• Cannot add host to vCenter server as data store is shared with an existing host to vCenter

  Recently, I removed a physical host to a virtual appliance of vCenter Server and am not able to add it to vCenter Server because I get an error message on the existing data store.  I run a simple server vCenter environment with two physical hosts and shared storage.  I've only been administering vCenter for a few months, so I'm relatively new on the technology and processes.  I searched the Internet for a few days now, but have not found documentation everyone has the same problem I have (which I find strange considering the simplicity my problem and configuration), so I tried to get help from the community of VMware.

  I received an error message a day this vCenter Server cannot connect to either of the two hosts so I removed the host (rather than disconnect and plug as I should have done).  Now, I am not able to connect to the host to vCenter server because the shared storage data store comes into conflict with the same data store used by the host in vCenter Server.  I get the error message is ' "Datastore"datastore_name"is in conflict with a store of data that exists in the data center which has the same URL (ds: / / / vmfs/volumes/UUID /), but is supported by different physical storage." "  I try to remove the host data store, but get the following error message: "resource" data store name: datastore_name VMFS uuid: UUID' is in use. ".  The error stack said: "'HostStorageSystem.UnmountVmfsVolume' call failed for object 'storage system' on ESXi"IP address"."  Cannot unmount volume ' data store name: datastore_name VMFS uuid: 'UUID' because the file system is busy. Correct the problem and retry the operation. "I tried to delete all virtual machines of the inventory, put the hosts in maintenance mode, restart physical hosts, but none of my troubleshooting contributes.

  I don't know what steps to take to get this data store driving with the host so that I can add it in vCenter Server.  You can provide me with any help is appreciated.

  Good thing you already moved the VMs on.  For what is 'disconnect', 'remove' or 'delete' might work anyway.  You should maybe put the host in maintenance mode or even reboot the host before you can remove data warehouses.  In an extreme case, I even had to remove the host and the hypervisor installed completely rebuild on the spot.  It is not that difficult or does not take long to reinstall, so be not afraid on this subject.  A clean reinstall could still save time compared to the deletion of data warehouses.

• Cannot add host ESXi 5.5 to vCenter for a routed network - cannot communicate with the specified host

  I was wondering if anyone has come across this problem before, who could give advice how to fix them:

  Host of pre-production UCS ESXi migration of a Production vCenter on another network (routing in place)

  Can ping both directions successfully - from vCenter Prod to the host of the pre-production

  no firewall between the two.

  902 port is open on the host

  Host connects to the pre-production vCenter on the subnet even fine

  VCenter production can add different hosts on the same network end

  Even with the various guests of ESXi UCS.

  ESXi host was completely disconnected and removed from vCenter inherited before attempting to add. No dvswitch physical or virtual.

  Then try and add, enter the user name and password and get cannot communicate with the specified host.

  Thank you

  The solution to this. Used ESX host 5.5 3B (3248547) update that disables SSLv3. (Ref: VMware ESXi 5.5 updated Notes version 3B) one of the consequences of this is that older versions of vCenter (such as trying to move the host) can not add/connect host.

  Enable SSLv3 to spend (port 443) on the resolved host (virtuallyPeculiar: connection A ESXi 5.5 U3b host to vCenter with a lower Version A.)

  Note: should not enable SSLv3 to Port 902.

  Ref:

  The SSLv3 Protocol on vSphere 5.x configuration (2139396) | VMware KB

  Many thanks to Suhas Savkoor of virtuallyPeculiar for resolution for this on his website display

• vSphere Essentials 5 and vCenter Essentials - cannot add host - vMotion

  I would like to know how to add a host to vCenter Essentials for vSphere essentials.

  We bought vSphere Essentials and Essentials vCenter to improve our existing for Vsphere 4.1 Essentials environment.  Everything went well with the update on the host computer.  vSphere and vCenter allocated through the vSphere client license keys.  We installed vCenter and web client on a 2008 Server VM on the esxi host. The host has a number of existing virtual machines.  When attempting to add a host after have created the data center must be of VMotion.

  Must the esxi host be empty when adding to vCenter essential?

  Thank you.

  It sounds like you administering hosts in the mode of assessment so far and I tried some of the Enterprise Plus features! The Essentials Kit includes not vMotion (only Essentials more done) then you should remove the port vMotion group - if there is one - in the virtual network configuration to make the edition of Essentials-compatible host.

• vSphere 5 re-install-cannot add hosts

  Hi guys,.

  The short version:

  I installed 2 Physics Dell R710, with installed ESXi 5. Each has 4 Win2008R2 VM on them. Everything works fine. At the time I ran upward a VM specifically for vSphere vCentre server in order to manage these. I've added both ESXi hosts to a data center that I created in the vCenter. Because of the budgets he decided not to buy Essentials Plus a moment while the evaluation has expired I uninstalled the software.

  Fast forward to today and I bought Essentials. I have re-installed the software vCentre on this same machine virtual I've done before. I created a new data center. However, I can't add two existing ESXi hosts. I run the Wizard "Add host", put in the IP of the host, the same username and password I used on these hosts when connecting via customer vSphere th... and wait and wait the time out - not given error. I see in the event log of the host that the user @(l'ip dele de serveur vCenter) has in... but there is nothing after that... so he can see and hit the host OK... but then it expires and does not just add it.

  Has anyone else seen elsewhere or know a solution? Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated

  Hello

  When you have uninstalled vCenter right there you should remove the vCenter database, but you do not the same, because of which you there are old entries in the database and you cannot add an existing database to the host.

  If possible you uninstall the vCenter server and delete the database and redo the fresh install by creating the new vCenter database.

