You can synchronize a file to the virtual machine on two macbook pro

I have 2 macbook pro I synchronize files with every night. I want to keep the file of the virtual machine the same on both machines. If I run VMWare Fusion with this file to the virtual machine on a single machine, quit VMWare Fusion and then synchronize the file tonight, the other machine will be able to open it without additional configuration steps? Thanks for any help you can give me.

that would be copy very large files...

but I don't see any problem other than

Add
UUID.action = 'keep '.
to your file vmx to answer the question "did you copy or move you VM?" once for all time

    You can edit vmx file while the virtual machine is running? And is it safe?

    Hello

    Moved to the forum of the Virtual Machine and the guest operating system.

    If you edit the VMX while the virtual machine is powered on change is not levied until the power off then power on (not reboot) and there is a good chance that the change will be deleted when turn you off the system. So it is not safe to do so.

  • You can edit vmx files on multiple virtual machines in a cluster to allow changes of setting delay start via RCLI or Toolkit VI?

    You can edit vmx files on multiple virtual machines in a cluster to allow changes of setting delay start via RCLI or Toolkit VI? How?

    SAs desire a lead time of 10 seconds through the virtual company composed of several VCs with multiple data centers and clusters.

    Known: we can edit the .vmx file and add: bios.bootDelay = "10000" this adds stunted ms 10000 (10 seconds) when starting

    Known: we may have to re-register or some other mechanism to apply the changes to the start on the VMS settings

  • Path to the file on the virtual machine

    Hi people

    I am aware of VMRUN and would use call programs on the virtual computer and move files between the host and the guest.  I don't know exactly what it does good, nor how these virtual machines are actually structured, so I would like someone to clarify for me if it is even possible to have a host path to a file on the client VM.

    For example, I use scripts from my Mac that do a lot of editing on the side of the virtual Windows machine - is there is a way, I can use to refer to and modify a file on the virtual machine without using VMRUN.

    Thank you very much!

    Mirroing is a little difficult, I don't think that anything that is either duplicated with shared folders.  What happens is the Windows to the Documents, music, path is set to a UNC path (vmware-host\), which is served by the VMware HGFS file system, a mechanism for sharing private with OS X.  In OS X, just the files live in any directory is shared.  But that's what you say, a place with several shared paths.

    For SMB sharing, sharing so once mounted on your Mac, OS X uses a SMB client to Yes go on the network to access files in your guest VM files standard Windows.  All traffic is host only, unless the virtual machine is filled and you use the Wifi connection, in which case the traffic can "bounce" the point of wireless as a jump.  There are ways to optimize the network path, so all traffic is strictly host only.

    I have not benchmarked HGFS v. SMB, but there is a "tax" anyway compared to the opening of the VM file on its file system local.  For your use case, it is probably useful to check the two options.

  • Is it necessary that the guest OS to support SSD if the file of the virtual machine is placed on an SSD?

    Dear,

    I have a plan to set up a file of the virtual machine on an SSD. The host system is windows 10 (on an other SSD, I'll use 2 SSD), it should support the SSD very well.  Then comes the question: should I also install an OS that needs support also guest SSD?

    My opinion is it does not matter since the disk i/o operation is made by host operating system, it is the host operating system which finally determin whick block data will be published (optimization of the disk).

    Am I wrong? Thank you.

    Sorry for the enigmatic answer...

    In your case, the answer is Yes: he cares about the type of media, while the virtual disk is a vmdk (virtual material treaty) and placed in an SSD.

    There are a few cases where you might use a physical disk directly to the virtual machine (called peripheral raw disk or RDM in vSphere environment).

  • Not able to add the snapshot file to the virtual machine

    We have Win 2003 virtual machine running on ESXi 4.0.0 261974. The virtual machine has two vmdk files. We had taken the snapshot a few days back and today by mistake, we have removed one of the vmdk (DB - srv - 000001.vmdk - snapshot file). Now, we are not able to add the snapshot file to the virtual machine. When tried to add the existing vmdk, it displays only the source disk (DB - srv.vmdk). Please, help us to solve this problem.

