• How do you know what was the latest patch installed on VMware ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0 207095

  Hello guys,.

  I've been running an old server that was installed in a test system on workstation DELL - Optiplex GX620 (32 bit).

  During installation, I had to confirgure the file: /usr/lib/vmware/installer/Core/TargetFilter.py to change the following line:

  "interface returned. GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_IDE' as follows:

  "interface returned. GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_ISCSI' this is it worked and I used it for 3 years now. However, right now, I was hoping to be updated with the latest patches and updates and I do not know if I just ESX or ESXi, or what was my last update, and what it takes then.

  I used this command to get the following result:

  # vmware - v

  VMware ESX Server 3i 3.5.0 build-207095

  ... I think that the 3i says I have an ESXi 3.5.0 but build 207095 the buid even as ESXi 3.5.0 patch 5?

  If this is not the case, how should I do to update? What is the KB # I should download?

  I can manage using vSphere Client 5.5 and I can't SSH using PuTTY.

  Note: When I run... "# esxupdate - bundle = ESXe350-201302401-I - SG.zip updated ' of in the folder where his property in the data store, nothing happens... just a new line scrolls.

  ... is there any update for this system? I therefore believe that the patch software etc was not around when I was installing this server in 2010.

  Based on KB http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1014508 you run ESX 3.5 Update 5.

• The VMware VirtualCenter Server service stopped with the error service special 2 (0x2).

  I tried all listed in other postings, but our VSphere 4 server resides on a SQL server server.

  I tested the connection odbc with the SA password and it works, it rebooted several times now, tried to stop all services and bringing up one at a time, but whenever a dependency is not. I get this error in the system log, the VMware VirtualCenter Server service stopped with the error service special 2 (0x2).

  And

  VMware VirtualCenter Management Web Services service depends on the VMware VirtualCenter Server service which failed to start because of the following error:

  The service has returned a service-specific error code.

  Application log says this

  The description for event ID 1000 from source VMware VirtualCenter Server can not be found. Either the component that triggers this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

  If the event is on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

  The following information has been included in the event:

  Could not initialize the VMware VirtualCenter. Closing...

  the message resource is present, but the message is not in the string/message table

  I don't know how to fix it. It was working fine yesterday. Nothing has changed. Or has anyone experience this problem and have a solution?

• The VMware Workstation Server service stopped with service specific error %-1.

  Hi, when I try to enable sharing in Workstation 8 GTR | Change | Preferences | Sharing virtual machines, I get an error Impossible to configure the workstation server. Check the event log, I found they were trying to start the VMware Workstation Server service that does not start (even when you try to start it manually) and the following error is recorded "the VMware Workstation Server service stopped with service specific error %-1." by the Service Control Manager. I found no additional cases related.

  Running on Windows 7 SP1 x 64. The port is set to 7443.

  I also tried to find a newspaper there instead of vmware, but neither found anything related; However I could have missed something.

  Thanks for all the ideas, what could be wrong and how to fix it.

  Hello

  I have Workstation 8.0.1 installed on two laptop computers each running Windows 7 SP1 x 64... the shared component of the virtual machine runs on one but not the other. On the machine that I have problems with I uninstalled Workstation and reinstalled - without success. What I ended up doing to replace the datastores.xml file in the Directory go (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\hostd) on the laptop with the problem with the file datastores.xml of the laptop that works - success! I knew that there was a problem with the file because I've been poking around and noticed that the datastores.xml file is not open for editing - it was corrupted.

  I have attached the file to this message.

  Change of the section at the location that you store your shared VM (be sure to not use a UNC, which breaks the service as well!).

  I hope this helps.

  VMware has a cd ISO labled the following: VMware ESX Server 3.5 Update 3 driver for 3ware 9650SE and 9690SA SAS HBA controllers GCCA CD.  The URL is: http://www.vmware.com/support/vi3/doc/drivercd/esx350-3w-9xxx-2.24.08.021vm35-146309.html#InstallESX

  QUESTION: Anyone know if this drive works with ESXi 3.5?  The downloads of the installation, update 3 or 4, I tried to load do not work for me.  If this does not work, can you me where the download is that he asks?  If this is not the case, the ISO EXSi can be modified to work.

  The disc is for ESX only but if necessary you can extract the driver and use with ESXi.   I had check ESXi was last updated yesterday and there is no 3ware with her driver.   See the instructions here to create an oem.tgz file - http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/customize_oem_tgz.php.  There is also a link to the 3Ware Update1/2 site of 3Ware driver.  I check which driver is more recent and use it.

  Help the creation of a test of the abveo metric ESX alarm

  Hi - I ended up having to do such things in the past as well. I just built a virtual machine added lots of processors and memory, then for the CPU, I used the script CPUBusy.vbs from VMware (Google search which) and down it load times so that he began to max real physical processors... For memory, I just opened a massive text file in Wordpad and scroll up and down it. This gave me the circumstances to test the alarms, just don't do as a busy time or use some dev ESX servers...

• VMWare ESX Server training

  Hello experts,
  I'm new to vitrualization.
  I installed vmware workastation v 7.0 and I also have VMWare ESX Server training Trainsignal dvd for training so here are my questions:

  Can I install VMware vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 on my VMWare Workstation 7.0 for training v?

