  Hello

  Thanks for the reply but SDcard are clear. map of are new directly from Cisco.

• Problem with the start of VMware ESXi 5.0

  I just installed VMware ESXi 5.0 on a new Cisco UCS B200 series blade with two 300 GB hard drives configured in a RAID 1 mirror.  I went through and completed the installation of VMware ESXi 5.0 on this server.  When the installation is complete and the server restarted, he did not initiate the ESXi where I can change the IP address and VLAN.  Instead, I get this text string after the initial boot sequence that is shown in the attachment.  I have a guest who said Shell > do not know why I can not start correctly in ESXi 5.0.  Thank you!  Paul

  Hi Paul,.

  Looks like you boot to the EFI shell. What is the startup policy that you have configured on this server service profile? It should look like the one below.  If there is a problem with the boot order, you should be able to type "EXIT", then enter on the EFI shell to exit the prompt. If your startup is similar to the one below and you still experience this issue, try to downgrade and re - ack the blade.

  Let me know if it helps.

  

• Debian Wheezy 7 - iSCSI / LIO problem with ESXi 5.0

  Hi all

  I had a Debian Wheezy on a HP ML310e server. This server should be used as an iSCSI - storage server.

  Unfortunately I am not able to connect my 5.0 with LIO iSCSI target ESX servers.

  I used the implementation of LIO (targetcli) for iSCSI and I used the official installation manual Linux target SCSI - ISCSI.

  I know that the discovery of the Portal works, because when I enter the IP Address of storage in the dynamic discovery, the two portals of storage can be found. BUT any new features.

  I disabled the CHAP authentication, because I thought that it might have to do with it, but still no go.

  My Windows 2003 R2 64 bit backup server can connect without a problem.

  I have a feeling it's something small, but unfortunately I can't find any debugging or a newspaper for the login process.

  Here is some info on my system:

  4 ESXi 5.0 x 623860 mit vCenter 5.0.0 623373

  HP ML310e as a storage server with:

  Debian GNU/Linux 7

  Hi all

  Sorry for the late reply.

  I found a problem with MTU 9000.

  One of the switches does not 9000 MTU packet transport.

  After changing the MTU to 1500, everything works like a charm.

• Problem with sh scripts on ESXi 5

  I recently had to solve some problems with delays during renumerisations and restarts due to RDM which is attached to a host ESXi 5 discs. See this article for details http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1016106. Since I had a large number of RDM disks and needed to run the commands on each host I thought that I would write a script. I created the following scripts (just a subset here), but are there problems when it runs:

  Perennial.sh

  esxcli storage device base setconfig d naa.60000970000292600424533033434642 - perpetually reserved = true
  esxcli storage device base setconfig d naa.60000970000292600424533033434643 - perpetually reserved = true
  esxcli storage device base setconfig d naa.60000970000292600424533033443041 - perpetually reserved = true
  esxcli storage device base setconfig d naa.60000970000292600424533033443133 - perpetually reserved = true

  and

  perennial_verify.sh

  esxcli storage device base list d naa.60000970000292600424533033434642 > > storage_list.txt
  esxcli storage device base list d naa.60000970000292600424533033434643 > > storage_list.txt
  esxcli storage device base list d naa.60000970000292600424533033443041 > > storage_list.txt
  esxcli storage device base list d naa.60000970000292600424533033443133 > > storage_list.txt

  I put the files on a data store and gave them execute permissions and they seem to work, however when I run the scripts, they give an error at the end of running something on command not found or something. It does not run all the commands as well. Finally, when the perennial_verify.sh is run more than once something happens in the file storage_list.txt - he had me puzzed for awhile - he showed that the file was different from zero in size, but when I did a cat or less that he would say that the file is not found. Finally I tried to copy the file down in the browser of data store and found that there was a printable character appended to the end - possibly a return carraiage. Now I can not rename the file or delete it - it is impossible to remove. If anyone has any advice on running sh scripts and the correct way to pipe the output to a file I know you more.

  Thank you

  Ed

  What is the exact error do you receive when you try to delete?

  Rather than redirect the output for each order, simply redirect the script in the log file, which will capture the entire script.

