• Printing to a printer from a virtual computer network

  I hope I'm not too much of an easy situation, but is there a FAQ thread for printing on a network from a virtual computer printer please?

  
  

  I just spent an hour setting up a network printer in a VM with forward gun they realized that, then my network is 192.168.1.1, (the printer is 192.168.1.113 and side Mac can see another printer on the network) virtual machine network seems to reside at 192.168.236.2

  Canon has a process of installing network printers, but he can't see the network printer when he's looking for printers.
  

  
  

  They say that my computer is not on the same network where the printer is located.
  

  You're running bridged or NAT networking?

• Get the data from a virtual computer store

  I'm looking to get the data from a virtual computer store, but format to be used with vmrun.  My current vmrun statement is:

  vmrun t CR h < IPAddress > https://: 443/SDK u & lt; username & gt; Pei & lt; password & gt; runProgramInGuest "[& lt;. datastorename & gt;] & lt; datastorefolder & gt; / & lt; virtualmachinename & gt;. VMX' c:\myscript.bat

  The idea is to replace & lt; datastorename & gt; given with the name of the LUN that is running on a virtual machine.  In this case, I'm running my statement vmrun from inside a script PowerCLI.  I can use a variables powerCLI, if the vmrun instruction can take and use all escape sequences are needed to adapt the format vmrun to this argument.

  That is right.

• Remove a hard drive from a virtual computer running

  Hello everyone. Is there a way to remove a hard drive from a virtual computer running? Of course we can add a disk to a computer that is incredibly convenient, but there are times that we blow an as well. When clicked on the drive in the VI Client button is grayed out delete. I would have thought that other people would want to do that as well, but looking around the net and forums I find nothing!

  Its not feasible in 3.5 and below.

  Haven't tried yet in 4...

• Strange problem after moving from the virtual computer to a new data store

  I am migrating our VM existing (8 in total) a 'problem' RAID to a new table on a new controller and am having a strange problem. Here are the steps I took (host OS is Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS x 64):

  (1) off the power the virtual computer from the Web interface

  (2) the directories created for each virtual on the new RAID array computer (in this case a RAID 10 array on LSI 9750-8i controller)

  (3) rSync used to copy the data from RAID1 to be RAID2

  4) has created a new data store on the new RAID through the Web Server of VMWare user interface.

  (5) removed VM of the inventory through the Web, their return, added user interface then choose files .vmx on new data store on RAID2

  They have all power save fine... but three of them are not accessible on the network. I can open a console in the Web Server of VMWare user interface and they all run normally... but I can't their ping or access the respective virtual machine Web GUI. It seems quite arbitrary that those who work and those who are not. In this case... the VM that don't work is a license Autodesk, a Squid proxy server and a VM of cactus. All three of these virtual machines are 32-bit Ubuntu Server VM (two 8.0.4 and a 10.0.4)... and are the only Ubuntu VM on this host. It must be signifigant but I'm not see how.

  If I delete these three virtual machines of the inventory again and add to their original location (on the RAID1) they light up AND work normally. A consultant that we were working seemed surprised, as he had also done this experiment with some of the older VMWare products. I don't see how it would be the physical location of the files of the virtual machine. Any ideas?

  We rely on the migration to ESXi soon but in the meantime, we get these a few VM out of this RAID array problem. I'm stuck.

  Depending on the application, it may be enough to reconfigure the IP parameters (they are very probably on DHCP now) for the newly detected virtual NIC.

• Best way to migrate without Vmotion virtual computer

  Hi all

  I was wondering if you have ESX vmotion but have HA which is the best way to migrate the virtual computer on to the oringal in a cluster host when HA moves a virtual machine because of a failure of the host.

  I know that you can export the VM over the other host when he returns to the top and you can add it to the inventory if it is a hardware failure and the original host will not return upward anytime soon.  What is the best way to achieve this?  is there maybe a console command to grow HA a virtual machine over another host or export is still the best way?

  Welcome to the forums - with vmotion output, there is no way to do it with out the time - the easiest way is to turn off the virtual machine - unsubscribe form the host is on - don't use the browser to store data on the second andreadd from host to host and turn on the virtual machine - you should be able to do this in less than 5 minutes.

• How do divide you a virtual machine between two data stores?

  We just installed a new SAN ICSI and created an ISCSI target on it. We have created a new data store on our server ESXi 4.0 and reminded our Iscsi target. Our virtual machines have two logical drives, for the system partition C: and E: for data. At present, all virtual machines are residing on the 1 data store, which is located on the local hard drives of the esxi server. How pass readers E: of the virtual machine to the SAN and let C: readers where they are?

