• Best practices - addition RDM to the second node (W2K3) MCSC Machine virtual nodes on the physical host computers

  Addition of RDM to the second node (W2K3) MCSC Machine virtual nodes on the physical host computers

  Unable to find another thread on this

  When you add RAW disks to the second node in Virtual Machines across physical hosts in the Cluster / Cluster across boxes,.

  VMware said shared point of the storage drives in the same location as the first node sharing storage disc *.

  -Select use an existing virtual drive...

  -In the drive path, navigate to the location of the disk (quorum) specified for the first node

  -Select the same virtual device node you chose for the first virtual machine shared storage disks, IE SCSI (1:0)...

  In other words to add the RDM to mscs-node2, navigate to/vmfs/volumes/lun1/mscs-node1 / mscs - node1_2.vmdk (mscs-node1_2 - rdmp.vmdk)

  For years we have directly added the ROW the second node specifying RDM disk not existing does not, in general we do directly from the host, not the vCenter, it seems to work fine.

  For what is the safest way, the official method can cause all sorts of problems if you need to cancel the registration of the ROW on the first node (here's where I found no official documentation).

  Delete you or keep the file descriptor? We tried to keep him, but ended up with several mappings to la.vmdk/rdmp.vmdk, so now, this system has disk2_.vmdk / disk2_ - rdmp.vmdk and disk4_.vmdk / disk4_ - rdmp.vmdk pointing to the same RAW.

  What really bothers me is safety, these are very important boxes, I prefer to continue to have the VMDK and rdmp.vmdk in separate data warehouses, and do not have this dependence on the head node

  Your comments please, we are viewing the store only setup of MSCS clusters with lanes separated from RDM and are there risks associated with this?

  * Ref: "Setup for Microsoft Cluster Service - 4.1 and Failover Clustering".

  I realize there was an error in my logic

  When you work with the main node, if there is a requirement to unmap drives ROUGH (move to another cluster vmware, cloning the system etc.)

  Take note of the location of all the rdmp.vmdks

  Remove each rdm disk without deleting

  To add

  Add "Use an existing virtual disk to disk" (yes I know its bad, but once you create the host calling now think its virtual)

  Navigate to the mapping of existing raw device, appearing like a vmdk * and add using the former location of scsi

  Graphic interface hides the descriptor

  A virtual disk has a vmdk and a flat.vmdk

  A CRUDE disk has a vmdk and a rdmp.vmdk (the dish is replaced by vocation)

  A suggestion of one of my companions is to locate the al the ROW in a single data store small, visibility of virtual machines with raw disk went like this

• where and how much Vcenter must be installed? as a virtual machine or physical host? -config is 2xESXi40 - CX4 - 120 1xEMC2 - DAS mode

  "BEST PRACTICE RECOMMENDATION.

  I work with 1 ESXi40 in DAS mode very good and everything is fine.

  I have still a few servers production of Phisical aditional to be virtualized, but before that

  We cultivate our virtual infrastructure by adding a second Esxi40 and installing the Virtual Center software and license to use HA, Vmotion, etc..

  the questions and the thing is, if I'm migrating all my hosts physic to the VMs system, do I need a new physical server to install Virtual Center, yes or no.

  and why?

  If this is not the case, the Vcenter can be virtualized, and what is the best practice to do this.

  which of the following configuration might be valid, the best recommendation and why and why not.

  (a) create 1 Vcenter VM, located in a data store on the hard drive that comes a host of Esxi40

  (b) create 1 Vcenter VM, created storage located in a data store that comes from the CX4-120, and the group contains 1 ESXi40 physical host

  (c) create 1 Vcenter VM, created storage located in a data store that comes from the CX4-120, and the group contains 2 ESXi40 physical hosts

  (d) create 2 Vcenter VW, created storage located in a data store that comes from the CX4-120, and the group contains 1 ESXi40 physical host

  (c) create 2 Vcenter VM, located in a data store that comes from the CX4 - 120, ahd, the storage group created containds 2 ESXi40 physical hosts

  Thank you

  MC.

  You're too complicate things...

  Do the vCenter as a virtual machine, which gives the requirements for processors, RAM, etc... Place it on a data store available to BOTH hosts. In fact, I would make sure that ALL s LUN where sit all VM are available for BOTH ESXi servers.

  I recommend also using a full SQL Server for the db, is not using SQL Express. If you have a SQL 2005 server, use it. If you want to future proof, vCenter things, put on a 64 bit OS (so you're ready for vCenter 4.1 and ESXi 4.1). Having the SQL database on a real SQL Server (other than the server vCenter Server/VM) makes things a lot easier on the road...

• Auto - Start VM when physical host is restarted

  Hello

  Is there any way to restart VMs on physical host reboot?

  Kyle

  Yes.

  Inside the VMware web access console, select the host in the Invertory left, it displays the corresponding options in the controls on the right.

  Click on the option called "Edit Virtual Machine start/stop low Settings". In the window that opens, you will be able to select all virtual to autostart.

• Export profiles on URM and import the physical metadata

  Dear all,

  I want to ask is there any menu to export and import the physical metadata and profiles on the management of records (URM)?

  I already try the Migration Admin Config menu but seems that only contained metadata could export and import in this menu.

  Is there someone never export and import metadata and profile?

  Hi Charly,

  For metadata, access files - Import / Export - Archives - physical related objects.

  There, the option to include custom metadata PCM is what you are looking for.

• can I assign vCPU 32 if the physical host is to have 20 hearts that hyperthreading is disabled

  Dear team,

  I just want to confirm I can assign 32vCPUs to a virtual machine, if a physical host is to have total 20cores and hyperthreading is disabled.

  Please let me know assign vcpus VM is depend on the version of ESXi or VM HW version or is it dependent on ESXI licenses

  need your help on the same.

  concerning

  Mr. VMware

  Hey Linjo,.

  Indeed, it's picky

  I just test it. The drop of webclients vCPU 5.5 only shows the number of logical cores available on the selected host.

• ESXi 5.5u1 - serial number physical host in virtual machine

  I was happy to see in 5.5 update 1 release notes that it should be possible to switch the serial number of the host through a virtual machine hardware.

  • Allow virtual machines to display the serial number of the physical host
    Virtual machines cannot reflect the physical hosts ESXi serial numbers.
    • This issue is fixed in this version.

  Does anyone know how to enable this for a new or existing virtual computer?

  I had problems in the past with Apple Push Notification Services expects a Mac serial number. I hope that I can now spend series a Mac Pro to the host through a virtual machine.

  Someone at - it experience or knowledge to implement this? Thank you!

  Hi DJLambertand welcome to the VMware communities!

  If you want a prompt of OS X to use the serial number of the host, you will need to add this option to the virtual machine configuration:

  serialNumber.reflectHost = 'TRUE '.

  or, if you want a prompt of OS X to use the model of host hardware ID (learn "MacPro5, 1"), ID (i.e. "Mac-12345678" ") and the serial number all all aboard:

  smbios.reflectHost = 'TRUE '.

  will take care of all three.  Note that there is no way to understand or control what happens if you have multiple virtual machines with the same serial number and using this external serial number as an identifier.

  Let us know if you have problems with these options!  I'm not sure whether they will solve the problem you face, but... For example, there are more problems iMessage running in a virtual machine...

  See you soon,.

• Minimum rights necessary to connect to the Server SDK?

  I'm developing some SDK queries for a customer. However, they do not use root connection and want to create a special connection just for the SDK. What are the minimum rights required on the server ESX or vSphere (4.0 or later version) to connect via the SDK?  Thank you.

  Yes, read-only role should suffice for that. If you watch the vSphere API reference documentation, you will see also at the bottom of each property/method on permissions, there is another way to understand the minimum permissions.

• VSphere server, should run on a physical host.

  Hi all

  Just try vsphere outside and I was wondering what I need to run vsphere on a physical host server or can I throw on one of the esxi servers.

  If so, are there drawbacks or benefits of doing it this way.

  Thank you

  Joel

  > If I'm running vsphere on one of its own esxi host machines, build, I have problems with the help of DRS, HA or VMOTION

  Well his delicate good.  Running it in a virtual machine is not a problem if the virtual machine is vmotion is located be vSphere VM you will probably lose connection to vsphere which will then stop the vmotion, and it's a never-ending cycle.  If you need to set advanced settings in DRS to ignore the virtual machine where you run vSphere to avoid this problem.

  > If I run it on a physical host, and it breaks down. What will happen with the virtual machine, it will still work on the host

  The virtual machine will continue to function, but the DRS / HA will not.  vSphere must be actively running to manage these processes.

• How to remove Cluster hosts in vCenter

  We have a VMware vCenter 5.5 license that is about to expire, and while we re-new the vCenter license, I have to take all the VMS that are associated with a group called:

  Orlando (site) > staging (cluster) > 10.1.1.13 (home) > testbox1 (vm)

  I need to remove the (host) (cluster) above. I can do this by typing "Mode of Maintenance", which then moves the (vm) to another host in the staging (cluster). Problem is when I go out "Maintenance Mode", (pole) is placed in staging and the virtual computer is moved to the staging (cluster) > 10.1.1.13 (host). This is NOT what I want. I want to delete all hosts in staging (clutser) independently in vCenter before my vCenter license expires.

  Can anyone please explain or help me do this?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Carlos,

  Hope that you use the web client.

  Basically, the question is, you must remove a host in a cluster have DRS and HA.  To remove a HOST

  Put the HOST in maintenance mode - > check all VM's was able to move to another HOST, then right-click and disconnect, finally right click and delete.

  If you need to keep the virtual machine to the same physical host and you have properly configured a standard switch.

  Click with the right button on the cluster and DRS recommendation opt for manual. maintenance mode, then right click and then disconnect, finally just right-click and delete.

  hope this helps you.

• moving my SQL Server to another host (with vcenter database)

  Hi all

  I am in progress to improve my environment at ESX4.0. Now I have to move my only SQL server VM to the new host, who is already on ESX4.0 level. My only SQL server hosts the vCenter as database. I don't have a vMotion.

  To move my SQL vm, I need to turn it off and then migrate my ESX 4.0 host. The problem: when the SQL Server is disabled, I lose connectivity to the vCenter server and therefore cannot migrate the virtual computer to another host.

  Is there a way to fix this, or is my only option to move the virtual machine in question off vCenter SQL database?

  The physical files of the VM for SQL server on an iSCSI box and will not change the location of the data store.

  Thank you

  Edy

  Open the browser of data store, right-click right the VM's vmx file and choose "add to the inventory.
