• Should the RAM for an ESXi host replaced the same ones remaining?

  Hello

  We are running a cluster of servers ESXi 5.1 - 2 of them are Xeon E7440 2.4 GHz (64 GB of RAM) and 1 of them is Xeon X 5460 3.16 GHz (32 GB of RAM).

  Currently, the use of the memory of all three ESXi hosts are about 60%.

  We will replace the Xeon X 5460 server with a new physical server.  We would like to ask for your opinion how much RAM you must order (my manager of door on the cost of the new server).

  Thank you

  Hi again Tony,

  1. No, it is not high at all. You should begin to worry about this, after reaching approximately 85-90%.
  2. My short experience with clusters of memory-unbalanced, adding that more memory would be a lot like the DRS manages memory locations & 'kindness host' in the right direction, but I'm not really sure how that would turn out in the long term. If you decide to present more memory to your server, it would be possible to upgrade the other two guests sooner than later
  3. Yes, ask the seller would be the right thing to do. Please note that you will need to put in place an enhanced vMotion to conform to your next "older" CPU then, because you'll have something other than X 5460. I guess you'll have to "intensify" a generation or two, depending on what you have found.

• Change the path information for ESX ESXi hosts to access

  Hello all! I hope you guys can help me.

  I have about 47 hosts that I need to change it Round Robin storage path information. If I make the change in vCenter and restart the host it again changing fixed. So, I thought that I should change it to the level of the host through esxicli.

  I have about twice as many LUNS of the Hitachi SAN. I'd like to see if it is possible to make the change in all areas, in some way, or I need to make the change by host? Also, is there anything that I need to change sides San so that it works or not.

  I saw this VMware KB: modification of path information for ESX/ESXi hosts to access and assume that it is the best plan? But did not know of all put into custody, if necessary, that everyone ran to when doing this?

  You will need to make the change by the host and the KB you'll find is the right method.

• SRM 5.5 - vSphere replication - error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine. A snapshot operation cannot be performed

  Hi all, we have just run a test DR failover of a couple of virtual machines in our protected our failover site and all site swung perfectly, two virtual machines came online and all applications work well. However when we cam to r-eprotect machines virtual, we get some errors.

  One of the virtual machines seems to have lived the reprotect end process, it is still running, but has not moved to 89% for some time. The virtual machine has a couple of grand (a little less than 2 TB) VMDK. slow progress is just a consequence of the large VMDK?

  More worrisome is the virtual machine which don't reprotect at all. It generates an error whenever I click on the "Restore" button (error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine.) A snapshot operation can not be performed).

  
  Does anyone have any ideas as to the cause?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Finally got to the bottom of this. The issue was that reprotect SRM work was trying to dispel any snapshots that were taken on the computer object virtual destination in VMWare, but could not clean snapshots.

  The reason why snapshots would not consolidate was because it was snapshots of temporary VEEAM who in fact any snapshot file listed in the VSAN data store. So when we looked through the browser data store, no snapshot file existed in the virtual computers folder. Trying a manual removal also failed.

  To fix this, we created a snapshot of the virtual machine in the original data center (note is the engine to the bottom of the virtual machine), this effect was to get rid of the 'fade' snapshot that was visible in the Snapshot Manager that VEEAM backup had left behind. Once this had disappeared, the reprotect back to DCA worked perfectly.

• Method for patching only host ESXi4.1 and VC is on the same host

  Hello people,

  I'm patching one of the ESXi, 4.1.0 348481 and Vcenter Server 4.1 Update1 (VM) is sitting on the same host ESXi. Please let me know how I can this patch

  a single host as the Vcenter also will restart. I'm looking to patch manually rather than Update Manager. How patch manually the ESXi host as there is no rounds in ESXi and what serves the Cli. If his VCLI then what is the command for the application of patches and download link. I'm looking to get the procedure. Any help on this

  will be well appreciated.

  Thank you

  vmguy

  If you have another host, you can vMotion your VM vCenter to it, then use AUVS to patch.  If a stand-alone host, then you will need to turn off vCenter and all the guests and try the method below

• Best way to migrate virtual machines to new ESXi hosts with a different configuration of networking.

  We currently have a cluster of 6 Dell machines that move VM 120 or so on ESXi 5.5. Networking consists of a dVswitch with 6 uplinks that map to 6 x 1gig physical NETWORK adapters on each host ESXi... These are grouped into 3 trunks / gal, so we have 2 GB by SHIFTING of the bandwidth and failover. The LAGS are configured as follows:

  LAG1

  Traffic to our (NFS) shared data store and management of ESXi. (vmk0)

  LAG2

  Access to the network of the VM - groups of different ports on different VLANS

  LAG3

  vMotion (vmk1)

  We just bought 6 new Dell machines that have connections fiber 2 x 10gig each. The idea is to bring together in a 20Ggig LAG by machine that will handle all of the traffic, so traffic NFS data store, network traffic from the VM, vMotion and traffic management ESXi.

  
  

  What is the best way to migrate the virtual machine in the cluster existing to the new machines? Many of the virtual machine are essential, so we cannot stop time.

  
  

  Can I create the new DELAY on existing dVswitch and put it as an auxiliary card? I'll be able to do it for all 3 of the above both above LAGS?

  
  

  Thanks for the info Alistar, it's almost here. The bit that was me stumping was that after establishing a new dVswitch I received messages that the new dvSwitch was not reachable on the old host, when I tried to migrate the virtual computer.

  The solution (with the permission of VMware Support) was that I need to add the two dVswitches to one of the old hosts, then assign a physical alternative on this host uplink to a temporary 3 uplink on the new dVswitch. I then tag all the relevant VLAN that uplink.

  This way I can first migrate the virtual machine to the new dVswitch networking so I can move the computer to the new cluster.

  Obviously I can only migrate from old to new cluster with a single host. each virtual machine must be a double for the host with 2 switches, and then to the new cluster. I also had to have the two dVswitches to the same version.

  Fortunately, I had a physical rising spare on the hosts of the old, otherwise I would have had to break one of the trunks and re-use of one of these uplinks.

  Oh and be aware, impossible to use the same names for groups of ports 2 DV switches, they must be unique!

• 8.3 OMSA @ ESXi 6.0 U2 @ R515-> cannot log into the website OMSA to ESXi HOST.--

  Hello guys.

  I've updated my ESXi of U3 5.0 to 6.0 U2 and I lost my OMSA. I can not connect from the web page.

  For the update of the host, I used this ISO file:
  . VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.0.0.update02-3620759.x86_64-Dell_Customized-A00.iso

  After that, I installed OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-WINX64-8.3.0-1908_A00. EXE to a VM W2012S to this host. I can open the web site to connect, but when I try to connect to my ESXi HOST, I received this message: failed to connect... connection error.

  When I saw that I began to check a few things, I ran: 'list of vib software esxcli' and I saw:
  Name Version Date seller installation acceptance level

• How to get the material status of ESXi host of external surveillance system?

  Hello!

  I've got hardware ESXi host information (for example, CPU, disk, etc.)

  that I want back outside a vCenter/ESXi for an external monitoring system.

  I really really slighty possible via Powershell saw...

  Thanks for your help!

  Hello

  the link that I commented, explian how to monitor the status of the ESXi hardware by using the cmdlets for powershell CIM 3.0.

  Not the virtual machines

  This, will you?

  Check this code from the link, you should notice that connects to an esxi host, not virtual machines:

  import-moduleCimCmdlets

• copy the vm-support journal ESXi host bundle

  Can anyone suggest a way for me to make the beam of vm-support of an ESXi 4.0 Update 3 host? We don't allow SSH on our hosts for SCP and Veeam FastSCP came out. I tried several PowerCLI remote CLI commands and vMA and nothing seem to work. Any suggestions?

  We create the bundle in unsupported mode and it seems to store the .tgz under/var/usr file but I do not see the file when I navigate to the folder on the vMA. I guess it is because another user (root) creates the beam and I am connected at VMAs with vi-admin.

  When I run the command vifs.pl: alive < connection_options > g ' VM/VM.txt [StorageName]. "
  Z 'ha-datacenter""tmp/backup/VM.txt. "

  RCLI file cannot be located

  When I run:

  Get-Host HostNameOrIP | Get-Log -Bundle -DestinationPath c:\Storage\Location\

   

  with Powercli I get the following error:

   

  Get-Host: A positional parameter cannot be found by accepting the argument ' *. **
  .**.**'.
  Online: 1 character: 9
  + Get-Host < < < < *. **. **. ** | Get-Log-Bundle - Destination c:\

  gException
  + FullyQualifiedErrorId: PositionalParameterNotFound, Microsoft.PowerShell
  . Commands.GetHostCommand

  (I replaced the IP with * for reasons of confidentiality)

  Allows SSH really my ONLY option?

  Your partition you want to pull the bundle of newspaper are there enough space? Sometimes, the size of the file for this could be huge. To check the free space on the Service Console, use "vdf h", the v includes VMFS, while "df-h" excludes VMFS.

  So you might want to change the location where empty you these files.

  You can also manually run vm-support - w/vmfs/volume/guid. Where guid is the guid a volume with a lot of space.

  /etc/opt/VMware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg will actually show you where your logs are generated by default, and the number of files you have. Try to move / backup the files in/usr/lib/vmware/hostd/docroot/downloads. This contains all the files in package old newspapers. This should free up space to run the command vm-support.

  And Yes, you can try to activate SSH to see if that helps too.

  I hope this helps.

• Details on the VMA for free ESXi and ESXi 4.0 to 4.1 upgrade

  Hi all

  I recently did a upgrade to ESXi 4.0 U1 to ESXi 4.1 (and before doing so did not noticed that MAS will be more usable in 4.1). I wanted to just make sure that there is currently no way to using VMrun to automate the decommissioning and snapshot and reboot of the Guest OS on ESXi 4.1 and that there is not just an error in my code?

  vmrun h https://ESXI_SERVER/sdk u root Pei _PASSWORD_ t stop server "VM_NAME" "" sweet

  I work for a non-profit and my budget is tight at best (around $150.00 USD) per year for this project. My only choice is to roll back to 4.0 U1?

