• How to check the ESXi 4 installation location?

  We have server ESXi 4.0 with 2 storage areas... I would check that it contains installation ESXi 4. How can I do this?

  Welcome to the VMware forums communities.  In the vSphere client, select Configuration > storage.  Select each data store, and then click Properties.  If you have ESXi installed on one of the LUNS, you'll see a bunch of partitions non-dos measuring device lists.

• How to determine the type of cell data in Excel file

  I have an Excel standard company file that must be read to determine which tests to run.  I have no control on its format.  I need to be able to tell what the data type is to be able to read using the example of LabView code.  It's a numbers hodge poge and channels.  Some numeric fields are formatted as hexagonal although some are floating point.  It doesn't seem to be a vi that I can call to determine information about the formatting of the cell.  As I remember, the control ActiveX in Windows to access Excel supports only.  I was really hoping to avoid dealing with Active X for Excel control directly.

  Any help/ideas?

  Display in CSV or similar is not an option.

  If you deal directly with Excel, I don't see how move you using Active X.

• How to upgrade an ESXi host from the command line

  Sorry for bumping an old thread. I'm new to ESXi. I'm under ESXi 5.5 build 1331820 and I am at a loss how to apply patches.

  Preferably, I would like to apply all the relevant patches through console (SSH). Can someone give me pointers how to do this? Thank you

  Moderator note (a.p.): branched to a new discussion of software patch to version 1331820?

  Welcome to the community,

  on how to patch a ESXi host from the command line, please see for example http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2008939

  Basically download you the latest hotfix package and install it using the command esxcli . That said, please make sure that your hardware is supported by the patch that you want to apply (see http://www.vmware.com/go/hcl). You can also do before installing the patch, is to do a "dry - run" to know what . VIBS are removed and which are installed by the patch. To do this add -dry - run to the esxcli command line.

  In the case where something goes wrong, you can revert to the previous state by pressing SHIFT-R , while the ESXi hosts begins the start-up.

• How to determine the version of ESXi

  Question:

  My vSphere client shows the ESXi host and 5.0.0 - < build number > - standard. If it's version, "U1" would be the U1 identifier in the summary, Image profile window general tab: value?

  I can very well be just looking at the answer but need a boost.

  Thanks, Patrick

  Hi, everyone-
  
  I try to install on RHEL 5.4 11.2.0.1.0 (64-bit). I have a total of 46G of memory.
  
  It is said that in the Oracle documentation:
  "The minimum required value for shmmax is 0.5 GB. However, Oracle recommends to set the value of shmmax 2.0 GB for optimal performance of the system. ».
  
  In the other docs it says it should be 50% of the total memory.
  
  Please advise!

• How to determine the number of highlight ' to write ' for DAQmx generate analog output?

  On the configuration of the stage for DAQmx generate analog output, there is a field "value to write.  I can't find any explanation for what it is, how it determines the value to enter, nor what he writes.  I am trying to go through the tutorials and it cling.

  Someone would give an explanation?

  Hello

  To write value specifies the value to write in the channels, lines or ports selected in string parameters. In other words, this value will be the value of your DC output (for example if you enter 5, your output will be 5V). To get information on different fields in SignalExpress, access help"context-sensitive help. A pane will appear in your work environment that displays the coordinates of the field when you place your pointer over them.

  For new users of SignalExpress:

  Generation of DC signals with NI DAQmx devices: step in the DAQmx build, select 1 sample (on request) in the generation Mode dropdown. You can select a programmatic input to generate, or you can remove the check mark from the check box use programmatic input and specify a value for generating in the field of value to write . NOR-DAQmx help also provides additional information about the data generation.

• Create new vCenter and move the ESXi hosts

  Hello

  I created a new vCenter vCenter apparatus using ISO 6.

  The deployment went well and I have all the installation program. I would now like to move hosts our old vCenter to new ESXi.

  I was reading this article to start the moving process.

  When I try to disconnect the host I get the message below

  

  In the article in the link above it is written that it will not affect the State of the virtual machine running on the host.

  If I click on 'Yes' here, it will automatically put the host in maintenance mode?

