• What is the type of object to use for virtual machine model in the Points of Extension?

  Hello

  I added my plugin point of extension vsphere.core. ${objectType} .monitorViews. My plugin is for all types of objects (vm, file, vApp, resourcePool, etc) except the model of the virtual machine. My understanding is that the vm object type would be required for the virtual machine template, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Am I missing something here? Should the plugin appear for the model of the virtual machine when I use the vsphere.core.vm.monitorViews extension point?

  Thanks in advance.

  Kind regards

  Sorry, I got confused by your original question. ExtensionPoint id you are looking for is the one for adding views a model virtual machine monitor tab:

  model.monitorViews vSphere.Core.

• Problem with the mouse and the network after the upgrade VMware Tools and hardware to virtual machine

  Hello world...

  I just upgrade my ESX 3.5 servers to vSphere 4.1. All this work is very well with the upgrade right now.

  After that, I tried to mise a niveau of VMware Tools and hardware of VM for my virtual machine and the problems started.

  I tried with two different VM (the two Windows 2003) and the problem appears for the two VM.

  I don't want to test another VM of the different operating system now, I'm afraid to go too far with update of Pentecost the problem I have now.

  I tried two VM to be sure that the problem is not only on a virtual machine.

  First of all, the mouse.

  My mouse has jerky movement. The button works, but sometimes I have to click several times to select what I want.

  I tried to uninstall the mouse in Device Manager and reinstall, but not really Pentecost improvement which (buttons works better, but... not so sure).

  Second problem.

  After you restart the server after VMmware tools and hardware virtual machine, the network link not working anymore.

  When I go to my network card configuration, IP settings are reset in DHCP mode.

  If I go again all my IP settings, Windows says:

  The IP address is hidden from the network and Dial-up connections

  folder because it is not physically in the computer or is a riser

  It does not work. If the same address is assigned to both adapters and

  they become active, only one of them will use this address. This may result

  in the incorrect system configuration. You want to enter a different IP address

  address of this adapter in the list of IP addresses for this card in the list

  Advanced IP address in the dialog box

  If I answer Yes to this, I have to enter a new IP address, and of course, this is not what I want to do.

  If I don't answer, the network working again.

  I think it is a strange message but the work of the vSphere maybe network now.

  Anyone have any idea why my work network and mouse as this upgrade after.

  All other VM that is not upgraded so far works great.

  Thanks in advance...

  (1) make sure that your hardware acceleration is safe enough. I got the upgrade down my hardware acceleration several times already.

  (2) sounds like the new drivers for your NIC cards took over and VMware is basically a new card NETWORK for you. Follow these steps to disable it:

  (a) open a command prompt

  (b) type (without quotes): 'set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1' and press ENTER.

  (c) type (without the quotes): "start devmgmt.msc"

• Catch22, how to change the settings for VirtualCenter, running as a virtual machine

  I'm running as a virtual machine under ESX 3.5 VirtualCenter. I want to change the setting of this virtual machine, but of course, the only way to change many parameters of a virtual computer is to stop the guest OS. I just changed the type of NIC on all my virtual machines, except VirtualCenter, using this procedure:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1007195

  I want to change the adapter for VirtualCenter to improve vmxnet as well. How to work around the Catch22 needing VC running to change virtual machines but requiring judgment VC to edit it?

  Laughing out loud

  Shut down the virtual computer. Open the VI Client and instead of the IP address / hostname of the VC Server enter the IP address / hostname of the ESX host. You must use an ESX account for it! If in doubt try then the VM VC is still under way.

• ESXi 5.5 - Virtual Machine fails to PING the gateway and/or other hosts

  Hello ladies and gentlemen

  I have installed HP DL380p Gen8 1 with vmware ESXi 5.5.

  I have 1 with 2 vmnic Virtual Machine port group - vmnic0 and vmnic1 connect 2 virtual machines. If I have the TEAM network cards, a VM (selected) randomly is able to PING to the gateway while the 2nd VM is not. ESXTOP in this case, don't watch not the physical NETWORK card that each virtual computer connects to but says 'all' to the title of the team-TEDDY.

  If I break the team and you use only vmnic0 - none of the VMs connet to the gateway. If I create the vSwitch with only vmnic1 as usable NIC (vminc0 - unused) - once again only 1 VM (randomly chosen) is able to PING the gateway while the other is not (and two VMS use vmnic1 as the uplink to the vNIC).

  The physical ESX host connects to a Catalyst Cisco 2950 switch.

  Can you please advise where can I go from here? It could be a problem with the VLAN when it comes to vmnic0 (since none of the virtual computers are able to connect through this vmnic), but what is happening with vmnic1 (a virtual machine connects randomly while the other doesnot)...?

