• How can I get the version of VMware to virtual machines with powercli officer?

  How can I get the version of VMware View Agent running on a virtual machine with powercli or view Powercli?

  As much as I know there is no cmdlet PowerCLI for this, but you can use the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet and interrogate the Win32_Product class.

  By running the following. You can add a Where clause to return only the Agent of the view

• 64 bit VMs in ESX/ESXi 4.0 that is running as a Virtual Machine in VMware Workstation 7.0.1

  I created an ESX4 host in VMware Workstation 7.0.1 as a Machine with 4 GB of RAM, 2 vCPUs and 1 (25 GB for installation) VMDK virtual and more later added 75 GB VMDK as an iSCSI LUN using openfiler.

  My vCenter Server runs as a Virtual Machine with SQL Express Edition 2005 DB.

  I want to install a Windows Server 2008 R2, which is a 64-bit as a virtual machine within the VM ESX4 embedded operating system. Is this possible?

  Hello

  as this comment by DOC from VMWare, in the 'internal' invited you will just be able to run 32-bit clients, never a 64 bit one.

• URGENT! After installing 6 Fusion and creation of new virtual machine with Windows 7, I get a message "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit". WHAT SHOULD DO?

  After purchase, installation and activation Fusion 6 with the license key, I had a library of VMS showing 2 Boot Camp partitions. It's strange that I only have 1.
  I tried to activate them but received a message that it is out of date in 2 cases. (see annex 1)

  I started a new virtual machine with a Windows 7 installation disc directly on my HD. I have provided a way to do this and followed the instructions of Fusion to the screen.

  Apparently, everything went well and after several restarts, the installation appears to be over (see annex 2) I tried to open and run the installed Windows 7. I had however a window with the following message:

  "Pending the unit.

  "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit. Please wait until the unit starts automatically, or interact with the virtual machine below. ' (see annex 3)

  Here Windows 7 seems to start but after a while with the home screen and of the Øresund finishing this window closed and open a new window called library Virtual Machine on the left showing the partitions of Bootcamp and the Virtual Machine Windows 7 x 64 and in the middle gray a representation of what is supposed to be the Windows 7 desktop. (see Exhibit 4). When I opened the settings button a window with different setting options pops up. This mark means to me that Windows is installed but the final opening isn't the case

  When you quit Vmware Fusion indeed Windows seems to be close (see part 5)

  What is going on? What has gone wrong? What should I do? I don't know how to solve the problem.

  I should f.i. remove the virtual machine from Windows 7 and is free automatically made partition on my HD as the reboot with the Windows installation disc? or y at - it another way to enter the UNIT?

  Help, please!

  Thanks in advance

  Your virtual machine is running. It is in the unit - which each windows gets its own window of Mac - and you have no application Windows running, there is no visible windows. You can start a Windows application in the start of Fusion menu in the menu bar at the top right, or turn on the Windows task bar on the view menu and start applications from there. Or use the view menu to switch to the Single mode or full-screen, which puts all of your Windows desktop in a window separate from Mac.

  You do not have two partitions to Boot Camp on your Mac, you have two virtual machines named "Boot Camp partition".

  The message about it being unable to enter the unit arrives while the merger is pending for the tools begin to run, because the tool is necessary for the unit.

• VCenter as a virtual machine with a switch of vDistributed running

  Someone at-it no contribution, experience or thoughts about vCenter running as a virtual machine on UCS/vSphere 5, where the instance of vCenter is used as the point of integration of UCSM and the VM on vCenter is running is connected to the vDistributed switch (h/l VN-link) who is Manager of UCSM and vCenter?

  It sounds risky, but is it plausible? I have to use a regular for connectivity vSwitch if I want to virtualize vCenter?   Currently, we run vCenter standalone host outside of the virtual environment, that it manages.

  My personal preference is to place the VM vNIC on a standard vSwitch vCenter. The reasoning is while is no matter what going side with the distributed switch (vmware, ucsm or N1KV). vCenter connectivity would not be affected and you would be able to solve the problem more efficiently.

  We usually put SQL on the vCenter VM as well.

  Out the standard configuration is the following, and it worked very well with zero problems.

  2 for management and vCenter VM vNIC UCS - these 2 are sent to standard vSwitch0

  2 UCS vNIC for vMotion - these 2 are transmitted in standard vSwitch1 but configure the NIC teaming/failover so that vMotion traffic remains on 1 interconnection fabric or the other.

  2 for traffic VM vNIC UCS - these 2 are transmitted to a distributed switch VMware or UCSM (VM - FEX) or N1KV.

