• Problem with Migration hot virtual machines Hyper-V

  Dear support

  I am facing problem in Live Migration of Virtual Machine in Windows 2012 of Hyper-V R2 cluster. Here are the details for my current setup.

  Two windows 2012 R2 Datacenter even care Server (HV01 and HV02) both in cluster

  A Virtual Machine created the Volume share of Cluster (c:\Cluster storage\...)

  A network adapter dedicated to the management of server-> 10.0.1.11 (HV01) and 10.0.1.13 (HV02)

  A network card dedicated to Hyper v Virtual Machines-> 10.0.1.12 (HV01) and 10.0.1.14 (HV02) and allow networking option is disabled.

  A network card for the heart beats-> 10.0.20.1 (HV01) and 10.0.20.2 (HV02)

  A network card dedicated for Live Migration-> 10.10.10.50 (HV01) and 10.10.10.51 (HV02) and chosen to be used only for the live migration fails on cluster network settings

  I added the Virtual Machine Cluster Failover successfully without error or warning. When I do a quick migration his works fine but when I do live migration his error giving 21502.

  Please update what's wrong with my setup

• How to migrate a virtual machine from the server with DAS to another server

  Hi guys,.

  questions. 'More' essential Kit. VMotion is available

  I have 2 physical servers, two of them have DAS (not SAN Central). SO I want to migrate a virtual machine on server A to server B. is it possible in this situation?

  Or should I have versions of more expensive VMWare do?

  Thank you
  Dmitry

  You can use clone. I would close first to the bottom of the virtual machine, but a VM slowed would be very nice clone. You can also use the VMware conveter. VMware converter can make a hot clone, including synchronization of last-minute changes, stop the source machine and put under tension the clone.

• Data Center migration of virtual machines and records from one data center to another.

  So, I found an online script that migrates your inventory during one vCenter to another.  I broke the script into two pieces that export (path of the folder path of the VM folder, permissions of folder and notes and custom attributes) and the other to import (create folders, move the virtual machines in the original folder, reset the permissions and set notes and custom attributes).

  The export script works very well.  I have problems with the import script.  If I have the name of the duplicate folder in the tree view of the structure of the tree will get duplicated under each similar folder.  i.e.

  Exported folder structure

  Portuagal-> football

  Spain> football> football

  Any folder structure

  Portugal> football> football

  Spain> football> football

  I guess I should somehow figure out the ID of file but don't have a clue where to start.

  I rewrote the section import of files of the script to avoid the problem of duplicated folder. The new script detects the parent folder by starting to look at the record of the root instead of just the folder above where it should be created. Because the full path is in the .csv file it is possible. The following script should now work correctly:

  ##IMPORT FOLDERS
  $vmfolder = Import-Csv "c:\Folders-with-FolderPath-$($datacenter).csv" | Sort-Object -Property Path 
  
  foreach($folder in $VMfolder){
       $Path = $folder.Path.split("\")
       $PathLength = $Path.Length
       $SubFolder = Get-Datacenter $datacenter | Get-Folder vm
       For ($i= 1; $i -lt $PathLength-1; $i++) {
          $SubFolder = Get-Folder -Location $Subfolder -Name $Path[$i]
       }
       New-Folder -Name $folder.Name -Location $SubFolder
  }
  

  Because the forum software has problem with hooks and contains the script, I have attached the vCenter_migration_import.ps1 script has changed.

• Help the migration of virtual machines

  My company is changing the data center in a co-location facility.  How the migration is performed, there are ESXi hosts and storage shared at Camp already.  Data warehouses are replicated to the storage to the camp of data stores with the same name.  The plan was to stop the virtual machines in the data center, removal of the inventory, browse the data store of one of the colo ESXi servers and add the virtual machine to inventory... Rinse and repeat.

  The problem we encountered had to do with the fact that each virtual machine has VMDK on several data stores.  This process only acknowledged the change of the primary VMDK, VMX file was always looking for 2 other volumes on the old warehouses of data, which could not be accessed camp.

  I have to think that there is a way to generate scripts to avoid this problem to occur.  If we know the identifier for the new storage volume, we should be able to generate scripts, Yes?

  I would like the script to read the VM names from a txt file, remove the virtual machine from the inventory on host1, browse the host2 data store (which is at Camp) and add the machine virtual inventory and then remove and re-add the other volumes, based on the name of the data store (if hard disk 2 is on datastore2 then use 9d0fac87...)

  Any help would be grately appreciated!

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello, BenLiebowitz-

  I looked through your script.  You were just on a good amount of it.  There are a couple of things to tweak and a number of things to correct.  Here is the script of update from what I've seen would / should change (and here is the explanation of the things that I've changed the code).

