• API to create a Virtual Machine without using a model

  I see the GUI documentation how to create a virtual machine without a model, but I can't find the actions of the API how to build the virtual machine based on custom settings (CPU, memory, OS, etc.), there are a only of the shares how instantiate OVF or vAppTemplate. Could you please tell is possible to generate/create the VM without model or OVF by API?

  I see. Thanks for the background.

  Based on my notes there is no such API. Other applications were similar to this one and the solution suggested in this case is to programmatically create an OVF (describing the configuration of the VM to instantiate) and import it into the vDC. The end result is the same (i.e. an empty VM configured by entries) the difference is how it gets instantiate (created from zero Vs described in the OVF and imported).

• I installed windows 7 on a mac with boot camp and then used parallels to create a virtual machine to run windows inside Mac os10.6. Now he says I need to activate windows again, but he said I need a new activation key. Any ideas would be appreciated

  I installed windows 7 on a mac with boot camp and then used parallels to create a virtual machine to run windows inside Mac os10.6.  Now he says I need to activate windows again, but he said I need a new activation key.  Any ideas would be appreciated

  Yes, you must purchase a full license for the second installation of Windows 7 product key.  1 activation allows only one Windows 7 product key.  Apparently, you now have a second facility that requires a second product key. Carey Frisch

• Virtual PC - create new virtual machine snap into button appears not

  I installed virtual PC and having the image in XP mode works on Win 7 64 bit on a Dell Optiplex 990 i5 processor.  However when I choose the Manager of Windows Virtual PC and the Windows Explorer window opens, I see not the option create a virtual machine, just 'burn' where it should be.

  I tried to activate windows 7 aero UI think the classic look of windows blocked somehow but that has no effect.

  I tried to reinstall the configuration of virtual machine directly on the site but it gives me the message that there is not suitable for use.  I tried uninstalled and re - install, but get the same when the Explorer window is missing the snap.

  How can I get the snap in option seem to create a virtual drive?  The window appears with the title of Virtual Machines.

  Once again, the image in XP mode work properly and starts and stops without any problem.

• 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.

• Create a virtual machine with Maximum carrots ESXi has?

  I someone told me that VMware does not support to create a virtual machine with more than 50% of the available cores has your host. For example, I have an ESXi host with 2 CPU each with 8 cores. I have therefore 16 cores on my host. I wouldn't be able to create a virtual machine with 8 cores to be supported. Even if I am able to create a virtual machine with 16 cores? Is this person crazy me

  This is completely untrue, there is no such limitation. If your license allows, you can use vCPUs as much as your physical host has available threads and as the VM virtual hardware version allows.

• can not clone or create a virtual machine for vsandatastore

  Hi all

  I try to clone a virtual machine to vsandatastore. But I get the follow error:

  -> policy requires 2 replicas with discs 1 each with 0 bytes free each. Only found 0 these records.

  -> failed to create the object:

  The hardware configuration is:

  I/o Controller: LSI SAS9271-8i

  HARD DRIVE: ST91000640SS

  SSD:Intel SSSDSC2BA400G3

  10GE: Intel 82599

  When I create a virtual machine or create a file vsandatestore on the web client. I also see the same error.

  Could someone give me some suggestions? I do not know how to solve this problem.

  
  

  Thank you!

  > Policy requires 2 replicas with discs 1 each with 0 bytes free each. Only found 0 these records

  This means that all three nodes in the cluster is not participating in the storage. Check if all 3 nodes have at least 1 diskgroup and contributing to the storage

  default vsan strategy is 1 failure to tolerate what creates two replicas. so that you can either ensure that all 3 nodes have at least 1 diskgroup or create a vm storage policy replacing the default values

  Thank you

• Create the virtual machine with the ISO mounted CDROM

  Community of hell!

  Working on the vmcreate.pl script to add the creation of CD-ROM with iso data store, I got stuck on the error

  ' Invalid device configuration: ' VirtualSCSIControllerOption.numSCSICdroms '.

  I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, or this option but may not understand how to deliver this.

