Fibre Channel card configuration on the host esx 5.1
Hi all,
I have three 5.1 esxi hosts. I have new port 2 8G Fibre Channel cards installed in each and pass the cable FC since the card port goes to the fiber.
It's my first time in collaboration with CF cards VMware hosts, what else should I do for these cards to be active or updated network in? A good explanation, Docs and or video would be extremely welcomed.
Just ask EMC technology to make the zoning on the SAN switch and the LUN masking and card introduced volumes to your hosts on the side storage... after the volumes, simply go to your ESXi, rescan your HBA and create data warehouses.

How to get the host ESX DR see replicated Celerra Lun
Hi guys, Im setting up SRM with 2 x NS20 and ive got regarding the configuration of the LUN on the production storage array, Lun on the storage LUN appropriate to prod/dr esx servers present DR Bay. Ive set up replication and added the DR lun to the esx server, ensuring not to add it as he will write a signature. I've then added the production on the production ESX Server LUNs, added storage which obviously writes a signature on the drive, and with the installation of the replication, I expected to simply issue a new analysis on the DR esx host and do see the data store.
Am I missing something here? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Hello
"On DR NS ive done exactly the same thing with respect to FS, Lun, target iSCSI and presented to the host ESX DR, ive done a rescan and his picked up the lun 'Read Only', which is being replicated in but the tab of summary in VC, I see that the local VMFS file system and I was expecting to see the replicated LUN listed with the store local data or is this seen only". When SRM changes the properties of Lun during a failover? »
You will not see the Site recovery volumes listed in data warehouses, unless you do one of two things - a failover in which case the production side will be unalterable and be removed from the list of data on the Production side store while exposing the VMFS data store now read-write on the side of the recovery.
Or you use the test function in which case that encourage a wink of Celerra temporary writable and it will appear as a data store broken in the list on the side of the recovery VMFS data warehouses.
However, it seems that you do not see this result, as DR table does not seem to be configured as it should.
Can the side Production VC communicate with happiness with the Celerra recovery site - IE can launch you a session PUTTY from the Production side VC and connect to recovery side Celerra. Can the recovery side VC do the same thing for the Production side Celerra?
I guess you get the unknown peer after that MRS. not the discovery of the table that owns about 23% forever and then ends. The only other thing I can think of and am not sure about this as a solution because it is a set of actions that I did of my side of recovery when Celerra is to create a small file system and in a small iSCSI LUN on the side of the recovery of the recovery side Celerra and put it in your recovery ESX cluster side - create a file system VMFS on it and place a Virtual computer in this VMFS file system - this is to check that there are no problems with the ESX host side recovery working with the recovery side Celerra
My guess would be a thing of IP connectivity - if it's a little strange, if the link between the Production side VC and the recovery side VC has been established successfully
I'll pass on to a colleague to VMware SRM and see if he has any ideas

Hosts: DL360 G6, dual quad core, 64 GB of RAM
Discs: 3 SAS 10K rpm and 2 SSD Spidles.
I am trying to set up one of the hosts of Read Cache Flash but I get the desciptive never so much and the defenseless error message...
"Configuration on disk/vmfs/device/disks/naa. < longguid > has failed. "Reason: an error occurred during the configuration of the host.
I hope that there is a log file I can verify for a more profound description of this lame error message.
Can someone tell me where I can check on this error?
Thank you
Oh. k. so, it is the function of Read Cache (vFRC) Flash of vSphere and nothing to do with VSAN
check the diaries which is throwing this error.
ESP: /var/log/hostd.log and log/var/log/vmkernel of corresponding calendar. This will show what is happening here
You can check the following
one.
Check if SSD LUNS are not used / no other partition
# partedUtil getptbl/vmfs/devices/drives.
b.
Also check that the SSD lun on that host are local and eligible for the vflash
List of devices # esxcli storage vflash

No warehouses have been configured on the host
All of a sudden after a restart, my host says:
"No warehouses have been configured on the host.
However, there is only one hard drive in the host and uses it as the local data store. The local data store is the only store of data that was connected to this host. I'm not sure how to get the data store online since it's a local data store. Also no patches or upgrades have been appiled to this host ever. It's just a test area, so Im puzzled why it has worked one minute and not the other.
Thank you!
It seems that the drive works in IDE mode (or inheritance).
You must see it as/dev/sdX not/dev/HDX.
You can check the BIOS Setup?

How can I set up 2 physical network cards, 1 for the host and 1 for vm?
Hello
With the help of VMWare WS 7.1. I have a physical machine with 2 network as the host cards. Currently only one of the cards network is connected to the network.
It hosts a SBS 2008 Server virtualized (while we prepare permanent news of the home server). I know not to leave the virtual machine SBS see doamin on the network controllers.
I want to give a static IP address on one of the network adapters on the virtual machine and allow the host have the map of others.
Can someone give me the steps or point me to the instuctions?
Or is it better to use a NETWORK card? The virtual machine is currently using a NIC a nic virtualized in bridged mode.
Thank you!
1. disable automatic bypass on VMnet0 in network virtual and configured Editor to use the map NETWORK active on the host.
2. in the Virtual Machine settings > set it to network adapter connected by a bridge.
3. in the guest operating system, configure the IP address as you would on a physical computer. Take a look at: Managing Your Windows Small Business Server 2008 Network
It's as simple as that.

