• Start the virtual machine and wait for WF, does not connect to the computer virtual for Vds (Windows 2008 R2)

  Hello

  See a strange problem with only a Windows 2008 R2 model. When you use the built-in function "Start VM and wait" workflow to start a virtual machine (after conversion from a template either manually, or through workflow) NIC of the virtual machine (I tried VMXNET3 and e1000 times) does not connect to the problem. Vds can be replicated in a different VCenter, so spreading the vds. I also created several models of Windows 2008 r2 and all have this problem.

  If the model is converted and started outside VRO, it gets an IP from and is connected to the VDS immediately

  Tried add/remove the NIC of the model

  Tried to move the comments on different hosts

  Tried to create a new template from scratch

  NOTE: Windows 2012 R2 doesn't have this problem in the same circles, the only constant is the Windows 2008 R2 being started by VRO.

  Anyone seen this before?

• Utility to display all the virtual machines that have ISO attached to CD

  Someone at - it a utility that will list all the virtual machines on a host or a cluster, indicating the State of the virtual CD drive?  I am trying to remove one of my nfs stores, and of course, he's busy.  It's a real pain to point and click through all the virtual machines to find one or two that have a CD with ISO attached.

  Obviously, free is better!

  Thanks for your suggestions,

• Virtual Center stops all the virtual machines in a cluster HA

  Hello.

  I have a question about vCenter machine. We have deployed

  VMware ESX 4.0 HA cluster on Server Blade IBM 3. VCenter machine resides

  on a virtual machine on the same cluster. When we tried to recharge a physical switch (in the)

  IBM Blade Center), all our virtual machines on the cluster have been turned off automatically.

  If the vCenter VM is turned off, then everything is fine - the reloading of the

  Switch is not turning off the virtual machines (and the net is ok - start machines

  work through another switch in IBM bladecenter). If the machine vCenter

  powers (manually), all the other machines, which have been put off, are powered

  on too (automatically, of course, with the help of the machine of vCenter). How

  is that what I can adjust the machine vCenter, so it could not power power machines by

  itself automatically?

  ESX 4.0 (162856)

  Hello

  Right-click in your cluster, change the settings. Select 'Virtual Machine Options' under 'Vmware HA' and choose the host response of insulation desired for the entire cluster or individual VM. If you do not have network connections redundant between your ESX machines, you probably want the virtual machine for when you need to do maintenance or your network switch died. You should probably also disable HA while doing maintenance. You should consider to build network redundancy in the case of a production environment.

  I hope that helps!

• Get the IP of the virtual machine and MAC

  Hello

  I'm trying to get the IP of the virtual machine and the MAC one of my data centers.

  When I run that the following script two things happen:

  1. I don't see a vm in the output of the csv file.

  2. when I send the output to the quick PowrCLI I see only a mac and one IP address for virtual machines with network cards.

  Script

  ---------

  $MV = Get-Data Center $DC | Get-vmhost | Get - VM

  {foreach ($VM to $VMs)

  $VMx = get-view $VM.ID

  $HW = $VMx.guest.net

  foreach ($dev to $HW)

  {

  foreach ($ip in $dev.ipaddress)

  {

  $dev | Select

  @{Name = 'Name'; {Expression = {$vm.name}}.

  @{Name = 'IP address'; Expression is {$ip}},

  @{Name = 'MAC'; {Expression = {$dev.macaddress}} |

  Export-CSV VM - IP - Info.csv - NoTypeInfo

  }

  }

  }

  My console output, tested on a virtual machine with two external network cards and an internal interface "dummy".

  Name                               IP                                  MAC

  You see the addresses expected in summary using vSphere Client VM?

  Oh sorry, I forgot the PS 3.0 requirement.

  You can put all the entries in a table and export all at the end of the script.

• Lists the names of all the virtual machines

  I want to display a list for the name of all the virtual machines.

  Get - VM export to much information, how to filter the info I need?

  With the Select-Object cmdlet, like this

  Get - VM | Select name

  The Get - VM product objects that you pass through the pipeline ('|) ') to the Select-Object cmdlet.

