or I have to rebuild a new machine?

  Can I use a password reset utility?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Kind regards

  Doug U - M

  If an empty password does not work then you probably have to rebuild the virtual machine. This time, I recommend adopt you the practice of setting up a second admin account immediately and make a note of the password. It's the same when you buy a new car: you get at least two sets of keys.

• How im can extract the value of the persistence of virtual machine disk?

  Dear friends

  How im can extract the value of the value of the persistence of disks of virtual machines?

  IM using the bellows of the order, I have a if to check if the disks are independent or not

  but im only want values of the persistence of the column to use in my script

  Get-disk hard - vm machine01

  CapacityGB persistence Filename

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

  10 000 persistent [LUN2] RJ7469SR039/RJ7469SR039.vmdk

  8 000 persistent [rate2] RJ7469SR039/RJ7469SR039_1.vmdk

  Thank you

  Almir

  In your example, you just use Select-Object

  Get-disk hard - vm machine01 | Select the Parent, persistence

  The parent is the name of the virtual machine
