• REALLY stupid question about virtual machines and disks of cancellations.

  I'm a bit hesitant to ask this question because it might make me look stupid, but...

  When I'm done using Virtual PC and a virtual machine running Windows XP Pro with Vista 64 Home Premium because the host os, often I did not any significant changes to the hard disk of the virtual machine.

  What I save gets saved to a network share on my server for files and printing from Win98 and saved on a flash drive.

  Assuming that I do no configuration changes or anything else I want to keep, is there a reason barely stopping properly when I 'cancellations discs' enabled?

  Any reason, I can not save time by pressing the 'X' button and choose 'disable and remove changes '?

  I am aware of patches, but took me to inform me of the patches, and I can get patches when it's convenient for me and I always validate changes when I install the patches. I'm not using it for anything other than my classes of the school of the evening for the time being, so it is not much of a value of protection on the virtual machine, and I used to write papers on the host operating system. I just use the virtual machine to play with the admin tools in an environment where I can easily fix it a massive screw-up without spending hours to reinstall Windows.

  Hey SlickRCBD,.

  Not a stupid question at all! :)

  It's very well hit the X when you have activated the disks of cancellations. And corruption or problems with the active virtual machine will be resolved when using the drive to cancel it.

• Question about virtual disk

  I have a qustion about virtual disks

  I assigned 5 GB on a virtual disk. Then I realized that I need more space, so I changed to 20 GB.

  When I have energised the VM, it always complained not enough space. Even if I 'clearpart-set' in the startup script.
  I ended up remove the virtual disk and create a new one to solve the problem.

  "It seems that this partition table/information is always on the disc and kickstart' cleartpart all ' did not clean.

  How to solve the problem? instead of creating a new virtual disk?

  Thank you!

• Question about virtual cores

  Sorry if this has been asked somewhere else.  I tried to find the answer but am still confused.

  If I have a virtual host 24 hearts with 3 under VMs.

  I guess the best way to ask my question by describing two hypothetical scenarios.

  Scenario 1: I assign 1 virtual kernel for each machine.

  Scenario 2: I assign 8 Virtual cores for each machine.

  Each VM will have more CPU power in scenario 2?   Now, my assumption is that each virtual machine will be allocated 33% of the CPU in both scenarios, but I fear that scenario #1 will leave a lot of unused CPU power.

  Thank you.

  If I understand correctly, in other words, the amount of GHz... MHz... etc available to VMS is based on the value of the shares, so, based on your two scenarios, each will have 33 percent of the shares. Performance of virtual machines depends on how applications behave in MP. VMs CPU scheduling also changes with the number of vCPUs configured.

  Testing is the best way to answer this question.

• Where VMWARE Workstation 11 stores no information about Virtual Machines open

  When you 'open' a virtual machine in VMWARE Workstation 11, then close VMWARE and open again, it remembers what virtual machines have been opened.  Where it does not store this information?

  After a lot of Googling, I found the answer I was looking for.

  The UNK file is located in

  %AppData%\vmware\preferences.ini

  However, the information of the open machine no longer in the UNK file.  It is now located at

• Question about virtual private networks on 5510

  Hello

  I have a client who is migrating to a Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator to an ASA 5510 for VPN connections.

  All users connect to a group name currently on the 3000, which has a space in it.  On the ASA when I'm doing this am the ASA accepts only a group without spaces in there name.  Is there a solution that will allow us to use spaces in the name of the Group on the SAA?

  Can I get some advice on why it is not possible to have a space in the name of the Group?  Why Cisco have removed this feature?

  Thank you

• vcenter feature will work properly if my virtual machine to vcenter fail?

  Hello

  1 if my vcenter server machine was stopped or failed and in this time if my esxi host does not HA will or not?

  2 - if a month my judgment of the vcenter server or not will work work vcenter features such as HA and drs and...?

  Best regards

  Yes, if vCenter descends from VMware HA master node will take care to restart virtual machines from the host failed to other hosts that are running.

  DRS will not work if the vCenter server is not available.

  If you keep your vCenter down for a month, then that certainly creates questions about virtual infrastructure management.

  See this URL for the list of features that works and that will not work if vCenter isn't available.

• Virtual Center stops all the virtual machines in a cluster HA

  Hello.

  I have a question about vCenter machine. We have deployed

  VMware ESX 4.0 HA cluster on Server Blade IBM 3. VCenter machine resides

  on a virtual machine on the same cluster. When we tried to recharge a physical switch (in the)

  IBM Blade Center), all our virtual machines on the cluster have been turned off automatically.

  If the vCenter VM is turned off, then everything is fine - the reloading of the

  Switch is not turning off the virtual machines (and the net is ok - start machines

  work through another switch in IBM bladecenter). If the machine vCenter

  powers (manually), all the other machines, which have been put off, are powered

  on too (automatically, of course, with the help of the machine of vCenter). How

  is that what I can adjust the machine vCenter, so it could not power power machines by

  itself automatically?

  ESX 4.0 (162856)

  Hello

  Right-click in your cluster, change the settings. Select 'Virtual Machine Options' under 'Vmware HA' and choose the host response of insulation desired for the entire cluster or individual VM. If you do not have network connections redundant between your ESX machines, you probably want the virtual machine for when you need to do maintenance or your network switch died. You should probably also disable HA while doing maintenance. You should consider to build network redundancy in the case of a production environment.

  I hope that helps!

• Several virtual machines being locked

  Using View 4 here and every day when I come in, there is at least one user who cannot access their VM, 'the source of funds attributed is not available... ". ».

  Our display configuration is currently just a standalone ESX 4 box that manages these clients to view. We have other clients to view a cluster and we have not seen this issue, but the customers on the cluster are not used as often as the autonomous zone.

  So, again, it is the classic question of "virtual machine is locked.

  Here's what I've done so far:

  1 open the virtual machine in the vSphere client: "cannot connect to the mks: vmx connection contact has failed."

  2 vmware-cmd - s unregister

  -tired saving in vSphere once again, without love, the same error...

  12 gave up, restarted the ESX box, fixedit!

  -another machine but now is to show the same problems... Sigh...

  Any help/advice would be great...

  You don't mention this patch you enjoy, but it sounds like the question that we knew before loading the latest patches for ESX.

  Make sure that you have patched your ESX servers for March 2010 cumulative hotfix:

• Question about the size of my Virtual Machine

  I'm on Fusion 3.1 (and Windows XP in Fusion on a MacBookPro Leopard). I put my Windows Virtual Machine to be 40 GB size but I just ran OmniDiskSweeper and it shows that the virtual machine takes 53 GB. I see the same size in the Finder.

  Two questions: first, how is it possible for the virtual machine to limit growth, I gave him? Second, is there a way for me to downsize (safely). I did not quite in the virtual machine (mainly my installation of Windows) and a handful of programs so it's weird that she's so big.

  I have disabled Auto-protect.

  I have two snapshots, one of when I first set up the virtual machine and one of very recently. I once had a bunch of other photos but I deleted them. I mention this because I read in another thread that "orphan" instant can hang out somewhere but I don't know where to look to see if this is the reason for the growth of my virtual machine.

  Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

  One thing I didn't get your last answer: if snapshots are not backup, and the creation of a snapshot causes the basic disk that you want to stop growing, which are good for snapshots? Or in other words, your response, it looks like I should stop creating snapshots, Yes?

  In which case I should rely only on periodically manually save the virtual machine by copying in the Finder on an external drive?

  What I said was "Snapshots are not backups in the traditional sense of the word and should not be relied upon as such either." However, using clichés absolutely has merit and value but how to use them effectively and efficiently seems to escape most of the users.  As a general rule, I treat a not different Virtual Machine and a physical Machine, then when it come to back up the user data and the ability to quickly restore the entire construction as well as user data.  I use snapshots mainly for short periods of time, and then either delete them when I don't want to lose changes made along the way, or if I go back to a previous snapshot.  For example, I can run on a given snapshot and say a single snapshot for a week and if all was well I'll delete it and take another or if I need to do something that could end up with bad results I'll take a snapshot to do what I do and if I have a problem just go back to the previous snapshot or the basic disk as appropriate.  The trick is user data constantly backed up out of the Virtual Machine itself, as well as at some point in time I never have to worry about the State of and reason for any data or instant and what action I might have to or want to take.

  There are many other cases workers scenarios about how/when to use snapshots and it was just a bit of food for thought because I don't have time now to get deeper into it but the snapshots are a good thing to use as and when necessary, but do not count on them to replace the traditional methods/methodologies for backup/recovery of data user or any backup/restore system but use then as a another tool in the digital Toolbox.

• Question about snapshots and virtual machines

  Hi all

  I have a small question about snapshots. I use VMware for about 6 months and I read about snapshots and how they work but still have a question to make sure that I understand how it works and it will work the way I think it works.

  I have a Windows 2003 server, which is a virtual machine. I have an application that uses MSDE database. I want to upgrade the database to MS SQL 2005, but to do this I need to back up the MSDE database, uninstall MSDE, and then install SQL 2005 and move the SQL database. This happens on the same VM.

  What I was thinking if I well Snapshots correctly is to snap turned the virtual machine before doing anything. Then do my upgrade steps and see if everything works. If its all messed up so I should be able to return to my shot and everything should be the way he had. What is the good? One of the main reasons I moved the server VM was because of this upgrade.

  After reading the documentation for the snapshots, it's how I undestood it. Pretty much any change could be reversed with snapshots. I wish just they had put in a few examples in the PDF file. Also it would be the same for all type of grades of the OS? Could I snapshot a Windows 2000 Server, and then "in the upgrade of the square" to Windows 2003? I've cloned a VM to do this but was curious about whether snapshots would be just as easy.

  Thanks for your help.

  Exactly the same thing for the upgrades of the OS.

  Perhaps the most important thing with the snapshots is to keep an eye on them and don't let them sit too long or become too big.  You have described the use cases are very good uses for snapshots.  Just make sure you have a solid plan with a schedule set, so that you can come back or validate changes before the snapshot becomes too large.

  Good luck!

