• Workflow list and range from virtual machine disk

  Hello

  I need to create a workflow that virtual disks of list of a virtual machine, defined in the input parameter.

  So I have 2 questions:

  How can I list a specific virtual machine disks?

  -I can't find how to access this information

  -Is it possible to fill a field of presentation after you have selected the virtual machine?

  ,

  Best regards

  Hello

  find the code of an action that loops through all the devices of a given virtual computer and returns an array containing the keys of the device below. You can then use it in a decorator for the workflow to let the user select a drive.

  See you soon,.

• What is the open file Virtual Machine vCenter web console?

  What is the open file Virtual Machine vCenter web console?

  I have about 20 MV listed here and the rest under VMS.

  Thank you

  Records are a method of setting permissions in VMware vCenter. They form a triage unit and behave as a logical separation. When you first add the hosts to vCenter and you have all the files, there will be a default folder created for you as Richardsonporto mentioned.

  Later, you can create new folders and separate the virtual machine by drag-and - drop of their.

• Consolidation of Virtual Machine disk is necessary question

  Today, I have one of my virtual downwards because the error message that says that "there is no more space for disk virtual xxxxx - 000018.vmdk.» you might be able to continue this session by freeing up disk space on the relevant volume by clicking on try again"

  I want to know why this happened if I make my virtual with 1.5 to and my server is new... so for the most part the server have 300 GB in use... I also had 750 GB available for an another virtual and that the question, why this virtual grow too much and too quickly?

  Also when this happened how can I do to solve this problem, how disk space if I did a single data store with al the available space.

  The suggestions will be welcome.

  Thanks for you comments.

  Concerning

  JP

  In the files you posted, it appears that 000002 and 000007 files are not in use by the virtual machine, but the others are. What I recommend you do is to open the Snapshot Manager, create a new snapshot and then run "Delete All". This should clean all the snapshots except for the two mentioned above. If this is the case, shut down the virtual computer and move the two snapshots listed in a subfolder (to be able to restore them in case I'm wrong), then power on the virtual machine again. If there is no error, you can delete the moved files.

  Unfortunately I can't see any rule, snapshots are used and that have been created just for adding hot backup not, so you should always have to understand this from scratch. At least for the moment until Acronis comes up with a fix, you need to delete snapshots manually on a daily basis since the Snapshot Manager (create a new cliché-> Delete All) to avoid any trouble with too many active snapshot on the virtual computer.

  You have another virtual computer that has NOT "changed block Tracking" on, to see if the problem is related to the CBT!

• How im can extract the value of the persistence of virtual machine disk?

  Dear friends

  How im can extract the value of the value of the persistence of disks of virtual machines?

  IM using the bellows of the order, I have a if to check if the disks are independent or not

  but im only want values of the persistence of the column to use in my script

  Get-disk hard - vm machine01

  CapacityGB persistence Filename

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

  10 000 persistent [LUN2] RJ7469SR039/RJ7469SR039.vmdk

  8 000 persistent [rate2] RJ7469SR039/RJ7469SR039_1.vmdk

  Thank you

  Almir

  In your example, you just use Select-Object

  Get-disk hard - vm machine01 | Select the Parent, persistence

  The parent is the name of the virtual machine

• HA - specify on what ESXi host must go virtual machines

  Hello

  I am new to virtualization and VMware, and I have a question. I have configured a server cluster and enable HA, all that work fine with that, if I shut down a virtual machine server correctly restart on the other two hosts.

  My question is, is it possible your configure each virtual to go on a defined host computer if there is a problem. Example: I want that if 1, 1 VM host crash is happening on host 2 and VM 2 will host 3. In fact if the 1, 1 & 2 VM host crash go on host 2 because there is no hardware limitation I think.

  Thanks for your help!

  Hi normchri1920,

  It is a little tricky, but how about you using admission control?

  I used to have the same problem, and I managed with the help of admission control and control of crack size.

  To understand this technique, you must first understand what "slot size" means. See the document of vmware.

  Assume that you have 3 guests with same spec (same specifications of dimensions and cpu memory), and you have 4 virtual machines.

