• Change of address IP of VirtualCenter, no host to ESX cluster management

  Hello all,.

  Our Team MS moved our VirtualCenter server to a new IP address. But since then, I had problems with a cluster I had previously put in place.

  Since the change, the cluster with 2 esx hosts cannot be destroyed, the esx hosts themselves cannot be dragged, maintenace ito disconnected or split mode.

  I suspect that it is because the hosts are always sending heartbeats to the old address IP of VCenter. Any action on the cluster or host of just hangs.

  Is that anyway, since the ESX servers themselves to be removed from the VCenter, so I can add?

  Trying to readd the host in VC me that it is managed under a server VCenter (old IP) and if you override you will be asked to get an error "the host is already connected to this server, VirtualCenter)

  Any ideas/thoughts will be appreciated.

  Have you tried to restart your Windows VC service?

• ESX host managed by VirtualCenter servers all see the same SAN LUNS / data warehouses

  Scenario of

  I have two separate deployments of VirtualCenter (in the same physical location) VCA and VCB with each deployment management 5 x ESX hosts (10 in total).

  All 10 hosts are allowed to look at the same SAN LUNS / data warehouses?

  Or I have to isolate five VCA hosts and five guests to their own SAN LUNS VCB / data warehouses?

  Basically, we have our direct environment and we are on the beta program for VI4.

  I want to turn off a virtual machine in the direct environment and then pull it out of the inventory.

  Then I want to go the VI4 Beta and browse the data store and add this virtual machine to inventory.

  These two environments may see the same LUNS / data warehouses.

  I did and it works however I want to make sure that it is an approved practice.

  You can do that normally without any problems. Even if the virtual machine is in a different datacenter inventory and there Powred-Off. You can map the logic unit number on the VI4 and add to the inventory of the VI4 another host.

  Recently, I did this practice to migrate from host with virtual machines in a different subnet to the host who knows the same setting SAN LUN in the other subnet.

  What should I do?

  This KB is to reinstall ESX host agents.

  first of all, you should check if compatible your host with the version of vcenter.

  It check the archive attached.

• Migrate ESX hosts between vCenters

  Hello

  I was instructed to spend our ESX 3.5 hosts the old VirtualCenter 2.5 to a fresh vCenter 4.0.

  The problem lies in the migration of the ESX hosts without interruption of service. If I had the ability to paralyse an ESX or VMotion their stop, I would have done this, but the old VC2.5 is corrupted and does not allow this.

  I got 2 new boxes, a new box that will become the new VC4.0 and a new ESX 4.0 host.

  My plan is to migrate the hosts of the old VC2.5 to the new VC4.0 to disconnect the current vcenter and then simply adding them in the new VC4.0. After Google'ing a bit, I found that this is however not the easiest of tasks when I can not close the guests during the transition.

  Is it possible, such as disconnection, uninstall or remove users VC2.5 then import the ESX in the new VC4.0?

  Once the ESX is completed in vCenter 4.0, there VMotion and all the fancy stuff that are broken in our current configuration of VC2.5.

  When guests are over, they will also be cleaned and installation from scratch with ESX 4.0 Update 1 + firmware upgrades, which they have unfortunately not been considered with for a long time.

  Thanks in advance for answers!

  a simple disconnect/remove existing vCenter.  Then add the host to the new.  When you add the host, it will upgrade the agent of vpx and reconfigure for HA.

• The requested operation is not implemented by the server when you try to access the VI Client with ESX hosts

  Hello

  We have problems with the VirtualCenter (which someone else works).  I need to access some of the virtual machines and tried to connect through the VI client to all ESX hosts.  I get this error after I give him password, username, and hostname:

  The requested operation is not implemented by the server.

  I'm sure I got this race last year.

  A reflection as to why it does not work?

  Thank you!

  Hello.

  How you launch the client?  Is it a shortcut with possibly a few settings in there?  If so, try running it without parameters.

  Good luck!

• help - vm to 100% with Betclic resources cpu, but the ESX host to 15% cpu

  Hi all

  5 * HP BL460c Blade each with two Quad Core Xeon E5450 and and 8 GB of RAM.

  ESX 3.5

  VirtualCenter 2.5.0

  DRM and active HA.

  I need assistance with resource pools. Currently I have them all together for:

  • expandable

  • unlimited

  for the CPU and memory. I tried without reserve and with reservations, and it is indifferent to the result.

  I'm running a server SQL2008 (2 * vCPU, 3.5 GB of RAM) which is pretty hard. and from time to time the cpu usage spikes to 100% (6 GHz) and saturate at this time here. When I go to the graphs of the ESX host, I see up to 3 physical processes responsible... and all the others are dormant...

  I'm working on why he no longer not affected resources of the ESX host. I thought that because of the resource sharing (unlimited), he could catch resource from the pool of resources of the parent (unlimited). And our Installer is very very little used - so much processing power/mem available spare parts.

  I have also some really stupid questions:

  • with SMP, 1 vCPU means only 1 pCPU host is used?
    I never thought that this true, but in this example, it seems that only 2 pCPUs on the host are used... maybe 3,.., it is difficult to tell from the graph

  • a virtual machine can use more resources from a host at the same time?

  with SMP, 1 vCPU means only 1 pCPU host is used?

  I never thought that this true, but in this example, it seems that only 2 pCPUs on the host are used... maybe 3,.., it is difficult to tell from the graph

  Yes, assign you a resource equivalent to a virtual machine to the host.  Therefore, if you assign 1 vCPU which is equivalent to a unique Jepp on the host computer in the slot.

  a virtual machine can use more resources from a host at the same time?

  No. a resource pool is on a cluster, but VM inside this POOL can only use a single host resources.  The case is from ESX can use DRS to load balancing force of the VM, the pool determines the overall consumption and that you assign VM accordingly.  But ESX is not yet there to physical resource take other hosts.  What ever host is on, it is that the only place these resources can be achieved.

  What process the SQL 2008 taking up the CPU process?  I think it's SQL Server, in which case it is not that you can do.  One of the reasons that I discourage using VM for SQL, SQL works not virtualized.

• ESX host will not use VMotion

  Hi all

  I have a question maybe someone can help.

  I installed two new ESX hosts in their own cluster, managed by a single data center environment.

  After the installation and updates, adding them to the Cluster environment and adding new licenses to the license server VC.

  I have one of the two ESX host who won't use VMotion. Everything is allowed as should be. But in the section of the Add On to the Configuration of the license, I see the following:

  VMware DRS Licensed for 2 cpu

  VirtualCenter for ESX Server Licensed agent for 2 cpu

  VMotion will not used

  VMware Consolidated Backup for 2 cpu license

  VMware HA under license for 2 cpu

  Additional details:

  Both servers in the cluster are identical hardware profiles: Intel 3.2Gig Xeon, 2 cavities 4 hearts, no HT.

  32Gig of RAM, (Proliant DL380 G5)

  The two servers connected to the SAN via Fibre Chanel Switch, redundant.

  Concert NIC ((VMNic 0 (Console 1), VMNic 1 (Standby adapter), VMNic 2 (Console 2) (the Virtual Machine Network), (VMkernel), (ports of vSwitch 56 none VLAN not defined) VMNic 3 (Standby adapter)).)

  No errors in the Logs of license, the Console message, etc. Everything seems in good health with no update needed.

  Both servers see the unique data store, created on the same SAN which it connects through the switch channel.

  VMFS 3.31.  Unique data store with several extensions (8 in total, the creation of a size of 15 to storage).

  Any ideas?

  All my other hosts using VMotion, but it does not work and there is no difference in configuration, I know.

  Thank you

  • FPTHREE

  Some of the most common problems that cause problems VMotion - have you enabled for VMotion vmkernel port? VMkernel ports on the same segments of entwork?

  Can you provide the ip addresses for your vmkernel enabled for vmotion -

• Serial numbers of the ESX host

  Is it possible to account for the serial numbers of physical ESX host?  I can easily make name, esx version and build, but the last thing needed would be the serial number (knows what vCenter).  He is buried somewhere in the views I have just lack?

  BTW, I'd LOVE to have the search bar in creating tables.  Drilling through an infinite hierarchy of objects can be quite tedious!

  I m sure that the license information is not collected. Transmits your search bar request along to the Foglight core team for review.

  Thank you!

• The ESX host is in maintenance mode

• You can create a view that filters (ESX host) Linux machines on the view of the Infrastructure?

  Hello

  We have recently implemented Foglight and VMware plugin. As part of the VMware plugin, Foglight pulls in all the Linux VM machines including the ESX host. Our team of Linux only manages the running redhat Linux hosts. They fail the ESX VM guest. That said, is there a way to create a view that shows only the hosts running redhat Linux?

  For example the view of rail infrastructure below contains 88 Linux machines, but nearly half of them are ESX hosts for our Linux team would not see all these. Is it possible to filter these?

  

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Tony

  The easiest way would be to create a personalized, pair it with Infrastructure and then create a dynamic management component.  This will help create you a rule for "All hosts" where you can find just the hosts that are not of the ESX host and run Linux.

  The query would be:

  detail.topologyTypeName! = "VMWESXServer" & os.longName like «% Linux»

• WWPN or WWNN ESX host are stored as numbers long.  How can I work with these values?

  I need to update our database of the machine with the WWPN and WWNN of each ESX host.  These are stored in the form of long integers.  What is the correct way to deal with a long integer as a partner to a 64-bit mac?  Is there a mechanism within vRO for this?  If the number has been stored as a string, that I could work with her, but when I try to convert using. toString(), I find myself with an incorrect value.

  Try changing the line where the script retrieves the VMHost to this

  $vmhosts = get-VMHost-State connected. Name sort

  This way the script will be only to ESXi nodes that are "connected".

  Pick up time for those defective does not much sense in all cases

• ESX host is listed in DVSwitch, but not in DVportgroups

  Hello

  I have the following in a CLuster (5.5 Vcenter, ESXi hosts 5.1) problem:

  I added a new ESX to the cluster (number 9 of ESX), then added 4 network cards to the DVSwitch (uses the LACP Protocol).

  In this DVSwitch I 2 DVportGroups / tag VLAN

  The problem is the host is listed in the tab "Hosts" in VCenter to level DVSwicth, but do not appear in the DVportgroups tabs (all hosts are listed here but not the last one..)

  vmk0 migrated successfully to the VLAN 1 St... but now, it appears limited to ""... I can migrate to the DVportGroup right... and VCenter says 'ok'... but nothing changes...

  I tried to migrate a virtual machine on the ESX (2nd VLAN) = > VM pings OK...

  So "technically" it works very well... but the ESX does NOT appear as members of DVportGroup.

  The problem appeared when I tried to deploy a vApp (antivirus) on the ESX... I'm stuck at the "select VLANS for the NETWORK card"... There is no VIRTUAL LAN in the list... (because the ESX host is no not part of any dvportgroup..)

  I tried "adding the ESX to the DVportGroup" after having asked for credentials, VCenter says 'ESX is already part of the pole '...

  Someone had this strange behavior?

  What can I do?

  Help!

  Best regards

  S

  I had a similar case, where the hosts have been posted under DVS, but not under DVS exchanges.

  A restart of vCenter Service fixed the problem. However, I was not deploy any TIME or such.

• Adding data to the ESX host store

  Hi all

  We are automating the process of adding data to the esx host store. We have all the necessary inputs as a host, Cluster, data center, data store name, store (VMFS) Pat data.

  Do we have the cmdlets to get the result? What is the data store should be added after the configuration of the network?

  We need confirm that the data store must be there in vcenter/Cluster?

  Please help explain the process.

  Thanks and greetings

  If the LUNS on which these data warehouses are defined are zoned and correctly configured as a shared, they become automatically visible on the ESXi node.

  Do you see the LUN on different nodes of ESXi under storage adapters?
