• Mark all virtual machines with a specific name text

  I need a script that will mark all the virtual machines that we have with '_replica' in the name.  I am just know PowerCLI and don't know enough to create the script but we have an immediate need for it so hopefully someone here can help me get started.  I intend to schedule the script to run periodically (assuming this is possible) to ensure that all replicas VMs are coded correctly so that they are excluded from the backup and replication jobs (we exclude them by tag in Veeam).

  Thanks for the help.

  Matt

  How about something like this?

  $mytag = Get-Tag -Name "MyTag"
  $vmlist = get-vm | Where-Object {$_.name -like '*_Replica*'}
  foreach ($vm in $vmlist) {
    New-TagAssignment -Tag $mytag -Entity $vm

• How can I get the version of VMware to virtual machines with powercli officer?

  How can I get the version of VMware View Agent running on a virtual machine with powercli or view Powercli?

  As much as I know there is no cmdlet PowerCLI for this, but you can use the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet and interrogate the Win32_Product class.

  By running the following. You can add a Where clause to return only the Agent of the view

• Cannot create a virtual machine with a vmdk file copied from another location, please find the attached error

  Hi all

  I copied a file from one place vmdk and try to make a new virtual machine with this vmdk file. But when I turn on after the creation of vm error is coming. Error in the text and the image below

  Power on the virtual machine: cannot open scsi0:0 disc: disc not supported or not valid type 7. Ensure that the disk has been imported.

  See the error of the stack for more details on the cause of this problem.

  This error message generally if the hard files have been copied hosted as VMware Workstation product, which uses a format of sparse file that is not supported on an ESXi host. Instead of the hard copy, you can use VMware Converter, or - if you prefer - you can convert the hard using vmware-vdiskmanager (before transfer) or vmkfstools (after downloading). I deal to use vmkfstools you will need to load the mutliextent module (see for example "Clone or migration operations involving virtual discs non-VMFS on ESXi fail with an error" vSphere 5.1 Release Notes)

• URGENT! After installing 6 Fusion and creation of new virtual machine with Windows 7, I get a message "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit". WHAT SHOULD DO?

  After purchase, installation and activation Fusion 6 with the license key, I had a library of VMS showing 2 Boot Camp partitions. It's strange that I only have 1.
  I tried to activate them but received a message that it is out of date in 2 cases. (see annex 1)

  I started a new virtual machine with a Windows 7 installation disc directly on my HD. I have provided a way to do this and followed the instructions of Fusion to the screen.

  Apparently, everything went well and after several restarts, the installation appears to be over (see annex 2) I tried to open and run the installed Windows 7. I had however a window with the following message:

  "Pending the unit.

  "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit. Please wait until the unit starts automatically, or interact with the virtual machine below. ' (see annex 3)

  Here Windows 7 seems to start but after a while with the home screen and of the Øresund finishing this window closed and open a new window called library Virtual Machine on the left showing the partitions of Bootcamp and the Virtual Machine Windows 7 x 64 and in the middle gray a representation of what is supposed to be the Windows 7 desktop. (see Exhibit 4). When I opened the settings button a window with different setting options pops up. This mark means to me that Windows is installed but the final opening isn't the case

  When you quit Vmware Fusion indeed Windows seems to be close (see part 5)

  What is going on? What has gone wrong? What should I do? I don't know how to solve the problem.

  I should f.i. remove the virtual machine from Windows 7 and is free automatically made partition on my HD as the reboot with the Windows installation disc? or y at - it another way to enter the UNIT?

  Help, please!

  Thanks in advance

  Your virtual machine is running. It is in the unit - which each windows gets its own window of Mac - and you have no application Windows running, there is no visible windows. You can start a Windows application in the start of Fusion menu in the menu bar at the top right, or turn on the Windows task bar on the view menu and start applications from there. Or use the view menu to switch to the Single mode or full-screen, which puts all of your Windows desktop in a window separate from Mac.

  You do not have two partitions to Boot Camp on your Mac, you have two virtual machines named "Boot Camp partition".

