• The ESX host and 64-bit

  Hello

  I am developing an ESX solution, and because of the budget and space constrants just gave me a single server.  I installed ESX 4.0 on this server, and then I created virtual machines that have become the ESX 3.5 servers.  I was able to raise virtual machines to power and run in the nested virtual machines.  My problem is, now I'm developing a solution ESX 4.0, but we use Windows 2008 64bi.  Does anyone know how to get a host internal 64-bit to be able to run on an ESX 4.0 host externally.

  Here is a small representation of the environment:

  Physical box ESX 4.0

  -Virtual Server ESX 4.0

  -Nested virtual Windows 2008 64 bit server

  Does anyone know how to get the 64-bit of Windows 2008 Server to run on virtual server ESX 4.0.  I've already activated VT on ESX 4.0 virtual settings, but I can't find a place in the Virtual Machine BIOS to enable VT any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Material assistance (VT) is not virtualized.  Thus, nested virtual machines cannot be 64-bit and is the reason why you don't see VT options in the BIOS of the virtual machine .

  If I read you correctly, you have ESX4 installed on bare metal and you have ESX 3.5 VMs.  Now that you are trying to create a virtual machine in 64-bit Windows.  You can create them in the ESX 3.5 environment.  You must create a virtual ESX4 machine.  (IOW, not nested).

  In addition, after you enable VT in physical BIOS, you must turn off the physical machine.  (Not just restart.  (Power off).

• Connect the ESX host and data store on another ESX host

  Hello

  assuming for this scenario:

  Host ESX 1: esx1

  Host ESX 2: esx2

  It is possible to mount esx2 datastore in esx1? (For example: via NFS). Of course, it is possible use a NAS/SAN intermediary, but I wonder if it is possible to achieve a direct mount.

  Thank you

  Eddie

  Well, to allow another host to share the local data store, the host must be able to act as an NFS server. The problem is, there is no service in one of the ESX version which able to serve that. So, as said what a.p., no, is not possible.

• Grant Web access to the only vm on the esx host

  I have read the Administrator's guide and spent a few hours online on this subject and other types of users doing the same thing...

  I have 2.5 VC and ESX 3.5 by running very well.  I want to give web access to a virtual machine #1 running on ESX #1 host in this species, using the URL for the console "generate".

  I went VC and granted permission to the user of the Virtual Machine to the particular user I want to access the virtual machine.  I granted this permission to the esx host and the virtual machine.  When the user attempts to connect (this is a domain account) they get the connection failed due to bad user name or password.  It seems that the only account that can connect to web access is the root on this esx host account.  I am at a loss here, because I also tried to set this user as an administrator and so on.  The only account that can connect to web access, is that the account root localhost.

  What I'm missing here?

  The user attempts to access Web Access to the ESX Server? Which is what I think they do because without a third party tool they will be able to authenticate users who are in the service console, including the roots.  If they try to access Web App of VC by pointing a browser VC while they should AD credentials to access their virtual computer.

  Another thing to remember is that permissions in VC only apply when you log in to VC

• An existing connection to be closed by the remote host.

  Hi dva8377,

  Here are two additional methods you can try.

  1: Restart the computer by using a clean boot of the method

   

  When you start Microsoft Windows, other software may start with the operating system. These programs may include antivirus software and system programs that may interfere with the game. When you perform a clean restart procedure, you prevent these programs from starting automatically.

  Reference:

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  Method 2: Bypass the router

   

  If you connect to the Internet using a router, there may be a problem with the configuration settings, which requires that the updated settings. To determine if a network connectivity problem is caused by a bad configuration or a problem affecting the router, try bypassing the router by connecting your computer directly to the modem. Remember that this test will only check that the router is configured correctly. If the game connects to the Internet without problem when you bypass the router, plug the router immediately and contact the manufacturer of the router or your ISP for help configure the router correctly.

  Note: Ensure that you switch your computer to normal startup mode after completing the troubleshooting steps. Steps are available in the article above.

• How to report the current time on the ESX host in to a csv file with the following

  Hello guys

  I have the script next where I make the required details except the current time on the ESX host. Anyone can guide me please.

  		{foreach ($esx to $vmhosts)
  			$hostVC = $vcenter
  			$hostCluster = $esx. Parent.Name
  			$hostHost = $esx. Name
  			$ntp = $esx | Get-VMHostNtpServer
  			$hostNTP = "$ntp".

  			}

  I want to integrate the following for loop of the above for loop and ge the output in a single table.

  foreach ($esxcli in get-vmhost | get-esxcli) {"" |} {Select @{n = "Time"; e = {$esxcli.system.time.get ()}}, @{n = "hostname"; e = {$esxcli.system.hostname.get (.hostname)}}}

  Add-Content - Path '$hostVC, $hostCluster, $hostHost, $hostNTP, $hostTime' $hostInvFile - $ hostTime is where I want to get my host right now.

