  Need to move virtual machines and power on ESXi others using the HA and Power Options

  So what are the Options I need activate and deactivate:

  Turn on Vsphere HA

  Activate the tracking host

  Admission control (disabled)

  VM Machine Options

  VM restart priority (medium)

  Response from the host of off the power isolation

  VM monitoring (people with disabilities)

  Please indicate the required Options and on virtual machines, we are not turning on?

  Just to be clear, that VMware HA will only restart the VMS if ESXi hosts fails - or surveillance of the VM is turned on which will be monitors VMs will they crash or suspend and restart the virtual machine affected.

  and just to be clear, that the response of insulation parameter has nothing to do whther THAT HA will work or not - it does come into play if the ESXi host is isolated of the HA - Cluster

  xMotion works only between active ESXi hosts that can communicate with the server vCenter - and if the ESXi host broke down or became isolated and vMotion may not work.

  vMotion is automated with DRS that vMotion will a VM who need more resources to an ESXi host with enough reosurces.

• Best method to move virtual machines Linux of VC 2.5/ESX 3.5 to 4.0/ESX4 vCentre

  Guys,

  I have to move a number of them. The two groups are there. If it is not a question about the upgrade of the VC/ESX. I want to use the simplest method possible to move these VMs and here's my plan:

  1 copy the whole directory of VM from the data store on VC 2.5 to the data store on vCentre 4.

  2. Add the virtual machine to inventory in vCentre 4.

  3. upgrade VMware tools

  4. switch to hardware version 7.

  And that's all. Please let me know if this plan is feasible, or more importantly, no holes in the plan.

  Thank you

  Hello

  You have a few options:

  1. you can bring up the old data store for ESX 4.x and save the VM on vCenter 4.0.

  2. you can add that the host ESX to vCenter 4.0 3.5 move virtual machines in ESX 4.0 cluster.  You can use vMotion and Storage vMotion, according to your needs.

  3. you can use the stand-alone converter to make a hot cloning of Linux virtual machines in ESX 4.0.

  Best wishes / Saludos

• Put a host in maintenance - it will automatically move virtual machines?

  Dear all,

  We have a cluster with 4 guests and we would now like to upgrade each 5.50 to 6.0 ESXi ESXi host. I understand that we need to put the host in maintenance mode. He will automatically move virtual machines to other hosts? I read DRS is necessary. I see that our guests are permitted for Vmotion and HA. We have standard Vsphere license.

  This means in our case, I would need to move manually first of all VMs before the host can go into maintenance mode? In the case where the Vsphere will make work, the virtual machines automatically distributing to 3 other hosts according to the resources available?

  Thank you

  Edy

  This means in our case, I would need to move manually first of all VMs before the host can go into maintenance mode?

  Yes, since the Standard edition doesn't include DRS, you must manually move virtual machines to other hosts.

  In the case where the Vsphere will make work, the virtual machines automatically distributing to 3 other hosts according to the resources available?

  Yes, this would be the case with the DRS in place.

  You can try to retrieve the object file by steps as well.

  Something like this for example

  $folder = get-data center-name 'LTX01-G8 | Get-file-name "LTX-servers | Get-file-name "LTX servers 0000 - 0299. Get-file-name Linux

  I guess the first qualification in your path was the data center.

• How to change the memory allocated for VCenter server, which is a virtual machine

  I'm trying reclassification of 3.5 to Vsphere 4.1 and I improved VCenter first, making it a virtual machine.  However, when I created the server I did not allocate enough memory for it and I'm getting errors.  How can I allocate more memory for the virtual machine while it is stopped?  I can not allocate more memory, except if it is closed, but with it being the VCenter server if I stopped him so that I can access with the Vi client.  Is there a service console command?  I searched for a few hours and found nothing.

  Thank you!!

  Discover what the vCenter ON WHAT VM ESX host is marked (e), connect directly to the ESX host and find the vCenter VM and make the change.

• VCenter Server installed as a virtual machine within a ESXi servers it manages?

  Hi all.  I'm new in the world of VSphere... still in my evaluation period.

