Using fault tolerant instead of a virtual machine in standby

• Get use of the resources of all virtual machines in a cluster

  Hello

  I have developed a measure of capacity management report that collects all the use of the resources of the virtual machines in a datacenter. The function that collects it looks like this:

  def hostMemoryConsumed =]

  def memoryConsumed = 0.0f

  def memoryGranted = 0.0f

  VMs. each() {}

  VM->

  try {}

  memoryConsumed += vm.host.memory.consumed.current.average / 1024.0f<----- how="" to="" do="" this="" to="" get="" from="">

  memoryGranted += vm.host.memory.capacity.current.average / 1024.0f

  }

  {} catch (NullPointerException e)

  }

  VMS is a function of type parameter VMS VMW

  The works above for virtual machines in the data center, but I need it to be after cluster. I can find a cluster of virtual machines, but I'm having trouble with referring to specific values for example consumed memory and capacity.

  If I change the type parameter: VMW Cluster how the metric reference would look like (see the try {})?

  I don't think that a query will help me.

  Thanks in advance

  If you want to do for a cluster, you can just get the list of virtual machines in a cluster of first and passing in your script.  If you have a function for a VMWCluster you can add a parameter for "vmwCluster" that is underneath and it should give you a table (topologyObjects) that has all the virtual machines in the cluster.

  QS = server.get ("QueryService") / / query Service

  tquery = qs.createStatement("!) (' VMWVirtualMachine where esxServer.parent.name = "+" ' "+ vmwCluster +" "" ") .setQueryTopologyObjects (true);

  topologyObjects = qs.executeStatement (tquery) .getTopologyObjects)

• Can I use the same windows on my virtual machine?

  I had windows pre-installed in my dell laptop (Latitude E6420). I did not have the cd key but I extracted using a program called Magical jelly bean key finder. Now, I have the following information on my windows installation

  Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1

  Product no.: XXXXXXXX

  Installed from media "OEM."

  Product ID: XXXXX-OEM-XXXXXXXX

  CD Key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

  Computer name: XXXXX

  Registered owner: XXXXX

  Registered organization: Microsoft
  Now, I want to install linux on my machine and use the current windows in a virtual machine inside the linux host. Is is possible if I completely uninstall this windows of my computer and reinstall the virtual machine with the same key?
  I'm not very familiar with this also can someone guide me what are the steps I have to take if this is possible.

  Hi Andre,

  Thank you for your answer, but this does not completely answer my question. I also read that OEM installation does not install the same windows on another machine (virtual machine is like different machine even if I do this on the same machine) and installation of the mine is OEM type.

  More important still, how install windows in the virtual environment? If I format the computer and install linux, in addition to this install virualbox and install inside windows that use the cd - key and it will work. ? I doubt it because the windows is already activated in this machine.

  The extract of the contract (EULA) for Windows 7 and applies to the retail and OEM of Windows 7 versions. So, Yes, you can reinstall it in a Virtual Machine.

  Yes, you will need to format the machine under Linux, then reinstall Windows 7 in a computer program virtual suitable as Oracle Virtual Box 4.2, VMWare Player 5.0 or VMWare Workstation. You can then use the product key located on the COA sticker to reactivate the license.

• Is there a way to change the connection string to the database by using the command line on the virtual machine?

  Hi, I use 1.5 space Horizon

  can someone help me by telling me where I can change the connection string for the database on the virtual machine itself.

  I was away, and our stuff has been migrated databases to another server. Now my horizon does not connect because it can not find the database. I can either on the hwconfigurator.xxx.com.

  Thank you

  What do you see when you go to https://hwconfigurator.xxx.com?

  You can try to change this property in /usr/local/horizon/conf/runtime-config.properties on your service - will (s) and the server restart of tc by using the command "/etc/init.d/horizon-frontend restart".

• Use of memory in the guest virtual machines

  Hello

  I don't have any background on VMware technology, but we are using a facility of dynamic cloud based on vCloud Director to the company where I work.

