• Create the new virtual machine for Small Business Server 2008

  Hello

  When creating a new Machine virtual and choose the guest operating system, the "Small Business Server 2008" are not listed. Just choose "Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (64-bit)"?

  Thank you

  John

  Yes, it will work, and it is supported guest OS

  Edit: There is a bug in the user interface for the VIC, where probably 2008 will be displayed as Vista under the toolbar of guest operating system.

• vCenter log files entries for the new virtual machine or distributed groups of ports

  All,

  I can't find the entries for the new virtual machine or distributed groups of ports in the vpxd.log file.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  This kind of info are in the DB vCenter.

  Not in the logfile (used for debugging purposes).

• 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

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1006052

  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?

• . ISO is grayed out when you try to make the new Virtual Machine

  I recently downloaded fusion VM 5 and I am trying to make a virtual machine for windows 7 without using a disc. I use an .iso file that is saved on my mac. When I'm in the new virtual machine Wizard and go click win7.iso I can't because the text and thumbnail are grayed out and won't do anything. Help, please.

  The page you are showing has noting to do with the installation of an ISO Image, it takes to with the virtual hard disk.  The ISO Image is assigned to the CD/DVD in the settings of the Virtual Machine if you don't select it in the wizard at the beginning.

  Documentation (integrated help file).

  1 Select file > new.

  2 the new Virtual Machine Assistant starts.

  3 click on continue without disc to go to the installation media Panel.

  4 in the installation media Panel, click on the image or use operating system installation disc.

  5. use the drop-down menu to locate the file .iso for the operating system.

  6 click Open to identify the file and click on continue to go to control panel of the operating system.

• Create the new virtual machine using Java API vCloud

  Hi guys,.

  I am trying to create the new virtual machine in TIME, but I've stuck here. The API I'm using is vcloud-java-sdk - 1.0.jar.

  Could you please show me a code snippet how to do this?

  For now I do it like this:

  RecomposeVAppParamsType recomposeVAppParamsType = new RecomposeVAppParamsType();

  List the items < CompositionItemParamType > = recomposeVAppParamsType.getItem ();
  ReferenceType vappTemplateVMRef = new ReferenceType();

  // ??? seems that new reference to the new virtual machine should be here. But how to create this VM
  CompositionItemParamType compositionItemParamType = new CompositionItemParamType();
  compositionItemParamType.setSource (vappTemplateVMRef);

  Items.Add (compositionItemParamType);
  ReferenceType vAppRef is Vdc.getVdcByReference (vcloudClient, vdcRef) .getVappRefByName ("vApp_Websrv");.

  Vapp.getVappByReference (vcloudClient, vAppRef) .recomposeVapp (recomposeVAppParamsType);

  One day before I played with Web Services SDK, which is much easier to understand. I was able to create the vApp and VMs in vSphere. Is it possible to import machines virtual vSphere to vCloud? Should what API I use for this?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You cannot add a new empty virtual machine in a paralytic.

  Instead, you can add a virtual machine from an existing vapp, vapptemplate.

  To import a vsphere vm to vcloud.

  Import vsphere vm as VAPP in vcloud. VMWVimserver-> importVmAsVApp()

  The importation of vsphere vm, as vAppTemplate, in vcloud. VMWVimserver-> importVmAsVAppTemplate()

  See also the example of ImportVmAsvAppTemplate.java, which is part of the vcloudjavasdk group.

  Kind regards

• HDD USB not recognized as "physical1" when creating the new virtual machine

  Hi all

  I wanted to create a new virtual machine, and I wanted to use my USB as a physical drive.

  But Workstation shows me "physical0" which is of course my drive internal.

  I tried USB pen drives. They are not recognized either.

  This somehow is no longer supported? I would have that it would be possible to use USB external HDD as the physical drive to a new virtual machine.

  you have installed VirtualBox?

  If so, you can try to use the virtuaklbox command line tool to create a descriptor of rawdisk for this disc.

  say diskpart on this drive? -It is "online"?

• Defining the new Virtual Machine

  When you set the new Virtual Machine, what is the size of the virtual disk to specify? (Default value is 8GB) Should we check "Allocate all disk space now" option?

