People,
Hello. I use 3 Player VM and Guest OS Windows Server 2003. The host OS is Windows 7. I need to increase the size of the VM disk, so who can install several systems in the guest OS. If something bad happens during the expansion of the size of the virtual disk, the guest operating system and its Applications will not work. Thus, before expanding the size of the virtual disk, I need to back up the virtual machine hard disk external.
I have check the disk hard host operating system Windows 7, the path is C:\VirtualMachine\WindowsServer2003\... When I get to the top of the virtual machine on the external hard drive, simply select the 'VirtualMachine' folder and save automatically. I have 3 questions as follows:
First of all, if something bad happens during the expansion of the size of the virtual disk, the guest operating system and its Applications do not work. Can I just delete the folder 'VirtualMachine' in the host operating system?
Secondly, the problem of the first question does not affect files in the physical hard disk to host operating system?
Third, if something wrong happens during expand the size of the virtual disk of OS guest, I simply delete the folder 'VirtualMachine' in the host operating system and load the original 'VirtualMachine' from the external hard drive in the host operating system. Works correctly as long as one is the Virtual Machine before Stude the virtual disk size?
Thank you.

Yes.
That's right, as long as you have not added and other virtual disks of different folders on the host of the virtual machine, you can probably did not.
After developing the size of the virtual disk, you must also change the size of the partition in the guest operating system.

Dear,
I have a plan to set up a file of the virtual machine on an SSD. The host system is windows 10 (on an other SSD, I'll use 2 SSD), it should support the SSD very well. Then comes the question: should I also install an OS that needs support also guest SSD?
My opinion is it does not matter since the disk i/o operation is made by host operating system, it is the host operating system which finally determin whick block data will be published (optimization of the disk).
Am I wrong? Thank you.
Sorry for the enigmatic answer...
In your case, the answer is Yes: he cares about the type of media, while the virtual disk is a vmdk (virtual material treaty) and placed in an SSD.
There are a few cases where you might use a physical disk directly to the virtual machine (called peripheral raw disk or RDM in vSphere environment).

In my view, that it is a known problem in ESXi 5.5 Update 2 release notes, someone knows a solution yet? This is an excerpt from the release notes:
- Attempts to perform live storage vMotion of virtual machines with RDM disks can fail
Storage vMotion of virtual machines with RDM disks can fail and virtual machines can be considered in turned off of the State. Attempts to turn on the virtual machine fails with the following error:
Cannot lock the file
Workaround: No.
VMware support for the record said that the patch will update 3, it is known as an intermittent problem. Finally, it happened to me on the 9th attempt.

Copy the virtual machine files
Hello
I would like to know if I had to copy a virtual machine on my personal laptop, what files should I copy? Told me that VMDK files are not enough. That is why I want to what files exactly?
And also if my application VM and the VM database are 2 different servers, it will work if I copy them and run them on my laptop?
Thank you.
If you laptop is isolated from the area, you'll need to local users account on the virtual machine, so I suggest you note the local administrator account and the password and check if this account is activated.
Just a further point, if the services in the system VMs depends on domain services, for example: If you are using a domain account to run, you need will change this setting to use the local account and give the necessary permission for this local account.

Create the virtual machine by using the file PowerCLI and csv
I know there is a lot of info out there on this and I think I have a working script prety good. Much was borrowed from this thread, http://communities.vmware.com/thread/315193 many thanks to LucD.
My code is as follows:
# Deploy virtual machines from CSV file
# Much borrowed from http://communities.VMware.com/thread/315193?start=15 & tstart = 0
# CSV import file
Import-Csv "C:\guests.csv" - UseCulture | %{
# Gets the customization information to configure the static NETWORK card and assign the static IP address
Get-OSCustomizationSpec $_. Customization | Get-OSCustomizationNicMapping | `
Game-OSCustomizationNicMapping - UseStaticIP - IpAddress IpMode $_. ""IP address""

$vm = New-VM-Name $_. "" Server name "-model $_. Model-host $_. ' "The ESX host" '

