• How to find the latest version of material available for a virtual computer

  Hi, I have a problem to upgrade the hardware of the VMS version.

  My $vm = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type = > 'VirtualMachine', filter = > {'name' = > $vm_name});

  $vm-> UpgradeVM();

  Call to the UpgradeVM method I sometimes get an error saying: compatibility of the virtual machine is already up to date

  I can get the latest version of hardware verification $vm - > config-> version, but I don't know whether it is the latest version of material available. How can I find out who is the latest material available for a virtual machine before you upgrade?

  Thanks in advance.

• ESXi with material not in HCL

  Hello

  I'm new here and this is my first post.

  I have a question about ESXi running on hardware that is not specified explicitly in the HCL.

  We are about to buy a mobile system:

  There is a shuttle (SG45H7)

  Chipset: Intel G45 Express + ICH10

  Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 S775 (4x2.66 GHz)

  RAM: 4 x 4 GB DDR2 FB800

  HARD drive: 2 x WD 1.0 TB

  I do not have event find Intel Core 2 Quad in the compatibility list, but I have found a few discussions where people have written, they run ESXi on these processors.

  Is there a problem with the material above or should it just work properly?

  Thank you very much for your answers!

  Bye,.

  Fritz

  I managed to install VMware ESX 4.0.0 Build 164009 on a Shuttle SG45H7.

  My Shuttle SG45H7 is configured with a Xeon 3350 (@2. 66 Ghz), 8 GB (4x2Go Kingston) and a map PCIexpress of SuperMicro AOC-SG-i4 4xGigabit (4 x Intel 82576). SATA is configured as AHCI.

  I installed VMware ESX 4.0.0 using the text Installer.

  FYI: I have not tried the SG45H7 shuttle with sticks of memory, 4x4GB, and some people report problems with 16 GB on the forum of the American shuttle.

• ESXi monitoring material 5

  Hello

  I would like to watch my 5 ESXi hardware. That's why I need to get information through WBEM as SNMP is no longer supported.

  How what can be done with vFoglight (6,6)?

  I did some research on google and watched through the discussions on this community and was not able to find something useful.

  Thank you

  Daniel

  I've been plugging away on it these last time and made progress on the IPMI/CIM data.  I would really like to remove vcenter directly, but their API turns out be quite a pain in the way that they meet each provider.  In the end, I'll probably write a custom agent who gets what I need directly from each host periodically from each host directly.  In the end, I think whether or not it will work better since I can then use it to any host running VMware.

• Is there any material available to download documents on diskette?

  Years ago (25 +) that I wrote the outline for a book, and I recorded it on a diskette.  I recently found again.   I don't know if there's someone old enough to remember 'disks', but I would really try to access once what would be my thesis.  It is not readable in a box in the attic for years.  But still, I would try... Thank you!

  If it is a 3.5 "floppy drive, there are a number of USB floppy drives connected.  See your favorite online retailer.  An example:

• Compatible version of ESXi for PowerEdge 860?

  Are you looking for my current configuration of the virtual machine to a re-usable, configuration of the VM and I try to be on the latest version of ESXi who will consider my PE 860, and if there is anything in particular, I have to do to make it work.

  I found the custom Dell ESXi files but I don't know if I should use these versions or just stick with a version of VMware.

  Thank you.

  ETA: PE 860 to the 1 x 2.4 GHz Xeon Dual Core and I'm only under a single SATA HDD inside SATA_0, can add another in a clean future.

  Hello johnnydotexe

  We have not validated the 860 for any version of VMware. I just searched and found messages from customers installing up to ESXi 5.0. There is not much difference between 5.0 and 5.5 latest about hardware compatibility, so I don't see a reason why you cannot install 5.5.

  I suggest using our ISO custom. Even if we do not support VMware on the 860 many pilots are used across multiple products, so there may be drivers for the 860 material available on our drive.

  Since this is not a validated configuration I suggest you be aware, there will likely be some quirks, and it is not recommended to run configurations not supported in a production environment.

  Thank you

• Can I install a vCenter license-free in my lab ESXi?

  Can I install a vCenter license-free in my lab ESXi?

