Install new ESX hosts.  Cannot Ping.

• New ESX host cannot see SAN fiber - Clariion

  Hello

  I spent about two hours, passing through communities and have tried various things without success... basically, I have a new ESX host that I've built, configured, and networked, but I can't see our existing SAN.

  The SAN is a Clariion CX3 - 10 c and it hosts all of our existing VMs (we currently have two hosts attached to the SAN)

  I have installed the CLI and Navisphere agent on the new host

  I have started to host and that you have ENABLED the two adapters Emulex HBA (host contains two HBAs installed) because they showed as disabled by default BIOS

  I have one of the HBAs connected to the fibre switch

  On the fibre switch, I have a flickering green light where I plugged the fiber cable, which makes me think, it is connected OK

  On the HBA, I have a green light and an orange light blink, which still makes me think the wiring is correct

  BUT I do not see the front Navisphere host, and the host cannot see all storage even after re-reading.

  Any ideas what to try next? I suspect that it is perhaps something to do with zoning - I must say the Emulex HBA how to find storage processors? If so, how can I go about it? From the BIOS by restarting the host and pressing ALT - E?

  Any help or advice appreciated...

  Assuming that hard zoning this site should provide you with some

  Also once the switch is zoned if the host is not listed on

  the Clariion Navisphere agent system has a config file that needs to be updated

  with the IP addresses of the SPs.

  You can also manually enter the host if necessary, but your

• ESX host cannot ping the default gateway.

  Hi Experts,

  I have connected ESX hosts to switch cisco as well by the ILO and other ports.

  Cisco switch configuration;

  int gig 1/0/21 and 1/0/13 gig and gig 1/0/14 are configured as access ports because they are carriers/tagging vLan as a 306.

  Cisco switch, I can ping the ip address of the ILO, but I can't ping the IP address management and vice versa.

  IP Managment

  10.197.204.10

  255.255.255.0

  10.197.204.1

  VLAN 306

  Attached the screenshot shown in the diagram.

  your help will be appreciated.

  Concerning

  Don't know what it is, but there must be something simple that you miss

  Let's go through each step of configuration for both ESXi network connections (ILO work already, so we do not touch).

  Check the configuration of switch port physical interface GigabitEthernet1/0/13 and 1/0/14.

  switchport access vlan 306

  switchport mode access

  spanning tree portfast

  Only connect the cable network for vmnic0 to host and make sure what vmnic0 presents itself as 'connected' in the DCUI

  

  Make sure the VLAN ID is empty.

  

  Make sure you then the IP settings are correct (IE without typos,...) and restart the management network from the main menu.

• Disconnected ESX host cannot add to the CR

  It started with me being unable to power on a virtual machine that I created because of "Insufficient resources to meet the level of failover configured for HA" which is great because that's how to configure HA.  I tried to reconfigure the AP to the host by double-clicking on the host and select this option.  Once I did that it failed about 30% with "an error has occurred while setting up the HA Agent on the host" and the networking page disappeared from the configuration tab similar to what a lot of people reported during the upgrade, I think an earlier version.  This is not the case, I did not update anything.  Then I restarted service service mgmt-vmware restart and the ESX host disconnected from the VC altogether.  I can't use the VI client to connect to the host in question, but I am connected via the service console. All VM and the host not to requests ping and everything works. I've disabled HA and DRS and tried to add new ESX host that has not worked.

  Any help is appreciated.  Thank you.

  I found this article that has the same symptoms as you.

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=1004451

  Check if your esx.conf file is corrupted. Follow the directions in the KB article to restore or recreate.

• After that stright connected to iSCSI (initiator) Host cannot ping the server iSCSI (target), but the target can, why?

  After that host on vSHere 4.0 strightly connected to iSCSI (initiator) host cannot ping the server iSCSI (target), but target can.  And iSCSI works well. I mean I can create and use the iSCSI disk, why? It makes me confused.

  Thank you!

  Geoarge,

  iSCSI traffic uses a VMkernel port, instead of using the command 'ping', use 'vmkping '.

• The host cannot ping

  Hello

  I can't reach my host. What could be the problem?

