Newbie! 5.5 ESXi host unreachable.

I just install Esxi on my Intel i7 Quad Core with 1 TB of HARD drive and 16 G of RAM. The installation was smooth but I have problems connecting to the host.

Just after startup, I am able to ping network mgmt host for about a minute and it will not respond then. I checked the interface / network mgmt grew it just stop respond to ARPs.

vobd:

"Requested after 1 failure event (esx.clear.net.vmnic.linkstate.up)."

"Requested after 1 failure event (esx.audit.net.firewall.config.changed)."

"Sent successfully (esx.audit.net.firewall.port.hooked) event after 1 failure.

I tried to unload the firewall by using esxcli commands also changed firewall by default-action at the NECK. No luck.

Whenever I restart the host remains for a few minutes and then is inaccessible from my vmclient (or the PC directly connected to the host).

I'm pretty new to this solution and tried my luck by searching in the database but did not get a definitive answer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

MM.

Just to update, it seems to have corrected itself after a few reboots.

So to summarize, I had drivers RealTek RLT8167 when I had Windows installed on the machine, however when I tried to install ESXi 5.5 he complained "No. Found network adapter".

The reason for this is because ESXi 5.5 included not all drivers RealTek as Vmware he had forbidden in their software. So, I download RLT8168 drivers (also can be found in the link posted above by cykVM) and used ESXi Customizer tool to rebuild the ISO, including the downloaded driver. It worked for me, however the ESXi host would not meet its IP address in a short time after the restart.

That's when I connected this post looking for help, but the next day when I started the host he was working regularly and was even until now. So no real change not required except two or three restarts! I was about to buy a supported network card, but it proved to be lucky for me!

Kind regards

MM.

  • Quick newb question: possible to 'navigate' the file on an ESXi host computer system remotely?

    As the subject says: is it possible to 'Browse' the file system to an ESXi host through a GUI tool on the server vCenter Server, instead of having to navigate this one via e.g. puTTY?

    OK... think about it. WinSCP and enabling SSH on the host computer ESxi is the key.

  • Ping IP of ESXi host fails after reboot? Newbie

    What must we do to recover the server to an operational state? If there is other information needed to help us please let me know.

    And, what distro and version is ESXi 4.0.0 inspires?  I read that it is Redhat, but I couldn't find the version.

    I have worked with Soloris, Linux and Aix over the years, so I am comfortable working from the cmd line if need be.

    Thank you

    ESXi is not Linux. The VMkernel is VMware. The small console that runs the VMkernel is busybox. ESX has a VM management based on RedHat 5, but here again the VMkernel is all VMware.

    I would check that the embedded NICs are working properly. Start with a linux rescue disk and test.

    If all extracted would reset the system configuration from the yellow Console screen. Your configuration will be lost, but your machines virtual etc. will be OK. You will need to add to the inventory.

  • Mac OS x won't start on mac pro esxi host

    We have the latest mac pro machine functioning as a construction of host 5.5.0 esxi 2718055.  We have setup the virtual Mac machine of the as a waiter in a magic triangle to our Mac OSX windows domain configuration.  Everything was up and running for some time now not really used because we delayed the purchase of our projected deployment Mac until this year.  I logged on today, and he says he has several updates and necessary to restart, so we issued the command reboot. Now the machine won't start upward.  It starts the boot process you see the Apple logo and progress bar starts moving on a 1/4 of the way and then it just turned off. I tried several of the commands below in the link, but nothing works, it just turns off. I tried to use my mac with vm ware fusion and the connection to the host and always change. I have triple checked that I am in the comments window active when you press these commands, but the problem is it only stays on during approximately 5 seconds then stops. I have removed from the inventory of esxi and re added, as well as restarted the ESXi host as well.  The virtual machine is sitting on the local storage of the esxi server.

    https://support.Apple.com/en-AU/HT201255

    Has anyone else had a problem similar to this?  I'm getting to this section and the progress bar starts to go, but then stops and turns off virtual machine.  How can I enter in address this further.

