• ESX host is listed in DVSwitch, but not in DVportgroups

  Hello

  I have the following in a CLuster (5.5 Vcenter, ESXi hosts 5.1) problem:

  I added a new ESX to the cluster (number 9 of ESX), then added 4 network cards to the DVSwitch (uses the LACP Protocol).

  In this DVSwitch I 2 DVportGroups / tag VLAN

  The problem is the host is listed in the tab "Hosts" in VCenter to level DVSwicth, but do not appear in the DVportgroups tabs (all hosts are listed here but not the last one..)

  vmk0 migrated successfully to the VLAN 1 St... but now, it appears limited to ""... I can migrate to the DVportGroup right... and VCenter says 'ok'... but nothing changes...

  I tried to migrate a virtual machine on the ESX (2nd VLAN) = > VM pings OK...

  So "technically" it works very well... but the ESX does NOT appear as members of DVportGroup.

  The problem appeared when I tried to deploy a vApp (antivirus) on the ESX... I'm stuck at the "select VLANS for the NETWORK card"... There is no VIRTUAL LAN in the list... (because the ESX host is no not part of any dvportgroup..)

  I tried "adding the ESX to the DVportGroup" after having asked for credentials, VCenter says 'ESX is already part of the pole '...

  Someone had this strange behavior?

  What can I do?

  Help!

  Best regards

  S

  I had a similar case, where the hosts have been posted under DVS, but not under DVS exchanges.

  A restart of vCenter Service fixed the problem. However, I was not deploy any TIME or such.

• ESX host is not responding

  Hello

  now, I have a problem.

  a customer has 3 blade IBM HS23.

  because in the course of the last 7 months I had 4 times the host esx became offline / insensitive

  all the vm continue to operate therefore continues to operate production

  ESX host do not react on SSH connection or telnet

  I can connect after pressing F2 and F12, but then the host everything crashes

  I can't connect to the vi to the ESX host client either.

  all hosts are installed on the IBM's USB drive

  the only thing to solve it is to off the blades and start again

  also random sound. I had 3 months running good, good running 1 day and 3 weeks running good

  the vpxd.log file displays only the waiting times to communicate with the esx host and then the error offline

  already updated all my firmware (chasis, blades, storage, fiber brocade and IBM switches)

  I started with vsphere 5.5 u1 U1 and ESXI 5.5 IBM. already updates on vsphere 5.5 U2 and 5.5 ESXi vmware u2 (since ibm doesn't have an ESXi custom 5.5 u2)

  im stuck... lil last event is on 16/01/2015 (and ibm will not support since there only subscription for 3 years and no software support contract)

  one last point, I'm under bacup veeam and 7.x replication but don't see a problem there.

  Thanks in advance.

  I found the problem

  I've restarted only iSCSI data store and all ESXi hosts becomes sensitive

  so, after searching for the qnap forum I noticed that they have released an update on 29/01/2015

  test of the firmware now and see what happens

  If this fails, I guess the qnap ts - 469L is not taken in charge more for vsphere 5.5

  Thank you all for the suggestions

• ESX host must restart?

  I'm confused as to why would need a host ESX reboot in order to change the number of ports on an existing virtual switch.  I read it wrong.  A virtual switch can have maps of physical network (natachasery) added and deleted without a reboot - I did yesterday.  A virtual switch can have VLAN extra added without a reboot.  Did - it mean if the ESX host has an additional physical nic added to the HOST, then a reboot may be required?

  I must be confused about the word 'port', but under properties vSwitch in vCenter, the Ports tab has 'Add' gives you a chance to create a group of ports (VM, VMkernel, Console of Service).

  VCPs and VCPs in gestation, can clarify you?

  see you soon,

  KC

  The vSphere Client will show a standard vSwitch with a default value of 120 (4.1) or 56 (4.0) ports, and you will need to restart the host so that any change to this effect to take parameter. This is true of standard vSwitches, distributed vSwitches can be changed on the fly. There are many other differences between standard vSwitches and distributed vSwitches, for the rest of this answer, I will only talk about standard vSwitches.

  Just like a physical switch, a virtual switch is composed of a number of ports, ports on a virtual switch can be used by the virtual machines, the VMkernel and the Service Console (ESX only). Virtual ports are always grouped into a group of ports - port group can contain a single port or multiple ports. A group of ports for virtual machines is not a set number of ports, ports are dynamically assigned to the Group of ports that you turn on virtual machines that have their network card configured to use the port group. You can connect the network adapters on multiple virtual machines on the same port group, a group of ports used by virtual machines can contain multiple ports. Ports used by the VMkernel and Service Console are only ever make up a single port because there is never a single virtual connection for them. Port groups have various attributed assigned to them on their safety, Traffic Shaping and NIC Teaming tabs, as well as their VLAN name.

  Why the host does not require a reboot? It has everything just...

  Scott.

