• Import the Virtual Machine Notes to new vCenter 5.1

  Is there a way to import the Virtual Machine Notes to a new vCenter attribute? I am able to export notes to help

  $vm = get - VM | Select Name, Notes

  $vm | Export-csv notes.csv

  but cannot find a way to import...

  Thanks Andy

  Hi Andy,.

  to import the attribute information about the virtual machine in a new vCenter server, you can use the following script PowerCLI:

  Import-CSV -Path Notes.csv |
  ForEach-Object {
    Get-VM $_.Name |
    Set-VM -Notes $_.Notes -Confirm:$false
  }
  

• Cannot start the virtual machine after you create snapshop

  I found a strange behaviour. I have a Windows 2008 guest that I just copied in my new box ESXi. I am trying to create a snapshot before upgrading the guest to 2012 Windows operating system. The virtual machine has currently no snapshots. Whenever I have create a snapshot, he succeeds, but then I can't start the virtual machine saying that it does not find the vmdk file delta even though I see there in the data store. In order to start the virtual machine, I have to delete the inventory and it readd, but then I lose the snapshot. I also have another computer virtual running Windows 8.1 that does exactly the same thing. How can I create snapshots safely without damaging the virtual machine? I also tried to create the snapshot while the virtual machine has been activated but that makes crashing and then it does not start again, so I have to repeat the process to remove the inventory and it time. Frustrating. See the screenshots, I have attached.

  Once these virtual machines have been in Hyper-V in the past and I just convert to VMware format using the StarWind V2V converter.

  Yes, for an ESXi host and target you must either select the ESX f.vmdk as format target (growable option is for VMware Workstation), or you must convert the virtual machine once more instead of simply upload the files to an ESXi host.

• 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.

• Could not enumerate the virtual machines that are used as models

  Hey guys,.

  I have a simple script that collects information from a virtual computer. Unfortunately, I'm getting a lot of mistakes, he doesn't pull out information if the virtual machine is used as a model.

  $date = get-Date-format-M - d - yyyy

  Import-Csv C:\test\servers_mate.csv - UseCulture | %{

  Get-VM-name $_. Name |

  Select Name,

  @{N = 'Center'; E = {Get-Datacenter - VM $_______ |} {{Select - ExpandProperty name}}.

  @{N = "Cluster"; E = {Get-Cluster - VM $_______ |} {{Select - ExpandProperty name}}.

  Host, NumCpu, MemoryGB,

  ProvisionedSpaceGB, Powerstate,

  @{N = "Path"; E = {}

  $current = get-view $_. ExtensionData.Parent

  $path = $_. Name

  {}

  $parent = $current

  if($parent.) Name - only "vm") {$path = $parent. {Name + "\" + $path}

  $current is get-view $current. Parent

  } While ($current. Parent - no $null)

  @{N = "ProcessorType"; E = {(Get-VMHost-Name $_.)} Host). ProcessorType}}

  } | Export-Csv "C:\test\servers-vcenter-servers-vmpath-$date.csv" - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture

  the output current is like that.

  Name

  Cluster

  Host

  PowerState

  Folder path

  FolderId

  Manufacturer

  I just also want to collect the same information, even if the virtual machine is used as a model. Introduction 1 additional column is perhaps something like below. So we can clearly identify if it is a virtual machine or be used as a model? Thank you.

• ESXi 4.0 on Dell 1850 this host doesn't support VT you have configured the virtual machine to use an operating system 64-bit client.

  Hello

  , I have in 3 data centers Dell 1850, identical hardware configurations.  I installed Esxi 4.0 to the ISO from site Web de VMware dell custom help. He is successfully installed on all servers, without error at all. I've updated them all to the last generation, using VMware vSphere Client. I have a problem with one of the server when I want to use 64-bit machines, he realizes: this host does not support VT you have configured the virtual machine to use an operating system 64-bit client.  However, this host is not able to run 64-bit virtual machines or virtual computer has 64-bit support disabled. For more information, see http://www.vmware.com/info?id=152. I don't understand why I got this, servers are identical, versions of BIOS, firmware, and all updates are the same. There is also a warning in the configuration tab, on the State of health link.

  Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestion.