• Problem with a fresh install of ESXi 5.0 no boot

  Hello

  I have a problem with a LS22 (IBM), when I install a new ESXi 5.0 on the server and restart this server cannot start ESXi, only show me a promt and cannot start normally.

  I tried to install it with Shift-O 'runweasel formatwithmbr' and does not work

  I had the same problem with a HX5 (IBM) and i only enter the BIOS and add the ESXi as another device to start and this is a job for me, but I can't do that with the LS22.

  Can someone help me please.

  Ty

  This usually happens for two reasons.  The first reason is that your BIOS is unable to properly read a GPT partition.  The second would be if your BIOS is starting from the wrong drive.  Check your BIOS and make sure the drive that you installed ESX is one that is configured to start.

• Problems with vmotion on Esxi

  Hallo.

  I have problem with vmotion migration between hosts.

  It gives me the following error:

  General system error: migration failed when copying data

  and fails to 10%

  HW configuration:

  Box M1000e blade

  5 * Server Blade M610 with 1 card of additional network for fabric b

  2 * I / O modules switch for fabric

  2 * I / O modules switch for fabric B

  It wasn't the economy for 6 modules of e/s so we have a configuration with only 4 i/o modules switch

  If FabricB is dedicated for ISCSI ay

  Fabric is then used for VM, ay and Vmotion management

  vmnic 0 + 1 (fabric) is configured in a nic to the virtual switch team in a configuration of active standby.

  Vmnic0 active and standby Vmnic1

  On the vmkernel on the same switch port virtual I have changes the active standby for vmnic 0 Eve and vmnic1 active (I also tried to use the order active / standby for the vmkernel as the virtual switch setting but the same error occurs).

  VM/management is therefore run traffic Vmnic0 and Vmotion vmnic1 primary primer

  Vswitch0 on host1:

  VM network VLAN 168

  VMotion VLAN 168 ip:192.168.168.201

  Management network VLAN168 ip: 192.168.168.145

  Vswitch0 on host2:

  VM network VLAN 168

  VMotion VLAN 168 ip:192.168.168.202

  Management network VLAN168 ip: 192.168.168.146

  Tried the following without success:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1013150

  Offline migration works very well.

  And it seems to be a recurring problem because last night he worked with a vmotion online but today mistake once again.

  Any good suggestion on this issue?

  Hi Michael,

  VMotion doesn't storage networking (as long as the data store is accessible by two hosts). Only those ports vmkernel with IP 201 and 202 are involved.

  Check only these two enabled VMotion vmkernel ports. Are two servers connected to the same switch vmnic0? Try to catch the error message in the logs.

  Good luck

• Problems with the data store when installting ESXi USB

  I had problems getting free ESXi reliable running.  I am able to install a flash drive fine and initially everything works and I am able to create virtual machines.  Upon the first connection to vSphere, told me that there is no data store, so I create one on my controller LSI 400 GB RAID1 8308elp without problem.  However, once I reboot the server ESXi I lose the data store.  When I check my warehouses under Configuration it is listed.  At this point, if I try to create the data store, yet once I get "Error during the configuration of the host".  I read about using fdisk from the console when people have had this problem but there is no access console in the free version.  Is that what I can do to work around this problem?

  Right in the HCL... SAS/SATA-RAID of the lists for older versions, SCSI for the current version... Search within i/o devices for "LSI 8308elp '...

• Problem with OpenManage integration for vCenter - OMSA status: update required

  Hello

  We have a problem with the configuration of OpenManage integration on a vSphere 5.5 U2 Cluster. We have deployed IMO for vCenter v 2.3.0 build 290 aircraft, and we have installed manually OMSA VIB v7.4.0.2 on our 5.5. U2 ESXi hosts.

  The question we face is respect for vSphere host - when we start the Wizard "Fix Non compliant vSphere Host" it displays the correct version of the OMSA - 7.4.0.2 but OMSA status is "required update".

  Whe test us the connection to hosts using "Test the connection profile", it hangs at 0% and will be never finished.

  Also in the OpenManage integration in vSphere Client "Frimware" tab option is grayed out.

  Please indicate how we can make this work?

  Concerning

  Milan

  Well, I did some research more and found that ESXI 5.5 U1 and U2 don't are not supported by OMSA right now.

