• 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.

• How to activate the Internet connection on Windows Server 2003 is installed in the virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8?

  I have Windows Server 2003 is installed on a virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8. I need it to learn and practice the use of the Active Directory. I've also set up 3 Windows XP workstations connect to it, which means that they can communicate with Server 2003. What is lacking is the Internet connection on all of them. When I run ping 8.8.8.8 in one of these virtual machines, I get, 'Destination host unreachable.'

  I'm not sure, what if the problem comes from the settings in Windows or the settings of the virtual machine.

  Can someone help me?

  Thank you, guys. I was finally able to put in place. It was quite an ordeal to deal with IP addresses and virtual networks. Here's how I did (in the screenshots) in case someone else needs it.

  (I also confess that it is perhaps one of the ways to implement. Maybe there is an easier way to do it with DHCP...)

  1. in your computer where is installed VMware Workstation 8 begin the "Virtual Network Editor." It is located in the folder of installation of VMware Workstation. And implement the network following (VMnet2 in my case):

  

  2 then in VMware Workstation itself in the virtual machine when Windows Server 2003 is installed set up two network as connections:

  This one is for external access to the Internet:

  

  And this one for intranet communications AD:

  

  3. then in the machine virtual de Windows Server 2003 set up what follows for two network adapters:

  For Internet access:

  

  Then, you need allow this connection to share:

  

  And then for the ad access to workstations (ensure that the static IP address is in the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor). I've also set up DNS to 127.0.0.1 because I installed on this Windows 2003 DNS server:

  

  4. from the Windows 2003 VM try ping 8.8.8.8. It should work now.

  5. go to each workstation, in my case, Windows XP, each in its own virtual machine and set up the network in the VMware Workstation as follows:

  

  6. then in the virtual machine, configure the network connection for Windows XP workstation. Don't forget to assign a new static IP address for each workstation, which not coinside with IP of the domain (this IP address must come from the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor):

  

  7. try first ping the domain, in my case ping 192.168.237.128. And then Internet, ping 8.8.8.8. The two should work!

  Continue with steps [5-7].

• Roles of server separate from the virtual machine on a server?

  Hello

  I'm currently learning the server admin so please forgive my ignorance.

  I bought a server and got Win Server R2 2012. Im trying to focus by trial and error and so want to install multiple roles - that I know is not recommended because some may conflict or cause additional problems etc etc - I am not in an operational environment, but trying to imitate such.

  I've read elsewhere that you can put different roles of server on the individual virtual machines - say, for example, the print server role is on a VM that is separate to a file server role, and she needs to be restarted or goes down for some reason any you loose a single service.

  My questions are the following:

  Is this possible?

  Is this desirable?

  Whats software is used to implement this if yes?

  Hyper-V can be used?

  Thank you in advance.

• Restart host ESXi 4.0 with vCenter 4.0 as a virtual machine

  I have two hosts ESXi 4.0:

  1. the host 1 has vCenter 4.0 installed as a virtual machine with a VMware data recovery VM and some other virtual machines.

  2 host 2 has a number of virtual machines.

  I want to restart the first host and level to ESXi 4.0 Update 1 - I won't stop VMs on host 2, and I want to improve it yet.

  My plan is to stop all VMs on host 1 letting the vCenter VM until the last. I have then place my host in maintenance mode and run the host update application to install the update which will then require a restart of course. Once restarted, I'll connect to host 1 directly by using the vSphere client and restart the VM vCenter. I will then restart all my other virtual machines.

  Is this sound OK? VCenter will restart Fortunately?

  You can also power off the vCenter, register on the other (ESX) If you have the shared storage and try again.

  Be sure only to say I_moved about the question that appear when you turn on the virtual computer.

• Cannot import Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4.

  Hi team,

  I use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone to import certain Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4, using another Windows Server 2008 R2 as the machine Agent Converter. Well, the agent connects to the Windows VM source very well (I used the net use command to create a line of conduct...), perhaps no chance to connect to the computer target VMware ESxi 4 and make the converter doesn't work...

  Following is the error message:

  "Unable to connect to the host specified" from the converter agent machine. " It is perhaps because the host is not available on the network, there is a problem with the network configuration or management on this host services do not react. Check all components of converter to be able to connect.

  So, my question is; is it possible to create a work around (like the net use Windows command above) to make possible the connection of the converter Agent on Linux VMware ESXi 4 machine Windows machine, to directly import the virtual machines of Windows Hyper-V to Linux VMware?

  Thanks in advance,

  It's even easier than that

  Use this: http://www.winimage.com/

  Which will convert *.vhd *.vmdk, so you don't need to do all this... Of course, another way is to start the machines, leaving them on Hyper-V and go through the network and process virtual machine as physical machines and do a P2V on the network...

• Oracle installed on the virtual machine

  Hello world!
  
  In one of the server, Oracle is installed on a virtual machine.
  
  I have to make a change in the way I set up the file settings or something else to improve performance?
  
  What a difference, is to have the Oracle in the area directly compared to what in the virtual machine?
  
  Hope to hear some tips.
  
  Thank you. :)

  There is no difference running Oracle in a virtualized environment or on a box. For the performance gain, the same number of steps are necessary as normally are required. Read the guide to performance optimization of Oracle doc site corresponding to your version of db http://tahiti.oracle.com.

• A new system with a clean install of Win 7 64 bit Pro. Try to install win XP virtual machine.

  A new system with a clean install of Win 7 64 bit Pro.  Try to install win XP virtual machine. The virtual machine "put" file installs and then restarts.  During the configuration phase it reboots it gets 94% done gives a message 'update failed' and said that no files have been modified.  I redownlaoded the file and reinstalled several times.  I changed the bios to make sure that hardware virtualization is enabled.  All tests that microsft has said that my Machine is fine.  However I can not get the software\update of the virtual machine in order to install properly.  Any thoughts?  Thanks in advance.  Bruce

  Thanks in advance.

  Yes OEM12c can be installed on the virtual machines.
