I am trying to change the memory of a vm like this:
$newvalue = 64;
$mem = $sdkVm->getVirtualMemory();
$vq = $mem->getVirtualQuantity();
$vq->set_valueOf($newvalue);
$mem->setVirtualQuantity($vq);
$sdkVm->modifyVirtualMemory($mem);
what I get on an export if I do:
$mem = $sdkVm->getVirtualMemory();
$vq = $mem->getVirtualQuantity();
$vq->set_valueOf($newvalue);
$mem->setVirtualQuantity($vq);
$xmlstr = $mem->export();
echo $xmlstr;

Backup best practices in a SAN environment
Hello,
Can somone please tell me the best way to do backups using VEEAM in a SAN environment with 3 hosts and 2 arrays with the VMWare Standard Acceleration Kit? I'd prefer not to purchase another device to back up to and I definitely want backups to both the LAN and Cloud. I'm planning on implementing a full 10GB solution. Let me know if you need any more info!
Thanks,
T

Re: AutoDeploy plugin 5.1 just not working...
I got the answer. When I edited the /etc/vmware-rbd/httpd/httpd.conf file, I did it as root. This changed the permissions on it, and the "deploy" user couldn't read it. I did chmod 666 httpd.conf, restarted AutoDeploy, and it works.

New to vmware and vSphere rolling out ESXI 5.1 looking for recommendations/advice
Hi all new to the site just purchased 2 Dell PowerEdge R720 servers with internal storage of (6)500GB Drives configured at RAID5(no SAN) and 128GB of RAM. We are planning on running Windows Server 2012 with Role of AD and then an additional Windows 2012 Server with Role of Terminal Server to use for publishing RemoteApps to our end users and file storage. The end users will be using Microsoft Office apps solely and housing their documents on the server.
1. Am I better off installing ESXI on an SD card and leaving the entire internal storage for my VM's?
2. As far as replication of my VM's for DR is the vsphere replication appliance suffice or should I be looking at a different product?
3. Any other advice that can be given would greatly be appreciated.
Thank you all and have a great day...

Re: Migrate VM's between vCenter 4.0 and vCenter 5.1
Linked-mode won't work as two vCenter servers' version and build number should match.
Even it works, vMotion between two different vCenter servers doesn't work!
I would recommend you to use a software called VMware Converter (this is free). It works best if you could power-off the virtual machine.

Re: Creating Datastore in mirrored hard drives?
Which RAID Controller do you have in the system? The Entry models are shipped with the B110i software RAID controller, which is not supported by ESXi. Other models (Base, Performance) come with the P410 controller which is supported, but make sure it has BBWC (battery backed write cache) for good disk performance.

Re: Inicio automatico de vms en workstation 8 linux
If I correctly understand* you want to start automatically VMs when you start VMware Workstation, or start VMware Workstation with a number of VMs automatically upon login ? Either way you might need a script for that.

Re: Scripting the documentation of about 100 ESX servers
Without a vCenter server, you will probably have to create an input file with the hostname, username and password.
I would recommend the following.
Input (esxi.csv):
Name,Username,Password
test1.test.com,username,password
test2.test.com,username,password
test3.test.com,username,password
Script (make sure the input file, esxi.csv is in same directory with the script):
$output = foreach ($esxi in Import-Csv esxi.csv)
{
Connect-VIServer -User $esxi.Username -Password $esxi.Password -Server $esxi.Name
Get-VMHost -Name $esxi.Name | Select-Object @{N="ESXi";E={$_.Name}},
@{N="Management IP";E={$_.ExtensionData.Summary.ManagementServerIP}},
@{N="Virtual Machine";E={[string]::Join(",", ($_ | Get-VM | %{$_.Name}))}}
}
Disconnect-VIServer * -Confirm:$false
$output | Export-Csv output.csv
Sample Output:
esxtst01.test.com 443 root
ESXi : esxtst01.test.com
Management IP : 10.1.1.1
Virtual Machine : test1,test2,test3,test4
esxtst02.test.com 443 root
ESXi : esxtst02.test.com
Management IP : 10.1.1.2
Virtual Machine : test5,test6,test7,test8
Hope this helps,
Steven.

Have you by chance completely filled a disk? Look at df output. You may need to wait a long time for it to run.

Re: Migrate VM's between vCenter 4.0 and vCenter 5.1
Install new 5.1 VC
add 4.0 hosts ,
Migrate VM's to 5.1 hosts
Should have identical hardware or should have EVC enabled
Should have common datastore across the hosts
If not you take a down time to the VM;s , remove VM;s from 4.o VC and add it to 5.1 hosts, VC.

Re: New to vmware and vSphere rolling out ESXI 5.1 looking for recommendations/advice
Installation of esxi in SD card is supported and you can create a VM and place in a local storage with NO redundancy also you cannot avail features like HA,DRS, etc
↧
Re: Edit etc/hosts still recommended?
As said only HA requires name resolution and till 4.x we used to edit the host entries . If we have a DNS configured for the host, then the names for the hosts/client can be resolved by the server

Hi WoodyZ
Yes, after delete vmss file I could boot the OS.
But every time resume was failed after suspend.
I want to use suspend and resume function.
Sorry I couldn't tell my expectation.
