• F0169 (host name ESXi) service profile could not apply the configuration

  I just created a new vNIC on 2 of my new hosts. I created the pools MAC address before you start. As I create the vNIC I got the following error:

  Your changes:

  Created VNIC FTNNIC

  Create: network fault tolerance

  Fail the Configuration of:

  Profile service (ESXi host name) org-root-[(Server:sys/chassis-2/blade-8)]

  Failure reason: connection-investment

  There are not enough global resources

  Not enough available vNIC

  Are you sure you want to apply the changes?

  I click Yes, and then get F0168 error service profile could not apply the configuration?

  What I do wrong here and how to fix it?

  Can you please more information, for example

  -What type of Blade model, input-output adapter

  -Version UCS

• VMWare ESXi host AutoDeploy profile questions 5.1

  All,

  Our Organization has just bought a UCS configuration, and we are working to build on the new system. I have scoured the internet looking for a potential solution, but have not found. We get the following operation:

  VM Auto deployment server

  ESXi PXE boot process

  Set of rules that applies the profile of home on the connection with the vCenter

  We are experiencing a problem where when a host is added to the vCenter, the location of the swap of our host profile file does not apply (the swap file is on a data store that is also configured in the profile of the host). In addition, the vNIC for our vSwitches configuration has two network adapters for standby on all 3 vSwitches. The configuration is the following: two vNIC by switch, the expected host profile configuration is set to active, active. Each vNIC for each vSwitch is on a separate side of the UCS fabric (a and b). Cards network to view DHCP addresses assigned in ranges appropriate for all configurations, but the vNIC is intelligence rather than active, active.

  If more information would help to understand this issue, I am happy to provide.

  Thanks in advance.

  Apparently, it's a known issue:

• ESX to ESXi using host profiles

  I was wondering if anyone has tried to use the host profiles to facilitate the migration?

  That is to say take a profile of a host ESX and then install ESXi and then apply the profile of the host that you just do to this host?

  I think it should work.

  Stephen

  Note also that Host profile does not apply tweaks, like frames.

  And that vSphere 5 you can upgrade an ESX 4.x (but it have a previous update to 3.x) to ESXi 5 with most of its parameters

• The host ESXi 4 profile support

  Hi all

  I use 4 ESXi and vSphere Client 4 (free versions). Does anyone know if they support the ability to create profiles of host? I've read about them in the manual, but I don't seem to have the ability to use with vSphere Client 4

  Basically I'm looking for a way to back up the configuration of my host, so I don't have to manually configure all configuration information again in case I need to recharge.

  Thank you.

  Profiles of the host is available only through licensed Enterprise Plus - http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere/mid-size-and-enterprise-business/buy.html.

  You want to use vCLI or PowerCLI to make a backup of your ESXi hosts periodic configuration.  In case of problems with the system partition you either perform a new or repair the installation and then restore the backup of the configuration.

• Permisions required for mounting NFS on ESXi host

  Hi team,

  In our java application uses) use API VMWARE to mount the NFS datastore on the ESXi host. But to do this, we need the ESXI root permissions. Because having credentials root door reached the safety of the system, we would like to create a user with the required permissions will be sufficient to add the mounting NFS on ESXi host.

  But do not know how to see the permissions required for the Assembly of the NFS on ESXi host. Pointers would be useful.

  Thanks in advance,

  Anjana

  Hello

  Storage permissions lies in the roles of Group of data store.

  You should have a default profile role of storage in your vCenter.

• Can upgrade you 5.1 to 5.5 ESXi host using the zip file?

  I read the KB articles which seem to indicate that, to upgrade an ESXi host, you must use a vSphere Manager or an ISO on CD or USB.   But I saw someone go from 5.1 to 5.5 by downloading a zip file and running the commands, as indicated in http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2008939.

  When you connect through the vSphere client, it seems to indicate that it has updated to 5.5, but I fear that this may not be an upgrade path has officially supported or may be missing something.

  Anyone here can comment if you can upgrade between the press point with a zip and and the upgrade of the above method fix?

  Thank you

  Yes, it is a supported upgrade path, take a look here: VMware KB: methods of upgrade to ESXi 5.5

  Summary of 5.5 ESXi upgrade methods

  This table summarizes the methods supported for ESXi 5.5 upgrade:

  Upgrade methods	Upgrade from ESX/ESXi 4.x 5.5 ESXi	Switch from 5.0 to 5.5 ESXi ESXi	Go to ESXi ESXi 5.5 5.1
  vSphere Update Manager	Yes	Yes	Yes
  The CD interactive update DVD or USB drive	Yes	Yes	Yes
  Scripted upgrade	Yes	Yes	Yes
  vSphere Auto deploy	NO.	Yes, if the 5.0.x ESXi host has been deployed by using automatic deployment	Yes, if the 5.1.x ESXi host has been deployed by using automatic deployment
  esxcli	NO.	Yes	Yes

• Auto Deploy, host profile and answer files

  Hello

  I'm busy trying to learn a little more about Auto deploy. I'm trying to figure out what is the best practice when it comes to the part host profiles of the automatic process of deploy. The way I see there are two ways to use host profiles.

