    Hi Nicky,

    You can find a patch fixed the issue that should solve your

    to reduce the memory usage by disabling the plugins that vmware
    Buy adding to agent.properties:

    plugins.include = VMware

    You can also change the max heap size in agent.properties:
    agent.javaOpts =-Xmx128m

  • Problem installing ESX server 3i 3.5


    Hello

  • Why can't I view all of the processor AMD under ESX Server 4.1 information?

    Dear Sir.

    Our server ESX 4.1 uses the AMD CPU as below.

    Processor AMD MAGNY-COURS, 8 cores, 1.86 GHz, D1, G34r1, 512 KB, 85W, 12 MB,

    Why we cannot see the complete information of the processor AMD under ESX Server 4.1?

    Some of the items would be "unknown". Please refer to the attachment "cpu.jpg" and "F01.jpg".

    In addition, hyperthreading is always displayed "inactive". Is this correct?

    Please refer to the attachment "hyperthreading.jpg" and "report.jpg.

  • Legend on the screen of the ESX Server

    Because of the problem on the motherboard, I put hard disks that stood on the raid1 in to another server in x 3550 IBM.

    After the reconstruction of hard drive (raid 1) and when ESX started, I saw a strange legend.

    In my ESX server appeared with a caption in red letters:

    "(TSC: cpu0 1918613 ) Init: 461: The Disable/No run run CPU is enabled for this machine.

  • Withdrawal of an ESX Server processor

    We have an idea in our Department to remove a few processors of our ESX servers (they are just sitting around 8% use with 7-10 VMS on each one).

    I was wondering if someone has a licensed power off ESX Server and done this before. The pointers, advice?

    I see it like this big, they are licensed per processor , so if we take away a single processor and boot it upward it will see has 1 processor and then we can use the license to bring up another 1 CPU ESX host. Processors are 3.33 MHz quad cores so I think it can handle pretty much anything we through him (keeping exchange and sql machines on proc dual ESX host with a lot of RAM however).

    So there you have it, someone at - it ideas? I wanted to just post there and see what the consensus was in the community. Thank you!

    Your problem around removing a processor might be the memory.

    New multi core processors must sit with cards memory who speaks directly with the cpu because of the multiplicity of carrots and speeds.

    Remove so a processor could cause your boot box without removing the memory associated with the cpu.

    But registration and esx, point of view, if the box of boots it should work. Definitely something I've never done.

  • Unable to virtualize the host esx Server quadcore AMD Barcelona B3

    I have a server with AMD Quad Core CPU Barcelona B3 32 GB of RAM. I installed ESX 4.0 update1 on it successfully. After that, I try to virtualize esx server on this server. I added the new virtual machine with a standard configuration. When I try to boot the cdrom ESX4.0 I get the error message shown in the attachment.

    I tried with esx 3.5 and 4. Same mistake.

    cpuinfo on the esx host recognizes that UC is B3.

    I would be grateful no work around for this work.

    Thanks in advance

    It seems that your host is in an EVC cluster configured for Opterons third generation.  VCA usurps the guest not to not CPUID settings for a 'lowest common denominator' CPU, which is, unfortunately, a B2.  Try to remove the EVC cluster host.

    I have a server ESX 3i, 3.5.0 build from 207095 and I'm trying to update with the latest patch (ESXe350-201302401-O - SG.zip) which I copied to a folder on the local drive:

    "/ vmfs/volumes/OS-Datastore/Patches / '.

    I run the commands:

    ... as well as

    "esxupdate install /vmfs/volumes/OS-Datastore/Patches/ESXe350-201302401-O-SG.zip d.

    ... and it is for me to give a new prompt. That means that means and why I can't update my installation?

    I also extracted the original zip file and created these sub zip files:

    "ESXe350-201302401-I - SG.zip".

    "ESXe350-201302401-T - BG.zip" and

    "ESXe350-201302401-C - SG.zip.

    VMware KB: Image of ESXi Server 3.5 June 2011 Rollup CD

    I missed an update and for this reason I have to do a clean install as shown in the link above.

    My version can't do any update or update more!

    What you need to know about the key Secure Update *.

    (

    ESXi Server 3.5 June 2011 Rollup CD image (2000593)

    This Installable CD contains ESX Secure Key Update ESXe350-201012401-I-BG.

    For more information about this fix, see Critical Impact: VMware ESXi 3.5, Patch ESXe350-201012401-I-BG: apply this hotfix to continue to apply patches on the ESXi 3.5 hosts after June 2011 (1030002).

    NOTE: If you have not applied this patch by June 1, 2011, you will not be able to then apply patches. To get your updated hosts up-to-date with ESX Server 3i 3.5 version is to apply this Installable CD as new installation. You can also switch to ESXi 4.0 Update 1 Installable.

    Thanks for your suggestions... at least it has led me to the answer.

    A clean install to come!

  • How do you know what was the latest patch installed on VMware ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0 207095

    Hello guys,.

    I've been running an old server that was installed in a test system on workstation DELL - Optiplex GX620 (32 bit).

    During installation, I had to confirgure the file: /usr/lib/vmware/installer/Core/TargetFilter.py to change the following line:

    "interface returned. GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_IDE' as follows:

    "interface returned. GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_ISCSI' this is it worked and I used it for 3 years now. However, right now, I was hoping to be updated with the latest patches and updates and I do not know if I just ESX or ESXi, or what was my last update, and what it takes then.