  Yes according to the description of CPU, it seems that they do not support intel VT:

• Generate the CSV file to the virtual machine by using get-stat statistics

  Hi all

  I put my VC for taking samples every 5 minutes for 3 days.

  I would create a PowerCLI script that I can then run on an ad hoc basis to connect to my VC and to get the details for ALL of the virtual machines that are managed by this CR and fill in a CSV (c:\foo.csv):

  • Name of the virtual machine

  • The ESX VM host is currently sitting

  • total number of virtual processors assigned to VM

  • total memory allocated to the VM

  • memory active average used by the virtual machine in the 3 days using samples of 5 minutes

  • average mhz CPU used by VM spent 3 days using samples of 5 minutes

  I have attached a sample file XLS of CSV output should look like.

  If anyone can give me a code to achieve or get on well on my way, I would appreciate it a lot.

  Kind regards

  Alex

  OK, so what you want is something like this then?

  Get-VM | Where {$_.PowerState -eq "PoweredOn"} |
   Select Name, Host, NumCpu, MemoryMB,
             @{N="Cpu.UsageMhz.Average";E={[Math]::Round((($_ | Get-Stat -Stat cpu.usagemhz.average -Start (Get-Date).AddHours(-72) -IntervalMins 5 -MaxSamples (12) | Measure-Object Value -Average).Average),2)}},
             @{N="Mem.Usage.Average";E={[Math]::Round((($_ | Get-Stat -Stat mem.usage.average -Start (Get-Date).AddHours(-72) -IntervalMins 5 -MaxSamples (12) | Measure-Object Value -Average).Average),2)}}
  

  I think that the issue that you have with the missing stat might be to do with your logging levels in VC, if these are not set correctly it will not save these stats for this period of time.

  What do you get if you do a simple:

  get-vm "SingleVM" | Get-Stat -Stat cpu.usagemhz.average
  

  If you found this information useful, please consider the allocation of points for correct or helpful.

• Cannot save the virtual machine in VMWare Server 2

  Hi all:

  I created a VM (12.1 OpenSuSE 32bits) in VMWare Workstation 7; then I copied it to a host VMWare Server 2.

  When I try to save the virtual machine via the web, the server fails (or at least interrupts the response from Web page), so I tried to save it via command line.

  After searching a bit I found this:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1006160

  The question is now that I can't find any vmware-cmd anywhere, and when I run vmware-vim-cmd I get the following error:

  vmh2: / data/vmachines/postgresql-box # vim - vmware - cmd solo/registervm /data/vmines/postgresql-box/postgresql-box.vmx
  Connection failed: vim.fault.NoPermission

  So I'm stuck... someone can help me?

  BTW: what is ESX, ESXi and what version of ESXi is included in VMWare Server 2?

  Thank you very much

  Luis

  I can't tell you exactly what are the causes of the problem. What I would try (a solution) is to create a new virtual machine in VMware Server with the same specifications as the original one, then copy the two files hard in the new virtual machine folder and edit the .vmx file for the new VM 'OpenSuSE - 12.1 - cl1 - 000001.vmdk' use as its virtual drive.

• Cannot ping the Virtual Machine by host

  Hi all,

  Please help, I use VMWare Workstation 6.5 and I have a physical operating system which is Windows XP SP2, I have a network card, but not connected to a physical switch, the IP address is 192.168.0.1. I installed a Virtual Machine using Microsoft Windows 2003 server as the operating system, promote as domain controller, install the DHCP, DNS service and assign an IP 192.168.0.2, no default gateway.

  My VMnet1 on physical operating system has an IP 192.168.204.1 and VMNet8 has an IP 192.168.126.1.

  The host, I cannot ping the 192.168.0.2 which is the IP address of the Virtual Machine. Even in the Virtual Machine, I can not ping 192.168.0.1 is the IP address of the host. From what I read, the physical and the virtual machine were connected with a virtual switch. Am I wrong?

  Any advice?

  Thanks in advance.

  They SEEM to be in different networks, you need search routing between them,... since they differnet networks...

  on the other

  they do host and the virtual machine on the same subnet / network for EXAMPLE: class C class network 192.168.200.0/24

• Import the virtual machine created with .exe files

  Hello

  I'm new in the world of the virtual machines, and I'm sorry if I'm going to say something stupid.

