• CPU on each virtual machine

  Hello

  is that what everybody knows on the calculation in cpu on each virtual machine?

  There are 2 cpu configuration section

  1. virtual Socket number

  2. number of per-socket basis

  and the total number is = 1 * 2

  I want to know if I installed a windows 2012 with standard license that supports the core 64 on a virtual machine

  then set the virtual socket number to 4 and the number of base by socket to 4 the total number of base become = 16

  Windows recognizes this as the core? and it works with that because it supports the core 64?

  or not? It recognizes the slot as a new processor and install 4 cpu and it does not install or update...?

  Thank you

• Settings of CPU and memory of reserve on the virtual machine running...

  Hello.

  I have two virtual machines in production with CPU and memory settings of reservation applied as shown below. I want to adjust these settings of reservation to "zero" for the CPU and memory on both virtual machines.

  I can make these adjustments while VMS are running, or do I need to power their first?

  Any advice would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  

  

  Welcome to the community,

  Booking of resources being completely transparent for the customer, i.e. a host function, there is no need to turn off the virtual machines. Basically all settings in are available to be changed in the editable GUI generally without interruption of service comments.

• How to add the AD security group in each virtual machine with a name corresponding in VCenter?

  Hi all

  I would like to know if it is possible with VMware PowerCLI v4.1, I created the universal security group called 'Local administrators on %ComputerName%' for each server I have in UO computers by location OR separate and that he manually add members of the Local, but I want to attribute this security group in each computer virtual with the same name if possible.

  Basically, it's something like this:

  In the ad, here are computer objects:
  DOMAIN.com/Computers/ mailserver1-VM
  DOMAIN.com/Computers/ DBServer1-VM
  DOMAIN.com/Computers/ ApplicationServer1-VM

  In the ad's local security group objects:
  DOMAIN.com/SecureProductionOU/ 'Administrator locally on mailserver1-VM'
  DOMAIN.com/SecureProductionOU/ 'Local on DBServer1-VM administrator.
  DOMAIN.com/SecureProductionOU/ 'Local on ApplicationServer1-VM administrator.

  So I want to affect these security group in each respective name of VMS in VCenter:

  VCenter01.domain.com
  Datacenter1
  HighPerformanceCluster1
  Mailserver1-VM - Local Administrator on mailserver1-VM - role: read-only
  DBServer1-VM - Local Administrator on DBServer1-VM - role: read-only
  ApplicationServer1-VM - Local Administrator on ApplicationServer1-VM - role: read-only

  Any kind of aid and assistance would be appreciated grgeatly.

  Thank you.

  Hi Albert,

  I don't know what you want to check exactly, so I give 2 possible solutions.

  (1) you have a fixed number of names known to virtual machines for which you want to add this permission.

  $targetVM = "MailServer1-VM","DBServer1-VM","ApplicationServer1-VM"
  
  Get-Cluster -Name HighPerformanceCluster1 | Get-VM | `    where {$targetVM -contains $_.Name} | %{    New-VIPermission -Entity $_ -Principal ("DOMAIN\Local Administrator on " + $_.Name) `       -Role (Get-VIRole -Name ReadOnly) -Confirm:$false   }
  

  (2) you want to check for each virtual computer if the security group exist and then add the authorization.

  Get-Cluster -Name HighPerformanceCluster1 | Get-VM | `    Where{Get-QADObject ("DOMAIN\Local Administrator on " + $_.Name) `        -DontUseDefaultIncludedProperties -WarningAction SilentlyContinue `        -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -SizeLimit 1} | %{    New-VIPermission -Entity $_ -Principal ("DOMAIN\Local Administrator on " + $_.Name) `        -Role (Get-VIRole -Name ReadOnly) -Confirm:$false} 
  

  Note that this requires the Quest AD snap-in must be installed. If you have a version without the Quest AD snap let me know.

