• What is a relationship between the data store and LUN?

  Hello

  I added 3 LUNS to a data store, but I can't list them since the MOB data store. Could someone tell me how to do it.

  Thanks in advance.

  Lee

  LUNS was formatted as VMFS and created a data store? If not, it will not be displayed. You can search for available LUNS that can be used to create a VMFS with QueryAvailableDisksForVmfs volume

• Want to take the certification VCP6-VTC, but I finished the 5.5 ESXi and vCenter Server 5.5

  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.

• The traffic between a host ESXi and vCenter Server is secure?

  Dear team,

  You pray let me know is traffic between a host ESXi and vCenter server (vice versa) is secure?

  The VC and ESXi version is 5.1U1a

  Mr. VMware

  Default SSL certificates are installed automatically. However, you can configure the third-party SSL certificates to make the environment more secure.

• 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

  -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.

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.

  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.

• MPP change on all of the hosts, adapters, and LUN

  Hello

  Is there a way I can change the PSP on my host, HBA and LUN instead of changing each manually in vSphere client?

  I have 47 machines, 6 HBAs and 3 hosts per cluster, I hope that I can automate this instead of manually changing each of them.

  Also, is it possible to change the defauly used PSP when I add a new LUN?

  -chris

  Yes, you want to use esxcli for the to do.

  for example

  esxcli nmp device setpolicy --device naa.500000e11053d940 --psp VMW_PSP_RR
  

  You'll want to make a simple loop on all your devices, and then set the psp you want to use

  In regards to the PSP by default for all devices, you can accomplish that by using the setdefaultpsp which requires 2 arguments: the psp you want to use and associated with the ATAS.

  for example here define us alternate default PSP if you use an array of EMC SYM

  esxcli nmp satp setdefaultpsp --psp VMW_PSP_RR --satp VMW_SATP_SYMM
  

  We define in our kickstarts so that any device added from this type of table, you will receive a RR PSP or any other rule that you want to add as a values by default so that you do not need to fix at a peripheral level

• 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

• ESXi and UPS - Eaton?

  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!

  There is a Virtual Appliance of Eaton, who is supposed to work with ESXi

• 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)