  The group that operates the server publishes the offer with a 'pay per use model"of service.

  This is true for the CPU resources, as we pay only what we use in the month. But in my opinion, it does not for the use of the RAM.

  We have Linux VMs that allocate a 4 GB of RAM 'physical' and our monthly bills show that the RAM usage is at 100% for all the month. But when you look at the tools of memory for the virtual machine, you can see that most of the time 50% or even less is used by the guest operating system process.

  This means from a user perspective the RAM price per month should be half of what we are responsible now. Ask operators on the 'question', we always get the answer that the use of the RAM is not dynamic and we need to pay for the use of 100% from the point of view of the server host.

  Could someone share some light on this subject? Is there really no way to make use of the dynamic RAM as the CPU usage?

  Thank you

  Michael

  Evening,

  As a service provider, I'll let you in on the secret:

  It depends on

  vCloud takes care of three models of default allocation.  Your provide may use other

  -Pay for what you use. -pay as you use

  -Allowance - you get resources, but can burst more

  -Booking - you get allocated resources and is

  Chargeback depends on model (in out of the box chargeback... your provider might have something custom)

  Pay as you use - charged on the basis of the resources used

  Allowance - remuneration based on allocation and additional for burst

  Allocate pay based on booking-

  There in the last two models really no way to load except full allowance (i.e. 100% cpu and RAM)

  Statement, I think you have something along the lines of the compensation you are using you mixed with a price system vendor.

  From my experience the resource more used in ESXi clusters in the RAM.  That's really what I buy in clusters of resource... I always need more RAM.  I need no more CPU. In addition, distribution of the CPU to vcloud is made via Ghz is not CPU.   RAM is allocated by GB.   So those set up and I think you suppliers is betting that they will always have to RAM so they charge based on usage not allocation.  While CPU, they have tons while they charge by usage.

  Really, it's just my thoughts... What can charge you on:

  -Ghz processor

  -GB of RAM

  -GB of storage

  How can recharge you:

  -Used

  -Allocated

  So bottom line... they can charge by opportunity they choose not too...

  It will be useful,

• Make a VM use a NIC and all other virtual machines use another?

  Hello, I'm trying to understand how do a virtual computer using a NETWORK card, while all my other reviews VMs share another. Having a hard time to identify ways to implement. Someone knows how to do this?

  I've attached a screenshot of how my network is currently configured, if that helps.

  Thank you

  C

  You can create another group of ports say "VM network 2" and set the grouping of NETWORK adapters active vmnic1 and vmnic0 standby (in front of your current setting). Then add this virtual machine to the network of computer virtual 2. This allows switching between the two network cards. If you want to have the assistance of a NETWORK card all the time, just put a active and other "unused" in a single port and opposite group in the other group, or at the level of the switch. Port group strategy note may substitute the switch level policy.

• Use the diskette of esxi for virtual machines

  Hello
  I would like to set up a lab and I have hp g6 server but just with a single 600 GB sas disk
  is it possible to install esxi on it and also use it as a storage device for virtual machines on?
  I know that I can install esxi on a cool drive but if what I've said, it's possible I prefer to use that

• CLI can be used to assign AD accounts to virtual machines

  Hi, I am interested in the possibility to use the CLI to assign accounts Active Directory for VMs. currently there are 10 virtual machines created from a template and there are 22:00. 1 AD account is assigned to each of the virtual machines. They are used for training purposes. Virtual machines are then removed and repeat the procedure. Is it possible that I can attribute the AD account name to a particular virtual machine using the command line?

  Thank you

  You can use the new-vipermission to assign permissions to a virtual machine.

• Using a USB dongle on a virtual machine in a HA cluster

  I need to install software on a virtual machine in ESX 4.0 cluster, which requires a USB dongle to be fixed in order to run in non-evaluation mode. I just came across a product called AnywhereUSB which seems to be supported by VMware. Can anyone tell if they used this product, it's all good and I'm still going to be able to have this quick vMotioning of VMS, as is currently?

