  Hello

  It is possible to connect different SAN 2 on the same ESX Server?

  Thank you

  Yes... Just plug them together in the same fabric and area available LUN like you did with the first.

• Connect an ESX host 4.0 in a store of data VMFS 3.31 with vMotion, and ESX 3.5 hosts

  Hello

  I moved 2 x a new vCenter 4.0 3.5 ESX hosts.  I also have a new ESX 4.0 host.

  Can I connect this ESX host 4.0 for the data store using the 2 x ESX 3.5 hosts?  It is a VMFS 3.31 on a CX3-20 SAN data store. I was then going to vMotion virtual machines to the new host and reinstall the old.

  I just fear that the new ESX 4.0 host will do something to the data store that make it incompatible with the older ESX 3.5 servers.

  Thanks in advance,

  Euan

  Yes, you can connect and use these data with ESX versions warehouses. If you have sVMotion it will work as well. On ESX 3.5 you can only move the guest as a whole on an ESX 4.0 host, you can move the vDisks independently.

  It is perhaps unnecessary, but when I update the ESX 3.5 servers 4.0 I unplug the storage until the update is running. Just in case...

• Cannot add the ESX 6.0 host to vCenter Server 6.0

  OK, I'm testing laboratory a vsan 6.0 cluster.

  I have my running 6.0.0 esx hosts and vcenter server is 6.0.0 also.

  I have the services platform on a virtual machine and vcenter on another. I was able to create a data center, then a cluster below.

  Then I went to try to add a host to my group and I get this error...

  Failed to contact the specified host (hostname\IP). The host may not be available on the network, may have a network configuration problem, or that the management on this host services may not respond.

  
  

  Per this KB: KB VMware: Add a host VMware ESXi/ESX from VMware vCenter Server fails

  
  

  I confirmed that my vcenter server and platform services server can see all esx hosts. From the vcenter server, it can ping the host esx and PuTTY can access all of them. I even installed the client and it can connect to all esx hosts. I used the netbios name, IP and FULL domain name and they all work.

  I have only a single subnet, so this isn't a problem. DNS resolution works in all areas of both sides, vcenter esx hosts and host esx to vcenter.

  
  

  I am quite puzzled.
  

  
  

  
  

  OK, after working with VMware on this issue, I think that I thought about it.

  All my hosts are DL360 G6 servers.

  My hosts are run the same build «VMware-ESXi-6.0.0-2494585-HP-600.9.2.38-Mar2015.iso» ESX Downloaded from HP.

  All buildings are in trial mode.

  After placing a call to VMware, they had me build some ESX VM, the services of the platform and the vcenter VM on an ESX host. We suspended because it took all day to go upward.

  Once I woke up all the parts (sql server, esx vm, server platform & vcenter) in virtualization nested, I created my data center, then Cluster then added the ESX host.

  The hosts added properly, no error. Then I remembered when I installed ESX inside a virtual machine, I am angry that the iso, I had the habit of HP does not work in my VM nested due to virtualized hardware.

  Then a fire came into my head. We will rebuild all of the physical cluster but NOT use the CV provided the iso file but use VMware provided iso file "VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 6.0.0 - 2159203.x86_64.iso".

  I did it today. I have rebuilt all hosts with the provided iso file VMware ESX...

  Spun SQL Server vCenter, service platform, all VM VM VM you need. My AD & DNS VM are on another server, so he has been upwards all the time.

  Connected to the web interface (yuck!).

  Created my data center...

  Created my Cluster...

  Add all my Cluster hosts.

  All of this worked!

  Therefore, if you encounter the same problem, I'm plan to generate your with the provided iso file VMware ESX hosts and try it. In my case, the provided HP iso file didn't work properly for me.

  I also downloaded the iso file of HP 2 other times to make sure and do a validation test and it did the same thing.

• Need a powercli script to create a new account a local administrator on all ESX and ESXi hosts in the vcenter

  Hi all

  If someone can help me with a powercli script to create a new account a local administrator on all ESX and ESXi hosts in the vcenter, create a role called admin and give all access except the root. This shoulb be past by a virtual centre.

  Very much appreciated to help him.

  I suspect that you posted your question to the wrong thread

  This requires only a minor change to the script above actually.

  Something like that

  $groupName = "group"$accountName = "user"$accountPswd = "password"$accountDescription = "A user"
  
  $esxlist = Get-VMHostforeach($esx in $esxlist){    Connect-VIServer -Server $esx -User root -Password "password"
  
      Try {      Get-VMHostAccount -Id $groupName -Group -ErrorAction Stop | Out-Null    }    Catch {      New-VMHostAccount -Id $groupName -GroupAccount | Out-Null    }

• Is it possible to use GPFS or another build is a SAN storage shared for multiple ESX and ESXi hosts?

  We have a license GPFS and SAN storage. I am trying to create a storage shared for multiple ESX and ESXi hosts share existing virtual machines. We tried once NFS, it of a little slow and consume too much bandwidth LAN.

  Anyone can help answer? Thank you very much in advance!

  It depends on your storage space.

  You must connect all hosts to the same San, then follow the configuration guide of ESXi and specific documentation for your storage space (for sharing LUNS on multiple hosts).

• Manage ESX 4.1i hosts to vCenter 4.0 Server

  We currently have an installation vCenter 4.0 with a bit of configuration inside.  It handles 8 ESXi 4.0 hosts.   We recently inherrited 2 4.1 ESXi hosts and wish to manage these hosts with the server vCenter 4.0.   The hosts are across a firewall.  We opened all the ports required by the firewall and no longer see no traffic blocked at the firewall level.   Successfully, we can add 4.1 guests to our installation vcenter but in 10 seconds to set up communications, vCenter loses its connection to the 4.1 hosts.   Is it possible that the issue we have is that agent vCenter 4.0 is not compatible with ESX 4.1i hosts before?    Thank you.