  I am using Vmware Server 2.0.1 Build 156745

  Host: Windows XP Professional sp2

  IP:192.168.146.1 host (vmnet1)

  Hardware: Computer laptop Dell 630

  Comments: Linux

  CentOS 2.16.0

  GuestIP:192.168.146.120

  Comments cannot ping the host

  Host cannot ping the prompt

  I tried to configure the nat and the host only to connect. Nat could also be able to reach the external pages.

  I appreciate any ideas

  Is the fixed prompt on DHCP or IP?

  What network cards do you have on the host and bridged (vmnetcfg.exe run as administrator)?

  Is the physical card on the guest living/connected - sometimes to the life of a card NETWORK disconnected will no connectivity in the guest?

  Have you recently changed the VMware network in the host? If so, you will need to restart the VMware services or reboot the host.

  Is there a firewall clutter it?

  Is the card NETWORK connected to the prompt - it shouldn't be a red cross on the network icon in the list of the material in the center of the console pane when the virtual machine is selected in the left pane?

  The MAC address or virtual and physical adapters in the host and the single guest, that is not duplicated?

  If all this pans, can be helpful to remove the NETWORK card in the prompt and add a. Also, what type of NETWORK adapter is it in the guest - 'flexible' or 'e1000 '? Should be 'flexible' for Linux - post (tie) the .vmx doubt customers.

• VM management host cannot ping gateway or switch

  Hello

  
  We have a server Esx 5.0 with 3 vm on it. When I try to ping the management network of vm for my pc that I do not get an answer too trying to ping from the vmn console I can not ping to the gateway, but I can ping dns. However, I can rdp in vm servers and the ping to the gateway of each server, as well as newspapers in vsphere. We have a system with 2 voip VLAN, the other data and another for voice. Hosts and servers are all on the same cisco switch.

  VM management network

  IP - 192.168.1.6

  Sub - 255.255.255.0

  GW - 192.168.1.1

  DNS - 192.168.1.10

  Cisco switch - 192.168.1.3

  Data Vlan - 192.168.1.1

  Firewall - 192.168.1.2

  PC

  -cannot ping 192.168.1.6

  -can ping everything else

  From the console network management

  -cannot ping 192.168.1.1 a.3 or any pc

  -can ping 192.168.1.10

  It sounds like a switch problem but do not know how to fix it. The switch is a switch of cisco small business pro 8 ports

  Make sure that your routing has L3 to a defined network to get traffic to your host (192.168.1.0/24) network to any network it seeks to achieve. You did not show what the subnet for the PCs are so I'm not sure that the network is.

  Regarding the gateway ping, make sure that the echo ICMP message is enabled by the firewall so that ping responses can go to the host. If you still cannot ping the gateway with that on, there may be a larger problem with your connectivity.

• Mobile vcenter server in existing farm to new esx host

  Scenario of

  2 ESX host running version 3.

  1 ESX host running version 4

  New vm on vcenter server machine within the current cluster

  Existing vcenter server is a physical machine.

  How can I move my existing to my new host ESX cluster virtual vcenter server.

  In your original description I though you said "Existing vcenter server is physical machine" - so you say your vCenter server is already virtualized? If they are all machines - the esx3 2 and 4 1 under this environment vCenter esx execution? They share a common network for vMotion? Are you running vCenter 4?  If all this is true, you should be able to vMotion between ESX hosts - if they are not part of a commune vCenter environment but share common storage that Yes, you can simply turn off the virtual machine remove it form the inventory of existing cluster and then using the browser of data store to find the vmx file and add it to the inventory of the new server =

• After installing new ink cartridge cannot print from ipad hp 5510 series

  Unable to print from the iPad after installing new ink cartridge in a printer hp 5510.

  I can print from the laptop based on windows.

  the two settled on a wireless router.

  Help!

  (I reinstalled the software, reset the wireless, reset the computer, the hp 5519 is listed as the default printer.)

  Thanks for your reply. I did all these things and more... Finally observed that the IP address of the printer was 2 'off' the IP address of the iPad numbers.

  I've corrected the printer IP addy... and viola.

  IPad and laptop computer are once more compatible with the printer.

  Appreciate your message...

• Install new OS clean, "cannot find boostrap.lua".

