• After the Virtual Machine is hot migrated lose the reference to the virtual computer object (VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine)

  Hello

  In my VB.Net application, I retrieve the virtual computer object (VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine) through scripting Powershell VI.

  If the Virtual Machine is migrated to another host (hotmigrate) I receive an event (VMware.Vim.VmMigratedEvent), which also holds the moref of the Virtual Machine. I tried to use the updateview method to refresh the virtual computer object but failed with an error message stating that the object could not be found, or never existed.

  I also tried to recover the virtual computer object again, throug the method Client.GetView and the moref returned by the event, but the same error message.

  How can I get my hands on the virtual computer object or update after migration to another host takes place. I have to get it back again? It would be great if I could do it somhow with information from moref I hold the event!

  Any help is appreciated!

  Concerning

  Manfred

  Sorry, but I can only show you how to do this in PowerShell.

  I use the purpose of the task to get to the prompt MoRef.

  Here's how:

  $vmName = 
  $tgtHost = 
  $tgtPool = 
  
  $vm = Get-VM $vmName | Get-View
  $poolMoRef = (Get-ResourcePool $tgtPool | Get-View).MoRef
  $esxMoRef = (Get-VMHost $tgtHost | Get-View).MoRef
  
  $task= Get-View ($vm.MigrateVM_Task($poolMoRef, $esxMoRef, "lowPriority", "poweredOn"))
  
  while($task.Info.State -eq "running" -or $task.Info.State -eq "queuing"){
    $task.UpdateViewData()
  }
  
  $vmImpl = Get-VIObjectByVIView -MORef $task.Info.Entity
  

  I don't know how you get at the VmMigratedEvent event, but the MoRef in there is pointing to the correct prompt.

  In the following script, I extracted all the events related to the task of vMigrate immediately after the vMigrate task finished

  function Print-VmName{
       param($event)
  
       $MoRef = New-Object VMware.Vim.ManagedObjectReference
       $MoRef.Type = $event.vm.vm.type
       $MoRef.Value = $event.vm.vm.Value
       $vm = Get-View $MoRef
       Write-Host $vm.Name
  }
  
  $events = Get-VIEvent -Start (Get-Date).addminutes(-15)
  $events | % {
       $event = $_
       $eventType = $_.GetType().Name
       switch ($eventType){
            "VmMigratedEvent" {
                 $eventType
                 Print-VmName $event
            }
            "VmEmigratingEvent"{
                 $eventType
                 Print-VmName $event
            }
            "VmBeingHotMigratedEvent" {
                 $eventType
                 Print-VmName $event
            }
            "TaskEvent" {
                 $eventType
                 Print-VmName $event
            }
       }
  }
  

• Have problems connecting to the Internet after the virtual machine has crashed.

  Original title: problems sudden ethernet

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with connecting my computer custom-made. I was with my virtual machine to run an android phone. It connected via a second wireless connection (I don't know much I just let it work). It crashed my computer and when I rebooted I had no internet.

  It would also be useful to mention that I recently had a BSOD because of the virtual Manager and a driver, but I solved it.

  He said that no connection is available, and there is a red cross.

  So far I have tried:

  A second ethernet cable - nothing. (The two wires green on the end of the PC and the end of the router).

  Updated windows, but he can't because of the lack of connection.

  System Restore, but it says "Windows has detected corruption of system files on Local disk (C .)» You should check the drive for errors before you can restore it.

  sfc/scannow, but which translates "could not Windows Resource Protection start the repair service".

  I have also reinstalled the drivers for my cable ethernet twice and nothing.

  If more information is needed please ask. Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  In Device Manager, expand network adapters, right click on the Ethernet device and update the driver.  Otherwise, identify the manufacturer, go to their website and download the latest driver.

• Cancel the virtual extension

  Hello!

  I've just developed my maximum available up to VM's both hard drives. Free space is 963M.

  Now the virtual machine may not start:

  Has no power on VM
  Could not power on VM: no space is available on the device

  Is it possible to cancel the expansion?

  Or can I transfer of VD files to another volume that is *-ctk.vmdk, *-flat.vmdk, *.vmdk?

  Where the browser data store? I can't find it in vSphere Client.

  There are two ways to open the browser to store data in the vSphere Client. One of them is to select the ESXi host in the inventory, click 'Configuration'-> 'Storage' and then right click the datatstore.

  What happens if I copy *.vmdk, then remove the disc in the old location and add in the new?

  It is an option that you have. If you run this command line, make sure you copy, the descriptor as long as the hard flat file. In ESXi each virtual disk consists of two files, even if one hard file appears in the browser to store data.

  Where can I find manual vmkfstools?

  Run man vmkfstools from the command line.

• Persistent routes no longer work after the virtual machine restarts

  Hello community.

  I was hoping that someone can shine a light on a problem I have experienced. I have a virtual machine that multiple network cards. Some are exposed to the Internet, some are just private and some are B2B connections. Now, I put the roads for a particular to Adapater it limits by using this command: route add 13.x.x.x mask 255.255.255.255 if0x10005-p 10.x.x.x. I could pinch the IP address once I put it but once I restart the virtual machine of the road is still there, but I can no longer to pinch the INVESTIGATION period. This happens in several environments I.

  I am running windows 2003 which has been recently patched with the latest

  I'm running the latest ESX3 and VC 2.5

  Any help would be great.

  FYI - Pinch is another form of Ping.

  Set the gateway on the roads. Both that the getway is only not shared by any other way on the same system your traffic should go out any interface is associated with the network which is located in the gateway. in this way, you don't have to worry about the interface.

  Hello

  
  

  I had to migrate our VCenter Server Appliance VM (5.5 x) that uses the database into another ESXi host.

