Change the vmnic used by the service console
Can someone help me change the vmic used by the concole service, when I write the command excfg, I get the message:
excfg-vswitch - L vminc0 vSwitch0 "segmentation fault".
Thanks to y using the year.
AFAIK vmnic0 is assigned by default to vSwitch0.
First, try it canceled with: esxcfg-vswitch - U vmnic0 vSwitch0
I use the procedure below to delete vSwitch0 and create a service named TSV - cos console switch.
esxcfg-vswif vswif0 d
esxcfg-vswitch - del - pg = "Service Console" vSwitch0
esxcfg-vswitch vSwitch0 d
esxcfg-vswitch - TSV - cos
esxcfg-vswitch - L vmnic0 TSV - cos
esxcfg-vswitch-add-pg = "Service Console" TSV - cos
esxcfg-vswif - a vswif0 Pei "Service Console"-i < ESXHOSTIP > - < ESXHOSTSUBNETMASK > n

Change the IP address of the Service Console
Hi, when I try to change the IP address and the address of the gateway to the Service Console NIC on the console, I always get this message:
!!! WARNING!
Loss of connectivity network may occur if the parameters not valid in
Add, remove, Portgroup or IP operations.
and nothing is changed. How is it possible to change the IP address of vswif?
I try with the command "esxcfg-vswif!
Thank you
Hello
There are two ways of CLI to chang the IP address of the service console.
Either remove the current vswif0 and recreate it using esxcfg-swif.
But as you must change the ip address of the service console, you can try e under method, change the entries in the file.
for the ip address and the mask of the service console, you can change the entries in the file below.
/ etc/sysconfig/network-scipts/ifcfg-vswif0
and for the gateway, host name using the file below
sysconfig
for the dns entries
/etc/resolv.conf
After all the changes, try to network service.
service network restart
Let me know if you need more information.

I am using oracle 11g express edition, how I can change the service name and the port number?
I am using oracle 11g express edition, how I can change the service name and the port number?
What do you mean by "port number"? HTTP port (usually 8080), or listening port (normally 1521)?
To change the name of the service, you can use (as a DBA or SYSDBA)
SQL > alter system set service_name = '

Hello
I wonder. Is there a command that I can run the service console that would allow me to copy a file from a network share on the data store on the esx host?
Eric
If sharing is a Windows, you can also use smbclient within the service console and ride sharing.

public network for virtual machines, private storage and the service console?
Hello
So far I had a pretty small facility with 2 servers with 4 physical network adapters each running ESX 3.5, a small box of EqualLogic SAN to shared storage and a few virtual machines on our network of regular reinforcement, routed, not on a private. The network config was really simple. I just put everything on real IP addresses on our network of building.
Now I want to move the SAN and the traffic on a private service console network, but I don't know how to do this.
Right now I use 2 NETWORK cards on each server:
vmnic0 is configured on vSwitch0 and has the network of the VM on it that all my use of VMS to talk to the outside world, and it also has the Service Console that uses Virtual Center and I use ssh to it.
vmnic1 is configured on vSwitch1 and a VMKernel Port and also a Service Console Port for iSCSI Software to talk to my SAN. (never been clear on why both are needed to talk to the SAN, but doctors say they are)
My plan is to set up a vSwitch2 and bind it to vmnic2 and implemented a VMKernel Port and the Service Console Port for software iSCSI on the 10.x.x.x network, set up my new (larger) SAN box on the 10.x.x.x network and simply use Storage vMotion to move virtual machines to the new storage space. As soon as I did this, I would like to not use the Service Console on vSwitch2 and not a Console Service at all on vSwitch0. Is it possible to delete the one on vSwitch0 and just use a new vSwitch2 for Virtual Center and ssh access?
So my proposed configuration would be:
vSwitch0: VM network only, used by the VM guests for oriented public access network, no construction of Network Service Console, linked to vmnic0
vSwitch1: superfluous once I do storage vMotion of everything on my old SAN, will eventually remove and pair vmnic 1 with vmnic0, linked to vmnic1
vSwitch2: VMKernel and Service Console on the network 10.x.x.x, used to access the new SAN, used by Virtual Center to access the ESX, used to SSH in to ESX on private network, associated vmnic2
If it works?
Thank you.
Hello
VMkernel ports cannot live on the same subnet. So if you have 3 vmkernel ports say: vMotion, iSCSI and NFS. You really need 3 subnets. 1 for each vmkernel port.
Otherwise how does he know all send properly?

