  A few days ago, we bought the computer with the following configuration:

  CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 (Wolfdale), 2.93 GHz, 3 MB Cache, 1066 MHz FSB, EMT64
  Gigabyte GA-P43T-ES3G
  VGA card Palit Daytona GeForce 8400GS 256 MB DDR2 64 bit
  2048MB Goodram PC10600 DDR3 memory [1333]
  HARD drive 250GB Seagate 7200 RPM, 8 MB Cache, SATA300

  I decided to install ESX server 3i 3.5 free version, to test the program.

  During the installation, I got a message, offer the choice:

  VMware ESX Server 3i 3.5.0 installer

• Adding 2nd NIC killed ESX Server

  All,

  Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Here are the environment and then my question.

  3 - DELL R510 - Dual Core Quad - Intel systems

  The area has "2" Integrated NIC

  as well as "2" QUAD Port - PCI Intel network interface cards

  NIC 0 - integrated NETWORK card is a system where installed- and it is plugged into a standard Switch CISCO GIG, the tag VLAN 108

  NIC 1 - integrated is configured for iSCSI connectivity

  LOCATION 0 - Port Quad PCI NIC

  Port # 3 is connected to a GROUP of CIRCUITS on a CISCO SWITCH with VLAN 108, 104, 107 and 110 on it

  Port # 1 is used for the 2nd iSCSI connection

  LOCATION 1 - Port Quad PCI NIC

  # 7 port is connected to a different GROUP of CIRCUITS on a CISCO SWITCH with VLAN 108, 104, 107 and 110 on it

  All three servers are installed with ESX4 update 1

  When I go into vCenter to one of the three servers and go to the primary Switch virtual networking, if I add #3 NIC or Port #7 NIC to the virtual switch (it currently integrated NIC 0 in) the system disconnects the network and to connect to vCenter losses and the entire network. If physically I reboot the ESX Server, it is NOT on the network. I have the tag VLAN in NIC0 defined 4095 to accept all the VLANS as well. (I tried with and without the tag of VLAN 4095 - same result)

  Here are my questions:

  1 - Why is - what happens? How it should be configured?

  2. is there a way to get NIC0 to return to the network without having to re - install ESX?

  I reinstalled the boxes several times now and tried many variations of combinations of nic, and they all end up with the ESX Server disconnected from the network and does not.

  Really looking for some common sense here... Please and thank you.

  Hmmmm, shooting a little in the dark, but I think your next 2 steps are:

  (1) get the SC (vswif0) MAC and check your MAC address table switch to fly throughout of ports

  (2) on the console, use esxcfg-vswitch for uplink associated with the Group of port SC the first list, and then delete the 2nd network card.  This should get your SC direct return and leave the new map available NETWORK the vswitch, simply not group ports SC.  (And you don't have to reinstall :-).)

  Virtualization of happy!

• ESX Server won't go into maintenance mode - Timeout

  We have 1 host ESX 4.1 support our view desktop computers. I tried to plan a reorganization of the host during the night, but jobs would not be the exit ramp leading to the maintenance task timeout mode.

  What will do to make desktop computers will be exit during this upgrade? I put all the desktops into maintenance mode before the host trys to remedy?

  Thank you

  Travis

  This part of a cluster DRS ESX Server? If not you will need to manually stop or vmotion the VMS to another ESX host before it can go into maintenance mode - if it's part of a DRS DRS cluster must be set fully automated so DRS can automatically vmotion the VMs before entering maintenance mode.

• Add ESX server assessment to VC with error: there is not enough license installed to run the operation.

  Hi all:

  I added two esx servers in my vc received the error: there is not enough licnese installed to run the operation.

  There are some servers esx with correct license file in VI3.5U3 in my environment. I want to add more than two servers esx with evaluation mode in this virtual Center. I got error.

  connection to the esx server directly without vc, to feature license tab, I selected evaluation mode is ok. but I can't added these in vc. Why?

  can someone help out me.

  Thank you very much.

  hihiy

  I don't think you can, you need to turn your TC to eval too, and before we do, your VC should not exceeded calclation eval of 60 days from the first day, it has been installed.

  BTW, since you have valid VC 2.5 license, and is not the Foundation of VC, why don't you showing your ESX with eval license server to license? Add then the two ESX to your existing VC?

• License available when one of the ESX Server is in maintenance mode

  The available license count changes if ESX Server is added in maintenance mode? I think that the answer is Yes, but I want to be sure of it. Unfortunately I can't test this in my environment.

  I have ESX 3.5 update 5 and VC upadate 6

  Thank you

  I just tested it, and the number of licenses available for my 3.5 servers has not changed after that one has been placed in maintenance mode.  I wouldn't really expect him if she is always powered, but unfortunately I can't supply a stop for the moment.

• 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 -.

• ESX Server timed out when I try to enter the license server in the CR

  Hi all

  I have a problem with the addition of two new ESX servers in our virtual Center.