-Confirm: $false - RunAsync
## .......
}He's going to cross and clone the virtual machine, and looks like he's running of the OSCustomizaitonSpec then it bombards. It cleans bad VM. Recent tasks shows "failed virtual machine clone that a specified parapeter was not correct." hostname ".
The problem is that I don't mean to set a hostname with the OSCustomixationSpec, I try only to IP address info.
I'm runningn PowerCLI 5.0.1 build 581491
My ESXi host is 5.0.0 build 914586
My vCenter Server is Ver 5.0.0 build 623373
I opened a new thread, because the age of the old thread. Not sure if this is the best way to do things.
A very simple and intuitive brake system :-)
## Deploy VMs from CSV File ## Much borrowed from http://communities.vmware.com/thread/315193?start=15&tstart=0 $maxJobs = 3 $currentJobs = 0 ## Imports CSV file Import-Csv "C:\temp\TestDeploy1" -UseCulture | %{ ## Gets Customization info to set NIC to Static and assign static IP address Get-OSCustomizationSpec $_.Customization | Get-OSCustomizationNicMapping | ` ## Sets the Static IP info Set-OSCustomizationNicMapping -IpMode UseStaticIP -IpAddress $_."IP Address" ` -SubnetMask $_.Subnet -DefaultGateway $_.Gateway -Dns $_.DNS## Sets the name of the VMs OS $cust = Get-OSCustomizationSpec -Name Test Set-OSCustomizationSpec -OSCustomizationSpec $cust -NamingScheme Fixed -NamingPrefix $_.VMName## Creates the New VM from the template $vm=New-VM -Name $_."Server Name" -Template $_.Template -Host $_."Esx Host" ` -Datastore $_.Datastore -OSCustomizationSpec $_.Customization ` -Confirm:$false -RunAsync $currentJobs = Get-Job -State Running | Measure-Object | Select -ExpandProperty Count while($currentJobs -ge $maxJobs){ sleep 30 $currentJobs = Get-Job -State Running | Measure-Object | Select -ExpandProperty Count } ## ....... }
You can be more selective about the current jobs. For example, you can check if the name of the job shows that they are actually cloning jobs.

Cannot resize the virtual disk, the virtual machine by using a «child» vmdk file
Release: VMWare workstation 9
SE host: Windows 7 64-bit
Screenshots below.
I want to resize my VM from 50 GB to 100 GB.
It seems that VMware workstation 9 uses a child for my VM vmdk. In my case, using its "Windows Server 2008 R2 x 64 - 000001.vmdk" for its virtual disk file. The correct file should be "Windows Server 2008 R2 x64.vmdk", I think.
There are currently no snapshots registered for this virtual machine, I see.
The virtual machine works well as is, but I can't resize the disk without the VMWare gui, saying I should be perform the operation on the parent vmdk file.
It seems that I do run a snapshot that is not really a snapshot? How to merge with the older files - Sxx.vmdk to 0000xx - Sxxx.vmdk
I also tried to use the command line tool to manually resize the vmdk parent, but I get permission "access denied" errors.
Kind regards
Matt
-------------------------------------------
Parameters of the HARD disk:
Error:
Files:
He no snapshots are displayed in the Manager of snapshot with the check box 'Show AutoProtect snapshots' verified then the snapshot is an orphan and the best way I use normally to fix this if I want the contents of the snapshot of orphan to be among the basic disk is with tab of the virtual machine in VMware Workstation GUI closed I simply delete the .vmsd file and then open the virtual machine tab in the VMware Workstation GUI and cover and immediately remove a snapshot in the Snapshot Manager. This will force the orphan snapshot to merge with the parent disk. Then to clean I still remove the .vmsd file and orphans, .vmsn and .vmem file.
Note: Before the procedure you have a good backup of the virtual machine in case you accidentally mess something up.

You can synchronize a file to the virtual machine on two macbook pro
I have 2 macbook pro I synchronize files with every night. I want to keep the file of the virtual machine the same on both machines. If I run VMWare Fusion with this file to the virtual machine on a single machine, quit VMWare Fusion and then synchronize the file tonight, the other machine will be able to open it without additional configuration steps? Thanks for any help you can give me.
that would be copy very large files...

Hello;
Just noticed that in my data store, there are several folders to a single virtual machine, e.g. VM-Marketing, it also has Marketing_1-VM and VM-Marketing_2.
When I go on the 'change settings' of this virtual machine, in the hardware tab, and on the hard drive, it's going to [datastore] VM-Marketing_2/VM - Marketing.vmdk.
Then in the General Options in the 'Options' tab, the Configuration of the VM tab is [datastore] VM-Marketing_2/VM - Marketing.vmx
It seems that my VM it working in the VM-Marketing_2 file in the data store, what about the other two?, this virtual machine, it is quite heavy, it has a 80 GB HARD drive and I have 3 of them if total 240 GB, so can I remove them?, is there something I can do atin the VCenter?

Welcome to the community - VM when is created ESX, it will use the name of the default computer name of directory where the virtual machine and its files will be stored - if a directory with that name already exists, it increments the directory with _1, _2 etc - so I am betting by the same VMs na, e were created before the one you have currently in production - Maybe the intention had been to delete these virtual machines, but when they have been deleted, rather than by selecting delete from the disk - remove inventory has been selected which will keep the directory structure.

