Move VM between data on the same vCenter centers

Hey all the...

With a virtual machine off, I'm migrating a VM between data centers in the same vCenter. There is no shared storage, different networks to the destination host. The user interface works (caveat about the missing shows destination network), yet move-vm does not work between data centers.

By train: move-vm - vm test-20150309 - destination esx1 datastore - datastore1, I get the error:

Move-vm: 09/03/2015-14:48:20 Move - VM Destination container must be in the same data center.
On line: 1 char: 1

The manual States -Destination can be file, host, cluster etc... As the hosts AND records are bound by data centers, I guess it must know the new host & the new folder. I tried to use - destination twice, and I've tried - destination host, folder.

Move-VM: cannot bind parameter because the 'Destination' is specified more than once. To provide several parameter values that can accept multiple values, use the table syntax. For example, '-parameter value1, value2, value3 ".

Move-VM: missing an argument for the parameter "Destination." Specify a parameter of type 'VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Types.V1.Inventory.VIContainer' and try again.

I used PowerCLI 5.8 and tried on 5.0 and 4.0 vCenter.

  • Move VM between data warehouses

    What is the fastest way to move a virtual machine between two warehouses of data on the same host ESXi?

    I Don t use vCenter. The disks are thick lazy available at zero and about 400 GB in size.

    Follow these steps:

    • power off the virtual machine (do not suspend)
    • delete the virtual machine of the inventory
    • Open the data store with the virtual machine file
    • in the left pane, select the root folder and in the right pane, select the folder of the virtual machine
    • then either click on the "Move" icon or right click on the folder and select "move to".
    • Once moved, open the browser to store data to the new data store

  • Replicate a VM in the same vCenter environment

  • R12: Copy a group of companies with configurations, metadata and data in the same instance of OA

    The idea was born to a very common condition between the companies IT. pre-sales and pro-ventes groups do various tasks, including the response of the RPF/RFI, PoC, building, Solution architecture, customer demo etc. Ususally they do not have the dedicated application instances, or rather they do not find a sufficient number of cases of applications dedicated to deep study of the road. Every other day a group cries out for an Apps instance and the same gets lift for senior management in short time. It gives a lot of pain to the infrastructure/DBA groups because they fail to meet people like them, due to the limited availability of free nodes, resources, networks and space etc.

    I have a Vision of the R12.1.3 (tell SID = VIS1213) installed on a Linux machine. The box is quite busy with his hearts limited, showing little free memory and the attached SAN has insufficient free space remaining. A group of Oracle Apps pre-sales consultants, says "Group 1", is the use of this.»

    Now the 3 other groups are asking for a R12.1.3 Vision instance separately for different reasons below. Each of them wants the instance again and do not share with others.

    Group 2 for deep study of the road against a critical response to RFP
    Group-3 for the development of a point of contact for a customer demo
    Group 4 for the manufacture of PUK media on some business processes

    In this scenario, I should install 3 distinct Vision of R12.1.3 (using CDs or downloaded zip) or clone VIS1213 in 3 different places with different SIDS, possibly on one or more separated nodes (as above Linux node has insufficient free resources). In this case, the need for available server resources and disk space multiplied by 3, so that DBA maintenance for these 3 new instances is added.

    Hope that I have clear air up to this point.

    Then I was thinking if we have "virtual instances" within an existing instance of Apps, by copying from a vertain org level. First I thought I'd take THE level, but it will not work if an instance of group to work with HRMS claims. We must therefore take business group level. After that we will create the appropriate role and responsibility, user profile options so that the new user can see and work on the new BG and data area down only. It will be like a separate instance to use.
    Benefits of my desired task will be

    -no separate server resource, the required network
    -no additional DBA not involved maintenance
    -no separate required backup plan

    So here it is to create 3 new "virtual instances" right within the same instance of VIS1213. New groups will have same URL, same existing TNS details but 3 credentials different existing access. Each of them would be limited in a way so that they can not see each and other data and can not hurt each and other changes.

    This can be achieved if we can copy an existing group of its activities with org structures, metadata and data, within the same instance. Oralce planning cannot be copied within the same instance configurations.

    What I've done so far was I manually created a new BG, attached an existing sobbing (CoA, Agenda / currency), created a new, copied and modified accounting structure flexfields before fixing, created the new ORGANIZATIONAL unit, and then a new InvOrg of master and a new InvOrg clild, defined the profile MO some GL and HR profiles. Then I extracted finished master and data assignment article category Masters against a master/child existing InvOrg, updated the data for newly created InvOrgs, inserted into tables insterface and ran seeded import conc program element. Except for a few, all data have been loaded into base against new InvOrgs tables.

    Then I tried with master provider (with sites and contacts). A few AP configurations are required, and then data provider (+ contact + site) have been loaded against OR newly created (under new BG) base tables.

    I do not proceed after that. I'm currently looking for ideas from the experts on how to go further.

    Planning is able to create this kind of 'virtual instance' within the same instance of OSTEOARTHRITIS?

  • Use two assistants for the acquisition of data at the same time

    Hello

    I want to read multiple data channels of analog inputs on my DAQ hardware. However, when I try to create two separate data acquisition assistants for each entry, it gives an error saying "is reserved for the specified resource. The operation could not be performed as indicated "." Can't use two assistants for the acquisition of data at the same time?

    I have to add different channels in the same assistant DAQ? I tried, but I couldn't separate the data in different graphs.

    How does this work?

    Kind regards

    Allard

    You can't have multiple tasks of the same type (in this case inputs analog) on the same device.  Just so having 1 DAQ Assistant read all your channels and separate your channels for individual transformation.

