• VMware Infrastructure Client hanging

  Hi guys,.

  IM new to the world of VMware sorry, I have a server ESX 3.5.0 Build 82663 on a Dell Poweredge 2950 Server VMware Infrastructure Client 2.5.0 build 84767 on a Dell Insperon running Windows 7 workstation, the question I have is that the VIC has recently started to hang when I try to shoot to the top of the list of the VM on the ESX Server machines. The only way I found to fix it is to reboot physically the ESX Server and then I can reconnect the VIC and get the list and start all the VM images on it, but sometimes it will freeze just when starting a picture and if I click on the power on option, once again, I get a message indicating that you cannot start a power on operation when it is being , and then I'm back to square one where the VIC is frozen again.

  Is it possible to restart the game VIC in the ESX box without having to restart the ESX Server?

  Thanks in advance

  Werner

  How much memory you have configured for the service console? Perhaps, if this isn't there, set up to 800MB.  In addition, confirmed the same behavior by launching the VIC from another post of work?

• not getting does not clone/update with VMware Infrastructure client option

  Hi we have an esx3.5 with VIM 2.5

  to authorize the server through a host file, that we had to create a virtual machine on the esx server and install VIM 2.5 above, pointing licensing to the ip address of this server. This vm is winXP so everything works fine.

  When we try to connect to the ip address of the winVista esx server, we get a Manager, without options - clone/updates

  Therefore, in order to make any kind of cloning or updates remotely of machines WinVista you must:

  create a VPN connection on the site with the esx server,

  Connect to the ip address of the esx server,

  Open the VMware Infrastructure client,

  opening of session

  Open the console of the computer that has installed VIM 2.5

  and perform a cloning from inside the virtual Windows XP machine

  as you can see it's pretty heavy. is there another way?

  Thank you!

  Because if I understand your message, you don't see the "Clone/Update" option in the menu when you connect thru customer VI ESX Server. Yes, this isn't. ESX does not provide the functionality without VirtualCenter. Then, must use VirtualCenter, address IP/Hostname in the VI Client to accomplished these tasks.

• Fatal error VMware Infrastructure Client

  Hello.

  I use vSphere Client (version 4.1.0 build 258902) and vCenter Server (version 4.0.0 build 208111) with an IBM BladeCenter.  I am trying to download files on a satastore, but just as he begins to transfer I get this error and closes the client:

  VMware Infrastructure Client fatal error: (app-4048) <-this number changes every time, it's never the same

  Exception 0 x 80000003 (debug break point) has occurred.

  A core file is available in "C:\users\Dave\AppData\Roaming\VMware\vpxclient-3784.dmp".  Please

  ask for support and include the content of the core file.

  To collect the data to submit to the VMware support, run 'vm-support.

  We will respond on the basis of your entitlement to support.

  I get this error, regardless of the OS (tried Windows XP and 7), logged-in user or data store used (we have about 8).  Fails also on local storage for the blade so it can not be anything to do with the fiber storage attached.

  Anyone hit this problem before and have a solution?

  Thank you very much

  Dave

  If you use vCenter 4.0 I advise to use the same version for vSphere client because there has been some problems with the customer for 4.1 when used with mixed versions of ESX

  Let us know your results.

• Possible to download only the VMware Infrastructure Client?

  I am a student, our University has a vmware server we can connect using what, in my view, is called the "VMware Infrastructure Client" of our school computer lab and I was told that you can also download the same client to connect from our own pc at home. (We use a VPN). I've been looking around this site, and no where do not see just a simple download for only Vmware Infrastructure Client, I think that's what I use to connect to the server, our school has running vmware. I tried a few free vmware download from this site, and they seem to be 600 MB + packages with many, many zipped files, not just a simple client that I'm looking for.

  Can someone tell me if there is a way to download a customer of VMware infrastrue, UPS said, and if that sounds right, then I could use to connect to a server on a network running vmware.

  Basically, I have the IP of our server of schools and a user name and password I use to connect to it, but I need to find and install the vmware client to connect to it.

  Hello and welcome to the forums.

  Use a web browser and open https://schools-vmware-server-ip and you should be able to download the client here.

  Good luck!

• Local host for VMware Infrastructure Client permissions

  We normally use vcenter 2.5 and ESX 3.5. Our user permissions are set on vcenter, using Active Directory.

  However when vcenter is out of service, we can connect locally to each esx host using the VMware Infrastructure client. Logging as root works very well. However, we have several local nonroot accounts defined on the ESX host.

  How can we give users permission to open a session? We want to be administrators on the graphical interface, but does not give the root password.

  As root, you will need to identify yourself with the VI Client and assign permissions to non-root users to access environment - but caution that you do not have the granularity of permissions, as you do with VC and if these hosts are managed by CR you do not want to make changes to them directly as this may affest DRS and HA-

• Which TCP port is used for VMWare Infrastructure Client?

  Hello, my ESXi server sits on the private network, and I'm trying to PAT so that I can access the external network using VMWare Infrastructure Client Server. Does anyone know what port is VMWare Infrastructure Client listen? Thank you.

  Priscilla

  Do the external network for VMware NAT

  I guess you mean that your server is located in the internal network and Client is on the outside.

  If the customer does not have to "listen" for connections it opens TCP ports - HI 1024-65535 to servers as follows.

