• Move a whole virtual machine snapshots to another ESX Server is

  Hi all

  I'm doing an exact copy of a virtual (including snapshots) computer on an ESX Server 2. I thought that the user interface can use the vcbMounter command, but it does allow me to bring over all the snapshots. I tried a copy directly the files but I couldn't find a way to open the virtual machine in the 2nd ESX Server. Is it possible to copy an instant set VM and it is or I have to copy the entire ESX Server?

  Thank you all,.

• Require a process step by step for the migration of virtual machines to new VMware ESX hypervisor

  Hello

  I'm looking for the method step by step for the migration of virtual machines to new host ESX Migration both cold and hot.

  Scenario - I have two data centers running ESX host stand-alone (with VM) in Europe. I need to build the new ESX host in new Dataceter to Singapore.

  Need prerequisites, the methods available for migrate VMWARE virtual has new host ESX (in the new data center) with minimum downtime.

  It will be great if you can enumerate the markets or redirect me to documentation that I can use to create detailed steps as the target host compatibility check on VMs and so on.

  Please advice

  The steps are correct. The virtual machine must be turned off (step 3).

• What is the best way to backup of virtual machines on a standalone ESX with the data store local

  Hello

  I want to save the virtual machines on a host ESX autonomous. and all of these virtual machines is the local data store.  What is the best way to save these virtual machines in this situation?

  And probably we don't provision VTL on the local data center, so it is possible to use VCB to backup? And VCB is a good choice compared to the traditional method that installs the backup client in each virtual machine?   Because I think that in this situation with the data store local, it cannot not reduced the load on ESX hosts and network overhead can be avoided.

  Thank you!

  > 1. VCB usable remote tape library? I mean it's not local library and uses the tape library to another network data center.

  VCB is completely unrelated to the tape library, it is a framework, not a backup solution. If your standard backup software can work with the remote tape library you can try it to ungrateful with VCB.

  > 2. what the difference bwteen hot - added NBD and modes if there is that an ESX host with store data local and want to use a virtual machine like VCB proxy? I think that they are the same: the VCB proxy read data through the I/O of the ESX host stack in this situation.

  NBD works on network and the backup traffic goes through the service console connection. Hot add uses special machine for assistance to connect vmdk to and uses of e/s disk stack instead of e/s network.

  > 3. Veeam Backup is free software?

  No, it isn't.

• Problem with Migration hot virtual machines Hyper-V

  Dear support

  I am facing problem in Live Migration of Virtual Machine in Windows 2012 of Hyper-V R2 cluster. Here are the details for my current setup.

  Two windows 2012 R2 Datacenter even care Server (HV01 and HV02) both in cluster

  A Virtual Machine created the Volume share of Cluster (c:\Cluster storage\...)

  A network adapter dedicated to the management of server-> 10.0.1.11 (HV01) and 10.0.1.13 (HV02)

  A network card dedicated to Hyper v Virtual Machines-> 10.0.1.12 (HV01) and 10.0.1.14 (HV02) and allow networking option is disabled.

  A network card for the heart beats-> 10.0.20.1 (HV01) and 10.0.20.2 (HV02)

  A network card dedicated for Live Migration-> 10.10.10.50 (HV01) and 10.10.10.51 (HV02) and chosen to be used only for the live migration fails on cluster network settings

  I added the Virtual Machine Cluster Failover successfully without error or warning. When I do a quick migration his works fine but when I do live migration his error giving 21502.

• I need to run a virtual machine, hyper v on my windows machine 8 with workstation 10

  I know that I can run a virtual machine in hyper v in v hyper customer, my question is if I turn the functionality hyper v on this will affect my 10 workstation install?

  As far as I know, that you can no longer start the vmx86 kernel driver once the HyperV role is activated.
  In previous HyperV versions that you could use a special startup parameter to disable the HyperV role for the next boot - so that you can run Workstation - but I don't know if it still works.

  So to summarize: HyperV and workstation cannot co-exist and be used one after the other - at the very least a reboot is required

• Newly converted Virtual Machine Windows 2003 contains no hard drive

  I'm looking on the advice of this problem.

  I used vConverter 4.0 to transform the four physical servers to virtual machines.  Two of my attempts ended in failure.  One was a standard Server Windows 2000 running as a web server. He just cut to 3% or 4%. Let this old trash server at the moment.

  The second is a Windows 2003 Web Edition Server.  The P2V process actually all the way!   But I can't start. I discovered that the physical server C drive was not there?  When you change the properties I see only one hard drive (it would have taken to 10 GB and 20 GB) it seemed to me that if the configuration in the setup of P2V has been misinterpreted?...

  Initially, I made it clear that the 51 GB drive C and 74 GB - D drive should become a 10 (only use 4.8) and a 20 GB (only 11.5 GB used).  Instead, I found myself with a huge 72GO disk in the virtual machine

  In this fourth attempt, trying now not to tamper with disk sizes and rely solely on provisioning.  And there is room for the 51 + 74 GB of disks on the ESXi host expected they exploit the full potential.

  But it really intrigues me I get a different result that I opted for in the configuration of the P2V.

  No explanation?

  The server in question is from the disks IDE and a legacy mainboard with an old Pentium 4 processor - not really a server.  On the other hand I have converted two physical successfully servers, just until I came across this problem. It was 12 to 14 years old Compaq DL380 G1 servers with SCSI disks.

