• migrate from vcenter host to another host ESXi while offline?

  I need to move the virtual computers that host my vCenter and vCenter database to ESXi servers in another cluster, the new cluster uses CVS is not the case of the old Cluster. So I need to turn off two virtual machines to migrate them on.

  Would this work and be the best method?

  Stop vCenter and stop virtual machines for vCenter and the vCenter DB.

  Log in to the old esx server and unregister the VM

  VMware-cmd - s unregister /vmfs/volumes/XXX-XXX/vcenter-db/vcenter-db.vmx
  VMware-cmd - s unregister /vmfs/volumes/XXX-XXX/vcenter/vcenter.vmx

  Connect again esx Server (in the new cluster) and register VM

  VMware-cmd - s register /vmfs/volumes/XXX-XXX/vcenter-db/vcenter-db.vmx
  VMware-cmd - s register /vmfs/volumes/XXX-XXX/vcenter/vcenter.vmx

  Connect again esx Server (in the new cluster) and start the virtual machines

  VMware-cmd /vmfs/volumes/XXX-XXX/vcenter-db/vcenter-db.vmx start
  VMware-cmd /vmfs/volumes/XXX-XXX/vcenter/vcenter.vmx start

  No, you cannot vmotion - the virtual machines will be still low - will connect you directly to the ESXi hosts - unregister the form the old host vm - connect to the new host and redisster virtual machines to the new host and light - and remember cautious on the DB server first

• Migrate from SQL Developer to another machine with all parameters

  Is there a documented way to migrate from SQL Developer to another machine? I want that all my preferences (format sql, shortcuts etc.) history of sql, user, etc. connections reports are available on the new machine.

  I know how to export/import connections. But for the rest, the pointers appreciated. I'm moving from a Win 7 32 bit to Win 7 64-bit machine. SQL Dev version is 4.0.2.15.

  Thank you

  Manish

  Move your user defined reports in folders. You can save each of them with a single click in this way - to the folder level.

  We have a permanent application in the JDev team to build in the IDE, the ability to export/import settings.

  You can retrieve the directory systemX.X.X.X on the application data directory and must have almost everything.

• Is it possible to migrate a virtual machine between vcenter servers programmatically?

  Hi all

  My question is quite simple:

  -Is it possible to migrate a virtual machine between vcenter servers programmatically?

  Let's say we have two data centers:

  vcenter1

  -vm1

  -vm2

  vcenter2

  -vm3

  Is it possible to migrate vms between vcenter2 and vcenter1 programmatically? (or vice versa)?

  Also, I'm assuming that the appropriate VLAN and data warehouses across the different vcenters!

  Thank you

  Luis

  It is not possible, vMotion or migration live is in an instance of vCenter, it cannot be covered through two even if you have the data store accessible both vCenters and sets of the host. At best, you can unregister the virtual machine of vCenter 1 host and re-save as on vCenter 2 host, but once again, it is while the virtual machine is turned off.

• How to migrate a virtual machine from the server with DAS to another server

  Hi guys,.

  questions. 'More' essential Kit. VMotion is available

  I have 2 physical servers, two of them have DAS (not SAN Central). SO I want to migrate a virtual machine on server A to server B. is it possible in this situation?

  Or should I have versions of more expensive VMWare do?

  Thank you
  Dmitry

  You can use clone. I would close first to the bottom of the virtual machine, but a VM slowed would be very nice clone. You can also use the VMware conveter. VMware converter can make a hot clone, including synchronization of last-minute changes, stop the source machine and put under tension the clone.

• Migration of virtual machines in ESXi 4.1 to 5.5 to new hardware

  I'm new to VMware and our company bought 4 new servers and a SAN to replace our old VSphere 4.1 installation of 12 year.  The old configuration consisting of a server VCenter 4.1 physics 2003, 2 Dell 2900 ESXi hosts and 1 MD300i SAN.  Gen9 again the Installer 4 HP DL360 (3 host 1 VCenterServer) and MSA 2040.  Can someone please explain to me what would be the best way to go about moving more of our VM current for the new hardware? I found this from a previous post here, but it does not move the virtual machine to a SAN to another.

