• Trying to increase the capacity of virtual resource Flash, no host esx and no SSD is located

  In vSphere 5.5 WebClient, click host esx-> settings-> virtual Flash Resource Management.

  Then click on the button 'Add ability '. Empty the list of hosts/SSD devices.

  I followed the instructions with this announcement, but the list of hosts/SSD devices remains empty.

  Anyone know how to get around this problem? Thank you!

  It works indeed. You need to do some CLI commands to mark the device as a local and an SSD, but I outlined the steps in a post on my blog:

• Host ESX 4.1 VC does not

  Hello

  I installed VC 4.1.0 in a virtual machine Windows 2003. Installation and setup went smoothly. Now, when I add a host (ESX) to the VC, the host indicates that does not respond within a few seconds. Is this something known? I found a similar thread http://communities.vmware.com/message/1347953, where it was mentioned that it is a known problem with old buildings.

  In addition, when add it this host to an another similar VC it works fine. Not able to understand the problem with this configuration of VC.

  Waiting for a response from VC experts.

  Thanks in advance

  Is there a firewall between ESX & VC? If Yes can you confirm if port 902 TCP & UDP is allowed bi-directional?

• Time synchronization with host ESX to Windows start even if disabled in VMware Tools?

  Hello

  just got in trouble with a freshly installed Windows XP SP3 VM do not apply Active Directory group policies. After some research, I discovered that this happened only with VMware Tools installed.

  With VMware Tools installed, Windows events 1030 and 1097 were generated at each start (the events say that group policy processing has been abandoned and that there is a time difference between the server and the client) and group policies have been applied.

  Without VMware tools, everything was fine.

  After some additional debugging I discovered that the ESXi (4.1) server was not configured with a valid NTP server and the host time was 10 minutes behind. However, as time synchronization between the guest OS and the ESX host has been disabled in VMware tools, I couldn't imagine it was really the cause of the problem. But strangely it turned out that this was indeed the case! At every Windows startup time has been at the time of the host ESX - but only for a few seconds. This can be seen in the attached photo: initially, there are guest operating system time, and then you see the jump both ESX and then jump back to the guest operating system.

  Why does this happen? Hard, I could solve the problem in the first place by configuring the NTP server on the host, I would like to know why VMware tools change the time of the guest OS, even if it is disabled!

  Thank you

  When he put the VM must draw from somewhere and since the AI network time form more that probably not started it must draw from the host, but once the networking appears he died in the NTP source - that's why it is recommended to configure your ESXi (and ESX) to synchronize the time with NTP source.

• Questions about connecting to a host ESX 3.5 to vCenter 4.1

  I need to migrate 7 hosts 3.5.x ESX ESX 4.1. I did not have a test environment and will work with live on committed production systems (not clustered). vCenter 4.1 and two new 4.1 ESX hosts have been configured to handle live Vmotion (cluster will come later). I activated the license point server towards the old VirtualCenter 2.5 in the hope of being able to disconnect a host ESX 3.5 live the old virtualcenter and reconnect to the new vCenter 4.1 without rebooting the host ESX 3.5. VUM is not an option at the present time, so I intend to do a full install base upgrade.

  (1) I know that I can disconnect the ESX 3.5 server the old virtualcenter without problem. My first question is, if I try to join the new vCenter (config pointing to the old license server) box of 3.5 will be vCenter 4.1 need to install the new management agent in the box of 3.5 and therefore require the host restarts?

  (2) if the agent of 4.1 management is not installed on the host ESX 3.5, its virtual machines can be migrated (cold) to one of the new servers?

  I should add that the licenses are not a problem, we are migrating to the latest keys but have sufficient old licenses to manage the transition. The VMs are on SAN LUNs that are visible to guests old and new.

  Especially, I want to know what to expect through are exactly what will to restart is required and have not been able to locate that particular point.

  Thanks in advance.

  When we went from 3.5 to vSphere, is that big of a deal.  Just disconnected the vCenter server host and updated the vCenter keeping the existing license server, and then re-attached to the new Victoria Cross.  It will establish links with the new 4.1 software, but it shouldn't require a reboot at all.  I did mine with all virtual machines out of it, but I think you can do all this live... Since a little while I did this upgrade

• vCentre Server on a host ESX in HA...

  Hi... I'm still beginner on this platfrm... wanted to know if vCentre Server 4 can be installated practically on a host ESX 4 or not... and if the same ESX host may be part of the band HA.

  In this case, what happens if the HOST fails... will the vCentre also circulate and work normally at different of the box as the other guests or we might face problem...?

  Thanks in advance for the answer...

  UPG

  Hi upg3,

  In terms of HA - even if it is configured by VC - he is actally managed by the animators themselves (it is re-brand aam of legato...), so the guests themselves can manage failover - even in the case of a lost VC.

  Take a look at your environment with cluster parameters. HA VM restarting priority.  You will need to take a look at your environment and train yourself that restart works to order for you, for example in my environment we also have physical DC and DNS, so it is not as important for them to come before VC.   If you have a VM SQL backend for VC - obviously happen before VC itself...  AV and Citrix etc - well, it's up to you!

  While looking to HA - take a look at the affinity setting VM for your DNS and DCs VM servers if you think it is suitable...

• What is the best way to update a single host ESX 3.5?

  We run a single host ESX Infrastructure 3.5 Update 1. Virtual machines stored on local disks. All management is done by customer VI, there is no available vCenter.

  I want to update the host ESX 3.5 Update 4. What is the best way to achieve this?

  Download ISO: http://www.vmware.com/download/download.do?downloadGroup=ESX350U4 and burn it to a CD

  Stop your virtual machines

  Restart your ESX and boot from the CD

  perform an upgrade of the ESX Server

• Host esx license problem substituting

  Hi all

  I have a problem when I try to replace it by an esx host.

  We have a total of 20 under license issued, 19 in use (9 esx host have 2 cpu, 1 esx host has 1 cpu).

  To add a new host esx (I'll call esx11), I had to unplug and remove a host of VIC (I'll call esx01).

  The result is that esx11 is "unlicensed" and if I make a 'survey of status' using license server tools (FYI License Server is installed on Virtual Center), it always reports as licensed hospitality that I disconnected (esx01).

  Any ideas?

  Thank you in advance.

  PIO Massaro

  just because you disconnect will not remove the license.  You must go to the ESX host, under the configuration tab and the features under license.  Change your license source.

• How to remove the host esx 3.5 virtual Center

  Can't find info on how to do to remove the host esx virtual center.

  How to do?

  THX.

  Right-click on your host in the left pane and click Disconnect and then once it is disconnected you can right click on the host again and click on Remove and which removes the host to vCenter.
