VMware View 4.5 - number of virtual machines deployment through Virtual Center

• The installation of VMWare View Server program

  Hello

  I have a solution of ESXi, vSphere 5 where I host all my virtual servers with a virtual vCenter Management Standard.  I'm working on that I need for a configuration of VMWare View and I was hoping someone here could help me.

  I have 12 physical blades to host my VMWare View solution (according to the calculations of number of jobs) and I have VMWare View Bundle licenses.

  Ive been reading through the notes and he says that this set comes with an edition of vCenter.

  A few questions:

  My existing vCenter instance should be used to manage the VMWare View host or do I need to install a separate instance of vCenter VMWare View and use the license in the bundle?

  I guess I should install ESXi instances in the beam that will allow me to supply only desktop computers?

  If I have servers connection and composer, should they be hosted in Clusters VMWare View or the cluster of servers existing vsphere 5?

  If this is the case, I also have a question about the network configuration.  When I install the ESXi for VMWare View, will I still have a requirement for a management console, the vmkernel, and the 'Front End' (for users IP address) vnic to the vswitch?

  Another question about the round rbin DNS.  I try to also install Connection 2 and 2 servers of composer whose load is balanced.  Anyone has any info on setting up of Robin DNS?

  Thank you very much

  We use a 6 with network storage based physical NETWORK adapter configuration.

  You will have a default port for management.  vMotion is split to its own IP address, and these two vmkernel ports are on the same vSwitch, with natachasery used by one and waiting for the other.

  iSCSI must be separated from its own vSwitch and pair of NICs as well supported by linked vmkernel ports for redundancy and load balancing.

  This leaves at least another vSwitch and pair of natachasery to the actual traffic of vm.

• Discover the virtual machine with VMware View 4.5.  "That underlies the virtual machine is not available.

  I have installed the following to an ESX 4.1 server:

  -VMware View connection server (Server 2008 R2 Ent)

  -V - Center (Server 2003 Std)

  Install the VMware Client with Local Mode 4.5 to a laptop

  Installed VMware Agent to a Windows XP and Win7 is a guest vm on the ESX Server.

  I can connet with success both of these machines.

  When I try to extract either of these machines, I get the error message after 2% saying, "underlying this desktop virtual machine is unavailable.

  

  Can someone tell what to do to solve this problem?  I can't find anything so far for this error.

  Thank you

• Restrict the movement of files to physical machine to the Virtual Office (vmware view)

  Hi all

  I have a question, I am using virtual desktop with vmware view. I'm on a physical machine using this machine that I log on to the virtual machine using office remotely. (vmware view). My question is that I don't want the users of the physical machine to copy and paste the files of the virtual machine and vice versa.

  When I open virtual desktop, go to my computer, I see drive c (virtual machine disk) and then share the disks of the physical machine. When I click on them, they open and then I am able to copy all files in this shared folder on the virtual desktop. I want to restrict any idea how could I go about this. Help, please.

  Arun N

  Using RDP?

  In this case, you can use GPO (virtual desktop) to disable drive sharing.

• VMware View - Virtual Office registry key based offline IP address of the client?

  Hi VMware Experts-

  I try on VMware View 5, but I'm stumped. Our basic used by the personnel application is accessible via Citrix ICA. I want to start the Citrix ICA application inside the view. This application is one that rent us the 3rd party (several States away) and the method used to connect to it is not editable. The application launches successfully, but a problem.

  When we launch the Citrix ICA connection a registry key is read from the local computer (in my test, it is the virtual office). It is a key, we added that contains the IP address of the machine. The IP address of the key is used by the application accessed through Citrix ICA to assign the user to a number of specific printers.
  
  My question is: after user authentication, how can I have the Desktop read view IP local of the customer who connects, then put this IP address as the registry key in the virtual office? This should happen during each connection, because users are not in the same job every day. I use Windows 7 Pro 64 bits for virtual offices.

  Thank you!

  The customer who connects IP are located under the key of HKU\Volatile environment.    You can use this to fill in everything you need.

• Report on the number of virtual machines by datastore

  Hello

  I use vFoglight 6.6.2. I try to have a report generated every week that contains the number of virtual machines running in the data store. But I don't know how to create a table of edge/report for these details.

  request for expert assistance.

  The following query gives you so all virtual machines on the specified data store

  Using the following mandatory input parameters:

  {VMWDatastore}: type foglight - 5:VMWDatastore

  Select objects of type Machine virtual VMware in parameter {VMWDatastore}

  root of {VMWDatastore} / virtualCenter/virtualMachineCollection/virtualMachines

  where:

  ({VMWDatastore} to /datastores and)

  (/ vmState/current/value is equal to "receiving")

  Like query UI setup will allow you to use it as a dashboard of entry.

  Try around with the request and let me know if this help.

  Best regards

• Number of virtual machines per server

  This number varies greatly with the type of workload and of (among other variables) network connectivity, but what would you say is a common number of virtual machines running on a particular server (NIC10 G ) platform? 10? 20? 40? The number of sockets/cores on this server?

  Any contribution is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hey Ex,.

