• Linked Clone with vSphere api and VIClient 2.5

  I'm trying to create Clone bound using vSphere Web services api (c#) and it always end like full clone.

  My question is, is it possible to create Linked clone using vSphere api with VIClient 2.5.

  I know that vShpere supports version 2.5 VIClient. vShpere has the ability to create Linked clone.

  I try to know why it does not create Linked clone from my environment.

  I am ready to explain if you need more details.

  Thank you.

  Yes, you can vMotion Linked Clones... sVmotion may work, but I have not tested, probably not a good idea to move them.

• Possibility of setting up new vSphere 4 and pass the ESX 3.5 hosts?

  The upgrade path makes me nervous (am I too paranoid?).

  In any case, I have enough material and storage SAN to configure a new vSphere environment.

  Is it possible to install a new enviornemnt and separate vSphere 4 and then migrate the 3.5 environment hosts? The doc has always start with VC upgrade to version 4 and be careful not to break stuff...

  I actually finished a project a few days ago in this respect. I deleted the machine virtual old inventory, moved with the former VM of the LUN to the storage for the new environment group and added to the inventory again. Of course, if you do not use the same storage, it will be more in depth, but it certainly can be done. The plan was to do what weinstein said in his post, regarding the old host to the new Victoria Cross add, but I move the first LUN and had to finish like I did. It went well and I don't have problems with the virtual machine again.

  VMware KB: Supported operating systems hosts for vSphere Client (Windows) installation

• VSphere API is available in VMware vSphere Essentials Kit?

  Hello

  TL; DR: I would like to know if the vSphere API is available in VMware vSphere Essentials Kit.

  We evaluated VMware vSphere to build an environment very small test & dev to work. Since vSphere worked well during our assessment, we will buy vSphere licenses.

  We only need to operate a single ESXi host and we don't much care our virtual machines because they are used for testing only. Thus, we don't need features such as vMotion.

  However, take us pictures and we depend on the vSphere API, because we use pyVmomi to administer our virtual machines.

  Because we only run an ESXi host, need for API vSphere vCenter but did not need features such as vMotion, I think that the Kit Essentials fits our needs. But I'm not sure it provides the vSphere API. If anyone can confirm?

  Kind regards

  Yes, vSphere API are available in the Essentials kit.

  Please see KB

• vSphere replication and RDM

  Hello

  I have a site that I put in place which has Windows 2012 R2 invited with RDM in physical compatibility mode.  When I go through the wizard of replication vSphere for these servers I can configure replication for the comments and as expected I can not set up for the RDM (which is fine, I have those covered by the SRA) but on the last stage it errors with the following:

  Configure a virtual machine for replication

  Is it not possible to ignore the RDM or is not my problem?

  Thank you

  Physical RDM mode is not supported by vSphere replication and there is a known issue, you cannot configure replication for VM with RDM physical mode even if you exclude this record of replication.

  Check the release notes: VMware vSphere replication 5.5.1 Release Notes

  Cannot configure a virtual machine with disc RDM in physical mode even if the disk is excluded from replication.

  If you configure a replication of a virtual machine with the physical mode, the following error message may appear:

  VRM Server generic error. Check the documentation for any troubleshooting information. The detailed exception is: HMS can not set disk UUID for disks of VM : MoRef: type = VirtualMachine, value = , serverGuid = null'.
  

  Workaround: No.

• feature of vSphere API licensed on vSphere Essentials kit

• Question so that the migration of the VM using the vSphere API

  Hello

  I am having some problems during the migration of a virtual machine using vSphere SDK.

  I have install the vSphere environment as there are two hosts esxi installed on different physical machines with multiple virtual machines above them.

  Now I want to migrate one say the virtual macines VM1 fron host1 to host2. I did it via vCenter uses the vSphere client and it worked fine. Now, I have to perform the same task using the vSphere API. For this I use the template of "VMotion" located in the com/vmware/vm directory. I run the command as follows:

  targethost $ run.bat url username password, shows targetpool

  I'm not sure of the targetpool argument and I need advice on what I need to specify a name of pool of resources here. Acorrding to:

  http://www.VMware.com/support/developer/VC-SDK/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/Vim.virtualmachine.html#migrate

  If the pool parameter remains disabled, current pool of the virtual machine is used as target the pool. I tried specifying the pool of resources such as:

  [- targetpool]

  but it gives the error:

  Error: List of resources target not found.

