• The "Console" tab fails on servers on a host ESX Server 3.5.0

  Hello

  On one of our server VMware ESX 3.5.0 123630 hosts, I get an error message when I try to use the "Console" tab on the servers located on the ESX Server.

  The error message "unable to connect to the host esx006.sb.local: a connection attempt fails, because the connected party did not properly after a period or the connection failed because the connected host has failed."

  This ESX Server is configured as all the other ESX servers in our environment, so I don't understand why it does not work on the ESX Server.

  I have no problems connecting to the ESX Server and I have no problems connecting to servers through the mstsc.

  I have the following VMware Infrastructure customers installed on my computer:

  -VMware Infrastructure Client 2.5

  -VMware Virtual Infrastructure Client 2.0

  -VMware vSphere Client 4.1

  To connect to the above mensioned ESX Server, I use the client "VMware Infrastructure Client, Version 2.5.0 Build 147704".

  Can you help me solve this mystery?

  Kind regards

• Unable to virtualize the host esx Server quadcore AMD Barcelona B3

  I have a server with AMD Quad Core CPU Barcelona B3 32 GB of RAM. I installed ESX 4.0 update1 on it successfully. After that, I try to virtualize esx server on this server. I added the new virtual machine with a standard configuration. When I try to boot the cdrom ESX4.0 I get the error message shown in the attachment.

  I tried with esx 3.5 and 4. Same mistake.

  cpuinfo on the esx host recognizes that UC is B3.

  I would be grateful no work around for this work.

  Thanks in advance

  It seems that your host is in an EVC cluster configured for Opterons third generation.  VCA usurps the guest not to not CPUID settings for a 'lowest common denominator' CPU, which is, unfortunately, a B2.  Try to remove the EVC cluster host.

• Copy files from my computer to a host ESX 3.5

  Hello

  Relatively new to the naked ESX Server with me on this one. I built on an ESX host with the intent to use it to restore an Exchange mailbox for one of our users. I have 3 comments of the machine (a domain controller, an exchange server and a vista client to reconnect the mailbox). I have those 3 vms on a single internal vSwitch. The problem is that the Exchange database files that I restored are sitting in a folder on our production network. My question is, how do I copy these files to the vm of the exchange on my host ESX Server? Thanks in advance for any ideas.

  There are two ways you could do this.

  You can add a second vnic to the Vista client. the vnic would uplink for a vswitch with access to the network of prod. Give the client Vista a static IP from the network of production on the new vnic and copy files on via SMB (i.e.
  prodserver\c$ \somepathwheremyfilesare\)

  You can also set up a temporary virtual router (http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9617)

  Or I guess you can burn the files to an ISO then transfer the ISO in a data store on the ESX host and then mount the ISo as a CD image (don't forget to clear the bit read only)

• NATing between an ESX server and the Virtual Center Server.

  We strive to set up a server to VirtualCenter 2.5 inside a firewall and put servers ESX 3.5 within each of our customer networks. The problem is that within each client network, the IP address must be coordinated. Support of ESX 3.5 originating server, and if so, how do I set up? If not, how VMware plans to support this?

  I think I am confused?

  It is on this link?

  Supported for VirtualCenter 2.0 only NAT

  This version supports for the connection from ESX Server 2.5 and VirtualCenter 3.0 hosts using NAT (NAT). To configure ESX Server to connect to a VirtualCenter server is configured behind a NAT, you must add the following in vpxd.cfg configuration setting:

  < vpxd >

  ...

  < managedip >ipAddress< / managedip >

  ...

  < / vpxd >

  When the IP address is the address of the host ESX Server uses to communicate with the VirtualCenter server.

  See KB 2195771 "Manually setting Cluster IP address for Clustered VirtualCenter Server" for more information on the manual configuration of the IP address in the file vpxd.cfg.

  Also note that the NAT must be configured to allow packets UDP Port 902 of this IP address.

• mutex slow performance in windows xp on the host ESX 5 prompt

  I've done a few consumer casual producer marks written in C with visual studio 2005 on dual core 2 ghz cpu, with processor type and identical win xp professional o.s., it seems to me on ESX, execution mutex, events and corresponding waitforsingleobject is 1/10th to 1/2 the speed on the physical machine, Windows 7 instead the performance is about half of the corresponding physical machine I was wondering if anyone else noticed, this is perhaps due to how mutex/criticism sections/events/semaphores are emulated in the ESX binary translation, there are all the settings of windows xp 32 bits comments under ESX 5 to allow especially stimulate the sync speed of process/thread to make it similar to a physical machine may?

  I am attaching a small test project for vs 2005 in case anyone could take the trouble to try and compare the pure speed of physical synchronization primitives and ESX especially if in win xp there is a penalty of macroscopic speed or maybe I did something wrong as I ran the test on an overloaded perhaps ESX.

  Is it possible to wake up another process in win xp without incurring TPR registry bashing?

  I do not know.  It is not clear to me why Windows wants to change the TPR in the first place.  The TPR is to block external interruptions, and I see not why Windows would change the external interrupts are blocked, according to what level process user is active.