  This issue of $ 1 million has been requested several times before.  The answer is simple - there is no definitive answer.  There are so many variables that contribute to the number of virtual machines, you can run on a server:

  -number of Sockets
  -Core per socket

  -CPU speed

  -Density memory

  -Bandwidth allocated by host

  -Storage connectivity & bandwidth

  -Attributes VM & function of workload (amount of memory, CPU & disk by virtual machine)

  Although you can probably squeeze a lot more virtual machines per server with densities increased memory & CPU power, also increases your default domain name.  HA may be able to 'recover' virtual machines on a failed host, but how virtual machines are you willing to lose only once?  When sizing of your hosts, also the failover capabilities take into account.  Each of your cluster hosts should be able to tolerate the failure of at LEAST one host and meet all the requirements of memory & processor of the additional virtual machines now spread over the remaining hosts in the cluster.  This is why administrators does not often grow over 60% of the capacity of their hosts.  VMware uses a calculation of size "slot" to ensure you have adequate to your cluster failover capacity.

  As typical, I see regularly around the mark of 20 VM per server on a typical 2-socket server with 96 GB of memory and dual 10 G uplinks.  It is also good to think that most software licenses (VMware, Nexus 1000v etc.) is based on the counts of socket, and since the memory is going to be your first argument point - servers that can support large amounts of memory are usually an ideal choice.  B250 is perfectly placed to virtual workloads like this, while the B230 is a little firecracker with a bit more CPU power under its hood so you need.

  As vague as I was, I hope this starts your thought process

  Kind regards

• Maximum number of virtual machines by free ESXi hypervisor?

  Community of VMware,

  I just installed the free 5.5 ESXi hypervisor and I wonder if the same virtual machine limits apply to the stand-alone scenario as vCenter? Can I run actually 512 VMs? What, if any, is the maximum number of virtual machines, I can run on a free version of ESXi?

  From 5.5 ESXi limits most have been removed, but only a limit of 8 vCPU per VM remains. So if I'm wrong, the VM 512 mentioned for each host (see http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere5/r55/vsphere-55-configuration-maximums.pdf) affect the free hypervisor.

• While trying to see Planner installation and operation, the test in local mode, the EXECUTION fails with message "Waiting for the number of virtual machines to register.

  While trying to see installation and operation Planner, the test in local mode with only 1 VM the EXECUTION fails with message "Waiting for the number of virtual machines to register.

  There may be a lot of problems in the desktop VM. Agent service see Planner is not running in VM Office. You can check in the event viewer to see what kind of error occurs. The most usual error missing file IP.txt c; drive or harness IP in the IP.txt produce if there is.

• Number of Virtual Machines in a host

  Dear all,

  I am fairly new with vmware.  As a newbe, I have a lot of request for information on the virtual machine.  As a first step, I have a basic question:

  How we calculate the number of virtual machines that can be installed safely on a host computer.

  For example,.

  The host is with below configuration

  HP DL380 G7, E5645, (6core, 2.4 GHz, 12 MB L3, 80W)

  Dual processor

  48 GB of memory

  8 x 300 GB hard drive

  STD config

  For example, in the configuration above, how WIN2008R2, 8 GB servers can be loaded.

  Is it as 48 / 8 = 6 Machines?

  If so, what is the involvement of CPU cores?

  Your descriptive answer is much appreciated...

  Thanks in advance...

  Welcome to the community,

  This depends on the VM workload. With the material you mention I guess the limiting factor will be the RAM and not the CPU. What is important for this host is have you FBWC attached to the RAID controller to make it work in writeback mode!

  A note more: you will need a licensed version to run ESXi 5.x on this host. The free hypervisor does support up to 32 GB of physical memory.

• How do I 'batch' closing of a large number of virtual machines on a single order?

  We have performance issues with some programs that a large number of machines virtual shutdown.  Steve Jin here mentions on his blog that there is a number of API and batch processing.  I can't find on the subject if and would just like to send a command to stop, a large number of virtual machines.  Multi-threading applications for judgment has not been effective or possible.

  If someone could point me to the right direction, I would be grateful.   Thank you!

  Sean Clark - vExpert 2009, VCPX3 - http://twitter.com/vseanclark - http://seanclark.us - http://vmunderground.com

  Hey Sean,

  I'm not familiar with batch API too many orders, but I'm guessing that you're referring to:

  Turning the power on

  • Single - PowerOnVM_Task

  • Multi - PowerOnMultiVM_Task

  Power off

  • Single - PowerOffVM_Task

  • Multi - as far as I know, no

  As you probably know, there are a lot of API command to power on a set of virtual machines, but there is not one to turn off. It maybe an internal/private API to power off the coast, but I have not heard/seen it.

  If your question is around Steve Jin VI Java API, maybe hit him up on top of this blog, you probably a more precise answer and if this isn't the case, I think he'll be able to help directly as well.

• 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.

• XP Service Pack 3 VDI model - deployment use and Windows XP Service Pack 2 deployment tools?  VMWare View, virtual center of customization specification Manager.

  I'm setting up a VMWare View deployment and I need to configure Performance Manager in Virtual Center Customization Tools.  Use the deployment tools XP Service Pack 2 for my model pack 3 XP service or do I have to download SP 3 tools?  Documentation on the internet points to SP 2 tools, but I can't find a definitive answer for XP SP 3 machines.

  I don't think anything changed in Sysprep between XP SP2 and SP3 of XP.  I use Sysprep in an XP SP2 CD deploy.cab file to customize my XP SP3 image with no problems.  You should be able to use Sysprep tools on the CD for SP2 for your model.
