• Add esxi host to vCenter fails

  Hello world

  I recently installed vCenter Server. I added the first host by the name of full domain with no problems at all. I tried to add the second host and he stopped the vCenter service and I have my client I disconnected.  When I restart the service and connect through the client, the host is as disconnected displaying 7 VM 12 of offline as well. All virtual machines and on the first host are always connected without any alarm.

  This server was connected to another server vCenter, more than a month and deleted successfully, I can add. I tried to unplug and reconnect several times, restart management agents and manually uninstall the vCenter agent using the console "unsupported."

  One thing I noticed, is that it gets to 8 or 9 percent, and that's when the vCenter service is stopped. I opened a second client to watch where it stops and it is just after "Select the virtual NETWORK adapter" full show then nothing.

  Any help would be much appreciated!

  Thank you

  Ahh. There is your situation.

  Stop the virtual machine. Click on remove inventory.

  Go to your other ESXi host. Browse the data store, find the folder of the virtual machine, right-click on the VM.vmx file and add to the inventory.

  It works and're you good to go.

• 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

  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.

• 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.

• 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?

  JH

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

• What is the interval of time between the virtual machine Linux and ESXi host synchronization?

  I have ESX5.0 with a centos6 installed on this linux virtual machine.

  After the installation of vmware for Linux virtual machine tools, I activated the time synchronization between the virtual machine linux and ESXi host through vmware-toolbox-cmd.

  I wonder what is the interval of time between the virtual machine linux and ESXi host synchronization? If I quickly time OS system, when the OS system time will sync back to the ESXi host?

  According to http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/Timekeeping-In-VirtualMachines.pdf:

  By default, the demon checks the guest only once per minute operating system clock.

  However, depending on whether the guest is behind or in front of the result is different. So, please read the section "periodic synchronization" (at least) in the document mentioned above.

• OME not related updates a period of 1950

  I have a server PowerEdge 1950 running RHEL 6 and OMSA. It is not a DRAC card, but questioned via SNMP by MOE. I know there is a Controller PERC 5 / i integrated firmware version available because he told me when I connect to the OMSA. However, OME reports this particular server compliant and has no update.

  For reference the PERC's current firmware version 5.2.1 - 0067 and OMSA reports the most recent as 5.2.2 - 0072.

  Any ideas on why OME recount not updated?

  Scott, the last catalogue FTP of Dell dropped 9th gen servers. So it will show as being compliant, regardless of what's out there.

• Update firmware H730 on ESXi

  We have two R530 running ESXi 5.5. They run slightly updated firmware on controllers RAID minis H730 I would like to update.

  The problem is the firmware update files I can find are if you are on Windows or Linux. How do I the R530 firmware update if I run ESXi? I am aware of the image of Dell SUU, but it's more than 10 GB is size, which is much too big, even for a DVD double layer.

  Dell do not seem to offer a "hard drive" version of the firmware from what I see.

• Unable to connect to update ESXi host to vCenter

  So I have a client who does the following:

  Added several hosts, vCenter, went to install the updates using the Update Manager.  Host selected and selected re-mediation.  Server through the remediation proposals and restarted.  After server comes back online after the first reboot, it is impossible to connect to vCenter.

  Updated version: 5.5U3b ESXi

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Sean.

  Hello

  I assume that your customer has forgotten to update the vCenter server before it has updated the hosts.

  You must have at least version 5.5 U3b on the vCenter to manage the hosts of these version.

• Update Server VC and 5.5 ESXi hosts to update 3 b (Build 3248547)

  I'm in vCenter Server 5.5 and 5.5 ESXi hosts.  Both are updated 3A, patched to version 201510001, which is the build 3116895.  I plan the upgrade of update 3 b (Build 3248547) and I'm a little confused on the question of SSLv3.

  I wonder if this point below ESXi55 U3b & VC 55U3b Known Issues applies to my config:

  ESXi does not automatically added to the inventory of the vCenter servers
  If you install an earlier version of vCenter Server and vSphere Update Manager for ESXi 5.5 updated 3B, then after the task of sanitation, ESXi does not automatically added to the VC inventory. Remediation process never gets done and ESXi State of connection in the VC inventory is presented as disconnected. Solution: When you restart ESXi after reorganization process is started, enable SSLv3 on ESXi (which is disabled by default). This will ensure that ESXi is added to the VC inventory automatically in minutes and sanitation as completed.

