• To access the ESXi 6 via the webclient service

  Greetings,

  I'm sorry if I'm just cutting on it, but maybe it's an easy question to answer.

  I'm in a very locked down environment and I can not access vSphere windows client (client installation is not allowed on my windows desktop).

  I have 5 hosts ESXi 6.0 and I need to deploy vSphere 6 on top of these hosts.  My plan was to go directly to one of the hosts and install vCenter on a virtual machine on that host.

  From this point, I would be able to connect to vCenter and build the rest of the environment.

  As I don't have access to the Windows client, I have to use the web client to interact with the environment (I would need to connect the host to the first and build vCenter), but given that I have not vCenter or the webclient service installed yet, I see not a way to actually enter the ESXi host using the webclient service.  I know with 5.5, was the order for the installation:

  1.) SSO

  2 web client).

  3. inventory service)

  4.) vCenter Server

  But what I would do here with version 6?  Can I run the installer of vCenter and install the web client on my desktop and then use it to access the host to create the environment?

  It seems that the windows client really is a must if you want to connect to a host (if you don't have the webclient service installed).  Is this fair?

  There is no webclient for administrering a stand-alone ESXi host, only the Windows client.

  However the vCenter device built in deployment tool to deploy a vcenter device you don't need customer C sharp, but you must be able to install the plugin for integration of customer.

  If you need a Windows vCenter server you need to deploy the fashion old way

• How to upgrade an ESXi host from the command line

  Sorry for bumping an old thread. I'm new to ESXi. I'm under ESXi 5.5 build 1331820 and I am at a loss how to apply patches.

  Preferably, I would like to apply all the relevant patches through console (SSH). Can someone give me pointers how to do this? Thank you

  Moderator note (a.p.): branched to a new discussion of software patch to version 1331820?

  Welcome to the community,

  on how to patch a ESXi host from the command line, please see for example http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2008939

  Basically download you the latest hotfix package and install it using the command esxcli . That said, please make sure that your hardware is supported by the patch that you want to apply (see http://www.vmware.com/go/hcl). You can also do before installing the patch, is to do a "dry - run" to know what . VIBS are removed and which are installed by the patch. To do this add -dry - run to the esxcli command line.

  In the case where something goes wrong, you can revert to the previous state by pressing SHIFT-R , while the ESXi hosts begins the start-up.

• ESXi 5.5 / the will of StarWind disk number

  A ESXi connected to StarWind v6 via iSCSI MPIO.

  Upgrade to v8 Starwind.  Update went well spent... all the existing disks/objectives remained and ESXi host was all mounted volumes.

  At the same time to upgrade, I wanted to change the RAM cache in Starwind for each of my virtual devices.  Unfortunately Starwind have has this built in existing devices. I found reference to edit the .swdsk file to set the cache.  However my upgraded Starwind did not use this virtual disk format.

  Then... I deleted an existing virtual device without deleting the associated image file.  Re-created Starwind device/virtual disk.  Joined an existing image file.  Re-connected to ESXi iSCSI.  I first tested on a small LUN first.  Everything seemed fine.  So I did it for all my devices StarWind.  Then following problems restart ESXi.

  No mounted volume.  Determined through playing that ESXi has been seeing them as snapshots.  If I rode without re-signing volume disappeared again on restart.

  So I went through the process via SSH

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1011387

  esxcfg-volume -l

  esxcfg-volume -r VMFS_UUID|label

  


  Completely removed all existing references to "old" volume names

  Renamed all the Volumes mounted in the snap-* my original name

  Re-recorded all the machines.

  Finally the volumes mounted after restart ESXi.


  This was a lot of unnecessary work that I do not want to repeat and want to know more about why it happened.  It is perhaps a matter for the people of StarWind...

  What exactly has changed with the "volume" of ESXi clearly I generated a new Starwind device but to an existing image file.  The real VMFS volume inside this image file has not changed at all.  What is happening at the level of the iSCSI that this was seen as different to ESXi?

  


  Thank you.

  Hello

  When ESXi connects to the iSCSI READ it identifies using several signs

  1 size

  2. the seller ID

  3. product ID

  4 UUID

  5. ID series

  If the foregoing does not match the original device, you will get a situation as you describe in the original post.

  I think it happened when you were adding the StarWind LU to the management console.

  You have selected the img file and StarWind first threw a warning, saying that it is an existing device. If you chose to use the img file anyway, resigned StarWind device by generating a new UUID and Serial code.

  In the future, please use the swdsk header when adding previously created devices preventing the UUID and change of serial ID.

• nested ESXi vHost, networking, the nested virtual machines cannot access outside the world.

  If someone can help me with a powercli script to create a new account a local administrator on all ESX and ESXi hosts in the vcenter, create a role called admin and give all access except the root. This shoulb be past by a virtual centre.

  Very much appreciated to help him.

  I suspect that you posted your question to the wrong thread

  This requires only a minor change to the script above actually.

  Something like that

  $groupName = "group"$accountName = "user"$accountPswd = "password"$accountDescription = "A user"
  
  $esxlist = Get-VMHostforeach($esx in $esxlist){    Connect-VIServer -Server $esx -User root -Password "password"
  
      Try {      Get-VMHostAccount -Id $groupName -Group -ErrorAction Stop | Out-Null    }    Catch {      New-VMHostAccount -Id $groupName -GroupAccount | Out-Null    }

  some Councils just don't boot from GPT disks

  1. install the 4.1 and 5 upgrade - then you will get a system that start of MBR

  2 use 'formatwithmbr' switch during installation - which also creates a system that uses MBR disks

• HOWTO join ESXi 5 to the AD domain using PowerCLI

  I couldn't add 5 ESXi hosts to the AD domain using PowerCli 5.

  I tried to use LucD note, but it does not work probably because it only supports ESXi 4.1

• File deleted on esxi system after the restart with the last patch (256968)

  Hello

  Since I installed latest patch on esxi (build 256968), every time that I reboot server esxi, I lost the files in / opt and the .ssh folder.

  Before this patch, the files were still there on reboot.

  Do you have any idea what's going on? Is this a new limitation of free esxi?

  I ' am, using this file to VM backup with ghettovcb and everything works fine (until I reload )

  Thank you.

  This is provided with ESXi, there is difficulty set of files, including any of the local VMFS volumes that are kept at the restart. There is a cronjob schedule that works for the configuration files important backup automatically at a local bootbank, which is then loaded after the next reboot, all files created by the user and most likely using the Busybox does not support console will not survive a restart by default.

  If you use the ghettoVCB.sh - Free alternative for backup of VMS to ESX (i) 3.5, 4.x & 5.x , recommendation would be to store the script and all relevant files is the local VMFS volume or on the shared storage (NFS, iSCSI/FC SAN) volume.

  There is a script in "/sbin/auto-backup.sh" that you can actually run to see what files are being backed up, you can easily modify this script to save additional files which will ensure that they are saved on a restart.

• ESXi directly on the internet?

  All,

  First off I understand the need for firewalls and what not. There is a business need for it.

  Does anyone put ESXi directly on the internet? What kind of exploits have been seen? When I say put live on the net, I also talk about management. Ive expressed my displeasure with that idea but I've been invited to explore more.

  Thank you!

  Virtual NETWORK adapter on the public network is ok, if it's on different vSwitch management.

• ESXi connection to the Windows SFU NFS data store

  We plan to install 3 servers ESXi with virtual machines hosted on local.  A backup script align the images and move the *.vmx and *.vmdk to a NFS data store located in separate facilities which are connected via fiber.  All connections are links of 1 G.  The NFS data store will be hosted on w2k3 with SFU (Microsoft Services for Unix).

  The NFS data store will be a target for cloning and will be located in a building separated for "geographical separation."  I tested with Veema FastSCP (the public beta)... it's ok (30Mbytes/sec).  I assume that the clone process will take about 5 hours - but we can tolerate the performance hit after opening hours.

  Question:  Is there a "traps" to know by linking each ESXi server in the same directory NFS exported using SFU?  Perhaps more to the point... no problem with ESXi and Windows SFU?

  Before anyone asks... we do this on a 'super-thin budget' (that is to say... $ 0) using existing hardware, otherwise I would have ESX Enterprise and SAN storage!

  Some discussions to look at on the performance.

• The Inspiron 620 Spec issues

  Had some questions about my Inspiron 620.

  Brand and model of the Mobo?

  Level watt PUS?

  Can I replace the motherboard with a 3rd party, in the same turn?

  Recommendations to replace the power supply, RAM, processor and video?

  I have the 2320 i5, 8 GB of Ram and AMD 6450.

  Brand and model of the Mobo?

  Inspiron 620 owner Dell Board.

  Level watt PUS?

  300W

  Can I replace the motherboard with a 3rd party, in the same turn?

  The Council is a standard size but the front panel wiring is owner.  You will need to do a bit on the rewiring of fly or to replace the case.  Also note that stock heatsink from Dell that it does not fit in a spare parts advice - you will need a new if you change the jury.

  Another advantage: If you are replacing the card, you have more a Dell system, which means not activate Windows.   Budget for a copy in the Windows retail if you change the motherboard - you effectively build a new system.  Microsoft won't activate copies of Windows OEM on the boards of spare parts.

  Recommendations to replace the power supply, RAM, processor and video?

  I have the 2320 i5, 8 GB of Ram and AMD 6450.

  Essentially, you can build a whole new system - if you take this route, reuse, keyboard, mouse, monitor and drives – everything (case, power supply, heater, fans and everything you want to update - is replaced).

• Questions about upgrading the video card in the Inspiron 620

  Hey guys... I want to add a discrete graphics card to my new Dell Inspiron 620.  My power supply is rated at 300w.  Are there maps decent graphics that I could use that would be compatible with the 300w PSU?  Also, if I upgrade my diet as well, which could result in the cancellation of the guarantee I have on my new Dell?  Thanks in advance!

  Much here on the forums have used the HD 5670 on their units of 300 watt with no problems.

  By the table below, you can see that the HD 5670 is only set to 190 watts in charge for the entire system.   I think that the video card will do only about 50-60 watts in game situations and where the only game not only around 20 watts.

  

• relocation of esxi start from the san LUN

  I have 1 SG by ESXi host and its start-up dedicated to san lun and other LUN datatore. IF I had to reinstall the host esxi via kickstart, do I need to unmask the LUNS of the SG data store before installing?

  I used to do if Imaging is automated. If I do this since an ISO just be careful. That's what I do.
