• vCO workflow: create a virtual machine from a model and then ask the user about the CPU, memory size...

  Hi guys,.

  I am trying to create a workflow with vCO that can do the job for me:

  -Create a virtual machine (or maybe a several virtual machines) from a model (the model is in vCenter, of course)

  -L' user who is running the workflow has the thr right to say what he wants for the CPU, the memorysize, the disksize

  Any help?

  I found some workflows in the library can seem to do something similar to what I want, but since I'm a beginner I'd rather have your advice

  Hello there and welcome to vCenter Orchestrator

  Take a look at this series of tutorials to get an idea of how start:

  Create a vCO simple self-service VM Provisioning Portal - part 1

  Create a vCO simple self-service VM Provisioning Portal - part 2

  Create a Simple Self Service VM Provisioning Portal vCO - part 3

  The general approach to take would be to determine which of the clone (or clone and customize) workflows adapts to your nearest need (see your customer vCO: workflows\Library\vCenter\Virtual Machine management\Clone\)

  Then, create a NEW WORKFLOW that calls this one... after that your clone operation is complete, keep the computer turned off virtual and add feeds of extra work from the library to your new workflow that do things like change the amount of Ram, adds disks, change CPU, etc...

  Be sure to watch the videos on http://www.vmwarelearning.com/orchestrator to get a basic understanding of the use of vCO.

• Import the Virtual Machine Notes to new vCenter 5.1

  Is there a way to import the Virtual Machine Notes to a new vCenter attribute? I am able to export notes to help

  $vm = get - VM | Select Name, Notes

  $vm | Export-csv notes.csv

  but cannot find a way to import...

  Thanks Andy

  Hi Andy,.

  to import the attribute information about the virtual machine in a new vCenter server, you can use the following script PowerCLI:

  Import-CSV -Path Notes.csv |
  ForEach-Object {
    Get-VM $_.Name |
    Set-VM -Notes $_.Notes -Confirm:$false
  }
  

• VMware 6.5.5 cannot import the virtual machine that uses 2GB "disks of split.

  Hello

  I'm using VMware Workstation 6.5.5 under Win XP. I tried to import a virtual machine that was created by using the option 'Split' virtual disks into files of 2 GB. The import fails and presents a pop-up: ' Conversion Assistant/cannot determine the guest operating system. The log file includes the line "could not find the disk cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk. This file does not exist of course, there are more files cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s001.vmdk, cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s002.vmdk and so on. The machine virtual original (cofortcol3v01) has been created under VMware Workstation 5.1, and it does not under Workstation 6.5.5.

  Is this a known problem in the conversion utility? Is there a work around for this problem?

  Thank you.

  -Phil Anzel

  FYI... VMware Workstation peut import a Virtual Machine that uses twoGbMaxExtentSparse discs.

  The log file includes the line "could not find the disk cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk. This file does not exist of course, rather there are files cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s001.vmdk, cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s002.vmdk and so on. The machine virtual original (cofortcol3v01) has been created under VMware Workstation 5.1, and it does not under Workstation 6.5.5.

  Is this a known problem in the conversion utility? Is there a work around for this problem?

  The problem is that you're missing the "disk DescriptorFile", "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk" and which is why it's a failure and not a limitation of the Conversion utility.

  Also if you actually had a Virtual Machine created in VMware Workstation 5.1 you can simply run directly under VMware Workstation 6.5.5 without having to run the import command.

  Anyway, if you have a backup that you can recover the file "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk" then you should be fine and if you have not then a new can be created.  If you can archive (compress) files vmware*.log (usually 4 of them) in a single zip file archive and tied him to a post in response, then one of us will create a new file "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk", based on the information contained in files vmware.log for you, if you don't know how to do it yourself.

• How to import a virtual machine of 3.5 to 4.0?

  I need to be able to migrate a VM from 3.5 to 4.0.

  1 moving to a shared LUN virtual computer - done

  Need help with

  1 import the virtual machine in 4.0 of the LUN that is shared; the script below does not work.

  $Datacenter = 'test '.

  $VMName = "test-VM.

  $ESXHost = get-vmhost | Sort-Object MemoryUsageMB | Select first name - 1

  $ResourcePool = get-VMHost $ESXHost.Name | Get-ResourcePool | Get-View

  $vmFolder = get-View (Get-data center-name $Datacenter |) Get - Folder - name "vm") user.user

  $vmFolder.RegisterVM_Task ("[SHARED_LUN]" + $VMName + "/" + $VMName + ".vmx", $VMName, $false, $ResourcePool.MoRef, $null ")

  Thank you

  It will work, but you will need to use the - Server parameter in the cmdlet Get-Data Center to indicate what vcenter you want to recover the data center.

  Suppose you have two vCenters, called VC1 and VC2, then you can get the data center under VC1 like this

  $vc1 = connect-VIServer-Server VC1

  $vc2 = connect-VIServer-Server VC2

  Get-data center-name SameName-Server $vc1

  If you'd

  Get-Datacenter -Name SameName
  

  you will get a table with 2 objects, an object for the data center in each vCenter.

• Import a virtual machine in ESXI Server

  Hello

  I'm having a problem importing a virtual machine into the ESXi server. I downloaded the folder with the VM and then after the download, I opened the folder in the data store, click on the .vmx file, add to the inventory and then when I go to power on the virtual machine, you receive an error.

  

  Can someone tell me what Idid hurt, actually there at - it a guide step by step somewhere?

  Thank you

  Richard

  for me, I like to use the converter, it works and takes care to ensure that all parts of the VM needrf are transferred into your ESX (i) environment.

