• vmreconfig.pl add a CD/DVD device will fail if the virtual machine created with vmcreate.pl

  I am trying to add a cdrom to my VM I created with the vmcreate.pl.

  When I use the script vmreconfig.pl to create the cdrom I get the following error...

  Cannot use a value that is not defined as a reference to a matrix to/usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps/vm /... AppUtil/VMUtil.pm line 898.

  OK so I have create a cdrom in vSphere and try again manually...

  Addition of the cd 'cd '...
  Virtual machine 'vmname4' is reconfigured successfully.

  OK, so I think that my VM I created with the vmcreate.pl missing the ide0: 0 or something...

  Any suggestions on how I can do this?

  I'm doing the following...

  1. create the virtual machine by using vmcreate.pl.

  2. Add the CDrom to the virtual machine using vmreconfig.pl.

  Thanks in advance.

  Just watched this.

  The vmreconfig.pl script does not handle the case of a device not defined in the VirtualIDEController object array.

  Look like the real device table is not defined until an IDE device is actually connected (or when a new IDE device is added).  I'm not 100% sure of what generates the actual peripheral table off the coast of the VirtualIDEController, but the case of a table of undefined device should be handled in the script to reconfigure.

  I can see the two solutions here, first write a custom script that adds the CDROM and manages this one-off case.  Then, modify the vmreconfig.pl script to handle this particular case of a painting of the disconnected device.

  In VMUtil.pm, you will find line number 929:

  My = $unitNumber $# {$controller-> device} + 1;

  This is to change:

  My = $unitNumber (set $controller-> device)? $# {$controller-> device} + 1:0;

  There may be other cases in the VMUtil.pm module that needs to be updated as well.  For this reason, it may be better to just write your own custom tool.  However, the simple correction above may let you go ahead with your project in the short term.

• I can run all the virtual machines (created with workstation) in VMWare player?

  Suppose I created a virtual machine in a Vmware Workstation 7.1 installation.

  Can I take all of this a virtual machine and run it on a VMware player installation?

  Or Vmware Workstation offers specific features that are required by the virtual machine to run successfully?

  Matt

  If,

  If you are using vmware player 3.x, you should have no problem.

  Do not forget that the workstation and vmware player share much of its architecture.

• Import the virtual machine created with .exe files

  Hello

  I'm new in the world of the virtual machines, and I'm sorry if I'm going to say something stupid.

  I take a .net class and the teacher has a virtual machine (windows XP with software) ready to pose with 4 .exe files.

  I installed VMfusion but now I have no idea how / if I can import the teacher VM fusion.

  Is this possible? If this is not the case, what can I do else?

  Thank you very much

  Luca

  Find a Windows PC and run the exe files to extract the virtual machine, precompiled.  Just copy the folder of the entire virtual machine on your Mac, and then open/run the virtual machine using the merger.  VMware virtual machines are portable between products and host operating system - there should be no reason to "convert" or "import".

• ESXi host have not of virtual machines when connected through vCenter

  Hi all

  I am facing a problem with 1 ESXi hosts. All other hosts are working properly.

  All hosts are managed by vCenter 5.1 VM. When I select this problematic host in vCenter and click on the virtual computers tab, it does not display anything other than a blank page. Then, it throws an error saying that the object has been deleted or has not completely created. The screenshot of the error popup is attached.

  However, if I connect directly to the host through the VI client, it does not throw the error and I can see the virtual machines it. If I have vmotion the vms during this host, I do not see these virtual machines via vcenter but I connect directly to the host and I can see the virtual machines. They work very well.

  What could be the cause of this problem.

  Thank you

  I would try restart the management agent on the host troubled or removing of vCenter and time.

• ESXi 5.0 as a virtual machine

  For pure and for training automatic tests, I installed VMware ESXi 5.0 as a virtual machine inside a VMware ESXi 5.0 host (physical).

  How can I configure the network interface to allow the VM ESXi?

  Is there a best practices document to configure VMware ESXi as a virtual machine?

  Concerning

  Marius

  Basically, all you have to do is to allow mode promiscuity on vSwitch physical hosts, which you connect virtual ESXi hosts. Make sure that virtual ESXi hosts are configured with the virtual "E1000" NETWORK card adapters

  For other settings, please take a look at Execution nested VMs

Example of Get-VMEvents 0All-types "VmCreatedEvent", "VmDeployedEvent", "VmClonedEvent". He will receive all events of type "VmCreatedEvent", "VmDeployedEvent" 'VmClonedEvent '. . Example of Get-VMEvents-name 'vm1' - type 'VmCreatedEvent '. Will be out of the events of creation of virtual machine: "vm1. It's faster than the vms piping is of result of Get - vm. There is no need to use get - vm to move names to get-vmevents.

  This function will return the object with information about the creation time, method, of months,.

  creator of particular virtual machine.

  VMname: SomeVM12

  Createduserid: 10/08/2012 11:48:18

  CreatedMonth: August

  This function displays NoEvent property in case when your VC do not

  more information on these specific events, or your vm events no longer have

  entries for the subject being created. If your VC data base has more tension date it is no longer possible

  you find this event.

  . Example of

  Get-VMCreationdate - VMnames 'my_vm1', 'My_otherVM '.

  This will return items that contain date information of creating virtual machines with names

  myvm1 and myvm2

  . Example of

  Get-VM-location 'Cluster1 | Get-VMCreationdate

  This will return items that contain information created for virtual machines that are

  Located in Cluster1

  . Example of

  Notice-EEG - viewtype virtualmachine - SearchRoot (get-datacenter "mydc") user.user | Get-VMCreationDate

  This will return items that contain information created for virtual machines that are

  located in the data center "mydc" container If you use this feature in an existing loop where you

  having the cmdlet get-view virtual machines, you can pass them via pipes or as a parameter VMnames.

  . Example of

  $report = get-cluster "cl-01' | Get-VMCreationdate

  $report | Export-csv c:\myreport.csv

  Stores all reported creationtimes object in the array $report variable and export the report to a csv file.

  You can also filter the report before you write in the csv file using select

  $report | Where-Object {$_.} {CreatedMonth - eq "October"} | Select VMName, CreatedMonth

  So that you see only the vms that have been created in October.

  . Example of

  Get-vmcreationdate - VMnames "my_vm1", testvm55

  WARNING: my_vm1 is not found, typo?

  VMname: testvm55

  Createduserid: 05/10/2012 14:24:03

  CreatedMonth: October

  CreationMethod: NewVM

  Creator: home\greg

  In case when you receive virtual machine that is not appropriate in the infrastructure of yor, a warning is displayed.

  You can always store the full text of the report in the $report variable, but it includes all the information on

  dates of creation of the missing vm. A warning always only for your information there is

  probably a typing mistake in the name of the virtual machine.

  . Parameter VMnames

  This parameter must contain objects of virtual machine or strings representing vm

  names. It is possible to supply this function wiith VM objects coming from get - vm or

  Get-vmcreationdate testvm

  he responds with

  WARNING: testvm is not found. misspelling?

  I can't understand why he says this?

  What will be the final objective to query the server vcenter set and export a CSV of the creation of each day VM - is their an easier way to do it?

  I was intending to use

  get - vm | Get-VMCreationDate | Export-Csv-path "d:\\reports\vmcreationinventory.csv ".

  But at the present time, each unique virtual machine is indicating "is not found."

  Attached is an example with a virtual machine called gbvls

  Although you may be better communicate with the author of these functions, from what I can tell, it seems to indicate that none of the specified events were found for these virtual machines.

  You can check if there are targeted with the cmdlet Get-VIEvent ordinary events.

  If you can see events, there could be a problem with the Get-VMEvents function.

  $vmName = 'testvm '.

  $tgtEvents = "VmBeingDeployedEvent", "VmRegisteredEvent", "VmClonedEvent", "VmBeingCreatedEvent".

  $vm = get-VM-name $vmName

• report for multiple virtual machines created

  I have a virtual machine creation script that I modified in order to be able to run in a loop using a CSV file to create more than one virtual machine at once. My original script send me an e-mail message for example:

  VM	IPaddress	CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT	Memory	ToolsVer	ToolStatus	Data store	Folder	ESXiHost
  MyVM	123.45.67.89	3	4096

  8384

  toolsOk

  myDS

  My-file
  

  myesxhost
  

  The problem that I want to try to figure out how can I get ALL the VM's on an e-mail report. Right now, because it's a loop, each VM I create will send a report. So if I put it up to build 4 vm, it will send 4 emails... I don't like it.

  ...
  $report.add ($reportedvm) | out-null
  

  }

  
  If ($HTML - eq 'Yes') {}

• A virtual machine created in ESX 4 can be converted to run an ESX 3.5 Server?

  The subject says it all.  Our main office has created a virtual machine on their ESX 4 server running.  They want us to use the same but we are running ESX 3.5.  We have no time to upgrade our server to 4 again.  We get an error when we try to start by saying this is not not compatible because it was created with a version with more features.

  If a virtual machine created in ESX 4 can be converted to run an ESX 3.5 server using converter?

  most important:

  change

  virtualHW.version = '7' to '4 '.

  in the vmx file

  then change

  ddb.virtualHWVersion = '7' to '4 '.

  in the vmdk file

  the other changes are optional - for example, you need to remove the lines that start with pciBridge and all the lines making reference to... .pciSlotNumber

  also take care of not to use more then 6 PCIdevices in 4 virtual material - i.e. the sum interface cards scsi controllers + network + video cannot be greater then 6

  If you have a time that is very simple and much much much faster then converter - post an example if you want

• ESXi on SD card and virtual machines on a NAS raid-6, performance?

  Hello!

  I'm planning an ESXi with HP Proliant DL380 G6 environment, which I already have.

  The server has an internal port SD card and according to this article , it is supported to run ESXi from an internal SD card.

  1ST QUARTER

  Someone hwo as tried this, what of the downside to this, except the redundancy on the SD card. I had a hard time finding comments on this

  Q2

  I intend to run virtual machines on a NAS via iSCSI, (thecus N8800, have another thread on the subject to know if it would work or not here)

  With this config I don't need any HD in the DL380.

