• Report on the ability of virtual machines VMware Cluster

  We started to evaluate Foglight for capacity planning and evaluation. One of the reports that I believe is interested in our leadership is the "ability of virtual machines VMware Cluster" report. I see that the report provides a value for the VMS remaining. I would like to learn a little more about this value and how is it calculated:

  1. What exactly a 'virtual machine' represents in these reports?
  2. Can a similar report to run using a specific type of server based on the allocation of resources or patterned after an existing VM wokload?

  We are a small, medium and large VM offering based on the allocation of resources. I would like to change the report to display the number of each type of virtual machine I have available... or pointer pointing to an existing virtual machine, and according to its resources and workload, determine how this server, I have available.

  It is based on the average size of the virtual machine in the cluster.  If you look at the dashboard of capacity management in the user interface, it can give you more details by cluster.  It is based on the average of the use of min/max/AVG across all virtual machines in a period given (usually 90 days).  This can not be changed today, but there is work to allow lets you specify a size of slot for something as small, medium, large, etc...

  This feature exists in the Foglight for virtualization, however Standard Edition.  It might be interesting to watch this, if you need it sooner.

• Run the script inside the virtual machine the user when the user connects or reconnects

  Hello

  is it possible to detect the user that the user has connected or reconnected to his office inside the virtual machine and run a script?

  It is also possible within the VM user to determine if the user is connected and how long?

  One way to do this is via the following powershell command, but this only works if the user is connected through PCoIP Protocol.

  Get-WmiObject-class Win32_PerfRawData_TeradiciPerf_PCoIPSessionGeneralStatistics - SessionDurationSeconds property

  Best regards

  > it is possible to detect the user that the user has connected either reconnected to his office inside the virtual machine and run a script?

  You can run scripts as user on login and reconnect, this has been a feature since 3.0. See running commands on the desktop view.

  > It is possible inside the VM user to determine if the user is connected and how long?

  I don't think that we expose, but you should be able to query Windows for the connection time, or you could write the last time to connect with a script (maybe that is the reason for your first question?).

• VirtualBox 64-bit inside a virtual machine

  I need to configure a machine virtual 64 bit Windows 8.1 on my VMWare environment.  Inside, I need to run a virtual 64-bit with VirtualBox machine.  I installed Windows on the virtual machine and install VirtualBox, however, I can't show him 64-bit... Only 32-bit.  I added vhv.enable = "TRUE" in the VMX file (seen this somewhere) and assured of Hyper-V has not been installed on the machine Windows 8.1.  Any other suggestions as to what I'm missing?

  ESXi 6.0.0 3620759

  did you select the check box for "expose assisted hardware virtualization for the guest OS" under settings of the virtual computer processor?

  You can see this option using the new built-in host client or web client.

• Unable to start the CD player Win2003 Server / removable on the virtual machine: VMware-8(Host: Win7)

  

  Hello

  I am unable to start Win 2003 Server CD disk / removable on a Virtual Machine (the two VMWare 6 and 8). The snap-snap-in error is attached. I have the right configuration of the BIOS to Boot priority, but is taking the PXE ROM option.

  Please help me.

  Thank you

  Hello

  1. it doesn't matter that the 'connected' is checked which is normal. "Connect at power on" is important and must be checked that it is on the screenshot.

  2. now, change the "autodetect" option to point to your 'real' cdrom device (that this laptop has).

  3 If this does not convert your cdrom ISO image 2003 and load through the second option that says "use an iso image.

  4. If this still does not work there is only one possible "your 2003 cdrom is NOT bootable. The fact that it autoruns IN Win7 does not mean that is bootable. You should check by placing it in a different machine of cdrom, restart this computer, bios in order to boot from CDROM/DVD first and see if the change boots. If it does not start even from there then for sure this cd is NOT bootable. So, the important thing is to load the cd on time to start and not inside the operating system to work.

