Help with ESXi embedded in Air OnDemand

I'm trying to establish a framework of ESXi nested in the Air on request. I do this to try to learn vCloud. I have the nested ESX on the default routed Org network. My vcenter works and can connect to hosts, etc. In other words, my network works fine. I created another Org isolated network and gave my 3 Esxi hosts nested a new network on this network adapter. I was using it for vMotion. Everything seems fine, but the host cannot ping each other through the port vMotion group - who lives on a DVS. I even lit mode promiscuity on the port group. I know that's probably not that much information to help me, but everybody has some ideas where I could go wrong?

Hey Jedijeff,

You can check out the following blog: ESXi nested on Air - VMware vCloud Blog - Articles from VMware vCloud . In short, the reason is why virtual ESXi hosts are unable to communicate on the network for VMotion vmkernel interface MAC addresses aren't aligned with the virtual NIC of ESXi. If you use the same method in the blog and change the file esx.conf for the vmotion vmkernel correspond to one of the network cards virtual ESXi then it should be able to ping. I will admit that it is quite complex, however, we are working in early 2016 to ESXi nested within vCloud Air much easier to deploy, configure, and use. Stay tuned.

  • HA with ESXi embedded

    I just got an evaluation of VMware Infrastructure working with some blades HP BL495 using ESXi embedded (on the internal USB flash drives).

    I configured a data store on a NFS partition on a NetApp data warehouses and the virtual machines will work perfectly and VMotion works correctly.

    However, when I try to create a cluster, I get the following error:

    HA agent has an error: host in Cluster HA must have active swap userworld

    I tried following KB article: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1004177 but am not which way I have to use with a NFS data store. All the obvious options fail.

    I saw a few comments on the web who suggest that it is not possible to use HA with swap userworld of iSCSI or NFS storage. Is this really the case? Is there no workaround solution if it is?

    This scary chain is a real name of the data store. Name only appearing in client VI is just a symlink, so that's ok.

    My recommendation: do not point uwswap to the data store. Create a folder such as ./uwswap/---

  • Need help with printing wireless and Air of printing

    I have a Xerox printer connected to an Airport Express station and I was able to print wireless from my Mac. I just replaced the Xerox with a Brother printer which has built in WiFi and Air feel, although I can't get anything to work. I entered my password WiFi network directly on the printer. The instructions had me download the drivers that I did and I download a wireless configuration program that asked more than about nothing if I already entered my password of the WiFi network of the printer.

    1. I do not remember how I already had the Xerox facility to print wireless from my Mac. I just plugged a USB cable directly linking the Airport Express to the Brother printer to bypass the built in Brother WiFi and use the Airport Express for internet.

    2. any thoughts on the use of construction vs the Airport Express WiFi?

    3. what should I do do AirPrinting work?

    Thank you.

    I use an Epson printer set up as AirPrint rather than as a brother, but I expect the two similar configurations.

    All I had to do first was installing the printer on my network domestic wi - fi.

    Then in system preferences > printers & Scanners

    Select Add printer

    Select the printer and set its AirPrint and add

    What printer model is Brother and in fact specifies that it is compatible AirPrint, or just a Wi - Fi connection?

  • Help with ESXi config backup and restore

    We have ESXi 4.1 vSphere (no vCenter) and try to test a back up and restore hypervisor configuration settings before going on the do an upgrade of update 1.

    Virtual Assistant Machine using, we can successfully export a .tgz file settings of ESXi config with the following command (from a previous post on this topic):

    vicfg-cfgbackup - < Server > s - configBundle - ESXix.x.x.x.tgz

    The config file is sent to/home/vi-admin. The problem is when I try to restore the configuration file for the ESXi server. I'm vMA and connected as a vi admin. Then type vifp addserver < Server >. Then check the target server is added by typing vifp mailing lists. I check that I can run vSphere orders CLI without authentication by typing vicfg-NIC - l. So far so good. Then when I try to restore the ESXi with the configuration by using the command file, below, I get an error of "command not found".

    vicfg-cfgbackup - < Server > | configBundle - ESXix.x.x.x.tgz

    The process of creating backups and restores to an ESXi Server seem to be rather complicated and not before right for someone of my level of experience. Basically what I need to be able to do is to check there is a process to recover from a failure of ESXi to restore its original configurations. Is there an easy, dumbed-down process for this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Is that a pipe in your order? It should be l as L for load

    also since your vifp presentation you could do

    vifptarget s esxi1

    Enter the credentials

    and then fire your order less - server part where you set this with vifptarget

    "vicfg-cfgbackup - configBundle - ESXix.x.x.x.tgz l.

