• Live migration between servers Intel Xeon E5410 and Intel Xeon E5506?

  Hello.

  Is it possible to run the dynamic migration between servers Intel Xeon E5410 and Intel Xeon E5506 processor?

  Both servers are running ESX 4.0

  Try to migrate will cause an error as UC and hostbitys do not match.

  I; m impossible and VCA (like a Core2 family and another family of Core i7).

  I don't mind to give up a part of the 'new feature' the Core i7.

  Thank you

  You must turn off all the virtual machines on the host with 55xx Xeons before turning on the VCA.

• migrate virtual machines to new host

  How can I migrate easily all my virtual machines (12) on my current 5.1 ESXi host to new host ESXi 5.1... ?

  [1] put the former host's hard drive in the new host and perform an upgrade from 5.1 ESXi installation disk (the hard drives of the two hosts are the same)?

  [2] put HDD in the new host as a secondary, pop disk in the ESXi 5.1 installation disc to install ESXi 5.1 on the new host's hard drive, but migrate/import virtual machines from the data on the secondary drive (drive old host) store? the host of the former

  [3] pop in the ESXi 5.1 installation disc to install ESXi 5.1 on the new host's hard drive. Once completed, put the hard drive of the host of the former in the new host as a secondary drive and copy/import virtual machines from the data store on the secondary drive (drive old host) using VMware vSphere Client?

  [4] install ESXi 5.1 on the new host, he networked with the old host and use VMware vCenter Converter to import virtual machines from the old host?

  What might work is engaging the larger disk of 'old' to a SATA port once you have installed the disk again, ESXi. Attaching to a port USB probably won't work because VMFS volumes are not supported on USB devices.

• No network connection to the virtual computer after migration manually to the new host

  We have added six new hosts to our environment, and I was tasked to test connections of VIRTUAL LAN on each of them before we move VM production of their.  This is probably a simple problem, but I am new to VMWare and need help.  I already talked to our network guys, and he assures me that the physical switches are setup and working properly.  We work a vDS.

  I'm testing 14 VLANs on six new hosts.  All but one are constantly working.  (They all work on the hosts of origin which were in force before.)  I have a static IP configuration on my test VM and MAC is set to automatic.  I checked the MAC does not change when you migrate to other hosts and the VLAN correct is listed in the settings the VM network (it is not empty).  Him VLAN will work on three of the six hosts, but not all at the same time.  The strange thing is that guests at work are constantly changing.  For example, this morning hosts11, 12 and 14 may work, but this afternoon, that could change at hosts12, 14 and 16.  I don't understand why they would change on their own.

  My test consists of VM testing, migration manually, powering back, then he ping from my computer off.  Of course everything works when I get ping responses.  When I get no answers, the test of the virtual machine has a yellow exclamation mark on the network icon in the system tray.

  What should I do to fix this?

  How is the network configured?  You have a different NIC port/cable for each VLAN or Trunking used on the side of the switch?

  If you use circuits on the side of the switch, then your GRPE ports virtual switch a VLAN ID needs to match the vlan is underway to shared resources.  No matter if it's a standard switch or switch distributed... you still need this ID of vlan.

  I've seen the random question that you encounter if missing one or more of of the uplinks on the side of the switch the VLAN.

• customers brought to new host and an OlioWeb has stopped working

  I'm trying to solve one of my virtual machines OlioWeb. I get an error that it is not being implemented. Recently I carried all customers to another host, so I could increase the number of hosts that I test on a chassis full load. Everything works except OlioWeb1, and he refuses to put in place. For a short ride, I can see Java fired on it. I have rebuilt (as well as its database), but it does not solve tht. I loaded in a different VMMARK2. CONFIG to a good known result set, not yet set.

  Is there another way to solve this?

  Thank you

  -Kirk

  Can delete you these files?

  C:\vclient1\olioweb\rain\config\profiles.config.VMmark2.CLIENT1.JSON

  C:\vclient1\olioweb\rain\config\rain.config.VMmark2.CLIENT1.JSON

  If so, can you rerun your test, and see if they are to be recreated?

