ESXi and EXT3?
If I have access to the console for ESXi (SSH), is it possible to mount a drive with EXT3 file system?
I'm trying to move existing data from an ext3 partition on an internal SATA drive to one of my stores of data. Thanks for any advice you may have on this.
ESXi does not support ext3 or other Linux file systems.

Hello
2 years ago I had the training for 5.5 ESXi and vCenter Server 5.5 - I wonder if that would satisfy the requirement and allows me to pass the exam VCP6-VTC? Or should I stick with the VTC VCDP5 only?
Have you taken after school.
5.5 vSphere install, configure and manage.
If so, please attend vSphere: what's new [5.5 to 6.0]
It is a 2 day course that will allow you to take the exam VCP6-VTC.
Otherwise, take VCP550 review and upgrade to VCP6-VTC in taking 2V0 - 621D.

vCloud Director: using different groups of ESXi and vCenters
Apologies for a question very newb-ish, but my knowledge of the vCD is very limited.
VCD of can control and manage the following:
1. multiple ESXi clusters under the vCenter even?
vCD-> ESXi group has and ESXi cluster B
2. several server vCenter, with their own groups of ESXi.
vCD-> A vCenter and vCenter B. vCenter cluster Cluster A1 ESXi and ESXi A2 A-> . vCenter B-> Cluster B1 ESXi and ESXi cluster B2.
I hope that all the senses. I'll be happy to extrapolate more.
Hello
Please find the answers
1. multiple ESXi clusters under the vCenter even?
vCD-> ESXi group has and ESXi cluster B
Yes, VCD support certainly take the resources of multiple clusters. To be more specific model allocation is deciding factor we can extend on cluster or not.
2. several server vCenter, with their own groups of ESXi.
vCD-> A vCenter and vCenter B. vCenter-> Cluster A1 ESXi and ESXi cluster A2. vCenter B-> Cluster B1 ESXi and ESXi cluster B2.
Yes, we can certainly have several VC related to VCD. To max, it supports 25 VC.

ESXi and local RAID 1 - do not know if it works
I have setup a RAID 1 (2 discs) on my box of ESXi. Now I loaded ESXi and registered in with the vSphere client. In "The memory", is to show both of these drives. Should it only showing a?
I thought that ESXi should see 'one' in the car for me to put on.and data warehouses, then the RAID controller would just reflect. But when I try to create a data store, it allows me to opt for the second time either of these discs on first, then the other drive. Is this job right? This doesn't seem to be just if I can just add warehouses of data on each disk individually.
which means that you are not using the controller RAID HRDWARE and using your software RAID. in esxi software RAID is not supported

a few questions about ESXi and SAN CF with HP P2000 G3
Hello everyone!
I am new to ESXi and SAN, then I need help for her.
I have Encolosure C7000 system with 4 blades BL460c already installed ESXi 5.1U1 (HP custome ISO image). Everything works fine now, but I do not understand something:
-What is the management network which I use vSphare Client to connect to? It is a private network to manage ESXi servers what difference with VMnetwork used by Virtual Machines? Because I've set up an IP address for this connection manually, but it is of course separate with IP addresses, I used on Virtual Machines.
-If my system has problem, so I have to reinstall ESXi, license keys can be used again? Already, I have 8 license key for 4 blades (2 CPUs per server), but they have not yet used. Because I am new to ESXi, cause I had to reinstall ESXi several times to understand.
-When I install successful ESXi, I don't know how to start working with SAN. What should I configure P2000 before it be plugged into the SAN switch? Or I can plug it then config later? Because I don't see it on the ESXi server. And on the OS I installed on the Guest Virtual Machines, I see nothing new in Device Manager. I thought that this guest operating system will detect the mezzanine card. But I see only mezzanine card that connect to the P2000 by SAN switch in ESXi (see image here http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/684/dsc04088k.jpg ). To my knowledge, I think that ESXi server have to detect the P2000 as hardware device. Can someone teach me step by step install and configure a San on ESXi? Or show me a tutorial because I searched but only iSCSI results.
My devices:
01 7.1 HP BLc7000 CTO 3 IN LCD ROHS Encl.
04 BL460c G8 servers HP FlexFabric 8.5 10 Gb 2 p 554FLB FIO blade adapter
02 7.3 HP B-series 8/12 c BladeSystem SAN Switch
01 HP P2000 G3 MSA FC Dual Controller
Thanks for any help, sugession or comment!

