• How to move the ESXi server in a data center

  Hello

  I'm new to VMware so I hope someone can help me with this small request! Currently in our environment, we have two ESXi servers (both with several virtual machines) and we would like to add to vCenter.  vCenter is configured, acting as a license server & when attempting to add a host to the data center, we get the following message "there is not enough licenses installed to run the operation. Is it possible to add an ESXi server to vCenter?

  Thanks in advance,

  "In addition, manage a VMware ESXi with VMware vCenter Server host requires a VMware vCenter Server Agent for each host, available only with the purchase of a VMware Infrastructure license (Foundation, Standard, or Enterprise)."

• [Recovery] Move the Essbase server to another physical server

  Hi all

  
  I have 3 part of EMP 11.1.2.1 Solaris Server environment:

  Server1.company.com:

  • Foundation, APS, EAS services

  Server2.company.com:

  • Essbase, Essbase Studio Server.
  • Installation on a SAN using Userid hypadmin drive

  Server3.company.com:

  • *Nothing installed here *.
  • His case Server2 breaks down, the standby server.

  Note: I couldn't find documentation for my approach below... So please understand the risk involved before trying the same thing.
  Prior to disaster:

  • I copy the base directory of hypadmin to Server2 to Server3.

  During disaster recovery:

  • I update the host name Essbase server from Server2.company.com to Server3.company.com and similarly update the opmn.xml file.
  • Finally, mount the SAN on Server2, and start the services.

  Anyone has done the same... ? Have been facing problems? Is there a better way to do this?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I think that the usual way to proceed is to have a DR environment, rather than a single server (so for you, you would have 2dr servers). DR environment has entries from the hosts file to map the host names of Production at the addresses IP of DR.

  The RD you are connected to a separate instance of SQL and you install and configure products exactly as you would for Production (exactly the same names).

  Finally when you are finished you stop the DR environment and on newspapers SQL data bases of Production and DR.

  If your Production environment breaks down you stop SQL log shipping, then you can bring up DR and change (if necessary) DNS names to give access to your users.

  For the storage of Essbase you can save Production to DR cubes or mount SAN Production DR. The only problem with it is that if Production falls down and the SAN is lost, you cannot bring up DR entirely or the other.

  Let me know if you still have any questions.

• workstion 8 - cannot install 64-bit on the esxi Server vm

  I installed VMWARE WORKSTION 8.2 on my system after I installed Win7 64-bit.

  Then, I installed the server ESXI WORKSTION Version 5 469 512 on VMWARE WORKSTATION

  Now I'm running the server via VSPHERE CLIENT 5.

  Whenever I try to install a virtual system on the ESXI 64-bit version, it gives an error that the system is not supported and I can only use it for information.

  If I install the 64-bit version of virtual on my computer without problem systems, why I can not install on the ESXI SERVER ?

  Change the settings for the virtual machine for the VM ESXi.  On the processors tab, check the box next to 'Virtualiser VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/IVR.'  If your hardware supports this feature, you will be able to run embedded 64-bit clients.  For more information, see nested running VMs.

• How can I move or move the 'Show desktop' to another location in my taskbar?

  Original title: I am running Win 7 pro - 64 bit. How can I move or move the 'show desktop' to another location in my taskbar?

  I'm running Windows 7 pro 64 bit on a Lenovo Thinkpad T520. Any suggestions on how I can move or move the 'show desktop' icon in my taskbar. Please note that this already exists on the right side of my taskbar. I would like to add it or move it to the left side.  Thank you

  The only way next to what has been offered, is if you put the taskbar on the left side of your screen instead of the lower part.

• Move the physical disk to another server ESXi

  Hey guys,.

  I copied a virtual computer to another physical disk on my ESXi server.

  Is it possible to take the disk and move it physically

  Another ESXi machine and see the data existing on the second ESXi store

  Server?

  We were doing the initial test on a test machine. Now I want to move the virtual machine to a server better

  with a raid array. I know that I can use

  SCP, but I prefer not bogged down my network file copy 100 gig.

  When I physically move the disc I can see on the second

  machine. But I don't know how to add it in

  storage. When I use the wizard, I get a

  WARNING: it will wipe the data.

  Thank you

  Should be possible, but you may need to activate volume resignaturing on ESXi in so he could see the new drive.  Search the VMware KB for "will esx" and you should be able to find an article that explains how to...

• Create new vCenter and move the ESXi hosts

  Hello

  I created a new vCenter vCenter apparatus using ISO 6.

  The deployment went well and I have all the installation program. I would now like to move hosts our old vCenter to new ESXi.

  I was reading this article to start the moving process.

  When I try to disconnect the host I get the message below

  

  In the article in the link above it is written that it will not affect the State of the virtual machine running on the host.

  If I click on 'Yes' here, it will automatically put the host in maintenance mode?

  I prefer not to do it if I can avoid it because I don't want to have to evacuate all virtual machines running on the esxi host.

  Wouldn't it be better if I disabled it HA first? Then try to move hosts? Or I'm sure to sign-out and the subsequent removal?

  Thank you

  See you soon

  Hello

  You must put your server in maintenance as a first step mode, then unplug and remove the server. It will work.

  If it doesn't work, disable temporary HA and remove your host of the VC.

• Could not introduce additional new 1 TB in the VMFS datastore to the ESXi Server?

  Hi all

  Does anyone know what should I do to make my 1 TB of hard drive using my eSATA connector housing on the HP DL 360 G7 Server?

  I installed the card eSATA PCI Express successfully on the server as is apparent from the screenshot of console vSphere below:

  

  but for some unknown reason, I do not see the hard drive 1 TB after multiple Rescan, still in white or nothing to present to ESXi.

