• How to access the ESX service console

  Hi all.

  I'm a TV engineer trying to solve a problem of network with our equipment. I'm not a network engineer.

  I'm trying to follow the VMWareKB: "Troubleshooting connection problems network using the Protocol ARP (Address Resolution)" I'm just trying to check the ARP table exists on our ESX Server and has some entries.

  KB said running 'arp - a' for a list of the ARP table.

  To do this, I need to open a service console. I have now read articles 3 or 4 on the use of the Service Console but I am still unable to open it to run the command. I do not understand what I am doing wrong, I am incredibly stupid or miss me something completely.

  An article said, press 'Alt F1"exactly where I am doing this? A virtual machine is connected to the ESX? An article said "to VIM summary screen' I tried logging on the virtual machine and point a web browser on the server, I get a screen of welcome of ESX with link"Connecting to Web Access", when I click on it I get"Internet Explorer Can t Open The Web page.

  I had a look at VIM, I can see the details of the Vswitch network on the configuration page, including the IP address of the console service. Can't see how to open a service console. VIM of pointing at the address for service console is unable to do anything.

  I just need to know how to open the Service console and check the tables of ARP based on the KB.

  Please dumb down of your responses to me!

  The fundamental problem is about some units of electric distribution that we use to power the equipment in the racks. They have a network connection which we track using Virtual Machines to the report of a third person of monitoring and control software. The virtual machines are running alarm software driver used to report to the third party. The virtual machine is on a blade server.

  We have a problem where a unit of the IML has been replaced but configured with incorrect default gateway address. In the hours to do so, the monitoring and control software lost connection to ILM and one by one, all units of the IML began to send the ARP requests - "who has 10.172.248.254'.

  Finally, the MDU constantly send ARP requests and the MDU have lost connectivity to the virtual computer. If we open the VM machine, follow up and a MUD, the ping command ping fails, if we put a laptop in place an ILM and ping the machine VM, the ping works fine.

  If power us off/on the ILM voltage they are good, but we are a 24/7 operation and power cycling the MDU is considered risky.

  We have had this problem before and the only solution was to rebuild the virtual machine and assign all MDU to a new network address.

  All switches ILM is connected (foundry Falstron GS) have been verified by the support of our network guys and we are told are all good. The blade server hosts about 20 VM and they work just fine from other systems SNMP traffic monitoring.

  If anyone has any ideas I'm all ears.

  Hello

  As stated, the console is the administration interface that you can use directly on the hardware. It is not a VM (as such) that connect you with the standard management GUI. You can SSH in the network or you can be "physically connected" as you say (I would use HP SIM or the ILO to connect directly to the blade). Once you have that screen upward, press 'Alt + F1' and you connect. Then you should be able to follow the KB to check the ARP table.

  See you soon,.

• Newbie question: access property programmatically

• Command not found in the service console ESX 4.0 u2

  Hi all

  I have a very simple question.

  I have haven´t access to the service console ESX 4.0 for some time and today I need run commands to verify information on some host bus adapters.

  I logged a user then used 'su root' to switch to the ROOT user.

  I use Putty to connect to the Service Console.

  But when I try to execute the following commands it said "Command Not Found":

  vmkload_mod

  esxcfg-module

  I read VMware KBs, that say to use these commands for this version of ESX, but I can´t do run.

  I think the answer is something very simple, but I can´t find it.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Thank you

  Mark

• Adding user to access the Service Console via Putty

  Hi guys

  I'm quite new to the world of Vmware, so please exuse me if I look trivial.

  Basically, I want to create a user in order to access the service through PuTTY console.

  I tried with the root , but it says access denied. I have read the forums and I know that I need to create a new user, and then get to KNOW, but could you please tell me how and where I can create this user as I can only find Permissions tab for ESX1 (our esx server). What I need to for this to the service console physially enter the sever room or can I create this user using one of my domain accounts for VIC 2.5

  If I can do or could you please guide me further

  Also is it possible to use the service of the VIC, if so how.

  I would be very grateful if you could give me an answer for what I send the vizionsupport logs from the console using some of the linux (vmware controls), I think that I can do that by logging in on the ESX Server service console.

  Concerning

  Rucky

  To add a newuser you would do the following in the console of the ESX host.

  useradd username (where username is the name of the user account)

  passwd username (This will prompt you for the password for the user)

  Now this user must be able to connect via SSH

  You can then run su - (you will be prompted for the root password) that will put you in a root shell

  Also, you could edit/etc/ssh/sshd_config (using vi or nano)

  and change the following line

  Of

  PermitRootLogin not

  TO

  PermitRootLogin Yes

  type of service sshd restart (you should do this in the console) this will then allow you to ssh to the system as root.

• Newbie question: to access the items in a locked file "kind of."

  Newbie question: a friend (who is not accessible now) has sent a file I. Vector graphics are enclosed in a blue box. I can move the whole box within the artboard and you can add other items, but I can't change the existing components. Unlock, dissociate are gray. How can I get 'in' components?

  Look in the layer panel and see if the layers are locked. You can also check in tracks mode and see if there is really something out there, or if it has been saved as an image.

• Service console and VM kernel port group Question

  I have the separate subnet of installation for the service console and the port the kernel VM group. Currently, I plan to install the software iSCSI adapter to connect the LUN. Is there something else I need to do to configure?

  It is said that if the console VM kernel and service are in separate groups of port.

  Usually I use a different physical network for iSCSI.

  But if you only have two network adapters is not applicable.

  Don't forget the vmkernel interface used for iSCSI is in the same logical network and same VLAN as your iSCSI target.

  I need to create a service console more, I do not have it?

  With ESX 3.x, you need a SC for iSCSI (or routing rules).

  With ESX 4.x is not necessary.

• Service console question

  Hi I am trying to run the command of lspci-v on the service console. Is there any equivalent of a scroll lock or a way to navigate through the text that has scrolled by?

  For use ESX:

  lspci | more GOLD lspci | less

  For use of ESXi:

  lspci | less

  They are more or less the same

• How to restrict access to the service web application deployed on weblogic for user group only

  I built the web service application in jdevelopler 11.1.1.7. Their security policy applied in the web service of the default Oracle policy which is (policy: Wssp1.2 - 2007-Https-UsernameToken - Plain.xml)

  Now all want to access the web service application must provide the name of user and password in the header section of the SOAP request to meet the requirement of the policy.

  the following steps I'm trying to restrict access to the application of web service with a specific group of users among users of weblogic:

  Connect to the weblogic administration console

  Create user or group of users

  Click on the links of deployments

  Select your web service

  Click the Security tab

  Click the sub-tab political

  Choose your authorization provider in the menu drop-down (looks like by default)

  Choose Add Conditions-> Group-> Type in the name of the Group

  Finishing

  But access is always available for all weblogic users (IE users not in the group specified in the above security configuration). How can I restrict access to only authorized group? Any thing lacking in my approach?

  There is nothing wrong with the steps mentioned in the question. In addition, you must do the following

• Export data to a drive that is mapped to the Regional service console server

  Hi all
  I have a question regarding the export of data from the Regional service console:

  can export us the data to the drive mapped in the Regional service console?

  Is it possible and how can it happen?

  We sent our local drives to the server and tried to export data from the console of Regional service to that mapped drive. The process has failed. Could you provide information why it go failed with the mapped drive.

  Waiting for your update.
  
  Thanks in advance

  Make sure that the user must have write access to the shared files (mapped drive)...

• In the Service Console the path value preferred on vSphere?

  Hello

  We have a problem here.

  Environmental: political vSphere Host, 8 HBAs, path: fixed path of vmware, on 1,000 paths to storage

  To reduce the total number of paths we want to reconfigure our warehouses of data and reduce the number of used HBA for warehouses of test and reference using only 2 of the 8 host bus adapters. We use all the time, then put 6 of them on all our servers of vsphere for people with reduced mobility, only two remain active.

  That is why we have active and people with disabilities with the help of a script on paths of console service - it works very well.

  But after that we reduce active host bus adapters, vsphere seems to forget reset the preferred path (just checked in the GUI). We put vmhba1 and vmhba7 to be active, 0-8 (except no. 6 as is the lsi controller) should be disabled, but on most of these disabled HBA Lun remains the favorite.

  On esx 3.5 service console, we were used to:

  / usr/sbin/esxcfg-mpath - favorite - political fixed = - lun = $lun - path = $: ${lun # *------:}}

  but these options (favorite, political) seem to be outdated since vsphere, which apparently obtained these commands on the api storage?

  Can someone answer the following questions on this issue:

  1 did affect the feature if you prefer the path is one of the disabled?

