• Nested ESXi 5.5 crashes with a misconfiguration EPT

  Hello

  I have an ESXi 5.5 installed on a physical machine (CPU: Intel i7 - 4770 s, 32 GB of RAM), where I have 2 nested ESXi servers. Each of them (physical + nested) execute the last ESXi 5.5 1881737 and time at time, the accidents of the ESXi nested with [msg.log.error.unrecoverable] fatal error VMware ESX: (vcpu-0) 2014-06 - 21 T 20: 03:51.580Z | vCPU-0 | I120 + vcpu-bad configuration 3:EPT:

  The nested 2 ESXi virtualization CPU/MMU was set to automatic, then on the last option (use Intel VT - x and Intel EPT for MMU virtualization). Same situation... Version 9 hardware

  I have not tried the other 2 options again, may one of them be the answer to get rid of this?

  I know it is not taken in charge, but maybe someone has an idea on how to solve this problem... Found this KB VMware: virtual machines stop abruptly with a similar error to: MONITOR PANIC: vcpu - bad 0:EPT configuration... , but this is not applicable .

  I am also attaching the vmware.log, zdump and vmmcores...

  Thank you for your time.

• Nested ESXi 5.5 lab for the SRM demo with iSCSI

  Hi all

  I was wondering if it is possible to install ESXi in ESXi 5.5 5.5 make recovery of the Server Tier - 1 Microsoft with Site Recovery manager?

  So level 1 server applications are: Exchange Server, SQL Server, SharePoint Server and AD DC servers with 5 x test Win 7 desktop.

  The external data store to the VMFS will take place by iSCSI NAS connected to the physical server.

  Any suggestion and input would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  One thing you'll want to do is to make sure that use you VSphere switches distributed on your cluster nested to ESXi hosts so that you can use the network i/o control (NIOC). For me, I put iSCSI to high priority traffic and everything to normal priority.

  With the help of the NIOC will allow your cluster nested in order to operate more fluidly than without it.

  My SRM 5.x laboratory is fully nested - probably not supported in a production environment where supported VMware should however.

  Here's a blog post of Ather Beg on its results by using the nested NIOC and ESXi hosts - it is the reduction of the spikes that Ather blog article shows that made work nested ESXi hosts networks so much better:

• Nested ESXi 5.5 laboratory

  I was pulling my hair out with this now. Trying to nest ESXi 5.5 within ESXi 5.1 on a HP DL380 G5, but I get the error: hardware virtualization is not enabled in the BIOS, when I try to install 5.5

  I already did:

  -Edited the file/etc/vmware/config for vhv.allow = 'true '.

  -Updated the VM to support v9

  -Changed the OS to ESXi 5.x (experimental)

  -Tried to edit the virtual machine's .vmx file, putting in vmkernel5 instead of 64 others in the field of guestOS

  None of this worked, always get the message about hardware virtualization is not enabled in the BIOS of the virtual machine. Anyone nestled ESXi 5.5 yet? If Yes, how did you you do and are there are instructions there. I tried following some blogs out there on the Internet, but nothing has worked.

  In addition, the BIOS of the physical machine is up to this day and ESXi 5.0 (nested or otherwise) ran flawlessly on the G5.

  Help is appreciated. TIA!

  If it were possible to use virtualized virtualization assisted by material on systems without EPT (Intel) or IVR (AMD) under ESX 5.0, this configuration was not taken in charge. EPT or IVR is now required for virtualization to support virtualized under ESXi 5.1 (and other VMware products that virtualized hardware-assisted virtualization support).

  Unfortunately, your CPU does not support the EFA.

