• Cannot add the ESX 6.0 host to vCenter Server 6.0

  OK, I'm testing laboratory a vsan 6.0 cluster.

  I have my running 6.0.0 esx hosts and vcenter server is 6.0.0 also.

  I have the services platform on a virtual machine and vcenter on another. I was able to create a data center, then a cluster below.

  Then I went to try to add a host to my group and I get this error...

  Failed to contact the specified host (hostname\IP). The host may not be available on the network, may have a network configuration problem, or that the management on this host services may not respond.

  
  

  Per this KB: KB VMware: Add a host VMware ESXi/ESX from VMware vCenter Server fails

  
  

  I confirmed that my vcenter server and platform services server can see all esx hosts. From the vcenter server, it can ping the host esx and PuTTY can access all of them. I even installed the client and it can connect to all esx hosts. I used the netbios name, IP and FULL domain name and they all work.

  I have only a single subnet, so this isn't a problem. DNS resolution works in all areas of both sides, vcenter esx hosts and host esx to vcenter.

  
  

  I am quite puzzled.
  

  
  

  
  

  OK, after working with VMware on this issue, I think that I thought about it.

  All my hosts are DL360 G6 servers.

  My hosts are run the same build «VMware-ESXi-6.0.0-2494585-HP-600.9.2.38-Mar2015.iso» ESX Downloaded from HP.

  All buildings are in trial mode.

  After placing a call to VMware, they had me build some ESX VM, the services of the platform and the vcenter VM on an ESX host. We suspended because it took all day to go upward.

  Once I woke up all the parts (sql server, esx vm, server platform & vcenter) in virtualization nested, I created my data center, then Cluster then added the ESX host.

  The hosts added properly, no error. Then I remembered when I installed ESX inside a virtual machine, I am angry that the iso, I had the habit of HP does not work in my VM nested due to virtualized hardware.

  Then a fire came into my head. We will rebuild all of the physical cluster but NOT use the CV provided the iso file but use VMware provided iso file "VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 6.0.0 - 2159203.x86_64.iso".

  I did it today. I have rebuilt all hosts with the provided iso file VMware ESX...

  Spun SQL Server vCenter, service platform, all VM VM VM you need. My AD & DNS VM are on another server, so he has been upwards all the time.

  Connected to the web interface (yuck!).

  Created my data center...

  Created my Cluster...

  Add all my Cluster hosts.

  All of this worked!

  Therefore, if you encounter the same problem, I'm plan to generate your with the provided iso file VMware ESX hosts and try it. In my case, the provided HP iso file didn't work properly for me.

  I also downloaded the iso file of HP 2 other times to make sure and do a validation test and it did the same thing.

• Cannot add ESXi host to vCenter Server

  Hello

  I created a home set up a VMware datacenter for study purposes. I currently have 2 virtual machines: an ESXi host with vCenter Server Appliance deployed on this subject.

  I configured the server vCenter through web interface device and I have connected using vSphere Client.

  I created a data center, but when I try to add a host, I get "ERROR: the request exceeded."
  Connection with vSphere client directly to the ESXi host works.

  I can connect using SSH to the ESXi host.

  I have disabled the firewall on the ESXi host.

  I have read many articles on the kbase but nothing helped me to solve this problem.

  You have any ideas?

  I finally got to understand.

  It seems like my vmware workstation is not connected to the esxi as a physical host in my local network host, and so I was able to ping it unit of vCenter Server (but it worked the other way around, and that's why I thought it was ok).

  After the connection to the physical LAN of VMware workstation settings, everything worked fine.

• 'Disconnect' a managed host to vCenter Server: practical application?

  The vSphere client offers the possibility to "unplug" a managed host to vCenter Server (right-click > disconnect).

  I was wondering in what situations it would be used/useful? He influence the virtual machines running on the host? Is "reconnect" everything just like linking to the departure to a new host?

  mudage

  Here is what I use the button disconnect to:

  I have an old vCenter 4 install with 10 ESXi 4.0 hosts, I now build a vCenter 5.5 system and need to migrate to this vCenter but I can't have all the time.

  So, I hit the button disconnect and then add the ESXi 4.0 host in my new vCenter, then at my convenience I then host 4.0 on a host 5.5 vmotion.

  I hope this makes sense to you.

  Simon.

