Move the virtual machine Linux from AMD to Intel

Hi, I'm running several CentOS 5.4 and 5.5 virtual machines on an AMD64 based host ESXi 4. I need to replace the AMD ESXi 5 host and move the VM to host Intel based host with an Intel-based.

I did it with a VM test (cold migration), and it seems boot, but I read that I might need to change the kernel for Intel.  Is this necessary?  If so, can someone point me in the right direction on how to do it?  Thank you!

If the test computer worked then no there is no need to replace the core.

    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.

  • 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

    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

  • What is the interval of time between the virtual machine Linux and ESXi host synchronization?

    I have ESX5.0 with a centos6 installed on this linux virtual machine.

    After the installation of vmware for Linux virtual machine tools, I activated the time synchronization between the virtual machine linux and ESXi host through vmware-toolbox-cmd.

    I wonder what is the interval of time between the virtual machine linux and ESXi host synchronization? If I quickly time OS system, when the OS system time will sync back to the ESXi host?

    According to http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/Timekeeping-In-VirtualMachines.pdf:

    By default, the demon checks the guest only once per minute operating system clock.

    However, depending on whether the guest is behind or in front of the result is different. So, please read the section "periodic synchronization" (at least) in the document mentioned above.

  • 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 the virtual machine to the workstation from 9 to 7 Workstation

    I have created a virtual machine (PBX) on VMWare Workstation 9 and I need to move it to Workstation 7.1.  I tried to create an ovf file using ovftool, but I couldn't expand the FVO on the side 7.1.  Is there anything else I can do to move the machine to the course?

    Thanks for your time.

    "You can just copy the file to the virtual machine with all its files, this will keep even the machine virtual UUID and MAC address if you select 'I moved' we ' when you start the virtual machine after you have copied. However, before copy on the virtual machine, make sure that you go to compatibility mode (formerly hardware version) from the 9 VMware Workstation interface.

  • How to move the virtual machine from one host to another?

    The two boxes under ESXi 5.0 (hypervisors freely licensed).

    I have a virtual machine (FreeBSD) that I need to go to another box.

    Network ports are not the same, but I guess that's not a biggie to reconfigure the network cards. Other than that, I have to follow a few best practices/SOPS or copy & paste is everything I need to run perfectly on a different host?

    Thank you very much!

    FastSCP allows you to copy directly between hosts, so it can save a lot of time you copy.  I don't know what you mean by 'manually' copy files.  Do you mean using the vShpere client and download the files to a location then download them to the new host?  Either way works perfectly, but FastSCP you must save a step.

    If you have currently snapshots, you can consolidate first or leave em and just copy them with the rest of the virtual machine. There should be no need to do something with snapshots, if you perform a migration 'offline '.  As long as you take all the files, snapshots will be displayed on the destination host computer when you save the vm on the host.

    I did 'on-line' migration of large virtual machines first to the take a snapshot on the source host, copy basic to the first destination host disks while the virtual machine was still running on the source host.  When I was ready to migrate the CPU processing, I power off the virtual machine, copy the other files (which would include the deltas from disk and whatnot) and turn on the vm on the destination host (which would cause only a few minutes of downtime).  Later, I consolidate records by removing the snapshot on the destination host.  Way to a poor man to do a migration of vm on ESXi free edition with little downtime.

  • How to move the Virtual Machine VMWare Workstation 10 to a completely different computer

    I have a laptop that is going to become my 'old' laptop, I bought and am always set up a new computer.

    I have a VM THAT evolution created on the 'old' portable using VMWare Workstation 10.  I installed the software VMWare Workstation 10 on the new laptop computer and am ready to move to the existing VM development since the old laptop again to continue the development of software on the virtual machine to the new machine.

    I never moved a computer virtual from one computer to another, and I guess that all I have to do is to copy and move the folder and all its content from the old laptop to the new, and then I'll be back in business?

    Just make sure it is this simple before doing so.

    Thanks for any input.

    It's as simple as that. When you start in the new machine, it should ask if you copied or moved. Answer that you moved it will keep the same MAC address and you will not be able to connect the two copies at the same time. You copied it saying assigns a new MAC and they both can connect, but a Windows machine can ask to reactivate. Seems to me he asked also to reactivate when I copied it for an Intel system AMD system, but it was a long time ago

  • Customization of the comments for the virtual machines deployed from model has stopped working

    Hi all

    (Environment: vCenter and ESXi 10 5.1 hosts running Build #3070626)

    We have a model 2012R2 and a file specification of customization that allows us to deploy the VMs 2012R2 server. It worked well for a while. After the Christmas break, it seems more work correctly and we havn't knowingly changed anything to cause this. We have fixed our ESXi hosts Build #3070626 October 6, but have deployed VMs of model since, without problem.

    We have all staged for the VM in advance (IE AD entry of objects and DNS). And then powered the deployed virtual computer, sysprep runs, but does not seem to apply settings in the customization file (IE rename the virtual computer, set the Admin password, join the domain etc.). If feed us the cycle of the VM, sysprep is running again, but even once, does nothing.

