Cannot add vSphere ESX server in Cluster 4

• Add new ESX Server Cluster

  Just a quick question, I installed ESX 3.5 on a new server X 4200 and you want to add the new node to the cluster in our production environment.

  Is it just a case of click with the right button on the cluster Server VIrtual Center and selecting "add host" and then passing by the guests of the wizard? I've never done this before, but it seems that it is very simple.

  Am I missing something and I need to know?

  Thank you

  If you have your new esx Server in the inventory just drag and drop it to your cluster. If you do not add the esx server to your inventory list you can right click on the cluster and just add the esx server there.

  If you want to set this for VCA ESX Server you must disable all the virtual machine on the ESX Server. otherwise, you can add the ESX with virtual machines for your cluster.

  Thank you

• Move VMS between server ESXi and vSphere ESX server

  Dear all,

  I want to move some a vSphere ESX server virtual machines to ESXi server.

  I understand that some users will use CPS to move between the ESX servers, but apparently not for moving between different products.

  I'm just using a slow and prone to error method:

  The files of the virtual machine to my deskop PC of vSphere ESX server and then upload to the ESXi server.

  I would advise you to please all of the methods that is better than this one?

  Help, please.

  Kind regards

  Tommy

  If you got a central storage you can move virtual machines between the two products with vMotion. Since you don't seem to have available vMotion, you pouvez use scp. SCP has nothing to do with ESX/ESXi products. It is a Linux/Unix program which is available in both servers.

  So with the CPS, you need a little less.

  The syntax is like:

  SCP - r/path/to/vm/directory user@esxi:/path/to/new/location

• How do I know the thrue VSphere ESX Server?

  Hi all!

  I have an ESX 4 server. I can connect with Putty, but the web server is not configured.

  The ESX seem to be connected to a server for VSphere.

  Is it possible, through a connection of PuTTY, to know the name or IP address of the server BSphere?

  Olivier

  I guess when you say vSphere Server, actually talk you to vSphere vCenter that vSphere is simply the family name composed of 4th generation of vCenter and ESX (i) products, etc.

  Anywho, yes it is possible, there are probably a few ways to do this (via newspapers, etc.)

  And here are two:

  (1) using the Console of Service of ESX classic

  Take a look at:

  /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg
  

  The result will be something like:

  A.B.C.D # ESX Service Console IP
  E.F.G.H # vCenter IP
  

  (2) using the API vSphere ESX or ESXi

  If you know how to use the API or managed object browser, there is a property that is ONLY defined if the host ESX (i) is managed by vCenter server defined by managementServerIp http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.host.Summary.html

  As we mentioned above, you can see newspapers go or vpxa so that should also have address discovery.

• Cannot ping my esx Server

  Hi all

  I hope you can help, this problem has been driving me crazy for some Richard now!

  Firstly a bit of history... We have a Compaq ML760 running esx 3.0.1 attached to 2 SCSI disk bays. On weekends, this system was powered down by our partners to outsource in replacement of the ups in the rack. When turning the power on it we lost communication with the inverter boards... a new case, few new readers and reconstruction of the RAID the latter we have an ESX that starts in the log on screen with no obvious errors.

  So, the problem is that since we cannot ping or connect to any other way of our ESX Server. Now, before that I have to go any further in my opinion, it is worth noting that I'm not an expert of linux/esx I know enough to login as root and run a few commands.

  I have read several discussions around this issue and none seem to apply to my situation. Not only did I not ping my ESX, when I log into the ESX I can't ping any device, even the entry door. I had a quick glance at the configuration (should not have changed during the upgrade of the UPS!) and everything looks ok to me, feel free to correct me, the info is here:! esxcfg-NICS. JPG!

  

  

  any ideas would be appreciated!

  Thanks in advance,

  Adam

  Adam - I had a very similar problem in my test once environment. Everything was going well, all settings have been properly etc... but no connectivity ntwk. I had to remove my network config and rebuild. You can try just a little at a time to see if it works. Try to create a new vSwitch, move your top Service Console and assign a network adapter with the appropriate vlan information. See if it works then. That should give you an idea if there is a kind of corruption with the current configuration of ntwk.

  This site will give you all the commands necessary to accomplish these tasks:

• Cannot add host esx VC2.5

  Hi all

  I'm having a problem to add the new host of esx 3.5 U3 to VC2.5. The VC and esx server are the new facility. They both connect to the same subnet.

  The Victoria Cross error message is "impossible to install the virtualcenter agent service".

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Take a look at this.

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/4223326

  If this does not help then you will have to manually copy this vpxa strenuous VC server to ESX Server and install it.