• How can I assign a static ip for each virtual machine

  I have the NIC 2 and 3 vm on my vm server.

  I did find documentation how to assign an ip for each virtual computer fix.

  pleas help me... but probably easy...

  Assuming you have the management and the virtual machines on the same network, attach both rising/NIC bindings to the vSwitch0, configure the management network and tie each VM to the port "VM Network" group. As DSTAVERT mentioned, the IP of the virtual machine configuration is done in the VM themselves, as if they were physical systems.

  sample:

  

  If you have different subnets for the management and the virtual machines, you must either create multiple vSwitches or work with the VLAN.

• Upgrade to 5.1 constantly cause 'snapshot of disk space' enabled on each virtual machine

  Hello
  Since our upgrade from 5.0 to 5.1 all my virtual machines get alarms for "Flash disk space" even if none of them have any pictures taken. Even after acknowledge, and clear all alarms it will return.
  It also triggered the alarm directly after I deployed a new virtual machine from a template.
  I have not upgraded VMware tools on any of these virtual machines at the moment.

  Anyone else encounter this problem and might have a solution.

  Others just going to have to revisit VMware the phone since this flood of our mailbox to support at this time with false alarms.

• request: see conencted vswitches for each virtual machine

  Hello

  I'm new to the whole powerCLI.

  Is it possible to al list of all VM and the names of connected vswitch?

  Thank you

  Omar

  Try this:

  Get-VM | Select Name, @{N="vSwitch";E={Get-VirtualSwitch -VM $_}} | Sort Name
  

  Or if you want to trade as well:

  Get-VM | Select Name, @{N="vSwitch";E={Get-VirtualSwitch -VM $_}}, @{N="PortGroup";E={Get-VirtualPortGroup -VM $_}} | Sort Name

• The data of each virtual machine in the list store

  We would like to know where to find Datastore (MON) our VMs and integrate in our weekly report.

  Someone has an idea, how we could do that?

  Any help would be appreciated!

  The data in the report are in the $report variable.

  Now it depends on where and in what format, you want your state.

  If you want a CSV file, you could do

  
  $report = @()
  Get-VM | Get-View | % {
       $row = "" | select Name, Datastore, Path
       $row.Name = $_.Name
       $row.Datastore = (Get-View $_.Datastore[0]).Summary.Name
       $current = Get-View $_.Parent
       $path = $_.Name
       do {
            $parent = $current
            if($parent.Name -ne "vm"){$path = $parent.Name + "\" + $path}
            $current = Get-View $current.Parent
       } while ($current.Parent -ne $null)
       $row.Path = $path
       $report += $row
  }
  $report | Export-Csv "C:\VM-ds-report.csv" -noTypeInformation
  

  If you want to get a report to HTML format, you can replace the last line to

  
  $report | ConvertTo-Html | Set-Content "c:\VM-ds-report.html"
  

  Note that it comes to the ConvertTo-Html cmdlet in its simplest form, you can use the parameters (- title, - head - body) to improve the output.

  There are a number of samples of these two methods in this community to quit smoking.

  For outlook HTML for example have a peek at the Script to the list of Annotations.

  And there are several scripts for reporting have been entered in the script of last year competition.

  Those that you can find in the community Community Sample Code .

  I almost forgot, there are very nice scripts Alan Renouf that creates reports in Word format.

  Recently, he has even published a script to create a Visio drawing from your infrastructure of VI

• Is it possible under the EULA to have several virtual machines on a single physical hard disk while using the same OS license or do I need a separate license for each virtual computer?

  I have several programs that are not compatible with my 64 bit Windows 7 operating system.  I would like to run each different software under another virtual machine of VMWare (5 packs of different software programs and 5 different virtual machines of Windows XP).  These would all be installed on your laptop.  I can use the same license of Windows XP for each virtual machine, or do I need a separate XP license for each (different XP in case 5 licenses)?

