• Create notification of a particular hardware for ESXi host problem?

  Hello

  One of our 5.1 ESXi hosts is constantly a hardware problem (with hardware alert status).

  We would like to ask for your opinion

  (1) if we create a notification, should we use 'host' alarm?

  (2) is it possible to send a notification to the staff for this particular host with error alarm "host" other than other ESXi hosts (i.e. send to Tony and Stephen for ESXi host A Harware problem BUT only sent to Tony for another hardware ESXi hosts problem)?

  Your opinion is requested.

  Hello

  No, there is no option to select specific host in a cluster. When you set the alarm, it is fixed for the whole army in the cluster.

• ESXi network problem

  I have a strange problem of networking with ESXi, my infrastructure is described below:

  I'm under vCenter 5.5 on a VCSA (5.5.0 update 2d, Build 2442330). The environment is a mixture of ESXi 5.1 (especially U2) and 5.5U1a. We have 1 primary site with 5 sites all remote connected via GRE VPN tunnels, The VCSA is in the main site, each remote site has at least 1 ESXi server managed by the VCSA. Each remote site has independent internet so for each site, the basic router (which ends the GRE VPN) routes inside networks (essentially 10.0.0.0/8) through the tunnel and has a default route to the local firewall. ESXi boxes that are not configured with the router as the default gateway, none of the custom static routes have been added to ESXi.

  Two of my remote sites (a site has two servers ESXi, the other has a site) ESXi servers keep losing contact with vCenter. Nothing else on these networks is never a problem to talk to the main site, including talking to the VCSA. Three servers are different versions of 5.1. Here's what I've done for troubleshooting:

  1. ESXi can ping on virtually any host through the tunnel to the main site with the exception of the VCSA.
  2. I isolated my network management in ESXi to a physical NETWORK card and made a SPAN on the switch port, a capture of packets revealed that when the rattling of the VCSA ESXi put the packet on the wire with a destination MAC of the firewall. For all the other hosts on the main site of subnet ESXi sends the packet with a destination MAC address of the core router. Packet capture on ESXi itself (using tcpdump-uw) shows the same thing.
  3. The ARP tables on all hosts show correct MAC addresses for the router base and the firewall.
  4. Make a "vmkping - I vmk0 - N < core router > < VCSA >" succeeds (destination MAC is correct in this case).
  5. Add a static route to ESXi to the address of the VCSA force it to the top of base does not work, ESXi continues to send the packet to the Mac static routes these firewall have been removed after the failed test of workaround.
  6. Restart the host will solve the problem for a short time.

  Some info:

  These three server 1 is an IBM x 3300 M4 using Intel I350 GB network cards, the other two are R620s from Dell. The R620s each have 1 4-port Broadcom BCM5720-1 4 Intel 82580 ports. IPv6 has been disabled on all three hosts. Right now vmk0 is linked to an Intel NETWORK card on three servers, but barely I started to watch it, so I don't know if we saw the problem with vmk0 with a Broadcom.

  The Dells are inherited, so we have not done installs it but I reinstalled one of them yesterday (it was 5.1 U2 I reinstalled 5.1 U3) at the request of support for VMware. Support noted that the firmware and drivers were outdated and did not meet the HCL for those who have been updated when I reinstalled.

  IBM has been purchased and installed by our care last summer, firmware and drivers correspond to this LIST with the exception of the version of the BIOS that is a future release (it corresponds to the HCL for 5.5).

  I have a pension case, SR 15633456803. Initially, they tried to blame the network. Although it is clear to me that this is not a network problem, I put a case of Cisco in any way. Cisco has quickly threw the evidence I had gathered and made the same determination. The only way that this could be a network problem is with ProxyARP. ProxyARP is disabled on my firewalls, ESXi has correct ARP tables and when you talk to anything on the main network, in addition to the VCSA it sends the packet to the MAC address so clearly not a question of ProxyARP. At this point VMware said essentially that they are running out of ideas. I hope my reinstalled host stay online for more than a week, then I'll reinstall the other two hosts and call it a day if all goes well, but I'm preparing for the possibility that may not happen.

  We never seen anything like this or have any ideas?

  I understand the problem, ESXi does not correctly release the generated ICMP redirects. You can force the issue by restarting the vmk0 interface (or any port of kernel VM is your management interface) VMware KB: Internet control management protocol redirects, because a permanent fix I will disable ICMP redirects on my routers.

• 5.5u2 on X99s Mpower ESXi installation problem

  Hello world

  I have problems installing ESXi 5.5 u2 on a card mother MSI MPower X99S.

