One of the ESXi host 3 no HW Compatible for ESXi 6 upgrade?

Hello

There are 3 DELL servers (2 of them are running R530 and 1 is executed R900).

When attempting to upgrade these 5.5 ESXi hosts to ESXi 6, we find that the R900 is no longer supported.

Wonder what is the best way for us to do - keep using ESXi 5.5 or level 2 of them to ESXi 6 and leave remaining on an ESXi 5.5?   We have no intention to replace the R900 in the near future.

Thank you

If all three hosts are part of the ESXi Cluster, then you must do all the guests at the same version level. Therefore, keep all the on ESXi 5.5

But if you use these host as a standalone ESXi host then you can upgrade the host to ESXi 6 two and let R900 on ESXi 5.5

Thank you

  • HA error on one of the three hosts

    Hello

    I have set up a cluster with three servers and active HA.  Two servers work fine, however, one of the servers (esx1) has an error saying HA 'agent on esx1 cluster in MCC MCC has an error.  I checked the logs and looks esx1 determines that esx3 is the main agent, but it is impossible to connect to it so that it determines that there is no agent that runs on esx3.

    I made sure that I could ping esx1 esx3 and I can't.  I also made sure it solves with the short name and the FULL domain name, and it does.  Not sure why it cannot connect... ideas?  The log is attached.

    When the full domain name is configured properly, sometimes I just uninstall vpxa issues ESX host, disconnect & remove then add it to your cluster.

  • 23 envy d027c All In One with the card mother Lavaca3-SB IPISB - NK. How to upgrade the video card?

    I have a HP Envy 23 d027c All In One with the card mother Lavaca3-SB (pegatron) IPISB-NK.  It has a PCI slot available for upgrade of the video.  I want to do this.  I intend to use the pc for video processing and maybe a few games.

    How to pass the video?

    What cards are best for this system?

    What has changed in the BIOS or other settings I should do?  How can I get them?

    Thank you

    The PCIe MXM slot is for HP install graphics cards in some models CTO (configure-to-order). Without the card installed when you purchased the computer, there the fan and radiator bad sets. You will need to buy a graphics card and the heatsink / fan of HP to try to upgrade the GPU in your computer. There is an extensive disassembly involved in this procedure. All-in-One computers have much more in common with laptops than they do with traditional desktop computers.

    Honestly, if you want to do video processing and games... you should get a traditional desktop with enough CPU and GPU for these activities.

  • What's the power adapter of Tecra M4 compatible for Portege M400?

    After the failure of my Tecra M4, I bought Toshiba Portege M400. They batteries are the same.
    How compatible are adapters for machines?

    If they are compatible, for example can use one at work and one at home?

    Hello

    You can use them for both machines as the adapters have almost the same current. In your case, you can instantiate your idea with the help at work and another at home.
    I have 3 adapters that have classes 5A and I can drive almost all of my toshiba´s who need 15 v input voltage.

    You can also check current glancing at the bottom of the machine on this small silver sticker. Then, you can be absolutely sure.

    Recently, there are two ESXi 6 install the host added a new Vcenter 6 and connected to a new HP 3PAR storage. Each ESXi host have two cards of one fiber port. One of the ESXi host comes with a missing SFP adaptor server. The two fibers of server have been added to the host HP 3par storage profile. After receiving the missing card from the seller, it was installed at the location for map available fiber and I check the connection of HP 3par and vmware path.

  • Method for patching only host ESXi4.1 and VC is on the same host

    Hello people,

    I'm patching one of the ESXi, 4.1.0 348481 and Vcenter Server 4.1 Update1 (VM) is sitting on the same host ESXi. Please let me know how I can this patch

    a single host as the Vcenter also will restart. I'm looking to patch manually rather than Update Manager. How patch manually the ESXi host as there is no rounds in ESXi and what serves the Cli. If his VCLI then what is the command for the application of patches and download link. I'm looking to get the procedure. Any help on this

    will be well appreciated.

    Thank you

    vmguy

    If you have another host, you can vMotion your VM vCenter to it, then use AUVS to patch.  If a stand-alone host, then you will need to turn off vCenter and all the guests and try the method below

  • help - vm to 100% with Betclic resources cpu, but the ESX host to 15% cpu

    Hi all

    5 * HP BL460c Blade each with two Quad Core Xeon E5450 and and 8 GB of RAM.

    ESX 3.5

    VirtualCenter 2.5.0

    DRM and active HA.

    I need assistance with resource pools. Currently I have them all together for:

    • expandable

    • unlimited

    for the CPU and memory. I tried without reserve and with reservations, and it is indifferent to the result.

    I'm running a server SQL2008 (2 * vCPU, 3.5 GB of RAM) which is pretty hard. and from time to time the cpu usage spikes to 100% (6 GHz) and saturate at this time here. When I go to the graphs of the ESX host, I see up to 3 physical processes responsible... and all the others are dormant...

    I'm working on why he no longer not affected resources of the ESX host. I thought that because of the resource sharing (unlimited), he could catch resource from the pool of resources of the parent (unlimited). And our Installer is very very little used - so much processing power/mem available spare parts.

