• Free version of ESXi can support for configuration of start and stop virtual machines via vSphere Client?

  I have read and found some documents on ESXi.

  According to the documents, I know that ESXi free version does not support some advanced virtual machine configurations and does not support write to ESXi host permission. But when I download ESXi from vmware.com, I can't find the free version. He will always be a trial of the licensed version edition because I can always do the configuration of start and stop virtual machines via vSphere Client installation. I can also run scripts (lamw) pl in vMA to stop the ESXi host (authorization to write ok?)

  Then I confused. How can I get the really free version of ESXi? Or will the free version after 60 days of evaluation?

  Start/stop above configuration is in vSphere Client via 'Configuration'-> "start/stop VM"-> "Properties"... «-> "Allow the virtual computers start and stop automatically with the system" actions setting and stop virtual machines can be configured to "comments"turn off computer"or"Suspend".» Can any body tell me if it's supported by ESXi free edition?

  Is the free version of vSphere Client too? Because when I use the vSphere Client, he told me that I have 60 days of evaluation. This confused me again. I think that vSphere Client is always free, am I right?

  Any suggestion or advice is much appreciated.  ^_

  Configuration of start and stop virtual machines is available with the free version and licensed, with the free version you would be configured everything via vSphere Client, where as with a licensed version, you can optionally use scripts to configure it and also issue restarts/stops using scripts.

  Second, shutdownHostViaSOAPAPICall.pl for the version licensed and free of ESX (i), this script will work in both free and licensed because it uses direct SOAP calls emulating the vSphere Client communication. Take a look at the documentation for details, but this of course is not supported by VMware.

• How to resize a virtual machine using vSphere client

  Hi all

  I have a virtual computer on an ESXi 4 server but I am not able to resize. So far I have stop the virtual machine in vSphere client, selected the settings then went to Hard Disk 1, Disk Configuration section everything is gray so cannot be changed. The type is listed as thick and the version of virtual machine is 7. How can I go on the increase in the size of the disk of this virtual, or any other machine also?

  Thank you

  Jamie

  Remember that you cannot increase the size of a disc if there is a snapshot, but if the option is gryed out, it looks more like a permissions issue.  You do that connected directly to the host of ESXi, or through vCenter?

• Need sesstion of multiple access to the host of the virtual machine in vSphere Client multi

  Hi experts,

  We have already deploved EXSi 5.1/vSphere client5.1 for one of our environment engineer.

  We need multiple/simultaneous access to vm hosts who are resident on the EXSi5.1.

  are aware of our solution, the company PC (multi place) access to vCenterServer via a WIFI/vSphereClient network. and all pepole dedicated the user account for access vCenterServer/VM hosts.

  but when some of the pepole tries to access VM-Host1, they use different account, they will share the sesstion. first open console will also open later attempt to access...

  I checked the CONFIGURATION of terminal SERVER and configured to request user by initial information to connect and will be overwrrite user setting of... but seems it has no effect.

  any advice would be much appreciated.

• Create the list of virtual machines to exclude the script through .csv file?

  Hello

  I have a script that runs all day off hours to check my VMs respect some things, like having the option to 'VM tools upgrade policy' checked. The script will export a list of virtual machines that DO NOT have this option enabled and then later to fix the problem. Now, for some specific VMS, I don't want to have the option active and want to exclude them from this review. I try to add a list of these virtual machines I want to exclude from my check script of VMTools_UpgradePolicy via a .csv file containing their names. Here's what I have:

  ##############################################
  #VMTools update during the feeding cycle - report
  ##############################################
  function Report_VMTools_UpgradePolicy {}
  $list = import-Csv "C:\VMware\PowerCLI\Scripts\EXCLUDE LIST\EXCLUDE_vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv".
  foreach ($entry in $list) {$exclude = Get-VM-name $entry. Name}
  $vms = get - Vm | where {$_.} Name - not $exclude - and (Get-View-Id $_.) {ID). Config.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy - eq 'manual'} | Select name
  $vms | Export-Csv "C:\VMware\PowerCLI\Scripts\REPORTS\vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv" - NoTypeInformation
  }

  The content of the EXCLUDE_vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv is as follows:

  'Name '.
  "VM1.
  "VM2.

  "VM3.

  I try to get all the virtual machines in my environment who have the ToolsUpgradePolicy - eq 'manual' (unchecked), AND which do not match any of the names on my list of exclusions (VM1, VM2, VM3). My script so far will do what I want, except that only the last entry in my list of exclusions will take into account. VM1 and VM2 will still be reported as VMs that need to be addressed.

  I'm not sure that I am taking the right approach with this, I will continue to seek a solution for what I want, but any help would be appreciated! I prefer to make my list of exclusion to a separate file, for example "EXCLUDE_vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv", because I want that other administrators to be able to just open this .csv file and add virtual machines to this list without having to touch my scripts.

  Thank you!

  Vince

  Hi Vince,.