• Cannot add host to vCenter server as data store is shared with an existing host to vCenter

  Recently, I removed a physical host to a virtual appliance of vCenter Server and am not able to add it to vCenter Server because I get an error message on the existing data store.  I run a simple server vCenter environment with two physical hosts and shared storage.  I've only been administering vCenter for a few months, so I'm relatively new on the technology and processes.  I searched the Internet for a few days now, but have not found documentation everyone has the same problem I have (which I find strange considering the simplicity my problem and configuration), so I tried to get help from the community of VMware.

  I received an error message a day this vCenter Server cannot connect to either of the two hosts so I removed the host (rather than disconnect and plug as I should have done).  Now, I am not able to connect to the host to vCenter server because the shared storage data store comes into conflict with the same data store used by the host in vCenter Server.  I get the error message is ' "Datastore"datastore_name"is in conflict with a store of data that exists in the data center which has the same URL (ds: / / / vmfs/volumes/UUID /), but is supported by different physical storage." "  I try to remove the host data store, but get the following error message: "resource" data store name: datastore_name VMFS uuid: UUID' is in use. ".  The error stack said: "'HostStorageSystem.UnmountVmfsVolume' call failed for object 'storage system' on ESXi"IP address"."  Cannot unmount volume ' data store name: datastore_name VMFS uuid: 'UUID' because the file system is busy. Correct the problem and retry the operation. "I tried to delete all virtual machines of the inventory, put the hosts in maintenance mode, restart physical hosts, but none of my troubleshooting contributes.

  I don't know what steps to take to get this data store driving with the host so that I can add it in vCenter Server.  You can provide me with any help is appreciated.

  Good thing you already moved the VMs on.  For what is 'disconnect', 'remove' or 'delete' might work anyway.  You should maybe put the host in maintenance mode or even reboot the host before you can remove data warehouses.  In an extreme case, I even had to remove the host and the hypervisor installed completely rebuild on the spot.  It is not that difficult or does not take long to reinstall, so be not afraid on this subject.  A clean reinstall could still save time compared to the deletion of data warehouses.

• Possibility of setting up new vSphere 4 and pass the ESX 3.5 hosts?

  The upgrade path makes me nervous (am I too paranoid?).

  In any case, I have enough material and storage SAN to configure a new vSphere environment.

  Is it possible to install a new enviornemnt and separate vSphere 4 and then migrate the 3.5 environment hosts? The doc has always start with VC upgrade to version 4 and be careful not to break stuff...

  I actually finished a project a few days ago in this respect. I deleted the machine virtual old inventory, moved with the former VM of the LUN to the storage for the new environment group and added to the inventory again. Of course, if you do not use the same storage, it will be more in depth, but it certainly can be done. The plan was to do what weinstein said in his post, regarding the old host to the new Victoria Cross add, but I move the first LUN and had to finish like I did. It went well and I don't have problems with the virtual machine again.

  (1) see the vcenter and esxi version, you cannot add higer version esxi on low vcenters version. and also 2) check the dns resolution on the two esxi as well vcenter.  (try adding with the IP address of the host). If it is not the case, check the logs of Vpxa

• Adding ESX 3.0 hosts to Vcenter 4.0

  Hi all

  I have a question I need help with that.  We have 4 standard Vcenter and we have some 3.0/3.5 hosts old, that we're going to retire but want to manage in Vcenter until we do.   I Vcenter configured to use the same licenses as virtual Center 2.5 server, [email protected].  It is also checked to "Reconfigure the ESX hosts to use this license server."

  When I try to add a host, I get the following:

  The license server vCenter Server GMT - VC [email protected] do not include agent for ESX Server vcenter, upgrade licenses on the license server.

  Can we manage not hosts 3.0 and 3.5 of the Vcenter 4 without buying new licenses?

• Migration 4 and 3.5 ESX hosts again vCenter Server 4.0

  I'll put up a new vCenter Server 4.0 with an Oracle database to take the place of two vCenter using express databases included. They are both on the hosts recommended 5-50 VM for the Express database, oops.

  The first is vCenter 4.0 which uses the express database included is on a Dell 1950 server. ESX 4.0 hosts are on 2 groups on Dell blade servers that have 5 blades per cluster and are using storage arrays EqualLogic iSCSI for data warehouses. More there are a few individual Dell R900 and Dell R710 servers use local storage connected to the vCenter.

