• IP address on the virtual machine windows endangered endangered after the importation of the data store.

  I'm gaving a problem with the IP on windows vm disappear after having mounted the snapshot to restore. Here's what I do.

  Mount making LUNS to the esx host area

  I have eyebrows outside the data store to find the vm I want to right click and click Import the vmx file.

  Imports of the virtual machine and when I start it up I wonder if I've moved or copied the VM. I have tried both moved and copy but when I connect to the virtual machine is missing all its IP info.

  Any way to avoid the losting vm sound IP info when I import to the host from a LUN outlet?

  Hello

  Installs on the forum of the Virtual Machine and the guest operating system.

  The MAC of a virtual computer is based on the UUID/name of the virtual machine so if you are not using a static MAC (one that recognizes VMware) and it will change the IP address might also change if you are using DHCP. So I suggest to use a static MAC in the VM configuration.

  Another way is to set up the guest operating system in the virtual machine with a static IP address instead of a DHCP function.

  But if you are unable to remove the virtual machine or the copy in the virtual machine, there may be something locking these files would be an another running virtual machine. If you need to find this VM and kill him. In this case, "vmware-cmd - L" and 'vmware-cmd - l' host in question can be useful to find where the 'hidden' VM is running.  Ultimately you can use ' vm-support - x "to find a list of the virtual machines running by how the hypervisor lists. Then use 'vm-support - Z' to suspend the offending virtual machine that should unlock everything.

  Yes, the use of these commands is command line.

  However, before using these commands determine if you can find the place where life VM incriminated.

• Many "channels ATA" listed under "eject the material safely on the virtual machine.

  Hello world:

  Just create a new VM WIndows 7 Pro (clean install) as a guest in 10 Workstation running on a host windows system 7 Pro. When copying a large number of files over the network to a drive on data for the virtual machine, I noticed the noise of tale tell us to what looked like a point USB port being ejected and then reconnected. When I checked the icon 'Remove hardware safely' on the virtual machine there is a huge list indicating "Eject ATA channel 0" through channel 29? There don't seem to be valid items associated with these elements. There are also various other items that seem to be standard items for the virtual machine. I don't have it under other VM, although most of those that have been created in earlier versions of VMware Workstation and then upgraded to Workstation 10. Is this normal? Or something is running wild on this virtual machine?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Best regards, Dave Melnyk

  Hi Dave,.

  It is "normal" that the majority of our virtual PCI/PCIe and SATA devices are hot pluggable.  Another explanation (and workarounds, if you find it distracting) are in this thread: 10 Workstation: Windows 'Remove' Gone Wild

  We had a few questions about this lately, and we have had discussions on the question of whether we could eventually add a checkbox to control if these devices are default hot pluggable.

  In the meantime, feel free to ignore them or use the workarounds in the first thread I linked above.

  See you soon,.

• Lion running as a virtual machine under Windows (in front of the normal).

  Long story short, I'll install Windows (natively) on my MBA (lots of reasons - application compatibility, management files, etc.) but would like to have OS X on the side to play with. Anyone have any experience using OS X Lion in a virtual machine under Windows? Since it IS an Apple computer brand, I think it would be legal Yes? I'm guessing there will be VM Tools, but again, since it is an MBA, the drivers should be built anyway?
  
  Thank you

  First VMware does not support Mac OS x (and version) running under Windows!

  Mac OS X Lion, which is preinstalled cannot be legally virtualized and to virtualize Mac OS X Lion, you need to have a copy that was purchase on the App Store or on USB and then can only be virtualized on Mac OS X Lion!

• After the Virtual Machine is hot migrated lose the reference to the virtual computer object (VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine)

  Hello

  In my VB.Net application, I retrieve the virtual computer object (VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine) through scripting Powershell VI.

  If the Virtual Machine is migrated to another host (hotmigrate) I receive an event (VMware.Vim.VmMigratedEvent), which also holds the moref of the Virtual Machine. I tried to use the updateview method to refresh the virtual computer object but failed with an error message stating that the object could not be found, or never existed.

  I also tried to recover the virtual computer object again, throug the method Client.GetView and the moref returned by the event, but the same error message.

  How can I get my hands on the virtual computer object or update after migration to another host takes place. I have to get it back again? It would be great if I could do it somhow with information from moref I hold the event!

  Any help is appreciated!

  Concerning

  Manfred

  Sorry, but I can only show you how to do this in PowerShell.