  Looking forward to all the advice. Thank you.

  Even if you do not have resource pools, it is actually a 'root' list of resources"which will be still exists. Try to specify 'Resources' as the name of the targetpool and allow you to migrate your VM.

• vSphere 5 and local IIS Web server

  Hi all

  Sorry for my English, I'm Italian and I'm new to this community, but I have a problem with my vsphere 5.

  I created a host with vsphere 5, inside of this host, I have 1 Small Business Server 2011 Microsoft VM and 2 virtual machines Windows 7 Professional.

  Infrastructure is:

  1 Fritzbox router attached to an hp proliant server.

  Inside of the server I have 5 and within esx esx vmware, I have 3 virtual machines

  Now, I have installed a local Web server in 1 virtual machine with Windows 7 Professional and IIS 7

  I have a static IP and I have configured the router to forward traffic from the static ip address to my internal LAN to a specific IP (the ip of my local web server)

  I open in my router port 80 for web traffic and open port 80 also in my firewall windows 7, but when I try to join my vm from the outside, the local web server virtual machine does not work. Is there any configuration, I need firewall configuration ESX?

  Thanks a lot for the replies

  Valentina Bombelli

  To the internet:

  Telnet 80 using a Windows command prompt. It seems that you do not specify a port 80, as it is said "... port 23, failed connection.

• Mix of ESX 3.5 and VMware ESX in the same cluster

  Hello

  I'm currently involved in ESX 3.5 Migrating virtual machines to a new vSphere environment.  All ESX 3.5 hosts running on obsolete kit and will be decomm had at the end of the project.  All hosts are managed by the same server vCenter.

  The only problem is, I have to add an additional ESX4 server, but there is not enough available physical switch ports.  I have decomm one ESX3.5 servers in order to free ports, but they run at 2 knots, and I will lose redundancy if a hardware problem arises.

  My proposed Solution: -.

  I think decomming ESX3.5 host 1 and move it to the new vSphere cluster.  The type of brand/model/CPU is different between the old and the new servers and I am not concerned by VMs DRS'ing between 2 environments, however, I understand that I have would be protected by HA if anything disastrous happened.  All hosts are connected to the same storage.

  You don't see any problem with that?

  You can have a mixed cluster, but this must be managed by vCenter 4.x.

  And you also need a license for the former hosts of 3.x server.

  HA will work.

  If the CPU is compatible VCA, then as VMotion, DRS, VCA will work.

• Issue of Python API and profile of Stimulus

  Hello

  I am using IronPython with Visual Studio 2010 to create automated tests of a PXI system I have. Most of my knowledge API (and Python) so far has been coming to this thread of Iron Python . Although very useful. I am not able to get the parts of profile of Stimulus work. I have command over the line, forcing the acquisition of basic data output voltage, but I was hoping that use the far more high-level control provide by VeriStand.

  My methodology so far has been 1) create a profile of Stimulus in the Editor (something simple like a shifted sine wave) 2) I do not specify a specific channel in the profile (because I want to use the same waveform on several channels, in order) 3) record 4) Point the Python script to the sinewave.nivstest of the file Run 5). Is there something wrong with this process?

  The problem is that 'running' is really doing nothing. I'll have to study this more within my reach, but the result is something (it begins almost at work!) but for something that should be hard about 20 seconds, it ends immediately after the first 'blip '.

  I use Iron Python 2.7, VS 2010 Shell. If it's important for some reason, I use a custom material OR and card FPGA DAQ. And I would say force SetChannelValue (X) works for all outputs.

  Thank you very much!

  It's probably because you're playing a stimulus that has no mapping. The same thing happens if you specify a mapping in the profile?

  Unfortunately, there is no API in NI VeriStand in 2010 to change the mapping. So that's all that you specify when you create with the GUI. However, the nivstest file is actually just XML so that you can use any XML parsing and API for editing to change the mapping. If you don't want to use an API for XML editing, you can try to use the technique in the VI posted on this thread to change the mapping.

• Download pots API and source

  Is there a place to download the API and source of pots for the lib of RIM? I find the API behind online a lot, and it would be good to have a source JAR to work in my IDE.

  The BlackBerry development environment is not a platform open source so RIM does not publish the source for what in the net_rim_api.jar.  They include that jar in the jde/lib directory, so you can compile against this in your IDE.  They also include the javadocs in the jde under docs/api directory download (so late on, you mean slow access on the net).