  If I'm reading things correctly, upgrade to vCenter Server to 3 b first and then upgrade the ESXi hosts, will avoid lost communication problems.  Can anyone confirm?

  It should be good if you update vCenter first.

  The problem is that pre - U3b vCenter 5.5 forces an SSLv3 connection when connecting to an ESXi host on port 443 (not the reverse). It does this, even if the host ESXi and vCenter SSL/TLS libraries actually support TLS 1.0 + since at least vSphere 4.0.

  So when you update one host to 5.5 U3b, the oldest vCenter again will try to force a connection SSLv3 that will fail, since SSLv3 has been disabled to the host. If you're updating vCenter, first of all, it will initiate a good TLS 1.0 + connection to more similar and updated hosts.

  Here is an explanation of the (pre - U3b) vCenter SSLv3 handshake behavior:

• Difference of ESXi hosts between analysis of updates and patches of scene

  Hello

  I have two ESXi hosts with round about 700 applicable patches.

  What is the difference between "stage Patches"und"search for updates"?

  Do I need maintenance mode for the scene fixes?

  Kind regards

  Roland

  

  Hello

  Scan for updates will scan the hosts against the basic lines of patch you have attached to them and to report on the status of this host against the base line, so, essentially, Scan for updates will tell you what patches and updates to your departure are absent from the host if the return "non-compliant" or "compliant" if all patches are already installed.  It can also return 'Unknown' or 'Inconsistent' according to the status of the host and other factors.

  Step will basically copy all files to update and patch that must be installed to the willing host for the conversion, which will be more actually to install patches.  Staging of updates to date does not make service, you don't need to put the host in maintenance mode, while the staging, the host must be in service during the reclamation mode.  You can trigger a reorganization without staging, but the benefit of the staging is, first of all, you will reduce the amount of time that your host is out of action because all patches and updates are already in place in anticipation of final approval, which means that the rehabilitation phase is much faster.

  I hope this helps.

• Update Manager upgrade of the ESXi host that he is running in a virtual machine does

  That is the question.  Here is some information.  We were a completely virtualized environment for several years.  2 guests ESXi collocated 5.5 to different data centers connected of course by a VPN site-to site.  The VPN itself is provided by VMs and vCenter runs in a VM to one of the sites as Update Manager is to proceed with installing it. If the vCenter and/or VPN VMs are down, we have a very cool backup method to gain access to and manage ESXi and its console.   Some of you who read the rest of the present will be tempted to suggest to architecting our environment differently, but we are very pleased with the way it is thank you very much :-)  Appreciate all the answers but really just responded to this specific question.

  The reason why we want to Update Manager is really just to be able to upgrade easily ESXi in the future without enter in the console and the execution of orders, etc.  I realize the documentation and blogs on this topic that ESXi may need to go into maintenance mode and stop the virtual machines running on it (not a cluster if no migration) how ESXi is lose connection to the Update Manager (if the remote host) or a stop Update Manager (if the local host).  So the question is, is that the process of updating managed by Update Manager an atomic operation at that crucial moment or a sequence of operations depend on continuous connectivity and control of Update Manager.  Ddoes ESXi, then perform the upgrade and restart regardless - that would be great - or he'll just stand there in maintenance mode to learn more about disconnected now / stop Manager update pending.

  Your answers are greatly appreciated.

  Please, tell me if I understand you:

  Ask yourself if you can upgrade the host running Update Manager VM? And you cannot migrate the virtual to another host machine because there is no cluster in place and no shared storage?

  If your answer is YES to both questions, I can tell you that you cannot use Update Manager, since you must put your host in Maintenance Mode and therefore you will need to stop all virtual machines running, including the VM Manager Update.

• Updated 5.1 ESXi host

  Hello

  I have a VMware 5.1.0 host 1157734. There the ESXi image profile - 5.1.0 - 799733.

  Software using the command esxicli vib UPDATE without specifying the vib for the esxi-510-201404001, is the host became fully updated?

  Or do I have to install each updates in order?

  Thanks in advance...

  Dmsousa

  You can patch the current build using only the last patch of the host. Please take a look at KB VMware: installation of patches on an ESXi host from the command-line 5.x for the difference between install and Update, especially if you use additional drivers or the vendor/OEM facility.
