  How to connect sql database to esxi to save all data from the virtual machine

  Please provide steps

  In simple terms, you cannot connect ESXi to SQL. Connect a vCenter SQL (Windows only).

  If you want to save all the data that is contained in your virtual machines, I suggest a backup solution.

• HA does not restart the computer from the virtual machine

  Hello

  I have two ESX in a cluster.  ESX 1 have an XP machine. When I stop esx 1, the machine automatically goes to ESX 2 and has not restarted?

  I though that the machine needs to be restarted, but it does not restart. Is it supposed to the case that it does not restart?

  TKS

  Hello

  The virtual machine power on or off the power on esx2?

  What will HA is to turn off the XP on ESX1 when it is isolated from the network (which means unable to ping the default gateway) then ESX 2 will import and turn it on. Therefore, this

  will require a reboot. You must set the response of isolation to "turn off" so that it works. The easist HA of test is to unplug the network cable from the service console. This

  will trigger the isolation.

• Hardware changes reported after moving from the virtual machine to a host of W7 W8 host.

  I tried to move a virtual machine with the guest OS Windows 8 used in the VMware Workstation 9.02

  my HP desktop with Intel core i7-2600 processor, running Windows 7

  to my Toshiba laptop with Intel core i7-4700MQ processor, running the latest version of Windows 8.

  I did something like that all the time with my old laptop with i7-2630QM running Windows 7.

  It turns out that something changes significantly when the host of the laptop operating system passes W7 to W8.

  After starting the virtual machine on my laptop W8, I clearly stated it had been MOVED and NOT copied.

  Unfortunately when I try to use one of the Office 2010 applications, I get a message that the change of
  HW has been detected, and that I must again request (purchase new license I guess).

  Can someone help me solve this problem. For me the time is important.

  I'm leaving for a business trip to 3 weeks and the old laptop is no longer appropriate.

  Andrew J

  Hello

  It seems to be normal, because the changes to the hardware (RAM, CPU,...)

  may be a reason for reactivation of Microsoft Windows or Microsoft Office.

  I had such a situation, the upgrade of RAM.

  So if you have the license, activate it again.

  Hope has helped you.

• VMWare Fusion makes a break from the virtual machine because the disk is almost full.

  Is I myself am sitting at my computer this morning, I saw a message that says the guest system Windows XP Pro on my Mac Mini has been suspended.  Here is the message:

  "VMware Fusion has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full."

  I can't find a way to shut down Windows to resize hard disk space allocation.  I tried the Virtual Machine menu, but all the shut down/put off the power points are grayed out.

  Any ideas out there?

  You must read the message!

  BTW if force you the VM to the bottom you may corrupt the virtual system hard disk and or the VHD file and you need to just do as the message says and free up space on the OS X hard disk even if you temporarily move a few things on an external hard drive so that you can then reactivate the Virtual Machine and continue on the it.

• Placeholder Virtual Hardware Version different from the virtual machine active

  Hi all

  This is my first post to the community, so please be nice :-)

  I'm looking for after an ESXi U2 with MRS 5.5 5.1 environment and I have a problem I hope you can help me with?

  After an update of the all virtual V7 and V8 to V9 material throughout the environment recently, I noticed that is not reflected in the placeholder SRM on those virtual machines information placeholder. I hope it's just an aesthetic issue, but I don't want to get into a situation of DR and find that it is a question then (or it is systematic of a bigger problem!). I know I can do a test failure to confirm, but I'm not in that position at the moment as the company policy says I can only do the test during a maintenance window that is not for a while...

  I thought that the easiest option would be to "Recreate a Placeholder" in [groups] but this is grayed out on (which I suppose is because the protection status is "OK")... Protection status gives me some comfort, but this gap in information gives me a bad feeling...

  Your help and your advice would be appreciated!

  Crispy

  Hi crispy, welcome in the community :-)

  What happens if you go to the Protection Group, select a virtual machine, right-click and remove Protection, and then set it up again?

  These procedures will remove the placeholder VM and recreate without doubt using new hardware version... but do not forget that the ESXi host at the target site must be compatible with the new version of hardware.

• No network connection between the virtual machines on different hosts ESXi

  I have several 5.0 ESXi hosts in a cluster managed by vCenter Server 5 and I have network problems:

  1. [Host A] running a virtual machine can ping any other computer virtual running on the [host A] great!
  2. A virtual machine running on host [B] can ping any other virtual machine running on [B] home - very well!
  3. [host A] (from the ESXi console) can ping any virtual machine running on [B] home - even better!
  4. [B] home (from the ESXi console) can ping any virtual machine running [host A] - beautiful set!
  5. A virtual machine running [host A] can not ping any virtual computer running on host [B] and vice versa - bad, very bad!

