• Recently added that in environment VMware ESXi hosts do not appear

  I'm running worm vFoglight 6.7. recently, I added 2 new 5.1 ESXi host and 2 data stores into my vsphere cluster. These new fabrics do not appear in vfoglight under dash VMware environment. I tried to update the server vCenter added by re activating the latter. Without success. Could someone help me how to get it to update.

  Give a washer, they can probably find what is happening and turn it on.  It is very rare that I've ever seen an upgrade fails or not be able to recover the worst of him.

• Adding additional disk space to Perc 6 / i server R710

  I have currently 3 250 GB installation as a raid 5 (original configuration) disks on a server R710 with a Perc 6 / i controller.  I ordered 3 discs (same readers) that we are running out of disk space. There is a set up disk C: and D:.  Can someone point me to instructions for adding these additional disks for the raid existing (drive D) without having dataloss?

  Thank you

  Gary

  If you don't have that one 'disk' listed in disk management, then you have only a single VD configured, which is good.

  You must install OMSA to broaden your VD. You then insert your new drives, make sure that they show as ready under physical disks, then go to virtual disks and select Reconfigure to your RAID 5. Adding two drives in your RAID 5 will add about 500GB (bit math makes it a little less) to your current Windows 'disk '. After the reconfigure statement, you will have something similar to below. Then, assuming that you do not run 2003, you click on the D: drive and choose Extend to finish with the second photo:

  

• Adding groups of ads to 5 ESXi hosts?

  Hi all

  does anyone know how to add Active Directory groups to the ESXi 5 host? Or is it limited to the Admins ESX group as in ESXi 4.1?

  Can't find anything about this in the documentation, it ends with the addition of the ESXi host to Active Directory.

  Thank you

  Check the link for the ESXi step by step with AD below... the version show this is ESXi 4.1, but it even works in ESXI 5 too.

• VMware ESXI host Client is not compatible with the Ipad

  Hi all

  First of all I want to say that I am very happy with the introduction of the ESXI host Client, it's a very good start for not having a vSphere client to be installed.

  One thing I was hoping too is compatible with mobile devices, for example, an IPad. Unfortunately this isn't the case. Not for IOS 8 or 9

  I tried several browsers without a bit of luck.

  There are several problems;

  • The page is not scaling properly
  • The top bar is not visible, you can, for example, sign out
  • The Web page expands when you rotate the page on the iPad horizontally, not having not not able to see the Web page complete.

  I found these problems in Tech Preview, build 2015.08.25.3015331 combined with ESXI 6 with the latest patch

  Kind regards

  Marcel

  Hi Marcel,.

  Thanks for pointing out these problems. We have made a few improvements wrt. support iPad in the last version of the adventure. Could you update and let me know how it goes?

• Adding additional disk to ESXi 4.1 Datastore on Dell PowerEdge R710

  Greetings,

  We currently have a Dell PowerEdge R710 with 6 SAS das drives configured in a RAID-1/RAID-5 configuration. A drive is configured as a global hot spare. I would add this spare drive in the RAID-5 table, where some virtual machines live, to recover additional space. Has someone managed to do this? Is the only way via the PERC BIOS management utility?

  Thank you!

  I'm not part "raid-1/raid-5.  But assuming that the table is raid-5, then yes it is possible and yes the BIOS utility is necessary.  The hot spare is currently set should be removed from this role, then added to the existing Bay raid-5, but without the ability to select increase.  This will create free space on the raid-5 array on which then a new logical volume can be created, which will be then seen by ESX as a new drive and therefore another data store can be added to this (or it can be added to the first as a measure).  HTH

• VMWare ESXi host AutoDeploy profile questions 5.1

  All,

  Our Organization has just bought a UCS configuration, and we are working to build on the new system. I have scoured the internet looking for a potential solution, but have not found. We get the following operation:

  VM Auto deployment server

  ESXi PXE boot process

  Set of rules that applies the profile of home on the connection with the vCenter

  We are experiencing a problem where when a host is added to the vCenter, the location of the swap of our host profile file does not apply (the swap file is on a data store that is also configured in the profile of the host). In addition, the vNIC for our vSwitches configuration has two network adapters for standby on all 3 vSwitches. The configuration is the following: two vNIC by switch, the expected host profile configuration is set to active, active. Each vNIC for each vSwitch is on a separate side of the UCS fabric (a and b). Cards network to view DHCP addresses assigned in ranges appropriate for all configurations, but the vNIC is intelligence rather than active, active.

  If more information would help to understand this issue, I am happy to provide.

  Thanks in advance.

  Apparently, it's a known issue:

• Addition of storage internal to ESXi host

  Hi all

  I have a Dell server that accepts SATA drives (no RAID configuration).  Currently, I have a 1 TB in this drive and plan on adding a second 1.5 TB drive.  I've never added storage to ESXi and wonder if I should wait no problem.  It is fairly simple to get ESXi to see the new disk and use it as a supplementary data store?