• Question about the volume on several virtual machines sharing

  Hey!

  Try to use vmkfstools on Vi remote CLI, but he says that he is not recognized as an internal or external command... Is there an easy way to share data between several virtual machines? If so, how? Also if we are implementing raid 5 are we building our vitrual (windows 2008 Server) with the typical c: or d: drives? That is to say. You put the Windows Server 2008 on a separate virtual C: drive and data on a disk separate from virtual D:? Or is it no more? What about the Windows swap files? Must create us virtual drives, JUST for page files? Sorry I know this is a lot, but any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you!

  1. is there an easy way to share data between several

  virtual machines? If so, how? A CIFSor NFS share would be preferable. Since I got you guess the VMS are mainly Windows you want to go with a CIFS share. You can run a virtual NAS appliance  (http://www.openfiler.com/community/download/)

  Also if we are implementing raid 5 are we building

  our vitrual Server (windows server 2008) with the typical c: or d: drives?

  That is to say. You put the Windows Server 2008 on a separate virtual C: drive

  and the data on a virtual disk from D:? Or does not everything

  more? Yes design you virtual as your physical systems i.e. separate Boot/system information application. just build you VMs how you would with physical systems (especially true of SQL or Exchange).

  What about the Windows swap files? We create virtual drives

  Yet, ONLY for page files? Never did it for physical so no systems

• Question about the location of a host of virtual machines

  I work on temporarily to change the behavior of the DRS for a particular VM (in VI Perl), but my question is more general research of the root 'to host' for a particular virtual machine.

  The installation of the infrastructure program:

  + Folder1

  - + Cluster1

  -

  ---

  + Esx1

  -

  ---

  + VMs

  -

  ---

  + Esx2

  -

  ---

  + VMs

  .. .etc

  There are several clusters on different servers in this configuration.

  In order to manage the DRS by VM, I find the cluster that hosts the virtual machine.  The $vm_view - & gt; parent returns one 'value' (other than the name of folder) folder.  It seems that the only way to match the virtual machine to the cluster of accommodation is to do a brute force search, open multiple views and retrieve the values of each until I have a match, and then looking through each cluster in the corresponding folder to find the one that contains the virtual machine.

  Am I wrong?  It is an ugly and ineffective way to find the host for a virtual machine.  If I am not mistaken, are there plans for the addition of the hierarchy of the path to the view of the VM?

  A $view - & gt; config - & gt; value of path containing something like: file - & gt; Cluster - & gt; ESX Server - & gt; VM would be useful.  In addition, a function which maps values of resources to names of resources would be very helpful (with a code depend on a 'value' of the 'field-c125"and any other code that depends on a 'name' of"Cluster1"creates a lot of extra work).

  Thank you

  -David

  You can determine the Cluster that host a virtual machine by browsing through the ResourcePool of the virtual machine. Owner of the ResourcePool is the ClusterComputeResource who manages the virtual machine.

  $vm_view-> resourcePool->owner

  Also, to get the HostSystem that contains the Virtual Machine, you can follow the path

  $vm_view-> run-> home

  Regarding your suggestion to have a predefined path to access a managed entities, we have after explanation.  There are different paths through which you can access to the different managed

  entities of your inventory according to its hierarchy. Virtual Infrastructure gives you the flexibility to design your inventory. You can add a folder or host or a Cluster directly to your data center.

  Then it still allows a folder to have three objects as its child entity. If the path for any entity depends on the structure of your inventory. If a path can be set.

  All managed objects are uniquely identified managed objects ID. Name can be dupilcate for few entities in a data center, you can have two Resourcepools with the same name in different groups. Similarly, you can even named so that each entity is mapped using an object ID, and not a property 'name '.

• Questions about the allocation of multiple NETWORK cards in a machine virtual Windows XP Machine HOST/NAT or bridged?

  Hi all

  That is the situation. We have a Machine physics WindowsXP with 5 CARDS, all with static IP. Only be connected to the internal network without physical Internet connection is used.

  Map NETWORK 1 has a 10.34.78.241/255.255.255.0 IP Gateway 10.34.78.2

  Map NETWORK 2 has an IP 192.168.22.242/255.255.255.0

  Map NETWORK 3 has a 192.168.100.241/255.255.255.0 IP

  Map NETWORK 4 has an IP 172.27.254.240/255.255.0.0

  5 NIC has an IP 192.168.242.10/255.255.255.252

  I used VMWare Converter Standalone to do a P2V PC, which works well with the latest version of VMWare Workstation. All were brought to the course successfully. The virtual machine has 5 Networksas by the XP Machine of origin.

  I built a Win7 Machine with 5 physical NETWORK interface cards, I suppose to replicate the Windows original XP Machine, I need configure the static IP address of the new NICs as shown above and configure cards NETWORK the VM 5 HOST mode and use the virtual network Editor

  to adapt the VMS NICS? Or is there a better way to do it?

  Cheers for any help and advice that can be provided...

  If I'm wrong, you should be able to create a Bridged (vmnet) network for each physical card. Make sure that one (which is created by default) is mapped to a physical NIC dedicated rather than automatic.
