• Custom report for several Datastore latencies

  Hello

  I would like to create a report from the latancy VMware Storage model, but have the ability to account for the multiple datatstores. I need to create a new report template to do this, or do I have to create a Service with the data store and to report on this service?

  The only option I seem to get a store of data one selection.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Giles

  You use WVE 7.1 or earlier? I remember that the VMware storage latency report could run for the storage of personal data.

  From WVE 7.2, you should be able to run against all data warehouses. Keep in mind the report displays only with latency data warehouses.

  WVE 7.2 should be available in a few weeks.

  I hope this helps.

• Alarm for VMWare tools being obsolete

  I was wondering if anyone has an alarm in place to warn if VMWare tools is obsolete on any VM servers.  I went through the alarms today and can't find anything for this.  I think it would be useful.

  Thank you

• Alarm for the latency of disk esxi-home

  I would like to set a new alarm to monitor all esx host disk latency in our vCenter.

  We found the settings, to set up this point for a virtual machine.

  [vCenter alarm-> add new detector for a virtual machine-> trigger Type: disc Total VM Max (ms) latency]

  So we need the same alarm, but for the esx host. But I can't find the right trigger type neighter events on the right (for which we can configure an alarm).

  The problem is that sometimes the Raid Controller battery is defective and then we notice everything by checking the performance of the disks-esx table:

  

  We need an alarm for exactly this measure: drive higher (ms) latency.

  I also searched for setting up an alarm in the store of data according to, but without success.

  Maybe someone has an idea how to set up such an alarm.

  Hello!

  There isn't any support in Client vSphere or vCenter. You can use esxtop to know but there is a lot of work to get a sort of wake-up call.

  A VMware product for this is vCenter operations, but it might be too depending on your environment.

  There is many products from 3rd party who will do that for you. vKernel VoP (formerly called vFoglight and I think that Veeam One will do this for you.)

• Problem with the video for "VMware vSphere Hypervisor - install and configure.

  Hello

  In this page: https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/evalcenter?lp=default & p = free-esxi5

  When you click on the "Installation and configuration" tab, we have access to videos for vSphere Hypervisor.

  But at the moment, none of the video can be shown.  I tried this in my computer at home as well as my company computer and none works.

  Someone who works for VMware please check this problem.

  Thank you

  OK, I just found what was "wrong".  These videos are "optimized" for Internet Explorer!   Yes, I tried on Firefox and Chrome on XP Pro and Win7, nothing worked.  Then after reading your message, I thought ' what happens if I try that? "  ... and indeed, the videos are displayed inside, I.e. I got suddenly a bad feeling, like I was back at the beginning of the 21st century!

  Come on!  Who would still do 'optimized' only website to know today?   I'm sure they will not be displayed on my Tablet either.

  I found these videos on YouTube:

  I think they are the same videos (but the quality is really bad... 360 p.: geez!).  Could someone confirm that they are indeed the same as those in vmware.com?  THX

  PS: Oh, on the section "Help", I found it at help | United States but I've seen no paragraph telling me how to report a problem on the website.

• Configuration of Symantec netbackup for VMware

  Hello

  I try to configure Netbackup 7.0 master server to take backup of all virtual machines. I use Fibrechannel EMC and vmware for VMware 4.0

  Environment.  Now, I want to take backup of the VM by Netbackup.   Please answer below the reference.

  1. do I need to present all LUNS to the Netbackup master server also take san free backup of Vmware.

  2. how it is possible to do the same thing without all of the LUNS to the master/Backup Server.

  3. I have 100 VM and how do I take the free agent complete vmbackup.

  Hello.

  1. do I need to present all LUNS to the Netbackup master server also take san free backup of Vmware.

  I guess you mean "LAN-free backup" above.  You must present LUNS to your NetBackup server, if you want backups without LAN.

  2. how it is possible to do the same thing without all of the LUNS to the master/Backup Server.

  In your strategy, choose something else than SAN for the "transfer type".

  3. I have 100 VM and how do I take the free agent complete vmbackup.

  Choose "Windows FlashBackup" for your type of strategy, and this will get the full virtual machine.

  I don't want the lunns to be present on any other server accept esx.

  Why, or what is the reason for this?  Your NetBackup on Windows servers?  Who has access to the backup servers?

  Can any body step by step document to configure windows backuphost(netbackup server) to take VMware lan free backup using the Vstorage API.

  Everything you need is in the "Symantec NetBackup (tm) 7.0 for VMware Guide"

  Good luck!

• x 4012 MTU for VMware NSX

  Hello

  I am looking for two 10 GB switches to low price without perfomance high-end to create an environment of demonstration NSX. VMware NSX has only one requirement difficult and an option for the integration complete.

  A 10 GB of Dell switch x 4012 would comply with the following requirements:

  • MTU > = 1600 (for the encapsulation of packages)
  • Support IGMP (HA hybrid mode but optional in our test configuration)

  I'm not able to find a reference in the documentation of these two characteristics.

