• find virtual machines connected to several groups of ports

  I am able to find a list of the virtual machines connected to a specific port quite easily.

  Get - VM | where {(Get-NetworkAdapter-VM $_ |)} (Select-expandProperty NetworkName) -eq "Network A"}

  I'd like to find computers virtual that are connected to multiple networks, except that I don't want not selected.

  I want a list of virtual computers that connect to the network but not connected to "Network A" and "Network B".

  The inverse of the one-liner above returns the same VM

  Get - VM | where {(Get-NetworkAdapter-VM $_ |)} (Select-expandProperty NetworkName) -don't "Network B"}

  
  

  Thank you
  

  Something like that maybe

  Get - VM | where {$nets = @(Get-NetworkAdapter-VM $_ | % {$_.NetworkName}); $nets. {Count - eq 1 - and $nets - contains "Network A"}

• Backup of virtual machine using iSCSI Server

  As the title says.

  I (MSA 2312i) iSCSI storage and Im going to do install a backup on a virtual computer product.  To achieve LAN free backup, I think I need to create the virtual machine with two network cards.  One on the production of LAN and the other on the iSCSI network?

  I have a NETWORK card physical free that I can create a Virtual switch with a VMKernel port and then add it to the virtual machine, it would be the best solution?

  Thank you

  Yes the iscsi network, where by it would also be the LAN backup.

  Hello

  I love RAW map of LUN that I connected to several virtual machines on different hosts.

  Its been a very long time. Now, I don't remember which VM is connected to the LUN of my RAW card.

  I have a lot number of VM on each HOST so that it will take enormous time to search manually.

  Is anyway find VM connected to my RAW LUN map.

• Mobile external hard drive to virtual machine

  Due to lack of space on my laptop, I want to move my existing virtual machine to a new drive. Is there documentation for it? I could not find. If not, could someone quickly walk me through the process?

  Thank you

  This requires that you use a normal virtual machine, not a training based a Camp.

  1. Make sure that the virtual machine fits on your external drive. Specifically, some file systems such as fat cannot process large files, so if you want to use one of those, your virtual machine must use a formatted disk split. If the external hard drive is formatted in HFS +, you don't have to worry about this step

  2. Make sure that merger and your virtual machine of interest is not running. Never leave a VM under Fusion.

  3. Use the Finder to copy the VM on your external drive.

• Share a drive between Virtual Machines

  Hello

  I'm pretty new to VMware so forgive me if this is a silly question.  I am trying to create a shared drive for 2 different Virtual Machines on the same data store.  Each server has its own C: drive that has their installation in this document, which works fine, but I wish they have an E: drive shared that they can have access.  I tried to add a second virtual hard dirve for each machine and oriented the same file but the frist machine locks the file so that the other lights.

  Is there another way to do this?

  Thank you

  Yes it is not possible in this way. You can use a ROW which could be added as a hard drive in both these virtual machines. For purposes of sharing there are two options i.e.

  Virtual - for this nodes to the same ESX.

  Physics - for this nodes in two different ESX servers.

• Virtual machine does not start the Server Windows 2003 Std ISO file?

  Hello

  I am trying to create a virtual Windows 2003 machine, I created the ISO file, downloaded on my ISO library and connected the CDROM drive for the ISO file.

  When I boot the maching, I select the start menu and select the CDROM drive the virtual machine starts the ISO?

  The continuous boot just on the network card boot.

  It's as if the virtual machine does not see the CDROM drive?

  I use folder2iso

  To me, it sounds as if the ISO created may not be bootable! How did you create the ISO file?

• Creates a new Pool - does not create virtual machines

  Hi all

  Display using ESX 4.1u1, 4.6

  I've been using view for a good amount of time, able to create pools without issue.

  I tried to create a pool this morning and after configuring the settings, I hit the finish and he never started to provision VMs.

  I thought that maybe it was taking too long so I created a new pool with a couple of virtual machines to launch initial. Nothing.

  I restarted VCenter. And services.

  I should also restart the view connection server?

  I need it as soon as possible, so that any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Do you have your vCenter problems corrected?   I was wondering if this fixed your problem?

• Mount an .iso that is stored IN the virtual machine.

  Briefing Note: deploy us thin client on several campuses. Create us the model, deploy in each site, and then rebuild each pool. We now need to mount an image file .iso for one of the required programs. The .iso image file cannot be mounted with the software of in the virtual environment, because it uses a software of PortectDISC. We have the right number of drives, but customers have no disk drives.

  Problem: Since deploying the model, we must include the file .iso with her image. Normally, you would ride a .iso manually. However, load the file on each remote server .iso image and enter in each of hundreds of machines virtual one at a time to set the .iso way are not possible. Mount the .iso image file is our only option. Is there a way to store the .iso image file in the hard disk of the virtual machine and the virtual machine settings to rise from this point .iso? Or is it possible to include the image .iso with the model file when we deploy it is with each virtual machine and the path in the settings is already pointing to it?