  I'm vcenter, esx name, name of the cluster, host of the ntp server address, but I need the host thus present.

  Thanks in advance.

  Thank you

  Try changing the line where the script retrieves the VMHost to this

  $vmhosts = get-VMHost-State connected. Name sort

  This way the script will be only to ESXi nodes that are "connected".

  Pick up time for those defective does not much sense in all cases

• Adding data to the ESX host store

  Hi all

  We are automating the process of adding data to the esx host store. We have all the necessary inputs as a host, Cluster, data center, data store name, store (VMFS) Pat data.

  Do we have the cmdlets to get the result? What is the data store should be added after the configuration of the network?

  We need confirm that the data store must be there in vcenter/Cluster?

  Please help explain the process.

  Thanks and greetings

• Reboot the ESX host as possible while on VM snapshots exist?

  Can you safely do a reboot of a host ESX VM there was on this host which are off (of course), but have a snapshot exists at this time?

  Because we restart some ESX host but you also have to install some Windows updates on the virtual machine on these hosts. Normally, we take a snapshot of the WM, install updates, restart, check if everything is working fine, and then remove the snapshot. But after a reboot the ESX host we also check if the VM have started and are working very well. In this case, it would cost me 2 restart and check for WM

  When I could do the snapshots, installation of updates, power off the virtual machine, reboot the ESX host, turn on the virtual machine, all check and then delete the snapshots, it saves me time. Only thing I don't know and can't find is so it record to make a snapshot is by restarting the EX host and if the snapshot can be deleted after reboot normally.

  Welcome to the community,

  don't worry, a restart of the host is quite VMs, regardless of whether they are active or not snapshots.

• Question ESXi 5.5 with turn a virtual computer: "an error was received from the ESX host turning on VM" '22 (Invalid argument)"'DiskEarly on a power Module failed.'

  Here's what happens when you try to turn it on one of my virtual machines (see also accessories):

  Error stack:

  Unable to start the virtual machine.

  22 (invalid argument)

  This circumstance may be linked to a sata cable issue, with the possibility of temporary loss of connectivity, which could result in data loss/corruption, I realize.  It is a laboratory box.  Especially say that the 2 VMDK he complains (trying to light) is both on the grounds of a single physical disk. Data, read and written to the speaker, since the problem are very good (which indicates the wiring problem was resolved, and the VMFS5 file system seems to be in good health).

  No photos.  No related clones.  Just a 2012 Windows Server based VM, with several drive letters in, with those underlying files VMDK residing on different stores of data VMFS5.  Implemented end (these drives aren't really so huge), but far from running out of physical space for the data either. Everything is working great for months, until today, trying to it turns on again.

  You are looking for:

  "Failure error disk beginning module lit" results in this article:

  which indicates the .lck files may be present.  It does not exist.

  but alas, none of them seem to relate directly, or exactly.  My vmware.log file is attached below, as well as some screenshots of to show the structure of the unity of this virtual machine.  Hoping that this post proves fruitful, if anyone has had a similar situation.  The data at stake here are (mostly) redundant, but I would rather understand my way of it, in the case where it happens to me again, or can help others.  Many preferred rather than give up, reformat the VMFS and start again.

  Thank you!

  Good news, the best result I could hope. No data is lost. No corruption of the VMFS or NTFS don't drive in the virtual machine. Nice!  Saved me a few terabytes of data restoration and learned a little more on file system of troubleshooting along the way.

  It took a technician of VMware Service excellent, attentive, methodical remote 2 hours in a WebEx previously to resolve problems with these 2 files vmdk manually, because he found that there is a lock on them. I opened a request of Service (SR) # with VMware by following the instructions here:

  VMware KB: Cannot access certain files on a VMFS datastore

  To resolve this problem, apply for support from VMware Support and note this ID (1012036) Knowledge Base article in the description of the problem. For more information on the filing of a request for support, see How to submit a support request.

  I'll cover this saga and the exact process for collecting and downloading of newspapers, through to my TinkerTry.com, including the ride video.  I even captured much of the technical work that has been done. That said, it is true that little of the magic that was made to resurrect the metadata will remain a mystery, given that this piece is VMware.

  I'm ok with a bit of black box, considering how I'm happy that I got all my data, and time savings that the quick recovery represented.

• Check if the esx host is in maintenance mode

  
  Hello

  I need to know if there is a api in java vi which can let us know if any of the esx host is currently in maintenance mode?

  I know there is a way to discover this through the same monitoring using event Manager, I need to know is an api live which can let us know if the esx host is in maintaince at that precise moment?

  Thank you and best regards,

  Rachid chollet.

  Hi rachid,.

  I guess that the following property is what you are looking for: HostSystem.runtime.inMaintenanceMode

  But watch out for the docs for the property when it reads it: it is not set during the entry phase of maintenance mode.
