  Shared behavior of the virtual machine on the host system shutdown

  Greetings,

  I installed WIn7 - 64 bit host system, WS8 and there seems to be a very nice and high quality configuration. I am very happy.

  There is a shared VM and it's a Setup 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 Server functioning as a base configuration LAMP for some basic web applications, etc..

  I was unable to find the settings to control the behavior of the VM shared with the system that hosts stop. When I stop the host system, I believe that the common VM is off tension or stop gracefully, I don't know who. What I like best is for the shared VM will not apply instead. The reason is that starting the virtual machine is a bit complicated and requires manual intervention. Whereas, if it is stopped since a State suspended without manual intervention is necessary.

  I found that if there is a loss of power, I can hibernate the host system in time before my battery runs out. Resuming the host hibernate system works correctly and the VM shared within WS8 is back to its previous functional State.

  It would be nice and helpful being able to stop or restart the host system and know that the shared virtual machine has been automatically suspended. So now I have to log on to the user account from the host system and open WS8 and manually suspend the virtual machine before you stop or restart the host system.

  Is there a way to have the shared VM automatically suspended when the host system is stop?

  Thank you for your time and attention.

  You can configure the stop action by editing the following file:

  %ProgramData%\VMware\hostd\vmAutoStart.XML

  If you want to configure the action stop for all virtual machines, find the section of under the section. Change it on hold

  If you want to change the action stop for only this one machine virtual, you must first configure this shared VM to be started automatically (in WS, right-click on the item 'VMs shared' in the library, select "manage computers virtual auto-start '). After doing this, manually change the vmAutoStart.xml. Find the entry for the virtual machine in the section (if you have more than one computer configured to autostart virtual, it will take some more digging to understand what VM to change). Change the entry for this virtual machine to hang.

  Save the file. Reboot the host (not auto-start power actions are only made when the host is restarted). Now when stop you the host, WS should suspend the VM (s)

  As always, manually edit the configuration files is not considered supported its use. Save the file before you edit. Adjust at your own risk.

• 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.

• Manually migrate virtual machines from the host is not responding.

  I have a 3 host cluster.  One of the guests became unresponsive.  Continue to run all the virtual machines connected to the host is not responding and I can't RDP for them.  I am able to SSH to the host does not respond, but not connect via vCenter.

  Restart the services will cancel the virtual machines running?  If this isn't the case, then what is the command to restart the services?

  What is the best plan to manually migrate those virtual machines for the other two hosts?

  SSH, cd to \usr\sbin, then run "services.sh restart" (without the quotes). Which will restart management services, with no impact to your VM. Then you should be able to re - connect with Vcenter.

• How can access us the Client on a virtual machine on the host ESXi VI?

  Good afternoon, we are evaluating a virtualization solution, our company is small and we want only 3 servers to virtualize, and we want to use one of the virtual machines on the ESXi host, using the Client of VI, so we can use the keyboard and the screen of this server to access virtual machines. Our idea is to use this virtual machine as a workstation.

  Is this possible? or we use VMware server?

  Kind regards

  Cristian Fernández

  It is really not possible. Since the physical ESXi console, you will see only the menus and COS screens.

• Recover a virtual machine or the host 'path '.

  I need to know full "path" to a virtual machine or host, as it appears in the display of 'Virtual Machines' and the models in the vSphere client.  Right now, my c# code uses recursion to browse and build each path individually.  For a large environment (500 + VMs) this process takes an extremely long time.  I know that recursion is the problem but I'm curious if anyone has found a way more effective way fundraising a virtual machine or host?  Thank you and I have provided a sample below to show what I want back.

  "Atlanta, development, Mike, MyVM01.

  • "Atlanta" is the data center

  • 'Development' is a folder under the data center 'Atlanta '.

  • 'Mike' is a folder under the folder 'development '.

  • "MyVM01" is the real display of virtual machine name.

  Take a look at this script: listVMByFolder.pl you can easily modify the script to change the way she came out of what you like.

• Slow down the virtual machines on the host of underutilized - unknown reason

  Hello

  What could cause virtual machines running on a host computer with a lot of unused memory, processor power and disk IO sink so slowly that it takes 30 minutes just to open a Windows session on one of them?

  I ran about 5 virtual machines on a host with 16 GB of RAM, but have now upgraded to 32 GB of RAM in the hope to add more virtual machines. At some point, most of the machines is idle, and SysInternals Process Explorer shows less than 20% use by the processors. E/s disk too is usually measured in kb/s - 16 disks systems although RAID is capable of much more of IO.

  As soon as I run about 6 or 7 of virtual machines instead of about 5, I meet considerable slowdowns as mentioned above. I use only about 20 GB of the 32 GB in the system when problems occur.

  Dramatik2

  The aggreggate e/s disc is irrelevant.

  You need to look at the disk queue length, read, write, transfer, etc.

• Stop several hosts and the virtual machine on the host computers

  Sorry to bother the community again. Right now I have a script that stop or suspend virtual machines on a host in order using an external file to store the order (with the help of lamw). The plan is for the script to reside in a virtual centre with multiple hosts. The script must be able to stop the vm on the host, the closure of the host (to be ordered the same idea with the external file), then jump to the next host and continue the same process. I tried to create nested for loops this task, but it doesn't seem to work. Any help would be appreciated. I have attached the script. Thanks in advance

  I think you try to only syspend or stop each VM and then stop the host.

  This code might help.

• To virtual machines from the host local disk HARD iSCSI - without Vmotion

  If my company has been slowly in VMware since the summer. We started with a license to the Foundation, then added some hosts more and matched with a bolt on the license for VC. Now, we ended up finding this iSCSI on another budget and realized... oh yes... VMotion is not a function of VC... it costs more... once again...

