Host connection failure: VMs, warehouses of data inaccessible (in gray)

Hello everyone,

I have 1 ESXi host 5.1 throwing alarm: host connection failure. Al a SNMP trap for the entity has been sent.

I have 10 servers ESXi 5.1 all the amanged by 1 5.1 VCenter server.

8 ESXi servers belong to a cluster HA and 2 are not in a cluster.

The issue I'm facing is with 1 ESXi host that is outside the cluster.

The virtual machines on that host are powered OFF. I am not able to turn on. I am not able to Vmotion them. However, if I remove them from the inventory and add them to the inventory on a different host running, VM works very well.

Shared on this host data warehouses show Greyed out as well except the local data store (VMFS). I have 1 VM on the local disk of this host and I can power ON the property. But all other virtual machines are the shared data store (NFS - Netapp) and I can not turn on this particular host 1.

Same data warehouses (NFS - Netapp) are shared with the other 9 (Clustered and nonclustered hosts) ESXi hosts and data store is fine and detected by all hosts.

I tried to reboot the host several times but without success.

Can someone please share their expert advise on how to fix this?

Please see the attachment for details of esxi host does not.

Thank you

AG.

  • Script to list all the warehouses of data in a cluster, the virtual machines on the data store and the host of the virtual machine is on

    We have warehouses of data which are seen by more than one cluster. I need a script that will display:

    all stores of data seen by a cluster

    the virtual machines on the data store

    the host of the virtual machine is on

    the cluster the host is in

    The output I want is

    name of the store of data, the VM name, host name, the name of the Cluster

    any help would be appreciated

    Pretty sure this will do what you need:

    $report = @()
    Foreach($cluster in Get-Cluster){
        $datastores = $cluster | Get-VMHost | Get-Datastore
        foreach($datastore in $datastores){
        $vms = $datastore | Get-VM
        If ($vms.count -ge 1){
            foreach($VM in $vms){
            $object = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{
                  Datastore = $datastore.Name
                  VM = $VM.Name
                  HostName = $VM.VMhost
                  Cluster = $cluster
                }
            $report += $object
            }
    
        }
        }
    }
    $report | Export-Csv C:\Temp\VMs.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
    

    If you only want to shared data warehouses you can then use

    $datastores = $cluster | Get-VMHost | Get-Datastore | Where {$_.Extensiondata.Summary.MultipleHostAccess -eq $True}
    

    Hope this helps

  • Which host is connected to these storage of data?

    OK guys... Im stuck on stupid here.

    I have a list of a slew of data warehouses that have less free space 20% capacity. I just need to find which esx host (or clusters) are connected to data warehouses and export them to a csv file. I thought that it would be a simple command, but ive not had much luck.

    I found the below command and he does report the host connected to the DS, but it returns the host connected to a full ' [string]: join; which is very difficult to sort through when you have 100 + data warehouses.

    Get-Datastore $_. Select Name, @{N = "Hosts"; E = {[string]: join (",", ($_.))} Extensiondata.Host | %{(Get-vue $_.) Key). Name}))}}


    Name                                    Hosts
    -------                                    --------
    DS_01 ESX_srv1, ESX_srv2, ESX_srv3...

    The foregoing would be very nice If I could do to return the cluster name (who I could ask easy host), but I had no luck with either.

    Thanks in advance!

    KeV - o

    You could make a

    Get-Datastore $_ | Get-VMHost | Get-Cluster
    

    A little messy that it would match the cluster for each host, if you know what is correct then you could do:

    Get-Datastore $_ | Get-VMHost | Select -first 1 | Get-Cluster

  • Warehouses of data, ScsiLuns, and the VI-plugin (c#)

    Hello

    I'm writing a VI - Plugin (vmware infrastructure client version 2.5.0)

    I'm a little stuck trying to decode the API...

    I'll try to find the relationship between a data store ("DS_1" in the attached JPG) and the ScsiLun ("vmhba2:6:1:1" in the attached JPG)

    what I found so far:

    I can find the host

    Vmomi.HostSystem host = Service.ManagedObjectIdentifiedBy [suid] like Vmomi.HostSystem;

    I can also find the data store

    Vmomi.Host.DatastoreBrowser ds = host. GetDatastoreBrowser();

    Vmomi.DatastoreArray dsa is ds. GetDatastore();

    now dsa. GetInfo(). Name could give me a name ("DS_1 or DS_2 or DS_3')

    find the ScsiLun is also simple:

    Vmomi.Host.ConfigManager cm = host. GetConfigManager();

    Vmomi.Host.StorageDeviceInfo sdi = cm. StorageSystem.GetStorageDeviceInfo ();

    //now sdi. ScsiLun. CanonicalName would give me a Lun (vmhba2:6:2:1 or vmhba2:6:1:1 or vmhba2:6:3:1)

    I'll try to find what connects these 2 bays (warehouses of data and ScsiLuns)

    Thank you

    Gil.

