• ESX Server and 64-bit

  Hello

  I just install ESX Server Infrastructure 3 on a 64-bit Dell Poweredge and everything seemed OK until I tried to install a 64-bit Windows Server 2 K 3 o/s.  VMWare is saying that I can't install an operating system 64-bit on 32-bit hardware.

  Is someone can you please tell me if there are any changes I have to do to run 64 bit? Or are there two types of ESX, 32 and 64 bit?

  If there is a version that I need to use to run 64-bit Windows can someone please tell me the version I need to install, or better yet, to provide me with a link to the download

  Thanks in advance

• NATing between an ESX server and the Virtual Center Server.

  We strive to set up a server to VirtualCenter 2.5 inside a firewall and put servers ESX 3.5 within each of our customer networks. The problem is that within each client network, the IP address must be coordinated. Support of ESX 3.5 originating server, and if so, how do I set up? If not, how VMware plans to support this?

  I think I am confused?

  It is on this link?

  Supported for VirtualCenter 2.0 only NAT

  This version supports for the connection from ESX Server 2.5 and VirtualCenter 3.0 hosts using NAT (NAT). To configure ESX Server to connect to a VirtualCenter server is configured behind a NAT, you must add the following in vpxd.cfg configuration setting:

  < vpxd >

  ...

  < managedip >ipAddress< / managedip >

  ...

  < / vpxd >

  When the IP address is the address of the host ESX Server uses to communicate with the VirtualCenter server.

  See KB 2195771 "Manually setting Cluster IP address for Clustered VirtualCenter Server" for more information on the manual configuration of the IP address in the file vpxd.cfg.

  Also note that the NAT must be configured to allow packets UDP Port 902 of this IP address.

• 802 1 q trunk between ESX server and router Cisco

  Hello team.

  I want to create 3 VLANs on my server ESXi, each with 2 VMS and these VLAN transported by an external Cisco "router on a stick", that is to say router with a configured ethernet wth 3 subinterfaces, each of them for each of VLAN (IP subnets) inside the ESXi server.

  I built the following image to explain my purpose. First it is possible to implement on ESXi? I guess it is.

  Advice will be greatly appreciated.

  Best regards, Rogelio ([email protected])

  

  It will work very well. Ive done a similar thing in the past, but rather than use sub interfaces I used Lass rather on a layer 3 switch.

• ESX Server and DataCenter

  Host server ESX can be member of two data centers in VCenter?

  No, a host ESX (i) can reside in a single data center.

• Move VMS between server ESXi and vSphere ESX server

  Dear all,

  I want to move some a vSphere ESX server virtual machines to ESXi server.

  I understand that some users will use CPS to move between the ESX servers, but apparently not for moving between different products.

  I'm just using a slow and prone to error method:

  The files of the virtual machine to my deskop PC of vSphere ESX server and then upload to the ESXi server.

  I would advise you to please all of the methods that is better than this one?

  Help, please.

  Kind regards

  Tommy

  If you got a central storage you can move virtual machines between the two products with vMotion. Since you don't seem to have available vMotion, you pouvez use scp. SCP has nothing to do with ESX/ESXi products. It is a Linux/Unix program which is available in both servers.

  So with the CPS, you need a little less.

  The syntax is like:

  SCP - r/path/to/vm/directory user@esxi:/path/to/new/location

• Upgrade virtual Center 2.02 VC 2.5 on the new server. Upgrade ESX 3.02 ESX Server 3.5. and add the new ESX Server.

  Hello

  We are due to upgrade our VMWare environment. ESX 3.02 x servers virtual Center 2.02 and 3.  We have new material on which to install Virtual Center and we are also adding a new ESX Server.

  I read various guides for virtual center upgrade and watched questions on the forum, but can not see everything that relates to the way I thought to do. I want to install Virtual Center 2.5 on the new server and I would refer her to the current virtual cenre database.  Is this supported?

  I then install ESX 3.5 on my new ESX Server and add it to the virtual Center. Then I would start the upgrade / rebuild other servers using VMotion to migrate all VM the next server to be rebuilt on the new server running ESX 3.5.

  Would this work.

  What is the best way to upgrade the virtual center of new material and a new Version?

  Thank you for all the advice that can be offered.

  Kind regards.

