  You can schedule the reboot of the ESXi host using PowerCLI.

  Install the PowerShell and PowerCLI module on any Windows System.

  PowerCLI start programs

  or, you can run the commands below on PowerCLI prompt to test.

  Then save it the script to run as the specific annex filename.ps1 and Windows Task Scheduler.

  SE connect-VIServer vlab-esxi2 - root username - password "password".

  $vms = get - vm | where {$_.} PowerState - eq "Receptor"}

  foreach ($vm in $vms) {Shutdown-VMGuest - VM $vm - confirm: $false}

• How to use more than 5 esxi hosts?

  If I try to use more than 5 guests esxi, that io parser gives a hint to use an other Analyzer io controller VM.

  So does that mean I have to use two io parser controller vms, i.e. to two Web sites that are not in sync?

  Page 6 of the IO parser guide:

  Maximum Configuration Analyzer of e/s

  Analyzer IO 1.5.1 has been tested up to the following configurations:

  With up to 128 worker virtual machines per ESX/ESXi host.

  With up to five ESX/ESXi hosts by controller i/o parser VM.

  To run the Analyzer of i/o tests with more than five ESX/ESXi hosts, we recommend using several VMs controller.

  Yes, you can use several controller - VMs

• Remove data for a downgraded ESXi host syslog collector?

  Hello

  We already put out of service an ESXi 5 host in the cluster.

  However, network Syslog Collector, the host still appears with the hostname / IP address and the size of the log (about 18 MB).

  We would like to seek your advice on how to remove this entry to ESXi host Syslog collector Page.  Should I restart the service "VMware vSphere Syslog Collector" on vCenter Server?

  Thank you

  Post edited by: TonyJK

  If the server esxi already downgraded in judgment of sate, then you can delete the syslog file (in vcenter) to as esxi. If the underwater ESXI still running, you can disable forewall port for syslog (even if you can remove the host name of the syslog setting advanced collector.)

• Allowing access to ESXi host to other subnets

  Hi all

  I use the free version of ESXi and it is in course running on the network. 10.32.125.x I noticed that if I try to connect to the host via the Client vSphere from another network, such as 10.32.126.x, I can't.  I can't ping or SSH host either form the 10.32.126.x network.  All right if I'm on the 10.32.125.x network, which is the same network that the server is running on (10.32.125.63 is the IP host address).  I can access services on thin virtual machines from other networks, just not the ESXi host itself.

  Any ideas of how I can allow access of networks other than that on which lives on ESXi?

  Thank you

  Hello

• 5.1 ESXi host is showing that does not

  Hi all

  We are to vCenter 5.5 with Environment 5.1 ESXi hosts. On one of our ESXi hosts, we sometimes get to see 5.1 ESXi, (build 799733) host is not responding and the virtual machines on this subject are displayed as status disconnected at the end of their names.

  When this happens, we are able to ping on the ESXi host and virtual machines are also able to ping / react to what is good, but he continues to be on different hosts at different times, all what I do when this occurs is to try to reconnect on the ESXi host and it connects fine and machines virtual hosting on she will return to the State normal and everything will be normal on this host. I want to understand why this is happening at different times and on different hosts of ESXi and ensure that this should not happen again in the future or find the before root cause is even worse.

  so, could someone please look at this and let me know where to start troubleshooting this to find the root cause.

  Thanks in advance

  Your vCenter and ESXi host is on the same subnet? In any case, I recommend you take a look at this article and apply the patch suggested: VMware KB: hosts ESXi and ESX disconnect randomly VMware vCenter Server

• 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 extend a drive with createType = "vmfs" and ddb.adapterType = "buslogic".

  Hi VMware experts.

  You need help to solve a problem.

  I sda.vmdk the file next to the vmdk descriptor and the sda flat, the hard file

  Disk DescriptorFile

  version = 1

  Encoding = 'UTF-8 '.

  CID = 1eed866e

  parentCID = ffffffff

  isNativeSnapshot = 'no '.

  createType = "vmfs".

  # Description of the measure

  RW 2097152 VMFS "sda - flat hard."

  # The database disk

  #DDB

  ddb.adapterType = "buslogic".

  DDB. Geometry.sectors = "32".

  DDB. Geometry.Heads = "128".

  DDB. Geometry.Cylinders = '512 '.

  DDB. UUID = '60 00 C2 9 d 4 b 04 74 e0 - cd bf being 7th e3 7 d f1 c5'

  ddb.longContentID = "4270b56ea10a34306eb588651eed866e".

  ddb.virtualHWVersion = '8 '.

  The sda-apartment has two partitions linux below

  Sda - flat hard disk: 0 MB, 0 bytes

  Heads of 34, 61 sectors/track, 0 cylinders

  Units = cylinders of 2074 * 512 = 1061888 bytes

  SDA - flat .vmdk4 1 2 2043 83 Linux

  Partition table entries are not in the order of disc

  Can you please how can I resize this disc. Also, I'm confused about the disparity between the hard disk geometry information in the descriptor vmdk file and the output of the fdisk.

  Concerns

  Ivan

  I always used to gparted to expand the vdisk, I don't think that you can recreate the partition as it already of the filesystems on it.  You will have to destroy the current partition and recreate if necessary.  Be very careful because this could result in loss of data.

  Is there a reason you want to recreate rather than simply extend your existing partition?

• How to get the material status of ESXi host of external surveillance system?

  Hello!

  Hello

  the link that I commented, explian how to monitor the status of the ESXi hardware by using the cmdlets for powershell CIM 3.0.

  This, will you?

  Check this code from the link, you should notice that connects to an esxi host, not virtual machines:
