9 - ESXi 5.1 workstation reviews and 10 GbE NIC

OK, I have a beefy machine running Windows Server 2012 VMW Workstation 9. The machine has a dual 1 GB NIC and dual port 10GBe NIC

All the features of the CPU are enabled in the i7 CPU 3820, so everything is running 64-bit stuff.

I have 2 machines virtual esxi connected to the card of 1 GB automatically filled. The virtual NETWORK card is "el1000" are in a Cluster, 2 nodes of course vCenter.

Each esxi is connected to a target iSCSI with a 200 GB LUN.

In each of the 2 VM esxi, I have 1 Windows 2008 R2 VM, one in each VM esxi. The two Windows 2008 R2 VM are on the iSCSI LUN.

The Windows 2008 R2 VM 2 is connected to the each host esxi, the 1 GB vswitch vswitch.

Launch t Windows 2008 R2 VM fine. Performance is as expected because they are only connected iSCSI LUNS to the 1 GB card.

While the configuration works as expected.

Since it worked, I decided, we will use 10GBe NIC so I disassembled all the iSCSI LUN and removed the adpter iSCSI iSCSI target in both machines virtual esxi. I'm to a 'Raw' build if you want.

Because I don't have a DAC SFP connection + 10GBe switch, I put a looping SFP + and everything was now pings to 10GBe port.

Since my objective was the LUN to a 1 GB NIC/subnet, I redirected the LUN target to the subnet in the subnet/10GBe NIC.

Everything was to pings to the 10GBe. Great huh?

Next, I added a new vmnic6 in workstation 9 in "Virtual Network Editor" and "Bridged" vmnic6 to the 10GBe NIC, then I added a NETWORK card as a 'vmxnet3"to each VM esxi, then configured a vswitch in each VM esxi. No problem. I see a "FULL 10000" synch/connection. Cool.

Then I configured the iSCSI initiators in each VM esxi to connect to the 200 GB iSCSI LUN. The update occurs and the two machines virtual esxi see the LUN and it goes up.

At this point, all connections are there and the iSCSI is connected to 10 Gbps.

So I import the virtual machine residing in the iSCSI LUN, one in each VM esxi. They import very well.

So I turn on one of the Windows 2008 R2 VM that is hosted on the first esxi host and... GROUP!

I have attached the screenshot.

Can we do anything out it?... lol

I can repeat it each time.

I'm laughing because I'm probably using WS incorrectly or something.

However, I have flash the 10GBE optical is QLogic/HP lates BIOS.

Thank you

Do not use the for the VM ESXi vmxnet3 adapter.  The pilot of ESXi 5.1 for vmxnet3 as a 'physical' NETWORK card has some problems.  Use rather e1000.

Note that you can always use vmxnet3 for any nested VMs, with no problems.

    I'm running on vmware workstation on Windows 7 with Lenovo laptop.

    in the configuration of your virtual machine, the main issue is memory. you gave the 2 GB of RAM, whereas ESXi 6 cannot go forward without minimum 4 GB of RAM.

    If please have 4 GB of RAM and re-run Setup. you will get through.

    message about the network card should also not appear after that. What kind of network you choose depends on your need.

  • 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.

  • Cannot install the 64-bit guest computer in runing Server ESXi on VMware workstation.

    Help expensive,

    I have my doubts with the installation of Microsoft windows server 2008 64 bit in my ESXi server running on WMware workstation. And my physical OS is windows 7 64 bit.

    When I created guest computer already and I'm starting to be able to on, the followning of pop-up windows and I say Yes. It can start my .iso file but after he boot, says Windows error.

    And it's the screenshot.

    So that means I can't install guest PC 64 bit in my ESXi Server?

    Thank you

  • ESXi on VMWare Workstation with widows 2008 comments

    Hello

    I am about to begin a new deployment and I tested some things before that I have shell out money for new equipment and software.

    I tested Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit on VMWare Workstation and everything is good.  My VMWare Workstation is on Win 7 64 bit

    Ultimately, this equipment will run on ESX, vSphere Essentials through.   To test this, I installed ESXi 4 Update 1 inside VMWare Workstation.

    Because the vSphere client is not supported on Windows 7, I installed the Client vSphere on Win XP 32 bit inside another guest of VMWare Workstation.

    During the installation of Windows 2008 R2 64-bit on ESXi, via vSphere on XP, I get the following error

    Trying to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU in is not compatible with the 64-bit mode.

    Well, I know that my cpu is 64-bit capable, because I'm already under 64-bit so much already.

    It worries me a bit, because I wasn't expecting this obstacle - my test was to validate a number of other things, not this and now I think I might switch to Hyper-V.

    I already searched the forums, and from what I found, nothing has solved the problem yet

    However, there could be a saving grace - could the fact that I'm under esxi in vmware workstation cause this problem?

