  Hi all

  I install my host ESX server in vmware workstation.  It works fine except when I am creating virtual machines.

  I'm not able to install the operating system on the virtual machine and I get this error that appears inside the virtual machine.

  to answer.  Do you want to retry?

  My ESX server hosts have static IP addresses.

  I've seen a few similar posts on this issue, but their solutions have not worked for me.

  I think we confuse you.  ESX server is running like a machine virtual within the workstation, correct?  If Yes, then you must edit the vmx esx server with these entries monitor configuration file *.  They can go anywhere in the file.  Once those have been added, you should be able to run 32-bit virtual machines within the esx server.

• "Unable to connect to the MKS: unable to connect to the host [servernamehere] failed on vSphere 4.0 and client.

  Anyone have this problem?  I loaded vSphere 4.0 host ESX 3.5 and everything seems to work very well yesterday, after sleep more testings and this error arose:

  "Unable to connect to the MKS: unable to connect to the host failed on vSphere 4.0 and client.

  After a google search, I could it is resolved by placing the DNS entries on the client machine c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file point to my ESX host name and domain name FULL name runs and it worked fine.  I'm curious to know why this went well?

  What is MKS mean in this case?  Server key from Microsoft or the key management server?

  When you click on the console of a virtual machine, the server that hosts the vm responds back with its host name for your client to connect to.  Thus, the MKS console could not be connected to, and you could not see the virtual machine console, until you updated name resolution.  Given that the ESX host is back with a name, the customer could not resolve the name, if your client could not connect to the virtual computer mouse, keyboard, screen.  Hope that makes more sense.

  • vCenter Server shows the VMS as being disconnected then connected.

  Hello

  Resolution

  Cause

  This problem can occur if an ESX host's IP address is changed while being managed by vCenter Server.

  Check the cause

  To check the cause of the problem:

  1. Log in as root to the ESX host using a SSH client.
  1. In the file etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg, find the IP address of the host. The entry looks like:

     
     10.21.48.121
     

     Note: for more information about editing the files, see installation in VMware ESX configuration files (1017022).

  Troubleshooting

  If the IP address is incorrect, perform the following steps in order. If the operation does not resolve the problem, continue to the next step. Don't skip a step.

  1. Disconnect and then reconnect the host:
  1. Right click on the ESX host in vCenter Server and click Disconnect.
  1. Reconnect the ESX host in vCenter Server.
  1. Restart the VirtualCenter agent on the ESX host:
  1. Stop the service of vpxa with the command:

     # service vmware-vpxa stop

  1. Open the /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg file in a text editor and correct the IP address of the ESX host.
  1. Start the service of vpxa with the command:

     # service vmware-vpxa start

     Note: for VMware ESXi, you may have to restart all the management agents. For more information, see restart the agents on an ESX or ESXi Server (1003490) management .

  1. Rebuild the VirtualCenter agent on the ESX host configuration file:

     Attention: this step removes all the Statistics counters historical host and the virtual machine. If VMware ESX host is running in virtual machines that starts in a permitted CVS environment, you maybe won't be able to add the host without stopping the virtual machines first.

  1. Right click on the ESX host in vCenter Server and click Disconnect.
  1. Remove the ESX host disconnected from vCenter Server.
  1. Backup the file vpxa.cfg with the command:

     # mv /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.oldcfg

  1. Add the ESX host disconnected to the server vCenter inventory.
  1. Run the following command to view the contents of /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg and confirm that the host IP address is correct:

     # cat /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg

  Any ideas why it does not work?  It is run on a Windows XP workstation.  The target server is on the local network and running ESXi 4.1.  The vmRun version is 7.1.2 and is installed with Workstation 7.1.2.

  I also tried Ubuntu 10.04 with vmRun from a Workstation 7.1.2 installation.  There, he also fails with the same error.

  Note that ESXi 4.1 is used to test installation is not allowed and is running in demo mode.  Management of the vSphere client works without any problem the same Windows XP workstation.

  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  You must install the full package of VIX by http://communities.vmware.com/community/developer/downloads. It contains only components to manage the workstation. Please note that I had to install in the VIX 1.10.1 order then Workstation 7.1.2 to get both to work on my Windows 7 computer.

• ' Could not connect: unable to connect to the host localhost: connection refused "on variuos orders

  On ESX 4.0.0 Update 1.

  When I run a command like "vim-cmd/hostsvc/hostsummary | "grep inMaintenanceMode" or vimsh - n - e/hostsvc/maintenance_mode_enter ' / 'vimsh - n - e

  I am able to ssh on the server as well as the use of WinSCP without any problem.

  I can connect with the VI Client also without problem.

  Any ideas?

  The problem has been resolved.

