• Cannot start the virtual machine guest after receiving "License expired message" host ESXi 5.5

  I can't start computer virtual invited after receiving "License expired message" 5.5 ESXi host. I am able to copy the vm folder prompted with all its files using WinSCP I had already installed on a desktop computer in the network.

  However, it takes an extremely long time to download the VM [2.5 mb/s], which is of course a different question.

  It seems that I was still on the trial with my vsphere client license, until it expired. I am able to view the virtual machine within the workstation 10, but I can't turn it on. It says "Please install a license to power on this computer" there is no way to install a license anywhere.

  My question is... .will I be able to access this virtual machine if I download on an external hard drive, then add it to 10 VMWorkstation that I possess a current valid license?

  Even if the evaluation license has expired, you should be able to connect to the ESXi host using the vSphere Client and follow the steps mentioned in the article that I posted before you enter the free license key.

• expose the virtual machine via home router

  Hello

  I have my router configured to allow access to a virtual machine running Ubuntu 64 bit headless. The router allows port 80 to pass to the virtual machine. I was able to access the machine's web server once and then I get an error saying that the connection has expired. Determine, I can connect to the Web server on the computer virtual machine host through the LAN IP. I tried bridged and NAT.

  When debugging this issue, I changed the configuration of the router to allow access to port 80 on the host computer. This succeeded and I see VM host machine from outside my local network.

  I looked around your site and google, but I can't use the correct search terms. Can you point me to the documentation for it or let me know how do ?

  Thank you

  If you use the NAT, the virtual machine is originally a host-level NAT address (172.x.y.z) that your Internet router knows nothing.  You can forward port 80 on the router IP of your host, and then configure/Library/Application Support / VMware Fusion/vmnet8/nat.conf port 80 requests for port forward to address 172 of your VM on port 80.  Need to turn off Apache on OS X, if it works because it would cause a port conflict.

  Your other option is to change the VM from NAT filled, in which case your OS X and your Ubuntu VM would be on the same subnet with a DHCP address, given by the Internet router.  The router might forward traffic directly to the virtual machine without any additional port forwarding.

• Path to the file on the virtual machine

  Hi people

  I am aware of VMRUN and would use call programs on the virtual computer and move files between the host and the guest.  I don't know exactly what it does good, nor how these virtual machines are actually structured, so I would like someone to clarify for me if it is even possible to have a host path to a file on the client VM.

  For example, I use scripts from my Mac that do a lot of editing on the side of the virtual Windows machine - is there is a way, I can use to refer to and modify a file on the virtual machine without using VMRUN.

  Thank you very much!

  Mirroing is a little difficult, I don't think that anything that is either duplicated with shared folders.  What happens is the Windows to the Documents, music, path is set to a UNC path (vmware-host\), which is served by the VMware HGFS file system, a mechanism for sharing private with OS X.  In OS X, just the files live in any directory is shared.  But that's what you say, a place with several shared paths.

  For SMB sharing, sharing so once mounted on your Mac, OS X uses a SMB client to Yes go on the network to access files in your guest VM files standard Windows.  All traffic is host only, unless the virtual machine is filled and you use the Wifi connection, in which case the traffic can "bounce" the point of wireless as a jump.  There are ways to optimize the network path, so all traffic is strictly host only.

  I have not benchmarked HGFS v. SMB, but there is a "tax" anyway compared to the opening of the VM file on its file system local.  For your use case, it is probably useful to check the two options.

• View of the Virtual Machine with the host name of the filtering

  Hello

  I'm trying to get a specific view of the Virtual Machine from a hypervisor.

  Basically, I tried to reuse an idea found on the script of cdromdisconnect.pl, an address in http://communities.VMware.com/message/1192878#1192878

  The code would be

  My $host_view = Vim::find_entity_view)
  view_type = > 'HostSystem. "
  filter = > {'name' = > $vm_hypervisor_name},
  );

  My $host_moref = $host_view-> {mo_ref} {value};

  
  $vm_view = Vim::find_entity_views)
  view_type = > 'VirtualMachine.
  filter = > {}
  'runtime.host' = > $host_moref,

  'name' = > $vm_name,

  },
  );

  But the API said that "filtering is only supported for the Simple Type"

  So I'm just the host_view and then call the property "-> virtual machine" to recover all the vm of the host, and then I loop inside the table to retrieve the name and the virtual machine, I am looking

  But, is there not a smoother way to directly get the view of the entity of VM to a specific host?

  Thank you

  Give a try:

  $host_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type-online "HostSystem", filter-online {'name'-online $host_name}) | Die "could not get $host_name!"

  $vm_view = Vim::find_entity_views)
  view_type-online 'VirtualMachine.
  filter-online {'name'-online $vm_name},

  begin_entity => $host_view.

