• What is the best practice for the double management interfaces?

  Hello community!

  I'm upgrading to a few host ESX to ESXi 4.1U1 4.0 in the coming weeks. My question is about how to configure the management networks. Obviously in ESX 4.0 Classic I have a Service Console port (on vSwitch0) group and a group of ports VMkernel (also on vSwitch0) which provides my host with SC and vmotion capabilities, as we all know. Note: my vSwitch0 has two vmnic attached to it, is pending and is active. That's just how we have our double installation of switches, so it must be active / standby.

  I got to thinking (book the great from HA and DRS deepdive Duncap Epping and Frank Denneman), that I should consider carefully when my network mangement I improve these hosts to ESXi 4.1 - which of course done away with the Service Console and use the vmkernel instead.

  The question is, in which best practices and account with my setup: I have two vmkernel ports? If so, how should I configure each for traffic management and vmotion vmkernel?

  I think it will be a good discussion to have.

  Thank you all,

  Matt

  The NIC vSwitch0 value active/active, the vswif (and future vmkernel management) team of NIC Active vmnic6 and vmnic1 ensures and leaves the vMotion vmkernel NIC team as is.

  This will allow you to use two physical network interface cards at the same time while having a failover plan and keep your physically separate management and vMotion traffic.

  In the end:

  vSwitch: vmnic1 vmnic6 active, active.

  VMK (Mgt): active eve of vmnic1 vmnic6.

  VMK (vMotion): active standby, vmnic6 vmnic1.

• Restore the saved CLI config since a 4.1 on a 4.1u1 host

  Is this supported? Looking at safeguards identical to the host that looks like it might be possible.

  Thank you

  Should work just fine.

• Update VUM 5.1 to 5.5 with a base with host and the host upgrades patches

  We are currently running vCenter 5.5.0c with 5.1u1 on all hosts.  We have lines of base (2) attached to these hosts.  One of these baselines is dynamic with all the latest patches to be applied and the other baseline is the upgrade to 5.5.0a.  We have not restored over several months and I have a question.  If I leave two reference levels, AUVS will know to run the upgrade first and then patch the latest version?  I want to just make sure THAT VUM does not apply time to 5.1 before moving to 5.5 patches.  If there is not a good answer on that, the plan is to detach the dynamic baselines with all the patches and it reinstall manually after the upgrade to 5.5.  Management doesn't like going to the latest versions and the plan is to actually update it 5.5.0a, because it is later (update1) HP.  We go to patch after that, while the server is in maintenance mode, but I didn't at the margin of the baselines set if it can run 5.1 patches before moving to 5.5.  I excluded the cumulative 5.5 update1 for our dynamic patch database.

  Thank you

  When you click on clean up host you choose the database Type, then do not worry, just select upgrade basic :-)

  

• The traffic between a host ESXi and vCenter Server is secure?

  Dear team,

  You pray let me know is traffic between a host ESXi and vCenter server (vice versa) is secure?

  The VC and ESXi version is 5.1U1a

  concerning

  Mr. VMware

  Default SSL certificates are installed automatically. However, you can configure the third-party SSL certificates to make the environment more secure.

• Moving hosts to new vCenter and retaining current licences for guests

  I need to upgrade an environment vSphere 4.1 to 5.1u1. I plan to install a clean vCenter 5.1 and need to migrate hosts without interruption to the virtual machines. The way to remove the old vCenter may not be because it requires the host mode maintenance and VMs to be evacuated. What plan do is disconnect from the host and have the new vCenter appropriated. I will then possibly incoming days guests through VUM to 5.1u1.

  My question is when the new vCenter appropriates the hosts what will happen to the licensing of 4.1 esx/esxi hosts? Will be the current 4.1 esx/esxi licenses follow the hosts or will I have to add the esx/esxi through the client license? The new vCenter will be installed in trial mode until licenses can be provided for me.

  A second question is when the esxi hosts are upgrading to 5.1 and I did not upgrade licenses will guests enter a grace period until a license can be applied? I don't know how long the hosts were in trial mode, before 4.1 licenses applied so I assume every 60 days were used.

  With adding hosts to the new vCenter Server, the license key from the host server will be added to the repository of the vCenter Server license; Even if this is not the case you could simply add the current license key to the new vCenter Server manually. Just make sure that you do not use more CPU that purchased licenses.

  Once you upgrade the host, make sure you have the new license keys already available. As much as I know there is no evaluation period additional to the hosts upgraded who were running older versions of 60 days. The grace period of 14 days you mentioned applied to versions in ESX 3.x used FlexLM licenses (i.e. license files).

• Best practices for storing the Logs of the system for all newly improved ESXi hosts?

  Hi people,

  What are the options and best practices for the Logs of the system for all newly improved 5.1u1 ESXi hosts?

