• 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.

• Host virtual computer and Migration of data store

  I'm curious. I have an environment with Cisco UCS UC servers without them. Due to they are C-Series all storage is local for UC virtual machines run. I'll add some of the UCS C-Series servers and you want to move two of my current C-Series server CPU virtual machines to the new. I have the license Enterprise Plus 4.1 for all servers and execution of vCenter. The migration will be basicall move local data store to store local data as well under the name from host to host. My plan is to turn off the virtual machines and migrate both host and the data store at the same time. I have groups of ports built as follows:

  Port of VMKernerl groups:

  -Storage (for future shared storage)

  -vMotion

  -PI

  -ESXi Mgmt

  Virtual machine:

  -CPU VMS

  -Machines virtual server

  My overall question is during this migration takes place this network (or a group of Port) will be the traffic go anywhere for the move? My guess is because it is the local storage, it will use the Mgmt. ESXi

  Thank you!

  If the virtual machine will be moved to store Local data to store common data shared through 2 esxi host, then the storage shared for local storage.

  So this will be the case through network vMotion and not via the management network.

  But you can enable vmotion on management network itself. If you have configured like this then yes communication will be via the management via vmotion network IPkerenel active network.

• No network connection to the virtual computer after migration manually to the new host

  We have added six new hosts to our environment, and I was tasked to test connections of VIRTUAL LAN on each of them before we move VM production of their.  This is probably a simple problem, but I am new to VMWare and need help.  I already talked to our network guys, and he assures me that the physical switches are setup and working properly.  We work a vDS.

  I'm testing 14 VLANs on six new hosts.  All but one are constantly working.  (They all work on the hosts of origin which were in force before.)  I have a static IP configuration on my test VM and MAC is set to automatic.  I checked the MAC does not change when you migrate to other hosts and the VLAN correct is listed in the settings the VM network (it is not empty).  Him VLAN will work on three of the six hosts, but not all at the same time.  The strange thing is that guests at work are constantly changing.  For example, this morning hosts11, 12 and 14 may work, but this afternoon, that could change at hosts12, 14 and 16.  I don't understand why they would change on their own.

  My test consists of VM testing, migration manually, powering back, then he ping from my computer off.  Of course everything works when I get ping responses.  When I get no answers, the test of the virtual machine has a yellow exclamation mark on the network icon in the system tray.

  What should I do to fix this?

  How is the network configured?  You have a different NIC port/cable for each VLAN or Trunking used on the side of the switch?

  If you use circuits on the side of the switch, then your GRPE ports virtual switch a VLAN ID needs to match the vlan is underway to shared resources.  No matter if it's a standard switch or switch distributed... you still need this ID of vlan.

  I've seen the random question that you encounter if missing one or more of of the uplinks on the side of the switch the VLAN.

• Move a machine virtual in Vmware Fusion (Mac) of Vmware Workstation (PC)

  I guess that most people worry about how to move a virtual machine from the PC to Mac. I have exactly the opposite need.

  Will there be a way to migrate toward the back of the Mac to the PC? VMware Workstation recognizes as virtual machines created with the merger?

  I agree with etung provide a list of files.  The virtual machine has been turned off when you have copied the disk NTFS?  Do you have pictures?  I usually don't use snapshots and always make sure that the virtual machine is turned off before changing platforms, but the error message sounds like you can't be in the same State before performing the copy.

• Unable to start the virtual machine after Migration - ESXi hosts

  Last night I wanted to move a virtual machine to a host of test to a production cluster.  All hosts (test and production) have shared access to the same LUN, so I usually am able to simply remove the virtual machines of the inventory in the test environment and add them to the production environment by accessing the .vmx on the data store file.  Two of the 3 hosts migrate perfectly and are running in the production environment.  However, the third server, while the migration starts.

