• Move a virtual machine from a to another data store

  I ve just added a hard drive on my ESXi server and created a new data store.

  I need to free up space on the original data store, what would be the procedure to move virtual machines within the old data store to the new? (and keep them whitout work break)

  Thanks in advance.

• 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.

• Could not start the new virtual machine or VM remove a data store

  Hi guys,.

  I'm not new with ESXi, but my knowledge with vCenter and Clustering must be improved, so here's my problem.

  We have a Cluster of 2 ESXi 4.1 hosts on a San with 2 VMFS.

  My first problem is when I created a new virtual machine and try to start it, I got an error message similar to the one included with this post.

  My Second problem is more picky. Since I am unable to start my new virtual machine, I had removed from drive and I had created a new. But when I took a peek in the data store where was deleted VM, the directory with all the files are still there. When I try to delete it, I got an error message telling me that it is impossible to proceed.

  Q please?

  Best regards

  82% of failure can be other issues.  The article below

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1006052

  Also, I saw, where bad records DB for your ESXi hosts can cause weird problems as well.  The host with the problematic guest, can you do a right click on it and "disconnect"?  Try to get out of the bunch at the data center level.  If you get an error vCenter, that means return folder DB.  From there, while the host is in a disconnected state, remove the host to vCenter, then "add host". This will update the DB record.  Maybe worth it?

• Unable to ping Virtual Machines within ESXi host (vSphere Home Lab)

  I'm using VMware workstation 9, I have 4 virtual machines created inside the workstation.
  (192.168.1.0 network is defined inside VMware workstation VM network editor)

  Domain controller - 192.168.1.1
  ESX1 - 192.168.1.11 (2 NICs - vmnic0 and vmnic1 connected to n/w)
  Esx2 - 192.168.1.12 (2 NICs - vmnic0 and vmnic1 connected to n/w)
  Management Server - 192.168.1.5

  I have 2 virtual computers created inside the machine Esx1

  machine to SQL - 192.168.1.4
  vcenter1 - 192.168.1.2

  I have 1 computer virtual created inside the Esx2 machine

  vcenter2 - 192.168.1.3

  I can ping all the machines in the administration server - no problem

  Question - I can not ping vcenter1 to sql, cannot ping vcenter1 to vcenter2, cannot ping vcenter2 to sql.
  There is basically no communication between virtual machines with the Esx host and in the whole of the host. Firewalls is disable on all these machines virtual esx internal hosts.

  Any ideas how to solve this problem?

  Make sure that virtual network on ESXi hosts maps are Sunrise promiscous mode networking.

• Resumption of the Suspended virtual machine does not work, "the specified file is not a virtual disk.

  Resume a Suspended computer virtual fails with the message "the specified file is not a virtual disk. Tried to go back to the last snapshot fails with the same message "error restoring snapshot: the specified file is not a virtual disk '. '"

  The virtual machine has worked without delivers up to 21/12/2015 while she was snecessary. I often suspend > resume this machine virtual, but for some reason, I am now getting this error. Please help!

  The file unfortunately doesn't look very promising. It seems that the contents were crushed,

  Unless you have a backup, you can try to replace this file with a file 'empty' hard (e.g. copy Windows 7 x 64-000002-s100. ) ( vmdk) that contains only metadata (size = 327 680), to see if this allows you to use the virtual machine again. Note that you will lose all the data stored in the (corrupt) original hard file, and that the virtual machine will probably suffer file system errors. So make sure that you run chkdsk for all partitions in the guest OS.

  In any case, before doing so, I strongly recommend that you back up the existing files of the virtual machine! Once done, it could also be a good idea to run chkdsk for physical training.

  BTW. do you need all the snapshots? With all these clichés and the size of the virtual disk of the virtual machine, the virtual disk consists of files hard ~ 400.

• Download of virtual machine using extremely slow browser data store

  Hello

  Why download VM files totalling nearly only 8 GB in vSphere Client v4.1.0 (from 4.1.0 ESXi) via a Gigabit LAN would take more than 1800 minutes (30 hours)? Well now after about 5-10 minutes to download, it is said 1560 minutes but still, why is it so slow? I thought that perhaps is that the estimated time remaining is miscalculated, but this isn't the case. The download is just extremely slow.

