• ESX i4 free edition to manage by VCenter 5.5

  Hey,.

  I've got ESX server free edition 4.1 and I recently bought essential kit of ESX.

  I want to update my esx server, but first back up all my virtual machines.

  is it possible to do except turn off the virtual machines?

  I thought to add the host as it is (free edition) to vcenter 5.5 and their cloning of virtual machines, but no luck with that, is it possible at all?

  Thanks for the help!

  Oh right sorry, forgot that, as he used to work with free ESXi earlier

  During the upgrade, there is not a single were you can really do something wrong:

  It will ask you to upgrade or new install.

  The pre-selected and correct answer is "upgrade and preserve the VMFS datastore ', so that your virtual machines them will not be deleted.

• Songs from Server 2003 added to the WMP11 library but does not appear or play on remote drives

  Goal is to make the large library of songs on Server 2003 available for play on the Onkyo HT-RC180.

  Using WMP11 on XP SP3 as a mechanism of source.  On the second machine I have Server2003 with collection of songs.  Can add pieces of server to WMP11 library on the XP machine, do appear in the library list and read.  Can also see and play the songs pasted on the source XP machine.  So far so good.

  Have a laptop with Win7 and WMP12.  I grant him access in WMP11 can I access the libraries of the XP machine and play songs I can see from this library using laptop, but only those songs stuck on XP (not those of the server) machine appear on the laptop and can be played there.  Same problem to access the library of machine XP Onkyo HT - RC180.

  Change the permissions on the files on the server to match those of XP machine, including inheritance and the NETWORK SERVICE, does not solve the problem.

  On the XP machine, change the capture of rip to a server folder, and then to rip a CD on the server does not have the ripped files to be seen or played on a remote drive, although they can be seen and read on the XP machine.

  If I turn the tables and use the laptop as the source, but still store files on the server, situation remains unchanged - physically located on the laptop songs are fine but those on the server can not be seen or read on the remote drive.

  Seems to me is not a problem with file permissions.  Seems more like something wrong with the installation of WMP leading to something wrong with the database of WMP - but deletion of database and restart does not help.

  What, exactly, the permissions are on the server to allow playback of the songs on remote drive?

  What is the problem with WMP11 settings on the XP machine?

  Have you installed the streaming media server?  Also do you have server 2003 mounted as a network drive?  More help might be able to be found at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/categories/.

• vCenter connects to SQL Server very well with 64-bit DSN, but does not connect with 32-bit DSN

  Created a system DSN 64-bit and 32-bit vCenter server by using SQL Server Native Client 11.0 and exact same settings pointing to the database on a SQL Server 2012 box.  The 64-bit DSN connects very well and the 32-bit DSN fails to connect.  Can someone give some guidance as to what could be the problem?  I have never seen it before.  They are pointing to the same database and use the same local SQL account.

  TIA

  The challenge was to enable the SQL Server Browser service in the SQL box - it is disabled by default in Windows with SQL Server 2012 2012...  This should really be documented by VMWare.

  Hi Nicky,

  We will clear up the confusion of port for the next version.  Regarding
  availability be yellow, I believe that it is through the combination
  the VMware API in 3.0 is much slower than ESX 2 times 20
  VMS exposes this recently fixed issue: http://jira.hyperic.com/browse/
  HHQ-437

  You can find a patch fixed the issue that should solve your
  lights of availability.  Let us know if that helps.  It is also possible
  to reduce the memory usage by disabling the plugins that vmware
  Buy adding to agent.properties:

  plugins.include = VMware

  You can also change the max heap size in agent.properties:
  agent.javaOpts =-Xmx128m

• VMWare ESX Server training

  Hello experts,
  I'm new to vitrualization.
  I installed vmware workastation v 7.0 and I also have VMWare ESX Server training Trainsignal dvd for training so here are my questions:

  Can I install VMware vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 on my VMWare Workstation 7.0 for training v?

  Is - this VMWare vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 product different from VMWare ESX Server 3.5?

  I'm you ask all these questions because I want to be sure I can complete a training with VMWare vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 suite drive of my Trainsignal VMWare ESX Server 3 and because I am not allowed to download the evaluation version on VMWare ESX Server 3 and because the VMWare customer service could not answer my simple question and quoted me to the community by them to get advice.

  Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

  Hi nasolsi,

  Can I install VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5 straight on my VMWare Workstation 7 training without affecting my HDD physical whole?

  Yes, it has nothing to do with your actual score and highlights form the part of space, he took from your partition to create the disk of the virtual machine. So basically it will eat the space in the physical partition but does nothing else like the formatting of the entire disk.
  

  
  

  and the performance on my PC?

  No, this will not affect your PC's performance as the workstation will run the pages of RAM and cycles on your physical PC hardware microprocessor.

  
  

  If permitted increase RAM by a value so that you do not encounter CMTF or any other problem. 2048MB is the minimum memory required to run ESXi.

• Update Manager & virtualized vCenter Server

  Hello

  Kind of a chicken and the egg here problem.  How you clean up a with UpdateManager ESX Server if it is installed on vCenter server is virtualized on the same ESX box?  I only ESX Server at the moment, so I can't vmotion whatever it is turned off.  I tried to update in any case say, but may not enter maintenance mode since my vCenter server is still in place.

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  Looks like you yourself in trouble.

  You can still use other ways to patch your esx hosts.

  1. using the update of the VI, installed with the client.

  2 patch ESX host with esxupdate or use one of the many scripts online fixes (look for esx patch.pl)

• Hot migration is possible with VMWare ESXi 5.1.0 without an ESX server management

  Hot migration is possible with VMWare ESXi 5.1.0 without an ESX server management?
  I wonder for a future issue, a scenario where a system administrator must build a Win2008 + DC on local storage, server
  then, once the physical box is integrated into the class network, the physical box is connected to the classified SAN storage.
  Is it possible to hot - migrate the server Win2008 + CC local storage to SAN storage at this time, with only the
  free version of VMWare ESXi 5.1.0?

  Welcome to the community - I guess that you are looking to do this, while the virtual machine is currently running - this is not possible without a management server, also called vCenetr, but all is not lost because you would be able spend the VM local storage to the San with the VM posered using the client storage management features

• displacement of the configurations of lab manager between the ESX server host computers / data warehouses

  Hello

  Is it possible to move configurations of lab manager between the ESX server host computers / data warehouses? I don't see an option in the library & gt; Clone library. Thank you!

  Recently, I used SSMove to migrate our datastore LM set a new LUN.  It's really simple to use.  This KB gives complete instructions on SSMove http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1006694&sliceId=1&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&dialogID=8456583&stateId=0%200%209407965

• How many FC patch can manage an ESX Server?

  I'm in the middle of installing a new IBM XIV Storage.

  The XIV can efford me CF 24 path.

  Q: how many FC path an ESX 3.5 U4 can manage?

  I can't find this specific answer just how many LUNS.

  /BZ

  Take a look at for ESX 3.5 configuration maximums: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_config_max.pdf

  The number of paths to a given LUN is 32 and you can have a maximum of 1024 paths on a single host.

• How do you know what was the latest patch installed on VMware ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0 207095

  Hello guys,.

  I've been running an old server that was installed in a test system on workstation DELL - Optiplex GX620 (32 bit).

  During installation, I had to confirgure the file: /usr/lib/vmware/installer/Core/TargetFilter.py to change the following line:

  "interface returned. GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_IDE' as follows:

  "interface returned. GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_ISCSI' this is it worked and I used it for 3 years now. However, right now, I was hoping to be updated with the latest patches and updates and I do not know if I just ESX or ESXi, or what was my last update, and what it takes then.

  I used this command to get the following result:

  # vmware - v

  VMware ESX Server 3i 3.5.0 build-207095

  ... I think that the 3i says I have an ESXi 3.5.0 but build 207095 the buid even as ESXi 3.5.0 patch 5?

  If this is not the case, how should I do to update? What is the KB # I should download?

  I can manage using vSphere Client 5.5 and I can't SSH using PuTTY.

  Note: When I run... "# esxupdate - bundle = ESXe350-201302401-I - SG.zip updated ' of in the folder where his property in the data store, nothing happens... just a new line scrolls.

  Also...

  # esxupdate query

  <? XML version = "1.0"? >

  < package ID = "ESX-207095" >

  ... is there any update for this system? I therefore believe that the patch software etc was not around when I was installing this server in 2010.