  I think part of the problem is that you cannot change the type of IDE SCSI controller (it's in step 3). You can try the following steps, but if it was me I would just start the conversion, resizing disks you want and ensure are using a SCSI controller

• convert virtual machine with connected users

  Hello world

  Is is 'OK' to convert a small server terminal server on a virtual machine, while users are connected?

  It does not, as I have done this several times, but wanted to know for sure... what may be the consequences.

  I have more than one terminal Server and I want to keep a virtual copy, just in case tha hardware version breaks, so, I can get users upwards and while work on the virtual version while the equipment is repaired.

  Thank you!!

  Peter

  P2V server will you get at first, then slowly increase on the farm of virtual machines that provide services Terminal Server.   You may want to decommission the p2v version if problems occur.

• Restore the virtual machine to the new ESX box

  Hello

  I'm new on this.

  I recived a set of virtual machines to another place and I want to restore to the newly created ESX. I followed the steps below to restore.

  Recived files:

  XX_YY. NVRAM

  XX_YY.VMDK

  XX_YY.vmsd

  XX_YY.vmtx

  XX_YY - flat hard

  After I copy all the files above using WinSCP, I could find the "XX_YY.vmdk" is copied to the XX_YY.vmdk.flatfile' which I have one copy of another on the server with the old name using the command #cp XX_YY.vmdk.flatfile XX_YY.vmdk?

  I copied all of the above files using winscp client.

  Open the VI client and browse the storage

  right click on the "XX_YY.vmtx" and add to the inventory

  Add to the popup to open inventory and asks me to enter the name of the template and that I have provided.

  In the next window, I click on finsih, I see the error: "the operation is not supported on the object.

  Any Document that would tell me more info on how to restore / import VM in my newly created ESX box?

  Thanks in advance

  Krishna

  The files are in the format of model already if not the following.

  Simply import the vmdk into ESX using "vmkfstools", then search for the data store, right-click on the vmtx file and select Add to the inventory. Also, you can simply rename the vmtx to vmx file.

• Students who need assistance for a virtual machine to run on hyper-v inside vmware workstation 12

  OK sorry first time here. I am currently a student and I have windows running R2 server 2008 as a Workstation VM. I activated the Hyper-v technology and got of no problem, the question I meet is that when I go to start a virtual machine, hyper v, I get the error failed to initialize. Initially, I had a mistake before, who told me he failed because he would not score, I think I've fixed this error by changing the. VMX file. I need to be able to start these machines virtual hyper-v because I am doing some laboratories for a class. Ideas, suggestions or help would be appreciated.

  Thank you for taking the time to read. I have attached a few screenshots of the error.

  Your processor is a Haswell, that supports AVX.  This problem occurs because Windows Server 2008 R2 does not support the AVX feature. See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2517374 for a fix or a workaround.

• Get the list of virtual machines on an ESX host specific AND of a specific folder...

  I'm trying to get a list of the virtual machines running on an ESX host specific, but also are located in a specific folder.

  I think it must be something like that below, but for now without success:

  Get-vmhost $esx_hostname | Get-vm-location (get-record $folder_name( )
  giving the error message: Get - VM: the input object cannot be bound to all the settings for the command EIThim because
  the command does not pipeline or entry and its own input stakeholders do not match any parameters that accept entries of pipeline of.
  Any thoughts?
  Thank you!
  Eric

  VMHost and folder use the Get-VM-setting position. You must select either using the Where-Object cmdlet filter. For example:

  Get-VMHost $esx_hostname |
  Get-VM |
  Where-Object {$_.Folder.Name -eq $folder_name}
  

• Error: Running VMware ESX in a virtual machine requires the external virtual machine

  We are running ESX Vmware 5 on a virtual test in ESX 4.x environment and machine unable to start the virtual machine on Vmware ESX 5. with the following error.

  Error: -.

  Running on a virtual machine VMware ESX requires the external virtual machine is configured to run a VMware ESX guest operating system. You can not power on a virtual machine until the external virtual machine is reconfigured.

  We found after KB

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1030283

  Howerver, I'm not able to find the option

  1. Select the virtual machine that is running ESX.
  2. Go in VM > Settings.
  3. Click the Options tab.
  4. Select the General settings.
  5. Under Guest operating system , select VMware ESX.
  6. Click OK.

  We are not able to find this option in ESX 4, so we can run this VM.

  Please help urgently...

  Kind regards

  The log file looks good now.  However, it seems that ESX 4.0 is older than I remembered.  Please, add the following line to your ESX VM configuration file and try again:

  monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = TRUE

• Do we not have to change the settings for the virtual machine once moved from 2.5 ESX to vSphere 4.1?

  Hi guys,.

  I just wanted to check, once the virtual machines are migrated from ESX 2.5, 2.5 Vcenter to ESX 4.1, Vcenter 4.1 of the NFS datastore on the iSCSI data store.

  Do I have to make changes to the vm settings?

  To use the features to enhance available with ESX 4.1 what I need to change the virtual disk to logical Bus to LSI logic? What is recommended or is not serious?

  It will be very useful for me to know if there is any need for changes to be made other than on the virtual machine upgrade vmware tools.

  Thank you

  You try to run ESX 2.5 VM on ESX4.1, if that's the case then ESX 2.5 VM are not supported on ESX 4.1
