  Your vmx file show the existence of a network card.

  stop the virtual machine, remove the CARD from the virtual machine settings (it should be here), click ok, wait a few seconds and he add, connect to the VM network.

• 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.

• IPSec on VMWare ESX 5.1 communication problems

  Hello

  We have 2 computer systems.  You running us VMWare ESX 5.1 and the other is running Ubuntu 14.04.  We have problems for IPSec to work between the two systems.  We cannot find any documentation or known issues with IPsec on VMWare ESX 5.1, so we're going to reach out to the community.

  Here's what we did:

  1. we configured Ubuntu and VMWare systems to use IPv6, we can ping each other using IPv6.

  2. we configure IPSec on an Ubuntu operating system by following the instructions below:

  https://help.Ubuntu.com/community/IPSecHowTo

  3. we have followed the instructions below to configure IPsec on VMWare.

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1021769

  Here's the problem:

  When 2 Ubuntu systems run IPsec, they are able to ping each other.  However, when allow us IPSec communications between VMWare and Ubuntu, the ping is suspended.

  Here is the result of the configuration of command esxcli on VMWare:

  UBUNTU. IPv6.ADDRESS-> Ubuntu IPv6 address

  VMWARE. IPv6.ADDRESS-> address IPv6 from VMWARE

  GoToDPSP UBUNTU. IPv6.ADDRESS/64 0 VMWARE. IPv6.ADDRESS/64 0 in ipsec transport GoToDPSA

  Here's what we found:

  After debugging the problem (using tcpdump), we found that the VMWare system sends the ESP packets, but never sends a package AH (required for IPSec authentication).  Even when the encryption protocol is null, the system of VMWare would always send ESP packets, but never once sent a package of AH.

  Here is the resulting execution trace: Ubuntu - ping-> VMWare:

  ...

  Summary:

  There seems to be a problem with IPSec in VMWare ESX 5.1 on IPv6.

  We noticed that the downloads section of the site support provided patches for VMWare ESx 4.x and earlier, but lack of patches for VMWare ESx 5.x.

  Are there known issues in this area or available patches to fix this problem?  Your kind suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

  Sorry for the late reply, but here the analysis of what is happening and why you are experiencing a problem.

  The Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) to IPsec protocol will encrypt a payload of the packet and can

  Optionally authenticate the packages as well. You do not include orders allowing you to set the

  Security Association (SA) and political security (PS), but the output in your post indicates that you

  you want to encrypt the payloads both authenticate packets in mode of transport between the hosts.

  I don't know why the Ubuntu IPsec HowTo examples using protocols AH and ESP to encrypt and

  authenticate the packets. In our view, it is best done in a single step with ESP, ESXi only

  offer the option of AH with IPsec. Of course, this requires configuring the ESXi server and your

  The host with a configuration of IPsec compatible Ubuntu (or any other operating system).

  To illustrate, suppose the ESXi server has the address 2001:db8:1 and the host of Ubuntu has the

  address 2001:db8:2. We will use cbc-3des for encryption of the useful and hmac-sha2-256 load for integrity

  authentication mode of transport - just like in your message.

  On the ESXi host, the commands to do this might look like this (of course, you need to generate your)

  own keys and not re-use those I did).

• Close VMware ESX 3.5 &amp; 4.0 hosts... What about the DRS?

  Hi experts,

  Here I begin this discussion to know the following:

  Facts:

  Farm with guests VMware ESX in u5 versions 3.5 and 4.0 U2

  DRS configured as entirely not automated, no rules.

  Issues related to the:

  What happens with DRS to deploy new virtual machines with Virtual Hardware 7?

  They will receive only on ESX 4.0u2 hosts?

  Could cause instability on the other virtual machines?

  I raise this because I have no experience in mixed environments, and I expect the DRS feature so smart that moves and power on virtual machines on hosts that are able to manage virtual machines with virtual hardware that is compatible with, I'm so innocent?

