Possible for the host to read the files on virtual machines?

Is it possible for a host read files on virtual machines?

If you can get information using vmrun command, then I think that vmware-cmd command will help to define the variables that can think inside the vmx file. As vmx file is inside ESX server only so that you can shut down the VM and edit the vmx file, then you can register to the virtual machine using the vmware-cmd command.

Thank you

  • Require a process step by step for the migration of virtual machines to new VMware ESX hypervisor

    Hello

    I'm looking for the method step by step for the migration of virtual machines to new host ESX Migration both cold and hot.

    Scenario - I have two data centers running ESX host stand-alone (with VM) in Europe. I need to build the new ESX host in new Dataceter to Singapore.

    Need prerequisites, the methods available for migrate VMWARE virtual has new host ESX (in the new data center) with minimum downtime.

  • PowerCLI script for the deployment of virtual machines via the model using customizations comments

    Hello... I hope someone can give me a script that will do the following:

    (1) provision VMs in vCenter template (I need 125 + VMs created in the next day or two)

    (2) use the existing customizations of comments in vCenter

    (3) let me enter data warehouses available to be created on the virtual machines.  Example: I want that VMs on warehouses of specific data as LUN2, LUN5, LUN6, LUN12, LUN1, etc...  However, the script must have the ability to know when a data store is near the threshold of capacity, say 90%, so it can use one of the other warehouses available, identified in the script... similar to storage profiles.  We still have to adopt profiles storage but plan to do so once upgraded us to v5.1 in the next month or two.  We hope that this will help us keep our replicated LUN more organized during the use of SRM and copy to remote groups, our team of storage's configuration on 3PAR.


    Additional information: I will use 2 styles... Windows XP and Win7.  Their respective sizes are 40 and 60 GB due to all applications for stable DR.  Data warehouses are ea 500 GB.

    Please let me know if additional information is necessary... Thank you!!!

    No, unfortunately you cannot specify a folder like this.

    You'll have to do a

    $folder = get-file-name WinXP

    New-VM-$folder file...

    Remove the line of New - VM WhatIf switch if you really want to start creating virtual machines.

  • options for the backup of virtual machines

    I intend to make regular backups of Backup Exec of my virtual machines as I normally would with a physical server.

    What other options do people use to make backups of their virtual machines?  I Imaging it has options of snapshot in vcenter, I could also take pictures on my SAN... anything else?

    VCB belongs to VMware, command line for most... There are a few 3rd tools part that you can watch that inspire the VCP, some add a GUI, they are expensive but one vRanger connection, look it up. Backup exec can work if you have installed the agent on the virtual computer, etc., but who receives only the files in the comments. Get a backup of the actual files that make up the virtual machine is a little more difficult... the VM must be suspended so to speak, in order to get a good backup files vmdk, etc, that's what can make the 3rd party tools.

    If you can not pass the dough, then search VCB. You will need to know some scripts, but there are tons of rescources here and there that can help you.

    I hope this helps.

  • Definition of reserves on the running JAVA Virtual machines

    I recently came across an overview of VMware performance that had a page essentially recommending reservations memory setting for the running Java virtual machines (see table). We have Java environments and did not have performance problems or complaints so, I doubt that I would implement any changes. However, I am curious to know if it's even a better practical recommendation, I could not put the date on the document so I wanted to see if someone had updated or current information for vSphere 4.X, 5.X environments.

    In General, we only use reservations memory to avoid the overhead administrative and operational increased. If we have never not a necessity, I prefer to use reservations to pool resources rather than granular level VM reservations.

    In my opinion, if you use the reservations are a regularity no exception in your environment, then you can use these rules.  That said, if you don't have no problem, I wouldn't change anything.  I've also linked a new document below.

    I've seen several positions reporting to the same question that you do.  All of these positions were with SATA drives.  Is your Seagate eSATA drive?

    The disc is recognized as an external drive in Device Manager?  In Device Manager, go to the drive properties dialog box and click the policies tab.  An external drive should have two options: "Optimize for quick removal" and "Optimize for performance".  An internal hard drive shows the options as gray (with 'performance' selected), but there should also be a checkbox "Enable disk write cache" under the second option.

    What shows in your policies tab?

    If I understand correctly, "writeback" or "write behind" is implemented by disc material or its pilot.  If the option is not available on the drive properties > policies tab, I would suggest to contact Seagate support.

    Hi Jack,

    This driver belongs to AsIO.sys Asus Probe. Try to uninstall Asus Probe and if you need, install again. If this does not help, uninstall Asus Probe and other tools of control such as Speedfan. Open the registry (regedit.exe) editor and search for AsIO.sys and remove all the entries that you can find.