  I have material available since I migrated to our company SAN ESXi and want to create a laboratory. I have a few questions:

  (1) can I install a vCenter license-free in my lab ESXi or am I can only use vSphere to connect to my ESXi 2 lab hosts?

  (2) create a cluster environment even if I use the free ESXi version to mimic my ESXi connected to a San company Production?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Yes, you can install vCenter license-free, since it will take place for the 60-day trial. I free ESXI host cannot be managed by vCenter, if it will not mimic your production http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1018275 plant

• Installation of operating system 64-bit on ESXi in lab environment

  I have an AMD Phenom II X processor 4 965 3.40 GHz on my pc with 8 GB of RAM. I installed vmware workstation 8 on it. I want to create a vmware view lab environment. I installed ESXi 5 on my vmware workstation and tried to install windows server 2008 R2 64-bit on it but every time I tried I faced with an error message saying that the 64-bit operating system is not possible. I neet to install windows server 2008 R2 64-bit for the transfer running server and you know this server must be a virtual thing and should be managed by vcenter server.

  According to the newspaper, the choice of 'Virtualiser VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/IVR' should not be available in the settings of the virtual machine to the virtual machine.  Note that this box is different from the drop-down list "preferred method".

  Virtualized EPT-x/VT or AMD-V/IVR is a new feature introduced with Workstation 8.0 and requires the latest virtual material.  First of all, upgrade your VM ESXi virtual material by going to VM-> manage-> change hardware compatibility and select compatibility with "Workstation 8.0."  Then, change the settings of the virtual machine, click the processors tab and check the box 'Virtualiser VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/IVR.'

• USB HDD on esxi comments

  Hello

  I think about using ESXi however I wondered if I would be able to plug a USB key into the ESXi host material and do appear in a guest virtual computer? just as it would if I connected it to my PC

  Thank you

  USB virtualization is not yet available in ESX/ESXi 3.x or 4.0.

  Maybe in the future releases.

• Specialization on a new server ESXi 5

  I want to set up a new server ESXI 5.x for a customer and would like to clarify certain points, if you will allow me.

  1 ESXI 5.x supports up to 32 GB of RAM, correct?

  2. If I have a server with a processor image, I, from point of view of the ESXI, four CPU available is to allocate to the virtual methods, correct? And two quad-cores I'd have 8 CPU is to allocate to virtual methods?

  With ESXI 4.1 I found work two logics CPU very well support a CPU heavily used on a new HP Server as long as my other virtual methods are virtual demand as storage of data or Symantec Antivirus servers servers, etc..

  3. I asked earlier but it's not kosher to overallocate computer CPU? If I have a Quad Core processor and assign 8 Virtual CPU I overuse. Is it always a bad thing with 5.x?

  Thank you very much for the friendly help continues I go out here.

  The backup, you can certainly manually save or use in comments like Windows backup backup. I just wanted to talk because many people don't think that.

  Regarding commissioning, it depends on the workload as I've mentioned before and also depends on how to configure the virtual machines. If you have a 4 core CPU and configure the virtual machines with 4 vCPUs you may soon face questions. However, if you configure the VM with 1 vCPU (or maybe two for individual virtual machines), it would be possible to run 10 virtual machines or more without problems. Everything that you, remember that the host must also some resources.

• Upgrade on esxi embedded 4.0 to 4.1 using dvd?

  Esxi embedded running off usb key update using dvd?

  I ask because my integrated existing esxi is fucked after I tried to upgrade using AUVs. AUVs process has failed with an error, but after a reboot, the client vsphere Summary tab shows it has been updated (IE to 4.1), but continuous AUVs to draw the attention of this upgrade is missing. I checked using the command line upgrade bundles are indeed missing. I post another thread with more details, after that I'm going through them. In the meantime, can I pass by jumping into a dvd to reinstall esxi embedded on the USB?

  Hello

  There isn't really a difference between esxi embedded and esxi installable. ESXi embedded is installable just esxi installed on a card usb or sd instead of on the hard drive. By this logic, the answer to my question would be: Yes, it can be done.

  Fix

  Just to add that some on-board ship ESXi from suppliers, which add their specific beams/drivers.

  So if you want to reinstall, try to use the specific provider ESXi ISO if available, otherwise use VMware ESXi ISO and install specific bundles of the seller after if necessary.

  The other option is just for the manual installation of the patches/Bundles on your current installation and VUM will pick them up.

  Please allow points to useful/correct answers

• Question about ESX ESXi (for Cist_o ACS 5.2) vs

  Hello world

  Thanks again for your help in advance. I don't know if I can cite another company name in VMWare here so I use "_".

  Currently we want to install Cist_o ACS 5.2, who need ESX3.5 or 4.0. I would like to ask... do you think if I use ESXi instead? Or I have to use directly at ESX (not i)?

  Also, I try to buy a Del_ server... for this purpose, and I can not want to install several Windows 2003/2008 for the application, the domain controller, print servers. What type of processor and RAM would you recommend (for a performance so so)?

  Finally, what is the difference between license and without license for ESX and ESXi respectively?

  Thank you very much for your help.

  Takami Chiro

  You can talk about Cisco

  You can not just replace with ESX ESXi - they are built on a different Foundation for the service console, which would probably not ACS funciton properly.  Contact cisco for the future on it, as all future versions of ESX (including the v5, the current version) are the 'i' version only.

  For the dell, its 100% depedent workload server.  If you have only a few users (less to, say 50), more a base quadcore with ~ 12 GB of RAM should be sufficient.

  ESXi is only available with a free license.  Here is the FAQ on the differences:

• VMware in ProLiant MicroServer Gen8

  Hello

  I just want to know if I can install any Vmware Esxi on this server http://www8.hp.com/es/es/products/proliant-servers/product-detail.html?oid=5379860#! tab features =

  I was looking in the VMware compatibility guide and didn't find it.

  In any case, is there any Posibility to run any version of esxi vmware on this machine?

  Thank you

  Kind regards

  Matias

  Yes. I can see everywhere the internet is flooded with info it works with vmware.

  And like its Gen8 so I should say vmware is normally supported by him.

  Here are some links that you ensure that it will work.

  http://Seiler.it/VMware-ESXi-5-5-installation-HP-ProLiant-MicroServer-gen8/

  HP integrates the enterprise features the new Gen8 MicroServer

  It will support up to the latest version as you can see that all custom esxi image is available for this type of material. so no question you can go forward with the same model.

• Client Server application performance impact due to the strong issue of retransmission of TCP packets

  People,

  I'm having problem of performance of serious application with my vSphere environment where I deployed a couple of database SQL Server stand-alone VMs (4 x VM) to be used by some applications virtual computers servers (4 x stand alone VMs) running Oracle Forms (Java) servers. Users connect from their own workstation to various geographic locations in Asia, the data center is in Australia.

  User (150 users of workstations Win7) - RDP-TCP/3389-> Terminal Server VM pool (one of the 45 x VM available) -Oracle Forms app TCP/80-> Application Server HTTP -SQL Server TCP/1433-> SQL Server VM.

  Somehow, report of the team of the network there are some consistent event TCP retransmit the packet between the Application Server to the database, as well as between Terminal servers.

  the accident occurred in any type of scenario same ESXi host or even different ESXi

  Material:

  HP BL 465c G7/G8 blades on c7000 enclosure

  HP Virtual Connect modules

  Software:

  vSphere U1 5.1 for all blades HP running ESXi and VCenter server.

  All terminal Servers Server (RDSH) and the OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 STD.

  Database: SQL Server 2005 and 2008 R2

  What could cause the TCP retransmission on the virtual environment?

  wreedMH, what kind of problem you encounter on your server environment blade HP?

  What I did:

  1 perform the update firmware on blade HP, ANC and also updated the drivers of ESXi for last October 2015 using HP SPP.

  2. upgrade to the last update of VMware ESXi 5.1 3 b build number 2323236.

  3. switch to level the latest VMware tools v10.0.5 after having done both above.

  4. follow VMware KB: big packet loss at the OS level invited on the VMXNET3 vNIC in ESXi small buffers Rx = 8192 and Rx ring #1 size = 4096

  
  

  Hope that helps.
