Migration of VMware infrastructure

• Update 3 for vmware Infrastructure 3 is a comprehensive update?

  Is update 3 for vmware Infrastructure 3, a comprehensive update or should I install the update 1 and day 2 first?

  I believe that if you apply the update 3 with the Update Manager and then rescan with your baseline, you will see fewer missing updates.  It should take care of all update 1 and day 2 patches.  If you want to apply update 3 make sure to run all of the patches that have been released since then as well, there are a few recent bugfixes of update 3.

  If all goes well with this number of hosts you can eliminate the time instead of reduce, if you have the DRS in fully automatic mode when you use the Manager to update to migrate the guests off the coast to other hosts for you while patch.

• Sizing of VMware Infrastructure

  If you are going to build a VMware infrastructure, consider yourself the hyperthreading the processor function in order to have several virtual machines per server.

  Example:

  carrots 2 x 10 = 20 hearts (Physics)

  40 carrots (with hyperthreaading)

  I guess that 75% will be used for virtual machines and 1 vCPU per VM

  1-15 virtual machines for physics

  2 30 VMs with hyperthreading

  which is the best architecture, based on the physical cores or it is safe to use the feature hyperthreading for VM deployment.

  Finally, if I use the physical cores, is it safe I guess 1 physical core = 4 vCPU?

  Thank you!

  You must not consider hyper-threading, you still share the physical heart.  Here is a good article about the sizing and hyper-threading Gotcha Hyper-Threading with Machine vCPU virtual sizing - Wahl network

  It's safe I guess 1 physical core = 4 vCPU?

  You should never assume anything in a design unless support can be posted in the event of oversubscription, you must confirm that your workload won't suffer degradation performance if the CPU use increases.  You really need to understand the workload and usage patterns.

• migration of VMware

  Hello

  I have a question of rapid migration of vmware.

  We install a new server r420 dell poweredge at a customer site. It's
  replacement of a dell poweredge r310 server running vmware 4.0. It is managed
  VMware vcenter server at Headquarters.

  If I do the new r420 managed by vcenter as well and make a host-to-host
  migration, he will try to remove the virtual machines from the link to the head office
  and then back down to the new server? With the virtual machines being about 200 GB I have
  don't want that pass the link as his "only adsl speed.

  Thank you

  Daniel.

  Welcome to the VMware forums communities.  The host will communicate directly with them to migrate the virtual computer.  You'll just want to make sure that the two hosts each other can ping the IP address or the host name by which they are registered in vCenter.

• For Vmware Infrastructure details DropDown is EMPTY

  I'm a newbie in the converter and I'm doing a P2V using Converter 5.0 running on a Windows 7 computer where I am using VMware Workstation 7.  The source is a physical machine running Ubuntu 11.10.

  I spent an initial problem regarding root privileges using sudo in config xml files the agent and the worker.  When I get to the next screen, I expect to be able to use the drop-down list to select VMware Workstation Vmware infrastructure (see screenshot).  The problem is that there are NO options to choose from.  When I click on the drop down arrow, nothing happens.

  I did research in the community and on Google but could not find something to help.

  Everyone knows this?  Can you please help?  Thank you.

• VMware Infrastructure Client hanging

  Hi guys,.

  IM new to the world of VMware sorry, I have a server ESX 3.5.0 Build 82663 on a Dell Poweredge 2950 Server VMware Infrastructure Client 2.5.0 build 84767 on a Dell Insperon running Windows 7 workstation, the question I have is that the VIC has recently started to hang when I try to shoot to the top of the list of the VM on the ESX Server machines. The only way I found to fix it is to reboot physically the ESX Server and then I can reconnect the VIC and get the list and start all the VM images on it, but sometimes it will freeze just when starting a picture and if I click on the power on option, once again, I get a message indicating that you cannot start a power on operation when it is being , and then I'm back to square one where the VIC is frozen again.

  Is it possible to restart the game VIC in the ESX box without having to restart the ESX Server?

  Thanks in advance

  Werner

  How much memory you have configured for the service console? Perhaps, if this isn't there, set up to 800MB.  In addition, confirmed the same behavior by launching the VIC from another post of work?

• Fatal error VMware Infrastructure Client

  Hello.

  I use vSphere Client (version 4.1.0 build 258902) and vCenter Server (version 4.0.0 build 208111) with an IBM BladeCenter.  I am trying to download files on a satastore, but just as he begins to transfer I get this error and closes the client:

  VMware Infrastructure Client fatal error: (app-4048) <-this number changes every time, it's never the same

  Exception 0 x 80000003 (debug break point) has occurred.

  A core file is available in "C:\users\Dave\AppData\Roaming\VMware\vpxclient-3784.dmp".  Please

  ask for support and include the content of the core file.

  To collect the data to submit to the VMware support, run 'vm-support.

  We will respond on the basis of your entitlement to support.

  I get this error, regardless of the OS (tried Windows XP and 7), logged-in user or data store used (we have about 8).  Fails also on local storage for the blade so it can not be anything to do with the fiber storage attached.

  Anyone hit this problem before and have a solution?

  Thank you very much

  Dave

  If you use vCenter 4.0 I advise to use the same version for vSphere client because there has been some problems with the customer for 4.1 when used with mixed versions of ESX

  Let us know your results.

• Alternative to VMware Infrastructure Web Access?

  I had absolutely horrible experience, try using the VMware Infrastructure Web Access site to manage my VMware Server 2 (2.0.0 - 2.0.2), but I spare you the rant about the problems.  In short, I expect more distributed as alpha software.

  Is there another program of VMware or someone else who will allow me to manage VMware Server and access the console of the virtual machine.  I liked the product for Server 1.x, but unfortunately, they removed support.

