Cannot add to the second VM so once added to a machine virtual of RDM

Dear Experts,

In our environment of Esxi 5.0 U2, on a single physical host of Esxi, I created two virtual machines to Win 2008R2, I don't have any MSCS cluster. I created a LUN and presented to the host, the size of the logical unit number is 10 GB. I've added it to VM1 as RDM (virtual) and it is perfectly correct, I'm able to see in windows. When I tried the same add RDM of VM2, I found the choice of the RDM is grayed out, why is, it is not possible to allow 2 virtual machines see same RDM?

I've attached screenshots to understand how it looks. The SCSI bus sharing on VM_1, I chose virtual to share a "vdisk" between VMS in same host, but that did not help either, I realized later, it is to share a "vdisk" and I'm looking for using RDM even in two VM

Please see what could be the reason and if this is possible or not possible, what are the technical reasons?

waiting for response.

Thank you

Hello Mustafa, in your previous answer to me you advised me 'use the existing drive' and attach to VM second, now with your answer you mention it will damage the drive.

Sorry initially I Although your use of some clustering software that's why I advised to use the existing drive. Since your not using any clustering software, this will damage the drive.

    iSCSI mounts with multiple paths - relatively new unit with more modern hardware

    CHAP not used

    I'm running a few hosts in order to climb the same iSCSI data stores. The iSCSI LUN is visible and editable by all hosts. If Host1 is to map the iSCSI LUN (VMFS5) and a VM is powered, Host2 can add that VM to the inventory. It's possible with NFS iSCSI for a reason any. This is for a specific reason? Only when I turned off the virtual computer can I add it to both hosts. Other that just lock files are placed in the directory, I missed something related to the lock?

    From now on, adding new esxi hosts does not allow me to add existing virtual machine, less than the voltage first. Once again, NFS does, iSCSI, this isn't. Any ideas?

    It is not specific to ISCSI but rather to the use of VMFS. NFS has no awareness VM VMFS is and why it is not possible to do that with iSCSI / VMFS. There is a lock on the disk for each virtual machine of (race), and that's why the second host is not able to add this host to its inventory. With vSphere HA, this lock is released when a failover should occur.

  • Disconnected ESX host cannot add to the CR

    It started with me being unable to power on a virtual machine that I created because of "Insufficient resources to meet the level of failover configured for HA" which is great because that's how to configure HA.  I tried to reconfigure the AP to the host by double-clicking on the host and select this option.  Once I did that it failed about 30% with "an error has occurred while setting up the HA Agent on the host" and the networking page disappeared from the configuration tab similar to what a lot of people reported during the upgrade, I think an earlier version.  This is not the case, I did not update anything.  Then I restarted service service mgmt-vmware restart and the ESX host disconnected from the VC altogether.  I can't use the VI client to connect to the host in question, but I am connected via the service console. All VM and the host not to requests ping and everything works. I've disabled HA and DRS and tried to add new ESX host that has not worked.

    Any help is appreciated.  Thank you.

  • Questions about the allocation of multiple NETWORK cards in a machine virtual Windows XP Machine HOST/NAT or bridged?

    Hi all

    That is the situation. We have a Machine physics WindowsXP with 5 CARDS, all with static IP. Only be connected to the internal network without physical Internet connection is used.

    Map NETWORK 1 has a 10.34.78.241/255.255.255.0 IP Gateway 10.34.78.2

    Map NETWORK 2 has an IP 192.168.22.242/255.255.255.0

    5 NIC has an IP 192.168.242.10/255.255.255.252

    I used VMWare Converter Standalone to do a P2V PC, which works well with the latest version of VMWare Workstation. All were brought to the course successfully. The virtual machine has 5 Networksas by the XP Machine of origin.

    to adapt the VMS NICS? Or is there a better way to do it?

    Cheers for any help and advice that can be provided...

    If I'm wrong, you should be able to create a Bridged (vmnet) network for each physical card. Make sure that one (which is created by default) is mapped to a physical NIC dedicated rather than automatic.