    Okay, so I went through the list and now I got using the command option r. tried before but maybe I press the keys long enough.  I was using my mac book pro and pro fusion to do all this. Couldn't make it work when you use the client heavy vsphere on my windows machine. Repair disk permissions is grayed out. I ran check disk permissions and got a ton of errors, ran check disk and he stopped saying repair the disk. Ran repair disk and he stopped to say that he cannot repair the disk, backup as many files as possible, reformat the drive and restore your backup files.

    Is there another way to try to fix this sucker, or is he at this point a POS and build a new one?

  • 8.3 OMSA @ ESXi 6.0 U2 @ R515-> cannot log into the website OMSA to ESXi HOST.--

    Hello guys.

    I've updated my ESXi of U3 5.0 to 6.0 U2 and I lost my OMSA. I can not connect from the web page.

    For the update of the host, I used this ISO file:
    . VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.0.0.update02-3620759.x86_64-Dell_Customized-A00.iso

    After that, I installed OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-WINX64-8.3.0-1908_A00. EXE to a VM W2012S to this host. I can open the web site to connect, but when I try to connect to my ESXi HOST, I received this message: failed to connect... connection error.

    When I saw that I began to check a few things, I ran: 'list of vib software esxcli' and I saw:

  • Recently added that in environment VMware ESXi hosts do not appear

    I'm running worm vFoglight 6.7. recently, I added 2 new 5.1 ESXi host and 2 data stores into my vsphere cluster. These new fabrics do not appear in vfoglight under dash VMware environment. I tried to update the server vCenter added by re activating the latter. Without success. Could someone help me how to get it to update.

    Give a washer, they can probably find what is happening and turn it on.  It is very rare that I've ever seen an upgrade fails or not be able to recover the worst of him.

  • Connect 2 ESXi hosts to array SAS MD3220

    I have two R620s who go to the server as a host for the VM for several web servers (in a Windows NETWORK load balancing) and two other R620s which will be considered as physical database servers (in a Failover Cluster) and have to apply to a single Bay MD3220 SAS. The DB cluster will host the databases shared on a virtual disk and a data store shared on another virtual drive on the Bay. ESXi hosts will store their vmx/vmdk files elsewhere on the Board.

    I'm still waiting for delivery of the second DB server, but in the meantime, I installed the first and he speaks with success to the table - I run MDSM on that server and the server is successfully connected to DB and filestore volumes. guess I'm having a little problem with the second server.

    I installed ESXi on both VM hosts. I guess the next step is to save in MDSM, but MDSM is not automatically host port identifiers as assigned. Does?

    My next guess would be to identify manually port host identifiers, but how can I determine what are their respective IDs? I couldn't see anything obvious in the BIOS.

    I have currently two independent hosts to VM with ESXi installed v5.1 - I have not created a VM vCenter again because the host does not have access to the storage Bay (!), so I can pair together for HA hosts, etc. As a broader question, given what I want to achieve, how should I be going to this topic?

    Indeed, you will need to register the VMware hosts in MDSM yourself. There is no agent to have a VMware host register automatically on the SAN (at the regular difference in Windows and linux).

    You may be able to find the WWN of the HBA SAS in the SAS controller bios.

    The only other way I know not to register the correct WWN with the server is intrusive, but not so hard:

    -Stop your Windows (cluster SQL) servers

    -Stop the VMware servers

    -power of the MD3220 downwards

    -power up the MD3220

    -power up to one of the servers Windows (one that has MDSM on it)

    -power up the VMware Server 1

    In MDSM, you can now save this first VMware Server.

    Turn on the other 2 servers and register the 2nd VMware Server.

    I found that only shutting down 1 VMware server is not erase the memory of the MD whose WWNS are connected and there is no way to find which ports you enter the WWN in question.

  • How to remove ESXi host of Distributed Switch

    3 Cluster DRS - 1 x physical, 2 nested nodes in a LAB environment

    I need to downgrade a 6.0 U2 ESXi host and replace it (from ESXi nested in Physics). I am trying to remove the host from a distributed switch, but it seems that I can't do that until I remove it from the Distributed Switch. I can't remove the VMkernel group management ports that prevents me to remove the host from the Distributed Switch. Any suggestions? I guess that I need that migrate to a Standard switch first?

