• Can I use vSphere Client 5.0 to ESXi 4.1 Manager servers?

  I'm looking to deploy a new ESXi server.  I am considering using 5.0 instead of 4.1.  Can I use the vSphere Client 5.0 to manage my 4.1 older servers or should I keep the customers the same version as the servers?

  We use Essentials so our configuration of VMWare is not very complicated.

  Thank you

  Welcome to the community,

  VMware uses an individual customer for each version. However, the version can co-exist and you start really is a launcher that determine the ESXi/vCenter version you will connect to and then starts the appropriate customer.

• EAS with 2 servers admin? possible

  helllo,
  
  I added 2 essbase servers
  
  1 local host (my essbase server)
  2. my work (company)
  
  But what I meant is now... I could add two servers in Administration servers but is it possible to open both in EA even... because when I open the localhost iam not able to open my work (company) that I need to reopen new EAS... is possible for the two servers as local host is installed in my PC and my work is installed in another location
  
  
  I hope I made my self clear... If not, please drop your comments

  You try to add servers Administration 2 or 2 Essbase?

  You can certainly open 2 Essbase servers if you add the two under one or the other one of the servers of the Regional service (for example to add both essbase servers in your 'localhost' EE)

• Use virtual servers to ESX 3.5 in ESXi 5.0

  Hello everyone

  First of all, sorry for my bad English. It is not my language.

  So, I have a question. For the moment, let's have an ESX 3.5 Server 2 virtual servers. (Windows Server 2003)

  Now, we want to improve our ESX 3.5 to 5.0 ESXi. We bought a new server on which we want to run ESXi 5.0. So is it possible to simply copy these virtual machines in ESX 3.5 to 5.0 ESXi? (Updated the vmTools) Or I need to reinstall all of these machines?

  Best regards

  Dominik

  Welcome to the community...

  The new host (ESXi 5.0) is going to be autonomous? If so, you can use Vmware Converter to import the virtual machine to the new host ESXi 5.0

  If you have the shared storage and assign to 5.0 ESXi host, you can remvoe the virtual of ESX 3.5 machine and it add new virtual host, VMtools upgrade equipment, etc...

  You need to remove hidden devices that you are moving to new hardware.

• PCI possible Passtrough on ESXi?

  I am looking to virtualize multiple machines, which is an Asterisk server that uses a FSX/FXO PCI card.  The virtual machine requires exclusive access to this map.  PCI passthrough is possible with ESXi?

  No it's not possible - you can not move a PCI device via a virtual machine

• VMware Server Version 2.0.2 - migrate VM to ESXi 5.5?

  Hey guys

  I use an old Dell T410 with VMware Server Version 2.0.2 (Build 203138) server running on top of serving 2008R1.

  I'm looking to install a new server and you want to run ESXi 5.5.

  Is it possible to convert VM VMware Server Version 2.0.2 (Build 203138) to ESXi 5.5?

  Otherwise I'm running Shadowprotect. If I can't convert, is it possible to do a HIR to ESXi 5.5 from an image of a VM from VMware Server Version 2.0.2 (Build 203138) Shadowprotect?

  Finally, I was looking for to run ESXi 5.5 Essentials (not more) on the new physical host and then use the old host as a temporary backup with ESXi 5.5 too. I have to buy 2 x 5.5 ESXi licenses to run it on both machines?

  If you want more specifications about the network made me know.

  Kind regards

• HP DL360 G6 "Noncompliant" with ESXi 5.1

  Hello

  I have two DL360 G6 running with ESXi 5.0U1 and I wanted to upgrade to 5.1.

  I downloaded die ESXi HP - 5.1.0 - standard-iso and added to the Update Manager, but when I check for an upgrade, I get the error that the servers are "Non-compliant".

  The DL360 G6 VMware Compatibility Guide must be supported for ESXi 5.1.

  Is it possible to know why it is Non-compliant?

  If I'm not mistaken, UM produce generally / alert error "Non-compliant" If ONLY your hosts (ESXi 5.0) do not correspond with your intended base line (5.1 ESXi) when you attach it to the guests. However, once you patch the host with this baseline, it should change to consistent.

  'Inconsistent' should be of concern.

• ESXi 4.0 to 5.0 upgrade

  First of all the part I: good subject?

  HY,

  First part II: I'm new to VMware... Be prepared to explain the basics of... (I'm just learning by using and now need some more general information about the update process... to understand what the idea)

  I have 2 physical servers. One with ESXi 4.0 and the other with ESXi 4.1. On these systems of ESXi, I run a total of 10 servers. To manage them and all servers on them, I use two separate vSphere customers.

