Add new host esxi 5.1 for the existing cluster of vcenter

Hello

I would like to add a new host Virgin esxi 5.1 to an existing cluster from the vcenter. What are the things that I have to preconfigure on the host before add you it? I configured the network already, storage will be implemented when I add it to the cluster, right?

So, what I ended up doing was just set up time, networking and dns. I then added the host while he was in maintenance mode. I have a Compellent SAN storage and im using a folder in compellent to map all my Lun, then I can just add a new host in this folder, and it will automatically map all volumes to the newly added host once I go into vmware and make a new analysis on the FC HBA host (do FC fabric SW zoning first of course). I then added a file .locker on one of my SAN LUNS scrach location/newspapers. She's.

  • New host ESXi 5.1 in DMZ - cannot connect through vCenter Client or web, but can via SSH, if I have activated

    We have a simple DMZ where I set up a host running ESXi 5.1. I have another windows server in the DMZ subnet and I can load the new ESXi her host's web site. From my PC in our LAN I can not pull the top web interface 5.1 ESXi or connect via vSphere Client. If I enable SSH on the new host, can I use Putty to connect to the new host ESXi from my PC in LAN. I watched the event logs in our firewall and nothing seems to be blocked. I guess that the problem is related to a value or a firewall setting in ESXi 5.1 but I don't know. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    -Kevin

    Just a thought. Why don't run you the ESXi host in your internal network management and only virtual machines in the DMZ? Would make the ESXi host management even more secure, and you wouldn't have to open Firewall ports.

  • License of new hosts ESXi 3.5 in the new facility in vCenter 4?

    We are looking to possibly buy an IBM Blade Center solution with vSphere.  What we seek is using USB hypervisor (ESXi 3.5) embedded keys available for the blades (HS21XM / HS22) and the use of these rather than installing ESX / i on local storage.  What I want to know is, is it possible?  I think that we will need to install the VCenter 2.5 license server in order to manage 3.5 computers hosts and can then install VCenter 4.0 on top of this same server to use the new feature of vSphere, but can I still get a license these old hosts (like new)? Allow the VMWare you (as a new purchases) use vSpehere Standard licenses (which we will go to) "extension" of the functioning of the ESXi 3.5 integrated to include the features included in the Standard version of vSphere, or its equivalent has 3.5.  Not 100% sure about the licenses and have verified what I can on the forums and can't seem to find anything so your advice would be very grateful

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Welcome to Carl,

    1. Yes, you can use the ESXi which will be integrated to the server during the expedition.

    2. his

    no mandatory guest licese ESXi 3.5 with the 2.5 license server,

    We have other 2 options to the license of the host - with host-based license

    file and serial key. These two approaches are autonomous, no options

    need server licenses or VC.

    3. you can configure VC 4.0 guests to license the 3.5i with the 2.5 license server. This option is available inVC - Administration-> vCenter Server Settings-> licenses.

    Hope that this guide will help you

  • New host ESXi licensing

    Hi guys,.

    I am currently working on a workflow for the provision of new hosts ESXi from scratch. Unfortunately, I glued on the new VMWare licensing to a host. I wanted to do this with a script element:

    Entry:

    Host (VC: HostSystem)

    License (String)

    Code:

    Host.configManager. licenseManager. licenseAssignmentManager.updateAssignedLicense (Host.id, license, null);

    Unfortunately, this returns an error indicating licenseManager is null.

    Anyone know how to set the new licenseManager on the host or license in another way?

    Thank you

    Kamil

    OK, I got it myself. Instead of approaching licenseManager thanks Host.configManager I used instead of the VC:SdkConnection variable.

    Entry:

    Host (VC:HostSystem)

    SDK (VC:SdkConnection)

    LicenseKey (String)

    Code:

    SDK.licenseManager.licenseAssignmentManager.updateAssignedLicense (Host.id, LicenseKey, null);

    This works perfectly!

  • Adding a new host to the existing cluster

    Hi all

    The existing cluster has a connected SAN. Should what precaution I look forward to add a new host to the existing cluster? I did research that we should physically disconnect the HBA before adding, I don't know what it is to be honest.

    Any help / idea would be highly appreciated.

    Please, how can one more thing I change the host name?

    Appreciated all your help

    Kind regards

    Hello

    Once the host is already in the vCenter inventory, you cannot change it, you must disconnect host to vCenter, delete the inventory and add it again using a different name,.

    for example, if you specify IP during the connection wizzard, it seems in vCenter inventory under an IP address, if you want it to be visible as a hostname or a domain FULL, during the wizard name you used its hostname or FULL domain name

  • The host cannot be admitted to the current cluster Enhanced vMotion compatibility mode.

    Hello everyone

    Here's the situation...