  (1) for each host, I create a separate host profile and create necessary deployment rules, one rule per host.

  (2) I create a host profile and only one rule of deployment and then use the response file option to create the unique settings of the host.

  I've set up two option, option 2 seems less reliable while option 1 works every time. So my main question is what is the recommended method to use profiles to host with Auto deploy.

  Thank you

  Hello

  It is usually done through your supplied option 2.

  Create a profile from a host of reference and apply this profile to a host or a cluster.  Usually a cluster or however you define your deployment rules.  Update of the personalization of the host, then remove it from maintenance mode.

  Documentation on the profiles of the host.

  Here a documentation to Auto deploy

  I am a big fan or Pluralsight and Nash did a great job in this series.

  Training, Pluralsight

  Course: VMware vSphere Optimize & scale series

  Part 3: Monitoring & Automation

  Section: Self help to deploy for the deployment of ESXi

  So, that is the 'best practice' or ' recommended?  Good question.  Which is usually answered by - what is best for you!

  I hope this helps a little.

• where is the option Net.UseHwTSO host profile?

  I have a host profile I want to apply to a host, but there are some issues that need to be ironed out. I get the error of compliance "Net.UseHwTSO options have been modified by their default values expected", but I can't find Net.UseHwTSO in the tree of the policy of home options. If I could, I would just disable the policy for him. Or, maybe I could add a customization because only two machines have this different from others. No idea how to find it?

  vCenter Server 5.1, 5.1 ESXi

  OK, now I thought to myself. I decided to create a separate for machines with this problem profile (because they also have other issues).

  Change the profile of the host (with vSphere client): right-click right the advanced configuration option > choose Add profile > expand the new profile option created > click Advanced option and choose to set up a permanent option in the menu drop-down (see the other options if you don't want to do it this way) > enter the name of the option as specified in the option name and the value in the value box. To find out what should be the value, look at the configuration options of the non-compliant host.

• Updated 5.1 ESXi host

  Hello

  I have a VMware 5.1.0 host 1157734. There the ESXi image profile - 5.1.0 - 799733.

  Software using the command esxicli vib UPDATE without specifying the vib for the esxi-510-201404001, is the host became fully updated?

  Or do I have to install each updates in order?

  Thanks in advance...

  Dmsousa

  You can patch the current build using only the last patch of the host. Please take a look at KB VMware: installation of patches on an ESXi host from the command-line 5.x for the difference between install and Update, especially if you use additional drivers or the vendor/OEM facility.

• Not able to create a host profile

  Hi all

  I m using Vsphere with vcenter 5.5 but when I try to create the host a specific profile host then it gives the error, 'Name of the Instance of Netstack not valid' when creating as well as the newspaper of vpxd

  I searched but nothing found

  I appreciate all

  Concerning

  Sagar-CRS

  WebClient allows to connect you to vCenter, go to the tab network for esxi host, select vmkernel adapters and find "" TCP / IP Stack '. " Each unique adapter should get value for this cru. Select the vmkernel impacted port. Click the Refresh button.

  If this does not work, reboot the host of problem. Do it on all three hosts.

  Anyone has an idea why I am unable to generate these profiles? I added the other stand-alone hosts (in other data centers) to test and I am able to generate profiles of those without problem. I tried to take one of the above 3 nodes in the cluster to generate the profile, but I got the same errors as above.

  I was getting exactly the same problem in my environment who you are. Here's a knockout that help me solve the problem.

• Change the password for root to an ESXi host

  Hello

  I need help to get a script VCO that change password for root to an ESXi host.

  In PowerCLI is the Set-VMHostAccount cmdlet. I searched in VCO API... I have not found or something similar.

  I found the object of VcHostAccountSpec but seems it only works with "Host Profiles" and my licenses are Standard and Enterprise.

  http://www.VMware.com/support/Orchestrator/doc/vco_vsphere51_api/HTML/VcHostAccountSpec.html

  Any idea?

  Thanks, Roberto

  Another option would be to connect to the ESXi host with vCO plugin SSH and run the command "passwd" remotely. Haven't tried, but in theory, it should work.

  @Tim - we try to keep the compatibility of the existing whenever possible plug-ins vCO so PowerShell module should work with the latest vCO relies.

• The host profile

  Everything by applying the profile on an ESXI host is possible to apply only a few settings on an individual host profile not all host parameters.

  Yes its possible, you must change the profile, and then select only the parameter, you must apply on the host
