• vSphere client using the name Netbios on ESXi host does not connect using the credentials of a Windows session

  I have 3 ESXi 5.5 hosts, all connected to a single server vCenter, where we try to authenticate directly to the host by using the windows logon credentials. I have installation of the Administrators group of ESX and filled with the admin accounts that I want to be able to authenticate to the host. The Netbios name of the domain is tstdomain (for example) where the domain name is tstdomain.com. If I connect directly to a host and check the checkbox 'Use Windows Session Credentials', the vSphere client will default by using the Netbios name of tstdomain\adminusername and the connection will fail indicating that the username and/or password is incorrect. If I enter the domain name of tstdomain.com\adminusername, I am able to connect to the host without error.

  Does anyone know how get past that this matter have the vSphere client uses the domain name or to use the Netbios name and connect with the credentials to active directory? I looked by editing the file/etc/hosts and checked that the SPN of the host is correct in active directory with the command hostname setspn - l, with no luck on one. I also tried to change the field of research for the Netbios name of tstdomain rather than the tstdomain.com domain name, also did not work.

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions on how to correct the problem.

  Seems that this issue was due to a slow network and the connection timeout when you try to talk to the domain controller. I am able to connect with windows creds now, but the connection is very slow. I increased the default period of 30 to 60 seconds to help work around the problem.

• help with vsphere client

  Hi all

  im a total newbie when it comes to vmware.

  so, basically ive by learning to do visualization by myself because I poweredge 2 1950s during the sitting of the House doing nothing. so ive installed vmware esxi 5.5.0 on my server poweredge 1950 went to the IM address downloaded the vsphere client, put the username root and password waited then it comes up with "cannot complete, connect you because of incorrect username or password" where I can use the same username and password on the server to change the settings and get on no problem that continues?

  Thanks in advance callum

  To me, this looks like a keyboard mapping problem, for example by using a witch of password for example special characters on a non - US keyboard.

  Can you confirm that you have selected the correct keyboard layout during the installation of the host?

  What you can try is to change the password to something simple (for example, no special characters, or ' z/y') to see if that helps you.

• Can I use VMware vSphere Hypervisor™ with vSphere Client?

  It's the question next poped upward.

  -Can I freely use for my business need VMware vSphere Hypervisor™, and what will be the difference with VMware vSphere Starter Kit?

  and

  -Can I use VMware vSphere Hypervisor™ with vSphere Client software for free?

  Yes - it is freely permitted, but he he has limits and lack of features compared to the vSphere Essentials kits. Another thing to note is the absence of vCenter Server to manage multiple ESXi hypervisors with the free version. The backup API are, in my opinion, one of the main obstacles to the use of this.

• ESX4 starts - but takes at least 20 minutes before I can connect with vsphere client!

  Currently, three servers of ESX4. Two months ago, a loss of power and of the restart. Server #1 initialization until the connection to the console without problem. Unable to connect to the server using client vshpere immediately. After 20 minutes, the vsphere client connections began to work.

  Although nothing of him until the #3 server went down today and restarting system apparently came to the console ok, but took 40 minutes before I could connect to it with vsphere client!   Y at - it something stupid I'm missing here? I have not tweaked these boxes, plenty of stock and NO settings have changed since its installation. They never used to take this long!

  Any ideas?

• Cannot access the server from vsphere client

  Hi, people.

  After having been very well for a few weeks, now I'm unable to access my server from vSphere client, I get an error of:

  Call 'ServiceInstance.RetrieveContent' to object 'ServiceInstance' on the server '192.168.6.2' failed.

  I've attached screenshots of the error message.

  The pc and the server are on the same subnet, and the error comes from several PCs that try to connect.

  Help, please!

  NM

  So I think you must restart these services as vivari said.

  If you are unable to log in via ssh, you must have access to the consoles. Then, you can restart the services or enable ssh to do via ssh.

• Homer in Windows Server does not connect to the internet.

  I installed Windows Home Server on a self-built media server. Everything on the hardware is working properly. The server software is installed. The ethernet line is connected to my Linksys router. The power light is on decision-making on the case ethernet connection. The power led is on the router where the ethernet is connected. So, in my view, that the issue is not material.
  Problems:
  1. the server does not connect to the internet.
  2. my computer does not recognize the server when I install the Windows Home Server Connector software.
  3. the wizard of Linksys on my computer does not recognize the server as a "new device".

  I feel like I'm missing a driver, maybe a driver of ethernet controller, but do not know how to diagnose the problem.  I downloaded the Windows tool that identified the problems I listed, but solutions are not feasible.

  Any suggestions?

• Cannot connect to the ESXi 5.5 with VSphere client

  I have a new Dell server. I installed ESXi 5.5. I can ping and SSH in the host, but I can not connect with the vsphere client. I captured the vmkernel and host agent log management. I'm confused now as to what is the cause. I installed ESXi 5.5 on an SD card in the server. And like I said I can ping and SSH in the host.

