• vCenter shows all virtual machines and the host is disconnected

  Hello

  I have a two nodes in the cluster ESXi6 U2 (recently updated to 5.5) running on hp dl380p gen8. For some reason all the virtual machines are running on host A (HA and DRS are enabled).  vCenter shows all virtual machines and host A is disconnected. Cannot connect to A host using vSphere client or web client. Cannot vMotion the VMs. Impossible to activate SSH. Connection DCUI works very well. Cannot perform any action VM

  All virtual machines are in place are running at this point. I don't want to restart the virtual machines. Can you help me please?

  Thank you

  AJ

  Frozen screen DCUI came back to life. The active SSH access, killed the running process. The host of running backs.

  See you soon,.

• Sharing of virtual machines and the NETWORK adapter settings

  I usually have multiple NICs per physical machine, and I often map more than one NETWORK card in a virtual machine. This does all work well with 'regular' virtual machines and virtual network Editor. I use 10.0.1 on linux 64-bit Workstation.

  As soon as I share a virtual machine, the NIC mappings cannot be changed in any useful way. I can spend only NAT, HostOnly and connected by a bridge in a ComboBox control, without the ability to select a specific vmnet. Although connections are bridged, they are displayed as NAT, which makes no sense at all...

  What is the reason for this? I'm doing something wrong? If this is the intended behavior, it's shared VMs useless for me...

  Kind regards

  Thomas

  I reinstalled VMware Workstation and now I understand what happened.

  I need ever - and HostOnly-setting in NAT network, so the first thing I usually do after installing VMware is to remove them and fills vmnet0 to eth0 and eth1 to vmnet1. This works perfectly well with non-shared virtual machines.

  For shared virtual computers, this mapping has been messed up somehow. Now it seems to work fine, I removed all the vmnets and has created vmnet10-> eth0 and vmnet11-> eth1.

  If the problem is solved for me; but I can't say how the maps I screwed up. I certainly had two bridged devices, but has been shown only a single bridged device.

• Get a virtual machine of the esxi Server 4

  Hello

  I'm trying to get a virtual machine Server esxi for backup reasons, I found no way in the windows of vSphere client.

  Could someone show me how please?

  Welcome to the community,

  one option is to export the virtual machine (in the 'File' menu) as an OVF/EGGS.

• Stop and restart the virtual machines in the remote server

  I need to close virtual machines running guests 4 1 ESX from a remote server (IBM System i).

  The remote server in fact control the storage used by ESX and VM OS, so I'll have to scripts running on the remote server that:

  Stop the virtual machine

  Performs maintenance

  Reboot the virtual machine

  I tried to understand the big picture of the reading discussions here, but I'm still confused.

  VMA is to provide the best way for the virtual machines of withdrawal from a script running on a remote server?

  Scripts can I use SSH to connect to the vSphere environment to run scripts or issue the command?

  Thank you.

  vCLI (really its vSphere SDK for Perl), PowerCLI, VI Java, etc are all vSphere SDK to correct and they are a of the client-side bindings different scripts and programming languages which bind to the vSphere API. When I say 'API', I mean using one of these SDK is you use the vSphere API to perform the work.

  The SDK is initiated on the remote server, this can be windows, linux, etc as long as it supports one of these boxes to tools. In general, for admins, you will use either vCLI (vSphere SDK for Perl) that supports Linux and Windows, or if you are more windows-oriented, you can use PowerCLI.

  Documentation has been referenced in my first post, please take some time the documents because they provide much more detail on the use cases for each + a lot of examples with orders. Yet once, there no involved SSH if you use the vSphere API. As I told, vMA is a virtual appliance, you can download and start using if you do not want to install vCLI or PowerCLI on a remote system, this is assuming that you are comfortable in a Linux environment. If you're not, then I highly recommend using PowerCLI, who will need a remote server for Windows.

