Help with a conversion from an ESX 4.0 host ESXi4.1

Hi all

I'm new to VMware. I was given a task to virtualize infrastructure. I bought 3 dell 610's with 64 GB of ram and an equallogic SAN 6000. I have all three new hosts and the SAN in collaboration with a few virtual machines running in it as it is. I have the advanced VMware license. I also have VMCenter installed and working.

What I need help on is the following:

I have a computer host running ESX 4.0 with a local storage with exchange 2003 and windows 2008 r2 server x 64 running on it. How can I move the two virtual machines to the SAN, and then upgrade to the host ESX to ESXi 4.1?

Kind regards

CG

Hello

As Scott says, you simply add the host in vCenter Server and connect the ESX to the San.  Then you can migrate your VMS (virtual machines must be turned off) from the existing to the new host.

If for some reason you cannot connect the host to the SAN, then you can try with vCenter Converter to do a V2V conversion to migrate your virtual machines.

Finally, there is no way to upgrade from ESX to ESXi, so you need to do a clean install of ESXi on your existing host.

Best wishes / Saludos

  • Need help with the conversion of an excel formula.

    I really seem to have a problem with wrapping my mind around Java.  Could someone help me with this particular formula?

    What I'm trying to do is convert a D20 Modern character sheet I created in Excel.  The excel version looks like this: = ROUNDDOWN ((C11) / 2-5, 0).

    Also, is it easy to bind the fields together so that the result of the above equation appears in the right place in terms of 'skills' modifier else where on the page?

    Thanks for any help that you could provide!

    Blair Marshall

    The JavaScript code to place in the event of a field Calculate would be something like this:

    // Custom Calculate script for text field
    (function () {
    
        // Get the field value of C11, as a number
        var v = +getField("C11").value;
    
        // Perform the calculation, round down, and set this field's value
        event.value = Math.floor(v / 2 - 5);
    
    })();
    

    Replace "C11" with the actual field name if it is different.

    If you give the same name fields, they will automatically receive the same value.

  • 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.

    Cannot open disk ' / vmfs/volumes/51286ca4-ef967828-664d-001b2129ad71/vzilla-ws2012r2e/vzilla-ws2012r2e_3.vmdk ' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

    22 (invalid argument)

    Power DiskEarly module has failed.

    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.

    You are looking for:

    "Failure error disk beginning module lit" results in this article:

    which indicates the .lck files may be present.  It does not exist.

    error disk on start module failed

    but alas, none of them seem to relate directly, or exactly.  My vmware.log file is attached below, as well as some screenshots of to show the structure of the unity of this virtual machine.  Hoping that this post proves fruitful, if anyone has had a similar situation.  The data at stake here are (mostly) redundant, but I would rather understand my way of it, in the case where it happens to me again, or can help others.  Many preferred rather than give up, reformat the VMFS and start 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

    To resolve this problem, apply for support from VMware Support and note this ID (1012036) Knowledge Base article in the description of the problem. For more information on the filing of a request for support, see How to submit a support request.

    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.

    I'm ok with a bit of black box, considering how I'm happy that I got all my data, and time savings that the quick recovery represented.