  It is lifted directly from my EULA:

  1. GRANT OF LICENSE.

  The manufacturer that you grant the following rights, provided that

  comply you with all terms and conditions of this EULA:

  1.1 installation and use.  You may install, use, access,

  display and run one copy of the SOFTWARE on

  THE COMPUTER.  The SOFTWARE may not be used

  by more than two 2-processor both on the

  COMPUTER, unless a greater number is

  indicated on the certificate of authenticity.
  Then...
  This means that as long as you are running two or more instances of XP at the same TIME, you agree? Or does this mean that, after you install once, you have reached your limit?
  I imagine that most people (including those who are running Microsoft!) will say that the second interpretation is correct.
  However...
  If this is the case, anyone their hard drive as a backup to clone strategy would violate the EULA!

• 4 virtual servers in a single physical Machine with a physical LAN card, how possible to assign 4 different unique to each virtual server IP address?

  Can someone tell me please, that each server Machine should have an IP address of seprtae to connect the client computers. If we have 4 Server virtual machines in VMware in a physical server with a LAN card with only a MAC address. How can assign us the same IP address to all computers in Virtual Server 4? While we need four IP addresses of different/seprate for each server computer to connect to client computers. can someone explain to me please. (will be greate if you can give me a few examples). Thanks in advance.

  You will need four different IP for each virtual machine, and each VM will have a different MAC address generated automatically by vSphere.

  Assuming you are using vSphere, I highly recommend you take a look at this document: http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/virtual_networking_concepts.pdf

• Definition of levels of booking for a virtual machine

  The vcloud usage meter says:

  NET points = (vGB hours X points per 1 GB reserved RAM) / hours per month

  
  

  A month calendar of 30 days, a service provider uses the vCloud package provider services - first Edition to configure its virtual machine with 16 vGB for 15 days and 48 vGB 15 days remaining. The level of booking for the virtual machine is set to 75 percent for the whole month.

  15 days x 24 hours x 16 vGB x 0.75 = 4 320 hours of vGB

  15 days x 24 hours x 24 vGB (vGB 48 x 0.75 but capped at 24 GB) = 8 640 hours of vGB

  Total number of hours of vGB = 12 960 hours of vGB

  Total points = 12 960 vGB hours ÷ 720 hours / month x 7 points (for Prime Minister) = 126 points

  Where "the level of booking' for a virtual machine?  Is - this talk on VM bookings each parameter in vCenter Server, or do something to the extent of consumption vCloud himself?

  Hello. The reservation level is set for each virtual machine, using a vSphere Client or API.

• CLI command (or script) to determine if a resource pool has enough resources to a virtual machine

  Is there if a VMS resource pool has enough resources available to start the virtual machine WITHOUT triggering an error of vSphere PowerCLI script - or a series of commands - which can be used to determine?

  For reasons of performance test, we use a pool of resources with maximum rates for RAM and CPU.  Each virtual machine in the pool has a reservation for CPU and RAM.  Test automation will try to start VMs as much as possible in the pool during the test.  The CLI will return an error when you start the virtual machine may exceed the amount of allowed resources.  When this happens, an error on the console vSphere "insufficient resources".  Instead of constantly from the virtual machine, fault and generates error - is there a way to check to see if there is enough space?

  Thank you

  Jason

  Hi Jason,

  You can try if the following PowerCLI function is what you need. The function does not resemble stretch bookings.

  function Get-VmStartPossible {
    param($VM)
  
    $VM = Get-VM $VM
    $ResourcePool = $VM | Get-ResourcePool
  
    $CpuReservationUsed = $ResourcePool.ExtensionData.Runtime.Cpu.ReservationUsed
    $VMCpuReservation = $VM.ExtensionData.ResourceConfig.CpuAllocation.Reservation
    $ResourcePoolCpuLimit = $ResourcePool.ExtensionData.Config.CpuAllocation.Limit
  