  I created a cdrom as follows (below test I create any CDROM, no iso file to reduce the number of layers):

  my $ BPPRR m_backing_info = VirtualCdromRemotePassthroughBackingInfo->new)

  deviceName = > ' '.

  exclusive = > 0,

  );

  my $description = description->new(label = > 'CDROM', summary = > 'cdddrom');

  my $connectable = VirtualDeviceConnectInfo->new(allowGuestControl = > 1,)

  connected = > 0,

  startConnected = > 1,

  ( State = > inmates ' / ' );

  my $ BPPRR m = VirtualCdrom->new(backup = > $BPPRRm_backing_info,

  connectable = > $connectable,

  controllerKey = > 0,

  deviceInfo = > $description,

  key => 1,

  ( unitNumber = > 1 );

  VirtualDeviceConfigSpec->new(device = > $BPPRRm,

  operation = > VirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation->new()'add'));

  Did anyone have working example to create the virtual machine with CDRom?

  Andrey

  If someone will find this useful I followed this route Re: vmreconfig.pl add the device CD/DVD fails if the virtual machine created with vmcreate.pl

  and also I found good examples of what I need to in VMUtil.pm in cmd vmsphere libraries.

• vCO workflow: create a virtual machine from a model and then ask the user about the CPU, memory size...

  Hi guys,.

  I am trying to create a workflow with vCO that can do the job for me:

  -Create a virtual machine (or maybe a several virtual machines) from a model (the model is in vCenter, of course)

  -L' user who is running the workflow has the thr right to say what he wants for the CPU, the memorysize, the disksize

  Any help?

  I found some workflows in the library can seem to do something similar to what I want, but since I'm a beginner I'd rather have your advice

  Hello there and welcome to vCenter Orchestrator

  Take a look at this series of tutorials to get an idea of how start:

  Create a vCO simple self-service VM Provisioning Portal - part 1

  Create a vCO simple self-service VM Provisioning Portal - part 2

  Create a Simple Self Service VM Provisioning Portal vCO - part 3

  The general approach to take would be to determine which of the clone (or clone and customize) workflows adapts to your nearest need (see your customer vCO: workflows\Library\vCenter\Virtual Machine management\Clone\)

  Then, create a NEW WORKFLOW that calls this one... after that your clone operation is complete, keep the computer turned off virtual and add feeds of extra work from the library to your new workflow that do things like change the amount of Ram, adds disks, change CPU, etc...

  Be sure to watch the videos on http://www.vmwarelearning.com/orchestrator to get a basic understanding of the use of vCO.

• Help for a demo: create multiple virtual machines

  Hello

  I am a beginner in vCO, I completed the installation and configuration with success and I started to create workflows, but I guess that I need help with an example that I started yesterday:

  I am creating several virtual machines at the same time, I mean all the user have to do is say how VMs, he wants to be created and the workflow must do the rest, but I don't know what is the best way to do so, in the present workflow in the library , find us only 'create simple VM' so I added a few scriptable tasks to this workflow, but still can't do what I want.

  Any solution plese? or a few best practices to perform this type of workflow? Maybe I missed a workflow can create multiple virtual machines with different names but the same configuration.

  Thanks in advance,

  This can help out you.

• Licenses to create a virtual machine is second with more than 8 cores?

  So, we have a machine with 4 physical Sockets with 16 cores on each. We bought 4 licenses of vmware's standard. Now, we saw early on that the number max of hearts that we assign to a virtual machine was 32, which isn't really a big problem, 32 is a lot for our needs. So we have a 32 core virtual machine running and some other smaller, but now when I try to create another virtual machine with more than 8 cores it tells me that I have insufficient licenses.

  Can anyone provide more information on that? If I can create a virtual machine with more than 8 cores, why I can't create a new one?

  He said authorized to 4 physical processors, so it's ok, it's using your Standard licenses.

  During the 60-day trial, you could create more large virtual machines, because the 60 days run with Enterprise Plus features. Now that you are using the standard license, you can create only 8 vCPU VMs.

  Solution:

  You should spend 5.5 ESXi. Your license will also work for 5.5 and you'll be able to create virtual machines with up to 64 vCPUs.

• Cannot create a Virtual Machine

  Hello

  I'm using VMware Workstation 10 and there seems to be a huge issue here. I can't create a Virtual Machine. After completing the Wizard "create a new virtual machine", it seems to be to do nothing. I even tried to open the .vmx file in the Documents folder itself. No matter what I do, don't open the virtual machine. I think that its not to be created in the first place.

  I am all the normal stages and have hardware virtualization enabled in BIOS. Oh, and I checked to see if Virtual Box is running, and it works well. The problem seems to be that in VMware Workstation. Can someone please help me on this? I posted pictures of the screenshot of what records looks like at the end of the wizard.

  

  

  I solved it. It turns out that I was using incompatible software - Windows7FirewallControl by Sphinx-Soft. He created trouble for VMWare even after allowing it through the firewall.