  Thank you

  Additional storage should be detected. Use the vi client and go to the configuration tab select storage and analysis for new storage LUNS. Select the discovered storage. Once added, you should have a new data store.

• replaceable drives a VMware ESXi host running hot?

  In theory, it is completely safe delete a failing hard drive to a RAID 5 array that support the connection to hot. But is this supported in ESXi 4.1? Can I license the company to this supported?

  I just need the assurance that it's safe swap a failed drive in a RAID 5 array on a physical server supported hot when it runs always ESXi 4.1 without having to shut it down.

  Thank you!

  In theory, it is completely safe delete a failing hard drive to a RAID 5 array that support the connection to hot. But is this supported in ESXi 4.1? Can I license the company to this supported?

  Hello

  Yes, it is safe to remove if your controller supports hot, your ESXi has nothing to support because your RAID controller is responsible to rebuild your RAID disk faulty no ESXi.

  See you soon

• Question about adding additional disks with voting rights (AIX cluster)

  I maintain a database cluster Oracle 10 g RAC running on AIX servers and I would like to add another disk to vote. I intend to use the following, executed command as root: crsctl add css votedisk device_pathname.
  
  This command can be performed while the database and cluster services are active, or do I have to stop both before changing the configuration of the cluster?

  Currently I see many MAC beat in the log of the switch.  From my understanding, I expect the MAC address out all ports, because that's what'd ESXi when you use 'route based on the hash of the IP.  I'm worried about the impact this might have on the CPU / switch.

• How to span multiple LUNS on one (or less) data store (s) in Vmware ESXi 4.1 vSphere environment?

  Hey guys -.

  I currently have 2 hosts ESXi (version 4.1u3), 1 vCenter Server and 1 EMC VNXe3300 SAN (20 to via iSCSI) that make my virtual environment.

  On the EMC is, you create VMware Datastores (which have a limit of 2 TB) then connect these data storage to VMware ESXi hosts.  Once logged in, would continue it the process through the Add Storage Wizard via VMware to connect the disk/LUN storage via iSCSI.  Ultimately, the Lun (s) would then be accessed through the virtual environment (in the Configuration > storage > data warehouses) as generally expected.

  Due to the limit of 2 TB (both on the CEM, Version of VMware and VMFS3) on data warehouses, I find myself with having several data warehouses being created on the side of the EMC and VMware (see photo) appearance.  I know that's not rectifiable via CEM level, but I was wondering if there was any way for me to bring together all these data stores on the side of things VMware.  This way rather than navigate to Configuration > storage > data warehouses and separate iSCSI indicator 6 data warehouses, it would just be a (or more, but less than the existing) data store; It would then extend in all actual data stores that I would.

  I don't know what the appropriate terminology is used to describe it, but I hope someone can help me to what I want to achieve.  Or at the very least, can you please steer me in the right direction.  If this isn't something that can be achieved or it is discouraged, what are the other options which would be recommended?

  Thanks for the help.

• Mac OS x won't start on mac pro esxi host

  We have the latest mac pro machine functioning as a construction of host 5.5.0 esxi 2718055.  We have setup the virtual Mac machine of the as a waiter in a magic triangle to our Mac OSX windows domain configuration.  Everything was up and running for some time now not really used because we delayed the purchase of our projected deployment Mac until this year.  I logged on today, and he says he has several updates and necessary to restart, so we issued the command reboot. Now the machine won't start upward.  It starts the boot process you see the Apple logo and progress bar starts moving on a 1/4 of the way and then it just turned off. I tried several of the commands below in the link, but nothing works, it just turns off. I tried to use my mac with vm ware fusion and the connection to the host and always change. I have triple checked that I am in the comments window active when you press these commands, but the problem is it only stays on during approximately 5 seconds then stops. I have removed from the inventory of esxi and re added, as well as restarted the ESXi host as well.  The virtual machine is sitting on the local storage of the esxi server.

  Has anyone else had a problem similar to this?  I'm getting to this section and the progress bar starts to go, but then stops and turns off virtual machine.  How can I enter in address this further.

  

  Okay, so I went through the list and now I got using the command option r. tried before but maybe I press the keys long enough.  I was using my mac book pro and pro fusion to do all this. Couldn't make it work when you use the client heavy vsphere on my windows machine. Repair disk permissions is grayed out. I ran check disk permissions and got a ton of errors, ran check disk and he stopped saying repair the disk. Ran repair disk and he stopped to say that he cannot repair the disk, backup as many files as possible, reformat the drive and restore your backup files.

  Is there another way to try to fix this sucker, or is he at this point a POS and build a new one?