  However, I do not know if a good high-performance NAS is good enough for my VMs and if maybe I need to run the OS on internal disks with higher performance.

  First of all, my plan was to run the OS partitions on a raid with internal 10 k SAS drives. And have all the data on the NAS partitions.

  But since I'm the new implementation of ESXi on SD or USB I think about the ability to run the DL380 without HD

  But, as noted above, is it possible that there is performance enough for that.

  Having in mind that my environment is and will be VERY LOW, we speak up seven windows server 2008 and totally 150 users.

  But I still haven't any idea if theres a chance that my 7 virtual machines running windows server 2008 will be capped at a lot by running NAS. The Nas will take place with eight 7.2 k RPM Sata disks, they are high of preforming sata drives, but not yet a SCSI raid. I have the ability to run a raid 10 on it instead of 6 and I will consider and try how much better performance, he gives me. 1 TB sata drives are 70% less expensive than the 300 GB 2.5 '' SAS 10 k disks.

  Yes, there is a good reason THAT SATA is less expensive than SAS.  SATA drives do not have the same command line than to use SAS drives, more the bottom of basket on SATA relies on the CPU, SAS can unload it on DEMAND.  The discs themselves seem to be competitive, but they are a far cry from the performance of SAS/SCSI, you get good performance until you start to make the e/s simultaneous sessions and hit heavily then you'll start to see performance degrades

  If do you some tests and that you are happy with it, still great.  I really hope it works well.  RAID 10 can be a good idea with SATA, which can help to compensate for this loss of performance.

  The PIN number is the best way to get the best performance, the physical drives of player throw you into a RAID of any kind the better you will be.

  Seagate Barracuda ES. 2-1 TB - 3.5 "- SATA-300 - 7200 tours min - lunch: 32 MB"

  vs SAS 15 K (that's 2 x the IOPS/sec)

• Is it possible to use the box that esxi is installed as a virtual machine?

  I have correctly installed ESXi and established virtual machines using the VI Client. The virtual machines are installed with the operating system and on balance, everything works as advertised.

  PC, access the box of ESXi are far enough away from the real server. Is it possible to have a vm residing with the box of ESXi machine on ESXi box?

  Any help will be greatly appreciated. This is new territory for me.

  Ken

  Hey Ken. Good job getting everything setup and operation. Unfortunately you cannot 'see' a guest of the ESXi server. I suggest you bring a laptop with you on the server.

  If you have found the following information useful please consider giving points and or the marker said.

  See you soon

• Virtual machine compatible with VM Ware with VM ware ESXi 6.0 enterprise (not sure version)

  Hello, does anyone know if a company of VM Ware virtual machine (maybe it is version 5, not sure) is compatible with VM ware ESXi 6.0? Can I do a snapshot on the VM Ware company and copy it in VM Ware ESXi 6.0?

  Thank you!

  Will VM probably run on ESXi 6 without modification. There may be a few exceptions where some minor modifications may be required however.

  In any case, you can migrate the virtual machine with VMware Converter making a V2V conversion (2 virtual), export the virtual computer to an OVF on the former host and import it on the new, or - depending on your method of backup and application - use your last backup and restore it on the new host.

• Configuration of IPSec in VMWare ESXi can be applied to virtual machines running?

  Hello

  I have an operating system running inside VMWare ESXi 5.1.  Let's call is "MyLinux".  It is a modified version of Linux which does not support IPSec.  So I try to get VMWare to manipulate IPSec for MyLinux.

  I used esxcli orders to successfully create configurations for IPSec between VMWare itself and other systems.

  However, I wonder if I can use the same esxcli commands to configure IPSec between MyLinux and other systems?  In my tests, VMWare does not perform tunneling IPSec data between the running machines and other virtual systems.

  It is an illustration of the configuration I created for MyLinux in VMWare.  I also have a security policy that is not visible.

  Name Source address Destination address State SPI Mode Encryption Algorithm, integrity algorithm to life

  --------                              -------------------------------------      -------------------------------------  ------      -----     ---------     --------------------               -------------------           --------

  MyLinuxToExternalSA MyLINUX.IPv6.ADDRESS EXTERNAL. Mature IPv6.ADDRESS infinity 0 x 300 transport 3des-cbc hmac-sha2-256

  ExternalToMyLinuxSA EXTERNAL. IPv6.ADDRESS infinite mature MyLINUX.IPv6.ADDRESS of hmac-sha2-256 0 x 256 transport 3des-cbc

  When I captured a trace TCP ping between MyLinux and the external system, MyLinux never sent the IPSec packets. Everything was sent in the clear.  This suggests that VMWare does not apply the rule for MyLinux, but I would like to confirm.  Thank you.

  Kwabena

  When you configure IPSec on ESXi, you sécuriserez the VMkernel traffic, not the virtual machine... If you want to protect the traffic of the virtual machine, you will need to enable IPSec on guest operating system.

  Here is more information on IPSec on ESXi: VMware KB: IPv6 and IPsec configuration on vSphere ESX and ESXi 4.1, 5.x ESXi