Because I've set up an IP address for this connection manually, but it is of course separate with IP addresses, I used on Virtual Machines.
Yes, it's a separate network used only for traffic management between ESXi hosts and vCenter - it is also the network used to connect to the environment - that's different, then the network used by your virtual machines
-If my system has problem, so I have to reinstall ESXi, license keys can be used again? Already, I have 8 license key for 4 blades (2 CPUs per server), but they have not yet used. Because I am new to ESXi, cause I had to reinstall ESXi several times to understand.
Yes the license keys can be reused, and if you use vCenter licenses will be managed by vCenter

Yes, you will be able to configure the San later - by default, the virtual machine will not see the SAn, as it is virtualized by your ESXi host - all the VM will see is a virtual SCSi disk - this doc's guide to vmware for storage - http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-511-storage-guide.pdf - you can visit the website of HP they might have documentation on configuring P2000 for vSphere -.

Differences Betweem ESXi and ESX
Hai,
I want to know the differences between ESX and ESX? where can get. If they are distinguished by the features that are available are not available.
Thank you.
Most of the features are available in available in ESX ESXi. In order to get the full functionality of ESXi, the host must be managed by vCenter Server.
ESX has a console that is drastically reduced in ESXi. It is actually easier to install and easier to manage ESXi.
See;

Differences between ESXi and Vsphere hipervisor
Hi guys,.
I need to understand the difference between ESXI and Vsphere hipervisor.
Is it correct to say that Vsphere ESX?
Help will be very useful.
Thank you very much
vSphere is the range of products, including (hypervisor) ESX, vCenter (management) etc.
In comparison, you asked "Is this correct to say that a shoe laces"? No, not really. One is a part of the whole.

ESX, ESXi and vCenter and virtual machines
Hello all - I need to re - certify my VCP this month so I decided to sit down this weekend to set up a virtual lab. I managed to get ESX, ESXi and vCenter working all in s vm on my laptop in less than 4 GB. I use Player version 3 for now. I have Workstation 6.5 but I have to spend my VCP to get a key of 7 workstations and improve it.
The manual is a bit long, but here is the link if you are interested. I'll update everything to Workstation 7 after my review. I hope that some of you find it useful!

Nice - Thanks for posting.
I doubt that you must update for Workstation 7 as VMplayer 3 is nothing else than a torn Workstation 7. It has the same basic functionality.
So, nothing will be different if you use Workstation
By the way - Starwind is really nice simulate a San.
Another interesting thing, that you know may not...
It is possible to assign up to 8 GB of RAM to your virtual ESXs, even if the host itself has only 4 GB of RAM.
For this I have
prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = 'TRUE '.
prefvmx.minVmMemPct = '5 '.
in the file config.ini from the host. Do not run and then
Using this trick, I was able to run 4 ESX virtual machines on my laptop 4 GB RAM running 2 k 3-32 bit host

As a new user of ESXi (and at the moment, the test user), I wonder how install you ESXi to work with an inverter?
How do you get the ups to send a signal to ESXi to stop (and to stop guests) free of charge until the battery runs out?
I've seen points to a script that can do this, but it seems this does not work with ESXi 4 in any case.
I heard that Eaton (Powerware) makes the units (5130 and 9130 I believe) that can interact with ESXi through their Netwatch software.
Does anyone use this? Is there a large number of scripts? Or did you just put the CD and install the software (assuming that the camera comes with a software installation CD)?
Thank you in advance!