• Run a virtual machine with a graphical interface on a host without GUI

  Hallo

  I want to install a simple Windows 7 for some tasks bit where I need Windows on my server Ubuntu 14.04. This server has no GUI (no X) and should have any.

  Already, I've installed the virtual Windows machine on my workstation to 12, so I would just copy the vmdk on my linux server and run it, maybe put something in the vmx file.

  But I do not know is that it's all means possible.

  Is it?

  Is there any player or any application for ubuntu VMware when there is no X system (on ubuntu), where I can run virtual machines with GUI inside?

  Maybe another virtualization tool, vmware not?

  I think that this exact question already somewhere, but I haven't found much question where comments lacking a GUI, but not the host.

  I need a guest-gui on a host without gui (where I have only the terminal).

  So maybe it's not possible at all, so please tell me a 'no', so I won't expect more

  Thank you to

  Frank

  EDIT: oh, this seems to be another question unanswered it is too difficult or too stupid?

  Hi Frank,.

  Now that would be stupid, having a text Installer, and then not allow the virtual machine to run. I think it should work, but you must pass the nogui option.

  Vmrun help:

  beginning

  (Supported only on teams

  Workstation.)

  Starts a virtual machine (.vmx file) or team (file .vmtm).

  The default graphical user interface option starts the machine in an interactive way,

  What is necessary to display a user interface of VMware.

  Nogui option suppresses the user interface,

  including start-up, to allow dialog box not interactive

  writing scripts.

  [gui | nogui]

  refer to the manual of vmrun: VIX API Documentation

  Edit: hmm... Now, I see that you have already tried the nogui option. You might be able to install the package libxinerama, but he could hang out in a lot of dependencies.

  FWIW, vSphere is pretty much what you describe a system not GUI to run GUI invited, so it shouldn't be a problem at all.

  Unfortunately, I don't have a host linux without X installed handy here, so can't test here without the implementation of a server without head myself.

  You can also try to run the client via the command vmware:

• Problem of migration of a virtual machine with multiple vCPUs

  When I try to migrate some of our virtual machines with vMotion, I get the following error.

  «Impossible to migrate from host a to host b: virtual machine has 4 virtual CPUs, but the host only supports 1.» The number of virtual processors can be limited by the selected guest OS for the virtual machine or the granting of licenses for the host".

  The two ESX Server are identical HP DL380 with two quad core Intel Xeon. They are both connected to the same server vCenter (2.5). They both use the same license server. And, the VM OS is set to Windows Server 2003 Enterprise (32-bit), which is responsible for 4 vCPUs (it does now after all).

  I tried moved under voltage power VM off and got the same error, so I changed the vCPU to 1 and it migrated correctly. Then, I changed it to 4 vCPUs with no problems on the new host. Only problem is, I can't stop some of the virtual machines to migrate to the new host because of the availability requirements.

  ~ Brian

  Have you tried to change the settings of your license and apply them, just in case where?  I had the weird services fails when there is a kind of latency hit the license of the ESX host server.

• Problems after resizing XP virtual machine: a Windows image not valid

  After increasing my Windows XP virtual machine, I can't run Microsoft programs.

  My system

  I am running XP as a virtual disk with Fusion 4.1.3 on a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard) with a drive of 500 GB and 4 GB of RAM.  My virtual machine from Windows XP (formatted FAT) has only 700 MB of free space, so I tried to increase its size from 32 GB to 48 GB.

  What I've done

  1. I increased the size of the HD in merger/disc settings

  2. the virtual machine does not resize automatically.  Messages to OS X Console says repeatedly that the virtual machine was no resizing applications ("' NUMA: auto size request ignored '")

  3. I then used EaseUS Partition Master in Windows XP to increase the use of the newly released hard drive space, but the extra space would never appear after reboot XP

  4. I then tried Partition Wizard, that worked.  So that resizing Partition Wizard was also moving files.

  The problem:

  When I restarted Windows, I got several error messages saying that the dll is not a valid windows image.  I couldn't run all Microsoft programs (Outlook, Excel, etc.) but can run non-Microsoft programs after clicking through many error reports.

  Fortunately, I made a copy of the virtual machine before attempting to resize, so I use it now.  But I lost 12 GB on my Mac hard drive and cannot get enough space in Windows

  Any thoughts out there so that I could get enough space?

  It is good that you made a backup, because even in the best conditions can things and sometimes lack.

  Since you had questions, go right to work, in other words, the first step to actually make the larger virtual hard drive, I have consider doing the following.

