• How the scripts for the new virtual machine storage profile

  Hey all,.

  I have a long script that I've been put together so that our operations people size new virtual machines.  I ask a series of questions for such things as the VM name, cluster, VLAN, plug hardware, OS/template, etc.  I use LucD method to create a temporary copy of a customization OS specification to insert a static IP address.  I have everything works except that I can't figure out how this script drop-down list:

  

  vSphere 5.0, any VCD.  Looks like it should be pretty simple, but I can't find anything on how to do it.  It would be nice to choose this in the New - VM cmdlet somewhere, as well as the use of the GUI.  Any ideas?

  Throw a glance PowerCLI 5.8, when it is available, there is a charge storage profile cmdlets in there (as we showed in our VMworld session this week).

• cannot insert media for the new virtual machine

  Here is the configuration:

  2 x ESXi without shared storage in the same cluster of vCenter DC

  Media (iso files OS) were imported from vShpere in the VCD console, media folder was created the data store of ESX server no.2, noticed that a single iso file might have been a copy at a distance of ESX server n ° 1.

  In console organization VCD, create a virtual machine that is checked is under the n ° 1 ESX server according to vCenter console, try "insert the CD/DVD"... "when power on or off, got the error below in vcloud-container - debug.log:

  I suspect that the VM on the ESX n ° 1 cannot access the media file on a server ESX no.2 (at least it is impossible using vCenter), is there a workaround?

  Thank you

  From what I've observed, the media files are saved on the catlog. If you click Catlog and right-click on the media file and click Open, you would see the details on the file (datastore, host). When you return to My Cloud and select the virtual machine, you will get to see the ESX host where it is now supplied the data store where the CD must be shared with this ESX host where the virtual machine is configured.

  I'm not sure if there is no work around and shared storage usage is mandatory. Try to use Openfiler to create shared storage and use at end of test.

• Suggestion on Vcenter DB migration on the new virtual machine and enhancement vcenter server

  Hello

  I'm looking for any suggestion/plan with Vcenter DB migration steps towards the new virtual machine, and then upgrade the server vcenter

  4.1 for Update1/2

  My plan will be

  (1) creating new virtual machine.

  (2) fresh install 64-bit OS

  (3) migration Vcenter DB of the physical server to the new virtual machine.

  (4) upgrade to Vcenter Server 4.1 update 41 4.1 Update1/2

  Anything else missing then please let me know.

  Thank you

  vmguy

  Hi vmguy

  I agree with this approach

  (3) migration Vcenter DB of the physical server to the new virtual machine.

  As long as you leave the old DB in tact and simply detach and copy the DB to the new Victoria Cross.

  Before you run the upgrade on the new VC and DB.

  This way, you have a restoration plan in case something goes wrong with the upgrade.

  Just to add:

  You must migrate the ADAM database so to maintain the specified permissions vCenter

  See: Migrateing vCenter new host

  Please allow points if you find this useful/correct

• Change the default options for a NEW virtual machine in ESXI 5.1

  Hello

  I am looking for a solution change the 'default' options for a new virtual machine created in ESXI 5.1

  I want to have parameters such as 'cpu/memory HOT-add' default to enabled instead of disabled.

  There may be more options to change to a new virtual machine.

  All those who have an option to change the 'default' options for new virtual machines?

  THX

  You can change the/etc/vmware/config of vSphere host file and add the lines mem.hotadd = 'TRUE' and vcpu.hotadd = 'TRUE '.
  The settings then apply to any VM on this host when virtual machines are turned on...

  I just tried this on a 5.1 ESXi host and it seems to work perfectly...

• . ISO is grayed out when you try to make the new Virtual Machine

  I recently downloaded fusion VM 5 and I am trying to make a virtual machine for windows 7 without using a disc. I use an .iso file that is saved on my mac. When I'm in the new virtual machine Wizard and go click win7.iso I can't because the text and thumbnail are grayed out and won't do anything. Help, please.

  The page you are showing has noting to do with the installation of an ISO Image, it takes to with the virtual hard disk.  The ISO Image is assigned to the CD/DVD in the settings of the Virtual Machine if you don't select it in the wizard at the beginning.

  Documentation (integrated help file).

  1 Select file > new.

  2 the new Virtual Machine Assistant starts.

  3 click on continue without disc to go to the installation media Panel.

  4 in the installation media Panel, click on the image or use operating system installation disc.

  5. use the drop-down menu to locate the file .iso for the operating system.

  6 click Open to identify the file and click on continue to go to control panel of the operating system.

• Impossible to change the path for the shared virtual machines

  Hello

  as long as user root, in the Preferences menu, shared, VMs when I change the location and

  (1) push apply 1 time, the path is created in the right place on the hard drive but when I want to share a virtual machine and move toward this path, the default path is the default: / var/lib/vmware... not the one created by the menu setting.

  Cannot change the location for the shared virtual machines.

