problems of configuration-esxi

Hello

I'm having a problem with the script configure esxi.

I have two vCenters, two 5.1.0 build 947673. A vCenter contains 4 hosts, 32 other hosts.

The following has worked flawlessly and configured 4 guests without error. All 4 hosts are visible in the journal MISTLETOE Insight...

Configure esxi - u vimanager s vmvchomapp05.domain.com.au t 10.80.9.116

However, against the 2nd and biggest vCenter, I get the following...

*** See http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2003127 for more information.

ERROR: Format not supported < syslog >

Other things I noticed are:

Query the vCenter or a currently configured host setting works very well

If there is a crowd of syslog configured on the host, or not makes no difference. Error continues to be.

The format of < syslog > makes no difference, ipaddress, udp://ipaddress:514, hostname all fail

I note that Configuration > >of the software Advanced settings > > Syslog.global.loghost in the vSphere Client of the Syslog is empty for the properly configured hosts. I guess that's normal behavior. /etc/vmsyslog.conf is correctly configured

I have read the log files in/var/log/loginsight and do not see anything which is useful for my troubleshooting.

Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

See you soon

1. Yes this is the expected behavior. ESXi 5.x support several loghost entries and to ensure that a user does not accidentally remove old entries loghost configure esxi requires a separate command to remove a loghost. ESXi 4.x does not support a single loghost and configure esxi is delivered with the f flag to replace the existing entry. You will notice when you use - help t will configure a syslog target. This distinction is important because t can be used for adding more than a target of syslog. For example, if you have a loghost configured 10.10.10.10, then try to add tcp://10.10.10.10:1514 then configure esxi will change 10.10.10.10 to tcp://10.10.10.10:1514 rather than add a second entry.

2. configure esxi is provided as a tool for individuals to use, which is particularly useful for people who do not have existing scripts and exploit no profiles of the host. If you have an existing script or host profiles so feel free to use them.

3. I assume you mean when configure esxi detected what he thought was a malformed loghost. Thanks for the comments, I'll make sure it is considered for a future version.

    It could also be that your NETWORK adapter driver is included in the ISO file.

    If you NIC are supported (on the HCL) then you can simply load the appropriate driver or create an ISO custom (with the help of the image generator) with the correct driver added.

    Help me, please

    ESXi is very demanding and specific with regard to the material. There is a very short list and I do not think that your software is on the supported list. You may be able to get hardware not supported for installation, but you must work there. I would look on the site http://vm-help.com for possible solutions for your hardware not supported.

  • Backup configuration ESXi via PowerCLI

    Hello.

    Is it possible with PowerCLI (similar to the RCLI) to back up and restore the configuration of an ESXi host and how if possible?

    Or should we use the beast ulgy Pearl for this?

    Thanks for your help.

    Kind regards

    goppi

    Perl (esxcfg - cfgbackup.pl) both PowerCLI uses the vSphere API to deliver a configuration ESXi backup using BackupFirmwareConfiguration and RestoreFirmwareConfiguration

    Here is a PowerCLI script that seems to do the job: http://waynes-world-it.blogspot.com/2009/08/vmware-powercli-backup-esxi-40-firmware.html (have not tested personally)

  • Problems of configuration of SNMP 5.1 ESXi - .trp files accumulate after that SNMP is disabled

    Hello

    We had 2 problems with our new servers ESXi 5.1 has:

    1 vMotions to fail 13%

    2. some of the virtual machines are not accessible through their consoles. (Impossible to contack MKS)

    To resolve these issues, I came across the following KB:

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2040707

    I did the step necessary and even created a new host profile where the SNMP agent is disabled. However, on a successful remmediation of the new profile, .trp files continue to accumulate in/var/spool/snmp (above 3000 files in 2 days) and I have no idea what creates these files of trap and why.

    Anyone can shed light on this issue?

    This is solved in the latest version of vSphere 5.1 update 1.

