How to remove ESXi host of Distributed Switch

3 Cluster DRS - 1 x physical, 2 nested nodes in a LAB environment

I need to downgrade a 6.0 U2 ESXi host and replace it (from ESXi nested in Physics). I am trying to remove the host from a distributed switch, but it seems that I can't do that until I remove it from the Distributed Switch. I can't remove the VMkernel group management ports that prevents me to remove the host from the Distributed Switch. Any suggestions? I guess that I need that migrate to a Standard switch first?

I am connected to the ESXi host through vSphere Client, migrated the group management to a Standard switch ports, then I was able to clear the host of the distributed switch. I could then remove the host from the Cluster.

  • How can I make new vNetwork Distributed Switch active?

    When right click on data center to create the new vNetwork Distributed Switch, the menu is not able (gray color). How can I make new vNetwork Distributed Switch active?

    Thank you!

    George

    To use vNetwork Distributed Switch, you need the license of vSphere Enterprise Plus.  Another version of vSphere does not include this feature.  You also need a vCenter Server license.

  • Site of a host and distributed switches

    A number of geographic sites is under a vCenter Server.  Each of them have their own switches distributed, that connect to vCenter over the WAN.  It works very well.  However in a site, there is only a single ESXi host.  In this case, I'm not standardize the configuration of this host with other hosts in the cluster.  I create a dependency on the WAN for the switch to be managed by vCenter Server, because I can't handle the switch by connecting directly to the ESXi host, as I could with a standard past.

    One of the advantages of a vDS would be that I could add more hosts, and then have a standard configuration. However no future growth is expected for this site right now.

    Another advantage is that I could use the NIOC and the load based on grouping.  For now, bonds rising physical network of 2 x 10 GB are very underused, even under load max - probably less than 3%.

    The license is already here, it is not extra cost.

    Is there a compelling reason to use or not use vDS in this scenario?  Thoughts, experiences, suggestions?

    Evening,

    I would sound that there is simply no reason not to use the vDS.  Reasons to not use it have been elminated.

    -> Cost

    -> Experience

    -> Used to have is not local for recovery situations

    All you have left is bonus good reasons for using the vDS.

    Just my two cents.

    Thank you

  • How to remove Cluster hosts in vCenter

    We have a VMware vCenter 5.5 license that is about to expire, and while we re-new the vCenter license, I have to take all the VMS that are associated with a group called:

    Orlando (site) > staging (cluster) > 10.1.1.13 (home) > testbox1 (vm)

    I need to remove the (host) (cluster) above. I can do this by typing "Mode of Maintenance", which then moves the (vm) to another host in the staging (cluster). Problem is when I go out "Maintenance Mode", (pole) is placed in staging and the virtual computer is moved to the staging (cluster) > 10.1.1.13 (host). This is NOT what I want. I want to delete all hosts in staging (clutser) independently in vCenter before my vCenter license expires.

    Can anyone please explain or help me do this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Carlos,

    Hope that you use the web client.

    Basically, the question is, you must remove a host in a cluster have DRS and HA.  To remove a HOST

    Put the HOST in maintenance mode - > check all VM's was able to move to another HOST, then right-click and disconnect, finally right click and delete.

    If you need to keep the virtual machine to the same physical host and you have properly configured a standard switch.

    Click with the right button on the cluster and DRS recommendation opt for manual. maintenance mode, then right click and then disconnect, finally just right-click and delete.

    hope this helps you.

  • Remove ESXi hosts to vCenter Cluster host even

    Hi all. Depending on the subject, I would like to remove the host from an old Cluster vCenter which is no longer accessible because the database is damaged. Unfortunately I can not not to restore it because my predecessor scheduled backups. How can I do? Thank you all in advance for your answer.

    All the information you have provided, I suppose there could be something in the ADAM database, which must be deleted / reset.

    The assignment of license keys is stored in the ADAM database (rather than in the vCenter Server database) and with the new installation of server vCenter on the same host (old) this may not have been reset. Please take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1015268 to see if this KB will help resolve the issue.

  • How to reach esxi host 5 on storage area network

    I have a Dell PS6000E on my network.  I would like to create a volume on it and use it as a shared storage for a new configuration of esxi5 with 2 hosts.  The PS6000 already contains 2 volumes in use by other servers (physical).  To access the PS6000 via my regular local network hosts.  Is this possible, and is there a documentation on how to put in place?

    Thank you

    Welcome to the community - I guess you access the PS6000E are configured for iSCSI or NAS/NFS, you will be able to access as shared storage long ESXi hosts can reach the unit. Because ESXi hosts will not be able to share the LUNS in use by other servers, you're going to create a new LUN for ESXi hosts. This storage of ESXi - http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-50-storage-guide.pdf - guide that has information on how to configure your ESXi servers to access the storage.

  • How to remove Virus host SVC

    I recently downloaded something that my c:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe file infected. AVG notice, but does nothing. It disables Windows Defender, and I'm unable to turn it back on. Malware Removal Tool MS does not either. During this time I get popups of AVG telling me that it is there and waiting for me to hit a wrong key. Everything I googled is old in the life of the computer, and I was wondering if anyone has recently had similar problems, and what I can do about it. Everyone I ask myself is "in the loop" all have different answers. Thank you.
