• Impossible to get 'notes' of the virtual machine

  I tried to use a powershell script to get information from the virtual machine. I can get VMHost, VMname and GuestVersion using the script in the following, but failed to get the notes of the virtual machine. Anyone know why I can't get notes, please help me with that. Thank you in advance.

  report = @)
  foreach ($vmView in (Get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine))
  {
  $report += $vmView. Select-Object @{Name = "$vmhost"; Expression = {($vmView.Runtime.Host Get-View).} Name}},
  @{Name = "VMName"; Expression = {$_.} Name}},
  @{Name = 'Notes'; Expression = {$_.} Description}},

  @{Name = "GuestVersion"; {Expression = {$vmView.Guest.GuestFullName}}
  }
  $report | Sort-Object VMName-descending | Export-Csv "d:\vm_GuestVersion.csv" - NoTypeInformation

  There is no need to do it with the cmdlet Get-View.

  You can do

  $report = @()foreach ($vm in Get-VM){    $report += $vm | `        Select-Object @{Name="VMHost"; Expression={($_.Host).Name}},            @{Name="VMName"; Expression={$_.Name}},            @{Name="Notes"; Expression={$_.Description}},            @{Name="GuestVersion"; Expression={$_.Guest.OSFullName}}}$report | Sort-Object VMName -Descending | Export-Csv "d:\vm_GuestVersion.csv" -NoTypeInformation
  

  If you want to do with the cmdlet Get-View for any reason, you can do

  $report = @()
  foreach ($vmView in (Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine))
  {
      $report += $vmView | `        Select-Object @{Name="VMHost"; Expression={(Get-View $vmView.Runtime.Host).Name}},
              @{Name="VMName"; Expression={$_.Name}},
              @{Name="Notes"; Expression={$_.Config.Annotation}},
              @{Name="GuestVersion"; Expression={$vmView.Guest.GuestFullName}}
  }
  $report | Sort-Object VMName -Descending | Export-Csv "d:\vm_GuestVersion.csv" -NoTypeInformation
  

  But note that as you need a view of the GET each time for the host name, performance will suffer.

• Alarms / opinion on the use of the virtual machine JAVA Perm Gen

  Hi team,

  I need to configure alarms / Notification each time that the use of the virtual machine JAVA Perm Gen is greater than a threshold value. I don't see all the default rules / corresponding to Perm Gen registry variables.

  Could you please enlighten us in how I can achieve... ?

  A screenshot is attached for your reference.

  Kind regards

  I tested it after the previous message which was released indicating that you have an error, the nice thing about Foglight is that it allows to see the measures that exist (as you noted the names are a bit different in this case as the example of the JVM) and it also gives you a test button to validate the expression) , don't forget to make sure that she only appliese to the things that have names like Perm if you want it calculated only for generations of perm.

  

  

  Can you please define this thread as answered.

• Use of the virtual machine / machine is safe?

  I have windows 8.1 pro I want to use operating systems diferrent/test I use virtual box to install the OS on my laptop, it will be useful for me to install os without data lost, but I noticed that when I run the VM my system's struggle

  can I use the virtual machine on my laptop without care or stop using it please help

  Hello

  It is very good for the material.

  But follow the steps above, then you don't take too much of your main operating system resources when you install virtualbox.

• Disk space used by the Virtual Machine

  I'm under VMWare Fusion worm / 3.1.4 on a MacBookPro 2010 with Windows XP Pro installed.  In My Documents, there is a folder called "Virtual Machines".  It has a file in it, "Windows XP Pro 2.vmwarevm".

  The problem is that this file is 121,95 gigabytes!  Nearly half of the size of my hard drive.

  
  

  Question 1.  Does this make any sense?

  Question 2.  This file size can be reduced to something reasonable?

  
  

  Thank you!

  According to the information of the beam support Virtual Machine has 8, not 7, Snapshots.

  Without a support package for now present the only other suggestion is to delete all the snapshots, and then reduce the virtual hard disk of the applet of control panel of VMware Tools in Windows, and then Clean Up drive from the drives Panel in the settings of the Virtual Machine.

• Checking configuration of the Virtual Machine NIC

  Hello people.

  I put in a virtual infrastructure that separates discrete security (DMZ/Intranet/Extranet/etc.) areas using port groups.  My main concern is to ensure that VM is not accidentally bridged for port groups on two separate security zones.  Someone is aware of a third party or tools included that will allow me to list and checking the configuration of virtual NETWORK map of all VM in my data center?  We use ESX 3.5 and Virtual Center 2.5.

  Thank you...

  Did you watch NetWrix VMware Reporter?  It will monitor and audit of your VMware changes and much more.  Have you thought about streamlining your authorization center VC so that no one else can reach your VM and more groups specified admin settings.  You can then use the tasks & events to see what activities were conducted by users / specific actions.  We have implemented strict access to our systems of VC and the Strip unnecessary permissions to that effect.

• Generate the CSV file to the virtual machine by using get-stat statistics

  Hi all

  I put my VC for taking samples every 5 minutes for 3 days.