  I use the purpose of the task to get to the prompt MoRef.

  Here's how:

  $vmName = 
  $tgtHost = 
  $tgtPool = 
  
  $vm = Get-VM $vmName | Get-View
  $poolMoRef = (Get-ResourcePool $tgtPool | Get-View).MoRef
  $esxMoRef = (Get-VMHost $tgtHost | Get-View).MoRef
  
  $task= Get-View ($vm.MigrateVM_Task($poolMoRef, $esxMoRef, "lowPriority", "poweredOn"))
  
  while($task.Info.State -eq "running" -or $task.Info.State -eq "queuing"){
    $task.UpdateViewData()
  }
  
  $vmImpl = Get-VIObjectByVIView -MORef $task.Info.Entity
  

  I don't know how you get at the VmMigratedEvent event, but the MoRef in there is pointing to the correct prompt.

  In the following script, I extracted all the events related to the task of vMigrate immediately after the vMigrate task finished

  function Print-VmName{
       param($event)
  
       $MoRef = New-Object VMware.Vim.ManagedObjectReference
       $MoRef.Type = $event.vm.vm.type
       $MoRef.Value = $event.vm.vm.Value
       $vm = Get-View $MoRef
       Write-Host $vm.Name
  }
  
  $events = Get-VIEvent -Start (Get-Date).addminutes(-15)
  $events | % {
       $event = $_
       $eventType = $_.GetType().Name
       switch ($eventType){
            "VmMigratedEvent" {
                 $eventType
                 Print-VmName $event
            }
            "VmEmigratingEvent"{
                 $eventType
                 Print-VmName $event
            }
            "VmBeingHotMigratedEvent" {
                 $eventType
                 Print-VmName $event
            }
            "TaskEvent" {
                 $eventType
                 Print-VmName $event
            }
       }
  }
  

• Change the operating system selected a virtual machine under tension in vCenter

  Is this possible? I looked in the box change the Settings - Options - but I can't see the usual fall down?

  You should turn off the machine.

  If you have made a mistake by setting for 32-bit or 64 - bit or vice versa, it does not really affect the virtual machine.

  If you have entirely changed the operating system, then you will need to power off and do it right that there is again a critical impact. the operating system you choose decides the type of SCSI controllers and things.

  I suggest you set a stop and do time.

• Cannot start the physical machine converted to a virtual machine under ESXi 4.0

  Hi all

  I have 2 has with the material below

  Dell optiplex 755 2.4 Qcore 4 GB of RAM and 160 GB of HARD drive

  A performer with ESXi 4.0 other runs with Windows 2003.

  I tried to convert physical machine with "Vmware Vcenter converter Stand alone" 4.0.1 build 161434

  I used the tool on the source machine and by another machine on the network.

  The two process converts the physical machine to a virtual machine successfully without any errors.

  After conversion, the virtual machine cannot start, and shows only a small slider that is not flashing too.

  

  The physical machine have a single partition of 160 GB

  The space currently used on the physical machine is 26 GB.

  I reduced the size of the HARD drive to virtual computer with fix / light available in 40 GB.

  point to make here is that the ESX have only 160 GB HDD, so he will not be able to copy all 160 GB because of which I am reducing the 40 GB HARD drive

  I converted a few other physical machines with 40 GB HARD drive and they work well after the conversion.

  Any sugessions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Sunil,

  Let me know the drive selected in the custom option controller.

  Thank you

• Virtual machine vacuum health

  Hi guys.

  I have vRealize Operations Manager 6.2, all collectors running. But, when I want to see the health of the Virtual Machine, he didn't show!

  

  Do you know why?

  Other indicators kpi works very well.

  

  Thank you.

  The badge of health is exclusively led by active alerts for this item: If you have no alerts, it remains empty "without health problems. To prove that everything is fine, you can create an alert to critical health for virtual machines and wait for it to appear. Or you can activate the policy Hardening Guide then you will immediately see the badge risk get orange or red. If you have numbers inside the badges in mind (Score of health) - the numbers are gone since version 6.0.

• Deployment of a virtual machine from a store of data with less space, but enough for the virtual machine

  I received this delicate task, and I can understand not just how to replace all parts.

  I need to create a script that will be smartly decided what data store to deploy a virtual computer.  We do not want to deploy in a data store that has the most space, we want to deploy to the data store that has the least space but can still account for the space for the (vm + 5%) and still leave 50 GB free on the lun after the move.

