Problem connecting vSphere client to a host ESX or ESXi to

• vSphere client using the name Netbios on ESXi host does not connect using the credentials of a Windows session

  I have 3 ESXi 5.5 hosts, all connected to a single server vCenter, where we try to authenticate directly to the host by using the windows logon credentials. I have installation of the Administrators group of ESX and filled with the admin accounts that I want to be able to authenticate to the host. The Netbios name of the domain is tstdomain (for example) where the domain name is tstdomain.com. If I connect directly to a host and check the checkbox 'Use Windows Session Credentials', the vSphere client will default by using the Netbios name of tstdomain\adminusername and the connection will fail indicating that the username and/or password is incorrect. If I enter the domain name of tstdomain.com\adminusername, I am able to connect to the host without error.

  Does anyone know how get past that this matter have the vSphere client uses the domain name or to use the Netbios name and connect with the credentials to active directory? I looked by editing the file/etc/hosts and checked that the SPN of the host is correct in active directory with the command hostname setspn - l, with no luck on one. I also tried to change the field of research for the Netbios name of tstdomain rather than the tstdomain.com domain name, also did not work.

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions on how to correct the problem.

  Seems that this issue was due to a slow network and the connection timeout when you try to talk to the domain controller. I am able to connect with windows creds now, but the connection is very slow. I increased the default period of 30 to 60 seconds to help work around the problem.

• vSphere Client Ip address/host name

  Hello, newbie here.  I downloaded the vSphere client and in the process of setting up it request a host name or IP address in order to directly manage a single host.  I have no idea what hostname or IP address is it refers to.

  Thanks to all those who will respond to this newbie question.

  Yes, your esxi install on any of your virtual machine in your VMware Workstation during installation, you will get the details to specify a static ip address and once installed, when you want to manage this esxi in your vsphere client, that you must use the same username ROOT and password defined during installation and the IP address to connect through your vsphere client.

  Please mark this as correct/useful if that answers your query.

• The IP of the host ESX and ESXi console information

  Hi guys,.

  I have a little problem here, we have a script that collects the host Console IP, host name, field info... etc.

  My problem is with the period of INVESTIGATION, because we have a mixed environment of esx3.5, esx4.0, esx4.1 and ESXi4 get the IP of the Console is a bit of a problem.

  If I use the

  $NicInfo = get-VMHostNetwork - VMHost $esxhost. Name
  $newesxhost. VmHostName = $NicInfo.HostName
  $newesxhost. Domain = $NicInfo.DomainName
  {foreach ($cs in $NicInfo.ConsoleNic)}
  $newesxhost. IPAddress = [string] $cs. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
  }

  I covers the ESX Console hosts IP info, but all the info of ESXi IP gets missed.

  If I add to the:

  $NicInfo = get-VMHostNetwork - VMHost $esxhost. Name
  $newesxhost. VmHostName = $NicInfo.HostName
  $newesxhost. Domain = $NicInfo.DomainName
  foreach ($cs in $NicInfo. ) VirtualNic | where {$_.name - eq "vmk0"}){}
  $newesxhost. IPAddress = [string] $cs. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
  }

  I get the ESXi IP Management IP network, but the ESX hosts to report the vmk0 which is the IP address of vmotion.

  So if anyone can help I'd be very happy.

  Include the HOST party so that you can see what I mean:

  #[int] $Loopctr = 0
  $newesxhost = (@($xml.) (ESXInventory.HOST) [0])
  $newVMPortGroup = (@($xml.) (ESXInventory.VMPortGroup) [0])

  Get-VMHost-location (Get-Cluster-name $cluster. Name) | Sort-Object-unique | % {
  $esxhost = get-view $_.ID
  Write-Host $esxhost. Name
  #if ($Loopctr - gt 0) {$newesxhost = $newesxhost.clone ()}
  $newesxhost = $newesxhost.clone)
  $newesxhost. MemberOfCluster = $cluster. Name
  $newesxhost. Name of the vendor = $esxhost. Summary.Hardware.Vendor
  $newesxhost. Model = $esxhost. Summary.Hardware.Model
  $newesxhost.os_version = [string] $esxhost. Config.Product.Version
  $newesxhost.os_build = [string] $esxhost. Config.Product.Build
  $newesxhost.os_caption = [string] $esxhost. Config.Product.FullName
  $newesxhost. MemorySize = [string] $esxhost. Summary.Hardware.MemorySize
  $newesxhost. CpuModel = $esxhost. Summary.Hardware.CpuModel
  $newesxhost. CpuMhz = [string] $esxhost. Summary.Hardware.CpuMhz
  $newesxhost. NumCpuPkgs = [string] $esxhost. Summary.Hardware.NumCpuPkgs
  $newesxhost. NumCpuCores = [string] $esxhost. Summary.Hardware.NumCpuCores
  $newesxhost. NumCpuThreads = [string] $esxhost. Summary.Hardware.NumCpuThreads
  $newesxhost. NumNics = [string] $esxhost. Summary.Hardware.NumNics
  $newesxhost. NumHBAs = [string] $esxhost. Summary.Hardware.NumHBAs

  $NicInfo = get-VMHostNetwork - VMHost $esxhost. Name
  $newesxhost. VmHostName = $NicInfo.HostName
  $newesxhost. Domain = $NicInfo.DomainName
  foreach ($cs in $NicInfo.VirtualNic | where {$_.name - eq "vmk0"}) {}
  $newesxhost. IPAddress = [string] $cs. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
  }

  $VMPortGroup = get-VirtualPortGroup - VMHost $esxhost. Name
  
  {foreach ($vpg to $VMPortGroup)
  Write-Host $vpg. Name
  $newVMPortGroup = $newVMPortGroup.clone)
  $newVMPortGroup.Name = $vpg. Name
  $xml. ESXInventory.AppendChild ($newVMPortGroup) > $null
  }

  $xml. ESXInventory.AppendChild ($newesxhost) > $null
  #$Loopctr += 1

  /regards

  Why you do not include a test that check if the host's ESX or ESXi?

  Something like that

  $esx = Get-VMHost MyESX
  
  $NicInfo = Get-VMHostNetwork -VMHost $esx 
  
  $newesxhost.VmHostName = $NicInfo.HostName$newesxhost.Domain = $NicInfo.DomainName
  
  if($esx.Extensiondata.Config.Product.ProductLineId -eq "esx"){    foreach ($cs in $NicInfo.ConsoleNic ){        $newesxhost.IPAddress = [string] $cs.IP    }}else{    foreach ($cs in $NicInfo.VirtualNic |where {$_.name -eq "vmk0"} ){        $newesxhost.IPAddress = [string] $cs.IP    }}
  
  $newesxhost
  

• From 3 host ESX to ESXi

  I have 3 ESX hosts and vcenter 1 host (running in a VM).  My plan for the upgrade to ESXi is to:

  1. the active 4 vm Vmotion and vcenter for an ESX host.

  2. install ESXi host with no VM

  3. Add the new vCenter Cluster ESXi host (so now the cluster would be 2 ESX and ESXi 1)

  4 repeat the steps above until all of the hosts are the ESXi

  The guys you see no problem with that?

  Can I mix and match ESX and ESXi in the same cluster?

  Can I vMotion between ESX and ESXi?

  Thank you guys!

  You can do a VMotion between ESX and ESXi (and vice versa) as long as all of the hosts are all the amendments or Intels processors only. In addition, each host must be able to have access to the shared too much storage.

  Finally if you cpu are too much difference, you need to enable Enhanced vMotion. http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1003212

• problem connecting to the vSphere client

  Recently I found myself unable to connect to the Esxi host at the data center via vsphere client 5.5 by multiple computers (Windows 7). It shows:

  vSphere Client could not connect to "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx".

  A unknown connection error has occurred. (The client may not send a request to the server. (La connexion sous-jacente a été fermée: une erreur inattendue s'est produite sur un envoi.))

  All virtual machines resume normal. And the result of telnet seems normal to port 902:

  However, if I access http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:902 . He showed:

  SSH access has not been enabled, and I can't find any way to access the Esxi host.

  You can try to restart on the host through DCUI management agents.

• Storage in vSphere Client alert

  I just upgraded to vSphere client and manage an ESX 3.5 shows host... under the vSphere client data store alerts, but no detail... That suppose to mean? where can I find more information about alerts? I didn't have this option in VC 2.5

  Thakns.

  You go to the tab alarms and recognize the alarm?  Should have better details there as well.  You can also reset the alarm to the green.

• vSphere client

  My client workstation and host of the ESXi 4.1 do not have internet access. How can I get the vsphere client?

• problem, try to run the vyatta router 4 or 5 on esx and esxi

  Hi all

  I have beed vyatta 4 virtual machines running for awhile now that routers. the problem I have is when there is a large amount of data passing through the router (for example copy an iso image of 500 MB) the host esx or esxi max cpu out. the cpu in time prompt little remains. I guess it's something to do with the pcnet32 NIC driver.

  Vyatta 5 now open-vm-tools built in. the tools all the loading ok however I can't work on how I have to do to get the vmxnet driver works in the virtual machine - he says too that it's a pcnet32. can I manually set in the .vmx config file or somewhere?

  pointers would be great!

  Thank you.

  I vaguely remember some cases on VMs Windows where the VM adapter had to be changed to resolve a performance problem, I do not remember a problem with the central unit. The release of Vyatta 5 is kind of cool that so maybe this will get bugfixed on the road.

• Application of ESX or ESXi Standard license or vSphere new purchase

  Hello

  I read the following in another thread,

  "You can apply any license that you purchase, be it Standard/advanced/business/Business Plus or even packages for small businesses vSphere Essentials and Essentials Plus, ESX or ESXi. Both will give you the same features allowed when it is applied. »

  Once the license applies for example to ESX, does this mean I won't be able to change my mind at a later stage and move all my installations to ESXi?  Thanks for your replies.

  Best regards

  Robin

  You can't really "switch" from ESX to ESXi - you will need to reinstall the hypervisor. But you will be able to use the same license key for ESXi you used for ESX.

• No direct upgrade from ESX to ESXi?

  Am I right that you cannot run a simple update to ESX to ESXi?  Talking about versions 4.0 ESX to ESXi 4.1 here.  I can do a new installation easily enough, but I'd rather not.

  Also, just as a question, is there a way to check if a host ESX or ESXi vCenter?  It seems like it should be obvious, but I can't find it there.

  Thank you.

  Hello.

  Correct, there is no simple update to change versions.

  If you select the host in vCenter, examine the area above the tabs to display the version information.

  Good luck!

• Unable to connect the client via vsphere ESX host

  Dear team,

  Once I tried to connect to client host via vsphere ESX I m getting following error.

  

  VCenter version: 4.1.0 345043

  vSphere client: 4.1.0 345043

  ESX Version: 4.1.0 721871

  You help me on the same request.

  concerning

  Mr. VMware

  It is usually advisable, but not an obligation, to have the build of your version of vCenter client correspondence.
