Minimum number of VMware ESX for a HA cluster

• Mix of ESX 3.5 and VMware ESX in the same cluster

  Hello

  I'm currently involved in ESX 3.5 Migrating virtual machines to a new vSphere environment.  All ESX 3.5 hosts running on obsolete kit and will be decomm had at the end of the project.  All hosts are managed by the same server vCenter.

  The only problem is, I have to add an additional ESX4 server, but there is not enough available physical switch ports.  I have decomm one ESX3.5 servers in order to free ports, but they run at 2 knots, and I will lose redundancy if a hardware problem arises.

  My proposed Solution: -.

  I think decomming ESX3.5 host 1 and move it to the new vSphere cluster.  The type of brand/model/CPU is different between the old and the new servers and I am not concerned by VMs DRS'ing between 2 environments, however, I understand that I have would be protected by HA if anything disastrous happened.  All hosts are connected to the same storage.

  You don't see any problem with that?

  You can have a mixed cluster, but this must be managed by vCenter 4.x.

  And you also need a license for the former hosts of 3.x server.

  HA will work.

  If the CPU is compatible VCA, then as VMotion, DRS, VCA will work.

• VMWare ESX 3.5 - Build number

  Hello

  As I discovered, the build number for ESX 3.5 Update 5 is "207095".

  Currently, the "213532" version, but I've never installed update 5. Update 4 was installed and would invest it has been updated with Update Manager. So my question is...

  VMWare View 4.0 should VMWare ESX 3.5 Update 3 or 4, so in principle, we have 'only' 4 update is installed, but the version number is higher and is in line with the update 5 or greater. So, what's my real condition now? Thanks for help.

• Configuration of VMware ESX 5.1/5.5 pass through for PowerEdge 2970

  Hello

  I tried to configure VMware ESX 5.1/5.5 pass through for a 8 GB Qlogic FC HBA on PowerEdge 2970 server.

  Even after activation of the virtual technology in the BIOS, the PCI device is not listed in "Advanced settings" to configure pass-through. Attached screenshot shows the current setting of the processor.

  Y at - it all the additional steps required to configure it.

  Concerning

  E.

  Hello Sara

  You're talking Direct path IO or single root i/o virtualization? If so, none of these features are supported on the 2970 system.

  I don't think that or the other of these characteristics were available until our 11 generation systems.

• VMWare ESX Server training

  Hello experts,
  I'm new to vitrualization.
  I installed vmware workastation v 7.0 and I also have VMWare ESX Server training Trainsignal dvd for training so here are my questions:

  Can I install VMware vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 on my VMWare Workstation 7.0 for training v?

  Is - this VMWare vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 product different from VMWare ESX Server 3.5?

  I'm you ask all these questions because I want to be sure I can complete a training with VMWare vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 suite drive of my Trainsignal VMWare ESX Server 3 and because I am not allowed to download the evaluation version on VMWare ESX Server 3 and because the VMWare customer service could not answer my simple question and quoted me to the community by them to get advice.

  Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

  Hi nasolsi,

  Can I install VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5 straight on my VMWare Workstation 7 training without affecting my HDD physical whole?

  Yes, it has nothing to do with your actual score and highlights form the part of space, he took from your partition to create the disk of the virtual machine. So basically it will eat the space in the physical partition but does nothing else like the formatting of the entire disk.
  

  
  

  and the performance on my PC?

  No, this will not affect your PC's performance as the workstation will run the pages of RAM and cycles on your physical PC hardware microprocessor.

  
  

  If permitted increase RAM by a value so that you do not encounter CMTF or any other problem. 2048MB is the minimum memory required to run ESXi.

• installation of the agent on the vmware ESX Server

  Hi, im trying to install the agent 2.7.6 on an esx server of vmware 3.01, somehow, the agent does not connect to the administration server, I opened the ports on the firewall of esx with esxcfg-firewall - openport port 7443 and 2144 but I still can not the agent to connect to the management server... everything I forget?

  Hi Nicky,

  We will clear up the confusion of port for the next version.  Regarding
  availability be yellow, I believe that it is through the combination
  the VMware API in 3.0 is much slower than ESX 2 times 20
  VMS exposes this recently fixed issue: http://jira.hyperic.com/browse/
  HHQ-437

  You can find a patch fixed the issue that should solve your
  lights of availability.  Let us know if that helps.  It is also possible
  to reduce the memory usage by disabling the plugins that vmware
  Buy adding to agent.properties:

  plugins.include = VMware

  You can also change the max heap size in agent.properties:
  agent.javaOpts =-Xmx128m

• Question number building VMWare tools

  Hi all

  This article:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1003947

  said that the version of VMWare tools number should be the same build number of the ESX host.

