• Cannot add cluster hosts

  I'm done with this...

  It started when I had to change my non routable IP addresses management network to my private IP addresses.  I kept getting errors with the host, not the new IP address.  I solved this problem, but now when I try to add the hosts again in my group, I get an error:

  "A general error has occurred: passwd: error immediate criticism-abandonment."  blah blah blah stack of error: "unable to set the account VIM on the host, could not set the password. It is possible that your password does not meet the criteria of complexity defined by the system. »

  It is ESXi 5.5u3, I tried the following:

  Remove the vpxa account, restarted host - same mistake

  Restart the services vpxa - same mistake

  Restart the vCenter - same mistake

  VI etc/pam.d/passwd: N0, N1, N2, N3, N4 - same mistake

  VI etc/pam.d/passwd: n0=-1,n1=-1,n2=-1,n3=-1,n4=-1--meme error

  Checked the system authentication, do not know what its supposed to look like, but both hosts match

  For the life of me, I can't understand it and Google has basically the same steps that I have just listed, I don't want to really blow the configuration and reinstall, but he is looking to get down to that... unless someone here knows where else the complexity of password or criteria for the system is set up...

  Fixed the problem myself... Thank you!!

  Action taken:

  Removed the vpxa account - I don't really think this has no effect on the issue

  Retirement services - did nothing until I've known really

  After coming home and watching my esxi, pam.d file hosts and comparing the differences, I just on a hunch deleted after /$ISA / pam_passwdqc.so, then re-entered the information as it was on my host at home.

  SSH in hosts:

  cd\ etc.

  PAM.d cd\

  passwd VI

  My hosts had /$ISA/pam_passwdqc.so retry = 3 min = disabled, disabled, disabled, disabled, 7.7

  My hosts at work had /$ISA/pam_passwdqc.so retry = N N0, N1, N2, N3, N4

  I edited the line to reflect the password of 14 characters required and the value of the retry N, so it looked like this

  /$ISA/pam_passwdqc.so retry = N min = disabled, disabled, disabled, disabled, disabled, 14

  : wq

  output

  Restart the services, actually I rebooted the host, then add in vCenter without problem

• The name already exists error when you try to add the host to the cluster

  I created a cluster that currently has no inside host. When I try to add a host I get an error that says: "the name"ip address of the host, I add"already exists. I don't understand why I get this error if there is no showing on the cluster host. See below for the screenshot.

  Your screen shot shows hosts is already part of the inventory - if the host is already part of the theinventory have not need to add it again - simply drag and drop it into the cluster

• Cannot add a host disconnected from a cluster

  Hi people,

  I have a very strange problem - 1 my cluster host is always shown as disconnected. When I connect it manually, it is coonected, begins to configure HA and after that which is disconnected again.

  Deactivation of HA - same problem. He remains connected seconds (up to a minute) and then again once disconnected.

  You have any ideas?

  DNS is a good first suspect, but it can also be the management agent itself.  The type of service console

  service vmware-vpxa restart
  

• Add ESXi4 host to vCenter 5.5 has failed, host do not support VSANS

  Hi all. I have to build a laboratory to test running with vCenter 5.5 and a server Dell PE 1950 ESXi 4.  I try to add the ESXi 4 host to vCenter 5.5 (towards a test cluster), however, the process of adding a host failed with the error message "host"x.x.x.x"does not support VSANS".  If anyone of you experience this problem, and is there a way around this problem?  I understand VSAN is a new feature on ESXi 5.1 and later, but I don't expect you to stop me adding ESXi 4 on the cluster... Thank you.

  My bad.  I thought about it.  I activated the VSANS on the cluster; Once I disabled the option to VSAN on the cluster, I am able to add the host ESXi 4...

• Add a host to cluter running vm on vcenter

  Hello

  We have three processors PROLIANT DL360 G6 Intel X 5560. One of them has a virtual machine that acts as a server vcenter.

  I create a cluster for HA and added 2 & 3. When I drag and drop the host who, as the installed vcenter, I get an error

  A host with virtual machines under tension or suspension can not enter a VMotion compatibility improved cluster that is configured for a lower CPU feature base of the host.

  The CPU on all servers is the same, but I also noticed that the EVM under summary host mode for the host with vcenter. Now, I don't know why it is disabled. I did the bios settings processor that VT is enabled.

  I tried the steps in KB 1013111but, which does not help because I can't drag the host with vm in this cluster.

  Can someone please. Thank you very much

  If I understand what you're trying to do... you have created an active cluster with VCA and try to add to the host that is currently running the vm vcenter.  With active EVC, you can't snap all guests who have vm running or suspended on it.  You can uncheck either CVS (which you should not need since all processors are the same, unless you want to add more hosts in the foreseeable future) or attempt to vmotion the VC on one of the other guests.  I don't know if it will allow you to do so, but worth it.

