• VM automatically migrated back to ESXi host

  Hello

  I recently installed and configured a Cluster DRS on vSphere 5 on the customer site.

  In the cluster, we added 5 ESXi host. Four HP DL580 G7 with Xeon X 7560 processor and a HP DL580 G5 X 7460 Xeon processor.

  Apparently the X74xx and the X75xx processors are not compatible for vMotion and DRS is impossible between ESXi hosts.

  I tried to vMotion VM of a loaded ESXi, DL580 G7 host, for DL580 G5 the only customer, but the wizard gave me
  a compatibility error saying that;

  "CPU host is compatible with the requirements of the virtual machine to CPUID level 0 x 1 'ecx' register."

  I tired to use EVC on cluster ma to make compatible CPU but no luck! could not execute predefined EVC profiles!

  I just turned off the virtual machine, so I'd be cold - migrate to the ESXi host.

  Could do when it was off, but when I turned it on it automatically ran on the previous ESXi Host which is held before the migration.

  For me, it was strange! because firstly he moved successfully to the new host of ESXi, but came back on the other after power.

  I have two questions about the scenario above;

  1. why the VM turned their backs on the other host ESXi?

  2. How can I solve the problem of cpu compatibility?

  Thank you,

  NetRock

  ' VCA Can' active br because the cluster contains hosts that lack VCA-compatible equipment.

  Please check the BIOS of the host settings and do 'VT - x' and the 'no. Execute Disable"are both set to"enabled ".

• ESXi 5 vmotion standard license

  Hi all

  I recently updated my server vCenter to 5.0 and added a bunch of 4 hosts ESXi (all standard license

  ) A bit of my grapes are always run with esx 4.0 and I have them improve gradually. I learned from the license of vsphere 5 which in Standard license now includes vMotion but when I try to migrate a betwween ESXi hosts in cluster ESXi 5.0 5.0, I can see the option are all disabled. Please advice what needs to be done before I can use the vMoition function in ESXi 5.0 with the standard license.

  Any help will be much appreciated.

  See you soon

  No worries,

  but I recoommend to read some documents from vmware.

• VMware Server Version 2.0.2 - migrate VM to ESXi 5.5?

  Hey guys

  I use an old Dell T410 with VMware Server Version 2.0.2 (Build 203138) server running on top of serving 2008R1.

  I'm looking to install a new server and you want to run ESXi 5.5.

  Is it possible to convert VM VMware Server Version 2.0.2 (Build 203138) to ESXi 5.5?

  Otherwise I'm running Shadowprotect. If I can't convert, is it possible to do a HIR to ESXi 5.5 from an image of a VM from VMware Server Version 2.0.2 (Build 203138) Shadowprotect?

  Finally, I was looking for to run ESXi 5.5 Essentials (not more) on the new physical host and then use the old host as a temporary backup with ESXi 5.5 too. I have to buy 2 x 5.5 ESXi licenses to run it on both machines?

  If you want more specifications about the network made me know.

  Kind regards

  Aaron

• Migration of virtual machines to vCD and again in a standard ESXi cluster itself?

  We currently have a relatively small cluster of ESXi (5.0.0 1489271) which uses a dedicated installation vCenter (5.0.0 1300600) and an instance of vCD (vCD 5.1.2.1068441).  Our goal is to move the virtual machines running in this configuration to our standard ESXi clusters (5.5.0 1892794) supported by installation of different vCenter (5.5.0 1891313).

  The instance of vCD seems to add additional parameters to the level of the virtual machine that prevents the VM of to be easily transferred out of the instance of vCD.  What we are looking for is a way to easily migrate these servers on and completely remove the vCD of the equation.  The only details around that we found cause downtime for exports out of vCD can be extended to reason the total amount of drive to the VM and VM level, which we really do not think it is an option to open a window of time to stop long enough to work through this process.

  Did someone went down this road before?  We have approximately 120 virtual machines in the cluster vCD using about 52 TB of disk.

  Maybe we're wrong understand something fundamental about the nature of migration of VMs on the vCD instance, but we have not been able to find many details on what options exist to make this move.  We have spoken several times with VMware support in this regard.  They mentioned a potential tool in the work within engineering migrate vCD to vCAC (which isn't really fall under our goal unless vCAC would then provide a clear path to return the virtual machines to a standard ESXi cluster).

  Any suggestions or ideas are appreciated.