    I am connected to the ESXi host through vSphere Client, migrated the group management to a Standard switch ports, then I was able to clear the host of the distributed switch. I could then remove the host from the Cluster.

  • 6u2 ESXi host nested on VMware Workstation for Linux referee v12

    Hello all, I have

    I have a lab environment virtual running in VMware Workstation for Linux v12, and my ESXi hosts do not work correctly on one of the virtual networks. All my troubleshooting suggests a problem with nested ESXi hosts that may be a bug, but I want to assure you that I did everything properly first. That's why I post here with the hope that if I made a mistake that maybe someone else can point out he me.

    Physical system

    8 core Intel Xeon 2.1 GHz CPU

    128 GB of RAM

    OS - kernel Linux 64 - bit w/3.19.0-32-generic Linux Mint 17.3 (fully updated from this announcement)

    VMware Workstation 12 Pro - 12.1.1. Build-3770994 (fully updated from this announcement)

    Nested ESXi host VM

    ESXi v6.0.0 (Build 3825889, completely updated from this announcement)

    4 cards 'physical' (only 3 used for now)

    -all use the e1000 NIC hardware virtual, but also tried vmxnet3 NIC with no difference

    -vSwitch0 use vmnic0 & 1 vmnet16 of virtual network in a pair of active / standby

    -vSwitch1 uses vmnic2 on network virtual vmnet18

    -vmk0 used for management on vSwitch0 and vmk1 for iSCSI on vSwitch1

    -"Promiscuous" mode and forged passes enabled on all Port vSwitch groups (activating or turning off these features makes no difference)

    Test performed until now

    I checked that all the IP addresses and network masks used are correct.

    With the help of vmkping I ping other nodes on the network vmnet16 with success.

    With the help of vmkping I tried to ping the other nodes in the network vmnet18, but that has failed.

    I have depolyed other non - ESXi VMs on the vmnet18 network, and they are able to ping each other, but are unable to ping or ping by the ESXI host.

    I tried various material virtual NIC as mentioned before, but without changes in the results.

    I tried to use only local network instead of the vmnet18 guest network segments with no change in results.

    When I find out the status of the network adapters on the ESXi host through vCenter or host incorporated client vmnic0 & 1 time display network information, but vmnic2 shows no networks. Yet, I know that there is a network with different VM communicate on it. Moreover, I was able to get all of this work on a Windows system running 10 Workstation (this is the laptop that my employer gives me with).

    Having built nested ESXi labs on different platforms as well as physical environments in the past, I'm very confused as to why I can't get this special configuration to work. At this point my gut tells me that this is probably a bug any with the nested themselves ESXi hosts. Since I can get all this work on vmnet16 including the management of ESXi hosts and the VCSA that I use, I am sure that my vSwitch configuration is correct (other than the IP address space and vmnic configurations is bascially the same). Because I can get other virtual machines to communicate over the network vmnet18 I don't see how can be a VMware Workstation for the issue physical Linux host. Is there something obvious I'm missing here? I read on the ESXi hosts nested under VMware Workstation after having known problems and bugs with networking. If anyone else has experienced this?

    Thanks for any help others can provide!

    Kind regards

    Patrick

    Well, the problem is now resolved. The problem was what covelli was trying to explain, but I couldn't because the physical host network adapters being mentioned.

    The problem on the Linux host, but it was a problem of permissions with the virtual Ethernet adapters. The following article has the fix:
    With the help of Ethernet virtual cards in Promiscuous Mode on a Linux host (287) | VMware KB

    Even if I launched the workstation under the root user I have yet met this problem and which still makes no sense to me, but change the permissions solve the problem. I was not getting an error message on my Linux Mint and Ubuntu system, but when I tried on a second box of Linux Mint that I just got the error has been generated, and the error message was the above link it contains.

    So, here's what I learned:

    (1) the question has nothing to with a VMware Workstation definition that you can configure.

    (2) the question has nothing to do with a physical network card.
    (3) the question has nothing to do with any vmnic on the nested ESXi host.

    (4) apparently virtual Ethernet adapters are not the correct permissions when created.

