• 6u2 ESXi host nested on VMware Workstation for Linux referee v12

  Hello all, I have

  I have a lab environment virtual running in VMware Workstation for Linux v12, and my ESXi hosts do not work correctly on one of the virtual networks. All my troubleshooting suggests a problem with nested ESXi hosts that may be a bug, but I want to assure you that I did everything properly first. That's why I post here with the hope that if I made a mistake that maybe someone else can point out he me.

  Physical system

  8 core Intel Xeon 2.1 GHz CPU

  128 GB of RAM

  OS - kernel Linux 64 - bit w/3.19.0-32-generic Linux Mint 17.3 (fully updated from this announcement)

  VMware Workstation 12 Pro - 12.1.1. Build-3770994 (fully updated from this announcement)

  Nested ESXi host VM

  ESXi v6.0.0 (Build 3825889, completely updated from this announcement)

  4 cards 'physical' (only 3 used for now)

  -all use the e1000 NIC hardware virtual, but also tried vmxnet3 NIC with no difference

  -vSwitch0 use vmnic0 & 1 vmnet16 of virtual network in a pair of active / standby

  -vSwitch1 uses vmnic2 on network virtual vmnet18

  -vmk0 used for management on vSwitch0 and vmk1 for iSCSI on vSwitch1

  -"Promiscuous" mode and forged passes enabled on all Port vSwitch groups (activating or turning off these features makes no difference)

  Test performed until now

  I checked that all the IP addresses and network masks used are correct.

  With the help of vmkping I ping other nodes on the network vmnet16 with success.

  With the help of vmkping I tried to ping the other nodes in the network vmnet18, but that has failed.

  I have depolyed other non - ESXi VMs on the vmnet18 network, and they are able to ping each other, but are unable to ping or ping by the ESXI host.

  I tried various material virtual NIC as mentioned before, but without changes in the results.

  I tried to use only local network instead of the vmnet18 guest network segments with no change in results.

  When I find out the status of the network adapters on the ESXi host through vCenter or host incorporated client vmnic0 & 1 time display network information, but vmnic2 shows no networks. Yet, I know that there is a network with different VM communicate on it. Moreover, I was able to get all of this work on a Windows system running 10 Workstation (this is the laptop that my employer gives me with).

  Having built nested ESXi labs on different platforms as well as physical environments in the past, I'm very confused as to why I can't get this special configuration to work. At this point my gut tells me that this is probably a bug any with the nested themselves ESXi hosts. Since I can get all this work on vmnet16 including the management of ESXi hosts and the VCSA that I use, I am sure that my vSwitch configuration is correct (other than the IP address space and vmnic configurations is bascially the same). Because I can get other virtual machines to communicate over the network vmnet18 I don't see how can be a VMware Workstation for the issue physical Linux host. Is there something obvious I'm missing here? I read on the ESXi hosts nested under VMware Workstation after having known problems and bugs with networking. If anyone else has experienced this?

  Thanks for any help others can provide!

  Kind regards

  Well, the problem is now resolved. The problem was what covelli was trying to explain, but I couldn't because the physical host network adapters being mentioned.

  The problem on the Linux host, but it was a problem of permissions with the virtual Ethernet adapters. The following article has the fix:
  With the help of Ethernet virtual cards in Promiscuous Mode on a Linux host (287) | VMware KB

  Even if I launched the workstation under the root user I have yet met this problem and which still makes no sense to me, but change the permissions solve the problem. I was not getting an error message on my Linux Mint and Ubuntu system, but when I tried on a second box of Linux Mint that I just got the error has been generated, and the error message was the above link it contains.

  So, here's what I learned:

  (1) the question has nothing to with a VMware Workstation definition that you can configure.

  (2) the question has nothing to do with a physical network card.
  (3) the question has nothing to do with any vmnic on the nested ESXi host.

  (4) apparently virtual Ethernet adapters are not the correct permissions when created.

  All you have to do to fix this is:

  (1) open a terminal.

  (2) run the command ' sudo chmod a + rw/dev/vmnet * "(don't forget to run this each time that you create a new virtual network).

  You can also create a group, as shown in the link above and simply give this group the correct permissions. Personally, I think it's easier to just give everyone the rw permission.

  I appreciate the help that others have offered. I did not understand what was asked for in previous answers because of the terms that have been used.

• Strange behavior mouse Apple in ESXi VM (Windows Server 2008R2) / ESXi host is of type nested in Fusion Pro 8

  Hello

  my Apple mouse shows strange behavior when I start my VM and click in it.

  Its an ESXi host nested in a virtual machine in Fusion 8 Pro.

  Can someone explain it to me?

  Kind regards

  Roland

  He has always had problems when using nested desktop computers, and it is simply the result of the way the mouse behaves fundamentally and how this position gets interpolated differently with nested windows VMRC.

  I would just connect to the console of the VM (via vCenter) directly from the Mac, with the guest.

  (the 192.168.178.42 would be accessible from the Mac and the VMRC plugin works very well).

• Will be the virtual machine starts on another host (during the blackout) if he can't switch to Maintenance Mode?

