• VSphere from VMware vCenter Server Web Access from the Internet

  I tested VMware vSphere (ESX 4) and tried to connect to the internet for the Web Admin Access VM only.  I can connect the vCenter Server (on Windows) http Web Access features and manage the configuration of all virtual machines. But when I try to connect to an actual vm via MKS, I get an error MKS as ' unable to connect to the MKS: unable to connect to the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:902 server.»  The xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the ESX Server HOST and not the Server vCenter (which administers the host).   I have ports 80, 443, 902 and 903, on the firewall, open to point to the server vCenter Server.  When I'm on the LAN, I can do everything without a problem. Its only when I try to connect directly from the internet through our firewall I get the above error.

  Someone at - it suggestions?

  Andrej770,

  vCenter Server transfers you to the ESX host hosting the virtual machine, and the remote console runs on port 902.

  You want to go directly to the ESX host on port 902 through the firewall to connect to the Virtual Machine console.

  You want to see the pages "Guide de Configuration ESX" 146 for more information.

• Can we use use DELL R610 / R710 for execution of the ESX host?

  We will purchase a new server to run ESX 3.5 or vSphere.  We have new DELL servers.

  We considered R610 and R710, but we see that there are only 2 PCIe slots.  As one of them be given for an image ADDITIONAL NIC card, there is only one location for HBA.   It is advisable to use a Dual Channel QLogic QLE2462 HBA.

  However, it seems that the Dual Channel HBA will be a single point of failure - if it is connected to 2 different switches FC.  We would love to hear if anyone uses these DELL servers to run the ESX host.

  Thank you

  Good question, I would have preferred two HBA cards. If storage fails everything disappeared. If network failure you will not have access to the outside, but the chances of data corruption is smaller.

• Power on the ESX host

  I had to reboot an ESX host, so I moved the virtual machines out of it. Put in maintenance mode and click on restart. However, after you restart the host went offline and changed his status does not. I was quite puzzled and checked the papers and of course I got [not restarted] stop the ESX host.

  My question is, do I I turn back on the ESX host remotely? Because I don't have access to the physical box itself.

  You have access to the DRAC or equivalent of IBM or the ILO. Otherwise, if the host is really turned off, the only option is to have someone physically in front of the console

• How to report the current time on the ESX host in to a csv file with the following

  Hello guys

  I have the script next where I make the required details except the current time on the ESX host. Anyone can guide me please.

  		{foreach ($esx to $vmhosts)
  			$hostVC = $vcenter
  			$hostCluster = $esx. Parent.Name
  			$hostHost = $esx. Name
  			$ntp = $esx | Get-VMHostNtpServer
  			$hostNTP = "$ntp".

  			}

  I want to integrate the following for loop of the above for loop and ge the output in a single table.

  foreach ($esxcli in get-vmhost | get-esxcli) {"" |} {Select @{n = "Time"; e = {$esxcli.system.time.get ()}}, @{n = "hostname"; e = {$esxcli.system.hostname.get (.hostname)}}}

  Add-Content - Path '$hostVC, $hostCluster, $hostHost, $hostNTP, $hostTime' $hostInvFile - $ hostTime is where I want to get my host right now.

  I'm vcenter, esx name, name of the cluster, host of the ntp server address, but I need the host thus present.

  Thanks in advance.

  Thank you

  vKar

  Try changing the line where the script retrieves the VMHost to this

  $vmhosts = get-VMHost-State connected. Name sort

  This way the script will be only to ESXi nodes that are "connected".

  Pick up time for those defective does not much sense in all cases

• Reboot the ESX host as possible while on VM snapshots exist?

  Can you safely do a reboot of a host ESX VM there was on this host which are off (of course), but have a snapshot exists at this time?

  Because we restart some ESX host but you also have to install some Windows updates on the virtual machine on these hosts. Normally, we take a snapshot of the WM, install updates, restart, check if everything is working fine, and then remove the snapshot. But after a reboot the ESX host we also check if the VM have started and are working very well. In this case, it would cost me 2 restart and check for WM

  When I could do the snapshots, installation of updates, power off the virtual machine, reboot the ESX host, turn on the virtual machine, all check and then delete the snapshots, it saves me time. Only thing I don't know and can't find is so it record to make a snapshot is by restarting the EX host and if the snapshot can be deleted after reboot normally.

