• Virtual machines are not able to access the network after you have moved the host

  We moved our 4 ESX host to a different physical switch and now our VMs cannot access the network.

  I can access the host via client vsphere.  Our host has 2 network cards.  They are both members of the vSwitch0.  I have 1 VM network defined, and they are both members of it.  The network adapters, vmnic0 and vmnic1 are also part of my VMkernel which I do not know that I need because I have 1 ESX Server and do not use iscsi or NFS.

  the two cards are also part of my service console.

  According to my host "configuration / display: vitual switch, it looks like all my virtual machines are defined to use the vswitch."

  the two physical network adapters is connected to the same switch.  I did not go to any configuration on the switch.

  

  The steers would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Paul

  

  Welcome to the community,

  It sounds as if the physical switch ports are not configured correctly. Please check that port security is disabled on the switch (switchport mode access) ports and spanning tree portfast is (if any).

• All virtual machines are dead

  Hi, I discovered today that all virtual machines on my ESXi 4 has been arrested.  There are balls I can check what happened?  4 virtual machines are all CentOS 5.5 64-bit and very lightly loaded (IE TOP shows 0.1 for loading).  There is no more validation of CPU or memory.

  You can... How to do this depends on your configuration... For example, if you use vCenter or not. If this isn't the case, then connect to the host, go to the tab "Configuration", under the heading 'Software', ' Virtual Machine Startup/Shutdown ' select and then click on the 'Properties' link (top right of this window)... This is where you can select the VM power on with the host country, what order they put under tension, or if they "Manual start" value when the host starts.

  If you do the settings on the host computer, vCenter will extract these settings in the configuration... I would suggest testing to confirm that the auto-start settings stick when you vMotion a computer virtual to another host (if you have more than one host) or not.

• CentOS 5.4 + vmware server 2.0.2 - virtual machines are switched off automatically

  Hello

  I have a centos 5.4 with server 2.0.2 vmware server installed on it. I am running two virtual machines on it: Microsoft windows xp pro sp3 and Centos 5.4 (the two 32-bit).

  I have the last time, my virtual machines are automatically shut down, for example: I start the two vm at night and in the morning they are turned off.

  Often happens that vmware-mngm service is not accessible, I'm trying to access on browser, but is not accessible. After I restarted the service vmware-mngm, it works, but aflte some operations with virtual machines, it gives me an error and stop responding again.

  SELinux is disabled

  After I log in Panel of vmware server I get this error:

  The server cannot complete a request (HTTP 0).

  Ok

  The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented him from meeting the demand. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator.

  After the mgmt-vmware restart I can connect. I have attached the log files in a zip archive.

  Help, please!

  Thank you

  Hello

  first of all, check the host with a tool like memtest memory. Maybe the RAM is not ok.

  After that, perhaps your problem is this one: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1326842#1326842

  In above discussion, the solution is the following: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1431577#1431577

• Several virtual machines are running, but are not in stock

  Hi all

  I hope that someone has experienced this condition and can help.

  Here's what I have.

  I have 13 VMs (Windows-based) I did some tests with the help of EMC RP DR. All servers in a group to ensure consistency with the two LUNs. I was able to failover of the environment on the site of copy and then restore to the original location.

  However, today when I didn't return the case I lost 4 virtual machines.

  -J' have 9 virtual machines I see in vCenter Server

  -The virtual machines that I've "lost" are running, and I can connect using RDP, but they do not appear in vCenter Server

  -Virtual machines are in their records in their data warehouses. When I find the appropriate folder and try to add to the inventory, the option is grayed out. Which suggests that the VM is saved, but when I search I do not see the instance.

  PowerCLI command revealed that the two Mas I have 9 powered on virtual machines. Like I said all 13 virtual machines are running.

  I asked each his vmInventory.xml of the host in the cluster file servers registered on all hosts are 9 instead of 13.

  I have not disassembled the DS during operations of RecoverPoint failover, power off just the virtual machines.

  Fortunately, this environment is not in full production, but which is the right thing.

  Someone at - he encountered this rather odd situation.

  If relevant, Bay storage is EMC VNX and access is any block.

  Kind regards

• Virtual MACHINE starts automatically after a power outage of the entire site?

  Hello

  We use ESXi 5.5.

  If there is a power for the datacenter failure, ESXi hosts must be restarted when power is resumed.

  We wonder if VMs will be launched automatically to the top?   If not, this means that we must allow the "starting the Virtual Machine / stop option.

  If we put a number of virtual machines in "automatically start", such as VM1, VM2, VM3 on ESXi Server one, VM4 VM5 ESXi Server b.   Virtual machines are migrated between ESXi servers and how they can keep the boot sequence?

  Your opinion is requested.

  Dear Tony,

  I ask you to create a vApp and configure accordingly on your vCenter boot order.

  6 virtual machines are cocurrently recovered or the number can be configured?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  The number of virtual machines simultaneously recovered was 2 virtual machines per host up to a maximum of 20 virtual machines with MRS. 4.x ( http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/VMware-vCenter-SRM-WP-EN.pdf document "Best Practices" 18 States, but I have seen 20 myself several times).

• After an upgrade to ESXi 5.0, 5.1, my virtual machines are not listed in vSphere.

  The directory structure still seems to be on the disk.  Is there an easy way to get vSphere to recognize?

  Welcome to the community,

  I guess you Install accidentally selected rather than upgrade! Anyway, you can just browse the data store and do a right-click on the .vmx file each VM to add the virtual machine to inventory.

• How to make the virtual machine starts automatically after power is declining for all ESX host?

  We meet just power down and lost electricity ESX host.

  When we start the ESX host, we can on each individual virtual machine.

  Y at - it a setting that we can put in place for these VMs critics may start se?

  Your opinion is requested.

  Thanks for your advice. He agrees with your saying that the start / stop sems to be buggy.

  It's only disable it every time that you enable VMware HA.

  But it works (if enabled) and may be useful to define how the system starts up.

• virtual machines are named as unknown (not valid)

  Hallo,

  I run ESX 4.1 and vCenter 4.1 on Win2003.

  I need help after that I run a security script on my esx servers, after you restart the ESX ESX Server does not detect all the VMS correctly.

  Some not detected machines and this is bad it detects the vcenter4.1 and its only sql server as unknown (not valid), so for the moment I can only connect each ESX Server it self but not for the vCenter :-(.

  See the screenshots.

  Some of the virtual machines on storage are very good and I could 'add to the inventory', but this damaged machines see you in the screenshot number two do not have the opportunity to "add to the inventory" and also, you see the icon before the .vmx is not visible.

  It looks like that some how the vmx. the files are corrupted?

  What can I do? There is some repair auto or auto currupted file cleanup tasks?

  Best regards

  Dirk

  Hello Dirk,.

  You can try the following:

  -> Poweroff invalid virtual machines

  -> remove inventory

  --> Ensure that nothing of the invalid virtual computer processes are running on the host computer (ps auxwww | grep-i vmx and vm-support - x)

  ->, restart the services on the host management

  -> add them to the inventory

  If this does not work, you can unsubscribe the VMs and create a new VM containers, but instead to create a new virtual disk, you will point to the existing VMDK.

  Let us know how it goes...

• PowerCLi script to check if 2 virtual machines are on the same host

  Hello

  I'm nubby on PowerCLI and I would like to help in the construction of a script.

  The script should check if two virtual machines (named test1 and test2) are running on the same host in a vCenter and send a notification (email), if they do.

  Something similar with affinity / anti-affinite DRS rules (but not through the DRS enabled on vCenter).  My focus is on the affinity. In case this happens, I need vMotion one of them on an another ESXi host(manually or automated).

  What I have done until now is the following:

  Get - VM | Select Name, @{N = 'Cluster'; {E = {Get-Cluster - VM $_}}, '

  @{N = "ESX host"; {E = {Get-VMHost - VM $_}}, '

  @{N = 'vCenter'; E={$_. "(ExtensionData.CLient.ServiceUrl.Split('/') [2]}}, '"

  @{N = "Datastore"; {E = {Get-Datastore - VM $_}} | `

  Export-Csv - NoTypeInformation C:\Scripts\file.csv

  That becomes all the VMS and export a CSV file information:

  Name	Cluster	ESX host	vCenter	Data store
  test2	cluster_test	ESXi_test1	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1
  Test1	cluster_test	ESXi_test1	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1
  For1.local	cluster_test	ESXi_test1	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1
  VM1.local	cluster_test2	ESXi_test2	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1
  VM2.local	cluster_test3	ESXi_test3	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1
  VM31.local	cluster_test3	ESXi_test3	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1

  Thank you.

  Try like this.

  $tgtVM = "test1", "test2".

  Get-VM-name $tgtVM | Group-object - property VMHost | %{

  if($_.) County - gt 1) {}

  $vm = $_. Group | Get-Random

  $esx = $vm. VMHost

  $tgtEsx = get-Cluster - $vm VM | Get-VMHost | where {$_.} Name - not $esx. Name} | Get-Random

  Move-VM - $vm - Destination $tgtEsx VM - confirm: $false

  }

  }
