Adding a CPU of ESX server

• Adding 2nd NIC killed ESX Server

  All,

  Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Here are the environment and then my question.

  3 - DELL R510 - Dual Core Quad - Intel systems

  The area has "2" Integrated NIC

  as well as "2" QUAD Port - PCI Intel network interface cards

  NIC 0 - integrated NETWORK card is a system where installed- and it is plugged into a standard Switch CISCO GIG, the tag VLAN 108

  NIC 1 - integrated is configured for iSCSI connectivity

  LOCATION 0 - Port Quad PCI NIC

  Port # 3 is connected to a GROUP of CIRCUITS on a CISCO SWITCH with VLAN 108, 104, 107 and 110 on it

  Port # 1 is used for the 2nd iSCSI connection

  LOCATION 1 - Port Quad PCI NIC

  # 7 port is connected to a different GROUP of CIRCUITS on a CISCO SWITCH with VLAN 108, 104, 107 and 110 on it

  All three servers are installed with ESX4 update 1

  When I go into vCenter to one of the three servers and go to the primary Switch virtual networking, if I add #3 NIC or Port #7 NIC to the virtual switch (it currently integrated NIC 0 in) the system disconnects the network and to connect to vCenter losses and the entire network. If physically I reboot the ESX Server, it is NOT on the network. I have the tag VLAN in NIC0 defined 4095 to accept all the VLANS as well. (I tried with and without the tag of VLAN 4095 - same result)

  Here are my questions:

  1 - Why is - what happens? How it should be configured?

  2. is there a way to get NIC0 to return to the network without having to re - install ESX?

  I reinstalled the boxes several times now and tried many variations of combinations of nic, and they all end up with the ESX Server disconnected from the network and does not.

  Really looking for some common sense here... Please and thank you.

  Hmmmm, shooting a little in the dark, but I think your next 2 steps are:

  (1) get the SC (vswif0) MAC and check your MAC address table switch to fly throughout of ports

  (2) on the console, use esxcfg-vswitch for uplink associated with the Group of port SC the first list, and then delete the 2nd network card.  This should get your SC direct return and leave the new map available NETWORK the vswitch, simply not group ports SC.  (And you don't have to reinstall :-).)

• VMware ESX server CPU use test alarm

  Hi all

  For a new client, I need to show the alarm and ticket slot functionlity vmware ESX server logging settings

  • Use of memory for the server ESX VMW

  While I reduced the threshold value of VMW ESX Server CPU use as beloow format

  I made this two days before configuration, but still no alarm generated for this rule.

  Help the creation of a test of the abveo metric ESX alarm

  Hi - I ended up having to do such things in the past as well. I just built a virtual machine added lots of processors and memory, then for the CPU, I used the script CPUBusy.vbs from VMware (Google search which) and down it load times so that he began to max real physical processors... For memory, I just opened a massive text file in Wordpad and scroll up and down it. This gave me the circumstances to test the alarms, just don't do as a busy time or use some dev ESX servers...

• Added Distributed Switch, now can not access any ESX Server

  Hi guys,.

  I just completed the implementation of our first 2 ESX servers, a server vCentre added in as a virtual machine to a trial and the addition of a distributed switch to separate our traffic. During this process, I somehow picked the wrong interconnect to cross and moved VMNIC0 that running the SC and all virtual machines after the original installation.

  Now, I can't access the ESX server or server vCentre to revert back the changes I made. However, I have physical access to the servers via command line.

  Is there a relatively simple way, I can move the SC and VM' on the default vswitch? This happens when the server vCentre has been disconnected for a period of time?  I don't mind having to add the virtual machine to a vCentre at all, so remove the ESX on it will return to the way 1 vswitch and give me access again.

  I'm kinda stuck at the moment as I have ready 8 VM to start a project on but cannot access any of them!

  Thanks in advance

  Simon,

  You must set up a group of ports "Service Console" and assign a vswif. If you follow the steps in KB http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1000266 it will show you how to do this. The service console port group is necessary for the host be observable at the customer virtual Center/vi. I have attached 2 screenshots of what esxcfg-vswitch - l and esxcfg-vswif - l should look like. The Group of ports VMotion is not necessary, just the service console.

• Adding a new NETWORK adapter to the ESX Server

  I have an ESX 3.5 server that has two NIC onboard.  I decided that I will join the ESX Server to the SAN, so I need these two NICS for iSCSI.  I'm going to install a NETWORK card in the PCI - X slot.  Unfortunately, without GUI, I'm confused as to how it will work.  Can someone give me some advice on how to add a new NETWORK card?  I checked esxcfg and I don't know if that's what I'm trying to use.  Any help would greatly be appreciated.

  In the VI client, you should be able to go on the tab network management under configuration see the NIC it to add them to the correct vSwitch.

• installation of the agent on the vmware ESX Server

  Hi, im trying to install the agent 2.7.6 on an esx server of vmware 3.01, somehow, the agent does not connect to the administration server, I opened the ports on the firewall of esx with esxcfg-firewall - openport port 7443 and 2144 but I still can not the agent to connect to the management server... everything I forget?