  I have only a single ESXi server running at the moment but plans to add a second later for high availability, vmotion, increase general capacity, etc.  They are / will be ESXi running on the internal storage and the virtual machines running on a shared SAN.

  Today, I installed VCenter Server 4 on a server at bottom of range/Office that I was carrying around running XP Pro x 64.

  As I was installing I read the guide installation and to my surprise, it seems to recommend that I have installed VCenter Server 4 as a virtual machine on my ESXi host.

  Now maybe I just spent too much time setting up my without new Lefthand requiring a 'witness' during the failover of one SAN to another... but I was under the impression that VCenter Server is not designed simply to host configuration, but is also designed to act as a 'witness' or to take account of quorum whenever a failure scenario occurred on one of my ESXi hosts.  I also noticed the VCenter Server features of a port "heartbeat", which I suppose one would use for the ESXi server heartbeat, but perhaps it is used for "connected mode" with other VCenter servers (I was intending to use only one since it is a small scale installation) I also felt that it would be useful enough to restore a damaged or shot ESXi host.

  So my question is, if my ESXi host dies and it is where I have VCenter Server installed, then high availability will be unable to work?  I guess there are going to be other issues with me unable to access VCenter Server while I have an ESXi host shot, too, as a greater difficulty to get the ESXi up?

  Maybe I'm wrong understand the purpose of the VCenter server... maybe it's not something that's necessary for HA, recovery, etc. and acts only as a configuration tool until something is wrong?  Or maybe I misunderstood the installation guide and they recommend only installing VCenter Server on an ESX box... they don't want this ESX box to be part of the group that manages the server?

  Finally, if indeed they recommend I install this on a ESXi host manages... would I ideally be install this for local storage on the server (where I installed ESXi) or on the SAN (where all my other virtual machines are installed)... or is it just personal preference?

  Thank you!!

  When you add hosts an active hemagglutinin vCenter cluster HA agent is installed on it.  This agent is what is actually the HA.  While necessary to add new hosts in a cluster and configure some specific parameters of vCenter vCenter's agents HA are self-sufficient and can handle HA failover so vCenter is offline.

  You must install the vCenter VM on SAN storage, so that he can use the vMotion, sVmotion, DRS, HA, functions etc. that require a SAN.

• Move virtual machines from a to another data store

  Is there a recommended (or integrated) way to move propelled out of virtual machines from a data store? Or is it a cut simple and working of dough which can be done from any client PC connected to the underlying storage providers?

  If both, store data Source and Destination are connected to the same server vCenter, do Storage vMotion. Make a right-click VM--> migrate--> change of data store and select the Destination data store.

• move virtual machine data store

  Installation program:

  VCenter 4.1

  ESXi 4.1

  How can I move a VM between groups with non-shared data warehouses managed by vcenter even. I can turn off the virtual machine, but storage vmotion will not work as long as data warehouses are not shared between clusters.

  Thank you

  voltage of a virtual computer is not storage vMotion.  If you can take the dowtime, the easisest way.  When the host is turned off, select migrate, you can then ' change time host and the data store.

• How to move virtual machines from one host to another without full VI and vMotion?

  Hello

  could you help me with a question?

  I have two installed hosts with ESXi 3.5 U5, which are connected to the shared iSCSI (Openfiler) - VMs storage are installed on the storage disk. My requirement is to have a cheap solution of DR - in case of failure of a host, I need to move and start VM on the host of work. How to achieve without going through VMware Infrastructure 3.5 and vMotion?

  I found this article:

  http://www.virtualizetips.com/2010/04/how-to-move-a-VM-without-vCenter-or-storage-VMotion/

  but RCLI needs Infrastructure of VMware ESXi does not have default CLI So, how to move VMs between hosts (of course I mean "cold" move) without byuing any additonal VMware SW? It is generally possible in my situation?

  Thank you.

  If the virtual machines are running in shared storage (two guests see the same storage iSCSI or NFS) then it's simple. If a host goes down, then look for the data store on the ESXi host work. Navigate through folders for each virtual machine, right-click on the VMX file and add to the inventory. You will then be able to turn on the virtual machine.