  Brent cordially

  When you say vMA will be more usable in 4.1, what do you mean by that? If you have upgraded to vSphere 4.1 and you want to use vMA, then you must download the version 4.1 of vMA compared to version 4.0.

  If you are referring to the license "bug" to VIX, VIX releases allowing yet it works on ESXi free is VIX 1.6.2 but the problem has also been fixed on the side of ESX (i) of things from 4.1. If you rely on this feature, you can return to 4.0.x.

  That said, you always have the option to use the Busybox Console (Tech Support Mode) to manage and perform various host and virtual machine using vimshoperations, it works with both a licensed version and free ESXi as the commands are executed within TSM and this could be an alternative without having to demote ESXi

• Objective 7.1 - guarantee the issue of ESX/ESXi hosts

  Hey all,.

  I am currently working on my study guide for the DCA review and have fallen somewhat with the ESX/ESxi Secure objective 7.1 hosts and more specifically the section for "Customize SSH Seetings for increased security. The only documentation I could find about it is in the "ESX Configuration Guide" on page 202 and the VMware KB 1017910. In ESX config guide details how to REDUCE the requirements of security on default (allowing root access, change the version of the SSH protocol, etc.), and the article explains how to set a timeout for the technical support of Mode (both local and remote). I guess these aren't the types of answers they seek, as the section is to increase the level of security.

  Any clarification or possilbe advice that anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated.

  TIA,

• PowerCLI script for join ESXi hosts to Active Directory

  Is there a script that I can run to join the ESXi hosts Active Directory?  I have over 100 guests that I need to join AD and want to add it script instead of using the GUI VC.

  Thank you!

  Matt

  You can browse all of your servers, but you would need to make fully automated, is get the credentials somewhere.

  You have different passwords on all ESXi servers?

  In this case, you could do something like that

  $cred = get-Credential # prompt for user and password

  Get-VMHost | Set-VMHostADDomain -ADJoin:$true -Domain$domain-Credential $cred

  If you do not have the same account/password for all servers ESXi, you want probably asked for each host.

  You could possibly temporarily store in a file and read this file.

  $accounts = @ {}

  Import-Csv "C:\accounts.csv" | %{

  $accounts [$_.hostname] = $_.password

  }

  Get-VMHost | Set-VMHostADDomain -ADJoin:$true -Domain$domain-User root -Password $accounts[$_.Name]

  The CSV file contains 2 columns, called host name and the other called password.

  We read the CSV file and store the passwords in a hash table, where the host name is the key.

  We use the hash table to fetch the password of the Set-VMHostADDomain cmdlet tree.

• Don't drop the 6s for MacBook iPhone no devices found

  Hello

  at first I wan't to apologize if my language is bad, I'm not very good in English.

  Now to my question. I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2009 running OS X Yosemite. I tried to send a photo from my iPhone 6 s more to my Mac via AirDrop, but my Mac does not show my iPhone in the Finder and my iPhone also does not show my Mac. This could be a compatibility issue? Maybe someone of you knows the answer?

  Greetings

  Hello Dominik,

  Welcome to the communities of Apple Support!

  We understand that you want to send a picture from your iPhone to your Mac via AirDrop, but the devices do not see each other.

  The reason for this behavior is because of Mac model you are currently using. You have the MacBook Pro (mid 2009) will not meet the requirements to use Mac to Mac AirDrop, but to send or receive with an iPhone, the Mac must be a Yosemite 2012 or later running or a later version.

  The following article explains these more detailed information:

  Use AirDrop to send the contents of your Mac - Apple Support

  Release system requirements

  Send items to an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, or to receive these devices, you need a 2012 model or later Mac with OS X Yosemite or later version, except the Mac Pro (mid-2012).

  To send items to another Mac, you must:

  • MacBook Pro (Late 2008) or later, excluding the MacBook Pro (17 inch, late 2008)
  • MacBook Air (late 2010) or later version
  • MacBook (Late 2008) or later, excluding the white MacBook (Late 2008)

• Portege R700 - Win7 - cannot find the driver for USB Multimedia Audio Device

  Are there any Windows 7 drivers for the "USB Multimedia Audio Device" found on a R700 with the Toshiba Hi Speed Port Replicator II (PA3916U-1PRP)?

  In "Devices and printers", there is a device in the section called a + USB Multimedia Audio Device + Unspecified +. Windows 7 can not find the drivers for it. Audio seems to be working through the port replicator.

  The only related issue I've seen is that sometimes, when I press the "eject" button, Windows complains that a device is in use and the ejection is defective. This is very similar to that reported as ' [Undock R700 question P3838 |]» http://forums.Toshiba.com/T5/General-troubleshooting/R700-undock-from-P3838-issue/TD-p/149453].

  In my case Windows tell me an application to use it or the device in use. I strongly suspect the audio device.

  I have not found a solution so eject manually despite the failure or sleep it and then eject manually. I didn't notice the two approaches being necessarily better.

  HI PeterH,

  Just a simple question: do you use the preinstalled version of Windows 7 at Toshiba and you have most unknown devices in Device Manager or just this USB Multimedia Audio device?
