• How to move a virtual machine to another host ESXi running when HA vCenter is not operational... !

  Hey

  We have a few guests of ESXi running the 5.0.0 original version and some running the latest 5.1 U1 or whatever and the last vCenter to do this too.

  the vCenter server is one of the hosts running 5.0.0 and these do not allow HA either active correctly. The problem is a known bug, and you switch to maintenance mode and do funky stuff on the cli to make it work. However, I just want to spend all my virtual machines off the old 5.0.0. hosts and on the new, as the 'old' will be dismantled. I can do all virtual machines by just when close them down and moving off, but I won't be able to do this in with the vm off vCenter vCenter!

  can I turn off, connect directly to the ESXi host, remove it its inventory (this option exists even on the ESXi host live?) and save it to the new 5.1.0 host U1 and fire?

  vCenter complain or fail when she returns to the top?

  they share all the same warehouses of data, so I need to move the backend.

  thoughts?

  Thank you

  HA and vMotion (i.e. live migration) are two different things and are independent of each other, so if vMotion is configured correctly, you should be able to migrate the virtual machines (including the vCenter Server VM) to another host.

• Moving the virtual machine containing vCenter to another host ESXI

  I am currently learning/building my first setup of virtualization. I made the mistake of letting the size of the block of the data warehouses to 1 MB. Now, I need to rebuild one of my stores of data.

  I could use vcenter for all my other VMS out migrate to another server esxi. I do not know how to move the VM vCenter, because he must be stopped to be moved, but I need to use the tool of migration/converter to move, which seems quite accessible from within the virtual machine.

  Any ideas?

  Stop vcenter Server and unregister (remove the inventory) of the inventory of the ESXi host. Then use example of Veeam FastSCP to copy some files/folder of the virtual machine to the other hosts data store and register the virtual machine to the inventory of the ESXi host by right-clicking the file vmx (add to the inventory). Make sure that there are no snapshots on the server vCenter Server!

• migrate from vcenter host to another host ESXi while offline?

  I need to move the virtual computers that host my vCenter and vCenter database to ESXi servers in another cluster, the new cluster uses CVS is not the case of the old Cluster. So I need to turn off two virtual machines to migrate them on.

  Would this work and be the best method?

  Stop vCenter and stop virtual machines for vCenter and the vCenter DB.

  Log in to the old esx server and unregister the VM

  VMware-cmd - s unregister /vmfs/volumes/XXX-XXX/vcenter-db/vcenter-db.vmx
  VMware-cmd - s unregister /vmfs/volumes/XXX-XXX/vcenter/vcenter.vmx

  Connect again esx Server (in the new cluster) and register VM

  VMware-cmd - s register /vmfs/volumes/XXX-XXX/vcenter-db/vcenter-db.vmx
  VMware-cmd - s register /vmfs/volumes/XXX-XXX/vcenter/vcenter.vmx

  Connect again esx Server (in the new cluster) and start the virtual machines

  VMware-cmd /vmfs/volumes/XXX-XXX/vcenter-db/vcenter-db.vmx start
  VMware-cmd /vmfs/volumes/XXX-XXX/vcenter/vcenter.vmx start

  No, you cannot vmotion - the virtual machines will be still low - will connect you directly to the ESXi hosts - unregister the form the old host vm - connect to the new host and redisster virtual machines to the new host and light - and remember cautious on the DB server first

• Convert VM residing on host to another host ESXi ESXi - impossible to get hardware information for the selected VM

  Hey guys,.

  I was wondering if someone came across this yet, but I amtrying to move a virtual machine to one ESXi server to another with converter. The virtual machine is powered OFF and when I select the virtual machine, and then click Next, I get this error "Unable to obtain information on material selected VM." I could always use FastScp but I want to resize the partition of hard drive on the virtual machine before I move it.

  Thank you!

  Hi Jonathan,.

  Can you send me the list of contents in "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\logs"?  As you have noted that these services are running that they are very likely to produce newspapers in this directory.  Also can you send me the following files as it is possible that logging can be disabled in them:

  "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\converter - server.xml" and "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\converter - agent.xml.

  You can make sure that you connect to the server local converter by going in "Administration > to connect to another server...". "in the main window of the converter.  This is different to connect to the ESX Server.  Just to make sure that the flow is clear, when you go through the wizard, it communicates with the converter server to which you are connected.  The converter server will contact the appropriate converter officer who is responsible for the collection of information from the source and run the conversion.  In this case, the appropriate converter agent is one running on the local computer. This converter agent then connects to the esx server you specified in the wizard to get the necessary information machine.

• Vcenter move to another host

  Hello

  looking for a counsellor on move my vm to host 5.1 vcenter to a new host 5.5.

  do I have to turn off all the prior vm or do I have to do a migration of the vcenter?

  Thank you

  an other options use vmware converter and do a v2v for vm on vsphere 5.1 in the old storage to vsphere 5.5 in the new storage.

  Shutdown vc on vsphere 5.1 and power on vc on vsphere 5.5.

• Problems access to vm/vsphere vcenter client after you restart host ESXi 5.5

  Hello ya'll,

  Looking at you all tips. I had a problem with a virtual machine that hung and could not turn it off. After several failed attempts to turn off the virtual machine via the cli of esxi, I decided to reboot the individual host (Server Blade Dell - 16 guests). Well, without realizing it, the server vcenter VM was this host and I have not put it off or move to another host. We have turned on but not sure if that moved to another host when I rebooted the host of vmotion.

  The host came back to the top of normal, but now I can not access the VM from the vsphere or RDP client vcenter. We did not allow web client so not sure if I can access this way, even if it wasn't initially setup.

  How can I get access to vcenter and the other 20 VM I created? Do I have to make changes via the CLI esxi?

  Any guidance would be appreciated!

  If vSphere HA is enabled in your cluster, then the VM vCenter was lit in one of the other guests. I suspect that services not started correctly after that triggered a HA under tension. Suggest that you locate the vCenter VM by logging in to each host using the root account and once found, the vCenter VM console and check services.

  Hi Michael

  Move single accommodation, should not influence seo. Change the site host requires a change in the location of the file, so no impact. However, I found a video that will understand this

• [SOLVED] How to create public keys to ssh to ESXi to another host?

  I have read a number of different sites trying to find information on how to do it properly, but I had no luck.  I'm afraid at this point I'm all mixed up or miss me something simple [painfully].

  My goal is to create keys so that I can ssh/scp, as root, the ESXi server to another server in linux/unix under a different name.  Most, if not all of the sites I found coverage today the reverse: ssh/scp from another machine to the ESXi server.  I assume that ssh ESXi-> another host via keys is possible...?

  I believe that I'm almost there, but in all honesty, I don't know.  Here's what I've done so far.

  • RSA and DSA keys with dropbear created on the ESXi Server
  • convert keys RSA and DSA dropbear ssh format
  • Cat's public RSA and DSA keys in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server that I would like to ssh/scp
    • even tried to make a copy of authorized_keys as authorized_keys2 on the destination server
    • same CAT had the public keys of the ESXi authorized_keys & authorized_keys2
  • went up to copy the private key (!) from the ESXi server on the server I ssh/scp area in

  In regards to the box, I'm remote in I

  • keys generated with ssh-keygen - t dsa and rsa
  • typed in a sentence
  • CAT had the public key in .ssh/authorized_keys on ESXi box
    • as above in desperation I added it in the file authorized_keys local
    • copied authorized_keys to authorized_keys2
  • copied private keys (!) of the destination inbox ESXi machine

  I tried ssh username FQDN, ssh username@FQDN-l and with the IP address itself, whenever I was asked for a password.  Naturally if I just ssh hostname it trying to connect as root, which is not allowed and will fail.  Again, I apologize because I'm probably all mixed now. might be wise to simply erase all keys & start over.

  Is this possible?

  Is anyone interested in lending a hand?

• Cannot move the virtual machine to another host

  Here's the situation... I am running 3 ESX 4.0 host in a cluster and I upgrade the memory on these hosts.  I put one day and now I want to use vmotion to move a virtual machine to host more memory, so I can then turn off host 2 to add more memory.

  When I try to migrate the computer to another virtual host he said "the virtual machine must be powered down for that purpose."

  I did it before with success when I first created this group with the HA and DRS settings are enabled.

  Now, I can't do this and I don't know what setting or what changed to cause it to not allow me to manually migrate a virtual computer on one host to another.

  If I wanted to put an ESX host in "Maintenance Mode" thinking that it will automatically move all VM for 2 other hosts in the cluster is not it either... I get a message saying that ' a host into maintenance mode does not any virtual machine functions... blah... blah... and continues to complete the entry into maintenance mode, all virtual machines must be closed or moved to another host. "  Manual intervention may be required.

  Again, I think that if a host is down these VMs would be move... that of the whole point of a cluster but doesn't seem to put in maintenance mode to allow them to go unless I turn off the virtual machine

  Any ideas?

  Go is one of the requirements of vMotion. The message after you had corrected the condition, I'm sure would be erased after awhile.

• Move the VM of ESXi 3.5 to Vsphere 4.0 (host chang & data store)

  I have a server ESXi 3.5 with 1.6 to with 20 VM local storage.

  Now, I want to continue to set up a cluster with a fiber channel storage. I want to know if this procedure is correct:

  Can I migrate the computer virtual host that esxi 3.5 for the new Vsphere 4.0 host connected to the SAN fiber channel?

  Are compatible vm ESXi3.5 to vspehere 4.0?

  once migrated all the VM I want format host ESXi 3.5, install Vsphere 4.0 and set the two servers in HA.

  ESXi 3.5 and 4.0 vsphere host must have the same processor?

  THANK YOU TOO MUCH.

  Hello

  You can move vms from 3,5 to 4, first of all, look at that if you move virtual machines in an othe data store, you must use svmotion or take off your virtual computer.

  You can run 3.5 vms in an esx 4 without problem. So if you want to enjoy the v4, you must first upgrade vmware tools, and the last step is to upgrade the virtual machine virtual material.

  Move all the VMS to the v4, and then reinstall the other server with esx4.

  Check the vmotion compatibility matrix and evc cluster parameters, you can mix processors intel, but not mix between amd and intel.

  hope find it you useful.

  concerning

• How one move the templates of virtual machine from one host to another host in the cluster even

  Hello

  Can you get it someone please let me know how to move the templates of virtual machine from one host to another host in the cluster even?

  Thank you

  James

  Welcome to the forums!

  Convert it to a virtual machine (right click on guest and choose the appropriateoption), move it through the migration feature (right-click Guest, and then choose "Migrate") and convert into a model (right click on guest again and choose to convert to a template).

• Travel/cloning between two hosts ESXI VM

  Hello

  I have two hosts ESXI 4.1 with VSphere Essentials for VCenter license. I'm not able to move the virtual machine to one ESXI host to another (power off). It is not supported with VSphere Essentials license? Data warehouses can be shared between the two ESXI hosts?

  What is the size of your virtual machine, what is the speed of the network and how your local storage looks like? Using RAID? How many disks and RAID level? You have a battery attached to the RAID controller write buffer cache?

  The waiting period does not necessarily mean the tasks does not work. Often it is only a delay in the vCenter Server GUI, but the process is still running and you just need to be patient. You see the files being created on the target data store?

• VMotion - VM from one host to another host

  I have a lab setup as I am new to VMware and try to move a virtual machine powered from one host to another host and errors. I have attached an image of the error. (vmotionError2.png)

  They way I run is as follows:

  System machine built running ESXi 4.1.0 260247

  Host 1

  On this, I have two ESXi 4.1.0 race 260247 VM and Vcenter Server and three other VM

  Welcome 2 (different material of co-location)

  On this I have ESXi 4.1.0 260247

  Home 3

  It is the first virtual ESXi 4.1 on the host one called ESXi41-1 that has a motor on the virtual from Windows XP Pro machine.

  Home 4

  It's the second virtual ESXi4.1 on the host one called ESXi41-2, which is where I'm vmotion Windows XP Pro VM at.

  The network cards are on 1000 full duplex.

  Any suggestion or help would be great. That's what I'm working with and try to get good at my VCP exam.

  Thanks again

  All the best, with which you could play with DRS, HA, FT and more =)

• How can I access a guest on a shared storage to another host?

  I want to better understand fail the course and the first thing I want to do is the following.

  I installed a guest disk storage fibre channel. I want to remove it from a host, and hosted it on another host.

  How can I go about it?

  With your two hosts of ESXi, you will be able to access the same LUN.  On host 2, browse the data store, right-click on the VMX file and select Add to the inventory.  You can have virtual machine saved on both hosts, but the host that is running the virtual computer locks the files if you will not be able to accidentally start the virtual machine.

  You can also consider adding the vCenter server to manage your hosts together.  Until the end of April, you can get 3 licenses VC agent for US $500 and vCenter Foundation.
