• Nested 5.5 ESXi in Workstation 10 Networking question

  Hi all

  I have an instance of VMware workstation 10 running on an HP z600 with guest OS in RHEL 6u3 where I am trying to accommodate a nested instance of ESXi 5.5 for a lab environment.  I have no problem with the guest OS (Windows or Linux) network using deck vmnic on workstation instance.  I have set the ESXi Server also uses a vmnic bridge.  I can connect to the end ESX Server from any workstation on my network with vSphere, but I can't connect to all nested ESX Server virtual machine hosting.  I tried Linux and Windows virtual machines with the same result.  Virtual machines do not seem to be a problem to get my (interesting) DHCP Server IPv4 configuration.  From the virtual machine, I cannot ping the default router.  Ping indicates the destination is unreachable.  I ping the IP of management on the ESX Server from any workstation on my network, but not VM.  Network mgt ESX and vmnetwork are on the same vmnic.  Very simple configuration.  Any thoughts on where to start?

  You have the vmnet devices configured to allow the "Promiscuous" mode?  See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/287.

• How to configure the network adapter when you run ESXi on VmWare workstation?

  How to configure the network card installing ESXi on VmWare workstation 6.0.0?

  These are the options: I tried bridged, host-only NAP.  None of them works

  

  What Miss me? driver or adapater?

  I'm running on vmware workstation on Windows 7 with Lenovo laptop.

  in the configuration of your virtual machine, the main issue is memory. you gave the 2 GB of RAM, whereas ESXi 6 cannot go forward without minimum 4 GB of RAM.

  If please have 4 GB of RAM and re-run Setup. you will get through.

  message about the network card should also not appear after that. What kind of network you choose depends on your need.

• nested ESXi vHost, networking, the nested virtual machines cannot access outside the world.

  
  My Datacenter configured as follows:

  1. physical switch connected to 3 physical server.

  vCenter Server IP: 192.168.10.10

  two physical hosts ESXi: IP: 192.168.10.11/12.

• Nested ESXi 5.5 lab for the SRM demo with iSCSI

  Hi all

  I was wondering if it is possible to install ESXi in ESXi 5.5 5.5 make recovery of the Server Tier - 1 Microsoft with Site Recovery manager?

  So level 1 server applications are: Exchange Server, SQL Server, SharePoint Server and AD DC servers with 5 x test Win 7 desktop.

  The external data store to the VMFS will take place by iSCSI NAS connected to the physical server.

  Any suggestion and input would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  One thing you'll want to do is to make sure that use you VSphere switches distributed on your cluster nested to ESXi hosts so that you can use the network i/o control (NIOC). For me, I put iSCSI to high priority traffic and everything to normal priority.

  With the help of the NIOC will allow your cluster nested in order to operate more fluidly than without it.

  My SRM 5.x laboratory is fully nested - probably not supported in a production environment where supported VMware should however.

  Here's a blog post of Ather Beg on its results by using the nested NIOC and ESXi hosts - it is the reduction of the spikes that Ather blog article shows that made work nested ESXi hosts networks so much better:

• Unable to start x 64 VMs on nested ESXi host

  Hi gurus,

  I would ask your expertise on the question with my ESXi nested 5.1 checking. I managed to install the nested ESXi host, but I can't start a x 64 VMs. I continue to ask me what follows:

  
  Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHz
  DH77EB
  EBH7710H.86A.0100.2013.0312.1351
  Virtualization / VT - x is already enabled in the BIOS.
  Turn off the Bit is also activated.
  verified the host physical and NestedHVSupported set to TRUE
  added vhv.enable = "true" on the physics of the host \etc\vmware\config
  created nested ESXi VM
  original operating system is any other 64 bit
  Once the virtual machine is created, I changed the OS to VMware ESXi 5.x (experimental)
  NX/XD flag is already set to expose
  added - H - mask CPU; ECX
  Adds the following on the nested ESXi vmx file:
  Monitor.virtual_mmu = "hardware".
  Monitor.virtual_exec = "hardware".
  VHV. Enable = "true".
  monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = 'true '.
  Thanks in advance!

  According to the journal of the ESXi VM file, its configuration (.vmx) file does not contain the vhv.enable = "true" entry. Only the configuration file contains, that was how it should be done in ESXi 5.0, but not in ESXi 5.1.

  Try to add the entry to the ESXi VM and make sure you reload the configuration (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1026043) before turn VM ESXi.

• ESXi on VMWare Workstation with widows 2008 comments

  Hello

  I am about to begin a new deployment and I tested some things before that I have shell out money for new equipment and software.

  I tested Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit on VMWare Workstation and everything is good.  My VMWare Workstation is on Win 7 64 bit

  Ultimately, this equipment will run on ESX, vSphere Essentials through.   To test this, I installed ESXi 4 Update 1 inside VMWare Workstation.

  Because the vSphere client is not supported on Windows 7, I installed the Client vSphere on Win XP 32 bit inside another guest of VMWare Workstation.

  During the installation of Windows 2008 R2 64-bit on ESXi, via vSphere on XP, I get the following error

  Trying to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU in is not compatible with the 64-bit mode.

  Well, I know that my cpu is 64-bit capable, because I'm already under 64-bit so much already.

  It worries me a bit, because I wasn't expecting this obstacle - my test was to validate a number of other things, not this and now I think I might switch to Hyper-V.

  I already searched the forums, and from what I found, nothing has solved the problem yet

  However, there could be a saving grace - could the fact that I'm under esxi in vmware workstation cause this problem?

  Paul

  You're out of luck.

  You cannot run 64-bit inside a virtual ESX clients.