  (2) push apply several times: odd error menu

  

  OS: Linux mandriva 64

  Any ideas?  Is this a way to manually change the path in a config file?

  Best respect

  Out of work station - stop pass.
  Then edit datastores.xml - don't know where the files on Linux - I expect it be in/etc/vmware/hostd or something like that

• Create the new virtual machine using Java API vCloud

  Hi guys,.

  I am trying to create the new virtual machine in TIME, but I've stuck here. The API I'm using is vcloud-java-sdk - 1.0.jar.

  Could you please show me a code snippet how to do this?

  For now I do it like this:

  RecomposeVAppParamsType recomposeVAppParamsType = new RecomposeVAppParamsType();

  List the items < CompositionItemParamType > = recomposeVAppParamsType.getItem ();
  ReferenceType vappTemplateVMRef = new ReferenceType();

  // ??? seems that new reference to the new virtual machine should be here. But how to create this VM
  CompositionItemParamType compositionItemParamType = new CompositionItemParamType();
  compositionItemParamType.setSource (vappTemplateVMRef);

  Items.Add (compositionItemParamType);
  ReferenceType vAppRef is Vdc.getVdcByReference (vcloudClient, vdcRef) .getVappRefByName ("vApp_Websrv");.

  Vapp.getVappByReference (vcloudClient, vAppRef) .recomposeVapp (recomposeVAppParamsType);

  One day before I played with Web Services SDK, which is much easier to understand. I was able to create the vApp and VMs in vSphere. Is it possible to import machines virtual vSphere to vCloud? Should what API I use for this?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You cannot add a new empty virtual machine in a paralytic.

  Instead, you can add a virtual machine from an existing vapp, vapptemplate.

  To import a vsphere vm to vcloud.

  Import vsphere vm as VAPP in vcloud. VMWVimserver-> importVmAsVApp()

  The importation of vsphere vm, as vAppTemplate, in vcloud. VMWVimserver-> importVmAsVAppTemplate()

  See also the example of ImportVmAsvAppTemplate.java, which is part of the vcloudjavasdk group.

  Kind regards

  Rajesh Kamal.

• Defining the new Virtual Machine

  When you set the new Virtual Machine, what is the size of the virtual disk to specify? (Default value is 8GB) Should we check "Allocate all disk space now" option?

  No, this hard disk space actually leaves your portable office/computer hard drive free space.

  Look at your free space of the desktop and then add a new hard drive with 30 concerts or more.   Check again, and note that this space has disappeared.   Then you can just delete it and it comes back.

  Yes, just use the ' Add ' button.

  If you find this information useful, please give points of

  'correctness '.

  or "useful."

• OsCustomizationSpec and OSCustomizationNicMapping they are a good way to set up the new virtual machine for the model

  I build a script to generate auto magicly VM when I have import information from a csv file. I have the latest PowerCli, I am trying to build servers r2 Sever 2012 model.  I tried several OsCustomizationSpec (OCS) of in the hope of getting something to work, but I had no luck so far.  In VCenter, it shows that it applies the OCS, but is not apear to have an impact on the server.  I have disabled UAC since the last time that I tried it so maybe that will make a difference.  I am under ESXi 5.1 update 2, just to try to give all the necessary information.  Ideally, I'd like Sysprep, the value of intellectual property, change the computer name and join the server to the domain.  That's all! lol I have the book "VMware vSphere PowerCLI Reffernece, automating vSphere Administration, I walked through step by step.  The new version of PowerCli seems not have the x 86 limitation as earlier versions of PowerCli.  I tried so many different things, I'm not sure what to put in place as a starting point.

  # Save the object credentials with permission to join the domain.
  $DomainCredentials = get-Credential "domain\testername."
  # Clone our Spec by adding the domain information.
  $Spec = get-OSCustomizationSpec "Windows Server 2012 R2"
  $Spec += get-OSCustomizationNicMapping - Spec $Spec
  #$Spec | Select *.

  # Get our VM
  # Change network settings
  Get - VM BigServername | Get-NetworkAdapter | Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkName nic - 172.16.25 - VLAN225 - connected: $true '
  -Confirm: $false | out-null
  # Close the comments to make change.
  Stop-VMGuest - VM $VM - confirm: $false | out-null
  # Wait while feedback stops
  While ($vm. ExtensionData.Runtime.PowerState - not "poweredOff")
  {
  Start-Sleep - seconds 1
  $vm. ExtensionData.UpdateViewData ('Runtime.PowerState')
  }
  # Apply Spec customization to apply the new network settings
  Get - VM "BigServername" |
  Set-VM - OSCustomizationSpec "R2 Windows Server 2012" - confirm: $false |
  Start-VM

  I can rebuild the model, or something else, we must do this work.

  OR - is simply not the best way to configure the VM?  If not, what Sysprep?

  Good news, but first, I would really like to know where the log files are on which server to the OsCustomization process.

