Problem in mapping partition VMFS of iSCSI (MON) after upgrade to ESXi 4.0

Hi all

I've got 2 x Dell PowerEdge 2950 III linked directly with Dell MD3000i iSCSI-SAN and today I had once hard to improve my production ESXi 3.5 u 4 ESXi 4.0,.

First is that the upgrade is failed miserably after following this thread: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/211413;jsessionid=47217F9BCCA2DF1325DBE7A266D48A8D?tstart=0

with the following error: ERROR: boot disk not supported

The layout of boot device on the host computer does not support the upgrade.

and second is that after reinstalling clean and lost all unique settings on my ESXi host, I am now stuck in SAN iSCSI partition mapping after following the guide from: support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/eslvmwre/AdditionalDocs/cnfigrtn* guide/storage* _guide.pdf

See the following attachment.

I wonder how do people in the production system running ESXi 3.5 u 4 filled with hundreds of VM?

any idea and suggestion would be welcomed gladly.

Thank you.

Kind regards

    This is the network driver for this adapter for VMware vSphere 5.1

    http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdHome/?sp4ts.oid=3913538&spf_p.tpst=swdMain&spf_p.prp_swdMain=wsrp-navigationalState%3DswEnvOID%253D4141%257CswLang%253D%257Caction%253DlistDriver&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken

    The current version of the driver is: 5.0.636 (February 18, 2014)

    It is possible update 2, put in a new driver by default in it or put a driver that simply doesn't work properly with this network adapter.  Is this the only nic you use iSCSI for?

    You should really spread your connections on two just physical NICs wrap one of the network adapters fail so you don't lose your iSCSI connection unless you can suffer a loss to your iSCSI and it's not a big deal.

    Here's the Vmware KB article how to check which version of the driver of network that you are currently using:

    VMware KB: Determine what storage driver or network is actively exploited on ESXi host

    The document talks using the update command to update the driver, but it is my experience that its better to just do an uninstall / install, but you can try the update, assuming that this is a driver update.  I have a feeling it will be a lower version than what is currently in place.

    You will use the following command to install or update:

    software esxcli vib install zipfilenameofdriver d

    or

    esxcli update software vib - v vibfilenameofdriver

    I also found some installation instructions in the zip file

    Hope this has helped

  • Big problems after upgrade to ESXi U2 U3

    So I'm pretty new to ESXi, a few months, this server running.

    change I think the problem was the following. When I created VM1 and opened on the old old V of the DIR drive it was only a single file and it opens fine. When I created VM2 and open the old disk from the old DIR it couldn't find the other files because it resembled the new DOH DIR.! and then after that I moved all the files on disc to the new dir then it did not work and gave me the parent changed message. / edit

    Thus, all started when I tried to use VMware Infrastructure Update on my workstation to update my ESXi server. After the update, I rebooted and the server never came back to the top. I thought: my installation is basic I'll just re - create a new USB key with the current U3 and start with that and re-setup ESXi.

    So I did and was able to create a new virtual machine for server 1 and use my old virtual drive of Server1 and booted up and works perfectly.

    Then I created a new virtual machine to Server 2 and used my old virtual server disk 2 and when it started it was not the right server... but it was the virtual hard disk only I could take in this DIR. After I looked again using the browser of data store, I noticed the snapshot files. If I had started in an old cliché, or I guess as the snapshot of base. But all my data are in the latest instant 2 capture files. I can't mount it as a virtual hard drive.

    I got the error "... reason: the virtual disk parent has changed since the child was created."

    Where I am now is so I have started more than once as the basis of snapshots without the current clichés and they do not seem to hang on after that a basis has been started and changed.

    Is there anyway for me to get data from this mess?

    Any help and input is greatly apprciated!

    I wonder how people make their upgrade in ESXi 4.0 in the production system running ESXi 3.5 u 4 filled with hundreds of VM? The reason why I use 2 x ESXi server connected to unique SAN server, is that I can just start the virtual machine on the SAN from the other ESXi - & gt; that's fine and tested, but then when I rebuild the failed server, I need to delete all the data inside the shared partition that contains my VMs.

    So in conclusion after one of the ESXi server failed, mapping of iSCSI would eventually destroy all data in the partition?

    CMIIW, any idea and suggestion would be gladly appreciated

    The configuration-> tab cards storage, you should be able to recrawl and find existing VMFS volumes.  You shouldn't need to add storage.

  • Problem with the mapping of the keyboard after upgrading to Fusion 7

    Hello

    I noticed that the keyboard layout has changed in the comments after the upgrade to VMware Fusion version 6 to version 7, even if nothing has changed in the settings "Region and language" in comments Windows 7.  Keys that have changed are "------' with ' < ' and ' | ' with ' > ' everything is OK. The keyboard is configured in Italian

    All the world has noticed the same problem?