  • Please help with ESXi Network Setup

    because when you put two machines using the same virtual

    You can use the Exchange on your vSwitch, but in reality it is not best practice and I would suggest your more NICs for resilience and security

  • ESXi embedded - record...

    Hi guys, we have some servers with ESXi embedded - they came with ESXi 4.0; When you look at the console it says logging is disabled (all good).  However after update 4.0 U3, he says is no longer recording is disabled at the level of the console - I googled around, but couldn't find any documants on disabling; and I don't want to write logs to the flash all the time.  Can someone let me know how to disable the local recording and just send the logs to a syslog server?

    See you soon

    As written in the KB scratch could be an option... but you can also disable loggin or redirect them to a syslog server.

    Can someone answer this question right ahead please?

    When you buy a new HP DL360 with ESXi embedded you need hard to host a file of any nature or can the server work without local disks at all?

    See you soon.

    Hi, Local storage is not required. You can create the SWAP file on the external data store. Please go through the link http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vmware_esxi_architecture_wp.pdf (number of page 4). See you soon!

  • ESXi embedded, cannot start the new virtual machine

    We have installed just a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with ESXi embedded.  That part went well.  I am able to connect through the client.  I can create a new virtual machine.  That's where I met problems.  No matter what I tried the machine does not start.  I ' v tried the host device as CDROM, the device as CDROM, and even customer created ISO W2003 CD and downloaded.  I can't understand why he won't start.   Whenever he tried to boot from the network or when he fails he just says "operating system not found" and stays like that.  I started in the bios of the virtual machine and made sure the startup options are correct, etc.  I'm lost.

    I read this forum for like a day and while I see some who have had similar problems, I have not seen this precise question or a question with an answer that applies to my question.  It could be the pre holiday drink

    I hope someone can advise.

    Thank you

  • With the help of ESXi 5.5 with storage controller HP DL120 Gen9 (HP H240 FIO active host Bus Adapter)

    Hi guys, I'm new to virtualization, but I couldn't find a solution for this. Feel free to correct my text because I'm not very experienced with this sort of thing.

    Background: I have a couple of servers and the end of the game will be left to create a San and run other systems within this SAN (providing network-level RAID). While in one data center I could decides to make a RAID at the level of the material in addition to RAID level network, now I want to save money on storage for this test so I want to do simple split disks (RAID/JBOD) at the hardware level. Because of the OS, we will virtualize later we use ESXi 5.5, 6.0 not.

    In fact, I had a small server supermicro I already installed ESXi 5.5 on that doesn't have lots of storage which will be the 3rd Member voting left.

    So I put the 2 servers (HP ProLiant DL120 Gen9 E5-2630v3 8 GB-R H240 8SFF 550W PS entry Server (777425-B21)) and I went into the BIOS/CMOS settings mode AHCI Mode smart-table (I don't remember the wording of it, I'm not in front of the machine). Then I went in the smart supply and went to the intelligent storage administrator part and I had to select "disable the RAID", or something like that. After the reboot, I went back and now my two drives appear as "Unassigned" which seemed reasonable to me. I tried to see if I could 'assign' but in mode no RAID, there is no means to assign what whatsoever because the paintings exist not primarily in mode non-RAID. I was not sure if there is a way to "initialize" them or something like that, but I couldn't find the parameters like this. My hope was that a BONE would now see these drives natively as a simple readers without the layer of abstraction to a storage controller.

    This does not work and when I run ESXi 5.5 from a USB it will boot, but when it gets to the part where you are supposed to select the ESXi installation disc on it only shows the USB itself and none of my SSD.