    The GUI allows only adding the base vmdk. To add the Flash disk, you must manually change the vmx file. Registrations for the formerly removed virtual disk could still exist in the vmx file with... .present = "FALSE". After changing the vmx file you must reload the configuration. To do this, remove the VM of the inventory and add it back again (right-click on the vmx file).

  • Script to change the name of the file to the virtual machine and its associated files

    Hello

    I'm looking for a script to change the name of the virtual machine in virtual center and also change it has associated file names in the data store to match file name of virtual machine. But the vmdk file will contain a descriptor which maps the - flat.vmdk file. So not sure that we can achieve this through a script.

    Thanks in advance!

    Not really as much as I know.

    The advantage of the svMotion is renamed it the files (.) VMX, VMDK,...) For you.

    The only alternative would be the command line. See Duncan Howto: renaming a virtual computer.

    With the help of the plink.exe tool which could possibly be scripted.

  • Generate the CSV file to the virtual machine by using get-stat statistics

    Hi all

    I put my VC for taking samples every 5 minutes for 3 days.

    I would create a PowerCLI script that I can then run on an ad hoc basis to connect to my VC and to get the details for ALL of the virtual machines that are managed by this CR and fill in a CSV (c:\foo.csv):

    • Name of the virtual machine

    • The ESX VM host is currently sitting

    • total number of virtual processors assigned to VM

    • total memory allocated to the VM

    • memory active average used by the virtual machine in the 3 days using samples of 5 minutes

    • average mhz CPU used by VM spent 3 days using samples of 5 minutes

    I have attached a sample file XLS of CSV output should look like.

    If anyone can give me a code to achieve or get on well on my way, I would appreciate it a lot.

    Kind regards

    Alex

    OK, so what you want is something like this then?

    Get-VM | Where {$_.PowerState -eq "PoweredOn"} |
     Select Name, Host, NumCpu, MemoryMB,
               @{N="Cpu.UsageMhz.Average";E={[Math]::Round((($_ | Get-Stat -Stat cpu.usagemhz.average -Start (Get-Date).AddHours(-72) -IntervalMins 5 -MaxSamples (12) | Measure-Object Value -Average).Average),2)}},
               @{N="Mem.Usage.Average";E={[Math]::Round((($_ | Get-Stat -Stat mem.usage.average -Start (Get-Date).AddHours(-72) -IntervalMins 5 -MaxSamples (12) | Measure-Object Value -Average).Average),2)}}
    

    I think that the issue that you have with the missing stat might be to do with your logging levels in VC, if these are not set correctly it will not save these stats for this period of time.

    What do you get if you do a simple:

    get-vm "SingleVM" | Get-Stat -Stat cpu.usagemhz.average
    

    If you found this information useful, please consider the allocation of points for correct or helpful.

    • Attempts to perform live storage vMotion of virtual machines with RDM disks can fail
      Storage vMotion of virtual machines with RDM disks can fail and virtual machines can be considered in turned off of the State. Attempts to turn on the virtual machine fails with the following error:

  • To access the virtual machines of two different hosts

    Greetings,

    I have a question that I can't find the answer to. I am setting up a virtual machine environment small and need to better understand the architecture behind it.

    2 host servers

    1 iSCSI Equallogic San (target)

    I have installed 35i ESX and runnning on two physical hosts. .205 et.206

    I created a data store on my SAN to host my 'model' VM.

    De.205, I can see the data on the SAN network store and browse the virtual machine I (using VMConverter) moved there.

    De.206, I can see the data store on the SAN, but when I sail, I do not see the same information. I see no. VM.

    MY understanding is that using the SAN to store the virtual machine and that I would make the hosts of this data store to run the virtual machine. But the way in which it seems that I have the virtual machine configured on both hosts, always pointing the data store on the San but again using converter, copy de.205 vers.206.

    What don't understand me or that I don't understand.

    Your help is appreciated.

    Welcome to the VMware community forums.   If you have configured things Ok, you will be able to browse the data from these two hosts store and see the same content.  You can register the virtual computers on both hosts.  For an existing VM on the host from 1, you find the data on the host of the 2nd store, right-click on the VMX file and select Add to the inventory.  Have you thought to vcenter server?  It's going to do it is a lot easier.
