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.

  • Export the VM of ESXi to 'not connected' ESXi Server using converter

    Hi all

    Sorry for the newbie question - I've seen a lot of messages about the export of a machine virtual workstation or player, etc, but I couldn't find one for my purpose.

    We need to export a virtual machine that was created on a server ESXi Server ESXi in another place that has no network connectivity between them using the converter v 4.01 Standalone (?). The idea is the following: export image, copy the files on USB key, send to a remote site, they will import image on their server ESXi (same version).

    What is the best way for me to do using the converter?  I thought that I could simply select the VMWare Infrastructure Server as a destination, but that seems to be an option only if you have the remote a plugged into the network.

    Does anyone have suggestions as to the export type that may possibly be more coherent than the others? That is to say; export as "vmware workstation or another vmware virtual machine" say vs "virtual appliance"?  Are just as reliable a prospect of import export and then?

    Thanks in advance!

    If the two ESXi is the same version that you can do is go to the browser data store and download all the VMS in the USB drive and then go to Site 2 and upload is via the browser of data store. Browser for the .vmx and save the virtual machine.

    If you still want to use vmware converter to format of workstation converter so that the destination can be selected as USB key, then a workstation to vmware infrastructure in Site 2.

  • How to download the file on the Esxi Server using c# and SCP data store

    Hi I want to connect to 6.0 Esxi hypervisor and download a file.

    I write code to connect with esxi:

      using (var scp = new ScpClient("10.8.58.26", 22, "root", "MyPasword"))

    {

    scp.Connect();

    }

    But I'm getting exception "no suitable authentication method proven to complete authentication.". SSH on the hypervisor is now and manually I can connect using PuTTY or winscp.

    I tried with linux and it works. Is it possible to perform this action? How should I authenticate properly to esxi?

    Thanks for the replays, but I understand it on my own. I use winscp library instead of the scp. Code looks like this:

    SessionOptions sessionOptions = new SessionOptions

    UserName = "root."

  • With VMware View Server using LDAPS (port 636)

    I've been responsible for something that seems impossible/not supported.

    VMware View Server uses port 389 for LDAP.  My task is to do view to use instead the port 636 (LDAP over SSL).  The accusation is that the replicated servers in VMware View data not encrypted between other on port 389.

    So far in my quest, I did no progress in this project.  However, I was able to test that manual connections can now be performed (with ADSI Edit) with port port SSL 636 other replicated servers view.  Problem is that the view seems to have hard-coded to use port 389 and cannot be moved to use LDAPS.

    There are instructions to do something like this in vCenter (http://www.vstable.com/2012/01/27/vcenter-5-active-directory-web-services-error-1209/) (Security Virtual Lab: & amp; nbsp;) Architecture - Blog - proSauce), but nothing related to the sight of the surfaces in a Google search.

    Someone at - it have a Yes or whinny if possible?

    EDIT: Moved to the correct community.

    It is not easy being responsible for something impossible!

    Connection view servers have an AD LDS instance, and replication between servers using the AD LDS replication. This is a replication mechanism secure by using the replication RPC, LDAP and Kerberos and secure without having to implement LDAP over SSL on 636.

    The articles you refer to are actually on the definition of a port number unused LDAPS access of Web Active Directory Services with vCenter Server to get rid of an event without danger. It does nothing to do with replication between LDAP servers. View prevents remote access Active Directory Web services anyway with a specific firewall rule so that remote users have no access to it.

    The only reason why you can use LDAPS with AD LDS is if you support simple LDAP connections. The use of SSL would mean that the simple bind passwords are not sent in the clear. In the case of the view, simple LDAP connections are not enabled in any case.

    In summary, what you're trying to do is useless.

  • Three computers networked fine then suddenly the error message «...» Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Not enough server storage is available to process this command. "

    I had a network that worked very well with three 2 computers running Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Home Edition 1. Suddenly, the network has just stopped allowing certain communications giving the above error message (I have another thread address with XP to Vista computers). The main computer with XP Pro, I'll call A, the second computer with XP Pro, I'll call B and third with XP Home will be C. All computers can share files and printers then without any changes to the system that occurred the following:

    A can access the documents and printers on B and C

    B may NOT have access to documents or printers on one, but access to documents and printers on C

    C cannot have access to the documents on one, but CAN access A printer and CAN access the documents and printers on B

    When access is denied error message is displayed:
    "\\A\My documents is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Not enough server storage is available to process this command. "(\\A\ being the computer that I am trying to access)

    As I said access from all computers on this network was working fine a week ago and there has been absolutely no changes made to the network. I checked the following

    1. workgroup name on all computers are the same
    2. file and printer sharing are enabled for all computers.
    3. all computers may been from each computers just denied in some cases.

    The firewall that runs on all three machines is AVG and there were no changes to the one last week, but I checked that sharing is allowed.

    I even tried to run the Configuration Wizard from the network on all computers to see if it works, but the same exact problems occur after doing this.

    I met this problem now THREE times. I can't believe that I'm the only one who has this problem and I can't believe that there isn't a solution for it. None of the Microsoft documentation has even a hint of a solution for this specific problem.

    I need a solution that closes completely the network at my church, and they cannot afford to buy printers and others for each of their computers.

    This error message is misleading. See article Knowledge Base Microsoft Antivirus software may Cause Event ID 2011 for a likely solution, specifying a value of IRPStackSize 15 on A computer.

  • How can I migrate an ESXi host since a vDS in a vSwitch with NAS storage on vDS

    I need to move some on a vDS esxi hosts to a standard vSwitch to move a new vCenter ESXi hosts

    I have two 10 GB network adapters that manage the ports VM, NAS storage and vmotion.

    Is there a documented procedure to move a vDS in a vSwitch, particularly for migration from NAS storage to a vSwitch?

    Thank you

    Tom

    No, you will need to do this on a per-host basis.

    I really recommend doing one by one, not in a hurry and checking all the networking before you proceed to the next step. Example: after migrating the vmkernel interfaces, check on a ssh connection to the host if it can vmkping the NAS. Before you move all the virtual machines on the host to the switch std, move one and check if the VM networking continues to function. This will prevent errors and downtime.

  • 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!

  • Using a single ESXi Server HA...

    I'm testing VSphere HA for the possible deployment in a small business environment.  Here's my question:

    I realize that the destination account of AH is to have features of failover using 2 or more servers ESX... since I don't have that a single ESXi server running 12 comments VM... can I use HA to restart a virtual machine that stops unexpectedly?

    So then... with this be configured?  I guess you must always define a Cluster... with an ESX Server... but what else would be needed.

    (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.

    ESXi does not support the scattered disk format used by VMware Server by default. What you can do is to follow the recommendations of weinstein5and use VMware Converter or convert the hard file in a supported format (zeroedthick, eagerzeroedthick or thin) using the vmkfstools in ESXi command line tool.

    Assuming that the virtual disk has no snapshots, you can follow these steps in order to maintain the virtual disk file name.

    • create a 'old' subfolder in the folder of the VM on the ESXi host and move the hard files in this folder
    • Basic virtual machine folder run for example vmksftools old-i /hard-d thin vmname.vmdk
    • If the virtual machine lights without problem, you can remove the "old" subdirectory
