• Electrodes for ESX 3.5 Update 4 (build 153875, early release 2009/03/30)

  I update document to build our ESX company for new servers and one of the steps-after installing ESX 3.5 U4- is to get the latest patches of 'CRITICISM' http://support.vmware.com/selfsupport/download/

  We do not update - manager

  ---

  not yet-

  don't ask.  We are always pleased with esxupdate.  In any case, I went to http://support.vmware.com/selfsupport/download/ and unfortunately, I'm a little confused when it comes to the stuff of ESX 3.5.  But after some trial and error on the use of this site, I think I've found the following is true:

  1. do not take into account ALL the patches dated on 30/03/2009, as those who are already installed with the image ISO of ESX 3.5 U4.  This has been confirmed by "esxupdate query.  It shows these all listed/installed.  I guess it makes sense, since the data on the release of ESX 3.5 U4 / 153875 Build is just that - 30/03/2009.

  2. list all patches for ESX 3.5, all classifications and sort by date.  This will show the patches AFTER 30/03/2009, which are available AFTER the ESX 3.5 U4 ONLY really put patches / Build 153875 iso image has been released for download.   This really translates into the listing of all available patches FROM 153875 build is actually released.  As of today, there are 10 patches with April 2009 dates and 5 patches with may 2009 dates.

  I'm sure that many of you know already all this, but since I'm new to 3.5 built and have not used this site 'free service' for some time, it took me some time to "understand it".  I am also curious to know if someone told comments.

  If you are looking to document a procedure, your best bet would be to include:

  Check the release ISO date before starting the installation.

  Based on the release date control patches that were released after release date. This means that all the patches would be new which is not part of the iso image.

  I hope this helps.

• Change the path information for ESX ESXi hosts to access

  Hello all! I hope you guys can help me.

  I have about 47 hosts that I need to change it Round Robin storage path information. If I make the change in vCenter and restart the host it again changing fixed. So, I thought that I should change it to the level of the host through esxicli.

  I have about twice as many LUNS of the Hitachi SAN. I'd like to see if it is possible to make the change in all areas, in some way, or I need to make the change by host? Also, is there anything that I need to change sides San so that it works or not.

  I saw this VMware KB: modification of path information for ESX/ESXi hosts to access and assume that it is the best plan? But did not know of all put into custody, if necessary, that everyone ran to when doing this?

  You will need to make the change by the host and the KB you'll find is the right method.

• 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.

• is there a troubleshooting guide for ESX?

  is there a troubleshooting guide for ESX?

  I don't know that I've seen a guide unless you want to count the documentation that comes with vSphere.  It is always useful to information being there and I always like looking site KB http://kb.vmware.com whenever I have questions.

• Unable to connect to target iSCSI for ESX 3.5

  Hi all

  I have an esx 3.5 build 82663 (update 1). We took over this company, so we are migrating this data center. I understand tha patch isn't 5 update but it wasn't our environment and we try to turn it on.

  We have three esx servers

  (1) console production svc - 192.168.7.x

  (2) storage network - 192.168.9.x

  EqualLogic 3)-192.168.9.x

  (4) storage Switch - CISCO 3750 Switch

  (5) frames enabled on vswitch, vmknic, physical, switch, network interface cards, table vlan and storage.

  (6) software iscsi client allowed an outgoing connection through 3260 (tcp)

  Performed troubleshooting

  esxcfg-vmknic - l - seems ok and with activated jumbo frames

  esxcfg-NICS - l - looks ok with activated jumbo frames

  esxcfg-vswitch - l - looks ok with activated jumbo frames

  esxcfg-road - l - (looks good)

  192.168.7.0 255.255.255.0 local subnet

  192.168.9.0 255.255.255.0 local subnet

  by default 0.0.0.0 192.168.7.1

  Works of vmkping between the storage network interfaces (192.168.7.x) i.e. physical switch, equallogic, and other interfaces for esx storage network.

  vmkping s 9000 192.168.9.11 (equallogic san) works without packet loss.

  Ping does not work between interfaces.

  Ping of physical switch to the san and esx equallogic storage network interfaces work

  Access to LUNS equallogic shared among interfaces are restrticted by the ip address of storage network (192.168.9.x). The LUNS they check marks against them to have several initiators communicate with them.

  No enabled chap authentication anywhere.

  I had another server with the same configuration connection to it without problems to the only difference is esxi can be accessed and the esx servers cannot access.

  Our environment has been only esxi. This is the first time I use esx and a system of update 1 for iSCSI.

  I'm on the critical path to complete the project.

  It would be useful that I can get all the help you can.

  See you soon,.

  Knockaert

  If I'm not mistaken in your service console needed to have access to the storage network 3.5 too.  Try to configure a second service on the storage network console and see if you can view the LUNS.   Can also be useful to filter through the vmkernel logs and see if you notice any errors.

• VMware ESXi for ESX 4

  Hello

  Someone know if can I upgrade my ESX 3i (3.5.0) to VMware vSphere (ESX 4)?

  Thank you

  You can't spend of ESX ESXi... ESX to ESX and ESXi for ESXi only... At least, not as an 'upgrade '. Provided that your host is on the HCL for ESX/ESXi 4 (u1 as well), then you can install it. This will be a facility of cleaning/charges however, wiping the LUN which ESX is installed on.