  Hi Nicky,

  We will clear up the confusion of port for the next version.  Regarding
  availability be yellow, I believe that it is through the combination
  the VMware API in 3.0 is much slower than ESX 2 times 20
  VMS exposes this recently fixed issue: http://jira.hyperic.com/browse/
  HHQ-437

  You can find a patch fixed the issue that should solve your
  lights of availability.  Let us know if that helps.  It is also possible
  to reduce the memory usage by disabling the plugins that vmware
  Buy adding to agent.properties:

  plugins.include = VMware

  You can also change the max heap size in agent.properties:
  agent.javaOpts =-Xmx128m

• Unable to virtualize the host esx Server quadcore AMD Barcelona B3

  I have a server with AMD Quad Core CPU Barcelona B3 32 GB of RAM. I installed ESX 4.0 update1 on it successfully. After that, I try to virtualize esx server on this server. I added the new virtual machine with a standard configuration. When I try to boot the cdrom ESX4.0 I get the error message shown in the attachment.

  I tried with esx 3.5 and 4. Same mistake.

  cpuinfo on the esx host recognizes that UC is B3.

  I would be grateful no work around for this work.

  Thanks in advance

  It seems that your host is in an EVC cluster configured for Opterons third generation.  VCA usurps the guest not to not CPUID settings for a 'lowest common denominator' CPU, which is, unfortunately, a B2.  Try to remove the EVC cluster host.

• The "Console" tab fails on servers on a host ESX Server 3.5.0

  Hello

  On one of our server VMware ESX 3.5.0 123630 hosts, I get an error message when I try to use the "Console" tab on the servers located on the ESX Server.

  The error message "unable to connect to the host esx006.sb.local: a connection attempt fails, because the connected party did not properly after a period or the connection failed because the connected host has failed."

  This ESX Server is configured as all the other ESX servers in our environment, so I don't understand why it does not work on the ESX Server.

  I have no problems connecting to the ESX Server and I have no problems connecting to servers through the mstsc.

  I have the following VMware Infrastructure customers installed on my computer:

  -VMware Infrastructure Client 2.5

  -VMware Virtual Infrastructure Client 2.0

  -VMware vSphere Client 4.1

  To connect to the above mensioned ESX Server, I use the client "VMware Infrastructure Client, Version 2.5.0 Build 147704".

  Can you help me solve this mystery?

  Kind regards

  Carl-Marius

• Why can't I view all of the processor AMD under ESX Server 4.1 information?

  Dear Sir.

  Our server ESX 4.1 uses the AMD CPU as below.

  Processor AMD MAGNY-COURS, 8 cores, 1.86 GHz, D1, G34r1, 512 KB, 85W, 12 MB,

  Why we cannot see the complete information of the processor AMD under ESX Server 4.1?

  Some of the items would be "unknown". Please refer to the attachment "cpu.jpg" and "F01.jpg".

  In addition, hyperthreading is always displayed "inactive". Is this correct?

  Please refer to the attachment "hyperthreading.jpg" and "report.jpg.

  Thank you!

  Interesting...  Even if our AMD procs say normal, when you click on the plus sign indicates CPU status: unknown

• Legend on the screen of the ESX Server

  Hello

  I have two x 3550 of IBM servers.

  I have install ESX on my first server.

  Because of the problem on the motherboard, I put hard disks that stood on the raid1 in to another server in x 3550 IBM.

  After the reconstruction of hard drive (raid 1) and when ESX started, I saw a strange legend.

  In my ESX server appeared with a caption in red letters:

  "(TSC: cpu0 1918613 ) Init: 461: The Disable/No run run CPU is enabled for this machine.

  What is average?

  Try to activate the parameters of memory Protection No.-Execute under processor (under Advanced Options) Options in the BIOS

• Withdrawal of an ESX Server processor

  We have an idea in our Department to remove a few processors of our ESX servers (they are just sitting around 8% use with 7-10 VMS on each one).

  I was wondering if someone has a licensed power off ESX Server and done this before. The pointers, advice?

  I see it like this big, they are licensed per processor , so if we take away a single processor and boot it upward it will see has 1 processor and then we can use the license to bring up another 1 CPU ESX host. Processors are 3.33 MHz quad cores so I think it can handle pretty much anything we through him (keeping exchange and sql machines on proc dual ESX host with a lot of RAM however).

  So there you have it, someone at - it ideas? I wanted to just post there and see what the consensus was in the community. Thank you!

  Your problem around removing a processor might be the memory.

  New multi core processors must sit with cards memory who speaks directly with the cpu because of the multiplicity of carrots and speeds.

  Remove so a processor could cause your boot box without removing the memory associated with the cpu.

  But registration and esx, point of view, if the box of boots it should work. Definitely something I've never done.

• License available when one of the ESX Server is in maintenance mode

  The available license count changes if ESX Server is added in maintenance mode? I think that the answer is Yes, but I want to be sure of it. Unfortunately I can't test this in my environment.

  I have ESX 3.5 update 5 and VC upadate 6

  Thank you

  I just tested it, and the number of licenses available for my 3.5 servers has not changed after that one has been placed in maintenance mode.  I wouldn't really expect him if she is always powered, but unfortunately I can't supply a stop for the moment.
