Cloning of the hosts nested ESXi 5.5 in my computer 10 - address IP problem

• How can I determine if the host is ESXi free or licensed?

  How can one know if an ESXi host is ESXi free, or if it is allowed?

  I searched through the crowd on a couple of different configurations and I don't see anything obvious that indicates this.  I ask because there are some features that only work on ESXi under license and would like to be able to detect the server type I'm talking about.

  I guess that there is a way to do so under the ha - Manager of licenses.

  Thank you

  Eric

  The method that I use to check for this in my scripts is to use the licenseManager watch ownership licenses and see if the license is equivalent to "esxBasic", the host is ESXi, if both these things are true, then you are using the free version of ESXi. In my view, there is another method in which the free version does not contain the full name of some kind, but I forgot what it was. If the above solution worked for me for some time and is simple to check

• HDD not getting detected on the host virtual esxi nested 5.5

  Hi all

  on my home office, I installed ESXi on bare metal on USB. From a laptop computer, I was able to connect to it. I created an esxi embedded and followed

  Howto: create a nested laboratory However, it did not help.

  On the bare metal Office the esxi is able to recognize the network and it works fine.

  The nested esxi is not abkle to see the hard drive. Anu suggestions?

  Thank you

  Vaibhav

  ESXi you selected as the operating system for the nested host? What model of HARD disk controller is used for one or more hosts that are nested.

• PowerCLI defining politics NTP to "Start and stop with the host" in ESXi 5

  Would appreciate any help in the definition of the strategy NTP on ESXi 5 hosts 'start and stop with the host. My script is currently using the following:

  Get-VMHost MyEsx | Get-VMHostService | where {$_.} Key - eq 'ntpd'} | Game-VMHostService-policy "automatic."

  This sets up the NTP service in "start automatically if all ports are open and stop when all ports are closed.

  "When I cange to 'MyEsx Get-VMHost | Get-VMHostService | where {$_.} Key - eq 'ntpd'} | Game-VMHostService-political ' market / stop with host"" the following is returned:

  «The possible enumeration values are "auto, On, Off«»»»

  Anyone know of a way (in PowerCLI) of the set up for the 'start and stop with host?

  OK, then you should choose politics "on".

  These are the policy values and what they match.

  

  Like this

  Get-VMHost MyEsx | Get-VMHostService | where {$_.Key -eq "ntpd"} | Set-VMHostService -Policy On
  

• VMotion / DRS works if the host is ESXi U2 and not U1

  Hello

  Just to confirm, will be all HA / DRS / VMotion functionality work if the ESXi 4.1 Cluster is updated 1 and one of the hosts is the HOTFIX 2?

  
  Thank you

  Although it is recommended to run the same version/build, it should work properly.

• The upgrade of the host, VMware ESXI 4.1

  Hello

  I am running a host VMware ESXi 4.1. It seems that VMware claims now this product VMware vSphere Hypervisor (am I right?). Was it a name change purely marketing, or they introduce new functions as well? Is VSphere Hypervisor a more recent version of ESXi

  Is there a tool to upgrade VMware ESXi 4.1 for newer versions (no matter if their output yet or not, just wondering about the upgrade in general)?

  Thanks in advance!

  Don't worry, it's all the same. You have the same binary files for all editions of ESXi, it is only the license key that locks or unlocks features. I think that the main reason why VMware decided to call ESXi free edition "Hypervisor" was because many people were confused that ESXi is free or not.

  There are two upgrade options ESXi. For the first, you must have a licensed version of vCenter Server, which offers the "Update Manager". The second is to use the command line utility "vihostupdate".

  In addition, you can take a look at http://www.vm-help.com/esx41/Patching_4.1_with_the_host_update_utility.php

• slow startup of the host VMWare ESXi 5.5 when installed on the hard drive internal

  We have some servers Dell R720 with 256G RAM and 2 6core Procs.  When I install ESXi client for internal hard drives (mirrored array) it takes literally more than 5 minutes to start.  I can watch the vmware boot process crawl slowly the progress bar on the screen in "recovery" mode before moving on to the substantive start-up procedure yellow.

  Why is this slow process?  Why a hard drive inside is install using syslinux? (it's the first thing that shows on the display).  If I had to guess, I would say that the only facility to support runs of fat32 on a USB flash drive and the same hard drive installs use this same process to start.  Am I wrong?

  I'm late to the party, but we have been affected by this issue. The solution is a updated internally perc firmware.

  It's like night and day.

• The trial of ESXi 3.5 to vsphere ESX 4.0 upgrade problem.

  Configure a test host ESXi 3.5 with 2 virtual machines running on it and I now want to upgrade to vsphere ESX 4.0, but where in the heck do I get the zip file needed to use Update Manager?

  I'll buy the Essentials bundle, but I want to test the upgrade before doing the actual upgrade, and I can't understand what I'm doing wrong.

  Help!

  It is for ESXi, and matter.

  This is the main directory of patches

  .. But if you try to go to ESXi ESX, you can not upgrade, this is a regeneration.

• Nested ESXi hosts and iSCSI POC

  People,

  I want to set up a proof of concept for a two host, two models NAS for my workplace. At this point, I put a host of ESXi nested using this Vcritical guide - http://www.vcritical.com/2011/07/vmware-vsphere-can-virtualize-itself/

  This made wonder. I have two virtual servers within the main install ESXi with the three hosts on the network 192.168.0.x. I then added a second NETWORK adapter on the 'server' and separated from the network iSCSI (192.168.1.x) and pointed to a simple NAS. This went well now. The problem is the hosts nested cannot access the iSCSI network.

  It's all a bit above my paygrade, but I can't work on how I can get the hosts nested on the iSCSI network. I tried to add network cards second in virtual computers running virtual hosts and their allocation to the 192.168.1.x network.