  Hello

  We use a cluster with 2 5.1 ESXi hosts.  When attempting to place an ESXi host in Maintenance mode, he failed and said "not enough resources to satisfy configured level of failover for HA.

  We would like to know, just in case where one of these ESXi hosts failed, VMs will be start on another ESXi host (at least some) or all of them will be down (i.e. None of them start)?  If no virtual machine will be migrated, we will change our level of failover for HA.

  Thank you

  This occurs when you enable admission control on your HA cluster. When the failure of the host occurs and you have Admission control is enabled, it will let all market on the other host machines because it violates the constraints of availability.

  If you turn this off all VM is switched even if you do not have enough resources to accommodate all the s VM on a single host. On a long term, I would say that you have sufficient resources to allow this to happen. But for now, you can turn it off and try.

  It is an ugly one. At least a restart if not re-install. To minimize downtime, you can close out of virtual machines to the inventory and put them on another host/cluster.

• 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

• Unable to start x 64 VMs on nested ESXi host

  Hi gurus,

  I would ask your expertise on the question with my ESXi nested 5.1 checking. I managed to install the nested ESXi host, but I can't start a x 64 VMs. I continue to ask me what follows:

  
  Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHz
  DH77EB
  EBH7710H.86A.0100.2013.0312.1351
  Virtualization / VT - x is already enabled in the BIOS.
  Turn off the Bit is also activated.
  verified the host physical and NestedHVSupported set to TRUE
  added vhv.enable = "true" on the physics of the host \etc\vmware\config
  created nested ESXi VM
  original operating system is any other 64 bit
  Once the virtual machine is created, I changed the OS to VMware ESXi 5.x (experimental)
  NX/XD flag is already set to expose
  added - H - mask CPU; ECX
  Adds the following on the nested ESXi vmx file:
  Monitor.virtual_mmu = "hardware".
  Monitor.virtual_exec = "hardware".
  VHV. Enable = "true".
  monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = 'true '.
  Thanks in advance!

  According to the journal of the ESXi VM file, its configuration (.vmx) file does not contain the vhv.enable = "true" entry. Only the configuration file contains, that was how it should be done in ESXi 5.0, but not in ESXi 5.1.

  Try to add the entry to the ESXi VM and make sure you reload the configuration (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1026043) before turn VM ESXi.

• 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?

  

  

• Nested ESXi hosts and iSCSI POC

  People,

  I want to set up a proof of concept for a two host, two models NAS for my workplace. At this point, I put a host of ESXi nested using this Vcritical guide - http://www.vcritical.com/2011/07/vmware-vsphere-can-virtualize-itself/

  This made wonder. I have two virtual servers within the main install ESXi with the three hosts on the network 192.168.0.x. I then added a second NETWORK adapter on the 'server' and separated from the network iSCSI (192.168.1.x) and pointed to a simple NAS. This went well now. The problem is the hosts nested cannot access the iSCSI network.

  It's all a bit above my paygrade, but I can't work on how I can get the hosts nested on the iSCSI network. I tried to add network cards second in virtual computers running virtual hosts and their allocation to the 192.168.1.x network.

  Can anyone help to shed light? Someone you will understand my question or what I'm doing? I hope so!

  Thanks in advance

  HP

  Hello

  Your primary host see the iscsi network and connect to your nas Server?

  It should just be a case of creating a VM portgroup on this same vswitch, with settings of appropriate VLANs if necessary, assigning your esx hosts nested this portgroup vNIC. On the nested hosts themselves, you will need to implement the initiator software iscsi etc. as usual.

• Attempt vSwitch configuration change and now the ESXi host and virtual machines offline

  So I have no doubt, I have myself to blame for this one. I was trying to change my vSwitch from 100 Mbps to 1000 Mbps when an 'operation timed' error out jumps-to the top and my vCenter Server lost connection with my ESXi host. I tried to restart the host manually, but that did not help. The host is not the ping requests and all the virtual machines on that host are offline; None of them vMotion off to my other ESX Server.

  I tried to reconnect the host computer in vCenter, but it is obviously does not connect because it can't ping it. I logged the ESXi console and all the network settings appear to be correct. I'm used to connect to the ESX console where you can execute commands, but it's my first ESXi host, so I don't know what I can do.

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  -D.

  If you had your management port and VMs on different vSwitches / NIC leave on framework would eliminate a false positive. As in your case the management port reportedly follows the cable / about speed, but the virtual machine network would be intact (and I'm assuming that your storage space as well).  In this case the VMs system would have worked very well even if the management port did not work.

• VM starts not directly from the CDROM drive ESXi host

  Hello. I was looking for a long time another discussion for people who have had the same problem, I found it but the answers that the candidates are not useful for me. I explain my problem giving you as much information as I can.

