• I need a way to search search all the .vmx files

  I have a problem with vMotions in vCenter 6.0 I migrant to ESXi 5.5 with standard switches to a vCenter 6.0 with distributive switches.  For your information, here is the process.

  (1) unplug the host to vCEnter 5.5

  (2) add a host to vCenter 6.0

  (3) migration of ESXI 5.5 to 6.0 ESXi host with the installation of a standard switch.

  4) migrate to 6.0 with standard switch ESXi ESXi 6.0 with D-switch.

  Full migration.  The reason for the double jump is that esxi 55 can't change host and network to a switch-d so I have to get to ESXi 6.0 first.

  It all works very well, but for some reason, the .vmx file doesn't change not the port group. She is always present the standard switch. How ever VMS are on the rise and connected, the web client shows the port of switch-D group.  But when I do a vMotion it changes again in the d switch and the VM crashes.

  I have a case open with VMware to solve this, but I need to get the other VMS migrate without failure.

  The explanation may have been a bit long-winded, but here's what I need.

  I'm OK with PowerCLI but it is a bit outside my experience.  Can we create a script for watching all the ethernet ports in the .vmx for all virtual machines files see what port on their group name?

  Thanks for any help

  Tree!

  Try like this

  Get - VM | Select Name,

  @{N = "PG"; E = {(Get-NetworkAdapter-VM $_ |)} {(Sélectionnez-ExpandProperty NetworkName) - join ' |'}}

• How to start a virtual machine without vmx file

  Hello, I have a virtual machine that I want to start up using 10.0.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit workstation but I don't have multiple vmdk files and a file on me vmxf and apparently, that's all that is in the software. How do I run something like that?

  Hello
  You cannot start a virtual machine without a vmx file.
  If you do not have a vmx file - fly a.
  For example this one:
  -----------------------------------

  . Encoding = "windows-1252".

  config.version = '8 '.

  virtualHW.version = '8 '.

  scsi0. Present = 'TRUE '.

  scsi0.virtualDev = "free".

  memsize = "2048".

  scsi0:0. Present = 'false '.

  scsi0:0. FileName = "set-path-to-bootdisk-and-then-set-.present-to-true-to-activate".

  ethernet0. Present = 'TRUE '.

  ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000".

  displayName = "minimal-vm.

  guestOS = "windows7-64.

  virtualHW.productCompatibility = "hosted".

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

  That cuts into a file and store it as a *.vmx.
  Then launch the new VM with
  VMware /path-to-vmx/name.vmx or
  vmplayer /path-to-vmx/name.vmx
  Other users may also recommend to simply launch the user interface and follow the file > New menu...
  and then order the new virtual machine to the card by selecting your existing virtual disks.

• Vmx file corrupt

  I have a vmx file corrupted after update to OS X Yosemite. Can you please help? I've attached the vmware.log file. Thank you.

  It should work.

• Add a vmx file entry

  If I add an entry in a file such as Get - VM's vmx | New-AdvancedSetting - name "isolation.tools.diskShrink.disable" - value $true.

  This will require a reboot of the virtual machine to take effect?

  http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2014/03/a-kitten-is-also-harmed-every-time-you-edit-a-vmx-file-by-hand.html is a good read

  William has an interesting workaround solution using vMotion to cause the changes take effect without needing a reboot (have a read of the last paragraph)

• Script to change vmx file

  The following script provided by vmware in KB2092807 is stuck in a loop.  After connecting to the viserver, I'll run the following:

  ForEach ($vm in (Get - VM)) {}

  $vmv = get - VM $vm | Get-View

  $name = $vmv. Name

  $guestid = $vmv. Summary.Config.GuestId

  $state = $vmv. Summary.Runtime.PowerState

  $vmx = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec

  $vmx.extraConfig += new-Object VMware.Vim.OptionValue

  $vmx.extraConfig [0] .key = "monitor_control.enable_softResetClearTSC."

  $vmx.extraConfig [0] .value = 'TRUE '.

  If ($guestid - like ' windows8 * Guest ') {}

  ($vmv). ReconfigVM_Task ($vmx)

  If ($state - eq "receptor") {}

  $vmv. MigrateVM_Task ($null, $_.) Runtime.Host, 'highPriority', $null)

  }

  }

  }

  
  

  
  

  But the above script get into a loop and vcenter taskbar will show «Reconfigure the machine virtual vmname finished...» «and «Migrate machine virtual vmname finished...» "these messages will repeat until I have cancel the script.  Note that even if the message indicates the virtual computer to migrate the virtual machine is migrated nto.

  
  

  PowerCLI console displays the message "Type: value task: task-1711391" this message will keep scrolling by with the incrementing value by one each time until I have cancel the script. ""

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Bonus question, will of the vmx changes made with this script to apply to the virtual machine without turning off due to migration?

  
  

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  However, this script seems correct.

  You may display the name of the virtual machine to the screen inside the loop, what'd you give an idea if it's a loop on the same VM.

  Advanced settings can be applied even if a virtual machine is running.

  The vMotion creates a new VMX file, which is recharged and therefore changes must be picked up.

  See William post called a kitten is also bad, whenever you change a VMX by hand file

• Question about the .vmx file created on ESXi

  I'm trying to automate the creation of a virtual machine and take a snapshot. I use the vSphere SDK Perl.

  The problem I faced is if I create a virtual machine called TestVM, the .vmx file created on the ESXi is TestVM_1.vmx instead of TestVM.vmx due to which my snapshot creation fails.

  I faced the same problem, if I manually create the virtual computer. If there is no other computer virtual with the same name.

  A restart of the server ESXi fixed the problem.

• Not able to download vmx files

  Dear team,

  I am not able to download the .vmx for some receiving VMs and other virtual machines, I get to download.

  all versions of hardware vms are 9

  I noticed that if a vmx file icon look like this then I m able to download the vmx file

  

  and if a vmx file looks like this then it throws an error

  

  Need your help to fix the reported problem.

  concerning

  Mr. VMware

  The virtual machine is stored in a shared memory? If so, The ESXi host holds a lock to the vmx file when the virtual machine is powered, then try to download the file from another host ESX\ESXi leads to failure. A likely solution is to use the datastore browser in vSphere Client connected directly to the host of ESX\ESXi, on which the virtual machine is running.

  Thank you

• .vmx file did not move after svmotion

  Hello

  I've been svmotion'ing a MSCS VM with RDM today (the RDM migrated separately from the side SAN) and after the migration, I figured out that the virtual machine installs with only the vmdk files. .Vmx files, log files, and other necessary files have been left out in the source data store. I moved two or three other virtual machines with RDM a similar setup and they moved very well. The only difference was this virtual machine is, he had an ISO mounted and connected. Would it have caused a problem?

  How move the .vmx and other files now? The must close the virtual machine and move the files manually using browser data store?

  Rahul-

  That's my understanding of it, if you run 5.X, you can migrate online and use the advanced option.

  But here's another good article migration RDM and a question for users of RDM. | VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs this article goes into details migration scenarios and outcomes that result.

  It is simple process, as you have done with other virtual machines, just make sure that nothing is attached to the virtual machine, although this should not affect svmotion.  Start with the svmotion to datasore another standard, if the configuration files are still not migrated, then use the Advanced setting to verify the migration of the configuration files , simply use the advanced option.

• Is it possible to recovery a VMX file VDMK file?

  Hello

  I virtualized old physical machine to a classic virtual machine with 9 Workstation.

  Unfortunately, I lost the vmx file... And my old physical machine is dead

  The only have the .vdmk file (from 70 gigabytes).

  Is it possible to recover my machine (important in windows conserev of this machine).

  Thank you!

  Before you do anything make a backup of the. VMDK file.

  Create a new virtual machine with the specifications of the physical machine or virtual machine that has been deleted. When you come to storage, select use existing disc. See if the server starts.

• .vmx file is not a valid virtual machine configuration file

  Hi, as the title says I have this error when you open the virtual machine. is there a simple way to solve?

  .vmx file is empty, display of 0 KB.

  I have included all the log files in the folder.

  I hope that it is necessary to operate the machine, as it is currently used for work.

  Thank you

  The attached file "Windows_XP_Home_Edition.vmx.zip" contains a new "Windows XP Home Edition.vmx" file created from the supplied vmware.log file.

  With VMware Player closed, unzip the file (double click on) the downloaded "Windows_XP_Home_Edition.vmx.zip" joint and replace the file "Windows XP Home Edition.vmx" original by one here.

• How to get VM to the .vmx file path when you have the VM name?

  Hi all

  I use the latest version of VIX API to power on virtual machines on an ESX Server. I work with c# in Visual Studio 2012 and currently I have power on the virtual machine by using the following code:

  VMWareVirtualMachine virtualClientMachine = host. Open (vmMachinePath, 2100);

  While this works, I think it is better to be able to turn on the virtual machine when you know the name of the virtual machine and not the path. So, how can I get the path to the VM to the vmx file when I know the name of the virtual machine? For example, if my VM on the ESX Server is called WIN7GERMAN, how I can get the path and pass this to the host. Opening function?

  Thanks for any help or code.

  John

  VM names are not unique, that's why it is not supported.

  You can use VixHost_FindItems() and locate the VIX_PROPERTY_FOUND_ITEM_NAME property without papers and use the associated VIX_PROPERTY_FOUND_ITEM_LOCATION to get the value to pass to VixHost_OpenVM().  You have to deal with duplicate however names
