• VCenter Server with VMWare ESXi free 5 5

  Hi all

  Test the VCenter Server 5 Evaluation (60 day trial) to management all my 5 of VMWare ESXi (free license). It works with restrictions. These restrictions aren´t a problem for me. I need only to move (power off of virtual machines), clone, create templates for and organize my servers in a single interface VSphere Client. So, I would like to know what type of license of VCenter Server 5 woks if VMWare ESXi 5 free. Buy the VCenter Server 5 Standard?

  Another doubt is if VStorage works with VMWare ESXi free license I.

  Best regards

  Fabio Sobral

  Unfortunately the free ESXi hosts in vCenter management is not possible (except for the eval). The hosts of ESXi need a vCenter Server Agent license that is only available in editions 'paid' of ESXi.

• How can I create nested VMware ESXi in vCloud 5.5

  Hello

  I how can I create a VM ESXi nested within vCloud 5.5.

  I followed the instructions below, but it does not appear as an OS selected in the database, it creates only an option, but the drop-down list displays the 'other' os.

  http://basraayman.com/2012/03/01/enabling-nested-64-bit-virtual-hosts-on-vCloud-Director-1-5-using-MSSQL/

  Kind regards!

  I just stumbled upon this problem sort of.  I had it working in 5.1 vcloud, but upgrading to vcloud 5.5 caused all sorts of havoc.

  Looks like vCloud 5.5 added a drop down for the esx hosts in the family of the 'other', but it does not appear when you create a virtual machine, you must create it with some other reviews and then change the properties of the vm created for select esx guest.

  If you have added the SQL statements from this link, it will completely break vCloud because there will be two entries in the database for esx and he complain of a unique key.  You must change the database and remove what you added in the link above.  The tables are guest_os_type and guest_osfamily.

  Good luck!

• How can I clone a vmware ESXi machine?

  Hello

  I have ESXi server. I use VSphere Client to connect to the VCenter server. I can see that the clone option is available in VCenter Server.

  I use VIX API for instant cash, copy the data in the comments, run the program in prompt etc. But the Clone operation is not supported in VIX API. My host computer has windows, and I use Visual c# to call the VIX API.

  How can I create linked clone since I can't use the CLone of VIX API function? I want to create the clone of the development machine, when I run my c# code. I'm not interested in running the scripts in VCenter directly.

  If you are new to VMware APIs/SDKs, please take a look at this documentation - getting started with vSphere SDK - Update for SDK 4.1 release

  There are various SDK which binds to the vSphere API, exposed as a web services standard. Depending on your requirement/comfort and language, you select the appropriate SDK. Once again, all that which is described in getting started document, would certainly recommend that spend you the time to read the document before you start.

• VMWare ESXi 4 as a file server?

  Hello

  Got a server on VMWare ESXi 4, currently with a virtual more to come Linux machine.

  My goal is to use the server as a server from file/place of storage within the network of the company but also to test the environment (this is what I need several virtual machines for).

  My question is: is it possible to use ESXi 4 as a file server separately from the installed virtual machines? Or do I have to use one of the virtual machines as a storage place? If Yes, is there some way I can connect to this storage place WITHOUT using VMWare vSphere (that I currently use to manage the server)? Say, add network drive from Windows on the desktop.

  Those who resembles a fundamental questions for me however I am quite newbie here so I'm not really sure what can be done

  See you soon

  Hello, welcome to the forum

  As far as I KNOW, no, you cannot use VMware ESXi itself as a storage/file server.

  You must use VM in it and this VM should get this service to another customer.

  So you want to use this host (ESXi) as your test environment (put some VM on it to test it), you should pay attention to your bandwidth and the e/s, may be the test VM needs a lot of bandwidth or i/o and if your host may not respond to all virtual machines must (file server and test virtual machines) you will see a low performance.

  If I'm missing something; Please correct me, thank you.

• VMware esxi 5.0: Samba datastore

  Hello

  After searching for a thousand and one ways I found no results for my problem.

  Let me explain:

  I recently bought from Dell a server on vmware esxi 5.0.

  My virtualization works wonderfully well and I have no worries about the virtualization itself.

  Given the cost of the server I preferred a server with little storage... And now everything works fine I heard 'need' more storage (Miss near 100 go).

  I have a server iomega Linux ubuntu 11.02 with more than 1 TB of storage. That had more but accurate, so I decided to use it as storage type NAS dedicated only to my virtualization.

  It is configured so that it is accessible to all (public mode). It is visible from any position, it is on Linux or on Windows. I have the opportunity (in any position) to create/delete/run the files it contains.

  Ook, impossible pour me to make this server a data store. :/

  Indeed after searching for tutorials on the Internet I don't have until then not found solution...

  Apart from "http://www.tuto-it.fr/ESXDatastore.php." When I get to select my server (IP put) I don't have to worry about this one is clearly visible. However I don't have a 'target' (target) available in what makes me unable to create a new LUN disk on this famous server.

  I ask myself several questions:

  1. is my request possible?

  2 samba is he took into account by Vmware as a NAS Server?

  3. a more advanced version of the it takes VMware pour UTI UN datastore 'distant '?

  4. should I use another operating system and/or USE another software for sharing?

  Someone would have it an idea pour me troubleshoot?

  I thank in advance anyone willing to give me some advice.

  [EDIT]

  I also could find attached 'http://www.vclouds.nl/2012/06/24/building-my-superfast-home-storage-with-nexenta-ce/' but this one speaks of "Nexenta. Therefore, pour me possible to a server from a data store. Remains to be seen how! :-(

  Hello

  Pour you could mount a store of data that Linux server on your infra vSphere, it takes you to introduce United Nations either NFS or iSCSI volumes.

