Mount ISO in VMware ESX
Hi all
As I'm newly recruited and I learn that I will as well.
This is our vmware network.
Physical server: 3 x server HP (ESX 1, 2, 3) and they are clustering
There are about 18 people that are shared to the above cluster resources.
There are 3 stores.
I was wondering how to load ISOs on the physical storage so that we don't have to use CD/DVD-ROM.
If you could tell me the steps or how-to links. It would be great
Thank you
You can do this easily using the data store Navigator. Just use the browser of data store to create a folder (for example ISO-Repository) on one of your data warehouses and download the ISO images.

Hi, already searched on this topic but did not find a clear answer.
After installing an ESX how to download ISOs to install virtual machines?
Thanks in advance.
You can WinSCP or browser data store.
Client CD or ISO customer (change the properties for the CD).

Mount an ISO Image on ESX - VM (own, similar to VI Client) with mks
Hello
I'm working on an application (c# .NET) that connects to a vmware esx server and the virtual machine console sending.
I use the MKS - Lib (http://communities.vmware.com/message/1116657#1116657) to.
Now I have to mount a customer-iso file to make it available inside the virtual machine, but it does not work.
The method that I use is AttachRemoteCDROM and I became a true result and also the OnDeviceConnectionStateChange is triggered with the value true.
But inside the VM is just empty, nothing mounted cd player.
Here is the code I use to connect:
string hostname = ESX_Data.IPAddress;
int authPort = ESX_Data.Port; 902
String vmCfgPath = VM_Data.VMPath;
String username = ESX_Data.Username;
String password = ESX_Data.Password;
string deviceNode = "3000"; / / discovered by managed object Explorer (https://esxip/mob), is the cdrom device id
bool imageISO = true;
String localDevicePath = @ "H:\images\bootimage.iso";
Console.WriteLine ("is connected before:" + this.axQuickMksAxCtl1.IsRemoteDeviceConnected (localDevicePath).) (ToString());
bool ret = this.axQuickMksAxCtl1.AttachRemoteCDROM (hostname, authPort, vmCfgPath, username, password, deviceNode, rawDevice, exclusiveDevice, imageISO, localDevicePath); Console.WriteLine ("trying to connect:" + ret); Console.WriteLine ("is connected after:" + this.axQuickMksAxCtl1.IsRemoteDeviceConnected (localDevicePath).) (ToString());
I hope someone can help me with this.
Greetings,
Florian
K the thought of a couple of other things.
(1) when you instantiate the control of Mks code how is it? Looks of mine like that... QuickMksAxLib.IQuickMksAxCtl _mks = new QuickMksAxLib.QuickMksAxCtlClass ();
I've never really got into COM, but from past experience, the Interface is access.
(2) don't configure you your virtual machine with adequate support information? I use VirtualCdromRemotePassthroughBackingInfo, deviceName = string empty and exclusive = false.
I just wrote a simple console in two lines application which was successful, that's what I did
Ref added to the QuickMks class in the COM tab in the references of VS
MKS instantiated as shown above
In the CROWD, I called the AcquireMks method
Used the params returned to fill the AttachRemoteCDROM method
Define my VM to use VI Client Device Client and Passthrough (non-exclusive)
Called Attach method
Leave the open form the session will end when MKS instantiation process ends
After the call, I had an ISO mounted with happiness. Now the steps above are codables, but to test that could help.

Simulation of material on VMWare ESX Server (is it possible?)
Hello I am a student and write my thesis of license.
The theme of my thesis is the 'comparison of VMWare ESX Server and Citrix XenServer'.
After I installed XenServer on the material, I was able to simulate the material and got the possibility of
OEM-Versions of Microsoft operating systems install VM on XenServer. With this feature can save our customers
money, because they can use the Versions OEM of MS products provided by our care.
Now my question! Is it possible to simulate the material on VMWare ESX Server and install the OEM Versions
or are there other ways how I can install the OEM Versions on VMWare ESX Server?
I've seen this kind of problem before as well and it's the media. Try to download eval software as an ISO and see if it works.
I know say you it worked with xenserver then why not with esx - I can't answer this question I can only tell you want that I found worked.

VMware ESX server update CD &; 3WARE CONTROLLER
VMware has a cd ISO labled the following: VMware ESX Server 3.5 Update 3 driver for 3ware 9650SE and 9690SA SAS HBA controllers GCCA CD. The URL is: http://www.vmware.com/support/vi3/doc/drivercd/esx350-3w-9xxx-2.24.08.021vm35-146309.html#InstallESX
QUESTION: Anyone know if this drive works with ESXi 3.5? The downloads of the installation, update 3 or 4, I tried to load do not work for me. If this does not work, can you me where the download is that he asks? If this is not the case, the ISO EXSi can be modified to work.
The disc is for ESX only but if necessary you can extract the driver and use with ESXi. I had check ESXi was last updated yesterday and there is no 3ware with her driver. See the instructions here to create an oem.tgz file - http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/customize_oem_tgz.php. There is also a link to the 3Ware Update1/2 site of 3Ware driver. I check which driver is more recent and use it.

