• Cannot add cluster hosts

  I'm done with this...

  It started when I had to change my non routable IP addresses management network to my private IP addresses.  I kept getting errors with the host, not the new IP address.  I solved this problem, but now when I try to add the hosts again in my group, I get an error:

  "A general error has occurred: passwd: error immediate criticism-abandonment."  blah blah blah stack of error: "unable to set the account VIM on the host, could not set the password. It is possible that your password does not meet the criteria of complexity defined by the system. »

  It is ESXi 5.5u3, I tried the following:

  Remove the vpxa account, restarted host - same mistake

  Restart the services vpxa - same mistake

  Restart the vCenter - same mistake

  VI etc/pam.d/passwd: N0, N1, N2, N3, N4 - same mistake

  VI etc/pam.d/passwd: n0=-1,n1=-1,n2=-1,n3=-1,n4=-1--meme error

  Checked the system authentication, do not know what its supposed to look like, but both hosts match

  For the life of me, I can't understand it and Google has basically the same steps that I have just listed, I don't want to really blow the configuration and reinstall, but he is looking to get down to that... unless someone here knows where else the complexity of password or criteria for the system is set up...

  Fixed the problem myself... Thank you!!

  Action taken:

  Removed the vpxa account - I don't really think this has no effect on the issue

  Retirement services - did nothing until I've known really

  After coming home and watching my esxi, pam.d file hosts and comparing the differences, I just on a hunch deleted after /$ISA / pam_passwdqc.so, then re-entered the information as it was on my host at home.

  SSH in hosts:

  cd\ etc.

  PAM.d cd\

  passwd VI

  My hosts had /$ISA/pam_passwdqc.so retry = 3 min = disabled, disabled, disabled, disabled, 7.7

  My hosts at work had /$ISA/pam_passwdqc.so retry = N N0, N1, N2, N3, N4

  I edited the line to reflect the password of 14 characters required and the value of the retry N, so it looked like this

  /$ISA/pam_passwdqc.so retry = N min = disabled, disabled, disabled, disabled, disabled, 14

  : wq

  output

  Restart the services, actually I rebooted the host, then add in vCenter without problem

• ESXi hosts are divided into DRS cluster

  Hi all

  I'm going as well as I can explain it... In the case that I'm not being very clear, please not hesitate to ask me more questions.  Here is the scenerio:

  (1) I have a Blade IBM H chassis has 7 in there (host ESXi) servers

  (2) I have implemented a DRS cluster with these 7 Hosts

  (3) I have active VMotion and HA

  (4) the question is that 2,3 and 6 blades can only ping between them on the VMotion network and therefore can migrate to eachother

  (5) blades 1,4,5 and 7 only can ping each other and can therefore only VMotion for eachother.

  (6) this problem started to happen over the weekend, one day, and when we came back to work on Monday, we realized that the 3 hosts were not communicating on the network correctly.

  (7) one thing I noticed is when I unplugged all the DRS cluster hosts and then I connected to them again I realized that all guests were able to successfully connect to the Cluster but the hosts 2, 3 and 6 failed on the AP.  When I then reactivated the AP, he worked on these 3 guests.

  (8) due to this problem, I had remove the feature of DRS cluster because the system could not migrate the machines for guests.

  (9) one last thing I noticed was that when I VMotion, the machine I have VMotion loses network connectivity.  I must go to the publishing settings and disable the NETWORK adapter and re-enable the NETWORK card

  I hope someone can help with this problem

  Thank you all,.

  Basically, the spanning tree Protocol is used to avoid loops in a bridged network. Please take a look at for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanning_tree_protocol for details on how it works.

  However, the individual switch ports that serve as uplinks for ESXi must be configured for Spanning-tree portfast.

• How to give permission to my host that they cannot delete files but can create and modify files?

  assuming that I have 5 pc as my host, I want that they cannot delete all files, but can create a file or a folder and can change?

