Import my own device from the host data store

This is my first post so Hello all who read this.

I am currently runing ESX 3.5i directly on the hardware of a test done home server (tests, the fonstionality before rolling it into production) here is my problem

I could create and install an a virtual machine (windows 2K 3 R2 server) and once all the basic configuration were made I exported the virtual machine as a unit. now, the comand export will only export file on the computer of gest. I was able to download the 2 files (hard and .ovf) on the host's data center. Now, I would like to deploy a new instance of the VM on the server. But when I drop & gt; virtual appliance & gt; I have only the option import from the hard drive of gest. I want to do it directly from the data store, so I did not download the file whenever I ride on a new virtual machine.

Just a note I will administer the trought host VPN exclusively in production so it'll take fo never download the entire server every time.

I hope that I was clear enough, if not feel free to ask questions.

Thank you!

Edit: spelling mistake little

Hello

So if I get this right I would create a virtual (windows XP for example) machine i would be VPN on this machine open a remote destop window there and then open the VMware console in this environment and then use it to make my new server deployment. Did I get it all?

That is right. The reason is mainly the latency. You will not have much and if the VPN interrupts the action you take also WITHOUT giving up and continue until you reconnect.

Can you tell me if there is a more easier way to do it?

It's the simplest way.

  • Disconnect from the storage data store

    We have two datacenters (Server Vcenter linked mode) - A & B

    Site servers A and B are replicated via san (at the end of storage no SRM)

    Note - what is the known issue in environmental - issues of SAN - every day there are stores in the event of disconnection from the storage data. (Question is 4 months old now). in the Windows Server performance issues.

    For the recommended HP fix update the firmwares of controller on both sites (3 HP EVA controllers) which has been successfully complete however problem has not been resolved.

    There are a lot of outages caused by the problem of storage in the environment. As an example under Server is unresponsive due to the store being disconnected from data storage.

    What about port enc on connected to EVA in SAN switches? You have CRC errors and if so, whether the counter has increased? Reset the counter if necessary so that you can monitor it.

  • Possible to deploy the OVF model directly from the local data store?

    Hey all,.

    I'm trying to optimize the consumption of resources and the speed of deployment of models of the FVO in ESXi 4.  Of course, the fastest and most effective way to do so would be to have the models of the FVO in a data store and deploy them directly to another (two stores on the same host).  That's what I'm trying to accomplish.

    Problem seems to be that when you use the vSphere client to deploy templates of the FVO, even when you point to the URL of the model on the same host (via http to the data store access) system, the vSphere client again retrieves the ESXi host files, then transfer their return.  So using twice the bandwidth on the host and the client system necessary.

    Does anyone know if it is possible to perform the deployment of a model of the FVO keeping all internal transfer to the ESXi host?  If anyone knows another method more effective than what I'm trying to achieve, I'm open to suggestions.

    All advice is appreciated.

    Thank you!

    -Ben

    The only way I can see that you can keep the internal traffic to the ESX host would be to have the vSphere client in a virtual machine running on the host computer, and configure your internal network Ms keep all traffic to the host

  • remove the Cluster data store data store

    I have an infrastructure with vCenter and ESXi 4 5.5 I have a data cluster store in SAN with 8 Mon, I need to remove 3 Lun (to be used for other purposes) what is the appropriate procedure

    to remove the Lun (end then to destroy)? Thank you

    Do you want the LUN to use for purpose of non-vSphere? If so, you can just storage vMotion virtual machines since associated LUN data warehouses that you want to decommission (or simply putting the data store in maintenance mode, in this way, that the virtual machines will automatically be migrated). Cleaning after the data store, move the data store from the cluster data store, and then delete the VMware environment data store as described here: best practices: how to properly remove a unit number logic of a host ESX - VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs

  • Display of the VM in the incorrect data store

    Hello

    I have 4 data warehouses and I've migrated a few VM data (DS) to another store, but when I discovered the 'data warehouses' in client VI still the virtual machine appears in the list on the old data store.

    I have traveled the old DS and I can confirm no there are the virtual machine and the .vmx file points to the new location in the settings of the virtual machine, so why the virtual machine appears in the list of the old (source) DS?

    Do you have something (for example ISO) attached to the virtual machine that may still reside on the old data store?

    Review the vmx file (downloadable from the browser data store) and check that there is no reference to the old data store.

  • Store of data deleted from the host, always present in vCenter?

    I had some performance issues with my iSCSI connection on my QNAP SAN, so I decided to go NFS instead. Much better now, but the old store of iSCSI ("store 1") data is still present in vCenter, even though I removed from the host.

    http://i.snag.gy/6uQs9.jpg

    I do not know I did something wrong, but what can I do about it?

    Your virtual machine has snapshots active and/or .iso or .flp mapped images to their readers of disc-CD-ROM CD / floppy drive virtual, that were on the old data store?

  • Add the host Cluster in the Cluster data store

    How can I add host/HostCluster in the Cluster data store after the cluster data store is created. I know that we can add at this time, when you create the cluster data store, but how can we add it as soon as it is created?

    I think that as long as the new host has access to all the LUNS that comprise data warehouses in the cluster data store, then no further action is necessary.

    Make sure just that if using CF then zoning is configured correctly and the LUNS are not hidden from the new host.

    Also, make sure you restart the analysis for new data warehouses on your new host so that it can detect data warehouses

    First VMware is a company not a product and you didn't say what VMware product you use no you said what OS is on the host or the guest then I suggest you read the VMware product documentation that you are using.  In general, if the Virtual Machine works in the same way a physical Machine so you can do the same between the host and guest in dealing with clients as if it were a physical Machine.

    If you have VMware Tools installed in the comments you can also take advantage of VMware shared folders and or the functionality of Drag and Drop on pris supported operating systems.