• help help... ESX host shows that only ANSWERS DO NOT

  Hello

  I have the ESX host, who said State says "NOT RESPONDING" status virtual Center, but the host's who responded and I am able to connect to the console using PuTTY... Can someone help me what could be the problem to show the status as no ANSWERS DO NOT... I do not see that error correct logs in the logs events and... The virtual machine that is hosted on the ESX host also works very well and im able to RDP to it with all the problems but in VM, it shows as disconnected...

  ASK YOU TO HELP ME QUICKLY BECAUSE IT IS IN THE PRODUCTION...

  Hey Shashi,

  If the ESX host is unresponsive defeated VC if you can connect to the host ESX via VI Client, if yes, then the service pass works very well and you need to troubleshoot the service virtual Center on the esx host agent. You many consider them raise all initially with order # service vmware-vpxa restart

  If you are unable to connect to the ESX host using VI Client, restart the service spend using service # mgmt - vmware restart and check the logs # tail f /var/log/vmware/hostd.log check for errors/progress.

  Also look at kb.vmware.com for that matter and you'll find some articles that may help you solve problems.

  All the best

• You can restart nfs storage WITHOUT having to reboot ESX host?

  Hi community

  I wanted to know what your experience has been reset to the nfs storage devices WITHOUT having to restart the ESX servers. I can stop the virtual machines that use the storage, but would like to avoid off ESX hosts as they require a visit to the data center for put in operation and I can do all the rest of the House.

  My options are either then restart the ESX host (that I can do it remotely of course) or the ESX Server restores in the nfs storage when it is up?

  This is the first time such a restart will be required so I use

  this as a learning experience and the VMs on those ESX hosts are not

  criticism.  (although don't tell users which.) )

  Thanks in advance

  Yes, of course you can.

  ESXes automatically reverts to the storage.

• Restart VM after you restart the ESX host

  Hi all

  I am using VSphere Enterprise.

  Here my little question, makes VMs always restart after back us running or stopping of the esx host?

  In esx 3.5, when I reboot an esx host, all the virtual machines in this host are still alive (without restarting).

  Pls advice

  Thank you

  The only way, a virtual machine can rest running when it is running on ESX server is restarted is that if FT is activated - in this case, the connections will be seamless switch to the virtual machine "shadow". This is a feature of vSphere, so I don't see how you did not the VMs restart on your ESX 3.5 - even with VMware HA environment, there will be a short break because the VMs will be will be running on the other nodes in the cluster.

• How to restart vm esx host in different work HA?

  I understand that VMOTION = migration hot virtual machines on esx hosts. So, if HA uses VMOTION, how HA restarts VMs on another esx host when the original, we're out of service?

  I guess it will take to create an another vm on the available host using the same on the san .vmx file?

  IF we were to do it manually, it will be just import a virtual machine to another host on the right?

  Correct me if im wrong?

  A bit confused on the works of the HA behind the scene

  See you soon!

  VMotion and HA are not related or dependent on each other.

  (1) again, this works because the virtual machines themselves live on storage shared and not bound to a specific host ESX (i). ESX implements non-persistent locks on a specific virtual machine, when the host goes down, these locks will eventually timeout. HA will launch the failover, allowing it to reregister the VMs failed and restart. Manually, you can walk through this process by the presence of a virtual machine that lives on the shared storage that runs on HostA, then it turned off and cancel the registration of the virtual machine. You would be so I re-register on HostB and turn on, and voila, you've just simulated a ghettoHA.

  Here are a few extra links/documentation which may be useful for you better understand it:

  HA said:

  http://www.VMware.com/products/VI/VC/HA.html

  http://www.VMware.com/PDF/ha_datasheet.PDF

  vMotion explained:

  http://www.VMware.com/products/VI/VC/VMotion.html

  http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vmotion_datasheet.PDF

  (2) vMotion as you know already, performs a live migration of a virtual computer between two hosts, where as HA you will get some downtime of the virtual machine while it is rescued. The key is HA doesn't provide true high availability, it's just faster to recover. If you are looking for a true HA, take a look at VMware FT www.vmware.com/files/pdf/resources/ft_virtualization_wp.pdf

• HA does not not as expected on the ESX host

  Hello

  I have a cluster with ESX 3 (v3.5 Update4) node that is configured to use HA & Drs During a practice session to the ESX host that I found that if I simulate a hard failure of one of the nodes in the cluster, ESX all guests arriving to run on this host VM will automatically starts not themselves on another ESX host after x amount of time. What I've done so far to solve problems is the following:

  1. allowed Virtual Machine put in power under the Configuration tab on each ESX host. Then, I moved that no matter what VM Autostart submenu in there appearing. This step is repeated on each ESX host

  One thing to note after that: when the host has been stopped, the virtual machine would properly failover to another ESX host but not itself power on. I got feed manually on the client.

