• ESXi Server and the DMZ security

  Hello world

  I currently have around 5 physical web servers sitting in a demilitarized zone. My plan is to convert all these web servers to virtual machines and host them on an ESXi server.

  I would like to host the ESXi Server actually in the demilitarized zone, all the VMs on the ESXi box would be public facing anyway. Does anyone know of a good reason not to do from a security point of view.

  I guess my main concern would be the area of ESXi being threaten. Of course, I would limit the traffic through the firewall rules.

  I would like to know your opinion on this and if someone has done this before?

  Thank you very much

• Join the ESXi server to the advantage of the AD domain?

  Hello

  What are the advantage of joining the 5.1 U1 to the Windows Active Directory domain ESXi hosts?

  is it for the purpose of synchronization NTP?

  I'm in the process of migration from the old WIn2k3 box NTP role in one of the virtual WIn2008R2 machine so I was wondering if this is the case.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  NTP is one of the advantages of the machine of authenticated domain. Other benefits are the domain-wide authentication (you can connect as a user with elevated privileges, if you are the Member of preset "ESX Admins" domain group, but this name can be changed dynamically) and also VMware Update Manager relies on DNS resolution - you will not be able to update your guests without a reverse lookup.

• ESXi server of the poll with Solarwinds Orion NPM

  I'm under ESX1 4.1 U2 and we just bought Orion NPM 10.2.2.  I connected with the success of the host of Orion by the creation of a local on the ESXi host user and give permissions ReadOnly.   It works all fine Orion is the CPU, MEM, survey disks, the virtual machine to its customers, ect...  However the condition of the material shows ' material vote failed: chassis Polling (class CIM_Chassis) has failed.» Unable to establish a session with all the identification information provided" I am able to fix this by assigning the Administrator role to my local user.

  That is the problem.  I don't want to give this account full administrator permissions to monitor my hosts.   I tried cloning of the Administrators role, but he doesn't let Orion survey CIM hardware stats.  What am I missing why the default role works but not the clone? What is different?

  SNMP is the right answer, because I got exactly the same problem.

• Access NAS storage of ESXi Server using VMKernel Port?

  Hello

  I would like to know the best procedure to connect to the NAS storage of ESXi host 5. I am able to connect to the NAS storage according to the screenshots listed in the link below.

  http://www.tintri.com/blog/2011/11/connecting-vSphere-to-NFS-the-easy-way/

  But, I saw different configurations in the past where port dedicated VMkernel is assigned to NAS and all storage goes into network 10 G. I try to do the same and created a VMkernel for NAS port. But I don't think that traffic is going over there as it is not used at all.

  I gave the IP address of the ESXi server on the NAS box to get access. I couldn't give address IP VMkernel sideways NAS. How can I make use of this IP VMKernel dedicated NFS storage?

  I want to implement the best way to pass NAS 10 G network traffic. In addition, How can I test if storage traffic crosses VMkernel port?

  Suggestions needed.

  Virtualinfra is right that you must use a different subnet for NFS traffic. You masked the IP range, so I don't see what you use, but make sure that the vmkernel and storage using a single subnet, not the management subnet. If you get an error, your use of a subnet that goes out the default gateway of the management port, or that you are using the same subnet.

  I wrote a few articles on the use of NFS with vSphere: http://wahlnetwork.com/2012/04/19/nfs-on-vsphere-a-few-misconceptions/

  Also, make sure that the vmnic can route traffic on that subnet, as in the case of the use of VLANs.

• A virtual machine or the template with the same name is already registered. Server error: the specified key name or identifier already exists.

  Hi all

  I have a 5.5 esxi server just the a virtual machine running at the moment. I try to clone this as shown below:

  http://nchrissos.WordPress.com/2013/04/22/cloning-a-VM-without-vCenter-in-ESXi-5-1-free-edition/

  However, I get the error:

  A virtual machine or the template with the same name is already registered. Server error: the specified key name or identifier already exists.

  I have no vcenter (yet), and it's just the 1 vm. The virtual machine is turned off. I get this error regardless of the name, I said that when I choose "add to the inventory.

  All advice appreciated.

  Thank you

  Oh dear...
  you read bad advice on the internet and then you get also the stupid advice here.

  Ignore both!

  If you want to clone a virtual machine by copying - do it like this:

  Create new virtual machine with the wizard.
  Skip creating a disk for new customers.

  In Datastorebrowser copy the original vmdk to the new dir, which has been created by the wizard.
  Reopen the new VM and edit - assign the vmdk that you just copied.

