• rename several virtual machines based on the State of food & VM name

  I'm looking for a powershell script to rename the virtual machine based on the state name and vm power.  For example, I have several virtual machines with a - temp at the end of the name of the server.  Some are turned on and some are turned off.  I am wanting to rename only those who is off

  Thank you

  tjw82

  Assuming that - temp is part of the name

  Get - vm | where {$_.powerstate - eq "poweredoff"} | foreach {Set-machine virtual - VM $_ - name (($_.name).)} Replace ("temp", "delete"))}

• Start the virtual machine based on the load of another virtual machine

  Hi all

  I am looking for a solution that will start the VM on request depending on the load on the other virtual machines, perhaps in the same resource pool. Essentially, the expected result would be something like this:

  -When the dv01 reaches 75% CPU usage for 15 minutes,

  -Boot VM02

  -Once dv01 was less 40% use for 30 minutes,

  -Close the VM02

  This could also be a new virtual machine that is upwards of a model and Sysprep, rather than one that just sits there, offshore and unused.

  I hope that the final objective is clear. Does anyone have recommendations on how to do it? I just did a quick search on certain clauses that I thought would be relevant and did not really turn anything upwards.

  Thanks for your comments!

  with raise vm02, you can set the alarm action to run a script that will start vm02.

  PowerCLI command would be

  Start-VM - vm VM02

  you could probably add an alarm if dv01 has a less than 40% cpu

  run another script

  the command is:

  stop-vmguest - vm-VM02

• Virtual machines based on statement records

  I'm looking to count the number of virtual machines that are contained in each of the top level folders in vCenter Server.  For example, there are 10 top-level folders - in folder1 of higher level, there are 200 virtual machines (including all folders under this folder), and in the 2 top-level folder there are 250 mV and so on.

  Any contribution appreciated - thank you!

  Greetings, @TheVMinator-

  This can be done quite easily by using the parameter - NoRecursion on Get-file.  So, assuming that the folder structure is something like:

  myVCenter
    smallDatacenter
      + topFolder0
      |   + subfolder0
      |   + anotherSubfolder
      + topFolder1
      |   + thisFolder0
      |   |   + deeperFolder
      |   + subfolderHere
      + topFolder2
      |...
  

  You can use the following to get the top-level folder names and counting the number of VMS in each top-level folder and all their subfolders:

  ## get the given datacenter, then get the built-in "VM" folder, then get the top-level folders there, and foreach top-level folder
  Get-Datacenter "smallDatacenter" | Get-Folder "VM" | Get-Folder -NoRecursion | %{
       ## create a new object that contains the folder name and the count of the VMs in this folder and all of its subfolders
       $oOutput = New-Object -Type PSObject -Property @{
            "FolderName" = $_.Name
            "VMCount" = @(Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -SearchRoot (Get-View $_).MoRef -Property Name).Count
       } ## end New-Object
       ## write out the info
       $oOutput
  } ## end Foreach-Object
  

  This will display a single object by top-level folder, each with the name of the folder and the number of VM for the folder and all its subfolders.

• vRA 6.2 API - is possible to ask a new virtual machine based on a machine of model using the API

  Hello

  Is this possible in version 6.2 API at the request of a new virtual machine based on a model of Machine catalog?

  Thanks for the help in advance,

  Pieter

  Yes, you need to specify the new virtual machine in json format and publish it on/catalog-service/api/consumer/requests

• Connect physical hard disks to the virtual machine (and leave the data intact)

  Hello

  I'm looking to virtualize a SOHO headless server, that I use mainly for secure file storage.

  Currently, the system runs Linux installed on a small disc and has two drives 1.5 TB, used exclusively for data, in a cluster of ZFS mirroring. (I use the ZFS-fuse Linux-based application).

  I want virtualization for two reasons. One is to make administration easier and safer - avoid having to connect a keyboard and the physical monitor to the box from time to time. The other is that the machine is a bit more powerful to handle the load, and I'm hoping to make it work on other, more challenging tasks.

  Now, there is a catch. These discs are as highly important. I mean the data on them. What I need is to convert the current Linux system to a virtual machine, or re - install Linux on a virtual machine (don't like that), then connect the physical disks to the virtual machine as if they were actually connected.

  I certainly don't want to vmware touches those disks somehow.

