• Change the IP address of the Service Console

  Hi, when I try to change the IP address and the address of the gateway to the Service Console NIC on the console, I always get this message:

  !!! WARNING!

  Loss of connectivity network may occur if the parameters not valid in

  Add, remove, Portgroup or IP operations.

  and nothing is changed. How is it possible to change the IP address of vswif?

  I try with the command "esxcfg-vswif!

  Thank you

  Hello

  There are two ways of CLI to chang the IP address of the service console.

  Either remove the current vswif0 and recreate it using esxcfg-swif.

  But as you must change the ip address of the service console, you can try e under method, change the entries in the file.

  for the ip address and the mask of the service console, you can change the entries in the file below.

  / etc/sysconfig/network-scipts/ifcfg-vswif0

  and for the gateway, host name using the file below

  sysconfig

  for the dns entries

  /etc/resolv.conf

  After all the changes, try to network service.

  service network restart

  Let me know if you need more information.

• Essbase Cluster node not get is expanding in the Regional service console

  Dear all,

  We use version Hyperion 11.1.2.1. I faced a new problem in Regional service console. The Essbase Cluster-1 node in the service console Regional expanding not when I tied to drilled her. For this reason, I am unable to view the applications, calculation scripts, etc. We need to run calc scripts and to add new members in the application.  Any body experienced this before? Kindly guide me to solve this problem issue.

  Thank you

  SC

  If you use the web console EAS, then make sure you are using a supported Java version, if it is supported, and then try adding the server essbase with the hostname instead of cluster.

• Command not found in the service console ESX 4.0 u2

  Hi all

  I have a very simple question.

  I have haven´t access to the service console ESX 4.0 for some time and today I need run commands to verify information on some host bus adapters.

  I logged a user then used 'su root' to switch to the ROOT user.

  I use Putty to connect to the Service Console.

  But when I try to execute the following commands it said "Command Not Found":

  vmkload_mod

  esxcfg-module

  I read VMware KBs, that say to use these commands for this version of ESX, but I can´t do run.

  I think the answer is something very simple, but I can´t find it.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Thank you

  Mark

  Try this command:

• How to access the ESX service console

  Hi all.

  I'm a TV engineer trying to solve a problem of network with our equipment. I'm not a network engineer.

  I'm trying to follow the VMWareKB: "Troubleshooting connection problems network using the Protocol ARP (Address Resolution)" I'm just trying to check the ARP table exists on our ESX Server and has some entries.

  KB said running 'arp - a' for a list of the ARP table.

  To do this, I need to open a service console. I have now read articles 3 or 4 on the use of the Service Console but I am still unable to open it to run the command. I do not understand what I am doing wrong, I am incredibly stupid or miss me something completely.

  An article said, press 'Alt F1"exactly where I am doing this? A virtual machine is connected to the ESX? An article said "to VIM summary screen' I tried logging on the virtual machine and point a web browser on the server, I get a screen of welcome of ESX with link"Connecting to Web Access", when I click on it I get"Internet Explorer Can t Open The Web page.

  I had a look at VIM, I can see the details of the Vswitch network on the configuration page, including the IP address of the console service. Can't see how to open a service console. VIM of pointing at the address for service console is unable to do anything.

  I just need to know how to open the Service console and check the tables of ARP based on the KB.

  Please dumb down of your responses to me!

  The fundamental problem is about some units of electric distribution that we use to power the equipment in the racks. They have a network connection which we track using Virtual Machines to the report of a third person of monitoring and control software. The virtual machines are running alarm software driver used to report to the third party. The virtual machine is on a blade server.

  We have a problem where a unit of the IML has been replaced but configured with incorrect default gateway address. In the hours to do so, the monitoring and control software lost connection to ILM and one by one, all units of the IML began to send the ARP requests - "who has 10.172.248.254'.

  Finally, the MDU constantly send ARP requests and the MDU have lost connectivity to the virtual computer. If we open the VM machine, follow up and a MUD, the ping command ping fails, if we put a laptop in place an ILM and ping the machine VM, the ping works fine.

  If power us off/on the ILM voltage they are good, but we are a 24/7 operation and power cycling the MDU is considered risky.

  We have had this problem before and the only solution was to rebuild the virtual machine and assign all MDU to a new network address.

  All switches ILM is connected (foundry Falstron GS) have been verified by the support of our network guys and we are told are all good. The blade server hosts about 20 VM and they work just fine from other systems SNMP traffic monitoring.

  If anyone has any ideas I'm all ears.

