• Pre-built virtual machine with OBIEE and APEX

  Hi all
  
  I searched for a virtual machine with OBIEE and APEX pre-installed, but I can't find it... or information messages on this subject. Does anyone know if y at - it a selection of pre-designed developer programs VM with these two tools?
  I currently have the "database App Development VM' with APEX in there, but I can't understand how to install OBIEE inside.
  
  Any help will be appreciated.
  
  Please, if this is not the right category where I should ask the question, let me know and I'll move it.
  
  Thank you.
  Elena.

  PL see deployment guide in the link above - the model of computer virtual includes version of database 11.2.0.3, which should be the APEX installed by default in it. If this isn't the case, it will be much easier to install the APEX in the VM OBIEE.

  For sharing files between the host and the guest, pl see the Virtualbox documentation - http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#sharedfolders

• ESXi 4 hosts and virtual machines with domains and different IP addresses

  Hello, I hope someone can shed some light on this problem.

  I have an ESXi host.  It is in the 'AREA A' and has an IP address like 204.75.225.6.

  Is it possible to use the tool VMware P2V Converter some servers that are located in one field other than ESXi host and have different IP addresses?

  Example: VM candidate: in "AREA B" with IP address 192.168.1.56.

  Both domains trust each other.

  Y at - it a tip to configure the network settings on the host to allow that?

  I currently have 2 vSwitches.  One for the management network and the other is for the traffic of the virtual machine.

• Restore virtual machines with Netbackup and VCB

  I just Netbackup 6.5.2 and using VCB 1.5.  When I create my backups, it makes the .img files.  When I try to restore using Netbackup, it won't recognize backups from windows NT and not Flash.  And VM converter does not recognize the .img files.  So, how can I restore, what am I am I doing wrong?

  Hello.  The NetBackup .img files are not accessible directly.  They are used internally by NetBackup.

  When the only restore files vmdk (virtual machine complete), NetBackup 6.5.2 supports two types of restorations.  First of all, you can automatically perform a restore of the entire virtual machine by using the free VMware Converter component.  The second method involves all first restore VMware vmdk and then manually by your restoration.

  These processes are described in the document of NetBackup 6.5.2 update which can be found here:

• Cloning of virtual machines with snapshots

  Is it possible to take a virtual machine with snapshots, and then copy the individual vmdk files that make up a set of 5 shots manually and create a new virtual machine, so that all of the snapshots is all kept - and if it works what are the possible caviats / traps?  When you use just the cloning tool, it includes all snapshots.

  Hi TheVMinator,

  As mentioned in the kb, it is not recommended. But if you stop your virtual machine, copy the complete folder and then save the new VMX, it should work.

  The only problem that you have is a corruption of the sequence of disk. In this case, you can try to fix it or make another copy of the original VM. But you will not damage your original machine.

  Good luck.

• Photos of virtual machines with multiple disks on different LUNS - Question

  I have some questions on how to manage the snapshots of virtual machines with multiple disks on different LUNS.  First of all, the LUNS are VMFS.  We are just starting to add virtual machines with dedicated for data storage format VMFS LUNS.  I don't think an extra space must be made for snapshots, as well as at least 100 GB LUN is required to store the data, and then say, add about 25 to 50% of this amount?  Set the 100 GB vmdk file but have the GB from 25 to 50 additional disk space for snapshots, if necessary (rather than just to get a unit number logic needed 100 GB of data and devote all of the 100 GB to the vmdk file).  In addition, if a virtual machine has several files vmdk on different LUNS, which will be a problem to take a snapshot, and is it possible to do just a snapshot of a disk of a virtual computer (as the volume of the BONE)?

  Thanks for any help.

  Snapshot files are created in the home folder of the VM by default for all virtual disks, no matter on what data store they are. You must make sure you have enough free disk space on the data store for snapshots.

  If you want to exclude a virtual disks of taking snapshots, you can set it to 'Independent' - 'Persistent' machine virtual settings to the HARD drive.

• Using filters and Get - view to find virtual machines with a specific guest operating system.