  So basically the problem is that the virtual machines can communicate on hosts. It is a major problem that I need to fix, for obvious reasons.

  Networking on all hosts is configured exactly the same way: a unique and standard vSwitch with a pair of gigabit network cards grouped, vmkernels configured for the vMotion, NFS and network management and a group of ports configured for the VIRTUAL local area network used by the VMs. (vMotion works fine on hosts, storage vMotion works very well too.) All virtual machines are servers Windows (2003 and 2008).

  Reason #3 and #4 above, my assumption is that #5 must be the result of an ESXi/vCenter configuration issue and not a problem with the switches of material upstream. Is this a reasonable assumption?

  Whatever it is, can anyone offer suggestions on how can I fix? It is quite annoying as I'm pretty sure that these hosts are configured in the same manner as those of our production cluster, which does not at all these problems!

  Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.

  To be honest, it looks like a problem with your physical network-

  How is the physical network configured - are NIC connects it to the same physical switches? Are the virtual machines on the same subnet? If this is not the case, they are able to ping the gateway sbnet? Can you piing host IP address from the virtual machines?

  I also moved it to a forum more approiate.

• No network on the virtual machine after the use of converter

  I was running a basic vm (WinXP) on an esxi4.1 host running short of disk space.

  So I ran the vCenter Converter Standalone client to copy the original VM on a new - the only thing that I changed the size of the disc thin provisioned avaiable.   The copy/convert seemed to work your.

  I started in the new virtual machine, and it came exactly as the old one (with the largest disk).

  ... but the network on the works of more than vm.

  I can still use vSphere to connect to the esxi server and bring up the VM console (which tells me that the network the server works very well).  When I look at the configuration of the virtual machine, it looks exactly like the old (complete with a network powered).   But on the virtual machine, I can't even ping the router, much less get to the dhcp server.

  I even went so far as to stop the virtual machine, remove the network card, restart the virtual machine (if the network has been removed from the virtual machine), stop the virtual machine again, add a NEW network adapter.

  Still the problem remains.  The virtual machine has a network card - but has no network.

  A few thoughts:

  You use a managed physical switch? If so, check if the MAC address of the VM is seen on one of the uplink ports.

  The network management and the virtual machine using the same IP subnet? You could probably try (if possible) is to create an another vSwitch and attach the XP VM to it to see if there is a problem with the virtual machine and the management on the same vSwitch network.

• Unique ID of the Virtual Machine

  Nice day!

  We are

  software development APIs and the end user for Microsoft Windows OS and unfortunately

  We are dealing with the problems of piracy of software on virtual machines. We would like to

  ask questions about the ability of unique identifier Machine virtual Vmware that we can use

  during our method of licensing to prevent software piracy. In our case, the

  Black ice software can be installed more than once on the same Virtual Machine

  processor. Could please inform us how we can (if it is possible) check you

  the setting of the Virtual Machine that is unique and does not belong to any other VM

  computers running on the same processor (s)?

  Thank you!

  Kind regards

  <! Session data>

  Hello

  You can try another approach to the UUID of the virtual machine. There are several problems with this:

  -To get this info from the virtual machine, you must point the PowerCLI script to a management as vCenter server. This may alter much a security policy. For my part could never allow that.

  -Second is not directly queryable within the virtual machine itself.

  I suggest you watch the getinfo VMware Backdoor options to see if something that you can use in that it is directly queriable within the virtual machine and can not be disabled at the moment. Output may be limited, but it cannot be deleted. This is commonly called RedPill and there is a lot of code out there that will help you to access the backdoor.

• 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.

• Create an alert only rule on the virtual machines in a Service

  I'm under vFoglight 6.7.1. I set of services including virtual machines. I want to change the rules, such as disk space, to pull it from the virtual machines in this alert service. This would allow me to define groups for different email alerts. Someone has an idea how to do this?

• alert filtering for the Virtual Machine in emailFilter.xml

  I'm trying to filter for alerts from the Virtual Machine to the user interface in the emailFilter.xml.

  Ideally I would like to filter by other measures such as the ready % CPU or the CPU usage or some other metrics, but in the meantime just try to isolate the Virtual Machine.

