Cannot Connect to Host ESXi 4.1 with browser or Client VI

Hi, I have a strange problem which has persisted since I first installed ESXi 4.1 on a server. First my setup:

• ESXi Installable on a HP DL380 G6 server, 32 GB of RAM, 4xEmbedded NETWORK ports, Port NIC, 2 iSCSI x QLogic QLE4060C HBAs 1xDual adapter

• HBAs configured for Jumbo and static IP frames but except that all the settings are default

We have installed ESXi 4.1 with only the built-in port #1 connected to the switch. Everything went well and we were allocated the only active NIC (vmnic0) as the management interface. Once installation is complete, we were able to connect to the management interface using a browser and the VI client.

We then connected NETWORK card and remaining HBA ports to the switch without loss of connectivity to the management interface. During our next restart we could no longer connect directly to the host using a browser or the VI client but could still ping the IP.

We tried to restart the management agents, but it did not help.

Here are the different startup scenarios, we tested and the results:

Scenario #1 - Boot with built-in NICs, DP adapter cards, network and HBAs connected to the switch.

• Can we ping the IP of host of Mgmt? = Yes

Can • we consult to the IP host of Mgmt or connect using the VI Client? = NO

Even if we try to unplug the adapter DP and HBA ports after starting we still cannot connect to the management using the Explorer or the VI Client interface. A reboot is required, and the script #2 or #3 must be followed.

Scenario #2 - start with only the embedded and DP adapter NIC connected to the switch.

• Can we ping the IP of host of Mgmt? = Yes

Can • we consult to the IP host of Mgmt or connect using the VI Client? = NO

If disconnect us the two ports of adapter DP we can then connect to the host via the browser or the VI client without having to restart. We can reconnect them and we continue to have access to the host, and everything is fine.

Scenario n ° 3 -Boot with only the NIC integrated, including the Mgmt NIC connected to the switch.

• Can we ping the IP of host of Mgmt? = Yes

Can • we consult to the IP host of Mgmt or connect using the VI Client? = Yes

Then we connected the DP adapter and the adapter port HBAS to the switch and all the connectivity was very good. This scenario is our solution for now.

Other information

The QLE6xxx ESXi module takes about 5 minutes to load during startup, when the HBAs are connected to the switch, but it loads successfully. Not sure if this is normal or not.

Thank you in advance for your help!

This looks like a very unusual network for me configuration.

Could you post a screenshot of virtual network configuration and add a few comments on the different configuration of the vSwitches and uplink connected.

If I understand correctly that you have at least 3 vSwitches (management, virtual machines, and iSCSI), however, from what you wrote so far I do not completely understand how implement you.

  • Cannot connect to the ESXi 5.5 with VSphere client

    I have a new Dell server. I installed ESXi 5.5. I can ping and SSH in the host, but I can not connect with the vsphere client. I captured the vmkernel and host agent log management. I'm confused now as to what is the cause. I installed ESXi 5.5 on an SD card in the server. And like I said I can ping and SSH in the host.

    OK, I found that it was associated with MTU, MTU under voltage has been set at 1500. These are Dell switches if it matters. I removed the MTU setting for the management ports and then I was able to connect to vsphere with no problems.

  • Restart host ESXi 4.0 with vCenter 4.0 as a virtual machine

    I have two hosts ESXi 4.0:

    1. the host 1 has vCenter 4.0 installed as a virtual machine with a VMware data recovery VM and some other virtual machines.

    2 host 2 has a number of virtual machines.

    I want to restart the first host and level to ESXi 4.0 Update 1 - I won't stop VMs on host 2, and I want to improve it yet.

    My plan is to stop all VMs on host 1 letting the vCenter VM until the last. I have then place my host in maintenance mode and run the host update application to install the update which will then require a restart of course. Once restarted, I'll connect to host 1 directly by using the vSphere client and restart the VM vCenter. I will then restart all my other virtual machines.

    Is this sound OK? VCenter will restart Fortunately?