  The second is vCenter 2.5 that uses the express database included running on a Dell 2950 server with, like 20 other Dell running ESX 3.5 of 2950 using local storage.

  Looking for a vision a little and advise the host migration to the new server vCenter Server.

  Thank you... Jim Hurley

  I would say the easiest would be to create new vCenter new host OS (I would choose 64 bits that will put you in the conditions required for 4.1).  Once the new vCenter Server online, I then install a standalone license server for your VI3 hosts, then begin to disconnect and remove other environments and new hosts.

• Manage ESX 4.1i hosts to vCenter 4.0 Server

  We currently have an installation vCenter 4.0 with a bit of configuration inside.  It handles 8 ESXi 4.0 hosts.   We recently inherrited 2 4.1 ESXi hosts and wish to manage these hosts with the server vCenter 4.0.   The hosts are across a firewall.  We opened all the ports required by the firewall and no longer see no traffic blocked at the firewall level.   Successfully, we can add 4.1 guests to our installation vcenter but in 10 seconds to set up communications, vCenter loses its connection to the 4.1 hosts.   Is it possible that the issue we have is that agent vCenter 4.0 is not compatible with ESX 4.1i hosts before?    Thank you.

  We recently inherrited 2 4.1 ESXi hosts and wish to manage these hosts with the server vCenter 4.0.

  Have you read the manual?  You must be at 4.1 to manage 4.1 hosts, period.

  Is it possible that the issue we have is that agent vCenter 4.0 is not compatible with ESX 4.1i hosts before?

  Is it true, what keeps you upgrade to 4.1?  It is a piece of cake, takes every 10 minutes.

• Is it possible to add the ESXi 4.1 host to vCenter 4.0

  Hello

  When I try to add ESXi 4.1 hot to vCenter 4.0, after a few seconds, esxi 4.1 is disconnecting to form vCenter 4.0.

  I have two blades, one blade server has ESXi 4.0 and another has ESXi 4.1. Can I manage the two hosts to vCenter 4.0.

  Note: I can not upgrade my ESXi 4.0 to 4.1, I need to test my product on both versions.

  Thanks in advance.

• RISKS associated with the absence of a SYS logs for newspapers and ESXi host newspapers vCenter Server

  What is the inherent risk to not configure a server of SYS logs. The sys normal newspapers configured in the data store have a maximum

  amount of storage restrictions or it develops utlize the configured size of the data store. Thank you very much for your answers.

  Locally stored logs to rotate and do not grow very big at all. I see no technical risk associated to this as filling a data store, etc.

• Process of upgrading 3.5 host with vCenter server Virtual

  Hi I have recently updated my old server from client to vCenter 4.1 virtualized VI, sitting on my 3.5 cluster.  I intend to use the Update Manager to upgrade my guests, but I don't know how the virtual vCenter server is going to face?  The plan was: 1. move all the virtual machines off-host 1.  2 put the host in maintenance mode 1. 3. on the vCenter server, create a base, then line at host level 1 to 4.1. 4. now - at this point add this host in the cluster? And migrate the server vCenter top, so I can upgrade the other two hosts?  If the works above, then it should be quite a nice update, if you cannot add the new version of the host of back in, how you vMotion the vCenter server off so you can keep control of the cluster.

  IMO, it should work. To upgrade from 3.5 to 4.1, your ESX host must be in 5 update (see http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_upgrade_guide.pdf) already.

  If VMotion or migrate the server vCenter Server - for some reason-does not work, you can delete vCenter Server of the inventory of the old host and add to the inventory of the new host.

• Manage an ESXi host using vCenter Server?

  I understand it is possible and requires of the specific licenses for ESXi hosts, even if I find information on the VMWare site a bit confused as to what I need exactly. We have-

  1 License Server Standard 4 x vCenter

  4 x vSphere Enterprise license 4 (who manage our ESX 4 hosts this site)

  3 (and soon 4) remote sites that have the same server ESXi

  I would like to be able to manage ESXi host using vCenter as well, is this possible with what we have? If this isn't the case, can someone direct me as to what it takes?

  Thank you

  You need the standard by CPU socket for each host license to add to vCenter.

  You can always create a separate environment and get the Essentials Bundle (up to 3 guests max) for $500:

  So you should have 2 vCenter servers.