  Hello

  As stated, the console is the administration interface that you can use directly on the hardware. It is not a VM (as such) that connect you with the standard management GUI. You can SSH in the network or you can be "physically connected" as you say (I would use HP SIM or the ILO to connect directly to the blade). Once you have that screen upward, press 'Alt + F1' and you connect. Then you should be able to follow the KB to check the ARP table.

• Overview of the data in the service Console Regional on the client machine generates an error.

  When I saw the data in the Regional (version 11.1.1.4) service console on a client workstation, I get a "cannot sign in the field. "Error of initialization of the ORB.java.io.FileNotFoundException: domain.db (access is denied)" error. Now, if I use the client URL to Admin Console on the same computer am able to preview the data correctly. Also when I saw the data on the client installed on the server can't correctly preview data. Just when I use the Admin console client installed on a workstation, I get this error. Any suggestions?

  TimG says:
  I certainly say it is your problem (I don't even know how to see / control when installing local vs. web-Launcher finds Java, or if indeed there is a difference) but I think it's plausible enough to a test value

  In 11.1.1.3 the Regional (not the web version) service console will resume java installed on the machine, if Java has not been installed it will use the settings in the admincon.lax file for example lax.nl.current.vm=E:\Hyperion\common\JRE\Sun\1.5.0\bin\java.exe
  So basically if you have installed Java 1.6 it will pick up and use that otherwise it will use the default JRE INSTALLED with Hyperion. The web console needs a version of Java installed in order to use Java Web Start.
  And I agree to have a different version of Java that sustained can cause problems using the Regional service console.

• Adding an IP to the service console more

  Hi team,

  We have a race ESX 4 and the service console has already been configured with an IP address, I would like to add an IP more (another beach) so this service console must be accessible by both intellectual property.

  Now my console IP service is 172.18.111.155 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, GW - 172.18.111.1

  Now, I need to add another IP 172.18.105.45 Beach IE with a subnet mask of 255.255.254.0. GW - 172.18.104.1

  Could you please let me know if possible, if so how can be done.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Next, you create just a new vSwitch with your 2nd service console using the dedicated bear. Marking will be on the side of the physical switch.

  If this host is in a HA Cluster, you may receive warnings about redundancy.

  Seeing that it is your 2nd service console, you can remove these messages. Watch http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1004700

• separate the vlan for the service console and vkernel

  Hi all

  I need to restructure my environment uat and dev, keeping both under vcenter even. I run the machine with 4 NICs (currently using 2 each for sc + vk & vm port with eather channel gp). The reason behind this is that we have stored separately (using nfs) in uat and dev segment to be used by the servers (virtual and physical) in the respective segment. I'll take 2 clusters as uat and dev. wanted to help the same regardeing

  • wanted to know if I can get my service console and vmkernel running on VLANs separate as shown below
    • UAT cluster
      • SC - 10.10.11.x
      • VK - 10.10.12.x
    • dev cluster
      • SC - 10.10.11.x
      • VK - 10.10.50.x

  kindly let me know for further information on above, any other suggestion on above will be useful

  Yes your SC and VMkernel networks running on different VLANS will work - it is a best practice.

• VMkernel and Service Console in the same vSwitch?

  Hello

  Be aware that this may have been covered elsewhere (and I should be grateful if you would be redirected to the correct answer), but I need clarification on the installer to our servers ESX 4.1. I have a switch virtual vswitch1 with webcam live and test port groups running through a NIC 4 etherchannel trunk to a Cisco switch stack with load balancing of the IP Hash for our virtual machines (works fine).

  Due to limited network adapters, I wanted to know if I could have the VMKernel (vmotion) and the Service Console on the same virtual switch (vSwitch0) but separated by VLAN ID in 2 groups of ports, run through an another etherchannel to our Cisco switches (mounting similar to vswitch1 etherchannel trunk). Are these two functions OK on the same vSwitch?

  I say with this configuration, we will have redundancy with 2 network cards in vswitch0 and traffic will be isolated between the SC and vmotion with VLAN. Im not sure if best practices should have the VMkernel SC on separate vSwitches, or even if the VMkernel and HC would work even as a separate Exchange with an ID vswitch1 VLANS separated to release 2 network cards.

  As a result, I read elsewhere, that a default installation with a switch distributed (that we want to use in the near future) would use a dvSwitch for VMs and a vSwitch for SC and functions VMKernel, separating them, so at this point would be a good idea.

  Any advice would be welcome.

  Thank you

  John

  When I have 2 NICs for network management and vMotion, I use usually 1 vSwitch for them. I configure ports of physical switch as connection ports (no etherchannel), set the VLAN ID on port groups and configure groups of two ports for active / standby. For example, the management network has active vmnic0, Eve and vMotion active vmnic1 vmnic0 a vmnic1, as yesterday. In this way each "service" uses its dedicated uplink unless there is a failure.