    You can also power off the vCenter, register on the other (ESX) If you have the shared storage and try again.

    Be sure only to say I_moved about the question that appear when you turn on the virtual computer.

  • Windows cannot connect to the printer operation failed with error 0x0000007e

    Hello

    OS: Windows 7 x 86 SP1

    Print server: Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 x 86

    Printer: HP LaserJet 8150 printer shared and listed in the directory

    Problem:

    When I try to install the printer in the Add Printer Wizard, choose install a network printer, she finds a driver on the server, installs, then brings up an error (see topic).

    In the Print Service logs, I see the following:

    "The print spooler failed to load a plug-in module, 0x7e error code. See the user context information for event data.

    I can install the printer very well if I choose local printer, new port, TCP/IP, and enter the IP address. This isn't a solution, as users cannot be expected to go through this process, or for me to go around all the machines and do it manually. More I want than the print jobs to the print server's spool, and I think that the local installation method uses the local spooler.

    I tried to install the driver of HP UPD PCL 6, x 86 and x 64, on the print server.

    When I check what the client machine pilot chose to install by going to the properties of the print server, I can see that he chooses the former driver "HP LaserJet 8150 Series PCL 6". I presume that it is incompatible with Windows 7, that's why I am getting the error cannot connect.

    How can I get Windows 7 clients to use the UPD?

    I left our Windows 2003 print server to a Server 2008 and comes to install the HP UPD x 86 and x 64 for each printer. Now everything works perfectly! All XP and 7 customers can install printers network without problem.

    I suspect that the problem was due to have many different versions of drivers on the old print server, and customers did not know which to use?

  • Connect two VSphere ESXi 5.0 with crossover cable

    Hi all! A newbie in the ESXi 5.0

    I configured both servers of VSphere ESXi 5.0 with two network adapters on each server, the first NETWORK card acts as a virtual Internet switch, and the other NETWORK adapter serves only the link of communication (Heartbeat) between two VSphere Esxi 5.0 using crossover cable.

    My question is, how can I create such change in VSphere in a problem of communication between these 2 servers with a crossover cable? I would like to connect my (CentOS 6) VMs on each server via this network adapter with cable modem Simulator for the purposes of the communication of pulsation. I know how to create a normal vSwitch who can communicate with the Internet, but I have no idea how to create a switch for the NICs connected with a crossover cable.

    Please drop me a line if you know how.

    P.S. The idea to use the crossover cable rather than use the simple ethernet cable is the cable eliminates the overhead and to avoid the lack of packages due to the processing time of the switch.

    I know not how to create one with ordinary vSwitch to establish a connection with the Internet, but not this vSwitch with crossover cable.

    There is no difference. Build a vSwitch as your normally would, including the NETWORK card that is connected via a crossover as your uplink cable.

  • Cannot connect to the Site Manager in the browser

    Last month, I was able to connect to iTunes U in Safari and download a video, etc. Today, I can't. When I hit Enter, I'm simply expelled back to the login screen. I'm in the correct password, because if I get a bad, he told me that.

    This happens in Safari, Firefox and Chrome. I use Windows 7.

    Safari on Windows, right? It's interesting, because Apple supports more than centuries ago.

    I recommend that you upgrade to the latest versions of Chrome and Firefox, make sure that you have applied all the Windows security updates available, and then try again. If you don't always connect, what do you see in the browser console? (To open the console of Firefox, go to the Tools menu, the submenu "Web Developer", then select "Web Console").

  • Unable to connect to new ESXi 5.5 with vSphere Client hosts

    Completed the new installation of ESXi 5.5 on two new Dell PowerEdge servers last night.

    Trying to connect to them through the vSphere client fails.

    I can ping both servers without any problems from the server where the vSphere client is installed (it is not a domain controller but a Windows 2003 server - it has not .net 3.5 SP1 is installed).