  We tried to put the file .iso image on a store of data on one of our ESX servers, and then modified the model gold on this machine to point to the .iso image file. We reconstructed the pool, and the image .iso file mounted correctly. The problem with that is that we have 20 + machines trying to access the same file at the same time. Let the first few machines work, but the rest said it had disc read errors. So, we want to each machine to have its own .iso.

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  I have to add a warning that I use not models, but I don't think it is very relevant to my answer.

  @wila: well, I had thought about it, but when deploy us the image, it will automatically change the path to the file? For example, if we note the virtual drive to mount the .iso file to "\vm_template\cd.iso", then deploy, each of the virtual machines will not have this same path in their settings? Then they will all point to '\vm_template\cd.iso' instead of their own institution ' "\vm_##\cd.iso? '" If so, this would require we go each of hundreds of machines and set up manually every time that we deploy a model.

  If you do not add a path, then the iso that the virtual machine will try to open will be local to the virtual machine. You can simply do this by copying the vm to the path of your virtual machine, for example "[storage1] \vm_template" and affecting the CD this specific path.

  As is the same way, you can wait for the vSphere client is smart enough, it does not remove the path for drives in such a case, but not for CD...

  To use the vSphere Client to create the bases so far

  What I just did, go in the vmx file, deleted information path of superfluous and only left the name of the iso file, and all the true startConnected, not the virtual machine to make sure that my edit is OK, again registered the VM in the vSphere client, then started my VM and mounted the cdrom without any problem whatsoever.

  So - as expected - it works fine the iso file is local to the virtual machine and the local path comes first unless you assign specifically it different in the vmx file.

• FTP server on a virtual machine XP

  I have a set up problem on a FTP server on a virtual machine.  I'm out of prompt Windows XP on XP with Filezilla host that the server I'm trying to put in place.  Network connectivity is in NAT mode (I can't get bridged to work properly).  When I start the server, I can connect locally within the virtual machine, but I can not connect from outside the server.  Frankly, I don't know what IP address to use to connect.  I tried the IP address contained in an ipconfig on the client, the IP addresses listed as VMnet1 and VMnet8 when I run a command ipconfig on the host, as well as the IP found by visiting whatismyip.com from the guest.  None of them work properly.  Someone at - it ideas?

• How to set up the new switch/ports/NIC for MS iSCSI initiator

  Hello

  I'm looking for data on our main server snapshot and then include it with our VM through scripted admsnap commands. I found that the only way to attach/detach when the server is running must be involved in the Microsoft initiator path.

  I am now tripping over the implementation of networks necessary for this virtual machine display the SAN using the initiator.

  Our up to date is:

  vSwitch0 that vmnic0 & 1 (range 192.168.1.x) and is used for LAN traffic for the virtual machine

  vSwitch1 that vmnic3 (192.168.252.x range) and is used for SAN storage processor has

  vSwitch2 that vmnic2 (range 192.168.253.x) and is used for SAN B storage processor

  http://i44.Tinypic.com/20pezr4.gif [line] 

  Our ESX box can connect to the LUNS on the area of SAN ok but I just can't get the same ping VM after the addition of two new network cards and to configure them with the correct IP address, which I suppose is because the 192.168.252.x and 192.168.253.x ranges are not present on the virtual machine and there is this problem I would appreciate some advice on SAN storage processors. How you allow the virtual machine is to use vSwitch0 & 1

  Thank you.

How you allow the virtual machine is to use vSwitch0 & 1

  I'm guessing that you have added two new adapters with the label 'VM Network' network to this virtual machine?  I'm also guessing that vSwitch0 has no access or routing to the storage network.  If so, you will need to do is change the vSwitch1 and vSwitch2 to add a new type of virtual machine connection.  Click on the 'Properties' link beside vSwitch1/vSwitch2 and in the tab "Ports" click on the button 'Add '.  Choose 'Virtual Machine' in the type of connection, it give a descriptive label and click Finish. Then return to the virtual machine (change settings) and change the network connections in your virtual machine to point to the new label, that you just created.  Finally, configure or verify) addressing IP in Windows and try the Ping again.

  Good luck!

• How the Virtual Machine port group communication?

  How the Virtual Machine port group communication?

  Port group is virtual aggregation of ports on vSwitch. A vSwitch can have multiple Port groups which separate the different network traffic. Port groups communicate with vSwitch, and we have physical network maps on vSwitch which establish communication with the external network. We can configure security, NIC teaming, traffic shapping nework political and at the level of the port groups. Once the port group is created, we can assign to vNIC

  How to establish communication?

  Public network > Switch L3 Core > ESXi physical adapter > vSwitch > groups > virtual NIC > Virtual Machine

  Virtual machine connect to the physical map using vNIC coming on Port groups. This is how it works.