  Thus, for example, if the virtual machine is 40 GB, we want the script to select the data store that has a close to 90 GB available without being under.

  So my thought for this approach is:

  • Create the query to get all the relevant LUNS.  This excludes all the LUNS with the 'local' name in it and excludes all LUN owners (who have a slightly different naming convention then our general shared storage LUNS)
    • This piece, which I partially understood
      • Get-datastore. WHERE-object {($_.)} Name: corresponds to "PAR0 [1-4] _ [edp] * disk *")- and ($_.) "." Name - notmatch 'local')}
    • Now, I need to get all of their total size and free space.  Perhaps export this list to a CSV, however if I have to.
    • Create a variable that contains: the size of the total virtual machine to the virtual machine that is deployed before its deployment.
    • Deduct vm size against each data store size and pull in some way that that also close to 50 GB free on the data store and still facilitates the deployment of the vm.
      

  I have a few other scripts, I scrounged on the internet that I tried to restore... but I just don't calm not having all the pieces...

  • Get-Datastore. Where-Object {$_.} ParentFolder-match 'Internal'} ' | Select-Object - property data center, FreeSpaceMB, CapacityMB name, ' | Tri-objet-property FreeSpaceMB
  • Select-Object Name,@{n="CapacityGB";e={[math]::round (($_.)) {{(CapacityMB/1024))}}, @{n = "FreeSpaceGB"; e = {[math]: round (($_.))}} {{(FreeSpaceMB/1024))}}, @{n = "FreeSpacePercent"; e = {[math]: round (($_.))}} FreeSpaceMB / $_. {{(CapacityMB*100))}} | Sort-Object FreeSpaceGB

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  -Knotz

  Try something like this

  # Get all data warehouses

  $ds = get-Datastore. Where-Object {($_.)} Name: corresponds to "PAR0 [1-4] _ [edp] * disk *")- and ($_.) "." Name - notmatch 'local')} |

  Select-Object Name,

  @{n = "CapacityGB"; e = {[math]: round (($_.))}} {{(CapacityMB/1024))}}.

  @{n = "FreeSpaceGB"; e = {[math]: round (($_.))}} {{(FreeSpaceMB/1024))}}.

  @{n = "FreeSpacePercent"; e = {[math]: round (($_.))}} FreeSpaceMB / $_. {{(CapacityMB*100))}}

  {foreach ($vm in Get - VM)

  # Find possible candidates

  $candidates = $ds | where {($_.)} FreeSpaceGB - $vm. (UsedSpaceGB-50) - gt 0}

  # Find the best candidate

  $target = $candidates | Tri-objet-property FreeSpaceGB-descending | Select - 1 first

  Write-Output "VM $($vm.). Name) can go to $($target.) (Name) ".

• Students cannot "connect/disconnect the virtual machine's CD/DVD devices.

  I will start with this context (and apologies for the wall o ' text): I'm a newbie.  I took the course VMware local community college offers [VMware ESXI Server Enterprise (CIS197)], but I've not yet certified. And I don't have a real experience, except what I have taught myself so far.

  I recently accepted a position of learning associated with the College (think: glorified lab tech). I was tasked to work with stuff from VMware in the laboratory (among other things such as Cisco and Juniper equipment). There is no pass-down information like the previous left the position four months ago.

  We have a single host running ESXi 348481 4.1.0. "We have vCenter Server (5.5.0, 1312298), running on Windows Server (2008 R2, Enterprise Edition).  Access host and vCenter through two different IP, addresses using the vSphere client (either 5.5 or 4.1, using a single application - depends to know if I connect to the host or vCenter).

  At that time, the host is using local storage only (we have plans to change this, but it will take time).  The host is not a production on its own server, because it does not have a school systems.  He does, however, run a number of virtual machines in the lab, students use (Linux, Microsoft, Web design, etc.).  So, right now, I can't take it down.

  I was tasked to create a number of virtual machines that students can use to make the basic labs of Microsoft Windows 7.  So far, I have:
  -Created users, one per student, on the host.
  -Creating VMs, deploy one per student, I have a gold model vcenter.
  -Creation of roles to limit the access of students to just their VM attributed, which they access via client vSphere.
  -Created a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controller that is also a DHCP server.
  -Created a virtual network, which is accessible only by the Windows 7 virtual machines and is not visible outside the vSphere environment (if I said this right - he does not see the Internet or school network).

  So far, it's all good.

