• Cloning a virtual machine from a snapshot

  Using VMware Workstation I see that I can clone a virtual machine from a snapshot.

  I do not see a similar feature using the free version of VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi): is this correct?

  Should what component I add to activate even for VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi)?

  I had to upgrade to VMware vSphere?

• Create several virtual machines from the same base image

  Hi all

  Is there any vi api sdk by which I can create several virtual machines form same base vmdk file?

  All create the VM from the base VMDK file will have their own delta vmdk file that will refer to the same base VMDK file. Only changes that are performed on each virtual machine are saved on their respective delta vmdk files.

  Thanks in advance...

  Hello

  What you are referring is called Clones related, in the current VI API, there is no method that supports this feature. You can take a look at CloneVM_Task() http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk25pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.VirtualMachine.html#clone if you want to implement a full clone and this will require you to have access to vCenter.

  In the next version of vSphere, vSphere SDK THAT will provide a way to implement the related Clones and it will be a parameter you can specify CloneVM_Task() , more precisely in the VirtualMachineRelocateSpec where you will specify diskMoveType to createNewChildDiskBacking

  You can find more information once vSphere of GA and the new QAnywhere VI documents are released, but if you are looking to implement related Clones today, you can take a look at the product of VMware View 3, which provides support for linked Clones or you can take a look at two scripts that I wrote which creates linked Clones similar to that of the view :

  Clones related to ESX

  CLones related to ESXi

• Creating new virtual machine from an another vm

  I installed VMware ESXi 3.5 and that you have created a virtual machine to Windows Server 2003. I would like to use this virtual machine as a model to create other virtual machines. How to create a new virtual machine from a virtual machine existing? What is the best practice? Thank you.

  stop the virtual machine in question, and "the clone to a template.  You can then deploy oversized.  Make sure you have all of the sysprep files that are located in the right place.

• Create several virtual machines from a

  Is it possible to create multiple virtual machines a build? I have a 2008 R2 vm. instead of having to rebuild the whole system from scratch is there a way to make a template or something to create several virtual machines a build? I am using vcenter 5 and I have 2 servers esxi 5.

  You can create a template by right-clicking the virtual machine and choose Clone to the model and give the datstore where you want to save after that you will have a model using this model to deploy the virtual machine using Customization Wizard.

• How to create a virtual machine from a template?

  Hello

  I created a model of virtual machine with a virtual computer on an ESX Server. I want to use this model to create more virtual machines on different ESX servers. How can I do this?

  Thank you

  Tejas

  In your Virtual Center client in the left upper corner click the inventory button and choose 'Models and Virtual Machines' this will display your virtual machines as well as the underneather of models in the window of the host tree.  Right-click on the template and select deploy the virtual machine from this template and it will start the wizard.

• vCO workflow: create a virtual machine from a model and then ask the user about the CPU, memory size...

  Hi guys,.

  I am trying to create a workflow with vCO that can do the job for me:

  -Create a virtual machine (or maybe a several virtual machines) from a model (the model is in vCenter, of course)

  -L' user who is running the workflow has the thr right to say what he wants for the CPU, the memorysize, the disksize

  Any help?

  I found some workflows in the library can seem to do something similar to what I want, but since I'm a beginner I'd rather have your advice

  Hello there and welcome to vCenter Orchestrator

  Take a look at this series of tutorials to get an idea of how start:

  Create a vCO simple self-service VM Provisioning Portal - part 1

  Create a vCO simple self-service VM Provisioning Portal - part 2

  Create a Simple Self Service VM Provisioning Portal vCO - part 3

  The general approach to take would be to determine which of the clone (or clone and customize) workflows adapts to your nearest need (see your customer vCO: workflows\Library\vCenter\Virtual Machine management\Clone\)

  Then, create a NEW WORKFLOW that calls this one... after that your clone operation is complete, keep the computer turned off virtual and add feeds of extra work from the library to your new workflow that do things like change the amount of Ram, adds disks, change CPU, etc...

  Be sure to watch the videos on http://www.vmwarelearning.com/orchestrator to get a basic understanding of the use of vCO.

• You can force two virtual machines to run on different hosts?

  I'm looking to see if we can score two virtual machines to never run on the same host as the other. I thought I had seen this ability in later documentation but can't find it now.