  I have created a virtual machine in order to intall inside Windows Server 2K 3. The problem is that I can't make the start of the VM from the CD I put in the ESXi host CDROM drive. I installed ESXi 3.5 U4. For the virtual CD/DVD Drive 1 (only in the virtual machine), I chose "Host device" as the device Type.  The only option, it's for me inside this option is ' / vmfs/devices/genide / vmhba0:0:0.» The message I get in the console view is "Not found operating system"

  Storage adapters I in the ESXi host are: LSI1068E - & gt; vmhba2 where I see my RAID1 disk1. The other device is ICH10 4 port SATA IDE Controller - & gt; vmhba0 where I see the physical CDROM Drive.  I also have another device that is "USB Storage Controller" - & gt; vmhba32 where I also see the CDROM (but when I create the virtual machine does not allow me to choose this controller, vmhba32:0:0). This controller is a "SCSI" where alumni are "Block SCSI".

  I have also checked the box "connect to power on" in the settings of VM window. The CD booteable because unless I restart the ESXi host and I do boot from the CDROM it loads the Windows Setup program. Thus, the CD is OK and the CD-ROM drive is also OK.

  I don't know what to do and what to test. If I choose to boot the client machine, the virtual machine option starts ok. The problem is that I need to transfer all the contents of the CD by the network and right now I am using an ADSL connection.

  The server I have is IBM System x 3650 M2, which is compatible with ESXi 3.5 U4.

  I know I have another option is to boot from and ISO image. Here, I have a few questions. First of all, how to download the ISO to the ESXi host image? Do I have to use the RCLI? Secondly, I want to make sure that only a problem of booting from the CDROM or the problem is maybe the ESXi of CDROM drive is not recognized by ESXi, so I'll never be able to use it.

  Advanced averybody thanks.

  The discussion has been moved to the VI: forum ESXi 3.5.  It seems to be the case, but could check you that ESXi is load the IDE driver for the ICH10 controller?  This mode is the controller of the value in the BIOS?

• 5.1 ESXi host disconnects

  One of our guests 5.1 ESXi 4 disconnects the VC. All the virtual machines on this host seem to work just fine however I can't do simple things like fast vMotioning all vm it. An attempt led to a vmotion taking an hour than to throw an error of something like its take too long.

  I spoke with vmware support, and they say that the problem is related to one of my volumes in my SAN. I have a PS6110E EqualLogic and the firmware and the firmware of hard drives are up to date.

  When I ssh host and cd to the directory of Volumes and try to list the contents of the directory, it crashes and I have to open a new session in Putty. When I go in the volumes directory and replace the directories by a known volume of good, all right. I can see its content very well. Opening upward the Group Manager indicates the volume of the suspect as having enough available disk space and there is no alarm. Access to command line with this volume name, however, results in a lock upward.

  VMWare support says I have a problem with this volume and that seems to be the case, but while I wait for a response from support, I thought I'd see if someone might have any idea what I can watch in the meantime.

  Thank you

  Dave

  The problem had nothing to do with the SAN, it turns out that. Apparently, there was a sort of hang up handshakes between the host and the VC. I had a difficult start to the host and restart the VC too to restore the handshake between the two. All right.

  Thank you

• Cannot prepare ESXi hosts

  Hey all,.

  I get the error attached when trying to prepare my two 5 ESXi hosts to vCloud Director. I did some research on Google and lead only I found that it was possible the prereqs for DRS were dissatisfied, be they (DRS is enabled on both) in my environment. I went to the hosts and has attempted to examine the agent logs, but they aren't there, so it seems that this process does not quite right from the start. Any suggestions?

  This command on its own, must return an output XML of VIBs installed on the ESX host.  It is somehow a post-dated check to see if the agent is already there.

  If you are in Mode of Support SSH/Local Tech, the output should start something like this:

  # > pwd

  / usr/lib/vmware /.

  #>. / esxcli-software vib.list

   
     
       

  .....

  If the command does not work then you will not be able to prepare a host.

  Are these images of ESXi embedded by chance?  My lab Kit is ESXi Installable on some HP blades.

  If these are incorporated, see if there is an update of flash card and that your partition zero is set on a persistent location:

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1033696

  Hope it gets you going to... worst case is to recreate the ESXi host for an installation on a single host CD to see if it clears up the problems.

  Best regards

• Why the two attempts to start are necessary to start the 10 Windows Boot Camp?

  The first attempt to start seems to stall after the first Windows will appear and the monitor did his normal black screen.   A manual power off is required.  The second attempt to start Windows 10 Home functions correctly.  This on a MacBook with OS X installed 10.7.5 late 2006.  This MacBook as the host has Oracle VM in VirtualBox for Mac installed with Windows 7 Home, Windows 7 Pro and Linux Mint installed 17.2 as guests.  All these operating systems work relatively well.  Only two boot problem with Boot Camp is unusual.

• How to remove ESXi host of Distributed Switch

  3 Cluster DRS - 1 x physical, 2 nested nodes in a LAB environment

  I need to downgrade a 6.0 U2 ESXi host and replace it (from ESXi nested in Physics). I am trying to remove the host from a distributed switch, but it seems that I can't do that until I remove it from the Distributed Switch. I can't remove the VMkernel group management ports that prevents me to remove the host from the Distributed Switch. Any suggestions? I guess that I need that migrate to a Standard switch first?

  I am connected to the ESXi host through vSphere Client, migrated the group management to a Standard switch ports, then I was able to clear the host of the distributed switch. I could then remove the host from the Cluster.