  Hello

  Or if you don't have a Vmotion, you can use stand-alone Vcenter converter to migrate your VM on the same ESXi host. and during this process on the Advanced tab, you can divide your virtual disks in the desired data store. You can keep the C: drive as it is on the same data store and add new vmdk and select its data store that you want, and then can move E: or D: drive until the new vmdk.

  In this way, you can split your C: and other disks on different vmware disks on different data warehouses.

  Let me know if it helps.

  Kind regards

• Using Get - view instead of Get - VM for BusSharingMode from a virtual computer

  Yet again, another issue was with Get - view. I searched a lot of documentation, but still I don't get the logic how to find good properties that I need to use.

  In this case, I need to transfer this one:

  Get - VM | Get-SCSI controller. Where-Object {$_.} BusSharingMode - eq ˜Physical"} | Select {$_.} Parent.Name}, BusSharingMode

  in:

  Notice-EEG - ViewType VirtualMachine-Property Name,Config.NameofthePropertyforBusSharingMode

  I will be grateful if someone could provide a documentation (or at least give me an idea what to read to get oriented) on these properties and their format so that they can be used to Get-View.

  The closest thing I found is this one: http://pubs.vmware.com/vi3/sdk/ReferenceGuide/vim.VirtualMachine.html and the VirtualMachineConfigInfo: http://pubs.vmware.com/vi3/sdk/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.ConfigInfo.htmlhttp://pubs.vmware.com/vi3/sdk/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.ConfigInfo.html
  I guess that in this case, we are talking about VirtualHardware (SCSI controller): http://pubs.vmware.com/vi3/sdk/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.VirtualHardware.html and still I cannot establish the connection.

  It is all documented in the VMware vSphere QAnywhere, but as the title suggests, this is a reference.

  The vSphere Web Services SDK Programming Guide is intendedas a learning guide.

  Only no VMware book that explains a bit more on the vSphere API and objects is the book of Steve Jin, called VMware VI and vSphere SDK: management of VMware Infrastructure and vSphere

  It is written for Java developers, but it explains the basic concepts.

  In this specific question, you must know that all devices connected to a virtual computer is located in Config.Hardware.Device.

  It is a loop through the devices and extract the virtual SCSI controllers, also with bus physics active sharing.

  Once you have, it's simple extract properties.

  foreach ($vm in Get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine - Name property, Config.Hardware.Device) {}

  $scsi = $vm. Config.Hardware.Device | where {$_-is [VMware.Vim.VirtualSCSIController] - and $_.} SharedBus - eq "physicalSharing"}

  {if ($SCSI)}

  $scsi | Select @{N = "VM"; E = {$vm. Name}},

  @{N = "Controller"; E={$_. DeviceInfo.Label}},

  @{N = "BusSharingMode"; E={$_. SharedBus}}

  }

• VMs migration from one to another on ESXi 5.1 data store (free license)

  I'm under ESXi in my lab (for the Cisco voice servers and a few Windows virtual machines). Virtual machines are on a datastore iSCSI hosted by a Netgear ReadyNAS Pro Business. Due to major problems with iSCSI on the ReadyNAS platform and the inability of Netgear to resolve problems (blocking NAS requiring a hard reset), I decided to buy a QNAP TS - 569 L and use it to host my ESXi data store. Now, I'm migrating my VMs from the iSCSI data store hosted on the ReadyNAS to the iSCSI data store hosted by QNAP.

  My VMs are supplied thin, and I want to preserve thin provisioning after migration. The data store Navigator ESXi can move (or copy) machines virtual data to another store, but thin-set in service virtual machines become thick-set service once they have been moved (or copied). Somebody advised Veeam to that end, I've installed and configured. Unfortunately, Veeam-error with the message that the current license does not have the migration of virtual machines from a data store to another. Just today, I learned that he must have at least the ESXi Essentials ($500) license to allow this type of migration of Veeam.

  I also tried OVFTool (the MMware command line utility), using the following syntax:

  . / ovftool - ds QNAP-iSCSI - dm = vi thin: / / vi [email protected]/CUCM-Pub: / / [email protected]

  where:

  QNAP-iSCSI is the name of the data store on the QNAP

  192.168.200.10 is the IP address of my box of ESXi that is connected to two data stores iSCSI (the one organized by the ReadyNAS and the other by the QNAP).