    All you have to do to fix this is:

    (1) open a terminal.

    (2) run the command ' sudo chmod a + rw/dev/vmnet * "(don't forget to run this each time that you create a new virtual network).

    You can also create a group, as shown in the link above and simply give this group the correct permissions. Personally, I think it's easier to just give everyone the rw permission.

    I appreciate the help that others have offered. I did not understand what was asked for in previous answers because of the terms that have been used.

  • One of the ESXi host 3 no HW Compatible for ESXi 6 upgrade?

    Hello

    There are 3 DELL servers (2 of them are running R530 and 1 is executed R900).

    When attempting to upgrade these 5.5 ESXi hosts to ESXi 6, we find that the R900 is no longer supported.

    Wonder what is the best way for us to do - keep using ESXi 5.5 or level 2 of them to ESXi 6 and leave remaining on an ESXi 5.5?   We have no intention to replace the R900 in the near future.

    Thank you

    If all three hosts are part of the ESXi Cluster, then you must do all the guests at the same version level. Therefore, keep all the on ESXi 5.5

    But if you use these host as a standalone ESXi host then you can upgrade the host to ESXi 6 two and let R900 on ESXi 5.5

    Thank you

  • Share of CPU between ESXi hosts in a cluster?

    Is it possible to configure a cluster with a pool of CPU resources such as all CPUS of all ESXi hosts in the cluster are in the pool and if a virtual machine starts using more CPU that's current host has it can draw another ESXi host CPU to deal with?

    A virtual machine can use CPU only from the host where the virtual machine works... There is no way to allocate CPU of multiple hosts to a single virtual machine.

  • Mobile 5.1 ESXi host in vCenter unpublished 6 - license?

    Hi all -

    If I take an ESXi host 5.1, previously managed (under license) via a given vCenter (also v5.1) and its key in the inventory management, then I disconnect/remove this host from the vCenter 5.1 and connect it to a completely new vCenter, what happens to the host of license?

    It disappear and become a 60-day eval, or his license key moves WITH the host in the new vCenter?  (The new vCenter in this scenario would have absolutely zero license keys from host ESXi that apply to guests of ESXi 5.1 existing installs below)

    I was wondering what 'happens' in this scenario I have the document our so-called steps for migration.  Yes, I know that this could / should all be tested "in the lab" but don't get started me on that.  Thanks for any comments on what I can expect.

    My best guess is that the host will LOSE its license now, it becomes a 'standalone' ESXi host when disconnected and removed from the old vCenter (via the "Delete" command).  I want to just make sure that it is also fully functional, if she has run VMs on it at the time or not (although Yes, I'll put it in maintenance mode before removing the old VirtualCenter and join a new).

    And Yes, of course I have old games of the existing environment 5.1 ESXi license keys.  I'm just trying to set expectations as to what is happening in licenses-wise once I move the host from the old to the new vCenter.  I have all pretty well understood technical pieces, including AVS and DVS network considerations.  Thank you.

  • How to restart annex 5.1 ESXi host?

    Hello

    Any method of restart ESXi host 5.1 on the calendar? Thank you.

    Kind regards

    YMIM

    You can schedule the reboot of the ESXi host using PowerCLI.

    Install the PowerShell and PowerCLI module on any Windows System.

    PowerCLI start programs

    or, you can run the commands below on PowerCLI prompt to test.

    Then save it the script to run as the specific annex filename.ps1 and Windows Task Scheduler.

    SE connect-VIServer vlab-esxi2 - root username - password "password".

    $vms = get - vm | where {$_.} PowerState - eq "Receptor"}

    foreach ($vm in $vms) {Shutdown-VMGuest - VM $vm - confirm: $false}

    sleep 60

    Restart-VMHost-Force - confirm: $false

    6 ESXi hosts can't be added to Vcenter 5.5 App

    When I add the hosts drop off after 5 min or more.

    When you install or upgrade to ESXi hosts to 6.0 you cannot add them to vCenter Server Windows or device.

    It's real reason in the upgrade path, you must first upgrade the vCenter before ESXi hosts. See the sequence below:
