• Extract the host name vCenter using PowerCLI

  Hi all

  I was asked to create a script that displays the host ESX, the version of the product name (I use "Get-View $_USER.USER"). «» ""Config.Product.FullName"), and what I thought, that's easy, vCenter host name." I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to extract the host name real vCenter. I can get the vDC and the cluster, but I can't find what combination of cmdlets or vim commands can extract this nugget. Is something that is accessible via a standard cmdlet such as get-viproperty, get-view or another?

  TIA,

• Access error in the status of material on the hosts to vCenter

  I have a virtual machine on one of my hosts, 64-bit Windows 2008 SP2, with of VMware vCenter Server installed on it. I connect to manage all my guests. I changed the NETBIOS name of the virtual from Windows machine to comply with the new standards of the convention of naming on our network, and now I have the following problem when you try to access the page of material status on my hosts. It works fine if I connect directly to the host, but no longer works via vCenter... Someone knows how to fix this? It must have something to do with the change of name, because it worked fine before the change.

  

  I don't myself yet, but maybe http://vr0x0r0man.blogspot.com/2010/08/rename-vcenter-41-server.html can help solve the problem.

• Sharing the host using Vcenter

  I have two machines with ESXi hosts on them, I created two virtual machines on each vsphere client using. Now, I want to share the memory, core and hard drive of these two hosts. Is this possible?

  Please answer as soon as possible

  Thank you.

  You cannot share of CPU or memory, because vSphere works as a failover cluster, rather than a compute cluster. Sharing of disk space can be achieved by using virtual machines (virtual storage facilities) on each host, using the local space of each host and present it as shared network storage device. However, most of these devices requires a minimum of 3 guests. You can run a shared on a single host storage devices, but you would still not any redundancy in the event of a host failure.

• How to upgrade vcenter host when the host needs to be in maintenance mode

  Hi, I have a host 5.5 with 3 VMs (2 production servers and 1 Server vcenter). Now I see for updating the host using vcenter Update Manager documentation is quite simple. The thing I don't understand until you can fix, the esx host must be in maintenance mode, which means no VMs, including the vcenter server, which is the only way you can do a right click on the host and choose restore. Now how can I fix if the server is in maintenance mode and my vcenter server is down?

  I have the vsphere client installed on my laptop, version 5.5, but him, I did not have the remediation option. How can I put my 5.5 esxi host?

  Thank you

  With only one host in place and vCenter Server as a virtual machine running on this host, you cannot use Update Manager. Your options are either interactively update the host using a CD or update patch / the host from the command line using esxcli.

• Adding esxi host to vcenter

  Hello

  I can't add a 5.1 ESXi host to VCenter server (5.1). When I try to add the host to vcenter, I get an error message "a general system error occurred, VMODL incompatibility between VC and ESXi."

  Need help.

  Usually this error appears when the ESXi host, you're trying to add has a newer version than vCenter.  Depending on your case, both have same version. In fact, it should work fine without any problem.

  Can you please confirm the ESXi and vCenter versions? Also can you please post numbers comes together?

• When you add the data to the host of the second store it wants to format storage

  I have two hosts ESXi 5.5, one is the main host who currently runs the set of virtual machine from this data store. I would add the data store to the host, but to do so is greyed out on the new server, and he wants I want to format the data store.

  UPDATE:

  I used this thread to solve: cannot add to ESXi host VMFS datastore

  More precisely:

  Try the following command

  #esxcfg - volume - l

  This should show the volume

  To constantly increase the volume, use esxcfg-volume - M followed of the UUID or volume name

  Thank you for looking, sorry to distract. I saw this thread when troubleshooting first. Good day to all!

  What type of shared storage using you, and you haven't set up the presentation of the logic unit number for the second host in the same way that you did for the first host? Do you manage the host with vCenter Server, or if you use two autonomous host computers?

• Cannot add host to vCenter server as data store is shared with an existing host to vCenter

  Recently, I removed a physical host to a virtual appliance of vCenter Server and am not able to add it to vCenter Server because I get an error message on the existing data store.  I run a simple server vCenter environment with two physical hosts and shared storage.  I've only been administering vCenter for a few months, so I'm relatively new on the technology and processes.  I searched the Internet for a few days now, but have not found documentation everyone has the same problem I have (which I find strange considering the simplicity my problem and configuration), so I tried to get help from the community of VMware.

  I received an error message a day this vCenter Server cannot connect to either of the two hosts so I removed the host (rather than disconnect and plug as I should have done).  Now, I am not able to connect to the host to vCenter server because the shared storage data store comes into conflict with the same data store used by the host in vCenter Server.  I get the error message is ' "Datastore"datastore_name"is in conflict with a store of data that exists in the data center which has the same URL (ds: / / / vmfs/volumes/UUID /), but is supported by different physical storage." "  I try to remove the host data store, but get the following error message: "resource" data store name: datastore_name VMFS uuid: UUID' is in use. ".  The error stack said: "'HostStorageSystem.UnmountVmfsVolume' call failed for object 'storage system' on ESXi"IP address"."  Cannot unmount volume ' data store name: datastore_name VMFS uuid: 'UUID' because the file system is busy. Correct the problem and retry the operation. "I tried to delete all virtual machines of the inventory, put the hosts in maintenance mode, restart physical hosts, but none of my troubleshooting contributes.

