Problems of space on virtual Center

Hello

I run virtual center virtually and am under very low disk space on the C drive of the server.  I tried to delete the offending, but they are updated Microsoft, so I do not wish to delete these.

I think that my best way forward is to V2V using vmware converter and then distributed a larger disk on drive c: during the conversion process.

Any reflection on the best way forward, if my memory servers me I can't add a measure to an OS disk (c :). Please let me know if I'm wrong.

Thank you very much

Russell

You can resize the systempartition using gparted or any other method (search the Forum). This will require a reboot but will meet your needs.

  • Problems with virtual center/vsphere client

    Hello

    We use Vsphere client 4.0.0 build 208111 with Virtual Center Server version and same build.

    I have 2 problems:

    1. I have a virtual machine with only one disc that is shown on 2 different data stores. If I look through the models and virtual computers, I see only 1 vm. If I look through the data warehouse screen, I see it in the store data-002 and 003-store data. If I go to the settings of the virtual machine on the datastore-002 and check the disk, I see the path in the store of data-003.

    How can I fix?

    2. I turned on a windows 2003 vm. I couldn't close it via customer vpshere because the status of VM Tools showed not running. When I logged in the system, he showed OK and then I could close by the customer.

    Do I always login for virtual machine tools to perform?

    Thank you

    Haim defending

    This virtual machine has a CD / ISO mounted?  What happens if you click edit setting on the virtual machine, that says the file of the disk?

    Also, go to the service console and watching a .vmx file, it should say something like

    scsi0:1.fileName = "servername.vmdk"
    

    Then look at the hard, it should point to something like

     VMFS "servername-flat.vmdk"

  • Problems of Virtual Center update

    Hello

    I'm trying to update my 2.5 Update virtual Center 2-day 6 and downloaded the zip on the VMWARE site.  When I run through the upgrade, everything seems fine and I click on install, but shortly after, I get:

    Windows Installer - another version of this product is already installed.  The installation of this version cannot continue.  To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove programs from the control panel.

    Is it not possible to upgrade on top?  You really have to uninstall the old version of VCenter to update to the current iteration?  This is my first Virtual Center upgrade.  Or is that what I downloaded the wrong package?  And is there a smaller package to use for update?

    Kind regards

    Darren

    Another version of this product is already installed. The installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove programs from the control panel.

    Is it not possible to upgrade on top?

    Apparently not... It does not give an error, he specifically told you TO remove it all first.  vCenter 4.0 performs the removal of previous versions for you.

    And just info there is NOT such a thing as an 'upgrade' EVERY install, Windows, programs, EVERYTHING a re - INSTALLS the product, some may simply automate the removal of the software if you don't have to do, but NO Windows "updates" package the existing installation, they ALWAYS remove the oldest elements, then replaced with the most recent.

  • Problems with VMware virtual Center 2.5.0 and ESX 3.5.0 123630

    I lost connection to my SAN over the weekend and restarted my entire stack. Everything came to life, except a host server ESX is grayed out and shows disconnected my cluster of Virtual Center. If I right click on the host, everything is gray except 'Add alarm, add Permission, summary report and Performance report'.  I was able to connect directly to the host and was able to start the VM on the host machines, but my question is how to run in my cluster Virtual Center? I have no option to remove or connect.

  • Best way to extend the drive C on Virtual Center VM - ESX 3.5.0 213352

    I am trying to increase the C drive 10 GB to 15 GB on our VM virtual Center. Is this VM on an ESX 3.5.0 host 213352. I went to change the settings on the machine virtual and changed the drive C 10-> 15 GB vmdk. No problem. I then connected to the virtual computer and went Mgmt of Windows disk that shows the C drive in NTFS base 10 GB with a 4.99 GB unallocated volume space beside him. I then went to Diskpart and entered the command line and selected the C volume range. I received the following error message "the volume you have selected cannot be extended. BTW - the page file is located on drive E and not on the C drive. This virtual machine has C and E only.

    I used the VM converter in the past, but it will not work in this case because the VM I want to choose to expand the C drive is the virtual Center VM. Any ideas on why diskpart will not work? Other solutions? Thank you!

    You can also use extpart, allowing that you extend without interruption

    .. .or the old way of fashion with a helper VM

  • vFoglight 6.5 & multiple instances of Virtual Center

    Hi all

    Can someone help me to get rid of a version of Virtual Center vFoglight 6.5?  We have two entries there are several virtual machines, data warehouses, etc...  We recently had to re - build vCenter and I think that's when it started.

    Thank you.

    I think this is covered by this solution, just be careful because you can not revive a deleted object.

    Note that in the most recent versions of Foglight, data management is under management server | Servers | Data instead of Foglight management | Servers | Data management.

  • Virtual Center service

    After the reboot, virtual center service does not start on its own. I don't face any problem while I start it manually. How to fix this?

    Hello

    To resolve this problem, add a dependency to the VirtualCenter service so that it starts only after the necessary services have started.

    To create a service dependency:

    1. Click Start > run, type services.msc and press ENTER.

    2. Find all the services that vCenter Server requires. For example, SQLEXP_VIM, ADAM_VCMSDS or ADAM_VMwareVCMSDS.

      Note: the Service names are different from SQL Express and the full SQL implementations. For example, the name of the SQL Express service is SQLEXP_VIM and in complete SQL implementations, it is MSSQLSERVER.

    3. Open the properties of the service and note the name of the service. For example, MSSQL$ SQLEXP_VIM.

    4. Click Start > run, type regedit, and then click OK. The window of the Registry Editor opens.

    5. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vpxd.

    6. Double-click the DependOnService key and add the Service name by using the name identified in step 4.

    7. Close the Registry Editor window.

    8. In the Services window, open the properties of the service to the service identified in step 3.
    9. On the Dependencies tab, make sure that the VMware VirtualCenter service is registered as a function of the service.
    10. Repeat steps 3-9 for all services that requires VirtualCenter.

    If you are running Windows 2008 you can set the VMware VirtualCenter Server service to automatic startup (delayed) following type:

    1. Click Start > run, type services.msc, and then click OK.

    2. Right-click on the VMware VirtualCenter Server service, and then click Properties.

    3. Change the automatic startup type Automatic (delay).

  • Considerations of Design for the U1 Virtual Center 6.0

My question / concerns are I will be at a later date connect you to windows or virtual VCSA in this HA PSC environment?

  • Virtual Center upgrade to 5.0 U1 4.1 on the new machine

    Hello

    I don't see that this scenario in the upgrade documentation so wanted to clarify.

    Have currently Windows 2008 R2 server running Virtual Center 4.1 U1 and database resides on separate SQL 2008 Server.  Virtual Center Server has been improved 3 times now so eager to make a new update for Virtual Center 5.0 on a new server by keeping the existing database.  The data migration tool cannot be used because it is only for the migration of versions prior to version 4.1 U1.

    I'll do the following:

    Install a new server with new name/ip.

    Install Virtual Center 5.0 and create the DNS pointing to the existing SQL 4.1 database.

    -At this point is it ask me to upgrade the database?

    I have problems in doing this?  Will all of my existing hosts show as offline and must be reconnected and updated Virtual Center new server SSL certificates?

    Thanks in advance.

    Tony

    I'll do the following:

    Install a new server with new name/ip.

    Install Virtual Center 5.0 and create the DNS pointing to the existing SQL 4.1 database.

    -At this point is it ask me to upgrade the database?

    Yes, there will be an upgrade of the DB schema, so make sure you have a good backup. Make sure that you set up the system DSN from 64 bits to the correct address and test your connection to the DB before upgrading.  Also, make sure you have dbo on the VCDB and MSDB

    I have problems in doing this?  Will all of my existing hosts show as offline and must be reconnected and updated Virtual Center new server SSL certificates?

    If you change the host name and IP, your hosts may be in offline / not responding.  If you do a right click on it and "connect", they should return to the inventory very well.  (you may be prompted for credentials to the root)