  The message about it being unable to enter the unit arrives while the merger is pending for the tools begin to run, because the tool is necessary for the unit.

• Hardware changes reported after moving from the virtual machine to a host of W7 W8 host.

  I tried to move a virtual machine with the guest OS Windows 8 used in the VMware Workstation 9.02

  my HP desktop with Intel core i7-2600 processor, running Windows 7

  to my Toshiba laptop with Intel core i7-4700MQ processor, running the latest version of Windows 8.

  I did something like that all the time with my old laptop with i7-2630QM running Windows 7.

  It turns out that something changes significantly when the host of the laptop operating system passes W7 to W8.

  After starting the virtual machine on my laptop W8, I clearly stated it had been MOVED and NOT copied.

  Unfortunately when I try to use one of the Office 2010 applications, I get a message that the change of
  HW has been detected, and that I must again request (purchase new license I guess).

  Can someone help me solve this problem. For me the time is important.

  I'm leaving for a business trip to 3 weeks and the old laptop is no longer appropriate.

  Andrew J

  Hello

  It seems to be normal, because the changes to the hardware (RAM, CPU,...)

  may be a reason for reactivation of Microsoft Windows or Microsoft Office.

  I had such a situation, the upgrade of RAM.

  So if you have the license, activate it again.

  Hope has helped you.

• Start and stop Virtual Machines with the system

  Hello

  In a server cluster @vcenter HA/DRS 5.1, I enabled start and stop virtual machines with the system option but after I checked two days later, he is off again somehow. What makes this option off? I had a power failure in the datacenter. vCenter server has not been upward. I started all of the ESXi servers manually then went all VMs account is declining. I want that they start automatically when server ESXi upward.

  Thanks in advance,

  Thank you. This option is more valid than if the hosts are part of an HA Cluster license. I suspect that you configured through the traditional vSphere Client and that it is a bug with this client. If you try with the new vSphere Web Client, you will find a notice that it is disabled and there is no button "Edit".

• No network connection between the virtual machines on different hosts ESXi

  I have several 5.0 ESXi hosts in a cluster managed by vCenter Server 5 and I have network problems:

  1. [Host A] running a virtual machine can ping any other computer virtual running on the [host A] great!
  2. A virtual machine running on host [B] can ping any other virtual machine running on [B] home - very well!
  3. [host A] (from the ESXi console) can ping any virtual machine running on [B] home - even better!
  4. [B] home (from the ESXi console) can ping any virtual machine running [host A] - beautiful set!
  5. A virtual machine running [host A] can not ping any virtual computer running on host [B] and vice versa - bad, very bad!

  So basically the problem is that the virtual machines can communicate on hosts. It is a major problem that I need to fix, for obvious reasons.

  Networking on all hosts is configured exactly the same way: a unique and standard vSwitch with a pair of gigabit network cards grouped, vmkernels configured for the vMotion, NFS and network management and a group of ports configured for the VIRTUAL local area network used by the VMs. (vMotion works fine on hosts, storage vMotion works very well too.) All virtual machines are servers Windows (2003 and 2008).

  Reason #3 and #4 above, my assumption is that #5 must be the result of an ESXi/vCenter configuration issue and not a problem with the switches of material upstream. Is this a reasonable assumption?

  Whatever it is, can anyone offer suggestions on how can I fix? It is quite annoying as I'm pretty sure that these hosts are configured in the same manner as those of our production cluster, which does not at all these problems!

  Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.

  To be honest, it looks like a problem with your physical network-

  How is the physical network configured - are NIC connects it to the same physical switches? Are the virtual machines on the same subnet? If this is not the case, they are able to ping the gateway sbnet? Can you piing host IP address from the virtual machines?

  I also moved it to a forum more approiate.

• Deploy the new virtual machine with version 7 on vSphere HW 5

  Hello

  Is there a parameter / method of new virtual machines with the 7 deplpy (and NOT HW version 8) hardware on a vSphere host version 5?

  We currently have a mixed cluster (vSphere 4.0 U2 & 5.0 U1 Hosts) with activated automatic DRS.

