• Migrate virtual machines Citrix Xen Server for VMWare ESX 3.5

  Hi all. I have a requirement to retire a Xen server and migrate all the reviews virtual machines running on it on a newly developed VMWare infrastructure (wooo hooo).

  Only problem, it's actually have to migrate these servers because their construction is relatively complex - so my question is:

  Is it easy / what is the best method to convert our Xen Server VM (all Windows Server 2003) in some form of transferable file and import into the new VMWare infrastructure?

  Thoughts, ideas and experiences welcomed!

• Update license key OEM for vmware fusion

  I'm moving from a windows7 (64-bit Home Premium) to a Mac Book. I want to import my old PC as a virtual machine using VMware fusion.

  I am trying to determine what is necessary from the point of view license.

  The original license is OEM so I think that it may have an update - is just a case of getting a new license key?

  I tried the update by using the update at any time of mechanism, but this no longer works

  How can I get the appropriate license change to allow me to get the installed virtual machine?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Thank you for your reply and sorry for the late reply.

  You can follow the procedure referred to in article of VMware Fusion below to migrate your system of operating existing for Windows 7 to your new MacBook.

  After that, get Windows 7 successfully migrated you will need to purchase a new license Windows 7 key (rightly underlined André Da Costa, OEM licenses are linked to all first computer, you install and activate Windows on).

  You need to activate your migration to Windows 7 operating system with the new license key.

  You don't need to reinstall Windows 7 when you migrate your operating system on a new computer through VMware.

  Warning: using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

• Yellow! for VMware network driver after upgrade to server 2003

  We have an older Windows Server 2000 guest who was P2V sometime.  It is one of our domain controllers.   In the process of migrating our AD domain until 2008, I have tried to upgrade this server to 2003 our ad can be in 2003 as part of the move towards 2008.   Long story short, in order to upgrade to 2003 server, I had to remove the old Compaq Network Managment of the machine software.  This software was not in Add/Remove Programs, then I went to the manual way to remove hidden drivers, when still it did not work, I have deleted all entries in registry SEO Compaq network management.  I proceeded with the upgrade, but when the system has finished, the LAN connection is missing, and Device Manager has a yellow explanation point to the NIC for VMware Acceleraged AMD PCInet adapter.

  I recloné and resume the upgrade with only remove entries from registry for Compaq Network MGT.  Yet once, after an upgrade, the same problem appeared with the network card.

  I don't know how to successfully remove the Ghost for the Compaq when the software seems to not exist on the computer.  (nothing in Add/Remove Programs, nothing in C:\program files, start anything in the 'Programs' from the menu list.

  Once I get the error on the NIC card I can't fix.  I tried to reinstall the VMWare driver from the VMTools directory, but that still does not work.

  Not sure about Windows 2000, but IIRC the HP drivers can be removed trough the network card properties!

  Be sure to reconfigure the guest operating system to Windows Server 2003 in the properties of the virtual machine after the upgrade. I had probably also remove the NIC and add an E1000 NIC, which is the default value for Windows 2003 VMs.

• Update 3 for vmware Infrastructure 3 is a comprehensive update?

  Is update 3 for vmware Infrastructure 3, a comprehensive update or should I install the update 1 and day 2 first?

  I believe that if you apply the update 3 with the Update Manager and then rescan with your baseline, you will see fewer missing updates.  It should take care of all update 1 and day 2 patches.  If you want to apply update 3 make sure to run all of the patches that have been released since then as well, there are a few recent bugfixes of update 3.

  If all goes well with this number of hosts you can eliminate the time instead of reduce, if you have the DRS in fully automatic mode when you use the Manager to update to migrate the guests off the coast to other hosts for you while patch.

• Host for vmware integration tools

  where can I download the host for Vmware integration tools?

  the support site are not providing the relevant download

  https://eqlsupport.Dell.com/support/download.aspx?ID=3199

  Klick on VMware integration or eqlsupport.dell.com/.../download.aspx

  Its a set of programs. Most likely, you are looking for the MEM (Module of Extension Multipath) and VSM (Virtual Storage Manager), formerly known as the ASM/VE. The last is the "plugin" for the connection between your group EQL and vSphere vCenter. His only usable in the 'new' WebClient vSphere and not for the old c# one.

• x 4012 MTU for VMware NSX

  Hello

  I am looking for two 10 GB switches to low price without perfomance high-end to create an environment of demonstration NSX. VMware NSX has only one requirement difficult and an option for the integration complete.

  A 10 GB of Dell switch x 4012 would comply with the following requirements:

  • MTU > = 1600 (for the encapsulation of packages)
  • Support IGMP (HA hybrid mode but optional in our test configuration)

  I'm not able to find a reference in the documentation of these two characteristics.

  Thanks in advance for the help!

  If you have another idea or suggestion, feel free to contact me.

