OMSA for ESXi 5.5

• Restart OMSA on ESXi 5.1 7.1

  We loaded OMSA 7.1 for ESXi on our VMWare hosts.  We connect using OpenManage on another machine and "managing a remote node.

  OMSA on the VMWare host no longer from time to time, but he always comes back with a reboot of the host.  I think it may be the tomcat server as Dell OM Essentials still seems SNMP messages.

  I do not want to restart the whole army for OMSA to run again.

  Anyone know how to check if the OMSA services are running on the host computer and how those who do not have to restart?

  Thank you.

  I was on the phone with Dell's VMWare support last night and they have answered my question.

  Here restarts all the services management and worked for us.

• Reconfigure RAID (Online Capacity Expansion) does not work for non Dell drives in the bios and is not available in OMSA for VMWare

  VMWare users have found a solution for the following?

  Readers of PERC H700 and H800 (firmware current 12.10.4 - 0001 A10, r610 servers) allow the user (in the bios during startup) to create new virtual disks using non Dell drives, but you cannot expand a virtual disk existing readers not Dell, when in the bios.  The option is grayed out.

  OMSA for Windows bypasses it.  Virtual disk | Tasks | Reconfigure can do online capacity expansion and accepts disks not Dell for this.

  Problem is OMSA to VMWare ESXi (v7.2, the current version and older versions) doesn't have a virtual disk tasks fall to the bottom.  You can not even a hard drive flashes.  (VMWare ESXi = v5.1)

  The only solution we can think of is to have two drive arrays connected to the computer, and create a simple Windows with OMSA, boot in Windows Server to expand the virtual disk using OMSA for Windows.

  I would be interested in the comments of others, including those of Dell.  We spent hours on the phone with Dell; This seems to be the only solution.  (Yes, Dell released a firmware version last year that has ceased blocking non Dell readers, but it only works for the creation of a new virtual disk, do not expanding one existing).

  The firmware update the unlocked non certified discs was in July 2010 (two years ago).  No latest updates seem to speak of changes/updates to update that.

  I don't know why uncertified discs would be blocked for a single operation (expansion/reconfigure) - are get you certain types of message that certainly is the case?  Did you do that with certified readers?  Last I heard, Dell had a firmware update in the works that would allow an extension to get the CTRL-R utility, where it historically could not be done from there.  12.10.4 as of 2012, I guess (if the Dell guy who told me he rode was OK) this update has not been released yet... However, I could be wrong.  I don't have a H700 to test with, but you can try OMSA live as an alternative to the construction of a temporary Windows Server to try the expansion of the OMSA.

• Service profile of the CISCO UCS for ESXi

  Do you need multiple boot LUN on the storage array for each host that you want to apply the service profile to? I'm just confused, let's say I have 12 blades that I want to designate as boot SAN for ESXi, y aura-t 12 profiles of separate service for each of them, and will need me 12 different LUNS on our storage? I am new to this and I just want to make it as clean as possible! Any help is appreciated.

  Hi Justin,

  You can have the same LUN ID for multiple service profiles, as well as the same target ID. However, your initiators will be different and you will need to configure the zoning on your switch upstream if you use the end host mode.

  Here is a good guide, review the basics and how to put in place.

• Free license for Esxi 6.0 Cisco custom ISO

  Dear all,

  Is it possible to get the free license for Esxi 6.0 custom cisco ISO? or what can I use standard 6.0 for Cisco 6.0installation custom Esxi Esxi free license key?

  I could find the free license only for Esxi 6.0 standard image customized Cisco.

  Thank you.

  Welcome to the community,

  Cisco and other hardware providers offer ESXi images customized to support their equipment. However, the customization is made by adding/replacement drivers and tools. The base is still the same original VMware image. There is no specific license provider.

• VMware Tools for ESXi not in running and not installed

  (nested) Tools of ESXi does not.

  I installed an ESXi 5.5 nested on a physical and installed 5.5 ESXi host tools on the virtual ESXi5.5.

  However both the client c# as the Web Client report not (not running, not installed) tools.

  When I type 'list of software esxcli vib', I see the esx-tools-for-esxi in the list.

  I have attached the vmware.log for the nested ESXi, I use nesting for several years only and had no problems.

  Thanks in advance

  You are hiding the fact that you run in a virtual machine, if the tools do not start.  Shut down the virtual computer, remove this line from your configuration file and restart:

  Hello, my saver

  Currently, I have an Esxi, but before I used a picture of WMware player to my virtual server and I know, I use Vsphere to work with my 5.1 ESsxi, I just want to know if I can use my VMware Player image in VSphere for Esxi? and if the answer is Yes, how?