  This is not what I see here. Here's what we have:

  ESXi, 4.1.0 260247 (as reported by vSphere Client)

  VMWare tools Version 8.3.2 build 257589 (as reported by VMWare dialogue tools 'about')

  It is its own version of the tools for the host?

  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the tools on my guests several times, and they always communicate the same build number.

  Is it possible for a host to install a version of 'out of sync' tools? If so, how can I "Resync" it?

  Thanks for the pointers.

  Luke

  I would be grateful if you could tell me whether or not this file should be present on the guest operating system.

  Take a look at activation record for VMware Tools within an operating system called Windows debugging in this article that the location of the "tools.conf" queue is specified for different OS comments.

  I checked my VMs, I saw that there is a file with a name like on some VMS (but it is empty), while there is no file on others.

• several doubts with vmware esx 3.5

  guys, I had many doubts on VMware ESX. can you please answer me if you know the answers to any of the sub questions

  In the meantime thanks for all those who respond to my questions.

  (1) how to install ESX on the SAN to start on the SAN?

  (2) how to back up the database to the virtual Center Server? is it something that supports a SQL DBA or do we do as a VMware administrator?

  (3) for the installation of VCenter server, its request for the installation of the apache tomcat server. Why is this? It is with ESX 3.5

  (4) do we need a separate license for VCenter server apart from the licenses that we buy for the ESX servers?

  (5) if 2 virtual machine port groups are on two different VLANS, to send it, we need to configure a vyatta router. How can we do that if we are not a guy from Cisco?

  (6) we give only the IP numbers for a console Service and Vmkernals but not the virtual machine port groups. If so, how these virtual machines on these virtual machine port groups know what are their IP numbers? If we want a static IP number for a virtual machine, we inside windows from a virtual computer configuration?

  (7) is the Virtual Machine power off a soft stop?

  (8) what happens when we make one pause a Virtual Machine? I think that there is no option in a machine physical windows original. so, what does this mean VM break?

  (9) how many vsphere client can simultaneously access the vcenter Server?

  (3) for the installation of VCenter server, its request for the installation of the apache tomcat server. Why is this? It is with ESX 3.5

  Don't know why VM Ware chose Tomcat, they SAY THEY is not secure... No matter what.  It's just another Web server and its an option that VM Ware has chosen to work with vCenter.  It's not good or bad, just different... many people THINK apache is better, it is a matter of opinion.

  (6) we give only the IP numbers for a console Service and Vmkernals but not the virtual machine port groups. If so, how these virtual machines on these virtual machine port groups know what are their IP numbers? If we want a static IP number for a virtual machine, we inside windows from a virtual computer configuration?

  It is a way, you will realize quickly that will be a major pain.  I do like DHCP, reserve of the INVESTIGATION period.  Unless you know a way to connect to hundreds of virtual machines and change their IP remotely, this is probably the simplest method.  Unless you like make manual updates... then knock you out.

  (7) is the Virtual Machine power off a soft stop?

  Not as the name suggests it is a POWER-off.  Comments stop is a soft stop.

  (8) what happens when we make one pause a Virtual Machine? I think that there is no option in a machine physical windows original. so, what does this mean VM break?

  Confusion in the name.  It simply means 'suspend' and there is an option on physical machines... probably no servers, in the form of profiles of power are generally disabled, but it IS possible.

  (9) how many vsphere client can simultaneously access the vcenter Server?

  no theoretical limit... or I do not think that someone took the time to discover.  You will grow up to the moment where you have too many users connected to vCenter vCenter anyway... So the connections will not be reached.

• VMware ESX server CPU use test alarm

  Hi all

  For a new client, I need to show the alarm and ticket slot functionlity vmware ESX server logging settings

  • Use of the CPU of a server ESX VMW
  • Use of memory for the server ESX VMW

  While I reduced the threshold value of VMW ESX Server CPU use as beloow format

  WARNING - 5% and STDev.warning - 0

  I made this two days before configuration, but still no alarm generated for this rule.

  Help the creation of a test of the abveo metric ESX alarm

  Hi - I ended up having to do such things in the past as well. I just built a virtual machine added lots of processors and memory, then for the CPU, I used the script CPUBusy.vbs from VMware (Google search which) and down it load times so that he began to max real physical processors... For memory, I just opened a massive text file in Wordpad and scroll up and down it. This gave me the circumstances to test the alarms, just don't do as a busy time or use some dev ESX servers...