  This error is usually either a wrong path, the files are locked or if client1 is actually solve a unexpected of the system.

• SSI does not not on the new host

  Hello
  
  Moved site to a new host, and the SSI is does not load correctly. I copied the complete site for the new host, and I'm sure everything is copied across. I had no problem at all, configuration, and use of SSI on the old host. According to the cpanel, in Apache handlers, SSI is enabled on the new host. Only the name servers point to the former host still, until I can get the new one works fine.
  
  "I used DW to create the code originally, like <!--virtual="/ssi/rhs.html #include "-->
  
  where ssi is the folder that contains the two include files.
  
  New hosted site is here http://ans25.midphase.com/~saacpar0/
  
  Old site with SSI work is here http://www.saac.com.au/
  
  Can anyone help on this please?

  Thank you Alan and Murray.

  I thought that it could be something like the temporary site link. Thanks for your info on this Alan.

  Murray, thanks for you comments as well. Set them too.

• Replacement of host existing with the new host/material

  We are trying to replace our old 5.0 ESXi hosts that cannot be upgraded to ESXi 5.1 with new hardware that will support ESXi 5.1 and beyond.  Existing hosts are members of a cluster of vCenter vCenter has been updated to the latest version  We are preinstalled ESXi 5.1 on new hosts and tried to set them up according to the configurations of existing hosts, except for host names and network IPs management.

  First of all, are we on track to replace existing hosts?

  Second, what are the next steps we would take?

  We have read the various messages that seem to follow the steps below, but want to ensure that our incense are applied correctly, we don't miss any major or minor measures, for iSCSI, reusing names existing ESXi hosts and IPs or something else causing the replacement to fail.

  1. the vMotion VMs to host existing to another host

  2. remove the existing host to vCenter

  3. stop the existing host

  4. turn on the new host

  5. Add the new host to vCenter cluster

  6. apply the configuration changes

  7. the vMotion VMs to new host

  8. follow the same steps in the next new host

  We lose all the steps?

  Aloha, you were right, this magic file is called state.tgz: VMware KB: locally to restore a configuration of ESXi sauvegardΘ state.tgz

• New host is added to the cluster

  I took over the administration of a cluster 4 host running ESX 4 U1.  The processors are Xeon E5335.  The admin before ordered 2 extra guests with Xeon E5620 CPUs.  I wonder if vmotion will work when I add new hosts, it looks like in KB, I found that I have to change the mask on new hosts and select CVS on all hosts for this to work.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Just turn on CVS at the level of the cluster before adding new hosts. And vMotion works perfectly after that.

• Want to migrate the database (4node RAC) size of 4 TB of 10.2.0.5 at 11.2.0.4 on the new servers where the new type servers Primary (4 nodes) and Eve (4 nodes).

  Want to migrate the database (4node RAC) 4 TB size of 10.2.0.5(8 rompt = 4 prim/4 veille) to 11.2.0.4 on the new servers where the new type servers Primary (4 nodes) and Eve (4 nodes).  So with minimum downtime I have restore and recover again on 11.2.0.4 server must then clone that to create the day before.   Here, my question is can I take 0 backupp level before hand and restore on target (new) then primary at the time to leave the downtime take backup of level 1 of 10g and then retrieve it on 11g (new server) after successful recovery I'll perform clone to form eve of database on the new server. does this strategy work? If it works, can someone suggest me steps how can I need recover with backup after restoring the backup of level 0 on 11g. Like should I upgrade before you retrieve it with level 1 backup or I can update and then recover with the level 1 backup from the old server to the new server.

  Here is former servers of RHEL 5 version and new servers are RHEL 6 release.

