• Boot PXE ESXi 5.5.0 problems

  
  Trying 5.5 to the PXE boot ESXi and the conduct of affairs.  Receiving the message ' Initial menu has no entry tag ' when I understand what follows in the pxelinux.cfg file.

  default esx-5.5/menu.c32

  title of menu install ESXi 5.5.0

  Tag install

  label of the menu of ESXi 5.5.0

  kernel esx-5.5/mboot.c32

  I have solved my problem.  It turns out that the pxelinux.0 file we have on our kickstart server is old and what is not compatible with mboot.c32 and menu.c32.

• ESXi 5 storage connectivity problems

  When I was setting up our infrastructure to vsphere 2 years ago I did everything according to the "best practices" (Netapp, VMWare and Cisco).

  I had 2 4.0 hosts and I implemented the storage network (NFS and iSCSI) as an EtherChannel on one side of the switch Cisco and active NIC and IP HASH in a side ESXi load balancing.

  Now, I just added 2 more than 5.0 hosts, reclassified vCenter to 5 and wanted to set up the new host for storage, but that is the problem.

  Somehow ESXi5 let me use exactly the same configuration, I can't have 2 active adapters on both ESX and for this reason, I can't use hash IP in this vSwitch load balancing.

  So, how am I suppose to add Stoarge to the new ESXi5?

  EtherChannel is no supported network storage more on ESXi5?

  If I have to stop using EtherChannel on the CISCO site that will break my conection of storage for the two production hosts ESXi 4.

  Any input appreciated.

  Thank you

  Add maps via the iSCSI GUI software is ports VMKernel will link individual (and usually multiple) of a single software iSCSI initiator.  "It's the GUI version of ' esxcli swiscsi nic add n d .

  To configure this for vSphere 5, VMkernel port NIC grouping settings must be configured as described in the error.

  If you choose to not explicitly link VMkernel ports the software initiator, let the empty Network Configuration tab, and the VMkernel routing table automatically chooses an appropriate VMKernel port to connect.  According to your description, this is how your environment vSphere 4 is set up.

• ESXi 4.1 installation problem

  Current running in an error message when you try to install ESXi 4.1 on a USB stick on a new generation of server. I use the VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 4.1.0 - 260247.x86_64.iso image. After that some research on Google, it seems that there might be a problem of compatibility of equipment? I tried to disable AHCI, unplug the WD drive, by disabling the two network cards. No one changed anything. I have a feeling that maybe that's a problem of compatibility of the mother/cpu card, but I'm not really sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to decomission my old server as soon as possible!

  Here's the equipment I use:

  • ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution
  • Intel Xeon W3550
  • Kingston ValueRAM 6 GB (3 x 2 GB) ECC Unbuffered DDR3 1333 KVR1333D3E9SK3 / 6G
  • NVIDIA GTX260 (Just temporary until I get a cheapo card)
  • SanDisk Cruzer 2GB USB Flash Drive
  • Western Digital WD5000ABYS 500 GB (to be dedicated to a virtual machine)
  • LG GH20NS15 DVD burner
  • Adaptec 5405 (not yet installed, still in the production server)
  • 3 x Western Digital WD5000ABPS 500 GB (not yet installed, still in the production server)

  Here is a screenshot of the error message I get:

  

  ESXi is not able to recognize a NETWORK card in the system.   You can add something like an Intel Pro 1000, or you can read the article of oem.tgz on vm - Help.com for a driver.

• ESXi 4.0 NIC problem

  I have a HP proliant running ESXi 4

  The vnet0 is set to static IP address

  It is connected to a firewall

  The vnet1 is connected to the same firewall and there is a DHCP server provides IP addresses of

  10.10.10.10 for 10.10.10.250

  A virtual server connected to the (default) vswitch0 works fine, but the second server connected to the another vswitch using the second network card

  is having a few problems.

  I tested on a different network, as a test environment, now I need for this production and that causes a problem.

  Can someone give me an idea on what may be wrong with this configuration?

  Thank you

  Xavier

  Welcome to the VMware forums communities.  Is both connected to the same switch, HP network adapters or you have a LAN / DMZ or similar split?  Virtual machines on the 2nd vSwitch have a problem in obtaining an IP address?    What is the nature of the problem having these virtual machines?

• ESXi 3.5 Emb to Esxi 4 u1 upgrade problem

  Hello world!

  I spent a whole day trying to upgrade my esxi 3.5 integrated hosts and I have so far failed.

  Lets start from scratch:

  We have IBM BladeCenter full of 14 22XM IBM BladeServers, each of them has 2 GB USB flash inside with 28 Socket Enterprise Plus licensing for vSphere and VMWare Esxi 3.5 integrated INTL.

  I want to upgrade to Esxi 4 Update 1.

  Initially, I tried using VSphere Host Update Utility, with update.zip (this set, I downloaded on vmware.com, this is a package of upgrade to Esxi 4 update 1 installable of Esxi 3.5) but it failed with an error "input string is not in a correct format." OK, I studied later that VMWare VSphere Host Update Utility can update that Esxi 4 guests. Not very good news, but Ok, lets move!

  Then, I tried to update the vihostupdate in VSphere CLI utility. I installed VSphere CLI and tried to launch vihostupdate.pl and got an error this libxml2.dll dll could not be found. I updated variable of environment PATH with the path to the bin CLI directory and I rebooted the server. OK, vihostupdate.pl has returned to me for usage information. I have enered command to upgrade my esxi:

  vihostupdate35.pl - Server 172.x.x.187 - root username - password xxx-i b c:\update.zip

  But has encountered an error:

  Error to connect to the server " " https://172.x.x.187/sdk/webService': Connection failed due to a bad user name or password

  I did not forget that he had trouble with credentials of typing in command promt and have deleted password option to manually enter:

  vihostupdate35.pl - root - user name of the server 172.x.x.187-i c:\update.zip b

  And after you have entered the password, I got a new error:

  c:\1.zip unpacking...

  Impossible to analyze \metadata.xml to C:\Program VMware vSphere CLI\bin\

  vihostupdate35.pl line 321

  main::get_bundle_info('\metadata.) XML') called at C:\Program Files\VMware

  VSphere \VMware CLI\bin\vihostupdate35.pl line 236

  call main::install_update ('HostSystem = HASH (0x4f0fcc0)', '\metadata.xml')

  ED to C:\Program VMware vSphere CLI\bin\vihostupdate35.pl line 122

  Disconnection of the end

  OK, I have extracted update.zip in directory temporary and used another command:

  vihostupdate35.pl - root - user name of the server 172.x.x.187-i m c:\tmp\metadata.xml

  And have got an another erorr:

  does not apply to the host target (embeddedEsx 3.5.0 INTL)

  But I have found nowhere in the documents of VMWare or google that I can't be upgraded, esxi 3.5 embedded, ESXi 4 update 1. Can someone help me?

  I heard that there are some CIM providers that exist on ESXI embedded in order to better use the monitoring features, and I want to not lose them if possible.

  Hello

  Here, it was an admin with the same question.

  Components (to help people to google)

  -Material: HP ML350 G5

  -ESXi Embedded version: HP Embedded ESXi 3.5 Update 4 (U4) Build 153875

  -Host Update Utility: vSphere 4.0 (build 208111)

  Update package - ESXi 4.0 U1: ESXi - 4.0.0 - 1.9.208167 - updated - release.zip

  My workstation (XP-Finnish) and server (English WS03R2x64) had this same problem. Both had the locale "Finnish".

  I have changed the control panel of XP - locale - "Finnish"-> «English (US)»

  Workstation recharged and voila! Error disappeared and I can spend it with zip above.

• Dell PowerEdge R730 + ESXi 6 U2: licensing problem bought

  Hello

  I am trying to assign vSphere Standard licenses, I bought via Dell (and saved).

  Whenever I try to license, I get an error message:

  Has anyone ever had this problem?

  I have dual CPU servers (so I bought 4 licenses) that they are by CPU.

• Ping ESXi 6.0 U2 problems

  Hello

  all devices are on the same subnet.

  I ping the ESXI host and our monitoring server, but the ESXi host and the monitoring server cannot ping each other.

  Firewall on the monitoring server is disabled. The ESXI host has not changed the firewall settings. Restart both does not help.

  What can I do?

  I ended up reinstalling 6.0 Update 2, preserving the data store and now it works.

• ESXI 6.0 configuration problem: quick stats on {host} is not up-to-date

  I installed two Dell R530 3 days ago.

  Single-host, all right. The second appears in yellow on the Summary tab message: quick stats on {host} is not up-to-date

  Directly connected to the host shows no problem. The State of health is normal.

