Accident of ESX 3.5 but virtual Center did not perform vMotion on virtual machines

Hello

We have 3 ESX servers on Virtual Center 2.5. One of the ESX Server suddenly restarted due to hardware failure. There were 5 virtual machines on this particular ESX host.

When we check all the VMs who resided on the ESX host touched, he has just restarted and didn't vMotion for the rest ESX servers

The question is why don't the vMotion VMs to the rest of the other servers. The rest of the ESX host have more than enough CPU and RAM to accommodate all 5VMs

My understanding of vMotion would be when an ESX host is down, all the virtual machines will be migrated to other ESX hosts on the cluster.

When an ESX host is down, the migration of all virtual machines to other ESX hosts in the cluster is not a VMotion functionality, but this is a feature of VMware HA. The vSphere availability Guide:

"VMware HA offering high availability for virtual machines by pooling their and the hosts they reside on in a cluster." Cluster hosts are monitored and in case of failure, the virtual machines on a failed host are restarted on alternate hosts. »

Therefore, enable HA of the cluster to achieve the desired result.

Best regards, Robert

  • ESX host for a virtual machine specific?

    An ESX (out of 3) host in a cluster has a physique more NIC

    We would like to place a special virtual machine on the ESX host.  Is it possible to attribute this VM to this particular host?  Needless to say, if there is a failure and that the VM is propelled upward on another ESX host, we will migrate it back manually.

    Your opinion is requested.

    Thank you

    With vSphere 4.1, you have host affinity.

    Otherwise, there's another thing, as to connect to a local iso file...

    But something can vMotion broken and/or HA.

  • ESX 3.5 U5 Virtual Machine memory usage

    Hello

    I have a question about memory consumption I see on my ESX 3.5U5 hosts. I googled around and discover how ESX deals with management of memory... but I'm not sure that I put all the pieces together correctly in my brain. I hope you guys can help clarify this for me.

    I have a few guests but will use one as an example:

    This host has 64 GB of physical memory. There are a number of virtual machines residing on this host and the total amount of memory that I attributed to them is 40 GB. In VirtualCenter, I see on the Summary tab is 21,65/64 GB global memory on the host use and this is due to the fact that not all of the virtual machine are fully utilized.

    Now more confusing part... I've attached a picture that contains screenshots of what I'm about to discuss...

    • In the tab control performance, the host indicates the high memory limit (100%) as being ~ 40 GB. I guess that's because I assigned only this amount of memory. Is it a correct assumption?

    • Why the configuration tab memory doesn't display that Virtual Machines use all 60 GB of memory available? I am not mistaken in assuming this is due to the fact that the host use and wrote to all parts of the physical memory as time passes (for overcommiting and balloon?) I expect this number to reflect either the current amount of memory of memory allocated to each virtual machine or memory present consumption.

    Any idea is appreciated.

    Hello

    Instead of directly answering your questions, I will explain what each image represents. This will explain I hope that what you're seeing and why.

    -At the top image, what it says is correct - this is memory that has been consumed by the virtual machines and may be less than what is given to them.

    -L' the Middle image is to show you the total physical memory that is available for the use of virtual machines after that things like the service console and general system has been deleted. Not what is used or has left, but what total physical memory can be used.

    -In regards to the third graph your hypothesis is correct. It is the memory allocated to the VM. This is different from consumed which is the actual physical memory, use virtual machines.

    After reading my answer I'm not sure I have made better or worse? Let me know if further details are required.

    Kind regards

  • ZPrint accident of process before starting the virtual machine

    I see the following messages in system.log everytime my Windows VM starts. These accidents zprint apparently never happened before today. There is no previous accident for zprint report. The messages below always repeat 3 times before other messages on VM, commissioning.

    09/02/15 21:20:33... Report of incidents ReportCrash [7538] advice for zprint processes [7537]

    09/02/15 21:20:33... ReportCrash [7538] error saved crashreport to /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/zprint_2015-02-09-212033_...crash using uid: gid 0: 0, euid: egid 0: 0

    Extract from the report of crash:

    Exception type: EXC_ARITHMETIC (SIGFPE)

    Exception codes: EXC_I386_DIV (division by zero)

    Why the merger issues the command zprint? If she has always done so before, why is zprint now blocking?

    (If I run the terminal zprint command without specifying the name of the area it blocks the same way.)

