• Add new host esxi 5.1 for the existing cluster of vcenter

  Hello

  I would like to add a new host Virgin esxi 5.1 to an existing cluster from the vcenter. What are the things that I have to preconfigure on the host before add you it? I configured the network already, storage will be implemented when I add it to the cluster, right?

  So, what I ended up doing was just set up time, networking and dns. I then added the host while he was in maintenance mode. I have a Compellent SAN storage and im using a folder in compellent to map all my Lun, then I can just add a new host in this folder, and it will automatically map all volumes to the newly added host once I go into vmware and make a new analysis on the FC HBA host (do FC fabric SW zoning first of course). I then added a file .locker on one of my SAN LUNS scrach location/newspapers. She's.

• New host ESXi 5.1 in DMZ - cannot connect through vCenter Client or web, but can via SSH, if I have activated

  We have a simple DMZ where I set up a host running ESXi 5.1. I have another windows server in the DMZ subnet and I can load the new ESXi her host's web site. From my PC in our LAN I can not pull the top web interface 5.1 ESXi or connect via vSphere Client. If I enable SSH on the new host, can I use Putty to connect to the new host ESXi from my PC in LAN. I watched the event logs in our firewall and nothing seems to be blocked. I guess that the problem is related to a value or a firewall setting in ESXi 5.1 but I don't know. Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  -Kevin

  Just a thought. Why don't run you the ESXi host in your internal network management and only virtual machines in the DMZ? Would make the ESXi host management even more secure, and you wouldn't have to open Firewall ports.

• Cannot start the virtual machine guest after receiving "License expired message" host ESXi 5.5

  I can't start computer virtual invited after receiving "License expired message" 5.5 ESXi host. I am able to copy the vm folder prompted with all its files using WinSCP I had already installed on a desktop computer in the network.

  However, it takes an extremely long time to download the VM [2.5 mb/s], which is of course a different question.

  It seems that I was still on the trial with my vsphere client license, until it expired. I am able to view the virtual machine within the workstation 10, but I can't turn it on. It says "Please install a license to power on this computer" there is no way to install a license anywhere.

  My question is... .will I be able to access this virtual machine if I download on an external hard drive, then add it to 10 VMWorkstation that I possess a current valid license?

  Even if the evaluation license has expired, you should be able to connect to the ESXi host using the vSphere Client and follow the steps mentioned in the article that I posted before you enter the free license key.

• How to prevent the host ESXi 6 to use the graphics card?

  In my ESXi host computer, I have a NVIDIA Quadro 2000 graphics card. However, the host takes the graphics card to start stop passthrough to Virtual Machines (VM). Is there a way to prevent the ESXI host enter the graphics card primary?

  "< a href ="https://justus.berlin/2015/06/enable-passthrough-of-mainprimary-gpu-in-xenserver-6-5sp1/"> XenServer has the means to prevent the army to use the main graphics Cardinal < /a > if all goes well it a similar method for ESXi.

  This last post is an attempt to set the record straight about the ESXi host using the primary (or only) graphics card. In addition, more information will provide about success past by the graphics card to a virtual machine that is used with a monitor and peripherals as a workstation.

  Configuration

  ESXi 6.0.0 U2 (Build 3620759)

  Material

  Workstation HP Z620 (J61 BIOS v03.88)

  (1) Xeon E5-2670

  64 GB OF DDR3 MEMORY

  (1) NVIDIA Quadro 2000

  VM - Windows 7 Professional SP1

  There is no need to prevent the host from the use of the graphics card beyond to choose the graphics card to get through to a virtual machine. Do alerts if the host and the appropriate parameters are defined automatically. However, the Web Client vSphere does not reflect this behavior when running Firefox on Mac OSX 10.11.3 47.0.1. Recommend use if possible vSphere Client. It presents a panorama that is closer to the real situation within 6 ESXi. If the Web Client is not the height by the time vSphere client is relieved there will be real trouble.