  1 backup L0

  2 restore L0

  3. L1 and ArchiveLogs database backup

  4. copy BackupPieces L1 and ArchiveLog BackupPieces on new server

  5 CATALOGUE START WITH... to catalog the BackupPieces

  6. TOGETHER until lastavailable SNA / Archivelog + 1

  7 RECOVER DATABASE (should automatically identify the L1s and to apply ArchiveLogs)

  8 STOP

  9 START UPGRADE

  10. run catupgrd.sql

  You should also take care on the locations of the data file, dump, instance settings destinations, all link database from the database, connectivity application etc.

• How to move VMS to new storage AND new hosts

  Hello

  I'm having a hard time find, how can I move all the VMS NFS storage to a new storage iscsi (SAN HP). We are also the introduction of new material for guests, so throughout that this is an entirely new environment of vCenter (also from vSphere 4.1 to 5.5). My first thought was to attach new storage to the old hosts. Then do a migration of storage, one for a while (off voltage machines), remove the virtual machine from the old vCenter and then add them to the new environment of vCenter. But we have exhausted all NICs on the hosts of old, so I can't join the new storage, and I can't share a vmkernel for iscsi and nfs port.

  You have any suggestions how I can address the issue?

  It would work if you are very good to have downtime to your virtual machine.

  If you incur no downtime, you can try to install the same set of ESX (i) version on a few new series of servers (for example 10 points on 50 new servers) and add them to the old CR and proceed step by step below

  -Configure the old NFS storage on new set of servers

  -Migrate (vMotion) all VMS on old NFS to the new set of servers

  -Remove all the new set of VC servers

  -Add the same set of servers (that have been migrated from VM) to new VC

  -Migrate all virtual machines to the new storage and then upgrade your new set of servers

  In my view, this way you can avoid having a downtime for your virtual machine.

• Migration from old to new SAN SAN

  Hello. I was hoping someone could point me to a white paper or a procedure for Dell because I don't think that this is a rare situation.

  I have a PS6500 I need moved to a new PS6210. I use VMware with three hosts and I need the whole kit and the shebang to the new San. All procedures out there so I'm not reconstruct the pieces of suggestions of online?

  Thanks in advance,

  Hello

  There is no procedure formal whitepaper that it pulled out of the basic features of the PS Series table.  The ability to add/remove members to a live band.

  The 6500 will need to be updated at least 7.1.x firmware before trying to add in the 6210.  The 6210 is likely to 8.x firmware.  If so, you must upgrade the 6500 to 8.1.14.

  You'll want to create a temporary pool for the 6210.  I.e. "maint".   When you add in the 6210, it will be in the default pool.  Before you set the RAID policy, move the 6210 in the pool "maint".  When you select the Member, it invites you to configure the RAID, select No.  The menu in the middle of the screen will be "move Member".   Select, then you will see the pool "maint" you have created.  What to choose.  Now the 6210 is assigned to this pool.   Configure the other network interface, and then select the desired Member RAID policy.  Leave the RAID to finish the construction.   If you have not already set it to update the 6210 at least 8.1.14 now would be a good time to do so.  In addition, the latest version of the software is 9.0.

  If at this point you have two choices.  You can create volumes on the 6210 Member, format it with VMFS and use storage vMotion to migrate the virtual machines.   Alternatively, you can merge two pools together.  In the graphical interface under "Storage Pools", there is an option "merge pools".   Select the pool "maint" and when you select Merge pools, it will show the available pools to move it to.    The move will appear in the moment.  However, in the background, the space is balanced on to the 6210.  According to the amount of space in use, to move it could take some time.

  So if you have taken the first choice, once you have all the data passing above, you can remove this member.  Select the 6500, right of the mouse and select 'Remove member' ' this table will be reset to the factory and removed from the group settings.

  If you have merged the pools, once the space is balanced, you will create a new pool.  'temp' for example.  The select the 6500, right 'move the Member' of the mouse and select the pool "temp".   This will push the remaining data on 6500 the 6210.   Once the move is completed, use the option 'Remove member' to remove.

  Question: The 6210 is able 10GbE, you're going to be running to 10GbE?

  Kind regards

  Don
