After Update 2, Esxi 5.0 host cannot see storage

I have a HP DL380 g-8 server that was running ESXi 5.0. He had 6 virtual machines running on it for 8 months with no problems. Today I applied the update 2 for ESXi 5.0 and it says the update successfully applied. After the reboot, the server could not detect any storage. When connecting with VSphere client it says "the ESXi host has no persistent storage." Virtual machines are listed as "unknown, 1 unknown unknown 2," etc.

All storage is local. There are four disks are attached to a P420 controller card. When I click on "Storage adapters" in vsphere client, he mentions the card controller as "Patsburg 6 Port SATA AHCI Controller '. I tried a new analysis and it did not work.

I think here, but I have an out of date firmware. I just found this page HP for the P420 with a VIB released a few weeks ago update:

http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en & cc = us & prodTypeId = 18964 & prodSeriesId = 5193414 & swItem = MTX-96dc068234d34bceba2e2e1139 & prodNameId = 5193409 & swEnvOID = 4115 & swLang = 8 & taskId = 135 & mode = 4 & idx = 1

This link describes how to install the firmware, but this particular ESXi host is far away and I can't seem to him physically. I can connect using SSH. So my question is (having never used SCP or updated firmware on ESXi): is it possible to completely remotely via SSH, and if so, how?

If there are any other suggestions, I'm open to them. No matter what to get storage online.

Thank you!

You should be able to run this command in an SSH session.  As long as SSH is enabled, you should be able to SCP the file above.  WinSCP is a client of SCP Inuit free, for Windows, that should work just fine.

  • New ESX host cannot see SAN fiber - Clariion

    Hello

    I spent about two hours, passing through communities and have tried various things without success... basically, I have a new ESX host that I've built, configured, and networked, but I can't see our existing SAN.

    The SAN is a Clariion CX3 - 10 c and it hosts all of our existing VMs (we currently have two hosts attached to the SAN)

    I have installed the CLI and Navisphere agent on the new host

    I have started to host and that you have ENABLED the two adapters Emulex HBA (host contains two HBAs installed) because they showed as disabled by default BIOS

    I have one of the HBAs connected to the fibre switch

    On the fibre switch, I have a flickering green light where I plugged the fiber cable, which makes me think, it is connected OK

    On the HBA, I have a green light and an orange light blink, which still makes me think the wiring is correct

    BUT I do not see the front Navisphere host, and the host cannot see all storage even after re-reading.

    Any ideas what to try next? I suspect that it is perhaps something to do with zoning - I must say the Emulex HBA how to find storage processors? If so, how can I go about it? From the BIOS by restarting the host and pressing ALT - E?

    Any help or advice appreciated...

    Assuming that hard zoning this site should provide you with some

    Help

    Also once the switch is zoned if the host is not listed on

    the Clariion Navisphere agent system has a config file that needs to be updated

    with the IP addresses of the SPs.

    You can also manually enter the host if necessary, but your

  • Host cannot see Local disk for VSANs

    Hello

    We are building our first host VSANs and fell at the first hurdle. Our host config is:

    IBM x 3650 m4 7915
    ServerRaid M5110e
    1 x 200GB SSD SATA
    1 x 600 GB 10 k SAS SSD
    IBM Vmware Hypervisor USB with 5.5 u1 image installed.

    The problem is that the esx host cannot see the 2 disks that are mounted. Lists under storage controller MegaRAID SAS merger adapters (not sure where he gets the name of merger of). When I click on the controller for 2 drives do not appear under devices or paths. If I go in to the RAID controller to start upward and configure drives individually to be RAID 0 then ESX sees the two discs, but unconsciously, cannot identify the Type of the SSD drive. I think that there is a work around that, but I know that's not ideal, and according to the vSAN HCL of the Raid Controller above supports passthrough. Get the pull-out hold to work turns out to be difficult, but I hope that it is just something simple, I missed. Someone at - it an idea where I should start looking?

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the tip CHogan, it worked, but after reading the disadvantages of this method in your book "Essential Virtual SAN" I persisted for the pass-through to work on the raid controller.

    After some further research it turns out that I had to physically remove the RAID 1 GB Flash cache on the motherboard. In removing what it affects the RAID controller. He calls it. mode of TMI which allows for amp JBOD.

    Thanks to all for your responses.

  • ESXi 5 cannot see storage after installation

    I recently downloaded an eval of ESX, which included ESXi 5.0 60 days. I installed it on a test server, but there the LVM is not listed under data warehouses that shows only a data store that is the OS disk (LVM is on a separate RAID array).

    I tried SSHing on the server but not from the usual commands for example lvdisplay, pvdisplay, etc. works, I can't manage it with vCentre because when I try to register I get: "VMware ESX and VMware ESXi servers are not compatible with vSphere Client Web 5.0.0."

    How am I supposed to manage storage?

    Download and install the vSphere client. Access the host through it. You can download the form available in webaccess hyperlink vSphere client.

    https:// .

    Once connected to the host, select storage in the Configuration tab.

    Select Add storage.

  • ESXi 4 host cannot see IBM FC N3600 storage

    I configured the N3600 as described in the pdf of vmware SAN guide.

    The LUNS and initiator are implemented as VMware.

    I have a Dual Port 4Gbe Qlogic HBA on the HP DL380 server.