  Here's what can see the BIOS of HP Server:

  

  When I move the eSATA connection to my Toshiba laptop, it went well, I can transfer the data and format the drive in the enclosure eSATA.

  Unfortunately your controller (Host Controllers, SiI3124 SiI3114, SiI3132, SiI3531) is not supported.

  VMware KB: Obsolete and unsupported features in ESXi 5.5

• Nested inside the ESXi Server ESXi

  Nested run ESXi in ESXi server.

  I can't turn on the virtual machine for Vcenter, I get an error "this host does not support Intel VT - x. Here's my server BIOS settings.

  Is there a solution for this?

  
  

  See attached screenshot.

  
  

  My server is running an Intel Xeon processor E5540 Proliant DL380 G6 2 x Xeon Quad-Core 2.53 GHz

  
  

  Physical server Bios settings

  Your hardware supports nested ESXi.  Is that you checked the box next to "Hardware-assisted virtualization expose to the guest operating system" on the settings of the processor in the web client?

• Communicate the guests as well as the ESXi Server VCenter?

  Hello:

  We deploy a solution virtual machine using Vcenter and ESXi 4.1 the VCenter logically is in a different subnet from the ESX servers.

  Is it true that the VCenter server does not need to communicate with the IP addresses of the colleagues of the BONE... and that the vcenter needs access to the IP addresses of the ESXi servers? What (if any) features is lost if the Vcenter server talks to the ESXi ip addresses?

  Please advise and thank you,

  -Chris

  vCenter communicates only to host servers ESXi and vSphere client only connection. vCenter is unable to communicate with the virtual machine, such as the virtual machines are linked to different virtual switch that would have properties different network (vlan and etc.).

• How to reset the ESXi Server?

  Hello

  We have two servers ESXi in vCenter, a ESXi server running a VM to openfiler that shares the data store local as iSCSI target that is mounted by the two server ESXi, for some reason any ESXi and vCenter no longer meets, and after connect you in ESXi via ssh, command df stuck, I suspect that they lost connection to openfiler web interface works always (said status current user 0).

  I'll reset ESXi servers? I tried to restart command, also stuck.

  Thank you

  William

  You could try to restart with the option - f.   Or services.sh restart to see if it shakes things upward.  Something in particular by logging in var/log/messages?

• Best method to move the VCenter server on new server

  I need to move my VCenter server to a new machine.

  The computer name and the IP address will be different from the original.

  1 should I use the existing database or there will be too many references to the old server vCenter Server?

  2. should I start from scratch on a new server and import my 5 ESX servers?  (Story not so important for me)

  If I start, unplug the old and add it again or just to add again and it will automatically remove the old?

  Best methods out there?  A document any?

  Thanks for any help in advance

• Advice on the ESXi server conversion

  Hi all - I have a project, I work on the weekend and hoped comments before you start. I have a HP Xeon bicoeur recently purchased Windows Server 2003 running server is installed directly on the hardware (no virtualization yet). I want to convert the VMWare ESXi 4.0 running server and run the same operating system on this material. Here's the tricky part. I want to run ESXi on the same computer, Windows Server running on right now. I understand that VMWare converter exists for this, and it would be no problem I got a 2nd ESXi Server I could use as the destination for the new virtual machine running. But I have only 1 server. And the converter interface looks like it requires a host ESXi to connect to, when converting from one physical machine to a virtual machine. (please, correct me if I'm wrong)

  My plan to achieve this is:

  1. temporarily install ESXi on another computer

  2. use VMWare workstation to converter to convert the physical operating system to a virtual machine running on the ESXi host temp

  3. carefully test the new virtual machine!

  4. download files of the virtual machine to the host temp to converter with vSphere client workstation

  5. clean the hard disks on HP Server, install ESXi

  6. download VM files on HP Server with vSphere client

  7. I hope that new start VM brilliant without problem

  8 go back home and get some sleep!

  If anyone has any input on this point, known pitfalls to avoid, or how to go faster, please let me know!

  To make it a little easier (you save setting up ESXi twice) just to use VMware workstation and VMware converter (even just an eval version will do). Then...

  1. install VMware workstation and VMware converter on a decent existing computer (that has enough cpu/ram to support the windows server).

  2. use the windows VMware converter for P2V server in VMware workstation.

  3. test the virtual windows server 2003 works correctly

  4 install ESXi on HP Server and configure it.

  5 use the converter once more to shoot on the virtual machine in the front of the workstation in an ESXi virtual machine format hardware version 7.

• Copy ESXi 4.0 VM off the ESXi server and start using it

  Hello

  I want to know if it is possible to copy virtual machines stored in the ESXi 4.0 data store server that I can download just outside the server, let's say in a the position of work/external HDD and start using it immediately. Request, the reason why it is we have some scenarios that our demos are field office and so you are obliged to distribute virtual machines in a laptop or external hard drive. I have been using VMWare Converter 4.0 to convert the VM VMWare Server ESXi, but it takes time, is there another way to do much faster this process or any product VMWare Player or workstation that can run ESXi virtual machines without conversion.

  Looking forward to your feedback.

  VMware Converter is the best choice and really one of the fastest.

• Move the virtual server

  We have two ESX 3.0.1 servers boot from local disks.  These are servers blades that are also connected to a San.  Most of our servers virtual residence on Lun presented to the ESX Server.  I have two virtual servers that have been setup on the local disks of blades and I want to move them to the SAN.  What is the best way to achieve this?  We do not have Virtual Center or Vmotion.

  My apologies, it's still early here and I don't read original post correctly.  You do not have vCenter you cannot use the option migrate.

  For your situation, I think VMware vCenter Converter Standalone might be your best option.

  again, sorry for the confusion.
