• Controller RAID Pavilion sees reinstall my biggest records according to the OS, but Windows does not.

  I removed the two 500 GB drives orginal my Pavilion CTO (set at the factory in a RAID 0 configuration) and replace them with two WD Velociraptor 1 TB drives.  I started from my set of recovery operating system (3 DVD) discs and restored the system.  The restoration wrote to one of the disks.  After completing all the starting tips for first time Windows, I ran the utility Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) and rebuilt the RAID 0 volume, taking the option to keep the data residing on the first hard drive.  The accumulation of volume took several hours.

  The bishoprics of controller RAID Intel than drives are drives of 1 TB, and it built a 2 TB RAID 0 volume.  However, even after restarting a few times, total area of 1 to 7 see only Windows on the C: and D: (original image) logical drives, rather than the actual volume of RAID 2 to.

  How can I get Windows to recognize the larger volume?  Is it possible, or is the 1 TB capacity 'wired' somewhere in my system?

  Note that throughout this process, I left "Mode SATA controller" = "RAID" in the BIOS.  In view of the fastest 10 K rpm Velociraptor readers, I am flexible concerning the RAID 0 configuration; two independent readers would be OK, if Windows would recognize their actual size.  So I did a little experiment: I started in the BIOS, change 'Mode SATA controller' = 'IDE', registered and you leave.  The system starts only a car config, so I started another set of my operating system recovery disc restore.  He rewrote the operating system to one or two hard drives (who knows), but then the system would not start, probably because the disks are connected to a hardware controller RAID Intel physical and will therefore work mode controller BIOS to "RAID".  I recycled power, entered the BIOS and changed the mode of controller to "RAID".  As suspects, the system unbootable, so I now have to reinstall the OS with the controller in RAID mode, but before that, I want to determine if there is a way to get Windows to recognize the size of 2 TB.

  Thanks for the advice; always nice to know some utilities, we didn't ever existed.

  As you suggested, I run Diskpart and cleaned the second disc (instant).

  Then I went to control panel > administrative tools > computer management > storage > disk management.

  I clicked in the unallocated disk area second on the graphic display and went through the dialogue to create a new volume and assign a drive letter.  Pretty painless.

  Then, an "Autoplay" window open on the desktop, and there was my second 1 TB drive.

  It's a wonderful world.

  Now, I just have to remove all the bloatware, apply the updates Windows and HP of 3.5 years, reinstall and reconfigure all my apps, reload my data, make some adjustments and call it a day.

  Thanks again.

• Single controller RAID, LUNs, virtual disk groups question does?

  Hi VMware Experts.

  I have 5 servers (each at full load with local SSDS 8 x 1 TB).

  I'm curious:

  1. If I configure raid 5 (I'll have 6 TB per host), how many LUNS / data warehouses should create? Is it important here? In any case, we still have controller raid just unique, right?
  2. If I use VSANS, is there a difference in the answer above? A data store for each host is probably correct? Or because the VSAN configuration: raid0 /passthrough better to create several data warehouses/LUN?
  3. Insights into the performance here?

  Thank you!

  1. Yes, it is ok, because you have no other choice.

  2. you can't do several stores data vsan. A single vsan by cluster data store is possible.

  No matter how many ssd\hdd for each host that you have.

• HP Smart Array P400 and ESXi 5.1

  Hello

  That's probably a discussion for the hardware section but I don't have the permission to publish in there, so I'm posting here.

  I'll be back in 4 X HP Smart Array P400 complete with 512 MB battery Modules.

  Anyone know or have experience with one of these Smart boards and it'll work in a whitebox build? I think I'll have to update the firmware to 7.08, but she mentions that ESX 4, yet it will work? Or that I would be better off the coast through the RAID controller in a server VM window and run it like this? I don't have a motherboard capable of Intel VT - d again, however. Just curious.

