DRS cluster: You can mix 4.1 ESX and ESXi 4.1?

Similar Questions

• VMotion with ESX and ESXi in the same cluster.

  My client wants to spend his whole army ESX 4.0 to ESXi 4.1 host. I know that it requires a clean install of the host. But vMotion always works in a cluster with a mix of the host ESX 4.0 and ESXi 4.1?

  You will be fine to have a mixed group of ESX and ESXi hosts.

• You can mix width variable shots?

  I use Illustrator CS5 and cannot mix features of variable width in Illustrator. I can't do that even with the same profiles in width unless they are developed. I couldn't find questions similar to this topic on the net, but dream to double check before I made the necessary changes. I'm a little confused because Adobe 'help' shows how powerful blends of objects are, but we cannot have them like the strokes?

  I want to keep the mixture as shots do not increase them. What is the best way to see how the mix will look like a width to increase and then "undo" a bunch of times.

  One more quick question, but is there a quick access key to extend the mixture without entering the object-mixture-develop? I guess I could create a keyboard shortcut to expand appearance?

  Thank you!

  You can mix them, but it is necessary that initial objects have identical profiles and the weight of the race.

  As soon as you change the profile or the weight of the race into the mix, it does not work as you expect.

  Probably just half-baked.

• 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.

• Need a powercli script to create a new account a local administrator on all ESX and ESXi hosts in the vcenter

  Hi all

  If someone can help me with a powercli script to create a new account a local administrator on all ESX and ESXi hosts in the vcenter, create a role called admin and give all access except the root. This shoulb be past by a virtual centre.

  Very much appreciated to help him.

  Kind regards

  MelLvin

  I suspect that you posted your question to the wrong thread

  This requires only a minor change to the script above actually.

  Something like that

  $groupName = "group"$accountName = "user"$accountPswd = "password"$accountDescription = "A user"
  
  $esxlist = Get-VMHostforeach($esx in $esxlist){    Connect-VIServer -Server $esx -User root -Password "password"
  
      Try {      Get-VMHostAccount -Id $groupName -Group -ErrorAction Stop | Out-Null    }    Catch {      New-VMHostAccount -Id $groupName -GroupAccount | Out-Null    }
  
      $rootFolder = Get-Folder -Name ha-folder-root    Try{        $account = Get-VMHostAccount -Id $accountName -ErrorAction Stop |        Set-VMHostAccount -Password $accountPswd -Description $accountDescription -AssignGroups $groupName    }    Catch{        $account = New-VMHostAccount -Id $accountName -Password $accountPswd -Description $accountDescription -UserAccount -GrantShellAccess -AssignGroups $groupName    }
  
      $rootFolder = Get-Folder -Name ha-folder-root    New-VIPermission -Entity $rootFolder -Principal $account -Role admin
  
      Disconnect-VIServer -Confirm:$false}
  

• Script - missing and hotfixes installed for ESX and ESXi

  Can I have the script i.e. missing and hotfixes installed for ESX and ESXi using the CLI power only? out put should be csv format

  You reset the content of the table $Results on each iteration of the baseline.

  Try like this

  $Results = @()
  foreach($esx in Get-VMHost) {
    foreach($baseline in (Get-Compliance -Entity $esx -Detailed | where {$_.Status -eq "NotCompliant"})){
      $Results += $baseline.CompliantPatches |    Select @{N="Host";E={$esx.Name}},    @{N="Status";E={"Compliant"}},    @{N="Baseline";E={$baseline.Baseline.Name}},Name,ReleaseDate,IdByVendor,    @{N="KB";E={(Select-String "(?http://[\w|\.|/]*\w{1})" -InputObject $_.Description).Matches[0].Groups['url'].Value}}
  
      $Results += $baseline.NotCompliantPatches |    Select @{N="Host";E={$esx.Name}},    @{N="Status";E={"NotCompliant"}},    @{N="Baseline";E={$baseline.Baseline.Name}},Name,ReleaseDate,IdByVendor,    @{N="KB";E={(Select-String "(?http://[\w|\.|/]*\w{1})" -InputObject $_.Description).Matches[0].Groups['url'].Value}}
    }
  }
  $Results
  

  It will give the installed and lack of patches which are defined in the non-compliant baslines related to the ESXi host.

  If you want to see all the lines, also the most consistent, omit the Where clause on the base line (foreach) loop.

• Differences between ESX and ESXi

  Hai,

  As I am new to VI environment I doubt that where features ESX and ESXi are different, it may be stupid but can help me a lot.

  Hello

  Please check the link to the differences between ESX and ESXi below.

  http://www.VMware.com/products/vSphere/ESXi-and-ESX/compare.html

  Please note ESX is present in version 3.x, 4.x. starting vsphere 5.0, we have only ESXi.

  ESXi doesnot have a service console and has the smallest footprint of 70 MB and so is safer and more reliable, because it has a smaller surface set.