  Virtual machines with Virtual Hardware 4 can be moved throughout of these clusters 3.5 or 4.0, but what happens with VM with the newest virtual hardware?

  If they had moved in any case on a host ESX 3.5, what will be the behavior of this virtual machine?

  Last, but not least important, what do guys suggest to bypass this until I have all migrated hosts?
  (Migration of all hosts will take more than a month, support and SLA issues, so I need a workaround solution)

  Thanks in advance for your time and answers this!
  Kind regards

  Hello

  1. what happens with the DRS to deploy new virtual machines with Virtual Hardware 7?

  2. they will receive only on ESX 4.0u2 hosts?

  3 could cause instability on the other virtual machines?

  1 VM' with HW v7 will be migrated only between vSphere 4.X nodes in a cluster

  2 VM with HW v7 will be only on vSphere 4.x nodes

  3 nope

  1. I raise this because I have no experience in mixed environments, and I expect the DRS feature so smart that moves and power on virtual machines on hosts that are able to manage virtual machines with virtual hardware that is compatible with, I'm so innocent?

  2. the virtual machines with Virtual Hardware 4 can be moved throughout these clusters 3.5 or 4.0, but what happens with VM with the newest virtual hardware?

  1. Yes, the DRS will be

  2. see comments of mu above

  3. nothing will change on the behavior of the virtual machine, only VMware tool will be updated

• Update disk in VMware ESX 3i

  Hi all

  I recently replace the SATA 7.2 K six drive in my PowerEdge server for six SAS 15 K disks. Previously, I did my VM then restored for the new RAID volume 50 and backup. But when I start the virtual machine (centos 5) and run ' dd if = / dev/zero of = testfile2 bs = 8192 count = 12207 "the almost the same result I had with the SATA disks. My question is: VMWare ESX 3i immediately recognize the new SAS drive? Or maybe it's write the disc with the previous speed?

  Thank you and best regards,

  Amedina

  DD may be not the best tool to test the performance. In theory, the SAS drives, if you get more IOPs, dd wrote only (sequential).

  RAID 50 with only six readers isn't a really good choice either.

  Depending on your RAID controller (Perc xx? with battery backup cache write?), the bottleneck is not the disks, but the controller itself (calculation of parity on the two RAID5) and striping on the RAID50.

  Think about another provision RAID (8 disks RAID10?) and another test tool.

• With the help of VMware ESX in a business continuity Plan

  I'm looking to set up a Plan for continuity of the business using Vmware ESX. I would like to install an outside site that will duplicate a few key servers. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this with ESX? Is it as simple as pushing Server snapshots to the offsite location? Any ideas...

  Thank you

  Scott

  Hello

  Welcome to the forums.

  I'm looking to set up a Plan for continuity of the business using Vmware ESX. I would like to install an outside site that will duplicate a few key servers. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this with ESX? Is it as simple as pushing Server snapshots to the offsite location? Any ideas...

  One thing to know is that a snapshot in terms of "VMware" is not a full copy of the disc, it is a file that contains the changes to the drive block since the snapshot was created. Snapshots of assistance in making backups of virtual machines running, but allowing the basic disk to copy while the data is written to the snapshot. Then, you're the snapshot.

  So how do DR/BC is having a good backup strategy using one of the available backup/replication tools.

  There are:

  Veeam Backup w/replication

  Vizioncore vRanger backup and vReplicator for replication connection

  EsXpress doctorate for backup (restorations of use for replication)

  There is also some SRM if your San is supported, etc.

  So there are a lot of options the question is how 'real time' you need the data. You could also use the replication SAN, Double Take, etc.

  Hi - I ended up having to do such things in the past as well. I just built a virtual machine added lots of processors and memory, then for the CPU, I used the script CPUBusy.vbs from VMware (Google search which) and down it load times so that he began to max real physical processors... For memory, I just opened a massive text file in Wordpad and scroll up and down it. This gave me the circumstances to test the alarms, just don't do as a busy time or use some dev ESX servers...

• 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.

• 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.