  # export list of Staging VMsGet-Folder -Name "Staging" | Get-VM | select Name | Sort Name | Export-CSV "c:\staging.csv" -NoTypeInformation
  
  # Get Staging VMs$stg = Get-Folder -Name "Staging"
  
   # Shutdown VMs (cleanly)$stg | Get-VM | Shutdown-VMGuest -Confirm:$false
  
  # Remove Hard Disk 2 and 3$stg = $null$stg = Get-Folder -Name "Staging"    ## getting Staging folder again$hdName2 = "Hard disk 2"$hdName3 = "Hard disk 3"$stg | Get-VM | Get-HardDisk -Name $hdName2,$hdName3 | Remove-HardDisk -Confirm:$false
  
  # Remove VMs from InventoryGet-Folder -Name "Staging" | Get-Inventory | Remove-Inventory -Confirm:$false
  
  ## then, disconnect from the vCenter to which you were connected
  
  ## then, when connected to the vCenter server in the co-location facility:# Add VMs to Inventory$esxhost = "prpp6-vmwhst23.i3global.net"$datastore1 = "someDatastoreName" ## need to set this value!
  
  ## and, add hard disks back to VMsforeach ($row in (Import-Csv c:\staging.csv)) {    $vmName = $row.Name    $vmxfile = "[$datastore1] $vmName/$vmName.vmx"    $vmNewVM = New-VM -VMFilePath $vmxfile -VMhost $esxhost
  
      # Add hard Disks 2 and 3    New-HardDisk -VM $vmNewVM -DiskPath "[transient_deviceid] $vm/$vm.vmdk"    New-HardDisk -VM $vmNewVM -DiskPath "[data_deviceid] $vm/$vm.vmdk"} ## end foreach
  

  Comments about what I've updated / changed:

  • To stop the virtual machines, you should be able to all channel the results of Get - VM directly to Shutdown-VMGuest (I rewrote which)
  • to remove the hard drive, 2 and 3, you can use the cmdlet Remove-hard drive and do it in the pipeline (I rewrote which)
    • the ' $vm = Get - VM $stg | Get-show"line in the foreach loop was going to be problematic, as you had: '$vm' contains managed objects views for all the virtual machines in the folder of staging, not only of the virtual machine currently being acted on this iteration, so things have been broken
  • the remove inventory line, you might want to add "-confirm: $false", as the default behavior may be at the request of confirmation
  • the "$esxhost = prpp6 - vmwhst23.i3global .net' line needed quotes the host name
  • you do not use the $fields variable anywhere, which can be removed
  • I've renamed the variable '$add' to '$row' for a little more clarity
  • in the part that adds the virtual machines to the inventory in the co - lo vCenter:
    • the part that tries to set the value of "$vm" is not quite right; I've updated that (and changed the name of the variable "$vmName" for clarity)
    • you did not initialize the variable "$datastore1" - you must set a value for it (and how you use it assumes that all of the virtual machines in the co - lo facility are on the same data store - is this the case?)
    • you need square brackets around the name of store data and quotes around the value for $vmxfile
    • for the call of New - VM, you might consider providing a folder with - location (if you want the VMs newly saved to a particular folder)
    • for calls of New-hard drive, you need quotes around the value - DiskPath

  I would give that a shot with just a single machine and see how things are going.  Let us know the result.

• Migrate a Virtual Machine like a physical machine

  Here's my situation...

  I had a virtual machine on a Virtual Infrastructure environment.  I wanted to migrate this virtual machine to another ESX environment.  The source environment is maintained by our IT Department and they will not help us or give us access to their environment.  Now we have a local administrator on the computer, virtual access, we decided to migrate the virtual computer as if it were a physical machine (physical machine to the coverter drop-down selection and installation of the agent on the source VM and when you are done uninstalling) in order to bypass interaction with HER.  The virtual machine migrated but very well and seems to work very well.  My question is, is there any potential problems migrating a virtual machine in this way (drivers, hardware, etc.)?

  Thank you!

• Migration of virtual machines to vSphere 4.1 to vSphere 6.0

  As the title eludes to, we are standing up a new physics 6.0 Server vCenter Server and need to migrate virtual machines of 4.1 6.0 guest hosts.  I'd love to take the time to create a script that does the following; However, before heading down this path, I wanted to do a ping of the group to see if someone has done something like this before or have pointers to scripts that perform some of these actions already.  Some background and concept:

  • Running 4.1.
  • A new physical Center of vCenter 6.0 will be deployed side-by-side with 4.1.
  • The existing configuration of vSphere HA allows for 1-2 guests down without impact to the virtual machines.
  • The two environment and will be Cisco N1KV, SAN access shared for the same data storages.
  • A new vCenter will be lifted.
  • A single host is identified and VMs evacuated to the remaining hosts.
  • This host will be in maintenance mode, removed from the cluster and close.
  • A clean install of ESXi 6 will be done and set up spec.
  • N1KV will be deployed.

  To digress on the details at the moment... Now markets PowerCLI desired.  This idea is ad hoc and on the fly, so as I write this.