  Now I want to move to ESXi 5.0 and I don't know which way I have to choose...

  The simplest way seemes to vCenter Update Manager. But I do not have a vCenter. The first question is: should I buy a just save some time on the upgrade of my virtual "sphere"...? (Q1) Is there an update for vSphere Client Manager? (Q2)

  What are the other options? (Q3) so I have no vCenter should I do with the command line? (Q4)

  If you would like to recommend buying a vCenter I have a few questions:

  -Cannot run vCenter on the ESXi which should be updated... right? (because it cannot update its own ESXi host) (Q5)

  -I can run vCenter since a normal Dektop PC (not as a virtual machine)... right? (Q6)

  A few Questions about the update process:

  We always have an ESXi host with some servers on this... We must therefore update ESXi as well as all the servers that are running on it... (in addition, we need update vCenter and vSphere Client)

  Here is how I would do or how I understand the process: (with vCenter)

  (1) install vCenter 5.1 (which is compatible with 4.x and 5.x) on a Dektop PC and connect to my ESXi 4.0

  (2) install for my vCenter Update Manager...

  3) update ready for ESXi with UpdateManager

  4) update ready for all virtual machines with UpdateManager

  (4) start updates

  These statements are correct?

  -Can I update my ESXi and my VM automatically when I use and properly configure the Update Manager (Q7)

  -l'UpdateManager can roll automatically when an update fails? (but what when the ESXi update was ok, but some of the virtual machine cannot lie?) (Q8)

  Or... Would you recommend to separately update?

  -copy all the VM to a new location

  -convert the virtual machine is there to 5.0

  -ESXi 5.0 update and bind the new data store (where is all VM 5.0) and then test the 5.0 VM on the new 5.0 ESXi... if ok remove the old data store 4.0 (and if wanted to move the 5.0VM back to the old data store)... If NOK reinstall ESXi 4.0 and bind old data store where is all 4.0 VM...

  If you want, you can use the 'Qx' legend behind the question to answer a specific Question...

  Thank you very much in advance for your help!

  UPGRADE to ESXi:

  I checked again, the documentation and it looks really is possible to upgrade a host which was previously installed with ESXi 3.5 upgrade to ESXi 4 then 5 ESXi. I've never done, but in all cases the old hardware was not supported for the latest version of ESXi.

  In any case, the problem is not related to the VMFS version, but rather to the layout of the partition. ESXi 3.5 created 2 partitions bootbank with 48 GB each and with ESXi 4/5 the size of this partition must be of 250GB.

  I say try the interactive CD upgrade, but make sure you have a current backup of your virtual machines.

  UPGRADE of the virtual computer:

  The option to upgrade virtual hardware displayed only for virtual machines with older versions of hardware. If you want to see what it looks like, create a virtual dummy with HW version 4 machine by selecting "custom" in the installation wizard.

  Last UPDATED (general):

  Except for the order of upgrade of the tools and HW version, it seems ok. First upgrade tools to ensure that the virtual machine uses drivers required for the hardware upgrade.

• Hypervisor upgrade ESXi ESXi 4 paid 5.1

  We are currently managing the free version of ESXi 4.0, with 8 virtual machines running on it (pretty small machines).  Let's add a second server to our environment to run ESXi 5.1.  We will buy 5.1 ESXi licenses for both servers.  I am currently working on the best way to upgrade my server ESXi 4.0 5.1 when purchase us the license 5.1 and am looking for feedback.

  Since the new server will be setup from scratch, is wise to configuration server and vCenter, move the virtual machine to off the area of ESXi 4.0 on the new 5.1 box, box 4.0 upgrade and then replace the virtual machine on the old 4.0 box?  Is this possible with simply being the version of the hypervisor 4.0 box?  I'm looking for in the little downtime as possible.

  Any input or advice for the upgrade are greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

  Hi Busterbrown,

  You have no downtime to perform the task. Please follow the procedure below.

  1 update/install vCenter 5.1

  2. install ESxi on new Server 5.1

  3. create a cluster in vCenter and add the server (4.0 and 5.1)

  4 migrate virtual machines to new server

  5. turn the ESXi 4.0 in maintenance mode

  6. upgrade to ESXi 5.1

  7 balance virtual machines.