  Servers (including GSX) TCP ports: 8222, 8333, 902

  If you have ESX (i) then TCP ports: 80, 443, 902

• VMware Infrastructure Client for Mac?

  Currently, I run VMware Infrastructure Client in a virtual machine on my Mac, or use to connect to a computer where the client is installed. It would be nice to have a Mac-native of the Infrastructure Client version. Are there plans to make benefit the VMware Infrastructure Client Mac OS X?

• VMware Infrastructure Client Gets an error when you try to connect to "localhost".

  Until a few days ago everything was fine, we have created a virtual machine, installed a vm client infrastructure, and used to manage the esx 3.5 Server

  in some way the connection to the server was interrupted, we rebooted the client infrastructure and tried to connect to 'localhost', got the following error: Vmware infrastructure Client could not connect inintial with the server 'localhost '.

  interesting part is that the client connects fine when we connect to the server ip: 192.xxx.xxx.xxx

  However, when we replace the IP by 'localhost', we get the error: Vmware infrastructure Client could not connect inintial with the server 'localhost '.

  tried rebooting the machine, always not the same error

  any ideas?

  before we connected to localhost and had a capacity to use plugins as well as manage other servers

  Ah, now I see.  is vCenter service running?  Try to restart the service.  I think that the vCenter service has a problem, it is important connect directly to ESX server instead of using virtual center.

• VMWare Infrastructure Client Login - password

  I have to connect to the VMWare Infrastructure Client by using domain administrator credentials.  Recently, I changed the password of admin area, but I can connect in CIV with the old and the new password?  Y at - it a cache of passwords somewhere that would need to be deleted?  The VIC is not integrated with Active Directory?

  Do you chamge the local administrator on the VC server password? I think that's where it comes from.

• State of the listed material unknown state via API, not so much using VMware Infrastructure Client

  Anyone know if it is a result of ESXi vs say Foundation, company, etc.?  Querying the State of the material using the perl Toolbox storage devices returned the status of "unknown".  While the use of the Windows infrastructure client under 'configuration' then 'State of health', storage devices are listed as with the lights green and 'Normal '.

  through perl toolkit, for example:

  print join ("\t", $host - & gt; name, $hba - & gt; device, $hba - & gt; key, $hba - & gt; model, $hba - & gt; status, $hba - & gt; pilot, $hba - & gt; bus). "\t";

  foo.com vmhba32 key - vim.host.ParallelScsiHba - 4 port SATA IDE Controller (ICH9) vmhba32 unknown ata_piix 0

  To obtain the status of storage devices, as seen in VI Client, you must watch HostStorageElementInfo API. This API gives the State of operation of the various components of storage. To access data from this API, you need to drill down to the next of the object "HostSystem: property

  runtime.healthSystemRuntime.hardwareStatusInfo.storageStatusInfo

  This will give the HostStorageElementInfo table and held the State values, as seen in the VI client.

  Hope this information is useful.

• VMWare Infrastructure Client

  Is available for download form anywhere else, I looked and can't find it.

  Thanks in advance.

• VMware infrastructure client poster localhost.localdomain

  Hello

  When I connect to my esx server using vmware customer infrastrucuture I see "localhost" in the client rather than list the name of the vmware server

  any idea on how to solve this problem?

  I changed the file/etc/hosts on vmware esx server to indiciate the host name, but it still shows localhost.localdomain in client infrastructure

  When I SSH on the esx server, the shell prompt gives the correct host name

  Thank you.

  Please try now on the esx console and see if the IP address change is reflected

  service mgmt-vmware restart

  service vmware-vpxa restart

  And then log in the VIClient to see if the changes have taken place.

• Loading winders Server 2003 VMware Infrastructure Client

  Loading Windows Server 2003 via a client cd/dvd, I get the message that no hard drive is to use. I know that it is there. Any ideas?

  Make sure that your virtual computer is configured to use a SCSI LSI Logic unit and not a BusLogic SCSI disk.

  That's why you can't see the virtual disk which is presented in the installation of Windows 2003.

  Alternatively, you can use the vmscsi ERD - 1.2.0.4.flp to provide drivers for the installation of Windows 2003.

  As a note however, Windows2003 will perform best using the LSI Logic SCSI controller instead of the BusLogic controller.

• Model and options not available using VMware Infrastructure Client of cloning

  Hello, yesterday I posted in the wrong place. The administrator sets and I got a resolution of a few posters. Thank you. I have ESX 3.5 stable running on my HP Server. I also managed to install a virtual machine to Windows 2003 server and installed the VMware tools on this instance. I am so very happy. I added a second virtual machine and instead of executing Setup from a CD, I wanted to work with a model or a clone. While using the client VMWare says that I should be able to clone a virtual machine, or make a model, I don't have the option. In reading, it seems that I need Virtual Server Client. Is this correct? I'm downloading the client I think, but also wondered if this client has been designed to replace my VMWare Client on my workstation? It runs on windows XP? Or I have to build another server? My hat is off all who were able to become experts. Although the idea sounds simple enough, trying to get my head around it proved to be one of the most difficult software that I had to learn on my own. Thanks in advance for any help or pointers. Regards, Mark

  models and cloning are characteristic of vCenter.  It is a separate download, but also the price.  You will use the VIC to access your vCenter server.  The vCenter Server would be hosted on a Windows operating system.

  You can download an evaluation version which is good for 60 days.
