Problem with vmotion between two esx 4.1

• Having a problem with vmotion between two hosts with processors Intel E5640

  Hi all.

  We organize a group of 14 guests, each with ESX 4.0, build 261974 installed.

  They are managed through vCenter 4.0.0 and construction 258672, vSphere client 4.0.0 builf 258672.

  The hosts are blades from IBM, in a BladecenterH.

  Some of the blades are older model HS21 (type 7995) with processors Intel Xeon E5440.

  The rest of the blades are more recent model HS22V (type 7871) with processors Intel Xeon E5640.

  We are currently replacing old HS21 blades with more the HS22 blades, so we just bought 7 HS22s, all with the same Intel E5640 processors located in the blades currently in service. One of the things that this transition will happen for us is allowing us to have the same processor type in all of our blades and remove vMotion compatibility problems we had in the past. We were unable to turn on CVS, because we would have had to shut down a cluster of virtual machines on the latest hosts and could not take this kind of failure. We will turn VCA after that.

  Here's the question:

  We just installed the first new knives, and when turn on us and try to vMotion VMs to it, it fails. He gives us the error standard vMotion on CPU register incompatibilities, and that we should read kb1993. The thing is, they all have the same processor. Same identifier type, same everything, yet for some reason vCenter is convinced they are incompatible. We checked things in BIOS, and they are all the same.

  We are ideas, other than the new knives have a later rev BIOS than the old ones.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you!

• Problem with switching between two streaming flv videos

  Hello! Coconut I m of course! I have 2 streaming flv videos in the timeline panel. Reading flv containers are in different settings that you can view with two buttons. Once I pass the first video in the second... When I go back to the first he won´t see the worms the top (it goes on the framework, I said, but video doesn´t load) and this position can´t go to the second. (It works fine on place).
  This is the page: www.spyltd.com.ar go to the MEDIA button.
  
  

  I thank very much for your help and excuse my English!

  Add a random variable on behalf of these two so the aborted file flv is not retrieved from the cache to the users.  for example,.

  whatever_pb.source = "diiaSkate.flv? NoCache = "+ math. Random();

• 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 vMotion

  Hello

  I bought a couple of new ESX hosts and wanted to migrate virtual machines from the old hosts to the news.

  They share no storage, so the idea was to make unrequited vmotion. I've migrated a couple of virtual machines without any problem.

  So far so good, no problem and good performance (120 MB/S on a 1Gbit link), any necessary downtime for virtual computers customer etc.

  Then I hit a brick wall, a couple of virtual machines do not accept migrating online and fails with these errors:

  The virtual machine requires hardware features that are not supported or disabled on the target host:

  * General incompatibilities

  If possible, use an active cluster with vMotion compatibility (EVC) Enhanced; See article 1003212.

  CPUID details: incompatibility at level 0 x 1 'ecx' register

  Bits of the host: 0111:0110:1101:1000:0011:0010:0000:0011

  Required: x 001: x11x:10 x 1: 1xx0:xx10:xx1x:xx0x:xx11

  The strange thing here is that it's only a few virtual machines who know this problem. I know for a fact that some of them has been created and has started in the old cluster and some works while some don't. I was not able to limit at different levels of the operating system (two machines have the same operating system where a job and the other does not). Most VMs are Windows virtual machines.

  Naturally, I ran the CPUID ISO test that VMware has, and I got this result:

  

  The old host ESX on the left, the other on the right.

  Does anyone have any suggestions on how can I proceed to obtain the complete success of vmotions? Check the BIOS settings tips?

  What makes it really strange is that some VMS migrate correctly, while some simply refuse... I suspect that it may be some affecting .vmx deep inside the file, this is my next step to study. I need without restart or stop the VMs customers.

  Version information:

  vCenter 5.5.0 build 2646482

  Old ESX: 5.1 build 1312873 (HP Proliant G7 DL360)

  New ESX: 5.5 build 2718055 (HP Proliant BL460c Gen9)

  Looks like you have either CVS mode on these virtual machines (at some point) or you have a custom CPUID mask set. Anyway, you will need a failure to change that.

  The other option would be to set the CVS mode on your new cluster at a lower level, but you need to stop all the virtual machines on the cluster. Lesson for next time do you it I suppose...

• problem with authentication RSA on ESX 3.5

  Hi guys,.

  I am trying to configure a SSH + RSA encryption between my ESX Server and my computer connection / Virtual Center.

  The objective here is to make plink command using the root (and after other account + sudo) account but passing without password.

  So I used some of the things that is already inthere,

  "How to create file keypar by dropbear http://..."but it's for ESXi and it use dropbear, which I don't have on ESX 3.5 (Finally I can't ^^).

  So I use the keygen. Here are my actions:

  -Make a ~/.ssh/authorized_keys with rights chmod 700

  -generate public / private keys using the command ssh-keygen-b 1024-t rsa .

  -copy the two files to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys with chmod 700 on them.

  -copy the private key / public, using fastSCP on my PC.

  -generate a ppk file using puttygen.exe

  -change the PuTTY to access my ESX via a root autologon, put my file ppk on SSH auth (with RSA authentication).

  -Save the change

  -exemplary public key to Pageant.exe.

  -change sshd_config to enable RSA / root login

  -try to connect...

  ESX is always ask for a password

  any ideas appreciated!

  Hello

  I am really convinced that it is not a good approach for a production data center to enable root SSH access. Data Center shown here, and I'm testing on is not production data center. It is a test which has by no means of access to the production data center. Two of them have no access to the internet. A quilting my correct computer is always possible, that's why I'm trying to ssh rsa encryption / access work. After I did this job with the root account, be sure to what I'm going to allow it with another account with sudo stuff.