  Not only that but vSphere Client (VpxClient.exe) constantly uses 25-45% of my cycles while all CPU's do the downloading of files. This slows down the PC I am running vSphere Client. The local network on the server and the client connections are Gigabit too.

  UPDATE: download time now has increased up to 1924 minutes back and it becomes difficult to use my PC for e-mail in Outlook, etc. because vSphere Client seems to use as many cycles CPU.

  UPDATE 2: 2 hours for download via vSphere Client and remaining time jumped up to 2287 minutes. I'm going to cancel and try to download via the web browser interface.

  See the attached screenshots.

  Thank you

  Yes. Choose to export to the format of the workstation.

• List virtual machine name and sum of the VM disk size (stocked) and export it

  Hello

  I need to list all the VM:s and their implemented disk space. I can do it with this command:

  Get - vm * | foreach-object {write-host "$_ ' t ' (Get-disk hard - vm $_ |)} Measure-Object-CapacityGB property-sum) .sum. ToString()}

  (If there is a more elegant way to do it, do not hesitate to enlight me )

  The problem is that I'm unable to export these data. Addition of

  | Export-csv... or

  > liste.txt

  end of the line creates the empty file and print to the console.

  How do I export the work properly (or I want to)?

  Ah, you are after the total size of the virtual machine just hard drives, no virtual machines provided dimensions on a data store.  So, Yes, you can continue to use the cmdlet Get-disk hard as you had in your first example, but written as such in order to allow operations on the result:

  Get-VM | Select-Object Name,@{n="HardDiskSizeGB"; e={(Get-HardDisk -VM $_ | Measure-Object -Sum CapacityGB).Sum}}
  

  This route can be a bit slow, especially as your environment is greater.  If it is too slow, then we can use all the best buddy, Get-View.

  Anyway, doesn't that do for you?

• Deploy multiple virtual machines on several hosts evenly?

  Hello people!

  I wrote a small script to deploy many virtual machines on several hosts at random.

  But I would rather deploy a virtual machine to each host in a table and then start over again until the number of virtual machines to deploy exhausted.  Distribution of the burden of deployment as evenly as possible.

  Anyone have a suggestion?  Example of nested loops?

  

  PowerShell beginner, here.

  Thank you

  One way to do this is with the modulo operator (%), something like this

  $numVMs = 11

  $tgtEsx = get-Cluster "Westcreek | Get-VMHost-name z420 *.

  1.. $numVMs | %{

  [New-VM-name 'Test $($_)' $tgtEsx[$_%$tgtEsx.Count - VMHost]

  }

• Number of virtual machines on a host

  Hello

  I want to count the VM´s on a host and put the value in a variable (number). Then, I want to let the script write the value as follows:

  $numVM = get-VMHost host1. Select @{N = "NumVM"; E={($_ | Get - VM). County}} | ConvertTo

  If ($numVM - gt 0) {Write-Host "host a" $numVM "Virtual Machines"}
  else {Write-Host "the host has no virtual machine"}

  But PowerCLI says:

  Can't compare ' @{NumVM = 3} "'0' because the objects are not the same type or object ' @{NumVM = 3} ' does not implement 'IComparable '.

  So what I have to do now?

  THX

  Chakoe

  Do it like this

  $numVM = (get-VMHost host1 |) Get - VM). County
  If ($numVM - gt 0) {Write-Host "host a" $numVM "Virtual Machines"}
  else {Write-Host "the host has no virtual machine"}

  A select statement creates an object, and not an int

• Script to list all the warehouses of data in a cluster, the virtual machines on the data store and the host of the virtual machine is on

  We have warehouses of data which are seen by more than one cluster. I need a script that will display:

  all stores of data seen by a cluster

  the virtual machines on the data store

  the host of the virtual machine is on

  the cluster the host is in

  The output I want is

  name of the store of data, the VM name, host name, the name of the Cluster

  any help would be appreciated

  Pretty sure this will do what you need:

  $report = @()
  Foreach($cluster in Get-Cluster){
      $datastores = $cluster | Get-VMHost | Get-Datastore
      foreach($datastore in $datastores){
      $vms = $datastore | Get-VM
      If ($vms.count -ge 1){
          foreach($VM in $vms){
          $object = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{
                Datastore = $datastore.Name
                VM = $VM.Name
                HostName = $VM.VMhost
                Cluster = $cluster
              }
          $report += $object
          }
  
      }
      }
  }
  $report | Export-Csv C:\Temp\VMs.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
  

  If you only want to shared data warehouses you can then use

  $datastores = $cluster | Get-VMHost | Get-Datastore | Where {$_.Extensiondata.Summary.MultipleHostAccess -eq $True}
  

  Hope this helps

• The list of all virtual machines to a host group in Virtual Machine port group

  Ladies and gentlemen,

  I would like to create a powershell script to list all my virtual machines to a host, but a group of Machine virtual PortGroup... It is possible...? I see only found Internet see the VirtualPortGroup of the host...

