• How to move a virtual machine to a different data store, preserving its ID

  I would like to move a virtual machine to a different data store.

  Because I use 3rd party software that identifies a virtual machine by its ID of VirtualCenter, I'd like to preserve the ID, and I also want to preserve the name of the virtual computer.

  If I clone the virtual machine, I lose the ID and name.

  I can clone a second time to restore the name, but the ID is always false.

  I know that I can use vmkfstools-i to copy the entire disk.

  Is it possible to copy the entire VM?

  I am currently on ESX 3.0.2/VC 2.0.2

  The operation that I describe is available in 3.5.x/VC ESX 2.5.x

  TIA,

  -Magister

  Don't use EVER of CP to copy a VM, VMDK move/copy should be used in conjunction with vmkfstools as best practice.

  OP,

  You can manually make a copy using the CLI interface or use the VI Client and browse the data store and to copy and paste in the appropriate data and as suggested Andre store, when you switch on for the first time, you should say 'keep' when asked if you want to update the virtual machine UUID.

  Another thing, you could do, is if you've enabled for vMotion, you can actually use Storage vMotion which will migrate directly from your virtual machine to a different data store, it's less effort on your side and you can count on Andrew Kutz sVMotion plugin: http://sourceforge.net/projects/vip-svmotion/

• Migration of all the catalog items to a different data store in the same storage profiles

  Hello

  is any possibility to migrate everything in the catalog (time and iso files) to a different data store that has the same profile (Silver) storage group?  Because I have 2 groups of data store with the same profile of storage (Silver) and I want to delete one of this cluster.

  I found this kb: http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2058094 but it speaks solely of media files of migration between different storage profiles.

  Have vCD 5.6.4

  You happen to use rapid Provisioning?  This is probably the only problem I can think of.

  Environments that have no linked Clones or shadows created from them, you can just Storage vMotion them between the same storage policy data warehouses.  Just make sure that the data store or a store of data clusters are visible in vCloud Director first of all in the framework of this storage policy.

  When you use linked clones, I don't remember the exact process... I think that I have in my office somewhere (I'm at home now).

• PowerCLI to zip a virtual machine to a different data store...

  Hello world.

  I'm working on a matter of hobby, just to see. Anyone has ideas or examples on a path, pCLI, to solve a VM, zipper upward in its entirety in a data store is not resident and continue on? I know ghettoVCB and gVCB2, but I was curious to know if anyone has ever attempted this thing for backup VMs with pCLI?

  Thanks for any time and thoughts in that put you.

  ==============================

  Won't lie. I like points. I mean, if something useful for you, consider slipping a few points for him!

  I've never tried it since VCB has been around and who works for what I need.

  I noticed that there is an "Export-VAPP" cmdlet in the new PowerCLI that does what you ask for vApps instead of individual virtual machines.  Bonus is that you get OVFs instead of ZIPs.

  Get-VApp myVApp | Export-VApp "c:\vapps\"
  

  If you wrap your VMS in the VAPP wrappers, you can do that easily.

• Move a virtual machine to a different data store

  I want to take data offline store.  I moved all devices that use my virtual machines which are on, but I don't see a way to configure the location of the .vmx file.  Y at - it a simple way to move it, or: where is the list of the .vmx that are associated with a host files?

  You shouldn't really do that.  But I guess you know that now.

  Simplest solution would be to right click on the vm and collect inventory, then with all the files in the right directory, open the browser of data store, do a right-click on the file vmx and go "add to the inventory.

  If meet you some strange reason questions you can re-create the VM with no disc and just add the old virtual machine disks.  Then do a sVmotion to make things cleaner.

• Command to move a virtual machine on a different data store

  You can download PowerCLI at http://www.vmware.com/go/powercli. There you can also find the documentation. PowerCLI is a snap-in for Microsoft Windows PowerShell that you can download at http://blogs.msdn.com/powershell/pages/download-windows-powershell.aspx if you have not already. PowerShell is a scripting language and a shell like the window BACK. A very good book on PowerCLI is Hal Rottenberg Management of VMware Infrastructure with Windows PowerShell TFM. And if you have any questions about PowerCLI, you can ask them at the Community's VMware PowerCLI.

