• Snapshots of vCenter taking all space hard and virtual server crash

  After completing the installation, I created a snapshot of a virtual machine (windows 2008 sbs) and all updates as starting point was what happening whatsoever. Since this snapshot, we have added a passage from the device to the virtual computer for snapshots are no longer created or restored. According to windows sbs, disk space is 200 of 420 concerts in use. When copying on a file of 50 concerts, virtual machine crashed said it doesn't have enough free space. I cleaned a little files and got the virtual computer restarted. I looked in the veiw storage and noticed 2 files, servername - 000001.vmdk and servername-vmdk. I tried to remove the snapshot through the Snapshot Manager, but it does nothing. can I manually remove the snapshot via the display of storage? and if so which file? I ask because if I change the setting of the virtual machine and choose the hard drive, it does reference the name of the server - 000001.vmdk. Thanks for your comments

  > can I manually remove the snapshot via the display of storage? and if so which file?

  NO.

  you will lose data if you manually remove the 000001.vmdk.
  It should consolidate the snapshot using Snapshotmanager.

  You get errors when trying to "remove all" in snapshotmanager?

• How upgarde VM Version of Virtual Server Vcenter

  Hello

  In my environment, I use virtual Vcenter Server [Windows VM], no idea how we can improve the VM Version of the same thing?

  I would like to know any ESXi host command line option will be there as the vcenter he self running on the virtual machine.

  Thank you

  If you are already on version 5.1, you can use the Web Client and plan the upgrade for the next reboot.

• Advantages/disadvantages of moving data to a virtual server Vcenter

  What are the advantages/disadvantages of the passage of our database of Vcenter 2.5 on the physical server to our virtual server to SQL 2005?

  Thank you

  the only con I can think of is that your VCDB breaks down, the fact vCenter.  However, as a virtual machine running your VCDB isn't a bad thing.  After all, you can take advantage of the DRS/HA.  One thing I would do is create a rule of DRS, if you run vCenter as a virtual machine, to keep the VCDB and vCenter VM together but also to set a priority of restarting at the top for two virtual machines.

  .. .and of course make sure that you back up your VCDB and perform adequate maintenance

• vCenter is virtual server - how to upgrade ESX host?

  Our vCenter server is a virtual server.  I've been thinking how to run update manager on the host ESX, vCenter is sitting on.   The only thing I can think of is to use the VMware Converter stand alone app and move the vCenter server to another ESX host and then start vCenter / Manager Update on the new ESX host to update the original ESX host.

  Is there an easier way?

  you have a shared storage?  If so, go to the host computer running the vCenter VM on, turned off, make a note of the data store that it is, remove the inventory, go to another host, browse the data store, find the vmx file, right-click "add to the inventory.

  .. .or you can use VMware Converter to move the VM vCenter.  Another way would be to turn off the VM vCenter and do the upgrade using the CLI interface.

• Update of the hardware virtual server vCenter

  How can upgrade you to version 7 on vcenter material when it is a virtual machine. I'm trying to create a baseline and sanitize the it, but it does not work immediately and tells me that I can't because it runs vcenter.

  Thank you

  Scott

  you will need to connect to the ESX host in which your vCenter VM runs on, off, then make a right click on it to upgrade virtual hardware.

  Be sure to upgrade the tools of comments first however.

• Activation of Windows still necessary even if the virtual server on the same hardware to restore

  Hello, I hope someone can answer this.

  Our virtual machine running vmware server ESX 3i 3.5.0 has 2 hard drives, datastore1 and datastore2.   All of our virtual servers are stored in datastore2.   Our hard disk with the datastore2 crashed and he had to be replaced.    We have backups of our virtual servers in datastore2 virtual appliance.

  To solve the problem, we replaced the hard drive crashed and then restored by using the virtual appliance backups, once restored, we noticed that the Windows 2008 requires that the activation of the licenses.

  My question is why does windows need activation when we restored the virtual server for the same hardware? The only thing that has changed is the hard drive.

  Thanks for any help on this issue.

  Export/import unfortunately OVFs does not have an option (at least I'm not aware) to maintain these settings. What you can do - when exporting the virtual machine as an OVF - also download the machine virtual . VMX and .vmxf files. After re - import the OVF, remove it the ESXi host inventory, download the two * .vmx files and add the virtual machine to inventory. -Once asked if you copied or moved the VM on the first power-select "I moved it.

• Can not power on VM after restore acronis backup using VMWare Converter

  I've restored a VM for VSPhere 5.1 using acronis backup VMWare Converter. The conversion completed successfully, but the virtual machine does not start and I get the following error message. Any guidance is appreciated

  An error was received from the ESX host turning on VM Testdns.

  Unable to start the virtual machine.

  Power DevicePowerOn module has failed.

  Unable to create the virtual SCSI device for scsi0:0, ' / vmfs/volumes/deb7682b-d932a578/DNS Test/Testdns/Testdns.vmdk'

  Could not open scsi0:0 disc: disc not supported or not valid type 7. Ensure that the disk has been imported.

  Indeed IT loks like a problem with the used file format (twoGbMaxExtentSparse) hard which is no more supported with ESXi. Your options are either convert virtual disks using the command-line vmkfstools on the ESXi host (in this case, you must load the VMkernel multiextent module) or by downloading the hard files and convert them using vmware-vdiskmanager command-line utility. Another option is to download the virtual machine on a local system, and then use VMware Converter to convert to the ESXi host.

