• List of all virtual machines running on a local storage

  Y at - it a script when it is applied to the virtual center would show the virtual machines that are running on a local storage of an esx host.  We have about 40 esx running on virtual Center host and there are some VM running on local storage that we have to go offshore, but I need a list of these virtual machines.

  If it helps the naming convention for the local storage data store is "exhostname_local".  This is the norm for all hosts.

  Any Advisor.

  It must be Friday

  Try it like this

  Get-Datastore local* | where {$_.ExtensionData.Host.Count -eq 1} | Get-VM -Location $_ | Select Name
  

• Looking for table of the physical limits on ESXi 4.1

  Hello

  I searched for some kind of table showing the difference between the editions ESXi 4.1.  But I always got the data from version 5 instead of 4!

  I am particularly interested to know the limit of memory for each virtual on ESXi 4.1 computer free and paid editions.  Well, my vSphere client tells me that my free license gives me 256 GB limit on the host hardware.  That's more than enough.  But what about memory for each virtual machine?  What limit?

  If someone is able to find this table, I appreciate it.

  TIA

  Ah, gotcha.

  Fortunately, vRAM payments do not exist in vSphere 4 in all. This goofiness is new in vSphere 5.

• List of Cluster and the virtual machines running on this group

  Hello

  I am looking for a way to discover all of the virtual machines that belong to a cluster. In other words, I want a list that maps a cluster to all virtual machines running on it.

  In the documentation of the API, I find that "ClousterComputeResouce"has a managed object to "HostSystem" reference. "

  And "HostSystem" is a reference to managed object to the 'VirtualMachine'.

  So I can do it like this: ClusterComputeResource-> ManagedObjectRefence-> ManagedObjectRefence (VirtualMachine)-> whatever_properties_I_need_from_the_VM (HostSystem).

  However, this would cause a lot of ' Vim::get_views"calls within a"foreach"loop." It would be a deterrent to performance as the vCetner in question has ~ 50 clusters and has ~ 3500 running VMs.

  I think this was going to literally kill the VirtualCenter with so many API calls.

  My Question: is there an effective way to find Cluster and their respective VMs in vSphere SDK Perl.

  In vSphere client, we get the tab 'Virtual Machine' when we click on the Cluster and you can see all the virtual machines that belong to this cluster. So I hope that there must be an easier way.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You don't need the host_view for this action. Why don't you use begin_entity for views of the vm?

  my $cluster = 'cluster1. "

  My $cluster_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type-online 'ClusterComputeResource',

  filter => {"name"-online qr / ^ $cluster / I});
  {if ($cluster_view)}
  My $vm_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine',

  begin_entity => $cluster_view.

  Properties-online ['name']);
  foreach {$vm_ref(@$vm_views) my
  print $vm_ref--> name. » \n » ;
  }
  }

  Hope that helps!

• Virtual machines, run extremely slow when the console is consulted 2 virtual machines Windows Server 2008 64-bit, Windows Server 2003 32-bit, 2 VMWare for virtual machine

  I'm in a difficult situtaition here.  I am the daily contact with a new client.  My linux guy, who is also my boss who is very busy, asked me to do some research trying to find answers for what's not on this server. We have a dual Quad Core 2.5 Ghz Lenovo server with 10 GB of ram.  2 500 GB hard drives are Raid 1.  We run Virtual Server VMWare 2 on a Debian with Gnome installation as a user interface for the side of things Linux.  Grub is the boot loader. There are two virtual machines running on the server.  The one machine that serves as a domain controller is a Windows SBS 2008 Server 64 bit, and the secondary machine has no responsibility domain.  The second machine is a Windows Server 2003 32-bit.  the 10 GB of ram 6 GB is allocated to the SBS server and 4 GB to the 2003 server.

