• Start and stop Virtual Machines with the system

  Hello

  In a server cluster @vcenter HA/DRS 5.1, I enabled start and stop virtual machines with the system option but after I checked two days later, he is off again somehow. What makes this option off? I had a power failure in the datacenter. vCenter server has not been upward. I started all of the ESXi servers manually then went all VMs account is declining. I want that they start automatically when server ESXi upward.

  Thanks in advance,

  Thank you. This option is more valid than if the hosts are part of an HA Cluster license. I suspect that you configured through the traditional vSphere Client and that it is a bug with this client. If you try with the new vSphere Web Client, you will find a notice that it is disabled and there is no button "Edit".

• Free version of ESXi can support for configuration of start and stop virtual machines via vSphere Client?

  I have read and found some documents on ESXi.

  According to the documents, I know that ESXi free version does not support some advanced virtual machine configurations and does not support write to ESXi host permission. But when I download ESXi from vmware.com, I can't find the free version. He will always be a trial of the licensed version edition because I can always do the configuration of start and stop virtual machines via vSphere Client installation. I can also run scripts (lamw) pl in vMA to stop the ESXi host (authorization to write ok?)

  Then I confused. How can I get the really free version of ESXi? Or will the free version after 60 days of evaluation?

  Start/stop above configuration is in vSphere Client via 'Configuration'-> "start/stop VM"-> "Properties"... «-> "Allow the virtual computers start and stop automatically with the system" actions setting and stop virtual machines can be configured to "comments"turn off computer"or"Suspend".» Can any body tell me if it's supported by ESXi free edition?

  Is the free version of vSphere Client too? Because when I use the vSphere Client, he told me that I have 60 days of evaluation. This confused me again. I think that vSphere Client is always free, am I right?

  Any suggestion or advice is much appreciated.  ^_

  Configuration of start and stop virtual machines is available with the free version and licensed, with the free version you would be configured everything via vSphere Client, where as with a licensed version, you can optionally use scripts to configure it and also issue restarts/stops using scripts.

  Second, shutdownHostViaSOAPAPICall.pl for the version licensed and free of ESX (i), this script will work in both free and licensed because it uses direct SOAP calls emulating the vSphere Client communication. Take a look at the documentation for details, but this of course is not supported by VMware.

• Problem is when I vMotion virtual machine running it stop responding for 5-10 sec.

  I get a black screen with the message "waiting for connection" and complete the wheel which revolves around 5-10 seconds until the display returns and vMotion. vMotion drop the ping package on the virtual computer to 78%

  I created the test of setting up a pilot project of HA/DRS in my company. But I found that there is a problem with vmotion on running virtual machine.

  I have 2 Dell Power Edge 2950 servers with 8 GB of RAM and dual NIC. I gave a separate connection to port vKernal for vMotion. Everything works well except vMotion.

• vCenter converter 5.1 - just P2V to esxi 5.1 but stop virtual machine by iteself

  I P2V a machine using vCenter converter 5.1 and migrated to 5.1 ESXi host. If conversion/migration is finished without error. Now when I turn on the computer, virtual it stops up to the login screen and it goes on and on. Not able to understand what is happening. I veried resources assigned these looks good.

  Some successful how to enter safe mode. UPS service was guilty. Disabled it and also default actions has changed for this service of "Non-action" for all three incidents.

  No problems now and new virtual machine works very well without any problem

• Stop virtual machines with or without VMware tools installed

  So after a power failure major where I work has taken place where the batteries of the UPS only ran about 10 minutes and the emergency generator didn't kick in, I was put in charge of writing a script that starts to stop the virtual machines and servers in a given cluster. Now that I am relatively new to the environment here, so I don't know if all the virtual machines have the tools are installed. I want to cover all bases and the virtual machines that do not have the tools installed. My script done now is it initiates closing the comments on all the virtual machines and check every 10 seconds to 120 seconds for virtual machines go offline if after 120 seconds, there are even virtual machines online, it issues a shutdown command on all servers that have not stopped. Now, he'll catch all the virtual machines, but I don't want the machine have to wait 2 minutes before totality if it can be avoided (remember that this script will be executed when the data center goes to the power of the UPS for every watt account to keep critical systems online). the script throws an error when it cannot stop because no tool is installed, so I thought I could use a try/catch block to catch the error and send just a detroit of turning control of these VMs off. I tried to do, but without success.

  Is it possible that I can either catch the error, or a stop all virtual machines that do not have the tools installed?

  Attached is my code, maybe you can spot what can I do to stop the virtual machines without tools within the do / while loop when errors occur first.

  Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core
  $server = $args [0]
  $cluster = $args [1]
  SE connect-VIServer-Server $server
  $counter = 0
  {}
  If (Get-Cluster-name $cluster | get - vm | where {$_.powerstate - eq 'receiving'}) {}
  If ($counter - eq 0) {}
  Get-Cluster-name $cluster | get - vm | where {$_.powerstate - eq "receptor"} | stop-VMGuest-confirm: $false
  }
  Write-Host "VMs are on waiting" (120-$counter)"seconds"
  $counter = $counter + 10
  Sleep 10
  }
  }
  While ($counter - 110)-or ((Get-VMHost |)) Get - VM | where {$_.powerstate - eq "receptor"}) .count)-No 0
  If ($counter = 120) {}
  Write-Host "certain virtual machines did not not stop properly, tension now.
  Get-Cluster-name $cluster | get - vm | where {$_.powerstate - eq "receptor"} | Stop-VM-confirm: $false
  }
  Write-Host "Putting servers into maintenance mode."
  Get-cluster-name $cluster | Get-vmhost | where {$_.state - eq 'connected'} | Game-VMHost-State "Maintenance".
  Sleep 10
  Write-Host "stop servers."
  Get-cluster-name $cluster | Get-vmhost | where {$_.state - eq 'Maintenance'} | Stop-VMHost-confirm: $false
  Disconnect-VIServer-confirm: $false

  Try something like this

  $vm = Get-VM
  $vm | where {$_.Guest.State -eq "Running"} | Shutdown-VMGuest -Confirm:$false $vm | where {$_.Guest.State -eq "NotRunning"} | Stop-VM -Confirm:$false
  

  Virtual machines running VMware tools will get a judgment of comments, while the virtual machines that do not have the VMware tools running, will get a poweroff.

• Manual removal placeholder VMs when the protected virtual machine is removed

  We run SRM 5.5. We had some VMs protected, we need more, so they have been removed from the drive (I can't). When I found out about it, I went in SRM and removed the protection for these deleted virtual machines. Most of the VMS placeholder have been correctly removed by this procedure, however, I see still 2 VMs of space reserved for virtual computers that no longer exist. No idea why only these 2 (about 6) were not cleaned.

  My question: can I remove manually just these VMs placeholder? They are not in any group of protection, or the stimulus plan. And the protected virtual machines which correspond to these placeholders no longer exist. It's as if they are zombie placeholders. :-)

  There is no problem with me removing the VMs placeholder manually, y at - it?

  Hello

  Yes, its safe to delete the place holder vm.  Make sure the source VM is not protected and no replication is configured. Restart the SRM service.

  Thank you

• File not found error when opening a virtual machine (from No-Time Machine backup)

  Hello world

  I have a problem with my installation of Fusion 2.0.6 on my iMac to Snow Leopard related to a "file not found".  I did my best to analyze the positions of the community to see if anyone has experienced this before.  I found several posts and tried the suggestions in these posts, but I have not been able to solve.

  I'm trying to restore from a full backup of my XP VM. It's not a backup Time Machine; just a straight backup of VM together using SuperDuper (part of my nightly backup routine).  To restore, I copied:

  -> BACKUP/users/John/Documents/Virtual Machines/Windows XP Home Edition.vmwarevm

  for -> MacHD/users/John/Documents/Virtual Machines/Windows XP Home Edition.vmwarevm

  Merge, I opened the Windows XP Home Edition VM, only to get the error:

  «File not found: Windows XP Home Edition-000005 - s001.vmdk.» This file is required to power on this virtual machine.  If this file has been moved, please provide its new location. »

  I find the file hard (what is there) and get the same error message several times.

  Interestingly, when I try to open the same VM from the backup location, I also get the same error.

  Really stuck now and don't know what to do.  Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  John

  It seems that the latest files are missing. The virtual disk which I guess has a size 5-6 GB provisioned consists of 3 files, of which 2 are missing for snapshot 000005 (Windows XP Home Edition-000005 - s002.vmdk and Windows XP Home Edition-000005 - s003.vmdk). Unless you have some backup, your options are limited and you will need to go back to the last instant whis is dated March 2012.

  Windows XP Home Edition - 000005.vmdk descriptor file (text file) will show the files that make up the virtual disk (the Flash disk in this case).

• Problem with networking when having multiple virtual machines on a single host

  Since the implementation of ESX 3.5i server on PowerEdge 1850 Server I had network problems. It took a large upstream of the violin - do not do something specific - but finally I could persuate a VM to talk to the outside world.

  Virtual machines have always been able to ping other virtual machines and physical NETWORK card to the host (with a static IP address only), however with a bit of deactivation/activation etc I could possibly get it connected. I have exactly the same symptomsusing the two Windows XP and Redhat, both with VM Tools installed.

  If big, I can get the virtual machines connected, *however * every time I managed to connect a computer to the outside network, she will knock off either a return to the State where I can ping only the other VMs and Teddy.

  I tried them in different port groups as well as in different vSwitches with a separate Teddy, but exactly the same problem.

  I thought it was just my ignorance, however after thorough reading and wasting time trying different combinations, I started to think this is a hardware incompatibility or an ESX installation problem.

  Please please please, if someone can help solve the problem, or diagnose if my suspicions are correct.

  I enclose my last combination of configurations!

  Thanks in advance.

  Run 'show port-security' on the switch and see what you have.  You can also view the current configuration of the port connected to an esx.  A switch will remove any doubt relating to port config differences type.

• Printer redirection when RDPing to virtual machines

  I recently built a Win 2 k 3 SP2 VM to serve our print server. I noticed that since I, whenever I have RDP in an another VM all printers in my local PC try redirected to the virtual machine I have access to. For example I have connected to (or "installed") all printers on my print server to my local PC. When I RDP to the print server, it automatically imports copies of each printer I have on my PC on my print server local and the names ' name of the printer on the name of the print server (the name of PC mylocal) in session 1.»  Even my local printer GET pulled into the virtual machine. The crazy part is that it is mapped completely and I can send print jobs to it. I've never seen this before between physical servers, so I thought that maybe it has something to do with my VM.

  Another thing I noticed is that when I am logged into the virtual print server and display the printers to which the name of the printer changes visibly to other words and characters. They are never complete, but sometimes they look like "Domain Cont" or something similar (I can't do it right now for example). Printers are not "really be renamed. It seems to be more than one buggy thing that disappears if I refresh the screen. It is still not normal and I'm worried about corruption somewhere in the virtual machine.

  My virtual machines are running on ESX 3i, 3.5.0

  This is clean enough servers. All servers have all MS patches installed and the only other software or services installed since my AV software

  Thanks in advance for any help

• No disc found when installing a virtual machine

  Shortly, I explain my setup.  I have a machine running Ubuntu 8.10 x 64 with VMware Server 2.0...  In VMware Server 2.0, I installed two virtual machines that are running ESX 3.5, that then connect to an OpenFiler running in a virtual machine on VMware server.

  In ESX, I configured a new virtual machine, on which I would like to install the Windows operating system.  Before being able to start, I had to edit the vmx to this host file and added a few lines while he was able to start.  The boots well VM, starts from the ISO file of Windows XP, but once I have set a drive to install to, it doesn't find everything.

  Does anyone know which setting I should do or what profile I have to chose when creating the VM in ESX?

  Thank you.

  by default, the Windows XP CD doesn't have the SCSI drivers for the HARD disk.

  For BusLogic you can download here http://www.vmware.com/download/server/drivers_tools.html

  .. .and I have attached the LSI driver we use for our XP VM

  You have to hit (f6) when prompted drivers third 3rd OT install, then mount the .flp file

• snapshotmanager.pl to view the instant full name of the virtual machine without hanging.

  Is there an option in snapshotmanager.pl that I can use to display the entire name instant. From now on, the name of the snapshot is divided into LIST action after which my GOTO action does not rightly! All tweak in snapshotmanager that would allow me to list the full name of a snapshot for a virtual machine that I could feed to the GOTO routine (I wouldn't mind if date, State, standby is not displayed).

  Actually, I'm trying to write a script to perform multiple actions of instant goto for a virtual machine.

  It is a command simple "printf" which can be changed to format the output. You can modify this code to increase the character limit to meet your needs.

• VMware Workstation 7 - why my PC freezes when opening a virtual machine?

  I used workstation 7.0 on my laptop Lenovo T400 of windows 7 for a month or two without any problems.

  Then a couple of days Workstation started OK but every time an attempt to open an image vmware of the laptop screen and the keyboard & mouse 'freeze' - no error message. I have to hold the power button / stop down to the laptop.

  The same vmware image works fine on another PC.

  I had some trouble uninstalling workstation initially-, but using the vnware uninstall tool I was able to uninstall and reinstall the post work - but still cannot open one of my images without the laptop freezing vm.

  I tried to install workstation 7.1 and vmware player 3.1 separately and they will appear to install (and uninstall) without problem - just can't open VM images. One thing I noticed is that when you reinstall workstation/vmware player - I can't find the adapter vmnet1 and vmnet8 at all. When you run vmnetcfg.exe, it seems to think vmnet1 & vmnet8 are there but they do not arise with ipconfig/all-command.

  Made a full chkdsk of the hard drive to find errors and a test of the RAM mem - everything was OK.

  Any help/advice would be much appreciated.

  John,

  I think it is most likely the result of the HW drivers updated being installed on the laptop.  I had this situation happen to me recently, my Intel Wifi driver has been updated and would crash my PC every time my computer was running and the laptop was trying to go to sleep, then wake up.  I found a new version that seems to have corrected the problem.

  Windows 7 has a great utility called the monitor of reliability for these situations.  If you presents a history of reliablity per day and more important still, tells you what happened day.  For example, on 6/7 you updated your Wifi driver and then for the next week you can see that your reliability rating is down to 5, every day since. :