  A the of my opinion, simpler and faster is that you turn to the NFS, just have to be careful to set the right parameters pour export.

  Keep us updated,.

• R710/R720 - Dell customized Image of VMware ESXi 5.5 Update 2 - megaraid_sas version specific?

  That I improve a R710 and two v5.5 (Dell image) to v5.5 U2 ESXi ESXi R720 using the image of Dell here:

  www.dell.com/.../DriversDetails

  The documentation "Upgrade Guide to ESXi 5.5 using Dell customized Image" here:

  www.Dell.com/.../manuals

  indicates that a specific version of the megaraid_sas driver must be installed.

  Is the version megaraid_sas that installs with the image of Dell U2 v5.5 not the right version?

  I just ran the upgrade on a R710 and it's the megaraid_sas version installed:

  ~ # vmkload_mod s megaraid_sas | grep Version
  Version: Version 06.803.73.00, build: 1331820, Interface: 9.2 inspired: August 22, 2014

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It lists the R720 and R710 systems supported and both link to the same page, so the customized version is the same for both servers. Is the version listed in the reference guide for A02

  megaraid_sas - 06.803.73.00

  Page 5 ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_software/esuprt_virt_solutions/vmware-esxi-5_Reference%20Guide6_en-us.pdf

  This is the same version that he shows for your installation on the R710 so that seems correct.

• IP address of management VMWare ESXi 4.0.0 decline in traffic

  I have a new HP DL380 G6 server, install VMWare ESXi 4.0 with HP customizations, fresh and is having trouble with the IP address of management only.

  This server has 4 NETWORK ports in it, and initially tried to add all 4 ports shared resources to ESXi. But then I ran into problems with the vSphere Client and he loses communication with the ESXi server. So, I tried to set up just 1 NIC port dedicated to the management with no network VLAN. It has a static IP address. I tried swapping network cables, check the switch port settings, etc..

  Funny is that the machine on that host virtual all work very well and respond well to network traffic.

  Also, I tried to update the firmware on the HP and NIC server without any change in improving. I lose about 40% of the traffic on the ip address of management and some problems when I need to manage this server. Yet once the VM seems to work well. If I reset the management interface to the management of the t server comes back and starts to work immediately. But, given a short while she appears to hang for 5 minutes and then starts working again.

  Any suggestions?

  I think that there is some confusion on the wording.

  When you talk about "Routing" on a HP Procurve, actually in comparison "Etherchannel" on a Cisco switch. And when you speak of a 'trunk' port on a Cisco switch, it is called a 'marked port' on the Procurve software.

  From what you write, I assume you are using a Procurve and created a trunk for aggregation of links. In this case, you will need to define the strategy of virtual switch to "Route based on the IP hash" as already mentioned AndreTheGiant.

  However, I would suggest leave you politics vSwitch failing "Route based on the virtual origin of switch port code" and set the physical switch ports 'labelled' (or 'trunk' for Cisco). In this way, you can configure them VLAN on groups of virtual ports and uplinks attached to this vSwitch are affected alternating.

• VCenter Server first to 5.5.0U3b update and later update of VMware ESXi ESX / will I have problems?

  Hello

  have trouble when I first updated my signature single vCenter Server and later update my vSphere hosts?

  A vCenter Server Version 5.5.0U3b should be able to manage vSphere Host Version 5.5.0 GA, right?

  Kind regards

  Roland

  The vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 b can manage VMware ESXi ESX release GA to 5.5 5.5 update 3 b, take a look: VMware product interoperability Matrices

  BUT, according to the interoperability matrices and vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 release notes, VMware strongly recommends you upgrade your hosts to 5.5 update 3 b, see:

  What's new

  • Update Support for the SSLv3 Protocol is disabled by default
    Note: In your vSphere environment, you must update vCenter Server vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 b before the update to 5.5 ESXi ESXi update 3 b. vCenter Server will not be able to manage 3B ESXi 5.5 update, if you update ESXi before update vCenter Server to version 5.5 update 3 b. For more information about the sequence in which vSphere environments must be updated, see KB 2057795.

  • VMware strongly recommends you update ESXi hosts to ESXi 5.5 update 3 b management of vCenter Server 5.5 updated 3B.

  VMware does not recommend the reactivation of SSLv3 because of the vulnerability of POODLE. If all you must enable SSLv3, you must activate the SSLv3 Protocol for all components. For more information, see

  A router (Modem, with the public IP address) is directly connected to the VMware computer (the first NETWORK adapter), and then the VMWare (second NETWORK card) connects to a switch where other LAN PC also connects to.

  My question is,

  1. from BrightMail runs on top of the

  the observed range, vmnic0 resembles your DMZ LAN and vmnic1 is your LAN (172.x.x.x) you can check you have the right cable to the correct port?

  then you are supposed not combined two NICs in a single portgroup. you will need to do vmnic0 as a new vswitch with new portgroup named DMZ Lan and change that in the virtual network adapter machine virtual 2 to use the DMZ LAN as the virtual switch.

• I installed VMware ESXi on my Cisco's UCS server but after that I don't get from CIMC.

  I installed VMware ESXi on my Cisco's UCS server but after that I don't get from CIMC. also, I am unable to ping the address IP of CIMC. Any help?

  I think that MMIC does nothing with your ESXi installation... it is OoB management for servers of the UCS.

  Check your config MMIC inside the BIOS again.
