• How an application can be kept to continue working after a host down, and hav has its effection?

  After you have configured hav, to test it, stop the host, the virtual machine can restart on another host. but the application is unable to continue to work.csn for example, watch movie online can't keep continue, he should revive in the manual. How can he do continue to operate automatically.

  I believe that other applications such as SQL server or Exchange server must restart with restart the VM OS, right?

  Thank you.

• Can no longer add ESXi host to vCenter but OK VI Client connects

  I removed an ESXi host in a cluster on vCenter. Now when I try to add the host (whether for the cluster or stand-alone) the add hosts Wizard appears and has the correct information, but when I cliquerai on closing, that nothing happens for a few minutes, then I get the error:

  Unable to reach the specified host... Maybe it's because this host is not available on the network, there is a problem with the network configuration or management on the host services do not react.

  However, I can connect to the host directly with the VI client and which works very well, even though the events tab displays "VFAT: 2583: Possible FAT Corruption." My copy of ESXi is on a flashdrive in a HP Blade.

  I tried to reboot the host, but it makes no difference. Several of the responses to other users of similar problems is recommended to perform "service vmware-vpxa restart" on the host, but this does not apply to ESXi. I also tried to restart the vCenter, but that makes no difference either.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Will be

  Download iso hpvm-recovery on HP site and reinstall ESXi on flash drive.

  UPD: Yes, as Neil said, check your key USB HP if you bought ESXi Embedded. If you have the Green key aluminum, require the replacement of HP. And then, you definitely have to download iso that I mentioned above

• 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:

  https://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2057795

  Thank you.

  If you found it useful and you solved the problem just mark as answer.

• Can upgrade you 5.1 to 5.5 ESXi host using the zip file?

  I read the KB articles which seem to indicate that, to upgrade an ESXi host, you must use a vSphere Manager or an ISO on CD or USB.   But I saw someone go from 5.1 to 5.5 by downloading a zip file and running the commands, as indicated in http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2008939.

  When you connect through the vSphere client, it seems to indicate that it has updated to 5.5, but I fear that this may not be an upgrade path has officially supported or may be missing something.

  Anyone here can comment if you can upgrade between the press point with a zip and and the upgrade of the above method fix?

  Thank you

  Yes, it is a supported upgrade path, take a look here: VMware KB: methods of upgrade to ESXi 5.5

  Summary of 5.5 ESXi upgrade methods

  This table summarizes the methods supported for ESXi 5.5 upgrade:

  Upgrade methods	Upgrade from ESX/ESXi 4.x 5.5 ESXi	Switch from 5.0 to 5.5 ESXi ESXi	Go to ESXi ESXi 5.5 5.1
  vSphere Update Manager	Yes	Yes	Yes
  The CD interactive update DVD or USB drive	Yes	Yes	Yes
  Scripted upgrade	Yes	Yes	Yes
  vSphere Auto deploy	NO.	Yes, if the 5.0.x ESXi host has been deployed by using automatic deployment	Yes, if the 5.1.x ESXi host has been deployed by using automatic deployment
  esxcli	NO.	Yes	Yes

• Can't access ESXi host after VLAN for MGMT has been implemented?

  Hello

  We run ESXi 5.1 and recently to get our network

  Network administrator has received only 5 VLAN for MGMT vSwitch.  Since then, we are not able to ping on the ESXi host, or access in vCenter.

  He received different VLAN for vMotion and vSwitch and VM.

  Just would like to ask your advice what changes I need to do?

  Hello

  That doesn't sound right. You have 3 different vSwitches with 2 ports on each, so you can not the team together on the side of the switch.

  This would have been right if you had a vDS with 6 uplinks and various exchanges by the feature that you do not.

  You have need of the network is to set up 3 different teams one by vSwitch and to start with that you have the management must be in the access mode so that you can retrieve with your ESX box connectivity.

  Also the vMotion didn't need to be mode trunk you'll only of vMotion. Data (VM) must be master.

• Can I use the total amount of resources (cpu/ram) of two esxi hosts if I place a cluster so that a single VM gets all resources?

  I use vCenter 5.1 with two esxi 5 guests, both exactly the same (Evga SR - 2 pc with two Intel x 5670 each) with the exception of the disk storage. Processor x 5670 a 12 hearts if HT is enabled. Since then, I have 4 of these processors that would be 48 cores. Each processor is clocked at 4 GHz for a total of 16 GHz. Each host would also 24GO of total Yes 48 GB of ram.

  I doubt that this is possible, but what I want to do is to install a virtual machine like Win 7 x 64 and give all these resources to it... all of them (perhaps leave some carrots and ram aside for guests of esxi, of course). This vm is run to 16 GHz? It would be nice if we could create a cluster with a Setup like this and give the "total available resources' for a single virtual machine running on a esxi host.

  I doubt that this is possible because I've tried that before and it wouldn't let me create a virtual machine with this number of nuclei or ram because he said that they were not available or something... as if to suggest that I can only use the total amount of resources to AN esxi host.

  There may be another way I could give this 16 GHz machine?

  Could not assign more resources to a host to a virtual computer.

• VCenter 5.5 U1 can handle 5.0 ESXi hosts?

  According to VMware interoperability Guide, resembles vCenter 5.5 U1 can handle single host 5.5U1.