    He is buried a little, but it's in DatastoreInfo property.  You must list your data warehouses, get each property of the info .  Then test that it is an object of VmfsDatastoreInfo .  You will then need to enumerate the properties of the vmfs.extent table (maybe only 1 if no extensions) for the diskName property.

    This should match canonicalName in scsiLun.

    I have a few undocumented Perl code if you are interested which shows how I did it.   Let me know if it helps, I'll post it.

  • ISE max connection failures

    In ISE, is - anyone know if the tally for the failures of maximum connection for accounts invited (found under settings > comments > political portal page) is one per session or cumulative setting during the lifetime of the account? The County never resets and is there a way to display the current number of connections that have failed?

    Our use case, is that we have guest accounts that distributed to multiple hosts (for example for a hosted conference or special event). We had a couple of this type of accounts get suspended because of hitting max connection failures. We have increased the adjustment, but I would like to understand the parameters more has some of the guest accounts must apply to a significant period of time.

    This is per session, when logged in successfully, the counter is reset.

  • Network host connectivity problem

    Hi all
    I have a bit of a strange an ESXi 5 U1 host connectivity problem. The host has a network card in the 10.0.0.0/24 subnet, and from there it can ping both devices but cannot ping to two other devices. To explain a little better:
    There are two hosts with identical hardware (HP ProLiant DL380 G6) both built with the same picture of ESXi 5 U1 from HP.
    There is an IP address on the switch (Cisco 3750 gigabit) management.
    There are two servers running Openfiler, which I'll use for ISCSI data banks.
    All these devices are in the same VLAN in the 10.0.0.0/24 subnet. host 1 is identical to the 2 host configuration (bar IP address and host name, etc.). Host can ping all devices on the subnet 1 and maybe ping by all devices on the seubnet. 2, the one with the issue of the host can ping and ping the Cisco FoxyCode and host 1, but cannot ping or ping by one of the two boxes openfiler.
    Research on the openfiler boxes I see missing entries in the arp (marked as incomplete) table. Host 2 he entered complete arp for the openfiler boxes. A trace of the wireshark package shows the openfilers sending arp requests but no response from host 2. The Cisco and host 1 to get the answers.
    I have patched the critical fixes host 2 until the last critical and no, applied the latest versions of firmware HP etc. Swapped, cables, tried different switch ports and even different NICs on host 2, all to nothing does not. The Cisco ports configured all identically from host 1. The openfiler boxes are set up with interfaces servile and the Cisco switch ports are etherchannelled for these. There is no etherchannel or link aggregation etc for guests, straight connection to the front in the VLAN.
    Interestingly, all devices also has an interface in the 192.168.2.0/sous-reseau 24 for management and all devices can see all other devices here absolutely fine.
    If anyone has any ideas on where to go from here please let me know, I'm going crazy trying to understand this one!

    I wonder if the Etherchannels in Openfiler servers might not work. Depending on how the switch load balances executives, this could cause a host to work and the other is not.

  • Install PT8.53 with Linux problem: unable connect in Bootstrap Mode of Data Mover

    People,

    Hello. I install PeopleTools 8,53 Internet Architecture. Server database is the database Oracle 11 GR 1 material. Operating system is Oracle Linux 5.

    I installed successfully JDK7, WebLogic Tuxedo 11 GR 1 material and PeopleTools 8,53 10.3.6, in Oracle Linux 5.

    I've been setting up PeopleTools 8,53 Instance database. Because the Wizard installation problem, I created PeopleTools 8,53 Database Instance PT853 manually. I have run the following scripts:

    (1) utlspace.sql

    (2) dbowner.sql

    (3) psadmin.sql

    (4) psroles.sql

    (5) connect.sql

    Then, we perform Data Mover script in a Windows XP Client computer to fill the PeopleTools PT853 database machine Linux Sever instance. I installed Oracle Database 11 g 2 client for 32-bit Windows XP 64 - bit Windows virtual machine and run it successfully.

    In Oracle Linux 5 Server Machine Net Manager:

    Service name: PT853

    Connection type: default database

    "TCP/IP Protocol".

    Host: 192.168.196.102

    Port: 1521

    Listener: LISTENER

    Protocol: TCP/IP

    Host: 192.168.196.102

    Port: 1521

    I test the Service PT853 with "SYSADM" username and password "SYSADM". The connection is successful.

    In the Windows XP Client computer, the information in the Net Manager is the same as below:

    NET Service Name: PT853

    Protocol: TCP/IP

    The host of the database Machine name: 192.168.196.102

    Port: 1521

    Name of the Basic Service: PT853

    Connection type: default database

    I test the connection using 'SYSADM' and it is successful as well. This means that Windows XP database Client can connect with the server database Oracle Linux 5 successfully. But in the computer Windows XP Client, Data Mover cannot connect in Bootstrap Mode using "SYSADM". Its details are below:

    Configuration manager:

    Type of database: Oracle

    The database name: PT853

    User ID: SYSADM

    Connect ID: people

    Connect password: people

    Data Mover:

    Type of database: Oracle

    User ID: SYSADM

    Password: SYSADM

    When connect in Bootstrap Mode of Data Mover, I got the same error:

    ORA - 12154:TNS: can not resolve the connect identifier specified. Invalid user ID and password for the access code.

    Based on my understanding, in the Oracle database, the Data Mover Bootstrap mode connection requires a PSDBOWNER table with a 'Database name PT853 and UserID SYSADM' entry.

    The problem is that the PSDBOWNER table doesn't have a line after that I run 5 scripts above. I am looking at runs 5 scripts one by one as below:

    (1) running the utlspace.sql script creates spaces of table 2 (PSTEMP, PSDEFAULT). This script can not create 2 storage spaces. So, I created 2 tablespaces manually.

    (2) running the psdbowner.sql script creates the PSDBOWNER table. This script creates the PSDBOWNER table successfully, but the last line by pressing "connect system/manager", had this error: user not valid Word name and pass. logon denied. I ignore this error and continue the following script.

    (3) running the psroles.sql script created the roles PSUSER and PSADMIN. This script runs successfully without error.

    (4) running the psadmin.sql script creates ownerID SYSADM and ownerID password SYSADM. When this script runs the last line 'connect system/manager', had this error: user not valid Word name and pass. logon denied. I ignore this error and continue the following script.

    (5) running the connect.sql script creates connectID 'people' and connect password "people." This script runs successfully without error.

    My questions are:

    First of all, in the database Oracle Linux 5 server machine, when I created the instance of database PT853 using DBCA, on the management of the password for the user 'system', I unlocked it and change his password for 'system '. It causes the scripts 'psdbowner.sql' and 'psadmin.sql' got the error "username and password"? If so, how to fix?

    Second, after you run 5 scripts above, why there is no line in the table for Data Mover Bootstrap PSDBOWNER to open a session? How to solve this problem?

    Thirdly, can I just insert a line 'PT853 SYSADM' into the table PSDBOWNER for Data Mover Bootstrap to open a session?

    Thanks in advance.

    By default, the password of the population is peop1e.

    Once more, you shouldn't do anything 'manually' on the database, scripts do everything for you. Unless something is wrong.

    > When this script runs the last line 'connect system/manager', had this error: user not valid Word name and pass. logon denied. I ignore this error and continue the following script.

    I really wonder why ignore the error. This meant everything that your system password is not responsible, but something else that you set when creating the database. Never happens to you to check the script before you run it and change it if necessary?

  • a new datastore iSCSI (disk/lun) appears in the inventory. Warehouses of data, but not availble for quick vMotioning...

    Hello

    We have added the new datastore iSCSI (disk/lun)

    This new data store appears in the inventory. Warehouses of data, but not availble for quick vMotioning or the creation of a new virtual machine.

    did we miss a step?

    Ty

    r

    The reason is that the data store is not presented to all hosts in a cluster. When you create the VM in vCenter Server, only warehouses of data visible to the host on which the virtual machine is created are displayed.

    Make sure the presentation on your storage system is correct and rescan your hosts.

    To check the above, take a look at the Configuration-> Storage for guests.

  • For a DMA FIFO running from the host to the 7976 is a data type that is optimum for PEP?

    For transmission to the host 7976, I can pack my data in say U64s or break up in U8s.  Y at - it a data type that will give the best rate?  Maybe based on the bus (SMU) or the implementation of RIO drivers behind the scenes?

    My experience is different.  Once, I did a load of tests with different widths DMA FIFO for FPGA and tested the throughput and latency.  If sending data via U8, U16 or U32 DMAs, I saw the same total transfer of bps.  My explanation for this?  Given that the width of the DMA is 32 - bit, LV little packaging in order to ensure that each part of the 32 bits is used.  This means that if you have a DMA U8, it will transfer at a time, 4 to DMA 2 both U16 or U32 DMA one at a time.  64-bit is divided into two individual transfers.

    Do not use FXP.  Even a 1-bit FXP is represented internally as 64-bit and will require TWO DMA transfers to an FPGA.

    Side fromt hat, U8, U16 or U32 makes essentially no difference because they are all packed 32-bit internally.