  I noticed that windows 7 synchronization is much faster on the same ESX with FlexPriority probably not activated, likely due to 'Lazy TPR', which I believe has been implemented in o.s. later than xp, so I guess that the more realistic prospect is to go with win 7, given I don't think that in my particular environment , I'm working on they would be willing to risk life and limb with potentially unstable FlexPriority bios patcher, has taken the fact that xp is end of life taken into charge anyway, but thanks for giving me a clue what may happen anyway.

  Windows XP 64-bit is another option.  He always denigrated on the TPR, but uses instead of MMIO CR8. (AMD hotfix did the same thing with an ISA AMD extension that allows the code to 32-bit access CR8.)

  Note also that FlexPriority is not a panacea.  It can reduce the cost of a TPR of 2000 update ~ cycles to ~ 400 cycles, but it is still far from what it costs in native mode, which is of ~ 2 cycles.

  Binary translation, TPR updates are rather cheap, but BT has its own performance issues.

  Your Windows XP guest running with binary translation or hardware-assisted virtualization?  You can check the file for 'HV Settings' vmware.log know.

• Time synchronization with host ESX to Windows start even if disabled in VMware Tools?

  Hello

  just got in trouble with a freshly installed Windows XP SP3 VM do not apply Active Directory group policies. After some research, I discovered that this happened only with VMware Tools installed.

  With VMware Tools installed, Windows events 1030 and 1097 were generated at each start (the events say that group policy processing has been abandoned and that there is a time difference between the server and the client) and group policies have been applied.

  Without VMware tools, everything was fine.

  After some additional debugging I discovered that the ESXi (4.1) server was not configured with a valid NTP server and the host time was 10 minutes behind. However, as time synchronization between the guest OS and the ESX host has been disabled in VMware tools, I couldn't imagine it was really the cause of the problem. But strangely it turned out that this was indeed the case! At every Windows startup time has been at the time of the host ESX - but only for a few seconds. This can be seen in the attached photo: initially, there are guest operating system time, and then you see the jump both ESX and then jump back to the guest operating system.

  Why does this happen? Hard, I could solve the problem in the first place by configuring the NTP server on the host, I would like to know why VMware tools change the time of the guest OS, even if it is disabled!

  Thank you

  When he put the VM must draw from somewhere and since the AI network time form more that probably not started it must draw from the host, but once the networking appears he died in the NTP source - that's why it is recommended to configure your ESXi (and ESX) to synchronize the time with NTP source.

• Without change to the FC switch to mode mode end-host FC

  In the window of maintenance last night, I was going to spend one of my systems UCS switch FC FC end-host Mode. The intention was to be able to reach the storage systems via an external FC SAN, instead of the current situation where storage is directly attached to the FIs. The UCS system in question is redundant fabric 6248UP of interconnections, blades are all of the B200M2 or the B200M3, and infrastructure (UCSM, FIs and IOM) running version 2.2(3a).

  The plan was relatively simple. First of all, I would like to change FI B mode end-host FC. Once this has been done re - I would record vHBAs the blades attached to the fabric B in my storage system, so that they could access their storage via the external SAN. Then I go through all the blade servers and ensure that they had access to storage multipath healthy and tolerant, how I would like to repeat the process for FI.

  It turned out to be a disaster, however. Once I started the process of change FI B FC end-Host mode, FIs times restarted, and all servers access storage and network. When they came again, both of them had changed the fashionable end-host FC, which means that none of the blades had access to their storage volumes more. So there is nothing to do but to return the change. Yet once, two FIs restarted at the same time and they both returned to the top in switching mode of CF. A few hours later, after have rebooted most of blade servers and cleaning applications having failed, we were in normal production.

  So what I was asking here why on Earth the two of my FIs restarted at the same time. Is this a known bug? The user interface would certainly think one can ignore at a time as I had planned, because the CF implemented end-Host Mode action link is on the page of each individual FI in UCSM (under hardware-> connections-> interconnection fabric A fabric / B). (So the action Set FC Switching Mode of link, incidentally.) Also, when I click on this link, I get a warning saying local ' are you sure you want to set the mode of end-host FC? If you select Yes , the fabric of interconnection will restart and this application will disconnect'. Note the use of the singular here; the warning refers to an single fabric of interconnection, which is perfectly logical that the change was requested only on one two FIs.

  The wording is misleading, because it is not in order with a completed receipt one.

• ESX Server won't go into maintenance mode - Timeout

  We have 1 host ESX 4.1 support our view desktop computers. I tried to plan a reorganization of the host during the night, but jobs would not be the exit ramp leading to the maintenance task timeout mode.

  What will do to make desktop computers will be exit during this upgrade? I put all the desktops into maintenance mode before the host trys to remedy?

  Thank you

  This part of a cluster DRS ESX Server? If not you will need to manually stop or vmotion the VMS to another ESX host before it can go into maintenance mode - if it's part of a DRS DRS cluster must be set fully automated so DRS can automatically vmotion the VMs before entering maintenance mode.

• Host ESX 4.1 VC does not

  Hello

  I installed VC 4.1.0 in a virtual machine Windows 2003. Installation and setup went smoothly. Now, when I add a host (ESX) to the VC, the host indicates that does not respond within a few seconds. Is this something known? I found a similar thread http://communities.vmware.com/message/1347953, where it was mentioned that it is a known problem with old buildings.

  In addition, when add it this host to an another similar VC it works fine. Not able to understand the problem with this configuration of VC.

  Waiting for a response from VC experts.

  Thanks in advance

• The mode of maintenance ESX through the vCLI

  I wonder if it is possible to hire a full maintenance ESX mode using the vCLI.

  There are at least two controls available, but non of them wishes to migrate virtual machines to other ESX hosts running.

  -However - possible thats using the GUI of vCenter. If you enable maintenance ESX in UI mode, running the THAT VM will be migrated before the ESX Server is in maintenance mode.

  Unfortulately VM migration manually through the vCLI could also not an option, given that DRS could start moving another candidate VM back to the ESX Server, which should enter into maintenance mode. To avoid this, should also stop the automated mode of DRR.

  It would be great, if there is a command or an available option, which would make all this automatically. Since it works with the GUI, it shouldn't be so difficult start this process also the vCLI.

  Perhaps it is already implemented - and I don't know about it. So any advice would be more than helpful.

  Otherwise: are there other ideas (scripts may be already available), which would help here?

  In fact, there are a variety of scripts provided with the vCLI that many are not aware of called "vSphere SDK for Perl utilities" and the other that hostops.pl allows you to perform various operations of the host against a specific host ESX (i), unfortunately the version implemented by VMware does not properly a vCenter cluster maintenance mode and therefore if you used He would have not evacuated running virtual machines.

  Quickly, I wrote my own version which takes account of vCenter, this script must be run against vCenter with a list of host ESX (i) to perform a certain operation and the latest version of the script, it supports the two enter/exit maintenance mode.

  Check out this script for instructions/requirements:

• Planning of the names of the dns infrastructure and host esx (FQHN)

  Greetings,

  We plan our virtual environment for ESX 3.5 on IBM xSeries hardware. The environment will be made up (initially for short term) of two ESX host machines and a server that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 for virtual center and VCB to backup proxy functions. My questions and concerns, consider installing the management network and the host names of the servers themselves.

  I want to ensure the safety of the ESX servers and management functions by choosing a servo for all ESX hosts IP subnet and the virtual Center. Anyone done this? The back of the draw are more limited communication with the "machines" or more complicated infrastructure network that you need to add an interface on a router or an internal firewall for proper computers can access the host ESX and virtual Center. - What someone else? Are there better ways?

  I also have questions about a naming convention good/responsible for all vmware hosts. We have example.com as a public domain. Someone also created a domain in active directory (who did not understand what they were doing) in the same domain, so my structure active directory looks like "host.example.example.com" - silly, I know. I guess that it is more appropriate to not place ESX or other host vmware in the same logical domain/dns as members active directory. While the leaves creating a separate field or using the public domain from example.com (esx.example.com). I thought for security and separation, it may be more appropriate to use "esx.example.local". This command removes any way for virtual infrastructure mingle in the public domain. All comments, thoughts, carries on this?

  I also intended to appoint guests something like the following: ESX1.something.tld, ESX2.something.tld, etc. and virtual center something like VC.something.tld. Since virtual center needs to be a member of active directory to allow the mapping to user accounts, those who cause any issies with the ESX host with different domain names complete? Are there other ways to connect to active directory without being a domain member machine? Is anyone doing or having problems with it from a security point?

  fhrivers,

  Thank you. I suppose that by 'local management LAN', you hear the internal local production lan do you use?

  We actuallu use 2 subnets now, private, internal, and a DMZ for guests in public (although it's hard to keep everything under this distinction more). I assume that your recommendation is just to meet the host ESX and virtual center under the internal local subnets, even as the other hosts internal and access control on virtual Center allows to regulate access to the VI3. Certainly address more easily. You have concerns the fact that VC is running on a windows platform and is therefore vulnerable as such? I was trying to come up with a good armor for VC. I guess that windows firewall is always an option, or stop the services and other standard precautions. What is your opinion of securing virtual Center?

  You're right, I want to talk about the normal subnet that all servers and users are connected to.  This works in my environment, but may not work in environments more serious questions of internal security.

  I actually run VCenter as a virtual machine in a HA cluster to eliminate the scenario of hardware failure, but I do not see why the vCenter running Windows makes it more vulnerable than any computer on your network.  Like any other essential service, I would make sure that running the server vCenter vCenter only and that essential services only run including a client anti-malware.  I tend to take an approach more inside-out security and not an outside in approach.  I'm more concerned with security at the application layer to the edge of the network.  Again, which works best for my environment.

  If it works in Windows safe mode, then you have a problem with other software, maybe a security software or a system driver that runs on your computer.

  It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

  Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.