  Thanks for any help!

  Hello.

  If you use the DRS, then you can use a rule of DRS 'separate virtual machines.  Go to the Cluster settings, change, then see the VMware DRS-> section to implement rules.

  Good luck!

• create the virtual machine from windows NT 4 server with adaptec raid 5

  I have an old Dell (1998) server running windows NT 4.0 sp6a.  He had a raid 5 configuration using the controller raid adaptec SCSI 2940.  2 discs failed who broke the raid set.  I had a disk recovery company to recover the data and they have scratched off readers and gave me a SATA with all volumes.  I found a procedure to create a virtual hard disk (.vhd) and then converted to a hard and used to create a virtual machine in VMware workstation 7.  When I turn on the virtual machine, it begins the process of starting windows, shows the boot menu, select normal or mode VGA, goes through the process of NTdetect, display processor and memory but then gives a BSOD with the message inaccessible_boot_device.

  I changed the hard to affect the buslogic ddb.adaptertype, but it gave me the same problem.

  is there a different driver that I need for an adaptec raid controller or if the typical SCSI drivers should work?  If the typical SCSI drivers should work, so my problem might be in my Boot.ini because it shows that he is supposed to start on the partition (4) and this sata drive may not have scores exactly as they were on the raid configuration.  I tried to mount the volumes not in read-only mode, but the partition that I need to change the boot.ini file is partition (2) what mapping VMware won't let me open mode not readonly.  whenever I have, select it and it opens the partition (1) mode not readonly.

  I know this sounds complicated then I hope I described with precision.

  Hello
  I live in Germany, but my internal clock seems to be adapted to the New York Times.
  Very useful, because most repairs or recovery to the VMware is done the evening or at night.

• Create a virtual machine from una Máquina física

  Buenas tengo a PC con windows vista 32bits y intento con virtualizar VMWare, vcenter converter standalone, para eso he cogido Máquina física y he pinchado UN segundo disco, he abierto el programa VMWare vcenter converter standalone y he hecho lo siguiente:

• How can I move virtual machines from a local data store for a new iSCSI SAN?

  Hello guys,.

  Now that we have a new iSCSI SAN market how can I tranfer all the virtual machine to a local data store for a new SAN? Can I stop the VM in the host, and then copy the DataStore files with all the info on the new volume?

  Thank you

  Alternatively, you can use VMware converter or cold Migration / Storage VMotion if you have the appropriate licenses.

• If you delete the free partner site, you can create a new one from scratch?

  Hi all

  So I just saw that a free partner site has been created for me and she seem to include all the features of BC on it (which is great!), the problem is it seems to have a default value of site of BC he likes when you publish your site regardless of the host, and they put their index by default on this subject until you load you own site. Then I tried to chat with a customer representative on this live chat option and he said I could not change the default template that comes to this subject. SO, what is the point to get this free site, if you cannot customize to your taste? THEN I thought, maybe if I delete the site it will give the possibility to create a new free site parter, but this time I'll be that choose the model and other configs. However, I'm afraid that if I delete the site, that's all, I won't be able to create a new partner free site and it and all of its features will be gone forever, that why I post here. Everyone how you can change an existing model does not place, or if you delete the free partner site that is given to you, you are able to create a new?

  Thank you

  Alex.

  Currently, there is not any way to assign a model on the partner site (for example, a model of BC) or one of the sites that sale models BC.

  The best method is to create a test site with the model you want to use, then copy the code on your partner site. You can easily change the files in the site to make it look like you want to only it.

• How can I create a virtual machine from an ISO?

  I just installed VMware ESXi 4.1.0 on a server and then downloaded the vSphere client to connect to the server. I created a Linux (Debian 5 64-bit) profile VM, but I have the ISO Linux file on my PC I have vSphere client installed on. How can I tell my new machine VM to boot from ISO which is glued on my PC? Is there a way I can browse my PC using the vSphere client or do I burn the ISO on a CD - R and the place physically in the CD-ROM on the host system so that I can start my Linux install?

  Thanks for any help!

  you will need to ensure that the ISO file is accessible to the ESXi host moving to a datastore VMFS or NFS dayastore which is accessible to the ESXi host - then follow the instructions here - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_vm_admin_guide.pdf on how to install forms an image - ISO