    ESXi has two vmhba.

    vmhba1: 50:01:43:80:04:c4:cc:25 50:01:43:80:04:c4:cc:24

    For some reason any when I rescan the vmhba1 and vmhba2 I get nothing. No devices no path

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    You say "no devices no path.

    To me that looks like a SAN issue. Please check on your FC switch zoning.

  • ESX host cannot see the data store

    Hello team, I have vcenter management 5 2 host esxi5. now added an esxi4 in the cluster and added iniitators for file systems. I can see the paths under this host of esx4 showing the LUN of the registrants. but I'm not able to see the data to store. When I tried to edit a newly created virtual machine to find the iso from the data store, it shows only the local hard disk of the host, which is a UCS blade. exsi5 hosts the two ok to see all data stores. can someone tell which part is wrong? Thank you!

    Looks like there is no problem with the presentation of the logic unit number since you can see the path to the LUN from the host.

    Is - these created data VMFS storages are 50 ESXi? If so, the VMFS version 5 (VMFS 5) which is not supported in ESXi 4.1.

    In this case, its expected that the host ESXi 4.1 will not show VMFS5 data warehouses.

  • PS CC 2014 appearing is not in the Mac Finder after update

    Just did the update/install the PS CC 2014, and while I can see the app in my applications folder if I do a spotlight search, it does not appear in the Mac Finder when I go into my applications folder. In fact, it is the case for several applications of CC 2014 after the update. For example, Muse CC 2014 and 2014 CC InDesign appear in my folder of applications, but not Illustrator CC 2014 or PS CC 2014. Someone else this experience and/or have a resolution? I did a reboot after update of the cc app 2014 to see if that will fix anything, but it does not.

    It's annoying to have to do a spotlight search to reinstall all my plug-ins just to launch the application.

    My experience has been that for some reason any eccentric, my installation location has been abandoned applications for my own Documents folder. I discovered that the installation path has been changed in the creative cloud desktop application under > preferences > Apps > installation location and I had to correct cela back to the HD/Applications.

    Regarding your plugins, CC 2014 structure is different and you have to wait your plugin maker updates. Simply dragging the plugins from the old installation CC could cause problems.

  • Update / fixes ESXi single host with VCSA running on it.

    We have just updated since the free version of ESXi 5 by ordering the Kit of Essentials. In the process, of course, we were able to deploy vCenter Update Manager (which has been the main motivation, like patching manually the free version seemed to be quite a pain). We have a Windows host that has installed the Update Manager, and we have a VCSA running on the single instance of ESXi, we deployed to date. We were able to install the plugin on the viClient and scan the ESXi host for patches with success (a need a good number). But, we're stuck trying to install the patches... us when trying to restore the host, we get: "the operation is not supported on the selected inventory items. Check events for the objects selected for the operation.

    The host says:

    The 10.0.1.80 host has a virtual VMware vCenter machine

    Device server with VMware vSphere update

    Manager or VMware vCenter Server installed. The

    Virtual MACHINE needs to be moved to another host for the

    consolidation to proceed.

    error

    28/08/2014-16:21:32

    Clean up the entity

    10.0.1.80

    root

    Looking at this logic, for the host switch to maintenance mode, the VCSA should have been suspended (apparently, actually moved), which would avoid in turn patches / updates to the deployment. Am I correct in thinking, that we have a second host and networked storage? Made a Kit Essentials / license provide for the possibility of vMotion from one host to another? It wasn't really clear... Yes, the web site says "vMotion" is included in most Essentials, but find it me hard to imagine any point to a facility in ESXi stream without the ability to vMotion between one system and another guest...

    Welcome to the community,

    And since you have only an ESXi host and your vCSA is running on this host, you cannot patch this host with Update Manager for reason that already know you: the host should be the maintenance mode.

    Add about another host, with Kit Essentials without vMotion functionality, you can try using a data store of shared storage between two hosts, stop the vCSA on first host and switch the vCSA on the second host... and finally the first host patch.

  • After the migration of ESXi 4.1 to 5.0 Update 1, ESXi containing the missing data store

    I intend to upgrade to an ESXi 4.1 production host, but I want to run through an upgrade of test on a separate machine. I created this using a virtual machine and the upgrade went well. However, now when I insert my vSphere client, I don't see the data store that contains data to my VM.

    Before migrating to 5, I had 2 drives, a disk of 4 GB for ESXi, and a 40 GB drive for the data of the VM installation. I could see and access times stores via the 4.1 vSphere client, but once the upgrade only the VM data store is available. Is there a reason that this is the case?

    I've updated but has not changed the partitions of data store. I have selected to migrate and keep the VMFS store, which was VMFS-3. I also tried to add the store drive 4 GB with the customer data, but an error message: "the selected disk already has a vmfs data store or the host cannot perform a conversion of partition table.
    Select another disk.

    I found this article on error message: http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2000454 , but I never actually removed from the data store. With the help of the 5.0 ESXi update I can see the VMFS store on 4 GB drive, which should have about 3.2 GB of available disk space (the rest being used by the hypervisor).

    Recommended someone else try esxconfig-volume - the list, and then use the output to a mount (http://communities.vmware.com/message/1666168#1666168), but the list command had no output at all.

    I searched through the forums and Google but you saw nothing.

    ESXi 5 has a different architecture, and I think that the problem is the size of the disk (too small) and the partition of scratch required.