  First he gave me errors that it was missing some files.  The only thing I did was different to rename the folder for the virtual machine on the data store.  It was called 'New Virtual Machine' for a reason, so I renamed it to "Antivirus."  However, something strange happened.  Instead of renaming the folder, it seems was created a new folder named "Antivirus" and the old folder 'New Virtual Machine' was still there.  In addition, the renamed folder 'Antivirus' had only SOME of the files needed.  So I just copied from the old folder in the folder "Antivirus" and he hung up the virtual disk of 20 GB file.  So I closed the VI client and checked the vdmk 20 GB folder and back this morning is in the folder with other files.  However, when I try to start the virtual machine, I get the "cannot access a file because it is locked" error message.

  I've done some detective and I noticed that in my second datastore where was the other folder vdmk, the file was now .40kB in size.  Looks like I've lost my other vdmk folder.  What happens here?

  It looks that the virtual machine was still running when you tried to change the name, so the old folder could not be renamed because of the lock. That's why a new folder has been created instead, and why your vm hung on the vmdk file until the lock has been released. Don't know what happened to the 2nd vmdk file, but the file vmware.log in virtual machine directory must have some info as to why does not start the virtual machine. If the 2nd vmdk is gone, this might be a reason.

• Trouble using NI USB-4065 with virtual machine VMWare

  Hello

  I'll be working with a virtual machine (windows xp) and I need to use an NI USB-4065 DMM.

  When I connect the USB-4065 to the PC, the virtual windows xp recognizes the new HW and also MAX display the new device on the list DAQmx.

  It seems ok, but if I try to use the USB-4065 (open the soft cover or in a LabView VI), the device does not work.

  If I use the frontpanel app, when I click a botton, the Group seems to work but doesn't measure anything; If I try to reboot the softpanel, it works and 'freeze' of the screen.

  If I use LabView, the VI returns an error on a maximum duration of the measure.

  I'm trying to use the device on the real machine (not with VMware) USB-4065 works, whith flexible Panel and whith VI.

  I update the driver of the DMM on the virtual machine, beats the device still doesn't work.

  ... I don't have any other idea, can anyone help me with this problem?

  Thanks, SEM.

  Hi John,.

  This isn't good news for my project but peronny for more information.

• Access to the BlackBerry through the USB port on the virtual machine VMWare

  I have my development environment configuration in VMWare virtual machine, and I have no problems of deployment of BlackBerry applications on a simulator that runs as another virtual machine. The problem starts when I try deploying to the device via the USB port. The address is assigned when the mode of development on the device is not accessible from the VM, but only from my host, who do me any good, since as I said my IDE is in the virtual machine. A way to solve this problem? I can still deploy to the device via wi - fi (which is btw access via different ip - one given by the network) by this can sometimes be slow depending on the strength of the signal, etc, so I prefer to be able to deploy via the USB port.

  Just in case anyone has the same problem, how to activate must, VMWare Player click on the USB icon (to the right) and choose to disconnect from the host. Connecting the USB port at the prompt. Stupid...

• License VCS\VCSE of virtual machine hardware migration.

  Hi all

  I want to migrate my hardware to virtual VCS\VCSE.

  Both servers are covered by the active maintenance contract.

  How licenses work in this case? What is the procedure of transfer?

  Any cost?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  About Cisco VCS, you want to migrate virtual machine hardware, you will need to purchase a new license to make the transfer. These are the partnumbers you need:

  R-VMVCS-C-M-K9

  HW migration to E - Delivery Virtual VCS only controls

  R-VMVCS-E-M-K9

  HW migration to E - Delivery Virtual VCS Highway only

  Please contact your Cisco representative for more information.

  After purchasing the license, the license of the VM device rehost will be made by a specific Cisco team, not the team of global license, it is a process different rehost. You will need to send your request to [email protected] / * /, this team will provide instructions to rehost your VCS license correctly.

  I hope this helps.

• Where can we find the a Virtual Machine vmware log file?

  Hello

  Consultant applications blame the system crash comes to VMWare and asks me to look in the log file of VMWare.

  I would like to ask you your opinion is possible to collect the log file of VMware ESXi hosts as a particular VM?

  Your opinion is requested.

