Migration of VMS of vsphere 5.0 and 5.5. The virtual computer hardware should be upgraded?

We have a few virtual machines to a roommate with a newer version of vsphere. Are there benefits to upgrading in addition what is listed in the link below? We have really no need for the maximum ram or cpu upgrades. I thought that now version 8 virtual machines should be fine, unless there is a major performance improvement or other reason to upgrade to 10.

Hardware features available with the Virtual Machine compatibility settings

You are on point with your comments. There is no need to upgrade to version 10, you if you don't need. This is why VMware is now calling VM Compatibility virtual rather than physical level. This is to remove the pressure of always trying to follow with the virtual hardware.

By experience, I find the upgrade virtual hardware, one of the scariest parts of any upgrade project. Ive met a lot question after her that is why it is always recommended to create a snapshot prior to an update of the virtual hardware. Its the only way to restore.

  • Oracle UCM CIS - user authentication and connection to the virtual computer

    Hello

    I have a few questions. I'm trying to integrate the University Complutense of MADRID with my custom web application.

    (1) is it possible to authenticate users (password validation) if we use CIS to integrate. If this isn't the case, then if the server of the University Complutense of MADRID uses its own database backend and not no matter what LDAP for user management, must make us a call to the database table directly? Any idea on the table?

    (2) if I am trying to connect to a server of the University Complutense of MADRID that runs on a virtual machine, but in the local network, I always get an error like this.
    Failed to retrieve the configuration information for the content Terminal item. Permission denied. Address < < ip address > > ' is not an authorized remote socket address.
    However, if I connect to an instance of the AAU runs on a server instance, the same code is running.
    The server within the virtual machine console is accessible from my m/c through browser. So should I give access to this port to the socket connection 4444. Couldn't find anything on it. Any help will be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi deep,

    You can restrict access to the content server port 4444 using a filer of ip address in the /config/config.cfg file of

  • Move-vm can migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster?

    When I try to move-vm has propelled off VM to a destination of DRS cluster, he says that he cannot migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster.   I can explicitly name the destination of the host and it works, but that defeats the purpose of using the DRS and forces me to script on the destination hosts.

    I do something wrong or I would be able to migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster?

    Thank you

    -MattG

    Hello, MattG-

    I get the same behavior as you when you try to move a VM PoweredOff to a DRS cluster, specifying the cluster as the value for the parameter - Destination to Move-VM (using PowerCLI v5.1 Rel 2 v5.5 Rel 1).  Not quite what I expected.

    To work around the problem, and without having to appoint a particular host as destination, you could use some Get-Random, do something like:

    Move-VM myVM0 -Destination (Get-Cluster myDestDRSCluster | Get-VMHost | ?{$_.State -eq "Connected"} | Get-Random) -RunAsync
    

    Who should receive the machine said cluster and on a host that is in the connected state.  A subsequent operation to the market (whenever do you eventually) should then see DRS power on the virtual machine on a suitable host in the cluster.

    Maybe the dev team can comment if this behavior is the expected or desired.

    Anyway, how does do for you?

  • After the Virtual Machine is hot migrated lose the reference to the virtual computer object (VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine)

    Hello

    In my VB.Net application, I retrieve the virtual computer object (VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine) through scripting Powershell VI.

    If the Virtual Machine is migrated to another host (hotmigrate) I receive an event (VMware.Vim.VmMigratedEvent), which also holds the moref of the Virtual Machine. I tried to use the updateview method to refresh the virtual computer object but failed with an error message stating that the object could not be found, or never existed.

    I also tried to recover the virtual computer object again, throug the method Client.GetView and the moref returned by the event, but the same error message.

    How can I get my hands on the virtual computer object or update after migration to another host takes place. I have to get it back again? It would be great if I could do it somhow with information from moref I hold the event!

    Any help is appreciated!

    Concerning

    Manfred

    Sorry, but I can only show you how to do this in PowerShell.

    I use the purpose of the task to get to the prompt MoRef.

    Here's how:

    $vmName = 
    $tgtHost = 
    $tgtPool = 
    
    $vm = Get-VM $vmName | Get-View
    $poolMoRef = (Get-ResourcePool $tgtPool | Get-View).MoRef
    $esxMoRef = (Get-VMHost $tgtHost | Get-View).MoRef
    
    $task= Get-View ($vm.MigrateVM_Task($poolMoRef, $esxMoRef, "lowPriority", "poweredOn"))
    
    while($task.Info.State -eq "running" -or $task.Info.State -eq "queuing"){
      $task.UpdateViewData()
    }
    
    $vmImpl = Get-VIObjectByVIView -MORef $task.Info.Entity
    

    I don't know how you get at the VmMigratedEvent event, but the MoRef in there is pointing to the correct prompt.