  The problem I am running into is that everything is so slow, especially if I connect remotely to do any sort of administration on the network.  Some examples of issues I've noticed is that as soon as I log on the server via Remote Desktop SBS console management Windows Server spike to 80-95% CPU usage and it will not stop unless I close the management console.  Another instance is that if I open Backup Exec 12.5 on the SBS server it will kill the speed of the processor as well.  Long story short, there are a lot of machine to do what we need to do, but something is not configured right and non of us know what it is.  Another point to note is that the server has been in production for about 3 weeks, and the server seemed to have locked up just twice.  My professional guess is that over time, some chose thing is eating causing the crash of the memory.

  Sorry I do not have much technical insight on this topic, but this is the best I have to offer.  Any questions you all have, I'll ask my people and see if I can answer, but I could really use your help here.

  Thank you in advance,

  Heath

  2 things:

  1 you really need hard drives more than 2 in a RAID 1 for proper performance under load. More disks the better. Although I don't think that's what your problem is, he'll probably be the problem Next you will do.

  2. I don't know exactly where the configuration file is on your box of Debian for VMware Server, but you should consider adding the following options in the configuration file (on windows, it's the vmware 'config.ini'):

  prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100".

  MemTrimRate = 0

  sched.mem.pshare.Enable = "FALSE".

  mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE".

  If you do some research, you can read about what these options (the largest is the memory page sharing - it should only be left on if you have a bunch of similar virtual machines running on the same box, that you don't have.) I honestly know why this is on by default, he kills the CPU when virtual machines are running different operating systems). These are the options that I now use standard in VMware Server deployments, with huge performance increases after you have added the. Just give a try.

  Edit: Also make sure that you have installed in your virtual machines VMware tools.

• 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
  

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

• Virtual machine running on snapshot but there are no spanpshot on the Snapshot Manager.

  Hi all,

  After a backup with VMware Data Recovery failure (error-3960 cannot suspend virtual machine), I have a virtual machine running on snapshot (see attachment) but there is no snapshot on the Snapshot Manager. Is the command to "consolidate" (I have never used this feature) the solution?

  Thank you.

  Marco.

  OK let me explain.

  As the chain of snapshot is not displayed in snapshot Manager, you can correct this problem in two ways.

  1 engage the snapshot command line. If you are uncomfortable in the command line, follow this KB KB VMware: commit snapshots on ESXi host command line if you are not comfortable follow step 2.

  2. create a new snapshot for this virtual machine (this will create a chain of snapshot, and you can see the snapshot in the Snapshot Manager), once the snapshot is created successfully. You can remove the snapshot in the Snapshot Manager.

  Hope this is clear. Let me know if not

• Gwetting a list of all virtual machines and used space

  
  I apologize for my very basic question.

  I need to make a file (better if an Excel file) with a list of all virtual machines in a simple 5.x vSphere infrastructure including 2 VMare ESXi 5.x servers and the disk space used (allocated, used) of each virtual computer.

  The easiest way seems to list the virtual machines from the vSphere client and export the list as a .xls file.

  It seems simple, but when I look at the file I see a lot of missing VMs or a large number of missing values for several virtual machines (just the Runts).

  Is this a problem with my vSphere client?

  I tried to create a PowerCli script using the "Get - VM|" Select-object Name"command, but my limited skills will let me extract the value of the used space.»

  Can someone please provide a sample of PowerCli I can just copy and use?

  Is there another way to get the information I need?

  Concerning

  Marius

  .

  Not knowing that if you have configured a cluster or just stand-alone hosts, here is one simple line...

  Get-VMHost-name | get - vm | select name, usedspaceGB

  From there, you can make formatting, get total usage etc.

• Two guests of virtual machine running in Bridge Mode connection question

  Hello

  I seem to be a little lost with a problem.  What I've read, VMWare Server is free (I plan to use it in a test environment, which is low-budget).  I installed on a server and got two VMGuests of installation at the moment.  The question I have is that I don't see the first guest that I boot on the network at any time? Anyone who encountered this?  that is, if I start the server A and Server B then, Server A is located on the network without problem but can't change anything to or from Server B.  If I stopped server server B still does not work.  If I stop the server B and then start up with the server still does not, it will work on the network.