  The Select-Object cmdlet allows you to select one or more of the properties of the objects it receives.

• Connect physical hard disks to the virtual machine (and leave the data intact)

  Hello

  I'm looking to virtualize a SOHO headless server, that I use mainly for secure file storage.

  Currently, the system runs Linux installed on a small disc and has two drives 1.5 TB, used exclusively for data, in a cluster of ZFS mirroring. (I use the ZFS-fuse Linux-based application).

  I want virtualization for two reasons. One is to make administration easier and safer - avoid having to connect a keyboard and the physical monitor to the box from time to time. The other is that the machine is a bit more powerful to handle the load, and I'm hoping to make it work on other, more challenging tasks.

  Now, there is a catch. These discs are as highly important. I mean the data on them. What I need is to convert the current Linux system to a virtual machine, or re - install Linux on a virtual machine (don't like that), then connect the physical disks to the virtual machine as if they were actually connected.

  I certainly don't want to vmware touches those disks somehow.

  I've read the documentation, but I'm a noob when it comes to server virtualization and system engineering and don't quite understand if this is possible or not. These discs are not a SAN, they are physically connected to the server, I want to install vSphere on. (Of course, I'll log out when I run the setup of vSphere. But I need plug them again later, and they need to be sure that vmware will leave them alone and pass them to the virtual machine transparent.)

  Sigmoid wrote:

  Oh yes, the cluster mirrored ZFS. It is essentially a software RAID type thingie.

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS

  A material, or the point of view of virtualization, it appears two hard drives with a single huge partition on each that is not transparent to anyone, except the implementation of ZFS.

  OK, means that you can break the RAID, connect the drives to different host and configure RAID once again, right?

  Let's do it this way

  1. We will need a disc player more for VM, cause on flash, we install ESXi
  2. I will share ZFS :-), all you need to do with that before you install ESXi
  3. make the BACKUP!
  4. Disconnect the data host drives
  5. install ESXi 4.1 U1 free version on flash
  6. Download the site VMware vSphere client
  7. Connect the VM disk to ESXi
  8. customer help create the virtual machine and install the OS on it
  9. stop the virtual machine and esxi
  10. connect DATA drives to the ESXi host
  11. begin to ESXi
  12. See how to add RDM on youtube, after client use, change first hardware VM--> add a new hard disk--> choose Raw Device Mapping--> (physical or virtual) mode--> store it with folder VM - FACT
  13. Start the virtual machine, now your VM should see both drives, with good data course :-)

  I have just made this procedure (add ROW with data in Linux VM) on ubuntu VM, works well

  See you soon

• script to remove all the virtual machines in a folder or a group resource

  Someone at - it a script that will find all the virtual machines within a file or a group of resources and then delete the virtual machines?

  If you're dealing with a specific resource pool or a folder, you can use these.

  $vmlist = get-folder -name "TEST2"  | get-vm
  $vmlist = get-resourcepool -name TestServers | get-vm
  

  And then send it to something like this

  $vmlist | ForEach {
       If ($_.PowerState  -eq "PoweredOn")
            {
            Stop-VM -VM $_.Name -Confirm:$False
            }
       Remove-VM -VM $_.Name -Confirm:$False      }
  

  Also to find files of type VM

  get-folder -name | where {$_.IsChildTypeVM -eq "True"}
  

  Do you need to search the children files or resource pools as well?

• I get an error "the disk hard virtual parent is in a saved state. Discard the saved state or stop the virtual machine and try again. "during the installation of XP mode.

  I have Win7 Pro SP1 x 64.  I downloaded WindowsXPMode_en - us.exe (from Microsoft downloads) and run it.  The installation seems to work OK (I've specified a different location for the parent virtual hard disk file).  Then, installation happening and I provide the information requested (name of user and password for the XP Mode), updates Windows and OK to the issue of sharing.  The installation program then reports the following error:

  I get the error even if I try manually configure XP Mode (use the Setup Wizard).  I downloaded the installer XPMode (3 times) and reinstalled several times, always with the same result.  If it helps, I can't locate anywhere .vsv file.

  Any idea what's going on?

• How to get the MAC address of the virtual machine on which vmware tool is not installed

  Hello

  In our project, we communicate to vCenter/ESX and details of virtual machines using the VI - Java 4.0.0 SDK APIs

  I use PropertyCollector for details.

  But in the following cases

  1. a virtual machine is poweredOff.

  2 VMware tool is not installed on the virtual machine.

  I am not able to get the mac using the PropertyColector address.

  To get the macaddress property I use after crossing spec:

  rootFolder (folder)-> childEntity (data center)-> hostFolder (Folder)-> childEntity (ComputerResource)

  -> host (Hostsystem)-> vm-> guest (GuestInfo)-> net (GuestNicInfo)-> macaddress (in Virtualmachine)

  I know the vSphere client uses the VI SDK to perform all operations, and I am able to see the macAddress of VirtualMachine in cases using vSphere client.

  Is any body please help me get the macaddress of VM in the two cases.

  Thank you

  Take a look at the dashboard feature of the virtual machine and specifically "VirtualEthernetCard": http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.device.VirtualEthernetCard.html

  When you assign a new vNIC to each virtual machine, a unique MAC address generated is given by default. If you still want to map the actual interface of the guestOS, then you would take a look at guestInfo as you may have noticed IF you have the VMware Tools. Although the default is whence the MAC address

• Optimal code to retrieve all the virtual machines in a ResourcePool

  Hi all

  What is optimum (fastest) encode during extraction of all virtual machines in a Resource Pool?

  I have this:

  $myVMs = get - vm | where {$_.} ResourcePool - eq "MYRP"}

  [1]

  Is this actually retrieve ALL virtual machines first and then filter on the second resource pool (in which case it would be 'slow')?

  I also have this:

  $myRP = get-resourcepool "MYRP".

  $myRP.extensiondata.vm

  This generates the MoRef VM.

  [2]

  How do I use get - view then pull only information on those specific MoRefs and has this method might be considerably better than the get - vm method detailed above?

  Notice-EEG - viewtype property VirtualMachine MoRef does not work

  Kind regards

  marc0

  Hi Marco,.

  (1) Yes, this call will be all first retrieve all virtual machines and then filter on the resource pool property.

  I suggest using the following call which retrieves only the virtual machines in the desired resource pool. This will give you better performance:

  $resourcePool = get-ResourcePool "MYRP".

  Get-VM-location $resourcePool

  # Or you can use this:

  Get-VM-location "MYRP".

  (2) you can use Get-View to retrieve objects by MoRef like this:

  $vmViews = get-view-Id $myRP.extensiondata.vm

  # If you need VM objects rather than their point of view, then you must also do the following:

  $vms = $vmViews | Get-VIObjectByVIView

  Kind regards

• Dedicated network adapter to the virtual machine and the host computer not let can visit his profile

  OK, here's my question, I know how to give themselves a phyiscal nic to a vmware, but I wanted to take it one step further and do not leave the host send or receive data from this network card, only the virtual machine can use this network/NIC...

  Here's my reasoning, I have to network conections, one is for my internal/field network and the second is a direct connection to the internet (Comcast) I don't want to use to separate the machines have for internet connection, I want to be on the same machine phyiscal and have just the vmware machine talking to comcast... is it possible?  I am running VMware workstation 7, last update.

  Thank you

  Cdrshm

  I assume you are using a Windows host?

  If Yes...

  -first set up networking networking with vmnetcfg.exe

  -assign vmnet0 to the network card for the internal network

  -assign vmnet2 to the network card used for direct access to the internet

  -Right-click on the map network-icon in the systray and access the properties of the network adapter for vmnet2

  -Disable all other protocols and the Protocol of vmware_bridge for this network adapter

  result: a virtual machine that uses vmnet2 can directly access the internet and the host has no IP address for this network adapter - and therefore cannot use it.

• 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.
