Virtual MACHINE disk, but not in the inventory

I have a virtual machine that has disappeared from the inventory, but is still in the (non-local) data store. In my view, that it was off. I tried to add to the inventory, but received a message that a virtual machine is already registered with that name. I believe that these are the steps that led to this State:

I had a consultant in an ESXi host to replace it with a new one and a few weeks ago. All virtual machines have been moved out of the old host. The virtual machine in question was arrested that we did not use it. I just noticed today that it was not in the inventory because now I'm ready to use it.

Another change that happened a few weeks ago was replacement unit vCenter vCenter. I don't know if who had nothing to do with him or not.

Any suggestions how I could see the virtual machine in the inventory again?

Hello

As you can see this message, "received a message that a virtual machine is already registered with that name", while adding another virtual machine name use inventory. However, be sure that this virtual machine is not already.

Assuming that you have enough free disk space on the host ESXI 5.1 data store, I suggest you that you load the multiextent module as shown in the link, I posted and then clone the virtual disk using the vmkfstools command line utility.

vmkfstools 'Windows w2k3.vmdk'-i 'clone.vmdk' slim-d - an ide

vmkfstools EI 'Windows w2k3.vmdk' 'old.vmdk '.

vmkfstools EI "clone.vmdk" "Windows w2k3.vmdk".

The first line of the clones of the virtual disk in a virtual drive put in service end format, and the following two lines renaming virtual disks, so that you can delete the "old*.vmdk" files once the VM works as expected.

Alternatively, you can also run the commands on the host ESXi 4.1 and then copy the new files hard again to avoid loading the multiextent module in the new host.

VMware Fusion 6 Professional - where is the possibility of locking VMware using a single virtual machine and do not allow the creation of new virtual machines?

This is a quote from the VMware Fusion Professional 6 product page:
VMware Fusion 6 Professional comes with IT administration tools to help you deploy VMware Fusion using Apple or a management solution third Mac as of JAMF's Casper Suite. Further reduce the cost of support of Windows desktop using the mode of single virtual machine that limits user access to the library of the Virtual Machine, the ability to create virtual machines or migrate PCs and reduces the options of the menu.
Where can I find these IT administration tools? I want to block my VMware users to a single virtual machine so that they can not blow by creating new virtual machines, etc.
How can I do this?
Thank you!

Glitch004,

You could follow the steps to activate the single mode of VM:

1. turn power off all running VMS and out the merger.

2. Add the following line to/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion / config

installerDefaults.simplifiedUI = 'TRUE '.

3 restart merger and you will find:

. VM library is hide in the VM menu.

. only one virtual machine can be used, while click second VM Fusion of the reports ' Unable to open document. "

Music files duplicated hard disk, but not in the iTunes program.

My music collection must be about 7.5 GB. However, on my drive hard, the 'My music' folder is double this size - 15 GB. It seems two files (see below) containing 7.5 GB:

... My music/iTunes/iTunes Music

and,

... My music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Media

Please someone with the default configuration for iTunes would check which is the location for the music, so that I can delete the folder in double superfluous.

Thank you

Virtual disk MD3000i not on the preferred path

Our MD3000i rpet table is not optimal and that a virtual disk is not on the preferred path.

We have two RAID sets on it with a VD each. The former says her favorite way is controller 0, the second said his preferred path is controller 1. But the controller 0 like take charge of both.

Using MD storage manager, I can change VD2 owned by controller 1. But in the current for the next several hours, it passes backward, and the MD3000i starts orange flashing again.

If I restart the server that is attached to it, the question usually begins without having to wait a few hours.

I changed out Ethernet cables, and it did not help. Either way, it all started when we changed the MD3000i attached to hosts. It was attached to two Dell servers, now it is only attached to one.

After looking through everything, it seems that the iSCSI initiator is configured incorrectly. It seems that you only have one configuration of IP and the MD has two available. Here is a link that has a step by step on setting up the MD3000i and the MPIO.

http://paulgrevink.WordPress.com/2012/02/21/configure-Dell-MD3000i-MPIO-with-Windows-2008-R2/

I would like to know how this happens. Also the only link that you have custody fall itself which normally points to a network problem may therefore need to look in the configuration of the switch as well.