    Paul

    You're out of luck.

    You cannot run 64-bit inside a virtual ESX clients.

    Nested VMs have no VT support, you need to run a 64-bit client

  • When was the last time that 5.5 ESXi host not re-initialized and total times restarted last month.

    Hi team,

    We have more than 100 ESXi host in our environment, and we need to know when was the last time ESXi host rebooted and no times restarted last month. Please help me get the power cli script. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you

    Thank you

    VMware tech

    OK, so the ESXi nodes were hard started (as if you pushed the power button).

    This is probably why the task for a planned restart does not turn upward.

    Do you see the ESXi nodes with the following script?

    It shows the events where the connection to a host has been lost.

  • I'm retouching of images taken on my iPhone 6 more with Photoshop CS6. I'm doing my color correction and add effects and all that. Before you export the image I review and be sure to what I has no more sharpness and the lines are smooth and it looks good

    I'm retouching of images taken on my iPhone 6 more with Photoshop CS6. I'm doing my color correction and add effects and all that. Before you export the image I review and be sure to what I has no more sharpness and the lines are smooth and it looks good overall. I export it to JPEG, max quality with the establishment of reference standards. I then open the image and it seems fine, as it did in photoshop. My problems begin to occur when I try to download on Twitter as my profile picture. I tried downloading from my office directly on the site via google chrome. When I download the image then begins to have jagged edges and overlooks the tablets. So I thought it was some performance settings, then I tweaked them and restarted a couple of times and still the same result. He would go on my desk but when uploaded to twitter as my profile picture is horrible. So I tried emailing the image of myself and the download through my phone. I opened the image on my iphone and it seemed fine as he did on my desktop but when I downloaded the image it makes then look blurry. I had this problem when downloading photos Twitter via my iphone, so it doesn't surprise me. I have read different forums saying: you must download it from the office, so I thought it would work like this. This could be a problem of twitter than compresses uploaded photos? Other people can do very much the same way, but it does not work for me. Please someone help me before I put my computer in an oven microwave.

    This could be a problem of twitter than compresses uploaded photos?

    Yes. The rest, we can answer. You wrote a lot, but very little discussion. Instead of accurate information you lose yourself in the vague descriptions. Screw color management to the wrong dimensions that trigger resizing server-side it could be any number of things here.

  • VMWare Workstation 8 and 9

    I can install Workstation 8 and 9 on the same PC (Windows XP SP3 home edition).

    Reason:

    I have a VM that work perfectly on Workstation 8 and I buy upgrade and update Workstation 8 to 9 of the workstation to create a new Virtual Machine with Windows 8.

    This new machine works fine, but the old machine did not start with the following message:

    "This virtual machine policies are too old to be run by this version of VMware Workstation. Contact your system administrator. »

    I use all of the solutions found on the community, but all have failed and is important for me to use this old virtual machine.

    Thank you.

  • Workstation 6 and the XP Mode from Windows 7 Pro

    Hello

    I wonder if somone can offer some advice?

    I am running Workstation 6.0.2 build 59824 - I recently created a Windows 7 professional virtual machine under the ' option (experimental) Edition of Windows Server 2008 x 64. Successfully installed Windows 7 and it works fine.

    However, I now have a need to run it in XP Mode to run legacy applications.

    I successfully installed XP Mode, but when I run it, I get this message:

    Cannot start windows virtual pc because hardware virtualization support is disabled.

    I downloaded the utility HAV to check if she is capable of hardware virtualization, which checked OK.

    My PC is a HP DX5750 (AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual Core 4200 +, 2.19 Ghz, 3.00 RAM).

    There is an option in the BIOS called "Virtualization Technology", which I ACTIVATED.

    But I think there may be something I need to change in the VMWARE Workstation environment, perhaps in the vmx configuration file?

    I'd appreciate any help you can give me.

    Thank you.

    Dave.

    Workstation 6 is not virtualize vitualization material assistance of the physical processor features.  To do this, it should be at least Workstation 8 and an AMD processor with the IVR support.

    However, there is a patch for Windows Virtual PC that will allow the use of binary translation instead of hardware-assisted virtualization.  See http://blogs.msdn.com/b/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2010/03/18/windows-virtual-pc-no-hardware-virtualization-update-now-available-for-download.aspx

  • AA Standard XI: No ' share' button to simply fix pdf to e-mail without asking for review and comment?

    AA X, there was a ' share' button that would allow me to include a copy of the current pdf file to an e-mail that will be sent. The PDF would not 'review' or 'comment '. Just a plain, vanilla, "here is a copy of a document."

    I don't find this ability in standard XI. I found a way to send for review and comments. How can I just sent? (Other than the creation of an email to my client (Outlook), then by attaching from there, forcing me to navigate to the desired pdf file).
