• Purple screen after installing ESXi 4, pf exception (14) in the world

  Hello

  I get a purple screen after starting the esxi host 4. I get the following exception: exception (14) in the xxxx world pf

  I tried the esxi version 4 with update 1 and without. both had the same problem...

  The server is a "new" hp proliant dl120g6...

  Does anyone have an idea to solve this problem?

  Hello

  Welcome to

  Everything seems to point to the sfcbd process (CIM providers). But it is a hypothesis. All this :).

  Running a version of esxi HP custom computers no HP support can produce weird effects. For this reason, it is highly public using this type of installation.

  I'm not really an alternative for what you want. To monitor (in a tight way) on esxi, you must use a supported HP computer. If this isn't the case, you must use a version of esxi vanilla without waterproof hardware monitoring.

  Please, remember to mark a useful or appropriate response.

• The upgrade to vCenter Server to vCenter Server 5.1 5.1 update 1 when the SQL database is remote and vCenter Server Heartbeat is installed

  Hi guys,.

  I'm in the middle of an upgrade to vSphere 5.1 5.1 vSphere update 1. I have vCenter protected by HB and SQL on a separate computer (also protected by HB) I also run Syslog, Update Manager and Proxy authentication on vCenter.

  I've successfully upgraded HB on all 4 nodes (2 x vCenter & 2 x SQL) and started the upgrade components on the secondary according to the •vCenter Server Heartbeat 6.5 server and vCenter Update 1 Installation on Windows Server 2008 when the secondary server is virtual (PDF) http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vcenter-server-heartbeat-65-u1-installation-windows-2008-virtual-guide.pdf

  I got to step 3.c

  3. change the primary/active server role:

  a launch of the vCenter Server Heartbeat wizard configure server and click the tab of the Machine to change the server role for the current server (primary) to the active State and click Finish.

  b using the Service Control Manager, start the Server Heartbeat of VMware vCenter service.

  c using the vCenter Server Heartbeat Console, check that all the status icons on the server: summary page are green indicating that the boot process is completed and protected from all the services are started.

  d using the Service Control Manager, stop the service Server Heartbeat of VMware vCenter.

  As the vCenter service does not start, I'm stuck at this point. As far as I'm concerned, the error is quite logical. I've updated vCenter using the secondary server, and then I'm trying to connect (according to the guide) with another version that breaks down.

  If I continue with the services stop and launch the installer SSO, it is trying to perform an uninstall!

  Did I miss something in this upgrade?

  Concerning

  Hi guys, VMware have finally updated the documentation to reflect the right way forward: https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/heartbeat_pubs.html U1 6.5 Select from the menu drop-down and you'll see the last date of update for each of the documentation is now 10/10/2013. The guide States now specifically to restore the vCenter database before proceeding with any other measure, this is copied below for convenience: "the upgrade of the main server of the upgrade process further guess upgrading the secondary server completed successfully. Procedure 1 before continuing the upgrade process, perform a restore of the database of vCenter Server, Single Sign-On database, VMware Update Manager database and SSL certificates that were backed up in step 4 on the secondary server. regards Ciaran

• Can of POS used with Vmware vCenter Server 5 Standard license

  Hello team,

  Accroding to http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2016565

  WTP is supplied with vSphere Essentials more and more.

  I searched but did not meet solid information where he explains when licensed some don't need us to buy additional licenses for new features / applications, etc.
  I'm new to Vmware licenses hierarchy. We have Vmware vCenter Server Standard 5 license.
  Please point me to a URL that contains the hierarchy of Vmware licenses .

  Thank you much in advance.
  Niraj

  You can use vCenter Server Standard 5 licenses for POS. Everything we have features such as (profile of HA, DRS, FT, VDP, host, DVS etc.) you don't need to worry about the virtual server license Center. You must use the correct license vsphere host. But don't forget to think about some virtual server edition Center can handle some vsphere hosts.

  vCenter server 5 Essentials can manage only vSphere Essentials Plus or vSphere Essentials.

  vCenter Server Standard 5 licensecan eat only vSphere vSphere Enterprise and vSphere companies plus standards.

  You can activate the functionality of POS with vSphere Essentials Plus then you will need to use vCenter server 5 Essentials.If you use vCenter server standard for vSphere Essentials Plus so it give error or warning for violation of editing.

  Thank you

• Configuration of VLAN for vMotion (ESXi 5.1 update 3)

  Hello

  We use a cluster of ESXi 5.1 updated 3 guests with Enterprise Edition.

  Finally, our network is being upgraded and VLAN will be created for vMotion.  Currently, we use the local network for the management and vMotion (I know that's not good).

  Network administrator asks me to provide information concerning the requirement of the VLAN for vMotion.

  Is there any Document KB I can refer to mentioning that the administrator must put in place in the physical switch and I need to change in each vSwitch for vMotion on all ESXi hosts?

  Thank you

  Belong to your network administrator if it can link your vmotion IP to the same vlan that he will provide den it's possible.

  Otherwise, you will have to go to the configuration of your network administrator. so it can provide you the IP for the ports of vmotion.

• Purple screen of death with ESXi 3.4 U4

  Hi all

  I lived I have a strange problem with esxi 3.5 U4. Yesterday morning I got the purple screen on one of my hosts esxi test, if anyone can give me any idea what this error means.

  on the host, it there was only one virtual machine running with ubuntu server on it. The thing I noticed is that my colleague, who install the ubuntu Server I forgot to install vmware tools. Can this be the cause of this error.

  After a reboot and the vmware tools install everything I work, but I don't know what was the problem in the first place, so I appreciate your responses.

