• Script to import virtual machines from data warehouses

  Is there a quick way to import all of the virtual machines on a data store in a vCenter?  A kind of browse VMX files and import?

  More to the point.  I have the only store of data that has been moved to a new location with approximately 100 VM on it.  I want to import all the virtual machines on this unique to a single host data store to the new location.

  Thank you

  You can specify the name of this 1 data store in the variable $Datastores .

  And if you change this line

  $ESXHost= Get-Cluster$Cluster| Get-VMHost|select-First1

  in

  $ESXHost=Get-VMHost -Name MyEsx

  It should do the trick.

• Deletes a virtual machine of vCenter possible?

  Hi all.

  We used to be a Horizon view manual pool composed of virtual machines
  from vCenter server. In a single operation for removal of VM in view, we

  wrong selected pool and confirmed the deletion. The

  operation put merrily and when we realized the error, we

  find vsphere client that all VMs funds (a lot of them

  were running) in the manual pool view both were removed from the inventory

  and from the disc in vCenter server.

  This offends and confuses us. It is commonly accepted that it is
  Cannot delete a virtual machine running of vCenter: vSphere client no
  won't give you a possibility to do so, and doing so in a CROWD ends by default.
  But the view above disaster might suggest otherwise.

  I have two questions:
  1. is it possible to delete a virtual machine running of vCenter?
  2. If so, how to prevent in vCenter?
  3. (somewhat off topic) is it possible to come up with any hacking or

  This makes it impossible to remove vm disk Office while being

  able to manipulate the view of the pool? We prefer to rather in vCenter.

  =====================================
  The mistake that we made to remove all the Horizon view desktop VMs:
  1. login to VMware view Horizon administrator.
  2. based on the inventory, select the pool.
  3. in the view of the pool, select the tab "inventory."
  4. Select and right click on a desktop PC, select 'delete pool... '. »
  5. confirm the deletion.

  Software used:
  vCenter Server: 5.5.0, 1945274
  View of the horizon: 5.3.1 generation-1634134

  Hello Sun Nathalie,

  Finally, I was able to create your question on my test bench, but as I said earlier, it is not possible to remove a power on the virtual machine, which was true. When I deleted the pool which consists of power on VM, I saw in the VC that VM were power off first and delete.

  I also talk to the team from the horizon and they said that this device is designed this way to support several other features. To save accidental deletion of the s VM that they introduced the warning message.

  Sorry for your loss.

  Thank you

• Import a virtual machine from a backup of Symantec .sv2i

  I need to create a virtual machine from the backup of a Windows physical box created with one of the latest versions of Symantec BESR.

  VMware Converter Standalone documentation reading - I see that only the backup made with Symantec BESR 8.5 and earlier files are supported.

  Can someone please provide a solution or at least advice?

  Concerning

  Marius

  Hello

  You can create a temp disk (VMDK) to an existing virtual machine, and then put your backup file on the disk.

  Detach the VMDK and then assign to a new virtual machine as a second disc (the virtual machine you need to restore the backup to that).

  Then start the virtual machine of the Symantec BESR startup disk and restore the secondary drive on the first disk backup file.

  After that detach and remove the second disk.

  Of curse, this solution may not work after restoration because you made the physics of the machine backup and restore to a virtualized platform.

• Move a virtual machine from one host to another without vCenter Server

  Hi all

  Something's been recently who raised the question on moving a virtual machine between hosts without vCenter.  I am running vSphere manage 3 blades in a c3000.  I have a shared storage iSCSI blade which all the blades connect to.  All of my virtual machines are in the same data store on the shared storage.  I'm also under vCenter Server as a virtual machine on one of the blades.  The blade that hosts the vCenter Server VM dead recently. What I was hoping to do is use vSphere Client to connect directly to one of the other blades and hover over the vCenter Server VM to one of the blades of the good, but I can't find a way to do this.  Using the browser of data store and see all of the virtual machine on the store of data without problem, but I see no way to migrate the virtual machine without vCenter server.  In the end, the blade has only had a problem of memory I corrected and managed to raise the blade but I now think of the future.  I use only Essentials, so I don't have access to vMotion and Storage vMotion.  I know that running vCenter Server is supported by Vmware, but I wonder if it's the best practices.