    I used this command to get the following result:

    # vmware - v

    VMware ESX Server 3i 3.5.0 build-207095

    ... I think that the 3i says I have an ESXi 3.5.0 but build 207095 the buid even as ESXi 3.5.0 patch 5?

    If this is not the case, how should I do to update? What is the KB # I should download?

    I can manage using vSphere Client 5.5 and I can't SSH using PuTTY.

    Note: When I run... "# esxupdate - bundle = ESXe350-201302401-I - SG.zip updated ' of in the folder where his property in the data store, nothing happens... just a new line scrolls.

    Also...

    ... is there any update for this system? I therefore believe that the patch software etc was not around when I was installing this server in 2010.

    Based on KB http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1014508 you run ESX 3.5 Update 5.

    Nano: not found

    Vim: not found

    When I tried to open the file snmp.xml.

    You can use vi, especially if you know vim, vi will not be much difference.

  • ESX Server 3.5 upgrade auf 4.1

    Hallo community values,

    ICH stehe vor einem is small problem und ich möchte euch einen overview binding kurz:

    • -2 x VMware ESX Server 3.5.0 build 130756 (Clustermode, Dell Poweredge M600, Xeon X 5460, 32 GB of RAM)
    • -12 VMs (Win2k3 + Win2k8)
    • -VMware Virtual Center Server 2.5.0.64228
    • -VMware Infrastructure Client 2.5.0.64228
    • -VMware Update Manager 1.0.0.63985

    Wie ihr an den Versionen seht, wurde das Szenario recht und ich darf nun hand dress is stiefmütterlich. Are das Ziel und meine Aufgabe ist, die sich infrastructure auf die aktuellste mógliche (ESX 4.1 ware dies laut ESX Compatibility Guide U3) zu heben. Planned do ware:

    • -Host ESX al auf ESX Server 3.5 Update 5
    • -Removal of guest VMs auf vCenter Server 4.1.0.17435 und der
    • -Update auf der hosts 4.1 U3
    • -Squad der VMware tools VMs auf den
    • -If necessary. Ein update the vCenters 5.5, muss ich mich noch inform ob possible ist dies auf mit den 4.1er hosts.

    Leider komme ich nicht sehr weit.

    Die Baseline as Update 5 is connected und ist mit dem Update Manager. Der ist im Wartungsmodus ESX host. Wenn ich "updates Auf prufen" go out ich das event "Fehler beim Prüfen von ESXHost auf updated" von dem Benutzer com.vmware.vcIntegrity.

    Die questions:

    WO ich hand dress should? Wo finde ich ein detailliertes journal zu den C.a.i.? There're zu der be possibly Tipps oder Anderungsvorschlage eurerseits do?

    Danke im Voraus.

    ICH sprach von Version 4.1 therefore, weil erwahnt oben the hattest "Das Ziel und meine Aufgabe ist es, die sich infrastructure auf die aktuellste mógliche (ESX Compatibility Guide ware ESX 4.1 U3 dies laut) zu heben". Durchgehend Wenn Version 5.1 (für die ESXi hosts, eingebaute Komponenten wie NW maps..., storage system) supported the ist, ist dies of course also possible. Die die aktuell probably VM mit HW Version 4 laufen should damit auch laufen (see http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2007240)

    Die Lizenzkeys as ESX and ESXi sind die gleichen und wenn eine aktive subscription As (oder zum als vSphere covered at least 5 released wurde hattest) you can the uber das my VMware die auf die Version upgraden equivalent licenses portal.

    Hello experts,

    I installed vmware workastation v 7.0 and I also have VMWare ESX Server training Trainsignal dvd for training so here are my questions:

    Can I install VMware vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 on my VMWare Workstation 7.0 for training v?

    Is - this VMWare vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 product different from VMWare ESX Server 3.5?

    I'm you ask all these questions because I want to be sure I can complete a training with VMWare vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 suite drive of my Trainsignal VMWare ESX Server 3 and because I am not allowed to download the evaluation version on VMWare ESX Server 3 and because the VMWare customer service could not answer my simple question and quoted me to the community by them to get advice.

    Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

    Hi nasolsi,

    Can I install VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5 straight on my VMWare Workstation 7 training without affecting my HDD physical whole?

    Yes, it has nothing to do with your actual score and highlights form the part of space, he took from your partition to create the disk of the virtual machine. So basically it will eat the space in the physical partition but does nothing else like the formatting of the entire disk.


    and the performance on my PC?

    No, this will not affect your PC's performance as the workstation will run the pages of RAM and cycles on your physical PC hardware microprocessor.


    If permitted increase RAM by a value so that you do not encounter CMTF or any other problem. 2048MB is the minimum memory required to run ESXi.

  • Data growing in vmware esx server disk 3

    Hi, I have been asked by a colleague If I can be useful to expand d: ------disc on an existing virtual windows server 2003.

    They use:

    VMware ESX Server 3i Version 3.5.0 Build 110271

    VMware Infrastructure Client Version 2.5.0 build 119826

    Is it possible to extend the disc in vSphere clienten, start by clicking on the edit \ disk and then expand the *. wmdk file of 25 GB to 40 GB? After this connection in the server and expand the disk using a few better disk expansion program.

    / T.

    Yes, it should work even with the virtual machine. After having developed the virtual disk in the graphical interface, connect to the virtual machine Windows 2003 (or open the console or via the administrative RDP session) and rescan storage in disk management. Assuming that the data disk has only one partition or is the last partition on the disk and does not have the file exchange/swapfile on it, you may even be able to extend disk space by using the diskpart command-line utility.