  Thanks in advance for the help!

  If you have another idea or suggestion, feel free to contact me.

  Hello

  It does not meet the requirements for Vmware NSX.

• OpenManage for VMWare ESXi has no possibility of tasks of virtual disk

  OMSA v 7.1 and 7.2 for Windows (and earlier versions) allow the user to perform many tasks on virtual disks, including reconfiguring - expand a RAID array with a new drive.

  This is not true for managing open for VMWare ESXi - although you can monitor the status of the RAID and disks with the browser of the OMSA interface type, you cannot perform tasks - can not even make a high beam Flash.

  It is a huge problem, because the PERC controllers (H700 and H800, for example) don't allow you to develop virtual using hard drives not Dell disks when you try this during startup in the bios.  (These controllers only allows you to create new virtual disks using drives not Dell).

  This test was conducted using the latest firmware (12.10.4 - 0001 A10) and drivers for the H700 and H800 and multi-server r610 ESXi 5.1.

  Other people with VMWare have been affected by the present?  The only solution is to have two player networks connected to the computer, and create a simple Windows with OMSA, boot in Windows Server to expand the table using OMSA for Windows.

  I would be interested in the comments of others, including those of Dell.  We spent hours on the phone with Dell; This seems to be the only solution.  (Yes, Dell released a firmware version last year that has ceased blocking non Dell readers, but it only works for the creation of a new virtual disk, do not expanding one existing).

  Yes.  It came through a discussion in the Dell | Servers | Discussion of the RAID community.

  en.Community.Dell.com/.../20263442.aspx

  There is a CD bootable linux called OMSA Live that you download from PowerEdge (linux OS) systems management.

  This OMSA PERC H700 and H800 control and allows you to do everything.  When you reconfigure the RAID and the PERC card starts the reconstruction, although it seems risky, you can restart under VMware and the reconstruction of the RAID continues on.  And you can analyze with OMSA for VMware.

• Time-out error waiting for VMware Tools start in the prompt

  Hello people,

  I used PowerCLI 5.5 Release 1 connection to my 5.1.036098 vcenter (ESXi host 5.1.0 1065491 management).

  I'm connected (non secure warning) and be able to start the virtual machines.

  I try to run a task on the network of a VM VMware documentation example below interface.

  The first two commands work fine, but finally it fails with the error below.

  I upgraded VMware tools and hardware to the latest version.

  $vm1 = get-VM-name VM1

  $guest = get-VMGuest $vm1

  $interface = get-VMGuestNetworkInterface - VMGuest $guest - GuestUser password1 administrator - GuestPassword - ToolsWaitSecs 100

  Timeout error while you wait for VMware tools start in the comments.

  
  

  Someone at - it suggestions?

  Thank you

  The 3rd line to access the guest OS via VMware tools that must be installed in the virtual machine.

  There are a number of other prerequisites to be able to make that kind of call.

• support for VMware workstation 7

  Hello

  I looked on the website and to the best of my understanding VmWare Workstation 7 EOL.

  http://www.VMware.com/files/PDF/support/product-lifecycle-matrix.PDF

  Hereby, I understand that there will be no more support for VmWare and forums are essentially the only resource that I can rely on.

  Can anyone confirm that this is correct?

  Thank you.

  This seems to be in line with the policy of support for this product:

  «VMware will offer 2 years in favour of the general availability of a new major version in the support and subscription.»

• A license for VMWare Player?

  I saw the deal for VMWare Fusion for Mac includes a commercial license for VMWare player, so I was wondering, if I buy VMWare Fusion can I use the VMWare Player on my Windows machine license or is there a better way for me to get a commercial version of VMWare player without having to actually buy VMWare Workstation?

  lzrelak wrote: I saw the deal for VMWare Fusion for Mac includes a commercial license for VMWare player

  No, VMware Fusion for Mac does not include a license for VMware Player it's VMware Fusion 5 Professional, which includes the license for VMware Player for commercial use.

  so I was wondering, if I buy VMWare Fusion can I use the VMWare Player license on my Windows machine

  With VMware Fusion 5 professional, Yes

  is there a better way for me to get a commercial version of VMWare player without having to actually buy VMWare Workstation?

  To use VMware Player commercially, buy VMware Fusion 5 license Professional even one chooses or can even use VMware Fusion 5 Professional.  It comes through a convoluted cross-license that VMware has not done a very poor job of marketing and or explain and caused a lot of confusion among some users trying to interpret.

• Y at - it an update for VMware ESX 4.1 update 1?

  Dear friends;

  I heard that VMware releases update for VMware ESX 4.1 update 1. Could you please tell me if this is correct?

  And would you please reference me this article?

  ESX will not available in vSphere 5.0. It will be always supported in the same way that VI 3.5 is still supported, however. Here's an official blog stating that ESX 4.1 is the latest major version of ESX.

  With the release of VMware vSphere 4.1, we announced that 4.1 will be the last version of vSphere to support the ESX and ESXi hypervisor architectures.
