  What ESXI host NIC will use when the membership of the AD?

  I have a domain on ESXI host controller and I want ESXI to join the AD? I need to create a vmkernel for the goal?

  Hi Welcome to the communities,

  It will use the management network, which uses vmk0 as a default, no need to create a new vmkernel.

  Then look up what vmnic is connected to vmk0 in your installation.

• How can I use Tracert to and ESXi 4.1 host?

  How can I use Tracert to and ESXi 4.1 host?  I tried Tracepath and get "command not found", like tracert. I sswear I did this before 3.0 days.  I looked in/usr/sbin not tracepath or tracert.  I don't know I'm missing something very obvious.  I do not have access to this host console, but I ran the "check network connections" of the console and he spent when I place this host.

  ESXi is not a Linux console as ESX 3.x did. He uses a tiny console shipped based on busybox and missing most of the commands that would be available in a full Linux installation.

• ESXi 5.5U2 host disconnects a few seconds added to vCenter

  Hi all, as a subject, really. I have been troubleshooting a problem where, when adding a remote host to vCenter, who host their product to unplug a few seconds.

  At first I thought it was my firewall rules, but I've sorted which and I don't no ACL denies more on them.

  I can connect to the host very well using the vSphere Windows-based client, so I do not understand it.

  Should what kind of information I add to this post to help the guy to help me?

  P.S., relatively new to VMware.

  Thank you, Mark

  Thanks for the advice... He led me to the correction, which was that VMware KB: NAT between the vCenter Server system and ESXi/ESX host using

  My vCenter was behind a NAT firewall that was causing the problem.

  Hope this helps others.

• New host ESXi 5.1 in DMZ - cannot connect through vCenter Client or web, but can via SSH, if I have activated

  We have a simple DMZ where I set up a host running ESXi 5.1. I have another windows server in the DMZ subnet and I can load the new ESXi her host's web site. From my PC in our LAN I can not pull the top web interface 5.1 ESXi or connect via vSphere Client. If I enable SSH on the new host, can I use Putty to connect to the new host ESXi from my PC in LAN. I watched the event logs in our firewall and nothing seems to be blocked. I guess that the problem is related to a value or a firewall setting in ESXi 5.1 but I don't know. Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  -Kevin

  Just a thought. Why don't run you the ESXi host in your internal network management and only virtual machines in the DMZ? Would make the ESXi host management even more secure, and you wouldn't have to open Firewall ports.

• ESXi 4.1 host started crashing every day - including screen image

  Hello world

  I'm really at a loss here.  I have an ESXi 4.1 host (free version), who has 4 virtual machines on it. I haven't changed anything on this host recently but Friday it crashed and I had to do a hard reset.  It's the same thing again today.  I have no idea where to start to look at that.  The host hardware is two years. lt is running 6-drive SAS RAID, 24 GB memory and 2 Xeon quad-core processors.  What can I do to try to solve this problem?

  

  Since the Group:
  "The functionality Execute Disable No. run CPU not enabled for this machine.

  Please check the BIOS on your ESXi host hardware to see if this option is available (usuaully under CPU options, advanced settings or the warranty on some BIOS white box).  If that options is not available in your BIOS, please feel free to share the material model used (even if it is not on the HCL) as someone there may be able to help.

  Can someone show me dirrection to solve this problem.

  Hello

  Regardless of the type of disc you use once in VMware ESX allocates space on the disk it will never resume. It will happen as two snacks of thin disc as thick disk. Only difference is that the thin disk allocation is on request and for thick it is pre configured.

  Now, when we see inside the guest, he will see some quantity using comments he will never see beyond that, because of virtualization. But the esx host is aware of what his size allocated to this disc.

  Please see KB http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1022242 for more information on the types of disk in VMware.

• What host and Service using TNSNAMES

  
  Hello

  I created a cluster 2 nodes (LAB4 LAB5) in 11 GR 2 grid Infrastructure, which currently holds my ASM Instance cluster

  I'm trying to determine which setting host and Service name I should use on a client to allow connect to ASM as a local connection to the node and connection of cluster.