  • Lack of voice and data at the same time kills me

    After using a treo 750 (WM 6.1) on att for the past three years, I guess I did not realize the advantage of ATT and gsm in general.  There are many drawbacks... mainly pricing for simple accounts (However their family plan was directly comparable to those of sprint).  I constantly try to use data applications while talking on the phone without success.  I started thinking that I could do without, but a week later, I still really really miss.  My wife did too... because she's I usually give directions or any other web information while on the phone.  There is nothing like view google satellite map to help someone make sure they are in the right place... "see a big tree on your right with a large Brown building behind it, Yes, it's that one" does anyone else have this feeling?  WiFi is not an option for me most of the time.

    Voice and data at the same time is not available when using any CDMA network due to network constraints. This is true for all types of phones, not only Palm or not only the Pre. Your example of electronic control or by using google maps, the gps data that can be stored before you activate the call. try to browse the web while making a call and try to go to a web page, you have never visited before, so that you know, that he cannot be a version collected page.

  • Is possible let activate domain multi UCS VM - FEX and sign up for the same vCenter

    Hi Experts,

    We have 7 domain UCS. But only a vCenter. Now, we want to enable VM - FEX on each UCS area and sign up for the same vCenter. Is - it work? I have found no description limit configuration on this relationship.

    Or we create 7 vCenter for each UCS area? (But I think it's not sense.)

    Best regards
    Meng-Yuan Hsieh (Nick)

    Hi Moua!

    I open a TAC case on that, and after that many discussions with Cisco, connecting several areas a single vCenter UCS is supported.  However, it turns out that Cisco failed to document this and how to make it work.  You will find that the procedures were written in old documentation for VN-LINK and others for VM - FEX.  This documentation shows that it is necessary to create new certificates, and it must match the key to expansion.  This is NOT true nor with the new versions of UCSM and vCenter.  Cisco, said they will update their documentation.

    Here are the steps that we took to connect two UCS areas for the same vCenter using default self-signed certificates.  I hope this helps...  Please mark this message as the right answer when you get a chance.  Thank you!!

    vCenter Version: 5.5

    UCSM Version: 2.2(5a)

    1. On the VM in UCS Manager tab, click VMware.
    2. Set up a key of the unique extension for every area of UCS.
    3. Click on "Configure VMware integration" on each area of UCS and export expansion of local storage.
    4. Install each UCS domain extensions in vCenter.
    5. After you install the extensions, back to UCSM and click Next where you left off in configure integration with VMware
    6. Run the wizard and after that it's over, areas of the UCS should now be connected to the vCenter.

  • several stores data on the same disks

    It's so strange. I can't create several stores data on the same drive. I have a 2 TB plugged on my server (motherboard) disk and after that I created my first store of data (100 GB), when I return to create another, that the drive isn't an option for me to create a new data store of. When I delete the data store, the drive comes as an option to create a new data store of. WTF?

    of http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-esx-4-1/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm#href=fc_san_config/c_making_lun_decisions.html

    A logic unit number must contain only a single VMFS data store.

    I guess the reason for this is a SCSI reservation. Even if this has been significantly reduced in 4.x it is still necessary for some operations. Each SCSI reservation - even if this is necessary for an operation on a datastore - locks the entire disk and could therefore cause problems on other stores of data on the same drive.

  • How to select data using the same remote database column name 3

    Not valid. This makes no sense and breaks all the rules of scope-resolution. And if it is in a single database, or uses tables in databases, is not relevant.

    Each object must be particularly well identified. If you cannot do this:

    select * from (table1@remotedatabase1, table1@remotedatabase2, table1@remotedatabase3) a
    

    3 objects cannot share the same alias. Example:

    SQL> select * from (dual, dual) d;
    select * from (dual, dual) d
                       *
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
    

    You need to combine objects - by using a join union or similar. He will have to be done as follows:

    SQL> select * from (select * from dual d1, dual d2) d;
    select * from (select * from dual d1, dual d2) d
           *
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00918: column ambiguously defined
    

    However, we need to have unique column in a projection of SQL names - so the join of the need to project a unique set of columns. So:

    SQL> select * from (select d1.dummy as dummy1, d2.dummy as dummy2 from dual d1, dual d2) d;
    
    DUM DUM
    --- ---
    X   X
    
    SQL> 
    

    I suggest that you look carefully at what opportunities are and how it applies in SQL - and ignore if the referenced objects are local or remote, because it has no effect on the basic principles of scope-resolution.

  • Is vMotion road data via the server vCenter Server?

    Hello

    I need help to solve a query I have.

    We currently have a vCenter server that manages certain clusters, but also some stand-alone hosts with local storage (not shared). Stand-alone hosts are physically located on remote sites. Some sites have more than one of these stand-alone hosts. We have an obligation to move a VM to a standalone host guest to another independent host on the same remote site.

    As there is no shared storage the VM should be stopped before trying the vMotion.

    The virtual machine in question has a 4 TB thick VMDK accrued that is migrated between the physical host computers.

    I think when the vMotion is launched the data will be limited to the subnet that the two physical hosts are connected and therefore use the bandwidth available via local network equipment and will not let the physical site. My colleague suggested, however, that data travels through the vCenter server. Of course, this would cause a problem to try to move the data so much and would effectively mean that this 4TB would leave travel via the vCenter server, remote site, then return to the remote site. Not only this would be very slow, it could also have a negative impact on bandwidth to and from the site.

    So my question is who is correct? (Assuming that one of us is!)

    Thank you

    When you start migrating cold from a virtual computer by selecting migrate both (host and storage) where your hosts are based in the same place, it will happen with esxi source and target host, it will not go all the way to your host to vCenter.

    If your environment is vSphere client of web use 5.1 or higher, and you can move VM while it is powered on and residing in the local storage of the host. This feature is called Cross-host migration. available only by using the web client.
