Activation of the ESX 4.1 frames

I read the article on activation of the frames, and I'm confused.

I have a vswitches existing on two ESX 4.1 hosts that are used for storing IP I want to enable jumbo frames on.

The Vcenter server they are connected to running 5.0 Update 1.

I understand that I must activate the vswitch of frames with the esxcfg-vswitch command and set the mtu of the portgroup.

It appears the mtu on the switch and exchanges can be done via Vcenter Vcenter 5. Is there a reason to do command line because my hosts are managed by a server Vcenter 5?

If the option to set the MTU on the vSwitch groups and the port is available, there is not need to do it on the command line. In fact, I was not aware of this and thought it was only available with the hosts also in version 5.

What I recommend in any case, it is to test if frames to - end work after you configure things. To make this race

vmkping s 8972 - d

to ensure that managers are not segmented. For an interesting explanation on this subject, see http://rickardnobel.se/archives/992

  • Reboot the ESX host as possible while on VM snapshots exist?

    Can you safely do a reboot of a host ESX VM there was on this host which are off (of course), but have a snapshot exists at this time?

    Because we restart some ESX host but you also have to install some Windows updates on the virtual machine on these hosts. Normally, we take a snapshot of the WM, install updates, restart, check if everything is working fine, and then remove the snapshot. But after a reboot the ESX host we also check if the VM have started and are working very well. In this case, it would cost me 2 restart and check for WM

    When I could do the snapshots, installation of updates, power off the virtual machine, reboot the ESX host, turn on the virtual machine, all check and then delete the snapshots, it saves me time. Only thing I don't know and can't find is so it record to make a snapshot is by restarting the EX host and if the snapshot can be deleted after reboot normally.

    Welcome to the community,

    don't worry, a restart of the host is quite VMs, regardless of whether they are active or not snapshots.

  • Questions of VLAN to the ESX virtual machine

    Guys,

    We run ESX on a R710 with 4 network ports and two virtual servers that it contains.

    We want a server VLAN 1 re-branded and the other to VLAN 2 from the actuall switch. Only problem is there is room for 1 VLAN because all of our physical network cards are already used. Here's the brerakdown.

    vmNIC 0 is for the management port (1 nic physical)

    vmNIC 1 is for VMS (1 nic physical)

    vmNIC 2 & 3 is for the iSCSI network (NIC physical 2)

    So you can see we have not more physical NIC left to assing one of these virtual machines to a VLAN different

    Any ideas? I created a virtual switch, but we of course no physical NIC to attach to it. When I tried to add the existing virtual machien nic, he warned me that the virtual machines will be moved to it. A little confusing, but how do I get this other server on one VLAN different?

    If you enter just one ID VLAN on the parameters of port group ESX will mark all frames leaving the portgroup with a small (4 bytes) 'tag' indicating the id VLAN. This tag will then be analyzed by the physical switch will then understand what VLAN, this framework needs to be sent in.

    However, the switch must be configured to accept incoming frames with certain tags. If this is not the case, most of the switches will drop frames with identification tags VLAN strangers.

  • Activity of the horrible disk with comments off

    I hope someone can help because it becomes uncontrollable. I used to run ESXi 3.5 last year and had to move away it is for this reason. At the time it was Debian 5.0 running and a small another VM. A few times a day there is something really bad drive maybe 5-10 minutes, enough that users would be complaining and then it would go away. At the time, it was a single hard drive Western Digital. The thing is that the witness disk in ESXi activity would not show no disk activity, as if it were the host not prompted to do so.

    Fast forward to today, I'm giving ESXi another shot, this time with 4.0. This different time machine. 8 GB memory DDR2, two VM running, a total of 9 TB of usable space on a controller 5i Perc from Dell, Intel Quad Core processor. Works very well for a few days, my raid finally ended synchronization and no disk activity. So tonight I noticed that the headlights are regular, major activity. So I check the performance table, no activity of the disk for the client, or said it. But the hard drive lights, all nuts. I check the Perc card and all disks are sync'd and the host spare sits idle... all is well. Well not really, users are complaining about latency of disk again. I go ahead and stop ESXi and restart, the headlights are always crazy even if all the cards in ESXi and almost flatlined.

    To give you an idea, the only two VM that is running is Debian 5 and Windows Server 2003, but the two don't show any major activity.

    My question is this. ESXi repeats some type of garbage collection every so many hours?

    Like when ESX planning time at the prompt, please allow the number of cores as vCPU is assigned for this period of time.  In the comments, unless it is actually 100% on all CPU sees it runs idle thread [/ b] OS on carrots.  That is why the whole machine capacity is reduced, because they are not available for the actual work by the other guests at that time there.

    ESX has also a few CPU resources that is always related to base 0.  It's a box of hearts, affecting more than 2vCPU to a guest means that ESX cannot work at the same time as this comments, not to mention any other guest (work like vSwitch, disc, developing code for execution etc etc).

