• displacement of the configurations of lab manager between the ESX server host computers / data warehouses

  Hello

  Is it possible to move configurations of lab manager between the ESX server host computers / data warehouses? I don't see an option in the library & gt; Clone library. Thank you!

  Recently, I used SSMove to migrate our datastore LM set a new LUN.  It's really simple to use.  This KB gives complete instructions on SSMove http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1006694&sliceId=1&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&dialogID=8456583&stateId=0%200%209407965

• NATing between an ESX server and the Virtual Center Server.

  We strive to set up a server to VirtualCenter 2.5 inside a firewall and put servers ESX 3.5 within each of our customer networks. The problem is that within each client network, the IP address must be coordinated. Support of ESX 3.5 originating server, and if so, how do I set up? If not, how VMware plans to support this?

  I think I am confused?

  It is on this link?

  Supported for VirtualCenter 2.0 only NAT

  This version supports for the connection from ESX Server 2.5 and VirtualCenter 3.0 hosts using NAT (NAT). To configure ESX Server to connect to a VirtualCenter server is configured behind a NAT, you must add the following in vpxd.cfg configuration setting:

  < vpxd >

  ...

  < managedip >ipAddress< / managedip >

  ...

  < / vpxd >

  When the IP address is the address of the host ESX Server uses to communicate with the VirtualCenter server.

  See KB 2195771 "Manually setting Cluster IP address for Clustered VirtualCenter Server" for more information on the manual configuration of the IP address in the file vpxd.cfg.

  Also note that the NAT must be configured to allow packets UDP Port 902 of this IP address.

• Move VMS between server ESXi and vSphere ESX server

  Dear all,

  I want to move some a vSphere ESX server virtual machines to ESXi server.

  I understand that some users will use CPS to move between the ESX servers, but apparently not for moving between different products.

  I'm just using a slow and prone to error method:

  The files of the virtual machine to my deskop PC of vSphere ESX server and then upload to the ESXi server.

  I would advise you to please all of the methods that is better than this one?

  Help, please.

  Kind regards

  Tommy

  If you got a central storage you can move virtual machines between the two products with vMotion. Since you don't seem to have available vMotion, you pouvez use scp. SCP has nothing to do with ESX/ESXi products. It is a Linux/Unix program which is available in both servers.

  So with the CPS, you need a little less.

  The syntax is like:

  SCP - r/path/to/vm/directory user@esxi:/path/to/new/location

• Difference between vCenter server and ESX server

  Hello

  I'm new to the development of VMware. Can you please explain me how ESX server differs from the VirtualCenter Server?

  According to my knowledge, ESX server is the one on which the real images are created and deployed while VirtualCenter manages ESX (one at a time) servers. ability to manage multiple ESX servers, both 'vSphere' a.

  My understanding is correct. Kindly answer my question.

  ESX (later - ESX4) is a system of bare metal operating that you can install directly on your physical hardware. This is the hypervisor layer that helps you to run multiple virtual machines on a single piece of material. The heart of ESX is the VMkernel which does all the magic (resouce management VM.. .and much). Talk about vCenter (previously Center Virtual Server) is a management application that you can install on a separate physical computer (you can even have a virtual vCenter). Once your vCenter is allowed, you can begin to manage the ESX servers.

  There are two ways to manage ESX. One is that you can directly connect to your ESX Server with root password and manage it. Otherwise, connect the server vCenter, add the ESX Server so that your vCenter it manages.

  vCenter resembles a management station from which you can manage your multiple ESX servers.

• ESX server with 2 different storage array?

  Hello.

  I currently have my ESX servers connected to storage DS4700 and most berries.  Each ESX is double path via a switch which, in turn, allows me to see my DS4700.  My question is, can I i the area my ESX Server so that it can "see" my DS8300 and I would be able to assign LUNS of my ESX servers with no problems?  Both can coexist?  I think I should use for my DS4700 host bus adapters and host bus adapters that are dedicated to my DS8300?  A UNIX point, these 2 storage arrays do not 'communicate' the same way (for example, SDD and RDAC).

  Thank you.

  Steph

  SDD driver is for the multipath. VMware has its own multi-channel driver that is shipped with ESX server, you won't not any 3rd party multipathing software.

  In any case to be abel to see camps Bay you have no need to activate the software multpathing. It is intended only to provide a redundant path to any logical unit number hosted by a single table through several MS SPs/Ports.

  Area just for DS8300 ESX Server and a new analysis should see the new targets and when you present LUNS to your host definetion analyze again another you should see the DS8300 LUN.

  I hope this helps.

• Move ESX server Vcenter 2.5 to Vcenter 4

  I want to do a migration not an upgrade. I have currently a vcenter 2.5 all install but on an old operating system and SQL 2000.

  So I installed a new VCenter 4 with SQL 2008 (different machines), care of upgrading the SQL DB, because I wanted to make a slower roll.

  Now, I need to move between Vcenters ESX servers.  I think that the process is disconnect the ESX VC 2.5 server and reconnect it in VC 4 and ESX settings (not the VC settings such as clusters, etc.) should meet to fine and none of the virtual machines will see another, and they will continue online.

  I am correct is this process?

  Thanks, jb

  Yes, that should work perfectly. Disconnect, then remove. Finally add a host in the new environment.  Do not forget so moving VI3 Hosts in an instance of vCenter4 that you still need to keep your running license server or install a stand-alone license source.

• LUN and ESX Server - basic knowledge

  Hello...

  I'm trying to clarify the relationship of this LUN game in the Infrastructure of VI:

  (1) is it true that you can have 1 VMFS volume associated with ESX Server at a given time?   Or can we have multiple VMFS volumes running on all different LUN associated with the same ESX Server?

  (2) I know that you have have 'shared storage' between the ESX servers in a cluster of vmotion, but the fact that "the shared storage" refers to

  (a) the same VMFS volume (no matter how much LUN spans the VMFS volume) or

  (b) or can it be multiple different VMFS volumes (b/c multiple VMFS volumes can be associated to an ESX Server at a given time)

  (3) If you can have multiple VMFS volumes related to 1 ESX Server, make the virtual machine in a cluster of vmotion, they all live in the same VMFS volume?

  Thank you!

  Also remember that a VMFS data store cannot be greater than 2 TB.

  Also consider what would happen if an administrator has accidentally deleted a LUN

  VMware also creates SCSI reservations on a LUN basis whenever it creates a new virtual machine among other tasks. If these become too high, the logic unit number is locked significantly reducing the performance of the disk. Separation between the LUN, will help

• 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.

• VMWare ESX Server training

  Hello experts,
  I'm new to vitrualization.
  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.

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

  to reduce the memory usage by disabling the plugins that vmware

  plugins.include = VMware

  You can also change the max heap size in agent.properties:

• Branch Office ESX server

  I have an aite has setup an ESX Server in a branch and aross connected a T1 to a Virtual Center. At this time the host has an alert on the server communication error. Before going to say 'You can do that' I need to tell the pro and cons. Is this possible? is it recommended? Out of me knowing that I've never seen a Setup like this, which is my justification to say that you can do. You must launch its own server vCenter.

  Any help is appreciated

  Thank you

  Eric.

  If you don't have a NAT, it should work. The only con about it is the bandwidth. If you, like me, 1 ESX remotely on this link with about 20 VM, well, you can go. Communication between ESX and VC begins to increase in a per-vm basis, so you will start having delays in a large environment with limited bandwidth.

  Wait times are variable, depending on the http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1017253 KB.

• Shut down or migrate VM offline (on a disconnected ESX Server)

  We have 4 ESX servers in our infrastructure. After a failure of three of them under tension, but there is not (esx-02).

  On this host, we have virtual machine called f12-dns-02. Now esx - 02 is disconnected, but this always considered virtual machineis as running, why?

  We can't stop it or move to another host (each option is disabled).

  How can turn us this machine to another esx Server?

  

  The virtual machine must be registed for this ESX host running vmware-cmd commands. and if you are in the directory of the virtual machine then you can use #vmware - cmd vm.vmx stop

  #vmware - cmd vm.vmx stophard

  If the second command does not work, try again with a space between the stop and hard

  So without the SSH access, I think that what you use is device of vMA.

• Adding 2nd NIC killed ESX Server

  All,

  Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Here are the environment and then my question.

  3 - DELL R510 - Dual Core Quad - Intel systems

  The area has "2" Integrated NIC

  as well as "2" QUAD Port - PCI Intel network interface cards

  NIC 0 - integrated NETWORK card is a system where installed- and it is plugged into a standard Switch CISCO GIG, the tag VLAN 108

  NIC 1 - integrated is configured for iSCSI connectivity

  LOCATION 0 - Port Quad PCI NIC

  Port # 3 is connected to a GROUP of CIRCUITS on a CISCO SWITCH with VLAN 108, 104, 107 and 110 on it

  Port # 1 is used for the 2nd iSCSI connection

  LOCATION 1 - Port Quad PCI NIC

  # 7 port is connected to a different GROUP of CIRCUITS on a CISCO SWITCH with VLAN 108, 104, 107 and 110 on it

  All three servers are installed with ESX4 update 1

  When I go into vCenter to one of the three servers and go to the primary Switch virtual networking, if I add #3 NIC or Port #7 NIC to the virtual switch (it currently integrated NIC 0 in) the system disconnects the network and to connect to vCenter losses and the entire network. If physically I reboot the ESX Server, it is NOT on the network. I have the tag VLAN in NIC0 defined 4095 to accept all the VLANS as well. (I tried with and without the tag of VLAN 4095 - same result)

  Here are my questions:

  1 - Why is - what happens? How it should be configured?

  2. is there a way to get NIC0 to return to the network without having to re - install ESX?

  I reinstalled the boxes several times now and tried many variations of combinations of nic, and they all end up with the ESX Server disconnected from the network and does not.

  Really looking for some common sense here... Please and thank you.

  Hmmmm, shooting a little in the dark, but I think your next 2 steps are:

  (1) get the SC (vswif0) MAC and check your MAC address table switch to fly throughout of ports

  (2) on the console, use esxcfg-vswitch for uplink associated with the Group of port SC the first list, and then delete the 2nd network card.  This should get your SC direct return and leave the new map available NETWORK the vswitch, simply not group ports SC.  (And you don't have to reinstall :-).)

  Virtualization of happy!