  Questions:

  No not initially on "out of resources" when loading tools.t00 (think it was solved by loading from a USB drive (UNetbootin used to create) instead of a CD.) Also updated sata-xahci - 1.10 - 1.x86_64.vib)

  Now the system crashes just after loading imgpayld.tgz with error "cannot resolve the circular movement".

  The system is as follows:

  Card mother MSI X99S MPower

  I7-5960 x extreme CPU

  64GB DDR4 RAM 2133

  10 * 6TB red WD

  permit aboard RAID5 with 6 of the HARD drive.

  She's.

  So, I tried the following:

  Re-download all the ISO images

  Install Esxi 5.0 (GROUP just after 'Initializing memory')-VMWARE ESXi - 5.0.0 - Rollup - 20111216.iso

  Looking for esxi implemented x 99 chipset and Intel ICh10r driver but found

  Any help is much appreciated and needed!

  Hello world

  I managed to solve it in a roundabout way.

  I gave the card combination mother/cpu/ram and swapped the Council, ram and cpu out to a different core I7 with 32 GB memory ddr3 Ram.

  Installing ESXI on this other configuration (motherboard is GA - X 79 - UD3) I discovered that ESXI captures not software raid created by the bios of the motherboard and I bought an Intel RS2WG160 raid controller and battery, updated the BIOS RAID intel, set up the raid that I needed and installed ESXI without any problem (VIB files after uploading the last VIB for the http://www.v-front.de/2013/11/how-to-make-your-unsupported-sata-ahci.html sata and the technical support site offers Intel)

  Once I had installed ESXi, I decided to try to swap the GA - X 79 - UD3 mobo, ram and cpu out with my configuration of origin either the MPower X99s, DDR4 RAM (and I7 CPU 5960 X)

  , but without having to re - install ESXI.

  It worked perfectly for me at this time there

  Bottom line - install the ESXI using another mobo, cpu and ram, then those Exchange and restart.

  Hope that helps others

• ESXi installation problem

  Hello

  I install Esxi - 5.0 on the i3 system.

  Previously, this system was 4 GB of RAM and now we have updated to 8 GB x 2 = 16 GB

  After upgrading the RAM, I am unable to install Esxi.

  I started the Setup-> CD Boot-> after the first screen, it is stuck @ starting VMkernel initialization...

  And blocking system.

  Help, please...

  To test the memory, you can use Memtest: http://www.memtest.org/

  You can also have a corrupt ESXi install image, however if you installed successfully with the disc before that is probably not your problem.

• ESXi installation problems

  Hello

  I'm new on this and so far Google has not found my problem.  I try to install ESXi on a Dell PowerEdge 2950, but the installer crashes just after the start to useropts.gz screen just after jumpstrt.gz.

  Anyone got any suggestions?

  What version of ESXi? The installation program is perhaps corrupt? Try downloading and using one of the Dell versions found here.

• script to find configuration of esxi host problems.

  Need a script to find if all configuration host on all issues the esxi host in the vCenter...

  example: alert, warning.

  Hello, nareshunik-

  You can consult the properties TriggeredAlarmState and ConfigIssue to display HostSystem for the VMHost objects, such as:

  Get-View -ViewType HostSystem -Property Name,TriggeredAlarmState,ConfigIssue | ?{$_.TriggeredAlarmState -or $_.ConfigIssue} | `    select name,         @{n="NumConfigIssues"; e={($_.ConfigIssue | Measure-Object).Count}},        @{n="NumAlarms"; e={($_.TriggeredAlarmState | Measure-Object).Count}}
  

  This will return just all hosts with a triggered alarm, a configuration problem or two (and the course of each):

  Name       NumConfigIssues  NumAlarms
  ----       ---------------  ---------
  myHost001                1          0
  myHost122                2          0
  myHost212                1          1

• Broadcom BCM57781 and esxi 5 problem!

  Hello vmware forums.

  Currently, I'm stuck with my Asrock 990FX Extreme3 onboard lan.

  
  The chipset is Broadcom BCM57781 well, I have the following problems with it:

  -It does not have dhcp, dhcp sends offers to the host, but somehow it says dhcp server is offline.

  -tried the static ip configuration (10.10.10.1 pc - 10.10.10.2 - esx) pc for esx ping failed, ping of esx to pc failed, so the static ip address does not work.

  -tried with input/output router, direct connect both pc and still does not get an ip address from the server dhcp or answer ping from both hosts, it's like a dead machine!