  • The ESX host and 64-bit

    Hello

    I am developing an ESX solution, and because of the budget and space constrants just gave me a single server.  I installed ESX 4.0 on this server, and then I created virtual machines that have become the ESX 3.5 servers.  I was able to raise virtual machines to power and run in the nested virtual machines.  My problem is, now I'm developing a solution ESX 4.0, but we use Windows 2008 64bi.  Does anyone know how to get a host internal 64-bit to be able to run on an ESX 4.0 host externally.

    Here is a small representation of the environment:

    Physical box ESX 4.0

    -Virtual Server ESX 4.0

    -Nested virtual Windows 2008 64 bit server

    Does anyone know how to get the 64-bit of Windows 2008 Server to run on virtual server ESX 4.0.  I've already activated VT on ESX 4.0 virtual settings, but I can't find a place in the Virtual Machine BIOS to enable VT any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Post edited by: Kirizan to the difficulty of setting in the form

    Material assistance (VT) is not virtualized.  Thus, nested virtual machines cannot be 64-bit and is the reason why you don't see VT options in the BIOS of the virtual machine .

    If I read you correctly, you have ESX4 installed on bare metal and you have ESX 3.5 VMs.  Now that you are trying to create a virtual machine in 64-bit Windows.  You can create them in the ESX 3.5 environment.  You must create a virtual ESX4 machine.  (IOW, not nested).

    In addition, after you enable VT in physical BIOS, you must turn off the physical machine.  (Not just restart.  (Power off).

  • Restart VM after you restart the ESX host

    Hi all

    I am using VSphere Enterprise.

    Here my little question, makes VMs always restart after back us running or stopping of the esx host?

    In esx 3.5, when I reboot an esx host, all the virtual machines in this host are still alive (without restarting).

    Pls advice

    Thank you

    The only way, a virtual machine can rest running when it is running on ESX server is restarted is that if FT is activated - in this case, the connections will be seamless switch to the virtual machine "shadow". This is a feature of vSphere, so I don't see how you did not the VMs restart on your ESX 3.5 - even with VMware HA environment, there will be a short break because the VMs will be will be running on the other nodes in the cluster.

  • Target ball and ball over Active on the host with a lot of free memory

    Just at the moment where I think I understand the management of the ESX memory, something confuses me once again.  My understanding of the balloon pilot, is that when an ESX host has need of more memory to be allocated to other virtual machines as the VMKernel steals memory back from the virtual computer running.  However, I have a virtual machine which seems to indicate that the target of ball is well above what is memory 'Active', and the host ESX virtual machine running on a 6 GB of unused memory.  I think that this might have led this virtual machine to go into a State of forgetfulness once already, because I found it does not, only to discover that she used only 30% of CPU and 2 GB Active out of 6 GB of memory allocated, but making a ton of swap memory.  What gives?

    Why in the world of the balloon pilot would target memory on a VM running busy, when there is a lot of free memory available on the host, and why would be a beginning of comments Exchange when it uses only a fraction of the memory allocated to it and the host is sitting on the free memory pletty?  None of my other virtual machines have memory usage charts that look like this.

    This can happen even in the absence of resource pools. Check your settings of VM, "resources" tab and make sure that the unlimited checkbox that she checked on the memory and CPU...

  • help - vm to 100% with Betclic resources cpu, but the ESX host to 15% cpu

    Hi all

    5 * HP BL460c Blade each with two Quad Core Xeon E5450 and and 8 GB of RAM.

    ESX 3.5

    VirtualCenter 2.5.0

    DRM and active HA.

    I need assistance with resource pools. Currently I have them all together for:

    • expandable

    • unlimited

    for the CPU and memory. I tried without reserve and with reservations, and it is indifferent to the result.

    I'm running a server SQL2008 (2 * vCPU, 3.5 GB of RAM) which is pretty hard. and from time to time the cpu usage spikes to 100% (6 GHz) and saturate at this time here. When I go to the graphs of the ESX host, I see up to 3 physical processes responsible... and all the others are dormant...

    I'm working on why he no longer not affected resources of the ESX host. I thought that because of the resource sharing (unlimited), he could catch resource from the pool of resources of the parent (unlimited). And our Installer is very very little used - so much processing power/mem available spare parts.

    I have also some really stupid questions:

    • with SMP, 1 vCPU means only 1 pCPU host is used?
      I never thought that this true, but in this example, it seems that only 2 pCPUs on the host are used... maybe 3,.., it is difficult to tell from the graph

    • a virtual machine can use more resources from a host at the same time?

    with SMP, 1 vCPU means only 1 pCPU host is used?