  Welcome to the community,

  don't worry, a restart of the host is quite VMs, regardless of whether they are active or not snapshots.

• Question ESXi 5.5 with turn a virtual computer: "an error was received from the ESX host turning on VM" '22 (Invalid argument)"'DiskEarly on a power Module failed.'

  Here's what happens when you try to turn it on one of my virtual machines (see also accessories):

  Error stack:

  An error was received from the ESX host turning on VM vzilla-ws2012r2e.

  Unable to start the virtual machine.

  22 (invalid argument)

  This circumstance may be linked to a sata cable issue, with the possibility of temporary loss of connectivity, which could result in data loss/corruption, I realize.  It is a laboratory box.  Especially say that the 2 VMDK he complains (trying to light) is both on the grounds of a single physical disk. Data, read and written to the speaker, since the problem are very good (which indicates the wiring problem was resolved, and the VMFS5 file system seems to be in good health).

  No photos.  No related clones.  Just a 2012 Windows Server based VM, with several drive letters in, with those underlying files VMDK residing on different stores of data VMFS5.  Implemented end (these drives aren't really so huge), but far from running out of physical space for the data either. Everything is working great for months, until today, trying to it turns on again.

  Thank you!

  Good news, the best result I could hope. No data is lost. No corruption of the VMFS or NTFS don't drive in the virtual machine. Nice!  Saved me a few terabytes of data restoration and learned a little more on file system of troubleshooting along the way.

  It took a technician of VMware Service excellent, attentive, methodical remote 2 hours in a WebEx previously to resolve problems with these 2 files vmdk manually, because he found that there is a lock on them. I opened a request of Service (SR) # with VMware by following the instructions here:

  VMware KB: Cannot access certain files on a VMFS datastore

  I'll cover this saga and the exact process for collecting and downloading of newspapers, through to my TinkerTry.com, including the ride video.  I even captured much of the technical work that has been done. That said, it is true that little of the magic that was made to resurrect the metadata will remain a mystery, given that this piece is VMware.

• Naming of the ESX hosts with the underscore. Best practices?

  I was curious as to what that the general eager to name the ESX hosts with underscores "_". I found an old post in 2006 related to it:

  http://communities.vmware.com/thread/64885

  In the thread, it is usually frowend against because she not compling with DNS internet naming standards. The underscore character is not recognized by the Web servers.

  He has been wondering if there would be no advantage to include similar underscore characters with no routable ip subnets, 192.168.x, 10, etc...

  If you have designed it correctly you already have your hosts on a subnet that is not routable, so you would get no real benefit.

  Beyond this thought experiment, there are problems with your esx host with ESX, vSphere, vCenter naming universe underscores?

  Just an info

  All my guests have underscore in them. I had to replace all of them with a dashboard because ESX 4.1 will not accept underscore after upgrade to the console.

• Restart VM after you restart the ESX host

  Hi all

  I am using VSphere Enterprise.

  Here my little question, makes VMs always restart after back us running or stopping of the esx host?

  In esx 3.5, when I reboot an esx host, all the virtual machines in this host are still alive (without restarting).

  Pls advice

  Thank you

  The only way, a virtual machine can rest running when it is running on ESX server is restarted is that if FT is activated - in this case, the connections will be seamless switch to the virtual machine "shadow". This is a feature of vSphere, so I don't see how you did not the VMs restart on your ESX 3.5 - even with VMware HA environment, there will be a short break because the VMs will be will be running on the other nodes in the cluster.

• help - vm to 100% with Betclic resources cpu, but the ESX host to 15% cpu

  Hi all

  5 * HP BL460c Blade each with two Quad Core Xeon E5450 and and 8 GB of RAM.

  ESX 3.5

  VirtualCenter 2.5.0

  DRM and active HA.

  I need assistance with resource pools. Currently I have them all together for:

  • expandable

  • unlimited

  for the CPU and memory. I tried without reserve and with reservations, and it is indifferent to the result.

  I'm running a server SQL2008 (2 * vCPU, 3.5 GB of RAM) which is pretty hard. and from time to time the cpu usage spikes to 100% (6 GHz) and saturate at this time here. When I go to the graphs of the ESX host, I see up to 3 physical processes responsible... and all the others are dormant...

  I'm working on why he no longer not affected resources of the ESX host. I thought that because of the resource sharing (unlimited), he could catch resource from the pool of resources of the parent (unlimited). And our Installer is very very little used - so much processing power/mem available spare parts.

  I have also some really stupid questions:

  • with SMP, 1 vCPU means only 1 pCPU host is used?
    I never thought that this true, but in this example, it seems that only 2 pCPUs on the host are used... maybe 3,.., it is difficult to tell from the graph

  • a virtual machine can use more resources from a host at the same time?

  with SMP, 1 vCPU means only 1 pCPU host is used?

  I never thought that this true, but in this example, it seems that only 2 pCPUs on the host are used... maybe 3,.., it is difficult to tell from the graph

  Yes, assign you a resource equivalent to a virtual machine to the host.  Therefore, if you assign 1 vCPU which is equivalent to a unique Jepp on the host computer in the slot.

  a virtual machine can use more resources from a host at the same time?

  No. a resource pool is on a cluster, but VM inside this POOL can only use a single host resources.  The case is from ESX can use DRS to load balancing force of the VM, the pool determines the overall consumption and that you assign VM accordingly.  But ESX is not yet there to physical resource take other hosts.  What ever host is on, it is that the only place these resources can be achieved.

  What process the SQL 2008 taking up the CPU process?  I think it's SQL Server, in which case it is not that you can do.  One of the reasons that I discourage using VM for SQL, SQL works not virtualized.

• Move the ESX host again VC, VM permissions is needed

  @all:

  I have a big problem with the permissions on the virtual machine.

  Due to the fact that I created a new VC, I want to spend the ESX host for the new Victoria Cross. No problem, but it the individual permissions for VM to disappear.

  Well, I'm looking for a script powershell read/grouping, the name of the virtual machine and the permission is assigned (like the tab authorization VC). After the removal of the host, I would like to add the permissions to the virtual machine.

  Probably something with "AuthorizationManager" but I can't make it work...

  Any help is appreciated

  THX

  If you want to only read permissions for virtual machines in a specific data center do you it like this

  $serviceInstance = get-view ServiceInstance
  $authMgr = get-view $serviceInstance.Content.authorizationManager
  $report =@()
  
  # Read and list all permissions for VMs in Datacenter
  Get-Datacenter  | Get-VM | %{
    $entity = $_ | Get-View
    $permissions = $authMgr.RetrieveEntityPermissions($entity.MoRef, $false)
    foreach($perm in $permissions){
      $row = "" | Select VMname, Principal, Role, Group
       $row.VMname = $entity.Name
       $row.Principal = $perm.Principal
       foreach($role in $authMgr.RoleList){
         if($perm.RoleId -eq $role.RoleId){
          $row.Role = $role.Info.Label
            break
         }
       }
       $row.Group = $perm.Group
      $report += $row

• After that I changed the Duplex parameter on NIC's Service console, I am not able to connect the ESX host

  Hi all

  Please help solve my problem.

  After that I changed the Duplex parameter on NIC's Service console, I am unable to connect the ESX host. How can I reset the 100 MB NETWORK card duplex. Can someone help me please.

  Concerning

  Vijay

  Hello

  As the bulb you have two problems that are not related.

  (1) duplex setting, your switch and NIC must match. If one is assigned to auto-negotiation, then the other must be set to auto-negotiation. Personally, I tend to let auto-negotiation unless there is an absolute reason to spend. If you then turn on the both sides of the interface, the switch port and esxcfg-NICS allows you to change the duplex, etc.

  (2) passwords for root are not related to the network unless you have also run esxcfg-auth authentication remote.  The only time I saw what you have here is when the system is configured to try to authenticate remote and not locally.

  The two problems are fixable by booting into single-user mode, set the duplex and reset the password.