    If I try to open the IP address of the host in a web browser http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx expires, however, if I try http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:902 It connects to the server, but rather than get the web page, I'm used to waiting with 5.1 I get this message:

    "220 VMware authentication daemon Version 1.10: required SSL, ServerDaemonProtocol:SOAP, MKSDisplayProtocol:VNC, VMXARGS taken in charge, taken NFCSSL in charge." I get this exact message even though I have telnet to port 902.  So I know that I can speak to the host, but have no idea why I can't connect to it or they have the tools to display in a web browser. »

    Try to use the same IP address with port 902 in the vSphere client to connect, I get this error:

    vSphere Client could not connect to "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx".

    A unknown connection error has occurred. (The client received an invalid response from the server. (The server committed a protocol violation. Article = ResponseStatusLine))

    I noticed that there was a lag of 2 hours and 4 minutes between the host server and the client's server.  I have reset the time to match up in the BIOS of the host server.  The test gave the same results.

    Probably unrelated, but throw it out there in case it points to an answer, when executing the "Test management network", ping passes to the default gateway and the DNS server secondary (which is Google 8.8.8.8) but fails for the main DNS (local IP) server and host name resolution is faulty.

    Ideas, help or solution would be much appreciated.  I need to get the network to this customer virtualized this week, and I would prefer not to have to go back to 5.1 if possible.

    Thank you

    This is resolved.

    And it's one of those things that you just kick yourself for.

    I tried this on two servers, Server 2003 and using IE8

    Tested a theory using a VPN to my laptop Windows 8 IE 10 and it has worked perfectly, then tested on a Server 2008 R2 using IE9 and it worked perfectly.

    Installed Chrome on the two Server 2003 servers and worked perfectly.

    So in the end it was IE8 that was not compatible and all the problems at the origin!

    Thanks again to you Andrew for trying to help!

  • VirtualCenter (2.5-4 ESXi): Could not connect to host "unable to communicate with the specified host.

    Reading this article (http://communities.vmware.com/thread/173890), I'm having a similar problem with VCentre 2.5 connection to ESXi 4 guests, but this article uses commands that don't work with my version of ESX (e.g. rpm - qa | grep vpxa, produced "not found RPM). In addition, article following (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1003714) does not the commands I should use. Any ideas what command can I use it please?

    Baseliner - you must upgrade VC first and foremost, when you run the upgrade to ESX 4.

    vSphere will support older ESX host, but 2.5 does not support ESX 4.0.

    Take a look at the upgrade guide:

    Good luck.

  • Cannot connect to the ESXi 4.1 after charges of the hypervisor

    Well that's to say my NIC will Dim.

    The Bios of the host has not changed.

    The last change I made was of the NIC through vSphere.

    I have triede change to 1000 and I unchecked Wake on Lan.

    So I think I must have misread something and now the NETWORK card falls asleep after loading of ESXi.  Does this make any sense?

    I know that the NETWORK card is correct, because as I sit here far flashing on the router with basically off the server.

    Help?

    If everything works as designed, the installation should wipe only installation disk (your USB key), so you will find yourself with a new installation of the hypervisor and the VMFS data store preserved on the other disks. You must then configure the network, NTP,... and add the virtual machine to the inventory by clicking with the right button on the vmx files in the data store Navigator.

  • Cannot connect a designer Bluetooth keyboard Windows with my Mac?

    Hello world! I just bought a Windows Designer Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to use with my Macbook Pro 13 inch, purchased mid-2012. Perfectly pairs mouse but the keyboard never seems to connect! I have installed El Capitan. I see the keyboard listed in the Bluetooth devices window, then I click on the button in hand. It asks me to put in the passcode and when I do it says connected for a few minutes but keeps turning the little wheel beside the device and it will never really connect! I tried again and again! There, can anyone help?

    According to Microsoft, the keyboard has limited functionality with Mac OS 10. apparently there is a button by battery only if held pressed for more than 3 seconds puts the keyboard in mode coupling, if not under bluetooth, see if you can remove it as a favorite and try again