  I decided to reverse engineer and create a CSOS within vCeneter and once I got to work, I kept creating new CSO via PowerCli until I could get that to work, create a new virtual machine.  Once I got this to work, I have tryied to apply on a cloned vm, with no parameters. I got it works too.  I tried to go back to my original image, but I couldn't get this to work.  Something's wrong with this picture.  He wrath that the problem was related to the permissions on the local client.

  New OSCustomizationSpec - OrgName company OSType - Windows - ChangeSid-Server "vcenter.dom.com" - name PowerCliOnly4 - persistent administrator-Type FullName - AdminPassword! password123 - zone "Eastern (USA and Canada)" AutoLogonCount - 3 - domain dom dadmin - DomainUsername - DomainPassword! password123 NamingScheme - vm-Description "PowerCli Use only" - confirm: $false

  This seems to be very picky.  Because the area is one of the parameters, you cannot put it in the DomainUsername, no dom\dadmin. The part that I really want to know how to get more, is what happens if your vm has a different local administrator as the administrator account.  It turns out that FullName - is not the account that it to connect locally with tires.

  I think that it is good to know that the virtual machine reboot 4 or 5 times as it goes through this process.  It breaks is you try and do something for the virtual machine that interrupt the process.  I don't know that I'll think more questions in a second.

  In addition, it cost he had some problems with the put between quotation marks, single or double around the password, but I did not check this again, I just know that once I took them, he began to work.  I ran on other issues while testing as I was using a single IP address, so if I do not disable the test VM, the following would not work because of the conflct network, maybe I shouldn't admit that... lol

• Assessment of Windows has expired the vcenter - how to recreate in a new virtual machine?

  For reasons I won't go into detail, the Windows evaluation period has expired for a VM running vCenter server for a project I'm working on that.  They have the license key is not the media that they installed, so once they have the appropriate support, they will create a new virtual machine with the installation of operating system licensed correctly and install vCenter Server/MSDE on it from scratch (the same way the other VM was built).  What is the best way to get over as much information as possible from the old instance of vCenter?  (We can not do related modes because we cannot connect to the old VM more.)

  > Is there a good way to replicate this info from the old DB to new DB

  Well don't know if you want to say that Oracle or SQL.  If it is easy SQL, simply move the entire file *.dbf VC points currently on the new server of DB.  That's why I love SQL server, easy migration.

• Could not start the new virtual machine or VM remove a data store

  Hi guys,.

  I'm not new with ESXi, but my knowledge with vCenter and Clustering must be improved, so here's my problem.

  We have a Cluster of 2 ESXi 4.1 hosts on a San with 2 VMFS.

  My first problem is when I created a new virtual machine and try to start it, I got an error message similar to the one included with this post.

  My Second problem is more picky. Since I am unable to start my new virtual machine, I had removed from drive and I had created a new. But when I took a peek in the data store where was deleted VM, the directory with all the files are still there. When I try to delete it, I got an error message telling me that it is impossible to proceed.

  Q please?

  Best regards

  Stéphane

  82% of failure can be other issues.  The article below

  Also, I saw, where bad records DB for your ESXi hosts can cause weird problems as well.  The host with the problematic guest, can you do a right click on it and "disconnect"?  Try to get out of the bunch at the data center level.  If you get an error vCenter, that means return folder DB.  From there, while the host is in a disconnected state, remove the host to vCenter, then "add host". This will update the DB record.  Maybe worth it?

• Problem fixing existing vmdk to the new virtual machine

  Hello

  Just upgraded to Fusion 6 and things seem ok (except for the dreaded license bug, but it's ok now).

  I'm having a problem attaching a form of virtual disk existing a VM - operation - existing. Basically, all the vmdk files are grayed out and non-eligible, regardless of the option to share / copy / to support the disc.

  I checked that I have full R/W access to the fie (and it works fine if I fire up the other virtual machine).

  Any idea?

  Well I ended up adding another player new to the virtual machine, I wanted to and the drafting of the description of disk (Disk DescriptorFile #)

  in the manually - vmdk file works great...

• Move the HARD drive to the new virtual machine

  I think it's a real simple question, so a simple answer is very well...

  I currently have a computer virtual running windows server 2003 x 86.  This whole system is on C: and the D: is strictly files/shared user.  I need to upgrade this server 2 k 8 R2 x 64.  My plan is to detach the D: to the x 86 box, create a new x 64 VM and reattach the D: from the old server and re-create the shares.

  My question is, when I do that, I would wait to see the security reset on the player?  As in the new operating system will reorganize the security on all of its default value...

  Other issues anyone do with it?  Simple enough?  It is about 300 GB of user data, so I'm just a little nervous about it.  (it is supported of course however).

  Thanks for any info!

  I think that when you remove the drive and re - join a new virtual machine, it will inherit the rights of the current operating system. It is the same concept as if you had a USB HDD shared, connected to a PC, removed and attached to another PC. You would lose your actions and all other settings.

  You should not have problems - make sure to note all the shared available on disk as well as any special permissions (as denies explicit for Active Directory).
