• Change tracking (CTK) block is supported for this virtual machine, but was refused. This will increase the CPU proxy and consumption of IOP.

  I have problems with a client of VMware image-level in an EMC Avamar backup.  So far, we have not been able to find information about this message in the backup log file.  It is originally the backup to take a very long period of time (on average 10-11 hours).

  2014-02-28 14:20:57 avvcbimage < 14681 > Info: change tracking (CTK) block is supported for this virtual machine, but was refused. This will increase the CPU proxy and consumption of IOP.

  We cannot determine why CBT is "denied".  Has anyone here run across this issue before or seen any other type of backup VMware image have denied CBT?

  Everything I checked watch that CBT is successfully activated since the file vmx for the customer to the Avamar config.

  ESXi host is Enterprise Plus 4.1.0 260247

  After spending some time on this issue, the ultimate resolution withdrew the Avamar vm and then add it again.  After that, CBT began to work properly.  It seems that there is a parameter that has been 'stuck' pertaining to this virtual machine that wasn't behaving properly.

• Catch22, how to change the settings for VirtualCenter, running as a virtual machine

  I'm running as a virtual machine under ESX 3.5 VirtualCenter. I want to change the setting of this virtual machine, but of course, the only way to change many parameters of a virtual computer is to stop the guest OS. I just changed the type of NIC on all my virtual machines, except VirtualCenter, using this procedure:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1007195

  I want to change the adapter for VirtualCenter to improve vmxnet as well. How to work around the Catch22 needing VC running to change virtual machines but requiring judgment VC to edit it?

  Laughing out loud

  Shut down the virtual computer. Open the VI Client and instead of the IP address / hostname of the VC Server enter the IP address / hostname of the ESX host. You must use an ESX account for it! If in doubt try then the VM VC is still under way.

• Changing the settings of Cluster SWAP without the virtual machine downtime

  Hi all

  My question refers to the vSphere 5.0 version.

  I need to change the settings of my VMware Cluster swap file.

  It is set to "store the swap file in the data specified by the host store.

  I want to change it to "store the file in the same directory as the virtual machine.

  Can I do this without the VM downtime?

  Kind regards

  Martin

  You can change the setting in the cluster without affecting your running virtual machines, but virtual machines will not use this new setting until they have been rolled power.

• How can change the end of thick disk when a virtual machine has been placed on the disk?

  After you have moved the virtual computer to another stage, chose the thin disk bad. Now, the virtual machine cannot start. the error message says that it must be thick for clustering. So, I need to change it back if possible. Then I moved it back and thick chosed. But, after that, I got a same error. So, after you move, the atatuse disk was not be changed. Is it a way not both directions? How can change the staus thin to thick?

  Thank you!

  George

  Hello George,.

  You can also convert virtual disks in eagerzeroedthick from the command line.

  vmkfstools-j VMname.vmdk allows to convert a thin disk in eagerzeroedthick

  vmkfstools k VMname.vmdk that will do it on a thick disk

  It can also work for a thin disk, click with the right button on the vmdk in browser data store, and then click 'inflate '.

• Script to change the name of the file to the virtual machine and its associated files

  Hello

  I'm looking for a script to change the name of the virtual machine in virtual center and also change it has associated file names in the data store to match file name of virtual machine. But the vmdk file will contain a descriptor which maps the - flat.vmdk file. So not sure that we can achieve this through a script.

  Thanks in advance!

  Not really as much as I know.

  The advantage of the svMotion is renamed it the files (.) VMX, VMDK,...) For you.

  The only alternative would be the command line. See Duncan Howto: renaming a virtual computer.

  With the help of the plink.exe tool which could possibly be scripted.

• How can I change the timeout for pressing escape on a virtual machine?

  Almost all of my work with Fusion requires changing startup arrested or by selecting a specific boot device from time to time. At most, merge gives 1 second and at least something close to zero. The start screen appears sometimes to be dried in total.

  Is it possible to change the timeout?

  Please, I beg you. It's driving me crazy because I have to wait for Windows has finished starting, and then restart so I will not have a system of "unclean" files It took me 12 minutes earlier start on another device.

  On a related note, the current behavior of escape by selecting the "Boot Device" Menu and rejecting so it's kind of braindead. No other bootstrapper or bios for this I know. If I could just hold down the escape key, this problem wouldn't be too bad.

  Thank you.

• Blueprint by failing to deploy, after that I assigned a workflow of vco

  My catlog / bluprint worked very well. I then ran the workflow VCO "assign a worfkflow of change of State of a plan Director.." and now, he is unable to deploy with no error message.

  Are there log files to understand the question?

  If you look at your plan, which corresponds to the value of value for ExternalWFStubs.BuildingMachine?  You can check the id matches that of the workflow to run?  For some reason that I find myself often forget to define the workflow, I want to run in the 3rd stage of the workflow 'assign a change of State of a master plan and its virtual machines.  The default value is the sample workflow model that doesn't really matter.  Anyway check this value indeed match the workflow that you are trying to run.

• Record an action and assign a shortcut key F1 (Photoshop CC 2015)

  I want to record a very simple action and assign a shortcut key F1.

  I record the action and choose F1, but it does not work.

  The action works if I play but not if I press the F1 key.

  It going to be fixed?

  I use the CC 2015 (trial!) version and it is not a good sign when I think to buy it.

  Its been a while I have used a Mac, but I'm pretty sure that the BONE protects the function keys. To override the F1 on a Mac, you must hold down the "fn" key and press F1, which I think then behaves like a normal F1 press. Try to start your action by pressing fn - F1.

  It might easier to choose a shortcut different keyboard for your action.

• PowerCLI to change vm and its file names

  Hi all

  For 100 VMS, I need to change the inventory of vm name and its file names (vmx, vmdk, etc.) to another name.

  Could you please help to create a script that retrieves the entries to a file (existing name and new name for it) and it changes automatically.

  The easiest way is to rename the DisplayName property of the virtual machine with Set-VM.

  Then do a svMotion, which will rename all of the files for the DisplayName property.

  But, you will need space for moving VMs around, and a svMotion could take some time to complete.

  That's what I meant when I asked if you could use svMotion.

• Change of virtual machines managed by SRM for VR in an event of DR

  Hello

  I have a virtual machine that is being replicated using replication vSphere + I configured a recovery SRM for virtual machine plan is managed by SRM.

  

  In a DR situation:

  • To recover a virtual machine that is managed by VR everything I have to do is to connect to vCenter to your web site of DR via vSphere client, then click on recover.
  • To recover a virtual machine that is managed by MRS. all you need is to get a full vsphere to your DR site that has the plugin SRM installed before you can retrieve customer.

  My question:

  Suffice it to say at an event of DR MRS on the DR site was dismantled (so I couldn't recover virtual machines managed by SRM) but I can connect to the Web from vSphere client and retrieve virtual machine managed by VR, is it possible to manually change the virtual machines managed by SRM, so they are managed by new RV?

  See you soon

  Hello

  There are internal interface that allows you to do. Please contact VMware support team.

  Go get the current "recovered by" value:

  https://vrms_address:8043 / mob /? me = Recovery Manager & method = HmsRecoveryManagerGetGroupsRecoverySolution & vmodl = 1

  To reset the value "recovered by" RV:

  https://vrms_address:8043 / mob /? me = Recovery Manager & method = HmsRecoveryManagerSetGroupsRecoverySolution & vmodl = 1

  Call the method after replacing ME with the GID... replication value and clear the value (empty string) for the recoveredBy property.

  To retrieve the value, GID-... - look at the names of the replica files in target or check data warehouses the table GroupEntity in DB VRMS. To get prompt SQL embedded DB VRMS - use

  / opt/VMware/vpostgres/Current/bin/psql vrmsdb - U

  and

  \Q to quit smoking

  Please note that the foregoing is not officially supported and may change with the different versions of the VR.

  Kind regards

• How can I assign a static ip for each virtual machine

  I have the NIC 2 and 3 vm on my vm server.

  I did find documentation how to assign an ip for each virtual computer fix.

  pleas help me... but probably easy...

  Assuming you have the management and the virtual machines on the same network, attach both rising/NIC bindings to the vSwitch0, configure the management network and tie each VM to the port "VM Network" group. As DSTAVERT mentioned, the IP of the virtual machine configuration is done in the VM themselves, as if they were physical systems.

  sample:

  

  If you have different subnets for the management and the virtual machines, you must either create multiple vSwitches or work with the VLAN.

• Do we not have to change the settings for the virtual machine once moved from 2.5 ESX to vSphere 4.1?

  Hi guys,.

  I just wanted to check, once the virtual machines are migrated from ESX 2.5, 2.5 Vcenter to ESX 4.1, Vcenter 4.1 of the NFS datastore on the iSCSI data store.

  Do I have to make changes to the vm settings?

  To use the features to enhance available with ESX 4.1 what I need to change the virtual disk to logical Bus to LSI logic? What is recommended or is not serious?

  It will be very useful for me to know if there is any need for changes to be made other than on the virtual machine upgrade vmware tools.

  Thank you

  You try to run ESX 2.5 VM on ESX4.1, if that's the case then ESX 2.5 VM are not supported on ESX 4.1

  If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'useful '. Thank you!!! Best regards, Mohammad Wasim

• assign a real drive to a virtual machine

  Hello, I was reading a bit on ESXi and is still not quite clear to me if it is possible to assign exclusive access to a hard drive selector physical host to a virtual machine.

  When I add a new HD to a virtual machine there is an option (number 3) to use the raw map (e.g. SAN) but this option is grayed out.

  In short: for a virtual computer only I want files to be visible by an another operating system (ext2/3), when I move the HD to another system rather than having hard files

  Is this possible?

  Help you enjoy

  Thank you!

  RS232

  The last string is the serial number of each disc, a research on the case of HD.

  When you see: 1: 2: 3, you have a disc with several partition.

• What exactly happens when you change the name of the computer, and it asks you to restart?

  What exactly happens when you change the name of the computer, and it asks you to restart - relating to the registration and identification of network?  Specifically when a computer isn't yet in one area but is still in a working group.  Y at - it show any PC by informing other computers it's name has changed?

  Computers into working groups are actively seeking each other, so if you rename a computer, it will not be shown anything. The restart is to erase the name of origin since the system cache, he will think that it's always the old name until the reboot takes place. Work computers is simply 'shake hands' with each other whenever they need to communicate.

  Computers that are part of a domain are created a 'computer' account that is assigned a random password that changes every 30 days by default automatically. These computer accounts work almost identical to an Active Directory user account, which means that they are not proactive they simply cached credentials with their permissions to provide if / when requested by heritage in the environment.
  Users and computers Active Directory accounts are stored in the NTDS. SAID the database, the backbone of an AD environment. When a computer name changes in one area, it takes the PC restarted simply for the PC. The change of name in Active Directory will replicate throughout the environment based on the settings of replication of this environment.
  I'm too simplify all this, but the general concept is there.