• Error when you try to move the cloudvolumes folder in a different data store

  OK, so I'm moving my App volume 2.10 cloudvolumes folder of datastoreA on vcenterA on datastoreB on vcenterB, because we want to separate us from our VDI of our basic infrastructure.

  We are able to access the two vcenters on the web client.

  I tried to just copy the folder datastoreA to datastoreB cloudvolumes and received the following error.

  Copy of the file object has already been deleted or has not been entirely created

  
  

  I've seen this error in Veeam before when moving virtual machines from a data store. The solution is to remove and readd the virtual machine in the inventory.

  
  

  Everyone tried to move the cloudvolumes folder?

  
  

  Any help would be appreciated.

  
  

  Thank you
  

  
  

  
  

  I would never move the folder because there are files that will always be accessible or are not in read/write mode.

  I suggest you copy the files from the 1 folder to another, or maybe add an additional data store to the manager Appvolumes and let the files (appstacks at least) copy automatically.

• Cloning of VM/TIME to the different data store

  Hi all

  I am working out scripts excellent clone of Ruben garcia and one thing I'm trying to add is to have the VAPP created on a different data store.

  # Clone and move virtual machines
  {foreach ($vm to $vms)
  $vm = $vm | Get-opinion
  $vmname = $cloneName + "»" + $vm.name "
  . \LcloneVM $vm.name - cloneName '$vmname' - «$PortGroup» PortGroup
  Get-vm-name $vmname | Move-vm-destination $vapp;
  The virtual machine are getting cloned and then inserted in the passed TIME as a parameter name, but I can't understand how do to have the VAPP will be created on a data store that I specify. At this time the vApp is created on the same data store where the linked clones. Can I travel after from the user interface by using the migrate command but I want if possible to automate it.
  I thought that the next line should work but the VAPP fails when creating, so the move-vm command fails later.
  # Create VAPP

  $vapp = $host_name | VAPP-new-name "$cloneName" - data store "ThinDiskTesting"

  I am at a loss to what im doing wrong

  Post edited by: BrianRTS - difficulty of setting in the form

  You can specify the data store where you want to create linked clone delta files.

  This requires a slight modification to the script of Ruben

  # Generate specs for clone
  $cloneSpec = new-object Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineCloneSpec $cloneSpec.Snapshot = $sourceVM.Snapshot.CurrentSnapshot $cloneSpec.Location = new-object Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec $cloneSpec.Location.DiskMoveType = [Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateDiskMoveOptions]::createNewChildDiskBacking $cloneSpec.Location.Datastore = (Get-Datastore -Name $tgtDatastoreName).ExtensionData.MoRef
  

  Ownership of the data store is used to indicate where the clone should be placed.

  Or you want to create the clones, then move them?

• How can I move a data store a single virtual disk shape in a different data store?

  I have a host running vSphere 4 enterprise that belongs to a cluster of Foundation vCenter 5.5.  I need to move all the guests off the coast of this host to be updated. This host has a client that is using the local hard disk as a data store.  This customer has six 6 hard drive with only using the local hard disk as a data store.  How can I move the hard drive to a different data store?

  When I try to use 'Move' or 'Migrate' with vCenter (client or web interface), it seems that I can move only data not store a single entity, each database individually.  Can we move a data store single someway with the guest always under tension, or do I have to power off and manually move the "vmdk" they reattach the hard drive?

  
  

  Thank you

  
  

  Bruce

  When you click on migrate, the data store, click on the Advanced button.  It will give you the option to select a disc.  You can migrate it while it is running.

• Is it OK to delete the update number 2 after the new update has been entered IE number 6 of the same program?

  to delete the update number 2 after the new update has been entered IE number 6 of the same program

  original title: he is allowed to delete the previous updates of files

  Hi Carl,

  I suggest you go through this article to Java which can be useful.

  Why should I remove old versions of Java in my system?

  Removal of previous versions of the .net Framework is based on the applications that are running on the computer.

  For applications, if you have an application based on any .NET Framework on the computer, you cannot delete it since you have need to support the application runs correctly.

  .NET framework 3.5 SP1 includes .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 SP2. This means that .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0 can not be deleted because they are the sine qua non of .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. If you have any application based on .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, please do not remove .NET 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1.

  I would also not to uninstall the security updates that are important for the security of your computer.