  • Add the signature field to the second occurrence of two words (nieme Word) on the page


    I have a script that searches for two words ("APP ENG") on a page and adds a digital signature field.

    The trick is that there are two occurrences of these words and place the script in the field of digital signature on the first ocurrance of the two words.


    I need the digital signature script to add to the second occurrence of these two words.

    There was a counter added the script, but this place then the field on the word ("ENG"), it might have to do with the meter to count one word instead of two.


    If someone can help me to modify the script to count the words and the occurrences of two words instead of one word it would be most appreciated.

    Script as follows:


    var ckWords; pair of words to test

    var number = 0;

    numWords = this.getPageNumWords (0); number of words on the page

    loop through the words on the page

    for (var j = 0; j < numWords-1; j ++) {}

    get the pair of words to test

    ckWords = this.getPageNthWord (0, j) + ' ' + this.getPageNthWord (0, j + 1); test words

    If (ckWords == "ENG APP") {}

    Count += 1;

    If (count == 2) {}

    var q = this.getPageNthWordQuads (0, j);

    convert quads in the rotation by default user space

    Userspace used by links

    m = (new Matrix2D).fromRotated(this,0);

    mInv = m.invert)

    r = mInv.transform (q)

    r = r.ToString)

    r = r.split(",");

    var m = this.addField ("EngSignature", "signature", 0,

    ([r [0], [1] r, r [2], r [5]]) ;

    }

    }

    }

    Thank you.

  • Call "HostNetworkSystem.UpdateVirtualSwitch" for the error of the object when you attempt to add the second NETWORK card

    Hi there - first post here, so please be nice :-).

    We are just trying to place an ESX4.1 own deployment in our environment (no previous installation of VMWare) to our main office, using Dell M610 and blades blades M600 to what would become our DR - two sites site hosting VMS on Equallogic iSCSI SAN disks.

    I configured 4 of our blade M610 with ESX 4.1 successfully and they work very well.  These blades have double NIC onboard, and after the initial installation of ESX, I could go to the virtual switch and add in the second NIC like vmnic1 (because one had already been detected during installation).  This fine workd for 4 guests on the M610 blades.  However, I came today to make my first installation on one of the old M600 blades and I encountered a problem.

    Installation went without any problems and I was able to add the host in my vCenter.  I can change all the settings without problem (created the Port of VMKernal for my connection to SAN iSCSI etc, but as soon as I try to add in the second NETWORK card, he paused for a while, and then I get the following error message:)

    Call 'HostNetworkSystem.UpdateVirtualSwitch' of object 'networkSystem-56 "on vCenter Server"VCEN01." ournetwork.local"failed. (network name has been changed for post).  When this happens, it locks up again for several seconds, and when the system returns, I can no longer communicate with the ESX host (Observer of events in vCenter watch 'host is not responding' and I find that I can not ping the host unless I reboot it.)

    If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it that I don't want to proceed down to the line with our Installer if theres an underlying issue and I need to redo everything.

    Concerning

    EFIN.

    Do you get the same error when you try to add the network adapter by using the command line?

  • Cannot add second child to StackPane several times

    Hello

    I have a StackPane table, which is filled with two ImageViews. First ImageView is a single image, second ImageView is the same for each StackPane:
           StackPane[] cards = new StackPane[gisView.length];
            for (int i = 0; i < cards.length; i++) {
                cards[i] = new StackPane();
                System.out.println(cards.getChildren().add(gisView[i]));
    System.out.println(cards[i].getChildren().add(topCard));
    System.out.println(cards[i].isManaged());
    System.out.println(cards[i].getChildren());
    }


    The problem is, that the second ImageView - topCard, is added only to first/last StackPane even I added it to every StackPane in cards.
    - both add() methods return true, as well as isManaged() method.
    - addAll(E...) doesn't work either even it returns true too.
    - I checked the errorProperty for every Image and there's no problem with loading the images.
    - both ImageViews do get added to StackPane inside the for loop, but there's only one ImageView in StackPane outside the for loop.

    I hope it's some trivial issue that I just can't spot.
