• How can I move virtual machines from a local data store for a new iSCSI SAN?

  Hello guys,.

  Now that we have a new iSCSI SAN market how can I tranfer all the virtual machine to a local data store for a new SAN? Can I stop the VM in the host, and then copy the DataStore files with all the info on the new volume?

  Thank you

  Alternatively, you can use VMware converter or cold Migration / Storage VMotion if you have the appropriate licenses.

  Hello
  I am writing from mobile muy wait you so the typos and strangeness...
  That's what I see:
  -your host/laptop is connected via WiFi to your router. WiFi is usually a little more difficult to make it work, but it does not now matter now
  -your "external" network (computer laptop/probably the router to wide band) are on the 192.168.0.X network
  -your AD windows virtual machine is configured with two network adapters and the two using NAT, as the screenshot you provided.
  -to the command ipconfig for the virtual machine, it shows that a single configured both network adapter, there probably a fixed IP address and this IP address is out of all the existing networks that you got
  * VM IP: 192.192.0.1/24
  * Real external Network:192.168.0.X/24
  * Host-only workstation: 192.168.72.X/24
  * NAT workstation: 192.168.161.X/24

  With that IP to the VM must be impossible any form of communication with your host, with the exception of the RDP rule you put (and it is also conceptually wrong of course it works)

  If you really want to put your VM with a fixed IP address in the NAT network, you must configure the virtual computer with an IP address of 192.168.161.3 - 192.168.161.127 (le.1 et.2 are used by the host/VMware workstation, and le.128 to la.254 are used by the dhcp range)

• Copy of the data of the disk of the virtual machine on a Local disk is too slow

  We have recently implemented vMware view.   We vSphere 5.5 and 5.2 and made Desktop visualization server.

  We have SAN as HP 3Par and Esxi hosts are HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8

  Now all trying to copy the data from the disk of the virtual machine disk of the local computer are too slow. But if we are writing data from Local disk on the disk of the virtual machine is normal. And copying data between the two virtual machine disk is also fast.

  Thanks in advance for your help

  Dear all,

  Thanks for your help.

  We have analyzed the issue in 360 degrees, and we also examined your entries. Finally, we found the problem. It was that a defective fiber link has been creating the problem.

  We have recently implemented vMware and this flaw in fiber can also happened during this period. That's why we thought it may be because of vmware.

  Thanks again for your help

• I installed windows 2000 on a virtual machine on a different computer than windows xp.

  I installed Windows 2000 on a virtual machine to another Windows XP computer. I'm under the it on my new computer with Windows xp. I get the icon in the bar lower right spots showing an internet connection but no Internet Explorer or Firefox will have access to the internet? In the Device Manager on Windows 2000, it shows a map network intel but on the computer Windows Xp host computer and in the "settings" on the Windows 2000 installation it shows my Realtek card. Is the adapter intel a virtual card? I tried to uninstall the Intel card and then install the Realtek but Windows 2000 installation does not see the Realtek card. On a restart, the Intel card is reinstalled.
  Am I a fight lost because I did the first Windows 2000 install on another computer in Windows XP?

  Hi MrRobHill1965,

  Given that the problem is related to the virtual machine, I suggest that you post your question on the forums of Virtual PC listed below.

• Clone the virtual machine to the local data store

  Hi all

  I'm looking to automate a task daily (or almost) of my friends with a small script with powercli.

  I'm trying to "backup" or to clone a virtual machine, I work in a storage of one of our servers.

  The servers are managed by a 5.1 vCenter and the machine is on a shared storage.

  From time to time, I clean, stop the machine, remove all snapshots and clone the virtual machine to one of the local server as a backup storage. So I put together a small script which almost works. It works as long as the target data store is a shared storage, but not with a local storage.

  I get always an error that claims it can not access the local data store and is not a permissions problem...

  Given that I can accomplish this via the customer without problem I thought it is possible via powercli too, or I'm wrong?

  My Script up to now:

  # Variables
  $VC = "vc.domain.com" #vCenter Server
  $User = "domain\user" #User
  $Pass = 'test123' #User PW
  $VMName = 'scripttest' #VM
  $BackupSuffix = "backup" #Suffix to add the name of VM to mark this as a backup
  $VmHost = "esx2.domain.com".
  $Datastore = 'ESX2-LocalData' #Datastore
  $BackupFolder = 'Backup' #Folder the VM gets classified

  
  

  # Register cmdlets to VMware
  

  If (-not (Get-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core - ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) {}

  Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core

  }

  
  

  # Connect to the server

  SE connect-ViServer $VC - user $User-password $Pass

  
  

  # Remove the old clone

  $OldBackups = get - VM | WHERE {$_.} {Name: corresponds to '$VMName - $BackupSuffix'}

  If ($OldBackups - don't "")

  {

  If ($OldBackups.Count - gt 1)