    I have:

    vSphere 5.1 Cluster with two 5.1 ESXi hosts and configuration VSA.

    vCenter Server running on a virtual Windows Server 2012 machine.

    Task: Transfer virtual vCenter to a physical machine.

    I have install the physical machine with Windows server 2012.

    Installed vCenter 5.5 (hosts Newer then the ESXi 5.1)

    VSA installed Manager (VSA Cluster 5.5)

    When go to VSA Manager I am introduced to the following screen...

    vsa_manager_24-10-2013 10-17-19.png

    Recover DOES NOT work!

    Full move operation DOES NOT work!

    It recognizes the Cluster AUV-> check availability (is online and OK)-> begins to create the Cluster VSA and it fails with the following error...

    Move the cluster host

    VSA HA Cluster

    The host cannot be admitted to the current cluster Enhanced vMotion compatibility mode. Under voltage or suspension of the virtual machines on the host can use the CPU features hidden by this mode.

    Could someone please help?

    Thanks to you all! This problem has been SOLVED as follows...

    • VCenter Server go to--> "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\tomcat\webapps\VSAManager\WEB-INF\classes".
    • Open the file "dev.properties" with Notepad
    • Change the line that says "evc.config.baseline = lowest" to 'highest = evc.config.baseline' and save the file.
    • Perform the SERVICES. MSC and reboot 'VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices'

    After that it of back in the VSA Manager and run it again 'Cluster of VSA recover'!

    Now, the wizard should be able to add hosts to the inventory, create the HA Cluster and add hosts to the HA cluster and configure Cluster HA.

    Done everything! :-)

  • Add new portgroup for the entire Cluster

    Hello

    Currently I have the powercli script to add a new portgroup to switch existing on the same host.  I'm looking to see how to do this on a whole cluster since the vSwitch I want to add that it is the same vSwitch on all hosts.

    Get-VMHost-name ESXI01 | Get-VirtualSwitch-name vSwitch1 | New-VirtualPortGroup-name cpg400 - VLanId 697

    This command works, but rather to a host at the same time, what is the proper syntax to apply to the entire cluster?

    Have you ever tried something like this?

    Get-Cluster-name mycluster. Get-VMHost | Get-VirtualSwitch-name vSwitch1 | New-VirtualPortGroup-name cpg400 - VLanId 697

  • How to prevent the host ESXi 6 to use the graphics card?

    In my ESXi host computer, I have a NVIDIA Quadro 2000 graphics card. However, the host takes the graphics card to start stop passthrough to Virtual Machines (VM). Is there a way to prevent the ESXI host enter the graphics card primary?

    "< a href ="https://justus.berlin/2015/06/enable-passthrough-of-mainprimary-gpu-in-xenserver-6-5sp1/"> XenServer has the means to prevent the army to use the main graphics Cardinal < /a > if all goes well it a similar method for ESXi.

    This last post is an attempt to set the record straight about the ESXi host using the primary (or only) graphics card. In addition, more information will provide about success past by the graphics card to a virtual machine that is used with a monitor and peripherals as a workstation.

    Configuration

    ESXi 6.0.0 U2 (Build 3620759)

    Material

    Workstation HP Z620 (J61 BIOS v03.88)

    (1) Xeon E5-2670

    64 GB OF DDR3 MEMORY

    (1) NVIDIA Quadro 2000

    VM - Windows 7 Professional SP1

    #1

    There is no need to prevent the host from the use of the graphics card beyond to choose the graphics card to get through to a virtual machine. Do alerts if the host and the appropriate parameters are defined automatically. However, the Web Client vSphere does not reflect this behavior when running Firefox on Mac OSX 10.11.3 47.0.1. Recommend use if possible vSphere Client. It presents a panorama that is closer to the real situation within 6 ESXi. If the Web Client is not the height by the time vSphere client is relieved there will be real trouble.

    #2

    At this point, I think, the pilot VSGA vSphere installed as part of "vmware tools" on a virtual machine is required for the successful graphics card through to a monitor. The process of solving problems associated with a virtual machine to crash the host on VM shutdown or restart has led to the false impression that an uninstall of the VSGA vSphere pilot was necessary for the proper functioning of the virtual machine. Do not uninstall the driver VSGA vSphere.

    #3

    A virtual machine with passthrough crashing the ESXi host when to stop or restart a VM guest is not unusual. Click here to see an informative discussion about this and how to fix the problem. If the link does not head the Forum of the source, the House and perform a descriptive research. Essentially, the problem seems to be generated by the interaction of the VM with the PCIe bus on start/stop. In my case, after each accident, the ESXi host area before any PCIe 2 location where the graphic card is installed. See the transponder required for features in the BIOS of HP.

    ESXi through a GPU was a PITA. It is possible to give enough time and effort. VMware documentation is miserable, so dependent on human is a given. Be sure to leave breadcrumbs for others.
