You can dial space provisioned end back to a virtual machine after the fact in vCenter

I know you the converter stand-alone to get there, but I can't seem to do this in vCenter himself. Basically I have a model of Windows operating system that has a vDisk containing the boot partition thin value 100 GB provisioned. It is in fact only using a little less 15GB and I want to do this cut in half and make it thin 50 GB provisioned. What is the best way to do that is clean?

Alternatively, you can use vmware to the fret converter

  • You can create a view that filters (ESX host) Linux machines on the view of the Infrastructure?

    Hello

    We have recently implemented Foglight and VMware plugin. As part of the VMware plugin, Foglight pulls in all the Linux VM machines including the ESX host. Our team of Linux only manages the running redhat Linux hosts. They fail the ESX VM guest. That said, is there a way to create a view that shows only the hosts running redhat Linux?

    For example the view of rail infrastructure below contains 88 Linux machines, but nearly half of them are ESX hosts for our Linux team would not see all these. Is it possible to filter these?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Tony

    The easiest way would be to create a personalized, pair it with Infrastructure and then create a dynamic management component.  This will help create you a rule for "All hosts" where you can find just the hosts that are not of the ESX host and run Linux.

    The query would be:

    detail.topologyTypeName! = "VMWESXServer" & os.longName like «% Linux»

  • vROPs - you can create a report to show when a virtual machine has changed and what has changed?

    I can't currently developing a report/view that can show me what I'm looking for.  I thought since it's related capabilities vROPs can keep track.  Is there a way to see the when a virtual machine has changed and what has changed?  Looking mainly vdisk, vCPU or vRAM.

    Thanks for help or suggestions.

    Hi newbski1,

    There are few things you can try to help him with this.

    1. the events view shows you changes in resources, it is not terribly detailed, but it will help

    2. depending on your version, you can also view in Configuration Manager that is part of the vRO suite that will show you the changes to configurations.

    See you soon

  • How can I change my Notes desktop application on my Mac after the fact?

    When I upgraded to El Capitan earlier and has the opportunity to upgrade Notes when you open the application first, I chose do not update at that time.  Now, I want to update Notes and can't figure out how.  It doesn't seem to be an option to upgrade in the Notes application, as there is in the version of iOS.  I easily upgraded my iOS version on my phone today, but do not understand how to upgrade the version of office.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I don't think you have actually to say El Cap to upgrade to Notes. Your Notes on El Cap look like this (with all of the tools that I put the rectangle autour):

    If so, they are updated...

    See you soon,.

  • You can import a clip AE for first without going through After effects itself?

    You can import a clip AE for first without going through After effects itself? Or do I need to export the clip of Ae. and if I do I lose quality viable? I want to so other people working on my project, but they have that first.

    Thank you

    By their very nature, the "les «clips» clips" EI means that they have been exported.  So, according to their file format, they can be importable in PR. Lossless codecs are guaranteed to ensure no loss of quality when importing.

    If you mean an Ae composition, the dynamic link requires an installed version of Ae.  There is no loss of quality in a dynamic link.

  • Method to move the virtual machines in the data store temporary so I can rebuild pool recommended NFS

    Our current data store is a mounting NFS on Nexenta (zfs), which has a pool, I need to rebuild (migration of raidz2 to mirror striped for performance). Initially, I was relying on the judgment of all virtual machines, create a new pool, copy (cp - r) of the Nexenta console all virtual machines to the new pool, recreating the pool mirror and then copy (cp - r) all the data back.

    I have seen several discussions on this topic and seems like the simplest method would be to use the feature to "Migrate" so that the virtual machines are not fragmented. However in some of my pre-test when I copy a virtual machine between the basins of the Nexenta console it appears (from the data store Explorer) to initially create the vmdk provisioned and then once completed it copy looks too thin.

    I hope that I can simply copy the Nexenta console, using the option "Migrate" in vCenter on each of my 40 MV looks like it would be * quite * tedious compared to the simple issuance of an order of 'cp - r' and leave all the copies of VMs (1.5 to) during the night and then adding them to each host.

    Does anyone have experience with this? Or maybe a way to generate scripts easily (?) the option "migrate" in vCenter?

    Thank you all!

    You can select multiple VMs in vCenter regularly using CTRL + click or shift + click and both migrate them as long as they have the same storage destination.  You can also schedule it as a task.    Add manually each computer virtual back in hand is not less painful than migrating individually, anyway.

  • Can double-click is no longer on a virtual computer after update to Win 8.1 (on the Mac host)

    Hello

    We have VMWare Fusion Version 5.0.3 (1040386) running on a Mac Book Pro (Mountain Lion) with a Windows 8 VM, updated week last through the App Store to 8.1

    We have this problem on all our machines:

    1 open Windows Explorer, navigate to any 'virtual' folder (ie. a folder which is actually pointing to a folder on the Mac, for example My Documents).


    2. you can see everything, but you can't do anything with it. For example, double-click a file to open it and the application (for example, Notepad, Excel, whatever) does not start. The workaround, it is that you have to go to the physical folder on the Mac and open the file, then it will open the appropriate application of the virtual machine (and the file opens in the application). On VM Win8, it wasn't necessary, it has worked well for the virtual machine.

    3. you double-click any subfolder to open it either, you can never see the top level of the virtual machine.

    It seems that the behaviour of 'double click' is broken.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    OK, the solution to this problem is not double click, but sharing folders. VMware tools needs to be completely ONE installed, restart the virtual machine, and then reinstall the VMware tools.

    I also had to change the registry settings in Windows for VMWare tools first, because otherwise it could not be uninstalled.

    The steps to edit the registry are in this thread, the Zypher response:

    https://communities.VMware.com/thread/460232

    Changes to the registry, then select Virtual Machine in Fusion, the menu reinstall. This will cause the Tools CD-ROM mounted in the virtual machine (Windows 8.1 in my case). Ignore the guests that appear and instead, open Control Panel and choose to uninstall VMWare Tools. You must restart the virtual machine later. After the reboot, new Virtual Machine in Fusion menu goto and now select "install VMware Tools". You will need to logoff the VM at the end and reconnect again.

  • Cannot start the unique virtual machine after you have patched ESXi to 4.1.0 800830

    I patched a standalone ESXi host yesterday, leading a successful ESXi 4.1.0 800830 upgrade.

    The majority of my virtual machines started very well but it fails to start with the following error (as the specified file does not exist (?)). As I've not met it before, and I'm running out of time, anyone would offer nuggets of wisdom while I continue to trawl the web / these forums for a response?

    Can you browse the data store where is stored the than VM and check what files you see in the directory for this virtual machine? The error claimed that it cannot find a file of virtual disk for this virtual machine.

  • CLI can be used to assign AD accounts to virtual machines

    Hi, I am interested in the possibility to use the CLI to assign accounts Active Directory for VMs. currently there are 10 virtual machines created from a template and there are 22:00. 1 AD account is assigned to each of the virtual machines. They are used for training purposes. Virtual machines are then removed and repeat the procedure. Is it possible that I can attribute the AD account name to a particular virtual machine using the command line?

    Thank you

    You can use the new-vipermission to assign permissions to a virtual machine.

    new-vipermission -entity (get-vm SQL04) -principal "Mishchenko\dave.mishchenko" -Role "Admin"

  • How can access us the Client on a virtual machine on the host ESXi VI?

    Good afternoon, we are evaluating a virtualization solution, our company is small and we want only 3 servers to virtualize, and we want to use one of the virtual machines on the ESXi host, using the Client of VI, so we can use the keyboard and the screen of this server to access virtual machines. Our idea is to use this virtual machine as a workstation.

    Is this possible? or we use VMware server?

    Kind regards

    Cristian Fernández

    It is really not possible. Since the physical ESXi console, you will see only the menus and COS screens.

  • Can I convert a server disk to a virtual machine?

    I have a number of OS X 10.5 servers running on hardware that is incredibly underused.  Since the Fusion 3 supports running OS X Server virtualized, is it possible to convert a live server disk to a virtual machine to the BootCamp to VM? I could run all 5 of my server on a single Xserve systems. I dug around, but everything points to a new facility to achieve this.

    Thank you

    Tim

    Yes, it is possible to convert physical machines to Mac OS X Server VM. I've posted instructions on how to do this in the following thread: Re: Snow Leopard Server VM existing?

    In your case, the only thing that needs to change is the version of the OS - pick instead of 10.6 10.5. I tried this with one of my machines so far, I would be interested to comment on the question of whether instructions to work for you. I'll probably convert this post into a document at some point...

    I also thought the ability to hire only the OS X physical disk partitions without copying the data (like Fusion for Boot Camp). However, Fusion currently only supported the MBR partition tables to access raw partitions, and most Macs are partitioned GPT (or hybrid MBR + TPG). You can try to use Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/vmware-rawdiskCreator to see if it recognizes the OS X partitions. If so, you should be able to create a virtual disk that references the partitions and boot from it as you would for a machine virtual Boot Camp.

    It is also possible to use a physical disk full (instead of individual partitions), but you would need to have partitions not mounted before using virtual machines that reference the physical disks. If you are interested in, there is a link in this thread as well.