    I have attached the contents of my file guestcust.log of a computer deployed virtual (see below), but I do not see the clues about the problem. I thought initially the error on the first line was important, until I've found it is also present on the virtual machines that have been successfully deployed from this template in the past, so it's maybe a Kipper.

    Does anyone have advice for troubleshooting this?

    TIA

  • How can I move the "Virtual Machines" folder to the My Documents folder?

    VMwareFusion is to put the "Virtual Machines" folder in the Documents folder in the home folder (/users/ [username] / Documents), how can I move elsewhere (as/Library/Application Support)? The user Documents folder is not the right place for automated it system files, it is intended for personal documents.


    I am running VMware Fusion on OS X Yosemite (and the virtual machine is Windows 7).

    You can keep your virtual machines anywhere you want. Here are the steps to move:

    1 exit VMware Fusion. You can stop first of all of your running virtual machines.

    2. drag your virtual computers folder or the individual VM "files" where you / them. Filenames usually end in ".vmwarevm". There is no need to call the new folder "Virtual Machines" - you can call it anything you like.

    3. Launch VMware Fusion. If the library of the Virtual Machine window is not open, open it (Windows menu-> Virtual Machine library).

    4. ensure that all of your icons for the virtual machine are light gray and say "file not found".

    5. right click on each virtual machine in turn, and select Remove. When you are done, leave the window of Machine virtual library empty open.

    6. in the Finder, drag the icons of file virtual machine in their new location and drop them in library of virtual machines VMware Fusion window. Drop them one by one in the original order, you got, or rearrange icons later.

    7. run your virtual machines as before.

    When you create new virtual computers, navigate to the desired file before the Save.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: If you your folder of Machines ~/Documents/Virtual excluded from backups Time Machine, don't forget to change the exclusion to the new folder.

    Time Machine backups are not reliable for virtual machines. You must have another strategy. (I shut the virtual machine down, compress the 'file', and then move the compressed file to a folder that is included in the Time Machine backups. This isn't the only strategy, but it works for me.)

  • How to reinstall the OS on a virtual machine in the virtual machine Linux drive?

    Hello

    I have problems reinstall OS in a VM Linux (on the Linux host).  I change the CD/DVD (IDE) to connect to an ISO file, save and then play the virtual machine.  I tired send "Ctrl + Alt + Delete", running after stopping, etc., but it will not re - install the new ISO standard (each time it's booting of the operating system already installed).  How can I force the VM to re - install a new ISO standard?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    You can delay the start of the machine, press ESC at startup and choose to boot from the CD to the virtual machine. You can also change the boot order in the Bios to automatically boot from the CD first.

    Take a look at the following kb for details on how to change the way the virtual machine starts.

  • ESXi 4 - move the virtual machine to different hardware

    Hello everyone, I'm new to VMWare. I was wondering if I say ESXi 4 running on a Dell poweredge 2800 dual processor with 2 VM I could take these virtual machines and move them (the moving process no matter as long as it is possible) a dual processor Dell Poweredge 2950 with different RAID card, RAM, CPU, etc, and ESXi 4 is also installed, etc. it would work?

    Thank you!

    Like you, I'm pretty new to VMWare. That being said, I have 2 servers ESXi right now, and I moved the computer virtual from one to the other without problem. I vSphere Essentials, and it was very easy to ' cold migrate "a virtual machine from one server to the other. The host of the virtual machine (white non-liste) origin is simply a HP dc7900 PC with a quad-core processor and 8 GB of RAM. The new host of the virtual machine is a Dell 2850 (non-whtelisted) with 2 processors duo-core and 8 GB RAM. The virtual machine has been the guest of 32-bit OS (Windows XP), while she had no problem. I can't move my Windows Server 2008 VM for your Dell printer, because it does not support 64-bit for the guest operating system (the processors are not compatible VT).

    The only thing that will happen is that Windows (XP, in this caes) will have to go through the process of Validation WIndows again, because there are some major hardware changes, as seen by the operating system. Not a big deal, just soemthing to consider. I also had to re - check my Adobe products on this virtual computer, as I did not have the unvalidate on the virtual machine before moving on to the virtual machine. Adobe also thought that it was a whole new PC, so I had to call & make them validate the installation manually.

  • Migrate the Virtual Machine Linux to ESXi

    Hi all

    I have VMware Server 1 base on CentOS as operating system with a few VMs, VMS spot on my map of storage with NFS.

    I start converting those VMs with vmware converter 4.0 beta, I convert ESXi virtual machine move to storage even but with iSCSI.

    So far I have only converted machines Windows without problem, now, I try to convert the Linux (ContOS 5),

    After the conversion, I try to turn on the machine, but get a "Kernel Panic"

    Impossible to mount the SYSROOT.

    Please see attach.

    Until I find a solution I return to this virtual machine to the old vmware server 1 and then it works.

    Any idea?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I don't speak of computer virtual SCSI controller, you can get to know that this process.

    (1) select the virtual machine.

    (2) right click go to properties.

    (3) select the Hardware tab, check for SCSI controller entry there you can see if it's the logic Lsi logic or bus controller.

    Once again something that I want to confirm, during the conversion, you had a SCSI disk for this virtual machine.

    Thank you
