• vCenter Server is a virtual machine, how can I update the host

  I have 2 guests in our environment, I have updated the host of the 2nd, but may not know how to upgrade the 1 host because vcenter server runs as a virtual machine on it. This has me thinking that I don't have the installation program as best as possible.

  Basically, we have 2 Guest boxes and a small box of DC. I don't really want to run vcenter on the dc area. What would be the best soltuong for our environment? Can I keep vcenter as a virtual machine? If Yes, how can I update the host it will run on?

  Thanks in advance everyone... Chris

  I was afraid of that say you that

  Well in this case you may need to update the host manually (see for example http://communities.vmware.com/people/vmroyale/blog/2011/09/15/updating-esxi-5--single-use-esxcli-how-to) even with the need to manually update the host on which vCenter Server is running, I would always run as a virtual machine. There is usually not that many updates.

• ESXi installation before vCenter Server?  How can I get vCenter Server on a virtual machine on ESXi servers?

  My plan for a new vSphere Essentials Plus 5.5 U2a installation is to have the vCenter Server on a virtual machine on the servers of the host on which is installed ESXi.  However, all the installation instructions I found indicate the user to first install the vCenter Server.  How can I get vCenter Server on a virtual machine on ESXi servers?

  Thank you for your help.

  Hi munkyman welcome to communities.

  After you have installed your first ESXi host, open a browser and go to https://your-ESXi-ip-or-FQDN

  You can download the vSphere Client here. It is a windows application that you can install on your desktop. It is often referred to as the "c# Client vSphere" in communities and blog posts, because it is a new implemented in the vCenter Server Web client.

  But for the beginning, install the vSphere Windows Client. You can then launch it and connect directly to your ESXi host. Here you can create your first virtual machine, which can be the VM vCenter (installation of Windows or device, that is you).

  You can use the web client or connect to the Server with the client c# vSphere vCenter VCenter runs.

• No network connection between the virtual machines on different hosts ESXi

  I have several 5.0 ESXi hosts in a cluster managed by vCenter Server 5 and I have network problems:

  1. [Host A] running a virtual machine can ping any other computer virtual running on the [host A] great!
  2. A virtual machine running on host [B] can ping any other virtual machine running on [B] home - very well!
  3. [host A] (from the ESXi console) can ping any virtual machine running on [B] home - even better!
  4. [B] home (from the ESXi console) can ping any virtual machine running [host A] - beautiful set!
  5. A virtual machine running [host A] can not ping any virtual computer running on host [B] and vice versa - bad, very bad!

  So basically the problem is that the virtual machines can communicate on hosts. It is a major problem that I need to fix, for obvious reasons.

  Networking on all hosts is configured exactly the same way: a unique and standard vSwitch with a pair of gigabit network cards grouped, vmkernels configured for the vMotion, NFS and network management and a group of ports configured for the VIRTUAL local area network used by the VMs. (vMotion works fine on hosts, storage vMotion works very well too.) All virtual machines are servers Windows (2003 and 2008).

  Reason #3 and #4 above, my assumption is that #5 must be the result of an ESXi/vCenter configuration issue and not a problem with the switches of material upstream. Is this a reasonable assumption?

  Whatever it is, can anyone offer suggestions on how can I fix? It is quite annoying as I'm pretty sure that these hosts are configured in the same manner as those of our production cluster, which does not at all these problems!

  Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.

  To be honest, it looks like a problem with your physical network-

  How is the physical network configured - are NIC connects it to the same physical switches? Are the virtual machines on the same subnet? If this is not the case, they are able to ping the gateway sbnet? Can you piing host IP address from the virtual machines?

  I also moved it to a forum more approiate.

• LaserJet P1505n printer: How can I change the host name to NPI1BDC68 to meaninful something more?

  My network, a HP LaserJet P1505n printer, host name is set to NPI1BDC68. Is this cable or is there a way for me to change? Trying to solve: manuals were reviewed, Forum questions were searched, google General search conducted. I am running Win XP and a Mac Pro with OS X 10.6.8.

  Well, which took me 10 minutes to solve.  I found the answer on a HP site based in France. (I kinda changed my google query and tried again.)  The site asks on first access, if you wish to continue in English, thankfully.  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01175001

  In short, use Internet Explorer or Safari, go to the IP address of your network printer.  For Win XP users, you can determine the IP address using, start/printers and faxes /(select printer)/properties/ports tab / select new/Configure button/second field printer port to down the IP address shown.

  Once connected to the network printer subsystem, select the Networking tab.  The host name is the first field which can be changed. Enter a new name from 1 to 15 characters.  Tip: He doesn't like spaces. Underscores work well and the new name can be mixed case. Press the button apply at the bottom of the screen when done.  Warning appears that access to the printer may need to be changed if the IP address has been changed.  Acknowledge the warning. Printer goes offline for a few seconds. The page automatically refreshes and the new host name can be confirmed by inspection.

• How can I connect the HOST PC COM port under cRIO 9074?

  I can't find any HOST PC COM port on my cRIO.

  I tried to use the global variable, but it was useless.  Is there a solution?

  And why should he?  A cRIO is really another computer.  You expect your PC to see serial ports to another PC on your network?  No, you wouldn't.

  If you really want the cRIO again the serial port of the PC communication, then you will have to apply on the PC that can communicate with the cRIO, usually over TCP/IP or network stream.

  You can try to add a repository to your local configuration as an sftp server that should start the process host key.

  The other way would seek to "show support information" in the screen DCUI ESXi. I see this page is changed when versions of server providers the VMware ESXi on measurement of images.

• How can I add a tag to a virtual machine?

  What is the best way to be part of an workflow add a label to a virtual machine? The closest I found is System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vc.customattribute").setOrCreateCustomField (), but given that the custom fields do not appear in the web client, I need a way to do the same with the tags in place.

  Unfortunately the vSphere API does not yet provide a way to create (vCenter) tags. The only way is to use the provided of the vCO powershell cmdlets.

• How to place a few virtual machines on a host ESXi 4?

  Hi guys, I have configuration 1 ESXi4 host with local 250 GB HARD drive to test the object.

  I intend to convert 3 physical servers with 300 GB HDD internal each but only 20 GB space each, totalling up to 60GB. How can I convert them and plae in the ost ESXi? Thank you.

  Rgds.

  Hi you must use the VMware Converter to perform the conversion from physical to virtual. While doing the conversion you can resize the size of the Partitions. Another product to perform the conversion is made by Vizioncore which can do the same thing. If your servers have all the tools of the vender installed; Reinstall the first after conversion and then install the VMware Tools.