  Any version of Windows supports this type of file access and logging.  You may be able to find a third-party program that can but I highly doubt it.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  Delete the existing Partitions during the process.

• Cannot add a host disconnected from a cluster

  Hi people,

  I have a very strange problem - 1 my cluster host is always shown as disconnected. When I connect it manually, it is coonected, begins to configure HA and after that which is disconnected again.

  Deactivation of HA - same problem. He remains connected seconds (up to a minute) and then again once disconnected.

  You have any ideas?

• Moving hosts between active EVC clusters (going from 4.1 to 5.5)

  Hi all

  This is my first post here on communities and I hope it will be a great moment

  Currently, we are running a cluster of production unique (4.1U3a vCenter) made 10 IBM x 3850 X 5 hosts where:

  • 5 guests have X 7560 Intel processors (ESXi 4.1U3)
  • 5 guests have CPUs of E7 - 8837 Intel (ESXi 4.1U3)

  Cluster is active EVC: Nehalem Genesis (Xeon Core i7)

  He must now leave whole cluster existing 4.1U3a vCenter for a new vCenter 5.5U1 constantly of the VMs system (we cannot touch/upgrading old vCenter). Is it not possible? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I want to do this way:

  1. Disable HA and DRS on 4.1U3a Cluster (let such VCA what)
  2. Disconnect the 4.1U3a Cluster hosts (a)
  3. Once that all hosts are disconnected remove hosts in the cluster 4.1U3a (one)
  4. Create new Cluster on 5.5U1 vCenter
  5. Select CVS on the new Cluster 5.5U1 vCenter (and set it to Nehalem Genesis (Xeon Core i7), as was the old 4.1U3a vCenter)
  6. Add a host 5.5U1 vCenter, off the new cluster (on the level of data center)
  7. Move newly added welcome the new active EVC Cluster to vCenter 5.5U1
  8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for all remaining hosts
  9. Turn on HA and DRS on the new Cluster on 5.5U1 vCenter
  10. Test of vMotion and to each ESXi (and pray it works)

  This plan could work? I was testing this on the lab environment and all seems OK, but I'm afraid I missed something. As far as I understand CVS it should work as long as I'm not power cycle all VM during the hosts 'move '.

  Thank you all for your help.

  Normally you can not add directly to a cluster as when you import the host to vCenter he does not see as having enabled EVC and is safe.  I was wondering for the sake of ease, not want you back up the database from the old server and put this backup on the new and just update?  It may contain some old information, you may not, but that would mean that your hosts basically would come immediately upward in the cluster without having to do all that extra work.  Also do not go to the 5.5 Update 1 if you use NFS.

• ESX ESX 4-3 in a cluster host

  Hi, I have a problem with vSphere.  I have 3 4u2 ESX hosts in a cluster.  I have the DRS and vmotion active.  They connect to the San and see each data store that is configured.  I need is no longer a data store.  I removed the SAN LUNS first before removing hosts.  Now when I try to delete the host data store, it complains with the following error:

• How to remove Cluster hosts in vCenter

  We have a VMware vCenter 5.5 license that is about to expire, and while we re-new the vCenter license, I have to take all the VMS that are associated with a group called:

  Orlando (site) > staging (cluster) > 10.1.1.13 (home) > testbox1 (vm)

  I need to remove the (host) (cluster) above. I can do this by typing "Mode of Maintenance", which then moves the (vm) to another host in the staging (cluster). Problem is when I go out "Maintenance Mode", (pole) is placed in staging and the virtual computer is moved to the staging (cluster) > 10.1.1.13 (host). This is NOT what I want. I want to delete all hosts in staging (clutser) independently in vCenter before my vCenter license expires.

  Can anyone please explain or help me do this?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Carlos,

  Hope that you use the web client.

  Basically, the question is, you must remove a host in a cluster have DRS and HA.  To remove a HOST

  Put the HOST in maintenance mode - > check all VM's was able to move to another HOST, then right-click and disconnect, finally right click and delete.

