• Upgrading to ESX 3.5 host to ESXi 4.1 where the VCenter is installed on the guest system

  Hello

  I try to find measures to upgrade to ESX 3.5 host to ESXi 4.1 where the vCenter Server 4.1 is installed on the system of comments on this host.

  Any suggestions are welcome.

  Thank you

  Should I move the virtual machines from the first RAID at one of the others? Whipe then come out the scores and perform ESXi 4.1 installation?

  Yes, it's a way to do this.

  Unfortunately, the ESXi 4.1 installation wipe the disk to complete installation (or logical volume) as you have experienced. Assuming that "logical partitions VMFS" you mentioned are logical volumes actually created in the RAID configuration (presented as individual of the operating system disks), you can migrate the virtual machine that is currently stored on data store of the installation disk to a data store on one of the other logical disks and then install ESXi.

• To connect to a host of ESXi (free) in a vSphere 5.0 infrastructure

  
  I need to migrate virtual machines (including existing snapshots) to a stand-alone host ESXi 3.5 (free) to a member of host ESXi 5.0 5.0 vSphere infrastructure.

  VMware Converter does not work for me because it does not migrate the shots, nor can I use the sulition backup that I currently use.

  I can't use OVF for the same reason.

  A possible solution coud be temporarily add the old ESXi host vSphere 5.0 for the time needed to migrate the computer virtual infrastructure: is it possible?

  Another solution could be downloading files containing the virtual machines from the VMFS data store managed by the former host of ESXi 3.5 in a Windows folder and download for the data managed by the ESXi 5.0 host store, but I strongly suspect that it does not.

  Is there an alternative?

  Concerning

  Marius

  I think that the copy will be the way to go in this case. You can take a look at of Veeam FastSCP for this work.

  After copying the files, you should be able to add the virtual machine to inventory (right-click the file .vmx in browser data store) and turn on.

• Comments can ping host, but host cannot ping the prompt.

  Hello. I already asked this question in another discussion, but it has a different title, so I decided to ask my question in a new discussion.

  Host: Windows 7, 192.168.186.1, no gateway IP

  Client: Windows XP, 192.168.186.2, no gateway IP

  If the ping of the comments reached the host. But when I try to ping the host's comments, I get '100% packet loss. How it could be explained?

  I take a look at the Windows Firewall on computers and make sure that it is disabled.

• The upgrade of the host, VMware ESXI 4.1

  Hello

  I am running a host VMware ESXi 4.1. It seems that VMware claims now this product VMware vSphere Hypervisor (am I right?). Was it a name change purely marketing, or they introduce new functions as well? Is VSphere Hypervisor a more recent version of ESXi

  Is there a tool to upgrade VMware ESXi 4.1 for newer versions (no matter if their output yet or not, just wondering about the upgrade in general)?

  Thanks in advance!

  Don't worry, it's all the same. You have the same binary files for all editions of ESXi, it is only the license key that locks or unlocks features. I think that the main reason why VMware decided to call ESXi free edition "Hypervisor" was because many people were confused that ESXi is free or not.

  There are two upgrade options ESXi. For the first, you must have a licensed version of vCenter Server, which offers the "Update Manager". The second is to use the command line utility "vihostupdate".

  In addition, you can take a look at http://www.vm-help.com/esx41/Patching_4.1_with_the_host_update_utility.php

• HELP PLEASE! I can't power off the virtual machine on host VWware ESXi

  I can not power off the virtual machine on host VWware ESXi is any other command. How can I restart?

  I need to power on the virtual machine, I did not back up!

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  in the ESXi console, run esxtop... you see the functioning of the virtual machine?

  If this isn't the case, you can restart management agents in the ESXi and you will be able to turn on the virtual machine again.

• How can I determine if the host is ESXi free or licensed?

  How can one know if an ESXi host is ESXi free, or if it is allowed?

  I searched through the crowd on a couple of different configurations and I don't see anything obvious that indicates this.  I ask because there are some features that only work on ESXi under license and would like to be able to detect the server type I'm talking about.

  I guess that there is a way to do so under the ha - Manager of licenses.