  At first, I thought that because it's free it will allow only one server at once, but I don't think it's true.  The only other thing I can possibly think, is that I just copied a basic virtual machine Image I created so that both servers are at the same image.  When asked if I had copied from moved it I chose move, this might be the reason, and I need to select copied?

  Anyone got any ideas please?

  Kind regards

  Looking for a line like the following, with a text editor in the file .vmx for each of your virtual machines:

  ethernet0.generatedAddress = "00: 0C: 29:b2:04:03.

  There may be several entries being Ethernet if you have multiple network cards. That's how the MAC address is set and must match what ' ipconfig/all' or 'ifconfig - a' shows you in this prompt.

  MAC addresses are not totally free but you can manually change the lowest few bytes (for example the 03 to 05 in the example above) or a more correct way is to add another NETWORK card and then delete the original, a copy.

  When you reach the point of having the 'model' virtual machines - where you copy the files manually to a new location to create a new virtual machine - and then add the following line to the .vmx to avoid this problem doesn't happen:

  UUID.action = "crΘer".

• I have a complaint on my Mac Book Pro. I bought my computer in January 2016 and it has two problems: the first is the display of the retina that has many traces of the keyboard and as many times it freezes. I have looked for help on the local Apple Store

  I have a complaint on my Mac Book Pro. I bought my computer in January 2016 and it has two problems: the first is the display of the retina that has many traces of the keyboard and as many times it freezes. I have looked for help on the local Apple Store and support too, but it did not help. I would like you help me solve this problem.

  Thank you.

  Kelly

  Your machine is still under warranty, so you should take it to your local Apple store for repairs. Function late in January, you bought it, you still have phone without support. If you can't find any help on the Apple Store, then I don't know what you expect to find here. We have no way to check for problems you have described or any additional hardware, etc.

• Extend a datastore in vCenter with virtual machines running

  We have expanded our Volume and unit number logic on our NetApp SATA VMStore from 2 TB to 4 TB, we now want to expand in vCenter, I'm ok to do this within office hours, while VMS are running on the data store?

  Going via configuration - storage - etc etc...

  It should be good. Off-peak hours are preferable, because you must make playback etc.

  This will not affect the virtual machine running inside.

  Unless there is a particular requirement, why not go with 2 TB Lun? I mean add another 2 TB logical unit number rather than add a measure?

• Impossible to reconnect to a virtual machine running

  Hello

  I removed decadent a virtual machine running in the inventory.

  The machine virtual is critical and cannot be stopped.

  When I try to browse the data store the option "add to the inventory" is grayed out.

  How can I reconnect it to the inventory?

  Thank you

  Boaz

  Alternatively, you can try to reboot the virtual machine in vCenter:

  1 vim - cmd vmsvc/getallvms

  2 vim - cmd vmsvc/reload xx
  (xx is the VMID provided by the first command)

• All virtual machines running on ESXi 5.1 statement of Rx packet loss

  Can some of you please do me a favor? Find a virtual machine of yours running on ESXi 5.1, preferably 1117900 and let me know if you see a Rx packet loss in performance stats vCenter provides. Each single VM in my environment records packet loss. Virtual machines running on ESXi 5.0 are not related that at all. This also isn't a problem at the level of the host that there is no loss of package noted it.

  This is a known bug-

  A scanned document is an image; You can't find a picture.

  If the image contains text, recognition of characters (OCR) will convert the 'text' in the image in real text (searchable, editable).

  OCR can be performed automatically when converting a PDF to Word, using the ExportPDF service.

  To run OCR inline in a PDF document, you will need Acrobat.

• You can enable CDP on a host with virtual machines running?

  I want to activate CDP on my 3 hosts vShpere 4.1. Each host has about 20 guests on this subject. If I activate CDP via putty will affect the network connectivity of the virtual machines running on the vSwitch? Can I move all the VMS hospitality first?

  Hi Letstub,

  There is no need to evacuate your virtual machines from the vSwitch. Enable or disable CDP has no impact on the communications of the network of virtual machines. The following article that explains how to enable CDP mentions this prerequisite:
