  Help the creation of a test of the abveo metric ESX alarm

  Hi - I ended up having to do such things in the past as well. I just built a virtual machine added lots of processors and memory, then for the CPU, I used the script CPUBusy.vbs from VMware (Google search which) and down it load times so that he began to max real physical processors... For memory, I just opened a massive text file in Wordpad and scroll up and down it. This gave me the circumstances to test the alarms, just don't do as a busy time or use some dev ESX servers...

• ESX Server restarts suddenly

• Cannot ping my esx Server

  Hi all

  I hope you can help, this problem has been driving me crazy for some Richard now!

  Firstly a bit of history... We have a Compaq ML760 running esx 3.0.1 attached to 2 SCSI disk bays. On weekends, this system was powered down by our partners to outsource in replacement of the ups in the rack. When turning the power on it we lost communication with the inverter boards... a new case, few new readers and reconstruction of the RAID the latter we have an ESX that starts in the log on screen with no obvious errors.

  So, the problem is that since we cannot ping or connect to any other way of our ESX Server. Now, before that I have to go any further in my opinion, it is worth noting that I'm not an expert of linux/esx I know enough to login as root and run a few commands.

  I have read several discussions around this issue and none seem to apply to my situation. Not only did I not ping my ESX, when I log into the ESX I can't ping any device, even the entry door. I had a quick glance at the configuration (should not have changed during the upgrade of the UPS!) and everything looks ok to me, feel free to correct me, the info is here:! esxcfg-NICS. JPG!

  

  

  any ideas would be appreciated!

  Thanks in advance,

  Adam

  Adam - I had a very similar problem in my test once environment. Everything was going well, all settings have been properly etc... but no connectivity ntwk. I had to remove my network config and rebuild. You can try just a little at a time to see if it works. Try to create a new vSwitch, move your top Service Console and assign a network adapter with the appropriate vlan information. See if it works then. That should give you an idea if there is a kind of corruption with the current configuration of ntwk.

  This site will give you all the commands necessary to accomplish these tasks:

• Customer of ESX server/vi /VC / which can be downloaded and tried for at least a month

  Hello

  Could someone point me to the version of esx server/vi client /VC versions of the server, which can be the trial downloaded and tried. (downlaods section Vmsphere of the trial for 2 months)

  My goal is to run the server as a VM esx in vmware workstation in documents Xtravirt. (I had earlier run esx 3.0 on workstation 6.0.2 with VC 2.0 and 2.5 client Vi)

  If I could get the same versions also problem would be resolved. But it would have been great if I could run each of them on trial versions that I could connect to VC and log in as a user and add another administrator virtual machines.

  Thank you

  I can try the new vSphere suite: ESX4 + VC 4 +...

• Registration of ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0

  Hello

  I just installed VMware ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0 and then the VMware

  Infrastructure Client on another computer to control it. When I logged on the use

  the Infrastructure Client it says I have 54 days remain.

  I don't know if it's the Infrastructure of the customer or the ESX

  Server. I thought that the two products available for free?

  If it is the server ESX how can I register the dam thing? I don't know that it's really

  simple but I can't find the option.

  Someone at - it a simple tutorial for the implementation and management of ESX Server?

  ESXi will be in eval until you have saved your free license, I believe you can get this information at: http://vmware.com/support/licensing.html

  Once you have received your key, ID license using your VI Client and go to configuration-> licensed features and add the license key.

• VMDK file unreadable after migration of VM & update of the ESX Server

  Last night we have updated the ESX servers here and in the migration process machines from one node to the other (by placing a single node of the cluster in maintenance mode). During this migration, the VMs one has stopped running. When we finished the migration and had updated the ESX Server, we brought the system to the top and tried to start this virtual machine.

  First, we looked in the directory of the virtual machine and saw that the VMDK file has a different name, with - dish at the end (before hard). We have renamed the file, removing the - flat extension, and this is where we saw these messages. ESX Server always gbehaved as if the file did not exist or was unreadable. Here is an extract from the log:

  The VMDK file is indeed the most, but VMware seems unable to open it. For what it's worth, it was also noted a .hlog file in the directory of the virtual machine on the server:

  Anyone can shed some light on this? Done-flat suffix in the VMDK file have a special meaning? Any recommendations for the rescue of this virtual machine?

  Thank you very much in advance.

• Command updating ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0 build #207095

  I have a server ESX 3i, 3.5.0 build from 207095 and I'm trying to update with the latest patch (ESXe350-201302401-O - SG.zip) which I copied to a folder on the local drive:

  "/ vmfs/volumes/OS-Datastore/Patches / '.

  I run the commands:

  «esxupdate install /vmfs/volumes/OS-Datastore/Patches/ESXe350-201302401-O-SG.zip b»

  ... as well as

  "esxupdate install /vmfs/volumes/OS-Datastore/Patches/ESXe350-201302401-O-SG.zip d.

  ... and it is for me to give a new prompt. That means that means and why I can't update my installation?

  I also extracted the original zip file and created these sub zip files:

  "ESXe350-201302401-I - SG.zip".

  "ESXe350-201302401-T - BG.zip" and

  "ESXe350-201302401-C - SG.zip.

  ... I tried the command on them as anything does not.

  How can I get this patch inistalled?

  What is the right syntax?

  Thanks P.A.!

  VMware KB: Image of ESXi Server 3.5 June 2011 Rollup CD

  I missed an update and for this reason I have to do a clean install as shown in the link above.

  My version can't do any update or update more!

  What you need to know about the key Secure Update *.

  (

  ESXi Server 3.5 June 2011 Rollup CD image (2000593)

  This Installable CD contains ESX Secure Key Update ESXe350-201012401-I-BG.

  For more information about this fix, see Critical Impact: VMware ESXi 3.5, Patch ESXe350-201012401-I-BG: apply this hotfix to continue to apply patches on the ESXi 3.5 hosts after June 2011 (1030002).

  NOTE: If you have not applied this patch by June 1, 2011, you will not be able to then apply patches. To get your updated hosts up-to-date with ESX Server 3i 3.5 version is to apply this Installable CD as new installation. You can also switch to ESXi 4.0 Update 1 Installable.

• How do you know what was the latest patch installed on VMware ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0 207095

  Hello guys,.

  I've been running an old server that was installed in a test system on workstation DELL - Optiplex GX620 (32 bit).

  During installation, I had to confirgure the file: /usr/lib/vmware/installer/Core/TargetFilter.py to change the following line:

  "interface returned. GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_IDE' as follows:

  "interface returned. GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_ISCSI' this is it worked and I used it for 3 years now. However, right now, I was hoping to be updated with the latest patches and updates and I do not know if I just ESX or ESXi, or what was my last update, and what it takes then.

  I used this command to get the following result:

  # vmware - v

  VMware ESX Server 3i 3.5.0 build-207095

  ... I think that the 3i says I have an ESXi 3.5.0 but build 207095 the buid even as ESXi 3.5.0 patch 5?

  If this is not the case, how should I do to update? What is the KB # I should download?

  I can manage using vSphere Client 5.5 and I can't SSH using PuTTY.

  Note: When I run... "# esxupdate - bundle = ESXe350-201302401-I - SG.zip updated ' of in the folder where his property in the data store, nothing happens... just a new line scrolls.

  Also...

  ... is there any update for this system? I therefore believe that the patch software etc was not around when I was installing this server in 2010.

  Based on KB http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1014508 you run ESX 3.5 Update 5.

• How to install VIM / or nano on ESX Server.

  Hi I need to configure my server ESX for SNMP / traps and syslogs however when I tried to use nano / Vim

  Nano: not found

  Vim: not found

  When I tried to open the file snmp.xml.

  

  I can understand that it could not be installed but there at - it another editor that I can use?

  Or do I have to put my ESX Server in maintenance mode, and then install the editor?

  Kind regards

  You can use vi, especially if you know vim, vi will not be much difference.

• ESX Server 3.5 upgrade auf 4.1

  Hallo community values,

  ICH stehe vor einem is small problem und ich möchte euch einen overview binding kurz:

  • -2 x VMware ESX Server 3.5.0 build 130756 (Clustermode, Dell Poweredge M600, Xeon X 5460, 32 GB of RAM)
  • -12 VMs (Win2k3 + Win2k8)
  • -VMware Virtual Center Server 2.5.0.64228
  • -VMware Infrastructure Client 2.5.0.64228
  • -VMware Update Manager 1.0.0.63985

  Wie ihr an den Versionen seht, wurde das Szenario recht und ich darf nun hand dress is stiefmütterlich. Are das Ziel und meine Aufgabe ist, die sich infrastructure auf die aktuellste mógliche (ESX 4.1 ware dies laut ESX Compatibility Guide U3) zu heben. Planned do ware:

  • -Host ESX al auf ESX Server 3.5 Update 5
  • -Removal of guest VMs auf vCenter Server 4.1.0.17435 und der
  • -Update auf der hosts 4.1 U3
  • -Squad der VMware tools VMs auf den
  • -If necessary. Ein update the vCenters 5.5, muss ich mich noch inform ob possible ist dies auf mit den 4.1er hosts.