    Have you solved?

    Thanks in advance.

    The problem has been resolved by the technical support of vmware with a workaround. They know that the question on the keys is interchangeable in the VM after upgrade to Fusion 7.

    Their development team is currently working on this issue on the priority. This will be fixed in the next update.

    However, they have a work around for the problem of keyboard. Following the instructions below to map the key manually in VMware Fusion.

    : Note make a note of the interchangeable keys in Windows before you enable the mapping of the keys.

    1. click on VMware Fusion-> preferences-> keyboard & mouse-> mappings of keys

    2. make sure that 'Enable key mappings' is enabled

    3. click on '+' sign at the bottom

    4. press the key that you want to send from the text box Mac keyboard

    5. press the key you want to receive on the VM in text box

    Note: You can also use the combination of change, control, Option, command if necessary.

  • The upgrade to ESXi 4.1 with storage iSCSI software to ESXi 5.5

    I intend to upgrade ESXi 4.1 with which I have attached to ESXi 5.5 iSCSI software storage

    I've updated all my guests who were on the SAN storage with no problems.

    I would like to know that if it there's nothing I should take care before I update the host connected iSCSI to ESXi 5.5, as for the hosts with SAN attached storage I made to remove the cables of SAN before upgrading the host.

    Also, if all known problems, you will be informed during the upgrade to ESXi 4.1 to ESXi 5.5 with iSCSI Software storage, please let me know?

    If there is no different process to upgrade coz in ESXi 4.1 I do not see this link ports of iSCSI vmkernel ports software iSCSI but I know in ESXi5.5 we have to or I just launch a procedure of standard upgrade via the Update Manager and everything will be taken care?

    Thanks in advance

    With ESXi prior to version 5, linking ports had to be done via command line. However, if it has been configured correctly, you should be able to upgrade to ESXi 5.5 (assuming that the host has not been previously updated since version 3). BTW. the last time that I disconnected the host of storage for an upgrade has been with ESX 3.0.

  • Upgrade to ESXi 5.0 to 5.1 on HP Proliant G7 with disorder of iSCSI drive.

    Hello.

    I have 3 host (2 x HP Proliant G6 with SSD for ESXi and a HP Proliant G7 with disk software on EMC Celerra iSCSI).

    After upgrading to version 5.1 vCenter, I tried to upgrade my host to ESXi 5.1.

    I have download the ESXi 5.1 HP iso image and create the basis for upgrade of host.

    At first im upgrading to one of the hosts of G6 with SSD drive, update was successful and im tried to upgrade my host in the G7 with player software iSCSI.

    After that prepare to host has been reset and can't install 5.1 with this reason:

    I know, this problem with the iSCSI disk, but I can't solve it.

    What is the result if you enter this command: esxcfg-info - b

    It gives you the same string that you pasted (savebootbank = f77f5074-f7f0n9f9-322c-398546a488e7)?

  • Problems syncing notes app after upgrading to iOS 10

    Hi all

    I hear a lot of people having the same problem on the web.

    After upgrading my iPhone 6 s more and iPad Pro iPad 9.7 ", kept perfect notes that I saved in the Notes application (like my MBP / iMac too), while on my iPhone, I've known many sync problems and even lost notes and records.

    1. I tried to pass and on the synchronization of Notes in the iOS iCloud preferences, with a reboot between stocks. Nope. No synchronization, and when I turned on sync I lost almost all of the notes previously saved in my iPhone, so I now 15 notes instead of 175. This ONLY happens on my iPhone, while iPad / MBP / iMac yet.

    2 - I tried to create a new folder in my MBP or in my iMac, hoping to "stimulate" a new event to Resync through all my devices. Not for the iPhone, but synchronized on my iPad / MBP / iMac.

    3. today, I made a backup of my iPhone, reinstalled the iOS 10, then restored the backup.

    Nope.

    Any ideas, guys?

    Thank you

    Luca

    EDIT: actually sync problems seems to occur exclusively on the side of the iOS. This also includes the iPad. Fortunately, I didn't have the great idea to disable the synchronization of Notes in iCloud on my iPad, as I did on the iPhone.

    I'd lose certainly all currently stored notes in my iPad too.

  • Problem of LTE connectivity after upgrade to iOS 10-SE

    Do not know if everyone knows this, but after upgrade to iOS 10 on my iPhone SE when I leave one area LTE and go to the services area or area No. less than LTE and re - enter a LTE area, I have no service. There is no service or reports 4g, but when I use an app, it says no network not connected. I tried all the usual stuff... Restored from backup, cleared cache, reset the network connections, did a hard reset, nothing works. The only thing that comes to LTE turns the phone then turn it back. All this experience? I have never had this issue before moving to iOS 10.

    I think you have the same problem described here:
