• Protect both virtual machines with features of ESXI fault tolerant clustered disk

  Hello world

  I read the following:

  VMware vSphere with operations management: fault tolerance | United States

  The line that interests me is:

  "VMware vSphere® fault tolerance (FT) ensures the continued availability of the applications in the event of server failure by creating an instance of live snapshots of a virtual machine that is always up to date with the first virtual machine. In the event of hardware failure, vSphere FT triggers automatically failover - ensure no interruption of service and prevent data loss. »

  Question:

  FT can protect both virtual machines that share disks in a cluster configuration? (A cluster SQL instance for example)

  FT can protect both virtual machines that share disks in a cluster configuration? (A cluster SQL instance for example)

  No, you can't, because there is an incompatibility with FT.

  Refer to the documentation for all requirements and interoperability: interoperability of fault tolerance

• OpenManage for VMWare ESXi has no possibility of tasks of virtual disk

  OMSA v 7.1 and 7.2 for Windows (and earlier versions) allow the user to perform many tasks on virtual disks, including reconfiguring - expand a RAID array with a new drive.

  This is not true for managing open for VMWare ESXi - although you can monitor the status of the RAID and disks with the browser of the OMSA interface type, you cannot perform tasks - can not even make a high beam Flash.

  It is a huge problem, because the PERC controllers (H700 and H800, for example) don't allow you to develop virtual using hard drives not Dell disks when you try this during startup in the bios.  (These controllers only allows you to create new virtual disks using drives not Dell).

  This test was conducted using the latest firmware (12.10.4 - 0001 A10) and drivers for the H700 and H800 and multi-server r610 ESXi 5.1.

  Other people with VMWare have been affected by the present?  The only solution is to have two player networks connected to the computer, and create a simple Windows with OMSA, boot in Windows Server to expand the table using OMSA for Windows.

  I would be interested in the comments of others, including those of Dell.  We spent hours on the phone with Dell; This seems to be the only solution.  (Yes, Dell released a firmware version last year that has ceased blocking non Dell readers, but it only works for the creation of a new virtual disk, do not expanding one existing).

  Yes.  It came through a discussion in the Dell | Servers | Discussion of the RAID community.

  en.Community.Dell.com/.../20263442.aspx

  There is a CD bootable linux called OMSA Live that you download from PowerEdge (linux OS) systems management.

  This OMSA PERC H700 and H800 control and allows you to do everything.  When you reconfigure the RAID and the PERC card starts the reconstruction, although it seems risky, you can restart under VMware and the reconstruction of the RAID continues on.  And you can analyze with OMSA for VMware.

• Driver RAID for Vmware ESXi 5.1 on Dell R420.

  My project is to install Vmware ESXi 5.1 on a Dell R420 with Raid1 configuration. The question I have after configuring raid1 in raid utility is created using the, I launch the installation of Vmware ESXi 5.1. What is ESXi 5.1 sees not the raid1 partition but rather see two disks as are they worn can't in raid1 configurations.

  I need to have this in raid1 config, can any who share an idea about my problem please or point me in the right direction.

  I did some research but nothing seems to help resolve this issue.

  Thank you

  Sheriff.

  Sorry for my previous response:

  DELL-Daniel My - when I boot in the BIOS of the controller, I see the raid in a raid1 configuration.

  Mgr dev you are right, I did research more when you all answered. I see the PERC S110 pilot was a software raid controller and thus the vmware esxi wouldn't work in a raid configuration 1 (software raid).

  Thank you guys for you answer and who helped me

  You can find all downloads for VMwre to https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/downloads. What you might want to look for are the links "Download trial" to "VMware Workstation" and "VMware vSphere. BTW. is there a reason you ask for older versions?

  For Windows Server, see download Windows Server 2008 R2 Evaluation (180 days) from the official Microsoft Download Center

  André

  PS: In the past VMware has provided a free license of VMware Workstation after you have completed the requirements to become a VCP - DCV (i.e. necessary training, more exam). I'm sure they'll continue to do that.

• Snapshots for virtual machines fault-tolerant

  VSphere availability guide says that you can not fault tolerant VMs snapshot. Otherwise, how would a backup virtual machines?

  If you need to snap for backup, you can stop FT, do the blink of an eye, make the backup, delete the snap and reactivate FT.

  You cannot schedule directly (in the special section), but there are useful scripts that can toggle pi of CLI.

• Hyper-v 2008 R2 for Vmware ESXI 5.5 problem

  Hello world

  We are migrating to Vmware ESXI with HP 3PAR storage we have some important servers as vms on Microsoft Hyperv 2008 R2, I downloaded and installed the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client on the host Microsoft hyper-v connected to the localmachine as administrator and also to define the credentials of esxi distance everything works fine until it blocks 33% retried the process several times but without success , I collected the log, if I understand correctly this is something related to timeout or something maybe someone clears me on the issue, thanks a lot

  also a question should I try to install the stand-alone converter on each virtual machine, hyper v or should I install on the computer host and make the conversion?

  is it possible to make the conversion without turning off the virtual machines?

  Thanks in advance

  You do not need to install the converter on each machine, only the converter agent, which is installed automatically when it is not found on the destination computer.

• CSR 1000v for Vmware Esxi, cannot ping / output

  Hello

  I just installed file eggs a 1000V CSR in my personal laboratory in an ESXi.

  I followed this link:

  http://www.fryguy.NET/2013/12/27/Cisco-csr1000v-for-Home-Labs/

  I have a 1 Giga interface in the vlan by default with the VMXNET3 adapter type as suggested.

  Whenever I turn on the CSR I have configure the interface and I unshut it. Negotiation is automatic (I tried to link hard but without success).

  Problem is that since my pc I can not ping the CSR giga1 interface and vice versa. But on both sides, I see the arp of the interface.

  I tried to change the type of adapter on vmware (VMXNET2 or E1000) but without any help...

  If I turn on a debian or Windows VM on the same network card on the same vlan I can ping or reach it.

  I tried to debug the ip packets, but nothing shows up some questions.

  Config is a default one... there no ACL, not security features, nothing... just an ip address on the giga1 and the no command closed.

  What is there?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Can say you that it was really the problem.

  I have ESXi 5.5.0 3116895 and I installed CRS1000V 3.17 and it works perfectly

  Good bye

• Reference Dell Custom Image for Vmware ESXi 5.1

  Hello

  where can I find the custom image Dell for ESXi 5.1.

  I can only find the ISO Images for 5.0 (4.1). But none for 5.1. Unfortunately the original ISO Vmware image will not work because it does not find a NETWORK card in my Dell R420. Which seems to occur as long as the original image from Vmware does not include the card driver NETWORK Dell to the R420.

  I saw that today there is a download section at support.Dell.com for ESXi 5.1 with about 36 files to download. But no ISO Image for ESXi 5.1 as it is 5.0 and before.

  Hope someone can help or knows how Dell will bring the custom image.

  Thank you!

  Here is the link to the ISO image of the ESXi 5.1 custom newly released Dell. Sorry for the delay to everyone - out www.dell.com/.../poweredge-r620

• Support for VMware ESXi 5 MPLS

  I'm curious to know if the virtual switch can provide that some MPLS support so that can be unloaded from the VM? At present the virtual switch looks like a switch single layer2. Is it possible to get more features in Vsphere Enterprise?

  He basis of VMware, but not rack mounting.  It works just like a virtual machine on each ESXi host.

  You need to ask cisco for the licensing costs.

• How to compare premises, iSCSI and storage NFS for VMware ESXi 5 with IO Analyzer?

  Hello

  I have 2 hosts ESXi 5.0 with a few virtual machines running. I would compare the IO throughput for my local storage, iSCSI and NFS vmware storage store. Can someone point me to the right direction? I read the documents and tutorials, but I'm not sure how to compare tests from these 3 options.

  I have a need to compare the following storage options.

  Local disk on the ESX host

  iSCSI on QNAP NAS device

  iSCSI on EMC e 3100

  NFS on QNAP NAS device

  NFS on EMC e 3100

  IOmeter seems to be good tool based on reading, but still not clear where to make changes to pass tests of storage to another.

  Thanks in advance,

  Sam

  If you use IO monitor, then you must simply vmotion the VMS to the data store for the device you want to test, and then run the test (and Records results).  Can vmotion for the following data store and repeat.

• SAN multisite and VMware Fault Tolerance

  Hello

  My apologies if this is in the wrong section.

  I have a requirement for the two main rooms, with SAN and ESX hosts in each room.

  In total I have, for the sake of arguments, 200 VMS, with a split 50-50, so 100 in each room Basic.

  I want to use VMware of fault tolerance for machines remain operational in the event of a major failure or the other room Basic.

  I think I can use Multisite SAN to do.

  Please see attached diagram fo what I want to do, I know that the diagram is not correct but I drew it fast just to try to explain the scenario.

  What I want to know (or have help on) is:

  Is it possible to use fault tolerance in this way have no downtime in the result of a failure of basic room? (basic rooms are not very remote and use the same networks)

  How does multi-site SAN work, are there articles I can read to help me understand this?

  Multisite perhaps SAN iSCSI or fibrechannel?

  Thank you.

  SAN should resemble a single San for all ESXes. It doesn't matter how you do it.

  > If I my synchronous SAN mirror, might simply use FT for the vcenter as well?

  It is possible for the small environment. In general, vCenter requires 2 vCPU, while FT works for uniprocessor VMs only. But do not overestimate FT, it is not a universal solution and the universal answer.

  > Also with FT, can you specify the server host in the cluster to act as the secondary?

  Directly - no. The only way - to create link VM to any resource that is available for 2 ESXes only.