  We recently inherrited 2 4.1 ESXi hosts and wish to manage these hosts with the server vCenter 4.0.

  Have you read the manual?  You must be at 4.1 to manage 4.1 hosts, period.

  Is it possible that the issue we have is that agent vCenter 4.0 is not compatible with ESX 4.1i hosts before?

  Is it true, what keeps you upgrade to 4.1?  It is a piece of cake, takes every 10 minutes.

• Help with a conversion from an ESX 4.0 host ESXi4.1

  Hi all

  I'm new to VMware. I was given a task to virtualize infrastructure. I bought 3 dell 610's with 64 GB of ram and an equallogic SAN 6000. I have all three new hosts and the SAN in collaboration with a few virtual machines running in it as it is. I have the advanced VMware license. I also have VMCenter installed and working.

  What I need help on is the following:

  I have a computer host running ESX 4.0 with a local storage with exchange 2003 and windows 2008 r2 server x 64 running on it. How can I move the two virtual machines to the SAN, and then upgrade to the host ESX to ESXi 4.1?

  Kind regards

  CG

  Hello

  As Scott says, you simply add the host in vCenter Server and connect the ESX to the San.  Then you can migrate your VMS (virtual machines must be turned off) from the existing to the new host.

  If for some reason you cannot connect the host to the SAN, then you can try with vCenter Converter to do a V2V conversion to migrate your virtual machines.

  Finally, there is no way to upgrade from ESX to ESXi, so you need to do a clean install of ESXi on your existing host.

  Best wishes / Saludos

• I can't connect to the internet via my host after uninstalled antivirus software and restart

  I can't connect to the internet via my host after uninstalled antivirus software and restart it.

  I use windows xp on my host computer and all computers in my client. After that I uninstalled the free trial NIS version and restart my host, I lost the internet connection. Tried to restore with the restoration of the system, but when I restarted it, it said the system restore could not be made. I changed it then with my laptop and I can connect to the internet as the host.

• Upgrading memory on ESX 3.5 hosts

  Hi all

  We are trying to upgrade the memory of our esx 3.5 hosts.  If we properly close the guests, then we properly stop the host, will be the guests of vmotion.  According to me, they won't, but I was curious to know if it is happen.

  If the guests are turned off, then stop you hosts, there is no HA/DRS.  All guests will stay in an engine out of State until the ESX host come back online.

  If you have vCenter with vMotion/DRS, you can do a rolling upgrade.  vMotion all guests to another host in the cluster, put vacuum host in maintenance mode, it off, add RAM, if power return, exit maintenance mode.  Rinse and repeat.

• ESX or ESXi host upgrade procedure...

  Respected VMware Experts,

  I'm three differrent customer support and upgrading ESX3.5 host ESX 4 Update 2 following is the scenario of the same thing.

  1) I have a Standalone ESX host 3.5, need to upgrade to ESX 4. Update 2.

  Local storage = 2 to (entirely used by 3 VMs)

  3 VMs

  What precautions should I take before upgrading ESX 3.5 to ESX 4 Update 2. What are the steps and details for upgrade ESX3.5 to ESX 4 Update 2, without losing any data (VMs). I do not have hard drives to back up virtual machines 3

  2) on the second site, I have a Standalone ESX host 3.5 requires upgrading to ESX 4 Update 2.

  SAN = 3 TB storage

  5 virtual machines

  What precautions should I take before upgrading ESX 3.5 to ESX 4 Update 2. What will be the prerequisite steps and details for upgrade ESX3.5 to ESX 4 Update 2, without losing the VMs data.

  3) third host ESX from Site 2 setting set in a cluster environment VMware 3.5 to ESX ESX 4 Update 2.

  SAN shared storage = 2 to

  7 VM

  What precautions should I take before upgrading ESX 3.5 to ESX 4 Update 2. What will be the prerequisite steps and details for upgrade ESX3.5 to ESX 4 Update 2, without losing the VMs data.

  Those who have done this several times and created a POS, will be very useful to read 100 pages PDF to do the same.

  Concerning

  MrVMware9423

  (1) check if your hardware supported vSphere 4.1

  (2) suggest upgrade to ESXi instead of ESX

  (3) make sure that you update your vCenter server first and vCetner 4.1 will run only x 64-bit Windows systems

  (4) for the stand-alone version you have separated RAID for ESX and store data if so you can just format the drive on which ESX is installed

  (5) for the site with SAN storage disconnect from host to storage and re - join

  Make sure that the upgrade guide is reviewed

• Upgrading to ESX 3.5 host to ESXi 4.1 where the VCenter is installed on the guest system

  Hello

  I try to find measures to upgrade to ESX 3.5 host to ESXi 4.1 where the vCenter Server 4.1 is installed on the system of comments on this host.

  Any suggestions are welcome.

  Thank you

  Should I move the virtual machines from the first RAID at one of the others? Whipe then come out the scores and perform ESXi 4.1 installation?

  Yes, it's a way to do this.

  Unfortunately, the ESXi 4.1 installation wipe the disk to complete installation (or logical volume) as you have experienced. Assuming that "logical partitions VMFS" you mentioned are logical volumes actually created in the RAID configuration (presented as individual of the operating system disks), you can migrate the virtual machine that is currently stored on data store of the installation disk to a data store on one of the other logical disks and then install ESXi.