Adding user to access the Service Console via Putty
Hi guys
I'm quite new to the world of Vmware, so please exuse me if I look trivial.
Basically, I want to create a user in order to access the service through PuTTY console.
I tried with the root , but it says access denied. I have read the forums and I know that I need to create a new user, and then get to KNOW, but could you please tell me how and where I can create this user as I can only find Permissions tab for ESX1 (our esx server). What I need to for this to the service console physially enter the sever room or can I create this user using one of my domain accounts for VIC 2.5
If I can do or could you please guide me further
Also is it possible to use the service of the VIC, if so how.
I would be very grateful if you could give me an answer for what I send the vizionsupport logs from the console using some of the linux (vmware controls), I think that I can do that by logging in on the ESX Server service console.
Concerning
Rucky
To add a newuser you would do the following in the console of the ESX host.
useradd username (where username is the name of the user account)
passwd username (This will prompt you for the password for the user)
Now this user must be able to connect via SSH
You can then run su - (you will be prompted for the root password) that will put you in a root shell
Also, you could edit/etc/ssh/sshd_config (using vi or nano)
and change the following line
Of
PermitRootLogin not
TO
PermitRootLogin Yes
type of service sshd restart (you should do this in the console) this will then allow you to ssh to the system as root.

Command not found in the service console ESX 4.0 u2
Hi all
I have a very simple question.
I have haven´t access to the service console ESX 4.0 for some time and today I need run commands to verify information on some host bus adapters.
I logged a user then used 'su root' to switch to the ROOT user.
I use Putty to connect to the Service Console.
But when I try to execute the following commands it said "Command Not Found":
vmkload_mod
esxcfg-module
I read VMware KBs, that say to use these commands for this version of ESX, but I can´t do run.
I think the answer is something very simple, but I can´t find it.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you
Mark

Adding an IP to the service console more
Hi team,
We have a race ESX 4 and the service console has already been configured with an IP address, I would like to add an IP more (another beach) so this service console must be accessible by both intellectual property.
Now my console IP service is 172.18.111.155 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, GW - 172.18.111.1
Now, I need to add another IP 172.18.105.45 Beach IE with a subnet mask of 255.255.254.0. GW - 172.18.104.1
Could you please let me know if possible, if so how can be done.
Thank you

Hello
Next, you create just a new vSwitch with your 2nd service console using the dedicated bear. Marking will be on the side of the physical switch.
If this host is in a HA Cluster, you may receive warnings about redundancy.
Seeing that it is your 2nd service console, you can remove these messages. Watch http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1004700

Slow performance NFS (16 MB/s) of the Service Console
I'm trying to set up an environment with ghettoVCB but I have problems with the flow to the NFS share.
My configuration:
ESXi host:
ESXi 4.0.0 164009
Reference Dell R710 with 8x300GB 10 k SAS.
NAS server:
Nexenta 3.1.0
Dell PE2950 with 6x2TB Sata
Local write on the nas performance is around 230 Mbps. tested by running these two commands in two different sessions of PuTTY:
zpool iostat tank 5 dd if=/dev/zero of=sometestfile2 bs=1024000 count=5000
Zpool iostat output:
capacity operations bandwidth pool alloc free read write read write ---------- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- tank 7.59G 10.9T 0 0 0 0 tank 6.74G 10.9T 0 709 0 64.2M tank 8.11G 10.9T 0 2.06K 0 235M tank 9.62G 10.9T 0 2.07K 0 254M tank 10.8G 10.9T 0 1.81K 0 219M
Switch dedicated for storage area network:
Cisco 3750 with mtu 9000 system
Nexenta hosts both ESXi are connected to the switch with network cards with Jumbo enabled frames.
I created an NFS share and mounted as a data store in ESXi. When I run the command "dd" even the service console, I get this:

To test another way, I created a vmnic in the vSwitch dedicated for nfs and then attached this nic to a guest vm under Debian. I mounted the same nfs share and run the same command "dd":
splunk01:mount 192.168.XXX.XXX:/volumes/tank/vmbackup /mnt/nas0 splunk01:/mnt/nas0# dd if=/dev/zero of=sometestfile4 bs=1024000 count=5000 5000+0 records in 5000+0 records out 5120000000 bytes (5.1 GB) copied, 56.1965 s, 91.1 MB/s splunk01:/mnt/nas0#

So there is clearly no problem on the side of Nexenta.
What I am doing wrong?
Is there a problem with this build exakt?

Installation Partition problem (allocated too expensive for the Service Console?)
Installation Partition problem (allocated too expensive for the Service Console?)
RAID1 (15K 146 GB SAS) on Dell R710 and VMFS is on table EQL.
What I did during the ESX4.1 excavation, it's that I have used ALL the space in 146 GB (mainly for / and / var), after adding this ESX host to vCenter, VC and EQL ASM/VE started to complain about the following points:
1 VC: health check of localstorage warning (only has 245 MB left on 146SAS localstorage)
2 EQL ASM/VE: warning rootFolder folder (due to the above)
I thought that he is authorized to use all the space for / (50 GB) and / var (50 GB) in my case for only 146 GB, I don't think I need to leave any space on the installation disc.
Could someone share some lights here?
Thank you
As you can see SDS use all the SDC VMFS partition space.
This create the alarm.
The thing really confused me why I have to leave a space on the disk at all?
Technically there is no reason to let the space... but also no reason to have a big service console
Usually, you need 10 to 20% free space for each snapshot data store and Exchange files... but in your case, you will not have these files.
If you have any problems, but you receive the alarm until you do not disable them on this specific data store.
PS: I suggest you switch to ESXi, is quite simple and it doesn't have this strange vmdk for the "console".

Identify the process of the virtual machine in the Service Console
Maybe it's a little challenging, but I need to "hang" a VM intentionally for purposes of Compliance\Qualification. I'm trying to understand the best way to do this and my colleague suggested to connect to the service console, identify the process virtual machine running and terminate, so suspend the virtual machine. The problem is, I'm not sure how to proceed. Could someone point me to the light?
Thank you very much.
Steve
You must know the name of the vmx file (usually it is the first name of the virtual machine).
Then, connect SSH (or console) to your ESX and run the following command
PS auxfww | grep 'VMXname '.
At this point, you can locate the correct PID of the virtual machine. The first number to appear in the output is your PID.
The PID can be used to complete the process by issuing the command kill-9 PID.

Failed to create the Service Console
Hello
Anyone could answer this, why I can't create service console? For some reason, the service console did not appear as an option in the Network Setup Wizard dialog box. Any clue?

You use ESXi.
It is not a service console, and it is not a service console port.
You manage ESXi using a vmkernel interface.

Own VLAN for the Service console
Hello
I was reading the esx3 best practices document and saw in it that it was recommended to the Service console on its own VLAN. I was wondering why... I can see why this with vMotion, but I'm not sure for the SC.
Thank you
The Service Console is a VM with access to the ESX kernel. If it is compromised, the attacker a free course on your virtual machines and VMFS leading to back and potential data theft. Using a VLAN independent is a way to strengthen security for the Service Console with the isolation.