  If it won't allow you to vmotion, you'll have to do a manual migration cold.  Turn off the VC, connect directly with the client to the host with the VC vsphere, remove the virtual machine inventory, then connect to one of the other hosts, browse the data store, right click the vc .vmx file and "add to the inventory.  Then you should be able to feed the VCenter and add your last host in the cluster.

• Add a host to vcenter ip or dns?

  I must add two hosts virtual Center and create a cluster, I must add the host using the IP or DNS address? Add a host IP: 192.168.10.11 or vmware1.cliente.locale?

  use the DNS name.  Especially if you use HA.  name resolution, in my opinion is recommended.

• Can no longer add ESXi host to vCenter but OK VI Client connects

  I removed an ESXi host in a cluster on vCenter. Now when I try to add the host (whether for the cluster or stand-alone) the add hosts Wizard appears and has the correct information, but when I cliquerai on closing, that nothing happens for a few minutes, then I get the error:

  Unable to reach the specified host... Maybe it's because this host is not available on the network, there is a problem with the network configuration or management on the host services do not react.

  However, I can connect to the host directly with the VI client and which works very well, even though the events tab displays "VFAT: 2583: Possible FAT Corruption." My copy of ESXi is on a flashdrive in a HP Blade.

  I tried to reboot the host, but it makes no difference. Several of the responses to other users of similar problems is recommended to perform "service vmware-vpxa restart" on the host, but this does not apply to ESXi. I also tried to restart the vCenter, but that makes no difference either.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Will be

  Download iso hpvm-recovery on HP site and reinstall ESXi on flash drive.

  UPD: Yes, as Neil said, check your key USB HP if you bought ESXi Embedded. If you have the Green key aluminum, require the replacement of HP. And then, you definitely have to download iso that I mentioned above

• Cannot add a host, after he was unresponsive, disconnect timeout but eventually is disconnected

  This morning one of the hosts is displayed in the form does not and virtual center reported and error with DRS he was not taken in charge on a host in its current state.

  I tried to unplug but it froze underway at 37%, for a little over an hour before asking, it has been disconnected. I was then able to remove it, but I can't add it now back in her time out right after pasting in the user name and password. I can not connect via VirtualCenter directly to it either, but I can through PuTTY over ssh.

  I tried to restart the following services: vmkauthd, mgmt-vmware and vmware-vpxa. The final a mgmt-vmware stop just after the closure of the vigilance and the process lasts 15 minutes before successfully complete.

  Once this is complete I can add the host back in and all virtual machines are still working on it.

  No idea why that happened or what to check for a clue? I want to stop this never happen.

  Thank you

  Also, check that your service console has enough memory to do its thing.  I had a similar problem a few months back and it turned out that my service console was starved for memory.  The default 292 MB is a bit light, once you install your management of the seller (especially the HP stuff) agents, add to a cluster, select the DRS, etc.

• "Mem.Usage.Average" against the total aggregate of cluster host memory

  Please see the attachment for the whole story.

  Please give me a sanity check on this. I used the "Mem.Usage.Average" as a % against allocated VM MemoryMB. The sum of these calculations escaped by far the actual calculations of the vCenter % memory-based. So, I changed my calculations that you see in the worksheet to use the 'Mem.Usage.Average' against the total aggregate available on all hosts in the cluster. This amount came to less than 1% of my calculations based on vCenter GUI. Am I right against the total aggregate memory cluster host instead of against VM memory assigned using 'Mem.Usage.Average '? Thxs-

  

  SDK is not clear on "total configured memory available or". https://www.VMware.com/support/developer/converter-SDK/conv55_apireference/memory_counters.html Part description of memory used as a percentage of the total configured or available memory.

  
  

  $start = (get-Date). AddDays(-5)

  Get-cluster-location ActualClusterName | Get - VM | Where {$_.} PowerState - eq "Receptor"} @{N = "Mem.Usage.Average"; E = {[Math]: round ((($_ |))} Get-Stat - Stat mem.usage.average - start $start - $finish - IntervalMins 1800 - MaxSamples finishing (250) | Measure - Object - average value). Average), 2)}}"

  
  

  Cluster is 6 hosts with 128G per host for total of 768G (786432 MB of RAM), there are 118 powered on virtual machines

  
  

  
  

  for me the SDK says that percentage reflects the relationship between the memory 'active' in the virtual machine against the memory configured for the virtual machine.

  A configured with 8 GB of memory virtual computer that has 'use' of 25% is actively using 2 GB of memory.