  I have the following code snippet to find all virtual machines with the updated OS to ' Red Hat Enterprise Linux * "prompt. It does not work. If the filter is left out, I find myself with all virtual machines.

  The immediate question is the specs for the game ' Red Hat Enterprise Linux. " Originally from the "Performance Difference between GET - VM and GET-VIEW")

  The biggest problem for me is to understand for Get-View filter. I was capable of a bit of insight to gleen from the URL below, but I think what Miss me is the reference (Microsoft) for what is happening to the right of the equal sign. What is the correct terminology for this type of query expression / where the syntax is 'left' = 'straight' and keywords such as "-match" are not allowed.

• Help to get a list of virtual machines with switch network and name

  I'm trying to get a simple list of virtual machines on a single host and include their name and networkname.

  When I run this Get - vm | where {$_.} $host.name - eq "ESX.local"}, I get the virtual machines with their name.  When I run this Get-networkadapter - vm Get - vm | where {$_.} $host.name - eq "ESX.local"} I download news network with the name of the network, which is what im after. "  I want to combine these 2 commands and get vm name and network name in a csv.  The network name is the Group of ports, the VM is affected change settings for example, it could be vlan10 or what you named your group of ports in the switch DV.  I've attached a screenshot of the orders successfully.

  Hello, brisketx-

  You could do a little more efficiently by getting first the VMHost (s) that are of interest, then get their virtual machines and then using a computed property for the names of network for virtual machines.  As:

  Get-VMHost esx.local | Get-VM |    Select-Object Name, @{n="NetworkName"; e={(Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $_ | %{$_.NetworkName}) -join ","}}
  

  You can then, of course, lead to Export-Csv to write the data to a CSV file.  How does do for you?

• URGENT! After installing 6 Fusion and creation of new virtual machine with Windows 7, I get a message "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit". WHAT SHOULD DO?

  After purchase, installation and activation Fusion 6 with the license key, I had a library of VMS showing 2 Boot Camp partitions. It's strange that I only have 1.
  I tried to activate them but received a message that it is out of date in 2 cases. (see annex 1)

  I started a new virtual machine with a Windows 7 installation disc directly on my HD. I have provided a way to do this and followed the instructions of Fusion to the screen.

  Apparently, everything went well and after several restarts, the installation appears to be over (see annex 2) I tried to open and run the installed Windows 7. I had however a window with the following message:

  "Pending the unit.

  "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit. Please wait until the unit starts automatically, or interact with the virtual machine below. ' (see annex 3)

  Here Windows 7 seems to start but after a while with the home screen and of the Øresund finishing this window closed and open a new window called library Virtual Machine on the left showing the partitions of Bootcamp and the Virtual Machine Windows 7 x 64 and in the middle gray a representation of what is supposed to be the Windows 7 desktop. (see Exhibit 4). When I opened the settings button a window with different setting options pops up. This mark means to me that Windows is installed but the final opening isn't the case

  When you quit Vmware Fusion indeed Windows seems to be close (see part 5)

  What is going on? What has gone wrong? What should I do? I don't know how to solve the problem.

  I should f.i. remove the virtual machine from Windows 7 and is free automatically made partition on my HD as the reboot with the Windows installation disc? or y at - it another way to enter the UNIT?

  Help, please!

  Thanks in advance

  Your virtual machine is running. It is in the unit - which each windows gets its own window of Mac - and you have no application Windows running, there is no visible windows. You can start a Windows application in the start of Fusion menu in the menu bar at the top right, or turn on the Windows task bar on the view menu and start applications from there. Or use the view menu to switch to the Single mode or full-screen, which puts all of your Windows desktop in a window separate from Mac.

  You do not have two partitions to Boot Camp on your Mac, you have two virtual machines named "Boot Camp partition".

  The message about it being unable to enter the unit arrives while the merger is pending for the tools begin to run, because the tool is necessary for the unit.