  Nested VMs have no VT support, you need to run a 64-bit client

• Nested ESXi 5.5 crashes with a misconfiguration EPT

  Hello

  I have an ESXi 5.5 installed on a physical machine (CPU: Intel i7 - 4770 s, 32 GB of RAM), where I have 2 nested ESXi servers. Each of them (physical + nested) execute the last ESXi 5.5 1881737 and time at time, the accidents of the ESXi nested with [msg.log.error.unrecoverable] fatal error VMware ESX: (vcpu-0) 2014-06 - 21 T 20: 03:51.580Z | vCPU-0 | I120 + vcpu-bad configuration 3:EPT:

  The nested 2 ESXi virtualization CPU/MMU was set to automatic, then on the last option (use Intel VT - x and Intel EPT for MMU virtualization). Same situation... Version 9 hardware

  I have not tried the other 2 options again, may one of them be the answer to get rid of this?

  I know it is not taken in charge, but maybe someone has an idea on how to solve this problem... Found this KB VMware: virtual machines stop abruptly with a similar error to: MONITOR PANIC: vcpu - bad 0:EPT configuration... , but this is not applicable .

  I am also attaching the vmware.log, zdump and vmmcores...

  Thank you for your time.

  Please try to add the following configuration option to/etc/vmware/config on the physical host:

  monitor_control.disable_gphys_abit = TRUE

• Nested ESXi 5.5 laboratory

  I was pulling my hair out with this now. Trying to nest ESXi 5.5 within ESXi 5.1 on a HP DL380 G5, but I get the error: hardware virtualization is not enabled in the BIOS, when I try to install 5.5

  I already did:

  -Edited the file/etc/vmware/config for vhv.allow = 'true '.

  -Updated the VM to support v9

  -Changed the OS to ESXi 5.x (experimental)

  -Tried to edit the virtual machine's .vmx file, putting in vmkernel5 instead of 64 others in the field of guestOS

  None of this worked, always get the message about hardware virtualization is not enabled in the BIOS of the virtual machine. Anyone nestled ESXi 5.5 yet? If Yes, how did you you do and are there are instructions there. I tried following some blogs out there on the Internet, but nothing has worked.

  In addition, the BIOS of the physical machine is up to this day and ESXi 5.0 (nested or otherwise) ran flawlessly on the G5.

  Help is appreciated. TIA!

  If it were possible to use virtualized virtualization assisted by material on systems without EPT (Intel) or IVR (AMD) under ESX 5.0, this configuration was not taken in charge. EPT or IVR is now required for virtualization to support virtualized under ESXi 5.1 (and other VMware products that virtualized hardware-assisted virtualization support).

  Unfortunately, your CPU does not support the EFA.

• 5.1 nested ESXi

  Hello world

  I am configuring a nested ESXi 5.1 training lab on my production 5.1 esxi environment.

  The problem I have is that, once the installation disc starts, it does not detect the vmdk file in local storage.

  I created the guest computer using the web client so that it is hardware version 9, added the vhv.allow = true for the comments and also permit EPT Intel VT - x on the client.

  I thought that maybe it's because my local data store where I was hosting for the nested esx vmdk file was VMFS version 3 so I've updated that and it did not solve.

  Am I missing a step somewhere? Any help would be appreciated.

  Karl

  Maybe that's the problem with the controller. try and change the bus to the VMDK controller?

• VCenter Server Appliance fails without VT in nested ESXi 5.1 support

  I am trying to run vCenter Server Appliance in a nested ESXi 5.1 64-bit environment.

  At the start of the vCenter Server Appliance, it fails with:

  This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit operating systems. However, the 64-bit mode is not possible.

  This host does not support VT for more information, see http://VMware.com/info?id=152 .

  I'm talking about vSphere 5.0 here people. Thank you so much everyone. What can I do or what I missed? I need to migrate my VMs nested under my ESXi nested successfully.

  Thanks again nested VM experts!

  ESXi does not support on your processor hardware-assisted virtualization.  If your processor is AMD - V, there was a design flaw with the first generation of AMD - V parts that we have chosen to not to bypass.  You will not be able to run virtual machines nested on this material.

  ESXi 5.0 supports AMD - V only on later processors and family 10H.

• Networking question in VMware Workstation / nested ESXi network configuration problem

  Hi guys,.

  I am trying to set up a virtual lab, I setup a domain, a vcenter server and up to 1 ESXi host controller.

  I am really struggling with the network aspect in establishing a vmnic for storing shared, please see the attached screenshots and a few questions:

  1. Is a vmnic a real network map? or vmnic correspond to "network adapters" that you put in place since the setting of your virtual machine?

  I followed a tutorial and implement 3 NICs on the ESXi host, in Bridge mode, I tried this in my configuration of vmworkstation and I lose the connection to my server vcenter to the ESXi host.

  See screenshot attached to how I configured my ESXi host, screenshot is called 'screenshot2esxihost network', I run got each of the maps defined on NAT network.

  

  See also the screenshot of how I have my configuration of network settings in my VMWare Workstation, screenshot is called "screenshot1. the tutorial does not show how it has its editor of the virtual network configuration, but it puts its ESXi host NICs in BRIDGED mode, and I'm guessing that you can set this time within the virtual network adapter. If someone could tell me what changes should I make in there and on the network cards in my ESXi host, which would be really useful.

  

  My domain controller, server ESXi hosts and vcenter are currently on the 192.168.86 range, which currently stood at NAT

  See also a screenshot from the vsphere client - I don't see a vmnic "vmnic0", my goal is to be able to add a "vmnic2" for a separate storage network.

  

  any help would be received with gratitude, I VCP510 review at the end of the month and really hope to be able to get my lab setup as soon as possible.

  The vmnic is the rising 'physical' of an ESXi host. So with the 3 network cards that you configured for the host in VMware Workstation you will see under "Network adapters" and you can use them to vSwitches in the section "network".