  If you need to keep the virtual machine to the same physical host and you have properly configured a standard switch.

  Click with the right button on the cluster and DRS recommendation opt for manual. maintenance mode, then right click and then disconnect, finally just right-click and delete.

  hope this helps you.

• Cannot use 'lab1' host because the host CPU is not compatible with the judgment of the virtual machine suspend state.

  I see that this error was mailed here, but can't seem to find a position with a resolution.

  We use Lab Manager 4.0.4 and just upgraded the hosts in our laboratory.  Before updating to ESXi 4.1 ESX 4.0 u1, we cancelled all VMs in all configurations.  There is none who were suspended, they were all turned off.  We have improved vcenter 4.0 to 4.1 as well.  We moved from a dell poweredge 1950 with two quad core intel L5410 to a r610 with two quad core intel processor E5506.

  When I try to turn on some of the lab configurations (our VM models all work fine), I get this error:

  • Cannot use 'lab1' host because the host CPU is not compatible with the judgment of the virtual machine suspend state.

  I threw the State for the lab configuration (even if it was turned off and cancelled) and still get this message.  I guess the processor architecture of these chips is quite similar, and both are Intel.

  If I go into this directory of Manager of laboratory inside the data store for one of these virtual machines that does not light and add to the inventory, he turned and starts fine on my server esxi 4.1.  So how do Lab Manager to get account it's well deploy and start it?

  Hey billk.

  Although not supported completely, you can solve it by going to the SQL of Lab Manager database.  Make sure that you back up your database before you do anything like that.

  Open the table "fsdir" and corresponds to the dir_id with the id Lab Manager VM.  Once you find the relevant line, change suspend_proctype_id to null (Zero-Ctrl).  You can do this while Lab Manager is still running.

  The results can be unstable (i.e. Windows can crash if it was a drastic change of CPU), but at least you look at a hard reset.  The bat reset certainly not being able to return to the previous state.

  Also note that while Lab Manager does not include CVS, if you activated, your virtual machines still work in CVS mode.  If you have a mixture of heterogenious of hosts in a cluster for Lab Manager, you can see this question pop up a lot.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with take back the virtual machine because of the VCA, but Lab Manager thinks otherwise and prevents it.

• Why the vsphere cluster hosts have yellow triangles?

  I created a cluster with two hosts vsphere vsphere 5 in vmware workstation 7 similar to this demo.  http://Vimeo.com/7560591

  Everything was going well until I created the cluster, active HA, DRS, etc.  Now, I have these yellow triangles on the hosts, but no alarms.  The general summary information are also all zeros.

  See attached picture.

  Has anyone any suggestions?
  

  No problem.  You can ignore them.  For the network, they see this - http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1004700.

• "Mem.Usage.Average" against the total aggregate of cluster host memory

  Please see the attachment for the whole story.

  Please give me a sanity check on this. I used the "Mem.Usage.Average" as a % against allocated VM MemoryMB. The sum of these calculations escaped by far the actual calculations of the vCenter % memory-based. So, I changed my calculations that you see in the worksheet to use the 'Mem.Usage.Average' against the total aggregate available on all hosts in the cluster. This amount came to less than 1% of my calculations based on vCenter GUI. Am I right against the total aggregate memory cluster host instead of against VM memory assigned using 'Mem.Usage.Average '? Thxs-

  

  SDK is not clear on "total configured memory available or". https://www.VMware.com/support/developer/converter-SDK/conv55_apireference/memory_counters.html Part description of memory used as a percentage of the total configured or available memory.

  
  

  $start = (get-Date). AddDays(-5)

  Get-cluster-location ActualClusterName | Get - VM | Where {$_.} PowerState - eq "Receptor"} @{N = "Mem.Usage.Average"; E = {[Math]: round ((($_ |))} Get-Stat - Stat mem.usage.average - start $start - $finish - IntervalMins 1800 - MaxSamples finishing (250) | Measure - Object - average value). Average), 2)}}"

  
  

  Cluster is 6 hosts with 128G per host for total of 768G (786432 MB of RAM), there are 118 powered on virtual machines

  
  

  
  

  for me the SDK says that percentage reflects the relationship between the memory 'active' in the virtual machine against the memory configured for the virtual machine.