• Start and stop Virtual Machines with the system

  Hello

  In a server cluster @vcenter HA/DRS 5.1, I enabled start and stop virtual machines with the system option but after I checked two days later, he is off again somehow. What makes this option off? I had a power failure in the datacenter. vCenter server has not been upward. I started all of the ESXi servers manually then went all VMs account is declining. I want that they start automatically when server ESXi upward.

  Thanks in advance,

  Thank you. This option is more valid than if the hosts are part of an HA Cluster license. I suspect that you configured through the traditional vSphere Client and that it is a bug with this client. If you try with the new vSphere Web Client, you will find a notice that it is disabled and there is no button "Edit".

• Create a virtual machine with 300G

  Hello, I am trying to create a virtual machine with 300 G on an ESX 3.5 update 3 but I can't do it, I can only create a VM of 256 G

  Is it possible to create a virtual machine of 300G.

  I have a 500G LUN with software on a CX3 - 10 c EMC iSCSI

  Thank you very much

  Change the size of block on your VMFS.

  If you create a data store, the default block size is 1 MB, which will allow you to create files up to 256 GB

  Change the block to 2 MB size. However, you will need to recreate your data store and this wil destroy all data on it!

• Cannot create a virtual machine with a vmdk file copied from another location, please find the attached error

  Hi all

  I copied a file from one place vmdk and try to make a new virtual machine with this vmdk file. But when I turn on after the creation of vm error is coming. Error in the text and the image below

  Power on the virtual machine: cannot open scsi0:0 disc: disc not supported or not valid type 7. Ensure that the disk has been imported.

  See the error of the stack for more details on the cause of this problem.

  An error was received from the ESX host turning on DBServer VM.

  Could not open scsi0:0 disc: disc not supported or not valid type 7. Ensure that the disk has been imported.

  This error message generally if the hard files have been copied hosted as VMware Workstation product, which uses a format of sparse file that is not supported on an ESXi host. Instead of the hard copy, you can use VMware Converter, or - if you prefer - you can convert the hard using vmware-vdiskmanager (before transfer) or vmkfstools (after downloading). I deal to use vmkfstools you will need to load the mutliextent module (see for example "Clone or migration operations involving virtual discs non-VMFS on ESXi fail with an error" vSphere 5.1 Release Notes)

• How to export/import a virtual machine with ESXi 5

  I use the free version of ESXi 5 and have created a virtual machine that is configured with the software for our project. I would like to share this virtual machine with other members of the team, some of whom are in other places and have slow network connections.  I want to pack the VM in a reasonable size file or a set of files I could ftp (or put it on DVD for people in areas of slow network) that they could then import into their ESXi hosts. The virtual machine has a 60 GB drive that is implemented by using the option 'thin', so it contains only 6 or 7 GB of real data right now.  Is it possible to export the image to a file or set of files that can be imported to another people ESXI host?  Before when I used VM Player we could do this by upgrading backup files in virtual machine directory and copy them to the new machine. With the ESXi data store, I don't know that something like this can be done.  I used vCenter Converter to convert to ESXi Infrastructure VM in VM Player format (and vice versa), but it is extremely slow. I think I might point the Source to my ESXi host and the Destination to a co-workers ESXi host and run a 'conversion' to transfer the files, but I think it would be very slow and impractical for some people to 'slow-network '.  I tried with vSphere Client navigation data store and I see the download options, but when I tried to download a VM directory it just hung.  I enabled ssh on my server ESXi and I found the store of data under/vmfs/volumes and when I look in the folder that contains my VM, there a file myvmname - flat hard which is 60 GB in size, so if I tar the contents of this folder to move elsewhere it will be huge.

  Can anyone suggest a solution?  The licensed version of ESXi would offer better alternatives?

  You can watch export OVF available in the Client vSphere for this function.

• Let me know scenarios when different virtual machines with the same UUID are created in VMware Hypervisors?

  Let me know scenarios when different virtual machines with the same UUID created in VMware Hypervisors, aside from editing the .vmx file?

  The only other way I've seen is when you manually copy the virtual machine to another location on the data store (or another data store) and then when turn on/off the virtual machine, select I moved, rather that I copied it (the default option).  This will keep the same UUID.