  Thank you very much

  Karl

  According to http://www.vmware.com/go/hcl the P400 controller is supported with ESXi 5.1. What you need to keep in mind, is that there is always a problem with the drivers so that you're currently limited to logical volumes ~ 2 TB (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2006942 for more details)

• Update for vsphere client and ESXi host, now getting errors

  Did a upgrade for my client vsphere, VMware-viclient-all - 6.0.0 - 3016447.exe file name

  Now I cannot view comments consoles, cannot add new guest OS (option is grayed out), and I get an error when the Client program starts (see first image)

  

  Here is the error when I try to view the console to the guest operating system. Can I use Remote Desktop connection to connect to the guest operating system (R2 for Windows Server 2012)

  

  Here is the version information

  

  Also improved the host system of the ESXi server to update to U1 using the VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 6.0.0.update01 - 3029758.x86_64.iso

  VMWare Tools never seems to complete the installation for the guest operating system.

  What can I do now?

  Client runs on a desktop computer Windows 7 Pro with 24 GB of RAM.

  ESXi is a server Dell Poweredge T110-2 with 32 GB of RAM

  I ran into the same issue and Re: VMware-viclient-all - 6.0.0 - 3016447.exe broke Console hosts 6.0 ESXi and ESXi 5.5 fixed it for me.

• Store of data sharing between 4 ESX and ESXi 5

  Hello

  I have a vSphere environment 4.1 with a vCenter and a cluster of 3 ESX 4.1 access to the content of data through fiberchanel (type scneario) warehouses.

  And now I need to install a new ESXi 5.x (cannot be a different version) in a separate environment, outside of the current vCenter, BUT to access the warehouses of data even as the cluster of vSphere 4 current.

  Anyone know if there should be no problem sharing between 4 ESX and ESXi 5 access to the same data storage?

  Thanks in advance

  As long as the FC zoning is configured properly, avoid all the problems.   ESXi 5 will be able to see the data created by ESX4 VMFS3 stores, it will not be able to create the same size of virtual machine he can on a 5 VMFS datastore.

• vMotion between hosts 4 ESXi and ESXi 5

  I have a group of ESXi 4.x hosts connected to a vCenter Server 4.1.  I have an another 5.1 vCenter Server Management 5.1 hosts.  I want to move my hosts ESXi 4.1 in my 5.1 vCenter Server and upgrade to 5.1.

  Since vCenter 5.1 can manage ESXi 4.x and 5.1 hosts in the same cluster (KB VMware: upgrading vCenter Server 5.1 recommended)

  Could I add my 4.x hosts to vCenter 5.1 and put them in maintenance mode one by one and then upgrade?  I'd be able to vmotion the VMs between my 4.x and ESXi hosts 5.1?

  The goal is to reduce or hopefully elimate downtime for virtual machines.

  Thank you!

  You can get the upgrade with no interruption of service, if you can:

  (a) connect the storage 4.1 hosts FC 5.1 guests, so it is shared by all hosts

  or

  (b) your license allows you to storage vMotion the VMS to storage of 5.1 hosts

  The normal steps would be:

  -Disconnect the 4.1 hosts the vCenter 4.1

  -Connect the 5.1 vCenter

  -connect storage 4.1 for the 5.1 hosts or Storage vMotion the VMs on

  -vMotion the VMs to 5.1 hosts

  -upgrade the 4.1 hosts

• 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.

  Kind regards

  MelLvin

  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    }
  
      $rootFolder = Get-Folder -Name ha-folder-root    Try{        $account = Get-VMHostAccount -Id $accountName -ErrorAction Stop |        Set-VMHostAccount -Password $accountPswd -Description $accountDescription -AssignGroups $groupName    }    Catch{        $account = New-VMHostAccount -Id $accountName -Password $accountPswd -Description $accountDescription -UserAccount -GrantShellAccess -AssignGroups $groupName    }

• Command to get the name of VC, DC, Clu and ESXi to a VM

  Commanders:

  Am currently manages 8 VCs (vSphere 5) through vSphere clinet. So seeking a particular VM in all the VCs became horrible in this situation. Using PowerCLI to make this job easier. So I installed 5 PowerCLI and connected my VCs.