  And the size of the slot is a half size of total host resource; If you have a host contains 64 GB of memory, size of the slot will be 32 GB.

  4 virtual machines reside each guest as below.

  

  In this situation, if dead Host1, VM1 switch to Host2 and Host3, HA behaves like below.

  

  or

  

  Still you can not control for witch host VM1 or VM2 switch, but you can at least control each VMs to go to separate the host.

  I hope it works for you.

  Best,

• Virtual MACHINE disk SSD and SATA III?

  Hello

  I am building a new workstation tech support and will greatly appreciate your advice:

  In short, I am migrating from a 92 GB 32-bit Win7 with the only platform of RAM 4 GB, for a Win8 - 64 bit with 32 GB of RAM platform. From experience, I know that it will take months of "free time" until I can complete installation, configuration, data migration and upgrade of all Win8 software I need to run my business on a daily basis. In terms of continuity of activity for the moment, my way of thinking is to:

  Install a fresh Win8 64-bit in a C: partition of 125 GB on a new 250 GB SSD.

  Create logical partition D: on the remaining 125 GB SSD.

  I'll then P2V old Win7 on a new VM VMware on the D: partition.

  BTW, I'm not looking for methodology on the mechanics of the P2V here, because it is beyond the scope of this post and I know how to do this with the VMware products and 3rd party utilities.

  This should help:

  1. gradually get the host physical Win8 upward and entirely configured at my convenience, being able to continue to run Win7 in the VM for my daily activities.

  2. enjoy benefits and features of productivity which offers VMware Workstation on the competition.

  3. enjoy the impressive speed expected to have the VM Win7 on an SSD.

  4. several months from now when I need is more VM Win7 for daily activities, move the VM Win7 off the SSD (more than one pin SATA III), delete the D: partition out of the SSD and resize the partition of Win8 to use any DSS.

  If I do the migration of this way, Win8, I can do (part 3) full backups / incremental of Win8 C:partition and partition D: Win8 (which holds the VM Win7), the image separately as an activity based on required on these partitions. Yes, with the stop of the VM or suspended of course during imaging of 3rd party partition.

  The $64 questions are therefore:

  5. the sound that precedes like a plan?

  6. or, it would be better to just install Win8 on the SSD of 250 GB of space (with VMware Workstation installed of course) and put the VM Win7 on the pin SATA III that contains my other virtual machines? My 3rd party software Imaging allows full/incremental file, so I could just save the VM Win7 directory on this axis. I can see potential disk latency issues in this scenario, if I have the old VM Win7 running and at the same time also work on (for example) two guests Windows Server of pre-production with a few guests of Win7/Win8 (to test ERP software or question MSSQL). There are five virtual machines running on this SATA III 7200 RPM spindle.

  Sorry, that was so long. I look forward to your thoughts and comments.

  Kind regards...

  Personally speaking I use the SSD together as a single partition and have a low spindle drive where you can run your file exchange and the VM, it would be different if you were running multple VM and wanted that they have spun fast and enjoyable, but as it's a loophole to stop until you get all migrate by then I don't see why you want to divide the SSD.

  My MSI laptop has 2 SSD mSATA, the operating system of the House and a brooch my VM and file exchange and tbh I don't suffer at all with performance, I even was called to run virtual machines running (plural) from a device USB 3 instead.

• The maximum for a virtual machine disk size

  Hello

  Can I create a disk to a virtual machine that is larger then 2 TB?

  On a physical box, you convert dynamic disks and their band... but I think VMware recommend snot of dynamic disks.

  Thanks in advance...

  Hello

  2 TB is the max and also the MAX for several operating systems. If for any reason any if you need then you will need to do a bunch of multiple VMDK.

  For more information about the maximum size please see: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003565

• Virtual machine disk expansion

  I asked a while ago enlarge my capacity of virtual disk by removing the beginning .net [1-3] and found out it is a no-no. I promised to update my progress with the extension - in case anyone was interested.