• How to develop a player for the virtual server when no more space is available on the data store?

  Hello

  I have a 'vSphere4.1 - Intel"cluster with lots of available data stores.

  In this group, I have a virtual server "Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2" with 7 discs, all with the ' base' type in the server disk management. ""

  One of the drives needs to be expanded, but in my VMware environment, I noticed that the data with the reader store, cannot be stretched beyond, so I need to take the free space of hard drive to another store of data with free space desired.

  Now to my question:

  Can I make a new record in my VMware environment on another data store and fix it on my Windows 2003 Server? - And if so, how do I add the new free space on the server specific hard drive?

  Kind regards

  Carl-Marius

  1. close the virtual machine in question

  2 remove the HARD disk that you want to extend

  3. in another data store make folder and move the VM HDD (vmdk) in this folder

  4. now change the settings on the virtual machine, add need HDD now this time, select "use the hard disk" option and point to the VMDK file in the other data store

  5 - turn on the virtual machine, check that every thing is okm if ok you can do the HARD disk as dynamic disk is easy to expand

  6. now incerase the VMDK from vsphere client,.

  7 now, with the help of utilities such as partition magic or acronis or utility, you can extend the player

• Is - this convert a virtual server change anything on the original physical server boot disk?

  I then ran the vCenter Converter Standalone and looked at the log roll window on it's finally a few steps.  One of the journal entries said something about changing the structure of the boot (wrong wording), but I wasn't sure if that was the physical disk I just cloned, or is that the virtual server drive just created?  I'm afraid to restart this server in case he just changed the server startup disk and it's 45 minutes in a remote site...  Is - that nothing get changed during execution of the program of conversion?  It really "convert" all about this new virtual disk and now my server won't boot from a physical disk or what?

  Thank you

  Welcome to the Forums - No. you will always be able to start the Dungeon of the physical in mind machine if you have not customized the new virtual machine and it works you can end up with conflicts on your network-

• monitoring of virtual server via API

  Hello

  I'm trying to follow some easy tips using the vmware API.

  Using real project of samples in time I can get some values for the cpu, but I don't know what to do with these values.

  If I choose the number two options ("use of the UC in percent during the interval") I get a value of 2663. Divided by 20 (qSpec.intervalId = 20) it's more the CPU of the vSphere client is displayed.

  Can someone tell me what to do with this value?

  Maybe I just did not find good documentation, but for now the vmware API is a huge "?" for me.

  Is there a simple example or tutorial on how to use the API to control the hardware each virtual server information?

  Thank you

  The color is actually returned as a State of the API, so you can take the string and color coat any report/etc you want. Again, you'll want to familiarize yourself further by looking at the QAnywhere to see what has been returned and you should also take a look at the navigation on the CROWD that gives you a view of all objects in vCenter or ESX (i) via a web browser. It is located in the docs started get, so check!

• Don't know which one to use, virtual server or ESXi

  I have a couple of Windows server running on IBM e series.  They do not work with heavy loads so I thought to bring together them.  I used Virtual Server 1 x front on my desk and loved so I thought to use it, but now that ESXi is available I want to understand if this is a better option.

  I know that ESXi will run the VM faster and uses fewer resources, but from what I read, it seems that it is not as easy to manage.  Everyone notes that the console is difficult to transition to?  Furthermore, what about backups?  For example, if I want to make a snapshot I can run and copy off in my NAS box, but it seems that you cannot directly access the VM ESXi files.  Is this correct?

  Thank you

  Steve

  For example, if I want to make a snapshot I can run and copy off in my NAS box, but it seems that you cannot directly access the VM ESXi files. Is this correct?

  A snapshot is not a good method of backup, and this isn't how it should be used.  A snapshot preserves the State of a virtual machine that allows you to make changes and revert to a previous state if you need to.  Should not be considered as an alternative to long-term backup.  That's why you have to VCB.

  ESX 3i is very easy to manage, the hardest part is not console, so you can not do operations on the host easily, but you can copy files from ESX via the data store.  While ESX is more suited for very large like VM 15 guests or more, and if you are not running a very high load and not many VM VM Server will work fine.  There isn't really a difference in performance between any virtualization product until you start to reach the breaking point.  ESX can accommodate dozens of virtual machines on a computer, is there that ESX is really profitable (and I know that ESX 3i is free) but pound for pound can match VM Ware ESX Server 3i for small host environments, and given that it's windows it does not have a lot to manage.

• Alternative to IIS6.0 as SMTP virtual server

  Hi all

  My company does a cloud-based mail filtering and our last jump internally is fundamentally a vanilla Windows server with IIS6.0 enabled for SMTP delivery to our customers, a receiving SMTP is used by our system to capture logging to a database for our customer portal. A similar setup is used to deliver outgoing messages for customers who use us for the relay.

  We have been asked on the TLS delivery, but not all customers want to implement and if I understand correctly, IIS6.0 essentially deals with TLS as an all or nothing, there is no other opportunistic choice.

  Is there another solution that I can use? Preference is another function/role I can activate the virtual SMTP service, or a complement of standard Windows that we can always use with SMTP sink for our logging.

  EDIT *.

  I got too many answers to this question. I need the correct answer before buying any CALs galore.

  I would take my existing Server 2008 and upgrade to Server 2012 and the purchase of a virtual server in a data center. I have 25 computers that need to communicate with the server throughout the day, all the different machines. I want to know the best option without breaking the Bank. I permit the data center included in the package to my server.