  FTP://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_software/esuprt_virt_solutions/Dell-Mgmt-plugin-for-VMware-Center-2.3_Release%20Notes_en-us.PDF

  ESXi 5.5 U1 and U2 are supported only for the OMIVV on the servers of 12th and 13th generation who are capable of out-of-band management and require no OMSA must be installed on the host system. We intend to add a supported of the OMSA version at a later date.

  Thank you

• Nexus 9396 VPC with VMware ESXi 5.5 switch Standard

  We have just upgraded our central office switch in a Nexus 9396, which is linked to double UCS 6248 FI and also individually to some Dell R710 with dual 10 GB Ethernet card. When it connects to these stand-alone servers with a VPC etherchannel, the IP address of management rises and falls and some hosts can speak while others do not. If I leave a disabled port, it works fine. However, as soon as the two are enabled, connectivity breaks down. These ESXi servers are on a standard license, so distributed switches are out of the question. I have activate eval license and installation a vDS using the LACP improved and that works fine, it just doesn't work as an etherchannel standard with a standard virtual switch. The connectivity of the 6248 works also without any problems running in LACP. Here is the configuration:

  SW01 Nexus:

   interface Ethernet1/5   description ESX vPC Member   switchport mode trunk   channel-group 202   no shutdown interface port-channel202   description ESX   switchport mode trunk   vpc 202 

  SW02 Nexus:

   interface Ethernet1/5   description ESX vPC Member   switchport mode trunk   channel-group 202   no shutdown interface port-channel202   description ESX   switchport mode trunk   vpc 202 

  Configuration of ESXi is a standard switch with "Route based on the IP hash" and the two active adapters. Am I missing something? This configuration is not supported? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  What happens if you do not use Portchannel, only 2 10gig (1/5 on each switch)?

  I think that the on the ESX host using maps network HA and can use only a single link. Once an operation fails, it uses it.  I think, I remember because the same problem with ESX hosts a couple of years.

  You can test the redundancy with physical ports and Portchannels?

• Problems with Adaptec RAID followed after update02 arcconf

  Hello NG,.

  We have problems with a 5.1 ESXi host.

  It worked fine with 5.1_update01.

  After that we did a upgrade to Adaptec arrconf tool 5.1_update02 gives us an error message saying:

  Inspectors found: 0

  Invalid controller number.

  We suspect that the driver Adaptec SCSI (vmware-esxi-drivers-scsi-aacraid-510.5.2.1.29900.-1.1.5.799733.x86_64.vib) has been replaced by the hotfix.

  Any who have had a similar problem?

  What can we do? How to find the old driver?

  Kind regards...

  Hello

  to install VIB/driver to take effect, you must restart you host. If something goes wrong don't worry, you can use alt-bootbank to restore any changes made by the installer.

  To use successfully restore to the previous picture SHIFT + R during the process of start-up of ESXi.

• Problem with the Ubuntu CPU usage

  Hello

  We meet a few the next problem with an Ubuntu VM:

  The virtual machine has 8 vCPU (increased from 2 Sockets with 4-core to 8 outlets with a carrot) and the latest VMware tools installed. Even if there is a lot of load on this system, the virtual machine seems to use about 25% to 50% of CPU capacity. The return of the command vmstat 1 during this time is:

  user: 28%

  system: 4%

  inactive: 78%

  wait: 0%

  VCenter statistics shows a spike on the CPU load, but epi only climbs and rest between 25 and 50 percent or a maximum use of 7 309 MHz (about 16,000).

  

  Here are some features of the environment and the virtual machine:

  Server:

  VMware ESXi 5.5

  VMware vCenter 5.5

  HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8

  • 2 x Intel Xeon E5-2620 @ 2.00 GHz
  • 96 GB OF RAM
  • QNAP-TS-869U-RP via iSCSI

  VM:

  VM-Version 8

  8 vCPU

  8 GB vRAM

  Updated version of the VMware tools installed

  What can we do to improve the virtual machine CPU usage?

  Please let me know if you need further information.

  Thanks in advance

  Christian

  Since a thread can use 100% of a vCPU it may be a problem of thread on your application.

  You should look at the use of the individual processor instead of overall consumption.

  Lets say that the application can use only 1 wire but it uses 100%, this means that it will use to 12.5% of the total cpu resources allocated to this virtual machine. (100/8)
