Remove the virtual & carrots casings by socket

Dear Experts,

I need to know is safe reduce the virtual number of sockets and the number of cores per socket for a virtual machine running that Win 2008 R2 64-bit? Version 5.0 Update 2 vSphere, I found that more resources is communicated to the VM and in fact not necessary. I need to understand that I will experience no problem tipping.

The same above question for Windows 2003 R2 64 bit, how it behaves?

Thank you

Hi guy,

Add HOT allows only you add CPU and memory when running, but to remove the socket or cores you have to turn off the virtual machine and then do it. There is no other way to remove the CPU of the virtual machine.

Thank you and best regards,

Shrikant Germain.

  • Removing the virtual HARD drive / Datastore

    Hello

    Hello

    Hello from the Canada

    Yes, you can simply delete the virtual hard disk to the Virtual Machine through 'change settings '.

    Then turn on your VM again

    Once you have your data store to save and launched, you can add it back into your virtual machine.

  • (Find and) removing the virtual copies

    Hello.

    I managed to create virtual copies of 1000 or more photos. This happened (I think) while trying to clean a file in the collection. What I want to do now, so to sort - and isolate? -virtual copies created accidentally. I tried to use Copies of filter/Virtual Library and sorting during editing, but it still seems that it will take time to find those that have been made virtual copies by intention and those who were not. As I also did a lot of editing work before this accident, I would rather not return a previous backup.

    So, to summarize: what is the best way to find only the created virtual copies from say 10:00 this morning?

    Thanks in advance,

    OLE k

    While you can order by order added, I don't see anything to display. I said descending because then the accidental should be the first to that see you.

    I think I may have confused things by saying smart collection / contains / whatever. The only goal was to find all virtual copies, so we could then see those accidental. We cannot do this by file Type, but we can do it by searching for a letter, for example 'o', which we know will be in the copy name field.

    Another approach would have been to go to these collections. Alt Ctrl Shift Delete (PC) or remove Opt Shift Cmd (Mac) is necessary to remove the items from Lightroom - what is necessary because a simple deletion would only remove the item from this collection.

  • How to remove the virtual computer on a data store

    I'm moving VM (by the data store) to my new cluster data store and as I release a DS I have delete and create new with VMFS5.  I just emptied a data store but when I run the following command it shows again two VM on the same DS so when I navigate on the DS it is empty.

    Get-datastore-name "DS_NAME | Get - vm | FT name

    How to see where/how/why these two VMs are on the DS when it seems to be empty, and I'm assuming that PowerCLI is my best result. Of course, I don't want to just delete the DS as possible casue a problem with these virtual machines.  When I look at the settings them of each virtual machine they show that they are on a store of separate data and not that I'm trying to delete.

    Any help is appreciated

    You can do:

    or:

  • Automatic deletion/removal of the virtual machine to inventory

    Hello

    I need to create a clone of a virtual machine once a month on the storage separate from the original machine. Before that the time has come for the next monthly clone I have to delete the virtual machine but also to remove the inventory. I need to do without leaving the clone deleted in an orphaned State as the next clone turns out to be defective for the double.

    I set up a scheduled task to clone the machine then next month a cron job to run a vmware-cmd - s unsubscribe & lt; path to vmx & gt; followed by an rm - r & lt; path to vm & gt;. It does everything I need except remove the virtual virtual machine inventory.

    Did someone knows a way to remove it completely (as if to make a destroy) or cloning without adding it to the inventory (this is not really a need for us).

    Any help would be great,

    Mick

    With the command: vmware-cmd - s unregister

    You will need to restart the mgmt-vmware and vmware-vpxa service in order for the front end to pick up the change.

    Or you can use VC SDK.

  • How to add the virtual copy to an existing collection

    Hello

    I use LR 5.7.x in Win7 environment.

    I have an existing collection within a collection set. I would like to add a virtual copy of an image to this collection. Is there a way to do this in one step?

    If I select the image and press B, he puts a - not a virtual copy - copy into the target. The only way I see to do this is to first make the virtual copy, copy it to the target collection and finally remove the copy virtual from the original location.

    Best regards

    Scott

    Hi scott_o,

    To add a virtual copy to a collection, you must create a virtual copy. When it is created, set the collection (to which you want to import pictures or virtual copies to) as target collection.

    Once this is done, you must select the image or the virtual copy, then press B to add to the target collection.

    Note: Add collection does not all copies of the image file.

    In addition, if you remove the virtual copy in the catalog, it will be removed from the collection as well.

    Let me know if it helps.