    Does anyone know how to configure the adapter HBA H240 with ESXi 5.5? I could really use some help from someone who has done this before.

    Thanks for any help!

    I thought her guy after a few hours of playing with it. I had to pull on the site of HP storage controller driver and group with the ISO (I used experience before VMware: ESXi-Customizer). After having done that, I am sure that AHCI (instead of HP Dynamic Smart Array RAID) has been activated (in the configuration of the BIOS) and disabled by RAID in the HPSSA (intelligent storage administrator). Then, I could see the SSD in the ESXi 5.5.

    Jürgen Vervoort, ESXi 5.5 does not recognize the SSD when I had the active RAID and configured 1 table for each disk (make an effective JBOD). I also tried a single RAID 0 array with two SSDS inside and ESXi does not always detect them. I think that the underlying issue is that the driver is not supported natively by 5.5 ESXi. Right now I'm sure that if I went and configured RAID this would work because the storage controller driver is loaded in ESXi.

    In any case, I hope this will help others with the same issues.

  • Adobe AIR desktop application with an embedded runtime

    Hello

    What is a desktop application Adobe AIR with an embedded runtime (independent/portable) than Kropotkin work of Windows on a Mac too much on?

    No, you have to compile a 'bundle' with ADT on each platform. Under Windows, it creates a directory with a .exe and the AIR runtime. On OS X, it creates a .app file.

  • With the help of ESXi and vCenter

    Hi all, I have some doubts on the use of ESXi and Virtual Center.

    Recently, we have set up 2 servers ESX with Virtual Center, all allowed in the Standard edition to have an available shared storage and HA.

    Our idea is to set up a new server with ESXi installed for testing purposes.

    Is possible to manage this server ESXi with our real VirtualCenter or we need a license? This particular server does NOT use shared storage or HA.

    Thanks for your help!

    Kind regards

    Diego

    Yes, you need a license for ESXi manage VirtualCenter. You can purchase the license to the Foundation. Please see the license attached (on page 3)

  • Hard drives and ESXi embeded?

    For those of you who already use embeded ESXi on built in flash media in your dell/hp/ibm server etc..  ESXi embeded requires all to be present so that he can use hard disks or can you only run the complete installation on flash support.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    You can run your ESXi host entirely from flash media, your host does not need to have spinning disks.

    Of course, your virtual machines will need real storage of race. If your host will have a need to be able to connect to the storage via SAN, NAS or NFS.

    What I understand, starting with ESXi 4.1, it is even possible to boot from PXE and/or SAN directly, so in this case you would not even flash media anymore.

    Hope this helps,

  • Confused in what I need [ESXi Embedded; ESX Installable; ESX 3.5]

    Hello team.

    Let me explain what I first: I need to run 6 virtual machines and manage these 6 VMs through a single window. I might be able to manage all VMs 6 using the single window (in general-, this could be any application). To manage, I mean, create snapshots, go back, use them as if I had VMware workstation. I don't need any other features. I'm looking in the plug of the machine: Quad core; 8 GB; SATA RAID.

    Now my question is how do I select ESXi Embedded or Installable or standalone ESX. Is there documentation that shows these differences or videos showing what are interfaces?

    I read the difference between ESXi and ESX and it was something citing on linux required for ESX. Does this mean that my whitebox will need Linux installed before that I could install ESX?

    ESXi is barebone architecture, which means, I'll lose admin capabilities?

    You think, with these questions, am confused? Thanks for any help in advance

    Novice user with virtualization - Manny

    Hello Manny,

    In fact, it's the same interface and the program, you use esx and esxi.

    Free ESXi, esx costs money and can do all kinds of magic to keep near 100% availability.

    You will need to have an admin on windows pc to run the VI client from.

    The VI-client (or VMware Infrastructure client) connects to your host, and from there, you can create new guests, create the snapshot, return etc.

    NO, you don't need linux. In fact my esx 3i is booting from a USB key no OS is required on the hard disk.

    I have attached a photo where you can see the interface to manage hosts.