  I would create a PowerCLI script that I can then run on an ad hoc basis to connect to my VC and to get the details for ALL of the virtual machines that are managed by this CR and fill in a CSV (c:\foo.csv):

  • Name of the virtual machine

  • The ESX VM host is currently sitting

  • total number of virtual processors assigned to VM

  • total memory allocated to the VM

  • memory active average used by the virtual machine in the 3 days using samples of 5 minutes

  • average mhz CPU used by VM spent 3 days using samples of 5 minutes

  I have attached a sample file XLS of CSV output should look like.

  If anyone can give me a code to achieve or get on well on my way, I would appreciate it a lot.

  Kind regards

  Alex

  OK, so what you want is something like this then?

  Get-VM | Where {$_.PowerState -eq "PoweredOn"} |
   Select Name, Host, NumCpu, MemoryMB,
             @{N="Cpu.UsageMhz.Average";E={[Math]::Round((($_ | Get-Stat -Stat cpu.usagemhz.average -Start (Get-Date).AddHours(-72) -IntervalMins 5 -MaxSamples (12) | Measure-Object Value -Average).Average),2)}},
             @{N="Mem.Usage.Average";E={[Math]::Round((($_ | Get-Stat -Stat mem.usage.average -Start (Get-Date).AddHours(-72) -IntervalMins 5 -MaxSamples (12) | Measure-Object Value -Average).Average),2)}}
  

  I think that the issue that you have with the missing stat might be to do with your logging levels in VC, if these are not set correctly it will not save these stats for this period of time.

  What do you get if you do a simple:

  get-vm "SingleVM" | Get-Stat -Stat cpu.usagemhz.average
  

  If you found this information useful, please consider the allocation of points for correct or helpful.

• is it possible to access the virtual machine when the network is down...

  Hello. He... IAM wondering is it possible that we can access the virtual machine when the network is down... (Because of power outages or when the fluctuations...) ................?

  Is it possible that I can configure my Virtual Machine...?

  Thank you and best regards...

  Hello

  Not really...

  For an environment hosted... If you can access the console of the host, you can always access the console of the virtual machine regardless of the State of the network outside of the console. VMware Workstation, Fusion and server all fall into this category.

  For ESXi/ESX... you need a host outside to access the console of the virtual machine. ESX and ESXi not displayed graphics or VMs of their consoles and management devices. So, you need an external machine that can run the vSphere Client or access to the virtual machine via RDP, VNC according to Guest OS involved or SSH.

• How the snapshot of the virtual machine?

  Hi all

  We use the VDI in our Organization. We use Linked clones.

  I have to recompose all pools each week. And to recompose some users will be connected to the virtual machine. So, generally, I select wait for logof users recompose. But some of the virtual machine are not getting laid, even though the disconnection of users due to the task request has expired error. And we manually recomposing machines.

  Is it possible to know the snapshot, used by the virtual machine to the pool in the blink of an eye (i.e. What snapshot it uses if a new or old)

  Otherwise, I have to check with each virtual computer and details of the snap of this virtual machine manually. We have 900 such VMS in my environment.

  Thanks in advance.

  Go to the inventory pool, - 'See composer details' and sort on the column "last image".

• The Virtual Machine encryption

  All,

  I have a client that requires encryption at the virtual machine level. I was wondering what products are available and what users experience is.  The requirement is to have an end to end data encryption. We are looking at the possibility of offering it at the virtual machine level to meet their requirement.

  Ephillipsme

  Hello

  If you are using VMware ESX/ESXi encryption within the virtual machine (at the level of the guest OS) is the only option. As the use of BitLocker for windows or TrueCrypt for other operating systems. Just be aware that these two options to store the keys in memory and any system administrator can also access the memory at any time. So if you trust your admins it's an operation relatively safe.

  If you put data in the cloud then watch in secure Cloud.

  As now, there is no third party encryption tool, nor is it a tool built into ESX/ESXi.

  There is NO tool to encrypt the ESX/ESXi to level "VM" which is just below the guest operating system. VMware workstation has this ability, but requires you to enter a startup key and if you have lots of virtual machines that become extremely painful.

• Could not power on VM: no space is available on the device: cannot power on the virtual machine.

  VMware esx ei, 3.5.0 123629

  Physical memory: 64 GB

  Hard drive: 1.63 TB

  7 virtual machines. 5 of them are configured with 4 GB memory and 2 of them with 2 GB of memory. I am able to power on 3 virtual machines with 4 GB of memory.

  When I try to turn on 4th VM with 2 GB of memory, I get this error message "could not power on VM: no space is available on the device: cannot power on VM.»

  I would like to know if this is the limitation of the ESX Server? How should I size the memory for VMS if I want to run every 7 virtual machines to the

  Moreover, given that I have 64 GB of physical memory. Is there documentation that provides a report of the maximum allowed memory configurable

  compared to the virtual memory?

  Thank you

  Ganesh.

  Ganesh,

  Memory reservations are defined based on VM by VM.

  You can allocate more memory to the virtual machines you have in your host (it's not really a good idea to go crazy with the overcommitment of memory, but some level of excessive pressure is used in general).  Memory applied to your VM resources are shares, bookings and VMkernel Swap limits.