  1. ensure that you have a backup full host.  Time Machine is great for Mac OS X but not for Virtual Machines.  For the Virtual Machines, you must make a copy while closed stop, unsprung, and VMware Fusion.  Once you are sure that have everything backed up properly...

  2. use utility disk to verify disk permissions, disk check and optionally repair either or both based on audit reports.

  3. use vmware-vdiskmanager with the -r option to check the integrity of the virtual hard disk.

  4. from the guest operating system in a Windows prompt command use chkdsk /f to check and fix a problem with the Windows file system.

  5. try to resize the virtual hard disk again.

• Create a virtual machine with the physical RAM total?

  I want to virtualize ESXi 4 on my MacBook Pro. However, I have 2 GB of RAM and ESXi 4 requires a minimum of 2 GB.

  I posted in the community of ESXi (is it possible to virtualize ESXi 4 with less than 2 GB of RAM?) and there is a solution for using ESXi with less RAM, but the problem is that I first need to run the installation with 2 GB.

  Basically, I tried to create a virtual machine with 2 GB, but the maximum I can use is 1840MB. Is it something that I do with Fusion to increase this limit? I understand that I am under a host operating system and requiring too little RAM, but just to get through the ESXi installation isn't it possible to push the VM of RAM to 2 GB and the host what OS increase the pagefile to deal with the lack of RAM?

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Thank you

  You may be able to edit the .vmx file and change the memsize option either 2048 or more. The merger is able to start a virtual machine with more memory that the host, just UI prevents common users to exceed the limits of security in general.

  I'm not quite sure what would happen if the VM actually tries to use all of the memory. If all goes well, it will be just talk and run slowly. Of course, the worst case are that it crashes.

• VCenter are running in a virtual machine: now, it is a good idea?

  This article:

  http://searchvirtualdatacentre.TechTarget.co.UK/news/column/0, 294698, sid203_gci1512874, 00.html?

  says it is recommended.  He will then raise a problem with the Update Manager.  I do not use the Update Manager, so I'm interested to know if anyone can confirm and tell me what document of VMware's vCenter recommended to run on the virtual machine as a 'best practice '.

  I'm more ready to go this way than before, but I'm always cautious when I consider the complexity of chess.

  If host ESX running vCenter server completely failed, then, Yes, vCenter will re-start on another host.

  But there are opportunities far more problems than that.  What happens if the data store becomes unavailable?  What happens if the ESX host is suspended from a problem that connects the CPU?

  Be extremely careful, I can not far because virutalizing vCenter means basically that it have more complexity in the layers beneath him and therefore more opportunities for the failure of the recovery are introduced.

  I know vCenter running on material means that layer may still fail, but we're watching all of our physical servers that run our ESX host.

  Put a hypervisor on them prevents us from having to deal with the problems of disk/network/fiber channel / local memory.

  the search for VMware, I found a doc who wrote in 2009, don't know if it's always the last Gospel.  I will raise a support call to ask VMware, but I wanted to first see if you can give me a link to the answer.

  http://communities.VMware.com/docs/doc-11197

  Interesting that this doc on the VMware site binds effectively to that on the techtarget site.  That's fine, but I want VMware reference that mentions the techtarget article.

  Congratulations in advance for your time and your help.

  Points of generous and enthusiastic congratulations to all those who could be the key here.

  see you soon,

  The design of vSphere course has this as the best exercise of the profession - the reasons have already been identified. From VMware, it's a virtual vCenter server has high levels of resilience and redundancy, you can not necessarily with a physical server or having to pay a significant premium to achieve, that is to say MS clustering.

  It also gives you the possibility of increasing resources - CPU and ram discs if you need to. With the help of a physical server you reaches the limits of physical capacity.

  If it works as aVM you use common sense - if you have one or two hosts then risks may outway the benefits, that is a failure of a single host leaves Infrastructure depend on the remaining host. If you have 10 hosts and a resilient storage solution then why not.

  There is quite a response to the host to vcenter environment - person has never shot to run on a physical server and can say the same for virtual.

• How to configure HA when vCenter is running as a virtual machine in one of the army?

  To install HA with VMware EVC, guests must be first maintenance mode before moving into the HA cluster. The problem is, vCenter runs as a virtual machine inside one of these hosts. If I stop vCenter downwards so that the host in maintenance mode, how do I setup with VMware EVC HA without using vCenter?