• Nested ESXi 5.0 Workstation 9 Networking question

  I use standalone desktop with 16 GB memory with windows 7 and installed workstation 9.  I created my configuration of base, DC, ESXi-host1, host2 ESXI, ESXI-host3 and host4 ESXI.  I also installed vcenter as a virtual machine within the workstation and I can access all the hosts and vm (DC, vcenter) by name and IP.  Also DC and vcenter, I can connect to internet using vnet0 (workstation).  My management is vnet3 and my storage is vnet4.  I created a new virtual machine called vcenter in ESXi-host1.  I then installed vcenter server and vsphere client.  Everything works well.  I went to install web client and adobe flash player, to internet access.  For switch 0 I vmnic0 active and vmnic1 in mode standby.  The ports VM group vm network which has vcenter vm and vmkernel port with network management.  I went into properties and accepting promiscuous mode network times vswitch and vm.  I can not even access the internet.  This is where I don't know what to do then.  Suggestions?  If you are in need of more data, let me know and I'll give it to you.

  Given that I have not found it necessary to connect to the external network, I have not deployed router. To test, I have now deployed a virtual router to connect external network and my VM on nested ESXi can connect to the external network and was able to ping the DC VC etc...

  (1) deploy a Virtual Router download by http://freesco.sourceforge.net/

  (2) connect two network to the router as a display in the snap-in and configure the router

  

  (3) configure the default gateway of all VM (that is to say DC VC and ESXi host) to use the IP of the router.

  (4) Finally the VM on nested ESXi can connect external network and ping to other virtual machines too.

• Unable to start x 64 VMs on nested ESXi host

  Hi gurus,

  I would ask your expertise on the question with my ESXi nested 5.1 checking. I managed to install the nested ESXi host, but I can't start a x 64 VMs. I continue to ask me what follows:

  
  Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHz
  DH77EB
  EBH7710H.86A.0100.2013.0312.1351
  Virtualization / VT - x is already enabled in the BIOS.
  Turn off the Bit is also activated.
  verified the host physical and NestedHVSupported set to TRUE
  added vhv.enable = "true" on the physics of the host \etc\vmware\config
  created nested ESXi VM
  original operating system is any other 64 bit
  Once the virtual machine is created, I changed the OS to VMware ESXi 5.x (experimental)
  NX/XD flag is already set to expose
  added - H - mask CPU; ECX
  Adds the following on the nested ESXi vmx file:
  Monitor.virtual_mmu = "hardware".
  Monitor.virtual_exec = "hardware".
  VHV. Enable = "true".
  monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = 'true '.
  Thanks in advance!

  According to the journal of the ESXi VM file, its configuration (.vmx) file does not contain the vhv.enable = "true" entry. Only the configuration file contains, that was how it should be done in ESXi 5.0, but not in ESXi 5.1.

  Try to add the entry to the ESXi VM and make sure you reload the configuration (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1026043) before turn VM ESXi.

  ESXi does not support on your processor hardware-assisted virtualization.  If your processor is AMD - V, there was a design flaw with the first generation of AMD - V parts that we have chosen to not to bypass.  You will not be able to run virtual machines nested on this material.

  ESXi 5.0 supports AMD - V only on later processors and family 10H.

• Level microcode CPU nested ESXi 6.0 error

  Hello the VMware community!  I've built a budget at home and execution 5.5 vSphere lab / vCenter node cluster 2.  I try to put in place an environment vSphere nested 6.0 for testing purposes and met with an immediate obstacle.