  • identify all the virtual machines associated with a specific data store - will need to work with the local client to schedule downtime for virtual machines
  • Stop the virtual machine
  • Remove the VM of the vCenter 4.1 inventory
  • to connect to vCenter 6.0
  • Add the virtual machine to the vCenter 6.0 inventory (and once we have passed the first host in the new cluster, automatically place the virtual machine by using the DRS)
  • Reconfigure the vmnic with the new Cisco 1000V dvs (will be the same name on both sides, but has a different ID)
  • pull in the keys and the values to a CSV and advancedsetting set to harden
  • Turn on the virtual machine
  • Perhaps a test of ping for the NETWORK card to check connectivity

  The order in which the steps are performed can be switched around, as long as the desired end result is the same: migration effectively virtual machines between two disparate solutions with single medium sharing as a data store.  In which I realize will always be VMFS3.  New data stores VMFS-5 is another task for another time.

  Thank you for your time, suggestions, links, etc...

  @LucD - hi.

  These steps are quite possible with PowerCLI.

  See the script after skeleton, he probably needs some adjustments to fit your environment and requirements

  $dsName = "xyz".

  $vm = get - VM - $dsName data store

  Stop-VMGuest - VM $vm - confirm: $false

  Remove-VM - $vm VM - confirm: $false

  Disconnect-VIServer-Server vc41 - confirm: $false

  $vc6 = Connect-VIServer-Server vc6

  $newVM = $vm | New-VM - DiskPath $_. ExtensionData.Config.Files.VmPathName - confirm: $false

  # Suppose a CSV file with

  # Key, value

  # key1, value1

  # key2, value2

  $advSettings = import-Csv - UseCulture advSettings.csv

  {foreach ($obj in $newVM)

  $advSettings | %{

  Get-AdvancedSetting - $obj entity - name $_. Key |

• 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.

  It will be great if you can enumerate the markets or redirect me to documentation that I can use to create detailed steps as the target host compatibility check on VMs and so on.

  Please advice

  The steps are correct. The virtual machine must be turned off (step 3).

• Is it possible to migrate a virtual machine between vcenter servers programmatically?

  Hi all

  My question is quite simple:

  -Is it possible to migrate a virtual machine between vcenter servers programmatically?

  Let's say we have two data centers:

  vcenter1

  -vm1

  -vm2

  vcenter2

  -vm3

  Is it possible to migrate vms between vcenter2 and vcenter1 programmatically? (or vice versa)?

  Also, I'm assuming that the appropriate VLAN and data warehouses across the different vcenters!

  Thank you

  Luis

  It is not possible, vMotion or migration live is in an instance of vCenter, it cannot be covered through two even if you have the data store accessible both vCenters and sets of the host. At best, you can unregister the virtual machine of vCenter 1 host and re-save as on vCenter 2 host, but once again, it is while the virtual machine is turned off.

• Migrate a virtual machine with snapshots.  Works?

  In the past, moving VMs between databases or host with snapshots was deadly.

  It still happens in ESX4?

  ESX4 does not throw the warning, as did ESX3.5.

  You can migrate a virtual machine with snapshots, you can just see a different question.  You try to make a vMotion in vCenter?

  What is the symptoms you see?

• Virtual machine in the store of stock data... do not know why?

  Weird, seemingly simple question that I'm hoping someone can help me with. I'm migrating to warehouses of new data here that I will retire from our old data warehouses. I went in my opinion warehousing data and Clusters data store and selected data store. I went to the tab computers virtual and put highlight the entire virtual machine, chose to migrate and chose to migrate to the data store. When he finished two VM have been left. I looked at the settings and both were still in the inventory of data store, because they had the ISO mounted on their CD player that was on this data store. I put the drive of the client machine under devices and click OK. This removed a VM, but not the last one. I went to every setting that I can find to see why this virtual machine is always on the data store. I want to remove the data store, so I can finally get rid of it. If I browse the data store, the folder for this virtual machine is no longer there. If I'm going to change the settings for the virtual path of the VMDK computer is set to the new data store. For the life of me I can't figure out where the connection is for this virtual computer in this data store. We have our NetApp SAN and I checked that I have remove the task backup and all backups so these objects via the plugin vCenter we have and they are no longer on this data store either. Besides the VMDK and the CD drive, if not, how can a VM be bound to a data store?

  This last VM has a preview on this subject?

• "Virtual Machine is a store of data not managed by vCloud Director."

  The deployment of new virtual machines in vCD 1.5 we see alerts the system on all the deployed virtual machines that say "Virtual Machine is a store of data not managed by vCloud Director.  Virtual machine has mounted the media or the drive to a store of data not managed by vCloud Director.  Ensure that the Virtual Machine has all the drives and the media mounted on a data store managed by vCloud Director".

  The virtual machines in the catalogue have been imported from vCenter and have a single drive and no media mounted.  Storage is the same that the new virtual machines are deployed.  Virtual machines of power on the good and seem to be ok, but they are all showing this alert system, with 3 catalog from different sources.

  Indeed, it is the question.

  I used SSD on the local disks for VM vswap. I have it configured on Cluster (cluster vswap policy for vSphere) and I got this error message.

  I configured the Cluster vswap strategy to use the same directory as the virtual machine, and I use the new "Host Cache" feature of ESXi5 to use my local SSD drives.

  Fixed it.

  To deliver you, just configure the policy of vswap cluster where you will store the vswap with virtual machine (on the same storage seen by vCD) or add storage nfs for the vCD and it will fix your problem.