  Migration of the VMs of ESXi 4.x to 5.5

  "If I understand your question, continue to build the new environment of 5.5 with your 3 hosts from scratch 'ignoring' your old hosts. Once your new environment up & running, connect 4.1 guests to your new server vCenter Server and vMotion to move virtual machines while they run to the new cluster (live migration without interruption).

  VMTools upgrades do not have place automatically during migration.

  Once your virtual machines on new hosts, update tools as usual and you can then also upgrade virtual hardware of your virtual machines.

  Virtual HW update is optional, though; If you do not have the VMs that need the new features you can skip this last step and keep them as they are. »

  TYIA.

  The previous answer is pretty good, but I would like to add a few elements.

  You can 'disconnect' your 4.1 hosts of your old vcenter with running virtual machines, and then when you connect the hosts in your environment of 5.5 it will import your VM running as well.  As long as you have properly configured virtual networks you can live migrate vmfs old host and the old store of data simultaneously via the web client as long as your esx license allows it.  Otherwise close your virtual machines down to 1 at a time to migrate them above.

  Alternatively, you can consider running your vcenter as a virtual machine within the cluster it manages.  This gives you some DRS and HA for vcenter, plus a 4th host for virtual machines.

  If you don't have additional license you can also install your new hosts of 5.5 and run for 60 days before that you upgrade your 4.1 licenses to apply to your new host.

• Migration of virtual machines to vSphere 4.1 to vSphere 6.0

  As the title eludes to, we are standing up a new physics 6.0 Server vCenter Server and need to migrate virtual machines of 4.1 6.0 guest hosts.  I'd love to take the time to create a script that does the following; However, before heading down this path, I wanted to do a ping of the group to see if someone has done something like this before or have pointers to scripts that perform some of these actions already.  Some background and concept:

  • Running 4.1.
  • A new physical Center of vCenter 6.0 will be deployed side-by-side with 4.1.
  • The existing configuration of vSphere HA allows for 1-2 guests down without impact to the virtual machines.
  • The two environment and will be Cisco N1KV, SAN access shared for the same data storages.
  • A new vCenter will be lifted.
  • A single host is identified and VMs evacuated to the remaining hosts.
  • This host will be in maintenance mode, removed from the cluster and close.
  • A clean install of ESXi 6 will be done and set up spec.
  • N1KV will be deployed.

  To digress on the details at the moment... Now markets PowerCLI desired.  This idea is ad hoc and on the fly, so as I write this.

  • identify all the virtual machines associated with a specific data store - will need to work with the local client to schedule downtime for virtual machines
  • Stop the virtual machine
  • Remove the VM of the vCenter 4.1 inventory
  • to connect to vCenter 6.0
  • Add the virtual machine to the vCenter 6.0 inventory (and once we have passed the first host in the new cluster, automatically place the virtual machine by using the DRS)
  • Reconfigure the vmnic with the new Cisco 1000V dvs (will be the same name on both sides, but has a different ID)
  • pull in the keys and the values to a CSV and advancedsetting set to harden
  • Turn on the virtual machine
  • Perhaps a test of ping for the NETWORK card to check connectivity

  The order in which the steps are performed can be switched around, as long as the desired end result is the same: migration effectively virtual machines between two disparate solutions with single medium sharing as a data store.  In which I realize will always be VMFS3.  New data stores VMFS-5 is another task for another time.

  Thank you for your time, suggestions, links, etc...

  @LucD - hi.

  These steps are quite possible with PowerCLI.

  See the script after skeleton, he probably needs some adjustments to fit your environment and requirements

  $dsName = "xyz".

  $vm = get - VM - $dsName data store

  Stop-VMGuest - VM $vm - confirm: $false

  Remove-VM - $vm VM - confirm: $false

  Disconnect-VIServer-Server vc41 - confirm: $false

  $vc6 = Connect-VIServer-Server vc6

  $newVM = $vm | New-VM - DiskPath $_. ExtensionData.Config.Files.VmPathName - confirm: $false

  # Suppose a CSV file with

  # Key, value

  # key1, value1

  # key2, value2

  $advSettings = import-Csv - UseCulture advSettings.csv

  {foreach ($obj in $newVM)

  $advSettings | %{

  Get-AdvancedSetting - $obj entity - name $_. Key |

  Game-AdvancedSetting - value of $_. Value - confirm: $false

  }

  }

  Start-VM - $newVM VM - confirm: $false

  $newVM |

  Select Name,

  @{N = "Available"; E = {Test-Connection - ComputerName $_.} Guest.HostName - County 1 - Quiet}}

• Migration to another host fails

  Hello community,

  I wrote a shutdown script, enable hotplug memory and cpu, migrate to another host and start the virtual machine after all done tasks.

  I use the following command to migrate the virtual machine to another host:

  Get-VM-name $strNewVMName | Move-VM-Destination esxhost1

  This command starts the task to migrate the engine shut down vm to esxhost2 to esxhost1

  Once the task is completed, the script starts the virtual machine with the command: Get-VM-name $strNewVMName | Start-VM

  But here's my problem:

  I see in the recent tasks that the VM becomes unsubscribe from the 'new' esxhost1 and resave to esxhost1. The virtual machine starts now on the esxhost1

  It works fine when I migrates the engine shut down vm manually via vCenter but not with my script

  Does anyone have an idea to solve my problem?

  Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas

  It is certainly very strange, I went through your steps manually and came to power on a virtual machine on the new host without problem. You have the installer of DRS? or who sits on the local storage of this host?

• Migrate the virtual machine fails - "a general system error occurred.

  I have a host in my cluster which I am unable to migrate all the machines. Migration always fails at 13% with the error "a general error has occurred: There is no message after the colon. In tasks and events, I see the following under events:

  • "Migration error" warning: a SNMP trap was sent
  • Alarm "migration error" [name of the VM] action
  • Alarm "migration failure" changed from gray to gray
  • Cannot migrate to [NEW HOST], [STORAGE]

  The substantive test on the list is the first.

  VCenter is version 5.5 and ESXi is 5.1 on the source host and destination.

  The lack of information in the error message let me very well what to do next. It is a cluster of production so I'd like some suggestions that don't involve slaughter the hosted VMs. thanks in advance for your help.

  Take a look at this KB: KB VMware: VMware ESXi 5.x host stops responding when you try a vMotion migration or a configuration change

• Migrate a virtual machine with snapshots.  Works?

  In the past, moving VMs between databases or host with snapshots was deadly.

  It still happens in ESX4?

  ESX4 does not throw the warning, as did ESX3.5.

  You can migrate a virtual machine with snapshots, you can just see a different question.  You try to make a vMotion in vCenter?

  What is the symptoms you see?

• Migrate a Virtual Machine like a physical machine

  Here's my situation...

  I had a virtual machine on a Virtual Infrastructure environment.  I wanted to migrate this virtual machine to another ESX environment.  The source environment is maintained by our IT Department and they will not help us or give us access to their environment.  Now we have a local administrator on the computer, virtual access, we decided to migrate the virtual computer as if it were a physical machine (physical machine to the coverter drop-down selection and installation of the agent on the source VM and when you are done uninstalling) in order to bypass interaction with HER.  The virtual machine migrated but very well and seems to work very well.  My question is, is there any potential problems migrating a virtual machine in this way (drivers, hardware, etc.)?

  Thank you!

• Migration of Time Machine to the new drive, backups are larger than the Original drive

  I am currently migrating my Time Machine backups from a 2 TB WD My Passport for Mac to a new WD 6 to my book for Mac. I have 63 backups on the old disk, and Finder says that the reader has TB filled 1.96.

  However, each individual backup is about 350 GB, which certainly does not. I think normally it was something weird with the Finder listing the wrong sizes, except that when I copy the backups to the new disk, they copy effectively to 350GB a piece. I initially tried to copy everything the ~ 2 TB Backups.backupdb at once, but it was so great, she didn't, then I copy on each both a backup in a folder that I had planned to rename "Backups.backupdb" at the end. At this rate, I will fill new TB cases 6 drive long before copying all backups on.

  How is that possible?

  Just to be complete, I'm using a Macbook Pro of the retina 2012, 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 graphics card Intel HD 4000 1536 MB, 512 GB of storage, under OS X 10.11.3.

  Time Machine saves the previous backups for the continuous backup size to become more wider until there is no more space on the backup drive. It is quite normal because Time Machine is an archive backup utility.