  {

  Write-Host "better check! "Found several results:

  Foreach ($VM to $OldBackups)

  {

  Write-Host $VM. Name

  }

  }

  on the other

  {

  Remove-VM - VM $OldBackups - DeleteFromDisk-confirm: $false

  }

  }

  
  

  # Clone VM

  $VMInfo = get - VM $VMName | Get-View

  $CloneSpec = new-Object Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineCloneSpec

  $CloneSpec.Snapshot = $VMInfo.Snapshot.CurrentSnaphshot

  $CloneSpec.Location = new-Object Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec

  $CloneSpec.Location.Datastore = (get-Datastore-name $Datastore |) Get - View). MoRef

  $CloneSpec.Location.Transform = [Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateTransformation]: sparse

  $CloneFolder = $VMInfo.Parent

  $CloneName = "$VMName - $BackupSuffix".

  $TaskCloneID = $VMInfo.CloneVM_Task ($CloneFolder, $CloneName, $CloneSpec)

  
  

  # Check if the task is completed

  
  

  $Check = $false

  }

  # Move clone to the backup folder

  Move-VM - VM '$VMName - $BackupSuffix' - Destination $BackupFolder

  Can you show us the complete error message you get?

  BTW, the clone step can be replaced by the New-VM cmdlet with the setting of the virtual machine.

• Size of the virtual machines on the local data store

  What is the best way to determne the (total) disk space using a virtual machine? We have several virtual machines on local data warehouses and would like to estimate roughly how much disk space to the total number of virtual machines use to caculate how much storage SAN, they will consume. Is there an 'easy' way to socket this information?

  The most accurate way would be to calculate the total space used by the virtual machine files in the data store.

  Connect to the service console

  Navigate to the vmfs volume

  Navigate to the vm folder

  -h.

  This will give you files for this particular virtual machine related to the amount of disk space used by all the vm

• Migration of virtual machines store data Local to the Local data store

  I spend a few VMs storage local servers ESX 3.5 to local storage on another. The customer, I work with a Vcenter but doesn't have a Vmotion.

  What would be the best way to carry out the removal.

  Cold migration?

  Import to the new ESX Server via converter?

  I tried to do an import with the virtual machine is turned off and after 30 minutes, the progress is only 5%. This server only took 25 minutes for P2V, cold import of VM VI3 to VI3 VM takes longer to P2V? It is a LAN Gigabit environment all.

  When I tried to make the trip through the migrate, progress suspended at 25% and never finished.

  Migration cold will work fine.  Stop the click Guest, just choose migrate.

• Dedicated network adapter to the virtual machine and the host computer not let can visit his profile

  OK, here's my question, I know how to give themselves a phyiscal nic to a vmware, but I wanted to take it one step further and do not leave the host send or receive data from this network card, only the virtual machine can use this network/NIC...

  Here's my reasoning, I have to network conections, one is for my internal/field network and the second is a direct connection to the internet (Comcast) I don't want to use to separate the machines have for internet connection, I want to be on the same machine phyiscal and have just the vmware machine talking to comcast... is it possible?  I am running VMware workstation 7, last update.

  Thank you

  Cdrshm

  I assume you are using a Windows host?

  If Yes...

  -first set up networking networking with vmnetcfg.exe

  -assign vmnet0 to the network card for the internal network

  -assign vmnet2 to the network card used for direct access to the internet

  -Right-click on the map network-icon in the systray and access the properties of the network adapter for vmnet2

  -Disable all other protocols and the Protocol of vmware_bridge for this network adapter

  result: a virtual machine that uses vmnet2 can directly access the internet and the host has no IP address for this network adapter - and therefore cannot use it.

• virtual machine on the host computer has been detected to have a duplicate ip address

  I have seen several threads about this, but they are all either point to one) all resources used or b) firewall issues, and since I have neither, I wanted to see if anyone knows the answer...

  I have 6 servers identical all running the same exact version of ESX Server 3i 3.5.0 build-153875 and 5 of them work perfectly, but the 6th gives the same error as the original poster. It obviously isn't a problem of firewall from the 5 / 6 work very well and I connect to all (and about 15 other servers vmware ESX Server) of my workstation. The server with the question has no installed VMs (don't stay connected long enough to build a) and he passesd all hardware diagnostics I run on it. It has an IP address static, put in place like all other servers and ESX I reinstalled several times.

  Looking at the logs, I see this message: virtual machine on the host has been detected with a duplicate IP address

  How is this possible, is that there is still no VMs on that? Anyone know how to fix this?

  How is this possible, is that there is still no VMs on that? Anyone know how to fix this?

  Not sure why she complains VM, as you didn't tell any virtual machine set up, but define you as static.  Are you sure that you do not use an IP address already in use?

  Disable the ESX host, can you ping the IP?  Something is using this IP address somewhere, so the message can be vague, but something is causing an IP address conflict.

