• The ESX host is in maintenance mode

  SE Vfoglight triggers always rules if an ESX host is in Maintenance mode? If so is it good for the maintenance mode that I can use to stop firing rules.

  There is such a property, inMaintenanceMode

• Check if the esx host is in maintenance mode

  
  Hello

  I need to know if there is a api in java vi which can let us know if any of the esx host is currently in maintenance mode?

  I know there is a way to discover this through the same monitoring using event Manager, I need to know is an api live which can let us know if the esx host is in maintaince at that precise moment?

  Thank you and best regards,

  Rachid chollet.

  Hi rachid,.

  I guess that the following property is what you are looking for: HostSystem.runtime.inMaintenanceMode

  But watch out for the docs for the property when it reads it: it is not set during the entry phase of maintenance mode.

• VMDK file unreadable after migration of VM & update of the ESX Server

  Last night we have updated the ESX servers here and in the migration process machines from one node to the other (by placing a single node of the cluster in maintenance mode). During this migration, the VMs one has stopped running. When we finished the migration and had updated the ESX Server, we brought the system to the top and tried to start this virtual machine.

  First, we looked in the directory of the virtual machine and saw that the VMDK file has a different name, with - dish at the end (before hard). We have renamed the file, removing the - flat extension, and this is where we saw these messages. ESX Server always gbehaved as if the file did not exist or was unreadable. Here is an extract from the log:

  The VMDK file is indeed the most, but VMware seems unable to open it. For what it's worth, it was also noted a .hlog file in the directory of the virtual machine on the server:

  cognos4dios. Zurich.IBM.com - 3 c 377802 .hlog:

  C2 C0 71 17 14 6 b6 01-49 fb 00 1 a 64 35 20 e9

  Anyone can shed some light on this? Done-flat suffix in the VMDK file have a special meaning? Any recommendations for the rescue of this virtual machine?

  Thank you very much in advance.

  Kind regards

• 0 x 80041006 "a network occurred when communicating with the game server"

  Today I got this error message when you try to connect to Internet Spades - 0 x 80041006 "a network occurred when communicating with the game server".  Same thing happens with Internet Backgammon.  Has anyone else had this problem, nobody has found a solution please?

  Patti

  Hi Syed,

  I was able to access all aspects of the internet, only Internet Spades/Backgammon & checkers that are on my PC, all gaming sites like Yahoo & Pogo were available.  A few hours later everything was back to normal, so I think it may have been an error of site specific to these games.  Thank you for your advice I will hold firmly in case of future problems.

• How to locate the fiber channel SAN disks on the ESX Server

  Hi all

  Please help on this

  How to find and configure the fiber channel SAN disks on the ESX Server

  Concerning

  Vijay

  Assuming that you have configured LUNS on your storage space itself you will need to ensure that the ID in the world of fiber HBA on the host ESX (you can see them registered against fiber HBA under storage adapters, WWID) are configured on the switch of fiber access (read and write).

  In the VI Client connected to your ESX host, select the storage adapters tab and highlight the Fibre HBA. Right-click and select Rescan. If you have correctly configured the SAN and the Fibre switch, then the LUNS now appear under the fiber HBA. Go to storage and select Add storage. Follow the wizard through to add LUNS and VMFS format. Do this for each ESX host that you want to see the LUNS.

• Adding a new NETWORK adapter to the ESX Server

  I have an ESX 3.5 server that has two NIC onboard.  I decided that I will join the ESX Server to the SAN, so I need these two NICS for iSCSI.  I'm going to install a NETWORK card in the PCI - X slot.  Unfortunately, without GUI, I'm confused as to how it will work.  Can someone give me some advice on how to add a new NETWORK card?  I checked esxcfg and I don't know if that's what I'm trying to use.  Any help would greatly be appreciated.

  In the VI client, you should be able to go on the tab network management under configuration see the NIC it to add them to the correct vSwitch.

• How to control vmotion license to the ESX Server

  I have 5 servers ESX 3.5 U3 in my vCenter.  Two are using host license and three are in a cluster and using the server license assigned by my license server, that runs on vCenter.  However, my ESX servers two stand alone using the host license receive a license of vmotion by my license server and my ESX servers in my cluster but cannot get a license of vmotion because their attributed to the wrong ESX Server.

  How can I get the vmotion license released by the ESX servers who don't need and make it available on my ESX Server who need?  My three ESX servers in cluster shared storage for vmotion and don't have my two stand alone ESX servers.

  I tried simple things, like the disconnection of servers and ESX servers in reconnection vCenter, re-reading of license files, restart the license server, etc..  license and vCenter server is 2.5 U4.

  Thanks in advance.  Jim

  go to the configuration tab and click Networking, you have a Port VMkernel configuration?  If so, edit click the vSwitch properties, change your VMkernel port settings and uncheck the box that says VMotion: enabled.

• Copy Virtual Machine on the ESX Server windows file server (files)

  I made a copy of a computer virtual with Vmware converter and it is sitting on the windows file server, is there a way to copy the files to the server, ESX4?  Something like a copy and paste?

  Thanks in advance!

  Simply right click on the data store you want to place the files on (Summary tab when selecting one of the hosts connected to this data store), select "Browse the data store" and then use the button "transfer files to this data store. You can use it to download a folder or file from a target, that you access from your system. It might make things easier if you create a folder in the store of data first, and then download the files one at a time. Make sure that the virtual machine is turned off when you do.

  Another option might be to vMotion/migrate it from current storage to a data store in the ESX environment. I did not the same type of migration before, it will or will not be, works correctly. I moved files VM from a source, see my workstation, up to a data store that the ESXi host has a connection to before without problem (with the virtual machine powered off course).