  It is a major problem for me. I just opened a folder with VMware, but can anyone confirm this?

  Thank you

  It seems that the matrix has been updated today and shows the compatibility for ESXi 4.0 or newer for vCenter Server 5.5 Update 1. What is important about vSAN, is that ESXi hosts have run the version 5.5 Update 1. The vSAN included in the GA 5.5 version was beta.

• VCM can collect and report on versions VIB ESXi hosts?

  Hello. I need to make sure that all of my guests have some version of the NetApp NFS (https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1237939/html/html/GUID-735E5961-E3FB-4105-A8F8-37F6444B68BC.html) plugin, and I was hoping that VCM could pick this up, since VUM somehow cannot properly report on the question of whether or not this plugin is installed in each ESXi host.

  However, I can't find any good data on this in VCM, or documentation of VCM, or using a web search.

  Does anyone know?

  Not at this time.

• How can I migrate an ESXi host since a vDS in a vSwitch with NAS storage on vDS

  I need to move some on a vDS esxi hosts to a standard vSwitch to move a new vCenter ESXi hosts

  I have two 10 GB network adapters that manage the ports VM, NAS storage and vmotion.

  Is there a documented procedure to move a vDS in a vSwitch, particularly for migration from NAS storage to a vSwitch?

  Thank you

  Tom

  No, you will need to do this on a per-host basis.

  I really recommend doing one by one, not in a hurry and checking all the networking before you proceed to the next step. Example: after migrating the vmkernel interfaces, check on a ssh connection to the host if it can vmkping the NAS. Before you move all the virtual machines on the host to the switch std, move one and check if the VM networking continues to function. This will prevent errors and downtime.

• can ESXi branch instant as does the workstation?

  can ESXi branch instant as does the workstation?

  Let's say that if there are snapshots: A - B - C - D

  ESXi can create instant B1 and C1 and C2, then captures and so on?

  Thank you.

  Yes - it can

• 2 ESXi hosts... Nor can see each stores data to other hosts

  All, morning

  I have a little problem with a cluster of 2 servers ESXi 4.1.  They are connected to a VC and Enterprise Plus license.

  We have about 15 stores of data, called san01, san02,... san15.  ESXi hosts, we'll call it ESXi-01 an ESXi-02.  As I said - they are in an active HA with DRS cluster.  They are part of a disaster recovery test, we are performing.  For some reason, only the host on which each data store has been added (add storage, select LUNS, use the existing signature) can use this store.  It does not appear when a new analysis VMFS on another host (or automatically as it should).  If you try to import the same LUN to host opposed when it is already mapped to the one, the only available option is to reformat the partition, which is not good as there are a several machines on each Lun.

  So now I have a host with san2, 3, 5, 7 & 9 and all the others are on the other host.  Of course, they are unable to balance the load using vMotion & DRS.  It makes me crazy - any suggestions please?

  Just FYI, the hosts are the IBM HS22 blade, cards QLogic FC and the SAN is a unit of IBM XIV.  In our main site (live), we have a XIV with all LUNS alive and running on a cluster of 12 ESX4 host.  The data is replicated on the XIV in our disaster recovery site using the iSCSI Protocol and the links were broken between the 2 sites at the beginning of the excersise, allowing data replicated to our Dr site must be set to read/write and connected to hosts via FC.  Both hosts use the same configuration as the other and have the same drive mappings to the SAN.

  Look forward to hearing your ideas!

  Dave.

  As I understand it, the issue could be caused by the LUNS being recognized as LUN snapshot (see the ESXi host logs)

  In this case, you could try to force mount the LUNS. See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1011387

• HELP PLEASE! I can't power off the virtual machine on host VWware ESXi

  I can not power off the virtual machine on host VWware ESXi is any other command. How can I restart?

  I need to power on the virtual machine, I did not back up!

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  in the ESXi console, run esxtop... you see the functioning of the virtual machine?

  If this isn't the case, you can restart management agents in the ESXi and you will be able to turn on the virtual machine again.

• Can we change ESXi host license license free licensed?

  We currently have two additional CPU of ESX license so that we can assign a new install ESXi host that is not connected to FC SAN.

  However, we would like to know because of the need, can change us the license assigned to the ESXi host under a free license, so that we can use it on another ESX or ESXi host?

  Thank you

  Yes, you can change any time, licenses you have is only the functionality.

  If you run virtual Center and you have a rich license feature and decided to change for free, save a single license, you could end up losing the functionality and the ability to power on if some vm of the vcpu exceed your new license mode.

  But tehcnically licenses you can change anytime, you could even remove a license and return to eval for 60 days.

• If I put in place an openfiler VM as a data store iSCSI & vmfs on two ESXi hosts, both ESXi hosts can access two data warehouses?

  If I put in place an openfiler VM as a data store iSCSI & vmfs on two ESXi hosts, both ESXi hosts can access two data warehouses?

  The reason why I ask, is that I have two hosts ESXi ESXi 4 running.  I do my backups with ghettoVCB, which I modified to create thin backups on one of the drives the.  I then wput them to the server, which causes them to become thick.  Directly targets the backup in a vmfs iSCSI on the server in the face shop.  It would save a step and the vmdk backup should remain thin.

  Thank you!

  The short answer is Yes. If you allow the ESX servers to see the LUN. This setting is configured to the Openfiler.