  I'm tresting 3 types of assemblies of TNS below

  + ASM1 - a simple connection to the ASM instance directly LAB4 as if she was not grouped

  + ASM1_VIP - I think that it is of the old method of 10g to connect to the cluster?

  + ASM1_SCAN - I think it's the new way to 11 GR 2 to connect to the cluster?

  * I don't use DNS / GNS - where the 3 inputs static analysis

  So I put my client TNSNAMES as follws-

  The reason for the 3 types of connection, I mentioned at the beginning of this forum

  #ASM instance on LAB4 via public IP

  + ASM1 =
  (DESCRIPTION =
  (ADDRESS =
  (PROTOCOL = TCP)
  (HOST = lab4)
  (PORT = 1521)
  )
  (CONNECT_DATA =
  (SERVICE_NAME = + ASM1)
  )
  )

  #ASM instance on LAB4 via VIP audience that is the old method of 10g to connect to a cluster

  + ASM1_VIP =
  (DESCRIPTION =
  (ADDRESS =
  (PROTOCOL = TCP)
  (HOST = lab4-vip)
  (PORT = 1521)
  )
  (CONNECT_DATA =
  (SERVICE_NAME = ASM)
  )
  )

  
  #ASM instance on Cluster via Public Cluster SCAN, i.e. the new 11g method to connect to a cluster

  + ASM_SCAN =
  (DESCRIPTION =
  (ADDRESS =
  (PROTOCOL = TCP)
  (HOST = cluster1-scan)
  (PORT = 1521)
  )
  (CONNECT_DATA =
  (SERVICE_NAME = ASM)
  )
  )

  The good thing is that a TNSPING to my client to all the 3 entries above, succeed

  Q1. Name of the Service don't know '+' i.e. that why for the + ASM1_VIP and _ASM_SCAN entry above, I could put neither ASM the SERVICE_NAME and not + ASM?

  Q2. I presume that for the method of 10g - the name of the Service be indeed ASM and not ASM1?

  Q3. If LAB4 should fail, my other node, LAB5, would inherit of the LAB4 VIP

  Thank you

  Hi Jim,.

  SCAN is for the client computer access to the clusterdatabase without having to know which server in the cluster is to serve the db. SCAN is for your normal databases NOT the asm instance, your customers do not need to access.

  To connect to your instance asm on each node with sqlplus and get an output of:

  See listener parameter setting

  It will show, that asm has local defined listener and will register with the listener node running on your virtual IP address. It will not appear an entry for the remote listener.

  For your no - ASM databases, you will find set remote_listener parameter and pointing to SCAN listeners usually via an entry in the tnsnames like this file:

  MYDB =

  (DESCRIPTION =

  (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = your-rac-scan-name)(PORT = XXXX))

  (CONNECT_DATA =

  (SERVER = DEDICATED)

  (SERVICE_NAME = mydb)

  )

  )

  lsnrctl status

  -> you will get the output of the listener node

  lsnrctl status LISTENER_SCAN1

  -> you would give the output of the listener to scan if SCAN1 runs on the node of your ssh shell is sitting.

• Migrate to ESXi 4.1 hosts to VCenter again

  Hey volks!

  Today, I finished with the installation of a new server VCenter 5. There is another VCenter 4 Installation that actually manages our ESXi 4.1 hosts. Now I would like to move the hosts to VCenter 4.1 environment to the new (5) a.

  Is there a way without having to move the hosts in Maintenance Mode?

  What I read on the web - can I just uninstall the agent, but no guide step by step has been found and I would prevent mistakes when doing. Also, I think that this is not a good way to do it, or?

  I'm sure someone did it in the past and can enlighten us on this.