  Based on KB http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1014508 you run ESX 3.5 Update 5.

• Is it ok/possible to add a GUI to my ESX server service console?

  Can I download one of the lightest LINUX GUI and run it from the service console?  Also, how to connect using putty?  Should be on licence somewhere?

  You can add a graphical interface on the ESX console... Can be... but be careful that the console has only a limited amount of Max (above 800 MB) memory and it has been optimized to manage your virtual machines. He is also set to always run on CPU0.

  If you interfaces graphics crashes... it could take down the management of all your virtual machines.

  So the question is "If you do that?", then the answer is no. you'd better not.

  It also cancels your support/warranty. Your ESX Server will be is no longer supported.

  If it's for an experience... go ahead... If you want to run production on this same host... don't even think about it.

• ESX Server 3.5 upgrade auf 4.1

  Hallo community values,

  ICH stehe vor einem is small problem und ich möchte euch einen overview binding kurz:

  • -2 x VMware ESX Server 3.5.0 build 130756 (Clustermode, Dell Poweredge M600, Xeon X 5460, 32 GB of RAM)
  • -12 VMs (Win2k3 + Win2k8)
  • -VMware Virtual Center Server 2.5.0.64228
  • -VMware Infrastructure Client 2.5.0.64228
  • -VMware Update Manager 1.0.0.63985

  Wie ihr an den Versionen seht, wurde das Szenario recht und ich darf nun hand dress is stiefmütterlich. Are das Ziel und meine Aufgabe ist, die sich infrastructure auf die aktuellste mógliche (ESX 4.1 ware dies laut ESX Compatibility Guide U3) zu heben. Planned do ware:

  • -Host ESX al auf ESX Server 3.5 Update 5
  • -Removal of guest VMs auf vCenter Server 4.1.0.17435 und der
  • -Update auf der hosts 4.1 U3
  • -Squad der VMware tools VMs auf den
  • -If necessary. Ein update the vCenters 5.5, muss ich mich noch inform ob possible ist dies auf mit den 4.1er hosts.

  Leider komme ich nicht sehr weit.

  Die Baseline as Update 5 is connected und ist mit dem Update Manager. Der ist im Wartungsmodus ESX host. Wenn ich "updates Auf prufen" go out ich das event "Fehler beim Prüfen von ESXHost auf updated" von dem Benutzer com.vmware.vcIntegrity.

  Die questions:

  WO ich hand dress should? Wo finde ich ein detailliertes journal zu den C.a.i.? There're zu der be possibly Tipps oder Anderungsvorschlage eurerseits do?

  Danke im Voraus.

  ICH sprach von Version 4.1 therefore, weil erwahnt oben the hattest "Das Ziel und meine Aufgabe ist es, die sich infrastructure auf die aktuellste mógliche (ESX Compatibility Guide ware ESX 4.1 U3 dies laut) zu heben". Durchgehend Wenn Version 5.1 (für die ESXi hosts, eingebaute Komponenten wie NW maps..., storage system) supported the ist, ist dies of course also possible. Die die aktuell probably VM mit HW Version 4 laufen should damit auch laufen (see http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2007240)

  Die Lizenzkeys as ESX and ESXi sind die gleichen und wenn eine aktive subscription As (oder zum als vSphere covered at least 5 released wurde hattest) you can the uber das my VMware die auf die Version upgraden equivalent licenses portal.

• Data growing in vmware esx server disk 3

  Hi, I have been asked by a colleague If I can be useful to expand d: ------disc on an existing virtual windows server 2003.

  They use:

  VMware ESX Server 3i Version 3.5.0 Build 110271

  VMware Infrastructure Client Version 2.5.0 build 119826

  Is it possible to extend the disc in vSphere clienten, start by clicking on the edit \ disk and then expand the *. wmdk file of 25 GB to 40 GB? After this connection in the server and expand the disk using a few better disk expansion program.

  / T.

  Yes, it should work even with the virtual machine. After having developed the virtual disk in the graphical interface, connect to the virtual machine Windows 2003 (or open the console or via the administrative RDP session) and rescan storage in disk management. Assuming that the data disk has only one partition or is the last partition on the disk and does not have the file exchange/swapfile on it, you may even be able to extend disk space by using the diskpart command-line utility.