• Cannot add hosts again Cluster?

  Here's the situation:

  3 servers to new ESX 4.0 I am wanting to add to a new brand

  cluster I created. I activated the cluster for HA, DRS and VCA

  and to add these 3 guests to it.

  I get the message error "the name 'host_name' already exists.

  This may be the cause? The documentation I've read, he says that

  a best practice to create an empty cluster first and then turn it on

  features that you want such as VCA, etc. and then add the hosts.

  I'm doing it, but I'm not having any success because of this error.

  Also, as a note aside... when I go through the add hosts Wizard and it

  Gets the license section. I have 2 options... Choose the mode of assessment

  or choose from a list of existing licenses... the problem is that the

  List of licenses... in this case 3 for guests I have already install

  with their appropriate licenses are grayed out. I can't select the

  licenses, so I leave the assessment and move. Is this normal?

  I appreciate all help... Thank you!

  Are you a right click on the evc cluster and by selecting Add a host?  If the host already exist in the virtual Center, just drag and drop them on the new cluster.  Ant add you host twice to vcenter.

• Cannot add host ESX to vCenter 4.1

  Hello

  For some reason, the option "add a host...". ' was greyed out on vCenter and I can't add ESX hosts. Any idea? Thank you.

  Assuming that's not an issue of licenses (60-day trial period), this can be is owed by an Essentials edition - as mentioned by weinstein5 - or "vCenter Server Foundation", which are both limited to a maximum of 3 guests or limited permissions that do not allow to add the hosts.

• Cannot add hosts by COMPLETE domain name

  Hello

  I have a vCenter 5 and that you try to add my 5 ESXi hosts using their host name or the FULL domain name, but it fails.

  I can add by IP addresses without any problem.

  I checked the DNS and is very good resolution.

  The hosts, Netbios and DOMAIN name resolves the IP address.

  even a reverse search with-a on intellectual property returns the correct hostname

  What can be the problem?

  Check if your vCenter is in your DNS reverse lookup zone

  I had this same problem before

  Please allow points to useful/correct answers

• Cannot add raw lun if the host is connected to vCenter

  I have MS cluster disks in HP EVA4400. They are presented to my guests. If I self host then I can add raw disks in VM but if I add host to vCenter then the lun of the bullies appear no more.

  Probably, if I anyone these LUNS and present with different lun ID then they would appear but can't bring those LUNS offline.

  Anyone have idea where I should start to investigate?

  I think that what you see is the expected behavior.

  In a cluster environment, you can add a unit logic as a ROW only one number. While adding, a mapping file raw device called (vmdk file) is created. On the other node MSCS, you must connect to this mapping file (via Add existing virtual disk) rather than create another ROW.

  Access to the RAW LUN through multiple files for mapping (if you manage to somehow create them) could cause problems with locking and possible data corruption.

  Found the problem as vCenter 6.0 version I was running. I was running an older version of the VC and the current version of ESXi.
  Downloaded the current version and reinstalled and all good.

• Cannot add the ESX 6.0 host to vCenter Server 6.0

  OK, I'm testing laboratory a vsan 6.0 cluster.

  I have my running 6.0.0 esx hosts and vcenter server is 6.0.0 also.

  I have the services platform on a virtual machine and vcenter on another. I was able to create a data center, then a cluster below.

  Then I went to try to add a host to my group and I get this error...

  Failed to contact the specified host (hostname\IP). The host may not be available on the network, may have a network configuration problem, or that the management on this host services may not respond.

  
  

  Per this KB: KB VMware: Add a host VMware ESXi/ESX from VMware vCenter Server fails

  
  

  I confirmed that my vcenter server and platform services server can see all esx hosts. From the vcenter server, it can ping the host esx and PuTTY can access all of them. I even installed the client and it can connect to all esx hosts. I used the netbios name, IP and FULL domain name and they all work.

  I have only a single subnet, so this isn't a problem. DNS resolution works in all areas of both sides, vcenter esx hosts and host esx to vcenter.

  
  

  I am quite puzzled.
  

  
  

  
  

  OK, after working with VMware on this issue, I think that I thought about it.

  All my hosts are DL360 G6 servers.

  My hosts are run the same build «VMware-ESXi-6.0.0-2494585-HP-600.9.2.38-Mar2015.iso» ESX Downloaded from HP.

  All buildings are in trial mode.

  After placing a call to VMware, they had me build some ESX VM, the services of the platform and the vcenter VM on an ESX host. We suspended because it took all day to go upward.

  Once I woke up all the parts (sql server, esx vm, server platform & vcenter) in virtualization nested, I created my data center, then Cluster then added the ESX host.

  The hosts added properly, no error. Then I remembered when I installed ESX inside a virtual machine, I am angry that the iso, I had the habit of HP does not work in my VM nested due to virtualized hardware.

  Then a fire came into my head. We will rebuild all of the physical cluster but NOT use the CV provided the iso file but use VMware provided iso file "VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 6.0.0 - 2159203.x86_64.iso".

  I did it today. I have rebuilt all hosts with the provided iso file VMware ESX...

  Spun SQL Server vCenter, service platform, all VM VM VM you need. My AD & DNS VM are on another server, so he has been upwards all the time.

  Connected to the web interface (yuck!).

  Created my data center...

  Created my Cluster...

  Add all my Cluster hosts.

  All of this worked!

  Therefore, if you encounter the same problem, I'm plan to generate your with the provided iso file VMware ESX hosts and try it. In my case, the provided HP iso file didn't work properly for me.

  I also downloaded the iso file of HP 2 other times to make sure and do a validation test and it did the same thing.
