• Adding ESXi 4.1 in the field

  Hi guys,.

  I have my newly installed ESX... DNS servers are updated via the console and the domain specified so. But I can't ping the FQDN of the esx server...

  What can I do?

  You can test by vCenter to your ESXi host IP address?  Now that you have added to the DNS host record, you can test by FQDN?  What error do you get when you try to add to vCenter?  What version of vCenter are you running?

• Adding esxi host to vcenter

  Hello

  I can't add a 5.1 ESXi host to VCenter server (5.1). When I try to add the host to vcenter, I get an error message "a general system error occurred, VMODL incompatibility between VC and ESXi."

  Need help.

  Usually this error appears when the ESXi host, you're trying to add has a newer version than vCenter.  Depending on your case, both have same version. In fact, it should work fine without any problem.

  Can you please confirm the ESXi and vCenter versions? Also can you please post numbers comes together?

• Adding a host ESXi 4.0 to vCenter 5.1 supported?

  Hi all

  I intend to improve our environment to 5.1. I was going to go 5.0 but as 5.1 is available which is the point of law. While doing research on the upgrade to 5.0, I came across a few articles indicating that we can expect a purple screen when adding an ESXi 4.0 to vCenter 5.0 host if that host 4.0 is under patch level of 4.0 Update 2

  We still have some remote hosts with some sensitive servers and no disaster-recovery procedure or the ability in place for these sites. Therefore, we abstained to patch these boxes so far. (At least until we have backups and DR in place) If the connection or the upgrade goes wrong which refers to the site would be down without the possibility of recovering virtual machines. (Only the host by site with local storage btw. no quick vMotioning anything anywhere before the interview or the other.)

  We are happy to run until next year when the material is due to an environment joint replacement anyway. For these stand-alone hosts will worm 5 to 4 for now would not win us a lot. (taking into account resources are limited, it is autonomous and running a standard lic) My only concern is the issue of "Purple screen" which was mentioned can expect a vc5 instance when adding ESXi 4.0 U2 or below box. 0.

  Is this problem still the case when you add an ESXi 4.0 U2 or less than a 5.1 vCenter server or this problem has been fixed in 5.1?

  You are right, there is a problem with vCenter Server 5.0 (without Update 1) and ESX (i) 4.0 Update 2. However, with vCenter Server 5.0 Update 1 and/or vCenter Server 5.1 it is now supported. Please take a look at http://partnerweb.vmware.com/comp_guide2/sim/interop_matrix.php to see the supported configurations.

• How do I configure Openfiler for ESXi 5.0 (on which has been installed in the workstation).

  9.0 pre-installed VMware I installed in my laptop. I created a 5.0 as a VM ESXi in workstation. And I installed vSphere client 5.0 in my laptop. And I am able to access ESXi from my laptop through the vSphere client.

  Now, I created a VM with Windows 2008 R2 on top of ESXi. I installed vCenter 5.0 in Windows 2008 R2 Machine. I have just to connect to vCenter using vSphere client (which has been installed in my laptop) and added ESXi as host in the inventory.

  Now, I created a VM with Openfiler. Everything is fine. I want to use this Openfiler as a storage array, and I want the SAN with ESXi and Openfiler configuration.

  I think I need to create a VMkernel port group and attach that Openfiler VM who. And if I want to access the Openfiler web interface, do I need to have internet access? We can access the Openfiler Web interface without having access to the internet?

  Can someone let me know how to connect this Openfiler as a storage Bay for ESXi and configure a San.

  Openfiler does not need Internet access and you do not require an additional VMkernel port for access.  If it's production, you share the management and traffic on NIC iSCSI physical separate and thus vmkernel ports.  In this case, it is not necessary.  Did you do the initial installation of Openfiler to create a LUN for the ESXi host access?

  In what newspapers can I find something more?

  var/log/VMkernel.log on the host is not clear to me... but if someone asks I'll stick.

  What should I do more? I want only add 3 esxi servers at VMAs and the next time you connect to these esxi without putting password.

  Interesting, that's when I deployed the next vMA02 and VM03, I can only add an esxi to vMA. During the second and third esxi adding that generate the same mistakes... Now I have 1 vMA for each host ...

  Please on the suggestion and help... because my adventure with vMA is not good... the last time I was the problem with this vMA 5.5 the session is not authenticated after connect you to the target ESXi and not solved this in my second lab...

• Create the new host to the Cluster and Cluster

  Hi team,

  Have we not document or steps to create the new Cluster and add host to cluster?

  In addition, what are the post configuration that must be done on the ESX host? As switch, Nic, the data store Configuration?

  Should we add the storage front of cluster before adding the host?

  A process document or a step will be really useful.

  We plan to automate the process and any entry is really useful.

  Thanks and greetings

  For starters, it is User Guide PowerCLI, that comes with the installation of PowerCLI.

  And there are a lot of messages and blog discussions in this community that meet some or all of your questions.

  See for example establishment of data centres, Clusters and adding ESXi host VMware vCenter 5.x with PowerCLI

  Storage is assigned to ESXi hosts and for use in a clustered environment, you will probably want a shared storage.

  Maybe you need to split issues separate, more specific issues.

  This would make it easier to respond in this community.

• 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...

• VSpher client connection?

  Hello

  To make clear that I am a novice.

  I installed, ESX5.1 (bare metal), [VCenter Server, VSphere Client and client VSphere Web]-> Windows 2008R2.

  It is the second facility from scratch.

  In my first attempt, when all them above were installed, when I tried to log in using VSphere client, I could use the AD ID and I think what he connecterd me to ESXi through VCenter.

  In my second installation, I can connect via Vcenter using the Web client, using my username AD (ID of the administrator group). Everything works fine, I created data center and added ESXi.

  However when I click on VSphere Client, it does not accept my AD account and it only accepts the ID of the root for ESXi

  I don't know if this is what is supposed to happen?

  So the questions:

  1. in order to access ESXis using VSphere Client through VCentre, what should I do? I mentioned, that if I try to open a session using the client it does not accept AD ID

  2. How can I use webclient and no client (via VCenter)

  < added some information: I renamed localhost in ESX01 ESX and he joined the field in the context of troubleshooting and client NTP is configured on ESXi, not Windows 2008R2, but Jet lag is less than 30 seconds if not less >

  As I said I am new, however I am giving the foregoing experience of logical explanations.

  Thanks in advance.

  Welcome to the communities...

  I don't know if I understand your questions, I tried with my awakening in response to your questions

  1. in order to access ESXis using VSphere Client through VCentre, what should I do? I mentioned, that if I try to open a session using the client it does not accept AD ID

  You try to access your ESXi host or vCenter server by using AD ID?

  However when I click on VSphere Client, it does not accept my AD account and it only accepts the ID of the root for ESXi

  Have you checked that you access your vCenter and no ESXi host using vSphere Client?

  vCenter is a management software that allows to manage ESXi host. WebClient is only available to manage vCenter server and NO ESXi host

• need explanation of the Red Cross in networks (page provided)

  Hello

  1. network with several VLANs

  2 ESX 3.5 in place

  3. added ESXi 4 bte for laboratory (one net card - hp workstation).  Works very well.

  4. in vSphere client Configuration-setting in network of the ESXi4 two things I want to clarify:

  a. Red Cross on the only card that fine work (networking)

  b. spee column shows down

  The box and the virtual machines properly.

  In addition, I want to know on ESXi4 CDP. Should I turn it off? Maybe that Red Cross shows no connection on the discovered Cisco switch management address?

  What is the syntax to disable CDP on ESXi4?

  Thank you

  Michael.

  I see that you have hard-coded the network speed.  The set hard network switch also or it automatically detect?

  If the switch is not the same value as long as the NETWORK adapter, there could be some weird communication that happens and why he interprets the map NETWORK as low when it is not.

• 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 volumes Equilogic Vmware ESXi 4.1

  Hello...

  We have a dell Equilogic SAN PS4000e, with 2 Esxi hosts

  The installation program was performed by a consultant, 2 years ago...

  He made 5 volumes on the SAN...

  Now, I want to add more volumes (we 2.3 free to SAN)

  I read the documentation for the SAN on the addition of volumes but feel somewhat safe.

  This system works 24/7 and I don't how it works somehow...

  Is this something I should take up study about adding volumes to our vmware environment?

  Concerning

  Fix.  However, the upgrade must be a VERY high priority project.

• 6 ESXi hosts can't be added to Vcenter 5.5 App

  6 ESXi hosts can't be added to Vcenter 5.5 App

  When I add the hosts drop off after 5 min or more.

  When you install or upgrade to ESXi hosts to 6.0 you cannot add them to vCenter Server Windows or device.

  It's real reason in the upgrade path, you must first upgrade the vCenter before ESXi hosts. See the sequence below:

• ESXi 5.5U2 host disconnects a few seconds added to vCenter

  Hi all, as a subject, really. I have been troubleshooting a problem where, when adding a remote host to vCenter, who host their product to unplug a few seconds.

  At first I thought it was my firewall rules, but I've sorted which and I don't no ACL denies more on them.

  I can connect to the host very well using the vSphere Windows-based client, so I do not understand it.

  Should what kind of information I add to this post to help the guy to help me?

  P.S., relatively new to VMware.

  Thank you, Mark

  Thanks for the advice... He led me to the correction, which was that VMware KB: NAT between the vCenter Server system and ESXi/ESX host using

  My vCenter was behind a NAT firewall that was causing the problem.

  Hope this helps others.
