• a guest to USB esx operating system mapping

  Hello.

  Simple questions.

  I have a box of esxi dismissed with local storage and a guest running operating system.

  is it possible to map scsi or USB connection card to the box of ESXi to control a tape drive. the guest operating system running backup exec and must connect to a physical tape drive.

  See you soon

  It is not an additional purchase if I'm not confused, you need to have a chipset with VT - d support.

• Customization of guest (in gray) operating system

  Hello

  I am to evaluate vCloud Director and try to import a virtual machine from a production environment to a catalog in the cloud.  Import works fine, but you can't adjust the tab to customize the operating system guest on the virtual machine that has been imported.  Everything is grayed and checked.  I'm not wanting to perform a particular customization comments on this virtual machine OS.  The VM info is as follows:

  Windows 2008 R2 standard

  Is there a setting somewhere to make this change happen.

  Virtual machines in the catalogue are immutable. If you want to change a property (such as comments customization), you need to copy it to my cloud, make change, copy him on the catalog and delete the old catalog model.

  To save the steps, I usually import things in my cloud (instead of import in the catalog), do my changes and then put it in the catalog.

• using VMrun to start/stop guest a linux operating system on a windows host

  We have a server windows server 2003 running vmware 2.

  the virtual machine is placed at "F:\Virtual Machines\server\SUSE.vmx"

  the comment system is a Suse linux.

  I'm trying to start and stop the guest OS, but I continue to not

  Here are the commands I tried:

  vmrun t h https://172.24.28.1:8333 / sdk Server - gu root - gp pwd start 'F:\Virtual Machines\server\SUSE.vmx '.

  vmrun t https://172.24.28.17:8333 / sdk h u root otrs Pei Server start "F:\Virtual Machines\server\SUSE.vmx".

  Error: Not sufficient permissions in the host operating system

  no idea what I am doing wrong?

  Do not use '-gu ' and '-gp "in this command.

  The syntax must be the following (on a Windows host):

  the departure of https:// h vmrun t server ' [storage name] WinXP/WinXP.vmx.

  Use "u Administrator" instead of "-u root" because you are on a Windows host.

• Using the guest host as operating system operating system

  When using VMware Server, if you install it on Server 2003, can use you your host operating system in your guest OS.  Or would you have to install another copy of it?

  Just trying to make sure I have good understanding.  If I install XP as a guest operating system, which is accessible remotely.  In addition, the same image can be created again and again or should I create a new serial numbers don't?  I'm fine with the purchase of new numbers of seria, but did not know how to create the guest operating system has worked.

  Consider each virtual machine comments as another computer.  So, everyone needs an operating system installed.  You can install the same host operating system, but it is a different facility.

  Microsoft allows you to use product keys Windows 4 ~ 5 times and then they will not activate them.  So if you remove an active Windows VM, that use of the key is lost.

  You may be able to copy a virtual machine already activated without having to re - activate, I'm not sure.  Like to do a clean install of Windows XP, activate and update, then copies of the virtual machine before you install additional software.

• vROPs and SRM - protected Machines and placeholder VMs have different guest free space operating system

  Hi all

  Question: Home - health - screen 'one or more machines virtual comments file systems are running out of disk space' has different values for MRS. protect VMs and VMs placeholder.

  Someone has to meet a gap with machines SRM protected value of free space of different OS comments that the position expressed VM?   I've been enforcing a cleaning of the guests with < 5% free space.  When we clean up the comments, the alert is cleared almost immediately on the VM protégé (power on), but the position expressed VM is never a present according to vROPs value.

  Is this a known issue? Is the problem with SRM or vROPs.  Are the vCenters related with MRS supported?

  I'm under vRops 6.2.0.3528905 build 3528905.  We use array based replication and have a GB link between sites.  Replication occurs in less than 5 minutes, so this shouldn't be a problem.  I can still see the question once a day and VMS space have yet to synchronize or to get close in value to their counterpart protect VM.

  Thank you

  Luis C.

  So after a discussion with the SRM team and vRealize Operations Manager, has identified vRealize treated VMs placeholder as ordinary VMs.   The interesting thing is that when a failover test is running that hard drives are connected to the VM placeholder.  All the information from disk are ingested in the vCenter site recovery.   Later this was my problem.  I had to open a feature request.  If any of you are in the same boat please do the same so they'll add logic in to MRS.   At the moment my solution was to create a dynamic group for turning off VMs and join the dynamic group to a policy with disabled alarms.

• ESX4i as a guest in ESX4i operating system? Creating the server virtual way.

  Last night I had a brilliant I could use our system of vSphere to implement an envirovment/laboratory test for the performance of virtual machines with vCenter and a few ESX4i.

  This way I could safetly test some features that would otherwise require an additional installation of equipment. There is almost nothing that should stop her (except the implementation of virtualization HW/CPU limits) because ESX emulates all the elements necessary for a 'normal' server, network, and shared storage. Putting aside the performance issue, I should be able to test a large number of other functionality of Vmware in this kind of installation.

  Those who have seen the film creation include what I mean (dream in a dream, esx in esx).

  I can't find any documentation on how this could be done and the search terms are too generic to search for on Google.

  My own tests show that ESX-installer stops with the vmfs3 module not loading during the startup process of installation without obvious reason.

  Does anyone do this? Any information on where to find the next?

  Is not a supported configuration, but it should work.  See nested running VMs.