  Thank you

• Cannot add the Essbase server in the EAS of my system

  Hello
  I have the admin rights, but I'm not able to add the Essbase server in my EAS.
  I have connection EA using the Internet link and after that I have added the Essbase server, but even after adding and the updating of the Essbase server list, I am unable to see the Essbase Server
  When I do the similar steps in another system, it works.
  
  Can is it you guys please let me know what is the solution for this.

  You probably use JRE 1.6 instead of 1.5. I had the same problem and this fixed it.

  There was a post yesterday about it:

• 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 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.

• Error: "cannot add clean access server."

  I am trying to add a server, but I get the above error.

  The error log says "own supported has been reached maximum limit for access servers", but I have no server defined CASES.

  You get the license keys for each of your servers, and then manually add them to the Manager before attempting to add the servers. I had the same problem myself. It is not very intuitive.

• Cannot add vCenter, error 'server not verified certificates chain '.

  Hello

  After the upgrade to VCO 5.5.1 I can't add a vCenter which was previously registered reports the following error:

  Error

  Impossible to register or upgrade to vCenter server extension

  com.vmware.vim.vmomi.client.exception.SslException: com.vmware.vim.vmomi.core.exception.CertificateValidationException: not verified server certificate chain

  I re-imported the cert of the Victoria Cross, but still no luck. I also license server failed and had to add manually. There is no restriction of firewall in place, so I don't know what else could happen. Any ideas appreciated. Thank you.

  We've been through this process with all 6 of our vCenters. It turns out that it was the only one with a problem. I suspect it's because the old length of cert has 512 MB, while the others, who were an installation vCenter fresh and not upgrades, created a cert 2K.

  Remove and then reinstall vCenter 5.5 only fixed the problem.

• 4.1 ESX Server thinks it is managed by VCenter, but is not

  An ESX 4.1.0 server (Standard edition) think it is managed by our server to VC, but it isn't.

  When connecting to the server with an ESX VSphere Client, I am greeted with the message:

  "This host is currently managed by the VCenter server... IP address.  It is not the case.

  I believe that the problem started in trying to add this ESX server 4.1.0 to our server VCenter 4.0.0

  This isn't a combination of supported, but the operation seems to have left the ESX with the VCenter Server Agent installed and configured server.

  I guess I'll upgrade our server VCenter 4.1 at a given time, but how to remove or correct the VC Server Agent on the host computer in the meantime?

  I see this suggestion: http://http://communities.vmware.com/message/707920#707920

  and cannot find this directory on the server VCenter, but what script to use is not clear.

  Thank you... Lyle

  Hi Lyle,

  Take a look at the following kb and try uninstalling vCenter Server Agent:

• migration of old an own vcenter vcenter ESX Server new database

  I built a new facility for vCenter update 2.5 4 using all the practices of better news. I want to migrate my workloads to a former prod vCenter 2.5 update 3. I don't want to use the database information... I'm at nine.

  I have install all the cluseters and permissions in vCenter update 4. What is the best way to move workloads is the question.

  can I remove the 2.5 ESX Server 3 cluster and add to the new 2.5 update 4?

  or

  I have to ESX server 2.5 vcenter update maintenance mode 3, remove cluseter, vmotion manually some of the workload, then remove the old vcenter and add in new vcenter?

  Ideas or suggestions appreciated and bridges will be awarded!

  Right-click on one or several hosts, choose Disconnect and then delete.  Once removed from the earlier proceeding, click Add hosts to the new instance.

• Difference between vCenter server and ESX server

  Hello

  I'm new to the development of VMware. Can you please explain me how ESX server differs from the VirtualCenter Server?

  According to my knowledge, ESX server is the one on which the real images are created and deployed while VirtualCenter manages ESX (one at a time) servers. ability to manage multiple ESX servers, both 'vSphere' a.

  My understanding is correct. Kindly answer my question.

  ESX (later - ESX4) is a system of bare metal operating that you can install directly on your physical hardware. This is the hypervisor layer that helps you to run multiple virtual machines on a single piece of material. The heart of ESX is the VMkernel which does all the magic (resouce management VM.. .and much). Talk about vCenter (previously Center Virtual Server) is a management application that you can install on a separate physical computer (you can even have a virtual vCenter). Once your vCenter is allowed, you can begin to manage the ESX servers.

  There are two ways to manage ESX. One is that you can directly connect to your ESX Server with root password and manage it. Otherwise, connect the server vCenter, add the ESX Server so that your vCenter it manages.

  vCenter resembles a management station from which you can manage your multiple ESX servers.
