• How to move a virtual machine to a different data store, preserving its ID

  I would like to move a virtual machine to a different data store.

  Because I use 3rd party software that identifies a virtual machine by its ID of VirtualCenter, I'd like to preserve the ID, and I also want to preserve the name of the virtual computer.

  If I clone the virtual machine, I lose the ID and name.

  I can clone a second time to restore the name, but the ID is always false.

  I know that I can use vmkfstools-i to copy the entire disk.

  Is it possible to copy the entire VM?

  I am currently on ESX 3.0.2/VC 2.0.2

  The operation that I describe is available in 3.5.x/VC ESX 2.5.x

  TIA,

  -Magister

  Don't use EVER of CP to copy a VM, VMDK move/copy should be used in conjunction with vmkfstools as best practice.

  OP,

  You can manually make a copy using the CLI interface or use the VI Client and browse the data store and to copy and paste in the appropriate data and as suggested Andre store, when you switch on for the first time, you should say 'keep' when asked if you want to update the virtual machine UUID.

  Another thing, you could do, is if you've enabled for vMotion, you can actually use Storage vMotion which will migrate directly from your virtual machine to a different data store, it's less effort on your side and you can count on Andrew Kutz sVMotion plugin: http://sourceforge.net/projects/vip-svmotion/

• Move a virtual machine to a different data store

  I want to take data offline store.  I moved all devices that use my virtual machines which are on, but I don't see a way to configure the location of the .vmx file.  Y at - it a simple way to move it, or: where is the list of the .vmx that are associated with a host files?

  You shouldn't really do that.  But I guess you know that now.

  Simplest solution would be to right click on the vm and collect inventory, then with all the files in the right directory, open the browser of data store, do a right-click on the file vmx and go "add to the inventory.

  If meet you some strange reason questions you can re-create the VM with no disc and just add the old virtual machine disks.  Then do a sVmotion to make things cleaner.

• Command to move a virtual machine on a different data store

  Hello

  Y at - it a command to shut down a virtual machine, it has moved to another data store and then restarted on the new store data (or 2 orders).

  You can download PowerCLI at http://www.vmware.com/go/powercli. There you can also find the documentation. PowerCLI is a snap-in for Microsoft Windows PowerShell that you can download at http://blogs.msdn.com/powershell/pages/download-windows-powershell.aspx if you have not already. PowerShell is a scripting language and a shell like the window BACK. A very good book on PowerCLI is Hal Rottenberg Management of VMware Infrastructure with Windows PowerShell TFM. And if you have any questions about PowerCLI, you can ask them at the Community's VMware PowerCLI.

• Move the virtual machine from one host to another with shared storage

  Hello

  I have a question on how to move a virtual machine from one ESX 4 host to a host ESXi 5.  These hosts have access to the same shared storage but the ESX 4 host is outside the network and host ESXi 5 is inside the network so vMotion is not an option.  They are in different groups.  I know that there must be an easy way to move this virtual machine, but for the life of me, I can't find it.  I guess I have remove the virtual machine from the external cluster but how to make the virtual machine in the internal cluster?

  Thanks in advance...

  If both host access to the data store even where VM's store, just stop the virtual machine, remove inventory on ESXi 4, go to ESXi 5 vSphere vSphere, browse the data store where the VM is stored, do a right-click on the .vmx file and add to the inventory.

• Move a virtual machine in another data store

  Hello

  On our ESX 4, we have created pools of resources and multiple data on SAN warehouses.

  To move that a VM resource with Betclic is very easy, but howto move a virtual machine from a to another data store?

  If I understand your question you should migrate your VM to the different data store.

  Right-click on a virtual machine, select migrate..., select Change location of data, select the desired data store, select virtual disk format (end/thick)...

• Movement of virtual machines between vSwitches

  I created 2 virtual switches and I want to move the virtual machines I created earlier about these switches. For now, these virtual machines are attached to the deafult vSwitch and I need to move them to other switches.

  Thank you.

  Hello.

  Go to the virtual machine and choose change settings.  Select the NIC and then on the lower right side, change the network connection to the desired network label which corresponds to one of the new vSwitches you created.

  Good luck!

• Cannot move the virtual computer to a different location to store data/all

  Hello

  I'm physical conversion into virtual machine using the VM converter. When I try this it I get the message error "the file is too big" or something similar. I did some research and realize that my block on the data store size is not large enough. Fine. I know how to format the data store so that it uses a larger block size. However, I need to pass the current VM to another location. I downloaded some of the smallest virtual machine on a local computer, but for most virtual machine I want to plug a USB hard drive in the server VM to move large virtual machine. How can I do this? Is there another way I can move the virtual machine to another location without hassle? I thought to plug a USB hard drive on my local machine and upload it.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you.

  I also encountered this problem, and I solved a couple of different ways.

  1. If you have a UNIX server that is running NFS, you can configure a "dropbox" with 777 rights.  Then create a datastore NFS pointing to it, and then use the clone or clone for model option to copy in the NFS data store.

  2. use the product only settlement converter and convert them in one place.  Wipe the data store, reformat with the largest block size and then convert them back.

  Both works perfectly.