  2 will be the vsphere host keeps this configuration after reboot (disabled HBA to a lun, active paths)?

  3. is there a new command to set the access path AND / OR politics (MRU, FIXED, RR) to a logical unit number?

  Thanks in advance,

  Kind regards

  Alex

  Hello

  for active/passive, please use MRU;

  as you know, when fixed in use and the LUNS mapped to multiple hosts, 1 host perhaps selects path fixed-to-controller 0 and 2nd host perhaps selects fixed path to controller 1, then the current path will change between two controllers, way stolen here;

• Service Console isolation Clarification

  I have read the Security Hardening Guide but I have some questions about the isolation of isolation of service console.

  1. What are the security risks? I found that newspapers are sent clear test that represents a risk, but in a fully routed network once newspapers leave the service console network they may be captured or read on the syslog network, unless an ipsec tunnel is created between the two systems. Another risk I've read is that if the console service is on the same vswitch as an internet workstation or network type VM service console could be exposed to the internet. Other risks?

  2. If the service console is isolated on its own vswitch/network, but the network outside the vm environment has other systems not necessarily vm systems is always considered a risk or the physical environment also must be isolated to only management traffic? In order to clarify if the service console is located on a network 192.168.1.0/24 and this network have physical systems connected to this same 192.168.1.0/24 network is the console service at risk? Again, what are the risks and that no matter the fully active physical network and uses the isolation of port? If a company has a fully routed network isolation really provides increased security? To be compliant with the Safety Guide is the key to keep isolated from the internet access management network/traffic?

  For some reason, I'm having trouble getting this concept and the security risks. Thanks in advance for the help in the understanding of console service isolation.

  Also remember that if your service console came down, you could lose the ability to manage all the virtual machines that reside on this ESX host.

• Help! Network newbie question

  Hi Experts,

  I just started using VMware and I had a simple kind of question. I inherited 4 Dell R900 x servers. Each server has fiber 2 x 10G, 2xHBA cards, NIC integrated 4 x 1 G and an additional 4 x 1 G NIC. I built all the 4 ESX servers and sort the storage that is be an EMC DMX. The only problem I have now is that I am wise networking? Clearly, it would seem logical to Crete the VLAN of server on 10g cards, but what to do with the other?

  Help, please! Thanks in advance.

  James

  Misread the post above...

  Since you have a sound network cards, you might want to consider this:

  vSwitch0 (Service Console)-> onboard 1 G NIC1 and 1 G NIC1 PCI as a failover pair. The best practice is to have the Service Console on a segment controlled far from virtual machines and networks vmkernel

  vSwitch1 (VMS)-> the two cards of 10 G in a connection to very. Use VLAN tagging to provide access to multiple networks

  vSwitch2 (vmkernel/vMotion - if used)-> onboard 1 G NIC2 and PCI 1 G NIC2 as a failover pair. This should be on one VLAN isolated to enhance security while ensuring that all the bandwidth is dedicated to vMotion

  In addition, make sure that all network adapters are on the VMware HCL.

• VCB newb question

  Anyobody there good links or articles on VCB with syamntec backup exec?

  My proxy server needs to have enough local disk space to "mount" the VM before the tape backup?

  Must the proxy VCB be connect via CF to my CF SAN where are my virtual machines?

  I found this: http://www.soft-tronik.cz/web/drivery.nsf/0/36371aad30172c03c125739800371e90/ $FILE/Integrating%20Symantec%20Backup%20Exec%2011d.pdf

  Is that essentially all what I need to do to use VCB with symantec 11(d) BE?

  I've never done this before as much lamen term help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hi one3cap to answer your questions individually:

  (1) your needs VCB proxy of enough space to hold the virtual machines only if you make the image-level backups. The file level backups do not have any need for disk space on the proxy.

  (2) Yes, the proxy must be connected to your San and have access to the VMFS LUNS, if you want to make backups off LAN. You can use VCB to move up by the Service Console, which would not need to SAN connectivity, but would not "LAN-free", which is a major selling point of VCB.

  (3) article you reference in detail most of all upward. Integrating VCB with BackupExec is purely based on a script and is not so rich. There is a new add-on that Symantec sells to 12.5 to BE much larger, but it's also a bit more expensive.

  Please, help me by awarding points for a 'useful' or 'proper' response if you think it is useful!