  I take a .net class and the teacher has a virtual machine (windows XP with software) ready to pose with 4 .exe files.

  I installed VMfusion but now I have no idea how / if I can import the teacher VM fusion.

  Is this possible? If this is not the case, what can I do else?

  Thank you very much

  Luca

  Find a Windows PC and run the exe files to extract the virtual machine, precompiled.  Just copy the folder of the entire virtual machine on your Mac, and then open/run the virtual machine using the merger.  VMware virtual machines are portable between products and host operating system - there should be no reason to "convert" or "import".

• Cannot resize the virtual disk, the virtual machine by using a «child» vmdk file

  Release: VMWare workstation 9

  SE host: Windows 7 64-bit

  Screenshots below.

  I want to resize my VM from 50 GB to 100 GB.

  It seems that VMware workstation 9 uses a child for my VM vmdk.  In my case, using its "Windows Server 2008 R2 x 64 - 000001.vmdk" for its virtual disk file.  The correct file should be "Windows Server 2008 R2 x64.vmdk", I think.

  There are currently no snapshots registered for this virtual machine, I see.

  The virtual machine works well as is, but I can't resize the disk without the VMWare gui, saying I should be perform the operation on the parent vmdk file.

  It seems that I do run a snapshot that is not really a snapshot?  How to merge with the older files - Sxx.vmdk to 0000xx - Sxxx.vmdk

  I also tried to use the command line tool to manually resize the vmdk parent, but I get permission "access denied" errors.

  Kind regards

  Matt

  -------------------------------------------

  Parameters of the HARD disk:

  

  Error:

  

  Files:

  

  He no snapshots are displayed in the Manager of snapshot with the check box 'Show AutoProtect snapshots' verified then the snapshot is an orphan and the best way I use normally to fix this if I want the contents of the snapshot of orphan to be among the basic disk is with tab of the virtual machine in VMware Workstation GUI closed I simply delete the .vmsd file and then open the virtual machine tab in the VMware Workstation GUI and cover and immediately remove a snapshot in the Snapshot Manager.  This will force the orphan snapshot to merge with the parent disk.  Then to clean I still remove the .vmsd file and orphans, .vmsn and .vmem file.

  Note: Before the procedure you have a good backup of the virtual machine in case you accidentally mess something up.

• VMware workstation and ReadyNAS to store the virtual machine

  Hello

  I just bought a Netgear Readynas box for home (Readnas RND2000 XRAID SIN) and it seems like a big box to keep a backup of my critical data and flow data and video music.

  Now that will take about 100 GB in space and I'll always have weird to play with 400 GB and it made me think if I host all my test VM I created using VMware workstation, for the moment I use a local computer, but its lack of disk space, I tried to put the virtual computer on an external drive and performance is ok on it as well but for me , it would be ideal if I could store them on the readynas and open them through VM workstation.

  Of course put it on a NAS box could be problematic, has anyone tried this on one of these boxes ReadyNAS? its probably not designed for this type of data and traffic, but if anyone has got, it works, I would be interested to hear comments.

  One of the potential problems in my view is I'll be going through a wireless router with a 4 port 100 mb go and see that as a problem, it replaces a gigabit switch would make a huge difference, or would it still slow?

  I would appreciate any advice on this.

  Thank you

  I'll guess that your external hard drives are USB.  In this case my answer is Firewire.  I run several of my virtual machines to external Firewire drives very good success.  While I ran a few virtual machines from USB, USB just isn't the sustained performance of Firewire.  This is the case on my Macbook Pro and my HP Pavilion (with built-in Firewire.)

  That said, even if I don't have any experience with the ReadyNAS, I use a Windows Server as NFS storage to an ESX Server.  The gigabit switch is almost a necessity.  Possible about 100 MB, but significantly better on gigabit.  In addition, the link of the ESX to Windows NFS is on a physically separate local network segment, so I don't have any problems with the network traffic slows down the virtual machine.  I have not tried Workstation with storage NFS, as I always got Firewire on all my machines so I kept for most of the virtual machine from the network.  YMMV, of course, but I suspect that you will have to keep the rest of the traffic network in mind if you can not create a separate network for NFS storage.  (for example: no internet surfing on the host while the virtual machine is running.)
