Problem transfer VM from one host to another, different VCenter Server ESXi

Hello everyone.  I'm new on communities, please excuse my lack of experience of VMWare.  I have a problem with the migration of computers and I hope someone here can help you.

We have two independent groups in my building that each have their own installer of VMWare.  They each at least two hosts ESXi, VCenter Server, san, etc.  They are in separate laboratories on separate subnets.  I need to get a system in place where some images migrated in one laboratory to another on a regular basis, but I'm running into obstacles.

My first attempt was a copy of the right lane.  Lift the file in my store of data takes about 5 hours, and the final result is a vmdk file is not set up.  I don't know why.  I created a new VM the custom option usign and attempted to add an existing hard drive.  When I accessed this file in my data store, there is no evidence, even if a 50 GB file is really there. I also tried to install this vmdk as a second hard drive to an existing image file, and I end up with the same result.  The Add Hardware Wizard does not have the file as an option.

My second attempt was to have a group to create a clone of the server and let it off.  Then, I tried to run an import of a clone of one VCenter Server installation to another.  This leads to an error that it was 'Impossible to determine the operating system called'.

I also tried to import the clone in an installation of SCVMM MS I'm hungry.  That no longer works.

We don't have a VMotion. We have Essentials more licenses.  A group is running ESXi 4.0 hosts and the other is running ESXi 4.1 hosts.  What is the best way to get an image from one group to another?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Joe

You can always use tools such as Veeam Backup and replication, it will take 5 hours for the first complete copy maybe, but then it's just modified pieces which are transferred.

If this post was useful/solved your problem, please mark the points of wire and price as seem you. Thank you!

  • Move a virtual machine from one host to another without vCenter Server

    Hi all

    Something's been recently who raised the question on moving a virtual machine between hosts without vCenter.  I am running vSphere manage 3 blades in a c3000.  I have a shared storage iSCSI blade which all the blades connect to.  All of my virtual machines are in the same data store on the shared storage.  I'm also under vCenter Server as a virtual machine on one of the blades.  The blade that hosts the vCenter Server VM dead recently. What I was hoping to do is use vSphere Client to connect directly to one of the other blades and hover over the vCenter Server VM to one of the blades of the good, but I can't find a way to do this.  Using the browser of data store and see all of the virtual machine on the store of data without problem, but I see no way to migrate the virtual machine without vCenter server.  In the end, the blade has only had a problem of memory I corrected and managed to raise the blade but I now think of the future.  I use only Essentials, so I don't have access to vMotion and Storage vMotion.  I know that running vCenter Server is supported by Vmware, but I wonder if it's the best practices.

    Any thoughts?

    Hi, I assume that you get this error because the machine is running, try to connect directly to the host and do the same with an engine off the machine.

  • Migrate the virtual machine for Exchange 2010 from one host to another

    Dear members,

    Please let know us if the migration of a virtual machine for Exchange 2010 is supported to an Esxi host to another, the Esxi version is 5.0.

    There are unique Exchange environment with the role of hub, CAS and mailbox on the same virtual server. We have a maintenance window and we think moving exchange virtual machine from one host to another, but before that I need to be sure if it's supported my MS and do not want to have problems after, because I have also gotten to know here in the forums this snapshot for Exchange 2010 is not supported by Ms.

    Please notify.

    Kind regards

    I'm not aware of any limitations with VMS Exchange migration. Anyway, you can consider running the migration during the low workload.

  • How to move virtual machines from one host to another without full VI and vMotion?

    Hello

    could you help me with a question?

    I have two installed hosts with ESXi 3.5 U5, which are connected to the shared iSCSI (Openfiler) - VMs storage are installed on the storage disk. My requirement is to have a cheap solution of DR - in case of failure of a host, I need to move and start VM on the host of work. How to achieve without going through VMware Infrastructure 3.5 and vMotion?

    I found this article:

    http://www.virtualizetips.com/2010/04/how-to-move-a-VM-without-vCenter-or-storage-VMotion/

    but RCLI needs Infrastructure of VMware ESXi does not have default CLI So, how to move VMs between hosts (of course I mean "cold" move) without byuing any additonal VMware SW? It is generally possible in my situation?

    Thank you.

    If the virtual machines are running in shared storage (two guests see the same storage iSCSI or NFS) then it's simple. If a host goes down, then look for the data store on the ESXi host work. Navigate through folders for each virtual machine, right-click on the VMX file and add to the inventory. You will then be able to turn on the virtual machine.