What is happening in vCenter, correct? I had this happen in beta. Connect to your ESXi host and then 'add a storage '.

Run the host ESX 4.1 in vCenter 5.0
Hello everyone, I have a simple question. I am running 4.1 U1 ESX hosts and vCenter 4.1. I need to upgrade to ESX 4.1 U2. I know I need to improve my vCenter to match my version of ESX host, but I thought I killed a stone 2 strokes. I have the license for vCenter and ESX 5.0 but I'm programmed to upgrade next year. Given that I have to upgrade my vCenter anyway can I go to version 5.0 and run my ESX host on v 4.1 U1 without any loss of functionality?
I would like to upgrade everything at once, but the company needs me to complete the test first upgrade of the host is not an option at this time.
Thanks for your help with this.
Hello
You shouldn't lose any features with what you described. Remember however that in one year, you will still need to patch vCenter to upgrade to the latest version 5.x.
Thank you

The IP of the host ESX and ESXi console information
Hi guys,.
I have a little problem here, we have a script that collects the host Console IP, host name, field info... etc.
My problem is with the period of INVESTIGATION, because we have a mixed environment of esx3.5, esx4.0, esx4.1 and ESXi4 get the IP of the Console is a bit of a problem.
If I use the
$NicInfo = get-VMHostNetwork - VMHost $esxhost. Name
$newesxhost. VmHostName = $NicInfo.HostName
$newesxhost. Domain = $NicInfo.DomainName
{foreach ($cs in $NicInfo.ConsoleNic)}
$newesxhost. IPAddress = [string] $cs. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
}I covers the ESX Console hosts IP info, but all the info of ESXi IP gets missed.
If I add to the:
$NicInfo = get-VMHostNetwork - VMHost $esxhost. Name
$newesxhost. VmHostName = $NicInfo.HostName
$newesxhost. Domain = $NicInfo.DomainName
foreach ($cs in $NicInfo. ) VirtualNic | where {$_.name - eq "vmk0"}){}
$newesxhost. IPAddress = [string] $cs. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
}I get the ESXi IP Management IP network, but the ESX hosts to report the vmk0 which is the IP address of vmotion.
So if anyone can help I'd be very happy.
Include the HOST party so that you can see what I mean:

Why you do not include a test that check if the host's ESX or ESXi?
Something like that

Migrate the host ESX to vSphere 4.0 Server 4.1
Hi all
I have 2 vSphere environments. A server vSphere 4.0, and 3 ESX 4.0 host. Another with vSphere 4.1 server with 3 hosts ESXi 4.1. I want to migrate ESX 4.0 mailboxes to the new server for vSphere 4.1. Assuming that I have licenses installed locally on the boxes, and I squared away vSphere licensing, what would be the best way to migrate the host?
I would simply ' right click-> delete ', then 'right click-> add a host' on the Server 4.1?
Thanks in advance.
the best way to do so is in vCenter 1, right-click and disconnect the host and then delete host. In vCenter2, "add host". This will move the hosts and their guests to the new instance without interruption.

NAT network between the host ESX with DVS
Hello.
In my test of vSphere 4, I have two ESX hosts. I want to share an IP address between all the virtual machines on these two ESX hosts. In this regard, I have a virtual machine that acts as a NAT router. This virtual machine has two network that is connected to each their own vNetwork Distributed Switch connection. We have a physical NIC (on each ESX host) which has the Internet connection. The other has no physical network connection.
To test if it works I created a VM test on both ESX hosts. The system works on the virtual machine that is on the same ESX host as the virtual machine that acts as a NAT router is located, but not the virtual machine on the other ESX host. The other VM have no contact with the router and receives no DHCP data.
Any suggestions? I know I did something wrong because DVS is new to me, but I really want this to work.
Hello
That ends up being a vNetwork design more than anything even with vDS. For example, if you have a NAT that works for all your hosts you would then have a NAT virtual appliance such as:
PSwitch external network <->Teddy <->vSwitch <->vPG <->NAT VM <->vPG <->vSwitch <->Teddy <->network internal pSwitch
Now the vSwitches in the above can be traditional vSwitches or vDS' the key is that the "seconds" vSwitch must be connected on the same vSwitch on all other hosts, so it has an uplink to a physical switch that is also connected to all other hosts. vDS does NOT lighten your vNetwork is the need of cable to allow the communication of the VM.
The VM NAT can move from host to host as long as there is communication to this virtual machine on each host on each network in this case, the external network and internal.