  CUCM-Pub is the name of the virtual machine on the ReadyNAS iSCSI data store I'm migrating to the QNAP iSCSI data store.

  However, I get the following error message:

  Error: Unexpected Option: vi: / / [email protected]/CUCM-Pub

  This is probably due to the same issue - free ESXi license does not allow this type of VM migration. So, what are my options with free ESXi license? I'm not willing to pay $500 for the license of the essential at this stage.

  Thank you!

  A few options, I can think of are:

  • export to the FVO and re - import
  • use VM explore Trilead and backup/restore virtual machines
  • Use the vmkfstools command to copy the virtual disks

  The New-VM cmdlet takes a single value of the parameter - data store and all of the virtual disks will be located on this data store.

  If I understand your request, you create a virtual machine with 2 virtual disks, each on a different data store.

  You can use the cmdlet New - hard drive for it.

  $datastore1 = get-datastore | where-object {$_.Name -eq "lun1"}
  $datastore2 = get-datastore | where-object {$_.Name -eq "lun2"}
  
  $vm = new-vm -name vmtest01 -VMHost ESXserver -datastore $datastore1 -diskmb 8192 -memorymb 4096 -numcpu 2 -GuestId winNetStandardGuest
  new-harddisk -vm $vm -datastore $datastore2 CapacityKB (8192 * 1KB)

• Best practices installation CARS in two areas of data center?

  Data Center has two distinct areas.
  In each area, we have a storage system and a rac node.
  
  We will install RAC 11 GR 2 ASM.
  
  For data, we want to use diskgroup + DATA, normal redundancy mirrored on two storage systems.
  
  CRS + vote, we want to use diskgroup + CRS, normal redundancy.
  But for diskgroup CRS + vote with normal redundancy, there are 3 LUNS and we have only 2 storage systems.
  In my view, that the third logical unit number is necessary to avoid situations of split brain.
  
  If we put two LUNS to storage lun #1 and the other for storage #2, what will happen when storage faills #1 - it means that two of the three disks for diskgroup + CRS are inaccessible?
  What will happen when all the material in the #1 box fails?
  Is the human intervention: at the time of the failure, which #1 area rises again?
  
  Is there a best practice for configuration 2-zone 2-storage cars?
  
  Joachim

  Hello

  With regard to the vote of the files are concerned, that a node must be able to access more than half of the files with the right to vote at any time (simple majority). In order to be able to tolerate failure of n files in vote, need at least 2n + 1 configured. (n = number of files with voting rights) for the cluster.
  The problem in a stretch cluster configuration, is that most of the facilities use only two storage systems (one on each site), which means that the site that hosts the majority of voting records is a potential single point of failure for the entire cluster. If the storage or the site where the files of n + 1 vote is configured fails, the entire cluster will go down, because Oracle Clusterware will lose the majority of the files.
  To avoid a complete cluster failure, Oracle will support a third vote file on a cheap lowend, standard NFS mounted device somewhere in the network. Oracle recommends the file NFS vote on a dedicated server, which belongs to a production environment.

  The white paper below allows you to accomplish:
  http://www.Oracle.com/technetwork/database/Clusterware/overview/grid-infra-thirdvoteonnfs-131158.PDF

  Also with regard to the configuration of the vote and OCR (11.2), when you use ASM. How they should be stored?
  I recommend that you read:

• Clone the virtual machine between two ESX 3.5.0 servers (low connection)

  Hi all!

  I have two ESX 3.5.0 servers that are managed by a vCenter servers one have just the connection of 32 KB.

  I need to clone one of my virtual machines from one to the other ESX is W2k8 created with 40 GB HARD drive. I tried to start it clone trough my low connection, but the task is about 86% for 4 days :|

  Is it possible to clone virtualmachine on one of my ESX for its local storage and after that, get it by vCenter for example an external HARD drive and then copy them all to my second ESX? How to run copied virtual machine on my second ESX? Maybe I can do it with another way - ideas?

  Two ESX are the same versions and machines, only the names and the ip addresses are different.

  Thanks for the tips

  Kris

  I don't think it is possible since the virtual disk will be 40 GB in size - I was suggesting using a laptop as a server NFS ESX sees and access the virtual machine for this storage clone - it take the first vessel of ESX host it to secondary site attach NFS datastore on the second ESX Server and using the browser of data store you navigate to the cloned VMX of VM file and to him the second ESX host - you can cold migrate leaving the second host and then move the cursor above for the storage you want.