  Download VMware Converter, install and convert machine.   Source type is another virtual machine of VMware or VMware Workstation.  Type of destination will be the virtual machine VMware Infrastructure.

• After you import the virtual machines in LM, can I remove VC

  Hello

  I had a couple of machines to import the configuration of another admin... After you import the virtual machines in LM, can I remove the virtual machines, I imported VC? I now have more need to fight them with VC. LM depends on of these always after import?

  I do not believe, but you can rename the folder and see if something is complaining.  If it isn't, it is probably safe to delete.

• How to export/import a virtual machine with ESXi 5

  I use the free version of ESXi 5 and have created a virtual machine that is configured with the software for our project. I would like to share this virtual machine with other members of the team, some of whom are in other places and have slow network connections.  I want to pack the VM in a reasonable size file or a set of files I could ftp (or put it on DVD for people in areas of slow network) that they could then import into their ESXi hosts. The virtual machine has a 60 GB drive that is implemented by using the option 'thin', so it contains only 6 or 7 GB of real data right now.  Is it possible to export the image to a file or set of files that can be imported to another people ESXI host?  Before when I used VM Player we could do this by upgrading backup files in virtual machine directory and copy them to the new machine. With the ESXi data store, I don't know that something like this can be done.  I used vCenter Converter to convert to ESXi Infrastructure VM in VM Player format (and vice versa), but it is extremely slow. I think I might point the Source to my ESXi host and the Destination to a co-workers ESXi host and run a 'conversion' to transfer the files, but I think it would be very slow and impractical for some people to 'slow-network '.  I tried with vSphere Client navigation data store and I see the download options, but when I tried to download a VM directory it just hung.  I enabled ssh on my server ESXi and I found the store of data under/vmfs/volumes and when I look in the folder that contains my VM, there a file myvmname - flat hard which is 60 GB in size, so if I tar the contents of this folder to move elsewhere it will be huge.

  Can anyone suggest a solution?  The licensed version of ESXi would offer better alternatives?

  You can watch export OVF available in the Client vSphere for this function.

• HO to import a virtual machine in esx host

  Hi all,

  I have a cluster of small esx (2host clustered in a datacenter) manged by a machine virtual vcenter. Now, I installed an esx on a small host outside the cluster, do some test activities that must be totally separate from my cluster of production.

  Before you perform the test esx host, I created some virtual machines in the production cluster. Now I want to import into my test esx host without have to reinstall them. Can I do this? the only way to achieve that I thought is to add my existing test in my data center host, leaving outside the cluster. then move my vms and remove it then, to manage alone.

  Is this possible without any risk to my cluster of production? is there any other solutions?

  Thank you very much

  Paolo

  Yes, but you cannot connect a free version, you need a license.

  To not change your existing cluster, simply add the host in the data center (so it's outside the cluster).

  When you are finished, just disconnect and remove the unused host.

• Import a virtual machine across clusters using converter

  Hello

  I am trying to import a machine virtual xp windows from one cluster to another, using vmware converter 3.0

  I have 2 servers vcenter, 2 groups, various installations of ESX OS (3.5 update 4 and ESX 4.0)

  I tried once, went through the entire conversion steps, source selection, destination, etc. It shows even the conversion as 100% full.

  But when trying to find the virtual machine which shows as successfully moved above, is not there, still located on the original cluster.

  Any comments would be great

  Thank you

  Using the converter does not remove the original VM, so it will always remain of the original Cluster. But the copy must appear in the destination cluster if the proocess of course went well.

  Kind regards

• 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".

• 'Fail forward' for Ports on the virtual machine

  We have a customer who will be centralizing the unit with about 250 users at remote sites (4 Sites, 1000 Subscribers, they have currently a unit break at each site and want to centralize). Each site will have its own cluster of CM. I'm thinking about what I could do failure network SCOPE. Of course, each site will be fine IPT wise because they have their own cluster of CM, but VM will be declining. I think I watered but if there was a way to "transmit failure" or something on the VM ports on the PSTN to maintain the work of the virtual machine. (Of course carrier must support ISDB).

  Someone at - it works in this or thought about it?

  Andrew Dignan... If the carrier supports RDINS of course

  The connectivity of voice mail for Cisco CallManager chapter of the Cisco CallManager System Guide:

  "Inter-classes Interfaces A Cisco CallManager in a cluster can provide access to a voice mail system in another cluster, if the administrator provides the voicemail number on the trunk driver inter-classes. Voicemail systems can leave messages and sets the flags of message waiting for devices other clusters if clusters are connected by trunks QSIG. »

  This applies to any system of virtual machine. With the unit, you have of additional capacity to save ports across multiple clusters so to provide MWI without ICTS as QSIG.

• Import a virtual machine from a backup of Symantec .sv2i

  I need to create a virtual machine from the backup of a Windows physical box created with one of the latest versions of Symantec BESR.

  VMware Converter Standalone documentation reading - I see that only the backup made with Symantec BESR 8.5 and earlier files are supported.

  Can someone please provide a solution or at least advice?

  Concerning

  Marius

  Hello

  You can create a temp disk (VMDK) to an existing virtual machine, and then put your backup file on the disk.

  Detach the VMDK and then assign to a new virtual machine as a second disc (the virtual machine you need to restore the backup to that).

  Then start the virtual machine of the Symantec BESR startup disk and restore the secondary drive on the first disk backup file.

  After that detach and remove the second disk.

  Of curse, this solution may not work after restoration because you made the physics of the machine backup and restore to a virtualized platform.