  I've read the documentation, but I'm a noob when it comes to server virtualization and system engineering and don't quite understand if this is possible or not. These discs are not a SAN, they are physically connected to the server, I want to install vSphere on. (Of course, I'll log out when I run the setup of vSphere. But I need plug them again later, and they need to be sure that vmware will leave them alone and pass them to the virtual machine transparent.)

  Sigmoid wrote:

  Oh yes, the cluster mirrored ZFS. It is essentially a software RAID type thingie.

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS

  A material, or the point of view of virtualization, it appears two hard drives with a single huge partition on each that is not transparent to anyone, except the implementation of ZFS.

  OK, means that you can break the RAID, connect the drives to different host and configure RAID once again, right?

  Let's do it this way

  1. We will need a disc player more for VM, cause on flash, we install ESXi
  2. I will share ZFS :-), all you need to do with that before you install ESXi
  3. make the BACKUP!
  4. Disconnect the data host drives
  5. install ESXi 4.1 U1 free version on flash
  6. Download the site VMware vSphere client
  7. Connect the VM disk to ESXi
  8. customer help create the virtual machine and install the OS on it
  9. stop the virtual machine and esxi
  10. connect DATA drives to the ESXi host
  11. begin to ESXi
  12. See how to add RDM on youtube, after client use, change first hardware VM--> add a new hard disk--> choose Raw Device Mapping--> (physical or virtual) mode--> store it with folder VM - FACT
  13. Start the virtual machine, now your VM should see both drives, with good data course :-)

  I have just made this procedure (add ROW with data in Linux VM) on ubuntu VM, works well

  See you soon

• How can I move the "Virtual Machines" folder to the My Documents folder?

  VMwareFusion is to put the "Virtual Machines" folder in the Documents folder in the home folder (/users/ [username] / Documents), how can I move elsewhere (as/Library/Application Support)? The user Documents folder is not the right place for automated it system files, it is intended for personal documents.

  
  

  I am running VMware Fusion on OS X Yosemite (and the virtual machine is Windows 7).

  You can keep your virtual machines anywhere you want. Here are the steps to move:

  1 exit VMware Fusion. You can stop first of all of your running virtual machines.

  2. drag your virtual computers folder or the individual VM "files" where you / them. Filenames usually end in ".vmwarevm". There is no need to call the new folder "Virtual Machines" - you can call it anything you like.

  3. Launch VMware Fusion. If the library of the Virtual Machine window is not open, open it (Windows menu-> Virtual Machine library).

  4. ensure that all of your icons for the virtual machine are light gray and say "file not found".

  5. right click on each virtual machine in turn, and select Remove. When you are done, leave the window of Machine virtual library empty open.

  6. in the Finder, drag the icons of file virtual machine in their new location and drop them in library of virtual machines VMware Fusion window. Drop them one by one in the original order, you got, or rearrange icons later.

  7. run your virtual machines as before.

  When you create new virtual computers, navigate to the desired file before the Save.

  IMPORTANT NOTE: If you your folder of Machines ~/Documents/Virtual excluded from backups Time Machine, don't forget to change the exclusion to the new folder.

  Time Machine backups are not reliable for virtual machines. You must have another strategy. (I shut the virtual machine down, compress the 'file', and then move the compressed file to a folder that is included in the Time Machine backups. This isn't the only strategy, but it works for me.)

• Cannot add to the inventory if virtual machine running on the other guests - iSCSI and VMFS5

  5.5 ESXi hosts free standalone version

  iSCSI mounts with multiple paths - relatively new unit with more modern hardware

  CHAP not used

  I'm running a few hosts in order to climb the same iSCSI data stores. The iSCSI LUN is visible and editable by all hosts. If Host1 is to map the iSCSI LUN (VMFS5) and a VM is powered, Host2 can add that VM to the inventory. It's possible with NFS iSCSI for a reason any. This is for a specific reason? Only when I turned off the virtual computer can I add it to both hosts. Other that just lock files are placed in the directory, I missed something related to the lock?

  From now on, adding new esxi hosts does not allow me to add existing virtual machine, less than the voltage first. Once again, NFS does, iSCSI, this isn't. Any ideas?

  It is not specific to ISCSI but rather to the use of VMFS. NFS has no awareness VM VMFS is and why it is not possible to do that with iSCSI / VMFS. There is a lock on the disk for each virtual machine of (race), and that's why the second host is not able to add this host to its inventory. With vSphere HA, this lock is released when a failover should occur.

• Can not power on virtual machines "cannot access the file because it is locked.