  Any thoughts?

  Hi, I assume that you get this error because the machine is running, try to connect directly to the host and do the same with an engine off the machine.

• vcenter feature will work properly if my virtual machine to vcenter fail?

  Hello

  1 if my vcenter server machine was stopped or failed and in this time if my esxi host does not HA will or not?

  2 - if a month my judgment of the vcenter server or not will work work vcenter features such as HA and drs and...?

  Best regards

  Yes, if vCenter descends from VMware HA master node will take care to restart virtual machines from the host failed to other hosts that are running.

  DRS will not work if the vCenter server is not available.

  If you keep your vCenter down for a month, then that certainly creates questions about virtual infrastructure management.

  See this URL for the list of features that works and that will not work if vCenter isn't available.

• Move virtual machines from a to another data store

  Is there a recommended (or integrated) way to move propelled out of virtual machines from a data store? Or is it a cut simple and working of dough which can be done from any client PC connected to the underlying storage providers?

  If both, store data Source and Destination are connected to the same server vCenter, do Storage vMotion. Make a right-click VM--> migrate--> change of data store and select the Destination data store.

• vCO workflow: create a virtual machine from a model and then ask the user about the CPU, memory size...

  Hi guys,.

  I am trying to create a workflow with vCO that can do the job for me:

  -Create a virtual machine (or maybe a several virtual machines) from a model (the model is in vCenter, of course)

  -L' user who is running the workflow has the thr right to say what he wants for the CPU, the memorysize, the disksize

  Any help?

  I found some workflows in the library can seem to do something similar to what I want, but since I'm a beginner I'd rather have your advice

  Hello there and welcome to vCenter Orchestrator

  Take a look at this series of tutorials to get an idea of how start:

  Create a vCO simple self-service VM Provisioning Portal - part 1

  Create a vCO simple self-service VM Provisioning Portal - part 2

  Create a Simple Self Service VM Provisioning Portal vCO - part 3

  The general approach to take would be to determine which of the clone (or clone and customize) workflows adapts to your nearest need (see your customer vCO: workflows\Library\vCenter\Virtual Machine management\Clone\)

  Then, create a NEW WORKFLOW that calls this one... after that your clone operation is complete, keep the computer turned off virtual and add feeds of extra work from the library to your new workflow that do things like change the amount of Ram, adds disks, change CPU, etc...

  Be sure to watch the videos on http://www.vmwarelearning.com/orchestrator to get a basic understanding of the use of vCO.

• Deploy a new virtual machine from a template

  Is there a workflow avaiable to deploy a new virtual machine from a template?  I tried using the Clone Virtual Machine, no workflow customization but receive an error saying, "task"CloneVM_Task"error: a specified parameter was not correct."
  "Spec.Location.pool (name of the dynamic Script Module: vim3WaitTaskEnd #20).

  When I use a template as a source of VM.

  I can't find any documents pointing to the deployment of the model.

  Hello

  It's the right workflow, but you must provide a pool of valuable resources for this workflow. If you do not resource pools, it can be shown in a vCO to root in the inventory (vCenter does not work).

• How to move virtual machines from one host to another without full VI and vMotion?

  Hello

  could you help me with a question?

  I have two installed hosts with ESXi 3.5 U5, which are connected to the shared iSCSI (Openfiler) - VMs storage are installed on the storage disk. My requirement is to have a cheap solution of DR - in case of failure of a host, I need to move and start VM on the host of work. How to achieve without going through VMware Infrastructure 3.5 and vMotion?