Not able to add the snapshot file to the virtual machine
We have Win 2003 virtual machine running on ESXi 4.0.0 261974. The virtual machine has two vmdk files. We had taken the snapshot a few days back and today by mistake, we have removed one of the vmdk (DB - srv - 000001.vmdk - snapshot file). Now, we are not able to add the snapshot file to the virtual machine. When tried to add the existing vmdk, it displays only the source disk (DB - srv.vmdk). Please, help us to solve this problem.
The GUI allows only adding the base vmdk. To add the Flash disk, you must manually change the vmx file. Registrations for the formerly removed virtual disk could still exist in the vmx file with... .present = "FALSE". After changing the vmx file you must reload the configuration. To do this, remove the VM of the inventory and add it back again (right-click on the vmx file).

Need help updated the VMX file on several Virtual Machine
All,
Can anyone help with a problem I'm having? Here is a brief explanation of what is happening and what we need to solve.
Recently we found out that we need to add a line in the file VMX of several virtual machines. In the past, I was able to do this, but would have cold start the virtual machine for the changes to take effect. Starts cold won't be a problem, because we can program it.
However, no one knows a way to add this line in the file VMX virtual machines in a cluster.
Here's the line I need added:
Devices.hotplug = "false".
Here is a script that was used earlier (esx 3.0 days) to keep the VM tools updated on reboot. At this point, if the virtual machine has been turned on, this change could not do through the UI. However, this script worked to update the .vmx file and then we have cold reboots for the changes to take effect.
Get-viserver - < Server > - < user > - < password >
$viview = get-Cluster-name NOMCLUSTER | Get - VM | foreach-object {get-view ($_.ID)}
$viview | {foreach-object
$vmConfigSpec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec
$vmConfigSpec.Tools = new-Object VMware.Vim.ToolsConfigInfo
$vmConfigSpec.Tools.afterPowerOn = 'True '.
$vmConfigSpec.Tools.afterResume = 'True '.
$vmConfigSpec.Tools.beforeGuestStandby = 'True '.
$vmConfigSpec.Tools.beforeGuestShutdown = 'True '.
$vmConfigSpec.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy = "UpgradeAtPowerCycle".
$_. ReconfigVM ($vmConfigSpec)
}The exact script can be found in Disable HotPlug

Deleting the same files of many virtual machines remotely
Hi all
I tried to delete the same file several virtual machines remotely using the following script PowerCLI:
$a = Get - VM | %{
foreach ($nic as $_.) Guest.Nics) {}
Write-output $nic. IPAddress
}
}
foreach ($i in $a)
{$b = get-WmiOBJECT-query "SELECT * from CIM_DataFile where Name='C:\\test\\deleteme.exe'"-computername $i}
$b.delete)}
It works perfectly when I run the script on the host virtual machines while I am running the script PowerCLI. When I Connect-viserver to another host however and try to run the script, I get the dreaded "RPC server is unavailable error (HRESULT: 0x800706BA)" for Get-WmiObject. Virtual machines don't have Windows Firewall and have all TCP/IP, RPC and WMI services started, so who could eliminate any possibility.
I am also able to run other scripts that use the Get-wmiobject across all virtual machines such as scripts to change the DNS or Netbios name across many machines on different hosts.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated and please feel free to comment if you know maybe other ways which can delete files on multiple virtual machines in any other way. Installation PowerCLI to run the script locally on each host would be a laborious process to do.
Thank you very much!
Best regards
To solve the problem with the quotes, you can use double quotes inside the string. Like this:
«del "«c:\documents and settings\text.exe»»»
Or you can use for the string single quotes and double quotes inside:
"del"c:\documents and settings\text.exe"

Script to change the name of the file to the virtual machine and its associated files
Hello
I'm looking for a script to change the name of the virtual machine in virtual center and also change it has associated file names in the data store to match file name of virtual machine. But the vmdk file will contain a descriptor which maps the - flat.vmdk file. So not sure that we can achieve this through a script.
Thanks in advance!
Not really as much as I know.
The advantage of the svMotion is renamed it the files (.) VMX, VMDK,...) For you.
The only alternative would be the command line. See Duncan Howto: renaming a virtual computer.
With the help of the plink.exe tool which could possibly be scripted.

How to create the virtual machine to a virtual machine existed file?
I have two hard drives on my VMware host. There are virtual machines on a SATA drive, how do I list these files of virtual machines and copy one of them to create a new virtual machine (it can save a lot of my time!). I did this way on VMware server 2.0 because I can see what they were and where they were under Windows. But on vSphere, how can I do? Maybe you guys have other ways to do it?
Thank you!
George
On vSphere, I suggest you use autonomous vConventer instead. It is quite simple and easy to use. Alternatively, you can copy or clone the virtual disk to the virtual machine via the Console (ESX) Service offline