  Everything seems to work properly with respect to the collection of statistics.  But this yellow box annoys me

  I changed the settings, it works fine now.  In vSphere new its a little different look. You must add the word "config" in the key chain. It should look like this:

  config.vpxd.quickStats.HostStatsCheck

  config.vpxd.quickStats.ConfigIssues

  Enter the fields value: false

  Thank you

• ESXI 5.5 installation problem...

  I use USB to update my ESXI 5.1 to 5.5, but when installation of the files loading process stops at LSI_mr3.v00. Who can tell me why? Or is there something wrong with my ISO file, who can give me some value to check my ISO 5.5, as MD5?

• OSX.7 on ESXi - anyone else have problems?

  Just to cover some of the basic points that seem to come up:

  a. running on any material not Mac OSX is a violation of the EULA

  b. Mac mini are not compatible with ESXi, it will install however you will be left without a network connection

  c. Mac Pro (mid-2010 in my case) work with ESXi, but they do not appear on the VMware HCL

  I could take my copy of OSX.7 (Lion) on the App store and burn it to a DVD via these instructions: http://Lifehacker.com/5823096/how-to-burn-your-own-lion-install-DVD-or-Flash-drive

  OSX installs and runs fine, until you apply the updates. Then it just sits on the gray screen of the Apple at the start.

  Has anyone else been able to install OSX on a case of ESXi and had it work perfectly?

  I was very excited when VMware for the first time the possibility of legitimately virtualize OSX, but between all the Apple restrictions, then either Xserve - in production being the only compatible ESXi host, he was pretty well let down.

  Of course, before the reboot, replace /System/Library/Extensions/AppleLSIFusionMPT.kext by the 10.7.1

• Ribbon in esxi 4.1 disk problem (newbie)

  HI -.

  I installed Vmware Esxi 4.1 on a Dell T410 server, then a SBS 2008 VM installed.

  I also connected a Tandberg LTO2 tape drive using a 2032 LSI SCSI controller. I can see Tanberg found tape and is active in the Vsphere Client under 'maps '. In the SBS 2008 VM SCSI controller is present, but no not listed tape drive.

  No idea how to turn the tape inside the VM drive?

  Type r

  Björn.

  If you have the correct edition to access the feature, you can use the VMDirectPath (aka Passthrough) option to connect the tape directly drive to this virtual machine... Only ONE VM will however have access to the material.

  The settings are located under the Configuration tab when you look at the host under vSphere Client, under 'Advanced settings' in the list of material... You will need to set up the pull-out decision, then select the virtual machine to use...

• ESXi 3.5 4 problem to upgrade by adding the VMFS partition existing on iSCSI SAN

  Hi all

  I've got 2 x Dell PowerEdge 2950 III linked directly with Dell MD3000i iSCSI-SAN and today I had once hard to improve my production ESXi 3.5 u 4 ESXi 4.0,.

  First is that the upgrade is failed miserably after following this thread: url = http://communities.vmware.com/thread/211413;jsessionid=47217F9BCCA2DF1325DBE7A266D48A8D?tstart=0VMware communities: error on upgrade the host: this host is not compatible with this upgrade. [url]

  with the following error message: ERROR: unsupported boot disk

  The layout of boot device on the host computer does not support the upgrade.

  That's why I did a clean reinstall of ESXi 4 on top of ESXi 3.5 u 4 and lost all unique settings on my ESXi host. I am now stuck in SAN iSCSI partition mapping after following the guide from: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/eslvmwre/AdditionalDocs/cnfigrtnguide/storage_guide.pdf [/ URL]

  See the following attachment.

  I wonder how people make their upgrade in ESXi 4.0 in the production system running ESXi 3.5 u 4 filled with hundreds of VM? The reason why I use 2 x ESXi server connected to unique SAN server, is that I can just start the virtual machine on the SAN from the other ESXi - & gt; that's fine and tested, but then when I rebuild the failed server, I need to delete all the data inside the shared partition that contains my VMs.

  So in conclusion after one of the ESXi server failed, mapping of iSCSI would eventually destroy all data in the partition?

  CMIIW, any idea and suggestion would be gladly appreciated

  Kind regards

  AWT

  The configuration-> tab cards storage, you should be able to recrawl and find existing VMFS volumes.  You shouldn't need to add storage.
