Add esx cluster with different cpu

• Actually an ESX cluster with different times may have problems?

  Hello

  Recently, I hired a company to install a cluster EXES 3.5.

  After leaving, I discovered that the two machines, ESX1 and ESX2 have hours different (about 12 hours difference). The company said that it is impossible that the two machines have the same time, because I don't have a time server on the LAN.

  I am facing many problems with the cluster.

  Some of the machine should ocupy 100 GB and 200 GB are using (I have no pictures of this machines)

  When my VM SAP jumps from ESX1 to ESX2 services down

  The VCB does not detect the majority of virtual machines and I can't see them on BE 12

  The problem of cluster could be related?

  Thanks in advance,

  Luis Estevens

  You really do need get guests in sync. As has already been noted SAP (or any database system) will not be as if all of a sudden she is 12 hours in the future or the past.

  If you do not have an internal time server (there are a couple of freeware NTP servers that run on Windows) you can use an external time source. I use pool.ntp.org (http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/use.html) it is a great service they have around l 'Robing' between the time sources. For this he both ESX hosts should be able to make outbound connections to port 123 (NTP) UDP.

• Cluster with different host - resource pools hardware?

  Hello

  We have currently three generations of servers at base of AMD in our environment - with different CPU clock speeds.

  Guests are split into three groups and VMs are grouped based on clock speed.

  But frankly, it's a mess to administer.

  We envisage the creation of a single cluster and using pools of resources.

  But CPU resource pools take host speed of the CPU in return?

  - Or they just sure that VMs receive their share of CPU temps on loan-time partial?

  Best regards

  Martin

  Pools of resources sharing works only when there is some conflict of resources.

  -VMs in 'high' will appear on hosts with fast processors? - and get the most MHz?

  The actions are only priority... Then no.

  With a reservation... it depends on how much MHz offers...

  - Or they simply receive a high share of CPU time on a random host?

  By shars Yes...

  But remember the first sentence!

  If you have enough of free resources, all virtual machines are also (for actions).

• Problems of VMotion with different CPU´s

  Hello

  I have an ESX Cluster with 4 guests. These hosts have the following CPU´s:

  1 Intel Xeon 5160

  2 Intel Xeon 5160

  3 Intel Xeon L5320

  4 Intel Xeon L5335

  VMotion works fine without problems.

  Now, I've added a cluster host 5th with Intel Xeon L5420

  When I want to migrate a virtual computer, I get this message: ' cannot migrate from xxx to xxx: host CPU is not compatible with the requirements of virtual machine´s to CPUID level 0 x 1 'ecx' register. " Inconsistency detected for these features: SSE4.1

  Before I bought the new hosts, I checked the compatibility matrix and I m sure that this processor is working.

  How can I solve this problem? I read the KB1993 but I Don t get it :/

  Any Idea´s? I Don t want to change each VM (there are 29 vm´s of the cluster).

  Can I disable SSE4.1 for the new host?

  You are right. Even if you get it to work, it would not be a supported configuration. To test this, you must configure ideally just a virtual machine to test with the appropriate changes based on KB #1993. Specifically, you can follow the instructions in the "Change the default mask" section for SSE4.1:

  Change the default mask

  Hope that helps!

• How to migrate a virtual VC server to another host ESX with different CPU ID

  Hello

  by updating my equipment VI 3.5 of old AMD Single Core of AMD Quad-Core a problem has occurred: the new CPU´s of course have a different CPU - ID, so it is not possible to do a live migration of my virtual server VC from the old machine to the new one.

  A migration cold is of course not possible, because after the stop server vc I ve no connection via VC Management Console... of course

  How can I get my VC-virtual server running on new hardware, I guess that there must be a solution and I hope I m not the only one, who runs a virtual VC server and must change the material

  I look forward to any possible solution, thank you very much.

  Heinz Kabisch

  If the VCVM is on the only shared storage remove the virtual machine from the old host and enter it on the new host by connecting the VI client to each host. TO register to browse the store of data and right click the .vmx file and click Save

  If not on the shared storage (but I hope it is) you can copy the files from the virtual machine (*.vmdk and.) VMX file) from one host to another using the SCP. Then connect to the new host using the VI client and enter the VM VC

• SRM with different CPU clusters?

  Hey guys,.

  I can't find info on it so I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

  In SRM, geographically dispersed clusters can have different CPU providers? A group would be entirely AMD and the other an Intel.

  I have no experience with MRS whatsoever, and since the VM will be restarted remoetely I think that it would work. If it was me, I would

  remain consistent even if

  Please consider my response as 'useful' or 'proper' marking

  If I understand your question, you will not have a problem with different types of CPU in your clusters to protected site vs.recovery...  The only downside that I can think of is to old versions of Linux not having only not modules loaded into the kernel of the architecture of the chip.  I've personally done this and still have a single cluster of Intel that retrieves an AMD cluster, all virtual machines of RHEL 5.

• ESXi 5.5/Workstation 8, how to make my computer prompted with different CPU

  Hello gurus,

  Let's start which is my goal. I need to create a virtual machine with different hardware (I have no problems with the HARD drive and RAM options). I need the CPU on the system invited to be Intel or SMA.

  My host system is with Intel CPU and Intel part it I don't find any problem. But there the prompt with the SMA is the trickiest part. Does anyone know any thing or any software that can make this possible?

  I also tried to build ESXi 5.5 as a guest on my workstation, but here I can't find how to (if possible at all) the CPU ADM.

  PS Comments OS it is win2k3/8/12

  Thank you!

  Hello Asen,

  You can abstract only that physically you have, so you can't emulate AMD CPUS on Intel CPU hardware.

  For guest with AMD CPU instructions you must use physical server with the desired provider in your case with AMD processor installed server.

  Kind regards

• vSphere Cluster with different Versions of ESX

  We plan to upgrade our ESX ESX ESXi 5.1 4.1 host our preferred is method of upgrade via the Update Manager. In the 5.1 Update Manager documentation it provides the following:

  "ESXi 4.x to 5.x UPGRADE ESXi is supported and ESX 4.1 for ESXi 5 MIGRATION is supported. Anyone know what are the difference between an upgrade and a migration? Am I'm going to completely rebuild the host or will it keep its settings.

  Also run different versions of inside ESX (ESX 4.1 and 5.1 ESXi) the same cluster, supported? Any other consideration when running different versions of the same cluster. It will be a temporary problem while we work to get all hosts upgrade.

  Thank you.

  Migration - is where you perform the migration of ESXi 4.x for a new installation of ESXi 5 x

  Upgrade - is where you upgrade the existing ESXi 4.x host which will allow you to save the configuration of the host - things to keep in mind before you go is to ensure that existing equipment is supported by ESXi5 - you want to place the host to be upgraded in Maintenance mode - vCenter must be upgraded first

  As long as vCenter is upgraded to version 5.x versions of ESXi can coexist in a cluster

• Create cluster with different server

  Hi all, am new to this form and you need assistance in the creation of a new cluster of 2 servers who are of different brand and different configurations

• Cluster with different versions of ESXi - version vCenter

  I have a 2 cluster nodes ESXi 5.0.0.

  I intend to spend one of the 2 nodes to ESXi 5.5 U2 by inserting the CD of U2 ESXi 5.5 in the CD from the host and performing an upgrade: is there a question I should?

  Since a few days/weeks, I can't upgrade the second node.

  Is there any problem if one of the 2 i ESXi 5.0.0 and the other nodes is 5.5 U2?

  I plan to upgrade my vCenter as well after the upgrade to 2 knots. Where can I see the version of the vCenter (a virtual Windows VM)?

  Hi guy,

  Yes, connect your vSphere Client to your vCenter server.

  In the inventory on the left, click the server vCenter Server. The version number and compilation appeared in the main tab on the right.

• Issue of FT on different CPU speed

  Hello

  I'm about to set up a new ESX Cluster with differences only on processors below.