  I don't know what steps to take to get this data store driving with the host so that I can add it in vCenter Server.  You can provide me with any help is appreciated.

  Good thing you already moved the VMs on.  For what is 'disconnect', 'remove' or 'delete' might work anyway.  You should maybe put the host in maintenance mode or even reboot the host before you can remove data warehouses.  In an extreme case, I even had to remove the host and the hypervisor installed completely rebuild on the spot.  It is not that difficult or does not take long to reinstall, so be not afraid on this subject.  A clean reinstall could still save time compared to the deletion of data warehouses.

• Management network with a different IP address than the host?

  I want to isolate network traffic from my VM traffic management.  My host is on the same VLAN as the majority of my virtual machines.  Can I change the core IP network management to be different from that of my host?  Or am I stuck change IP / VLAN my hosts to something else...

  Yes, you will lose the connection to vcenter. Ideally, remove the host to vCenter, change IP and it readd back (vcenter will need access to this vlan 200 also).

• Connection host to vCenter

  Hello

  I have vCenter 5.1.0 947673 and I have both two ESXi hosts are 5.1.0 version 799733. The first to connect the vCenter with problem but the other gave me an error:

  Failed to contact the specified host (192.168.250.XXX)
  . The host may not be available on the network, a
  network configuration problem may exist, or the
  management on this host services may not be
  respondent.

  What could be the problem? The host and vCenter are in the same network, net, they have the same gateway by default and same DNS server and they can ping each other same sub.

  Have you already tried to restart the management on the ESXi host agents and tried to add?

• How to remove a VM inventory in vcentre when the host is down

  Hi guys,.

  We had a power outage today where one of our physical ESX host is dead (we have 2 VM cluster hosts).  HA/DRS unfortunately does not work as there are insufficient resources to automatically migrate the virtual machines on the host failed through to the host remaining (another separate question that I will not here address)

  when the hsot went down, virtual machines have been left in the market, but were in a disconnected state (see table).  I read that you can reallocate virtual machines to another host by 'navigate to the data store and do a right-click on the vmx file and click Add to inventory and select the host. " (Ref: ) http://communities.VMware.com/thread/173314 )

  However when I browse to the data store, the option 'Add to inventory' has also dimmed.  I suspect (Please confirm) that he wwas because the virtual machine in question was still at the "running" State  problematic, because that disconnected/running state, I could not close it out vcentre gui (or console, as host was dead)

  can someone tell me how - if possible - can I migrate the virtual machine to another host, while in the situation described above?

  If this is not possible for future situations where the host is lost, I would be better together virtual machine to stop? (this would allow me to reassign the vms can?)

  see you soon

  The virtual machine will remain in the host inventory and disappear once you remove the host to vCenter inventory. What you then do - at least that's what I would probably - to be able again to power on virtual machines is to register the virtual machine to other hosts on the server vCenter Server (click right the VM .vmx file and choose 'Add to inventory')-after the correction of the host and before adding it again to vCenter Server - connect directly to this host and then delete the virtual machine already 'moved' from his inventory.

  What you need to do after registration of VM for other hosts is to check the VM based backup applications (if used), because the virtual machine will receive new ID.

• Migrate to ESXi 4.1 hosts to VCenter again

  Hey volks!

  Today, I finished with the installation of a new server VCenter 5. There is another VCenter 4 Installation that actually manages our ESXi 4.1 hosts. Now I would like to move the hosts to VCenter 4.1 environment to the new (5) a.

  Is there a way without having to move the hosts in Maintenance Mode?

  What I read on the web - can I just uninstall the agent, but no guide step by step has been found and I would prevent mistakes when doing. Also, I think that this is not a good way to do it, or?

  I'm sure someone did it in the past and can enlighten us on this.

  Thanks in advance,

  Matthias

  NAAA it should be simple. Cluster resources can be a problem, but I don't see it as a big deal,

  1. Disconnect host VC4
  2. Remove the host of VC4
  3. Add a host to VC5
  4. and repeat step 1-3 for all remaining army.

  vCenter and HA agent will be installed automatically when add you the host to the VC5

• Determine which user added an ESX host to vCenter

  I'm trying to figure out if there is anyway to determine which user has added a vCenter ESX host using the api.  I don't see this information as any sort of property of the host object.  Any help would be appreciated!

  Paul

  You can retrieve this and other events by using the event manager and the queryEvents() - http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.wssdk.apiref.doc_50%2Fvim.event.EventManager.html

  There is no property associated with a host ESX (i) on which the user added to vCenter and since it seems that you are interested in a specific host ESX (i), which can help narrow down the query.

  Attached, that is, remove / add a vSphere SDK for Perl script that will return the user who added the host to vCenter, you should get a response because it uses the Ref object managed the host ESX (i) and that changes each time you have.

  Here is an example of course:

  ./findUserAddHost.pl--serveur root vcenter50-4 - vihost - vesxi50 - 3.primp username - industries.com
  Enter the password:
  added root host vesxi50 - 3.primp - industries.com to datacenter datacenter2