• Log even when user login in the guest among other operating system terminals

  When user 1 uses (XYZ of AD id) and if the user 2 with the same id (XYZ) session logging 1 user disconnected

  Is it possible to not not at the end of the Session running

  If a user connects to a desktop via the view using the X credentials to connect to the server, no matter which other connection to that office through the view in the form X will be reconnected to the existing desktop which has a user session associated with X (even if the logon local VM is different) This is the designed behavior.

  If you try to set up a classroom style environment where everyone uses the same name of connection then floating pools you can assign sessions depending on both the device and the user credentials customer, you need to enable 'multiple connections by user' for the pool - that way user X on client B will not be connected to a desktop in use by user X customer A.

• Windows operating system online

  We had a problem yesterday where we needed to quickly get the status of all of our virtual Windows machines.  We needed and still need a way to identify quickly if the OS is up and running, not only if the customer is in a powered state.

  Most of our customers have "old tools" because we are in the process of upgrading to U4.  Our environment is 100% Windows.

  Can I report it on the guest easily online operating system?  If so, then at the end of the report can it be redirected in .xls or .csv format?

  vCenter 2.5.0U5

  ESX 3.5.0U3/U4

  Thanks in advance

  If I understand correctly the wire you want to be able to find customers who are turned on, but where the operating system does not work because it is not installed?

  The following example script will create a CSV file that reports on different types of States of all your guests.

  $report = @()
  Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine | %{
       $row = "" | Select VMname, PowerState, ToolsStatus, GuestHeartbeatStatus
       $row.VMname = $_.Name
       $row.PowerState = $_.Summary.Runtime.PowerState
       $row.ToolsStatus = $_.Guest.ToolsStatus
       $row.GuestHeartbeatStatus = $_.GuestHeartbeatStatus
       $report += $row
  }
  $report | Export-Csv "C:\VM-States.csv"
  

  If you look in the CSV file and select guests who have a powerstate of 'receiving' and a 'red' GuestHeartbeatStatus you find the guests you are looking for.

  If you want a script that reports that the guests, an if statements in the previous script will do the trick.

  $report = @()
  Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine | %{
       $row = "" | Select VMname, PowerState, ToolsStatus, GuestHeartbeatStatus
       $row.VMname = $_.Name
       $row.PowerState = $_.Summary.Runtime.PowerState
       $row.ToolsStatus = $_.Guest.ToolsStatus
       $row.GuestHeartbeatStatus = $_.GuestHeartbeatStatus
       if($row.PowerState -eq "poweredon" -and $row.GuestHeartbeatStatus -eq "red"){
            $report += $row
       }
  }
  $report | Export-Csv "C:\VM-States.csv"
  

  I hope that's what you're looking for?

• Guest operating system can play the sound by ESX?

  Is it possible to activate the sound of the guest operating system so that it can be heard through Center vitrual console?

• The VM startup slow down, delay long before the guest operating system begins startup

  Evaluation of VMWare to set up the VM for the maintenance of the software. Set up a virtual machine, install Windows 7 SP1 32-bit, everything works well. Once started, the performance is excellent.

  The symptom is that when you start the virtual machine, either starting from cold boot or suspend, there is a significant delay before the power of VMware on / start screen is displayed. Once it appears, the operating system starts starting (or the recovery of wakefulness) quickly and performance is normal after that. During the start-up period, the whole system is insensitive, host and guest operating system.

  See the extract of newspaper below to 09:54:28.619 moment where the delay occurs followed by the entry concerning 09:55:11.625 time when start continues, a delay of 43 seconds during which nothing seems to happen and the system does not respond. After that, everything is fast.

  Any ideas or suggestions?

  Hello

  I know what you want to say as I've seen sometimes as well. But especially on older hardware or if there are problems with regard to particular resources. For example I saw this on an ESX host (yes I know product different) where there was a problem with the storage not enough providing IOPS / s.

  I saw also this on older versions of Linux (IIRC 7) workstation where the host had an Atom based CPU, there I updated to more RAM and a more recent version of the workstation and the problem disappeared.

  Then I also saw it on the 4/5 merger when my host operating system was out of memory and I tried to start another operating system to prompt anyway.

  I do not consider a normal behavior for the slow start and does not respond, it is an indication that the hypervisor is seeking some resources, but does not receive them fast enough.

  The reasons can be many. Indeed things like antivirus could be biting you if she tries to analyze all files (including virtual disks) at their opening.

  FWIW, I also understand the support response as would be expected if your host is a bit thin on the resources (for example, trying to start a VM 1 GB on a host Win7 with only 3.5 GB of RAM) and if the virtual machine runs OK after the initial startup delay, it's mostly just an annoyance.

• Guest operating system upgrade

  Hello

  I did some searching on google but have not found answers to whether or not it is possible to update multiple operating systems using a built-in feature of VMWare. I use Workstation 8 and invited several OS running various flavors of Linux. I just wanted to know if I have to login to each guest and update manually or if there was a built-in feature of VMware. I fell on the Update Manager in my research, but it seems that this is only available with ESX and that comments patch is no longer supported in any case.

  Any information on this would be highly appreciated.

  Thank you

  VMware Workstation does not what to patch/update guests.

  You are right that VMware Update Manager used to include a comment update function that has been removed. In any case, it was only included with vCenter Server. The only VMware product that comes to mind is VMware vCenter Protect.
