LUN directly linking to the virtual machine
Hello
I have a cluster of 2 IBM x 3650 M3 ESXi5.0 and IBM N3300 system storage (NetApp FAS2020) CF.
My question is how to attach logical unit number to an operating system directly invited (win2008 R2) using FCP?
At the moment I add NPIV successfully to my VM but one can not access the LUN. System and initiator of the stogare groups are configured with the WWN, but still no success.
My plan is to use a unit number logic to multiple virtual machines with the aim to store multiple databases in a safe place.

Yes, but can I assign a RDM to a virtual computer and share it to other virtual machines?
There is another option... to use a same vmdk of several virtual machines, but my boss wants to open the file in case of failure of the virtual machine and I don't know how to make this opening...
Yes, this can be done. All by adding the new RDM choose a different SCSI controller (ex: 1:0) with the option of sharing of Bus. Please refer to the configuration guide MSCS, section 3, "Creating virtual machines across physical hosts"

Unique ID of the Virtual Machine
Nice day!
We are
software development APIs and the end user for Microsoft Windows OS and unfortunately
We are dealing with the problems of piracy of software on virtual machines. We would like to
ask questions about the ability of unique identifier Machine virtual Vmware that we can use
during our method of licensing to prevent software piracy. In our case, the
Black ice software can be installed more than once on the same Virtual Machine
processor. Could please inform us how we can (if it is possible) check you
the setting of the Virtual Machine that is unique and does not belong to any other VM
computers running on the same processor (s)?
Thank you!
Kind regards

Session data>Hello
You can try another approach to the UUID of the virtual machine. There are several problems with this:
-To get this info from the virtual machine, you must point the PowerCLI script to a management as vCenter server. This may alter much a security policy. For my part could never allow that.
-Second is not directly queryable within the virtual machine itself.
I suggest you watch the getinfo VMware Backdoor options to see if something that you can use in that it is directly queriable within the virtual machine and can not be disabled at the moment. Output may be limited, but it cannot be deleted. This is commonly called RedPill and there is a lot of code out there that will help you to access the backdoor.

Take a snapshot of a lun SAN: How do I disassemble the virtual machine?
SAN is FC 9958E Hitachi, ESX 3.5 update 2.
I try to take a snapshot of a lun (with a virtual machine in this regard) san and must turn off the virtual machine and disassemble the VMFS virtual machine so I can do that there is no I/O will the lun when I take the snapshot.
How can I (of) a virtual machine of the VMFS without making the other virtual machines running in the same cluster? I know that the VMFS is a system of shared files grouped campaigns, exclusive property of vmware. Does anyone know the command to use?
If anyone has any info on this subject, it would be great.
This is the documentation is 1.5 ESX, released in 2002.
The command no longer exists in recent versions.

Host detects the virus that is ran in the virtual machine
When I google search for "virus to test download" and open the 2nd link in my windows 7 VM, avast on my host computer is like VIRUS DETECTED. I'm guessing that this occurs because the virtual computer uses the internet hosts.
PS: it was once my I.T. teacher told me that he was sure navigation in a virtual machine.
Host antivirus can detect the test virus in the network traffic and also could detect when the VM saves on hard drive of the virtual machine (which, after all, is stored just as a set of files on the hard drive of the host). Some antivirus programs scan even the memory used by all processes running, in which case it can also discover that the test virus from the data in the memory of the virtualization engine. None of these situations are a source of real concern for the host.
Navigation in a virtual machine is generally considered safe from the point of view of the host, but virtualization will do nothing to directly protect the OS itself invited to malware that it can capture.
Note that VMware Workstation has a few features that deliberately to break the isolation barrier and could expose the host to a malicious client. If you are worried about it, a good starting point to lock the virtual computer is to go in the settings of the virtual machine, choose the Options tab, make sure the shared folders is disabled (under Guest insulation), make sure that the Clipboard and features drag-and - drop are disabled.
See you soon,.

How to install the virtual machine to ISO image
Rather than burning a CD from ISO images downloaded from each OS you want to build a virtual machine it would be more convenient to use the ISO image directly. How can I achieve this?
Create the virtual computer with CD player.
Double click the CD drive in the virtual machine properties.
Select USE AN ISO IMAGE
Navigate to the image.
and also you can refer to this link
VMware Workstation 12 Pro Documentation Center
you're installation uses several CDs pleae follow this procedure
First duty (if the customer has a button for this) eject the CD in the comments, then ctrl-alt to focus the host, right click on the CD icon in the bar area of low right state of the workstation user interface and select disconnect; repeat, and then click edit. Select the image ISO next necessary; reconnect; then click the mouse back in the window of the customer and to know that the next CD is loaded.

failure of the virtual machine to see the ISO image
Hello
Beginners issue with 60 day trial of ESX 3.5, using the client to create the virtual machine and after trying the Client device and peripheral host against CD\DVD with connect to power option selected. What power on Virt machine it starts directly in the DHCP search and seem not to be able to press F2 to enter the BIOS to change the boot order. Am I missing something obvious? but hoped he could detect my ISO image of the operating system Windows Server on my DVD
Thank you

I have Win7 Pro SP1 x 64. I downloaded WindowsXPMode_en - us.exe (from Microsoft downloads) and run it. The installation seems to work OK (I've specified a different location for the parent virtual hard disk file). Then, installation happening and I provide the information requested (name of user and password for the XP Mode), updates Windows and OK to the issue of sharing. The installation program then reports the following error:
The disk hard virtual parent is in a saved state. Discard the saved state or stop the virtual machine and try again.
I get the error even if I try manually configure XP Mode (use the Setup Wizard). I downloaded the installer XPMode (3 times) and reinstalled several times, always with the same result. If it helps, I can't locate anywhere .vsv file.
Any idea what's going on?

Unable to add the virtual machine network services
Hello:
I already read that warning Virtual PC 2007 is not compatible with win 7-64.
However, I read that it is "unofficially" possible launch.
OK, I installed it and it worked except networking.
Basically, I need to install the Virtual Machine Network Services.
I right click on my network card-> properties-> install-> services-> virtual machine network services (VPC2007 folder: where I can see VMNetSrv.inf)
Then says Windows: it is impossible to add the requested feature. The specified service has been marked for deletion.The problem is that I get this error even on WinXP SP3, so I think that there is something else wrong.
And of course, Virtual PC 2007 available networks are only: no connection, Local, NAT. (Missing my physical adapter)
Thank you!!!

Hello
I worked on a project of automation of the vra. In Orchestrator I have access to all the information for a particular component VM (for example, vCACVm, vCenterVm, virtualmachineEntity, vCACHost, vCACVmProperties objects) in the multi machine environment. But I have no information for the parent appservice (usually there will be a 'fake' vm as parent for multi machine environment). For example, if I need to know the virutalmachineID of this parent 'VM' how to do it through vCAC API? I checked around and out to the desperate. Someone from http://dailyhypervisor.com/vrealize-automation-vcac-6-1-building-vco-workflows-for-multi-machine-blueprints/ says vCACEntity.getlink (vCACHost, "ChildVirutalMachines"), which seems the only link between parents and children vms. I certainly know that there should be an easy way to connect the machine virtual parent/child and go to the other, but how?
Any response is appreciated!
Concession of thank you for your response. It is the most common way that we tried. However, all properties we don't see anything pointing to the parent app "appservice' of a vm component. Last night I thought I found the answer. A property is shared between 'parent' and 'children': provisioningGroupID; It turns out that the name confusion is actually for "business group" for all the virtual machines belong to this group of companies will have the same value, not only the family of multi machine.

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).