  You might want to stay on ESXi however, given that ESX is pretty much going to end with the 4.x releases (at least this is what I mean)... The released product in 2011 only is not available in two flavors, just ESXi...

  The ESX CLI, consider using the device of vMA and element vSphere CLI on your vCenter Server installation. You can also install the PowerCLI element to win these CLI scripting options.

• MB for ESX 4 - support

  Basic question - I have a supermicro MB and did not find anything in a search of the knowledge base - PDSML-LN2 + - I also use a 3Ware raid card (although why he ordered of I don't know since a radi aboard MB).  I tried to find a link for support for ESX 4.0 MB - would appreciate a point in the right direction.  Thanks in advance.

  I'm not sure that you will find a list of supported outside enterprise systems hardware.  The first place to check would be the Hardware Compatibility Guide.

  It lists no specific motherboards.  On the top of my head, I would say that it is probably not supported, but I have expereince with outside lines on HP Server hardware.  If you can't find the correct information, just try to install it, the worst case that it does not work.

  If you try to install this feature for testing, you can load windows or linux and install ESX/ESXi in VMware Server 2.

• LVM. EnableResignature for ESX 4.0

  Hello

  For ESX 4.0, I'm not able to see this lvm.enableresignature option.

  I want to do my visible Snap Server ESX (4.0) via API.

  For the old version it works fine.

  Any help?

  -AsHwIN

  With vSphere, is is no longer the case of update of the advanced configuration option, VMware has introduced a new esxcfg-* command called esxcfg-volume as explained here by Duncan Epping post: http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2009/03/13/vmfs-recognized-as-a-snapshot-what-to-do-exploringthe-next-version-of-esx/

  The new API call that should be used is *ResignatureUnresolvedVmfsVolume_Task and you can take a look at how this is implemented by looking at the source code of the esxcfg-volume vCLI which is just using the vSphere SDK for Perl

• No cos found NIC error starting pxe for ESX 4.0

  Hello

  I am facing the following problem when trying to boot PXE Vmware Vsphere (ESX 4.0). I'm stuck at the error message which said 'no cos NICS found' Please find attached to this screenshot.

  I would like to briefly on what I'm trying to do here:

  I try to perform a boot PXE Vmware Vsphere on Vmware Workstation and have managed to a point, until I get this weird error mentioned above.

  (1) used Vmware Workstation version is 6.5.0

  (2) confg H/W:

  Lenovo T61 laptop computer with processor intel core duo x 86 and virtualization enabled in BIOS

  delivered with 2 physical network cards & wireless and 2 GB of RAM.

  (3) PXE server is running on RHEL5 32 bit platform. I have a DHCP, Kickstart and PXE server to run out of this box. DHCP works perfectly well without any problem but when it is a step for the identification of the host name.

  IP and so forth he said cos NICs not found and I see my dhcp server attempts to assign dynamic IP and it also displays no signal thank you.

  I have PXE starts ESX 3.5 with no problems and it worked like a charm. This is the first time, I ran into problems of this kind. I manually installed ESX 4.0 but it seems no more using the anaconda Installer and

  the installation of the Poles kickstart file created is very discreet and does not contain sufficient information to customize the script is below.

  Please find the entry that I have under the pxelinux.cfg directory on my PXE server:

  label esx4.0

  kernel esx4.0 - vmlinuz

  append initrd = esx4.0 - initrd.img mem = 512 M quiet ks = FTP:///pub/kickstart/ESX4.0.cfg ksdevice = vmnic0

  I'm also willing to share my script to start with you. Please find attached the script below. Kindly let me know how to proceed further. I would be really grateful if you could suggest if any changes to do to my

  startup script.

  See you soon,.

• Best RAID for ESX 3.5 Configuration

  Hi all.

  I was wondering, what is the best configuration of RAID for ESX 3.5 performance?

  I have a HP DL360 G5 Proliant with several SAS drives.

  It will be better to make a RAID 5 o RAID1?

  Thank you!

  There is no best RAID for ESX. Depends on VM disk usage profile - so if you plan to install SQL server and then create RAID appropriate for SQL server.

• Copy the VM from USB for ESX 4.0?

  I have all the files that make up a virtual computer on an external drive (40 GB of data).  I need to get them on a new server ESX 4.0.  What is the fastest way to similest to do this?  Can I mount the service console USB drive and just copy the files?  Is there a conversion process that must work because they are 3.5 and I put them on a 4.0 Server?  Thank you.

  Means the faster is to log on to your workstation and use VMware Converter or Veeam FastSCP for ESX move data.

• solution for ESX iSCSI SAN

  Hello.

  We are looking into getting a SAN iSCSI for ESX.

  On readers, y at - there a big difference between sata and sas and sas 10K vs 15K?

  How iSCSI performance are compared to the SAN fiber?

  Can you guys recommend an iSCSI solution right?

  Excerpt from Dell PS4000 and it seems to be a good product.

  (On players, is there a big difference between sata and sas and sas 10K vs 15K?)

  Yes, 15 k SAS are faster and a bit more expensive, but worth it!

  (How iSCSI performance are compared to the fiber SAN?)

  ISCSI SAN is not as fast as the fiber, but compared to the local drive is a big improvement for your applications, users, etc.

  (You guys can recommend a good iSCSI solution?)

  Personally, I think Dell equallogic are great! PS600XV is what I put in place.