  5. try to download an iso of the trial of the internet windows Server 2003 and use that one to see what is happening.

  6. create a new virtual machine and try here or even better to try another machine with Workstation 8 and see what happens.

  7. it is no coincidence if the CD-ROM drive is not recognized within the virtual machine.

• Trouble using NI USB-4065 with virtual machine VMWare

  Hello

  I'll be working with a virtual machine (windows xp) and I need to use an NI USB-4065 DMM.

  When I connect the USB-4065 to the PC, the virtual windows xp recognizes the new HW and also MAX display the new device on the list DAQmx.

  It seems ok, but if I try to use the USB-4065 (open the soft cover or in a LabView VI), the device does not work.

  If I use the frontpanel app, when I click a botton, the Group seems to work but doesn't measure anything; If I try to reboot the softpanel, it works and 'freeze' of the screen.

  If I use LabView, the VI returns an error on a maximum duration of the measure.

  I'm trying to use the device on the real machine (not with VMware) USB-4065 works, whith flexible Panel and whith VI.

  I update the driver of the DMM on the virtual machine, beats the device still doesn't work.

  ... I don't have any other idea, can anyone help me with this problem?

  Thanks, SEM.

  Hi John,.

  This isn't good news for my project but peronny for more information.

• Access to the BlackBerry through the USB port on the virtual machine VMWare

  I have my development environment configuration in VMWare virtual machine, and I have no problems of deployment of BlackBerry applications on a simulator that runs as another virtual machine. The problem starts when I try deploying to the device via the USB port. The address is assigned when the mode of development on the device is not accessible from the VM, but only from my host, who do me any good, since as I said my IDE is in the virtual machine. A way to solve this problem? I can still deploy to the device via wi - fi (which is btw access via different ip - one given by the network) by this can sometimes be slow depending on the strength of the signal, etc, so I prefer to be able to deploy via the USB port.

  Just in case anyone has the same problem, how to activate must, VMWare Player click on the USB icon (to the right) and choose to disconnect from the host. Connecting the USB port at the prompt. Stupid...

• How to move the Virtual Machine VMWare Workstation 10 to a completely different computer

  I have a laptop that is going to become my 'old' laptop, I bought and am always set up a new computer.

  I have a VM THAT evolution created on the 'old' portable using VMWare Workstation 10.  I installed the software VMWare Workstation 10 on the new laptop computer and am ready to move to the existing VM development since the old laptop again to continue the development of software on the virtual machine to the new machine.

  I never moved a computer virtual from one computer to another, and I guess that all I have to do is to copy and move the folder and all its content from the old laptop to the new, and then I'll be back in business?

  Just make sure it is this simple before doing so.

  Thanks for any input.

  It's as simple as that. When you start in the new machine, it should ask if you copied or moved. Answer that you moved it will keep the same MAC address and you will not be able to connect the two copies at the same time. You copied it saying assigns a new MAC and they both can connect, but a Windows machine can ask to reactivate. Seems to me he asked also to reactivate when I copied it for an Intel system AMD system, but it was a long time ago

• Virtual machines VMware Player 6.0.3 gel.

  I had a problem with VMware Player 6.0.3. All my guests freeze finally after awhile. This seems to happen more often with my Linux VM rather than my windows VM. The two become very annoying.

  I tried to adjust memory and its use, but it doesn't seem to work.

  My temporary solution is only a pause virtual machines and run again. Graphics performance are poor thereafter.

  Someone at - it experience something like this?

  Hi Jmattson,

  It seems to me I found the problem and it is fixed. I had added the following line to the VMX file:

  sound.bufferTime = "200".

  Apparently, the problem can be associated with buffer as I had very chopped him reading audio and video of the virtual machine just before it freezes. This may be due to move from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 as a host operating system.

• How to get the host name of the physical computer inside a virtual machine until the user logs in Windows?