• mix and match between vsphere 4.0 virtual machine and the hardware esxi 3.5 version run 4 on vsphere 4.

  If you run a virtual machine on vsphere and not upgrade the virtual hardware, this has it problems?

  My plan was to install on a server and then machines of vm, vsphere without upgrading the hardware on the machine to the virtual machine.

  So I can then migrate the machines on my esxi 3.5 server if necessary.

  Like many of you, I plan to update my test servers before upgrading my production servers.

  If you have 3.x hosts in your cluster, and then I'd wait for upgrade virtual hardware and your guests VMware tools until all your ESX hosts are on the same generation.

  Here is a good thread is worth a visit as well

• Dedicated network adapter to the virtual machine and the host computer not let can visit his profile

  OK, here's my question, I know how to give themselves a phyiscal nic to a vmware, but I wanted to take it one step further and do not leave the host send or receive data from this network card, only the virtual machine can use this network/NIC...

  Here's my reasoning, I have to network conections, one is for my internal/field network and the second is a direct connection to the internet (Comcast) I don't want to use to separate the machines have for internet connection, I want to be on the same machine phyiscal and have just the vmware machine talking to comcast... is it possible?  I am running VMware workstation 7, last update.

  Thank you

  Cdrshm

  I assume you are using a Windows host?

  If Yes...

  -first set up networking networking with vmnetcfg.exe

  -assign vmnet0 to the network card for the internal network

  -assign vmnet2 to the network card used for direct access to the internet

  -Right-click on the map network-icon in the systray and access the properties of the network adapter for vmnet2

  -Disable all other protocols and the Protocol of vmware_bridge for this network adapter

  result: a virtual machine that uses vmnet2 can directly access the internet and the host has no IP address for this network adapter - and therefore cannot use it.

• Copy Virtual Machine on the ESX Server windows file server (files)

  I made a copy of a computer virtual with Vmware converter and it is sitting on the windows file server, is there a way to copy the files to the server, ESX4?  Something like a copy and paste?

  Thanks in advance!

  Simply right click on the data store you want to place the files on (Summary tab when selecting one of the hosts connected to this data store), select "Browse the data store" and then use the button "transfer files to this data store. You can use it to download a folder or file from a target, that you access from your system. It might make things easier if you create a folder in the store of data first, and then download the files one at a time. Make sure that the virtual machine is turned off when you do.

  Another option might be to vMotion/migrate it from current storage to a data store in the ESX environment. I did not the same type of migration before, it will or will not be, works correctly. I moved files VM from a source, see my workstation, up to a data store that the ESXi host has a connection to before without problem (with the virtual machine powered off course).

• Create a virtual machine with the physical RAM total?

  I want to virtualize ESXi 4 on my MacBook Pro. However, I have 2 GB of RAM and ESXi 4 requires a minimum of 2 GB.

  I posted in the community of ESXi (is it possible to virtualize ESXi 4 with less than 2 GB of RAM?) and there is a solution for using ESXi with less RAM, but the problem is that I first need to run the installation with 2 GB.

  Basically, I tried to create a virtual machine with 2 GB, but the maximum I can use is 1840MB. Is it something that I do with Fusion to increase this limit? I understand that I am under a host operating system and requiring too little RAM, but just to get through the ESXi installation isn't it possible to push the VM of RAM to 2 GB and the host what OS increase the pagefile to deal with the lack of RAM?

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Thank you

  You may be able to edit the .vmx file and change the memsize option either 2048 or more. The merger is able to start a virtual machine with more memory that the host, just UI prevents common users to exceed the limits of security in general.

  I'm not quite sure what would happen if the VM actually tries to use all of the memory. If all goes well, it will be just talk and run slowly. Of course, the worst case are that it crashes.

• How can I associate the virtual machine to the physical NETWORK card?

  Hello

  I have a host, has two physical network adapters.

  I want to use one for VM and give an ip address for this but I do not know how to configure it. In my view, "Manage virtual networks" fuction for this...