  

  I think that your numbers you get for VMS are biased because of the great period of time during which you take the average (see previous answer).

  You can cross-check the mem.usage.average with the mem.active.average.

  In the following code, I calculate the different 2 meters actual memory used by the virtual machine.

  $clusterName = "mycluster.

  $stat = 'mem.usage.average ','mem.active.average '.

  $vm = get - Cluster - name $clusterName | Get - VM | where {$_.} PowerState - eq "Receptor"}

  $stats = get-Stat-entity $vm - Stat $stat - Realtime - MaxSamples 1

  $stats | Group-object - property {$_.} @entity.name} | %{

  [PSCustomObject] @ {}

  VM = $_. Group [0]. @entity.name

  MemoryMB = $_. Group [0]. Entity.MemoryMB

  MemUsagePerc = $_. Group | where {$_.} MetricId - eq "mem.usage.average"} | Select - ExpandProperty value

  MemUsageMB = [int]($_.) Group [0]. Entity.MemoryMB * ($_.) Group | where {$_.} MetricId - eq "mem.usage.average"}). Value) / 100

  MemActiveMB = ($_.) Group | where {$_.} MetricId - eq "mem.active.average"} | Select - ExpandProperty Value) / 1 KB

  }

  }

  The result shows a specific virtual machine, these two numbers are close enough to be considered the same imho.

  That they should be in fact, the mem.usage.average is derived from the mem.active.average.

  

• Add a host Handshake alert vCAC

  I'm writing a workflow for vCAC, but first of all, I have to add the host vCAC vCO. When I try to run the workflow 'Add vCAC host' he died immediately with the error ' handshake alert: unrecognized_name'. "

  This forum works against vCAC 6.1 with vCO 5.5.2

  Any thoughts on the fix?

  Click with the right button on the workflow and select copy. You must do this because the built-in workflow is locked, so you cannot change them. If you copy them, you will be able to edit this copy.

• Cannot add a host - you do not hold independent privilege add host

  I'm trying to add a host to my data center that was there before (taken out to solve a problem) and I can't do it.

  I get the error:

  Refused permission to perform this operation.

  "You do not privilege" Home > inventory > Add standalone host "on data center xyz.

  This may be the cause?

  Well I checked the membership to the Group on the subject of data center and found that I was in a group that had only READ access. Myself removed from the Group and everything is fine. Thanks for all the suggestions!

• Cannot add ESXi host to vCenter Server

  Hello

  I created a home set up a VMware datacenter for study purposes. I currently have 2 virtual machines: an ESXi host with vCenter Server Appliance deployed on this subject.

  I configured the server vCenter through web interface device and I have connected using vSphere Client.

  I created a data center, but when I try to add a host, I get "ERROR: the request exceeded."
  Connection with vSphere client directly to the ESXi host works.

  I can connect using SSH to the ESXi host.

  I have disabled the firewall on the ESXi host.

  I have read many articles on the kbase but nothing helped me to solve this problem.

  You have any ideas?

  I finally got to understand.

  It seems like my vmware workstation is not connected to the esxi as a physical host in my local network host, and so I was able to ping it unit of vCenter Server (but it worked the other way around, and that's why I thought it was ok).

  After the connection to the physical LAN of VMware workstation settings, everything worked fine.

• Cannot run add a host vCAC to vCO

  I tried to run the workflow 'Add a host vCAC' and continues with invalid credentials.  I tried the account a local administrator on the system of IaaS, an AD that is in the Administrators group and the based AD account service IaaS components are installed as.  None of them have worked.

  How can I dig deeper to understand what is malfunctioning and what I need for this power?

  Someone at - he was able to do with AD to service account?

  Solution:

  Setup

  • ROOT domain credentials are named vCACp
  • Credentials of field CHILD named vCACt
  • IaaS server is in the field of CHILD
  • ROOT & CHILD have a two-way trust relationship.

  ROOT\vCACp & CHILD\vCACt to the administrator group on IaaS.Child.local

  Admission tests

  Go to https://iaas.child.com/repository/data/MetaModel.svc/ and put in

  ROOT\vCACp credential and it works very well.  It returns the XML code.

  CHILD\vCACt credential and it works very well.  It returns the XML code.

  If the permissions work on the side of IaaS.

  Go to vCO and run the "Add to vCAC host" and put in vCACp ID with the Netbios name of the ROOT.  Breaks down...

  Try again with vCACt using the netbios name of the CHILD... work properly.

  Apparently, there is a limitation/known issue with the use of vCO and cross domain trust.   Not sure of the details and am still digging for a Ko or a few other details about this.