  I tried several forums without success.

  Managed to solve this one-

  1. The uplink switch (Catalyst 2950) was Port security enabled on all THE Ports.
  2. I had to disable the port on a given set of ports security (to which are connected the physical network adapters).

  Everything seems to work fine now.

  Bravo to all the entries!

• Attempt vSwitch configuration change and now the ESXi host and virtual machines offline

  So I have no doubt, I have myself to blame for this one. I was trying to change my vSwitch from 100 Mbps to 1000 Mbps when an 'operation timed' error out jumps-to the top and my vCenter Server lost connection with my ESXi host. I tried to restart the host manually, but that did not help. The host is not the ping requests and all the virtual machines on that host are offline; None of them vMotion off to my other ESX Server.

  I tried to reconnect the host computer in vCenter, but it is obviously does not connect because it can't ping it. I logged the ESXi console and all the network settings appear to be correct. I'm used to connect to the ESX console where you can execute commands, but it's my first ESXi host, so I don't know what I can do.

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  -D.

  If you had your management port and VMs on different vSwitches / NIC leave on framework would eliminate a false positive. As in your case the management port reportedly follows the cable / about speed, but the virtual machine network would be intact (and I'm assuming that your storage space as well).  In this case the VMs system would have worked very well even if the management port did not work.

• vSphere sdk api to get the total memory available for booking of virtual machine

  What vsphere sdk api should I use to get the total memory available to make reservations for virtual machines?

  Here's what I see in the VI client,

  Click on hos-> Configuration:

  Memory

  Physics

  Total xx

  System xx

  VMS 3512,0 MB

  Service xx console

  Now, when I click on the resource allocation tab I see

  3348 MB memory reservation

  Memorey reservation used: 0 MB

  Unreserved memory: 3348 MB

  The question is what value is correct and which are programming API to get all these values (even if it is wrong)?

  If you are familiar with the vSphere API, the easiest way is to browse through the documentation of API reference: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/index.html and/or using the CROWD (object browser), once you explore a bit, you will begin to understand where some properties of what you see on the vSphere Client

  For the configuration of host memory, take a look at: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.host.MemoryManagerSystem.ServiceConsoleReservationInfo.html

  To the memory of VM host accessible to the general public, take a look at: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.ResourceAllocationInfo.html

  To get information "Resource allocation", you must get a reference to the list of local resources for your host: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.ResourcePool.ResourceUsage.html#reservationUsedForVm

  Even if you do not have a "Resource Pool", there is a defect which still exists. This should get your started

• Advantages and disadvantages of the use of the same network card to the network management and production (all my virtual machines) VLAN?

  Hello

  I have an ESXi. The management network and the virtual machines vlan through the same network adapter.

  What the disadvantages are to do?

  Can you help me please?

  Thank you in advance,

  Kind regards

  Garish

  Well well, in this case. This is a perfect case of SPOF, try to reach NIC teaming to avoid this.

  At least two cards physical network is necessary in your hardware ESXi host to do.

• go esxi hosts and virtual machines in one vCenter to another

  I built a new vCenter (Windows vCenter), I intend to move on ESXi hosts the old vCenter (Virtual appliance vCenter) to the new vCenter. I don't know if it's feasible, please notify my step is correct or not: 1) build a new vcenter 2) create a cluster with two esxi hosts first 3) Mount data (NetApp Filer Storage) to the new vCenter warehouses 4) add an empty host for the new vCenter VMs) 5 download then upload to the host in new vcenter

  Hi friend

  Its doable without any problem.

  Please follow the procedure below.

  1 build a new vCenter (your first step is correct)

  2 creating a cluster (because it is new vCenter there will not be any available host.) That is why cluster creation wizard will not get to add in the new cluster host). While initially empty cluster would be created.

  3. once the cluster is created, immediately do a right-click on the cluster and add your hosts one by one. Not necessary to cancel the registration and the VM. Virtual machines will automatically be added who were there on the data store available with all guests.

  Don't forget,

  1. we do not mount any store data in vCenter, we assemble the data store on the host.

  2. If you mount the new data store (which did not exist before), you can mount once the new hosts are added to the new cluster. (Your SAN admin help)

  3. If you want to move your virtual machines from data store before the newly added/mounted data store, please SVMotion these virtual machines (by right-clicking on the VM > migrate > data store > select the data store that is new)... Please follow the same procedure for all virtual machines.

  4. you don't need to add empty hosts to the new cluster, add just as soon as all guests without you register VMs. Later, you can migrate to other store of data according to the requirement. NO need to download or download the VM.

  5. Please make sure that your ESXi hosts will be compatible with the new vCenter. Old version of ESXi always compatible with the new version of vCenter. Just check if you have all valid licenses.

