• Is it possible to migrate ESXi host between data centers, if so please provide a brief not

  Hi friends,

  1. is it possible to migrate ESXi host between data centers, if so please provide a brief walking distance.

  2 can we perform vMotion and Storage vMotion while ESXi is turned on.

  3. is it possible to extend the VMDK disk while it integrates snapshots in it.

  Best regards,

  Sirot Vijay

  Yes the vmotion and svmotion works but one by one.

  1 - vmotion is posssible to power on State, but you can't svmotion the vm simultaneously. The storage will remain same

  2 svmotion is also possible to power on the State, but you cannot vmotion virtual machine simultaneously. the host will remain the same.

  3 vmotion and svmotion is possible together when the vm is off power. the host and storage can be changed simultaneously on this State.

• Hot migration is possible with VMWare ESXi 5.1.0 without an ESX server management

  Hot migration is possible with VMWare ESXi 5.1.0 without an ESX server management?
  I wonder for a future issue, a scenario where a system administrator must build a Win2008 + DC on local storage, server
  then, once the physical box is integrated into the class network, the physical box is connected to the classified SAN storage.
  Is it possible to hot - migrate the server Win2008 + CC local storage to SAN storage at this time, with only the
  free version of VMWare ESXi 5.1.0?

  Welcome to the community - I guess that you are looking to do this, while the virtual machine is currently running - this is not possible without a management server, also called vCenetr, but all is not lost because you would be able spend the VM local storage to the San with the VM posered using the client storage management features

• Is it possible to mix ESXI 4.1 and 4.1 U2 in a cluster DRS/HA

  Is it possible to mix ESXI 4.1 and 4.1 U2 in a cluster DRS/HA, with Vcenter 4.1

  I've seen http://communities.vmware.com/thread/327392 and ttp://partnerweb.vmware.com/comp_guide/sim/interop_matrix.php wire

  The attachment shows the results of the matrix, which suggests that you can.

  Yes it is and it is supported, the main problems is the type of CPU Family a reason to separate clusters not vSphere editions

• Is it possible to install ESXi 3.5 on mirrored disks?

  Hello

  Is it possible to install ESXi 3.5 on mirrored disks?  I have a DL320 server with 2 hard drives and I would like to install it on the mirrored pair, but I am only able to select the drive or the other during the installation.

  Thank you.

  Tim

  I'm fairly certain that this area has a RAID controller supported - so you have to choose a disk to install on...

• Possible to downgrade ESXi license?

  If having already installed a certain license to an ESXi host, is it possible to change this license at a lower license type?

  (I know that a lot of things could go wrong if at all by using the features that can be deleted with the lower license, but I wonder if it's possible).

  If you try to apply the license key 'lower' with features enabled that are not covered by this license, you receive an error message, and the license will not apply. I saw a few times with the licenses of Essentials where someone tried to vMotion in Eval mode and the VMkernel ports had not been removed before applying the license key.

• Intel® PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server adapt (PCI Express) with ESX/ESXi 4?

  Hello

  I try to work to the next with VMWare ESXi 4 card worsk.

  The card is the

  Intel® PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server adapt (PCI Express)

  Who uses the: Intel® Gigabit controller 82571 GB

  However, in the VMWare HCL, he mentions the Intel 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet controller

  These are two elements compatibile, if VMware ESXi will work with this card?

  I am hoping that someone out there has tried it can give me an idea.

  Thank you

  Ward.

  Virtually all Intel devices are supported...

• Possible issues install ESXi on a M3 B22 5.0.0

  I started from the disk of esx and installing the software. He asked for the root password and when he goes to the system Scan I get this error

  I checked the compatibility matrix and I should be able to do this in a host of exsi 5.0.0 it was seen that?

  I don't know if I read the complete wrong... or what.

  Any help would be great.

• Is it possible to virtualize ESXi 4 with less than 2 GB of RAM?

  I would like to install ESXi 4 in a VM using VMware Fusion, so that I can do some testing with the busybox, etc. instead of playing with my production host. I'm NOT interested in VMs in the ESXi virtual I want to only run the hypervisor.

  The problem I have is that my MacBook Pro has only 2 GB and when I tried to create a virtual machine with 1 GB, ESXi will not settle. Is there a way to circumvent this requirement of RAM?

  Thank you

• Install ESXi on HP DL 580 G9 possible U3 5.1?

  Hello guys ~

  I am about to install VMware ESXi 5.1 U3 on HP DL 580 G9.
  