    Release notes: https://www.vmware.com/support/vsphere5/doc/vsphere-esxi-51u1-release-notes.html

    ESXi host 5.x appears disconnected in vCenter Server and logs the ramdisk (root) is full message in the vpxa.log file
    If Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is unable to handle the number of trap SNMP (.trp) files in the foldersnmp/var/spool/snmp of ESXi, the host may appear as disconnected in vCenter Server. You may not be able to perform all the tasks on the host computer.
    The vpxa.log contains several entries that are similar to the following:
    WARNING: VisorFSObj: 1954: unable to create the file
    /var/run/VMware/f4a0dbedb2e0fd30b80f90123fbe40f8.lck for vpxa process because the table of the inode of the ramdisk (root) is full.
    WARNING: VisorFSObj: 1954: unable to create the file
    / var/run/VMware/Watchdog-vpxa. PID to treat sh, because the inode of the ramdisk (root) table is full.

    This issue is fixed in this version.

  • Problems of configuration of the NIC in ESXi 4.1

    I have a HP DL380 G7

    I loaded ESXi, the server has 6 physical NIC, 4 on board and 2 in a PCI Intel card.

    The system will accommodate 3 VM - all 2008 R2 Enterprise

    2 servers, I want the team to failover and load balancing

    I have configured my NIC this way

    NIC 0 dedicated to managing the virtual computer

    1 NETWORK card dedicated to a single server running as a domain controller

    Map NETWORK 2 and 5 I want the team to failover and a faster flow on a TS

    NIC 3 and 4 I want the team to failover and a faster flow SQL database running

    I segragated 2 NICd dual servers have a NETWORK card on each card, where a map should fail

    Here's where I lose myself-

    How can I add network cards to the actual virtual machines correctly?

    If the network adapters are associated, I see 1 NIC in each virtual computer or will I see 3 NICs in the actual virtual machine?

    If a virtual computer uses a bundled pair of network adapters, I should add the two network adapters, the settings of the virtual machine?

    If a virtual machine uses a pair of network cards grouped and I see 2 network cards in the actual virtual machine, I need to assign an IP address to each NIC?

    Sorry for so many questions, I'm just getting confused by properly installing network cards.

    I've included a screenshot of what I'm trying to accomplish.

    Vmnic0 is 1 Gbit/s and the others are at 100 Mbps.  Using 2 different physical switches?

    If so, I would put all 3 VMs on vSwitch1.  When you create each virtual machine you can assign just a single vmnic to it.  Then bind the vmnic for the VM port to vSwitch1 Group (which is called Terminal Server now).   Virtual machines will not be limited to 100 Mbps when communicating with each other.

  • problem configuring ESXi AND ADAPTEC ASR-240

  • Very big problem on server Esxi on a data center

    Hi dear friends,

    IM using esxi virtualization server in a data center

    everything was good until the month last one of my server has the problem like this:

    When i install a new virtual machine when the installation ends and the operating system restarts and rises when he wants to recognize the network adapter

    the root server goes down. now all my servers to this DC have this problem and I can not add or turn on any virtual machine on that server.

    Anyone with this problem, if so, what is the solution?

    Help, please

    Thank you

    Just to clarify:

    You have an ESXi host.  Configure you a new virtual machine and install an operating system.  When the operating system restarts and tries to use in the host network ESXi restarts.

    Is this correct?

    Please give some more details:

    1. ESXi version

    2. Virtual Machine OS

    3. managed with vcenter

    4. virtual network for ESXi host and virtual machine configuration

    5. material the ESXi host is running

    6. nothing in the two papers that can help

    Thank you

  • Problems to configure FireFox to use a CAC reader

    I'm trying to set up Firefox so I can use my CAC card with her reader. My problem is when I try to load a module under Tools > Options > advanced > encryption > safety devices. When I try to load acpkcs201.dll (or any other other .dll files) I get an error message that says: "unable to load the module.

    When I try to use the add-on DoD configuration 1.2 of forge.mil, it is also unable to do this configuration.

    The ACC Player and the software works well in Chrome and IE. The only problem is the .dll file does not load in Firefox using the add-on or manually.

    Does anyone know how to make the module load correctly?

    I use:
    Windows 7 x 64
    Firefox 3.6.9
    SCR331 card reader
    ActivClient 6.2

    I met the same problem at first. I tried to load the *.dll files in obvious location - C:\Program Files\ActivIdentity\ActivClient. None of the files acpkcs*.dll and implement. Then I realized that the current version of Firefox is always a 32-bit program - it can not load the ActivClient 64-bit drivers.

