• ESXi to Cisco custom Esxi 6.0 6.0

  Hi all

  We have a doubt about the normal migration of Esxi to Cisco Custom Esxi,

  Could you help us please?

  The procedure looks like a normal esxi update?

  We would be able to deploy windows and other OS VM in the Cisco Custom Esxi?

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  Kind regards.

  The difference between relase OEM Cisco ESXi 6.0 and VMware ESXi 6.0, is that the former has installed its own version of enic/fnic drivers for UCS.

  You can install the ISO for VMware and then update drivers enic/fnic according to the Cisco interoperability matrix: http://www.cisco.com/web/techdoc/ucs/interoperability/matrix/matrix.html

• Install ESXi/ESX/Vsphere on a single isolated standalone workstation

  In the hardware compatibility list, I noticed that the HP Z840 workstation is compatible with ESXi/ESX/Vsphere. In fact, the HP Z840 is the only HP computer that is not a server and still included in this list of compatibility.

  For the moment, I have a unique stand-alone HP Z820 workstation.

  If I decide to upgrade to a new computer HP Z840 independent, I will be able to install, configure and use ESXi/ESX/Vsphere on it and install top one, two or more systems of guest OS designed to run simultaneously, without having to connect this workstation Z840 even temporarily on another computer, separate console or network?

  There are two types of virtualization-

  1 bare Metal virtualization-

  ESXi is a virtualization software, have you install directly on the physical server from bare metal hardware. ESXi is very compact.

  Then to manage ESXi host and create the virtual machine on ESXi host, you need a system more to run vSphere Client or use client Host.

  ESXi directly access physical resources, which improve the performance of virtual machines.

  2 hosted virtualization-

  VMware workstation is a hosted type virtualization software, install you it on any system Windows or Linux and then create virtual machine on it.

  Windows underlying system provides material resources to virtual machines created in workstation that's why you get no good performance of the VM as compare to ESXi

  Today VMware workstation 12 perform as well, if you simply create VMS to test or purpose LAB VMware workstation will also work.

  For good performance, then you must ESXi host at least a Client system to manage ESXi and VMs.

• 2 ESXi con vsphere

  Buenas a todos

  Estoy metiendome poco a poco in el mundillo vmware y estoy a poco perdido. Tengo back ESXi (of time of assessment), lo quiero're montar several office maquinas y cuando to caiga UN levantarla in el otro host. Tengo instaladdo vcenter in one of the host, he created a datacenter is a cluster. Pero claro, if to me cae el host donde tengo el vcenter wont, is no to como levantar Máquina en el otro host.

  After set perform the tests in the laboratory, estoy pensando in buy back licenses of essentials (no more than la). Not tender HA, etc. pero creo as para start fits a valer.

  ¿Me podeis help con estos pasos first?

  Gracias

  If a tener "HA" manual, means any license you have, are decir, no you hace falta or vCenter or nada por el estilo.

  SE cae a servidor, las maquinas office is apagaran, entonces you conectas al otro ESXi desde vSphere Client's register las VM in ESXi este y las enciendes: Aquí tienes a enlace como una Máquina virtual registrar: VMware vSphere 5.1

  Decir, vCenter instant, not you hace falta para nada. El're vCenter crítico para poder manage todo desde a unico punto y configurar a cluster DRS HA, para, vMotion, Storage vMotion etc., pero para lo you comment, don't you hace falta en you infrastructure.

  A greeting.

• free "original vmware' update esxi5 for HP custom esxi 5.1

  Hi @all

  I have a question about the upgrade of an original vmware esxi 5.0 (free version!) on a G7 HP Proliant DL 380 with HP P2000 G3 MSA SAS attached to esxi 5.1

  I can use the customized image of hp for this upgrade or do I use the "VMware ESXi - 5.1.0 - 799733 - depot.zip ' VMware? '"

  https://my.VMware.com/group/VMware/details?downloadGroup=HP-ESXi-5.1.0-GA-10SEP2012 & ProductID = 285

  I have several drivers HP and for example the HP ESXi installed Bundle offline...