  My first step was to create a new virtual machine to a host 6.0.  I activated the option of cpu expose hardware assisted 'display' in the guest operating system and began to install the vSphere ESXi 6.0 on the virtual computer operating system.  Almost immediately, I was faced with the following error information:

  ~~~~~

  VMware ESXi 6.0.0 (VMKernel Release Build 2494585)

  The system has found a problem on your machine and cannot continue.

  Not supported microcode level 0x00000000

  Please use the microcode patch level 0 x 01000065 or higher with processors AMD family 10 h B3.

  I did some google-foo and it seems that what which either update the installation of operating system try to use cannot be done from a guest operating system...  So it would seem the OS must be installed directly on the host computer before guests 6.0 work.  Another summer in this way, anyone?  Am I close?

  Hello world.  Thought I would let you know how I managed to solve this problem.  The credit goes to this external blog post:

  Hello

  I found what caused this problem. In my lab environment, I have the WRT54G-TM with DD - WRT router onboard. It has been configured in Client Bridge mode. He has some problem with mains supply. I disconnected the router from my computer and plugged directly on the wireless NIC card. He helped with the interruption of network problems, but there were a lot of issues with routing etc. I bought new router TP-Link TL-WR740n v4.27 and connect as a client mode on my primary wireless router. After that everything works fine.

  Once again thank you for trying to help.

  I hope this helps someone simillar questions.

  Thank you!

• Nested ESXi 5.1 and iSCSI Shared Storage

  People:

  I am unable to get my ESXi servers nested to see the iSCSI shared storage, that I put in place for them.  I use iSCSI for the ESXi host, who holds the guests of ESXi, so I have a successful iSCSI configuration to use as my reference.

  Here's what I have for the host network config:

  iSCSI targets

  + IP1: 172.16.16.7 (subnet for host IP storage)

  + IP2: 172.16.17.7 (subnet for storage over IP comments)

  vSwitch associated vmnic2 on NIC IP storage

  + Port "IP storage" group containing virtual NIC both ESXi hosts

  + VMkernel Port for iSCSI host connections: 172.16.16.28

  Here's what I have to config network comments:

  + The highest virtual NIC group of ports "IP storage".

  + vSwitch with only a VMkernel port for iSCSI of the guest connections: 172.16.17.38

  From the iSCSI host, I am able to ping 172.16.16.28.  However, I am unable to ping 172.16.17.38, and here's the really confusing part - I am able to get an answer ARP of that associated with the VMkernel port with the correct MAC network CARD!  This eliminates all kinds of potential configuration issues (for example means bad NIC, bad IP, etc..)

  The firewall on the host indicates the software iSCSI port outgoing 3260 Client is open.  Capture of the target iSCSI host package reveals no. TRAFFIC from VMkernel IP guest when updating to storage adapters.

  What should I look at?  The configuration of the host against the host looks identical yet we work and there is no...

  -Steve

  In the debugging process so, I turned on the "Promiscuous" mode on the vSwitch associated vmnic2 on the NETWORK card on the host IP storage ESXi and poof!  Everything magically started working.  The iSCSI traffic be unicast, so I don't see why promiscuous mode would be necessary, but I can't argue with the results observed.  Clearly, I have more to learn more about nested ESX, that's why I'm playing with it.  :-)

• Nested ESXi hosts and iSCSI POC

  People,

  I want to set up a proof of concept for a two host, two models NAS for my workplace. At this point, I put a host of ESXi nested using this Vcritical guide - http://www.vcritical.com/2011/07/vmware-vsphere-can-virtualize-itself/

  This made wonder. I have two virtual servers within the main install ESXi with the three hosts on the network 192.168.0.x. I then added a second NETWORK adapter on the 'server' and separated from the network iSCSI (192.168.1.x) and pointed to a simple NAS. This went well now. The problem is the hosts nested cannot access the iSCSI network.

  It's all a bit above my paygrade, but I can't work on how I can get the hosts nested on the iSCSI network. I tried to add network cards second in virtual computers running virtual hosts and their allocation to the 192.168.1.x network.

  Can anyone help to shed light? Someone you will understand my question or what I'm doing? I hope so!

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Your primary host see the iscsi network and connect to your nas Server?

  It should just be a case of creating a VM portgroup on this same vswitch, with settings of appropriate VLANs if necessary, assigning your esx hosts nested this portgroup vNIC. On the nested hosts themselves, you will need to implement the initiator software iscsi etc. as usual.

• Hi all, can you help me please how do to speed up the installation of a VM OS nested under a nested ESXi 5 host? I guess it's normal it will be slow because it's a nested under a nested VM? Thank you!

  Hope someone can answer me. Thanks nested VM experts!

  Based on your other post, I suspect that ESXi does not support on your processor hardware-assisted virtualization.  Can you put for your ESXi VM vmware.log file?