  A configured with 8 GB of memory virtual computer that has 'use' of 25% is actively using 2 GB of memory.

  

  I think that your numbers you get for VMS are biased because of the great period of time during which you take the average (see previous answer).

  You can cross-check the mem.usage.average with the mem.active.average.

  In the following code, I calculate the different 2 meters actual memory used by the virtual machine.

  $clusterName = "mycluster.

  $stat = 'mem.usage.average ','mem.active.average '.

  $vm = get - Cluster - name $clusterName | Get - VM | where {$_.} PowerState - eq "Receptor"}

  $stats = get-Stat-entity $vm - Stat $stat - Realtime - MaxSamples 1

  $stats | Group-object - property {$_.} @entity.name} | %{

  [PSCustomObject] @ {}

  VM = $_. Group [0]. @entity.name

  MemoryMB = $_. Group [0]. Entity.MemoryMB

  MemUsagePerc = $_. Group | where {$_.} MetricId - eq "mem.usage.average"} | Select - ExpandProperty value

  MemUsageMB = [int]($_.) Group [0]. Entity.MemoryMB * ($_.) Group | where {$_.} MetricId - eq "mem.usage.average"}). Value) / 100

  MemActiveMB = ($_.) Group | where {$_.} MetricId - eq "mem.active.average"} | Select - ExpandProperty Value) / 1 KB

  }

  }

  The result shows a specific virtual machine, these two numbers are close enough to be considered the same imho.

  That they should be in fact, the mem.usage.average is derived from the mem.active.average.

  

• Cannot delete the ghost volume

  NAA.6006016003c02800dc0bc7f0b6f0e311 is a fibre channel LUN of our VNX5500 presented to our 5.1U2 7 vSphere hosts.  He is identified as LUN 0 seen through the vSphere on all 7 host one Client is an empty data store.

  When I remove the data store and detach the LUN it greys out as expected.  I'll then the the VNX and only remove LUNS from the storage pool, which in turn deletes it hosts during a whole 'Rescan '.

  Naa.6006016003c02800dc0bc7f0b6f0e311 of time disappears, a new LUN 0 naa.50060160bde00e5850060160bde00e58 appears and there is no size related and there is no new data store.  If I choose 'Storage to add' this 'Phantom' volume is not available and I can take it apart and put it together, but there is nothing there and it is not really related to any real storage.  It's just a ghost LUNS in vSphere.

  If I add the real naa.600... LUN to the storage pool, naa.500 disappears and LUN 0 reflects correctly again with naa.600... identifier.  I remove again and LUN 0 becomes naa.500... identifier again.

  I want two-pass, but I can't get rid of naa.500... little matter what I try.

  In the game there is no DTS or SIOC.

  I restarted management, but also a restart services.sh officers when none of those who have worked I reloaded 1 host but it has not yet remove the ghost LUNS.

  I did all the tricks of esxcli I can find related to the deletion of volumes.  More funny thing is when I run the command to take it apart, put on 'off' etc, the gray naa.500 of volume in the customer and orders are successful.  Then I run the actual delete command and it is running successfully within the CLI, but if you look at the GUI, naa.500... which was gray becomes active (not grayed out) within a period of a few seconds after the removal of the CLI.

  Whack how?

  I suspect it's something behind of a volume that no longer exists and probably did not exist for a long time, but who was not properly removed when he was abducted.

  Someone has suggestions for how to get rid of this volume mysterious ghost?

  It is by design with multiple EMC storage systems. Unless you present a LUN with a 0 host ID, you will see the LUN of 'management' (which is not a disk device) as LUN 0 on the host.