  However, I need to be able to allow students the ability to edit the ISO file on which their VM points in order to complete some laboratories. I guess they would use the button "connect/disconnect the virtual machine's CD/DVD devices" on the taskbar (or console window). It does not work.
  I searched a lot and found that others have had the same problem.  However, all of the solutions I've tried so far have failed.  When they click 'Connect to ISO image on the data... store. "they get an error message means nothing to me,"an internal error has occurred in the vSphere Client. Details: Object Reference not set to an instance of an object. Contact VMware support if necessary.
  The role that I use for students has these settings:
  -Data store > Browse the data store
  -Virtual Machine > Configuration > change the settings of the device
  -Virtual Machine > Configuration > settings
  -A bouquet under the virtual machine > Configuration >
  -Configure CD media
  -Console interaction
  -Connection of the device
  -On
  -Power off
  -(and more, which I don't believe are important to the question)
  -State > create the snapshot
  -State > go back to the snapshot

  I tried "Virtual Machine > Configuration > add existing disk", "Virtual Machine > Configuration > add new disk" and "Virtual Machine > Configuration > add or remove an instrument" with no luck.

  Either by the way, the root account can do all these things, but no other account can - not even a game as an administrator account.

  I've seen mention I have apply the role in the data store.  It is perhaps part of the problem. I can't see the data store when I am connected to the host (wellll, I can, if I click on the host name, then on the Summary tab - but roles do not apply at this stage).  I see is 'Inventory' (which has virtual machines and Pools of resources), 'Rôles' and 'log files '.

  I can see the data store when logged in vCenter. Roles of students, however, are defined on the host computer. If I clone the role of users in vCenter and change this role cloned to have "permissions" that those who are on the host computer and then apply it to the data store, it still does not work.

  So, after all this (which I hope I've included all the necessary information), what can I do to allow the students to change ISO to which they are connected?

  Of course, if I left something, or if someone has a question, please ask.  I want to get this resolved as soon as I can.

  It turns out that I finally found the solution to the problem.

  What 'fixed', it is sufficient to vSphere Web Client to vCenter, which then allowed us to use Single Sign-On (SSO).  This, in turn, allowed us to define users and roles in vCenter (rather than having set them up directly on the host computer) which have then been applied to the VMS of students and also to the data store.

  Now, they can (de-) connect their ISOs at will.

  I find it interesting that vSphere Client (application) shows the users (and the things that they have access to), but it won't let you set of users.

• Creation of the virtual machine on a cluster using the vmcreate.pl script

  Hello

  I checked a few posts on this forum on how to create the virtual machine through vmcreate.pl, but responses was not so clear to me...

  These are the topics I've read:

  Create a VM on the Cluster instance

  How to configure the managed object HostSystem

  So, I would like to create a virtual machine on a Cluster, and not on a specific host. The vmcreate.pl script would have done the job? Or should I change it?

  In the topic = > VM create instance on Cluster I did not quite get, what I need to change...

  That's what I do:

  vmcreate.pl - server 'ESX NAME' - username "LOGIN" - password 'PASS' filename - vmcreate.xml - schema vmcreate.xsd

  
  

  Result:

• "Unable to connect to MKS" when connecting to the virtual machine shared

  Hello

  I have a handful of Shared VMs Im trying to access remotely with VMware Workstation Pro 12 (same version on the client and the host - two Windows 10 machines). I am able to connect to the host that shares virtual machines, I can see all the virtual machines shared, open the virtual machine (as in it opens in a tab within the workstation) and virtually no action on the virtual machine including all power options, instant, change settings, etc.. The problem is that if I turn on a virtual computer (or connect to an existing virtual machine under tension, I get the following error and Im not able to access the actual console since it remains as a black screen.

  Unable to connect to the MKS: (name of user and password) Login incorrect.

  I also noticed that on the client Windows Event Viewer is to launch the following warning events at the same time that the error in the Workstation has been lifted - Im not seeing any on the host are thrown.

  

  

  I've seen a lot of posts here with users who run the question and he usually ended up being a network problem. I turned off the Windows Firewall on both machines, checked ports 443 and 902 listening on the host and Im in telnet from the client to the host on port 902. I also saw another suggestion for updating the client Windows hosts file to include [host name] [IP address] and [FQDN of the host name] [ip address], but this subject seems not helped either.

  Suggestions in this regard does not happen what keeps or where to find more information about the cause?

  Thank you!