Not possible to export a list of virtual machines that are created in the past 7, 30, 120 and 180 days since an imported csv file containing the date of creation of virtual machine

Not possible to export a list of virtual machines that are created in the past 7, 30, 120 and 180 days since an imported csv file containing the date of creation of virtual machine. My questions is the correct statement to the variable: $VmCreated7DaysAgo: $_CreatedOn "-lt" $CDate7.
# #SCRIPT_START
$file = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\VM-Repo.csv".
$Import = import-csv $file
$VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\Last7Days.csv".
$start7 = (get-Date). AddMonths(-1)
$CDate7 = $start7. ToString('MM/dd/yyyy')
$VmCreated7DaysAgo = $Import | Select-object - property name, Powerstate, vCenter, VMHost, Cluster, file, Application, CreatedBy, CreatedOn, NumCpu, MemoryGB | Where-Object {$_.} CreatedOn - lt $CDate7} | Sort-Object CreatedOn
$TotalVmCreated7DaysAgo = $VmCreated7DaysAgo.count

Write-Host "$TotalVmCreated7DaysAgo VMs created in 7 days" - BackgroundColor Magenta
Invoke-Item $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile
# #SCRIPT_END

You can use the New-Timespan cmdlet in the Where clause, it returns the time difference between 2 DateTime objects.

An example of this cmdley

New-TimeSpan-start (Get-Date). AddDays(-7)-end (Get-Date). Select days - ExpandProperty

In your case, you could do

Where {(New Timespan-démarrer ([DateTime] $_.))} CreatedOn) - end $start7). {7 days - gt}

But beware of negative numbers.

Can't export virtual machines: unable to connect to the remote server

Hello
I'm working on vSphere client 5.1 (vCenter Server 5.1). Trying to export a virtual machine for distribution model. When I go to file-> export the template OVF..., I get the following error message:
Can't export virtual machines: unable to connect to the remote server
Remote not sure what/who he is not able to connect to. If I connect vSphere Web Client and navigate to the same model (or all other models), under 'All the Actions of vCenter' I don't have an option to export to the model of the FVO. But if I use a VM machine instead of a virtual machine template, I have the ability to export to the OVF, but it is grayed out.
Am I missing any customer authorization or plugin for vShpere?

Discovered that vSphere server had some modifications made by HIM to resolve the violation POODLE. HE had to set the ip address of the machine where export OVF will be performed. Which allowed the connection to establish vsphere client and perform an export of the FVO.

Virtual hard disk is different from the physical?

Error: Unexpected failure: catastrophic failure
Hi all, it's a 2003 SP2 x 86 box of 50 gigabytes VHD. Normally on a physical server, if I get such an error I ran check disk, but not sure of the virtual. My question is - should I run check disk on a VHD? Looks like a question of OS, but the goal here is to find out more about VHDs. Is it a common practice to treat a hard virtual as a physical drive? Is in practice to run tools like HDD check disk, defragmentation on a VHD? Where the problem lies if the virtual hard disk has errors & how fix/repair VHDs? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the community,

Basically, you can treat the virtual drives from within the guest as physical OS. Defragmentation may not be useful, but chkdsk is definitely something you need to run in cases like this to check the logical integrity of the NTFS file system.

From virtual machine automatically at startup of the host

I'm trying to find how to start a virtual machine automatically at startup of the ESXi host. I think I did in ESX 3.5, but have so far been unable to find a similar feature in ESXi.
Is this possible in ESXi?
Thank you!

I do not use ESXi, but if you go to the Configuration of your ESXi host and then virtual Mahcine start/stop tab is a box of properties in the right corner? If so, like ESX, this is where to put it

TIA

There is no easy way since the only organizer knows what is indexed in the catalog.

You can use the backup / restore process to move your library to a new drive or a master folder. Only the files in the catalog will be there. You can remove all media files from the original location via the Explorer / Finder. This will take care of duplicates and missing files catalog.

Another way would be to work from selected records.

You run the process of "import" of a given folder. If there are new or old files not those registered, they will be added to the catalog, others, already in the catalog will be ignored. The 'batch import' should be what you want to delete. It also works with files in the subfolders of the selected one.

It is also possible to move files to a folder selected to an another new void; you select all in the thumbnail pane (not folders on the left panel) and use the command move or drag and drop the thumbnail space into the empty destination folder on the folders on the left panel. What will remain will be the 'imported step. '
