• Problems when adding static routes to esxi 5.5 c

  Hello

  I read this KB on adding static routes:http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2001426

  But I'm unable to add static routes to my esxi 5.5. host. am I missing something here?

  ~ # esxcfg - road - l

  VMkernel itineraries:

  Interface of network gateway subnet mask

  10.238.187.0 255.255.255.0 subnet local vmk0

  10.238.188.0 255.255.255.0 subnet local vmk1

  by default 0.0.0.0 10.238.187.1 vmk0

  ~ # esxcli network ip route add - 10.238.188.1 - network 10.238.188.0/24 gateway ipv4

  In double track 10.238.188.0/24 found in the network.  Please remove first the old road.

  Kindly help.

  You cannot add a new gateway for a subnet exists in the vmkernel as you can't have two default gateway.

• Add Static route on ESXi 5.5!

  Hello

  I am trying to add a static route in the esxi using the command 'esxcli ip route ipv4 network add x.x.x.x - n x.x.x.x/xx g '. When I run this command a static route is created and applied to vmkernel port group by default vmk0. I want the static route applied to vmk3 instead of vmk0. Please me tips on how to do it.

  Thank you

  TA.

  Hi Sai,

  It's easy :-)

  vmk3: 10.28.184.8

  iSCSI target: 10.28.184.10

  vmk3 and your iSCSI target IP address are in the same subnet, so there is no need for any gateway, by default or not, or for routing.  The IP addresses in the same subnet can speak throughout the day without leaving the subnet or involving communication via a gateway.

  Yes, all vmkernel ports assumes that the default gateway of the vmkernel, but vmkernel ports other management port management is generally useless to speak in the first place outside their own subnet.

  Some examples of use of vmkernel ports case how they communicate generally:

  NFS - should speak only within its own subnet

  iSCSI - should speak only within its own subnet

  vMotion - should speak only within its own subnet

  Fault tolerance - should speak only within its own subnet

  vSphere replication - can talk within its own subnet, perhaps one VLAN stretched if in different sites, otherwise a static route can be configured

  I missed everything vmkernel port types?  I think that all down for the most part.

• Adding static route to the ACS

  How can I add a static route to my device SE ACS?

  I try to get AAA works on a Cisco 871 is an end of distance of a vpn s2s ASA to 871. On the router, I use as the source for Ganymede interface vlan1.

  My ACS server is on the subnet for my ASA management, but the GBA to the Remote LAN road is via its default gateway and interface from the INSIDE of the SAA. I need to get the traffic of Ganymede ACS to return through the management interface of ASA.

  Thanks in advance.

  John

  John,

  There is no way to set a static route in the GBA unit. The only network settings, you can set are the ip address/subnet, default gateway and dns servers.

  Kind regards

• What is checked first, GLBP or static route?

  I have 2 routers doing GLBP. The virtual IP address is given to jobs as a default gateway.

  When a packet hits the default gateway, it will go to RTR - A. Then the second package request will go to RTR - B. It's all good via GLBP.

  The question is, if RTR - A is a static route to 66.66.66.66 and the next hop for this destination is via RTR - B, how will RTR - A treat this package when RTR - is the router that needs to deliver the package to the internet? I mean, how is this Treaty?

  GLBP will review the package and then determine what it is RTR - A tour to take it, then it give RTR - A, and then this router will focus on its local routing table and then it give RTR - B because the destination is 66.66.66.66?

  Or the static route will take precedence GLBP? but again, only RTR - A will have this static route entry as the network admin pushes everyting for 66.66.66.66 out of the RTR - B. Confusion is the GLBP thing.

  Thank you for the help

  Hello

  GLBP works on a per-host basis and not per package. I mean, when the host is the gateway for the first time, this is the moment where we decide which router is actually going to be pass packets to the host.

  Consider this example

  Three host X, Y, Z

  Two routers with GLBP RTR A and B RTR operating in the Round Robin database

  1. Boots X host receives the IP via DHCP or configured statically, it will send the ARP request to the gateway. ARP request is served by RTR and he sends MAC address. Host X now use RTR A gateway
  2. Boots of host obtains the IP via DHCP or configured statically, it will send the ARP request to the gateway. ARP request this time is served by RTR B because GLBP is set to be in round robin mode. RTR B sends address MAC to host b. host Y will now use RTR B gateway
  3. Boots of the host Z Gets the IP via DHCP or configured statically, it will send the ARP request to the gateway. ARP request is served by RTR has time and he sends MAC address. Host X now use RTR A gateway

  RTR has accessibility to 66.66.66.66 network RTR B also accessibility features. This package can be transferred.

  X(a) RTR as gateway host sends the packet to 66.66.66.66 going A RTR, which will send to RTR B because of the static route.

  Host Y (RTR B as gateway) sends out packets to 66.66.66.66 going to RTR B, which it will process in accordance with its routing table

  I hope this helps.

• Adding secondary management NIC to ESXi host

  Hello

  We currently have a customer demand to add secondary management NIC to the ESXi servers ourselves and the client can connect to hosts if vCenter becomes unavailable.

  Is someone can confirm if it is feasible or will host blend and become inaccessible? Sorry if this is an obvious answer, it's just that I have never seen configuration with management NIC

  Thanks in advance.

  We currently have a customer demand to add secondary management NIC to the ESXi servers ourselves and the client can connect to hosts if vCenter becomes unavailable.

  Can clarify you what exactly you mean by that? A single management interface are accessible by some many different clients, as long as it is accessible. Are there limits where the client manages the ESXi host from an internal network and you need to access externally via public IP, another for networking?

  In this case your would create a management interface 2nd vmkernel on the external network and to face together the default route of the external gateway routing and insert static routes for the internal network using the internal network gateway. So basically the same thing you would do to any IP multi-hosted system.

• 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.

• 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:

• 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?

• Problem adding free ESXi host of AD domain

  I have previously create the computer object in active directory. I then connect 5.5 ESXi free edition host by using the .net client, from there I can join my domain host name successfully.

  

  But try to do the same to PowerCLI when you are connected to the host as root, you receive an error

  I see the error indicates "current license or ESXi version prohibited the execution of the operation requested." but it works since the .net client and I have not read anything indicating that you cannot add to esxi hosts free domain. I also used JoinDomain_task method and you still receive the same error

  $ADCreds = Get-Credential
  $Domain = "Domain.com"
  $AuthObj = Get-View -Id 'HostActiveDirectoryAuthentication-ha-ad-auth'
  $AuthObj.JoinDomain_Task($Domain, $ADCreds.GetNetworkCredential().username, $ADCreds.GetNetworkCredential().password)
  

  We the ESXi free license limits is the fact that there not a 'API write. "

  This means no changes through CLI, PowerCLI and other tools that use the API.

• 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.

• adding additional disks to existing VMWare ESXi host

  If I have a VMWare ESXi host that has 2 disks configured in Raid 1 and later add more than 3 drives and configure these 3 drives in Raid 5, will host VMWare ESXi what to see and be able to use it without any settings?

  You may need to perform a new crawl, but there should be no problem. Make sure that your RAID 5 array is broken into less than 2 TB LUN. (2 TB less 512Bytes)

• How to change the sha - 1 certificate in my new esxi host

  Hi guys...

  as my lab crashed this morning (my computer has a blue screen) and of all the vm in my workstation crashed.

  When I'm the my computer upward run again and pressed 'play' to start the esxi host, I received some strange error messages.

  I decided to install a new host esxi5.1, and when I have finished configuring the esxi host, I noticed that the SHA - 1 certificate is not the same as the one I have (I have the new esxi I installed, and the older and sha-1 are different between the two hosts).

  I added the vCENTER esxi host, and now I have 2 hosts esxi 5.1 with different certificates of sha - 1?

  I can continue to work in this situation?

  I built this laboratory to study the vcp 5.0 certification. (I also installed the 5.1 vsphere to manage guests)

  It's a way to modify the certificate to the other esxi I have?

  Hope to hear from you soon,

  Best regards

  Hi Nahum,

  Each host is supposed to have a different SSL certificate

  If you are looking to implement of the CA signed CERT for only ESXi hosts, this should help

• static routing in SMV problem

  This problem may seem out of place in this forum, but I think that the problem is specific to XP virtual machines in ESX. The same issue has not been seen in a similar setup running under XP hosted in ESXi.

  I invited XP with multiple network cards configured. A NETWORK adapter is connected to a 10.4.0.0 network with a 255.254.0.0 mask, which means it's supposed to handle all the traffic 10.4.X.X and 10.5.X.X. However, I have another NIC that is connected to 10.5.217.0 with a 255.255.255.0 network mask. XP runs without problem. I can access 10.5.217.X traffic to the correct interface and all traffic on the 10.4.X.X traffic and 10.5.X.X on the appropriate interface.

  The problem appears when I try to access another network on the 10.5.217.X interface. The other network is 10.5.195.0. I add a static route to 10.5.195.0 to use the address of a default gateway of 10.5.217.1. This does not work because XP has chosen to use the 10.4.0.0 interface, even if I ping the 10.5.217.1 router directly. I try again and this time I specify the interface 10.5.217.X and now I can access the 10.5.195.0 network through the appropriate interface. This will work until the XP guest is restarted. After that, the XP customer returns to use interface 10.4.X.X for the 10.5.195.0 network and who doesn't.

  In ESXi, a reboot of the XP client did not cause the routing back to another interface, while I see this behavior in ESX.

  First of all, it's a bad network with overlap configuration.

  Put good metric for this route, so it would come first in the routing table.

• 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.

  https://support.Apple.com/en-AU/HT201255

  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?
