I guess the first qualification in your path was the data center.

Need to move virtual machines and power over the other ESXi HA and issues of Configuration of power
Dears
Need to move virtual machines and power on ESXi others using the HA and Power Options
So what are the Options I need activate and deactivate:
Turn on Vsphere HA
Activate the tracking host
Admission control (disabled)
VM Machine Options
VM restart priority (medium)
Response from the host of off the power isolation
VM monitoring (people with disabilities)
Monitoring of (high) sensitivity
Heartbeat of data store (select one of cluster data warehouses taking into account my preferences) of the data store is checked
On each:
Start/stop of the virtual machine is turned off
Please indicate the required Options and on virtual machines, we are not turning on?
Just to be clear, that VMware HA will only restart the VMS if ESXi hosts fails - or surveillance of the VM is turned on which will be monitors VMs will they crash or suspend and restart the virtual machine affected.
and just to be clear, that the response of insulation parameter has nothing to do whther THAT HA will work or not - it does come into play if the ESXi host is isolated of the HA - Cluster
xMotion works only between active ESXi hosts that can communicate with the server vCenter - and if the ESXi host broke down or became isolated and vMotion may not work.
vMotion is automated with DRS that vMotion will a VM who need more resources to an ESXi host with enough reosurces.

How to move a virtual machine in the warehouses of data on ESXi 4.1.0
All,
I need to move a virtual machine from a data store to another on the same host. I have two drive bays where each array disk is its data store on. However, one of them has problems if I want to move two of the virtual machine to a data to another store.
Is it possible through vsphere and if so, how?
My host is a:
Dell PowerEdge 2950
vSphere Client Version 4.1.0
VMware ESXi 4.1.0
Hello
1. turn off the virtual machine to be moved
2. right click on the virtual machine, and then select Remove in the inventory (the fleeting VM on the data store)
3. browse the data store, in the left pane, right-click on the folder of the virtual machine and select move to...
4 browse the new data store, open the VM folder
5. save the .vmx file
6. start the virtual machine in the new location and make sure that it works.

Our current data store is a mounting NFS on Nexenta (zfs), which has a pool, I need to rebuild (migration of raidz2 to mirror striped for performance). Initially, I was relying on the judgment of all virtual machines, create a new pool, copy (cp - r) of the Nexenta console all virtual machines to the new pool, recreating the pool mirror and then copy (cp - r) all the data back.
I have seen several virtual machines are not fragmented. However in some of my pre-test when I copy a virtual machine between the basins of the Nexenta console it appears (from the data store Explorer) to initially create the vmdk provisioned and then once completed it copy looks too thin.
on this topic and seems like the simplest method would be to use the feature to "Migrate" so that theI hope that I can simply copy the Nexenta console, using the option "Migrate" in vCenter on each of my 40 MV looks like it would be * quite * tedious compared to the simple issuance of an order of 'cp - r' and leave all the copies of VMs (1.5 to) during the night and then adding them to each host.
Does anyone have experience with this? Or maybe a way to generate scripts easily (?) the option "migrate" in vCenter?
Thank you all!
You can select multiple VMs in vCenter regularly using CTRL + click or shift + click and both migrate them as long as they have the same storage destination. You can also schedule it as a task. Add manually each computer virtual back in hand is not less painful than migrating individually, anyway.

I have 4 servers more alumni who have ESXi 4.0 installed on them with the free license to test. All virtual machines are installed on the local hard disks. My company has decided to turn this test environment into a production environment before you have the right hardware. I now have my production environment with servers connected to a SAN and Enterprise license. They run ESXi 4.1. What is the best way to move my virtual machines of the old test environment to the new?
Welcoem to the Forums - I watch FastSCP and copy the directories holding virtual machines to the new environment and then add the virtual machine to inventory.

As I set up my computer with Windows 7 Professional and XP virtual machine, I could see all the readers, W7 and the virtual machine on the same screen. I can't do now for some reason any. All I can understand what is is past is that I got a page long list of automatic updates of W7 and some XP updates and as far as I know, the current page of readers has disappeared since then. I need this feature if I can transfer files between W7 and XP because some of my programs are in one program of windows. I have nothing special when I installed XP to achieve this functionality, so I really don't understand what it controls. How can I get that back?
I have solved my problem by trying everything that moves. Here are my steps:
-Open Virtual PC and minimize it
-In the Windows 7 machine, click Start click all programs
-Select Windows Virtual PC
-Select Windows Virtual PC (in the drop-down list)
-When the window opens, right-click on Windows XP Mode
-Select share >
-Select the homegroup (read/write)-Minimized open Virtual PC
-Select my computer
Windows 7 disks will be under otherI hope this works for you also. As I said, it worked like this until I had a huge list of automatic updates of Windows 7 and XP more some updates. Apparently, one of them cut something.