  Is there a way to copy on a host virtual machine machines local hard disks to iSCSI?... must not be direct... just so that if a host dies it does not take down 5-6 VM with it.

  As you have a license for the best average VC to do this is to turn off the host, right-click on it and select Migrate.  As long as the host can see little space on the iSCSI device, you will be able to migrate out, cold.

• State of the virtual machine after the host failure

  Hello

  If a virtual machine is running on a host and that host suddenly powers off dirty, like a power failure or a remote access card power the server due to a fault, overtemp etc., what happens to the virtual machine?

  My guess is the virtual machine is actually difficult, dirty off too and if HA is configured, etc it is going to do a full power on sequence. Or is it restart on a new server and be automatically in the same power state with the same States of memory and cpu until the host has dropped dead? So if I got a connection of the DRC in a vm of windows server and the host dies suddenly and it restarts, reconnect to the session even State immediately before the breaking of the host?

  Thank you

  When ESX\ESXi fails due to power failure:

  No configured HA:

  1. all virtual machines is also faces off against the sudden stop. SMV will lose data runtime and all communications (including the RDP connection) will be interrupted.

  Configured HA:

  1 VMs will be powered - on on a different host. However, its the same as a reset of the virtual machine, we will lose any unsaved data.

  VMware FT:

  We ensure 100% uptime for a virtual machine using VMware Fault Tolerance. In case of failure of the host, next time school resumes VM in FT. More details on IP are available at the following link.

• vCenter shows all virtual machines and the host is disconnected

  Hello

  I have a two nodes in the cluster ESXi6 U2 (recently updated to 5.5) running on hp dl380p gen8. For some reason all the virtual machines are running on host A (HA and DRS are enabled).  vCenter shows all virtual machines and host A is disconnected. Cannot connect to A host using vSphere client or web client. Cannot vMotion the VMs. Impossible to activate SSH. Connection DCUI works very well. Cannot perform any action VM

  All virtual machines are in place are running at this point. I don't want to restart the virtual machines. Can you help me please?

  Thank you

  AJ

  Frozen screen DCUI came back to life. The active SSH access, killed the running process. The host of running backs.

  See you soon,.

• View of the Virtual Machine with the host name of the filtering

  Hello

  I'm trying to get a specific view of the Virtual Machine from a hypervisor.

  Basically, I tried to reuse an idea found on the script of cdromdisconnect.pl, an address in http://communities.VMware.com/message/1192878#1192878

  The code would be

  My $host_view = Vim::find_entity_view)
  view_type = > 'HostSystem. "
  filter = > {'name' = > $vm_hypervisor_name},
  );

  My $host_moref = $host_view-> {mo_ref} {value};

  
  $vm_view = Vim::find_entity_views)
  view_type = > 'VirtualMachine.
  filter = > {}
  'runtime.host' = > $host_moref,

  'name' = > $vm_name,

  },
  );

  But the API said that "filtering is only supported for the Simple Type"

  So I'm just the host_view and then call the property "-> virtual machine" to recover all the vm of the host, and then I loop inside the table to retrieve the name and the virtual machine, I am looking

  But, is there not a smoother way to directly get the view of the entity of VM to a specific host?

  Thank you

  Give a try:

  $host_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type-online "HostSystem", filter-online {'name'-online $host_name}) | Die "could not get $host_name!"

  $vm_view = Vim::find_entity_views)
  view_type-online 'VirtualMachine.
  filter-online {'name'-online $vm_name},

  begin_entity => $host_view.

  },
  );

• 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.

• How to find the IP address of the virtual machines from the host Linux

  Hello

  Y at - it a tool that can resolve the IP address of the linux host running VMS, when using NAT and DHCP networking?

  I can find by logging on virtual machines, but I need to retrieve automatically these addresses for the host scripts will not have to be changed manually when IPs change.

  Thank you

  Host: Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit, WS6.5

  Probably the easiest solution is to use static IP addresses... Having said that, what I meant was:

  Each machine (real and virtual) has a unique MAC address. If I create a file (database type) with the name and the MAC address of each virtual machine, then I could use nmap or arp commands to get the IP address. For example, I create a table and put it in a file like this:

  VMName1 00:14:BF:19:45:61

  VMName2 00:0E:5 C: 1 has: 44:1E

  Name of the machine 3. etc.

  Then I could run a combination of arp and/or nmap to find the MAC address of active machines and their respective IP addresses. For example, running:

  sudo nmap - sP 10.0.2.0/24

  This gives on my local network:

  Starting Nmap 4.76 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2009-08-14 18:09 EDT

  Host 10.0.2.1 seems to be upward.

  MAC address: 00:14:BF:19:45:61 (Cisco-Linksys)

  Host 10.0.2.99 appears to be upward.

  MAC address: 00:10:83:BB:08:99 (Hewlett-Packard Company)

  Host 10.0.2.130 appears to be upward.

  MAC address: 00:0E:5 C: 1 has: 44:1E (Motorola BCS)

  Host 10.0.2.134 appears to be upward.

  Nmap done: 256 IPS (4 hosts upward) scanned at 3.71 seconds

  So, now, I know that the machine VMName1 with MAC 00:14:BF:19:45:61 has IP 10.0.2.1 and is it my Linksys router.

  Just a thought.

• Create a great metric for virtual machines that shows how many virtual machines on the host parent

  One of the properties of a virtual computer's Parent host.  I would like to pass this info on to a metric Super VM and use to gather the number of VMS are on the associated VM host Parent.   This SM would be so associated with my VMs.

  Is this possible?

  -MattG

  I found this:

  AVG (${adaptertype = VMWARE, objecttype = HostSystem, attribute is summary | total_number_vms, depth =-1})

  Because I had to use a host object type I don't think he would show as a metric of Super in the scope of the VM... it does!
