• Virtual machine running on snapshot but there are no spanpshot on the Snapshot Manager.

  Hi all,

  After a backup with VMware Data Recovery failure (error-3960 cannot suspend virtual machine), I have a virtual machine running on snapshot (see attachment) but there is no snapshot on the Snapshot Manager. Is the command to "consolidate" (I have never used this feature) the solution?

  Thank you.

  Marco.

  OK let me explain.

  As the chain of snapshot is not displayed in snapshot Manager, you can correct this problem in two ways.

  1 engage the snapshot command line. If you are uncomfortable in the command line, follow this KB KB VMware: commit snapshots on ESXi host command line if you are not comfortable follow step 2.

  2. create a new snapshot for this virtual machine (this will create a chain of snapshot, and you can see the snapshot in the Snapshot Manager), once the snapshot is created successfully. You can remove the snapshot in the Snapshot Manager.

  Hope this is clear. Let me know if not

• You can enable CDP on a host with virtual machines running?

  I want to activate CDP on my 3 hosts vShpere 4.1. Each host has about 20 guests on this subject. If I activate CDP via putty will affect the network connectivity of the virtual machines running on the vSwitch? Can I move all the VMS hospitality first?

  Hi Letstub,

  There is no need to evacuate your virtual machines from the vSwitch. Enable or disable CDP has no impact on the communications of the network of virtual machines. The following article that explains how to enable CDP mentions this prerequisite:

• Maximum number of virtual machines running?

  Is there a limit to the maximum number of virtual machines that you can run at the same time on the latest VMWare Workstation for Linux 64 - bit hard?

  I think I got 26 running right now, but my computer is reaching its limits, so I don't know if I'll be able to find the hard limit by just test it myself.

  Thank you

  .. .right now but my computer is reaching its limits

  It is actually the limit. There is no license or other limit.

• Virtual machines, run extremely slow when the console is consulted 2 virtual machines Windows Server 2008 64-bit, Windows Server 2003 32-bit, 2 VMWare for virtual machine

  I'm in a difficult situtaition here.  I am the daily contact with a new client.  My linux guy, who is also my boss who is very busy, asked me to do some research trying to find answers for what's not on this server. We have a dual Quad Core 2.5 Ghz Lenovo server with 10 GB of ram.  2 500 GB hard drives are Raid 1.  We run Virtual Server VMWare 2 on a Debian with Gnome installation as a user interface for the side of things Linux.  Grub is the boot loader. There are two virtual machines running on the server.  The one machine that serves as a domain controller is a Windows SBS 2008 Server 64 bit, and the secondary machine has no responsibility domain.  The second machine is a Windows Server 2003 32-bit.  the 10 GB of ram 6 GB is allocated to the SBS server and 4 GB to the 2003 server.

  The problem I am running into is that everything is so slow, especially if I connect remotely to do any sort of administration on the network.  Some examples of issues I've noticed is that as soon as I log on the server via Remote Desktop SBS console management Windows Server spike to 80-95% CPU usage and it will not stop unless I close the management console.  Another instance is that if I open Backup Exec 12.5 on the SBS server it will kill the speed of the processor as well.  Long story short, there are a lot of machine to do what we need to do, but something is not configured right and non of us know what it is.  Another point to note is that the server has been in production for about 3 weeks, and the server seemed to have locked up just twice.  My professional guess is that over time, some chose thing is eating causing the crash of the memory.

  Sorry I do not have much technical insight on this topic, but this is the best I have to offer.  Any questions you all have, I'll ask my people and see if I can answer, but I could really use your help here.

  Thank you in advance,

  Heath

  2 things:

  1 you really need hard drives more than 2 in a RAID 1 for proper performance under load. More disks the better. Although I don't think that's what your problem is, he'll probably be the problem Next you will do.

  2. I don't know exactly where the configuration file is on your box of Debian for VMware Server, but you should consider adding the following options in the configuration file (on windows, it's the vmware 'config.ini'):

  prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100".

  MemTrimRate = 0

  sched.mem.pshare.Enable = "FALSE".

  mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE".

  If you do some research, you can read about what these options (the largest is the memory page sharing - it should only be left on if you have a bunch of similar virtual machines running on the same box, that you don't have.) I honestly know why this is on by default, he kills the CPU when virtual machines are running different operating systems). These are the options that I now use standard in VMware Server deployments, with huge performance increases after you have added the. Just give a try.

  Edit: Also make sure that you have installed in your virtual machines VMware tools.

• Virtual machines running Win 7 OS

  I'm trying to get information on how to configure a virtual machine for Windows 7. I use virtual machines demonstrate software that writes my business. I have a virtual pc that is different for each demo that I show up to now, I've been showing the software in XP virtual machines but want to migrate and start showing the software in a version of Windows 7.

  I use Windows 7 Ultimate which is what I thought was necessary to create a virtual machine from Windows 7, but it isn't clear how get the operating system in the virtual machine. Should I buy another license of Windows 7 to make it work? I'll be able to create multiple virtual pc if I buy another copy? Virtual PC uses the 64-bit version?

  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks - BP

  Unfortunately the Virtual Machines have their own separate license from the license of the host system. There are also a separate license for each simultaneous installation.

