• Could not detect my DPS and hdd with Esxi 6.0

  Hello forum,.

  I bought a relatively new desktop for my studies of cisco computer. I am completely new to exsi and took notes on the net to install esxi.

  In "Select a disk to install or upgrade", I am unable to see the two hard drives.

  I have,

  CPU Intel I7 - 4790K, motherboard Asus Z97 - has

  240GB Kingston SSD

  Toshiba 1 TB HARD drive

  I tried to format the two hard drive using windows 7 and tried to install Esxi 6, but the two remains undetected.

  I tried 5.5 as well but the result is the same.

  Help, please.

  Thank you.

  ESXi is built for server hardware, he may simply not support your disk controller. Since it is a lab environment, you can check if VMware experience before: how to make your unsupported work SATA AHCI Controller with ESXi 5.5 and 6.0 helps build a custom installation image that runs on your hardware.

• High latency LDAP with ESXi 6

  We have Gen9 HP with Emulex 10 GB (driver v10.5.121.7) runs the last 6.0 ESXi and high latency experience above 50ms to 1.5 seconds with LDAP queries between continuous Windows or VM to DC.   However, to move the domain controller to an ESXi 5.5/6.0 with the latency of the network 1 Gb is down to below 50ms.  If you ping just two servers, ping response is < 1ms.

  Anyone else having this problem? It seems to happen with ESXi 6.0 with 10 GB Networki.   ESXi 5,5 of 10 GB seems to work very well.

  > 50ms up to 1.8 seconds at the time of the request

  ESXi6 DC VM to ESXi DC VM on the same host, 10 Gb DSwitch

  ESXi6 DC VM to ESXi DC VMS on different host, 10 Gb DSwitch

• Having problems with ESXi/vSphere Client Network

  First of all, I apologize if it's thread is in the wrong section.

  I recently installed ESXi v6.0.0 in VMware Workstation 12.0 trying to familiarize myself with ESXi as I recently graduated and I forgot most of what I learned from the class I took.

  Then, ESXi installed smoothly and was very painless.

  Then, I tried to create a virtual machine. It's when things are messy. I can't understand why, but I don't get any network connectivity after obtaining a DHCP address to all within the virtual machine, in addition to being able to ping the host ESXi itself.

  First of all, networking is like so:

  10.10.10.1 router/gateway

  10.10.10.254 DHCP, DNS, server, VMware Workstation files 12

  10.10.10.250 ESXi host

  10.10.10.244 ESXi reviews - Windows 7

  Googles DNS 8.8.8.8

  VMware workstation 12:

  AMD FX-8350

  Intel Corporation 82574L Gigabit Network Connection

  NVIDIA Corporation GF119 [GeForce GT 520] (rev a1) - However, not allowed to work with VMware VMware or xvnc throws a fit to this topic

  ESXi host

  Images: 2015-10-04_21-13 - 57.png, 2015-10-04_21-14 - 34.png

  The vSwitch has the following properties:

  Image: 2015-10-04_21-19 - 38.png

  
  

  And the following then occurs on the ESXi prompt:

  Images:,2015-10-04_21-01 - 58.png, 2015-10-04_21-03 - 32.png

  
  

  I can't really understand what the problem is, or what is happening. Yes, I could set up an internal network of the virtual machine with a firewall and what not, but I was hoping that there would already network connectivity while I wouldn't do. Also, is it possible to make attachments online?

  
  

  Thanks for all their help
  

  This could be a problem of permission on the host vmnet adapter, see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/287.

• Can I use 6 Converter Standalone with ESXi 5.5?

  Hello

  We are running ESXi 5.5 and wishes to conduct P2V.

  Just would like to ask you if we can use "Standalone Converter 6" or we should use "Standalone converter 5.x?

  Thank you

• Storage vMotion possible with ESXi Std Edt or not?

  Hi all

  We have two implementations of VMware with ESXi Standard edition licenses installed on the two site. A site has vCenter Server Foundation edition while the other has vCenter Server Standard Edition.

  The problem is that the site with vCenter Std and vSphere 5 Std doenst allow storage vMotion (see image below)

  

  While, on the other hand, site 5 Stnd vSphere with vCenter Foundation allows storage Vmotion (see image below)

  

  How is it so that vSphere Stndard this edtion of different characteristics in different places?