  I prefer not to do it if I can avoid it because I don't want to have to evacuate all virtual machines running on the esxi host.

  Wouldn't it be better if I disabled it HA first? Then try to move hosts? Or I'm sure to sign-out and the subsequent removal?

  Thank you

  See you soon

  Hello

  You must put your server in maintenance as a first step mode, then unplug and remove the server. It will work.

  If it doesn't work, disable temporary HA and remove your host of the VC.

• Help: The ESXi host has no persistent storage

  We have an ESXI 5.0 installed on our Dell server and we have some virtual machines running. suddenly, we had a mistake on Vsphere client.

  "EXSI host has no persistent storage.

  To run the virtual machine, create at least a data store for the maintenance of the machines virtual and other system files. »

  to resolve this problem, so we tried.

  On Vsphere client (connected to the ESXI)-> configuration-> storage-> rescan all... once the re-scanner has been done.

  We are able to see the file was mounted on the data store and it is lost in a minute. so it isn't permanently mounted to the data store to access the virtual machine.

  Once we do the re-scan once again, we saw that the file has been fitted to the data store and lost again.

  assemble and disassemble is to continue to switch.

  We need a solution to fix the problem, or in the worst case we need a way to recover the Esxi machine (VMS) data.

  Kindly share the reflections.

  It should be a disk error, it is local storage that tempt you and the virtual machine files are stored in the local disk

  don't forget to check the logs on the bit/ucs, regardless of the remote management tool, you use...

  Please check the log files and vobd.log vmkernel

• Is it possible to migrate ESXi host between data centers, if so please provide a brief not

  Hi friends,

  1. is it possible to migrate ESXi host between data centers, if so please provide a brief walking distance.

  2 can we perform vMotion and Storage vMotion while ESXi is turned on.

  3. is it possible to extend the VMDK disk while it integrates snapshots in it.

  Best regards,

  Sirot Vijay

  Yes the vmotion and svmotion works but one by one.

  1 - vmotion is posssible to power on State, but you can't svmotion the vm simultaneously. The storage will remain same

  2 svmotion is also possible to power on the State, but you cannot vmotion virtual machine simultaneously. the host will remain the same.

  3 vmotion and svmotion is possible together when the vm is off power. the host and storage can be changed simultaneously on this State.

• Find the ESXi hosts that aren't in clusters

  How can I find the ESXi hosts that are not in the groupings using powercli?

• Add the model mv directly from the ESXI host

  Hi gentlemen,

  I have a question:

  Is it possible to add a model from the ESXI host without using VCENTER?

  I browse to the data store and I select Add to the broom, but I get an error.

  Sort of to reach it without using VCENTER?

  The models are a unique feature of vcenter. You can try renaming the vm vmxt vmx file, this would allow to add the file as a virtual machine, not model.

  But anyway, you will not be able to use to deploy from model or the options you have for cela vcenter.

• List of ESXi host and data managing paths

  can someone help me with a script to list the ESXi host name, then their data management of path for each data store that they are connected to?

  Thank you

  MikeP

  Sorry, I thought you ment the other script.

  Try it like this

  Write-Host "Connecting to vCenter" $VCent = "10.2.160.250" Connect-VIServer $VCent -user user -password passwd $VMHosts = Get-VMHost | Sort-Object Name Disconnect-VIServer -Server $VCent -Confirm:$False 
  
  $report = @()
  
  ForEach ($VMHost in $VMHosts)
  {
      $HostName = $VMHost.Name
      Connect-VIServer $HostName -User root -password passwd    $esxcli = Get-EsxCli  -VMHost $HostName    $esxcli.corestorage.device.list() |
      where {$_.IsLocal -eq "false" -and $_.DeviceType -eq "Direct-Access" -and $_.MultipathPlugin -eq "NMP"} | %{
           $report += ($_ | Select @{N="Host";E={$hostName}},Device, MultipathPlugin)
      }
      Disconnect-VIServer -Server $HostName -Confirm:$False}
  
  $report | Export-Csv "C:\report.csv" -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
  

  You can try to change the Where clause to see all the plugins multipath.

      where {$_.IsLocal -eq "false" -and $_.DeviceType -eq "Direct-Access"} | %{
