• Difference between the hosts and virtual machines

  Happy new year!

  I guess that's a stupid question, but I don't know the answer to it.

  I created pools from VM. Some jobs in the pool are hosts and some virtual machines. What is the difference between the hosts and virtual machines. I thought I could only create virtual machines, but I guess I could create hosts as well. -What happened?

  Thanks for your help.

  where does say desktops are hosts?  A host is usually referring to an ESXi server.  A virtual machine is just the guest OS running on the host computer.  A pool is a group of VMs that can extend over several hosts.

• NAC and virtual machines on a pc

  Hi all,

  Is any one know if when a computer is connected to the network using the cisco or the web agent and he spent the authentication process, the user suddenly starts a virtual machine with a different operating system (linux, windows, etc.) the NAC solution will recognize this "new computer" and enter the process of authentication and sanitation?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Traffic from the virtual machine OS will have a different MAC address than the host operating system. That's why NAC will detect it as a new device.

  If you inband, the virtual machine will go threw the authentication without disturbing the host operating system.

  If you are using out of band, the switchport will change to the authentication vlan and the BONES will have to go threw to new authentication

• Virtual Center and Virtual Machines do feed not on after outage

  Hello-

  Over the weekend, we had a power outage in our data center which resulted in the loss of power to our HP blades that make up our ESX cluster.  Power was restored after a few minutes, and fed up ESX Server, VirtualCenter, which works as a virtual machine, does not, no has yet no virtual machines.

  Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might have happened?   For storage, we have an HP EVA SAN fiber.

  Any ideas are greatly appreciated-

  Hello.

  If electricity is cut to the complete chassis, and all went down at the same time?  "If so, you might want to look into the Virtual Machine start/stop" settings for your hosts and see if the settings are configured the way that you expect to be.

  Good luck!

• G50 - 70 Wireless does not not at startup and virtual machine

  Hello

  IM here.im again faced a problem in wireless.i can not access my lenovo g50 - 70 bluetooth, wifi at startup (live cd) and in virtual machine.please help its really annoying...

  Hi Angad,

  Welcome to Lenovo Community!

  According to the request, we understand that you are facing problem with wireless does not not on your laptop G50-70.

  If Device Manager check the wireless device is detected, also check in the BIOS if the WIFI is enabled.

  Check if there is no exclamatory mark in wireless devices.

  Also check if there is software installed access connection.

  I hope this helps. Post back if the problem persists!

  Best regards

• Script to collect some statistics on hosts and virtual machines

  I'm trying to accomplish to get the following statistics, put into a script.

  When I run this script, it must be run by "vcenter" and result the following items.

  The cluster name / number of hosts / number of computers models and virtual / assigned the total memory of all the virtual machines on the cluster (not what is actually to be in use)

  Thus, for example, in the XYZ group with 4 guests, if I have 20 MV that I have 4 GB of RAM for each virtual machine, the output should be 80 GB

  XYZ 4 20 80 GB

  I suspect that you forgot the Select at the end in order to recover the amount.

  @{N = 'CPU'; E = {}

  Notice-EEG-Id (Get-View-Id $_.) ExtensionData.Host - VM property | %{$_. VM}) - property 'Config.Hardware.NumCPU ' |

  %{$_. Config.Hardware.NumCPU} | Measure-object-sum |  Select - ExpandProperty sum}},

• 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

• VCAC annotations and virtual machine

  I'm currently updating a set of annotations for each virtual computer I create.  If I implement VCAC, VCAC update these for me when it provisions a virtual machine?

  I did it for a client.  Presents several options for tag for VM via options in lists attributes drop-down vCAC which corresponds to labels for each attribute defined in vCenter - these values passed to a workflow of vCO as input parameters, and used in a PowerCLI via PowerShell vCO Plugin script.

  The screenshot shows the script powerCLI, I used to put 8 annotations on a configured virtual machine.

• ESXi and virtual machine CPU cores

  The question I would ask is the ESXi processor cores and relationship of the virtual machine CPU. Is it recommended to assign some carrots to VM (this is assuming that the VM needs CPU extra for reasons of performance)? We will use the following example. If the host ESXi lies the VM has 40 cores of the processor is recommended to assign carrots in 2, 4, 8 format to the virtual machine? And that's okay assign 6 since 40 is not divisible by 6.

  jrmunday: when it comes to carrots vs sockets, they are there for purpioses licenses, other than one vcpu is a vcpu

  soda: each kernel is a vcpu, so you should not worry of the underlying hardware and the divisibbility... It is not a mathematical formula to be used on the basis of underlying archatecture. the only reason underlying archatecutre would be important is VCA differences, not the underlying differences.

• List of instant and virtual machines in need of consolidation?

  In the vSphere client 5, it is possible to display all the VM in need of consolidation. In PowerCLI, I can't find this option.