  Thank you

  Eric

  The method that I use to check for this in my scripts is to use the licenseManager watch ownership licenses and see if the license is equivalent to "esxBasic", the host is ESXi, if both these things are true, then you are using the free version of ESXi. In my view, there is another method in which the free version does not contain the full name of some kind, but I forgot what it was. If the above solution worked for me for some time and is simple to check

  The new G6 in the memory market settles after a while if I put manually:

  Use Intel VT-x/AMD-v for virtualization and EPT Intel/AMD virtualization MMU nec training

  If I move G5 servers all right, move them back it culminates on mem. waited for itself if it settles, but no go.

  PS we put in CVS mode on the cluster.

  New servers booted on peak still G6 mem comments.

• If I put in place an openfiler VM as a data store iSCSI & vmfs on two ESXi hosts, both ESXi hosts can access two data warehouses?

  If I put in place an openfiler VM as a data store iSCSI & vmfs on two ESXi hosts, both ESXi hosts can access two data warehouses?

  The reason why I ask, is that I have two hosts ESXi ESXi 4 running.  I do my backups with ghettoVCB, which I modified to create thin backups on one of the drives the.  I then wput them to the server, which causes them to become thick.  Directly targets the backup in a vmfs iSCSI on the server in the face shop.  It would save a step and the vmdk backup should remain thin.

  Thank you!

  The short answer is Yes. If you allow the ESX servers to see the LUN. This setting is configured to the Openfiler.

• file hosts on ESXi 3.5

  I have multiple ESX servers that cannot go to ESXi 4.  It had previously ESX 3.5 u3 on them.  I decided to move them all to ESXi 3.5 u4.  I have problems with HA on several machines.  I know that I had a problem with HA on ESX 3.5 at some point machines and the resolution of the issue was to configure the hosts on each ESX Server file.  Each ESX Server with have the host name and IP address of each another ESX Server in the cluster.  That seems to have solved the problem with HA because I no longer seemed to be the problem with this defect.  Is it possible to configure the file hosts on ESXi machines?

• Comments cannot ping host

  Hi all:

  I have a strange problem of networking that VMware technical support has not been able to help.

  Summary of the problem: comments cannot ping host unless the host is a ping command, while the guest is ping to the host

  Details of the problem: I have intalled VMware Workstation 6.5.2 on the host Windows Vista Edition Home Premium (SP1). I installed several guests, including Ubuntu 8.04, openSUSE 11, Win XP and Win 2000. All guests use "bridged" network. The host has a static IP address. All guests have DHCP. All these people have the same problem - they cannot ping the host. It simply returns "Destination unreachable". However, if I run a ping from the host (it didn't ping the same customer, any ip address on the network) while the guest is ping to the host, and then will cross ping of the guest. For the next two minutes, the guest will be able to ping the host without any problem (without 'help' of the host). Then the guest will again be able ping on the host and you will have to repeat the same process. Quite strange, isn't? Another problem, I can access the internet from the hosts and guests can ping each other. (I can't access the printer connected to the host. However if the guest can ping on the host, then it can also access the printer as well.) I tried everything but still can't find the root cause of the problem. Here is a list of the things I've tried:

  1. tried VMware Workstation 6.5.2 on a Windows XP computer on the same network (equipped with a wireless card intel) and did NOT have this problem.

  2. firewalls, antivirus software, VPN clients, etc. were all off. It did not help.

  3. the problem disappears if I use the wired Ethernet connection

  4. the current wireless adapter is a D-Link, but I also tried with a Linksys Wireless card and had the same problem

  5. the same problem exists also for VMware 6.5.1

  6. I have installed the software VirtuaBox VM from Sun and installed the same comments from Ubuntu on the same host. The problem goes away!

  7. I also tried the "NAT" networking and had the same problem.

  8. I also tried DHCP for host and had the same problem.

  I've tried everything I can think of and nothing seemed to help. I have filed a request for assistance with VMware tech and traded a few emails with the support guy but have not heard from him for a few days. I would really appreciate if someone can offer a few ideas to help solve this problem. I'm not a networking guru, but I'm a software engineer, so you can talk to me in technical terms.