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Some things that I did today that might be important:

    My Mac Pro locked up while I was running Firefox (open Youtube and Yahoo pages).  I pushed the power button / stop. The virtual Windows machine was running at the time.

    After restarting the Mac Pro, when I tried to start the virtual machine, I got the message: "... vmdk has one or more internal errors that cannot be repaired. The only option is to restore from a backup copy of this disk... »

    So I renamed the corrupt VM bundle, then drag-and - drop copied all of the virtual machine to a backup volume.

    When I started the virtual machine restored, I noticed the crash zprint above messages.

    Thank you!

    OS X 10.5.8, Fusion 3.1.4

    Fusion uses zprint to internal information of the kernel which are very difficult to obtain by other means.

    Given how long it has been since OS X 10.5.8 or Fusion 3.1.4 were changed, either something has been corrupted or something has changed in the system environment for that to happen early.  I can't find any other references to zprint triggering a SIGFPE anywhere else on the Internet...

    If you do not already done, I highly recommend running disk utility and check (and possibly repair) the disks of your host before doing anything else.

    See you soon,.

  • ESX host has a virtual machine that must be behind a physical firewall

    We have several hosts of ESXi.  Some are standard ver3.5, while others are standard ver4.1.  All guests of stand alone.

    A host ESX ver3.5 has 6 virtual computers assigned to the network port of the single on a vSwitch stand-alone virtual computer group.   This switch has 3 uplinks.

    One of the virtual machines must place the physical while the rest remains in front of the firewall as well as the ESX host firewall.   I am told that this can be done by assigning one of of the uplinks to a subnet that is behind the firewall.  And this is the best way to manage it.   My question is: is it possible?   My experience limited with physical firewall and what knowledge I have of VI3, we would need to create a separate vSwitch to do this and assign the VM to these switches... and that's if the uplink can be assigned to a physical switch that connects to another switch behind the firewall (I think).

    Something doesn't seem quite in here... I'm not sure it will work.

    Sounds good to me. If it is a separate physical switch to connect, then you will need an additional vSwitch. If it's just a separate VLAN you could - depending on your current configuration (VST) - just create a new port with the appropriate VLAN ID configured Group.

  • ESX ESX and 64-bit virtual machines

    Hello

    For a specific need, I virtualize ESX in ESX. It's something that I did before without a problem.

    Today, I need to run a VM for 64 bit inside the virtual ESX (which runs on a physical ESX that you understood).

    When I start the 64-bit VM, I get the following message:

    Host CPU is not compatible with the virtual machine requires at level 0 x 80000001 CPUID register "edx".

    * Longmode; required when a virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest OS
    For systems with Intel processors, which allows to VT in the BIOS is required to support longmode.

    Does anyone know how to enable VT on the VM to ESX from ESX VM BIOS is really basic, I can't find any option?

    Thank you

    Nested ESX/ESXi hosts cannot run 32-bit VM... It is one of the limits very known execution of a nested host. Basically, the physical host is passing information to the virtual host that cannot transmit it (again) to the virtual machine running inside the nested host. You can send the info so far.

  • Unistalling ESXi & install ESX, what of my virtual machines?

    Hi all

    I think unistalling vSphereHypervisor (ESXi 4.1) and installing vsphere (ESX 4.1) on my home server.

    How to preserve my 8 VMs or backup them?

    In addition, I will win by opting for ESX 4.1?

    At this point, the difference between 4.1 ESX and ESXi 4.1 shrinks, for what you can do through administrative tasks. Get the unit of MAS, and you have more features. With the new ability to remote SSH on ESXi 4.1, you win a lot of what ESX 4.x used to bring to the table (by itself without the need to modify a file of confd ESXi 4)...

    So unless you have tools/software that works only in ESX 4.1, I wouldn't wipe and install ESX 4.1... Firstly, you'll need to do the reverse, when you want to go to the next version. On the other hand, most third party tools have been updated to ESXi 4.1, are being updated, or will be before too long. At least those who actually want to keep their customers running VMware products.

    I moved my VM to a SAN/NAS in my lab at home. It is very handy when I want to update the host, since I can have run them on a temporary host (a good system, using ESXi 4.1 installed on a USB key). Finally, I have at least two hosts in my lab running 24 x 7 so that I can more easily update things. In addition, it will allow me to run several virtual machines at the same time.
