• License for vSphere Essentials 6, more

  Hello

  We have a client vSphere Essentials 5, more. If the customer wants to upgrade to version 6, they should buy some sort of license?

  I had a look at the my.vmware account, but could not see any version 6 it.

  If you have a Support and subscription current and active contract customer, you can upgrade to the new version free of charge.

• Virtual machines, run extremely slow when the console is consulted 2 virtual machines Windows Server 2008 64-bit, Windows Server 2003 32-bit, 2 VMWare for virtual machine

  I'm in a difficult situtaition here.  I am the daily contact with a new client.  My linux guy, who is also my boss who is very busy, asked me to do some research trying to find answers for what's not on this server. We have a dual Quad Core 2.5 Ghz Lenovo server with 10 GB of ram.  2 500 GB hard drives are Raid 1.  We run Virtual Server VMWare 2 on a Debian with Gnome installation as a user interface for the side of things Linux.  Grub is the boot loader. There are two virtual machines running on the server.  The one machine that serves as a domain controller is a Windows SBS 2008 Server 64 bit, and the secondary machine has no responsibility domain.  The second machine is a Windows Server 2003 32-bit.  the 10 GB of ram 6 GB is allocated to the SBS server and 4 GB to the 2003 server.

  The problem I am running into is that everything is so slow, especially if I connect remotely to do any sort of administration on the network.  Some examples of issues I've noticed is that as soon as I log on the server via Remote Desktop SBS console management Windows Server spike to 80-95% CPU usage and it will not stop unless I close the management console.  Another instance is that if I open Backup Exec 12.5 on the SBS server it will kill the speed of the processor as well.  Long story short, there are a lot of machine to do what we need to do, but something is not configured right and non of us know what it is.  Another point to note is that the server has been in production for about 3 weeks, and the server seemed to have locked up just twice.  My professional guess is that over time, some chose thing is eating causing the crash of the memory.

  Sorry I do not have much technical insight on this topic, but this is the best I have to offer.  Any questions you all have, I'll ask my people and see if I can answer, but I could really use your help here.

  Thank you in advance,

  Heath

  2 things:

  1 you really need hard drives more than 2 in a RAID 1 for proper performance under load. More disks the better. Although I don't think that's what your problem is, he'll probably be the problem Next you will do.

  2. I don't know exactly where the configuration file is on your box of Debian for VMware Server, but you should consider adding the following options in the configuration file (on windows, it's the vmware 'config.ini'):

  prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100".

  MemTrimRate = 0

  sched.mem.pshare.Enable = "FALSE".

  mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE".

  If you do some research, you can read about what these options (the largest is the memory page sharing - it should only be left on if you have a bunch of similar virtual machines running on the same box, that you don't have.) I honestly know why this is on by default, he kills the CPU when virtual machines are running different operating systems). These are the options that I now use standard in VMware Server deployments, with huge performance increases after you have added the. Just give a try.

  Edit: Also make sure that you have installed in your virtual machines VMware tools.

• I opened PS3 and see a window "license for this product has stopped working". Help!

  I have the PS3.  A few months ago, I had an iMac 27 "10.11.2 opportunity and transferred my PS3 (plus any creative suite 3) top.  There was a window that says please register in 5 days or it will be inactive (or something like that). I did what I was supposed to do and have appreciated the help of PS3 on this new iMac.  Everything worked very well. Last night I shut down my computer before a separate software has been updated done and makes the iMac not able to start.  The only option I found was to erase the hard drive and install using Time Machine. (I use the bad terminalogy)   I did and everything was successful until I opened PS3 and see a window "license for this product has stopped working".  Help!  It is said one solution is to uninstall. When I went to the Adobe Uninstaller I saw NO PS3, but see icon with "Add or remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium" with a small arrow, that I have the means to think his alias and I don't know where he lives. Can someone help me get back my PS3?  Thank you!

  Please stay on point and help me with my problem of PS3 and not encourage me to upgrade to what is current.  I have SP6 here, but want to keep the PS3 will.

  Thank you.

  Whenever you retrieve from a backup Time Machine, you will break licenses and need to run a repair. I know. I did it twice. As the instructions given in the doc to Adobe using own isn't enough for someone new to the procedure, I set up a screenshot guide.  Layout error 150:30 opening Photoshop cs4 on Macbook Pro

  If you go through this guide to screenshot and do exactly as indicated, you won't make those mistakes. Perhaps it would be good to read first. I carefully put in place this guide, my instructions are good in their current form, do not do anything else.

  In the first post #11, I forget to add a space after "sudo python" before you drag the licenserecovery.py to the command line, and I never load any type of break line or before you drag the script.

  Second: In #15 if you simply slide the script into the window, it will be on the same line.  What you see is the packing of command to work around the size of the window, but it is always on the same line and will run when you enter your password.

  You will also see that there is a space between "python" and the script in the screenshot.

  Again, if you are new to this, read first.