With the help of ESXi and vCenter
Hi all, I have some doubts on the use of ESXi and Virtual Center.
Recently, we have set up 2 servers ESX with Virtual Center, all allowed in the Standard edition to have an available shared storage and HA.
Our idea is to set up a new server with ESXi installed for testing purposes.
Is possible to manage this server ESXi with our real VirtualCenter or we need a license? This particular server does NOT use shared storage or HA.
Thanks for your help!
Kind regards
Diego
Yes, you need a license for ESXi manage VirtualCenter. You can purchase the license to the Foundation. Please see the license attached (on page 3)

Hello
I can't start a discussion in the community CLI to I write here.
When I try to use the CLI tools to manage a few shots on an ESXi 4 Server I get strange errors.
CMD: snapshotmanager.pl - Server XXX.XXX.XXX. XXX - XXXXXX - nom_snapshot Test vmname - create operation
Result:
Fault:
SOAP fault:
-
Error string: error. RestrictedVersion.summary
Lack of details: RestrictedVersionFault
The operation using 'list' works very well but not create or delete.
No idea why it does not work for a 4.0 host but is ideal for a 3.5?
The reason why it worked for you on ESXi 3.5 is probably the version you were using was U2 or U3 where the VI API has an internal bug that allowed two full read/write access, which allows you to perform operations such as switching to a virtual computer or take a snapshot. Go ESXi 3.5u4 +, which includes 4.0 moving forward, the API VI is read-only. Before more details please look here: http://vmetc.com/2009/03/31/esxi-u4-ends-free-version-read-and-write-access-from-the-rcli/
You still have a few options, either unlock the console SSH not supported to automate snapshots using vimsh vim - cmd wrapper, using the VI Client or use VMware VIX and vmrun which currently is not governed by the VI API, take a look here for more information: is not happy with lockdown 3.5u4 VI API/RCLI ESXi? Worry not, VMware VIX to the rescue... for now =)

OK, that's more information for me...
IM new in the area of esxi, but have used vmware workstation for years...
I have install esxi on a dell optiplex desktop computer (for test sake)
and installed
Server 2003 domain controller 1 vm, dhcp, dns
Server 2003 with Server services and Altiris deployment pxe
I can start... a new machine virtual boot (pxe boot) network and the image of a virtual machine with XP using altiris...
all this is good...
now that im confused about saying are a SIN...
I saw freenas and openfiler
IM install openfiler now but my question is...
1 files (say in iso format and applications installation media) are in a virtual machine session or may openfiler connect to a hard drive.
My goal is just to take an ide drive... connect to a desktop computer and copy on a ton of media in iso format and applications...
to connect that back to the esxi and use it as a file server...
If im a little confused on the part...
IM testing things that we will get our dell blades operational soon and im trying to emulate what we have in there... I just don't understand how you have a file server that can simply use drives without OS...
confused? I'm so...
If you install OpenFiler, it will allow you to take the space that OpenFiler can see and share on the network. You can do it in format NAS, which means that you share space as UNIX (NFS format) network drive or network Windows (CIFS) drive. CIFS will allow you to map as a drive of Windows machines. What I wanted to say, it is that you won't be able to take this drive somewhere else for a different operating system and recognized her as you think.

STOR. ESXi and E BASICS
I have this problem:
We use servers that are virtualized with ESXi Hypervisor.
And the Windows operating system uses the STOR. E BASICS 500 GB to backup their data.Now a hard drive of this type felt, the hard drive is about 1 year ago.
So I want to swap the drive with one of the same only more recent type, but now ESXi does not realize it.In a Windows operating system, the drive works fine, but ESXi, I have a chance!
Y at - it a new firmware or something differnet changed?Experiences?
The STOR. E BASICS 500 GB 2.5 "is the USB3.0 external HARD disk.
It s a device plug n - and - play, requiring no additional drivers.Toshiba says that this HARD drive works properly under Microsoft Windows XP/Vista / Windows® 7 8/Windows/Windows 8.1
The HARD disk supports the USB3.0 standard, and this means that you must 900mA can get it recognised correctly.
In the case where the drive HARD isn't recognized on USB 2.0, I recommend you to use a USB cable to Y which allows to connect the HARD drive to two USB 2.0 ports