  2. I disabled the resource constraints under the Cluster Edition settings Menu to enable the machine to power on no matter what

  There is nothing to change the question

  3. I fiddled with the priority of restarting the virtual machine in question to see if it would help, but it made no difference

  4. I enabled Virtual Machine control and settings left to 'High '.

  It has nothing

  There are two messages that I keep seeing in the case where the window of the Cluster:

  Failure of failover for the guest in question Warning Message

  Not enough resources for the warning of the cluster failover

  There are many resources available, so I do not know whence this second message. DNS seems in good condition I can solve the hosts & guests all with success in a direct and reverse search.

  My goal here is to have the guest virtual computer turn itself on one of the other guests of the ESX cluster.

  Any help would be appreciated... Thank you

  Look in "response to isolation" on setting HA. Did you put it "Leaves the virtual machine" setting turned on or turned off?

  If market, your host another try not to put the virtual machines from the virtual machines might still running on the original host, which can cause some collide ie.swap in use, the locked configuration files & etc.

• storage is not avalibel lanyard for esx host

  Hello

  After the restart of all my esx host, they lost a storage. I can see the storage on the vmhba. How do I reconnect my host esx with output storage in shape with the help of add storage?

  using the GUI?

  Click on the host computer, click the tab confgiuration, then advanced settings, then LVM.

  You set the value to 1, go back, and I think it will show your defined again data stores where the VMDK files.

  Your not really supposed to run with him on this subject can do instant appear strange and other things, in order to you once you have them should rename back to their own names, not names assigned the will gave them.

  PS: When you add the VM (s) return, make sure you do it to the custom help, then it lets you choose existing datastors.

• ESX does not error - Host Server Agent does not start

  Hello

  I got an error on one of my ESX host in VC. The message "did not".

  7 VM are currently connected to this host and they seem to all run normally.

  I was able to connect to the host command line, but was a bit of difficulty in processing orders, they seem to cling. (ex: vmware-cmd - l does not give me an answer...)

  So I tried to restart the service mgmt-vmware:

  VMware ESX Server Host Agent Watchdog

  VMware ESX Server host agent

  This is where to stop.

  I also tried just stop the service (mgmt-vmware stop) and he still gets that far.

  Are their other commands that I might be able to run to retrieve this host in the VC?

  I will not re-start rather host it running production servers.

  Thank you

  I had this problem today with one of our ESX host. If you are running:

  ps - ef | grep vmware - pass

  You should see something like:

  root 3545 3504 1 11:40?        00:00:12 / usr/lib/vmware/hostd/vmware-hostd /etc/vmware/hostd/config.xml u

  You can kill the process of:

  Kill - 9 < PID > (e.g. kill 3545-9)

  Then you should be able to restart the service mgmt-vmware . In fact, if you are already trying to restart the service, he will suddenly hit by action. I do not know what causes this, but it will not affect your running virtual machines.

  I hope this helps.

• The requested operation is not implemented by the server when you try to access the VI Client with ESX hosts

  Hello

  We have problems with the VirtualCenter (which someone else works).  I need to access some of the virtual machines and tried to connect through the VI client to all ESX hosts.  I get this error after I give him password, username, and hostname:

  The requested operation is not implemented by the server.

  I'm sure I got this race last year.

  A reflection as to why it does not work?

  Thank you!

  Hello.

  How you launch the client?  Is it a shortcut with possibly a few settings in there?  If so, try running it without parameters.

  Good luck!

• Showing ESX host IP address not FQDN

  Hi all

  I just installed 2 x VSphere ESX host. When I connect to each of the hosts I see the IP address in the display of the inventory and not the host name.

  On the right hand of sise (above), I see the FULL domain name.

  Am I missing something?

  Any help would be appreciated

  Thank you

  Hello

  Is don't know if there is a way to update via settings, but the way I did in the past:

  Verify that the host is in DNS properly. Then just unplug and remove the host of VC. Finally, add using the FULL domain instead of the IP address name.

  Should work fine as long as DNS is correctly configured.

• After that I changed the Duplex parameter on NIC's Service console, I am not able to connect the ESX host

  Hi all

  Please help solve my problem.

  After that I changed the Duplex parameter on NIC's Service console, I am unable to connect the ESX host. How can I reset the 100 MB NETWORK card duplex. Can someone help me please.

  Concerning

  Vijay

  Hello

  As the bulb you have two problems that are not related.

  (1) duplex setting, your switch and NIC must match. If one is assigned to auto-negotiation, then the other must be set to auto-negotiation. Personally, I tend to let auto-negotiation unless there is an absolute reason to spend. If you then turn on the both sides of the interface, the switch port and esxcfg-NICS allows you to change the duplex, etc.

  (2) passwords for root are not related to the network unless you have also run esxcfg-auth authentication remote.  The only time I saw what you have here is when the system is configured to try to authenticate remote and not locally.

  The two problems are fixable by booting into single-user mode, set the duplex and reset the password.