  In order to run a 64-bit VM host must be running in 64-bit as well, even if a 64-bit host can run 32-bit VM

  Each virtual machine is at least 2 files, a configuration file and then 1 VHD file for each hard disk, you configure (you can have more than one) in the virtual machine. You can have any number of virtual images, but the memory that you allocate is claimed when you run the machine will be how many can run at a time that is limited to the amount of physical memory in the computer, allowing for some to be available for the host o/s.

  Once you have the license of Windows 7 either convert the disk ISO (I use ISORecorder) or download the ISO image equivalent of Digital River. When you create the VM configuration use the control panel to include an optical drive and load the ISO in the drive. When you start the virtual machine, it will be BIOS start the virtual machine, exactly as if it were a physical computer and load the ISO the same as would a Windows 7 disc. It also works if you convert your demo software into an ISO file and install more quickly without having to use the optical drive on the computer.

• All virtual machines running on ESXi 5.1 statement of Rx packet loss

  Can some of you please do me a favor? Find a virtual machine of yours running on ESXi 5.1, preferably 1117900 and let me know if you see a Rx packet loss in performance stats vCenter provides. Each single VM in my environment records packet loss. Virtual machines running on ESXi 5.0 are not related that at all. This also isn't a problem at the level of the host that there is no loss of package noted it.

• List of Cluster and the virtual machines running on this group

  Hello

  I am looking for a way to discover all of the virtual machines that belong to a cluster. In other words, I want a list that maps a cluster to all virtual machines running on it.

  In the documentation of the API, I find that "ClousterComputeResouce"has a managed object to "HostSystem" reference. "

  And "HostSystem" is a reference to managed object to the 'VirtualMachine'.

  So I can do it like this: ClusterComputeResource-> ManagedObjectRefence-> ManagedObjectRefence (VirtualMachine)-> whatever_properties_I_need_from_the_VM (HostSystem).

  However, this would cause a lot of ' Vim::get_views"calls within a"foreach"loop." It would be a deterrent to performance as the vCetner in question has ~ 50 clusters and has ~ 3500 running VMs.

  I think this was going to literally kill the VirtualCenter with so many API calls.

  My Question: is there an effective way to find Cluster and their respective VMs in vSphere SDK Perl.

  In vSphere client, we get the tab 'Virtual Machine' when we click on the Cluster and you can see all the virtual machines that belong to this cluster. So I hope that there must be an easier way.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You don't need the host_view for this action. Why don't you use begin_entity for views of the vm?

  my $cluster = 'cluster1. "

  My $cluster_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type-online 'ClusterComputeResource',

  filter => {"name"-online qr / ^ $cluster / I});
  {if ($cluster_view)}
  My $vm_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine',

  begin_entity => $cluster_view.

  Properties-online ['name']);
  foreach {$vm_ref(@$vm_views) my
  print $vm_ref--> name. » \n » ;
  }
  }

  Hope that helps!

• Somehow, I blocked my user account (login) and I tried to help but can't find any info. How to UNLOCK the user account. Than k you

  The user has clicked on Vista, the little lock at the bottom of the START window.

  Somehow, I blocked my user account (login) and I tried to help but can't find any info. How to UNLOCK the user account. Thank you

  Hello

  Click the account icon that was locked and enter the password IF you know and otherwise:

  Try Safe Mode - several times, press F8 that you start. The Admin account there is no default password
  so unless someone has changed, you should have access there. Then Control Panel - accounts - users
  Manage another account - use this down your user account (to the lowest level) APPLY/OK
  then go back and reset it to the Admin APPLY/OK - this clearly allows corruption. Do this several times.
  Then fix the password in your usual account. Do not forget to leave your account administrator if you
  wish.

  If no joy Mode without failure:

  Try this - use the hidden administrator account to lower your user account (to the lowest level) APPLY/OK
  then go back and reset it to the Admin APPLY/OK - this clearly allows corruption. Do this several times.
  Then fix the password in your usual account. Do not forget to leave your account administrator if you
  wish.

  Make another Admin account with your password and use it to fix the others if necessary. (just for
  repair, don't use regular account, not a safety valve) always keep a spare ADMIN account.

  DO NOT LEAVE THE ENABLED LSA OR USE DAILY. If it corrupts you are toast!

• Impossible to reconnect to a virtual machine running

  Hello

  I removed decadent a virtual machine running in the inventory.

  The machine virtual is critical and cannot be stopped.

  When I try to browse the data store the option "add to the inventory" is grayed out.

  How can I reconnect it to the inventory?

  Thank you

  Boaz

  Alternatively, you can try to reboot the virtual machine in vCenter:

  1 vim - cmd vmsvc/getallvms

  2 vim - cmd vmsvc/reload xx
  (xx is the VMID provided by the first command)

• After you import the virtual machines in LM, can I remove VC

  Hello

  I had a couple of machines to import the configuration of another admin... After you import the virtual machines in LM, can I remove the virtual machines, I imported VC? I now have more need to fight them with VC. LM depends on of these always after import?

  I do not believe, but you can rename the folder and see if something is complaining.  If it isn't, it is probably safe to delete.

• Compare with virtual machines running VMs

  So, recently, we had a major problem in our environment where a ton of virtual machines registered of VC and even became unmaged by facilitators, so we had to go to each host compare managed virtual machines running virtual machines.  Is there a way to do this in Powershell?  My brain is fried so I didn't have much luck.  Thank you!

  Could the script in this post, HowTo find all VMX files in all data warehouses and store them in VC?, maybe help you?