  OK, I found that it was associated with MTU, MTU under voltage has been set at 1500. These are Dell switches if it matters. I removed the MTU setting for the management ports and then I was able to connect to vsphere with no problems.

• Unable to connect to new ESXi 5.5 with vSphere Client hosts

  Completed the new installation of ESXi 5.5 on two new Dell PowerEdge servers last night.

  Trying to connect to them through the vSphere client fails.

  I can ping both servers without any problems from the server where the vSphere client is installed (it is not a domain controller but a Windows 2003 server - it has not .net 3.5 SP1 is installed).

  If I try to open the IP address of the host in a web browser http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx expires, however, if I try http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:902 It connects to the server, but rather than get the web page, I'm used to waiting with 5.1 I get this message:

  "220 VMware authentication daemon Version 1.10: required SSL, ServerDaemonProtocol:SOAP, MKSDisplayProtocol:VNC, VMXARGS taken in charge, taken NFCSSL in charge." I get this exact message even though I have telnet to port 902.  So I know that I can speak to the host, but have no idea why I can't connect to it or they have the tools to display in a web browser. »

  Try to use the same IP address with port 902 in the vSphere client to connect, I get this error:

  vSphere Client could not connect to "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx".

  A unknown connection error has occurred. (The client received an invalid response from the server. (The server committed a protocol violation. Article = ResponseStatusLine))

  I noticed that there was a lag of 2 hours and 4 minutes between the host server and the client's server.  I have reset the time to match up in the BIOS of the host server.  The test gave the same results.

  Probably unrelated, but throw it out there in case it points to an answer, when executing the "Test management network", ping passes to the default gateway and the DNS server secondary (which is Google 8.8.8.8) but fails for the main DNS (local IP) server and host name resolution is faulty.

  Ideas, help or solution would be much appreciated.  I need to get the network to this customer virtualized this week, and I would prefer not to have to go back to 5.1 if possible.

  Thank you

  This is resolved.

  And it's one of those things that you just kick yourself for.

  I tried this on two servers, Server 2003 and using IE8

  Tested a theory using a VPN to my laptop Windows 8 IE 10 and it has worked perfectly, then tested on a Server 2008 R2 using IE9 and it worked perfectly.

  Installed Chrome on the two Server 2003 servers and worked perfectly.

  So in the end it was IE8 that was not compatible and all the problems at the origin!

  Thanks again to you Andrew for trying to help!

• Workstation / ESXi question - force vSphere Client to enter the CD-ROM drive

  This week I started to develop a practical system at home for me to learn VMware administration and systems.

  I installed ESXi 5 and Windows 7 Workstation 8, which is located in Windows Server 2008 on a server Dell T - 410 have a physical CD/DVD ROM drive.  In Win 7 I have the vSphere client installed and I get successfully to ESXi to manage and install other operating systems, which is where I'm stuck.  Note that, in my computer, I can take my Win 7 OS and in my computer has chosen to "eject" the drive with the OS I want to install.

  I am trying to install several virtual machines and have created two "containers" / "stubs" for these virtual machines (a Red Hat and a Win 2008 Server) but cannot get the vSphere Client interface to take control of the drive and pass it to the open Console.

  It is quite a matrix in the area of the drive options that is available.  What is the secret to be able to do this correctly, because all the videos I watched on YouTube where they are installing a system shows the OS that they install will ESXi very easily after choosing the CD/DVD-ROM drive... time to enter work station, which is where I'm NOT.

  How do I properly set up my CD/DVD-ROM drives in my computer so that ESXi installs the operating system?  I chose each drive letter and the option available but are unable to install the operating system.

  Thank you

  André Pett wrote: I think that we have understood this and that is the reason why WoodyZ mentioned ISO images.

  Yes, thats why I said what I did, and also because it's been a while since I've run ESXi in a VM and when I did I think the only way that I could install the operating system in a virtual machine when ESXi is a virtual computer was too use ISO images, which, of course, since it's my preference anyway it did not matter.  Now I only mention this because I don't remember for sure and using pictures is really the best way to go anyway.  Also, I don't have time to install ESXI in a virtual machine and go through the motions again.

• New Vsphere servers (2), cannot connect with vsphere client

  It's strange, that it is a new construction on 2 new servers. With ESXi5 it really doesn't matter what config install so there is nothing to screw it up, so I did the installation of STD, then tried to connect to the server with the client and I get 'call 'ServiceInstance.RetrieveContent' to object 'ServiceInstance' on the server '10.70.1.20' failed.

  This happens on both servers.

  Other messages suggest it is because of the attempts to connect using HTTP instead of HTTPS, but I do not use a prefix, just the IP address.

  If I type the IP address of the server in a browser, I get the standard server ESXi web page so IP connectivity is fine.