  I am a colleague of GTC and wanted to just sent to our discussion of this topic with the help of VMware.  Basically, we should be able to Setup VMs in vCenter, outside of vCloud Director, pointing them to the same files VMDK and MAC then power off VM vCD and power on VM vCenter.

  : The NASA-EAST region

  Moment of validation: 2014-09-05 11:32 EDT

  Severity of the request for assistance: 4 - low

  Description of the request for assistance: we are looking for ways simple and less disruptive migrate VMS off vCloud Director and vCenter management.

  We have the advantage of a single principle in vCloud, managed by a vCenter and the network configuration is simple with no VXLAN.

  What are the problems with the realization of the following?

  vCD 5.1 is managed by vCenter 5.0, the final result will move VMs in vCenter even

  -Create a new virtual machine in vCenter that points to the same vmdk files as virtual machine in vCD you want to migrate, allocate same configurations of processor, memory, and network (we do not use the vCD with advanced networking)

  -Turning off the virtual computer in vCD

  -Once the vCD WHAT VM is off, power on VM in vCenter

  We must ensure that the VM vCD never gets turned on again and then when we are completely finished with all migrations of VMS in vCenter we abandon vCD.

  Of course there are details to help users migrate to how they use the vCD to vSphere vCenter client web interface or web interface.

  Entry date: 04/09/2014

  Since the opening of the case, I had interviews with several members of VMware support staff and these additional points were added.

  -Configure vCenter VM with the same vNIC driver MAC and like vCD VM vNIC

  -Rename VMDK files to make for easier management, or if not renamed then detach from the propelled out of vCD VM

• Speed low migration between 2 esxi host

  Hello!

  I have 2 Server esxi 5.5. They have two stores of data and 1 GB ethernet. When migrates a to another esxi esxi VM, network speed shows 150 MB/s and write speed of 30 MB on the disk. During the migration from one disk to another within the same host write speed about 60 MB. And when I test the speed with iperf between two VM on different hosts, shows 900 MB/s speed.

  Please help me, why speed is so low when migrating from one host to others?

  And then migrating NFS to a data store local speed 150 MB/s and when, from the local to NFS push up to 900 MB/s.

• Migrating to ESX ESXi machine

  Hello

  New to ESX, I was handed a task and I hope you can help me with.

  I was prompted to install a new server on a segment closed my business network. Asked me if the server can be virtual, as it is expected that the server should be migrated to the ESX infrastructure large company sometime next year.

  The server is an older Dell PowerEdge R300, 2 * Xeon 3 GHz, 2 GB Ram, 160 GB. Should support ESXi.

  My plan initial isto install ESXi on the server and install the single virtual server from W2K3 on the box. Then, next year, migrate this virtual W2K3 Server unique to my companys ESX 4.0 environment.

  Unfortunantly, I'm not able to install directly on the ESX infrastructure of society, and the server must be installed with due next week.

  Currently, the network closed, I'm to install the virtual server only consists of 2 clients and a server.

  In your opinion, is it worth the time install ESXi on my Dell, with the sole purpose to be able to more easily migrate the unique virtual W2K3 for ESX Server later? Is it still possible? Or is that what I should just install the server with W2K3, forget to ESXi and want to migrate the server ESX using VCenter Converter?

  Any contribution is appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Hi and welcome to the community

  The server is an older Dell PowerEdge R300, 2 * Xeon 3 GHz, 2 GB Ram, 160 GB. Should support ESXi.

  check on the page HCL,
  http://www.VMware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php

  2 GB of RAM is not RAM a lot, how much you want to assign to the VM?

  My plan initial isto install ESXi on the server and install the single virtual server from W2K3 on the box. Then, next year, migrate this virtual W2K3 Server unique to my companys ESX 4.0 environment.

  good plan :-)

  In your opinion, is it worth the time install ESXi on my Dell, with the sole purpose to be able to more easily migrate the unique virtual W2K3 for ESX Server later? Is it still possible? Or is that what I should just install the server with W2K3, forget to ESXi and want to migrate the server ESX using VCenter Converter?

  Yes, it is possible to spend your stand-alone host to your ESX VM infra.  First of all check if what will be installed on that VM is taken in charge on the virtual machine, not the vendor supports their applications on virtual machine

• Migration/upgrade to ESXi 4.1

  We are running ESX 4.1 on 3 hosts.  We organize an IBM N SAN with NFS series on 3 data stores.  I need to upgrade and have a few questions before I get started.  The intention going ESXi but was curious if the licenseing is the same.  Also, i will need to install a new installation or can it be improved?  Are there other requirements for other than 64-bit vCenter spcific?  Any help is appreciated.  Thank you.

