• How to configure the CD driver on the host for a virtual machine?

  After you create a virture machine and put the CD of driver on host, when powered on the vertual machine, may not start the drive form the CD only from NIC.

  How to configure the CD driver on the host for a virtual machine?

  Right-click on the virtual computer and go to edit settings. Click the Options tab and under the tip list, there should be Boot Options. Enter an amount of milliseconds to wait before your boot, so you can activate the CD-ROM. You can also activate the CD even if it boots to the NETWORK card option, and then reset the virtual machine. Get the focus of this virtual machine on the console session, and then press ctrl-alt-insert. Your CD-ROM will stay connected if you do not want to delay the startup process.

• How to access the virtual machines to different physical network?

  Hello

  I'm new to ESXi, can someone tell me how can I access virtual machines on the physical network existing in case I use different IP classes? Physics of the network by using the class C IPs and I assigned IPs to virtual machines of class A? If it is possible, then, what are the steps?

  In fact, I installed exchange 2010 VMs and also want to access the email accounts of physical network.

  Thank you.

  You mean there's no way in ESXi to configure the way so we can access the virtual machines to physical network? without third-party applications.

  Because it is impossible for the various networks IP connect without a router, you must have such a device. There is really no difference in that in a pure virtual or physical environment.

  You might think the ESXi host as a box with one or more servers (virtual) inside and one or more layer (virtual) two switches, just like a small server room. This means you will need to provide the same type of connectivity that you would have to a new server room with machines configured with addresses in a different IP network range.

• 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.

• How to move a virtual machine to another host ESXi running when HA vCenter is not operational... !

  Hey

  We have a few guests of ESXi running the 5.0.0 original version and some running the latest 5.1 U1 or whatever and the last vCenter to do this too.

  the vCenter server is one of the hosts running 5.0.0 and these do not allow HA either active correctly. The problem is a known bug, and you switch to maintenance mode and do funky stuff on the cli to make it work. However, I just want to spend all my virtual machines off the old 5.0.0. hosts and on the new, as the 'old' will be dismantled. I can do all virtual machines by just when close them down and moving off, but I won't be able to do this in with the vm off vCenter vCenter!

  can I turn off, connect directly to the ESXi host, remove it its inventory (this option exists even on the ESXi host live?) and save it to the new 5.1.0 host U1 and fire?

  vCenter complain or fail when she returns to the top?

  they share all the same warehouses of data, so I need to move the backend.

  thoughts?

  Thank you

  Roger

  HA and vMotion (i.e. live migration) are two different things and are independent of each other, so if vMotion is configured correctly, you should be able to migrate the virtual machines (including the vCenter Server VM) to another host.

• Script to stop and remove the list of virtual machines?

  Hello

  I would use powercli to stop and delete a list of virtual machines to a .csv file.  Although not quite clear on how to do it, can someone help out me?

  Hello, max08-

  Simply use this CSV as a list of names of virtual machine to stop and delete permanently, you can do something like:

  Import-Csv remove.csv | %{Stop-VM $_."Server Name" -Confirm:$false | Remove-VM -DeletePermanently -Confirm:$false -RunAsync}
  

  Note, it is non-interactive once you run - he doesn't want to stop the virtual machines or remove the disc, it does just.  So, make sure that the .csv file is only virtual computer names you really want to kill.

  How does do for you?

• How to create redundant virtual machines 2

  Hello

  How would I do so that my main VM is down for some reason, my other virtual computer could kick

  Thank you

  VRanger quest vReplicator/connection will do the job and is usually very effective when using change block tracking (CBT), allowing it to determine which blocks have changed since the last replication much more quickly, which is useful for the large VMs. replication jobs can be scheduled quite frequently, so that it can not give you time real synchronization between virtual machines He can become close enough

• 890124. how to move a virtual machine from one storage to another?

  Hello

  I decided to increase the RAM of a virtual machine and storage space in which stood the machine is less than 1 GB, it says that it is impossible to start the virtual machine. So I decided to move the virtual machine to secondary storage which had enough free space.

  How can I make vSphere Client aware of this change? How can I know what's happened? what I need is to boot the machine which is now moved to secondary storage. is this possible?

  THX

  After again moving data store, you must register this virtual machine to be visible in the list at left.

  1 browse the data store and open the corresponding VM folder

  2. Select the .vmx file and right-click.

  3. Select the option "Add to the inventory" and keep clicking Next until you have finished.

  4. now switch on the machine. He will ask a question that you copied or moved.

  5. Select I moved it.

  6. your machine is running.

  And you can see the virtual machine in the list after step 3 itself.

  Are you referring to the evolution of the virtual machines network portgroup of one to the other and in your case potentially issue on to another vSwitch? If so, take a look at this script: updateVMPortgroup.pl everything you do really makes a call to ReconfigVM_Task() and passing in a specification change and put to day the network in which you want to change

• Can I force it to use more vMemory and less vCPU in a virtual machine?

  Hello guys,.

  I have a virtual machine that uses vCPU more than a vMemory, when I select the Task Manager, I noticed that the memory is less than 5% and the cpu is greater than 50% when no application is running when the application run the vcpu go high and the vmem remains low. If there is any way to force it to use more vmemory and less vcpu in a virtual machine? can I use the list of resources for this?

  Thank you

  No, you can not force the VM to use more memory and less CPU. In fact you can force the VM to use less CPU by limiting the use of the processor, but it will affect performance. The only thing you can do with forcing more use - is to guarantee the physical resources for VM (reserve), but if the virtual machine has no more physical memory or CPU it don't use them.

• How to move the virtual machine from one cluster to another cluster

  How to move the virtual machine from one cluster to another cluster

  If two Clusters are in the same data center, you could do a 'live' migration or vMotion, if that's the case.   If the virtual machine is turned off, it may be migrated regardless of the data center.

• How to export the virtual machines in the top 10 of the questions?

  Hi all

  I'm looking for a way to script and export the TOP 10 virtual machines that had problems (cpu, memory, disks)

  and if there is a way to export each number to another worksheet or a different line.

  Thanks in advance!

  A slightly different approach, we use the group object to create an object for each virtual computer with the highest CPU usage.

  Of those that we have, then take the 10 with the highest value.

  $cpuWatermak = 90 $vms = Get-VM $metric = "cpu.usage.average" $start = (Get-Date).AddDays(-7)
  
  $stats = Get-Stat -Entity $vms -Stat $metric -Start $start -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue $stats | where {$_.Instance -eq "" -and $_.Value -ge $cpuWatermark} |Select @{N="VM";E={$_.Entity.Name}},Timestamp,Value |Group-Object VM | %{
    $_.Group | Sort-Object -Property Value -Descending | Select -First 1} |
  Sort-Object -Property Value -Descending |Select -First 10
  

  Note that we use only records where the Instance is empty, these are averages aggregated over all hearts.