  
  

  I heard that there is HP custumizing esxi disk image controller driver may not configured in ESXi 5.1 with DL 580 G9.

  When installation is complete, local volume is not visible.

  Is it possible install VMware ESXi 5.1 U3 on HP DL 580 G9? (or is there another way to install it?)

  This server is compatible with:

  Hewlett Packard Enterprise

  ProLiant DL580 Gen9

  Intel Xeon E7-8800/4800-v3

  ESXi 6.0 U2 6.0 U1 6.0 5.5 U3 5.5 U2

  Then maybe works with 5.1U3 or not, you will need to try, but it will not be supported.

• Standard (non-express) - card PCI Passthrough/VMDirectPath broken in ESXi 5.5?

  Hello

  I use VMDirectPath/PCI passthrough with 2 cards in an ESXi 5 host environment:

  -The first card is a standard-PCI (not express), a "AVM B1 ISDN-Controller.

  -The second is a card PCIe, a "Renesas USB 3.0 controller"

  The two cards passthrough'ed work correctly with ESXi 5.0 for a long time...

  After an upgrade to ESXi 5.5, the relay of the card to the PCI standard is no longer in effect:

  -Two cards are listed very well as passthrough devices ' ed in the vSphere client

  -Two cards are configured with "msiEnabled = FALSE" in the virtual machine, no error occur at power to the top of the virtual machine

  -Two cards are listed without errors in the Device Manager of Windows Server 2003 in the VM - no exclamation point appears

  -L'USB 3.0 controller works fine, devices are recognized and are accessible

  - But, the driver for the PCI ISDN card indicates an error in the Event Viewer system log in the Windows virtual machine: "the card can not be found" and the map does not work

  After re - install of the 'old' ESXi 5.0 and restore a backup of the configuration, all works fine again.

  A ' cat vmware.log | grep-i CPPI"VM file log shows no relevant difference regarding PCI passthrough between ESXi 5.0 and 5.5.

  No idea what changed in ESXi 5.5 compared to 5.0 in PCI card passthrough/VMDirectPath ESXi?

  Thank you

  The card works fine now with the recent update ESXi 5.5 2!

• Extract the files of newspapers of esxi when host froze

  Hello

  I am running

  a hobby esxi server. My problem is that, on rare occasions (every 20 days or more)

  my server esxi host inexplicably hangs / freeze, making it very difficult to

  examine the cause. Keyboard LED still responds, but the esxi software is

  frozen.  I need to be able to see the

  the logs after a freeze like this, but resets esxi / loses those logs on

  reset.  Is it possible to make esxi

  Save the data that you see when you go to the view of "ALT + F12" local hard

  by car (or all newspapers on the local hard drive)?

  Syslog is

  is not an option for me since the only machine running 24/7 here the server

  which freezes.

  Thank you!

  You can configure the advanced layout SysLog.Local.Datastorepath is a point for a data store and ESXi will store a copy of the var in this location.  For a new installation by default ESXi 4.1 this parameter to/scratch/log/messages if you using ESXi Installable and the installation disk was 5 GB or more.  For previous versions ESXi or Embedded, you must manually set the variable.

• ESXi on SATA drives

  Is it possible to run ESXi on a Dell PowerEdge T300 server with SATA drives and a single dual-core processor? When I try to install installation encounters an unrecoverable error: no supported device not found to install the VMWare ESXi 3.5.0 image. "Is it because I don't have SCSI drives?

  It is more likely the driver specific ESXi is loading for the controller.  Take a look at the last link, and if you still have questions could you post the model and the id for the storage controller PCI?  For controllers of type ICH ESXi does not support RAID arrays just in case this is your configuration.

• ESXi on NX1950

  Hello

  Is it possible to install ESXi on a NX1950 5.5? I think the drivers...

  And 8GB is really the maximum on this server?

  ESXi 5.5 will all the native drivers needed for a server of that old man.

  The 8 GB was probably the maximum that Dell sold this unit, but as it's basically a PowerEdge 1950 server, it can support much more memory.

  The problem is that it uses fully in the buffer memory DDR2, which tends to be quite expensive (compared to registered DDR3 memory using most modern servers) unless you buy second hand on Ebay it or not.

• Emulator of the UCS and Fibre Channel (PCI Passthrough)

  Hello

  I would like to know if anyone of you knows if emulator UCS supports CF communications and how to configure them.

  I have 2 PCI Fibre Channel interfaces on the host Hardware and I applied PCI Passthrough on the ESXi hypervisor. It works with other virtual machines.

  Thank you very much

  No, unfortunately not.