  Please let me know if you need any clarification

• removal of large size of virtual machine snapshot, esxi 4.0.0 (208167)

  Dear Experts,

  I am looking for assistance before you do this step, remove the snapshot of a virtual machine (NNMi-Test), 100 GB thick disk has been assigned to this virtual machine when it is created. After the installation of the operating system, we took a snapshot. Explained user had to test something on this one and we wanted as if during the tests of some problem occur due to the facilities at least that we can return to the fresh install of OS snapshot.

  After that we missed by mistake that we had seen on this machine. Now I want to delete this single snapshot, but its size is now KB 26,182,660. The current state of the machine, we want to keep, it's OK with us.

  I can proceed without fear of deleting, I should say 'remove all' OR 'delete '. Image is attached here with. This machine is the "EVAstorage2" data store and 193 GB is free on this subject.

  There is another virtual host below computers run on it, I also need help with clichés:

  -machine virtual (NNMi) , assigned to 150 GB thick disk, also have same instant problem has been created and it is now 7.7 GB,.

  This machine is on "EVAstorage1" and is 221GB free space

  -virtual machine (Bukhari), assigned thick 150 GB, also named snapshot after operating system installation and size soft

  this wink, shot is now showing only 128GB

  I have attached the images of the three machines I need assistance for: NNMi-Test, NNMi Bukhari

  Please note that the Esxi is 4.0.0 (208167)

  Please help me and require further details before giving an answer to me, please ask me. Also, keep in mind there are also other virtual machines on the same 'EVAstorage1' and 'EVAstorage2' data with disk available warehouses thin and little with thick disk.

  Kind regards

  Jocelyn

  The GUI seems to check the hard of the last snapshot file in the chain to see if it contains an entry "ddb.thinProvisioned". Because this entry is present in the hard disk basic GUI file guess a thick disc put into service.

  I suggest that you remove the snasphot of a single virtual machine at the same time and that after opening hours. Please make sure that there are no application backup or other task that would try to create a snapshot of this machine that performs the erase process.

  I wouldn't worry too much about the size of the snapshot or any performance impact, just be patient and wait as the deletion process at the end (which could take a while).

  The maximum required temporarily on the disk with a single snapshot is about the size of the snapshot itself more space for a snapshot of assistance, which contains changes to the virtual machine, while the removal is underway.

• Confused by the strategy of allocation of ram ESX virtual machines

  Hello

  I have a "MS SBS 2003 R2 premium" production virtual machine running on ESX 3.5.0 build 123630: VM has 4 GB of allocated RAM.

  On this virtual machine, all processes are running (IE exchange, sql server, antivirus, antispam, mail, archiving,... etc.) and some of them are performing badly (especially exchange and sql mail archiving database); While working on the optimization with the machine to a single application they analized the use of resources within SBS 2003 and told me that there is not enough RAM (only 300 M. By the way it seems to me that on an OS Server using a lot of free ram is a waste of resources, but it is another point...).

  Looking at the windows Task Manager (see attached screenshots) is confirmed, but control use of RAM for RAM usage average VM (with infrastructure VI client) is between 1 and 1.5 GB during working hours (09:00 - 20:00).

  I'm confused: If there are so many processes within the VM asking for memory, why ESX gives only a third of the RAM allocated to the VM? And as all the other 3 GB, are they paged to disk?

  Thanks in advance to help my understanding.

  Guido

  Don't forget the vmkernel activiely tries to save on the memory usage - the tool is Transparent PAge Sharing - ability to the vmkernel to identify identical memory pages and store it once read only memory - so you could very easily have guest o/s of the virtual machine showing that it is using 4 GB but the esx server is only show that vm use - less

  Now on your poor perfromance - what is the configuration of your server ESX - memory, CPU? How many virtual machines are hosted, and what are the respective configurastions - mem, # viretual UC? With a large file of the PAge check the performance graph and see how much memory ball is active, if any?

• How to reset the administrator password in my Windows XP Virtual Machine

  I just created a Windows XP virtual machine and have been using it without any problem.  Today, I started the machine and he asked an administrator password.  I believe that I have not set up one that I've never been asked before.

  How can I reset my password or I have to rebuild a new machine?

  Can I use a password reset utility?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Kind regards

  Doug U - M

  If an empty password does not work then you probably have to rebuild the virtual machine. This time, I recommend adopt you the practice of setting up a second admin account immediately and make a note of the password. It's the same when you buy a new car: you get at least two sets of keys.

  samardak,
  I think it's possible to pull this information from vFoglight. SOM of our API calls should remove this information of the Victoria Cross.
  That said, it would be wise to either contact your landlord account for assistance in the creation of this report.