  Hello

  It does not meet the requirements for Vmware NSX.

• OpenManage for VMWare ESXi has no possibility of tasks of virtual disk

  OMSA v 7.1 and 7.2 for Windows (and earlier versions) allow the user to perform many tasks on virtual disks, including reconfiguring - expand a RAID array with a new drive.

  This is not true for managing open for VMWare ESXi - although you can monitor the status of the RAID and disks with the browser of the OMSA interface type, you cannot perform tasks - can not even make a high beam Flash.

  It is a huge problem, because the PERC controllers (H700 and H800, for example) don't allow you to develop virtual using hard drives not Dell disks when you try this during startup in the bios.  (These controllers only allows you to create new virtual disks using drives not Dell).

  This test was conducted using the latest firmware (12.10.4 - 0001 A10) and drivers for the H700 and H800 and multi-server r610 ESXi 5.1.

  Other people with VMWare have been affected by the present?  The only solution is to have two player networks connected to the computer, and create a simple Windows with OMSA, boot in Windows Server to expand the table using OMSA for Windows.

  I would be interested in the comments of others, including those of Dell.  We spent hours on the phone with Dell; This seems to be the only solution.  (Yes, Dell released a firmware version last year that has ceased blocking non Dell readers, but it only works for the creation of a new virtual disk, do not expanding one existing).

  Yes.  It came through a discussion in the Dell | Servers | Discussion of the RAID community.

  en.Community.Dell.com/.../20263442.aspx

  There is a CD bootable linux called OMSA Live that you download from PowerEdge (linux OS) systems management.

  This OMSA PERC H700 and H800 control and allows you to do everything.  When you reconfigure the RAID and the PERC card starts the reconstruction, although it seems risky, you can restart under VMware and the reconstruction of the RAID continues on.  And you can analyze with OMSA for VMware.

• Free BSD for VMWare Virutal Machine image

  Hello everyone

  This is my first post in any VMWare community forum and I would advice to take advantage of ready-made virtual machines available on the FreeBSD site:

  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/VM-IMAGES/10.2-RELEASE/amd64/Latest/

  This page from the same site indicates the hard image for VMWare, but my last copy of VMWare Workstation 12 player accept files .vmx or .vmc - not hard:

  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/VM-IMAGES/README.txt

  Is this mean that hard images can be loaded into other paid products VMWare?

  I look forward to receiving tips.

  Thanks in advance

  Ah, you use the drive, I just read the part of the workstation

  OK, so, here we have to work around the problem. Create a virtual machine, the select part to store the disk in a single file and not split disc.

  When you create, delete the newly created hard.

  Copy the VMDK you downloaded from the website of bsd in the VM folder and rename the hard on behalf of the deleted vmdk.

• Problem with the video for "VMware vSphere Hypervisor - install and configure.

  Hello

  In this page: https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/evalcenter?lp=default & p = free-esxi5

  When you click on the "Installation and configuration" tab, we have access to videos for vSphere Hypervisor.

  But at the moment, none of the video can be shown.  I tried this in my computer at home as well as my company computer and none works.

  Someone who works for VMware please check this problem.

  Thank you

  OK, I just found what was "wrong".  These videos are "optimized" for Internet Explorer!   Yes, I tried on Firefox and Chrome on XP Pro and Win7, nothing worked.  Then after reading your message, I thought ' what happens if I try that? "  ... and indeed, the videos are displayed inside, I.e. I got suddenly a bad feeling, like I was back at the beginning of the 21st century!

  Come on!  Who would still do 'optimized' only website to know today?   I'm sure they will not be displayed on my Tablet either.

  I found these videos on YouTube:

  http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=_MofPJsG9gQ

  I think they are the same videos (but the quality is really bad... 360 p.: geez!).  Could someone confirm that they are indeed the same as those in vmware.com?  THX

  PS: Oh, on the section "Help", I found it at help | United States but I've seen no paragraph telling me how to report a problem on the website.

  There are a number of other prerequisites to be able to make that kind of call.

• LSI Megaraid SAS 9271-4i for vmware vsa

  Hello world

  I have a hardware vendor build 3 5.1 production esxi hosts based on Asus RS700-E7 with 32 GB of ram each.

  They will support up to 24 vm in an environment of low IOPS / s.

  They will run the VSA for vmware appliance in raid 10 on the sata drives.

  The seller offers the LSI 9260-4i Megarid. I'm not sure.

  What LSI Megaraid controller recommended by those who have used them in the past for vmware VSA?

  I am also looking at the LSI Megaraid SAS 9271-4i. Whichever is faster on vsa for vmware using WD drives and raid 10.

  I use 4 drives per host, so I'm also cureous why some people use 8i controllers.

  Thanks in advance.

  I actually went with SAS 15 k drives in raid 5. I already answered my own question on the raid controller, so I'll mark this as answered. Thank you.