• VCenter Server with VMWare ESXi free 5 5

  Hi all

  Test the VCenter Server 5 Evaluation (60 day trial) to management all my 5 of VMWare ESXi (free license). It works with restrictions. These restrictions aren´t a problem for me. I need only to move (power off of virtual machines), clone, create templates for and organize my servers in a single interface VSphere Client. So, I would like to know what type of license of VCenter Server 5 woks if VMWare ESXi 5 free. Buy the VCenter Server 5 Standard?

  Another doubt is if VStorage works with VMWare ESXi free license I.

  Best regards

  Fabio Sobral

  Unfortunately the free ESXi hosts in vCenter management is not possible (except for the eval). The hosts of ESXi need a vCenter Server Agent license that is only available in editions 'paid' of ESXi.

• A few questions about VMware tools and U2 of ESXi 4.0 and 4.1

  In my workplace, there is a cluster of vSphere 4 six nodes containing 5 servers ESXi 4.0 U2 (4.0.0, 261974) and a server ESXi 4.1 (4.1.0, 260247).  Aparently, it was built that way in the environment concept then deployed into production and now I head for VMware deployment.  This environment is up in producgtion now for over 8 months with this configuration, but starting to be more widely used.  Ideally, I know, we should have all the nodes on the same patch level, but here's the question.

  Models used to get the operating system to the virtual machines in this environment were built on the apparently new 4.1 server using this version of VMware tools (Version 8.3.2 build-257859).  All so most of the running virtual machines, use this version of VMware tools.  Using this new version of VMware tools on a virtual machine running on a server ESXi 4.0 U2 ESXi would cause issues?  ESXi 4.0 U2 servers push version 4.0.0 build 261974 of the VMware tools, identical to the ESXi version.  The status of the VMware tools when the new 4.1 version is running on a host of U2 4.0 still shows as OK and we have operated this way for more than 8 months.

  Another problem is that we have still a few other virtual machines with the 4.0 build U2 VMware tools so when these virtual machines will eventually be VMotioned to an ESXi 4.1 host, VMware tools show as outdated.

  Until we can get of planned downtime to upgrade the servers, it should be like that for several weeks if possible.  We have HL7 interfaces on many of these virtual machines that are not too good with VMotion and being in an organization of health care, sometimes difficult to get downtime.  It is perhaps more possible to downgrade the only host to 4.0 U2 until we can plan time to upgrade all hosts.  I would keep the node in the cluster, even if for the moment, assuming that to release 4.1 with other guests at 4.0 U2 should not cause problems, since we can use the resources of that node in this cluster.

  Until then, ensuring that all the virtual machines in the cluster use the ESXi version 4.1 of the VMware tools (Version 8.3.2 build-257859) would be acceptable?  I just wanted to check that this version should be fully backwards compatible with the previous version of ESXi 4.0 U2, and as I mentioned before, its run like that and have noticed yet all the problems and the status of the VMware Tools also records OK when this new version works on ESXi 4.0 U2 host computer.  I just wanted some feedback from those of the community.

  Thank you

  Exactly, do you VMotion, virtual host 4.1 machine and if necessary would upgrade the VMware tools. To install VMware tools, it is necessary to restart the virtual machine.

  And another option that I say is the first upgraded version of all hosts ESXi4.0 U2 to 4.1, after that, you do an upgrade in the tools of all virtual machines vmware.

  Perfect.

  You´re are welcome!

• What should be the ESXi VM CPU settings on a server of type hyperthreading?

  What should be the CPU of VM VMware ESXi settings on a server of type hyperthreading?

  I have read the section of the hyper-threading http://www.VMware.com/PDF/Perf_Best_Practices_vSphere4.0.PDF .  He says:

  "Contrary to have twice more processor cores, which can
  about double performance - hyper-threading can provide anywhere from slight to significant
  increase in the performance of the system while keeping the pipeline of the most busy processor.

  He goes on to say:

  "An ESX system enabled for hyper-threading must behave almost exactly like the system without it. Logic
  processors on the same core had adjacent numbers of CPU, so CPU 0 and 1 are on the first core processors
  2 and 3 are on the second carrot and so on. »

  Logic:

  For VMware ESXi on hyper-threaded servers, what logically follows in my mind is:

  1. If a virtual machine requires the power of 2 hearts, I must specify 4 CPUs in the virtual machine settings.

  2. it is never effective not to assign any number of CPUS, which is not an even multiple of 2.  Thus, the minimum number of CPUs in the virtual machine settings must be 2.