  How can I preserve the 3rd third-party drivers installed and beams when I update? the 3rd party drivers and the beams are compatible with esxi 5.0? (I thought it would be great if I can go to the image of HP custom because everything I need is built into this image :-))

  someone has done this before? I have to do it on a production system and I don't really have any other HP hardware to test the vom vmware esxi 5.0 for hp upgrade custom esxi 5.1

  Thanks for your help!

  Kind regards

  Hello vmklaus,

  It works smoothly, and you have two options:

  (a) download the file from VMware "VMware-ESXi-5.1.0-799733-HP-5.34.23.zip" (found on https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/details?productId=285&downloadGroup=HP-ESXI-5.1.0-GA-10SEP2012) and put them in the data store.

  Then SSH to your ESXi and fire following command:

  Update profile of software esxcli d vmfs/volumes / [your datastore] / [your folder]/VMware-ESXi-5.1.0-799733-HP-5.34.23.zip Pei HP-ESXi 5.1.0 - semi-trailer]

  (b) download the VMware 'VMware-ESXi-5.1.0-799733-HP-5.34.23.iso' file, burn the bootable ESXi HP-Branded 5.1 Installation on a CD for the deployment more far.

  Don't forget to load the updates, available on http://www.vmware.com/patchmgr/findPatch.portal

  Please keep in mind that the HP SmartArray real driver has a bug. It displays an alert on the Firmware even if you load the current Firmware.

  Kind regards

• Differences between ESXi and Vsphere hipervisor

  Hi guys,.

  I need to understand the difference between ESXI and Vsphere hipervisor.

  Is it correct to say that Vsphere ESX?

  Help will be very useful.

  Thank you very much

  vSphere is the range of products, including (hypervisor) ESX, vCenter (management) etc.

  In comparison, you asked "Is this correct to say that a shoe laces"?  No, not really.  One is a part of the whole.

• Upgrade from 5.1 to 5.5 - DELL Incompatible ISO custom ESXi

  Hello

  When attempting to upgrade a DELL PowerEdge server running ESXi 5.1 to 5.5, Manager of update of the 'Inconsistent' due to Broadcom VIB reports.

  Please find attached the screenshot.  It seems that the existing 5.1 ESXi host is already launched VIB even as in ISO image to measure.

  

  Thank you

  You can also choose to migrate by force and it will run the installation.  I think after that he will keep the existing VIBs that are installed, but I have not tested on.

  Using the option migrate from Force could cause the host improved to not start successfully, to expose the system instability or lose functionality. If you upgrade a host support custom VIBs 5.0.x, which are not included in the ESXi ISO Installer are migrated. There is no need to select the option migrate by Force. See upgrading of the hosts that have third-party custom VIBs.

  VMware KB: upgrade to ESXi 5.x generates the warning: host contains third VIB (s)

• Configuration of high availability in vSphere alarms

  Hello

  We have three ESXi hosts in a cluster and, recently, one of the hosts that failed (I have connected a matter of pension with VMWare to get assistance to research into why).  The virtual machines on this host automatically migrate to the other two hosts in the cluster, but we did not know that this had happened until we saw some VMS showing high CPU ready using vCOPs.

  My boss asked me to alert us if the high availability feature is used as it was the case here.  I looked on Google and the VMWare Web site, but I can't find anything specific but I've only worked with VMWare products for about a month so it could well be that I'm looking for simply not the right thing.

  I would be grateful for any help, as I have said that I am very new to VMWare, so I hope I got all the information that is needed, if it's not made me know.

  See you soon,.

• Import image Cisco Custom ESXi in MUV

  Recently updated vCenter 5.1 and vSphere Update Manager (VUM) 5.1 I can import the image of vSphere "regular" very well, which is good news for most.

  However, we have the cluster that is a cluster of UCS.  I'm pretty new to the whole idea of the UCS, but my understanding is that we should use images of installation custom of Cisco.  I downloaded two since the VMware download page.  One for 5.0 and 5.0 Update 1.

