Try copying the VMDK operating system of a virtual machine
I m trying to copy the OS vmdk to a VM with 2 also with the cmd - left hard drive copy.
When Itry to the following syntax:
copy-hard drive - HDD "[RZ1_FG34_Infrastruktur_B] uxms0005/uxms0005.vmdk"-DestinationPath "Klon/uxms0005klon.vmdk [RZ1_FG34_Infrastruktur_B] '.
I get an error:
CategoryInfo | : InvalidArgument: (:)) [copy-hard drive], ParameterBindingException) |
Thank you.
Hi, Lutz, Yes, you must use the get-hard way it returns only one of the discs you want: Get - hard - drive vSphere PowerCLI cmdlets reference
Like this for example:
Get - VM uxms0005 | Get-Harddisk? | { $_. Filename-match "uxms0005.vmdk"}
It must return a drive and you can run in your hard drive copy.

Hello
I wanted to run vista on the same computer; but on a virtual machine. I wanted to know if I should buy a seprate key. I was perplexed because it is on the same computer at home. I wanted to use it for personal use as run the operating system on the virtual machine for programs to avoid viruses and use it kind of like a backup. I asked around only to meddle with the answers. Many people need to know the right answer to this question. Oh guys please keep this thread alive for others!
Thank you

Change the operating system selected a virtual machine under tension in vCenter
Is this possible? I looked in the box change the Settings - Options - but I can't see the usual fall down?
You should turn off the machine.
If you have made a mistake by setting for 32-bit or 64 - bit or vice versa, it does not really affect the virtual machine.
If you have entirely changed the operating system, then you will need to power off and do it right that there is again a critical impact. the operating system you choose decides the type of SCSI controllers and things.
I suggest you set a stop and do time.

Manipulate the vmdk is attached to a virtual machine
I'm looking for an API or SDK or method or library or hack that will allow me to move the virtual disks between the virtual machines. I'm looking for a way to "detach" a VMDK to a VM (power off) and then "link" it to another virtual machine, which would then be able to read and write to and from the (virtual) disk, like his own boot disk? Something along the lines of: (Java psuedocode)
The API method you use is the ReconfigVM_Task - http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk41pubs/ApiReference/vim.VirtualMachine.html#reconfigure and who is a generic method on the reconfiguration of your virtual machine under the name of the States method. What you need to do as part of the reconfiguration, is to create a specification of deviceChange that performs a specific operation for the VMDK in question. You will perform a 'delete' operation that allows you to detach and you can then create a new file deviceChange for the virtual machine specifications in question perform an operation 'Add '.
Here's vSphere SDK for Perl script that implements the basic functionality that you can use as a reference

in fact, I want to install windows os (not authentic) because I'm fond of counter strike
so, mac support this game?
or it takes 8 GB ram to play counter strike?

If I install the windows on mac operating system, I will award 58 GB in the windows operating system and remains to mac, goes no problem in the future, due to the windows operating system?
ALSO POINT OUT THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF INSTALLING WINDOWS ON A MAC.
operating system Windows (not authentic)
This means that you ask for assistance on the use of a pirate copy of Windows?
If you install Windows, you have the advantage of being able to run Windows and the inconvenience of having to deal with all the viruses and stuff for which Windows systems are prone.
Why not just buy the Mac version? It seems relatively inexpensive: http://store.steampowered.com/app/730/

Hard drive partition and install the new operating system
HY,
If I partition my hard drive and I install a new OS (E.g. Ubuntu 14.04) my warranty ends?
Thank you
SA
Hello
No, it will not void the warranty but HP only supports the problems with the original operating system and prove the operation of the equipment of the original OS.
Do the recovery disks and keep them safe before so that you could go back to factory settings if there is no problem of partitioning.
Recovery partition usually works after partitioning, depends on your luck, but you could make the 'Active' Partition in disk management and try for recovery if it works or not.
Thank you

I want to try Ubunta as my operating system. Someone has already tried this and how is it?
If you want to try, there are various options partitions for you. One is to download the files and bvurn on a CD. Boot from the CD and choose to run Ubuntu from the CD. This method does not offer a realistic experience, but it allows you to try the look-and-feel.
Alternatively, you can install the virtualization software (Sun Virtual Box, for example) and install Ubuntu to.
Download files and check options here:
http://www.Ubuntu.com/download/Ubuntu/download
Do a Bing or Google search on 'install Ubuntu after Windows' for other information, including tutorials.

I have Vista 32 bit Home Premium.It does not support Windows Mail.Which is the best operating system to upgrade from Vista? Should I buy Windows 7, 8 or 8.1? I do not have a touch screen system, my system is five years old.
Original title: upgrade
Hello WilliamPopat,
If you want to buy an another operating system, you would do better to buy the latest version, i.e., Windows 8.1 it doesn't matter that you don't have a touch screen like Windows 8.1 will work just as well on a desktop PC / laptop normal.
However, before rushing and buying a copy of Windows 8.1, I suggest that you look at this link http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/11885-windows-8-upgrade-assistant-download-run.html the link above shows Windows 8 Upgrade Wizard you can download (free) and allows you to check that your PC is compatible with the latest version of Windows.
According to me, one of my office machines is around 5 or 6 years and Windows 8/8.1 works fine on it. However, it is best to check your own machine with the wizard upgrade just in case.
This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

Right click on my computer
(a) click on properties
(b) go to the Advanced tab
(c) click on settings under startup & recovery
(d) change the seconds to display the operating system to 0
(e) to the operating system you want to start the default operating system to help the drop drop-down
(f) click Ok

I would also ask you to contact the manufacturer of the hardware for the recovery media. You can also check if the system has a recovery partition, and if so, try to access, which will reinstall the original operating system.