  I had recorded the call and found the solution... VSphere 5.0 and 5.1 gives really different set of features with the same Std license vSphere.   Take a look at the link for options available with vSphere 5.0 and 51 below.

  1 compare vSphere 5.0 editions

  Compare the editions of vSphere VMware for Cloud Computing, server and data center virtualization

  VSphere editions 2 - compare 5.1

  Compare VMware vSphere editions: managed Virtualization & amp; Cloud Computing

  For a test, I used the same Standard edition server with 5.1 key to it has worked well with Storage vMotion Option available :-)

• HP DL360 G6 "Noncompliant" with ESXi 5.1

  Hello

  I have two DL360 G6 running with ESXi 5.0U1 and I wanted to upgrade to 5.1.

  I downloaded die ESXi HP - 5.1.0 - standard-iso and added to the Update Manager, but when I check for an upgrade, I get the error that the servers are "Non-compliant".

  The DL360 G6 VMware Compatibility Guide must be supported for ESXi 5.1.

  Is it possible to know why it is Non-compliant?

  If I'm not mistaken, UM produce generally / alert error "Non-compliant" If ONLY your hosts (ESXi 5.0) do not correspond with your intended base line (5.1 ESXi) when you attach it to the guests. However, once you patch the host with this baseline, it should change to consistent.

  'Inconsistent' should be of concern.

• What happens with ESXi vMA logs is not available?

  I'm under vMA 4.1 and it set up as a server syslog for my ESXi 4.1 hosts.

  Anyone know what is happening with ESXi logs when the vMA is not available? For example during a restart of the vMA.

  Hello.

  Newspapers would continue to be logged locally, while the VMAs was not available.  Make sure that you also set up the Syslog.Local.DatastorePath, so that you don't lose anything.  See KB 1033696 for more information.

  Good luck!

• DL120 G6 Proliant Smart Array RAID with ESXi (free)

  Hello

  We have ESXi running on a DL120 G6 with 8 GB of RAM, installed via the website of VMWare Go.

  The server has 4 disks configured in the BIOS of the server for RAID 1 (2 and 2 mirrors).

  How can I tell the server to use the RAID configuration as at the moment we seem to use only a single disc of 4.  Currently, I am able to add one of the spare disks 3 as independent data stores.

  Is there a BIOS setting that I need to configure to enable ESXi to use RAID?

  Thank you

  Daren

  The default RAID controller DL120 G6 is a Smart Array B110i, who is not a hardware RAID controller supported (see http://www.vmware.com/go/hcl for the supported RAID controllers) you will be able to use this controller with ESXi RAID functionality.

• maximum of vCPU with ESXi

  Hello.

  We have an application on redhat with hight cpu utilization.

  For now, we use the server with 4 QuadCore CPU, then 16 core.

  We believe the use of virtualization for this application.

  I see the standard ESXi license has limitation of 4vCPU...

  Can I make a virtual machine with 16 vCPU with ESXi or vmware product?

  There's a special permit for this?

  Scalability is good? Or it is better not to use vmware for this use?

  Xavier has ++

  Xavier-

  8 - way SMP is currently the maximum supported by ESX and which will require the product under license (i.e. not 'free' license). There are speculations that this number will 8-way beyone in the next version, but there is no guarantee. Typical applications of virtualization are scale-out, not measure - upward for this reason. However, you can assign only 8 lanes practically in several ways:

  1 x 8-core vCPU

  2 x 4 vCPU strands

  4 x vCPU 2 strands

  8 x 1-core vCPU

  Use the advanced cpuid.coresPerSocket setting to configure. I have more details about it in my blog:

• Reload via Web Services with ESXi?

  Is it possible to restart a virtual machine running on ESXi using Web Services?  I tried the sample code provided with the SDK, but I get an error. RestrictedVersion.summary. ideas?

  Thank you

  ARIN

  PS. I also tried the scrip poweroff_suspend_vm.pl with the same results.

  To use the API or remote CLIs with ESXi, you must have a paid license. If you use the free version of ESXi, you will not be able to take advantage of the APIs or CLIs