  -i see vmnic0 as work and active!

  What can I do?

  Are there drivers BCM57781 for esxi 5?

  Thank you

  Catalin-Aline

  No problem, glad it helped... Please come back and let others know that it works.

• ESXI connection problem

  Hello

  I can authenticate but after connecting when I try to open a Virtual Machine using Fusion 7 Pro console, I get this error message:

  "Unable to initialize the SSL session on the remote host."

  I can connect to the same server using a Windows machine and the client vSphere without problem.

  Any help or things to try would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Thomas

  I had this problem.

  I uninstalled my AntiVirus (SCCM R2 2012) software on my MAC and it works again.

• Setup ESXi backup problems

  I use vCLI to perform the backup of host ESXi on my Windows 7 PC. I use the following command:

  "c:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin > vicfg - cfgbackup.pl - Server".
  "10.8.7.73 s c:\temp.

  And get the following error:

  Configuring backup of the firmware in c:\temp...
  GET https://10.8.7.73/downloads/configBundle-xyx.net.tgz expired
  successful: 500 unable to write in "c:\temp": den PermissionEEI

  Please tell us which account needs to access my folder C:\temp.

  
  

  If I am not mistaken the command expects a backup file rather than a backup as the target directory. Try:

  "C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin > vicfg - cfgbackup.pl - Server 10.8.7.73 s c:\temp\ESXi-Backup.bak.

• License with ESXi 5 problem

  Hello

  I am trying to add the license key to ESXi 5 host but I get this error:

  Invalid license key: not found license file

  License key is for the most part of vSphere 5.

  I tried to assign this key directly to the host and vCenter. Both are giving the same error.

  I understand that all critical issues are grouped with vCenter server. Is this correct? I need separate key elements of ESXi, vCenter host?

  This 5 vsphere Essentials is one of HP.

  I think that what is happening you will need to save the key to your receipt from HP to VMware Licensing Portal years download ker approrate and then apply that to the vCenter server.

• ESXi virtualization problem

  I have a motherboard ASUS M4A785D - M PRO with AMD Opteron 1389.
  AMD Opteron 1389 is not supported for ASUS M4A785D-M PRO, but it works perfectly
  By CPU utility downloaded from the VMWare website, I noticed a different behavior between Windows 2003 V.M. and ESXi or Windows 2008.
  In line EVC mode supported, he acknowledged in W2003 AMD Gen 1, 2, and 3, but the other two only AMD Gen 1.
  ESXI virtualization I'm not able to use features that require a processor of Gen 3 (that is, fault tolerance, CVS,...) as my AMD Opteron 1389.
  My question is: which is the reason for this different behavior? Is this a bug of wrorkstation 8?
  Thank you in advance for your support suggestion.

  B.Rgds

  Nicola

  interesting - the setting guestOS in WS 8 has a greater influence than in earlier versions

  just curious - try to configure your VM ESXi as guestOS 2003 - maybe that helps

  other that this watch jmattsons post - he recently met another post on the VCA in a VM

• ESXi upgrade problems 4.0.0 294855 to 4.1

  Hello

  Im having trouble, my 2 hosts of ESXi 4.0.0 to 4.1 upgrade.

  I downloaded "upgrade-from-ESXi4.0-to-4.1.0-0.0.260247-release.zip" and it imported in Update Manager.

  I made a base and a group of reference with the upgrade and then associated with the host. When I scan it detects the upgrade, but it says its not in line and will not be installed.

  My vCenter server is version 4.1.0 build 258902

  Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance

  \Martin

  The host must show non-compliant in the Update Manager if you have attached the base with the 4.1 update to the host.  Have you tried actually host sanitation after setting and scanning?

• not enough ESXi license problem

  Hello, I have a lot of esxi servers

  and a center of virtul

  they have licenses before and they end

  After that I find the license and install them in vcenter

  icant add the old esxi to this vcenter he says tehre are not enough licenses it indicates the key, specified name or ID already exists.

  I restart the services

  service mgmt-vmware restart

  service vmware-vpxa restart

  restarting the service vmware-vmkauthd

  I have remove the esxi /etc/vmware/license.cfg license.cfg file

  nothing change

  and in the other servers I'm unable to access the specified host blah blah...

  OK it is clear now - you have VC 2.5 adds an ESX 3.5 hosts - so you need to update your server VC.

  In addition, you wrote you have Esxi hosts - but the hosts that you tried to add are ESX 3.5 (no Esxi).