    In the following script, I extracted all the events related to the task of vMigrate immediately after the vMigrate task finished

    function Print-VmName{
         param($event)
    
         $MoRef = New-Object VMware.Vim.ManagedObjectReference
         $MoRef.Type = $event.vm.vm.type
         $MoRef.Value = $event.vm.vm.Value
         $vm = Get-View $MoRef
         Write-Host $vm.Name
    }
    
    $events = Get-VIEvent -Start (Get-Date).addminutes(-15)
    $events | % {
         $event = $_
         $eventType = $_.GetType().Name
         switch ($eventType){
              "VmMigratedEvent" {
                   $eventType
                   Print-VmName $event
              }
              "VmEmigratingEvent"{
                   $eventType
                   Print-VmName $event
              }
              "VmBeingHotMigratedEvent" {
                   $eventType
                   Print-VmName $event
              }
              "TaskEvent" {
                   $eventType
                   Print-VmName $event
              }
         }

    When is the key being denied? -Keep in mind that there are "excluded" characters (for example, 0 and I etc.) and those that are very easily confused (8/B, 2/Z, etc.) and, if the answer is in the system rather than by the activation servers, it is likely that this is the problem.

    I can only suggest that you keep plugging away with the product key update tool until you find the right key.

  • FSX and FSX acceleration not will not activate after the uninstallation and reinstallation of the following problems with Windows 7 upgrade

    After the upgrade to Windows Vista Ultimate SP2 Windows 7, I couldn't FSX to load.  It would hang at the splash screen.  This has since been resolved and may have been a conflict between my card graphic and sound card and maybe even my webcam.  I then tried to reinstall FSX.  However, I decided to load up the Accerleration as before, but when I entered the activation code it says after trying that he could not get an answer to the server and to verify that I had an internet session active.  I did, but he always refused to activate.  So I uninstalled FSX acceleration and ran repair on FSX.  But now, he wants the activation code for FSX and when I write this so I always get the message that it cannot get a response from the server, please try again later or check that your internet connection is active.  I have the full internet connection, but doesn't understand why it won't save my activation codes.  I am limited to 30 minutes and cannot be installed acceleration as it wants the code for FSX.  I read on the forum that you can uninstall and reinstall on the same computer as many times you like then why used enable it?  It seems that he doesn't like my internet connection even though I am on the internet.  Anyone has any ideas. My pc is a Dell Inspiron 530 s with Nvidia 9400Gt card and card Soundblaster with 160 gb 1.66 ghz, 4gig ram and router Netgear WGR614 cable wireless

    Hi steve, I managed to install in the end.  I upgraded to a hard drive more that I wanted more space and copied the image to the new drive.  FSX is not yet accept the keys during the installation.  I ran the above utilities (see blog Amritas) to clear the license keys, empty temporary folders and change the registry entry by using 'regedit' on the command line, but still his wouldn't.  In the end, I installed and uninstalled three times until I finally installed it on a partition on the drive and he finally accepted the license keys.  This was done on the original admin user account that I had problems with from the start.  I have now it works.  The utility I used was KB928080 Microsoft.   I can only suggest you keep trying or partition of your hard drive and try and install on the new partition after erasing the license keys and temp folders (see above Amrita).  I can't guarantee that it works well.  To me it's a question of licenses i.e. acceleration has been uninstalled and reinstalled many times so it will no longer accept the license keys.  Happy installing! I don't know how is it frustrating.

  • Steps to upgrade to 4 Fusion and moving to the new computer

    Hey there. I could use some help with few steps so that I have if sure and get everything set up on my new computer, because I get conflicting information from friends of Apple.

    Currently I am running Fusion 3.1.1 on a late 2009 MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. I have a virtual machine running a single stand-alone version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and a bunch of programs installed in Windows. I installed Fusion and Windows at the same time of the disks.

    I now move to a brand new MacBook Pro with Lion already installed. And I bought 4 Fusion on disk.

    My question is, which perform the steps I should follow to get Fusion 4/Windows 7 on my new MacBook Pro? I have to reinstall Windows on the new machine? Or can I somehow copied it to the Virtual Machine and have all come up with it?

    I'm a bit technical, but the new to all this stuff with.

    What I have read, I understand that I have to install Fusion and then copy the virtual machine over the old computer. Is this copy the complete Windows installation without that there is a problem with the registration number?

    Any help I can get will be more appreciated.

    Thank you! Linda

    From what I've read, I understand that I need to install Fusion and then copy the virtual machine over from the old computer. Does this copy the full Windows install without there being a problem with the registration number?
    

    Yes, it's exactly what you need to do. The exception is if you had installed Windows on a Boot Camp partition, you will not be able to copy on the virtual machine (since the data are on a separate partition and not in an easily copied file). For more security, keep your old configuration until you're sure the new works.

    Windows can decide whether he wants to reactivate, according to many variables that he considers. It is impossible to say whether it will be or not until you try. However, even if it does, it should be unique and should not be too much of a hassle.

    A lot of times depends on what operating system you are using (Windows, OSX etc.) and if you want to keep all your data from your old computer or only parts of adobe.

    The perfect way to do it would be to do what we called a metal backup naked using software such as shadow protect and then install the image it creates on your new system. With this method you keep everything and just change material making sure all your settings are always the same and be able to continue as if you had not changed the whole computer. The only difference you'd see is a strong increase in speed.
