  Hola mokymura,

  ES UN normal behavior. Compares lo mismo cuando tienes a grouping y pierdes redundancia of caminos, is is marcado con el WARNING pero los enlaces are themselves well encuentran.

  Este behavior is debe a vCenter as any you can recover el evento what indicates that ha vuelto al estado normal. Debido a esto hay do a manual reset of alarmed her.

  Tripped reset alarms of the event

  An alarm triggered by an event could not settle back to a normal state if vCenter Server does not retrieve the event that identifies the normal state. In this case, reset alarm manually to return to a normal state.

  Hi Chris:

  Make sure that you have configured according to the PDF attached things EQL. There have been some changes of VI3.5 regarding the iSCSI configuration and initiator software was completely re-written in vSphere. For example, multiple paths is a little different, and they recommend you actually have a vmkernel port for each physical NIC and that substitute you the failover parameters. You are or ESX servers can be remove connections that the volume rational access EQL moving to different Eth interfaces on the controller (just a thought). This is explained in the document.

  There is also a video cool tech that goes along with the document. http://www.EqualLogic.com/ResourceCenter/video.aspx?ID=8455

  Let me know if it helps!

• Help: The ESXi host has no persistent storage

  We have an ESXI 5.0 installed on our Dell server and we have some virtual machines running. suddenly, we had a mistake on Vsphere client.

  "EXSI host has no persistent storage.

  To run the virtual machine, create at least a data store for the maintenance of the machines virtual and other system files. »

  to resolve this problem, so we tried.

  On Vsphere client (connected to the ESXI)-> configuration-> storage-> rescan all... once the re-scanner has been done.

  We are able to see the file was mounted on the data store and it is lost in a minute. so it isn't permanently mounted to the data store to access the virtual machine.

  Once we do the re-scan once again, we saw that the file has been fitted to the data store and lost again.

  assemble and disassemble is to continue to switch.

  We need a solution to fix the problem, or in the worst case we need a way to recover the Esxi machine (VMS) data.

  Kindly share the reflections.

  It should be a disk error, it is local storage that tempt you and the virtual machine files are stored in the local disk

  don't forget to check the logs on the bit/ucs, regardless of the remote management tool, you use...

  Please check the log files and vobd.log vmkernel

• 1st install ESXi does not connect to the network

  I used VMware Fusion and several versions of the workstation. I am a computer SCIENCE student and I'm trying to set up a virtual server for the purpose of learning environment.

  First, I installed ESXi in workstation computer on my laptop. I scare IT LIKED. I ran to the store bought a fresh HDD to install ESXi to my old server Supermicro (MBD-PDSMA + o LGA). During installation, I received a warning that the Intel Virtualization has been disabled on my motherboard. I activated that can restart the installation. No matter what I try I can not this 'thing' to get an address from my DHCP server. I even tried unpluging my router and using several computers on my network as DHCP servers. Each of them I tried my entire network has received fresh IP address but my supermicro box did not. I tried to use two network, port 0 only ports and only 1 port. After having lost about 24 hours I tried to install 5.0.0 and it worked without problem. I would like to be able to update the latest versions unmolested my network connection is going to die on me when I do.

  Ideas?

  My next issue will be storage because not even my JABOD drives appear in my passthrough RocketRaid 2220 and PCI does not seem to be an option for this card. Yep, that's good baby PCI - X... Say what you want about RocketRaid, this card was sitting at the bottom of a box of son with no static case a few years to 3-4 moves and it still works like a champ.

  I had the same problem with a card mother similar supermicro who has the same Intel Lan Adapter as yours.  Using the e1000 drivers of 5.0 worked for me.  I followed the instructions in this thread:

• ESXi host has no persistent storage / fsUUID is null

  Hello

  The issue I'm having involves a HP N40L Microserver w / local storage on a HP SmartArray P410 controller.  6 hard drives configured in a RAID10 array and the multitude of ESXi what OS runs on local USB.

  A recent issue w / the matrix raid caused a crash of the VMS resident and now "host ESXi has no persistent storage" message.

  I solved the problems of disk HARD w / table (replaced a disk), and the table is presented in the peripheral topic under "HP Serial Attached SCSIDisk.  ID is naa.600508b1001c8d82bf5f4a33f0e2bc04

  However, the data store does not appear in the tab of data warehouses.  I refreshed and restarted several times w / no success.

  This data store was run on an installation 5.1 ESXi (ISO custom HP) for a few years without problem.

  To try to solve the problem, I installed ESXi 6.0 U1 on a new USB stick which fortunately is now running in the Microserver but presenting the same behavior for the data store.

  I got this case, where I'm running ESXi 5.5 u3b, try to connect it to a U2/U3 5.5 vCenter.

  The difficulty here is, IF you use a host ESXi U3b 5.5, then your vCenter should be 5.5 U3b as well.

  Product build VMware KB: Correlation between VMware numbers for update levels

  Use the above KB article and search for free your ESXi build corresponds to the. If it is 5.5 U3b, then check that your Build vCenter corresponds to (vCenter > help > about VMware vSphere)

  If 5.5U3b ESXi and vCenter isn't, then pass the vCenter 5.5 U3b

• 'Lost connectivity to storage device' on a SAS controller is installed locally?

  Hello

  I have two HP Proliant DL380 G6 installed with custom HP ESXi 5.5 U2. Both machines have an internal HP SmartArray P410i SAS controller on board, and I've added a second controller P410 that is attached to a secondary drive frame. In the first cage of readers, I have a disk array and in the second, I have a table over a disc other than whole for this test.

  On both machines when I boot the system recognizes both controllers and diskarrays and data warehouses, but after awhile, it loses the connection to the datastore2 which is the table two caged. The individual disc also disappeared, but since there is no data store created on this one it is not reported.

  I got the first started server once and after about 4 days, the second data store has disappeared. After I stopped the machine and started another but it was the same thing. About 4 to 4.5 days and the data store has failed. The only material I have swap between the two machines are the disc itself, everything is installed locally and therefore replaced when I swap server.

  Before I installed ESXi I got the machine to start a Windows Server 2008 R2 with the HP drivers and I have not had any problems for about a week. Because if this, and because the only thing that is used in the two server are the discs I'm tempted to think it's not a hardware problem. (I added the only drive two caged to see if it is the matrix of discs that crashes or all in the cage.)

  After the last restart, I created a few screenshot with all works very well and now I added a few photos more with my discs/data warehouses has failed. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, but maybe someone could give me a clue of which direction, I need to continue the investigation. Any help is appreciated. Thank you very much.

  best regards, Markus

  5.5 U2 contains HPSA.74, which does not work with P410i. Upgrade to HPSA.84 or downgrade to HPSA.60. + updated firmware for something more recent.

• 5.5 ESXi does not connect to VCenter 5.5

  I'm under VMware ESXi 5.5:

  Product: VMware vSphere Enterprise 5, Plus allowed for 2 processors physical (unlimited cores per processor)

  I installed VCenter 5.5 and the Appliance virtual VMWare.  However, when I connect to the web interface, I do not see the ESXi server, nor do I have the possibility to add the data center, or add anything else.  The VCenter 5.5 software all runs on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard.  I have disabled all firewall on this machine just to exclude.  I can connect to port 902 this machine ESXi machine.  I don't know what I'm doing wrong.  Looking at the logs on the computer of ESXi, I see no mention of it trying to connect, unless I'm looking in the wrong place.

  Can someone point me in the right direction on how it works?  I looked everywhere on the VMWare Web site and followed all the instructions, nothing good.  I even edited the vcpx.cfg file and manually add the IP address of the machine of VCenter.

  If you need me to post logs / files of configuration or anything else, I will do so.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Screenshots of the problem you are experiencing would help a lot. Anyway, when you connect to the Web Interface, your first login must be in the [email protected] and the password you configured during the installation of the device. This will allow you to create all the objects, you need and assign the access rights that are related to your domain account.

• ESXi 4.1 cannot read storage formatted by ESXi 5.1?

  I'm not sure that this is the case, but I installed a bladecenter hs21 blades with chassis and some fiber chain stores. I then installed esxi 5.1 on the first blade and it works very well.

  However, I can not install a blade that already has say 4.1 on him because he never sees the storage. I then installed a blade and installed esxi 4.1 during this blade the same storage as esxi 5.1 but when I try to add new storage, I get the following error;

  Call "HostDataStoreSystem.QueryVmfsDataStoreCreateOptions" of object "ha-datastoresystem" on ESXi "x.x.x.x" failed.

  There is also an error that says that the storage is empty which is not like the first hs21 he uses as I type this.

  Hey,.

  ESXi5 will create VMFS 5 by default, which cannot be used by ESXi4. It can use VMFS3.

  When creating a data store, you can also choose to create as VMFS3 on an ESXi5 host so well.

  I installed ESXi 5.1 update 1 on a Dell R720 server. The installation was made using ISO provided custom in the Dell site.

  After installation I can't connect or ping to the machine.

  After SSH-ing to the host via the console I could see that the host can ping to its own IP address, but not of its front door.

  Is this a problem with the network Dell drivers?

  Please help me with this.

  Hello

  You should check the configuration of your network management. If the IP, subnet mask, gateway, DNS are correctly configured and if it it set to vmnic3, as it is the only NIC you connected.

  If everything is correct, I would check the physical switch of the server config is connected to. Maybe the port is blocked or a bad local VIRTUAL network is configured.