  Freebie VMware Player, unlike the Workstation, is limited to the size of 40 GB drive. I cleared all the extras on my Win XP and put extra spacing available only - another virtual disk, where I can keep all my work files and backups. XP has now more than 3 GB to work in, and I run Smart Defrag to keep tidy C: drive.  I know that this isn't in the commercial interest of MSN, but I can't afford to upgrade my Win 7 or buy new COREL programs run on my present 7 HPE.

  I mean on the Virtual XP disk management, I created a 20 GB partition, I called V. There is no way to extend the initial allocation of 40 GB VMware in the VM reader.

• Consolidation of virtual machine disk is necessary

• What to do when a virtual machine goes gray?

  I have an old version of Fusion on my son's computer, mainly because he never uses Windows. I very rarely do on her computer when I can't use mine

  Is 4.1.4 and I just received a message and upgraded to the latest version of the Mavericks. When I walked into the virtual machine, he gave me the "just improved XP automatically and restarted" message and would not work the network card in one of the three parameters (it has been set by default on NAT).  Then the virtual machine started giving the error message can't go in unity Mode (I think I was in the mode of the unit at the time!)

  Then upon restart, he was told of the release of 6 and still can't connect to the internet (without connection, how he knew!)

  
  

  Then when I tried to go into network settings, the entire virtual machine crashed, which is unusual, the VM everything is gray and none of VMWare as SEND Ctrl-Alt-Delete menu items will work, all are grey.  Except the key and all keys are grayed out themselves.  Hold down the Option key modifies the menu, but almost everything is always grayed out.

  I can close this virtual machine, and it is unlikely to work again on this Macbook please?

  Yes, in a Terminal, use the following syntax:

  / Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmrun t stop vmname.vmx fusion

  Where vmname.vmx is the full qualified path of the virtual machine. VMX configuration file.  Take a look on: work with Virtual Machine packages

  Open the package of the Virtual Machine in the Finder and then drag and drop the configuration on the Terminal window .vmx file after that copy and paste the command show above up to and including the space after the judgment.

• Virtual MACHINE disk, but not in the inventory

  I have a virtual machine that has disappeared from the inventory, but is still in the (non-local) data store. In my view, that it was off. I tried to add to the inventory, but received a message that a virtual machine is already registered with that name. I believe that these are the steps that led to this State:

  I had a consultant in an ESXi host to replace it with a new one and a few weeks ago. All virtual machines have been moved out of the old host. The virtual machine in question was arrested that we did not use it. I just noticed today that it was not in the inventory because now I'm ready to use it.

  Another change that happened a few weeks ago was replacement unit vCenter vCenter. I don't know if who had nothing to do with him or not.

  Any suggestions how I could see the virtual machine in the inventory again?

  Hello

  As you can see this message, "received a message that a virtual machine is already registered with that name", while adding another virtual machine name use inventory. However, be sure that this virtual machine is not already.

• How can I know what the user creates a virtual machine?

  vCenter 2.5 update 4.

  All users of this connection are users active directory.

  How can I find who created a virtual machine from scratch / deployed a VM from a template.

  I.E. I'm visualize something like a right click on the virtual computer, then select properties and it shows you the creator / owner. A bit like the advanced windows file security tab, you can watch the owner.

  It is not a good like that.

  But the newspaper of VC, you can trace who create/deploy a virtual computer.

• Consolidation of necessary Virtual Machine disk

  Hi all

  I have a virtual appliance for vShield Manager and I am not able to turn on. It is said "Consolidation of disk. If I try to turn it on, it gives the error:

  An error was received from the ESX host turning on VM vShield Manager.

  Cannot open disk ' / vmfs/volumes/vShield Manager/vShield Manager - 000002.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

  The virtual disk parent has changed since the child was created. The content of the virtual disk ID parent does not match the ID of parent for children's content

  If I browse the data on which the virtual appliance door store, I see the file hard 000001.vmdk and 000002.vmdk.

  I did SSH to the esxi host and using vi attempted to verify the descriptor files vmdk disk file to change the CID but vi vShield Manager.vmdk is empty. There is no content inside the VMDK files.

  How can any suggestion I solve this problem?

  Thanks-AG