    Try loading C:\Program Files (x86)\ActivIdentity\ActivClient\acpkcs211.dll instead. This has worked for me - the charge immediately *.dll and detected my ACC Player. I was able to successfully access the CAC restricted without any problem sites.

    My configuration:
    Windows 7 Professional x 64
    Firefox 3.6.10
    ActivClient 6.2.0.74 - BINDINGS 1002012

  • D20 problem of configuration of Windows Server 2008 R2 / 1 x SATA HD / 4 x SATA SSD

    Hi all

    I have a Mod D20. 4155 and want to use next to it is by default SATA HDD SATA SSD four disks of virtual machines. Windows Server 2008 R2 will be the OS with the use of its Hyper-V features.

    I have Aproblem with detection of drives in the configuration of the operating system. All 5 disks are visible in the Marvell controller BIOS setup. It is possible to configure a RAID on the SSD, etc, but I don't "see" any disk in the configuration of the operating system. I tried to load additional drivers in the part of the Setup utility GUI, but it did not work. I tried with the driver Marcell SAS and Intel Matrix driver, both located at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/migr-72280.html.

    Suggestions for the BIOS of the PC / BIOS Marvell / OS installation configurations?

    Best regards, Chrischmi

    Hi all

    I found the solution myself. After detection, the default drive is a SATA drive (and), I got the idea to test it on the Intel SATA controller. It was possible to install the spirit of the machine the disks attached to the Intel controller. After installation, I went to Device Manager and installed the driver of Lenovo Marvell, rekindled the Marvell controller disk and started the. Successfully. Yes!

    On my way to the solution, I had another problem: in the setup of Windows GUI part, I got an error of 0 x 80300001 with Lenovo's Intel SATA driver. It was not possible to install windows Server on the SATA drive with reason0x80300001. very helpful post, Microsoft! (-) I decided to use the default Microsoft for the Intel SATA controller driver after a reboot. Installer executed well, but ended with an error 0 x 80070017 and problems of copy of (unknown) files. The solution (found after a few hours...) was to burn a new installation of Windows Server DVD. I don't want to talk about it anymore...

    I need a numeric column and a string column.
    The problem is that I can't configure each of the types in the Edit menu of the table.
    If I set the type of the first column in the Numeric form, this becomes automatically equal.
    Can someone help me?

    Support persons OR confirmed to me that I want to do in version 2009 cannot be done.

  • Problems of configuration of IPTV, WRT1900ACS.

    Hello. I have big problems getting my IPTV to work with my WRT1900ACS. I'm failry certain that it has something to do with something in the router configuration, but what and where is the question. VLAN? Port forwarding? If I go with my cable ISP directly on the uses of the socket of the TV, it works, but as soon as I go through my router, it doesn't. Everything else works, and after reading about this a little bit on the net, it seems almost obvious that I have to click or configure something in my Smart Wifi of Linksys. I'm a lot of people thought have had these problems and in the hope that they were able to solve them.

    Someone has good directions on where to start? I'll also call support for IPTV, but since signals will be mainly done in the router, my guess is that they will not be able to solve. I'm really grateful for any help I can get. I had so many technical problems the last few months, I don't even start taking place with them here...

    I live and the Sweden and the IPTV provider's Viasat. The box is a Samsung.

    Kind regards

  • UCS C220 M3 custom problem after installing ESXi 5.1.0 Cisco

    Hello world

    I m using a Cisco UCS C220 M3 when I tried to install ESXi 5.1.0 custom Cisco after complete the entire process and restart the server. The ESXi has not started it appeared as if there is no operating system.

    In addition, before installing ESXi I configured a HDD in RAID 0, initialized the RAMDisk and chosen as a pilot.

    Hoping someone could help me.

    Llianovich,

    Unfortunately, the on-board controller is not supported with ESXi.  I saw other people using this controller for VMware and makes the work but the behavior is very random and it could work or fail at any time. It is recommended to use one of the controllers of basic PCI or Mezzanine by the ESXi (see c220 m3 datasheet below)
