2 host ESXi più storage thanks problema HA Cluster

• ESXi 5 storage connectivity problems

  When I was setting up our infrastructure to vsphere 2 years ago I did everything according to the "best practices" (Netapp, VMWare and Cisco).

  I had 2 4.0 hosts and I implemented the storage network (NFS and iSCSI) as an EtherChannel on one side of the switch Cisco and active NIC and IP HASH in a side ESXi load balancing.

  Now, I just added 2 more than 5.0 hosts, reclassified vCenter to 5 and wanted to set up the new host for storage, but that is the problem.

  Somehow ESXi5 let me use exactly the same configuration, I can't have 2 active adapters on both ESX and for this reason, I can't use hash IP in this vSwitch load balancing.

  So, how am I suppose to add Stoarge to the new ESXi5?

  EtherChannel is no supported network storage more on ESXi5?

  If I have to stop using EtherChannel on the CISCO site that will break my conection of storage for the two production hosts ESXi 4.

  Any input appreciated.

  Thank you

  Add maps via the iSCSI GUI software is ports VMKernel will link individual (and usually multiple) of a single software iSCSI initiator.  "It's the GUI version of ' esxcli swiscsi nic add n d .

  To configure this for vSphere 5, VMkernel port NIC grouping settings must be configured as described in the error.

  If you choose to not explicitly link VMkernel ports the software initiator, let the empty Network Configuration tab, and the VMkernel routing table automatically chooses an appropriate VMKernel port to connect.  According to your description, this is how your environment vSphere 4 is set up.

• Add new host esxi 5.1 for the existing cluster of vcenter

  Hello

  I would like to add a new host Virgin esxi 5.1 to an existing cluster from the vcenter. What are the things that I have to preconfigure on the host before add you it? I configured the network already, storage will be implemented when I add it to the cluster, right?

  So, what I ended up doing was just set up time, networking and dns. I then added the host while he was in maintenance mode. I have a Compellent SAN storage and im using a folder in compellent to map all my Lun, then I can just add a new host in this folder, and it will automatically map all volumes to the newly added host once I go into vmware and make a new analysis on the FC HBA host (do FC fabric SW zoning first of course). I then added a file .locker on one of my SAN LUNS scrach location/newspapers. She's.

• How to reach esxi host 5 on storage area network

  I have a Dell PS6000E on my network.  I would like to create a volume on it and use it as a shared storage for a new configuration of esxi5 with 2 hosts.  The PS6000 already contains 2 volumes in use by other servers (physical).  To access the PS6000 via my regular local network hosts.  Is this possible, and is there a documentation on how to put in place?

  Thank you

  Welcome to the community - I guess you access the PS6000E are configured for iSCSI or NAS/NFS, you will be able to access as shared storage long ESXi hosts can reach the unit. Because ESXi hosts will not be able to share the LUNS in use by other servers, you're going to create a new LUN for ESXi hosts. This storage of ESXi - http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-50-storage-guide.pdf - guide that has information on how to configure your ESXi servers to access the storage.

• Communication with a host esxi 4.1 problem

  Hi, Hello, we have a problem with an esxi host.

• Three hosts ESXi and two Clusters VSA

  Is it possible / is there a problem with it?  I know a single cluster VSA is designed to work with two or three nodes, but is it possible to have two clusters VSA on three nodes (one of the three nodes would be two VSA groups on both nodes at the same time).  I know there is a limitation that requires an instance of vCenter by VSA cluster, but I was unable to find mention of this type of configuration.

  Thank you.

  When the VSA cluster is created, a single VSA appliance is installed on each host ESXi (2 or 3 ESXi hosts) of the VSA cluster.  The VSA appliance uses local storage of the ESXi server. If you try to create an another cluster of VSA, it won't use an ESXi server that is already a member of a cluster of VSA.  In other words, a single VSA device can be installed on a server ESXi.

• CX3-20: host in several storage groups?

  Hi all

  What is the trick? I have all the storage groups created on our SAN access to our server VCB (Virtual Consolidated Backup of VMware).

  The problem is that our Clarion EMC Cx3-20 allow us only to add a host to a storage group.

  If I want to connect the VCB server to a different storage group, I get a prompt saying (in Navisphere):
  AMS - back.corp.com: this host is already connected to a different storage group. Connection to the current storage group will be be disconnected from the other storage group. This will cause the host unable to access the LUNS that are in the other storage group.

  VCB server must see all LUNS, can advise you?
  Thank you

  
  

• host ESXi 4.1 to 5.5 upgrade

  Hi all, hope this helps.

  I installed a new 5.5 vcenter and always running a vcenter 4.1, running both at the same time, I have migrated a crowd of 4.1 through to my platform of 5.5 and want to update the host to 5.5 (I have a license), my question is, will this affect my other storage on the san, other hosts on 4.1 run here , and I do not wish to upgrade this one 5.5 if it will affect the other storage on the old vcenter (things always work) he seem quite simple to do, but not sure about that something and can not afford to make the mistake with the old esx environment...

  You can upgrade the host ESXi 4.1 managed by vCenter 5.5 without problems. For more safety, unplug the host HBA when you perform the upgrade if you use CF. If I understand correctly, both the upgrade to 5.5 ESXi and ESXi 4.1 hosts existing use same data warehouses. The only drawback I see is after the upgrade to 5.5 ESXi host, do not improve data warehouses of VMFS3 to VMFS5 so as not to affect the environment 4.1 existing.