  Kind regards

  Lyubo

  Hello

• VCenter server restart - can I just it reboot?

  My SAN works somehow, but I can't access my client vsphere vcenter server through.the.  I get the error: an unknown connection error has occurred, (the request has failed because of a logon failure.  Also, I can not connect via veeam.  Everything else seems to work fine.  VCenter is a virtual machine in my SAN environment.  Can - I just restart the vcenter Server?  Or should I stop all the rest down before doing this?

  Thanks in advance for the help.

  Welcome to the community,

  the virtual machines running on the host computers are not vcenter Server, and at least that actions such as migration, backups or other things are underway which require vCenter Server, you should have no problem restarting it.

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 guests in ESXi 5.5 Update 1

  The Guest OS Installation Guide indicates that RHEL 7 guests are supported with ESXi 5.5 Update 1 but RHEL 7 does not appear as a guest operating system during the construction of a new virtual machine. I built a virtual 7 of RHEL machine by selecting the operating system 64-bit RHEL 6 asked and have not had any problems. Anyone had a similar experience?

  I tried this in my lab and I see the same thing.

  Selection of RHEL 7 as guest operating system is available in the Web Client. See screenshot below

  

• USB or HDD space for new server ESXi 5.5 updated 3 current enforcement?

  Hello

  We get a new DELL server to run ESXi 5.5 update 3.

  Just find out there is an embedded version of ESXi 5.5 update 3 on a USB is connected.

  We would like to know what meaning it is best to run ESXi - USB or Local HARD disk?  I think that if she runs on the Local HARD disk, we can remote access via DRAC card.   In addition, we do not use any local HD (i.e. no VSAN) and so there is no loss if VMware runs on the HD.

  Your opinion is requested.

  
  Thank you

  Hello.

  With ESXi on USB/SD is supported by VMware, so no problem here. Remember that if you use these devices, you'd probably set the partition scratching at some storage 'persistent '. I personally use one of the data stores for all guests, I have it in one place.

  I don't understand why you assuming that through a port USB as a boot device will not provide access to DCUI via the DRAC? Boot device has no importance here...

  So, to answer your question: you

• Update Server VC and 5.5 ESXi hosts to update 3 b (Build 3248547)

  I'm in vCenter Server 5.5 and 5.5 ESXi hosts.  Both are updated 3A, patched to version 201510001, which is the build 3116895.  I plan the upgrade of update 3 b (Build 3248547) and I'm a little confused on the question of SSLv3.

  I wonder if this point below ESXi55 U3b & VC 55U3b Known Issues applies to my config:

  ESXi does not automatically added to the inventory of the vCenter servers
  If you install an earlier version of vCenter Server and vSphere Update Manager for ESXi 5.5 updated 3B, then after the task of sanitation, ESXi does not automatically added to the VC inventory. Remediation process never gets done and ESXi State of connection in the VC inventory is presented as disconnected. Solution: When you restart ESXi after reorganization process is started, enable SSLv3 on ESXi (which is disabled by default). This will ensure that ESXi is added to the VC inventory automatically in minutes and sanitation as completed.

  If I'm reading things correctly, upgrade to vCenter Server to 3 b first and then upgrade the ESXi hosts, will avoid lost communication problems.  Can anyone confirm?

  It should be good if you update vCenter first.

  The problem is that pre - U3b vCenter 5.5 forces an SSLv3 connection when connecting to an ESXi host on port 443 (not the reverse). It does this, even if the host ESXi and vCenter SSL/TLS libraries actually support TLS 1.0 + since at least vSphere 4.0.

  So when you update one host to 5.5 U3b, the oldest vCenter again will try to force a connection SSLv3 that will fail, since SSLv3 has been disabled to the host. If you're updating vCenter, first of all, it will initiate a good TLS 1.0 + connection to more similar and updated hosts.

  Here is an explanation of the (pre - U3b) vCenter SSLv3 handshake behavior:

• Upgrade to ESXi 5.5 Update 1

  Intend to update one of my 5.5 guests on day 1 in the coming weeks but want to get the first steps and also make sure I have the correct file. The file is located on this page:

  https://www.vmware.com/patchmgr/findPatch.portal - Build number: 1623387, 2065832 KB

  After I download this ZIP I was planning on following the instructions on this link to get the. ZIP installed by using the update method, but the command line does not seem to work.

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2008939

  I connect to my host using PuTTY and just as a test, I ran the command at the end of the doc to see what the returned values 'list of vib software esxcli' which should have included the current version of which has been installed, but instead, I get "command not found". Then I tried to enter just 'exscli' and it gives me the same error. What I am doing wrong?

  

  > What am I doing wrong?

  You are connected to the vCenter Server Appliance rather than an ESXi host.

  BTW instead of use the version you mentioned, you can also use the last one which not only contains other improvements, but also fixes for the issue of software (OpenSSL).

• vCenter Server is a virtual machine, how can I update the host

  I have 2 guests in our environment, I have updated the host of the 2nd, but may not know how to upgrade the 1 host because vcenter server runs as a virtual machine on it. This has me thinking that I don't have the installation program as best as possible.

  Basically, we have 2 Guest boxes and a small box of DC. I don't really want to run vcenter on the dc area. What would be the best soltuong for our environment? Can I keep vcenter as a virtual machine? If Yes, how can I update the host it will run on?

  Thanks in advance everyone... Chris

  I was afraid of that say you that

  Well in this case you may need to update the host manually (see for example http://communities.vmware.com/people/vmroyale/blog/2011/09/15/updating-esxi-5--single-use-esxcli-how-to) even with the need to manually update the host on which vCenter Server is running, I would always run as a virtual machine. There is usually not that many updates.
