Manually reset the VMID values

I use ESXi 5.5.0 update 1, but in general it is relevant for all versions of ESXi.  My question is, how can you redefine the VMID value for a virtual machine or reset the counter so that new virtual machines will then leave to a lower number?  When you run:

[root@esxcore01]:~-> vim - cmd vmsvc/getallvms]

You get a list of virtual machines on the host and they all have a VMID associated with them.  Generally starting at 1 and counting upwards.  Whenever you delete a virtual computer and re-create, there is just the next value in the list.  In my case where I throw a large number of virtual machines for a short period of time and then delete them when I'm actually, numbers VMID can easily stand up hundreds or thousands very quickly.  What I would do without a CD re - install the host is to reset the VMID table.  The steps I would like to follow is something like:

(1) delete all the virtual machines on the host or de-register all the virtual machines on the host.

(2) change the right configuration file to reset the counter

(3) create a new virtual machine or re - save a virtual machine and have it start the VMID 1.

Has anyone understand what configuration files must be modified to make this happen?

What I found is: [root@esxcore01]: /etc/vmware/hostd/vmInventory.xml contains a list of all the VMS registered on the host computer, but he calls VMID < objID >.  The < objID > is also at: [root@esxcore01]: /etc/vmware/hostd/pools.xml

There is no other reference to that in the configuration of the system.  So unless there is a database file that is in there, I don't know where to look. Y at - it a command that can reset the value?

I found a way to reset the counter that is currently used.  For example, say you have 4 guests:

Server 1 = VMID 1

Server 2 = VMID 2

Server 3 = VMID 11

Server 4 = VMID 20

If you remove the 3 and 4 of your inventory server, shut down the server 1 and 2 and then restart the ESX Server, the VMID table resets.  So once the ESX Server host / back to the top, you can add the 3 and 4 to the inventory server and they will VMID 3 and 4 VMID respectfully.

This has been fixed in the update of the client featured in KB3161608. Download and install it manually and make sure not to do a search of update running in the background at this time.

  • Reset the default value does not

    'Reset to the default value' does not work for my ListBox multicolumn, but it works for my string flags.  Someone at - he never encountered this before?

    I tried to remove all the elements and setting "default value to', but after another execution of the program, still not reset to nothing.  I have to do it programmatically in my code, and I can't do using the server reference VI Reset at the same time.  I have to define arrays of strings individually to null.

    I use a large number of nodes of property in my loop of consumer to read/write the values in the front panel.  Not sure if this is related.

    Thank you.

    This occurs because the value of a multicolumn listbox is a digital scalar or table (depending on the selection mode of the control) Express which line or the currently selected cell.

    "Reset to default" only resets the values and no other properties. In this case, it is the property of ref that hosts that we consider intuitively the value of listbox mc, but it's not.

  • Reset the default value at the close of the program

    Hi guys,.

    I should work on the main piece of my program, I think practical features for the user.

    A feature is to have the user entered by default the current value at the close.

    For example, in my situation, the user must specify the multiple instruments GPIB address.

    After that program has been executed and completed, the default values will be replaced by current address of GPIB

    like the GPIB addresses of the equipment will probably not change.

    I noticed the function of 'The VISA resource name'->-> use current default value of data operations.

    Is there a programmical way to change this?

    Thank you

    William

    You cannot change the default values of a VI running.  Instead, write the data to a configuration file to the fence. When the program opens, read the config file and set the values for what is in the file.

  • Reset the other values in the list of selection when it is clicked on a selection list.

    I'm currently developing a report based on various selection lists. I have three selection lists. When I select a value in that I want them to have the value zero. Like that when I select my button GB the report displays only the information related to the value in the selection list, I clicked.

  • How to reset a lov value (which is a VO) at the click of a button

    Hi Experts ADF,

    Version JDEv

    I have two of VO and the VO is dragged as a selectOneChoice as below

    VO1

    Select FIRST_NAME from employee where job_id = "AD_VP."

    VO2

    Select department_name in the Department where location_id > 1500

    < af:selectOneChoice value = "#{bindings." ViewObj1.inputValue}.

    label = "#{bindings." ViewObj1.label}.

    Binding = "#{backingBeanScope.TestBean.lov1} '"

    autoSubmit = 'true' shortDesc = "#{bindings." ViewObj1.hints.tooltip}.

    unselectedLabel = "- Select -" id = "soc1" >

    < f: selectItems value = "#{bindings." ViewObj1.items}"id ="si1"/ >

    < / af:selectOneChoice >

    < af:selectOneChoice value = "#{bindings." ViewObj1_1.inputValue}.

    label = "#{bindings." ViewObj1_1.label}.

    autoSubmit = 'true' shortDesc = "#{bindings." ViewObj1_1.hints.tooltip}.

    unselectedLabel = '- Select -' id = 'soc2 '.

    Binding = "#{backingBeanScope.TestBean.LoV2}" >

    < f: selectItems value = "#{bindings." ViewObj1_1.items}"id ="si2"/ >

    < / af:selectOneChoice >

    There is a button Add where I want to validate if the user has selected a value any. But, validation fails, because it assumes that the label is not selected as the index 0. It also assumes the first index selected as index 0

    I tried to print the values of the first index selected and unselected labels. There is 0 in both cases.

    System.out.println (lov1. GetValue());
    System.out.println (LoV2.GetValue ());
    lov1. SetValue(-1);
    LoV2.SetValue (-1);
    //lov1.ResetValue ();
    //LoV2.resetValue ();
    AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance () .addPartialTarget (lov1);
    AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance () .addPartialTarget (lov2);

    So, how to reset the two values on the button Add. Do I need to rerun the query of two VO?

    Thank you

    Hello

    If I make it empty or null, it does not reset. So the solution is to do the necessary = 'true' and showRequired = 'false '.

    Because it is 11.1.1.4.0 Jdev version, the "*" is displayed in the user interface.

    To avoid that I used custom css as below: -.

    .hideStar span {display: none ;}}

    And applied this particular component. If my application worked perfectly.

    styleClass = "hideStar."

    Add the listener to the button inside, I used the code to get the value of the drop down below

    String descriptionVal = (String) (resolveExpression ("#{bindings.")) CDDescriptionRVO1.attributeValue}'));

    String cdSubSectionVal = (String) (resolveExpression ("#{bindings.")) CDSubSectionRVO1.attributeValue}'));