  },
  );

• Name of the Virtual Machine in full-screen

  Hello

  Is there a way to display the name of the Virtual Machine when you have it in full screen. The problem is that if you have multiple Virtual Machines open and they are full screen and off you self only a black screen and Don t know you one you have active. I would like to see the name of the VM on the screen as we see a screen capture if you pause the virtual machine.

  Do you mean that you force different Virtual Machines in different spaces? Like you always have Windows 7 into space 2 and Linux in 3 space.

  Yes, but I wouldn't use the word 'strength', I assign the VM space when running.  I open Fusion and then VMS, I use like XP, Ubuntu and I move the virtual machines to the spaces that I want them and I keep not merge.  I can suspend VMs need to free up RAM, but otherwise merge is left running.

• Error: "VMware Workstation has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full."

  I get this error message:

  VMware Workstation has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full. To continue, free 1.3 GB of additional disk space.

  I read up on the subject and found that I have to re size a partition. Anyone know what it could be? I can't find anything that looks like it has something to do with VMware. Does anyone know what size and what file system is it?

  My OS:
  Tumbleweed OpenSUSE x 64

  Thanks in advance

  On more creative, my home and root file systems were not extended to my full disk space :^)

• Prevent VMware 12 office computer to always start the virtual machines using the full screen?

  I have Windows 10 with a 4 k monitor, and I want to display only virtual machines in a window of 1900 x 1200 (I need to see the other windows as well as the virtual machine).

  The problem is that since the upgrade from VMware 12, whenever I boot a new virtual machine, it always starts in mode full screen (3840 x 2160). Is there a way to prevent it from auto-cliquant the button "Enter full screen mode? He did not only VMware 10.

• How to set vm-description/notes and get the name of the data store, where the virtual machine

  Hello guys,.
  I have vCenter Orchestrator 4.1.1 build 733 installed and it works fine, but I need your help for the following two issues:
  (1) I want to put the description/notes of a virtual machine using a workflow. But I have not found any API useful to create this workflow (I don't want custom attributes, see attachment for details).

  (2) how can I get the name of the data store, where the virtual machine? I need this name for a workflow.
  I need your help.
  Thanks in advance!

  With regard to the notes of the VM, the following code (see enclosed package) can do this:

  var oldNotes = vm.summary.config.annotation;
  If (oldNotes == null) {oldNotes = ' ' ;}}
  System.log ("Notes of VM current:" + oldNotes);
  Now put the new notes:
  Start by creating a context
  Context of var = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();
  Update the annotation with the new value property
  configSpec.annotation = notes;
  launch the task to reconfigure the virtual machine with the new context
  NOTE: This is sure to apply with a virtual machine under tension
  var task = vm.reconfigVM_Task (configSpec);

  And, in what concerns the VM information, take a look at the workflow of the library: \Library\vCenter\Virtual Machine management\Others\Extract virtual machine information

• Store the virtual machines folder has incorrect name

  We have a few VM servers that are stored in directories with incorrect names.  I'm looking on suggestions on repair to the top and go ahead.  When we build a new VM server to replace an existing one, we install and test on the day of migration that we rename the server and the new server, so this causes incorrect storage files.

  (1) what other people do to in this type of situation

  (2) how can I fix misnamed storage files?

  Thank you

  Ryan

  Hello.

  (1) what other people do to in this type of situation

  The same thing here.

  (2) how can I fix misnamed storage files?

  Rename the virtual computer, stop the virtual machine and then cold migrate.  This will make the names correspond to all levels.  OR rename the virtual computer and use Storage vMotion.

  Good luck!

• [Beginner] How to change the virtual machine name

  Hello

  How can I change the name of a Virtual Machine - I want to say the name that appears in VMPlayer (or VMWare Fusion) as it has recently used Virtual Machines. I tried to change the name of the vmx file but this does not affect the name of the virtual machine displayed in VMPlayer.

  Thank you very much.

  VMware Fusion 3.x and 2.x but not 1.x, you can click on and change the name of the virtual machine in the Virtual Machine library on the right side, just under the display area.

  For VMware Player you need to edit the "displayName ="parameter in the configuration file .vmx and of VMware Player virtual machine must be closed when you perform this operation."

• Script to change the name of the file to the virtual machine and its associated files

  Hello

  I'm looking for a script to change the name of the virtual machine in virtual center and also change it has associated file names in the data store to match file name of virtual machine. But the vmdk file will contain a descriptor which maps the - flat.vmdk file. So not sure that we can achieve this through a script.

  Thanks in advance!

  Not really as much as I know.

  The advantage of the svMotion is renamed it the files (.) VMX, VMDK,...) For you.

  The only alternative would be the command line. See Duncan Howto: renaming a virtual computer.

  With the help of the plink.exe tool which could possibly be scripted.