  Thanks in advance & looks

  All your VMS have a mapping single portgroup or it not with multiple NICs on different port groups?

  If they are all the same, then the following should work:

  Get-VM | Select Host, Name, @{N="PortGroup";E={$_.NetworkAdapters[0].NetworkName}} | Sort PortGroup, Name, Host

• Locked on the XP virtual machine within the Windows 7 host

  Not running Virtual Machine XP in Windows 7 to 9 months no problem.

  Left on Virtual Machine PC open, went to lunch, when I came back the screen went black and white and did not.  I rebooted.  Win 7 is running normally, but now have the following message when I open the Virtual Machine.  (BTW: someone other than me has access to this computer)

  When I try to open a session normally I start by getting this error message:

  "The integration features have been disable" close this window and I get the following.

  This computer is in use and has been locked.  Only the Virtualxp-xxx XPMUser or an administrator can unlock this computer.

  This message is displayed in the virtual machine window, BUT!  The window is not active.  I can't read the information.

  I searched many forums and that you find exactly the same problem.

  I opened the settings of virtual window and tried everything I can think of.

  I have screenshots of the menus and things I tried, but don't know how to post them here.

  Help!  I need a very advanced Geek!

  Thanks in advance,

  It is a known problem with the Windows XP Virtual Machine.

  In the future if you come accorss this question here, that's what you can do.

  * Go to your folder of user account > My Virtual Machines. Click once on the XP Mode of Windows to highlight and in the menu bar, you will notice the settings option. Clicking on it will open the settings of the Virtual Machine window (Make sure VM is stopped to make changes). It should look something like this http://i884.photobucket.com/albums/ac43/shetty_akash/VirtualMachineDefaultsettings.png

  * Try to start the Virtual Machine if it invites still the user name password click on tools bar menu in Windows XP mode VM window, and then click enable integration features.

  Let me know if you face this problem again and the steps above don't solve the problem.

• Replying to a virtual machine within the same site

  I try to install vSphere replication v5.1.  I do this without SRM, but just the OVF appliance (s).  We currently have 8 guests distributed between two groups.  We have a vCenter control all this, and all is listed in a Data Center.  The second group is in our DR site and has different storage mapped to it.  I try to use vSphere replication as a means to keep our important VM replicated to our centre of DR disaster.  Is it possible to do so in the only current configuration?

  I'm having a hard time comes to work.  I have deployed two replication OVF devices and I'm stuck trying to replicate a virtual machine actually.  It gives me an error that the data object is not found.  I thought that I needed to 'Connect' from the local site to the remote site, but since this is all a time installing vCenter, I get an error indicating it cannot connect to itself.

  Is what I'm trying to do possible?  If not, could you let me know what I need to change to make it work properly.  Thank you.

  Hello

  The scenario you describe is supported - you can replicate virtual machines from one host to another within the same VC.

  To do this:

  -you will need to deploy vSphere 5.1 replication for a VC and no specific host

  -VR requires VC 5.1. If you liked VC - standalone VR will not work. If you have more recent VC, for example 5.5, you need RV 5.5

  -For replication within the VC even you don't need to link to the target site.

  -Simply select the computer virtual you want to replicate, when you opened a session in vSphere Web Client connected to the VC, point to the same location - must be available in the list, and select the appropriate data store and move through the wizard.

  Kind regards

• Move the virtual machine from one host to another ESXi

  Hi all

  Quick question, if I wanted to move a virtual machine hosted on a server ESXi ESXi server what is the easiest way? Should I use the converter to do?

  Thank you

  ESXi 4.1 (Vsphere Hypervisor)

  So have free Vmware Vsphere Client

  In this case, the options are:

  • Standalone converter
  • Browser data store (download and transfer files)
  • SCP or FastSCP and then add the virtual machine to inventory with the browser data store
