Host does not switch into maintenance - Operation Timed Out mode

Hey all.

I'm putting one of my hosts in the mode of maintenance and get an 'Operation Timed' error Out. All virtual machines have been moved outside the host so I know that's not a problem "CD in the drive.

I tried to do this in VC and the command line using vimsh - n EI/hostsvc/maintenance_mode_enter

When I run the command line, here is the result:

# vimsh-e - n/hostsvc/maintenance_mode_enter

File not found.

Something tells me that the "file not found" is not a good thing. If you can think of to try please let me know.

I changed the first [to one - for purposes of formatting

Unfortunately, this happens from time to time.  The work around is simply restart the host as it is, and then maintenance.

    Hello. I have try to add view transfer Server Infrastructure and get the problems of follow-up:

    Thanks for all replies.

    Change the role of the administrator of your view (or whatever the account that is used to manage the server transfer has role) on vCenter and put a tick in the box for Global-manage custom attributes.

  • vSphere high availability 'Élection' fails at 99% 'operation timed out' to 1 of the 2 hosts

    Hello

    We had a system with 1 host ESXi 5.1 with local disks.

    Now, we install redundancy by adding a 5.5 U2 ESXi host and a device of vCenter 5.5.

    After having installed and any addition to vcenter, we went the ESXi 5.1 to 5.5 U2 ESXi. The SAN works correctly (vMotion works on the own NETWORK card).

    Now, if I try to activate the high availability, both servers will install the HA Agent and start "Election".

    All the warehouses of data (4) on the SAN are chosen for the HA heartbeat, response of isolation is "keep it turned on" by default.

    A server will always be this process done, and the other will keep "elect" until it reaches 100% and errors on the operation "election timed out.

    I've seen this problem on both servers, so I think that the 'master' elected does not have the problem, only the "slave".

    I have checked these items and executed, but not worked:

    VMware KB: Reconfiguration HA (FDM) on a cluster fails with the error: operation timed out

    -The services were running

    VMware KB: Configuration HA in VMware vCenter Server 5.x does not work, error: Operation Timed out

    -All the MTU has been set at 1500

    VMware KB: VMware High Availability Configuration fails with the error: unable to complete the configuration of the ag of HA...

    -the default gateway is not the same on the two hosts, but I fixed that. There is no itinerary changes. HA the setting is "leave power." After correction and deactivation/reactivation HA, the problem is always the same.

    VMware KB: Check and reinstall the correct version of the VMware vCenter Server agents

    -J' ran "Reinstall ESX host management agents and HA on ESXi" agent of HA, and I checked that it was uninstalled and reinstalled during the reactivation of HA.

    CP /opt/vmware/uninstallers/VMware-fdm-uninstall.sh/tmp
    chmod + x /tmp/VMware-fdm-uninstall.sh
    /tmp/vmware-FDM-uninstall.sh

    I did this for two guests. This fix makes the problem of the election and I was still able to run a HA test successfully, but when after this test, I turned off the 2nd Server (in order to test the PA in the other direction), HA has no failover to 1 and everything remained low. After pressing 'reconfigure HA', the problem of the election appeared again on 1 hosts.

    P.S. I had problems with cold Migration during the implementation of the SAN. After setting up all (vMotion, ESX upgrade), these problems have disappeared.

    When you search for this error, I came to this article: KB VMware: VMware vCenter Server displays the error message: unable to connect to the host

    And this cause could make sense, since the server vCenter changed and IP addressing has been changed during the implementation.

    However, in the file vpxa.cfg, the < hostip > and < serverip > is correct (verified by using https://< hostip > / home).

    Tried this again today, no problem at all.

    P.P.S. I have set up several of these systems from scratch in the past without problem (if it is an 'upgrade').

    OK, so the problem is solved.

    I contacted Dell Pro Support (OEM offering the license) and they checked the logs (fdm.log) and found that the default IP gateway could not be reached.

    The default gateway is the ip address by default host isolation, used by HA.

    Because it is an isolated production system, the front door provided proved only for future purposes.

    Now, I've changed the default gateway address of management on the switch plugged into both hosts, namely the ping requests.

    This solved any problem.

    I get the message: "this virtual computer is configured for.

    If I don't answer him then continues to try to start the virtual machine but cancel then with "the task was canceled by a user" even if I don't cancel anything. If Yes, well, after validation, and attempt to start the ISO XP it says "this processor is not compatible with x 64 mode. Please install a X 86 32-bit operating system. »

    That's what I get every time I turn on a virtual machine where I'm trying to start a 64-bit XP ISO file so that I can install XP 64 bit on it.

    I am running 4.1 on a 64-bit VM ESX (Redhat Linux 5 64-bit) of VMWare Workstation v7.  I tried Windows XP 64-bit and other flavors of

    Linux 64-bit but same problem with all of them.

    My physical pc consists of: CPU Q6600 (which supports VT).  The mobo is P5E - VM HDMI and VanderPool (VT) with XD bit set is enabled in the BIOS.  It is running

    to 3.60 GHz.

    So I can't install any 64 bit OS because it tells me that my pc ESX 4.1 VM does not support VT... I started in its virtual bios but there is no parameter VT it.  Yet, when I boot ESX with the preferred Mode of CPU Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/IVR value I get a message bit on the right down saying: "this host does not support the EFA. For material aid to virtualization with MMU software. "So I don't know that he sees VT during startup of ESX, only virtual computers created in ESX do not seem to see it.

    I have already added the following in my vm ESX 4.1 .vmx file:

    guestOS = "vmkernel".

    monitor_control.vt32 = 'true '.

    monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = 'true '.

    I tried also to add the above in vmx file XP 64 bit VM as well.  Any ideas on how I can install a 64 bit OS in a virtualized 4.1 ESX? Or it is not possible?

    you run nested ESX. In ESX ESX. You can install 32-bit operating systems in this type of environment. VMware has no VT support for nested VMS

  • Satellite P100-324 - GPU overheating due to fan does not work in the operating system

    Hello world.

    While trying to solve the problem of RAM of 4 GB ([this thread | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=28374&tstart=0]), I meet another weird thing - gpu overheating due to fan does not work in the operating system.

    Now, I restored the XP MCE using the Toshiba Recovery and I was VERY surprised to see that the problem still exists! As soon as loading the system GPU fan stops, and there is only tranquility. The application load is heavy on GPU and reaching 104 results by reducing its GPU and MEMORY clock values and NOT in the activation of the fan.

    The same thing happens in 64-bit gentoo. ACPI can be turned on or off, it is not serious, the GPU fan always dies as soon as the system load. In non-OS environments (bios, program of recovery, etc.) the fan works fine, GPU cooling from time to time.

    This problem occurs in versions of BIOS: 2.40, 4.00, 4.20.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, since this laptop is my main working tool and I can't let go 14 days (service).

    I saw in your other thread that you have updated the BIOS and you have installed several different OS.

    Fact is that the BIOS v 4.2 package contains BIOS 32-bit and 64-bit OS.
    Your laptop has been preloaded with Win XP MCE 32 bit. Please use the 32-bit BIOS if the original XP MCE running on the laptop.

    How can I set up Vista so that the PC does not switch to another window (for example the Spy Sweeper alerts) while I am playing a game?

    Vista is not in control of this technique. Spy Sweeper needs to have an option to control that. If this isn't the case, then it is badly programmed. Flight of focus (go to another window) when it is actually needed is a big no-no for the design. I find this option, if I were you :)

  • T610 with Windows Embedded 7 - the system does not license for the operating system image

    Hello community,

    I bought a refurbished computer ThinClient T610 that is running a Windows 7 Embedded English. The label on the package says, that the computer ThinClient is allowed with W7E. When I now run Easy Tools installed on the computer ThinClient hp to create a USB Image with the German language, everything works fine: the image is downloaded from the web and put on the stick.

    But after you start the stick, the installation program tells me: "the system does not license for the operating system image. What I am doing wrong? The BIOS is already the latest.

    Or y at - it another way to transform the operating system in German? There should be an option to download additional languages, but this particual window has no other options. And I have not found any manual way to download other languages.

    Concerning

    Michael

    Sometimes it can be so easy... ;-)

    So here's my solution:

    1. go on the Web for hp Support site

    2. go in the software and driver download

    3. set the language of driver on the language of your choice (in fact: it was the main problem)

    4. download an operating system image

    5. run the configuration tool and copy the image of an operating system on a flash drive

    6. restart the workstation and install the os

    7. take advantage of your computer ThinClient in the language of your choice

    I don't know, why the hp Easy Tools downloaded the image of evil, but with this solution, that I find myself at the same point, as if they did.
