• Please help me with iSCSI software initiator setup in ESX.

  Greetings,

  I have a DELL MD3000i SAN with two controllers. Each controller has both for the multipath iSCSI network interface cards.  I've always used CF so I'm a little nervous in the implementation of iSCSI network on ESX. Please help me.

  Controller 1 port 1 is the IP 192.168.253.2

  Controller 1 port 2 is the IP 192.168.254.2

  2 1 joystick port is the IP 192.168.253.3

  2 2 joystick port is the IP 192.168.254.3

  I have Setup VLANS on my level 3 for switch vlan 253 and 254.  IP addresses are 192.168.253.1 and 192.168.254.1 respectively.

  My goal is to set up a fully redundant connection with failover support, but I can't enter the network on ESX configuration.

  I intend using two network adapters in an active / standby (one active NETWORK card on a VLAN, put on hold for the other and vice versa) configuration.

  Can someone please tell me exactly what to do to ensure the fully redundant connectivity?

  Thank you in advance.

  Yes. This look is good so far.

• SRIOV support for FreeBSD 8.4/10.1 VM with ESX 6?

  Hello experts,

  Question

  Would like to know if the SRIOV VF drivers are supported on FreeBSD 8.4/10.1 VM with ESX 6?

  Configuration information:

  In my setup, I have Intel 82599 NIC with VF interfaces configured and assigned to a virtual 10.1 FreeBSD computer.

  But claim fails with the following error message:

  ix0: Intel (r) PRO/10GbE Virtual Function Network Driver, Version - 1.1.4 > mem 0xebaf8000-0xebafbfff, 0xebafc000-0xebafffff to the 0,0 on pci3 device

  ix0: MSIX config error

  ix0: failure of PCI resource allocation

  device_attach: ix0 attach returned 6

  pcib4: < ACPI PCI - PCI bridge > camera 21.1 on pci0

  To probe further, pci_alloc_msix() call returns-1, which is unexpected.

  The PF IGB driver on esx 5.5 is 3.21.5

  The ESX version is: ESXi 5.5.0 (Build 1331820)

  If I have a Ubuntu VM affected with a VF of the same physical NETWORK adapter interface, he claims as expected.

  If I live of e/s configured for the Intel 82599 NIC, the 10.1 FreeBSD VM calls for the interface as expected

  Guidance on the support above on ESX 6.0 help.

  Kind regards

  Nirmal

  We do not have a supported guest in 6.0 OS documentation. assuming that since the previous version is not one supported. You can provide your comments to article KB KB VMware: support of the only guest operating system Root i/o Virtualization (SR - IOV).

• Virtul machine import problem

  Hello

  I had a problem when importing the VM to ESX Server.please help me for this problem of sorting.

  I downloaded these files to ESX server and move to another Esx server in different place

  Files of virtual machines

  (1) USSSTAPP125A.nvram 8.48 KB

  USSSTAPP125A 2). VMSD zero bytes

  USSSTAPP125A 3). VMX 3.05 KB

  USSSTAPP125A 4). VMXF 267 bytes

  (5) USSSTAPP125A_1 flat. 20 GB VMDK

  USSSTAPP125A_2.VMDK 6) 407 bytes

  (7) USSSTAPP125A_2 flat. 40 GB VMDK

  (8) USSSTAPP125A - flat 10 gb hard

  I want to import the file, my total size of the virtual machine is 40 GB Ony, but I had total 70 GB in the virtual machine folder, please give sugesstion to import the virtual machine in ESX server

  Please explain the VMDK types, when used, delta flat, VMDK, (Snapshot)

  You just need to take care of the VM disks while trying to move from one ESX to another. for example to download files as below

  (5) USSSTAPP125A_1 flat. 20 GB VMDK

  USSSTAPP125A_2.VMDK 6) 407 bytes

  (7) USSSTAPP125A_2 flat. 40 GB VMDK

  (8) USSSTAPP125A - flat 10 gb hard

  here - flat.vmdk is your disk real file while USSSTAPP125A_2.VMDK is known as a "disk descriptor" that points to the real disk file

  After downloading these files, import the same to another ESX Server data store. Then create a virtual computer by selecting the custom option.

  When creating the virtual machine (via mode custom), he will ask for the selection of drive hard--> the existing hard drive option and point to the files on disc you have downloaded in the data store.

  Note:-If there is a specific configuration defined in your .vmx of the VM (virtual machine Configuration file), then you can take backup this as well.

• Differences between ESXi and Vsphere hipervisor

  Hi guys,.

  I need to understand the difference between ESXI and Vsphere hipervisor.

  Is it correct to say that Vsphere ESX?

  Help will be very useful.

  Thank you very much

  vSphere is the range of products, including (hypervisor) ESX, vCenter (management) etc.

  In comparison, you asked "Is this correct to say that a shoe laces"?  No, not really.  One is a part of the whole.

• Dell PowerEdge 2950 of installation

  I'm testing DPM on a Dell PowerEdge 2950.  To make this work, I have need to configure IPMI if I can have a server go to safe mode and out of safe mode.  I've been Googling like crazy, but have been unable to find an answer on how to get this working.  Whenever I try to put my host in standby I get this message:

  vCenter has determined that it cannot resume host & lt; hostname & gt; standby; Therefore, the eve of the entry task was suspended.
  Confirm that IPMI/ILO is configured correctly for host & lt; hostname & gt;.  Or, configure vCenter to use WoL, making sure there are at least two or more hosts in the cluster, and then try the task again.

  A couple of things about this error: an it is a cluster two host (for testing purposes).  Two, I use Dell hardware so I have to use IPMI not ILO.