  • Move the virtual machine from one host to another with shared storage

    Hello

    I have a question on how to move a virtual machine from one ESX 4 host to a host ESXi 5.  These hosts have access to the same shared storage but the ESX 4 host is outside the network and host ESXi 5 is inside the network so vMotion is not an option.  They are in different groups.  I know that there must be an easy way to move this virtual machine, but for the life of me, I can't find it.  I guess I have remove the virtual machine from the external cluster but how to make the virtual machine in the internal cluster?

    Thanks in advance...

    If both host access to the data store even where VM's store, just stop the virtual machine, remove inventory on ESXi 4, go to ESXi 5 vSphere vSphere, browse the data store where the VM is stored, do a right-click on the .vmx file and add to the inventory.

  • Delete the virtual machine to the specified date

    I'm trying to write a script to remove a virtual computer on a certain date.  Currently, I want people to add this in the name of the virtual machine "VMname_Delete-/ 1/1/14", I then search for the virtual computer with:

    Get - VM | where {$_.name - cmatch "Delete-\d\/\d\/\d"}

    With that, I'm sure that the correct VM is selected, and I tested it with virtual machines to make sure.  Now comes the hardest part (at least for me), I want to take the date to which belongs the VM name, convert it to a DateTime and then compare it to the current date.  If they match, I want to remove the virtual machine.  I tried something in the sense of:

    Get - VM | where {$_.name - cmatch "Delete-\d\/\d\/\d"} | foreach {$_ .name-split "-"}

    Which of course divide the table edge, and on tests, I had an output similar to:

    VM_Delete

    01/01/14

    Of course, now I don't know how to finish the rest.  I thought that the script would be something like:

    Get - VM | where {$_.name - cmatch "Delete-\d\/\d\/\d"} | {foreach}

    If (($_.name-split «-»)-[DateTime] - game (get-date-format ' MM/dd/yy'))

    {Remove-VM - VM $_ - DeletePermanently}

    }

    I don't see the logic in my head, but of course, I just can't write they way I think it should go.  Any help is appreciated.

    Perhaps you could do something in this direction

    $now = get-Date

    Get - VM | where {$_.name - cmatch "Delete-\d\/\d\/\d"} | {foreach}

    $dt = [datetime]($_.) Name.Split('-') [1])

    If ($dt - lt $now) {}

    Remove-VM - VM $_ - DeletePermanently

    }

    }

    With the use of the index ([1]), we select the date part of the name of the virtual computer.

    Then we have "cast" the string into a DateTime object.

    Note that typeface could cause problems, depending on the culture settings you use.

    Worse, divide you the date on the character string ' / ' and then generate the DateTime object as follows

    $now = get-Date

    Get - VM | where {$_.name - cmatch "Delete-\d\/\d\/\d"} | {foreach}

    $dummy, $year $day, $month = $_. Name.Split('-') [1]. Split('/')

    $dt = get-Date-day $day - month $month-year $year

    If ($dt - lt $now) {}

    Remove-VM - VM $_ - DeletePermanently

    }

    }

  • Cannot depend on the virtual machine after reboot

    Hello world

    Thanks for reading this post.

    My version VM ESXI4.1.0, 348481.

    Here's my problem:

    One day my VM was hanged, and I tried to restart.

    After the reboot, it can be turn on. And I tried to remove the inventory and to recreate the virtual machine.

    However, I can't find the. VMX file in the data store.

    So I tried to create a new virtual machine and put the files in this folder, but it can also work.

    Please see the capture screen, (http://clip2net.com/s/2aNUG)

    Could someone give me guidance and advice how to solve?

    Thank you very much.

    According to the latest vmware.log file, you have tried to access one of the files base/flat with a wrong header file (40 GB)! This hopefully not bad data on the virtual disk. In any case, I've recreated the missing files (see attachment), so you should be able to redo the work of the virtual machine. Because the vmware.log file did not help, I've recreated the instant chain according to the timestamps of the delta file.

    Please follow it below mentioned steps exactly to avoid problems in case something does not work as expacted:

    • Make sure the flat files as well as files 2 6 delta are still in place (not renamed,...)
    • remove the virtual machine from the inventory of the host (right-click-> "Remove from inventory") ESXi
    • delete the temporary/second .vmx unless there is a special need for it
    • Download the files from the .zip file in the folder of the virtual machine on the data store
    • Click right newly downloaded virtual machine's .vmx file and choose "add to the inventory.
    • create a new snapshot (this is important!)
    • Turn on the virtual machine

    If something is not or you have questions, please send back before moving on to the other steps.

    If everything works as expected you should consider the 'Delete All' snapshots in snapshot Manager. This will release not only almost 200 GB of disk space, but can also improve the performance of the virtual machine. Because the size of the snapshot, remove snapshots may take some time, probably in hours!)