  Server-A has processor X 5550

  Server-b processors E5520

  See below for the exact details.  Processors are of the same family, the only differences are the GHz and QPI speeds.

  Number of processor	Intel® QPI speed	L3 Cache memory	Processor Base frequency	Max Turbo frequency	Power	Number of cores	Number of Threads
  X 5550	6.4 GT/s	8 MB	2.66 GHz	3.06 Ghz	95 W	4	8
  E5520	5.86 GT/s	8 MB	2.26 GHz	2.53 Ghz	80 W	4	8

  My question is if it is possible to configure FT on the virtual machines by using the differences above the CPU?

  If anyone knows, it is supported by VMware.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello.

  Will support you with this config, as two procs are in the Intel Xeon based on the category of micro-architecture Core i7.  See KB 1008027 for details.  There are also some very good information in the "[the design and evaluation of a practical system for VMS outages | ]. [http://www.VMware.com/resources/TechResources/10134] "technical document that explains how the differences in frequency of the processor are managed.

  Good luck!

• VM assigned different CPU

  We have 7 x servers in a cluster with different Intel XEON CPU and have used CVS to the Intel XEON Core 2 processor clock.

  I gave one of my virtual machines 4 x CPU, and it came with the processor in Device Manager-

  (1) Intel XEON E7330 @ 2.40 GHz

  (2) Intel XEON E7330 @ 2.40 GHz

  (3) Intel XEON X 5450 @ 3 .00GHz

  (4) Intel XEON X 5450 @ 3 .00GHz

  Is this a problem or is it planned? How will this affect the performance of the virtual machine?

  CPU so the other 2 CPU have been added later.

  Well, there is the answer, you have configured the virtual computer, during this time he has been migrated, then you added 2 CPU more.  Without doubt it is on, then you the set out to reconfigure the CPU when you the lit, he changed to the host 5450, is why the 2nd CPU shows also different materials.  It can show that, but performance will be a host is on, despite that show properties.

  Windows is not supposed to change the material, so it probably was not designed to "clear" the processor... once it configures the HAL, is that show properties.

• Penetrating VM from ESX Cluster stand-alone ESXi Server

  I get an error trying to move a virtual machine of cluster VI in a standalone ESXi Server, someone had a bit of luck this?  I tried the following: Get-VM-name "CO-WS-TEST1" - location (Get-VMHost "CO-WS-TEST1"). Move-VM - Destination (Get-VMHost "CO-VM-TEST2") where CO-VM-TEST2 is a stand-alone ESXi server and CO-WS-TEST1 is in an ESX Cluster with VI.

  I get the following error:

  Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

  What is ESXi system managed (for example with a non-free full license) by your vCenter?  If this isn't the case, then you can not make a gesture like this.  You can probably fake it with enough script and help of some external tools to make disk copy.

• Add Server ESXi in Vcenter 5.5 cluster with a different number of socket

  I have 5 nodes compute node IBM Flex System X 240 8737T7M with 2 CPU Socket in a VMS Cluster with identical hardware and now I need to add 1 more IBM System Flex X 240 node calculate 8737T7M with 1 CPU Socket in the same cluster.

  Here are other points: -.

  VCA Mode is disabled in this cluster.

  5 existing and new are the same model of CPU and memory is of the same capacity.

  Only the difference is 5 knots with 2 sockets and another node is 1. Please notice is recommended and he face any technical problem.

  VMware ESXi 5.0 and Vcenter is 5.5

  
  

  Hello

  VCA mode is not required when the generations of CPU on the server is the same.

  Adding your host in the cluster will work then.

  He advised not to add servers to a cluster with mixed material config. A possible problem might be the Admission HA control for example settings. If you configure a number of hosts reserved for failover, you may encounter problems with your hosts do not match each other. Here, you define the ability to failover in percentage.

• Power CLI script to add multiple VLANs with port group name in an ESX cluster

  Hi all

  Can someone help me get a script adds several VLANs with port group name in an ESX cluster?

  Kind regards

  OK, so you just need to do an Import-Csv inside the loop and change the variables accordingly.

  What is the provision of this CSV file?
