• Fault tolerance with an ESX host and two NFS storage pools

  Is it possible to have a fault with the tolerant pair tolerance fault running on the same ESX host, but each partner of a couple running on a separate NFS share?

  N ° you will need:

  2 ESX host

  1 x shared storage

  1 x THICKNESS VMDK provisioned.

  In your case, it's completely the opposite.

• storage is not avalibel lanyard for esx host

  Hello

  After the restart of all my esx host, they lost a storage. I can see the storage on the vmhba. How do I reconnect my host esx with output storage in shape with the help of add storage?

  using the GUI?

  Click on the host computer, click the tab confgiuration, then advanced settings, then LVM.

  You set the value to 1, go back, and I think it will show your defined again data stores where the VMDK files.

  Your not really supposed to run with him on this subject can do instant appear strange and other things, in order to you once you have them should rename back to their own names, not names assigned the will gave them.

  PS: When you add the VM (s) return, make sure you do it to the custom help, then it lets you choose existing datastors.

• ESX host will not use VMotion

  Hi all

  I have a question maybe someone can help.

  I installed two new ESX hosts in their own cluster, managed by a single data center environment.

  After the installation and updates, adding them to the Cluster environment and adding new licenses to the license server VC.

  I have one of the two ESX host who won't use VMotion. Everything is allowed as should be. But in the section of the Add On to the Configuration of the license, I see the following:

  VMware DRS Licensed for 2 cpu

  VirtualCenter for ESX Server Licensed agent for 2 cpu

  VMotion will not used

  VMware Consolidated Backup for 2 cpu license

  VMware HA under license for 2 cpu

  Additional details:

  Both servers in the cluster are identical hardware profiles: Intel 3.2Gig Xeon, 2 cavities 4 hearts, no HT.

  32Gig of RAM, (Proliant DL380 G5)

  The two servers connected to the SAN via Fibre Chanel Switch, redundant.

  Concert NIC ((VMNic 0 (Console 1), VMNic 1 (Standby adapter), VMNic 2 (Console 2) (the Virtual Machine Network), (VMkernel), (ports of vSwitch 56 none VLAN not defined) VMNic 3 (Standby adapter)).)

  No errors in the Logs of license, the Console message, etc. Everything seems in good health with no update needed.

  Both servers see the unique data store, created on the same SAN which it connects through the switch channel.

  VMFS 3.31.  Unique data store with several extensions (8 in total, the creation of a size of 15 to storage).

  Any ideas?

  All my other hosts using VMotion, but it does not work and there is no difference in configuration, I know.

  Thank you

  Some of the most common problems that cause problems VMotion - have you enabled for VMotion vmkernel port? VMkernel ports on the same segments of entwork?

  Can you provide the ip addresses for your vmkernel enabled for vmotion -

• Connect an ESX host 4.0 in a store of data VMFS 3.31 with vMotion, and ESX 3.5 hosts

  Hello

  I moved 2 x a new vCenter 4.0 3.5 ESX hosts.  I also have a new ESX 4.0 host.

  Can I connect this ESX host 4.0 for the data store using the 2 x ESX 3.5 hosts?  It is a VMFS 3.31 on a CX3-20 SAN data store. I was then going to vMotion virtual machines to the new host and reinstall the old.

  I just fear that the new ESX 4.0 host will do something to the data store that make it incompatible with the older ESX 3.5 servers.

  Thanks in advance,

  Euan

  Yes, you can connect and use these data with ESX versions warehouses. If you have sVMotion it will work as well. On ESX 3.5 you can only move the guest as a whole on an ESX 4.0 host, you can move the vDisks independently.

  It is perhaps unnecessary, but when I update the ESX 3.5 servers 4.0 I unplug the storage until the update is running. Just in case...

• In vMotion which files moves the destination ESX host?

  VMware dear Experts,

  Virtual computer on a shared storage shops, while moving the virtual machine from one ESX host to another, I want to know that VM all files are moved to the destination host ESX, once the vmotioned process is complete.

  Concerning

  Mr. VMware.

  Some files are moved with vmotion - the content of the memory VM is moved from an ESXi host to another - the files do not change. If you are talking about storage vmotion where the files that make up a virtual machine are moved to another data store while the VM is running - the VMDK files are copied first.

• What vmnic Storage vMotion use?

  Hello everyone,

  I created my pile and all around nic teaming vmotion fault tolerance and so on... BUT! :

  There are things that I can't understand...

  What vmnic is used for storage vmotion? !

  I explain, when I have a virtual machine to the host and the other, no problem the correct vmnic is used, with nic teaming definition of vmotion.

  BUT, when I migrated a virtual machine from a to another data store every time, but every time vmnic 0 point?

  Any ideas?

  Thanks a lot because I really don't understand why...

  In addition to my question, I would like to say that when I linked the vmkernel on iSCSI port was on the same subnet and the same configuration of network even vlan (no VLAN sort...).

  OK, that explains my question from above, must have been validated as I wrote.

  What you need to do to be able to get through your desired interfaces iSCSI traffic is to have at least the different IP subnets. Different VLAN is also highly recommended, but not technically necessary, however a best practice for several reasons.