  Virtual machines have been working well - then the storage system is down.  After the storage system returns upwards that I can't turn on a number of virtual machines.  Get this error when I try to turn it on:

  Cannot power on vmname on esxhostname.xxxxx.com. Unable to access file < unspecified file name > because it is locked
  error

  1. To check the locks on the Service Console on non ESXi servers, run the command:

     lsof | grep

     COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE SIZE NŒUD NOM_PERIPHERIQUE
     71fd60b6-3631 root 4r REG 0.9 10737418240 23533

     Note: If there is no Console of Service process the locking file, you should receive no printed output. If you receive results, however, file a support request to identify the process and to determine the causes.  If it is a third-party process, however, contact the appropriate provider to determine the cause before you kill the process ID, because it can happen again in the future.

     Stop the process and the lock ID using the kill command. In the example above, the process ID is 3631:

     kill the 3631

     After the termination of the process, you can try to turn on the virtual machine or access the file resource.

  2. To check if the virtual machine is always a world ID assigned, run these commands on all ESX/ESXi hosts:

     CD/tmp
     VM-support - x

     Available to debug worlds:
     WID =

     On the ESX/ESXi host where the virtual machine still works, kill the VM, which releases the lock on the file. To kill the virtual machine, run the command:

     VM-support - X

     Where the is the ID of the world of the virtual machine with the locked file.

     Note: this command takes 5-10 minutes to complete. Answer No to "can I include a screenshot of the virtual machine", and answer Yes to all subsequent questions.

     After the termination of the process, you can turn on the virtual machine or access the file resource.

  Deleting the file .lck (NFS only)

  The virtual machine files can be locked via NFS storage. You can identify this as reported by .lck files. # (where # is the ID of the world that holds the lock file) at the end of the file name. It is a NFS file lock and appears only when you use the ls command as it is the hidden file.
  Beware: they can be removed safely only if the virtual machine is not running.

  Note: VMFS volumes have no .lck files. The locking mechanism for VMFS volumes is managed within VMFS metadata on the volume.

  You must kill the process that is locked, if it is not the case, you probably need to restart the VMware host.
  I tell you from experience most likely end up rebooting it.

• How can I get a virtual machine to see the graphic material?

  Environment:

  1. I use a computer HP Pavilion dv8327us laptop is equipped with a nVidia GeForce Go 7600 graphics card.

  2. I am running VMWare Workstation 7.x

  3. I'm under Ubuntu 10.04 as a virtual machine.

  4. I am running Windows XP Pro SP3 as the host machine.

  Location:

  1. the virtual machine seems not to be able to use advanced graphics card features.

  2. the VM sees the card as a SVGA II adapter.

  3. the virtual machine can't determine the system LCD screen refresh rate.

  4. the virtual machine can't do use an external display.

  Workarounds failed:

  1. an attempt to solve this problem by installing the latest nvidia 260.19.44 graphics driver failed. The installation of this driver has resulted in an error message indicating that no supported hardware can be detected. The conclusion I draw from this is that either or however the machine emule virtual graphic adapter in the system is not quite the same as what is emulated.

  Question:

  1 is wrong to think that we could install drivers of graphics cards in a virtual machine and wait to turn the virtual machine to see the graphics card in the same way as the host machine? If Yes, then how can we do?

  2. is it possible for a virtual machine to use an external monitor?

  Thank you.

  Virtual machines have graphics cards ATI and NVIDIA - or else.

  Use of virtual machines VMware SVGA 2 cards - support or VMware SVGA cards with 3 d

  You need the drivers included in the vmware-tools - install other drivers is the sabotage of the machine virtual and not useful!

• Rename all the virtual machine files in the data store

  Hello

  We have renamed one of the name of the server of our virtual machine running on esx3.5. In addition, we have renamed this server in VC to reflect the new name of the server. Please tell us how we can rename all files in this virtual machine residing in the data store to reflect the new name of the server.

  Appreciate your quick response.

  Thanks in advance...

  You can use sVMotion and move it to another data store or migrate from cold.  Two tasks will rename the underlying set of files.

• What is the rate of transmission between the virtual machines connected to the same virtual switch?

  Hi guys,.

  I am trying to determine if the rate of data transmission between virtual machines connected to the same virtual switch is equivocal to 10 GB ethernet or faster.

  If it's the same vSwitch in the same ESX, should be the speed of the bus