CPUID. Missing ISO.gz in ESX 3.5 update 3 ISO image
To detect the exact model of the CPU (I know they are Xeon) I found in the VMware knowledge base the suggestion to use the images of CD cpuid.iso.
It should be present in the directory the ESX CD images, I looked into esx - 3.5.0_Update_3 - 123630.iso, but I found only a couple of text file (LICENSE.cpuid and README.cpuid). Is it still supported this tool or not? Perhaps, he was present in the previuos versions and removed from the update 3?
Thanks in advance,

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...

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.

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.

Hello guys,.
I've been running an old server that was installed in a test system on workstation DELL - Optiplex GX620 (32 bit).
During installation, I had to confirgure the file: /usr/lib/vmware/installer/Core/TargetFilter.py to change the following line:
"interface returned. GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_IDE' as follows:
"interface returned. GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_ISCSI' this is it worked and I used it for 3 years now. However, right now, I was hoping to be updated with the latest patches and updates and I do not know if I just ESX or ESXi, or what was my last update, and what it takes then.
I used this command to get the following result:
# vmware - v
VMware ESX Server 3i 3.5.0 build-207095
... I think that the 3i says I have an ESXi 3.5.0 but build 207095 the buid even as ESXi 3.5.0 patch 5?
If this is not the case, how should I do to update? What is the KB # I should download?
I can manage using vSphere Client 5.5 and I can't SSH using PuTTY.
Note: When I run... "# esxupdate - bundle = ESXe350-201302401-I - SG.zip updated ' of in the folder where his property in the data store, nothing happens... just a new line scrolls.
Also...

IPSec on VMWare ESX 5.1 communication problems
Hello
We have 2 computer systems. You running us VMWare ESX 5.1 and the other is running Ubuntu 14.04. We have problems for IPSec to work between the two systems. We cannot find any documentation or known issues with IPsec on VMWare ESX 5.1, so we're going to reach out to the community.
Here's what we did:
1. we configured Ubuntu and VMWare systems to use IPv6, we can ping each other using IPv6.
2. we configure IPSec on an Ubuntu operating system by following the instructions below:
https://help.Ubuntu.com/community/IPSecHowTo
3. we have followed the instructions below to configure IPsec on VMWare.
Here's the problem:
When 2 Ubuntu systems run IPsec, they are able to ping each other. However, when allow us IPSec communications between VMWare and Ubuntu, the ping is suspended.
Here is the result of the configuration of command esxcli on VMWare:
UBUNTU. IPv6.ADDRESS-> Ubuntu IPv6 address
VMWARE. IPv6.ADDRESS-> address IPv6 from VMWARE

GoToDPSP UBUNTU. IPv6.ADDRESS/64 0 VMWARE. IPv6.ADDRESS/64 0 in ipsec transport GoToDPSA
Here's what we found:
After debugging the problem (using tcpdump), we found that the VMWare system sends the ESP packets, but never sends a package AH (required for IPSec authentication). Even when the encryption protocol is null, the system of VMWare would always send ESP packets, but never once sent a package of AH.
Here is the resulting execution trace: Ubuntu - ping-> VMWare:
...
IP6 UBUNTU. IPv6.ADDRESS > VMWARE. IPv6.ADDRESS: AH(spi = 0 x 00000256, seq = 0 x 16): ICMP6, an echo request, seq 1, length 64

IP6 VMWARE. IPv6.ADDRESS > UBUNTU. IPv6.ADDRESS: ESP(spi = 0 x 00000300, seq = 0 x 3), length 160
Summary:
There seems to be a problem with IPSec in VMWare ESX 5.1 on IPv6.
We noticed that the downloads section of the site support provided patches for VMWare ESx 4.x and earlier, but lack of patches for VMWare ESx 5.x.
Are there known issues in this area or available patches to fix this problem? Your kind suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Sorry for the late reply, but here the analysis of what is happening and why you are experiencing a problem.
The Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) to IPsec protocol will encrypt a payload of the packet and can
Optionally authenticate the packages as well. You do not include orders allowing you to set the
Security Association (SA) and political security (PS), but the output in your post indicates that you
you want to encrypt the payloads both authenticate packets in mode of transport between the hosts.
I don't know why the Ubuntu IPsec HowTo examples using protocols AH and ESP to encrypt and
authenticate the packets. In our view, it is best done in a single step with ESP, ESXi only
offer the option of AH with IPsec. Of course, this requires configuring the ESXi server and your
The host with a configuration of IPsec compatible Ubuntu (or any other operating system).
To illustrate, suppose the ESXi server has the address 2001:db8:1 and the host of Ubuntu has the
address 2001:db8:2. We will use cbc-3des for encryption of the useful and hmac-sha2-256 load for integrity
authentication mode of transport - just like in your message.
On the ESXi host, the commands to do this might look like this (of course, you need to generate your)
own keys and not re-use those I did).

On your Ubuntu host, you need a compatible IPsec configuration. In general, on linux systems
use the command setkey BSD-door, this is done by changing the system-wide