  Let me give you a brief overview:

  We have 5 servers ESX and virtual Center Server.

  All servers are in a single Cluster (Cluster 01)

  Now, we want to use Virtual Desktop Infrastructure and for this reason, we bought another 2 servers (blades).

  I installed from scratch with ESX 3.5 Update 4.

  I did a second Cluster in our VC (Group 02) and add the two.

  I configured the network settings and storage, everything went very well, shoot when I want to point to our license server, whenever I get an error message from our VC. Operation timed out and my settings when not accepted. No matter if I get the IP address or FULL domain name. BUT I can ping our server to ESX Server licenses, so I'm not sure if this is some sort of DNS issue or not.

  Another note: our first 5 ESX servers where ESX Server Standard license.

  Our new ESX servers where an ESX Server VDI license. I used the CD to install ESX normal, because I have not found any VDI install special files.

  I see all licenses in the Administration view in our VC, so I think our license file is not corrupted.

  Things I've done so far:

  Renewal of license, start stop server, esx Server license installed twice from scratch

  I have no more ideas, I hope someone could help me with this problem.

  According to your image, you have 0 agent licenses virtual centre-left to allocate to new hosts.  What might happen, is that the agent is not properly installed on the new servers.  Connect to ESX servers.  Make sure that you can test the virtual Center by domain name server FULL and hostname, not only by intellectual property.  From your RESUME, ping your esx server fqdn and the host name.

  Also, check the file/etc/hosts on your esx server and make sure that the entries are tiny.

• Logic unit number is not available in ESX Server 4.

  Hi people,

  Storage guys have mapped the LUN on the ESX Server. But when I check in ESX server using esxcfg-volume - l... LIN is not visible.

  However, when I check using esxcfg-scsidev - c... I could see that the LUN is assigned to my ESX server...

  Any thoughts here... from front ESX... How can I make the LUN available to my ESX?

  Concerning

  Sylvie

  Is this an existing lun or is a new?

• 4.1 ESX Server thinks it is managed by VCenter, but is not

  An ESX 4.1.0 server (Standard edition) think it is managed by our server to VC, but it isn't.

  When connecting to the server with an ESX VSphere Client, I am greeted with the message:

  "This host is currently managed by the VCenter server... IP address.  It is not the case.

  I believe that the problem started in trying to add this ESX server 4.1.0 to our server VCenter 4.0.0

  This isn't a combination of supported, but the operation seems to have left the ESX with the VCenter Server Agent installed and configured server.

  I guess I'll upgrade our server VCenter 4.1 at a given time, but how to remove or correct the VC Server Agent on the host computer in the meantime?

  I see this suggestion: http://http://communities.vmware.com/message/707920#707920

  and cannot find this directory on the server VCenter, but what script to use is not clear.

  Thank you... Lyle

  Hi Lyle,

  Take a look at the following kb and try uninstalling vCenter Server Agent:

• Added Distributed Switch, now can not access any ESX Server

  Hi guys,.

  I just completed the implementation of our first 2 ESX servers, a server vCentre added in as a virtual machine to a trial and the addition of a distributed switch to separate our traffic. During this process, I somehow picked the wrong interconnect to cross and moved VMNIC0 that running the SC and all virtual machines after the original installation.

  Now, I can't access the ESX server or server vCentre to revert back the changes I made. However, I have physical access to the servers via command line.

  Is there a relatively simple way, I can move the SC and VM' on the default vswitch? This happens when the server vCentre has been disconnected for a period of time?  I don't mind having to add the virtual machine to a vCentre at all, so remove the ESX on it will return to the way 1 vswitch and give me access again.

  I'm kinda stuck at the moment as I have ready 8 VM to start a project on but cannot access any of them!

  Thanks in advance

  Simon

  Simon,

  You must set up a group of ports "Service Console" and assign a vswif. If you follow the steps in KB http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1000266 it will show you how to do this. The service console port group is necessary for the host be observable at the customer virtual Center/vi. I have attached 2 screenshots of what esxcfg-vswitch - l and esxcfg-vswif - l should look like. The Group of ports VMotion is not necessary, just the service console.

• ESX Server does not respond in VCenter

  Hello everyone, I am looking for some help with a problem I have right now.  I was able to find a similar thread, but it was not resolved, so here are my symptoms.

  I have a 3.5 running ESX Server.  In VCenter, the system shows callous and all of the associated virtual machines are disconnected.  However, ESX server and virtual machines are running correctly.  If I try to use the VI Client to connect directly to the ESX box, you receive an error "server has taken too much time to react."  Interface Web doesn't either.  However, the SSL connection via port 22 works fine and I am able to work with the system.  I had this problem before and a reboot of the server ESX solved the problem, but which forced me to all virtual machines down and then reboot ESX.  The ESX box shows no errors when I have ILO on the console.

  Can anyone give me any help is appreciated.

  Have you tried to restart the management agent with

  [for service mgmt-vmware restart

  on the console?

  Kind regards

  Gerrit Lehr
