• In the face of the question and try to set the affinity through VCO workflow rule

  In the face of the question then to attempt to set the affinity through VCO workflow rule I'm trying to write workflow VCO to set up the level of affinity of cluster, but it throws the error message cannot convert ClusterComputeResource 'mycluster' to com.vmware.vim.vi4.ClusterConfigSpec (Workflow: create vm-virtual machine affinity rule / Scriptable task (item1) #19) my script to workflow is var rule = new VcClusterAntiAffinityRuleSpec(); Rule.Key = - 30; Rule.enabled = true; Rule.Name = ruleName; rule.userCreated = true; Rule.VM = MV; var clusterSpecRules = new Array(); var clusterSpecRule = new VcClusterRuleSpec(); clusterSpecRule.operation = VcArrayUpdateOperation.add; clusterSpecRule.info = rule; clusterSpecRules.push (clusterSpecRule); var clusterSpec = new VcClusterConfigSpec(); clusterSpec.rulesSpec = clusterSpecRules; var m = computeCluster.vimHost //spec = task = computeCluster.reconfigureCluster_Task (computeCluster, spec, true); Note: In the above code, what are the entry parameter computeCluster entered type parameter VC:clusterComputeResource ruleName is a parameter of type String - APR

• Resizing disk and extend the volume

  Hello

  We receive many questions with drives running out of space. So I want to automatically resize these discs and trigger the server assigned to run diskpart to extend the drive. otherwise, there has no presence for the task of resizing automatically.

  My problem is: is he a psossibity to trigger this disk extend with powershell plugin vco, without installation on each server certificate and by adding it as a powershellhost to vco.

  My workflow resizing works and the powershell script is also no problem. But how to group them?

  My idea was to run the script to a central powershellhost. Unfortunately PS plug-ins use ps-remote access and remote in a remote session access is not possible: S

  That's why I'm looking for any other in comments operations to handle this.

  Do you have any other idea or a good indication.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello!

  I see two ways:

  1 use my Plugin PowerSSHell for vCO, he called Powershell via SSH, so you might be able to use ps-distance communication.

  Download and info here: http://www.vcoportal.de/powersshell-plugin/

  To download powershell ssh server: http://www.powershellinside.com/powershell/ssh/Default.aspx (a free license is available as far as I KNOW)

  (A central script host script was exactly the use case, I created the plugin for)

  2. you use VIX-plugin (if you're on vSphere 4), or the API vSphere comments 5 to call the script inside the VM guest.

  See the discussion here: http://communities.vmware.com/message/2006040

• Cannot resize disk

  Today, I created a new virtual machine using "Import Windows XP Mode". This has created a machine with a disk of size 127 GB. I moved this virtual machine to another location. Everything works fine.

  BUT... then I tried to resize the drive using 'Virtual Machine Settings' > select hard drive > "Utilities" > "expand...". »

  This gives the following error:

  "The called function cannot perform partial channels. Please open the virtual disk parent. »

  Looked for clues of what he must do next, but did not find anything useful (in my opinion). Subjects were not associated with VMWare Player or referred to in the questions with snapshots, but I believe that I don't have any snapshot. So after hours searching the web, I ran out of options.

  Does anyone know what I should do next?

  Well, I had some time to install Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 and then using VMware Player chosen import VM from Microsoft Windows XP Mode and it has created the Virtual Machine from Windows XP Mode VMware and first without running the image below shows the default files created during this process.

  

  "As I previously well that the 'Windows XP Mode.vmdk" VHD is linked to the virtual hard disk "Windows XP Mode base.vhd" as evidenced by the information contained in the disc DescriptorFile built into the Windows XP Mode.vmdk ' of the virtual hard disk as shown below.

  # Disk DescriptorFile
  version=1
  CID=37ee0fdc
  parentCID=00000000
  createType="monolithicSparse"
  parentFileNameHint="C:\Program Files\Windows XP Mode\Windows XP Mode base.vhd"
  # Extent description
  RW 266338304 SPARSE "Windows XP Mode.vmdk"
  
  # The Disk Data Base
  #DDB
  
  ddb.encoding = "windows-1252"
  

  This means that, unless you resize the virtual hard disk "Windows XP Mode base.vhd" first before using the command import Windows XP Mode in VMware Player, then you won't be able to have a larger hard under VMware Player as the "Windows XP Mode.vmdk" virtual hard disk is for all purposes useful just a disk snapshot and under normal circumstances a virtual hard disk with the snapshots can be expanded through normal default methods.

• Resizing disk C of Server 2008 VM

  I'm having a problem of resizing of one of my virtual machines.  I had 4 virtual machines that are running as Terminal servers, I could resize the vm 3 successfully 4.  It's really a bit easy, after all the post, I stumbled across how to resize a disk, it turned a virtual computer that is running Server 2008 is frank.

  The steps that worked:

  Delete all snapshots

  Shutdown VM

  Change the settings through VI

  Change hard disk 1 for correct size (Changed from 40 GB to 60 GB)

  Restart the virtual machine

  In the Server Manager & gt; Storage & gt; New analysis management of drive and you should see the new unallocated space. Right click on the C drive and choose expand volumes.

  That's it, you're done.  I restarted the server just to be safe.