  The fix:

  =====

  # vimsh-e - n/hostsvc/hostsummary | grep inMaintenanceMode

  Using the libcrypto, version 90809F

  inMaintenanceMode = false,

  # vim-cmd/hostsvc/hostsummary | grep inMaintenanceMode

  inMaintenanceMode = false,

  Rationality for the problem is these commands (vim - FCM or vimsh) were unable to communicate due to lack of xinetd process.

• Unable to connect to the host PuTTY using!

  Hello people.

  I try to use puTTY to connect to the host, but I can't. Message says - Network error: Connection refused. Any help.

  Thank you.

  In terms of virtualization, there is no real difference but how you interact with directly it is - the console, usually called the Service Console is part of ESX. It is essentially a virtual machine running RHEL which is used to manage and control your ESX Server.  Being based on linux is to SSH ocnnections research and this is what you connect to use a like of the PuTTY SSH client. In ESXi management and control functionality is part of the vmkernel which is the o/s of the ESXi server. It is no longer use RHEL so there is no capability of SSH connection so PuTTY will not work.  VMware has replaced the Service Console with remote CLI - which gives you the functionality of the Service Console.

• Is unable to connect/add the host to the CR - error: another error occurred at line number 7, not well-formed (invalid token)

  Hello!

  Having a problem with a server ESX 3.5 and VC2.5. Two days ago it became (not answer) in VC and I could not reconnect. Using VI client I can connect directly to the host. I ping the ESX other EWX hosts and to the client with VC.

  I tried mgmt-vmware restart and restart av vpxa. A restart of the ESX host has not helped.

  I have her disconnect the ESX and when trying to connect, I get the Connection Wizard, but when you add the server name and root I get an error saying:

  General error: another error at line 7 number, not well-formed (invalid token) and cannot continue.

  I saw another discussion in the forum saying ban the CDP but that did not help.

  After removing the server ESX of VC, I'm trying to add hos, but run into the same error. I see no particular error in newspaper except errors in certificates, but I'm not sure that that's about it.

  It's one of the things that I read in the newspaper about the VC client:

  Unexpected error connecting host host3.kun.local: incomplete header received

  GetChanges failed on the host /vpx/host/#7863 /: vim.fault.NoHost

  Set the error code of connection (-2) for the host host3.kun.local

  Anyone with any ideas what to look for?

  I'll try to remove vpxa and vpxauser # rpm - e Vmware-vpxa and # userdel vpxuser and see what happens.

• 5.5 'unable to connect to the host.

  Good evening

  We have installed 5.5 and re-imported our config 5.1 prior. When you try to connect to the VCO client, the message "Unable to connect to host" is returned. This occurs independently by using the IP address or the FULL domain name.

  Authentication is set to LDAP and we tested the connection using the test connection tab, the account works fine and all green elements in the configuration page. Both services are running. Don't see anything obvious in the newspapers either.

  Enjoyed any idea on what it remains to be seen. Thank you.

  I was able to get around that and connect as follows:

  -Remove the VCO 5.5 and make sure that all related files have been deleted

  -Re-install VCO 5.5

  -Change the values in the configuration by copy and paste in the new Mail LDAP server, database, another Server 5.1 using similar settings

  -Other values manually place VC, certificates

  Previously, I had done the installation and re-import the config saved version 5.1 prior. I don't know where the issue is it than that, but it does not work.

• Unable to connect to the host ESXi VMware converter 5.1

  Hi all

  I am trying to use the converter, but difficulties. I can use the first option to connect to a virtual machine power on but when I try to use the second option. To connect to a 5.1 ESXi host, I get the message of network failure. There are stories saying the ports and services must be open on the host computer, but what are they and how to open them? I use the converter 5 version and there is no involved vcenter.

  Thank you

• vSphere Client 5 U1 unable to connect to the host of U1 ESXi 4.1

  Hello

  I'm having a small problem.

  I am currently using vSphere Client 5 U1 (5.0.0 Build 623373) to connect directly to ESXi hosts (still no vCenter).

  I can connect successfully to 5.0 U1 hosts, but I have a few hosts U1 4.1 inherited in the lab which I just can't connect with.

  A little research in the compatibility tables show that with the most recent client, I should be able to connect do former ESXi hosts.

  However, when I try to connect to this host U1 4.1, I get a popup to update with the message "customer support required files must be extracted from the 'vsphereclient.vmware.com' server and installed". And then I get a prompt to install/save a Setup program.

  What is this new installer? Another version of the Client? Have I not the newest one? Anyway, I can't complete the download for this new installer (connection failure).

  The host of ESXi 4.1 is on the network and I can connect with an older Client (4.1) that is installed in a different workstation.

  What happens here?

  Thanks in advance!

  You must install as vSphere client major versions (3, 4, 5) but VMware tries to make this process as transparent as possible. That's why it asks to install it automatically.

  Once installed, just launch v5 and it automatically and transparently pass the correct version if you connect to a 4.x server.