  #2

  At this point, I think, the pilot VSGA vSphere installed as part of "vmware tools" on a virtual machine is required for the successful graphics card through to a monitor. The process of solving problems associated with a virtual machine to crash the host on VM shutdown or restart has led to the false impression that an uninstall of the VSGA vSphere pilot was necessary for the proper functioning of the virtual machine. Do not uninstall the driver VSGA vSphere.

  #3

  A virtual machine with passthrough crashing the ESXi host when to stop or restart a VM guest is not unusual. Click here to see an informative discussion about this and how to fix the problem. If the link does not head the Forum of the source, the House and perform a descriptive research. Essentially, the problem seems to be generated by the interaction of the VM with the PCIe bus on start/stop. In my case, after each accident, the ESXi host area before any PCIe 2 location where the graphic card is installed. See the transponder required for features in the BIOS of HP.

  ESXi through a GPU was a PITA. It is possible to give enough time and effort. VMware documentation is miserable, so dependent on human is a given. Be sure to leave breadcrumbs for others.

• ESXi host change IP back to the old Configuration in vCenter

  Hi all! I'm having a problem with a host computer in my vCenter. I had 2 guests and both were in the same network. I moved to a remote site and change its IP from 10.10.2.253 to 10.10.3.250.

  While I'm trying to connect it to the vCenter, he connects well then (in vCenter) he's trying to connect to his old address IP 10.10.2.253.

  I have reset the vCenter, database, but it still does not work. When I move first the host at the remote site, I did not disconnect. I deleted it just (may be the source of this problem).

  Can someone help me on this one? A big thank you.

  Hi Alex,

  is it possible for you to create a record of host DNS (A) for this remote ESXi host name and then add to vCenter using its FULL domain name rather than IP address?

• Cannot open Server ESXi 4.0 from the assessment of vCenter Server has expired. Help, please

  By mistake, I forgot to remove an ESXi, vCenter server after the expiration of the evaluation period. Now I can not open vSphere client (for particular ESXi) and cannot access (via vSPhere client 4) one of my virtual machines. Is it possible (except re installation) to access vSphere client?

  Hi cele0503. Can you connect to the host ESXi itself (instead of the Victoria Cross) and then change the license to this particular host, that host > configuration > licensed features and then change depending on there?

• New host ESXi licensing

  Hi guys,.

  I am currently working on a workflow for the provision of new hosts ESXi from scratch. Unfortunately, I glued on the new VMWare licensing to a host. I wanted to do this with a script element:

  Entry:

  Host (VC: HostSystem)

  License (String)

  Code:

  Host.configManager. licenseManager. licenseAssignmentManager.updateAssignedLicense (Host.id, license, null);

  Unfortunately, this returns an error indicating licenseManager is null.

  Anyone know how to set the new licenseManager on the host or license in another way?

  Thank you

  Kamil

  OK, I got it myself. Instead of approaching licenseManager thanks Host.configManager I used instead of the VC:SdkConnection variable.

  Entry:

  Host (VC:HostSystem)

  SDK (VC:SdkConnection)

  LicenseKey (String)

  Code:

  SDK.licenseManager.licenseAssignmentManager.updateAssignedLicense (Host.id, LicenseKey, null);

  This works perfectly!

• VSAN showing license key have expired on a brand-new facility.

  Currently have a test laboratory of the three hosts Vsphere implemented.

  With each host with a brand new facility, from magnetic today ESXi 5.5 and at least an SSD and one of the hard drives.

  I was able to initially configure the vsan through the command line on the first host, and then once I had imported the latest version of the standalone version of VCenter and added the two remaining hosts on the VCenter server. It would allow me to add additional disks to the cluster vsan because of a vsan expired license key error. I found this rather curious because everything is the oldest in its facility in four hours.

  If you help me to find a way to get the vsan on trial license once again, would be great.

  After having play with VCenter apparatus and ESXi hosts, looks like it was a problem syncing after all. Not so much the time set in the BIOS, as well the ignition when the VCenter unit is initially configured.