  < condition >

  < condition type = "ResourceKind" > VMware adapter: Virtual Machine < / condition >

  < / conditions >

  I tried a few different combinations of the above, but no luck.  Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

  Thank you!

  not quite sure I understand what you try to do

  Edit:

  But I have the kind of resource would be 'VirtualMachine' (without a space), and there is no tag 'typical'.

  Look at him ' consolidated-alert - definitions.xml' for example, formatting must be exactly as specified.

  I read it twice
  Look here - https://www.vmware.com/pdf/vcops-57-custom-ui-admin-guide.pdf page 82.

  resource type must be VMWARE:VirtualMachine

  
  

  I'm not sure that you will be able to filter by attribute however (such as the CPU usage)

• delete a virtual disk of the virtual machine of broken storage

  I have a virtual disk to a virtual machine on a broken iSCSI storage,

  now I can not remove the disc from the virtual machine.

  ESX 4.1 does not see the now broken iSCSI storage.

  See attach.

  Remove the virtual machine from the inventory and edit VMX manually deleting the reference to this disk. After that, add the machine virtual back again for the inventory.

• Impossible to get 'notes' of the virtual machine

  I tried to use a powershell script to get information from the virtual machine. I can get VMHost, VMname and GuestVersion using the script in the following, but failed to get the notes of the virtual machine. Anyone know why I can't get notes, please help me with that. Thank you in advance.

  report = @)
  foreach ($vmView in (Get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine))
  {
  $report += $vmView. Select-Object @{Name = "$vmhost"; Expression = {($vmView.Runtime.Host Get-View).} Name}},
  @{Name = "VMName"; Expression = {$_.} Name}},
  @{Name = 'Notes'; Expression = {$_.} Description}},

  @{Name = "GuestVersion"; {Expression = {$vmView.Guest.GuestFullName}}
  }
  $report | Sort-Object VMName-descending | Export-Csv "d:\vm_GuestVersion.csv" - NoTypeInformation

  There is no need to do it with the cmdlet Get-View.

  You can do

  $report = @()foreach ($vm in Get-VM){    $report += $vm | `        Select-Object @{Name="VMHost"; Expression={($_.Host).Name}},            @{Name="VMName"; Expression={$_.Name}},            @{Name="Notes"; Expression={$_.Description}},            @{Name="GuestVersion"; Expression={$_.Guest.OSFullName}}}$report | Sort-Object VMName -Descending | Export-Csv "d:\vm_GuestVersion.csv" -NoTypeInformation
  

  If you want to do with the cmdlet Get-View for any reason, you can do

  $report = @()
  foreach ($vmView in (Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine))
  {
      $report += $vmView | `        Select-Object @{Name="VMHost"; Expression={(Get-View $vmView.Runtime.Host).Name}},
              @{Name="VMName"; Expression={$_.Name}},
              @{Name="Notes"; Expression={$_.Config.Annotation}},
              @{Name="GuestVersion"; Expression={$vmView.Guest.GuestFullName}}
  }
  $report | Sort-Object VMName -Descending | Export-Csv "d:\vm_GuestVersion.csv" -NoTypeInformation
  

  But note that as you need a view of the GET each time for the host name, performance will suffer.

• create the virtual machine from windows NT 4 server with adaptec raid 5

  I have an old Dell (1998) server running windows NT 4.0 sp6a.  He had a raid 5 configuration using the controller raid adaptec SCSI 2940.  2 discs failed who broke the raid set.  I had a disk recovery company to recover the data and they have scratched off readers and gave me a SATA with all volumes.  I found a procedure to create a virtual hard disk (.vhd) and then converted to a hard and used to create a virtual machine in VMware workstation 7.  When I turn on the virtual machine, it begins the process of starting windows, shows the boot menu, select normal or mode VGA, goes through the process of NTdetect, display processor and memory but then gives a BSOD with the message inaccessible_boot_device.

  I changed the hard to affect the buslogic ddb.adaptertype, but it gave me the same problem.

  is there a different driver that I need for an adaptec raid controller or if the typical SCSI drivers should work?  If the typical SCSI drivers should work, so my problem might be in my Boot.ini because it shows that he is supposed to start on the partition (4) and this sata drive may not have scores exactly as they were on the raid configuration.  I tried to mount the volumes not in read-only mode, but the partition that I need to change the boot.ini file is partition (2) what mapping VMware won't let me open mode not readonly.  whenever I have, select it and it opens the partition (1) mode not readonly.

  I know this sounds complicated then I hope I described with precision.

  I live in Germany, but my internal clock seems to be adapted to the New York Times.
  Very useful, because most repairs or recovery to the VMware is done the evening or at night.