  The other strange bits is that I have 3 ESXi 5 server to different hardware built using the same media that works well.

  The vi client log shows this:

  < type = "VirtualInfrastructure.Exceptions.ConnectionError error" >
  < message > the customer has not received a full response from the server "10.70.1.20". (The underlying connection was closed: an unexpected error occurred during the reception.) < / message >
  < InnerException type = "System.Net.WebException" >
  < message > the underlying connection was closed: an unexpected error occurred on a receive. < / Message >
  < InnerException type = "System.IO.IOException" >
  < message > received an unexpected EOF or 0 bytes of the transport stream. < / Message >
  < / InnerException >
  < Status > ReceiveFailure < / status >
  (snipped)
  If I enable SSH and SSH on the server, try PuTTY gives me an error 'incoming packet was scrambled on decryption.
  It seems therefore that encryption is screwed somehow, but since I can't connect to the server I'm strugglin for troubleshooting options?
  Any ideas?

  https://www.VMware.com/support/vsphere5/doc/vSphere-ESX-vCenter-Server-50-release-notes.html

  From the release notes:

  Using the env of BE2/BE2 Emulex Group (pilot be2net)
  When using vSphere 5.0 with Emulex BE2/BE3 NIC (pilot be2net) in an environment FlexFabric/Flex-10 HP or IBM Virtual fabric adapter (VFA), connectivity may not work properly on virtual machines Windows or server when them VLAN is configured.

  Workaround: Do not use the driver included with vSphere 5.0. Before the upgrade to vSphere 5.0, you can get an updated of Emulex, HP or IBM driver that should be used on HP FlexFabric/Flex-10 or IBM VFA systems.

• Add ESXi hosts to vSphere Client

  We have 7 servers ESX and ESXi 8 servers.

  Six of the ESX servers are sitting in a cluster and the last of them is located in its own cluster.

  It's nice to manage all 7 ESX servers in a vSphere Client.

  8 ESXi servers, I've been managing each with their own vSphere Client connection.

  Is it possible to create a cluster of ESXi in vSphere and add each of the ESXi hosts to this cluster of '? Or even a "cluster"?

  I tried and I get the following error.

  "License not available to perform the operation. ESXi 4 for Host 192.168.1.10 Server license does not include the agent for ESX Server vCenter. Upgrade the license. »

  We don't have a budget to upgrade the more liceneses. I don't mean to make HA or DRS on the ESXi hosts. I'd just like to see servers running on them for purposes of inventory without having to have 9 vSphere customers open.

  We have a license entirely vCenter Server so I think we should be able to add these ESXi servers.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  You must have at least vSphere Standard license for each host you wish to manage with vCenter. Free ESXi cannot be connected to vCenter.

• Very slow access to data on HP MIcroserver Gen8 warehouses. Can not change the system of booking resources with vSphere client.

  I did a clean install of ESXi 6 with HP supplied image (ESXi-6.0.0-2494585-HP-600.9.1.39-Mar2015).
  Access to and from the warehouses of data over network via vSphere Client (6.0.0 - 2502222) is very slow - ~ 10 Mbps (there are several hundred under ESXi 5.5)
  I suspect that ESXi 6 limited CPU resources used by the host to 230 MHz system.
  I can't change the settings 'System Resource Reservation"(unlike ESXi 5.5, where I can change and switch to Simple or advanced mode).

  Hey ArnisR,

  I finally found the problem. In the last 5.5 ESXi and version 6.0, they replaced the driver hpvsa (HP ISO vSphere!). With these drivers, I have known major problems with banks of data and, therefore, the controller B120i (RAID) of the Gen8 MicroServer HP.

  The problem is caused by the last (HP) ISO (from March);

  -Mar2015.iso 5.5.0 - Update2-2403361-HP - 550.9.2.27 VMware ESXi

  -Mar2015.iso 6.0.0 - 2494585-HP - 600.9.1.39 VMware ESXi

  I found out (because I had an older ISO), the ISO VMware ESXi 5.5.0-Update2-2068190-HP-5.77.3-Nov2014.iso works well! With this ISO standard, all performance issues disappeared.

  The difference between the ISO is as follows. The former ISO contains the driver of storage scsi-hpvsa 5.5.0 - 88OEM. ISO (s) of March come with new storage driver scsi-hpvsa 5.5.0 - 92OEM or scsi hpvsa - 5.5.0 - 90. These drivers are the cause of the problems in the controller of B120i!

  Installing ESXi 5.5 or 6 since last ISOs, you must manually install the old driver of storage (SCSI hpvsa - 5.5.0 - 88). I tested with the HPSA file scsi vib - 5.5.0 - 88OEM.550.0.0.1331820.x86_64.vib. Then I adjusted the ISO HP and equipped with the old driver. Now I can install ESXi 5.5 or 6 ISO (custom) of HP, which includes the former driver.

  I hope this helps!