• host ESXi 4.1 to 5.5 upgrade

  Hi all, hope this helps.

  I installed a new 5.5 vcenter and always running a vcenter 4.1, running both at the same time, I have migrated a crowd of 4.1 through to my platform of 5.5 and want to update the host to 5.5 (I have a license), my question is, will this affect my other storage on the san, other hosts on 4.1 run here , and I do not wish to upgrade this one 5.5 if it will affect the other storage on the old vcenter (things always work) he seem quite simple to do, but not sure about that something and can not afford to make the mistake with the old esx environment...

  You can upgrade the host ESXi 4.1 managed by vCenter 5.5 without problems. For more safety, unplug the host HBA when you perform the upgrade if you use CF. If I understand correctly, both the upgrade to 5.5 ESXi and ESXi 4.1 hosts existing use same data warehouses. The only drawback I see is after the upgrade to 5.5 ESXi host, do not improve data warehouses of VMFS3 to VMFS5 so as not to affect the environment 4.1 existing.

• hosts mixed esx 3.5 and older new vsphere with vcenter 4.1 esx hosts. Need advice please.

  Hello, I have an existing the vcenter server install managing two esx 3.5 hosts. The vcenter is version 2.5.0.x. I want to manage my new hosts of vsphere 4.1 esxi through the vcenter. I would check that if I improve my vcenter 2.5.0 for the last version vcenter Server required for the 4.1 that I will be able to manage my old esx 3.5 hosts? Will be an upgrade inplace vcenter 2.5.0.x support now the license server in place or I will have to manually install this after? Thanks for any info. Doug Dorbuck

  You can mange ESX 3.x host with vCenter 4.x - you can't manage ESX 4.x, vCenter 2.x hosts

  I think that in a place of upgrade will keep the license server - otherwise you will need to reinstall the server-licensing

• Need help to change a creation of VM PowerCLI script to support host ESXi and vCenter

  I have the below script that I created with much help from LucD - thank you! This has served me well for my lab procedures rip - replace so far. This script works when I run it against my single ESXi host when it is not connected to my server vCenter, but it throws errors when I run this script when the host is connected to vCenter and it fails to implement the controller SCSI Paravirtual. I think when the host is under the control of vCenter that changed some of the settings.

  If I point to the vCenter instead of ESXi host, I still get the same problem. In addition, I would also add the ability to create virtual machines in pools of different resources of a cluster of vSphere. My name in data center's LAB and my Cluster is called Local with pools of resources like TestLab, etc. see Horizon.

  Ideas please!

• What ESXI host NIC will use when the membership of the AD?

  What ESXI host NIC will use when the membership of the AD?

  I have a domain on ESXI host controller and I want ESXI to join the AD? I need to create a vmkernel for the goal?

  Hi Welcome to the communities,

  It will use the management network, which uses vmk0 as a default, no need to create a new vmkernel.

  Then look up what vmnic is connected to vmk0 in your installation.

• The upgrade to vCenter Server 5 with a view Server 4.6 on a host ESXi 4.1

  We have guests ESX and ESXi 4.1 and just got a new host ESXi 5. We must now be upgraded vCetner to version 5 server in order to manage the new host. I know 5 4.1 manage vCenter hosts but do I need to be wary when it comes to the host that maintains the virtual computers view or the view Server 4.6 VM itself?

  According to the comapbility matrix View 4.6 is not supported under vSphere or vCenter 5.

• Assign a license to a host

  How do assign you a license to a host VMWare ESXi 5.0. This is a simple test server and I have a serial number. But I can't seem to find the place where to assign it.

  I'm so truck in the mode of assessment now.

  Of course, Miss something.

  BTW, it will give me notice and when I click on assign to host it takes me to the vwware page with no clear indication of how to proceed.

  The tab Configuration entry features under license, click on the link Edit and enter the key in there. Easy sleezy.