  BTW, you should consider installing instead of ESX ESXi, ESX 4.1 is the latest version of ESX. ESXi will only be available in the future and transition from ESX to ESXi requires a fresh install of the hosts.

• Installation Partition problem (allocated too expensive for the Service Console?)

  Installation Partition problem (allocated too expensive for the Service Console?)

  RAID1 (15K 146 GB SAS) on Dell R710 and VMFS is on table EQL.

  What I did during the ESX4.1 excavation, it's that I have used ALL the space in 146 GB (mainly for / and / var), after adding this ESX host to vCenter, VC and EQL ASM/VE started to complain about the following points:

  1 VC: health check of localstorage warning (only has 245 MB left on 146SAS localstorage)

  2 EQL ASM/VE: warning rootFolder folder (due to the above)

  I thought that he is authorized to use all the space for / (50 GB) and / var (50 GB) in my case for only 146 GB, I don't think I need to leave any space on the installation disc.

  Could someone share some lights here?

  Thank you

  As you can see SDS use all the SDC VMFS partition space.

  This create the alarm.

  The thing really confused me why I have to leave a space on the disk at all?

  Technically there is no reason to let the space... but also no reason to have a big service console

  Usually, you need 10 to 20% free space for each snapshot data store and Exchange files... but in your case, you will not have these files.

  If you have any problems, but you receive the alarm until you do not disable them on this specific data store.

  PS: I suggest you switch to ESXi, is quite simple and it doesn't have this strange vmdk for the "console".

• Identify the process of the virtual machine in the Service Console

  Maybe it's a little challenging, but I need to "hang" a VM intentionally for purposes of Compliance\Qualification.  I'm trying to understand the best way to do this and my colleague suggested to connect to the service console, identify the process virtual machine running and terminate, so suspend the virtual machine.  The problem is, I'm not sure how to proceed.  Could someone point me to the light?

  Thank you very much.

  Steve

  You must know the name of the vmx file (usually it is the first name of the virtual machine).

  Then, connect SSH (or console) to your ESX and run the following command

  PS auxfww | grep 'VMXname '.

  At this point, you can locate the correct PID of the virtual machine. The first number to appear in the output is your PID.

  The PID can be used to complete the process by issuing the command kill-9 PID.

• public network for virtual machines, private storage and the service console?

  Hello

  So far I had a pretty small facility with 2 servers with 4 physical network adapters each running ESX 3.5, a small box of EqualLogic SAN to shared storage and a few virtual machines on our network of regular reinforcement, routed, not on a private.   The network config was really simple.  I just put everything on real IP addresses on our network of building.

  Now I want to move the SAN and the traffic on a private service console network, but I don't know how to do this.

  Right now I use 2 NETWORK cards on each server:

  vmnic0 is configured on vSwitch0 and has the network of the VM on it that all my use of VMS to talk to the outside world, and it also has the Service Console that uses Virtual Center and I use ssh to it.

  vmnic1 is configured on vSwitch1 and a VMKernel Port and also a Service Console Port for iSCSI Software to talk to my SAN.  (never been clear on why both are needed to talk to the SAN, but doctors say they are)

  My plan is to set up a vSwitch2 and bind it to vmnic2 and implemented a VMKernel Port and the Service Console Port for software iSCSI on the 10.x.x.x network, set up my new (larger) SAN box on the 10.x.x.x network and simply use Storage vMotion to move virtual machines to the new storage space.  As soon as I did this, I would like to not use the Service Console on vSwitch2 and not a Console Service at all on vSwitch0.  Is it possible to delete the one on vSwitch0 and just use a new vSwitch2 for Virtual Center and ssh access?

  So my proposed configuration would be:

  vSwitch0: VM network only, used by the VM guests for oriented public access network, no construction of Network Service Console, linked to vmnic0

  vSwitch1: superfluous once I do storage vMotion of everything on my old SAN, will eventually remove and pair vmnic 1 with vmnic0, linked to vmnic1

  vSwitch2: VMKernel and Service Console on the network 10.x.x.x, used to access the new SAN, used by Virtual Center to access the ESX, used to SSH in to ESX on private network, associated vmnic2

  If it works?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  VMkernel ports cannot live on the same subnet. So if you have 3 vmkernel ports say: vMotion, iSCSI and NFS. You really need 3 subnets. 1 for each vmkernel port.

  Otherwise how does he know all send properly?