  I would inquire on how get what you want really work and not go the road to get the root work... The same steps apply to any user. But to get the root work, other measures. What you're trying to do is very well known in the Linux space. I use it all the time and never fallen on all issues. To do this, you need to be comfortable with a Linux style editor.

  I don't understand why the publication of a public key is not good? This is not one I will use when it will work, but I assume that a brute force on a 2 with only the public key 1024 RSA key will take a lot of time? (Well I hope)

  It is a good idea never to publish all the keys. Then you need not worry about this...

• Clone the virtual machine between two ESX 3.5.0 servers (low connection)

  Hi all!

  I have two ESX 3.5.0 servers that are managed by a vCenter servers one have just the connection of 32 KB.

  I need to clone one of my virtual machines from one to the other ESX is W2k8 created with 40 GB HARD drive. I tried to start it clone trough my low connection, but the task is about 86% for 4 days :|

  Is it possible to clone virtualmachine on one of my ESX for its local storage and after that, get it by vCenter for example an external HARD drive and then copy them all to my second ESX? How to run copied virtual machine on my second ESX? Maybe I can do it with another way - ideas?

  Two ESX are the same versions and machines, only the names and the ip addresses are different.

  Thanks for the tips

  Kris

  I don't think it is possible since the virtual disk will be 40 GB in size - I was suggesting using a laptop as a server NFS ESX sees and access the virtual machine for this storage clone - it take the first vessel of ESX host it to secondary site attach NFS datastore on the second ESX Server and using the browser of data store you navigate to the cloned VMX of VM file and to him the second ESX host - you can cold migrate leaving the second host and then move the cursor above for the storage you want.

• Problem with the pagefile in ESX 3.0

  Hello

  We have an ESX 3.0.1 box on which we welcomed 15 virtual machines. Hardware configuration is 64 GB of RAM and 4 quad core cpu. The size of the swap file partition is 1080 MB.

  Now, one day we are facing problems with the swap file, use of the swap file is to reach more than 90%. How can I find that VM use the swap file and how can I fix this problem?

• Load balancing and replication between two ESX servers

  This point is covered in another post last month, but I want to assure you that I am

  erase before ordering anything.  We run a VMware

  Server (ESX Server 3.5 Enterprise version).  I have about 12 VM

  running on the server. The server is connected to via fiber channel to

  a Clariion drive Bay.  We backup each virtual computer inside the virtual machine, not outside in

  it.

  I want to buy an additional VMware Server which

  provide redundancy. The second server VMware will also point the

  Bay of same discs (shared storage).  It will store some VM as well.

  What

  I want to do is to have two servers balance between them.

  Also, I want that there return replication while is a server

  Dies, it will be responsible for all virtual machines.

  What I have

  read, we need to use a combination of VMware HA, DRS and VMotion to make

  all it - OK?  I intend to buy another license of the VI3 enterprise as well as a permit for VirtualCenter Foundation.  Finally, if I have company for both servers ESX licenses and

  VirtualCenter, which gives me VMware HA, DRS and VMotion

  capacity?  I appreciate any guidance on this.

  I don't think you can automatically load the balance between the two boxes.   the shared storage ensures guests / VM have the current data available.  No actual replication necessary.

  Just take your Hardest hit of VM and split them between the two hosts.

  On VMotion?  It is much easier to run just a host with a failure to another identical host.    I have not attemptied it in any other way quite a few facilities.   Do you think that your host is running out of gas?   I used to think that as well, but I'm surprised how much any given host can be loaded up without experiencing consitantly performance problems.    If they are windows?  You can check how the VM is performing pretty easy with the Windows performance tools.  All this with low end Iscsi San, I can only imagine how fiber of rocks on the performance.

• Problem with VLAN between Cisco Catalyst (3560G) and SG300-52

  I am having trouble with the creation of a trunk of vlan between a SG300-52 and a Cisco Catalyst 3560 G.  I have 4 VLANS (1, 2, 10 and 11) on the 3650 and I need ports on the SG300 to be able to communicate with them.

  On the 3560, port 14 is defined as:

  interface GigabitEthernet0/14

  switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

  switchport mode trunk

  spanning tree portfast

  On the Sg300 port 52 is defined as:

  interface GigabitEthernet52

  point to point link type spanningtree

  switchport trunk allowed vlan add 1,2,10,11

  description macro switch

  Try to understand what the problem... Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Chris

  Hi Chris, the first problem is the spanning tree portfast, it shouldn't be on an interconnection network switch. You may have a mismatch of vlan native as well, but that shouldn't matter.

  A suggestion, however, the value of the port SG300 general mode and disable the input filter.

• Problem with vmotion

  I have two Intel servers (we're westmere generation and the other is generation sandy bridge). I'm trying to vmotion a test in my cluster vm and when I try to change the VCA mode I get "the host cannot be admitted to the current cluster Enhanced vMotion. compatibility mode. Under voltage or suspension of the virtual machines on the host can use the CPU features hidden by this mode'for all modes. I want to know if there is a way to vmotion server without it turn off.

  There is another difference in processor for servers. HT is enabled in the BIOS for both servers. Option HT is reflected in the vmware client in a server, but in an other servers it's to show people with disabilities (HT has been enabled in the BIOS after installing ESXi for the other server).

  Can someone guide me on how to migrate the virtual machine without stopping it.

  so that the VM get the CPUID again, you will need to turn off the virtual machine and power then turn it on again.  Thus, you probably won't be able to do a vMotion from one host to another until the virtual machine has the new CPUID