Put a host in maintenance - it will automatically move virtual machines?
Dear all,
We have a cluster with 4 guests and we would now like to upgrade each 5.50 to 6.0 ESXi ESXi host. I understand that we need to put the host in maintenance mode. He will automatically move virtual machines to other hosts? I read DRS is necessary. I see that our guests are permitted for Vmotion and HA. We have standard Vsphere license.
This means in our case, I would need to move manually first of all VMs before the host can go into maintenance mode? In the case where the Vsphere will make work, the virtual machines automatically distributing to 3 other hosts according to the resources available?
Thank you
Edy
This means in our case, I would need to move manually first of all VMs before the host can go into maintenance mode?
Yes, since the Standard edition doesn't include DRS, you must manually move virtual machines to other hosts.
In the case where the Vsphere will make work, the virtual machines automatically distributing to 3 other hosts according to the resources available?
Yes, this would be the case with the DRS in place.

virus and malware protection of VMWare virtual machines at the hypervisor level
Hello
are there other than Trend Micro deep Security products that can protect virtual machines from the host at the hypervisor level?
Any experience with deep security?

Best way to move virtual machines between two clusters: HP and UCS
Hello
We move the virtual machines in the cluster UCSChassis: 6 guests ESXi in a Cluster of HPChassis.
I wonder how do it with minimum downtime.
Thanks for your help,
If you have shared storage - expose the storahe where virtual machines are stored to both sets of guests - and the hosts are ocmpatible you can vmotion - or at least - to stop the mover VM's from the environment of the UCS and add it to the HP environment.
If you can't share the storage you - you can use VMwate Standalone converter and V2V the VMs-

Size of Virtual Machine in the Finder is Double the size of virtual machine in Fusion
I run a virtual disk of Windows 7 Home Premium to professional Fusion 5.0.2; the host operating system is 10.8.2. The sparse disk size is set to 40 GB. After the Windows defragmentation and cleanup of the virtual machine, Fusion 5 General preferences pane indicates the total size of the VM as 33.2 GB. I have not instant. The problem is that the size of the virtual machine, as shown in the Finder is 70,56 GB. My offsite backup drive is full and I'm trying to reduce the size of the backup set. How can I reduce the size of the virtual machine, as shown in the Finder to match the size of the virtual machine as shown in the merger? Thank you.
According to the files in the folder and the newspapers, it seems that there is a problem with the (assumingly in October 2011) virtual machine and the virtual machine was back on the basic disk, making useless existing snapshot!
What you can do - make sure that you have a full backup - is to properly close the virtual machine, and then move all files from snapshots (files hard with 00000 x in their file name) to another folder and power on the virtual machine again. If this works as expected you can delete obsolete files.

How to move virtual machines from one host to another without full VI and vMotion?
Hello
could you help me with a question?
I have two installed hosts with ESXi 3.5 U5, which are connected to the shared iSCSI (Openfiler) - VMs storage are installed on the storage disk. My requirement is to have a cheap solution of DR - in case of failure of a host, I need to move and start VM on the host of work. How to achieve without going through VMware Infrastructure 3.5 and vMotion?
I found this article:
http://www.virtualizetips.com/2010/04/how-to-move-a-VM-without-vCenter-or-storage-VMotion/
but RCLI needs Infrastructure of VMware ESXi does not have default CLI So, how to move VMs between hosts (of course I mean "cold" move) without byuing any additonal VMware SW? It is generally possible in my situation?
Thank you.

If the virtual machines are running in shared storage (two guests see the same storage iSCSI or NFS) then it's simple. If a host goes down, then look for the data store on the ESXi host work. Navigate through folders for each virtual machine, right-click on the VMX file and add to the inventory. You will then be able to turn on the virtual machine.
To move a virtual machine from one host to another, as long as both hosts had the same processors, you can pause the VM on the single host, browse and add the virtual machine to the inventory on the second break host and the United Nations.
If the virtual machines are on local storage, but the two hosts are connected to the same shared storage, clone virtual machines on a daily basis from local storage to shared storage. Use something like ghettoVCB http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8760 make the clone. In the case of a server failure, you will be able to browse the data store, add to the inventory on the shared storage and switch the cloned machine.

Guys,
I have to move a number of them. The two groups are there. If it is not a question about the upgrade of the VC/ESX. I want to use the simplest method possible to move these VMs and here's my plan:
1 copy the whole directory of VM from the data store on VC 2.5 to the data store on vCentre 4.
2. Add the virtual machine to inventory in vCentre 4.
3. upgrade VMware tools
4. switch to hardware version 7.
And that's all. Please let me know if this plan is feasible, or more importantly, no holes in the plan.
Thank you
Hello
You have a few options:
1. you can bring up the old data store for ESX 4.x and save the VM on vCenter 4.0.
2. you can add that the host ESX to vCenter 4.0 3.5 move virtual machines in ESX 4.0 cluster. You can use vMotion and Storage vMotion, according to your needs.
3. you can use the stand-alone converter to make a hot cloning of Linux virtual machines in ESX 4.0.
Best wishes / Saludos

After the movement of virtual machines in VmWare Server 2 for ESX 4i, I get this error when you try to start the virtual machine:
Impossible to turn on the virtual machine with the following error: could not open the disc
"/ path/to/vmdk-0001.vmdk" or one of the Flash disk it depends on.
Reason: Broken pipe.
Anyone's idea what is the problem here?
How did you move virtual machines?
Did you use the converter (https://www.vmware.com/tryvmware/?p=converter)
Otherwise try converter
