• How to create the new virtual machine vm existing in the data store on ESXI

  I have ESXi and couple of virtual machines.

  I have the vsphere client on Windows 7.

  I then deploy the ovf from the vsphere client vm and it began to import my VM 30 GB.

  In the morning, I realized my vm with a vmdk file file has been transferred in the data store

  But I couldn't see any virtual computer.

  Now I don't know how to turn on this vmdk file that is in my data store

• List virtual machines within a host, the data store and the specified how cluster?

  Hello
  I found the code shows but not able to understand. The exit is not what I want.

  Get-VM | Select Name, @{N="Cluster";E={Get-Cluster -Name "Site1UCSCluster01" }}, @{N="ESX Host";E={Get-VMHost -VM $_}},@{N="Datastore";E={Get-Datastore -VM $_}} |fl

  But, the exit wrong that these virtual machines do not reside on Site1UCSCluster01:

  Name      : CBEDM
  Cluster   : Site1UCSCluster01
  ESX Host  : Host1
  Datastore : CBEDM-DS3-R5
  
  Name      : CBEDMTest
  Cluster   : Site1UCSCluster01
  ESX Host  : Host2
  Datastore : CBTEST-DS1-R5

  Thanks for your help,

  So try like this

  $clusterName = "MyCluster" 
  
  Get-Cluster -Name $clusterName | Get-VM | Select Name, @{N="Cluster";E={$clusterName}},@{N="ESX Host";E={Get-VMHost -VM $_ | Select -ExpandProperty Name}},@{N="Datastore";E={Get-Datastore -VM $_ | Select -ExpandProperty Name}} |fl
  

• Move a virtual machine that has a raw lun mapped to SAN

  Dear all,

  I need expert advice for this case. I have a virtual machine on a host with esxi 4.0, but due to many machines same virtual host we are experiencing memory problems and have decided to move this virtual machine to another host with less VM and less use of resources.

  I plan 1 HR time to perform this task, this virtual machine have two drives one windows partition and the second 20 GB as mapped lun on SAN. So when you move it to another host, what I'll do is tap to stop the virtual machine, go to another host and storage switch to VM folder and add the VM.vmx file to add it to the inventory of the new host. What about the case of raw LUN mapped, how to take care of it.

  Please advise, it is little urgent.

  Thank you

  I guess there is no vCenter at stake here and you have no option for vMotion? The RDM, I would like to stop the virtual machine, detach the RDM LUN, migrating the virtual machine and re - attach the RDM.  As long as the two hosts can see SAN/RDM, you should be good with that.

• How to remove a virtual machine that has lost the storage

  Hello

  I want to remove the drive a virtual machine that has lost its storage. This storage kept OS files and so on. The problem is that because it is lost I can't access most options since they are grey (eg. delete disk). I can't get out of the inventory, but I want to remove it completely. It is impossible to recover the storage that was missing. What is a way to remove it?

  Thanks adavance

  It's because everything else for the virtual machine has been wrapped in storage.

• Storage vMotion a VM except disk that is in another data store

  Hello

  I'm looking to convert a large number of virtual machines clones related to thick.  I decided the best way to do this is probably a simple a storage vMotion, but all the virtual machines have a secondary drive that is in another data store.  I have to make sure that disk #2 stays at its current location, while the machine virtual (Config and disk #1 files) are transferred to a new data store data store.

  I figured out how to move a virtual machine complete or a single disc but not a virtual machine under a disc.  I am able to make it through the advanced options of puissancela vSphere client so I guess it is techinically possible.

  Pointers or other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Kind regards

• Could not start the new virtual machine or VM remove a data store

  Hi guys,.

  I'm not new with ESXi, but my knowledge with vCenter and Clustering must be improved, so here's my problem.

  We have a Cluster of 2 ESXi 4.1 hosts on a San with 2 VMFS.

  My first problem is when I created a new virtual machine and try to start it, I got an error message similar to the one included with this post.

  My Second problem is more picky. Since I am unable to start my new virtual machine, I had removed from drive and I had created a new. But when I took a peek in the data store where was deleted VM, the directory with all the files are still there. When I try to delete it, I got an error message telling me that it is impossible to proceed.

  Q please?

  Best regards

  Stéphane

  82% of failure can be other issues.  The article below

  Also, I saw, where bad records DB for your ESXi hosts can cause weird problems as well.  The host with the problematic guest, can you do a right click on it and "disconnect"?  Try to get out of the bunch at the data center level.  If you get an error vCenter, that means return folder DB.  From there, while the host is in a disconnected state, remove the host to vCenter, then "add host". This will update the DB record.  Maybe worth it?

