Material UUID in vmware 6.0?

VMware KB: UUID of the ESX host is not unique

One of my clients faces the questions above on several of his guests trying to add them to a backup device that does not support duplicate material UUID.
Unfortunately, the method used to determine UUID material in the KB does not work with ESX 6, (gives a 503 error) and appears not to be the same UUID recovered with system UUID esxicli get. Y at - it another way to get the hardware/host UUID (apparently NOT the UUID system)?

Hello

You must activate objects managed in ESXi 6 host Explorer.

VMware KB - https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2108405

To enable or disable the managed object browser using the vSphere client connected directly to the ESXi host, follow these steps:

  1. In the vSphere Client, select the host in the inventory.
  2. In the right pane, click the Configuration tab.

  3. Under software, select Advanced settings.

  4. In the left pane of the Advanced Settings dialog box, select Config > HostAgent > plugins > solo.

  5. Select or deselect Config.HostAgent.plugins.solo.enableMob to enable or disable the managed object browser.

Also, you can pull the UUID using Powercli Script, see this post - http://thephuck.com/scripts/script-to-pull-host-uuid-for-vmware-powercli/

  • How to get the underlying material UUID

    That is the question: is it possible to get the UUID of a guest operating system (Windows) underlying material to prevent virtual machines to copy to another host? In other words, I need a way to detect that a virtual machine with my active software have been copied to another material. My protection is based on the MAC address of the NETWORK card and the card mother UUID.

    Thank you in advance.

    The VMware tool exposed not something of special for you in the key out of... There is a way to define custom attributes in the .vmx file, which can then be extracted with the client, the problem with this is A) you must add an entry in the .vmx need still the privileges that we discussed B) this can be blocked by defining specific within the .vmx security entries for do not allow this information

    I would recommend you contact VMware for the best approach to this problem and certainly sign for TAP

  • Material level of VMware vmfs LUNs 4 through 7, issue.

    Hello

    We are currently using esx 4.0 and virtual material all our vm are at version 4. I need to upgrade to version 7 to take advantage of the new api of storage etc.

    My question is, when I've upgrade to version 7 will change the backend disk array vmfs config anyway. Sounds silly and I'm pretty sure that the answer is no. However my production servers and test servers are on the same Lun, so I don't want to upgrade a test version 7 virtual machine and then discover he did change for my LUN vmfs my vm production is also on.

    Thank you

    Craig

    You are right. There is no change in anything other than the VM. No change to VMFS...

  • Impression of MS PowerPoint of Vmware Fusion

    I've created a slide in PowerPoint 2003 I want to print several copies of (such as 125). Whenever I set up printing of multiple copies, I get only one. This was not a problem in the past, but I don't know when the last time I printed multiple what whatsoever. Can anyone help with this?

  • Using a recovery disk to install on VMWare Player

    I apologize if I am posting this in the wrong place, but I'm finding things to do in VirtualBox, but I want to know if it is possible to do in VMWare. When I bought this laptop, it had Windows on it and I made a recovery disk which is locked on my laptop hardware and then installed crunchbang linux and VMWare Player under him. I run dmidecode for my list of equipment. Now, my question is, is there a way to change the material of the VMWare to emulate the hardware of my laptop so I can install on my recovery disk? Otherwise I'll have to go to the local store and buy Windows.

    The only material that is passed to the VM is the CPU - another hard while is virtualized.

  • First time user VMware - perhaps a silly question re: server hardware

    Thus,.

    I started using VMware a couple of days for the tests. I have a client who has VMware ESX Server 3i installed they have a HP Server and I have a Dell Server I installed the same version of VMware ESXi.

    If I download their images run on Dell Server? Or is it that there is a problem?

    Rgds

    Chris

    PS - Sorry if this is a silly question

    Chris,

    That's what VMware call the independence of the material. http://www.VMware.com/virtualization/virtual-machine.html#c25953

    Basically, your VM has no knowledge of what is running on the hardware - so feel free to move to Dell for HP hardware and back.

    However - vMotion, the displacement of an engine on the virtual machine from one server to another server requires similar processors on both hosts.

    I hope this helps.

    Yes, it's possible and not only W2K3. You can also use any other operating systems such as W2K, XP, Linux...

    There is also a free version: VMware Server 2.x.

    In the virtual machine, you will find a material unified, which means you can push the guest around various VMware products.

    You have USB, audio series, parallel, LAN available. If you need to connect via the wireless or aome other type of network that you can achieve as long as this communication device has a TCP/IP stack.

    What do you mean by video? A graphics card or some sort of card TV etc. ? Of course, you have a virtual video card.

    See this link for virtual material available under VMware Workstation (click on the ">" at the top): http://pubs.vmware.com/ws65_ace25/ws_user/intro_vmspec_ws.html

    See this link for virtual material available under VMware Server (Page 28): http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmserver2.pdf

    How effective is this tool.