  Can anyone help to shed light? Someone you will understand my question or what I'm doing? I hope so!

  Thanks in advance

  HP

  Hello

  Your primary host see the iscsi network and connect to your nas Server?

  It should just be a case of creating a VM portgroup on this same vswitch, with settings of appropriate VLANs if necessary, assigning your esx hosts nested this portgroup vNIC. On the nested hosts themselves, you will need to implement the initiator software iscsi etc. as usual.

• vSphere Client 5 U1 unable to connect to the host of U1 ESXi 4.1

  Hello

  I'm having a small problem.

  I am currently using vSphere Client 5 U1 (5.0.0 Build 623373) to connect directly to ESXi hosts (still no vCenter).

  I can connect successfully to 5.0 U1 hosts, but I have a few hosts U1 4.1 inherited in the lab which I just can't connect with.

  A little research in the compatibility tables show that with the most recent client, I should be able to connect do former ESXi hosts.

  However, when I try to connect to this host U1 4.1, I get a popup to update with the message "customer support required files must be extracted from the 'vsphereclient.vmware.com' server and installed". And then I get a prompt to install/save a Setup program.

  What is this new installer? Another version of the Client? Have I not the newest one? Anyway, I can't complete the download for this new installer (connection failure).

  The host of ESXi 4.1 is on the network and I can connect with an older Client (4.1) that is installed in a different workstation.

  What happens here?

  Thanks in advance!

  You must install as vSphere client major versions (3, 4, 5) but VMware tries to make this process as transparent as possible. That's why it asks to install it automatically.

  Once installed, just launch v5 and it automatically and transparently pass the correct version if you connect to a 4.x server.

• iSCSI storage presented to the hosts managed by different vCenter Server - questions?

  I currently have three hosts (esxi 5.0) that are managed by vcenter server 5.5 U2. The hosts are attached to iSCSI LUNS (data warehouses) 10.

  I'm migrating to esxi 6.0 U2. For this, there are three new hosts have esxi 6.0 installed and managed by vcenter server 6.0 U2 U2.

  The plan is to detach/remove 5.0 5.5 U2 vcenter esxi hosts. Then import it into vcenter 6.0 U2 (a new cluster will be created). Once imported, uninstall the 5.5 vcenter u2. Then turn off the resident VMs imported esxi 5 hosts and move them to 6.0 esxi hosts.

  My query is regarding regarding storage.

  At present, three new guests see all storage the old 5.0 esxi hosts to see (guests are not in the cluster. "I'm still trying to put things up). That's because the new hosts were deposited to the same group on the side iSCSI initiator storage. Now things, data warehouses are visible by the hosts with esxi 5.0 (managed by vcenter 5.5 u2) and also the esxi hosts 6.0 (managed by vcenter 6.0 u2). The only VMs residing in esxi environment 6 is vcenter 6.0 u2 and update manager 6.0 u2. These are in a data store that is not any other virtual machines.

  That's no problem during the migration? I have not created a cluster for the esxi 6.0 hosts yet and plan to do after obtaining your entries.

  Thank you!

  No problem whatsoever, regardless whether if you do or that you add no vSphere 6 hosts in a HA cluster.

  If you temporarily enable EVC on the vSphere hosts 6, once all hosts are connected to the same vCenter you can VMotion all VMs to new hosts even without any stop. Clear CVS once the migration is complete.

• vCenter 5.1 - network problem between the host computers

  vCenter 5.1

  (2) the hosts running esxi 5.1

  I have VM in a single dvSwitch and dvPortGroup on two hosts - VM total 5.

  This is where it gets weird:

  -all VM on host1 can ping/browse all VM on host2

  -VM on host2 can ping/browse all * EXCEPT ONE * VM on host1.

  -All virtual machines can ping Bridge and beyond

  Otherwise said - VM1 on host 1 may VM3 and VM2 host2 ping, but VM3 and VM2 cannot ping VM1.

  No firewall or anything like that in the guests, because VM4 on host1 * CAN * ping VM1.

  Looks like an arp or vNetwork question.

  Thoughts, known problems?

  Found!

  I got 2 ports not tagged in the VLAN for switch problems.

  While everything went on-site in the configurations, hard links to the switch are the root cause.

  Thanks for your comments - he has led me on the way to finally discover the question.

• How to increase the amount of memory to the host system?

  Hello gentlemen,

  I am new to VMware ESXi 5, and I want to know how to increase the amount of memory for the host system?

  I saw in the Configuration menu of the host, my ESXi host has only 77.3 MB. I think it's wrong, it's too little amount of memory dedicated to the host system. It is not a (Properties) button after I was able to change the amount of memory host system.

  Please, be so kind, help me!

  Thanks in advance!

  Welcome to the community,

  where do you see this amount of memory?

  The total amount of memory installed on the host can be seen in the summary, tab (resources) with the host country is selected in the inventory.

• How to change the host name

  I have a lot of VSphere 4.1, ESXi 4.1 that I need to change the host name. Then I go in VSphere, highlight the host, set mode now, goto, DNS and routing configuration, the new host name change and restart, get fashion maint and host on the console of the host name ESXi said the NEW host name in DNS and routing it says the NEW name of host, but on the left hosts & Clusters discovered I still see the OLD host name... I try to add the new host name and it is said that there are already.  Is there something I missed >? >

• The upgrade to ESXi 4.1 with Update Manager - disconnect SAN?

  Just noticed a patch was released for ESXi 4.1, if I deploy this hotfix with Update Manager, do I have to disconnect the SAN in order to install the host?  ESXi make his case of scanning for unformatted volumes and format when it restarts first after being patched?