  I found this article:

  http://www.virtualizetips.com/2010/04/how-to-move-a-VM-without-vCenter-or-storage-VMotion/

  but RCLI needs Infrastructure of VMware ESXi does not have default CLI So, how to move VMs between hosts (of course I mean "cold" move) without byuing any additonal VMware SW? It is generally possible in my situation?

  Thank you.

  Danas

  If the virtual machines are running in shared storage (two guests see the same storage iSCSI or NFS) then it's simple. If a host goes down, then look for the data store on the ESXi host work. Navigate through folders for each virtual machine, right-click on the VMX file and add to the inventory. You will then be able to turn on the virtual machine.

  To move a virtual machine from one host to another, as long as both hosts had the same processors, you can pause the VM on the single host, browse and add the virtual machine to the inventory on the second break host and the United Nations.

  If the virtual machines are on local storage, but the two hosts are connected to the same shared storage, clone virtual machines on a daily basis from local storage to shared storage. Use something like ghettoVCB http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8760 make the clone. In the case of a server failure, you will be able to browse the data store, add to the inventory on the shared storage and switch the cloned machine.

• Simple Question - How to move virtual machines from 1 box to another?

  Hello

  I'm new to VMware products so please bare my stupidity.

  I have 2 servers I received vSphere on. They have all two internal storage (SAN No. still ) which means I can't take advantage of vMotion. So that leaves me to figure out how would one move a Virtual Machine from one box to the other? I currently have two boxes configured with a vCenter Server under 1 datacenter server.

  The simplest solution (considering vCenter) is cold using migrate operation.

• Creating new virtual machine from an another vm

  I installed VMware ESXi 3.5 and that you have created a virtual machine to Windows Server 2003. I would like to use this virtual machine as a model to create other virtual machines. How to create a new virtual machine from a virtual machine existing? What is the best practice? Thank you.

  stop the virtual machine in question, and "the clone to a template.  You can then deploy oversized.  Make sure you have all of the sysprep files that are located in the right place.

  You wan to watch this .pdf, even if a small wedge, it might be useful

• Virtual machine from Windows XP to Windows 7 Professional

  Two years ago the virtual machine from Windows XP was installed on my laptop which has Windows 7 Professional.  I use version XP for playing games is not compatible on Windows 7.  Everything worked well until a few weeks ago.  I was unable to open the games.  An error message window is displayed when I click to start the game.  "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG. NT.  The file system not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications.  Choose 'Close' to terminate the application. "The top border of the window says error message"16 bit Windows subsystem.   Any ideas.

  After temporarily off any protection, I tried restore and recovery without success.  Error message says that both failed.

  Please keep in mind that I'm completely computer illiterate.  Thank you.

• Migrate virtual machines from HP G7(single host) for HP G8 (Cluster) without shared storage

  Hello

  I have 2 esxi host (hp dl 380 G8) and put them in a cluster and other host esxi (dl 380 g7) and I have no shared storage and use local disks just now I must spend my VM G7 server a cluster of the G8 but I want to know I can join my cluster g8 g7 and migrate web vmware machines without any downtime?

  I want to know can migrate without downtime with localdisk? I have no shared storage

  Best regards

  BAbak

  can I join g7 to my cluster of the g8

  You can mix into clusters hosts all desired, even Intel and AMD at least that you enable EVC on the cluster (of course, HA or DRS require shared storage compatible/CPU). However, you need not to have even just cluster hosts to migrate virtual machines through vMotion between them.

  migrate web vmware machines without any downtime?

  Don't know what this "web vmware' but yes, because ESXi 5.1, you can use"enhanced vMotion"to live migrate virtual machines without service interruption from one host to another, even without shared storage:

  Migration with vMotion in environments without shared storage

  The usual vMotion requirements apply. Also you can only live migrate virtual machines from the old host to the new hosts because of different generations of CPU (and back as long as you don't have bike powered virtual machines on new hosts).