  I have connected my DRAC page and enabled IPMI over LAN, but I don't know what else to do here, and I don't know where all the parameters concerning this in vCenter or ESX.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Gunnar

  I used the setting of Dell OpenManage.

  Under system / main system / remote access, you can see:

  Select the IPMI Over LAN-> Yes (don't forget it is YES)

  SOIL active Yes

  XXXXXXXXXX MAC address

  IPv4 address

  IP address static Source

  YYYYY IP address

  In ESX, under Configuration / PowerManagement / properties I use:

  BMC IP: YYYYY

• With the help of Manager Update to upgrade ESX 5.1 to 5.5 - conflicting ERROR VIBS

  
  Hello

  I hope someone can help. I have a number of 5.1 ESX host that I would spend 5.5 using the Update Manager which seems straight forward enough... right

  vCentre is 5.5

  Import the ESXi ISO to update manager

  Create a baseline

  Attach the base to the host to be upgraded

  Analyze and correct the

  .... Simple

  The problem I have is that use us the HP Custom image because they are all servers in HP, sense, right. I downloaded the HP 5.5 Custom ISO Image from the VMWare site and imported from the ISO to the Update Manager, created a base line, attached to a host of test (DL585 G5) and scan. IM presented then an incompatible warning and details show below

  

  I searched the net for a solution and found several contradictory entries on dealing with VIBs and creating custom ISOs, I also downloaded the ZIP of the Depot HP ESX file and created a custom ISO that does not work either.

  Here are the current Broadcom VIBs installed on my ESX host, test

  

  I can not also remove the contradictory VIBs because they are network card drivers and if I delete and restart the host does not have network cards (well Yes, I tried).

  Its been 2 days of pulling my hair and maybe I'm missing something simple.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Thank you

  DCurrie,

  I'm in the same boat as you. I all hosts in HP DL380s I have migrated my hosts to test on my server to vCenter 5.5 U1 and went to perform the upgrade on the hosts of 5.1. I had everything first to apply the latest patches on the 5.1, which then allowed me to level 5.5.0 of the host. I then had another set of patches that I applied (assuming that I had to do before moving to 5.5.1). After the implementation of those, I still 5.5.1 an incompatible upgrade.

  The upgrade contains the following set of contradictory VIBs:

  Broadcom_bootbank_net - bnx2_2.2.5dv55.2 - 1OEM.550.0.0.1331820

  Remove the conflicting VIBs, or use the Image Generator...

  Then, I could at least make at 5.5.0, but not more than details. Both used 5.5.0 and 5.5.1 ISOs are ISOs of OEM HP.

  I have currently installed bnx2_2.2.4f.v55.3.

  HP has like downloadable bnx2_2.2.3t.v55.7 under the heading vSphere 5.5.

  VMware under the HCL has several versions, including my current version and the bnx2_2.2.5d.v55.2.

  Since this is test, I'll play with it some more and see what I can understand.

  Update: from U1b 5.5 Release Notes

  Update Manager reports the status of compliance as Incompatible when scanning or clean up ESXi 5.x hosts in a HA cluster

  When you perform an upgrade ESXi 5.x hosts belonging to a HA cluster analysis, Update Manager can report on the status of compliance of the incompatible host and might not allow the hosts to be remediated. Inconsistent compliance status is because of the way the agent of FDM (HA) is installed on ESXi 5.x hosts. From vSphere 5.0, the FDM agent is installed on the hosts ESXi as a VIB. When a VIB is installed or updated on an ESXi host, a flag is set to indicate that the bootbank on the host has been updated. Update Manager checks this flag while performing an analysis to level or sanitation and requires this flag to be cleared before the upgrade of a host. The flag can be cleared by restarting the host.

  Solution: restart guests reporting the State of compliance as Incompatible. Run the analysis of upgrading or rehabilitation after the host comes back online.

  Will try this and let you know how it goes.

• ESX 3.5 license NOW QUESTION Please HELP!

  After the bottom of 4 ESX 3.5 are connected to the ESX VC server on the host. After reboot ESX * do not start going that no licens is on this host running VC server. So I can not start server VC. I think that all licenses filen is based on

  the VC server.

  Help, please!

  Unfortunately, ESX 3.5 uses a license server that is installed on the server vCenter Server. In order to avoid the question, you are probably experiencing there is a period of 14 days, which however does not always work as expected. What you need to do in this case, is to generate a "hosted" the portal of My VMware license (I hope, it's still possible) to the ESX host on which vCenter Server is currently registered. After assigning the license to the host you should be able to turn to vCenter again.

• Help networking running ESX (i) in the VM Workstation

  Hi everyone-

  Hope someone can help.

  I have ESX (i) running in the VM Workstation on my laptop. My problem is that I can't move from my laptop to the domestic VMs. The route correctly on VMs inside and I can communicate back and forth with ESX just cannot access the internal VMs from my laptop. I can ping the default gateway of my laptop workstation VM virtual network editor implements.

  -On promiscuous mode

  -Tried several options with nic, vSwitch and VM workstation network Editor.

  Any ideas on how to Setup network for this config? Goal is to be able to RDP to internal VMs.

  Thank you

  Jason

  This should be pretty easy - please show a screenshot of your network virtual Editor settings.

  Here is all I have to do on the ESXi vmnet0 for example ethernet card

  the host can have the IP 10.0.0.1, the ESXi then takes 10.0.0.2 and the nested VM gets 10.0.0.3
  I don't have to manually set routes at all

  It should also work with vmnet0 and DHCP for three - assuming you have a DHCP server that is connected to the bridged the host network adapter

  during troubleshooting, turn off the firewall host and the nested VM