• How to move the Virtual Machine VMWare Workstation 10 to a completely different computer

  I have a laptop that is going to become my 'old' laptop, I bought and am always set up a new computer.

  I have a VM THAT evolution created on the 'old' portable using VMWare Workstation 10.  I installed the software VMWare Workstation 10 on the new laptop computer and am ready to move to the existing VM development since the old laptop again to continue the development of software on the virtual machine to the new machine.

  I never moved a computer virtual from one computer to another, and I guess that all I have to do is to copy and move the folder and all its content from the old laptop to the new, and then I'll be back in business?

  Just make sure it is this simple before doing so.

  Thanks for any input.

  It's as simple as that. When you start in the new machine, it should ask if you copied or moved. Answer that you moved it will keep the same MAC address and you will not be able to connect the two copies at the same time. You copied it saying assigns a new MAC and they both can connect, but a Windows machine can ask to reactivate. Seems to me he asked also to reactivate when I copied it for an Intel system AMD system, but it was a long time ago

• Virtual machines VMware Player 6.0.3 gel.

  I had a problem with VMware Player 6.0.3. All my guests freeze finally after awhile. This seems to happen more often with my Linux VM rather than my windows VM. The two become very annoying.

  I tried to adjust memory and its use, but it doesn't seem to work.

  My temporary solution is only a pause virtual machines and run again. Graphics performance are poor thereafter.

  Someone at - it experience something like this?

  Hi Jmattson,

  It seems to me I found the problem and it is fixed. I had added the following line to the VMX file:

  sound.bufferTime = "200".

  Apparently, the problem can be associated with buffer as I had very chopped him reading audio and video of the virtual machine just before it freezes. This may be due to move from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 as a host operating system.

• Virtual Server Vmware 5.1 group

  Hello

  We have 2 ESXi host running several virtual servers. We would like to consolidate servers, but pools of resources is not recommended for this purpose. Other options in VMware that could create groups for our servers.

  With pools of resources, we would have to decide and calculate which would need each set of servers. VAPP would add more complications as well. In the future that we could use both, but for now I have a better view of the customer, as most of the servers have names such as DNS, DB and APP so more confusing will lead to errors.

  I prefer to use something like a folder for each group and add my DB, DNS APP servers in the folder.

  All useful ideas

  Welcome to the community - so if I understand your question you are looking to organize your virtual machines - with the hosts and Clusters discovered virtual machines are linked to the host or cluster design that they belong, and there is really no way to group virtual machines - your will have to do this in models and virtual computers discovered - here You can group virtual machines under independent records of guests and groups that they are run under-

• Unable to start the CD player Win2003 Server / removable on the virtual machine: VMware-8(Host: Win7)

  

  Hello

  I am unable to start Win 2003 Server CD disk / removable on a Virtual Machine (the two VMWare 6 and 8). The snap-snap-in error is attached. I have the right configuration of the BIOS to Boot priority, but is taking the PXE ROM option.

  Please help me.

  Thank you

  Hello

  1. it doesn't matter that the 'connected' is checked which is normal. "Connect at power on" is important and must be checked that it is on the screenshot.

  2. now, change the "autodetect" option to point to your 'real' cdrom device (that this laptop has).

  3 If this does not convert your cdrom ISO image 2003 and load through the second option that says "use an iso image.

  4. If this still does not work there is only one possible "your 2003 cdrom is NOT bootable. The fact that it autoruns IN Win7 does not mean that is bootable. You should check by placing it in a different machine of cdrom, restart this computer, bios in order to boot from CDROM/DVD first and see if the change boots. If it does not start even from there then for sure this cd is NOT bootable. So, the important thing is to load the cd on time to start and not inside the operating system to work.

  5. try to download an iso of the trial of the internet windows Server 2003 and use that one to see what is happening.

  6. create a new virtual machine and try here or even better to try another machine with Workstation 8 and see what happens.

  7. it is no coincidence if the CD-ROM drive is not recognized within the virtual machine.