  I need a command line to search for a virtual machine, which returns the name of VC, Datacenter Name, name of Cluster and ESXi Hostname. I know it's a single line and very easy work for you guys to answer.

  Thanks in advance!

  Try something like that, is not the quickest, but it should give you all the values

  Get-VM MyVM |Select Name,@{N="ESX";E={$_.VMHost.Name}},  @{N="Cluster";E={Get-Cluster -VM $_ | Select -ExpandProperty Name}},  @{N="Datacenter";E={Get-Datacenter -VM $_ | Select -ExpandProperty Name}},  @{N="vCenter";E={$_.ExtensionData.Client.ServiceUrl.Split('/')[2]}}
  

• What is the interval of time between the virtual machine Linux and ESXi host synchronization?

  I have ESX5.0 with a centos6 installed on this linux virtual machine.

  After the installation of vmware for Linux virtual machine tools, I activated the time synchronization between the virtual machine linux and ESXi host through vmware-toolbox-cmd.

  I wonder what is the interval of time between the virtual machine linux and ESXi host synchronization? If I quickly time OS system, when the OS system time will sync back to the ESXi host?

  According to http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/Timekeeping-In-VirtualMachines.pdf:

  By default, the demon checks the guest only once per minute operating system clock.

  However, depending on whether the guest is behind or in front of the result is different. So, please read the section "periodic synchronization" (at least) in the document mentioned above.

• Script - missing and hotfixes installed for ESX and ESXi

  Can I have the script i.e. missing and hotfixes installed for ESX and ESXi using the CLI power only? out put should be csv format

  You reset the content of the table $Results on each iteration of the baseline.

  Try like this

  $Results = @()
  foreach($esx in Get-VMHost) {
    foreach($baseline in (Get-Compliance -Entity $esx -Detailed | where {$_.Status -eq "NotCompliant"})){
      $Results += $baseline.CompliantPatches |    Select @{N="Host";E={$esx.Name}},    @{N="Status";E={"Compliant"}},    @{N="Baseline";E={$baseline.Baseline.Name}},Name,ReleaseDate,IdByVendor,    @{N="KB";E={(Select-String "(?http://[\w|\.|/]*\w{1})" -InputObject $_.Description).Matches[0].Groups['url'].Value}}
  
      $Results += $baseline.NotCompliantPatches |    Select @{N="Host";E={$esx.Name}},    @{N="Status";E={"NotCompliant"}},    @{N="Baseline";E={$baseline.Baseline.Name}},Name,ReleaseDate,IdByVendor,    @{N="KB";E={(Select-String "(?http://[\w|\.|/]*\w{1})" -InputObject $_.Description).Matches[0].Groups['url'].Value}}
    }
  }
  $Results
  

  It will give the installed and lack of patches which are defined in the non-compliant baslines related to the ESXi host.

  If you want to see all the lines, also the most consistent, omit the Where clause on the base line (foreach) loop.

• ESX and ESXi

  What are the fundamental differences between ESX and ESXi. Someone could it say please interview point of view. Just need about 4 to 5 differences.

  Thank you

  Prashant

  The difference between ESX and ESXi, ESX was the classic version with a dedicated Service console embarked with him, however, ESXi is the version of Vsphere without the Console service. Because ESXi is without the service console, so its size is very small and its called summer have footprint small disc. With the release of VSphere VMware 5.0 and later versions has deprecated the classic ESX version there is therefore no now unavailable ESX and we only ESXi now.

• Differences between ESX and ESXi

  Hai,

  As I am new to VI environment I doubt that where features ESX and ESXi are different, it may be stupid but can help me a lot.

  Hello

  Please check the link to the differences between ESX and ESXi below.

  http://www.VMware.com/products/vSphere/ESXi-and-ESX/compare.html

  Please note ESX is present in version 3.x, 4.x. starting vsphere 5.0, we have only ESXi.

  ESXi doesnot have a service console and has the smallest footprint of 70 MB and so is safer and more reliable, because it has a smaller surface set.

  Please allow points if you find the article useful.