  No, this hard disk space actually leaves your portable office/computer hard drive free space.

  Look at your free space of the desktop and then add a new hard drive with 30 concerts or more.   Check again, and note that this space has disappeared.   Then you can just delete it and it comes back.

  Yes, just use the ' Add ' button.

  If you find this information useful, please give points of

  'correctness '.

  or "useful."

• OsCustomizationSpec and OSCustomizationNicMapping they are a good way to set up the new virtual machine for the model

  I build a script to generate auto magicly VM when I have import information from a csv file. I have the latest PowerCli, I am trying to build servers r2 Sever 2012 model.  I tried several OsCustomizationSpec (OCS) of in the hope of getting something to work, but I had no luck so far.  In VCenter, it shows that it applies the OCS, but is not apear to have an impact on the server.  I have disabled UAC since the last time that I tried it so maybe that will make a difference.  I am under ESXi 5.1 update 2, just to try to give all the necessary information.  Ideally, I'd like Sysprep, the value of intellectual property, change the computer name and join the server to the domain.  That's all! lol I have the book "VMware vSphere PowerCLI Reffernece, automating vSphere Administration, I walked through step by step.  The new version of PowerCli seems not have the x 86 limitation as earlier versions of PowerCli.  I tried so many different things, I'm not sure what to put in place as a starting point.

  # Save the object credentials with permission to join the domain.
  $DomainCredentials = get-Credential "domain\testername."
  # Clone our Spec by adding the domain information.
  $Spec = get-OSCustomizationSpec "Windows Server 2012 R2"
  $Spec += get-OSCustomizationNicMapping - Spec $Spec
  #$Spec | Select *.

  # Get our VM
  # Change network settings
  Get - VM BigServername | Get-NetworkAdapter | Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkName nic - 172.16.25 - VLAN225 - connected: $true '
  -Confirm: $false | out-null
  # Close the comments to make change.
  Stop-VMGuest - VM $VM - confirm: $false | out-null
  # Wait while feedback stops
  While ($vm. ExtensionData.Runtime.PowerState - not "poweredOff")
  {
  Start-Sleep - seconds 1
  $vm. ExtensionData.UpdateViewData ('Runtime.PowerState')
  }
  # Apply Spec customization to apply the new network settings
  Get - VM "BigServername" |
  Set-VM - OSCustomizationSpec "R2 Windows Server 2012" - confirm: $false |
  Start-VM

  I can rebuild the model, or something else, we must do this work.

  OR - is simply not the best way to configure the VM?  If not, what Sysprep?

  Good news, but first, I would really like to know where the log files are on which server to the OsCustomization process.

  I decided to reverse engineer and create a CSOS within vCeneter and once I got to work, I kept creating new CSO via PowerCli until I could get that to work, create a new virtual machine.  Once I got this to work, I have tryied to apply on a cloned vm, with no parameters. I got it works too.  I tried to go back to my original image, but I couldn't get this to work.  Something's wrong with this picture.  He wrath that the problem was related to the permissions on the local client.

  New OSCustomizationSpec - OrgName company OSType - Windows - ChangeSid-Server "vcenter.dom.com" - name PowerCliOnly4 - persistent administrator-Type FullName - AdminPassword! password123 - zone "Eastern (USA and Canada)" AutoLogonCount - 3 - domain dom dadmin - DomainUsername - DomainPassword! password123 NamingScheme - vm-Description "PowerCli Use only" - confirm: $false

  This seems to be very picky.  Because the area is one of the parameters, you cannot put it in the DomainUsername, no dom\dadmin. The part that I really want to know how to get more, is what happens if your vm has a different local administrator as the administrator account.  It turns out that FullName - is not the account that it to connect locally with tires.

  I think that it is good to know that the virtual machine reboot 4 or 5 times as it goes through this process.  It breaks is you try and do something for the virtual machine that interrupt the process.  I don't know that I'll think more questions in a second.