• Expand or move the virtual machine to another partition / hard disk

  I tried to expand my 90 GB disk but nothing changes, i.e. the virtual machine is still to 60 GB. I have VMware Fusion 6 (Mac/Windows 10) and my VM is monolithic mode. In this true HD, I even 50 GB free and I can't increase the amount again in an attempt to rectify this problem and I can not to decrease either. I thought to change the location of the virtual machine to another partition/hd with more space, but I don't know how. So I need little help to choose and implements one of the solutions below:

  - or regularise space for the new amount

  - or move the virtual machine (vmdk) to an another partition/HD

  - or to convert monolithic mode to 2 GB split

  What is the best solution?

  Thanks in advance

  It's help me;

  Resize a Windows Partition with disk management tool

  When you maximize your virtual hard disk, you must also expand partition of your guest operating system to take advantage of the extra space.

  Fusion resizes the partition of the guest operating system when you resize the virtual hard disk. If you hold the Option key when you click apply to resize the drive, you can manually resize the Windows partition. For Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista you can use the operating system's disk management tool to resize a partition.

  Prerequisites

  Check that your virtual hard disk is large enough to accept the increase in the size of the partition. See resize a hard disk.

  Procedure

  1 right click on computer and select Manage.

  2. double-click on storage.

  3 double-click disk management.

  4 in the list, right click on the partition to expand and select Extend the Volume.

  5 follow the prompts to resize the partition and click complete and the question of the partition in the disk management pane displays its new size.

  6. close the computer management window

• I'm looking for a Script that can list all virtual machines with type of NIC E1000 via the output of the CSV file.

  Hi gurrus and LucD

  I'm looking for a Script that can list all virtual machines with type of NIC E1000 via the output of the CSV file.

  The script should search for information in a multiple Vcenter servers and multiple clusters and list all the VMs name, status (two powers on or off) with type card NETWORK Type E1000 only no other.

  Concerning

  Nauman

  Try like this

  $report = @)

  {foreach ($cluster Get-cluster)

  foreach ($rp in Get-ResourcePool-location $cluster) {}

  foreach ($vm in (Get-VM-location the $rp |)) Where {Get-NetworkAdapter - VM $_______ | where {$_.}} Type - eq "e1000"}})) {}

  $report += $vm. Select @{N = "VM"; E={$_. Name}},

  @{N = 'vCenter'; E={$_. Uid.Split('@') [1]. "Split(':') [0]}},"

  @{N = "Cluster"; E = {$cluster. Name}},

  @{N = "ResourcePool"; E = {$rp. Name}}

• How to copy or move a virtual machine to one vCenter to another?

  In the near future, we will have a HA cluster in a foreign vCenter, connected to a dedicated line. As far as I know, we are able to integrate the HA cluster in our vCenter, but are not able to copy or move a VM in our vCenter to another because there is no direct connection between the storage.

  What will be the simplest possibility to copy or move a virtual machine to the other vCenter?

  Thanks in advance!

• How to move the virtual machine from one cluster to another cluster

  How to move the virtual machine from one cluster to another cluster

  If two Clusters are in the same data center, you could do a 'live' migration or vMotion, if that's the case.   If the virtual machine is turned off, it may be migrated regardless of the data center.

• Storage DRS, move a virtual machine that is in the data store is not a member of DTS

  Dear all,

  If I've set up storage DRS that contains, for example, DS1 and DS2. I have another virtual machine that resides on DS that is not part of the cluster of DTS. Can I move this virtual machine to one of the (DS1, DS2) data store? OR will some disruptions?

  Thank you

  Jocelyn,

  Which is correct in both cases. You can leave DTS place it for you (which is my suggestion), but I thought you wanted it to go to a specific data store.  That being said you can reactivate the DTS for a virtual machine under the SDR change settings if you do not ever clear for a virtual machine

• Move a virtual machine that has a raw lun mapped to SAN

  Dear all,

  I need expert advice for this case. I have a virtual machine on a host with esxi 4.0, but due to many machines same virtual host we are experiencing memory problems and have decided to move this virtual machine to another host with less VM and less use of resources.

  I plan 1 HR time to perform this task, this virtual machine have two drives one windows partition and the second 20 GB as mapped lun on SAN. So when you move it to another host, what I'll do is tap to stop the virtual machine, go to another host and storage switch to VM folder and add the VM.vmx file to add it to the inventory of the new host. What about the case of raw LUN mapped, how to take care of it.

  Please advise, it is little urgent.

  Thank you

  I guess there is no vCenter at stake here and you have no option for vMotion? The RDM, I would like to stop the virtual machine, detach the RDM LUN, migrating the virtual machine and re - attach the RDM.  As long as the two hosts can see SAN/RDM, you should be good with that.

• movement of virtual machines on new server

  I'm fairly new to vmware and operate a very limited plant, but would like assistance.  I have the Essentials package and ESX 4.0 is running on a single server with the virtual machines stored on local hard disks.  I installed a new server ESXi 5.1 and local storage, and I need to move the virtual machines from the old server to the new server.  If it's important, the guest virtual machine operating system are a mixture of linux and windows.  What is the best method to move those VMs?

  Hello

  If you have the two host added to vCenter, you can turn off VMs and migrate virtual machines to another host and data store.

  Since you do not have a shared storage, you must turn off VM to change host and the data store.

  It doesn't matter what OS you are running on a virtual machine.

  Thank you
