  How can I change the looks of Access Infrastructure Web location for the virtual machine files?

  My default is set to MACHINES C:\VIRTUAL.  But I want to change it to turn to an external drive connected with an eSata cable. Can I do this?

  Hello

  Add just like a new data store.

  Login to your web access, select your host (not the virtual machines) in the left menu.

  You should see a link on the right side with "Add data store", give it a name of store and add the directory.

  Now, you can add a virtual machine to this place.

  Good luck!

• Virtual machine file size does not decrease after moving files

  My Windows XP virtual machine file was about 25 GB after I migrated from a Windows PC on a Mac. So this morning I moved on the 12 GB of files of the virtual machine is the My Documents folder to the my Mac Documents folder.  However, the file size of the Virtual Machine does not decrease at all.  What ' s past? Is there a utility that I have to run to compress the file or something? Why the files of the Virtual Machine has not declined the amount of files moved to the Mac OS environment?

  Thanks for the tips. I ran the cleaning disc as well as remove snapshots, but it only reduced the size of the file by about 1 to 2 GB. Much less than the 13 and 14 GB that was moved. Other ideas on where is hiding that extra GB of 11-12?

  You did copy or move, and if copied then you can remove and empty the trash?  Did you use Disk Cleanup to do some house-keeping file and empty all but the last restore Point before you shrink the disc?  Another way to check that is placed on a Windows system is to look at the drive with WinDirStat.  For the side Mac, check out GrandPerspective.

• How do you exit name of Virtual Machine of ' Get - VM | Get-AdvancedSetting' command?

  Hello, I have a question which is hopefully enough simple to answer.

  I'm having this problem explained in KB 2078352 and you want a list of VMs affected before hotfixing them, to see if it helped with our problem or not.

  
  Sample line:

  Get - vm | Get-AdvancedSetting - name tools.deployPkg.fileName

  Name value Type Description

  ----                 -----                ----                 -----------

  tools.deployPkg.f... imc1D01.tmp VM

  tools.deployPkg.f... imc937E.tmp VM

  tools.deployPkg.f... imc32EE.tmp VM

  tools.deployPkg.f... imc6030.tmp VM

  This shows only the value of the file names, but not the names of virtual machine. So I was just wondering how I can get an output of name of virtual machine with this information?

  Thanks in advance.

  Try adding a Format-Table may

  Get - VM | Get-AdvancedSetting |
  Select @{N = "VM"; E={$_. @entity.name}}, Name, Value | Format-Table - AutoSize

• vROPs - you can create a report to show when a virtual machine has changed and what has changed?

  I can't currently developing a report/view that can show me what I'm looking for.  I thought since it's related capabilities vROPs can keep track.  Is there a way to see the when a virtual machine has changed and what has changed?  Looking mainly vdisk, vCPU or vRAM.

  Thanks for help or suggestions.

  Hi newbski1,

  There are few things you can try to help him with this.

  1. the events view shows you changes in resources, it is not terribly detailed, but it will help

  2. depending on your version, you can also view in Configuration Manager that is part of the vRO suite that will show you the changes to configurations.

  See you soon

• Virtual machine is interrupted after 30 minutes of power on.

  Virtual machine is interrupted after 30 minutes of power on. In case you connect power only records.

  Do you own information, how to solve this problem.

  vCenter Server 4.1.

  Do you own information, how to solve this problem.

  Check the Power ON option and see if it is set to sleep mode when idle (I think its default value in windows 7)

• The virtual machine files

  Hello;

  Just noticed that in my data store, there are several folders to a single virtual machine, e.g. VM-Marketing, it also has Marketing_1-VM and VM-Marketing_2.

  When I go on the 'change settings' of this virtual machine, in the hardware tab, and on the hard drive, it's going to [datastore] VM-Marketing_2/VM - Marketing.vmdk.

  Then in the General Options in the 'Options' tab, the Configuration of the VM tab is [datastore] VM-Marketing_2/VM - Marketing.vmx

  It seems that my VM it working in the VM-Marketing_2 file in the data store, what about the other two?, this virtual machine, it is quite heavy, it has a 80 GB HARD drive and I have 3 of them if total 240 GB, so can I remove them?, is there something I can do atin the VCenter?

  The content of this files are:

  Thanks for your time...

  Welcome to the community - VM when is created ESX, it will use the name of the default computer name of directory where the virtual machine and its files will be stored - if a directory with that name already exists, it increments the directory with _1, _2 etc - so I am betting by the same VMs na, e were created before the one you have currently in production - Maybe the intention had been to delete these virtual machines, but when they have been deleted, rather than by selecting delete from the disk - remove inventory has been selected which will keep the directory structure.

• Rename all the virtual machine files in the data store

  Hello

  We have renamed one of the name of the server of our virtual machine running on esx3.5. In addition, we have renamed this server in VC to reflect the new name of the server. Please tell us how we can rename all files in this virtual machine residing in the data store to reflect the new name of the server.

  Appreciate your quick response.

  Thanks in advance...

  You can use sVMotion and move it to another data store or migrate from cold.  Two tasks will rename the underlying set of files.

• Copy the virtual machine files

  Hello

  I would like to know if I had to copy a virtual machine on my personal laptop, what files should I copy? Told me that VMDK files are not enough. That is why I want to what files exactly?

  And also if my application VM and the VM database are 2 different servers, it will work if I copy them and run them on my laptop?

  Thank you.

  If you laptop is isolated from the area, you'll need to local users account on the virtual machine, so I suggest you note the local administrator account and the password and check if this account is activated.

  Just a further point, if the services in the system VMs depends on domain services, for example: If you are using a domain account to run, you need will change this setting to use the local account and give the necessary permission for this local account.

• Open Virtual Machine File Format license agreement

  Why it is not possible to validate license of the Open Virtual Machine Format file?

  A good example is OracleDevelopperDay distributed by Oracle: Developer Day - hands-on Database App Development & lt; / title & gt; & lt; meta name = & quot; Title & quot; content = & quot; dev...

  A popup ask agree to license, but do not show the license and do not accept.

  Kind regards

  Chris

  If it comes to the message box shows license but can't scroll or see buttons try clicking on the text and then press space bar tab.  If this make disappear the license agreement message box then use ovftool from the command line using -acceptAllEulas option which accepts all users final license agreements without being invited.

• All of my virtual machines are "busy" after upgrading Linux

  I upgraded from Slackware64 13.37 abreast (close enough to the new version 14.0 - kernel 3.2.29) and installed vmplayer 5.0.0 build-812388.

  Vmplayer installation was possible with the "-ignore-errors option, like the previous version."

  When I try to play any of my images .vmx, I always get an error "the virtual machine is busy.".

  In the windows client, vmplayer creates a directory of "lck" with a lock file '.lck"in there.

  Remove this file does not resolve the issue.  If I don't remove this file and try to run the virtual machine again, vmplayer leaves.

  When running from the command line, I get this:

  vmplayer $ Windows_7.vmx

  He complains about parameters and a missing config file but load the default values.

  I see nothing more that show some kind of error.

  How can I solve this?

  You must load modules into the kernel:

  vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
  
  Older versions do it automaticly but for some reason i don't know you have to do it manually.