  Thank you!

  You should already have a phyiscal WHAT NIC assigned to VMnet0 (bridged). So if the choice as vonnection for a guest. Create a second connection open by assigning the physical NIC then to VMnet2, for example (VMnet1 is already in use). Assign this connection to the second guest.

• Virtual hosts and the CF Server installation

  CF8
  FC8 (yes I know, it must really be RHEL for support)
  Apache 2.2.6
  
  
  I'm testing on a new Web server to a client. We strive to use servers virtual apache with a single instance of CF8. It will be just a few virtualhosts, not a large amount.
  
  After a few problems with the facilities and the connector, I was able to get CF8 running with apache. After you have configured the virtualhosts I could only get to the CFIDE directory after you add it as an alias in the virtualhost config.
  
  If I try to pull up a test file of cfm to a virtualhost site SEE reports file not found. Yet he will shoot to the top of the site administrator. I guess it's because the path of the /CFIDE that corresponds to the root of the main Web server.
  
  Can I run a single instance of CF on apache and its virtual hosts? I know that CF is running in the VirtualHosts as its a CF error screen However, it seems fair that CF is very confused when it comes to directory paths.

  I fought the issue throughout the day. I was so happy to come across your post. Unfortunately, there is no attached response. :-( I thought about her in my installation. I hope that it will be beneficial to you.

  It turns out that the problem was a permissions error. When Coldfusion was unable to read the directory of my virtual server there default wwwroot standard. To fix it I did a "chmod-r a + rX/home/jason/public_html. Then I tried loading the page again and everything was good.

• Get the IP of the virtual machine and MAC

  Hello

  I'm trying to get the IP of the virtual machine and the MAC one of my data centers.

  When I run that the following script two things happen:

  1. I don't see a vm in the output of the csv file.

  2. when I send the output to the quick PowrCLI I see only a mac and one IP address for virtual machines with network cards.

  Script

  ---------

  $MV = Get-Data Center $DC | Get-vmhost | Get - VM

  {foreach ($VM to $VMs)

  $VMx = get-view $VM.ID

  $HW = $VMx.guest.net

  foreach ($dev to $HW)

  {

  foreach ($ip in $dev.ipaddress)

  {

  $dev | Select

  @{Name = 'Name'; {Expression = {$vm.name}}.

  @{Name = 'IP address'; Expression is {$ip}},

  @{Name = 'MAC'; {Expression = {$dev.macaddress}} |

  Export-CSV VM - IP - Info.csv - NoTypeInfo

  }

  }

  }

  My console output, tested on a virtual machine with two external network cards and an internal interface "dummy".

  Name                               IP                                  MAC

  ----                                   --                                    ---

  VM1 192.x.x.xxx xx

  You see the addresses expected in summary using vSphere Client VM?

  Oh sorry, I forgot the PS 3.0 requirement.

  You can put all the entries in a table and export all at the end of the script.

  $out = @)
  $VMs = get-data center $DC | Get-vmhost | Get - VM

• Possible to suspend a virtual machine, and then disconnect the SAN?

  I decided to do an interview on a small environment ESX 3.5 and I was wondering if its possible to suspend a VM and then disconnnect the SAN to maintain SAN.  If I record data suspends storage local would this work? Is it more fast and stop the virtual machine and the power save?  There is the performance of 6 virtual machines on a single host with a single iSCSI SAN.

  was wondering if its possible to suspend a VM and then disconnnect the SAN to maintain SAN.

  A suspension is identical to a power off, it shows just the guest to Hibernate.  So yes, it is safe.

  Is it more fast and stop the virtual machine and the power save? There is the performance of 6 virtual machines on a single host with a single iSCSI SAN.

  No its not faster, its more fast and more reliable to power off the virtual machine rather than suspend.  If you need to follow the process and suspend its critical use, otherwise a scheduled interruption is better.