    I never thought that this true, but in this example, it seems that only 2 pCPUs on the host are used... maybe 3,.., it is difficult to tell from the graph

    Yes, assign you a resource equivalent to a virtual machine to the host.  Therefore, if you assign 1 vCPU which is equivalent to a unique Jepp on the host computer in the slot.

    a virtual machine can use more resources from a host at the same time?

    No. a resource pool is on a cluster, but VM inside this POOL can only use a single host resources.  The case is from ESX can use DRS to load balancing force of the VM, the pool determines the overall consumption and that you assign VM accordingly.  But ESX is not yet there to physical resource take other hosts.  What ever host is on, it is that the only place these resources can be achieved.

    What process the SQL 2008 taking up the CPU process?  I think it's SQL Server, in which case it is not that you can do.  One of the reasons that I discourage using VM for SQL, SQL works not virtualized.

  • Memory for the ESX Cluster stats | Total, Avail, allocated, used...

    Before going out and trying to write a script that does the following, I wanted to know if someone has already written something similar:

    • Collect the total amount of RAM in each
      ESX cluster less the total RAM allocated to virtual machines in the cluster.

    • For example, if
      32 GB of RAM is available in a cluster and there are four 1 GB VMs and virtual two 2GB computers running, then we have 20 GB of RAM remaining to support 20 1 GB VMs.

    • Pull the memory allocated quantity to the VMs system compared to the amount actually used as a measure as well.

    Thank you

    I don't know if you need to calculate the memory available to the virtual machines like that.

    Not all memory in a cluster is available for running virtual machines.

    And a virtual machine does not always all of the memory that you have configured with the memory available to the cluster.

    And of course, this changes over time depending on the activity of the virtual machines.

    Take a look at the total on the cluster by vm and check if the script there is no more sense to what you try to get.

  • How to add a new virtual machine to the ESX host using the existing files?

    I need to implement a function clone without the use of cloneVM_task. I copied (a special copy) a set existing VM Directory Active Directory to a new directory and renamed copied all files prefix name of the new direcotry.  What task VM (reconfigVM_task, createVM_task or registerVM_task) command can I use to add that the new copied VM on the ESX host? I need to manually update the .vmx for new UUID file and other parameters?

    Thanks for any help.

    I think that as long as you have updated all the names to reflect the new clone you must be fine and on the first step, you will be prompted with a question.

  • Why can I not see my rings of friends activity in the application of the activity

    MY girlfriend and I have updated our watches to OS3 and our phones to ios 10.  I want to be able to share our business segments while I travel.  We set up the sharing in the application of the activity on our two phones properly, she can see my activity sounds, as well as its own however on my phone I can only see my rings.  Her rings all show 0...  She shares his activity with a colleague and she could see her too but he did not see his.

    The strange only that we noticed, it was a trait on his 'me' page in the shared activity section which said "you can also share your activity from another device signed your iCloud account. I say strange because it shows a single associated with his account and it is the only watch shown in the list of devices.

    So far I have puzzled friends Apple local Store, and I thought I would do it because both operatlong systems are so new, but to try here and e s if everyone had seen this problem.

    Hi funkypickl,

    The application of activity is a great way to share your progress with friends and family! There are a few reasons why you are unable to see the activity and progress of your friend. It may be quite possible that activity can be deliberately hidden from your view. Or you can get an invitation that you have not agreed to your girlfriend to view activity pending. Finally, with an internet connection or stable data is required for updates and progress of the activity. Please take a look at the link below for some tips that should solve your problem.

    Share your activity with your Apple Watch

    Special attention to what follows below is in the article above

    To check waiting for calls,

    Open the application of activity, tap the sharing tab, and then click Sharing. Once your friends accept the invitation, they will appear in the section sharing of enforcement activity on your iPhone.

    Stop sharing or hide your progress

    To stop sharing of activity:
    Open the application of activity on your iPhone.
    Tap sharing, your friend.
    Press to delete a friend. If you do that, they can't see your activity, and you can't see their activity. To begin sharing again, send your friend a new invitation.
    To hide your activity:
    Open the application of activity on your iPhone.
    Tap sharing, tap the friend you want to hide your activity.
    Tap hide my activity. You can still see your friends ' activity, but they do not see your activity.
    To start sharing again, click Show my activity.

    Get help with sharing activity

    Activity sharing requires iOS 10 and watch OS 3. If more than one Apple Watch associated with your iPhone, the sharing tab appear not in the activity until you update all your watches to watch OS 3.
    If you are unable to add a friend, make sure you have a Apple Watch and that you have not added the maximum number of friends. You can add up to 25 friends.
    If your iPhone can connect to the Internet and you are connected to iCloud, you can get the updates relating to the activities of your friends every day. If your iPhone can not connect for several days, or you disconnect from iCloud, you may see missing days.

    Please use the Apple Support communities to post your question. This information should have you look at progress of the activity of your friend in no time!

    Take care.