    $MemoryReservationUsed = $ResourcePool.ExtensionData.Runtime.Memory.ReservationUsed
    $VMMemoryReservation = $VM.ExtensionData.ResourceConfig.MemoryAllocation.Reservation
    $ResourcePoolMemoryLimit = $ResourcePool.ExtensionData.Config.MemoryAllocation.Limit*1MB
  
    if (($CpuReservationUsed + $VMCpuReservation -gt $ResourcePoolCpuLimit) -or ($MemoryReservationUsed + $VMMemoryReservation -gt $ResourcePoolMemoryLimit))
    {
      $false
    }
    else
    {
      $true
    }
  }
  

  You can call the function with:

  Get-VmStartPossible -VM MyVM
  

• Virtual machines running Win 7 OS

  I'm trying to get information on how to configure a virtual machine for Windows 7. I use virtual machines demonstrate software that writes my business. I have a virtual pc that is different for each demo that I show up to now, I've been showing the software in XP virtual machines but want to migrate and start showing the software in a version of Windows 7.

  I use Windows 7 Ultimate which is what I thought was necessary to create a virtual machine from Windows 7, but it isn't clear how get the operating system in the virtual machine. Should I buy another license of Windows 7 to make it work? I'll be able to create multiple virtual pc if I buy another copy? Virtual PC uses the 64-bit version?

  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks - BP

  Unfortunately the Virtual Machines have their own separate license from the license of the host system. There are also a separate license for each simultaneous installation.

  In order to run a 64-bit VM host must be running in 64-bit as well, even if a 64-bit host can run 32-bit VM

  Each virtual machine is at least 2 files, a configuration file and then 1 VHD file for each hard disk, you configure (you can have more than one) in the virtual machine. You can have any number of virtual images, but the memory that you allocate is claimed when you run the machine will be how many can run at a time that is limited to the amount of physical memory in the computer, allowing for some to be available for the host o/s.

  Once you have the license of Windows 7 either convert the disk ISO (I use ISORecorder) or download the ISO image equivalent of Digital River. When you create the VM configuration use the control panel to include an optical drive and load the ISO in the drive. When you start the virtual machine, it will be BIOS start the virtual machine, exactly as if it were a physical computer and load the ISO the same as would a Windows 7 disc. It also works if you convert your demo software into an ISO file and install more quickly without having to use the optical drive on the computer.

• Cpu for vm resource stocks are much lower than the virtual machine in the list of resources

  I move a virtual machine from a PR, but I got this warning

  

  I checked and there was no reserve on the virtual machine and the destination THAT RP is set to Unlimited and expandable reservation

  any idea?

• Filter certain virtual machines of notification of UNIFIED messaging?

  We have usage screen v3.3.3. By default, it reports on all the virtual machines managed by the vCenter on which it is installed. I want to filter according to the report, the following types of virtual machines:

  -Models

  -Turning off VMs

  -To test virtual machines

  To facilitate this, I moved all the virtual machines that match in one of the above categories in a folder called "non-production". But after reading the user's guide, I don't see how to exclude this folder from notification of UNIFIED Messaging.

  Is this possible? Furthermore, if this method is not possible, is there another method by which I can achieve this?

  Thanks in advance.

  So let's see how we can go about this...

  First of all, virtual computers that are turned off and models (always off) are not being measured in the unit of vCLUM if you do not have to worry about them.

  Regarding testing of virtual machines, what business reason do you exclude those of vCLUM reports? Basically, as long you have licensed vCAN applied to an ESXi host and each virtual machine running on the host of such should be dosed in vCLUM and reported on.

  If you have a test environment, you need to be perpetual or demo licenses applied to the ESXi hosts supporting the test environment. Then you can go into your web portal of vCLUM at the location indicated below (categories of licenses/billing) and change the category of billing for license key demo / perpetual listed accordingly. With this method, you will be able to prevent the virtual machines, you want to be included in your monthly usage reports.

  

  I hope this helps!