• Uninstall Windows and install in the Virtual Machine on the same computer

  I have an old Dell computer that ALLOWS you to have Windows XP Professional is installed. I have installed on it now Ubuntu (Linux) and Windows XP has disappeared. The computer came with Windows XP Professional installed when I got it. However, I still have the installation disc. My question is, would it not possible or legal to use the installation disc to install Windows XP Professional on a VM on the computer even though I still have the product key?

  Hello

  This is legal, Yes, the question is: 'is possible', and depends on every time that you have a Windows XP OEM key or not, if that is the case, then you can install it, but you can activate ever, the key can be used only once by the motherboard (VM motherboard change). If its if retail is key then its no problem at all.

  The sticker will tell you this. If it says or OEM and the OEM COA. otherwise its so retail in most cases.

• When you run a single virtual machine on the host computer, is it ok to assign all the processors for comments

  I have a single guest Windows 7 Pro running on the host ESXi 5 U1.   It will always be in a 1-1 configuration (we needed server hardware, but with BONES desktop for purposes of licensing).  The host CPU is an E5603 (Quad - core 1.6 GHz).  I want the guest to have the maximum amount of possible processor cores, because a true multi-threaded application runs.  Because Windows 7 is limited to 4 cores, I disabled hyperthreading on the processor so that when I assigned 4 cores the VM, I get all 4, not the half because of hyperthreading.

  I am setting for claim processor between the host and the guest?  Should I only assign 3 carrots to the guest while it is still available for the host?

  With the requirement, it's guessing more than knowing what to configure. I think that with 2 Dual-Core configuration, I suggested above, you're on the save side.

• How can I print my virtual machine XP installed on my computer Windows 7 host?

  I can't print from my virtual XP machine which is installed on my Windows 7 host operating system.

  The printer is correctly installed on my Windows 7 OS and I can print pages of test and documents through it.

  But I can't get my printer to print anything from my XP virtual machine.

  What I've tried so far:

  I tried to install my printer in my XP virtual machine as a local printer. The installation wizard installs the drivers of its own database. The icon for the printer appears in the Printers window. But the test page does not print, or it allows to print a simple text document.

  I tried to install my printer in my XP virtual machine as a printer attached to another computer on my network. To counter this, I enabled files and printers sharing on my printer to Windows 7 host operating system and then shared to the network. Then I went back to my XP virtual machine to activate the printer installation wizard to install a printer on a network. The installation wizard will search the shared network printers, but do not find anything. I have the opportunity to enter things like the address of the network printer and so on. But I have no idea what to conclude from these boxes.

  I did my best to make sure that the Windows 7 host operating system and the virtual XP machine are on the same network, which is a working group, not a homegroup. But I can have failed at that because I don't know much about networks.

  -------

  The printer is a Brother HL-5050.

  Parallel cable.

  LPT1

  This problem is not resolved. Anyone having this same problem with a parallel cable connected printer will continue to look for the solution.

  BUT he is no longer a problem I have to deal with.

  I discovered by accident that my printer has a USB port in the back. So, I went parallel to the USB cable. This allowed me to select and activate the printer in the virtual mode menu bar Windows XP special on the top edge, by clicking on the "USB" button there. Allowing the printer in XP virtual mode turns off also in the reception of Windows 7 OS. But then 'release' the printer of the XP virtual machine allows the printer under Windows 7 again. Not much for me.

• Best way to migrate a virtual machine from local drive to Cluster?

  Hello

  For historical reasons, we set up a virtual machine in the local disk of the ESX host.  This host is not connected to the San, where there is one group of another 3 ESX host.

  We would like to remove this standalone ESX host and migrate the virtual computer to the Cluster.  Should what tools I use?  Can use us the converter to do?  If so, when we connect to the Infrastructure of VI, does connect to the version independent host ESX OR import this virtual machine to an ESX Hos in the cluster?

  Thank you

  Hello

  your ESX host is connected to your vCenter?

  If Yes just turn off the virtual machine right click in vSphere client and choose migrate. Select destination storage and ESX server and it will be migrated.

  If it's not I turn off the virtual machine and just copy the whole directory of the VM on the new ESX Server with scp on ssh.

• Local and remote to the same virtual machine replication?

  Is it possible to configure replication for a virtual machine to replicate locally and remotely?

  For example:

  ServerA is my server I need to replicate.

  I set up replication for this VM ServerA to storage replicated in the same site (local)

  I opened the replication again for ServerA VM and I can only see/manage this replication.

  I would like to reproduce ServerA VM offisite in a remote cluster of VCenter for DR purposes.

  
  

  Is this possible? What I am doing wrong?

  same source VM cannot be replicated on the two sites with vSphere replication targets.

  If you use replication level storage table between the source to the target and the second replication, you use the replication of vSphere, it would be a different story.
