connecting the new host of vmfs - what could go wrong?

I just set up a new server ESXi 4.1, and I want to assign a logical unit number that contains a VMFS (v3.33) data store used by 4 ESXi 4.0 hosts.  I did this procedure several times before (no thanks to the combination of versions of the host, though), but I still get nervous.

Is there a chance that something bad could happen to my data store when I connect the new host to it, or it's just my OCD Act?

If you follow the above instructions to Dave, you have nothing to fear - if you take the right approach by being very careful with storage issues.

Changes in versions should make no difference at all, as long as lon as all the ESX host attached to storage support the version of the data that store connect you.

Good luck - and don't stress!

  • Replacement of host existing with the new host/material

    We are trying to replace our old 5.0 ESXi hosts that cannot be upgraded to ESXi 5.1 with new hardware that will support ESXi 5.1 and beyond.  Existing hosts are members of a cluster of vCenter vCenter has been updated to the latest version  We are preinstalled ESXi 5.1 on new hosts and tried to set them up according to the configurations of existing hosts, except for host names and network IPs management.

    First of all, are we on track to replace existing hosts?

    Second, what are the next steps we would take?

    We have read the various messages that seem to follow the steps below, but want to ensure that our incense are applied correctly, we don't miss any major or minor measures, for iSCSI, reusing names existing ESXi hosts and IPs or something else causing the replacement to fail.

  • Problems with the new host VMware ESXi 5.0

    We have a dell blade chassis, with 4 710 blades and 8 610 the 710's have 12 network cards and the 610's have only 6 network adapters. I added a new host on one of the 610's and two network adapters in each of the networks belonging to virtual infrastructure. 1 mgmt 2. ISCSI 3. vmnetwork

    My problem is that the new host can see all the resources but I can't move the VM from the hosts to the host 610 710. I get an error because nic 2 on the 710 host is not in the same network as nic 2 on the 610. It seems silly that I wouldn't be able to do that just because the hardware is not identicle.

    I have three vswitches, vswitch0 for management, vswitch1 for the iSCSI network of shared storage, vswitch2 for the network of the vm.

    Thanks for any help.

    Material is not identical not should not have an impact.

    The vSwitch port group to which are connected the NICs in question is named identically on both hosts?  If they have a different name, vSphere considers different networks.

  • [HELP] Problem with the restoration and recovery in the new host

    Hi, guys!

    I have tried for two days, but still can't make it work.
    I took a hot (online) full backup archive as well as the control file logs with the SPFILE and then copy the backup to the new host with the same directory structure and parameters. Finally, I tried to restore and recover the database on the new host, but failed during the restore process.

    The original host and the new host have the same subject Oracle installed until the patch level. I couldn't understand the solution to this problem based on my knowledge on Oracle DB.

    Could someone help me out here? Any advice would be appreciated!

    Thanks in advance!

    In short, the RCS of the controlfile will be generally higher than corresponding SCN of the data in the event of hot backup (online) file; However, the two SNA will be the same in the case of cold (off-line) backup. Am I entitled?

    Yes, it's true. In a backup cold (assuming that the CLOSURE was not a SURRENDER but was NORMAL, TRANSACTIONAL, or IMMEDIATE) all files in the database (data files, redo log and controlfiles files) are 'compatible' - at the same point in time, to the same SCN. In a hot backup, the files are updated. RMAN is not necessarily take all the data files at the same time - for example when you have several data files, RMAN would backup the files in batches of 4 or 8 - data files are therefore controlled at different points in time. Similarly, the controlfile is saved last.

  • After that I changed the Duplex parameter on NIC's Service console, I am not able to connect the ESX host

    Hi all

    Please help solve my problem.

    After that I changed the Duplex parameter on NIC's Service console, I am unable to connect the ESX host. How can I reset the 100 MB NETWORK card duplex. Can someone help me please.

    Concerning

    Vijay

    Hello

    As the bulb you have two problems that are not related.

    (1) duplex setting, your switch and NIC must match. If one is assigned to auto-negotiation, then the other must be set to auto-negotiation. Personally, I tend to let auto-negotiation unless there is an absolute reason to spend. If you then turn on the both sides of the interface, the switch port and esxcfg-NICS allows you to change the duplex, etc.

    (2) passwords for root are not related to the network unless you have also run esxcfg-auth authentication remote.  The only time I saw what you have here is when the system is configured to try to authenticate remote and not locally.

    The two problems are fixable by booting into single-user mode, set the duplex and reset the password.

  • SSI does not not on the new host

    Hello

    Moved site to a new host, and the SSI is does not load correctly. I copied the complete site for the new host, and I'm sure everything is copied across. I had no problem at all, configuration, and use of SSI on the old host. According to the cpanel, in Apache handlers, SSI is enabled on the new host. Only the name servers point to the former host still, until I can get the new one works fine.

    "I used DW to create the code originally, like <!--virtual="/ssi/rhs.html #include "-->

    where ssi is the folder that contains the two include files.

    New hosted site is here http://ans25.midphase.com/~saacpar0/

    Old site with SSI work is here http://www.saac.com.au/

    Can anyone help on this please?

    Thank you Alan and Murray.

    I thought that it could be something like the temporary site link. Thanks for your info on this Alan.

    Murray, thanks for you comments as well. Set them too.

  • Anyone with the problem of not show apple tv on the same wifi to connect the new application remote control (with the last operating system both on device)?

    Tried to connect the new (launched in July 2016) Apple Remote app, I'm not able to add the Apple Tv from my iphone (5 c), because it does not show apple tv to connect even on the same wifi. I use the latest os on iphone and TVos 9.3.3.

    9.3.3 isn't the latest version of the software for your phone or your Apple TV.

    Try the following steps for the Apple TV 4, check if things work after each step if necessary, before you try the next.

    1. Restart the Apple TV (settings > system > restart).
    2. Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL cables for 30 seconds.
    3. Restart your router. (Also try to remove the power cord for at least 30 seconds)

    Hi all. Sorry for my ignorance but I'm completely new to vmware. I picked up a client who curently ESX 3.5 and Vcenter 2.5 running on Server 2003. I want to move it to a new host of 2008 and updated server to Vcenter 4.1. I've read some suggestions that a clean install would be better vs an upgrade. I'm really looking for the fastest solution that will allow me to manage the virtual machine in the new host of 2008 with vCenter 4.1. Please give me a few pointers (possibly hand holding ) on this process. Thank you!

    Using Lr test, I managed to copy photos in the Catalogue and in development. Now, I want to use the photo developed/published as master and delete the original. So using the "modified" as the new source version. What is the process to do this?

    This is to manually remove the master files. But are you sure you want to do this? Especially if these files are raw files? If you do, you throw a lot of precious image data. Remember that the main files are completely intact and in their original state at any time. The catalog stores all the changes that you make. But if you really want to delete your master files, you need just to delete them individually or as a group.