• Script to create multiple virtual machines model works is not for the network adapter variable

  We are working on a script to create multiple virtual machines from a template. The script works fine, but when we try to include commands to set the NIC to a group of specific ports on a dvswitch script errors on. Here's what we have so far. This script (less network variables) works, but we would like to include the network configs in the script as well.

  -------------------

  This is the part of the script that configures the network/dvswitch adapter... but does not work properly.

  $myResourcePool = get-ResourcePool-name DQOL

  $dsName = get-Datastore-name "DQOL-DS01.

  $myTemplate = get-Template-name "DQVTemplate".

  $distributedSwitchPortGroup = get-VirtualSwitch-distributed - name "CVE-dvS04-Nexus - k 5 | Get-VirtualPortGroup-name '979-DQ-SHARED '.

  New-VM-name MyVM1-model $myTemplate - Networkname ResourcePool - $myResourcePool - OSCustomizationSpec $mySpecification $distributedSwitchPortGroup - Datastore

  (Get-$dsName data store)

  New-VM-name MyVM2-model $myTemplate - ResourcePool $myResourcePool - OSCustomizationSpec $mySpecification - Datastore (Get-$dsName data store)

  _____________________

  !!!!!!!  This part works, but without specifying a network/dvswitch... card!

  $myResourcePool = get-ResourcePool-name DQOL

  $dsName = get-Datastore-name "CVE-SAN-ISG-DS02-02ef.

  $myTemplate = get-Template-name "DQVTemplate".

  New-VM-name MyVM3-model $myTemplate - ResourcePool $myResourcePool - OSCustomizationSpec $mySpecification - Datastore (Get-$dsName data store)

  New-VM-name MyVM4-model $myTemplate - ResourcePool $myResourcePool - OSCustomizationSpec $mySpecification - Datastore (Get-$dsName data store)

  Here is the error we get:

  New-VM: all parameters can be resolved by using the specified named parameters.

  C:\Users\capuanoj\Desktop\Create-multiplevms-fromtemplate.ps1:6 char: 7

  + New-VM < < < <-name MyVM1-model $myTemplate - Networkname $distributedSwitchPortGroup - ResourcePool

  ePool - OSCustomizationSpec $mySpecification - Datastore (Get-$dsName data store)

  + CategoryInfo: InvalidArgument: (:)) [new-VM], ParameterBindingException)

  + FullyQualifiedErrorId: AmbiguousParameterSet, VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.NewVM

  You cannot use the - model and Networkname - parameters of the cmdlet New - VM in a single order, because both are in different parameter sets. You must first create the virtual machine and then use the cmdlet Set-NetworkAdapter to change the portgroup of the virtual machine. As in example 4, assistance from cmdlet Set-NIC:

  --------------  Example 4 --------------

  C:\PS>$myNetworkAdapters = Get - VM | Get-NetworkAdapter-name "NIC 1.
  $myVDPortGroup = get-VDPortgroup-name MyVDPortGroup
  Together-NetworkAdapter NetworkAdapter - $myNetworkAdapters - $myVDPortGroup Portgroup

  Retrieves all network named "NIC 1" cards of all virtual machines and connects to the specified distributed port group.

• How to pass the start settings in starting a virtual machine?

  How can I use PowerCLI to start a new Linux VM and the nucleus of some startup parameters?

  What would be more simple: (a) to make and use a virtual machine model, or (b) to boot from an ISO image, or (c) start with a Linux VM and the clone who?

  The basic Linux is RedHat on an ISO on the network (ISO can be on a local path running the PowerCLI script if necessary).  If a model would be easier then a diagram how to make one of my ISO would be great!

  RedHat Linux can be configured by passing parameters of the kernel startup, so kickstart configures the system, something like

  KS=/my/path/KS.cfg otherparams

  where KS.cfg says kickstart what to do.

  How to pass the start settings in the new virtual machine?

  (It is probably completely irrelevant, but I work with Xen using bash scripting and)

  $UUID = xe model vm-install = "RedHatLinux64bit."

  XE vm-param-set uuid = $UUID PV-args="ks=/my/path/ks.cfg '.

  XE-vm-beginning uuid = $UUID

  now, it must be implemented on ESX. To determine when the new VM is fuly configured, my scripts from kickstart wrote a semaphore to be detected by the bash script.)

  I know very little about ESX and PowerCLI details will be particularly useful if you please!

  Thank you!

  Enjoy your break