• New host ESXi 5.1 in DMZ - cannot connect through vCenter Client or web, but can via SSH, if I have activated

  We have a simple DMZ where I set up a host running ESXi 5.1. I have another windows server in the DMZ subnet and I can load the new ESXi her host's web site. From my PC in our LAN I can not pull the top web interface 5.1 ESXi or connect via vSphere Client. If I enable SSH on the new host, can I use Putty to connect to the new host ESXi from my PC in LAN. I watched the event logs in our firewall and nothing seems to be blocked. I guess that the problem is related to a value or a firewall setting in ESXi 5.1 but I don't know. Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  -Kevin

  Just a thought. Why don't run you the ESXi host in your internal network management and only virtual machines in the DMZ? Would make the ESXi host management even more secure, and you wouldn't have to open Firewall ports.

• User-mode Driver Framework Host Process has encountered a problem and needs to close...

  I have an e280 and have been using Napster to Go for a few years. Computer running XP. All of a sudden, we get this message when you plug the Sansa in MTP mode:

  Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework Host Process has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience. 

  the error signature:

  szAppName: WudfHost.exe szAppVer: 6.0.5716.32 szModName: WudfHost.exeszModVer: 6.0.5716.32 offset: 000130f5

  technical information about the error report:

  C:\DOCUME~1\EARLDA~1\Locals~1\Temp\WERb6aa.dir00\appcompat.txt

  Sansa works very well in MSC mode, but then I can't synchronize with Napster. WMP 11 has updates. I tried many tips from Device Manager that have been mentioned, but it will not be installed successfully.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you!

  You can try to go back to WMP 10, remove the driver framework user-mode (on the Panel-> Add/Remove Programs) and then update back to WMP 11.  It might even work with WMP 10, so try before upgrade to WMP 11.

• New host ESXi licensing

  Hi guys,.

  I am currently working on a workflow for the provision of new hosts ESXi from scratch. Unfortunately, I glued on the new VMWare licensing to a host. I wanted to do this with a script element:

  Entry:

  Host (VC: HostSystem)

  License (String)

  Code:

  Host.configManager. licenseManager. licenseAssignmentManager.updateAssignedLicense (Host.id, license, null);

  Unfortunately, this returns an error indicating licenseManager is null.

  Anyone know how to set the new licenseManager on the host or license in another way?

  Thank you

  Kamil

  OK, I got it myself. Instead of approaching licenseManager thanks Host.configManager I used instead of the VC:SdkConnection variable.

  Entry:

  Host (VC:HostSystem)

  SDK (VC:SdkConnection)

  LicenseKey (String)

  Code:

  SDK.licenseManager.licenseAssignmentManager.updateAssignedLicense (Host.id, LicenseKey, null);

  This works perfectly!

• Data warehouses do not appear on all of the hosts even though storage devices appear on all hosts

  I have a frustrating problem that I can't solve, my data stores do not appear on all of the hosts even though storage devices appear on all hosts.  Tips on troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated, it is connected to a Synology NAS iSCSI environment and I use it for my VCAP studies right now, or was

  Tried a lot of things so far...

  -Recreate the target and starting from scratch

  -recreate the cluster from scratch

  -Restart the storage

  -Restart the hosts (I think that I did in all cases)

• VShield service Manager installation and vShield app to the same host ESXi

  Hello, I'm planning on vCloud Director assessment in a laboratory with only a single ESXi host.  When I try to install the app vShield service I get the following warning: do not install on a host or a cluster where the VC or the vShield Manager resides. This can cause network problems. The following IP address must be a unique IP address assigned to this unit of App vShield. Please do not use an IP address that is assigned to another machine, including the VC, vShield Manager or any ESX host. Using an incorrect IP address you will need to uninstall and reinstall App vShield on this host. My question is: is it is absolutely impossible to install vShield manager on the same host ESXi as the vShield Manager resides?  Or is it just a bad practice?  What are the ramifications of installing?

  It is a general practice to separate management and resources. What you see is just a warning. When there are very fewer resources available you can do. Make sure that you exclude from the required VM by referring to this post

• Travel/cloning between two hosts ESXI VM

  Hello

  I have two hosts ESXI 4.1 with VSphere Essentials for VCenter license. I'm not able to move the virtual machine to one ESXI host to another (power off). It is not supported with VSphere Essentials license? Data warehouses can be shared between the two ESXI hosts?

  What is the size of your virtual machine, what is the speed of the network and how your local storage looks like? Using RAID? How many disks and RAID level? You have a battery attached to the RAID controller write buffer cache?

  The waiting period does not necessarily mean the tasks does not work. Often it is only a delay in the vCenter Server GUI, but the process is still running and you just need to be patient. You see the files being created on the target data store?

• Restart host ESXi 4.0 with vCenter 4.0 as a virtual machine

  I have two hosts ESXi 4.0:

  1. the host 1 has vCenter 4.0 installed as a virtual machine with a VMware data recovery VM and some other virtual machines.

  2 host 2 has a number of virtual machines.

  I want to restart the first host and level to ESXi 4.0 Update 1 - I won't stop VMs on host 2, and I want to improve it yet.

  My plan is to stop all VMs on host 1 letting the vCenter VM until the last. I have then place my host in maintenance mode and run the host update application to install the update which will then require a restart of course. Once restarted, I'll connect to host 1 directly by using the vSphere client and restart the VM vCenter. I will then restart all my other virtual machines.

  Is this sound OK? VCenter will restart Fortunately?

  You can also power off the vCenter, register on the other (ESX) If you have the shared storage and try again.

  Be sure only to say I_moved about the question that appear when you turn on the virtual computer.