  Just to illustrate:

  You allocate 8 GB memory to a virtual computer.  If you take all the parameters by default, ESX will allot a 8 GB VMkernel Swap file in the base directory of your VM (it will have the extension ".vswp") this VMkernel Swap file is a safety net.  Your virtual machine, at this stage, can consume up to 8 GB of memory If physics is available from the host.  If the memory of your host is overcommitted, some of the available memory 8 GB could be allocated on 8 GB VMkernel Swap file.

  If you set a reserve of memory - 2 GB - this means that the vmkernel will still award the first 2 GB of memory used by the virtual machine to the physical memory.  This is not means that the 2 GB of memory reserved is carved off the coast and completely dedicated to the virtual machine.  This means that the vmkernel offers up to 2 GB of RAM to the VM when and if she needs to use it.  It is a guarantee that the memory will be available upon request.  Because of this guarantee of the VMkernel, VMkernel swap file only has to make sure that the 6 GB memory is satisfied (4 GB total less the 2 GB reserved), so the VMkernel Swap file is only 6 GB in size.

  Actions are a mechanism for prioritization and limits are a cap on physical memory ever allocated to the VM.

  You can set up any number of memory for the virtual machines that you want - frankly, overcommitment of memory for ESX is a very good thing, but you must be vigilant about watching your systems if approve you.  If you have 64 GB of RAM, and you only configure your virtual machines to use total 32G, then you lose 32 GB of RAM.  If you allocate, say, 96 GB of RAM (total) to your virtual machines, then you look at a 50% overcommitment.  What to watch in overcommitting memory is application performance (and more importantly - perception of the user of this performance) and also the memory ballooning and VMkernel Swapping activity.  Those who can both will be in graphics performance in VirtualCenter.  I would recommend reading the Guide to management resources for more details.

  Hope that provides an overview.

  Thank you

• Evacuation of the virtual machines before maintenance mode

  When ESX is placed in maintenance mode - it should give you a vmotion option functioning of the virtual machines on the other hosts in the same cluster?  Or it only move down vms to other hosts?

  Thank you

  DRS is your friend here, ensuring that VMS are evacuated.

  If you are unable to vMotion VMs manually from the host, the y is unable to escape during operations in Maintenance mode. The host will therefore go not in maintenance mode before having been involved and sort the vMotion.

  Most often, CD-ROM etc are involved here, but validation of vMotion also includes such things as the availability of resources and port groups (that is, if a group of ports corresponding to that used by the virtual machine is not available on another host in the cluster that has the resources available, the vMotion will not pass validfation and the virtual machine will remain on the host of 'Maintenance Mode').

• IP not set to start the virtual machine

  Environment: ESX 4 server, hosting VMware Studio 2.0 (final version), will deploy device created in the same ESX host.

  I was not yet able to determine if my wait will not, but I expected that my VM would be marketing it would have an assigned IP address already if I finish the network settings section in the build settings. But when I start my VM, it starts with IP = 0.0.0.0.

  I'm going to network Type = static and by filling in all the details for the IP, mask subnet, gateway, DNS 1 and 2. It seems that they are used when the virtual machine is in 'construction' on the host, but I'm not entirely sure about this.

  In the OVF IP assignment settings, I tried selecting OVF environment, but have not set of OVF properties (I don't think that this should be mandatory if I am already addressing in the build settings).

  After construction, into my vSphere Client (ESX4), I chose the file & gt; Deploy the template OVF... & gt; Deploy from URL and paste the URL of the virtual machine built recently. I start the virtual machine and watch the console screen boot and load the operating system. IP address is never assigned and the console device is displayed with IP = 0.0.0.0.

  I then have to connect with the image, manually assign the IP settings and then everything works. I expect this happen at boot time so that my firstbootscript can take advantage of the assigned IP address.

  -

  Maybe I go about it the wrong way, but my usecase is as follows:

  Build a VM & gt; Distribute the VM on end user & gt;  end user deploys on ESX and chooses address IP & gt; end user boots VM for the first time & gt; firstbootscript runs automatically

  Am I missing something? Can I have different expectations about how IP assignment is supposed to work? I read about IP Pools, but this isn't an option in my vSphere Client.

  Property of the FVO is the best option to set an IP address.

  Long back for Linux OS, I have written a shell script to set the IP address and the hostname in firstboot Virginia you can try this for your going here is the link for the same thing.

  http://communities.VMware.com/docs/doc-10953

  In the OS from VMware Studio tab you can paste this script in the script firstboot.

  First of all, please run this script manually and then use it in VMware Studio firstboot.

• Size of the virtual machines on the local data store

  What is the best way to determne the (total) disk space using a virtual machine? We have several virtual machines on local data warehouses and would like to estimate roughly how much disk space to the total number of virtual machines use to caculate how much storage SAN, they will consume. Is there an 'easy' way to socket this information?

  The most accurate way would be to calculate the total space used by the virtual machine files in the data store.

  Connect to the service console

  Navigate to the vmfs volume

  Navigate to the vm folder

  -h.

  This will give you files for this particular virtual machine related to the amount of disk space used by all the vm
