Resize VM System Disk

Method 2 – Using Vmware Converter (http://www.vmware.com/download/converter/) to shrink or extend a disk

When you use Converter to copy a VM it will transfer the data to the destination server by one of two ways. If you do not change the disk size or increase the size of your original disks then it does a block level clone of the drive. If you reduce the size of your original disks it instead does a file level clone of the drive.

• Download and install Converter on the VM that you want to resize the drives, reboot after the install completes
• Start Converter application, click the Import Machine button
• Click Next at the Welcome screen and then Next again at the Source screen
• Select ‘Physical Computer’ and click Next o Select “This Local Machine” and click Next
• At the Source Data screen select your volumes and change “Maintain Size” to “Type Size in GB” and enter your new disk size and click Next
• At the Destination screen click Next
• Select “Import this machine to a Vmware ESX Server or VirtualCenter virtual machine” and click Next
• At the Destination login screen, select your ESX/VC server and enter the login information and click Next
• At the Virtual Machine Name and Folder screen enter a new name for your VM and select a folder and click Next
• At the Host or Cluster screen select a host for your destination and click Next
• At the Datastore screen, select a datastore and click Next
• At the Networks screen, configure your NICs and click Next
• At the Customization screen, click Next
• Click Finish and the conversion will begin
• Once the Conversion is complete, edit the new VM settings and remove any extra hardware that Converter adds (USB/serial/parallel ports, etc.)
• Shutdown your original source VM and power on your new destination VM
• Make sure everything is functioning properly on the new VM and you can delete the original VM

change esx host ip adress

Changing the IP address of service console in ESX 3.x Damian Murdoch comes through again, this time, helping us change the IP address of the service console in VMware's ESX Server 3.x. If you want to change the IP address of the service console in ESX 3.x you can using a command in the service console. To change the IP address of the ESX 3.x host, you need to change the configuration of the vswif. By default this is vswif0 and this is assumed in this document. Login to the service console with root permissions, either by using root or doing a su - to get the permissions. Once in the service console runt the command "esxcfg-vswif -d vswif0". This command deletes the existing vswif0. Don't worry if you get a message about nothing to flush. Then you need to run the command to change the ip address, subnet mask and broadcast address. They are also specified in that order when the command is given. An example command is below. "esxcfg-vswif -a vswif0 -p Service\ Conso...

SSH Connect für root auf VMWare ESX

SSH Security SSH is a commonly used UNIX and Linux command shell that lets you remotely log in to the service console and perform certain management and configuration tasks for ESX Server 3. SSH is used for secure logins and data transfers because it offers stronger protection than other command shells. In this ESX Server 3 release, the SSH configuration is enhanced to provide a higher security level. Key features of this enhancement include: Version 1 SSH protocol disabled – VMware no longer supports Version 1 SSH protocol and uses Version 2 protocol exclusively. Version 2 eliminates certain security issues present in Version 1 and provides you with a safer communications interface to the service console. Improved cipher strength – SSH now supports only 256‐bit and 128‐bit AES ciphers for your connections. Limits on remote logins as root – You can no longer remotely log in as root. Instead, you log in as an identifiable user and either use the sudo command to execute specific opera...

W2K3 SBS als Member Server nutzen

So kann man das mit dem PDC umgehen: Windows 2003 SBS fährt nach 60 min herrunter wenn dieser nicht als PDC eingerichtet wird. So kann dies umgangen werden: - Von www.sysInternals.com Process Explorer runterladen. - Process Explorer starten - sbscrexe.exe rechts Mausklick auf den Process und “Suspend” auswählen. - Regedit und suche den Punkt: HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/SBCore - Gehe mit der rechten Maustaste auf diesen Eintrag und gib der Gruppe Administrator und System Voll Zugriff (die Vererbung berücksichtigen - Den Wert in "Start" von 2 auf 4 ändern - im Explorer die Rechte von C:\WINDOWS\system32\sbscexe.exe ändern > jeder darf nichts - nun im Process Explorer sbscrexe.exe killen. nach einem Neustart sollte dieser Dienst nicht mehr gestartet sein. Jetzt kann der SBS "normal" genutzt werden.