• Move virtual machines from a to another data store

  Is there a recommended (or integrated) way to move propelled out of virtual machines from a data store? Or is it a cut simple and working of dough which can be done from any client PC connected to the underlying storage providers?

  If both, store data Source and Destination are connected to the same server vCenter, do Storage vMotion. Make a right-click VM--> migrate--> change of data store and select the Destination data store.

  Any ideas?

  Yes, it has no function of gift in the Mac App Store. You can use the iTunes app to buy a gift certificate e-mail for an amount close to the price of the app. Or you can buy and send an iTunes Gift Card available in many stores the.

• Download of virtual machine using extremely slow browser data store

  Hello

  Why download VM files totalling nearly only 8 GB in vSphere Client v4.1.0 (from 4.1.0 ESXi) via a Gigabit LAN would take more than 1800 minutes (30 hours)? Well now after about 5-10 minutes to download, it is said 1560 minutes but still, why is it so slow? I thought that perhaps is that the estimated time remaining is miscalculated, but this isn't the case. The download is just extremely slow.

  Not only that but vSphere Client (VpxClient.exe) constantly uses 25-45% of my cycles while all CPU's do the downloading of files. This slows down the PC I am running vSphere Client. The local network on the server and the client connections are Gigabit too.

  UPDATE: download time now has increased up to 1924 minutes back and it becomes difficult to use my PC for e-mail in Outlook, etc. because vSphere Client seems to use as many cycles CPU.

  UPDATE 2: 2 hours for download via vSphere Client and remaining time jumped up to 2287 minutes. I'm going to cancel and try to download via the web browser interface.

  See the attached screenshots.

  Thank you

• Move a virtual machine in another data store

  Hello

  On our ESX 4, we have created pools of resources and multiple data on SAN warehouses.

  To move that a VM resource with Betclic is very easy, but howto move a virtual machine from a to another data store?

  If I understand your question you should migrate your VM to the different data store.

  Right-click on a virtual machine, select migrate..., select Change location of data, select the desired data store, select virtual disk format (end/thick)...

• Adding a virtual machine that has been previously saved

  Hello. I backed up a virtual machine that was running in an ESX (ESX n ° 1) and transfer all of its files in an a different ESX (ESX No. 2) data store. How should I add this VM in the new ESX (ESX No. 2)? I'm not using vCenter, I connect directly to the ESX Server via vSphere Client.

  The only way I found to do this is to create a new virtual machine in ESX No. 2, and when I add the new hard drive, I select the old VM hard. But this process is not so clean. For example, I read that if I used vCenter I'd be able to disconnect the server ESX n ° 2 of my datacenter and plug it back again, and when I do he added all the virtual machines that are within its data store automatically. The problem, as I said, is that I'm not using vCenter.

  Thanks in advance.

  Warlock.

  Once you access the data store and find the files, you can simply right click on the VMX file and select "Add to inventory."  This will allow you to add the virtual machine to your host without manually creating a new virtual machine and pointing to the existing VMDK file.

• movement of virtual machines on new server

  I'm fairly new to vmware and operate a very limited plant, but would like assistance.  I have the Essentials package and ESX 4.0 is running on a single server with the virtual machines stored on local hard disks.  I installed a new server ESXi 5.1 and local storage, and I need to move the virtual machines from the old server to the new server.  If it's important, the guest virtual machine operating system are a mixture of linux and windows.  What is the best method to move those VMs?

  Hello

  If you have the two host added to vCenter, you can turn off VMs and migrate virtual machines to another host and data store.

  Since you do not have a shared storage, you must turn off VM to change host and the data store.

  It doesn't matter what OS you are running on a virtual machine.

  Thank you

• Migration of virtual machines from a data store, and then delete the data store?

  Hello

  I have a future deployment this month and my Director wants to build a new RAID 6 array, create a store of data with the new table and then move all the VMS to the newly created data store.

  Then he asked me to take the old data store and remove it and the available space between the deleted data store and other stores of data in our shared environment. The question is when the new raid is created and vm has migrated to the new data store, which is the best way to remove the data store empty and make sure that the space available for other data stores? Any help would be appreciated...

  Greg ~.

  If all controls are met, you can go ahead and take it apart without any problem.

  I have re-iterate below checks:

  -No virtual machine is in the data store

  -The data store is not part of the cluster data store

  -The data store is not managed by the DRS storage

  -IGCS is disabled for this data store

  -The data store is not used for vSphere HA heartbeat.

  Especially highlighted 2 controls. Please note that SIOC can be enabled on the data without SDR photo store