  Is it possible to list all the VM who have snapshot in need of Consolidation?

  It is not (yet) available in the regular cmdlets, but it's pretty simple display this as a calculated property.

  Get-VM | Select Name,
  @{N="Needs Consolidation";E={$_.ExtensionData.Runtime.consolidationNeeded}}
  

  And a Variant perhaps useful, only list virtual machines in need of consolidation of the snapshot.

  Get-VM | where {$_.ExtensionData.Runtime.consolidationNeeded} | Select Name
  

• 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.

• Space disk in VMware player management and virtual machines

  I have VMware Player installed on a computer with Windows 7.  I installed VMware Player on the C drive where Windows resides. I have a VM installed, which is Ubuntu 10.4LTS.  My hard drive is 250 GB.  DRV is about 47GB and about 9 GB is free.  The rest of the hard drive is not allocated.

  If I install any addition of VM, looks like I may need to extend C to enlarge.  Or, if I add the partitions via the host OS, i.e. of Win 7, can I appoint a different partition during the installation of another virtual machine?

  I hope I have it clear.  If this isn't the case, please ask for clarification.

  Also, could I have installed VMware Player on one partition other than C

  When I initially installed it?

  You can uninstall VMware Player WITHOUT damaging your existing virtual machines.  Then you could go ahead and create a new partition and then re-install VMware Player, then move the virtual machines on the new partition and then reopen.

• Question about snapshots and virtual machines

  Hi all

  I have a small question about snapshots. I use VMware for about 6 months and I read about snapshots and how they work but still have a question to make sure that I understand how it works and it will work the way I think it works.

  I have a Windows 2003 server, which is a virtual machine. I have an application that uses MSDE database. I want to upgrade the database to MS SQL 2005, but to do this I need to back up the MSDE database, uninstall MSDE, and then install SQL 2005 and move the SQL database. This happens on the same VM.

  What I was thinking if I well Snapshots correctly is to snap turned the virtual machine before doing anything. Then do my upgrade steps and see if everything works. If its all messed up so I should be able to return to my shot and everything should be the way he had. What is the good? One of the main reasons I moved the server VM was because of this upgrade.

  After reading the documentation for the snapshots, it's how I undestood it. Pretty much any change could be reversed with snapshots. I wish just they had put in a few examples in the PDF file. Also it would be the same for all type of grades of the OS? Could I snapshot a Windows 2000 Server, and then "in the upgrade of the square" to Windows 2003? I've cloned a VM to do this but was curious about whether snapshots would be just as easy.

  Thanks for your help.

  Exactly the same thing for the upgrades of the OS.

  Perhaps the most important thing with the snapshots is to keep an eye on them and don't let them sit too long or become too big.  You have described the use cases are very good uses for snapshots.  Just make sure you have a solid plan with a schedule set, so that you can come back or validate changes before the snapshot becomes too large.

  Good luck!

• ESX, ESXi and vCenter and virtual machines

  Hello all - I need to re - certify my VCP this month so I decided to sit down this weekend to set up a virtual lab.  I managed to get ESX, ESXi and vCenter working all in s vm on my laptop in less than 4 GB.  I use Player version 3 for now.  I have Workstation 6.5 but I have to spend my VCP to get a key of 7 workstations and improve it.

  The manual is a bit long, but here is the link if you are interested.  I'll update everything to Workstation 7 after my review.  I hope that some of you find it useful!

  Nice - Thanks for posting.

  I doubt that you must update for Workstation 7 as VMplayer 3 is nothing else than a torn Workstation 7. It has the same basic functionality.

  So, nothing will be different if you use Workstation

  By the way - Starwind is really nice simulate a San.

  Another interesting thing, that you know may not...

  It is possible to assign up to 8 GB of RAM to your virtual ESXs, even if the host itself has only 4 GB of RAM.

  For this I have

  prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = 'TRUE '.

  prefvmx.minVmMemPct = '5 '.

  in the file config.ini from the host. Do not run and then

  Using this trick, I was able to run 4 ESX virtual machines on my laptop 4 GB RAM running 2 k 3-32 bit host

• ESXi 4 hosts and virtual machines with domains and different IP addresses

  Hello, I hope someone can shed some light on this problem.

  I have an ESXi host.  It is in the 'AREA A' and has an IP address like 204.75.225.6.

  Is it possible to use the tool VMware P2V Converter some servers that are located in one field other than ESXi host and have different IP addresses?

  Example: VM candidate: in "AREA B" with IP address 192.168.1.56.

  Both domains trust each other.

  Y at - it a tip to configure the network settings on the host to allow that?

  I currently have 2 vSwitches.  One for the management network and the other is for the traffic of the virtual machine.

  Firewall?
