• How to check the NUMA on ESXi host node

  Dear team,

  I have cisco ucs Server Blade configuration below b - 200 m3. I want to know how to check the NUMA on ESXi host node.

  Mr. VMware

  Unfortunately, it seems THAT NUMA is disabled hardware wise. You can only activate it via the BIOS setting.

• Change the password on a host

  Hello

  I just added a new host for my vCenter and it had the default password. I noticed a warning icon, and I don't see anywhere on vCenter to allow me to change the password. I know that sounds obvious, but surely vCenter will allow me to change the password on a host - have I missed an obvious option in the menu somewhere or I have to delete the host to vCenter and Add again once I changed it from the console?

  You cannot change passwords for ESX for vCenter. You must open a session to the ESX directly using the vSphere Client and change. All users passwords can be changed when the host is connected to the vCenetr without problem - just the vpxuser is not editable (the vCenter user uses to connect to the ESX host and have a random password that is stored on the database of vCenter).

• Changing the configuration of DNS host ESXi

  Hello

  I need to update the DNS servers on our new servers wih ESXi hosts. replace the current two entries with two new IP addresses. I intend to do that via vCenter to host-> DNS and routing Configuration. What I have to restart the management network or ESXi host after making this change to avoid that it comes into force? The documentation seems to indicate that it does not require either:

  http://pubs.VMware.com/vSphere-4-ESXi-installable-vCenter/topic/com.VMware.vSphere.esxi_server_config.doc_41/esx_server_config/advanced_networking/t_change_the_dns_and_routing_configuration.html

  Does anyone have experience to make this change? You recommended placing the host in Maintenance Mode, first and move the virtual machines it would be?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Thanks for the reply. Once I made the change is a way to confirm that the ESXi host actually uses the new correct DNS server?

  Nslookup should help you identify what DNS server is used

  Type nslookup hostname or ip

  [root@esx-server-1 /] # nslookup 192.168.0.5
  Server: 192.168.0.7
  Address: 192.168.0.7 #53

  name 5.0.168.192.in - addr.arpa = esx-Server - 2.domain.com.

  Is it OK to make the change with direct VM on the host?

  Yes

  See you soon

• How can I change the license to another host?

  Hello

  I am replacing a host, but cannot change the license to the new host.

  The ability to change the license on the vCenter (administration, licenses, manage vsphere licenses) appears dimmed (unavailable).

  All the licenses that I own are associated with former guests. I can't add new hosts because all licenses associated with the former hosts. I removed the host the vCenter, but the license is always affected.

  How can I change the license of a former host (which no longer use) by the new host?

  Thank you!

  As mentioned earlier, it should actually take a few minutes, so with the two days, you've already waited, there seems to be something wrong. Please take a look at KB VMware: vCenter Server 6.0 incorrectly states the amount of licenses in use by the ESXi host to see if this helps you to identify/solve the problem. In the case where you don't consider opening a case of pension with VMware.

• Change the IP address of host turned off...

  Hello

  I need to change the IP address of a host off the power.  I intend to connect a monitor and keyboard directly to the host and just change the IP address of the HOST vmware console.

  However how warn correctly my server vCenter on the host IP change without losing all the configuration changes and VMs... ?

  Thanks for the comments on this

  concerning the Tor

  If you are uncomfortable in SQL, you can change the dbo. Table VPX_HOST in vCenter to change the IPAddress field for what you want.

  Otherwise, turn on the host with the new IP address. Then vcenter, trying to reconnect (which will fail), after which you will be prompted to enter the username root and password to connect to the host. You can then use the new IP address.

  In addition, even without DNS, you can edit the file hosts on the vCenter server and use host names for servers to go forward in order to avoid this complication. Much simpler to edit a hosts file.

  Edit: Just for fun, I changed the IP address on a host laboratory while he was online and connected to vCenter, wherein he disconnected and then reconnected with the correct IP address. So, I guess it works too

• Update DNS on the 5.1 ESXi hosts

  I have a cluster with 8 hosts where 6 I have DNS and NTP settings of a legacy domain and 2 current settings.  Existing domain controllers are still in place and there is trust between the two.  I would like to change the hosts so that they use all current DNS and NTP servers.  The directory services for all hosts is set to local authentication so that they are not included in the AD.  What is the impact of changing these settings?  What are the steps to follow?  It is also easy to put hosts with parameters inherited in maintenance mode, made the change, and then bring them back to maintenance mode?

  The steps that I ended up taking have been:

  -added a records in DNS

  -put the host in maintenance (always do before making changes) mode

  -remove the vCenter

  -connect directly to host and make changes

  -Add the host to vCenter

  Everything is in place and no problem.

• VM starts not directly from the CDROM drive ESXi host

  Hello. I was looking for a long time another discussion for people who have had the same problem, I found it but the answers that the candidates are not useful for me. I explain my problem giving you as much information as I can.

  I have created a virtual machine in order to intall inside Windows Server 2K 3. The problem is that I can't make the start of the VM from the CD I put in the ESXi host CDROM drive. I installed ESXi 3.5 U4. For the virtual CD/DVD Drive 1 (only in the virtual machine), I chose "Host device" as the device Type.  The only option, it's for me inside this option is ' / vmfs/devices/genide / vmhba0:0:0.» The message I get in the console view is "Not found operating system"

  Storage adapters I in the ESXi host are: LSI1068E - & gt; vmhba2 where I see my RAID1 disk1. The other device is ICH10 4 port SATA IDE Controller - & gt; vmhba0 where I see the physical CDROM Drive.  I also have another device that is "USB Storage Controller" - & gt; vmhba32 where I also see the CDROM (but when I create the virtual machine does not allow me to choose this controller, vmhba32:0:0). This controller is a "SCSI" where alumni are "Block SCSI".