  Thanks for your help.

  Right, so use VMware converter to do this as indicated in my previous post.

• Best practices for ESXi system saves location

  Hi all

  What is the recommendation of VMWare for the storage location of the ESXi logs? Of course, if a VMFS path is not configured under software > advanced settings, then the papers will not be stored on a persistent storage. We have installed 5.5 ESXi hypervisor on a 16 GB USB, newspapers can be stored there?

  Thank you!

  You must configure partitions on the USB key, which is a bit complicated. One for ESXi and the other for logging. If the host has local storage (our not, that is why we are doing the extra work) it may be better to just write logs in the data store.

• Where to download an update of product for ESXi

  Hello world.

  I recently had the course Vmware Fast Track (ESXi 5.1) and I am a VCP5-VTC certification.

  I got a little confused with the ESXi upgrade continuously, so I would like to read it again.

  I managed to download ESXi 5.0, 5.1 and 5.5 and vSphere last trial.

  Am I right to say that vSpere will be 5.5 & retro-compatible with 5.0,5.1?

  I try to find "option groups" so that I can simulate an upgrade, but I find only the install ISO images.

  Or did I miss something, I'm supposed to use installation ISO Images to upgrade?

  See you soon

  Martin

  Note: Discussion moved successfully to downloads on VMware ESXi 5

  Hello and welcome to the communities.

  The Patch Portal has news for ESXi. vCenter Server you will get just the ISO last and it will allow you to spend with her.

  For examining the compatibility, see the product VMware interoperability matrices.

  Good luck in your VTC VCP5!

• Rufus (free utility) takes 2 minutes to create a USB bootable for ESXi installation starting source who becomes the target of the installation, even for 5.5

  Just info, one of these open Windows source rare beads that are becoming more and more difficult to find on the web these days, in the middle of a see payloads of downloader.

  Rufus I found to be very convenient for the quick creation of a USB flash drive you can start from, and then only install, for ESXi, no command-line stuff to memorize necessary and very fast:

  TinkerTry.com/rufus-takes-2-minutes-to-create-a-bootable-usb-flash-drive-for-esxi-installation

  works very well with ESXi 5.5 also:

  TinkerTry.com/download-vsphere-5-lab

  and when finished with this flash drive and you want to use it for something else (but normal reformatting does not work), she who manages, even on Windows 8.1:

  TinkerTry.com/rufus-lets-you-quickly-and-easily-reformat-an-esxi-usb-flash-drive-back-to-full-capacity

  Especially useful for people to start who shy away from Linux VMware procedure:

  Format a USB to start the ESXi Installation or upgrade

  Documentation Centre of vSphere 5.5

  Windows diskpart commands or potentially dangerous. Really fair, fast and useful for pretty much everyone.

  Thoughts and opinions?

  Just a follow up on my comment about several injection of VIB in the ISO that you use as a file source for Rufus (a few months back, seen above):

  Here is the article that came out of this subject (Yes, it works!):

• How do I configure Openfiler for ESXi 5.0 (on which has been installed in the workstation).

  9.0 pre-installed VMware I installed in my laptop. I created a 5.0 as a VM ESXi in workstation. And I installed vSphere client 5.0 in my laptop. And I am able to access ESXi from my laptop through the vSphere client.

  Now, I created a VM with Windows 2008 R2 on top of ESXi. I installed vCenter 5.0 in Windows 2008 R2 Machine. I have just to connect to vCenter using vSphere client (which has been installed in my laptop) and added ESXi as host in the inventory.

  Now, I created a VM with Openfiler. Everything is fine. I want to use this Openfiler as a storage array, and I want the SAN with ESXi and Openfiler configuration.

  I think I need to create a VMkernel port group and attach that Openfiler VM who. And if I want to access the Openfiler web interface, do I need to have internet access? We can access the Openfiler Web interface without having access to the internet?

  Can someone let me know how to connect this Openfiler as a storage Bay for ESXi and configure a San.

  Openfiler does not need Internet access and you do not require an additional VMkernel port for access.  If it's production, you share the management and traffic on NIC iSCSI physical separate and thus vmkernel ports.  In this case, it is not necessary.  Did you do the initial installation of Openfiler to create a LUN for the ESXi host access?
