• Cannot add to the inventory if virtual machine running on the other guests - iSCSI and VMFS5

  5.5 ESXi hosts free standalone version

  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.

• 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 to Vcenter

  I'm trying to add the host on my Vcenter with it gives me error

  "Add a host (name) cannot communicate with the specified host (10.32.xx.xx). The host may not be available on the network, a network configuration problem can exist, or management services

  This host can be unresponsive. »

  I'm not an expert of the Vm, can anyone help. Also I can ping the ESXi host and also connect to ESXi directly from the client Vspeher.

  Pls help.

  We had this same problem after one of our hosts, with the latest patches and updates.

  In our case, we had updated the host to 5.5 u3 before our VCenter Server Update.  Because our VCenter was an old building of 5.5 u1, we have seen our host until with VCenter updated.

  Hope this helps someone else with the same question.

• Cannot connect to the vcenter until 10 minutes after the vcenter server computer starts

  I get the unable to connect to remote server message in vsphere client when I try to connect the server vcenter. However if I wait more than 10 minutes, I can properly connect to the vcenter server.

  Is there something wrong with it?

  And I wonder if the competent services to process the requests of connection on the vcenter server are not started immediately from the start?

  Where is installed your database? On the same box of vCenter server? If so, change the other boot option that delayed may not work because your vCenter will try to start before the database is online.

• Cannot add to the target FPGA project

• 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.

• 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.

  I found this article that has the same symptoms as you.

• Cannot add to the MP3 download Site

  I am a real novice things Dreamweaver and tech - a writer of humor with a Web site. I learned enough it is up and running, change the content on a regular basis, etc. (it will not be won no prize design)...
  
  But I worked on a music project and I have a track ready to release into the world. So I wanted to put in simple download... saved to as an MP3 via iTunes... downloaded on my site... Then I went to the websites of others with music downloads, "given the code"... Ended it very simply use the link text, ala < a href >, which helps to establish links with the MP3 (which seems to work in other sites...)
  
  However... When I try this, I get the error 404 of shit code. I tried to add one of the basic codes 'target' in the link as well... Did not work.
  
  I'm confused, but have the idea that I'm missing something here and something quite simple...

  As I said, try the RAW DATA.

• 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.

  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

• 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.

• 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.