    It depends on what you want to do in my humble OPINION. It is not effective if you want to play high-end, latest games to edge. But for all other purposes as

    -have more than one type of operating system for reasons any

    -Development

    -Creation of network for the test scenarios, learning

    -Distribution application

    - and all cases where you need more of a BONE

  • 2 GB Split problem - vdiskmanager do not obey

    Hi @ll,

    We have a strange effect with a vmware virtual disk file in one of our vmwares.

    But first of all the necessary information of the host system and the prompt:

    host system:

    • Windows 2008 server r2 Enterprise Edition 64-bit
    • VMware workstation 8.0.1 build-528992

    comments to VMware system:

    • Windows 2008 server r2 Enterprise Edition 64-bit
    • the vmware box was created and installed on the same host system
    • during installation, the vmware virtual disk has been updated with a size of 1 TB as not préallouée hard drive stored in several files
      the properties of this disc are also listed under vmware hardware parameters after installation

    noticed the problem

    1. the comment system is fully operational and running
    2. We store about 150 GB on the guest system before at a backup of the box, we noticed that we got only one big vmdk file
    3. We tried to solve the problem with vmware-vdiskmanager -r sourceDisk.vmdk -t 1 targetDisk.vmdk but ended up with the same result on the new targetdisk
    4. We also noticed at that time here that we need 500 GB more space at all as we expand the drive with
      VMware-vdiskmanager - x 500 GB sourceDisk.vmdk
    5. at that time the next thing strange happens because this time the vdiskmanager tool created new files 320KO container with the endings sourceDisk - s001.vmdk til sourceDisk - s252.vmdk
    6. to solve this problem at all we tried once more with the vdiskmanager. because we expect some false information in the header of vmdk we think that maybe solve it in two steps. first convert it back into a single expandable file and only the back of a not preallouee with multiple files, so we used
      vmware-vdiskmanager -r sourceDisk.vmdk -t 0 dummyDisk.vmdk
      vmware-vdiskmanager -r dummyDisk.vmdk -t 1 newSourceDisk.vmdk
    7. but ultimately the newSourceDisk.vmdk were once more a big single files but material adjustment of vmware for the material still speaks a different language (hard drive not preallouee stored in several files)
    8. Maybe someone have any idea how to fix it because it's not funny at all to copy a big file over the network

    Thanks for the tips... and a Merry Christmas to all

    welcome them

    vmdk-type called 2 GB divided into growth = twoGBmaxextendSparse has 2 sub-types:
    a smaller than 950 GB

    a more than 950 GB

    smaller disks are born with a fragment of 2 GB size
    larger disks are created with a fragment of 2 TB size

    your descriptor vmdk (the small text file) should look like this bmdk of 1200 GB:

    # Disk DescriptorFile
    version = 1
    Encoding = "windows-1252".
    CID = fffffffe
    parentCID = ffffffff
    isNativeSnapshot = 'no '.
    createType = "twoGbMaxExtentSparse.

    # Description of the measure
    RW SPARSE 2726297600 "1200gbsplit - s001.vmdk".

    # The database disk
    #DDB

    ddb.virtualHWVersion = '8 '.
    ddb.longContentID = "db9687d43e00e32b64eed318fffffffe".
    DDB. UUID = "60 00 C2 99 5th d7 e4-85 94, f1 7th 10 60 89 fc b2"
    DDB. Geometry.Cylinders = "190917".
    DDB. Geometry.Heads = "255".
    DDB. Geometry.sectors = "56".
    ddb.adapterType = "free".

    How yu created your vmdk is beyond me - thanks for posting the descriptor

    by the way - if you value your data, you should not use that big growing VMDK

  • Anyone with an iMac11 of mid-2010, 3 find correct and compatible RAM?

    I just recently bought a refurbed 27 "Mac which has 2 GB and 2 GB of Ram, 2 slots (ports?).

    Photoshop Elements 6 works particularly ill w / beach ball all the other movements of spinning!

    For this and many other reasons as well, it would seem that some RAM expansion can be spot - we.

    Go here > http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/imac-aluminum-faq/imac-intel-aluminum-21.5-inch-27-inch-how-to-upgrade-memory.html ... revealed that minor variations can make one incompatible.

    All got pretty confusing!

    Anyone out there, matching my specs (below) who found the RAM really good?

    All iMac Mid 2010 use modules of PC3 - 10600 1333 MHz SO - DIMM 204 pins.

    See > install memory in an iMac - Apple Support

    Problem is that the Mac is very picky and not just any PC3-10600 1333 MHz modules will work.

    Your best bet is to buy for providers like OWC and Crucial memory modules that specialize iMac RAM.

    You can add 2 2 GB or 4 GB 2 modules to the existing 2 modules of 2 GB that are currently installed in this model.

  • Outlook and Chrome not answer-constantly

    I noticed that especially after coming from his sleep, Chrome and Outlook (2011) will not answer.  There is no solution but to the family force them.  An activity Manager does not show their or their assistants to be processor or memory overload; in fact, my RAM is usually less than half used. Why these software don't like my iMac?

    If the problem started after you update OS X...?  Then, it looks like you will have to perhaps to update or uninstall these third-party App which are the cause of the problem.