  Thank you in advance.

  Yes! as noted above, it is the arp tables.

  my router is assigned the same IP address for the host computer and the guest, so as soon as you ping from your host prompt, the mac and ip is back in the arp (invites) tables and from there he will communicate via newly assigned ARP table. You can check this scathing the hostname and it will be the same ip address as your guest (in my case)

  I then googled arp vmware and discovered that it is familir with chipset broadcom and vmware behavior.

  ARP - a displays the tables,

  ARP s 00-00-00-00-00-00 192.168.x.xxx - assign the IP address to a MAC address.

  I hope this helps.

• Update comments before the host tools

  Hello

  Our backup software (TSM for EV) checks if the VMWare Guest tools are 'in progress', before you perform the backup of the application.

  This means that when we improve a host for the new version, the backup of the application of all the virtual machines on the host will fail, until the tools are upgraded.

  
  

  However, the cheque will go through if the comment tools version is newer than the version of the host.

  Then...

  Is it possible to orchestrate the tools update to a newer version than the tools on the host?

  (In addition to using a single host 'host jump' update for updates, and migration of virtual machines on that host one).

  Best regards

  Martin

  
  

  
  

  Is it possible to orchestrate the tools update to a newer version than the tools on the host?

  Yes, it's possible and fully supported to run versions of VMware Tools in the guests who are more recent than the ESXi host versions. For example, you can use the latest tools of U1 6.0 even on the hosts 5.x. see: product VMware interoperability matrices

  To obtain and deploy the latest tools, you have a couple of different options available; you don't need to bother with a "host of jump' or whatever it is.

  1. just update the package tools-light of your guests, for example with MUV. This beautiful thing is this can be done online and requires no maintenance mode or a reboot of the host. Make sure that no virtual machine currently has VMware Tools mounted ISOs.

  2 extract the ISOs tools the bundle version (patch) of target offline or installing ESXi ISO.

  3 download https://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/index.htmlTools packages. These correspond exactly to those of the packages included in the packages offline (patch) or installation ISOs. (Just get the .exe files big, no need to enter an ISO.)

  4 download the new standalone version 10.x of the tools of:

  https://my.VMware.com/group/VMware/details?downloadGroup=VMTOOLS1005&ProductID=491

  http://pubs.VMware.com/Release_Notes/en/VMwareTools/1005/VMware-tools-1005-release-notes.html

  Personally, I prefer not to bother with the ISOs editing or updating through the vSphere Client interfaces, but using an automated custom installation with the package of relevant tools like this:

  C:\VMware-tools-9.4.12-2627939-x86_64.exe/v number! REINSTALLMODE = vomus ADDLOCAL = DELETE all the Audio, BootCamp, FileIntrospection, Hgfs, NetworkIntrospection, Unity REBOOT = ReallySuppress

  This also some unnecessary components like unity, which are available on the position of work/Fusion/player, and eliminates a forced reboot.

• Comments from 64-bit within ESXi in ESXi 5.0 5.0 (nested vm)

  I am trying to run 64-bit within ESXi 5.0 comments in ESXi 5.0. It was not possible to run virtual machines nested within ESXi 4.x, but AFAIK it is now possible in 5.0. But I still have this error when I run 64-bit VM nest:

  Host ICC is inconsistent with the requirements of the virtual machine to the CPUID level 0 registry x 800000001 ' edx.

  Mistamtch detected for these features:

  * Longmode; required when a virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest OS. For systems with Intel processors, which allows to VT in the BIOS is required to support longmode.

  I have configure ESXi 5.0 VM with:

  -CPU/MMU Virtualization: "using Intel VT-x/AMD-V for the EPT Intel/AMD RVI set statement and MMU virtualization virtualization."

  -CPU ID level 80000001: edx: - 1 - H -

  Any other suggestions?

  The host itself needs little memory too, which is not available for virtual machines. Please take a look at the 'Resources' of the virtual host tab to see how much memory is available for virtual machines. There is also an overload of memory you need to take into account for the power on the virtual machine. Assignment of a bit more memory to the VM ESXi (~4.5GB) should do.