  3 Server, in regard to the number of cores necessary to support the VMs system and planning remains the same for both hyperthreading and non-Hyperthreaded servers.  However, the hyper-threaded server deployment requires double the number of CPUS in the settings of the virtual machine to keep similar to a non-Hyperthreaded server performance and exploit the benefits of hyper-threading.

  4. when I ssh in the OS and see CPU 0, 1, 2, and 3, CPU 0 and 1 are the first kernel and CPU 2 and 3 are the second core.

  
  Question:

  This logic is correct?

  Logic:

  For VMware ESXi on hyper-threaded servers, what logically follows in my mind is:

  1. If a virtual machine requires the power of 2 hearts, I must specify 4 CPUs in the virtual machine settings.

  No, a vCPU get his plans for the base, either directly or when Hyperthreading is enabled (which makes the guest OS don't know, but ESX) via a logical processor generated by Hyperthreading. So if you want the client to use two hearts, assign two vCPU.

  2. it is never effective not to assign any number of CPUS, which is not an even multiple of 2.  Thus, the minimum number of CPUs in the virtual machine settings must be 2.

  The minimum number should be one vCPU. There is no guest without this vCPU. In fact, you should start with one vCPU when possible and increase the number when you have a good reason or really see a performance gain. This is because ESX must wait for the number of free kernels until it can plan the work of a SMP guest. So, if the client has two of vCPU he has two free cores. First, it must wait for these hearts to become free (which slows the guest) and then it occupies two hearts (which could slow down the other guests in function of the number of available cores). If Hyperthreading is enabled, ESX may plan the work faster, but always real treatment cannot be done by a physical core. For ESX 4 there are better SMP scheduling mechanisms, but these restrictions continue to apply generally. (http://communities.vmware.com/message/1692107#1692107)

  3 Server, in regard to the number of cores necessary to support the VMs system and planning remains the same for both hyperthreading and non-Hyperthreaded servers.

  Yes.

  However, the hyper-threaded server deployment requires double the number of CPUS in the settings of the virtual machine to keep similar to a non-Hyperthreaded server performance and exploit the benefits of hyper-threading.

  Lol Hyperthreading is either neutral, that it does not adversely affect the performance of the means or increase performance slightly due to faster programming (not treatment!).

• Upgrade ESX 4.0 to ESXi 4.1

  Hello!

  No one knows how to do? I have old 4.0 ESX servers, but I can't find how to put thick ESX to the thin ESXi instructions... Is it possible or just approved here facility fee?

  As your storage startup, you can use a local hard drive or usb flash drive. Both scenarios will be a migration or more or less similar to install because you will need to reconfigure your network and storage settings.

  You have 2 scenarios here

  1) download ISO Embedded (ESXi) on vmware website and install it on USB. You can use the existing VMFS created Local material without modification, when ESXi boots the first time, it detects and mount VMFS. Here, you must register again your virtual machines.

  If necessary you can remove the existing ESX partition like / boot, /, swap.

  (2) install Embedded (ESXi) ISO and install it on the Local hard drive. This time Installer release in addition to all the partition that was created on the local hard drive of the previous installation. Take the VMFS backup before installing

• Change the HARD disk in VMWare ESXi 3 Server

  Hi all

  I'm new in the Comunnity. I have the following problem:

  I have a Dell PowerEdge 2950 III with six 7.2 K rpm HDs in RAID 5 running VMWare ESX 3i in an internal USB unit. In this server, I have a virtual machine running a mail server. I have problems of performance of disks in servers and we will change the discs on 15 K RPM drive and change the RAID 10 RAID level. I activated the SSH in VMWare ESXi and my question is: is it possible to copy the virtual machine using Winscp or other method forders, rebuilt my RAID, and then copy these files to VMWare again?

  I'would want to know your suggestions on this matter.

  Thank you very much and best regards,

  Amedina

  You may need to use "add to inventory" since the UUID will be different on the store of data on disks. If we then open the data store with and navigate to the virtual machine. Right click and Add. You answer that you move them.

• Troubleshooting an issue of network ESXi

  I've done memory up gradation of a virtual machine and power, it works in a different ESXi in the same cluster, who do not have virtual machines.

  The virtual machine is not the ping requests, but able to access by using the console.

  However, the virtual machine is on the same switch distributed in the two ESXis.

  When I turned on in the old ESXi, it pings fine.

  No possible explanation?

  However, the virtual machine is on the same switch distributed in the two ESXis.

  In this case I would start checking the host's physical network connections and the physical switch settings, i.e. the tag/untagged, allowed VLAN...