  To move a virtual machine from one host to another, as long as both hosts had the same processors, you can pause the VM on the single host, browse and add the virtual machine to the inventory on the second break host and the United Nations.

  If the virtual machines are on local storage, but the two hosts are connected to the same shared storage, clone virtual machines on a daily basis from local storage to shared storage. Use something like ghettoVCB http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8760 make the clone. In the case of a server failure, you will be able to browse the data store, add to the inventory on the shared storage and switch the cloned machine.

• Simple Question - How to move virtual machines from 1 box to another?

  Hello

  I'm new to VMware products so please bare my stupidity.

  I have 2 servers I received vSphere on. They have all two internal storage (SAN No. still ) which means I can't take advantage of vMotion. So that leaves me to figure out how would one move a Virtual Machine from one box to the other? I currently have two boxes configured with a vCenter Server under 1 datacenter server.

  The simplest solution (considering vCenter) is cold using migrate operation.

• iSCSI SAN, two hosts - how to move virtual machines?

  It is a new implementation.  I have ESX 3.5 standard and both hosts access the storage shared across the San.  Somehow, I need to delete the VM inventory of a host, and add it to the other.  But I don't see the option anywhere.  I don't have the inventory button.

  Where I was before we vCenter but not here.  What is the reason?  I can't do vmotion, all cold migration.

  You must turn off the Virtual Machine, if you right click on the virtual machine, that you should see the option at the bottom near remove disk.   On the host that you want to move, if you look at the host summary screen (click on the host) and then double click on the logic of shared storage unit number.  This should bring up a list of all folders in this unit number logic, including the NameOfVM that you can open the folder of this virtual machine to the top and click on the. SELECT and VMX file added to the inventory.

• Cannot ping virtual machine Windows 7 vm Server 2012 [Server R2 2012]

  Hi all

  I'm not sure that this is a vmware workstation or server 2012 r2 problem, but I would still ask thought.

  I have a 2012 r2 vm server and win 7 vm in a ' host-only: a private network, shared with the host country "network connection.

  I can ping the server vm win7, but cannot ping the ""Server the VM win7 ". "

  But when I point the win7 dns on the server 2012R2 (that has AD and DNS configured) I can join the virtual machine Windows 7 announcement.

  Its totally weird

  Whenever I try to win7 from the ping server, it says "Request Timed Out".

  Does anyone know how can I fix?

  I'm using VMWare Workstation 11

  Thank you

  Is there a way to get pings without demeaning the whole firewall?

• Returns the name of the FQDN for a vcenter based on a given virtual machine

  Slowly, I am working on a set of workflow that will integrate a powershell module, I created.

  For my first stream of work, I'm trying to find all the information I need when a user runs a workflow on a VM orchestrator.

  I understood the cluster so far, but I can't identify the right script object that will give me the full domain name of a host corresponding to this virtual machine vcenter.

  Being new vCO does not help much, either.

  I thought that it would be part of VcManagedEntity, but for some reason, this page translates into a big ol' 404!

  https://www.VMware.com/support/Orchestrator/doc/vco_vsphere51_api/HTML/VcManagedEntity.html#configStatus

  I thought that maybe it would be part of vm.runtime.parent.parent but my script results in errors.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you.

  I think that now you are a the right way, the full name of the vCenter server will be localhost, so the answer of vm.sdkConnection.setting.sdkConnection is localhost.

  Maybe this will help you:

  var sdkConnection = vm.sdkConnection;
  var optionManager = sdkConnection.optionManager;
  
  var vCenterInstanceName = optionManager.queryOptions( "VirtualCenter.InstanceName" ).shift().value;
  var vCenterFqdn = optionManager.queryOptions( "VirtualCenter.FQDN" ).shift().value;
  
  System.log( "vCenter Instance Name: " + vCenterInstanceName );
  System.log( "vCenter FQDN: " + vCenterFqdn );
  

  Where I think that the name of your instance will show localhost.

  But the FULL domain name should be the thing you are looking.

  See you soon