    I have also some really stupid questions:

    • with SMP, 1 vCPU means only 1 pCPU host is used?
      I never thought that this true, but in this example, it seems that only 2 pCPUs on the host are used... maybe 3,.., it is difficult to tell from the graph

    • a virtual machine can use more resources from a host at the same time?

    with SMP, 1 vCPU means only 1 pCPU host is used?

    I never thought that this true, but in this example, it seems that only 2 pCPUs on the host are used... maybe 3,.., it is difficult to tell from the graph

    Yes, assign you a resource equivalent to a virtual machine to the host.  Therefore, if you assign 1 vCPU which is equivalent to a unique Jepp on the host computer in the slot.

    a virtual machine can use more resources from a host at the same time?

    No. a resource pool is on a cluster, but VM inside this POOL can only use a single host resources.  The case is from ESX can use DRS to load balancing force of the VM, the pool determines the overall consumption and that you assign VM accordingly.  But ESX is not yet there to physical resource take other hosts.  What ever host is on, it is that the only place these resources can be achieved.

    What process the SQL 2008 taking up the CPU process?  I think it's SQL Server, in which case it is not that you can do.  One of the reasons that I discourage using VM for SQL, SQL works not virtualized.

  • Cannot migrate VM between 5.5 ESXi versions: the version of the product to the destination host does not support one or several CPU features

    We receive an error message that I am trying to make sense. I understand very well the notion of compatibility, CPU, CPUID, masking and so on, after working on a competitor hypervisor. However, this error seems wrong (or needs better wording) based on my understanding:

    Here is the message:

    ----

    A general error occurred: the version of the product to the destination host does not support one or several features of the CPU currently use by the virtual machine.

    Characteristics of CPUID level 0 x 1 'ecx' register are indicated with a '1' bit: x00x:xxx0:xx0x:x 000: x 0 11xx:00: 00xx:11xx

    ----


    This happened during the migration between two hosts ESXi with the same physical processors - in this case, a Westmere X 5650.


    The source host is on ESXi build 2068190 (5.5). The destination host is on ESXi build 1474528.


    The bits it seems to complain are:


    DTES64

    Monitor/MWait

    Cx16

    PDCM

    The punch line seems to be: "the product version of the destination host. However, I have trouble believing that support for these features have been added to ESXi between the two versions. If it were, VMware has been certainly silent about.

    For what it's worth, explicitly set us the CPUID masks in our virtual machines (no, CVS is not an option for us at this time.) This is the mask:

    CPUID.1.EAX = "00000000000000100000011001010001".

    CPUID.1.ECX = "00000010100110001110001000111111".

    CPUID.1.EDX = "10001111111010111111101111111111".

    CPUID.80000001.ECX = "00000000000000000000000000000001.

    CPUID.80000001.EDX = "00101000000100000000100000000000".

    cpuid.d.EAX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    cpuid.d.ECX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    cpuid.d.EDX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    Note that the bits of the message complains (2, 3, 14, 15) * are * in fact forced to '1' in our mask of cpuid.1.ecx. That means (if I understand correctly), ESXi does not have the virtual machine unless the host processor supports the feature. And in our case, the virtual machine will start with happiness on nodes, with both versions. It will be not simply migrate between them.

    So, long story short, is this a bug of ESXi? The error message is misleading? I understand something?

    Thank you


    Matt

    To use the masks feature VM in this way, you must replace all the 1 to your masks with-'s:

    CPUID.1.EAX = "00000000000000-000000 - 00-0 - 000-

    CPUID.1.ECX = "000000-0-00--000---000-000---".

    CPUID.1.EDX = '-000 - 0-0 - 0-

    CPUID.80000001.ECX = "0000000000000000000000000000000 -"

    CPUID.80000001.EDX = "00-0-000000-00000000-00000000000.

    cpuid.d.EAX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    cpuid.d.ECX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    cpuid.d.EDX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    Zeros erases the features that are not available on your hosts Westmere, and dashes will leave the other one features.  The problem with those masks was forced to you certain features on who would have normally been off.

  • Cannot add host ESXi 5.5 to vCenter for a routed network - cannot communicate with the specified host

    I was wondering if anyone has come across this problem before, who could give advice how to fix them:

    Host of pre-production UCS ESXi migration of a Production vCenter on another network (routing in place)

    Can ping both directions successfully - from vCenter Prod to the host of the pre-production

    no firewall between the two.

    902 port is open on the host

    Host connects to the pre-production vCenter on the subnet even fine

    VCenter production can add different hosts on the same network end

    Even with the various guests of ESXi UCS.

    ESXi host was completely disconnected and removed from vCenter inherited before attempting to add. No dvswitch physical or virtual.

    Then try and add, enter the user name and password and get cannot communicate with the specified host.

    Thank you

    The solution to this. Used ESX host 5.5 3B (3248547) update that disables SSLv3. (Ref: VMware ESXi 5.5 updated Notes version 3B) one of the consequences of this is that older versions of vCenter (such as trying to move the host) can not add/connect host.

    Enable SSLv3 to spend (port 443) on the resolved host (virtuallyPeculiar: connection A ESXi 5.5 U3b host to vCenter with a lower Version A.)

    Note: should not enable SSLv3 to Port 902.