  If you do not feature vMotion, right down your vCenter VM and you unsubscribe eg. ESX1 can record for example. ESX2 then turn back on. ESX1 maintenance mode and then back ESX1 on your cluster file and exit once done maintenance mode. It goes the same for ESX2 and the rest of the ESX host.

• Cloning a virtual machine with 2 hard drives!

  Hi all!

  I ran into a very annoying problem. I'm trying to Migrate/convert virtual machines to a host in the CR. Each virtual machine has 2 hard drives which are located on 2 different data stores. When I try to migrate or to clone virtual machines from the host on my Cluster I get an 'error of operation period.

  After scratching my head for a while, I discovered why. The virtual machine have 2 hard drives on 2 different data stores. Both flat.vmdk files are called eponymous because they are on different data warehouses (TTDC001.vmdk). I created a VM test on the cluster with 2 hard drives and flat.vmdk flies are named TTDC001.vmdk and TTDC001_1.vmdk.

  So my conclusion as to why I get "Opération Timeout Error" is that VC trying Migrate/Clone to the virtual machine but is mistake because his attempts to migrate/Clone 2 hard files with the same name!

  Can someone give me some pointers as to how I can get around this? I am currently copy the file hard 2nd to my deskop from the data store and rename it then copy him on the new cluster data store to see if it works as you cannot rename the file hard in the data store. It just seems long way round to migrate virtual machines with 2 hard drives, and I don't even know if it works!

  Please help!  :|

  Andy of the evening,

  I do it well. Thank you for asking.

  So if I'm reading correctly it seems that you are trying to clone a virtual machine from a stand-alone host to a host that is part of a VMware Cluster. When you do this you get a network midway through the copy error. Is this correct?

  Can you confirm how fast is connected to the Service Console between the two servers? For this kind of work I would recommend making them run at 1000/full, assuming you're not already. Could you also post the entire message that you get when the clone fails.

  Kind regards

• Taking image image redhat physical machine running on the virtual machine 1 core.

  Hello

  I am woundering no matter I would get in trouble if I toke a physical machine linux image used vmware converter to make a picture of him and installed on a virtual machine with a processor?

  I'm guessing that this might cause pilot or BONE problems.

  Someone at - it experience with this?

  Thank you

  Dak.

  There will be no real problem. Linux can work on 1core CPU even with SMP kernel installed perfectly. But it runs a bit slower due to additional unnecessary code in the kernel for synchronize processors.

  The only real problem is that you will have 1 kernel instead of able 4 times less treatment and 4.

• XEN running inside a virtual machine under ESX (i) 3.5?

  Hello world

  I'm still pretty new mV, so please bear with me if I ask is stupid. I have already searched the web, but I couldn't really find an answer to this:

  Let's say we have a VM-certified (for example from Dell) server running ESX 3.5 or ESXi 3.5. I understand that the following would be a typical scenario:

  -ESX 3.5

  -VM 1: Windows Server 2008

  -VM 2: Windows Server 2003

  -VM 3: Debian 4.0 (unofficially supported?)

  -Virtual MACHINE 4: Redhat Enterprise Linux 4

  Could I now install XEN in Debian of VMS 3 making 3 Xen's Dom0 of VM?

  So what I want is this:

  -ESX 3.5

  -VM 1: Windows Server 2008

  -VM 2: Windows Server 2003

  -VM 3: Debian 4.0 with XEN (= Dom0)

  -DomU 1: Debian 4.0

  -DomU 2: Debian 4.0

  -DomU 3: Debian 5.0

  -DomU 4: Debian 3.1

  -DomU 5: supported an another Linux system by XEN

  -Virtual MACHINE 4: Redhat Enterprise Linux 4

  Is this possible? If so, that requires any special parameters on the side of the virtual computer, Debian or Xen?

  Or, and this is what I hope, is the ESX service an fully transparent layer between whats running in the virtual machine (for example. Debian with XEN) and the actual hardware.

  In other words: is the installation of Debian in VM3 "knows" that he is not actually run directly on the hardware?

  Thank you very much in advance for any answers or advice in the right direction!

  Tom

  Depends on the mode of Xen.  If Xen tries to use the VT / SVM instructions, it will not work because these instructions are not virtualized.  If Xen is running a guest paravirtualise it could work - anyone I know has ever attempted.  (So, "no".)  If this does not work, we would like to hear about it.

  Re: Why Debian is not a client supported... it's a problem of bandwidth QA, invited taken in charge to be tested carefully so the number of guests that can be supported is limited.  Debian runs almost certainly - it is very similar to Ubuntu, which is supported - but VMware not QA, if we do not pretend that support.