  So, basically, set the IP on the SAN iSCSI target some address a different IP subnet, set in place the VMkernel interfaces on the host with IP on the same subnet. Make sure that the Vmkernels is connected to one the VMNIC you want, which is not the same as your network management on VMNIC0.

  Start with that and make sure it works, then you might look at the mulitpathing / iSCSI binding.

• Make a single LUN can be used by multiple ESX hosts

  Is it possible for a single LUN to be made usable by multiple ESX hosts at the same time?  For example, if you have an image or used by a vSphere environment requiring other vSphere environments in the data center access, you can put the image on a storage place where completely separate ESX hosts vSphere environments completely separate can see the same lun and clone the image or necessary?

  If the logic unit number is locked by accessed by an ESX host will be lock expires when the ESX host is not an another ESX host in another environment vSphere allowing access to the logical unit number, or is the lock, as it is usable by a single ESX host, until the storage is reconfigured to make it usable by a different host?

  Is there a better solution to this scenario?

  Thank you

  You can deploy both at the same time.  Locking occurs only for changes to metadata and only for the shooting of subsecond.  It is not required for the entire deployment process.

• You can restart nfs storage WITHOUT having to reboot ESX host?

  Hi community

  I wanted to know what your experience has been reset to the nfs storage devices WITHOUT having to restart the ESX servers. I can stop the virtual machines that use the storage, but would like to avoid off ESX hosts as they require a visit to the data center for put in operation and I can do all the rest of the House.

  My options are either then restart the ESX host (that I can do it remotely of course) or the ESX Server restores in the nfs storage when it is up?

  This is the first time such a restart will be required so I use

  this as a learning experience and the VMs on those ESX hosts are not

  criticism.  (although don't tell users which.) )

  Thanks in advance

  Yes, of course you can.

  ESXes automatically reverts to the storage.

• Can we use use DELL R610 / R710 for execution of the ESX host?

  We will purchase a new server to run ESX 3.5 or vSphere.  We have new DELL servers.

  We considered R610 and R710, but we see that there are only 2 PCIe slots.  As one of them be given for an image ADDITIONAL NIC card, there is only one location for HBA.   It is advisable to use a Dual Channel QLogic QLE2462 HBA.

  However, it seems that the Dual Channel HBA will be a single point of failure - if it is connected to 2 different switches FC.  We would love to hear if anyone uses these DELL servers to run the ESX host.

  Thank you

  Good question, I would have preferred two HBA cards. If storage fails everything disappeared. If network failure you will not have access to the outside, but the chances of data corruption is smaller.

• vMotion (without shared storage) between two hosts with different vSwitches standard s VM

  I can VM vMotion (without shared storage) between two hosts with different vSwitches standard? The vSwitches on these two hosts have different names and number of NIC, but have the same name of portgroup.

  
  Thank you.

  Yes, you can in a Storage VMotion to one Esxi to another with no shared storage...

  It is important the portgroup bears the same name... This is the reference for the VM...

• update of esx host, use do not update manager

  We have some for security reason esx host we are do not allow to connect to the internet and Update Manager is no/prob can't be installed (security), so I need to download and install the patches manually.

  I need to apply the following patch, but at the bottom of the KB, I get

  To apply patches to ESXi host is via the VMware Update Manager. For more information, see installation and administration of VMware vSphere Update Manager.

  What is the typical whatsoever?  is this one?

• Call commands on the ESX host using powercli

  Hi all

  I need to run a specific command on some of my esx hosts, let's say "vmware - v", a powercli command, or automate by any means without using SSH.

  I see the invoke-expression command can do this, but I did not need to make it work.

  a syntax such as get-vmhost < hostname >. Invoke-expression-control 'vmware - v"does not work.

  Any ideas how I could do this?

  Thank you!

  I'm afraid that Invoke-Expression is a PowerShell cmdlet that is only intended to run code on the local computer.

  Without using SSH, I suspect that you will have a hard time finding a way to do it.

• Cannot delete entry local old ESX host storage

  HY all!

  We changed one of our esx hosts (say name = ESX - A1) with a more recent material, the server also called ESX - A1.

  These where the steps...

  1.) former host in maintenance mode

  2.) deleted from our cluster HA.

  former host stop 3.)

  4. change material)

  5.) poweron new host with same name ESX - A1

  Everithing was very good, except for one...

  I still can't see the local storage of old ESX - A1 in the inventory of data store and the option 'delete' is unavailable (dimmed).

  Thanks for any help!

• Use of DNS by ESX host

  I'm curious to know how important dns entries using host esx (DNS configuration & Routing tabs) as we change all of our dns servers. Do I need to reboot the ESX host, if I change the ip or is the service good enough restart or simliar control network? All the vm have dns entries, so I'm not sure what the guests need even references to. It's on Vsphere 4.

  Thank you

  Stuart

  If you run the only stand hosts, DNS is not important. However, if you run the hosts in a vCenter environment you need to make sure that the DNS resolution works. Otherwise, you will experience issues with host disconnection of the vCenter and HA no longer works.

  The DNS entries can be changed on the fly, which means that you can enter the new DNS servers in addition to those current and once the new DNS servers are in place, remove the old entries.