  Leider komme ich nicht sehr weit.

  Die Baseline as Update 5 is connected und ist mit dem Update Manager. Der ist im Wartungsmodus ESX host. Wenn ich "updates Auf prufen" go out ich das event "Fehler beim Prüfen von ESXHost auf updated" von dem Benutzer com.vmware.vcIntegrity.

  Die questions:

  WO ich hand dress should? Wo finde ich ein detailliertes journal zu den C.a.i.? There're zu der be possibly Tipps oder Anderungsvorschlage eurerseits do?

  Danke im Voraus.

  ICH sprach von Version 4.1 therefore, weil erwahnt oben the hattest "Das Ziel und meine Aufgabe ist es, die sich infrastructure auf die aktuellste mógliche (ESX Compatibility Guide ware ESX 4.1 U3 dies laut) zu heben". Durchgehend Wenn Version 5.1 (für die ESXi hosts, eingebaute Komponenten wie NW maps..., storage system) supported the ist, ist dies of course also possible. Die die aktuell probably VM mit HW Version 4 laufen should damit auch laufen (see http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2007240)

  Die Lizenzkeys as ESX and ESXi sind die gleichen und wenn eine aktive subscription As (oder zum als vSphere covered at least 5 released wurde hattest) you can the uber das my VMware die auf die Version upgraden equivalent licenses portal.

• VMWare ESX Server training

  Hello experts,
  I'm new to vitrualization.
  I installed vmware workastation v 7.0 and I also have VMWare ESX Server training Trainsignal dvd for training so here are my questions:

  Can I install VMware vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 on my VMWare Workstation 7.0 for training v?

  Is - this VMWare vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 product different from VMWare ESX Server 3.5?

  I'm you ask all these questions because I want to be sure I can complete a training with VMWare vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 suite drive of my Trainsignal VMWare ESX Server 3 and because I am not allowed to download the evaluation version on VMWare ESX Server 3 and because the VMWare customer service could not answer my simple question and quoted me to the community by them to get advice.

  Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

  Hi nasolsi,

  Can I install VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5 straight on my VMWare Workstation 7 training without affecting my HDD physical whole?

  Yes, it has nothing to do with your actual score and highlights form the part of space, he took from your partition to create the disk of the virtual machine. So basically it will eat the space in the physical partition but does nothing else like the formatting of the entire disk.
  

  
  

  and the performance on my PC?

  No, this will not affect your PC's performance as the workstation will run the pages of RAM and cycles on your physical PC hardware microprocessor.

  
  

  If permitted increase RAM by a value so that you do not encounter CMTF or any other problem. 2048MB is the minimum memory required to run ESXi.

• Data growing in vmware esx server disk 3

  Hi, I have been asked by a colleague If I can be useful to expand d: ------disc on an existing virtual windows server 2003.

  They use:

  VMware ESX Server 3i Version 3.5.0 Build 110271

  VMware Infrastructure Client Version 2.5.0 build 119826

  Is it possible to extend the disc in vSphere clienten, start by clicking on the edit \ disk and then expand the *. wmdk file of 25 GB to 40 GB? After this connection in the server and expand the disk using a few better disk expansion program.

  / T.

  Yes, it should work even with the virtual machine. After having developed the virtual disk in the graphical interface, connect to the virtual machine Windows 2003 (or open the console or via the administrative RDP session) and rescan storage in disk management. Assuming that the data disk has only one partition or is the last partition on the disk and does not have the file exchange/swapfile on it, you may even be able to extend disk space by using the diskpart command-line utility.

• Hot migration is possible with VMWare ESXi 5.1.0 without an ESX server management

  Hot migration is possible with VMWare ESXi 5.1.0 without an ESX server management?
  I wonder for a future issue, a scenario where a system administrator must build a Win2008 + DC on local storage, server
  then, once the physical box is integrated into the class network, the physical box is connected to the classified SAN storage.
  Is it possible to hot - migrate the server Win2008 + CC local storage to SAN storage at this time, with only the
  free version of VMWare ESXi 5.1.0?

  Welcome to the community - I guess that you are looking to do this, while the virtual machine is currently running - this is not possible without a management server, also called vCenetr, but all is not lost because you would be able spend the VM local storage to the San with the VM posered using the client storage management features