  The procedure of the blog is not supposed to work.
  Sissine trick doesn't make sense either

• ESXi server to Clariion CD120

  Hello

  We have a DL580 G5 server on which I have installed the ESXi server. The DL580 has two drives HARD internal for the OS. We have a CLARIION CX120. I downloaded a capture utility from EMC powerlink, and when I try to run the script, I get an error that the script cannot execute the ESXi server and is designed for ESX server only.

  Can someone tell me please. Thank you

  ESXi does not have a complete console with all Linux commands, and the environment of the shell is very limited.

  It is therefore possible that an executable cannot run on ESXi.

  You will need to ask EMC if there is a 'ESXi version', or temporally to install full ESX (in test mode), run EMCgrab, one then reinstall ESXi.

• ESXi connection to the Windows SFU NFS data store

  We plan to install 3 servers ESXi with virtual machines hosted on local.  A backup script align the images and move the *.vmx and *.vmdk to a NFS data store located in separate facilities which are connected via fiber.  All connections are links of 1 G.  The NFS data store will be hosted on w2k3 with SFU (Microsoft Services for Unix).

  The NFS data store will be a target for cloning and will be located in a building separated for "geographical separation."  I tested with Veema FastSCP (the public beta)... it's ok (30Mbytes/sec).  I assume that the clone process will take about 5 hours - but we can tolerate the performance hit after opening hours.

  Question:  Is there a "traps" to know by linking each ESXi server in the same directory NFS exported using SFU?  Perhaps more to the point... no problem with ESXi and Windows SFU?

  Before anyone asks... we do this on a 'super-thin budget' (that is to say... $ 0) using existing hardware, otherwise I would have ESX Enterprise and SAN storage!

  Some discussions to look at on the performance.

• Can access virtual servers, but not the server host after vpn

  When on the network, I can access the host server and all other virtual servers (virtualized with virtualbox). But when I connect with VPN I have no access to the main server, but I have access to any of the host servers - and I can get access to the main server of one of the host servers.

  Where do I start looking?

  using of 5505 and asa version 8.4 is (2).

  translate_hits = 37, untranslate_hits = 63771

  6 (on the outside) to dynamic interface of the NET-VPNPOOL source (outdoor)

  translate_hits = 0, untranslate_hits = 0

  On the host, I see that you have 2 default gateways configured. It can have 1 default gateway, and to the other interface, you must configure static routes for specific access.

  The interface that needs to connect to the Internet should have the configured default gateway. The traffic that pass through the interface of the SAA should also go in and out the same set of interface, IE: If the host server connects to the interface via dmz out to the external interface, the return traffic must also go through this path, apart from the interface and return to the dmz interface.

• To access the ESXi 6 via the webclient service

  Greetings,

  I'm sorry if I'm just cutting on it, but maybe it's an easy question to answer.

  I'm in a very locked down environment and I can not access vSphere windows client (client installation is not allowed on my windows desktop).

  I have 5 hosts ESXi 6.0 and I need to deploy vSphere 6 on top of these hosts.  My plan was to go directly to one of the hosts and install vCenter on a virtual machine on that host.

  From this point, I would be able to connect to vCenter and build the rest of the environment.

  As I don't have access to the Windows client, I have to use the web client to interact with the environment (I would need to connect the host to the first and build vCenter), but given that I have not vCenter or the webclient service installed yet, I see not a way to actually enter the ESXi host using the webclient service.  I know with 5.5, was the order for the installation:

  1.) SSO

  2 web client).

  3. inventory service)

  4.) vCenter Server

  But what I would do here with version 6?  Can I run the installer of vCenter and install the web client on my desktop and then use it to access the host to create the environment?

  It seems that the windows client really is a must if you want to connect to a host (if you don't have the webclient service installed).  Is this fair?

  There is no webclient for administrering a stand-alone ESXi host, only the Windows client.

  However the vCenter device built in deployment tool to deploy a vcenter device you don't need customer C sharp, but you must be able to install the plugin for integration of customer.

  If you need a Windows vCenter server you need to deploy the fashion old way

  Thanking you in advance.

  (1) each location access & manage esxi servers / VMS than by its user admin - own data center / Esxi servers / VMs

  Select your data center to host & cluster inventory, go to the Manage tab, under you will find authorization tab, where you should add authorization with spread to children, by selecting the account user/group and appropriate role (create custom roles if necessary).

  (2) is not access any other server Esxi / VM - no access to the other data centers / Esxi servers / VMs

  Suppose that the user is given with permission only on Dataceter1 in your inventory, that account has no default on any other data centers, so when permissions that the user will be able to see these inventory items where he or she has permission.

  (3) a super user access and manage all the server vCenter / Esxi Server / VM

  Select your vCenter Server server in host & cluster inventory, go to the Manage tab, under you will find tab permission , then you must add the permission with spread to children, by selecting the account Super user/group and appropriate role.