  I don't know if this is the right place to post this question, I develop software to support VMWare PCoIP and need to know how to get the host name of the physical machine (which manages the virtual machine and View Client) within a virtual machine before the user logs in Windows of the virtual machine.

  I understand there are two ways to read the host name, via the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment registry and environment variables, but they are available once the user is connected. I need info before the user connects.

  Is there a VMware API that can be called or asked the host name?

  Thank you.

  Not on the broker, but there are the startup scripts to log on to the computer virtual itself: http://pubs.vmware.com/view-52/topic/com.vmware.view.integration.doc/view_integration_startsession_script.9.2.html

  Note that these executed when a virtual desktop computer allocated connection, not to the point that the client connects - it is possible for the customer to not complete the connection (crash, cancel, network failure) and so any what solution you design must handle this.

• Is it possible to programmatically retrieve the MAC address of a virtual machine VMware

  Can anyone suggest to programmatically retrieve the MAC address of a VMware virtual machine.

  I need a code for the above features.

  Post edited by: AntonVZhbankov

  Corrected in Hyper-V to VMware

  Now that I have a code in front of me, you can try essentially this:

  
  // MAC Variable
  string MACAddress;
  
  // Get Config Info (hardware)
  vmConfigInfo = (VirtualMachineConfigInfo)myAPI.getProperties(vmRef, new String[1] {"config"});
  
  //Iterate through devices
  foreach (VirtualDevice vDv in vmConfigInfo.hardware.device)
  {
      try
      {
          VirtualEthernetCard mycard = (VirtualEthernetCard)vDv;
          MACAddress = mycard.macAddress;
      }
      catch
      {
      }
  }
  

  Basically what's happening hear, you are pulling all the pieces of virtual hardware and iterate through them. If the piece is a network card, copy the following code will be able to cast an and pull up on the Mac. Otherwise, the cast fails and he is going to move. If you have multiple network cards, you want to add the mac to an array of strings, or something to keep account of more than one.

  This code assumes that you have connected and you have a way to make the configuration of the virtual machine property. The function 'getProperty' in the present code referring to my own function, not one in VMWare. If you don't know how to do this, just post back here and I know there are examples of pages out there anyone can post to explain this part.

• All Virtual Machines VMware corrupted?

  I can't access one of my virtual machines.  There is a small red box on the icon of the virtual machine.  The VMWare Workstation says that the virtual machine appears to be in use, but I know for a fact that they have been closed.  Now, I can't access any of them: Ubuntu 64-bit, Windows 98, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Professional, all real CD I own.  Don't know what happened, they worked very well the other day?  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

  Sincerely,

  Markerline

  Yep - if you lock files and delete lock directories.

  They sometimes are not cleaned after a host or a crushing of VMware

• Outside dimensions of the virtual machine significantly excceds the HD inside the virtual machine

  Hi, I have a VM workstation running on Windows 2003 server 64-bit (host).  I am running a Windows 2003 32-bit server in a virtual machine (my server, Sagarmatha).  My server has 40 GB of HD available to it.  When I do a "dir" on the host command, it is using 92.5 GB!  Now, I can fully understand that space for a (prealloue) 40 GB VM could take up to 45 GB or more, but I'm choking on 92.5 Go!  (My problem lies in the backup it.)

  I accept that some HD will be consumed a 40 GB VM running, but why some last dates used are more than a year (for example, Sargarmatha - flat hard)?

  What can remove without harming my VM?  I'm glad to get rid of snapshots too, if it would make much difference.  What is the Sagarmatha-000001 and-000002 for?

  I appreciate people looking at it for me, and I look forward to your responses.

  Tim

  Hey, it's your shots that take the place. If you make snapshots, which will free up space, so you come up to about 40 GB (could be patient, it may take awhile loong commit / remove snapshots of this size...). It is not advisable to leave the snapshots for too long (in my business, that the policy is about a week) - one of the reasons is exactly the problem that you have encountered, it is difficult to control disk consumption.