  Yes, he must be the customer of ESX3.5.  Specifically Virtual Infrastructure Client 2.5.  I do not know which build ESX3.5 I got the customer, but it was there are a few updates.  So, you might try the extraction of the ESX3.5u1 or u2, if the current version of u5 does not work.

  A major limitation with the VIClient is that it cannot completely handle material type 7 VMs.  (e.g.: Server2.)  You can start the virtual and other computers, but cannot change the settings of the virtual machine.  If the virtual machines are the older type 4 (e.g.: Server1) then you can make full use of the VIClient for everything.  However, the type 4 does not support USB2.  You don't have to have all your virtual machines as type 4.  My server has a mixture of types, but I have to remember which are of type 7 and use the web interface to modify the virtual machine settings.  But apart from that, I use the VIClient to display the console for all virtual machines.

  If you can live with the older hardware type, the VIClient is absolutely the best way to manage the Server2.

• Questions of VMware Infrastructure Client License

  I have a few questions about lincesnese EXS3.5 and VMIC

  I downloaded the vmware infrastructure client to manage it and gives me the following on the VirtualCenter server warning.

  I see the following on top of VMIC software

  localhost.localdomain ESXserver3.5.0...: "assessment 5 days remaining.

  Also, it appears an aboutVirtual Center Server warning

  Is ESX3.5i my unregistered server or my client infrastructure?

  I was under the impression that VMIC and ESX3.5i are free tools?

  Is it not the case?

  Also, what is the relationship between the server, VirtualCenter and ESX3.5i and VMIC?

  If someone can point to explanations on this, it will be a great help.

  And don't somefeatures disappear after assessment?

  Thanks in advance

  Your ESX3.5i server is not functional in eval mode. It is a free product, but you must obtain and enter a license key. You should have received this once you download the software from vmware.

  I was under the impression that VMIC and ESX3.5i are free tools?

  They are both.

  Is it not the case?

  Yes they are free, but you must enter the free license key that you received from vmware. It has been some time, I do not remember if I have received me by e-mail or on the download page.

  Also, what is the relationship between the server, VirtualCenter and ESX3.5i and VMIC?

  vCenter (VirtualCenter server) is the management server can manage multiple ESX/ESXi hosts at once. It also provides some additional features, such as vmotion, integration with active directory, etc. - it is not free

  ESX3.5I is one of the hypervisor servers based that you run your virtual machines on - it's free, but you need to get your free license key.

  VMIC is the client software that you use to connect to vCenter or ESX/ESXi host to manage your virtual environment, including the ESXi host. -free and can be downloaded for the guests, once installed ESX.

  If someone can point to explanations on this, it will be a great help.

  Yes.

• Migrate from VMware Guest Server that contains the database of VIC in the new VMware host

  Hi, I inherited a system running ESX 3.0.1. The CIV is running on a stand-alone server, but the database resides on a guest on one of the VMware hosts. I need to move/migrate the vmware client to another server so I can use it. How can I migrate because if I try I'll lose the connection to the database?

  I can not just to right and migrate because servers have different CPUs. I can first.

  Sorry if this is a newbie question.

  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

  do not convert.  This will leave the original intact. Once it comes online and has been validated, you can destroy the old.   In addition, do if offline.

• using the converter no option for "Type of Destination." I am allowed only 'VMware Infrastructure virtual machine'

  Hi, I am looking to convert my localhost Ubuntu 9.10 for a machine virtual (vmdk) using vCenter Converter Standalone Client 4.0.1.

  I am at the step #2 (specify the Destination) and I expect to converter to allow me to choose a path to store the hard files.  However, 'Destination Type' does not have any selection - only 'VMWare Infrastructure virtual machine' is available.  (also there is input to the server, username, and password fields)

  What I am doing wrong?

  Thank you

  Hello

  using vmware converter 4.01 when virtual do physical power machines Linux the only available destination is ESX (i) server.

  One possible way to solve this handicap can be what makes an image of the Linux system using one of support for the products of the image and then use the vmware converter to set up the image of Linux box as a source and destination that it doesn't have to be a server ESX (i)

  If it comes to an eventual conversion, you can use a trial license with the product of the image (e.g. acronis true image or norton ghost).

  Best wishes / Saludos.

• VMware infrastructure documentation format

  Hi my implementation team recently made implementation of vmware infrastructure 3 and 4 for me. It is now time for the time of transfer and transition knowledge for my in-house team. so can someone please give me a format or a point on which we can take as a transfer of our implementation team. KT base Administration already has been made.

  Hello

  Most, if not all of these types of documents are under NDA, so we can share them unfortunately.

  The content coverage of the entire infrastructure will include details about the construction, the material provision, sites Web HCL, how hosts are configured, which served to test, etc.. Its a kind things coconut soup. Maybe explain why a choice has been made.

• Possible to download only the VMware Infrastructure Client?

  I am a student, our University has a vmware server we can connect using what, in my view, is called the "VMware Infrastructure Client" of our school computer lab and I was told that you can also download the same client to connect from our own pc at home. (We use a VPN). I've been looking around this site, and no where do not see just a simple download for only Vmware Infrastructure Client, I think that's what I use to connect to the server, our school has running vmware. I tried a few free vmware download from this site, and they seem to be 600 MB + packages with many, many zipped files, not just a simple client that I'm looking for.

  Can someone tell me if there is a way to download a customer of VMware infrastrue, UPS said, and if that sounds right, then I could use to connect to a server on a network running vmware.

  Basically, I have the IP of our server of schools and a user name and password I use to connect to it, but I need to find and install the vmware client to connect to it.

  Hello and welcome to the forums.

  Use a web browser and open https://schools-vmware-server-ip and you should be able to download the client here.

  Good luck!