  NB.  I found that 1.5 vCloud Director boasts a version of VM HW (v7 or v8) framework that is useful for mixed clusters. I hope that vSphere itself may have a similar setting.

  Yes, it is certainly possible. Simply select "Custom" in the "New VM" Wizard and you will be able to decide which version HW (7 or 8) you want to use for this virtual machine.

• Get the number of virtual machines per ESX host

  I am able to get the account with the following script command, but what I want to do is to report a 0 if there is no virtual machines on a host.  Currently it just show nothing if there are no VMs.  Any suggestions?

  Get-VMHost | Sort - the name of the property. Select Name, @{N = "VMCount"; E={($_ | Get - VM). County}}

  You can add an IF in the part of the expression.

  Try it like this

  Get-VMHost | Sort-Object Name | Select Name,@{N="VM";E={if(($_ | Get-VM).Count){($_ | Get-VM).Count} else {0}}}

  Host-Only is VMnet1, you used only NAT. static use of intellectual property and switch to DHCP for now. Make sure that the VMWare DHCP Server service is running. Put network cards in comments to "host-only '.

  Post your host ' ipconfig/all'.

• Create an array of Virtual Machines with an index to allow the selection of the index entry

  I would like to help with the following.

  Using the GET - vm to return all the virtual machines in a table or a table, but with a number of index against each of them. Perhaps even the number of its position in the matrix or $myarray [0]. I am struggling with the best way to go, be it a table to 2 dimensions or an object, but then how do I get the numbers in there.

  The reason for this is to present a list of virtual machines with a number on the side, to which the user then enters the number instead of having to type the name of the virtual machine.

  Ideally resembling:

  vCenter 0

  1 Exchange

  2 FilePrint

  3 SQL

  4 DC

  $vms = $get - vm | Select name

  1. a way to get the number. ##

  $vmsindexed =?

  '' This is the virtual machines to the choice.

  " "

  $vmindexed

  " "

  $selectedNum = read-host "enter the number of the Virtual Machine to power on.

  $selectedVM = $vms [$selectedNum]

  "You have selected Machine virtual $selectedVM.

  " "

  Start-VM - VM $selectedVM

  Thank you in advance, I'm going crazy thinking about it!

  The following script will give you a list of virtual machines with a number on the front, then you can type the number, choose the virtual machine you want to start:

  $VMs = Get-VM
  $VMsArray = @()
  $VMs | ForEach-Object { $VMsArray += $_.Name }
  Write-Output "Here are the virtual machines to choose from"
  Write-Output ""
  For ($i = 0; $i -lt $VMsArray.Length; $i++ ) { Write-Output "$i $($VMsArray[$i])"}
  Write-Output ""
  $SelectedNum = Read-Host "Enter the number of the Virtual Machine to Power On"
  $SelectedVM = $VMsArray[$SelectedNum]
  Write-Output "You have selected Virtual Machine $SelectedVM"
  Write-Output ""
  Start-VM -VM $selectedVM -Confirm

• The list of all virtual machines to a host group in Virtual Machine port group

  Ladies and gentlemen,

  I would like to create a powershell script to list all my virtual machines to a host, but a group of Machine virtual PortGroup... It is possible...? I see only found Internet see the VirtualPortGroup of the host...

  Thanks in advance & looks

  All your VMS have a mapping single portgroup or it not with multiple NICs on different port groups?

  If they are all the same, then the following should work:

  Get-VM | Select Host, Name, @{N="PortGroup";E={$_.NetworkAdapters[0].NetworkName}} | Sort PortGroup, Name, Host
  

  If you found this information useful, please consider the allocation of points for correct or helpful.

• 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.

• Let me know scenarios when different virtual machines with the same UUID are created in VMware Hypervisors?

  Let me know scenarios when different virtual machines with the same UUID created in VMware Hypervisors, aside from editing the .vmx file?

  The only other way I've seen is when you manually copy the virtual machine to another location on the data store (or another data store) and then when turn on/off the virtual machine, select I moved, rather that I copied it (the default option).  This will keep the same UUID.