  Thanks in advance,

  Matthias

  NAAA it should be simple. Cluster resources can be a problem, but I don't see it as a big deal,

  1. Disconnect host VC4
  2. Remove the host of VC4
  3. Add a host to VC5
  4. and repeat step 1-3 for all remaining army.

  vCenter and HA agent will be installed automatically when add you the host to the VC5

• Setting up a location of scrape persistent by using the vSphere Client

  Hello

  I have an application on behalf of data store when you configure the location scratch using vsphere client.

  This is the step that I have to perform to set up the scratch location and my query is

  I have to specify the name of the data store for step 10, as what I see through the vsphere client IE Datastore1 (vmfs/volumes/Datastore1/.locker - ESXHostname)

  OR

  What I need to specity the unique id that I am able to see in ESXi console that is to say 50060160c46036df50060160c46036df (/vmfs/volumes/50060160c46036df50060160c46036df/.locker- ESXHostname)

  What would be the effect? Configuration with the name of the data store for the vSphere client.

  You can configure the workspace for ESXi using the vSphere Client:

  1. Connect to vCenter Server or ESXi host using the vSphere Client.
     
  2. Select the ESXi host in the inventory.
     
  3. Click the Configuration tab.
     
  4. Click storage.
     
  5. Click a data store, and then select Browse.
     
  6. Create a directory named only for this ESX host (for example, .locker-ESXHostname )
     
  7. Close the browser to store data.
     
  8. Click Advanced under software settings.
     
  9. Select the ScratchConfig section.
     
  10. Change the configuration option to ScratchConfig.ConfiguredScratchLocation , indicating the full path to the directory.

      For example:

      / vmfs/volumes/DatastoreName /. Locker-ESXHostname

      
      
  11. Click OK.
      
  12. The ESXi host in maintenance mode and restart so that the configuration change to take effect.
      

  I ran a quick test on my test environment. You can safely enter data store, it will be automatically replaced by UUID data store when required restarting.

• Impossible to connect to vCenter Server 5.5 using the vSphere Client

  Hello

  
  

  I'm trying to configure VMware Lab home using the link below and I have reached a stage where I need to connect to vCenter Server using the vSphere client.

  
  http://boerlowie.WordPress.com/2011/12/13/building-the-ultimate-vSphere-lab-part-9-ESXi/

  
  

  I installed the package of 5.5 full vCenter server using the simple installation option and it includes vCenter server, single sign - on, Webclient vSphere, vCenter server and vCenter Server inventory service. All the the latter is installed on a virtual machine that is running Windows server 2008 R2 guest OS.

  
  

  Whenever I try to open a session on the vCenter Server uses the vSphere client, one of the following error is displayed.

  
  

  1. you do not have the permissions to connect to the server 'vCenter server IP address.

  2. cannot complete the connection incorrect username or password-, this error is visible when I do not specify domain\username domain user name and simply enter the user name.

  
  

  For the details of the error, please see the screenshots - vSphere_client_1, vSphere_client_2 and vSphere_client_3.

  
  

  As suggested in the link below, I tried to create an SPN and then set the SPN (Principal of Service name) and the UPN (User Principal name) in the Active Directory identity Source using the web of vSphere client (please see screenshot vSphere_Webclient_2)

  
  

  http://vinfrastructure.it/2014/01/issue-in-logging-into-vCenter-server-using-Windows-ad-credentials/

  
  

  To fix the permission error, I tried to add the domain user to the Administrators group on the server vCenter (see screenshot vSphere_Webclient_1).

  
  

  However, none of the above-mentioned resolution has worked.

  
  

  So can someone please help? I am stuck because of this problem and badly need help to move forward.

  
  

  Thank you

  AJMAL

  Open the XP VM itself, do not use the shortcut that was published in
  the W7 boot menu. You need to install Outlook / your email client
  Inside the virtual machine, as well as on the side of W7. You can point to the same
  PST files if you have local PST files, but you just can't open them in
  at the same time of W7 and XP VM.

  There is no way to bridge using the shortcut of publishing app