  I am trying to create a deployment package for vmware workstation 10.0.4.

  I followed the instructions documented to retrieve install it and run the Setup file from command line with all switches.  However, we still get "cannot find bootstrap.lua" when tried to install it.

  It comes in two different freshly pictorial windows 7 x 64 workstations.  No other version of vmware have already been installed.

  I checked the checksums and they match.  I can't find a solution.

  I can run the installation with the msi file, but it does not accept the product key from the command line.  I can run workstation after installation, but I have to manually enter the product key.  It's not ideal for a deployment package.

  Does anyone have other ideas?

  Thank you

  Since I have had no need to deploy VMware Workstation in this way I can't really offer much unless I lived the steps myself and I don't have the time but I didn't offer workaround storable to avoid having manually enter them the product key.  I assume that you are using an installation kind of scripted in which you might be able to add the following, or do it from an administrator: command prompt.  If you run a script, you may be able to use in conjunction with the runas command if the script is not running with administrative privileges.

  "C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Workstation\x64\vmware - vmx"-new-sn-1A2B3-C4D5E-6F7G8-H9I0J-1K2L3M

  Of course replace the fake product key in the example with your legitimate product key.

• Comments can ping host, but host cannot ping the prompt.

  Hello. I already asked this question in another discussion, but it has a different title, so I decided to ask my question in a new discussion.

  Host: Windows 7, 192.168.186.1, no gateway IP

  Client: Windows XP, 192.168.186.2, no gateway IP

  If the ping of the comments reached the host. But when I try to ping the host's comments, I get '100% packet loss. How it could be explained?

  I take a look at the Windows Firewall on computers and make sure that it is disabled.

• ESX host cannot see the data store

  Hello team, I have vcenter management 5 2 host esxi5. now added an esxi4 in the cluster and added iniitators for file systems. I can see the paths under this host of esx4 showing the LUN of the registrants. but I'm not able to see the data to store. When I tried to edit a newly created virtual machine to find the iso from the data store, it shows only the local hard disk of the host, which is a UCS blade. exsi5 hosts the two ok to see all data stores. can someone tell which part is wrong? Thank you!

  Looks like there is no problem with the presentation of the logic unit number since you can see the path to the LUN from the host.

  Is - these created data VMFS storages are 50 ESXi? If so, the VMFS version 5 (VMFS 5) which is not supported in ESXi 4.1.

  In this case, its expected that the host ESXi 4.1 will not show VMFS5 data warehouses.

• retired former host ESX 3.5 and you want to use the license for the new ESX 3.5host

  We put one of our ESX host out of service and will be replaced by a new ESX host.  I would like to use the license from the old host to the new host.  How do I do that?

  BY stopping the old host you have returned the licenses to the pool available and ready to be used by the new host.

• Host cannot see Local disk for VSANs

  Hello

  We are building our first host VSANs and fell at the first hurdle. Our host config is:

  IBM x 3650 m4 7915
  ServerRaid M5110e
  1 x 200GB SSD SATA
  1 x 600 GB 10 k SAS SSD
  IBM Vmware Hypervisor USB with 5.5 u1 image installed.

  The problem is that the esx host cannot see the 2 disks that are mounted. Lists under storage controller MegaRAID SAS merger adapters (not sure where he gets the name of merger of). When I click on the controller for 2 drives do not appear under devices or paths. If I go in to the RAID controller to start upward and configure drives individually to be RAID 0 then ESX sees the two discs, but unconsciously, cannot identify the Type of the SSD drive. I think that there is a work around that, but I know that's not ideal, and according to the vSAN HCL of the Raid Controller above supports passthrough. Get the pull-out hold to work turns out to be difficult, but I hope that it is just something simple, I missed. Someone at - it an idea where I should start looking?

  Thanks in advance.

  Thanks for the tip CHogan, it worked, but after reading the disadvantages of this method in your book "Essential Virtual SAN" I persisted for the pass-through to work on the raid controller.

  After some further research it turns out that I had to physically remove the RAID 1 GB Flash cache on the motherboard. In removing what it affects the RAID controller. He calls it. mode of TMI which allows for amp JBOD.

  Thanks to all for your responses.