  Please allow points if you find the article useful.

  Thank you

• Switching between ESX and ESXi

  I currently have 3 servers with 1 running an Openfiler SAN with my VM on them.  I have on the other 2 servers what ESX installed on SATA hard drives.  Now I want to install ESXi on a USB pen because of the license of the ESX trial and wanting a more permanent Setup for my lab at home (still need to study ESX on and wasting his time with for my VCP I intend to take in 2011).  I want to put in place a system dual boot where I can either start in ESX or ESXi.  My question is if I say a VM in ESX I'll be able to see that VM in ESXi or vice versa (or at least be able to import them)?

  Cheers for any help.

  Yes, you can, as long as the ESX or ESXi the can access the openfiler VMFS (you may need to represent as the IQN name would change after). Browse the data store > folder VM - > right click on the vm - name.vmx and save the virtual machine. Maximum power and there you go...

• Is it possible to use GPFS or another build is a SAN storage shared for multiple ESX and ESXi hosts?

  We have a license GPFS and SAN storage. I am trying to create a storage shared for multiple ESX and ESXi hosts share existing virtual machines. We tried once NFS, it of a little slow and consume too much bandwidth LAN.

  Anyone can help answer? Thank you very much in advance!

  It depends on your storage space.

  You must connect all hosts to the same San, then follow the configuration guide of ESXi and specific documentation for your storage space (for sharing LUNS on multiple hosts).

• ESX and ESXi

  What are the fundamental differences between ESX and ESXi. Someone could it say please interview point of view. Just need about 4 to 5 differences.

  Thank you

  Prashant

  The difference between ESX and ESXi, ESX was the classic version with a dedicated Service console embarked with him, however, ESXi is the version of Vsphere without the Console service. Because ESXi is without the service console, so its size is very small and its called summer have footprint small disc. With the release of VSphere VMware 5.0 and later versions has deprecated the classic ESX version there is therefore no now unavailable ESX and we only ESXi now.

• How can I use Tracert to and ESXi 4.1 host?

  How can I use Tracert to and ESXi 4.1 host?  I tried Tracepath and get "command not found", like tracert. I sswear I did this before 3.0 days.  I looked in/usr/sbin not tracepath or tracert.  I don't know I'm missing something very obvious.  I do not have access to this host console, but I ran the "check network connections" of the console and he spent when I place this host.

  ESXi is not a Linux console as ESX 3.x did. He uses a tiny console shipped based on busybox and missing most of the commands that would be available in a full Linux installation.

• store of data sharing between ESX and ESXi?

• You can mix apps in the app drawer?

  Can mix us our apps in the app drawer? If yes how are you?

  The great phones btw.

  Thank you

  None that I know. There might be a few home replacement of 3rd party applications that will be, but not from personal knowledge.

  You don't have the Favorites tab in the app if drawer. If you open the app drawer and either press the star at the top left, or drag from left to right you will see the Favorites tab. You can put your favorite apps here for quick and easy access. I hope this helps.

• You can mix SAS and SATA drives in a RAID 1 PowerEdge T110 II configuration

  Hello

  I have a RAID 1 configuration and one of the two drives in the array has failed.  I've removed and replaced by another drive hoping the Dell Perc adapter H200 would rebuild the mirror automatically, but it does not.  In Server Admin OpenManage virtual disk displays as degraded.  The issue I think may be the replacement drive is SATA where the original was SAS.

  Is there a way you can make the adapter accepts a SATA drive or is it simply not supported?

  SIV

  Hello.

  Dell controllers, including the H200 are not supported mixing SAS, SATA or SSD in the same table. They may, however, each separately constitute a virtual disk on the same controller. Consider replacing the disk failing another identical or higher capacity SAS drive.

• May 4 ESX and ESXi 4.1 exist in the same Cluster?

  Hello all-

  Installation program:

  vSphere 4.0 Infrastructure

  • CLUSTER1 = 2 ESX 4.0 hosts (Enterprise license) (HA/DRS)

  • Networking is standard vSwitches

  • Storage is Compellent SAN Fiber Channel

  • About 20 mV

  • 2 = 2 ESX 4.0 hosts (EnterprisePlus licenses) cluster (HA/DRS)

  • Networking is Cisco Nexus 1000v Distributed Virtual Switch

  • Storage is Compellent SAN Fiber Channel

  • About 15 virtual machines

  The question is this:

  How can I upgrade correctly these four hosts 4 ESX to ESXi 4.1 with very little or no interruption of service?   Yet once ESX 4 & gt; ESXi 4.1

  Notes:

  • Assume that I already have vCenter Server 4.1 installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 with a compatible SQL database.

  More information?  I can provide.  Can I just disable HA/DRS, upgrade to a host at a time and then add it to the respective cluster and configure?  What difficulties will be the Nexus switch vDS cause?

  -Matt

  Yes, the exception would you use FT - http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1013637.