• Can't access file system host (MAC) shared in VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client when wanting to create a VMware image (Windows 7 in Parallels virtual machine running on a MAC) for the option of machine Powered On.

  File HOST (Mac) system is currently shared in the Parallels virtual machine and is accessible through Windows Explorer and works correctly in the Virtual Machine environment, however, after installing vCenter Converter application on the Windows virtual machine these shared folders are not accessible from the conversion tool in the selection of the target destination of the file VMware (s). I can't select an existing folder on drive "C:" to write the image so that there is not enough space available for the VMware image and it must be written in a different file system, while the image is being created.

  Anyone know a way around it to show the target to write the image on the host (MAC OS) file system or is it a bug?

  Thanks for the reply.  It seems that the maps are not displayed if they were created as actions by the hosts.  When I created a mapping directly from Windows, then this mapping appeared and the conversion worked fine.

• How to activate the Internet connection on Windows Server 2003 is installed in the virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8?

  I have Windows Server 2003 is installed on a virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8. I need it to learn and practice the use of the Active Directory. I've also set up 3 Windows XP workstations connect to it, which means that they can communicate with Server 2003. What is lacking is the Internet connection on all of them. When I run ping 8.8.8.8 in one of these virtual machines, I get, 'Destination host unreachable.'

  I'm not sure, what if the problem comes from the settings in Windows or the settings of the virtual machine.

  Can someone help me?

  Thank you, guys. I was finally able to put in place. It was quite an ordeal to deal with IP addresses and virtual networks. Here's how I did (in the screenshots) in case someone else needs it.

  (I also confess that it is perhaps one of the ways to implement. Maybe there is an easier way to do it with DHCP...)

  1. in your computer where is installed VMware Workstation 8 begin the "Virtual Network Editor." It is located in the folder of installation of VMware Workstation. And implement the network following (VMnet2 in my case):

  

  2 then in VMware Workstation itself in the virtual machine when Windows Server 2003 is installed set up two network as connections:

  This one is for external access to the Internet:

  

  And this one for intranet communications AD:

  

  3. then in the machine virtual de Windows Server 2003 set up what follows for two network adapters:

  For Internet access:

  

  Then, you need allow this connection to share:

  

  And then for the ad access to workstations (ensure that the static IP address is in the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor). I've also set up DNS to 127.0.0.1 because I installed on this Windows 2003 DNS server:

  

  4. from the Windows 2003 VM try ping 8.8.8.8. It should work now.

  5. go to each workstation, in my case, Windows XP, each in its own virtual machine and set up the network in the VMware Workstation as follows:

  

  6. then in the virtual machine, configure the network connection for Windows XP workstation. Don't forget to assign a new static IP address for each workstation, which not coinside with IP of the domain (this IP address must come from the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor):

  

  7. try first ping the domain, in my case ping 192.168.237.128. And then Internet, ping 8.8.8.8. The two should work!

  Continue with steps [5-7].

• The GPO firewall Windows on a host computer affects the virtual machines?

  I have a few ports in Windows Firewall exceptions defined in a GPO for our "corp" domain  If virtual machines are on a different domain, group policy applies for VMS and hosts?  If I define a strategy of firewall on the host, the virtual machine inherits the policy as well?

  Welcome to the forums!

  A GPO Site likely to affect a virtual machine if it is a field that is in the same site and if a site GPO is defined. All others (domain, ORGANIZATIONAL unit) do not affect the comments.

  In general there is no difference between virtual guests and physical hosts on the domain behavior and functionality.

  GPOS cannot be inherited from hosts to guests because these associate AD, not associated with virtualization.

• Cannot import Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4.

  Hi team,

  I use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone to import certain Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4, using another Windows Server 2008 R2 as the machine Agent Converter. Well, the agent connects to the Windows VM source very well (I used the net use command to create a line of conduct...), perhaps no chance to connect to the computer target VMware ESxi 4 and make the converter doesn't work...

  Following is the error message:

  "Unable to connect to the host specified" from the converter agent machine. " It is perhaps because the host is not available on the network, there is a problem with the network configuration or management on this host services do not react. Check all components of converter to be able to connect.

  So, my question is; is it possible to create a work around (like the net use Windows command above) to make possible the connection of the converter Agent on Linux VMware ESXi 4 machine Windows machine, to directly import the virtual machines of Windows Hyper-V to Linux VMware?

  Thanks in advance,

  It's even easier than that

  Use this: http://www.winimage.com/

  Which will convert *.vhd *.vmdk, so you don't need to do all this... Of course, another way is to start the machines, leaving them on Hyper-V and go through the network and process virtual machine as physical machines and do a P2V on the network...

• 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?

• 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!

• IP address of the Linux virtual machines

  Hello

  I've got ESXi running. When I go to the virtual computers tab in VI Client and configure it to display the IP addresses, only the virtual machines that are windows actually show the IP address. How can I get Linux virtual machines to display IP addresses too?

  VMWare tools installed in Linux VM will do?

  Thanks in advance,

  André.

  Yes the Vmware tools are what you need.