    To move a virtual machine from one host to another, as long as both hosts had the same processors, you can pause the VM on the single host, browse and add the virtual machine to the inventory on the second break host and the United Nations.

    If the virtual machines are on local storage, but the two hosts are connected to the same shared storage, clone virtual machines on a daily basis from local storage to shared storage. Use something like ghettoVCB http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8760 make the clone. In the case of a server failure, you will be able to browse the data store, add to the inventory on the shared storage and switch the cloned machine.

  • How to move templates of virtual machines from one host to another, if the partners host is offline

    Hi people,

    I knew that I need to convert a virtual computer model to a VM to move from one host to another, but that when the host, that the model is associated with, is offline / broken? Is it possible to make it work again on the vsphere client or only via the command-line interface of cmd and save the model with the host?

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards

    Bjoern

    You can try this...

    If you have another ESX host to add the data store to which the template is stored.

    After that browse the data store and go to the directory of the model. Select the model VM file and add it to the inventory and select the host on which you want to add the template... After you have added the host convert VM...

    "Fix a corrupted user profile.

    Try this method.

    To copy files to the new user profile

    After creating the profile, you can copy the files from the existing profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account that you created.

    1. Log on as a user other than the new user that you created or the user that you want to copy the files.

    2. Open Documents by clicking on the button start , and then clicking Documents.

    3. Click on the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.

      If you don't see the Tools menu, press ALT.

    4. Click the view tab, click Show files and folders, protected the clear theHide operating system files check box, and then click OK.

    5. Find the C:\Users\Old_Username folder, where C is the drive that Windows is installed, and where ancien_nom_utilisateur represents the name of the profile you want to copy the files to.

    6. Select all the files and folders in this folder, except the following files:

      • Ntuser.dat

      • Ntuser.dat.log

      • Ntuser.ini

    7. Click the Edit menu and then click on copy.

      If you don't see the Edit menu, press ALT.

    8. Look for the C:\Users\New_Username folder, where C represents the drive Windows is installed, and New_Username is the name of the new user profile you created.

    9. Click the Edit menu and then click on paste.

      If you don't see the Edit menu, press ALT.

    10. Sign out and then sign back in as a new user.

      If you have messages in e-mail, such as Windows Mail, you must import your e-mail messages and addresses to the new user profile before you delete the old profile. If everything is working properly, you can delete the old profile.

    If the steps above don't fix the problem, you should contact your provider of customer support for assistance.

  • Help: How to transfer data from one form to another form form

    Hello:

    I was wondering how / if it is possible to transfer data from form from one form to another form. I create a flow of forms, which are as follows: form of Incident report-> form of risk analysis-> error-> report form decision support survey Standard-> report form of risk control-> form of mitigation-> etc... You get the gist. It would be very time-consuming to constantly transfer the standard who, what, when, where and how from one form to the other. I was wondering how do? I have looked around on the net and this forum and couldn't find a tutorial or a guide? Is this possible with Adobe forms?

    I use a XML schema for the form to preload a list of employees and the standard list information and then publish the form to submit in PDF format for opening and tracking form mobile device. I notice that I can export the data in a form that is distributed in XML but I can't import in a distributed form. I'm a newb with code, but may contain a little of my own.

    An example of how to achieve this with a field name or something would be greatly appreciated! If you need anything, or a copy of the forms let me know!

    Thank you kindly,

    Al

    Hi Al,.

    I have here an example where the data in a single form are 'communicated' to other forms. Please note that there are specific script in each of the forms. It's a work in progress and one day I'll come back make a more polished example: http://assure.ly/qQivbm.

    See also John Brinkman's blog for a different approach: http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2010/07/shared_data_in_packages_part_1.html and http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2010/07/shared_data_in_packages_part_2.html.

  • Transfer of virtual machine from one host to another extremely slow

    So, I'm going through a lot of posts on this topic, and I have not found a solution for this. We have a Vsphere 5.5 server that runs our backup server for our customers. I have a stocked vmdk thickness 8 TB. We recently bought a new server which we have installed the 6.0 vshphere on. I joined the two hosts to vcenter server. I went to a cold virtual machine migration and data from the old host to the new host. The problem is that I only get a maximum of 15 Mbps but with an average of 10. I pass a 1 Gbps with cables CAT 6A.vcenter-transfer.JPG

    The disks are connected to a controller that has an option of memory cache write-back? Without write cache, controllers usually work in write mode and hollow which would probably explain the low flow, you see.