  Any in MUV.  The error message is "update package cannot be used with VMware Update Manager vSphere." downloaded

  Advice?

  Thanks for the info. I guess step 1 should read "Update U1 5.0 to 5.1", as the downgrade is not taken in charge.

  By design, VUM 5.1 supports upgrades from the host through the ISO images to the final retail version level - which, in this case, is ESXi 5.1. The ISO images to which you pointed out in step 2 are lower ESXi version (5.0), so this isn't an upgrade path supported in AUVS 5.1.

  If you want to upgrade to ESXi ESXi 5.1 through 5.1 VUM bed and breakfast - use ESXi 5.1 images.

  If you want to upgrade to 5.0 U1 ESXi ESXi hosts and you don't have in your environment - VC/VUM 5.0, you can use the different upgrade mechanisms.

• Custom ESXi from VMware ESXi vs Dell

  I'm trying to consolidate all our servers (P2V). My question is what distro ESXi should I use for my VMware servers or Dell custom? We currently have vSphere Essentials and yesterday 4.0 Update 2 is out. What will be my most safe/reliable and recommended approach.

  Material:

  2 x Dell PowerEdge R510 (ESXi via USB)

  1 x Dell PowerEdge 2850 (vCenter)

  Current options:

  (1) use 4u2 ESXi and vCenter 4u2 directly from the VMware site.

  (2) use ESXi 4u1 (Dell customized) and 4u2 from VMware sitevCenter. (the ESXi Dell 4u2 is not available)

  (3) use ESXi 4u1 (Dell custom) Dell site and 4u2 from VMware sitevCenter.

  (4) another idea?

  Thanks for any help!

  The version of Dell has the right ICD (but the vanilla version works as well) and the ready to run Dell OpenManage.

  You can add this tool later or boot from the Dell U1 version and use VMware Update Manager to upgrade to the version of U2.

• How to run mbralign on esxi with vsphere CLI

  I have a few virtual machines with disks misaligned, each of them can be found on ESXi, I also vSphere CLI installed on my laptop.

  Thus, it is possible to run mbralign using vSphere CLI, since there is no console on ESXi. If so, what would be the command.

  Not possible, vCLI aims for vSphere management regarding the host/vms/etc., that has nothing to do with running the tools custom within the classic ESX or ESXi. As far as I know, the mbralign is not supported on ESXi, if this is the case, it is most likely must be run within the Busybox unsupported console.

  Take a look to this blog post by Duncan about the alignment of the VM - http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2010/04/08/aligning-your-vms-virtual-harddisks/

  Hi Peter,.

  You can download the ISO from Dell here:

  Be sure to upgrade your vCenter and Update Manager 5.5 before trying to download the ISO (under ESXi images).

• Customer (ESXi host memory, CPU usage & network) report - VFoglight

  Customer report (memory host ESXi, CPU usage & network) - a single report, we would like to see the top host memory, CPU usage & network (in vertical graphic mode) & wise high use of cluster for monthly wise.

  Create a custom report for our requirement.

  * Click on the general TAB on the right pane - action-> click on create dashboard.

  * Select use all data-> next-> name of the dashboard-> next-> select the type of column-> finish.

  * Click on the data TAB, expand VMware-ESX host > & slipped, objects-> to select create Table

  * Select Show all on the shortcut menu select Properties.

  Select ESX, ESX version build:

  Expand CPU-CPU host-> consumer > select high CPU.

  Expand the memory-> memory host--> Select MemoryProcesses top of the page.

  Expand Stoarge-> storage-> process host select high IO-> next-> next-> next-> select the ESX host to add to this table of edge/report from the list of filters under-> click Finish.

  If this point of view to the table, I've found metric to the graph view.

  But when we ran the report, values showed n/a, unfortunately. For the cluster option, I can't use superior even to the table view.

  Some can help me pull vFoglight report.

  Concerning

  Virginia Reynaud

  One way to do this easier would be to create an array with the elements you want on it, as the name of the virtual machine, the use of the processor etc... and then you can filter/sort by CPU utilization, memory usage etc. and only have the Top 10 or anything else you like.
