• File transfers slow of ESXi to Virtual Center (physical)

  VCenter is attached with 1 Gb ethernet

  ESXi systems are 10 GB ethernet

  iSCSI is about 10 GB ethernet

  When I 'Browse the data store' and go to download a large file (.tar), since the iSCSI that transfer data store is very slow (despite being fast for normal activities of VM).  It works most of the time, sometimes reaching more than 70-80% briefly before returning less than 1% less than 1%.  Here is the graph of the network even if a transfer is in progress:

  

  No idea why this is happening?

  Hello

  It's really weird, have you tried to download the file using WinSCp or of Veeam FastSCP? If not, give it a try with one of the tools.

  What is the transfer between vCenter and other servers? Maybe that's a problem with the settings of duplex of incompatibility between the card port and switch network vCenter?

• VMDK file between windows and ESXi with VMFS on iSCSI copy

  Hi all!  I searched here and that you find that no good answer but then I hope that someone can help you.

  We have a group of 3 servers ESXi running off a single iSCSI target and often need to copy VM from the VMFS file system.

  To help the conversion tool is incredibly slow, it's on.  WinSCP and FastSCP work at about 5 MB and 3 MB/sec.  FTP is the best option so far, but it is only 8 MB/sec.  When we have to copy around a virtual machine that takes a lot of time of 20 GB.  In addition, when we make 15 copies of a VM is incredibly long.

  I hoped to be able to directly connect to the iSCSI target and mount the system files somehow, but can't seem to find a way to do it.  Defect is there any method better or faster?  Perhaps a better FTP server than the option of proftpd?

  We hoped a local copy with either USB or eSATA method, but doesn't seem to work.  USB is not detected even and I can not get a non-VMFS file system to mount via eSATA.

  If it works better we can set up a linux machine to mount iSCSI target if copies of file can work this way.

  Thanks for the tips!

• the vmdk files are compatible with ESXi 4.1 and Vmware server 2.0?

  I would like the two 4.1 ESXi and Vmware server 2.0 use the same vmdk file, of course, not at the same time just to the emergency plan. Is this possible?

• Extract the files of newspapers of esxi when host froze

  Hello

  I am running

  a hobby esxi server. My problem is that, on rare occasions (every 20 days or more)

  my server esxi host inexplicably hangs / freeze, making it very difficult to

  examine the cause. Keyboard LED still responds, but the esxi software is

  frozen.  I need to be able to see the

  the logs after a freeze like this, but resets esxi / loses those logs on

  reset.  Is it possible to make esxi

  Save the data that you see when you go to the view of "ALT + F12" local hard

  Syslog is

  is not an option for me since the only machine running 24/7 here the server

  which freezes.

  Thank you!

  You can configure the advanced layout SysLog.Local.Datastorepath is a point for a data store and ESXi will store a copy of the var in this location.  For a new installation by default ESXi 4.1 this parameter to/scratch/log/messages if you using ESXi Installable and the installation disk was 5 GB or more.  For previous versions ESXi or Embedded, you must manually set the variable.

• Where is the location of the log files to diagnose the ESXi host server is rebooted?

  Hi all

  Last night one of my ESXi host has rebooted itself for some unknown reason, is it possible to look in the log which make it restart?

  I have access to this URL: https://ESXi02/host is it possible to know what can cause her to restart while a sudden?

  Thank you.

  The best option for ESXi newspapers must collect through the VI client. VMware recommends not any diagnosis directly on the console of the server because it has a small hyperviser and no service console.

• Question about the .vmx file created on ESXi

  I'm trying to automate the creation of a virtual machine and take a snapshot. I use the vSphere SDK Perl.

  The problem I faced is if I create a virtual machine called TestVM, the .vmx file created on the ESXi is TestVM_1.vmx instead of TestVM.vmx due to which my snapshot creation fails.

  I faced the same problem, if I manually create the virtual computer. If there is no other computer virtual with the same name.

  A restart of the server ESXi fixed the problem.

• 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.

• ESXi does not lend itself to modification of the .vmx file

  Hello

  I use an old distro from Suse Linux 32-bit on a 64-bit VM Workstation.  I modified the file vmx virtual machines with "monitor_control.disable_longmode = 1" in order to force the guest to detect as a 32-bit operating system or a 32-bit application that must run on the Suse installation used client starts correctly.

  Everything works well, but I need to do the same thing on our ESXi server company but have encountered the following problems:

  1. its possible, but not easy to modify the vmx without ssh or ftp access.  Am I missing something here?

  2. our local IT guy hesitates to start hacking the configuration files unless it had to ensure that the other virtual machines, or entire server, be affected by the change

  I would be grateful if someone could a) advise on the best way to edit files on a server ESXi and b .vmx) confirm that changing the vmx on usually file a VM guest interfere with anything else running on the host computer.

  Thanks in advance,

• What is the purpose for "/ etc/ssh/ssh_config" and "/ etc/ssh/ssh_config.esx4" file

  When upgrading from ESX 3.5 to ESX 4, I see/etc/ssh/ssh_config and etc/ssh/ssh_config.esx4.

  When you install an ESX 4 update, the file ssh_config.esx4 does not exist.

  What are the objectives for the two files?

  I bet the .esx4 file is recommended ssh_config file but in the case where you have changed your file ssh_config will not overwrite the installer - this is why there is no .esx4 file when you perform a clean installation, there is no file pre-existing ssh_conffig - you took a look at the two files is it differences - the two must be text files -.

• Cannot access a file because it is locked (running ESXi)

  I managed to work around this problem by restarting the ESXi host, so it's not critical.

  I had a case where I couldn't start a virtual machine because its files were always locked by a process running on the ESXi host that was running at the origin of the VM.

  I know that with the ordinary ESX hosts, there is a procedure to kill the process that still has the locked files.  However, with ESXi I do not have a console to connect to.

  Not to mention that the computer restarting host physical ESXi, how can you find a process and end it on a locked files VM ESXi host?

  Thank you!

  -Tim

  You do not have to restart the ESXi host, but you will need to use the UNSUPPORTED as Nick shell.  Once you do, you can use ps to find the process and kill to kill the process.  You can enable ssh as well, but who would need to display the console not supported first then edit le/etc/inetd.conf.

• VM does not start after that ESXi was replaced by version 6

  Hi all

  
  

  I ran a scary problem after replacing my VMware ESXi version 5.1 to version 6.

  
  

  My server is an Areca RAID controller which is supported by version 6 default. Yes, after installation (clean installation) 6 ESXi on a key USB internal drive, everthing seem good. It shows my store of data stored on my RAID controller and I can see the content, (see attachment, image of my data store) including my VM file - SBS2011.vmdk.

  
  

  I'm not a highly qualified VM pro, but the hard (about 40GB) file must contain my full Windows environment (Windows 2011 server).

  
  

  Have access to my data store on my RAID controller and access to the original .vmx file, everything seems fine. Make a right click of the .vmx, add to the inventory and I'm ready to go... but... it does not start.

  
  

  It shows a resource error, not this additional information. My feeling is that there is something wrong with the location of the Swap, because it looks like the place to swap is located outside the VM storage location (hard). This is what looks like my .vmx:

  
  

  It is not stored on my hard ' / vmfs/volumes / 512 b 5271-cb39b672-c198-001e676870c7 /! It points to a different location.

  
  

  (File VMX also downloaded with this post)
  

  
  

  No I have two question. What would be the cause of this problem, not able to start the virtual machine?

  
  

  Second question. Perhaps a solution: delete all files in my store of data, except the VM-SBS2011 - flat hard file, create a new virtual machine on my server, using an existing drive (showing my VM-SBS2011 - flat hard), I'll be able to boot my virtual machine? It will create a (work) .vmx file to the cool address? There where no snapshots exist when I close my Windows OS down the last time. I lose all the data? Help, please!

  
  

  Currently, I download the full content (all files) of the database on my local computer as a backup. I hope that my hard file will be sufficient.

  
  

  I'm really grateful for your help!

  I copied the file-VM in VMWare ESXi 5.5 on another data store (more old HP SAS) server en guess what... it's starting! So for now I'm back in business. It seems that there is something wrong with the original server, because my hard file appears to be damaged otherwise it would not start on my old good spare HP server...

  I still wonder what the hell happened after I replaced the internal drive of hypervisor type USB and installed ESXi 6 on a cool USB. I got in the RAID array. Now, even when I start the server of origin with it's original ESXi 5.1 USB (intact), I got the same error when you try to start the virtual machine. Is thinking there's something wrong with the RAID array but I can access the database on the RAID array and (after you move the content to another VM machine) all files are very well run smooth on the other server. Kill me.

  Any ideas?

• Access to the files of the host

  Does anyone know if PowerCLI (version 5.0) can access a system hosts file? I'm looking to copy regularly on a file from each host and I would rather not enable SSH if I can avoid it. Thanks in advance.

  You can use http/https to access specific files on a server ESXi, see Access HTTP to the server vSphere files
