file hosts on ESXi 3.5

Similar Questions

• Quick newb question: possible to 'navigate' the file on an ESXi host computer system remotely?

  As the subject says: is it possible to 'Browse' the file system to an ESXi host through a GUI tool on the server vCenter Server, instead of having to navigate this one via e.g. puTTY?

  OK... think about it. WinSCP and enabling SSH on the host computer ESxi is the key.

• To connect to a host of ESXi (free) in a vSphere 5.0 infrastructure

  
  I need to migrate virtual machines (including existing snapshots) to a stand-alone host ESXi 3.5 (free) to a member of host ESXi 5.0 5.0 vSphere infrastructure.

  VMware Converter does not work for me because it does not migrate the shots, nor can I use the sulition backup that I currently use.

  I can't use OVF for the same reason.

  A possible solution coud be temporarily add the old ESXi host vSphere 5.0 for the time needed to migrate the computer virtual infrastructure: is it possible?

  Another solution could be downloading files containing the virtual machines from the VMFS data store managed by the former host of ESXi 3.5 in a Windows folder and download for the data managed by the ESXi 5.0 host store, but I strongly suspect that it does not.

  Is there an alternative?

  Concerning

  Marius

  I think that the copy will be the way to go in this case. You can take a look at of Veeam FastSCP for this work.

  After copying the files, you should be able to add the virtual machine to inventory (right-click the file .vmx in browser data store) and turn on.

• The upgrade of the host, VMware ESXI 4.1

  Hello

  I am running a host VMware ESXi 4.1. It seems that VMware claims now this product VMware vSphere Hypervisor (am I right?). Was it a name change purely marketing, or they introduce new functions as well? Is VSphere Hypervisor a more recent version of ESXi

  Is there a tool to upgrade VMware ESXi 4.1 for newer versions (no matter if their output yet or not, just wondering about the upgrade in general)?

  Thanks in advance!

  Don't worry, it's all the same. You have the same binary files for all editions of ESXi, it is only the license key that locks or unlocks features. I think that the main reason why VMware decided to call ESXi free edition "Hypervisor" was because many people were confused that ESXi is free or not.

  There are two upgrade options ESXi. For the first, you must have a licensed version of vCenter Server, which offers the "Update Manager". The second is to use the command line utility "vihostupdate".

  In addition, you can take a look at http://www.vm-help.com/esx41/Patching_4.1_with_the_host_update_utility.php

• Issues of file system based ESXi

  Happy to RTFM, but I can't find a reference...

  When you use vifs.pl to - put a file in an ESXi 4.1 the machine, where it is going?

  I recently downloaded custom SSL cert/key and I was very confused when the instructions said to download/host/ssl_key and/host/ssl_cert when there doesn't seems to be a folder named 'host' at the root of the filesystem such as seen by a ssh login. In addition, I could not find "ssl_key" or "ssl_cert" using find:

  # find /-name ssl_key

  #

  Do "vifs.pl - set" write files to a different file in total system?

  ---

  Another thing that I find confusing is the output of "mountain". Why does mount not show mounted filesystems as data warehouses? They appear in/vmfs/volumes and/vmfs/volumes appears in the list of editing as a filesystem of type FCR, but nobody rides.

  Thank you.

  With vivid, you can access files) 1 datastore files/tmp) 2 and 3) ' host '.  The 'host' files are not all in a specific folder.  Rather the configuration file webAccessibleConfigFiles.xml dictacts what are system files are exposed alive and other tools API.  The following link shows a list of these files: http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/esx_3i_rcli/vifs.php in your case, you will notice that the command of vivos specific files you are mapped to the appropriate files in/etc/vmware/ssl /.

  Since the PC are managed by the NAC, some users had problems with the 'host' (empty folder) file.

  The agent NAC has influence any on this mechanism?
  Is it possible to reload this file?
  Thanks for your help

  Murielle,

  NAC wouldn't do anything to the file hosts on your client computers. There is something else at play here.

• Why not save a file HOST Unicode or any other format beside ANSI format? Either way, which is Unicode format?

  Why not save a file HOST Unicode or any other format beside ANSI format? Either way, which is Unicode format?

  You would normally use unicode when you want to a text file that contains those outside of the normally the ASCII value... accentuated characters and others. They are rarely used in the definition of host names.

  Should I move the virtual machines from the first RAID at one of the others? Whipe then come out the scores and perform ESXi 4.1 installation?

  Yes, it's a way to do this.

  Unfortunately, the ESXi 4.1 installation wipe the disk to complete installation (or logical volume) as you have experienced. Assuming that "logical partitions VMFS" you mentioned are logical volumes actually created in the RAID configuration (presented as individual of the operating system disks), you can migrate the virtual machine that is currently stored on data store of the installation disk to a data store on one of the other logical disks and then install ESXi.

• HELP PLEASE! I can't power off the virtual machine on host VWware ESXi

  I can not power off the virtual machine on host VWware ESXi is any other command. How can I restart?

  I need to power on the virtual machine, I did not back up!

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  in the ESXi console, run esxtop... you see the functioning of the virtual machine?

  If this isn't the case, you can restart management agents in the ESXi and you will be able to turn on the virtual machine again.

• How can I determine if the host is ESXi free or licensed?

  How can one know if an ESXi host is ESXi free, or if it is allowed?

  I searched through the crowd on a couple of different configurations and I don't see anything obvious that indicates this.  I ask because there are some features that only work on ESXi under license and would like to be able to detect the server type I'm talking about.

  I guess that there is a way to do so under the ha - Manager of licenses.

  Thank you

  Eric

  The method that I use to check for this in my scripts is to use the licenseManager watch ownership licenses and see if the license is equivalent to "esxBasic", the host is ESXi, if both these things are true, then you are using the free version of ESXi. In my view, there is another method in which the free version does not contain the full name of some kind, but I forgot what it was. If the above solution worked for me for some time and is simple to check