  I have also checked the box "connect to power on" in the settings of VM window. The CD booteable because unless I restart the ESXi host and I do boot from the CDROM it loads the Windows Setup program. Thus, the CD is OK and the CD-ROM drive is also OK.

  I don't know what to do and what to test. If I choose to boot the client machine, the virtual machine option starts ok. The problem is that I need to transfer all the contents of the CD by the network and right now I am using an ADSL connection.

  The server I have is IBM System x 3650 M2, which is compatible with ESXi 3.5 U4.

  I know I have another option is to boot from and ISO image. Here, I have a few questions. First of all, how to download the ISO to the ESXi host image? Do I have to use the RCLI? Secondly, I want to make sure that only a problem of booting from the CDROM or the problem is maybe the ESXi of CDROM drive is not recognized by ESXi, so I'll never be able to use it.

  Advanced averybody thanks.

  The discussion has been moved to the VI: forum ESXi 3.5.  It seems to be the case, but could check you that ESXi is load the IDE driver for the ICH10 controller?  This mode is the controller of the value in the BIOS?

• Assess the VC with ESXi hosts

  Hello

  I have a number of ESXi hosts and want to evaluate VC and all the features of business with our existing ESXi hosts.

  In the documentation for the assessment of the VC2.5, it states that once installed VC and ESX3.5 no license requirements for the first 60 days and that all VI3 functions will be available during this period.

  It does not refer to ESXi and how these hosts must be configured (license config) for use with VC and all features, Vmotion, HA, DRS etc.

  My understanding is that ESXi hosts should be configured with the database server licenses to allow them to participate in the assessment, as features such as vmotion, etc. require VC/license server bases. Obviously if I was evaluating ESX3.5 then no config would be necessary because it also allows all the features for the first 60 days. ESXi is however not evaluated and thus does not give access to the full functionality for 60 days.

  How should the environment be configured to allow the use of CR 60 days eval with ESXi hosts using all the features - vmotion, HA and DRS.

  Please can someone explain this for me?

  Even when assessing the VC, you need to install a license server is placed just in evaluation mode - this is the server licenses as dolse on DBS licenses, HA and vMotion.

• Can I know VM uses what the basic to ESXi host physical?

  Hello world

  In Linux environment, I can use ps o ESP to find process using what core (cpu) at the time.

  for example, the output below, I've known 3067 PID using 3 core (cpu 3) and PID 3091 use core 2 (2 cpu)

  EXAMPLE OF
  [root@linux ~] # ps PID TTY TIME CMD 3067 pts/0 00:00:00 bash 3086 pts/0 00:00:00 ps [root@linux ~] # ps pid tty time cmd, psr o PID TT TIME CMD ESP 3067 pts/0 00:00:00 bash 3 3091 pts/0 00:00:00 ps pid tty time cmd, psr o 2 [root@linux ~] #.

  How can I do this on ESXi? Is this possible?

  Thanks for your reading.

  Any advice is welcome.

  To generate output for certain processes and maintain a title line, run the command:

  Run $ ch

  then

  $ps-Tcjstv | egrep ' WID '. proc {name} ".

  or try

  $ps

  $ps-Tcjstv

  use $esxtop to get cpu, pcpu details

• Change the configuration of DNS host file SCAN

  We have a 2-node rac configuration on our machine. When it was created first, use host file to set the IP name and scan scan because our DNS is not yet ready.

  The DNS is now ready, and when we do nslookup, we are able to see the name of scan & IP.

  How can we migrate the scan configuration to use DNS? Will be just comment on our values of host works file?

  Thank you

  In the case of linux, it is necessary to:

  1. set your DNS servers in/etc/resolve or the NETWORK card configuration file.

  2. check name resolution.

  3. definitions of SCAN comment in the hosts file.

• The upgrade to ESXi host that hosts vCenter comments

  Recently, we moved our vCenter Server in a virtual machine rather than running on a dedicated machine.

  A question I have for those running in this type of configuration are how do you for the upgrade of the host as comments from vCenter runs (for example ESXi 5.0 > 5.1)? We usually use Update Manager to perform the upgrade, so I was wondering if there is just more to use the old method of mode start since the level of the server installation CD or if there is another special way Im unaware of.

  Thanks in advance!

  If you have shared storage, you can connect to the host where you vCenter VM is registered, it off, remove the inventory, disconnect from the host, log in another host, browse the data store, add the vCenter VM inventory on the other host, turn on the vCenter VM and then you can remidate the other host using the virtual machine.

• Change the MTU on ESX host?

  Hi all

  We moved our ESX hosts on a network where the MTU should be 1400.

  Can anyone validate commands to use to make this change for me?

  I do both esxcfg-vswitch vSwitch0 m and ifconfig vswif0 mtu 1400 1400?

  Is also a restart of the network necessary for this take effect?

  Anything else I need to do?

  Thank you.

  all you need to do.

  esxcfg-vswitch vSwitch0 -m 1400
  

  Why 1400?  The default value is 1500
