• Can I just create a virtual machine with the installation of operating system and Application in an external drive?

  People,

  Hello. I use VMPlayer to install virtual machines a few OS in my laptop.

  Because my laptop's hard drive space is not enough to create a VM more to install Oracle Linux and its Application, can I just create a virtual machine in my laptop and then install Oracle Linux and its Application in an external USB disk?

  You can create and save the Virtual Machine in any place that you have read & write access to and enough space to support what is being installed.

• VCenter as a virtual machine with a switch of vDistributed running

  Someone at-it no contribution, experience or thoughts about vCenter running as a virtual machine on UCS/vSphere 5, where the instance of vCenter is used as the point of integration of UCSM and the VM on vCenter is running is connected to the vDistributed switch (h/l VN-link) who is Manager of UCSM and vCenter?

  It sounds risky, but is it plausible? I have to use a regular for connectivity vSwitch if I want to virtualize vCenter?   Currently, we run vCenter standalone host outside of the virtual environment, that it manages.

  My personal preference is to place the VM vNIC on a standard vSwitch vCenter. The reasoning is while is no matter what going side with the distributed switch (vmware, ucsm or N1KV). vCenter connectivity would not be affected and you would be able to solve the problem more efficiently.

  We usually put SQL on the vCenter VM as well.

  Out the standard configuration is the following, and it worked very well with zero problems.

  2 for management and vCenter VM vNIC UCS - these 2 are sent to standard vSwitch0

  2 UCS vNIC for vMotion - these 2 are transmitted in standard vSwitch1 but configure the NIC teaming/failover so that vMotion traffic remains on 1 interconnection fabric or the other.

  2 for traffic VM vNIC UCS - these 2 are transmitted to a distributed switch VMware or UCSM (VM - FEX) or N1KV.

• How can I create a simple virtual machine with the CD in a newWorkflow

  I created a new workflow with simple virtual machine and added a cdrom workflow but an error is shown.

  How can I reuse of so that the new created VM add a new cdrom in a workflow

  

  Help me please

  First of all, you only need a single attribute of type VC:VirtualMachine, not two as in the screenshot. You don't need to specify its value; When the first workflow completes, its output should be attributed to this attribute, and then the assigned value must be passed as input to the second workflow.

  To check/edit links, open the first workflow to change, go to the 'Visual links' tab and make sure the workflow output is line connected to the attribute. Do the same for the second workflow, and then make sure that the attribute is connected to the line to the corresponding input parameter.

  Take a look at the workflow attached if you don't know how the maps should look like.

• I can't power on a virtual machine (with linked disks) after the addition of new hosts of Lab Manager

  ENVIRONMENT

  -Lab Manager 3 using VC 3.5

  -Initially the 2 hosts in a cluster and managed by LM

  -Added new cluster with 2 new hosts in VC

  -Two bunches pointing to the same NFS storage

  PROBLEM

  -When you try to turn on a computer in new cluster, I get a "requested file" "not found" error

  RESULTS

  -This seems to happen only when creating a virtual machine that has virtual disks of parent; most of our VMS is linked clones

  -When you look at the log file, please see attachment, we found the following:

  It is the location of the new virtual machine in the new host:

  /vmfs/volumes/fabdf38d-beff047d/LMW2K3/2909/002909-T_XP_SP3_32b.VMDK

  When you look at the hard, it points to the parent disk, but it seems that it does not:

  /vmfs/volumes/6586c772-53eee1bb/LMW2K3/2904/002904-T_XP_SP3_32b.VMDK

  Please note th volumen IDS are different and can not get the disc parent of the new machine.

  SOLUTIONS?

  Thank you

  Jose

  You should immediately stop using the new hosts otherwise creating new virtual machines can spoil the vmdk channels. Try http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1005930.