  > I'll still be able to have this quick vMotioning of VMS, as it is currently?

  Yes. You will be able to VMotion VM with USB over IP solution.

• Problem using cdromdisconnect.pl to check for the use of CD-ROM on the virtual machines

  I have a problem with this script, cdromdisconnect.pl and I was hoping someone could help me with it...

  When I run ' cdromdisconnect.pl - my.esx.host - host list op - my.vc.host - server passthroughauth ", I get a"Host not found my.esx.host." But when I run "datacenterlisting.pl - datacenter MyDC" there 'my.esx.host' very well. Am I missing something here? Why is the cdrom script not able to find hosts when other scripts have no problem?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  As far as I KNOW, there isn't a way to do a review on a MoRef, right on the property values.  You cannot, for example, match against a property value of the table.  You have to adapt your script logic.  Once you have your view of system host ($host), then you must use the vm ($host-> vm) property to get a list of Virtual Machines.

  You will probably need to change:

  my $host_moRef = $host->{mo_ref}{value};
  #######################################################################################
  #     Get all VMs that are currently running on that ESX Server
  #######################################################################################
  
  my $vm_views = Vim::find_entity_views(view_type => 'VirtualMachine', filter => {'runtime.host' => $host_moRef});
  my $numDevices = 0;
  foreach my $vm_view (@$vm_views) {
  

  TO:

  #######################################################################################
  #     Get all VMs that are currently running on that ESX Server
  #######################################################################################
  
  my $numDevices = 0;
  my $vm_view;
  foreach (@{$host->vm}) {
       $vm_view = Vim::get_view( mo_ref => $_ );
  

  There are some optimizations I can suggest to speed it up, but its probably better to work first.

• Unable to connect to use Windows XP mode on a Virtual Machine, cannot share files between the Virtual Machine and host

  Because of the need to run some XP programs, I ordered Win7 Pro and installed a Virtual Machine with XP Mode.

  Managed to get it going somehow, but does not connect to my home network (can't see any other computers, which seems to be common with the host of Win 7, but here, I managed to install quick links to other computers - they will not work in XP Mode), even if the Internet connection is working perfectly.

  In addition, I can't find a way to share files with the host country, drive C appears to be different from that of the hosts with no common points (where it is currently stored beats me).

  I can access a USB key, but only at a price to make it unavailable to the host and the attempt to release his capture when running XP Mode failed.

• script to summarize the use of the total disc of virtual machines

  How can I summarize sizes total vmdk (not thin) of a list of virtual machines in vc?

  Hello, once again-

  I see your second post.  Yes, you could go that route, too.  You are close to, simply add in a Measure-Object call.  A little cleaned up, it would be like:

  $machines = Get-Content c:\servers.txtGet-VM -Name $machines | Get-HardDisk | `    select @{N="VMName";E={$_.Parent.Name}},@{N="Capacity(GB)";E={[math]::truncate($_.CapacityKB / 1MB)}},Filename | `    Measure-Object -Property "Capacity(GB)" -Sum
  

  How does do for you?

• Using CLI, I would clone a virtual machine between different data centers

  Hello!!

  We have two data centers.

  We want to clone a virtual of DataCenter1 to DataCenter2 machine.

  We cannot with vSphere.

  Does anyone know how we can do this? any idea?

  Thank you very much

  Jose.

  Cloning is a feature of vCenter Server, not a host ESX (i). You need to connect to vCenter, that's why you get the error because this operation is not supported in a host ESX (i)

• You can install vCenter as a virtual machine with fault tolerance

  The benefits of having vCenter as a virtual machine are features such as HA and snapshots, is there a problem with having a fault tolerance enabled on a virtual machine that is the vCenter server to manage fault tolerance?

  He couldn't see in the documentation for fault tolerance limits

  Well...

  vCenter lists 2 CPUs as required and FT only works with one...