  Is - this VMWare vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 product different from VMWare ESX Server 3.5?

  I'm you ask all these questions because I want to be sure I can complete a training with VMWare vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 suite drive of my Trainsignal VMWare ESX Server 3 and because I am not allowed to download the evaluation version on VMWare ESX Server 3 and because the VMWare customer service could not answer my simple question and quoted me to the community by them to get advice.

  Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

  Hi nasolsi,

  Can I install VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5 straight on my VMWare Workstation 7 training without affecting my HDD physical whole?

  Yes, it has nothing to do with your actual score and highlights form the part of space, he took from your partition to create the disk of the virtual machine. So basically it will eat the space in the physical partition but does nothing else like the formatting of the entire disk.
  

  
  

  and the performance on my PC?

  No, this will not affect your PC's performance as the workstation will run the pages of RAM and cycles on your physical PC hardware microprocessor.

  
  

  If permitted increase RAM by a value so that you do not encounter CMTF or any other problem. 2048MB is the minimum memory required to run ESXi.

• Data growing in vmware esx server disk 3

  Hi, I have been asked by a colleague If I can be useful to expand d: ------disc on an existing virtual windows server 2003.

  They use:

  VMware ESX Server 3i Version 3.5.0 Build 110271

  VMware Infrastructure Client Version 2.5.0 build 119826

  Is it possible to extend the disc in vSphere clienten, start by clicking on the edit \ disk and then expand the *. wmdk file of 25 GB to 40 GB? After this connection in the server and expand the disk using a few better disk expansion program.

  / T.

  Yes, it should work even with the virtual machine. After having developed the virtual disk in the graphical interface, connect to the virtual machine Windows 2003 (or open the console or via the administrative RDP session) and rescan storage in disk management. Assuming that the data disk has only one partition or is the last partition on the disk and does not have the file exchange/swapfile on it, you may even be able to extend disk space by using the diskpart command-line utility.

• Simulation of material on VMWare ESX Server (is it possible?)

  Hello I am a student and write my thesis of license.

  The theme of my thesis is the 'comparison of VMWare ESX Server and Citrix XenServer'.

  After I installed XenServer on the material, I was able to simulate the material and got the possibility of

  OEM-Versions of Microsoft operating systems install VM on XenServer. With this feature can save our customers

  money, because they can use the Versions OEM of MS products provided by our care.

  

  Now my question! Is it possible to simulate the material on VMWare ESX Server and install the OEM Versions

  or are there other ways how I can install the OEM Versions on VMWare ESX Server?

  I've seen this kind of problem before as well and it's the media. Try to download eval software as an ISO and see if it works.

  I know say you it worked with xenserver then why not with esx - I can't answer this question I can only tell you want that I found worked.

• VMware ESX Server 2.5.0 build-11548 - licenses can be centralized in vCenter 2.0.2?

  VMware ESX Server, version 2.5.0 build-11548

  VC V. 2.0.2 Build 50618

  My current mission is with some legacy equipment and versions.

  When I add an esx host to vCenter (see versions above) - I don't get any options to add the 'module' of license to vCenter. The 3.0.2 host works well with a license from the local host and Add-ons vcenter. Version 2.5.0 host has a configured host license. I figured I could use a license for the host of the server and add vMotion, HA, DRS & as Add-ons of vCenter. Selecting the host 2.5 licenses tab is not activate 'configuration of the host' link or it lists license config below.

  Also, if I should not just use vCenter 2.0.2 for esx 2.5.x guests... please chime in with the grounds.

  Can the server vCenter 2.0.2 licenses treat the add-on (vMotion, HA, DRS) licenses for a range of esx 2.5.x with a local host (Server/SMP) license (s) OR even just centralized? It does for 3.0.2 without effort.

  No - vmotion, HA and DRS is not possible with ESX 2.5 - even if it was possible to use the license server centralized with VC 2.0.x these features of VI - 3 can have be used with older versions of ESX.

  If this is not the case, can I change esx 2.5.x to open ports or to start a service allowing the centralized license mgmt?

  The only way to manage centrally ESX 2.5 license is with VC - 1, x -.

• Installation of the VMware tools on PCLinuxOS comments

  Hi all

  I started to play with VMware player (version 6.0.3). I made a new virtual machine and install PCLinuxOS on it. I now want to install VMware tools on this comment, so I click on the drive-> manage-> install VMware tools. However, nothing seems to happen, and I've waited more than an hour. When I click on the drive-> manage according to me, it is said (download VMware tools). The host and the VM guest have access to internet. Could be blocking download, or in any way I can solve the problem? Thank you very much for your help - J

  You are running on Windows or Linux, VMware Player host? If you are running on the WIndows host, download the file: http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/player/6.0.3/1895310/windows/packages/tools-linux-9.6.2.exe.tar

  Extract the. EXE file and run it. EXE file on host it will silently install the ISO Images of VMware Tools in the working directory of VMware Player.

  After that, try to reinstall the VMware Tools on VM, simply go to the menu player-> manage-> install VMware Tools.
