Read this topic to understand how to installvMX with the VMware vSphere Web Client using OVA files.

Installing vMX with OVA Files

vMX supports different physical PCI devicessuch as SR-IOV and VMXNET3. The procedure in this sectionis specific to VMXNET3 devices. See Enabling SR-IOV for VMware for informationto bring up vMX with SR-IOV NICs.

Vmx file on the ESXI Hypervisor? I can't seem to locate a way via the VSphere client I have installed. I am familiar with 2012 Hyper-v, ESXI and Vsphere are.

Note

If you are running vMX in performance mode, you must changethe VM hardware version to 10.

To install vMX with the VMware vSphere Web Client usingOVA files:

  1. Download the vMX software package for VMware from the vMX page and uncompress the package in a location accessible to the server.
  2. Launch the vSphere Web Client for your ESXi server andlog in to the server with your credentials.
Note

You must set up these three interfaces to launch the VFP.

  • Management access

  • Bridge for internal communication between the VCP andVFP

  • WAN interface (minimum of one)

To install vMX with vSphere for VMXNET3 adapters,perform these tasks:

Setting Up the Datastore

  1. Click the Browse Datastore.
  2. In the Datastore Browser, click the Upload File, and upload the files for the packagecontents listed in vMX Package Contents.

Setting Up the Network

To set up the different networks for management (br-ext),internal connection of the VMs (br-int), and WAN ports for data:

  1. In the left navigation pane, select the ESXi server andclick the Networking under Hardware.
  2. In the top right corner, click
  3. For Connection Type, select the Next.
  4. For Network Access, scroll down and select the Next.
  5. For Connection Settings, name the network Next
    6. .

This network is connected to the management port (for example,vmnic0), which has a management IP address.

  • In the top right corner, click
  • For Connection Type, select the x), and click br-int and click Add networking to add another vSwitch for the WAN port (p2p1).
    1. For Connection Type, select the Next.

      The link is up as indicated by 10000Full.

    2. For Connection Settings, name the network Add networking
     to add another vSwitch for the WAN port (p2p2).
    1. For Connection Type, select the Next.

      The link is up as indicated by 10000Full.

    2. For Connection Settings, name the network
    3. In the Configuration tab for Networking, click Edit at the bottom.
    4. In the vSwitch Properties dialog box, select OK.

    Deploying the VCP VM

    To deploy the VCP VM using .ova files:

    1. Select the host and select File menu.
    2. In the Source pane, click Next.
    3. In the OVF Template Details pane, click Next.
    4. In the Storage pane, select the appropriate datastorefor the destination storage of the VM and click Thick ProvisionLazy Zeroed option button and click Next.

    5. In the Ready to Complete pane, verify your configurationand click
    6. Select the host and select File menu.
    7. In the Source pane, click Next.
    8. In the OVF Template Details pane, click Next.
    9. In the Storage pane, select the appropriate datastorefor the destination storage of the VM and click Thick ProvisionLazy Zeroed option button and click Next.

    10. In the Ready to Complete pane, verify your configurationand click
    11. In the left navigation pane, select the VM and and right-click OK.
    12. To change the number of vCPUs, select CPUs in the Hardwaretab of the Virtual Machine Properties window. Change the number ofvirtual sockets and click Add in the Hardwaretab of the Virtual Machine Properties window. The Add Hardware wizardis displayed.

      1. For Device Type, select Next.
      2. For Network connection, select the adapter type (for example,VMXNET3), select the network connection (for example, p2p1 or p2p2),and click Finish.
      Click
    13. Select the VFP VM in the left navigation pane and right-click Power > Power On.
    Note

    You must shut down the vMX instance before you reboothost server using the request system halt command.

    Today’s post is titled Find Virtual Machine Configuration File Path using Powercli. I was recently working with a customer whose task was to find out how to perform a sanity check of the datastores within the vSphere environment.

    The reason behind this task was that many of the Virtual Machines were removed from inventory and the customer was not sure on how to clear up the datastores. Ouino french the 5-in-1 complete collection.

    So, he was looking for an easy way to find out the list of VMs that were currently registered to the vCenter Server and the path to the Virtual Machine configuration file so that he doesn’t delete the files that were associated with the VMs already registered.

    DescriptionTroubleshoot USB, Wi-Fi, network, LAN, camera, fingerprint and Bluetooth issues of Dell Precision M4600 notebook with latest drivers free download for Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 OS. Dell m4600 audio drivers.

    Normally, you would go to the Virtual Machine settings and from the options tab to find the path of the Virtual Machine Configuration file.

    Now doing this for one or two VMs is fine, but performing this step manually for all the VMs in the inventory can be a painful task.

    Hence, I decided to a small function that will help you select a Virtual Machine and provide the Display Name and the path to its configuration file.

    If you like an easy way to this, then below is the one-liner which will list all the VMs with the config file path.

    Get-VM select Name,@{E={$_.ExtensionData.Config.Files.VmPathName};L=”VM Path”}

    You can find the function that I have written below.

    [CmdletBinding()]
    [Parameter(
    ValueFromPipeline=$true,
    [String[]]$VMName
    Get-VM$VMNameselectName,@{E={$_.ExtensionData.Config.Files.VmPathName};L='VM Path'}

    So, there are a couple of ways that you can run this function. The first one is to directly call the function and provide the parameter which accepts the VM name.

    Get-VMConfigFile VCSA65-A

    The second is to pipe the output of Get-VM cmdlet to the function.

    Get-VM VCSA65-B Get-VMConfigFile