  It is like that I think because of your statement:

  foreach ($entry in $list) {$exclude = Get-VM-name $entry. Name} -> it
  $vms = get - Vm | where {$_.} Name - not $exclude - and (Get-View-Id $_.) {ID). Config.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy - eq 'manual'} | Select name
  $vms | Export-Csv "C:\VMware\PowerCLI\Scripts\REPORTS\vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv" - NoTypeInformation
  }

  $exclude is a variable that contains only 1 entry., that's why you see only the last element inside. It will not be an array.

  foreach ($entry in $list) {[string []]+ $exclude = Get-VM-name $entry.} Name}

  This will fill $exclude table with entries of string that will contain the names of virtual machine.

  And when you will be comparing. I think you should use

  where {$exclude - notcontains $_.} Name - and... the rest

  Kind regards

• Report on the ability of virtual machines VMware Cluster

  We started to evaluate Foglight for capacity planning and evaluation. One of the reports that I believe is interested in our leadership is the "ability of virtual machines VMware Cluster" report. I see that the report provides a value for the VMS remaining. I would like to learn a little more about this value and how is it calculated:

  1. What exactly a 'virtual machine' represents in these reports?
  2. Can a similar report to run using a specific type of server based on the allocation of resources or patterned after an existing VM wokload?

  We are a small, medium and large VM offering based on the allocation of resources. I would like to change the report to display the number of each type of virtual machine I have available... or pointer pointing to an existing virtual machine, and according to its resources and workload, determine how this server, I have available.

  It is based on the average size of the virtual machine in the cluster.  If you look at the dashboard of capacity management in the user interface, it can give you more details by cluster.  It is based on the average of the use of min/max/AVG across all virtual machines in a period given (usually 90 days).  This can not be changed today, but there is work to allow lets you specify a size of slot for something as small, medium, large, etc...

  This feature exists in the Foglight for virtualization, however Standard Edition.  It might be interesting to watch this, if you need it sooner.

• Report on the number of virtual machines by datastore

  Hello

  I use vFoglight 6.6.2. I try to have a report generated every week that contains the number of virtual machines running in the data store. But I don't know how to create a table of edge/report for these details.

  request for expert assistance.

  The following query gives you so all virtual machines on the specified data store

  Using the following mandatory input parameters:

  {VMWDatastore}: type foglight - 5:VMWDatastore

  Select objects of type Machine virtual VMware in parameter {VMWDatastore}

  root of {VMWDatastore} / virtualCenter/virtualMachineCollection/virtualMachines

  where:

  ({VMWDatastore} to /datastores and)

• How to import the list of virtual machines to complete a table in a workflow

  When you run the followingworkflow/library/vCenter/batch/run a workflow on a selection of objects

  How import you a list of virtual machines to complete the table of virtual machines?

  At this moment we are manually by selecting the virtual machines and adding them to the table individually which is very tedious. We would simply import a list.

  There is a certain ways that you can do what you're trying to do, but from your description, it looks like a wrapper will work best.  I enclose a simple workflow that loads the table from a csv file.  There is no error checking going on, but it should help you get started and you can expand on it from there.

This happens on all Windows virtual computer I tried on. I use merge for quite awhile (version 2 and later) and have never seen that happen before.

• Replication of vSphere SRM - replica of the lack of virtual machines

  Hello

  I use SRM with vSphere replication and all my virtual machines are properly replicated from my site for my recovery.site as you can see:

  

  My problem is that I don't see all the replica of the VMs replicated in the inventory of the recovery site:

  

  So when I was looking for in the web client vSphere replication monitor, I saw that all the virtual machines that are in the inventory of the recovery site are all managed by SRM. And all virtual machines managed by VR finally does not appear in the inventory.

  
  

  Someone at - it never I have this problem or know the solution?

  Concerning

  Hello and welcome to the community of VMware

  The behavior you describe is planned. Between VR and SRM, is SRM work to create what is called 'space reserved VM' on the recovering site.

  If replicate you a virtual machine using vSphere replication but skip protection by SRM, there is no virtual machine being recorded on the recovering Site until you run the RV GUI recovery operation.

  Can I ask you why do you need to see the virtual machine on the recovering site? Even if it is there, you are not able to turn on.

• The substitution of parameters of the device when the cloning of virtual machines?

  Hello

  I'm trying to find out how I can substitute the disk space for a HARD drive or the network for an adapter in the cloning of virtual machines.
  I thought it should be in the VirtualMachineCloneSpec, but it doesn't seem to be an option for him. I forgot something?

  Thanks in advance.

  So it turns out that the code was perfectly fine, the problem is that in my lab I have always tried setting disk space on something weaker than what it was before that does not work.

  Thought, after verification of the documentation for Set-disc hard, as I wanted reconstruct this cmdlet to see what he's doing: Set - hard - drive vSphere PowerCLI cmdlets reference

  Records are a method of setting permissions in VMware vCenter. They form a triage unit and behave as a logical separation. When you first add the hosts to vCenter and you have all the files, there will be a default folder created for you as Richardsonporto mentioned.

  Later, you can create new folders and separate the virtual machine by drag-and - drop of their.