  In addition, it cost he had some problems with the put between quotation marks, single or double around the password, but I did not check this again, I just know that once I took them, he began to work.  I ran on other issues while testing as I was using a single IP address, so if I do not disable the test VM, the following would not work because of the conflct network, maybe I shouldn't admit that... lol

• Error during communication with the remote host when you create the new virtual machine

  I'm under 7 ESX servers on IBM Blade H22 there is a mistake to invite while I create a new virtual machine

  on the vcenter Server

  At the end of 30-35 minutes, it gives an error

  "Error during communication with the remote host"

  The existing machines are working well... I tried to create virtual machines to other ESX servers as well

  but the same question. I also tried to make the clone of existing machines, but without success

  Can anyone help?

  You rescan the LUNS once?

  You've restarted the management agent?

  You've restarted the vpxa?

  If this isn't the case, please perform the step above and check out them.

• How the scripts for the new virtual machine storage profile

  Hey all,.

  I have a long script that I've been put together so that our operations people size new virtual machines.  I ask a series of questions for such things as the VM name, cluster, VLAN, plug hardware, OS/template, etc.  I use LucD method to create a temporary copy of a customization OS specification to insert a static IP address.  I have everything works except that I can't figure out how this script drop-down list:

  

  vSphere 5.0, any VCD.  Looks like it should be pretty simple, but I can't find anything on how to do it.  It would be nice to choose this in the New - VM cmdlet somewhere, as well as the use of the GUI.  Any ideas?

  Throw a glance PowerCLI 5.8, when it is available, there is a charge storage profile cmdlets in there (as we showed in our VMworld session this week).

• Problem fixing existing vmdk to the new virtual machine

  Hello

  Just upgraded to Fusion 6 and things seem ok (except for the dreaded license bug, but it's ok now).

  I'm having a problem attaching a form of virtual disk existing a VM - operation - existing. Basically, all the vmdk files are grayed out and non-eligible, regardless of the option to share / copy / to support the disc.

  I checked that I have full R/W access to the fie (and it works fine if I fire up the other virtual machine).

  Any idea?

  Well I ended up adding another player new to the virtual machine, I wanted to and the drafting of the description of disk (Disk DescriptorFile #)

  in the manually - vmdk file works great...

• Deploy the new virtual machine with version 7 on vSphere HW 5

  Hello

  Is there a parameter / method of new virtual machines with the 7 deplpy (and NOT HW version 8) hardware on a vSphere host version 5?

  We currently have a mixed cluster (vSphere 4.0 U2 & 5.0 U1 Hosts) with activated automatic DRS.

  NB.  I found that 1.5 vCloud Director boasts a version of VM HW (v7 or v8) framework that is useful for mixed clusters. I hope that vSphere itself may have a similar setting.

  Yes, it is certainly possible. Simply select "Custom" in the "New VM" Wizard and you will be able to decide which version HW (7 or 8) you want to use for this virtual machine.

• Move the HARD drive to the new virtual machine

  I think it's a real simple question, so a simple answer is very well...

  I currently have a computer virtual running windows server 2003 x 86.  This whole system is on C: and the D: is strictly files/shared user.  I need to upgrade this server 2 k 8 R2 x 64.  My plan is to detach the D: to the x 86 box, create a new x 64 VM and reattach the D: from the old server and re-create the shares.

  My question is, when I do that, I would wait to see the security reset on the player?  As in the new operating system will reorganize the security on all of its default value...

  Other issues anyone do with it?  Simple enough?  It is about 300 GB of user data, so I'm just a little nervous about it.  (it is supported of course however).

  Thanks for any info!

  I think that when you remove the drive and re - join a new virtual machine, it will inherit the rights of the current operating system. It is the same concept as if you had a USB HDD shared, connected to a PC, removed and attached to another PC. You would lose your actions and all other settings.

  You should not have problems - make sure to note all the shared available on disk as well as any special permissions (as denies explicit for Active Directory).

• create the new virtual machine, access to a physical disk

  I just created a new virtual machine. Then, I deleted the preconfigured disk and added a physical disk. This drive is connected to my computer with an S - ATA to USB docking station. The wizard displays all of the data, were leaving and so on correctly. But when I try to turn on the virtual machine, it tells me that it cannot access the drive.

  What I am doing wrong?

  I use Windows 7 64-bit with VMware Player 3.