• List of virtual machines with static IP

  VMware gurus,

• You can install Windows on a Mac without an optical drive

  Hey, I have a Mac end 2011 a friend gave to me and he said it was broken. I realized that it was just the SATA port on the motherboard, so I pulled out the optical drive and I put an SSD in it. Now I want to install Windows but Mac says that I am not allowed to because I don't have an optical drive. I tried Abu tools and many other shippers of EFI boot, but none of them does not seem to work! Please help me fast! I am computer LITERATE, so no response even if it is complicated would be very useful. THX

  You can run Windows in a virtual machine, which saves having to restart to Boot Camp. This allows you to access boot Windows and Mac OS.

• Doubts about sound in the virtual machine with w2k3

  Hi all

  I have the following question on the sound:

  • In my lab I have an ESXi 4.1 without sound card.
  • I create a virtual with Windows Server 2003 computer.
  • When I connect to my VM via Remote Desktop, I hear the typical sound of logon of windows acroos the speakers of my laptop. Why, if my VM doesn't have a sound card?
  • What kind of sound can reproduce via Remote Desktop if the server has no sound card?
    

  If anyone can clarify on this, I'll be very grateful

  Thank you

  Hello febsa

  The virtual machine with W2003 used your computer speakers.

  What kind of sound can reproduce via Remote Desktop if the server has no sound card? Only the default Windows 2003 sounds

  
  

• where and how much Vcenter must be installed? as a virtual machine or physical host? -config is 2xESXi40 - CX4 - 120 1xEMC2 - DAS mode

  "BEST PRACTICE RECOMMENDATION.

  I work with 1 ESXi40 in DAS mode very good and everything is fine.

  I have still a few servers production of Phisical aditional to be virtualized, but before that

  We cultivate our virtual infrastructure by adding a second Esxi40 and installing the Virtual Center software and license to use HA, Vmotion, etc..

  the questions and the thing is, if I'm migrating all my hosts physic to the VMs system, do I need a new physical server to install Virtual Center, yes or no.

  and why?

  If this is not the case, the Vcenter can be virtualized, and what is the best practice to do this.

  which of the following configuration might be valid, the best recommendation and why and why not.

  (a) create 1 Vcenter VM, located in a data store on the hard drive that comes a host of Esxi40

  (b) create 1 Vcenter VM, created storage located in a data store that comes from the CX4-120, and the group contains 1 ESXi40 physical host

  (c) create 1 Vcenter VM, created storage located in a data store that comes from the CX4-120, and the group contains 2 ESXi40 physical hosts

  (d) create 2 Vcenter VW, created storage located in a data store that comes from the CX4-120, and the group contains 1 ESXi40 physical host

  (c) create 2 Vcenter VM, located in a data store that comes from the CX4 - 120, ahd, the storage group created containds 2 ESXi40 physical hosts

  Thank you

  MC.

  You're too complicate things...

  Do the vCenter as a virtual machine, which gives the requirements for processors, RAM, etc... Place it on a data store available to BOTH hosts. In fact, I would make sure that ALL s LUN where sit all VM are available for BOTH ESXi servers.

  I recommend also using a full SQL Server for the db, is not using SQL Express. If you have a SQL 2005 server, use it. If you want to future proof, vCenter things, put on a 64 bit OS (so you're ready for vCenter 4.1 and ESXi 4.1). Having the SQL database on a real SQL Server (other than the server vCenter Server/VM) makes things a lot easier on the road...

• vCenter shows all virtual machines and the host is disconnected

  Hello

  I have a two nodes in the cluster ESXi6 U2 (recently updated to 5.5) running on hp dl380p gen8. For some reason all the virtual machines are running on host A (HA and DRS are enabled).  vCenter shows all virtual machines and host A is disconnected. Cannot connect to A host using vSphere client or web client. Cannot vMotion the VMs. Impossible to activate SSH. Connection DCUI works very well. Cannot perform any action VM

  All virtual machines are in place are running at this point. I don't want to restart the virtual machines. Can you help me please?

  Thank you

  AJ

  Frozen screen DCUI came back to life. The active SSH access, killed the running process. The host of running backs.

  See you soon,.