• Cannot access ESXi server via network

  Hello world!

  We have a HP C7000 Encolosure with 4 BL460c Gen 8 blades in front size of it. Back size of the C7000, we have 2 SAN Switch, 2 switch HP BLc GbE2c layer 2/3 and 2 Onboard Administrator Module.

  Everything is working fine with IP addresses like this:

  OA active:

  IP address: 172.16.0.253

  STANBY OA:

  IP address: 172.16.0.254

  Server Blade BL460c Bay 1:

  The IP address of the ILO: 172.16.0.10

  Server Blade BL460c Bay 2:

  The ILO IP address: 172.16.0.11

  BL460c blade Bay 9:

  The ILO IP address: 172.16.0.19

  Server Blade BL460c Bay 10:

  The ILO IP address: 172.16.0.20

  We can ping pc that connected to the port of ILO on Onboard Administrator (OA) IP addresses above. (I can it call PC MANAGE?)

  Continue, we access OA via Web https://172.16.0.253 use of , then Console integrated to control 4 Server blades. We have mounted image ESXi 5.1 U1 and successfully installed on 4 servers blade.

  We manually config IP address on each ESXi Server (like this):

  BL460c Server Blade on Bay 1 as server ESXi 1:

  IP address: 10.0.0.11

  BL460c Server Blade on Bay 2 as server ESXi 2:

  IP address: 10.0.0.12

  BL460c Server Blade on Bay 9 as a server ESXi 9:

  IP address: 10.0.0.19

  BL460c Server Blade on 10 Bay as a server ESXi 10:

  IP address: 10.0.0.20

  Now we can ping server to another server ESXi ESXi 1. I mean 4 Blade Server can ping together.

  BUT:

  -We can not ping servers to blade PC of manage (that PC connect to the port of ILO on OSTEOARTHRITIS. In this scene, MANAGE PCs has the IP 172.16.0.100/16)

  -We unplug the network cable from the port of iLO, then connect it to the port number 24 on HP BLc GbE2c LY 2/3 switch, then address IP of the PC to MANAGE the 10.0.0.100/24 value. Always the same, can only access servers

  Can someone explain to me how to access this server (ping, http, etc...). Do we have to config switch HP BLc GbE2c LY 2/3? We read many many guide on the HP website, but they have not mentioned about routing or switch to configure

  Thanks in advance!

  It's my mistake!

  My servers have 2 connections FlexLOM. That a connection has been enabled for 'network management' in ESXi. I do not understand, then I activated 2 connections. That cause outside the network can not access them.

  I just disabled a single connection and everything works perfectly.

  I thank everyone!

• Control an ESXi server with vSphere client on the internet?

  I work for a company who manage multiple servers, most of which run ESXi. There are times where the machine virtual which is y executed is insensitive, or the crash. When this occurs often we have no other choice than to see and access the console from a client within the network. I was wondering if it was possible for me to open a port like 12345 and move to the ESXi host, giving me access to his inventory and power VM States and all the usual stuff, only remote rather than within the network. I want to know if it's possible, and what are the ports are necessary for me to do. I am aware that you can install as a virtual machine and the remote client in this, but I prefer to keep things as they are. I just want access to host servers ESXi by opening the Client vSphere on my own machine remotely and feeding the external IP address of customers and manage that way. Thanks for your time.

  Hello..

  Yes, it is indeed possible... All the ports that are required to achieve this are listed in the KB below:

• Communicate the guests as well as the ESXi Server VCenter?

  Hello:

  We deploy a solution virtual machine using Vcenter and ESXi 4.1 the VCenter logically is in a different subnet from the ESX servers.

  Is it true that the VCenter server does not need to communicate with the IP addresses of the colleagues of the BONE... and that the vcenter needs access to the IP addresses of the ESXi servers? What (if any) features is lost if the Vcenter server talks to the ESXi ip addresses?

  Please advise and thank you,

  -Chris

  vCenter communicates only to host servers ESXi and vSphere client only connection. vCenter is unable to communicate with the virtual machine, such as the virtual machines are linked to different virtual switch that would have properties different network (vlan and etc.).

• What are the methods to ESXi upgrade with 1 single ESXi Server?

  The server requires her to get any update through the update maintenance Manager or VMA is not possible that both run on the ESXi server.

  What options are left during a server ESXi 4.0 to ESXi 4.1? I can think of root direct-ssh access and the 'host Update Utiliy', even if that fails with errors.

  You must use the vCLI, then update the host vihostupdate.pl. Page 55 @ http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_upgrade_guide.pdf