  Do I need to have the Syslog server or it can be safely ignored?

  Thank you

  Evening,

  Syslog is preferred, but VMware has provided a collector of syslog on the vcenter installation disc can be installed on any windows host or your vcenter. I can't count the number of times where I had guests CMTF or newspapers lost... Fortunately for the syslog which collects up to the accident.  It is not necessary, but it's really a good idea without any real cost since you can use your vcenter host.

  Here is an article on how to install it:

• 5.1U1 with vCenter 5.1?

  I know it is always recommended to update vCenter before guests, but is there really no problem update 5.1 to 5.1U1 guests when the vcenter remains 5.1? The only thing I can think of does not receive the new vCenter HA modules?

  Hello

  You can search the interoperability of products VMware here: VMware product interoperability Matrices

  It is said only vCenter 5.1.0a can handle 5.1 U1 ESXi hosts. The release cant initial vCenter 5.1.

• HA reconfigure after 5.1 to 5.1U1

  Poking around with some test systems after ranging from 5.1 to 5.1U1, I noticed that vib HA not updated until I have done one reconfigures a vcenter 5.1U1 HA. This needs to be done, or is the new version of vib simply cosmetic. Just do not know after a cluster is completely moved 5.1 to 5.1U1, you will have to reconfigure all hosts for HA to get pushed HA patches of vcenter.

  Yes, there are a few fixes introduced in vCenter 5.1 U1 thanks to which you may need to reconfigure HA for the new package to be applied when HA is already activated.

• Windows Server 2012 slow on ESXi 5.1U1

  Dear jury,

  recently, I installed four Windows Server 2012-VMs on my ESXi. It's a HP DL380G7 (Controller-P410i HP Xeon E5645, 144 GB of RAM, with 8 HP - SAS 500 GB in RAID6).

  All four virtual machines have a very poor performance, SMB video speed, slow slow.

  I have a server 2008R2-Windows on the same host, which are very good. If I copy a file (for example an ISO) of my client to the server, I have about 80 MB/s. If I do the same in one of my 2012 server, I get about 20 MB/s or less. Sometimes the process cancels (destination network not found)... Still the same thing if I copy between virtual machines. When the copy of CPU consumption amounts to 70%, sometimes at 100%, the server is not usable this time.

  What I've done and tested:

  * 2012 Server installed by the standard ISO (MS Action Pack-download)

  * fact update ESXi 5.1 to 5.1U1 and updated on all virtual machines VMWare tools

  * change to VMXNET3 E1000E network card

  * disabled SMB signing

  * changed SVGA drivers for MS-display Standard driver (3D acceleration is grayed out in the VM options!)

  * Settings IP of all virtual machines are ok (DHCP)

  All the 2008R2 works well, all 2012 are very slow...

  What can I check or what I got wrong?

  TIA and greetings from the Germany

  Matthias.

  It's weird,

  As I did the day 1 for my ESXi5.1 update I upated the VMWare tools on all virtual machines as well. Every server 2008R2 did a restart and they are always very good. 2012 servers did not reboot after update the VMWare Tools. Today, I did a restart of all my servers from 2012 and voila, 3 out of 4 are very good. Running quite smooth with 80 to 100 Mbps SMB-Performance! GREAT!

  Just a virtual machine is too slow I started... But this one I will get in shape too, I think that...

  Display 3D even drivers are fine now.

  Best regards

  Matthias.

  Problema: dovro'usare rimuovere LUN che are known uno storage storage of di fare delle riorganizzazioni nel sistema FCP (che distruzione di LUN comportano e creazione di nuove).

  Premesso che non sono molto a mio agio con SAN, what mid age capitato di creare e LUN poi aggiungerle agli host my e prima volta che mi living inverso, mi sono by fortuna imbattuto in questo post

  http://blogs.VMware.com/vSphere/2011/11/best-practice-how-to-correctly-remove-a-LUN-from-an-ESX-host.html

  Dove viene spiegato come sia una cosa non trivial rimozione delle LUN con version 4.x (io ho the 4.1u1):

  Best practices to eliminate a unit number logic host ESX 4.1, as described in detail in the KB 1015084, are as follows:

  1. Unregister all objects in the database including models and virtual computers
     
  2. Ensure that no tools 3rd party accessing the data store
     
  3. Ensure that no aucune fonctionnalite feature of vSphere, such as storage i/o control, only use the device
     
  4. Hide the ESX host LUN by creating new rules in the PSA (Pluggable Storage Architecture)
     
  5. Anyone physically appropriate LUN of the ESX host using table tools
     
  6. Rescan the SAN
     
  7. Clean the rules created previously in order to hide the LUN
     
  8. Cancel paths remaining after the LUN has been removed
