Mobo fried esxi 3.5 on dev server. Customers recoverable?

Look, over 2 years ago, I set up the sweetest 3.5U4 and VMware ESXi host possible with the time accumulated a total of 3 host servers; 2 centos Linux and Windows 2003 1. I am a web developer and are (were) of Centos machines where a lot of my development took place. The machine was my old office, a retail Intel DG965WH with a Core 2 Duo e6300, and it is managed beautfully for over 2 years, handling all my development and everything that I launched on it.

This morning the machine was off and turns away. After a few tests, the motherboard is borked. In the machine are two drives of 500 GB, 2 data warehouses, where the 3 guests direct - or rather, lived.

Can I use the stand-alone converter or another program, who can salvage anything of these readers? There should be files machine comments on them still not? If I get the data out of these how he import in the stand-alone converter or another ESXi host? Even if I can't launch the virtual guests still - someone has advice on at least get (slightly) data? Either still around should VMX and VMDK files not?

Your thoughts and comments are appreciated.

If you have used these two independent disks as two data warehouses, you should be able to connect these disks to another computer. You need a driver for VMFS file system, there is one open to http://code.google.com/p/vmfs/.

Then you should be able to convert these images VMware Workstation or Player.

  • VMWare ESXi 4 as a file server?

    Hello

    Got a server on VMWare ESXi 4, currently with a virtual more to come Linux machine.

    My goal is to use the server as a server from file/place of storage within the network of the company but also to test the environment (this is what I need several virtual machines for).

    My question is: is it possible to use ESXi 4 as a file server separately from the installed virtual machines? Or do I have to use one of the virtual machines as a storage place? If Yes, is there some way I can connect to this storage place WITHOUT using VMWare vSphere (that I currently use to manage the server)? Say, add network drive from Windows on the desktop.

    Those who resembles a fundamental questions for me however I am quite newbie here so I'm not really sure what can be done

    See you soon

    Hello, welcome to the forum

    As far as I KNOW, no, you cannot use VMware ESXi itself as a storage/file server.

    You must use VM in it and this VM should get this service to another customer.

    So you want to use this host (ESXi) as your test environment (put some VM on it to test it), you should pay attention to your bandwidth and the e/s, may be the test VM needs a lot of bandwidth or i/o and if your host may not respond to all virtual machines must (file server and test virtual machines) you will see a low performance.

    If I'm missing something; Please correct me, thank you.

  • ESXi/ESX host disconnects vcenter Server 60 seconds after the connection

    Hello guys,.

    I recently made some changes to my VMware Lab.

    I'm under vCenter 5.1 with several hosts of ESXi 5.1.  My vCenter ran on one server ESXi 5.1 until I recently migrated there in a window of Windows 8 running VMware Workstation 9.   The vCenter is running normally and I am able to add hosts in stock, but they disconnect after approximately 60 to 90 seconds.  I believe that this issue is that the heart beats that are sent by the host do not reach the vCenter (port 902), I think that it is similar to the issue discussed in the following KB:http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1029919

    Here are my questions:

    1. the article describes download wireshark and run scripts.  Is there an easier away from do?  I'm literally just checking this single port of the ESXi host, there is no equivalent for telnet from an ESXi host?

    2 VMware Workstation 9 block ports or run its own firewall any?  Since this vCenter worked perfectly when running on the host ESXi 5.1 we know this isn't a firewall on the virtual computer problem, I have also checked the Windows 8 machine running VMware workstation and have verified that the windows firewall is disabled.  Windows firewall is not the issue. 

    Thank you

    Duncan.

    Just a quick question. A fact change of IP address of the server vCenter with migration of VMware Workstation? Maybe http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1008030 is related to the question!

  • To access ESXi 4 Update 1 custom server from dell MD3000i iSCSI SAN

    Hello

    I'm brand new on VMware ESX/ESXi products and for the most part, no.  I configured several machines virtual with server 1 and 2.  I am trying to connect a virtual ESXi 4 server in a SAN and starts to become very confused about what I can or not do.  I hope that someone here can break it down for me because I couldn't find the answer to my specific questions.

    Here's how I'm Setup:

    I have a Dell PowerEdge R710 with ESXi 4 Update 1 'Custom Dell' (whatever that means) is installed.

    I have a Dell MD3000i SAN using iSCSI with a pre-configured dedicated virtual disk.

    I would like to create virtual machines on virtual disk said.

    I think that ESXi 4 is completely free.

    It seems that to manage the server, I need to use 1 of the 2 products.  The Vsphere client or web application of VMware Go.

    If I use Vsphere:

    I have the ability to add a type of storage through the user interface.

    I'm on a 60-day trial. I thought that it was free.

    If I configure my iSCSI via Vsphere and then the eval expires... what happens?  All jump on me and then I have to purchase a license to get it back?

    If I use VMware go:

    It seems I don't really have any options to do any kind of configuration iSCSI in VMware Go.  I do?

    I also have a XenServer that is configured in this way and it's all free. I wanted to try the bare metal of VMware solution, but now I wonder if I'll have to go back to Xen.

    Can someone please relieve me of my confusion until I have to pull the plug on this experience.  Maybe direct me to the proper documentation on how to configure what I need with what I have at the cost free-is possible.

    Thanks a lot for your comments and have a wonderful weekend!

    I'd go by QuickStart Webcast and Webcast ESXi Webstart to help get a better understanding.