  Hi Ryan,

  I fixed all my issues in upgrading the VCSA to the latest version. Version 5.5.0 Build 2414847

  Other treatments VCSA had already been upgraded to this version and it worked very well.

  Thanks for help with ideas.

• Reset the virtual machine MAC address with API VCD

  Is it possible to get the same functionality that the VCD UI where for the properties of a virtual computer, you can go to drop-down list MAC address and select "Reset". After the virtual computer is updated, a new MAC address. I was not able to achieve this goal of the API by using the following link to change.

  API/v1.0/vApp/VM-2008703626/networkConnectionSection

  and by the way < MACAddress > Reset < / MACAddress >

  What makes the user interface behind the scenes? The same is possible via the API?

  Hello

  Try this element sends do not at all. This would reset the Mac address.

• Cannot add USB controller to the virtual computer

  We are trying to add a USB port to a virtual machine under ESXi 4 (free) material: it gives us the opportunity, said it can be added to this virtual machine, shows, she added to the list, but when I click on 'ok' final we get this error in a pop-up (Word for Word):

  "There are not enough licenses to complete this operation.
  ' Hotplug not approved, required function have need.

  Yes, that's exactly how the second line reads.

  In ESXi 4, you must completely shut down the virtual machine before you can add the USB controller. It's a change of 3.5, enabling you to 'hotplug' material while the machine was still running.

  In addition, you will probably be able to connect a USB device to a virtual machine. I have yet to find someone who has got this to work with the free license and no additional software. There are USB for IP devices that have been suggested for use with ESXi. If someone got the USB transfer to work on a box of vanilla ESXi, pleas ëlet me know. It would be quite beneficial.

• Unable to start the virtual computer after restoring the backup

  Hello

  I have a very big problem! I have a Machine virtual Windows Server 2003 on a Mac Mini with Mac OS 10.6.8 2009 Sever Server and VMWare Fusion 4.1.1 and I had a record of crash! A backup is performed daily and I take snapshots of security risk.

  I changed the faulty HARD drive and restore "Mac Data. Now I want to restore my data from VM, but after that, I can't throw my VM. I have this error message: "Unable to get information on snapshots, lock down." (French translation, it can differ from original English message).

  I get on the internet and found that you must delete the snapshots and try again, but when I do this, I have this error message: "the VM seems to be used. The same thing when I want to create a new capture instant.

  I'm stuck and I have to solve that before Monday...

  Thanks in advance for the help.

  With the merger closed, open the package of vmwarevm of the VM (CTRL-click) and delete all the files and folders with a .lck extension. These files are used to lock the files logically and very probably contain stale data.

  BTW. do you really need > 20 shots? Too many clichés can slow down the virtual machine significantly.

• Increase in the size of the virtual disk after update comments

  Hello

  I'll put up a basic using Fedora 11 virtual machine. I installed it with the installer in text mode to get a basic system with a small footprint. Once installation is complete, the size of the folder for the virtual machine is 564 MB. After you have installed a few programs (presto, nano) and run yum update, the size of the folder double almost to .97GB when the virtual machine is shut down. There is no snapshot on each machine. Disk settings are a single virtual disk of 8 GB, 2 GB split, not preallocated. The OS is Vista Business 32-bit. VMware Workstation is 6.5.3 Build 185404.

  What is all that extra space? I tried the yum and several options reset but no luck. I ran - x - m - max-depth = 1 / in computers with the following results:

  On the virtual machine without Update:

  This something that escapes me that would cause this increase in space?

  Thank you.

  When you don't have vmware tools installed vmware-vdiskmanager shrink is indeed very.

  You first need to wipe unused space with zeros.

  If DD \u003d/dev/zero of = 0bits bs = # 20971520 bs = 20 m rm 0bits

  The two commands will create a such wiperfile.

  You must run these commands for every single partition that you use.

  When done turn off the virtual machine and run vmware-vdiskmanager with option to shrink again.

  This time, it will be more efficient

• Firefox extension: 'TrueSuite 5.2.500.16' stopped working after the last update of firefox (30.0), although subject: said plugin activated. No difficulty to make it work?

  Firefox extension: 'TrueSuite 5.2.500.16' stopped working after the last update of firefox (30.0), although subject: said plugin activated.

  I tried to reset firefox and search for similar problems, unfortunately found nothing.

  It is also weird empty space before the address in the address bar

  other extensions and addons seems to work very well.

  Firefox 30 spent some less commonly used "Always turned on" plugins "asking to activate. To check and change this to TrueSuite, you can use the page modules. Either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click on Plugins. Then on the right, check the setting on the right side of TrueSuite.

  Any difference?

  Note to other readers: the original poster had to leave Firefox and start it again until it is actually entered into force.

• all missing extensions after the update of FF15

  I've just updated to FF15 and all my extensions are missing. Some having to do with AVG "do follow" and the toolbar AVG and others having nothing to do with AVG at all. After a day or two, some of them only to reappear, the AVG "do follow" but was always missing a toolbar. I did a complete uninstall and reinstall AVG and 15 FF and there was no change - the missing extensions. AVG says it's a FF problem. I tried safe mode and no difference. The extensions have been working up to 14 FF, but even if I try to go back to 14 extensions remain missing. I'm puzzled as to what is causing the problem and how to fix it. Any suggestion would be appreciated

  Thanks for the reply. Three of my extension just reappear once again as it had already happened. One being the extension of "don't follow" AVG and two other foreigners to moy. The AVG toolbar is still missing, but it's no big deal since I use anyway, and had disabled. In fact, I'm sure it's a problem of AVG in any case is not not compatible with FF 15. I have read your responses, but I am still confused as to how or why they just disappeared and reappear. As always, thanks for the help.