  Perry

  Yes, the licensing is the same for the classic ESX and ESXi.  However, there is no option to upgrade the classic for ESXi, you need to rebuild. Since you already have ESX 4.1, you use vCenter 4.1.  There is nothing you need to do to prepare for a transition of ESX to ESXi vCenter level.

• ESXi 4.1 Standard for VSphere Essentials?

  Hello. We have two hosts with Esxi embedded 4.1 standard. We use local, non-shared storage, and soon we will not anytime shared storage.

  In order to obtain cost-effective centralized managemend (right now I have to use separate Vi clients for each host), I was instructed to check Vsphere Essentials.

  It looks like it may work for us as we only use not the more advanced of the Standard license options, however I wonder if I'll have to re - install Vsphere on my hosts in order to centrally manage, or if the console provided with Vsphere Essentials will centalized management of my servers Esxi pre-existing without changing my installation current Esxi... does make sense? My Vmware sales representative wasn't sure of what I would have to do.

  Thank you!

  PK

  VMware binaries are the same for all editions, so there is usually no problem with replacement of the license key. However, with the embedded edition that you mentioned, I'm not sure. It's an OEM version specific provider ESXi or did you install the version of VMware? In the case of a specific edition of the seller, you can contact the vendor to find out if the license change is allowed/possible. If it is not possible to change the license, it should be possible to reinstall ESXi on the USB/SD device without problems for virtual machines. All you need to do in this case is to reconfigure the host (for example, network, NTP,...)

  About centralized management, there is also no re-installation of the ESXi servers needed. All you need to do is deploy a virtual instance of vCenter Server (based on Windows or the Appliance vCenter) and connect the hosts to this instance. This can be done without interruption of service for virtual machines.

• ESXi 4 VMs migration from one host to another without HA

  We are facing a problem of automatic migration with VM ESXi migration between hosts in the cluster. Even though we have disabled HA and no reason apparent for migration. We have two virtual machines residing on a host, and the host does not work normally. However, I have noticed that when we have turned off or the other virtual machines and once again, he climbs to another host in the cluster.

  The host tasks log shows now that the migration has been made by the SYSTEM when the power on. And once one of the virtual machines migrated even without power and with a similar journal entry showing that this has been done by the system. This can happen due to a shortage of resources on the host computer even if HA is disabled or are there other reasons that this can happen?

  Hello

  I'm sure that's the reason for your behavior described.

• ESX 3.0.3 - any which way to upgrade (migration) in ESXi 5?

  Hi guys,.

  I am faced with the task to get 6 autonomous, unpatched, ESX 3.0.3 welcomes to ESXi 5.0 (target will be a VCenter Server Cluster) without spending money on new hardware no need to mention that guests who are run on these servers must remain as they are (most WIndows 2003 SP2 servers, downtime would be without problem.

  Second challenge is that I can't create new data warehouses, as the area of SAN is already at the limit

  Y at - it a Migration or upgrade path taken in charge for this task. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

  Thank you guys

  See you soon

  A few considerations, I think that you are considering.

  I prefer rather a new installation of esxi5.0

  Why not consider?

  If you don't have all the data critical because an upgrade, you must migrate and knock some known issues.

  3.5--> 4.1--> 5.0

  in any case if you still prefer to upgrade

  1. put all hosts to 3.5---> right

  2. install vCenter 5.0---> right

  3 bring the 6 autonomous under the vCenter---> right

  4. go on with being level and migration of servers ESXi 5---> you may need to upgrade to 4.x before going to 5.x

• Hyper-v 2008 R2 for Vmware ESXI 5.5 problem

  Hello world

  We are migrating to Vmware ESXI with HP 3PAR storage we have some important servers as vms on Microsoft Hyperv 2008 R2, I downloaded and installed the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client on the host Microsoft hyper-v connected to the localmachine as administrator and also to define the credentials of esxi distance everything works fine until it blocks 33% retried the process several times but without success , I collected the log, if I understand correctly this is something related to timeout or something maybe someone clears me on the issue, thanks a lot

  also a question should I try to install the stand-alone converter on each virtual machine, hyper v or should I install on the computer host and make the conversion?

  is it possible to make the conversion without turning off the virtual machines?

  Thanks in advance

  You do not need to install the converter on each machine, only the converter agent, which is installed automatically when it is not found on the destination computer.
