• Commands to start and stop a virtual machine hosted by VMware player

  Where can I find the commands to start and stop a virtual machine hosted by VMware player on a host Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)?

  I need to start and stop the virtual computer from a script as I could do this by selecting the ' power on ' and his 'guest stop' or at least 'power off' options of the GUI of VMware player.

  If a control interface is not available, is available if I update to VMware Workstation?

  With the player, the VIX API is a separate download (on the same page you downloaded the install drive in), so I guess you will have to install the separate package to use it.  But it's pretty easy to do...

• VMware HA and recovery of virtual machines (not to restart them)?

  Hello

  I need help clarify something with VMware HA.

  When I do manually our primary ESXI host, the VMs appear and restart on the secondary host.

  Yes virtual machines are restarted automatically, but it does not resume the virtual machine without interruption as DRS and provides that vMotion.

  Is there a way I can configure HA to not restart and resume the virtual machine in place without interruption?  If not, what are my other options I can configure in VMware ESXi do exactly, if any?

  Thank you very much

  Jan

  HA is used in the event of a host failure, so there is no chance to migrate a workload (curriculum vitae) to another host. What you are asking for can be achieved with FT (Fault Tolerance) where a secondary VM is created on a different host and basically synchronized with the primary virtual machine. In case of failure of the primary virtual machine VM school can resume (almost) without interruption.

• 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.

• Newbie question: list the Configuration of virtual machines and data warehouses

  Hello

  I'm new on using powercli how to list all virtual machines in a certain data center, their memory, Procs and what data warehouses they are on.

  I know you can use get - vm | Select-object name, NumCPU MemoryMB but if I add DatastoreIdList as well, it doesn't seem to work.  What Miss me

  Thank you very much

  Laurence

  That's right, you could do

  Get-VM MyVM | Select Name,@{N="DS";E={[string]::join(',',($_.datastoreidlist|%{(Get-View -Id $_).Name}))}},Description |
      Export-Csv "C:\test.csv" -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
  

  Just look at whether the separator for CSV is be a comma in your culture, you probably need to adjust the separator in the Join method!

• 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!

• Question of moving from virtual machine

  Hey everyone, I have installed virtual machine I need to move from one hard drive to another.  The problem I have is that the destination drive is formatted in FAT32 and cannot send the VM on this disk because it is on the 4 GB file limitation.  I changed the settings to the hard drive to divide it into sections of 2 GB but can't seem to find where these files moved to.  I then looked in the file vmware-vdiskmanager-r sourceDisk.vmdk t 1 targetDisk.vmdk option, but it can not find the hard associated with the virtual machine.  It turns out that when I installed the virtual machine, it all packed in a .vmwarevm file.  I don't know how I can do this now. Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  If you have already selected a 'Divided into 2 GB files' in the settings of the Virtual Machine, you can now copy/move the computer virtual package (.vmwarevm) for the drive/partition/volume formatted FAT32.

  A Virtual Machine package (.vmwarevm) is actually nothing more then a folder containing files (and other files).  Despite its size, as shown in the Finder, as long as 'Divide into 2 GB files' is selected in settings of the Virtual Machine, it can be copied/moved to a FAT32 format volume/partition/drive.

• The list of all the virtual machines of an organization

  Hi all

  I use .net api for vcloud. I need the list of all virtual machines of an organization. How I do that?

  Kamal

  Hello

  A paralytic can contain several virtual machines. Once, you get the use of vApp, the GetChildrenVms() for the confined list of the VM.

  VAPP vapp = Vapp.GetVappByReference (customer, vAppRef);

  foreach (VAPP vm in VAPP. {GetChildrenVms()})

  Console.WriteLine ("" + vm.) Reference.Name);

  Console.WriteLine ("" + vm.) Reference.href);

  }

  Creating a paralyzed man from a vAppTemplate will contain the same number of VM contained in a vAppTempalte.

  If the vAppTemplate contains 3 VM inside. VApp created using the vAppTempalte would also contain the same 3 VM.

  Ex: If the Ex vAppTempalte: WebApplication-vAppTemplate contains a DatabaseVM and AppServerVM.

  VApp created from the Ex vAppTemplate: WebApplication-VAPP will also contain a DatabaseVM and AppServerVM.

  Kind regards

• Problem with the mouse and the network after the upgrade VMware Tools and hardware to virtual machine

  Hello world...

  I just upgrade my ESX 3.5 servers to vSphere 4.1. All this work is very well with the upgrade right now.

  After that, I tried to mise a niveau of VMware Tools and hardware of VM for my virtual machine and the problems started.

  I tried with two different VM (the two Windows 2003) and the problem appears for the two VM.

  I don't want to test another VM of the different operating system now, I'm afraid to go too far with update of Pentecost the problem I have now.

  I tried two VM to be sure that the problem is not only on a virtual machine.

  First of all, the mouse.

  My mouse has jerky movement. The button works, but sometimes I have to click several times to select what I want.

  I tried to uninstall the mouse in Device Manager and reinstall, but not really Pentecost improvement which (buttons works better, but... not so sure).

  Second problem.

  After you restart the server after VMmware tools and hardware virtual machine, the network link not working anymore.

  When I go to my network card configuration, IP settings are reset in DHCP mode.

  If I go again all my IP settings, Windows says:

  The IP address is hidden from the network and Dial-up connections

  folder because it is not physically in the computer or is a riser

  It does not work. If the same address is assigned to both adapters and

  they become active, only one of them will use this address. This may result

  in the incorrect system configuration. You want to enter a different IP address

  address of this adapter in the list of IP addresses for this card in the list

  Advanced IP address in the dialog box

  If I answer Yes to this, I have to enter a new IP address, and of course, this is not what I want to do.

  If I don't answer, the network working again.

  I think it is a strange message but the work of the vSphere maybe network now.

  Anyone have any idea why my work network and mouse as this upgrade after.

  All other VM that is not upgraded so far works great.

  Thanks in advance...

  (1) make sure that your hardware acceleration is safe enough. I got the upgrade down my hardware acceleration several times already.

  (2) sounds like the new drivers for your NIC cards took over and VMware is basically a new card NETWORK for you. Follow these steps to disable it:

  (a) open a command prompt

  (b) type (without quotes): 'set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1' and press ENTER.

  (c) type (without the quotes): "start devmgmt.msc"

• Workflow to edit an existing virtual machine

  Hi all!

  I just wanted to ask if someone can give me an example of a workflow that can be used to modify an existing virtual machine.

  I guess in order to change the virtual machine, you will need to power off, edit and it turns on again.

  I would like to modify CPU, RAM and maybe add/remove a disc. I looked in the workflow to create VM and I see how the settings are made, but I don't know how to edit on an existing virtual machine.

  Thank you

  Take a look at this post:

  http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-10543 for adding memory to a virtual computer.  The same area http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/mgmt/orchestrator/?view=documents has another workflow for adding cycles CPU.  Cycles adding CPU or memory to new or existing VM are the same call as you add really, but instead, you set how much memory & cpu you want.

  There is a workflow that you can use to add a disk in the library.

  Let us know if you need help with anything that anyone else.