  Yes, it is an upgrade that is supported.  Don't forget there will be an upgrade for your DB schema and it may take some time.  Just make sure that you have a good backup of your DB before you start.

  I then install ESX 3.5 on my new ESX Server and add it to the virtual Center. Then I would start the upgrade / rebuild other servers using VMotion to migrate all VM the next server to be rebuilt on the new server running ESX 3.5.

  I agree entirely, I drive rebuild is the way to go.

  Would this work. > What is the best way to upgrade the virtual center of new material and a new Version?

  Upgrade to the current version using the .iso image file.  Don't forget the license server, which is a standalone update and are located in the folder /vpx of the vCenter .iso

  Upgrade path:

  1 vCenter

  2 ESX

  3 VMware Guest Tools

  Thank you for all the advice that can be offered.

• How to manually configure the IP, subnet, gateway on the new NIC in ESX Server 3.5

  Hello, first let me say that I am relatively new on ESX Server and so the question I ask here may seem trivial but I looked through the documentation and other threads and that you have not found quite what I'm looking for.

  I have an ESX Server 3.5 with a number of production virtual machines running works very well.  I need to install a second NETWORK adapter because my use of the network will go through the roof, once I convert a production server used in a virtual machine on this machine.  I have a server Dell PE 2950 and I bought an Intel Pro/1000 PT dual port PCI-e adapter that is on the list of hardware supported.  In the reading I did, every reason to believe that when I set up the server, the new network cards will appear in the VIC where I can assign to a new Vswitch and so forth, so I get it.  What I don't see in the VIC is a way to specify the NETWORK adapter settings.

  The problem is that the switch I connect to, put in place by our network management staff, will not be DHCP settings of NETWORK card for me, I have to manually configure the IP, subnet and gateway until I can start talking.  When I initially installed ESX, I was able to provide all parameters of NETWORK card installation - which is not the case now with the new NETWORK card and the operating system all this up and running.  How do I do this?  Thanks for any help.

  ... BillH

  Adding another physical NETWORK card to your vSwitch will make this new Teddy to comply with policies of vSwitch.  In particular, the load balancing algorithm will determine how the additional bears will get used.  By default, this is done with switch port ID.  This means that each vm NIC that feeds, will choose the next available bear to talk about.  The virtual NIC will essentially be Robin and choose the next Teddy online to talk it through and will so remain like that until a failure condition occurs, or the virtual machine is restarted.

  If you know a particular VM is a high user of I/O, and you want to separate its traffic from the rest of your virtual machine, and then create a new portgroup on vSwitch0, assign this new portgroup 3rd Teddy and use the other two as before.  In addition, in your regular exchanges, remove or make sleep 3rd Teddy.  In this way you completely isolate the heavy vm from the rest of your systems.

• The "Console" tab fails on servers on a host ESX Server 3.5.0

  Hello

  On one of our server VMware ESX 3.5.0 123630 hosts, I get an error message when I try to use the "Console" tab on the servers located on the ESX Server.

  The error message "unable to connect to the host esx006.sb.local: a connection attempt fails, because the connected party did not properly after a period or the connection failed because the connected host has failed."

  This ESX Server is configured as all the other ESX servers in our environment, so I don't understand why it does not work on the ESX Server.

  I have no problems connecting to the ESX Server and I have no problems connecting to servers through the mstsc.

  I have the following VMware Infrastructure customers installed on my computer:

  -VMware Infrastructure Client 2.5

  -VMware Virtual Infrastructure Client 2.0

  -VMware vSphere Client 4.1

  To connect to the above mensioned ESX Server, I use the client "VMware Infrastructure Client, Version 2.5.0 Build 147704".

  Can you help me solve this mystery?

  Kind regards

• Simulation of material on VMWare ESX Server (is it possible?)

  Hello I am a student and write my thesis of license.

  The theme of my thesis is the 'comparison of VMWare ESX Server and Citrix XenServer'.

  After I installed XenServer on the material, I was able to simulate the material and got the possibility of

  OEM-Versions of Microsoft operating systems install VM on XenServer. With this feature can save our customers

  money, because they can use the Versions OEM of MS products provided by our care.

  

  Now my question! Is it possible to simulate the material on VMWare ESX Server and install the OEM Versions

  or are there other ways how I can install the OEM Versions on VMWare ESX Server?

  I've seen this kind of problem before as well and it's the media. Try to download eval software as an ISO and see if it works.

  I know say you it worked with xenserver then why not with esx - I can't answer this question I can only tell you want that I found worked.

• Withdrawal of an ESX Server processor

  We have an idea in our Department to remove a few processors of our ESX servers (they are just sitting around 8% use with 7-10 VMS on each one).

  I was wondering if someone has a licensed power off ESX Server and done this before. The pointers, advice?

  I see it like this big, they are licensed per processor , so if we take away a single processor and boot it upward it will see has 1 processor and then we can use the license to bring up another 1 CPU ESX host. Processors are 3.33 MHz quad cores so I think it can handle pretty much anything we through him (keeping exchange and sql machines on proc dual ESX host with a lot of RAM however).

  So there you have it, someone at - it ideas? I wanted to just post there and see what the consensus was in the community. Thank you!

  Your problem around removing a processor might be the memory.

  New multi core processors must sit with cards memory who speaks directly with the cpu because of the multiplicity of carrots and speeds.

  Remove so a processor could cause your boot box without removing the memory associated with the cpu.

  But registration and esx, point of view, if the box of boots it should work. Definitely something I've never done.

• VirtualCenter is necessary to put in place the virtual machine on an ESX Server?

  Hello! I'm new to VMWare and and I'm trying to implement some virtualized servers. I have a machine I want to run a virtual machine with Windows Server 2008 and a virtual machine with Arch Linux. I have a copy of vSphere 4.0 and ESX Server operating system linux installed correctly on the server computer. I tried to use the Infrastructure Client from my desktop Windows 7 Professional to create the new virtual machine, but I get to the part 'Select the data store' in the wizard and shows me that I have not created from data stores. I have not found a way to create databases in client infrastructure, and most things on the internet speak do with VirtualCenter.

  I tried to install the VirtualCenter on Windows 7 server, and initially, I got the error when he could not find the ADAM directory. Then I installed the version of Windows 7 to ADAM, ADLDS, who created c:\Windows\Adam and seemed to be backward compatible enough to allow installation to get a little further, how it failed and said that he was unable to create an instance of directory services.

  I fought this thing and Googling all the problems that I ran now for more than 48 hours. I was hoping that since I don't have more than one physical server to manage, and I don't have a dedicated machine which can be VirtualCenter Server all the time anyway (my office is dualbooted with linux, where I spend most of my time), it would be possible to do without.

  Any help appreciated,

  Matt

  Hi and welcome to the forum,

  you don t need a vCenter if you have a single server. You can use the vSphere Client to manage the server.

  If I understand you, you have already installed the ESX Server and a local data store.

  Now you can download the vSphere Client by opening the Web page of your ESX Server. Type http://<> address >

  Install the Client and you are able to create Virtual Machines.

  You can also use the ESXi Version.

  But I recommend you read some VMware papers like this

• How end users access vm created on an ESX Server?

  I'm new to ESX and wonder how a user can access a virtual machine created on an ESX Server. Say I create an ESX Server and install 4 XP virtual machines on this subject through VSphere how an end user can get to anyone of them?

  they need to know everything about ESX.  A simple method would be to give them each a name of the PC and using RDP to connect to XP desktop in this way.

  Another way, such as mentioned would be to use VMware View and establishment of a broker for connections and users access their desktop computers through the Client view.

• ESX Server does not respond in VCenter

  Hello everyone, I am looking for some help with a problem I have right now.  I was able to find a similar thread, but it was not resolved, so here are my symptoms.

  I have a 3.5 running ESX Server.  In VCenter, the system shows callous and all of the associated virtual machines are disconnected.  However, ESX server and virtual machines are running correctly.  If I try to use the VI Client to connect directly to the ESX box, you receive an error "server has taken too much time to react."  Interface Web doesn't either.  However, the SSL connection via port 22 works fine and I am able to work with the system.  I had this problem before and a reboot of the server ESX solved the problem, but which forced me to all virtual machines down and then reboot ESX.  The ESX box shows no errors when I have ILO on the console.

  Can anyone give me any help is appreciated.

  Have you tried to restart the management agent with

  [for service mgmt-vmware restart

  on the console?

  Kind regards
