Cluster of Windows 2008 on VMware ESXi 4 - ISCSI - (without VSphere)

Is there anyway to achieve this?  I would like to install a node 2, Windows 2008 active-passive cluster with ISCSI.

I saw a few solutions involving Starwind and FreeNAS but I'm not sure if they are necessary, or which is best?

  • Backup Windows 2008 - VHD to ESXi

    from the backup of windows 2008 I created a VHD file, how can I import it in Vmware ESXi 3.5?

    I tried to convert the machine with the converter to warm, but 95% still does not go.

    The converter does not support the VHD file.

    Thank you too much.

    http://www.WinImage.com/

    Convert with this program.  Open disk image (.vhd) and use it to convert (hard).  Then use WinSCP to transfer the files to the ESXi data store, create a NEW virtual machine and point to this vmdk file.

  • Installation of Windows 2008 R2 on ESXi 5.0

    Hi all

    I worked with ESXi 4 & 5 running Windows 2003 OS invited without problems.  Just tried to install Windows 2008 R2 x 64 and face an interesting difference.  When installing windows 2003 I have to specify the details of the Virtual Machine, specifically the amount of disk space I want to be available to host everything.  Then start the virtual machine, newly created from the windows installation disk appropriate.  I then get prompt with the "blue" screen allowing me to partition the space according to the BONE and once installation is complete I can then go through the operating system and partition and format the remaining space, as I hear it.  Doing so to a Windows 2008 R2 x 64 installation disk and I don't you this possibility so the BONE ends by using all the space allocated to the host of comments.

    I guess I'm missing something blindingly obvious, but have not been able to track down any relevant information to this day.

    Yes, you really lack the partitioning part.

    This is after selecting custom selection (advanced option) > select the drive you want to install windows > click drive options and partition your drive.

  • How check/change in windows 2008 R2 vmware tools

    Hey guys,.

    I go through the documentation about our backup software, and it says to check and ensure THAT VSS is installed/activated in the installation of vmware tools, but when I go to add/remove programs and to seek to 'Edit' the installation I don't have this option. My only option is to uninstall vmware tools.

    Is VSS automatically installed/activated now in vmware tools? We run vsphere 4.0.

    Thank you

    Kevin

    I could be wrong, but I think that the driver VSS is enabled by default.  To verify, right-click on the VMguestInstall/Upgrade tools. When mount tools, you have an option to change, look under the drivers section

    Hello

    He was for some time because I used the VMTN forum, I am in need to find the best solution to extend the drive of Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit) C:\OS and requires no interruption of service.  I use a lot of options before but seems to be some limitations for requires downtime or 32 bit instead of 64-bit anyone no matter what evidence would be greatly appreciated.

    Options:

    1. use the 2nd virtual machine as aid

    2. use the vmkfstools command line

    3. use the Dell ExtPart tool it of live and uninterrupted, but does not support x 64 bit works very well with 32-bit

    4. use 3rd tools like Partition Magic or other tools (anything I can try using the free trial version would be cool)?

    Ideas or something would be great?

  • The Vcops error (VMware-vcops - 5.8.0.0 - 1448123 - vapp.ova) on VMware ESXi (VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 5.5.0 - 1331820.x86_64.iso)

    Hi all

    I am a novice in this area and to learn.

    I installed VMware ESXi 5.5 in one of my machine and it works through VMware player. Am also able to connect to VMware ESXi 5.5 via Vsphere Client 5.5 on my machine. Through my research on the internet I found that vCenter Server is required only when we have the large number of ESXi to manage (correct me if I'm wrong). In my case, I have only one. Therefore, I have not installed vCenter Server.

    Now, I want to deploy vCops with VMware ESXi 5.5 5.8. But while deploying OVF template(VMware-vcops-5.8.0.0-1448123-vapp.ova), I get the following error.

    Err1.JPG

    My understanding above is correct or am I missing something obvious?

    Hi RizQad,

    According to the guidelines of the screenshot, you connect directly to the host ESXi 192.168.0.49 and the error is reported through the OVF vCOPs. It's expected, because the ESXi host do not understand the purpose of vAPP, as explained in my initial comment.

    You need to connect to your IP vCVA i.e. 192.168.0.51 using the vSphere client and then import the OVF vCOPs.

    Let me know if you still experience this issue.

  • Is VMWare ESXi 5.5 free?


    I installed VMWare ESXi 5.5 and vSphere cleint test lab and what I see is a 60 day trial, how can I get a free version?

    As mentioned André you missed the stand-alone host licenses section.

    If you are too confusing, here are the steps

    To allow a standalone ESXi 5.x (vSphere Hypervisor):

    1. Connect to the ESXi host with vSphere Client.
    2. Click the Configuration tab.
    3. Click licensed features in software.
    4. Click change in the appearance under the license tab.
    5. Select assign a new license key at this host.
    6. Press enter and enter the license key.

  • Cannot import Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4.

    Hi team,

    I use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone to import certain Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4, using another Windows Server 2008 R2 as the machine Agent Converter. Well, the agent connects to the Windows VM source very well (I used the net use command to create a line of conduct...), perhaps no chance to connect to the computer target VMware ESxi 4 and make the converter doesn't work...

    Following is the error message:

    "Unable to connect to the host specified" from the converter agent machine. " It is perhaps because the host is not available on the network, there is a problem with the network configuration or management on this host services do not react. Check all components of converter to be able to connect.

    So, my question is; is it possible to create a work around (like the net use Windows command above) to make possible the connection of the converter Agent on Linux VMware ESXi 4 machine Windows machine, to directly import the virtual machines of Windows Hyper-V to Linux VMware?

    Thanks in advance,

    It's even easier than that

    Use this: http://www.winimage.com/

    Which will convert *.vhd *.vmdk, so you don't need to do all this... Of course, another way is to start the machines, leaving them on Hyper-V and go through the network and process virtual machine as physical machines and do a P2V on the network...

  • VMware esxi 4.1 compatibility with ASUS PIKE 2008 interface?

    Hello VM ware Folks,.

    Can you let me know if ASUS PIKE 2008 interface card is compatible with vmware esxi 4.1 since I intend to install vmware server.

    Appreciate your help.

    Thank you

    Srikanth.

    Hi Srikanth,

    PIKE is an exclusive feature of expansion for ASUS motherboards. These motherboards are found in the HCL, but it seems that ASUS has not put the PIKE in the process of certification as a discreet storage card. ASUS claims nor that it is supported on anything other than Windows and Linux operating systems.

    You just have to try it and see, really. I think he's probably going to work perfectly, but it probably is not an adapter of storage supported for VMware ESX or ESXi, if you are having problems.

  • Creating a failover cluster Windows 2008 on ESX 3.5

    Hello

    I would like to create a cluster Windows 2008 on ESX 3.5.  As I understand it browse the forums supporting parallel SCSI as a type of shared bus was abandoned for Failover Clustering in Windows Server 2008.  To enable clustering, you need to use iSCSI on a target server.  Additional costs of license option for the introduction of a target server.

    Is ESX 3.5 update to support Windows 2008 failover clustering?  If so, when?

    Is there another solution that involves no additional cost?  I watched StarWind but the free version does not give us enough resources that is necessary.

    How ESX 4.0 supports Windows 2008 failover cluster?

    Thank you

    Brian

    In ESX 3.5, you can do a 2008 failover cluster with a software initiator in the node Windows 2008.

    For ESX 4 no problem.