  However, on my last server when I change the space of 40-60 GB disk and click OK.  If the back, I opened the settings, the HD is 40 GB.  I have more than 500 GB left in my data store.  The player is a basic player and it seems to be the same as the rest.

  Any thoughts?

  You are 100% sure that this virtual machine is not any snapshots?

• Resize Disk Partition problem

  I'm trying to remove a partition on a HARD internal disk and place the unused disk space in C: drive.  I currently have two partitions C: and D:.  The D: partition was initially used for recovery purposes, but is now empty.  The problem I have is when I go to disk Management, it's that the partition d: is located to the left of the C: partition (I guess that this was done by the manufacturer.  Therefore, even if I delete the partition to the unallocated space, I can't even extend C left since extend cannot be used after the C: partition.  I tried to use diskpart.exe, but have had no success with that either.  I tried Gparted boot disk for resize/move, but when I try to apply I get an error and nothing happens.  Any help would be appreciated.

  You will not be able to do it, because the disc was encrypted by OEM making it to prevent the violation of copyright or corruption of files. You will need a third party app to save your data and repartition the entire disk.

• Resizing disk partitions.

  I removed two unused partitions on my hard drive. Now I have C:\, D:\ (original image) and 2 spaces of the same size as the partitions that I deleted. One is not entitled 'allocated' and the other 'free '. I would like to combine the two in a partition with the combined size of the 2 I have deleted, but when I try to create a new partition of one of them, their size is limited by the size of the old partitions. Is it possible to combine the non allocated and free spaces in a new larger partition? Thank you. ... Jim

  Tom...

  Thanks for your comments. I am able to create a (E:\) partition out of unallocated space, but can't locate 'disk management' to try to resize to take advantage of the free space. How do you get the drive management? I use Vista 64 Home Premium.

• Resizing disk Server 2008 all online

  Hello

  Ive just resized a few 2003 Windows Server system partitions on the fly by allocating additional space by v-sphere, then Aoemi.

  Well impressed that a reboot was necessary. Interviewed just out of curiosity, why it can be live on 2008 Server (the v-sphere bit) - two basic on the same storage disks.

  Thank you!

  I resized 2008 front in and out of VMware if this isn't a problem, just curious as to why he would let me do work on 2003, but not on 2008.

  I think you may have a glimpse on the VM Windows 2008, this prevents the extension.

• Resizing disk Question

  Hi all

  I have a small question which I'm sure will be an easy answer.  I just want to be sure before doing this.  I have a server Exchange (VM) I need to resize the C drive.  I need to reduce it 90 GB to 50 GB.  Is there something I need to be concerned or any problems?  I shrunk the partition in Windows server 2008 now I need to resize the disk in the VI client.  Any info is appreciated.  Thank you!

  Perry

  Sorry, not the version of the OS.  Yes, W2K8 has a tool for resizing for expansion and shrinkage.  I've never had the need to shrink, so I can't say for sure...

  I don't know what will happen by changing just the size of the HARD drive by changing the settings of the virtual machine.  I would say that if you have a test of the virtual machine, try it on this first.

• Resizing disks after P2V...?

  I don't know if this is possible, or if I did it correctly, but here is the scenario...

  I managed to convert a machine using the 'Stand Alone' P2V tool. During this process are created files hard on the virtual machine "perimeter" in terms of size, which is a huge waste of space, so I want to reduce the size of the files hard...

  It should have at the point of conversion maybe? I remember all the options for this...?

  I tried to detach the computer drives virtual newly created and attached to an existing VM from the mine and their resizing using the parameters of the virtual machine window, but they will not accept the new sizes, I want them to be... When you click OK to reconfigure the computer sizes simply go back to the original size that they were created as...

  Can someone give me some advice on how these hard files are best created and how or even not at all I can handle them in order to free up space lost in these files because there is no possibility of this data ever expanding beyond what is now so all free space in these hard files is lost sapce on my MSA.

  You could do that while you did the P2V. However, the best way to resize the disks is to reuse the free Converter Standalone as she handles the resizing of the partition (in case of Windows), as well.

• API how to resize the area through drawing

  Hi there, Just wana know if I created a box or L shape box dynamically, how it can be resized through specific points.

  I have a project, something like www.kitchenplanneronline.com and when you select a Layout section it gives you points to change the size of the box.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  When you resize startDrag() to one of the points, start a loop that repeatedly redraws your shape.

• Fill in the description field of the virtual machine through VCO with Notes?

  I read in several positions, it should be possible to give a description using the notes (or __Notes) property

  However if I try to do from within VCO when installing a virtual machine using

  var Updateproperties = new Properties ();

  updateProperties.put ("Notes", "Your field new description here");

  problem solved. I had to use "provider-__Notes.

• Request for catalogue through VCO

  I installed the 6.0.1 plugin in VCO and was able to set it up.  I'm looking to replace my blueprint.provision with the new requestcatalogitem script.  I get this error: [null] null (the dynamic Script Module name: requestCatalogItem #1).

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Yes, it's more or less a known issue. We have seen that in some environments, infrastructure services return 'null' instead of an empty list of properties when obtaining the form fields, and the first version of the plug-in wasn't expecting that. Here you will find a technical preview version which should fix this:
