• vMotion fails at 9% - Source host cannot connect to the destination host

  Hello

  I wonder if someone could shine any light on why vmotion fails to occur between an ESXi host who has just been restarted, in order to test HA. I have the following configuration:

  3 x ESXi5 DL360 G7s with two 4-way NIC

  VSphere Vcenter 5

  1 x cluster configured for DRS HA

  2 x Procurve 2910 - 24G

  The switches are not connected to each other.

  Both switches are configured as such:

  

  All ports are not marked. NO PLEASE, no routing

  Each host vMotion vSwitch is connected to two switches by 1 x 1 GB nic

  I configured a vswitch on each host of vMotion. There are two ports vmkernel with two IPS on the same subnet. There are two vmnic attached to the vSwitch. On each port, a Vmic is configured to be active while the other is unused. I enabled frames on the vSwitch and 2910 switches. A VLAN has been configured on the two predisposees 2910 for vmotion with frames and defined traffic on "no label". I can successfully vmkping all the ip s vmotion on all ESXi hosts. However, when I test HA by stopping an ESXi host, when I restart the ESXi host I am unable to vmotion in that ESXi host. When I test vmkping I find that the host rebooted can only vmkping itself and no other host can vmkping it. Vmotion attempt fails on 9% and errors with the source host cannot connect to the destination host. If I restart the two switches of 2910 I can then perform a vMotion and the vmkping is a success.

  Help, please?

  Thank you

  I have since read up on the various load balancing options and find that your method is preferable during the method of "ip hash.

  I'll make the change to "port based" and link the two switches

  Hello Simon, I think it's a good option to do, since the hash IP load balancing is a bit special and really requires both interfaces to connect to the same physical switch, which must also have a specific configuration. If you like the results after the new changes.

• ESX host, as well as the NFS server?

  Hi all and thanks in advance for any help.

  I want to know if it is possible to turn essential a LUN on a host in a NFS for another host.

  The vmkernel will allow me to share a hdd connected locally on a host to another host?

  For example.  ESX1 has a 1 TB drive, ESX 2 boasts a record of 400GO.  I want to share the drive between machines as data warehouses.

  The hosts are on the same domain and a fairly typical storage facility.

  I want to leave the VI client manage sharing, but I need a mounting point for training and one for access to hosts.

  Setup NFS on both ESX hosts will cause problems?

  Thanks in advance, once again.

  I really need to know if I can just use NFS on each ESX and run it at the same time as VMware.

  The short answer is no.  ESX was not designed to be an NFS server, should not be.  Thus, there MAY be servers NFS that will work, but they have compiled and built on the ESX host, which is beyond the scope of this thread, so let's say no. NFS on ESX host.

• ESX host cannot ping the default gateway.

  Hi Experts,

  I have connected ESX hosts to switch cisco as well by the ILO and other ports.

  Cisco switch configuration;

  int gig 1/0/21 and 1/0/13 gig and gig 1/0/14 are configured as access ports because they are carriers/tagging vLan as a 306.

  Cisco switch, I can ping the ip address of the ILO, but I can't ping the IP address management and vice versa.

  IP Managment

  10.197.204.10

  255.255.255.0

  10.197.204.1

  VLAN 306

  Attached the screenshot shown in the diagram.

  your help will be appreciated.

  Concerning

  Don't know what it is, but there must be something simple that you miss

  Let's go through each step of configuration for both ESXi network connections (ILO work already, so we do not touch).

  Check the configuration of switch port physical interface GigabitEthernet1/0/13 and 1/0/14.

  switchport access vlan 306

  switchport mode access

  spanning tree portfast

  Only connect the cable network for vmnic0 to host and make sure what vmnic0 presents itself as 'connected' in the DCUI

  

  Make sure the VLAN ID is empty.

  

  Make sure you then the IP settings are correct (IE without typos,...) and restart the management network from the main menu.

• ESX host cannot see the data store

  Hello team, I have vcenter management 5 2 host esxi5. now added an esxi4 in the cluster and added iniitators for file systems. I can see the paths under this host of esx4 showing the LUN of the registrants. but I'm not able to see the data to store. When I tried to edit a newly created virtual machine to find the iso from the data store, it shows only the local hard disk of the host, which is a UCS blade. exsi5 hosts the two ok to see all data stores. can someone tell which part is wrong? Thank you!

  Looks like there is no problem with the presentation of the logic unit number since you can see the path to the LUN from the host.

  Is - these created data VMFS storages are 50 ESXi? If so, the VMFS version 5 (VMFS 5) which is not supported in ESXi 4.1.

  In this case, its expected that the host ESXi 4.1 will not show VMFS5 data warehouses.

Also, I can't access the Web page for the host, which works very well for the other guests, we have running: https://

  I am able to ping both the IP address and the name of FQDN of the host successfully.

  I did the following things in the hope of resolving, who all have failed:

  1 restart the Management Agents on ESXi host from the windows of the customization of the system.

  2. test the management successfully and rebooted network management network

  It is an ugly one. At least a restart if not re-install. To minimize downtime, you can close out of virtual machines to the inventory and put them on another host/cluster.

• Warning disconnect ESX host

  Hi, I have 6 ESX 4.0 host configured in vSphere. For some reason a host suddenly started to disconnect. As soon as I click on connect it comes back, just so he could fall again a few minutes later. The only alarm I get is host to connect and the power status. It would be easier to solve if I couldn't reconnect, but this isn't the case...

  .. .and you've restarted the management agents?  VPX so happening?

• New ESX host cannot see SAN fiber - Clariion

  Hello

  I spent about two hours, passing through communities and have tried various things without success... basically, I have a new ESX host that I've built, configured, and networked, but I can't see our existing SAN.

  The SAN is a Clariion CX3 - 10 c and it hosts all of our existing VMs (we currently have two hosts attached to the SAN)

  I have installed the CLI and Navisphere agent on the new host

  I have started to host and that you have ENABLED the two adapters Emulex HBA (host contains two HBAs installed) because they showed as disabled by default BIOS

  I have one of the HBAs connected to the fibre switch

  On the fibre switch, I have a flickering green light where I plugged the fiber cable, which makes me think, it is connected OK

  On the HBA, I have a green light and an orange light blink, which still makes me think the wiring is correct

  BUT I do not see the front Navisphere host, and the host cannot see all storage even after re-reading.

  Any ideas what to try next? I suspect that it is perhaps something to do with zoning - I must say the Emulex HBA how to find storage processors? If so, how can I go about it? From the BIOS by restarting the host and pressing ALT - E?

  Any help or advice appreciated...

  Assuming that hard zoning this site should provide you with some

  Help

  http://TechNotes.twosmallcoins.com/?p=16

  Also once the switch is zoned if the host is not listed on

  the Clariion Navisphere agent system has a config file that needs to be updated

  with the IP addresses of the SPs.

  You can also manually enter the host if necessary, but your

  probably zoning question.

• 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»

• All virtual machines on my ESX host off power at the same time

  Hi all

  Recently I attend the interview. a guy asked me this question

  < police = "Times New Roman, serif" >all virtual machines on my power off ESX at the same time host < / police >< / police >?

  What was the cause of the highest of the error, how to troubleshoot the error.please me.anybody guide to address this problem?

  Thanks

  Surya

  If all the virtual machines if lower at the same time, my bet would be VMware HA. Just for fun, build it inside your head:

  (1) 8 ESX nodes, all service consoles connected to a unique management switch.

  (2) now to create a cluster of these nodes, put all your virtual machines in there and activate HA, choose ' host isolation response: power off.

  (3) draw power from your management switch. HA on each host will deduct that the host is isolated-> turn off all the virtual machines.

  Each host will think the same thing, and hop find you with all virtual machines down to the time in the whole of the cluster. Have seen this one several times when people go and upgrade their management switches in the evening ("hey, it's only management").

• If the ESX host in cluster lost the connection to the storage what will happen?

  Hello everyone

  Could someone clarify if the HA agent monitors the availability of storage on an ESX host or is it only the availability of the network on the vSwitch COS?

  Thanx

  working with your team of storage, they probably have the right tools to monitor and alert to such problems.

• Cannot add to the vCenter VM inventory

  Hello.  I found the file for a virtual machine on one of our data warehouses.  I don't see the virtual machine in Virtual Center.  When I try to add to the inventory, I get the following error:

• Connection to the client with VSphere ESX host makes me download the old version of the VSphere client

  Welcome the OS Version: 5.1.0 - 2013

  Question: When I connect to my guests with the VSphere client it forces me to re-download the VSphere client. As you can see from the attached PDF there pretty much all installed versions. Yet, he's trying to go to vsphereclient.vmware.com to try to download again (which cannot because it is on a closed network). It is meaningless to me, as you can see I have all versions of the installed client. My boss who also has the same installed versions can connect. Actually, I installed 5.1 client so that should be enough. VSphere shows the host to 5.1.0 - 2013.

  Why is this not with my Vsphere client?

  Looks like your Client vSphere is version 5.1.0b (source: Match VMware vCenter 5.1 component Versions |) Virten.NET) and your ESXi host is version 5.1 Patch 4 (KB VMware: Products VMware correlating build numbers to update level )

  You need download the vSphere Client 5.1 update 2 version to directly connect to this host.
