• adding additional disks to existing VMWare ESXi host

  If I have a VMWare ESXi host that has 2 disks configured in Raid 1 and later add more than 3 drives and configure these 3 drives in Raid 5, will host VMWare ESXi what to see and be able to use it without any settings?

  You may need to perform a new crawl, but there should be no problem. Make sure that your RAID 5 array is broken into less than 2 TB LUN. (2 TB less 512Bytes)

• Virtualized ESXi host is not assigned an IP address

  My virtualized ESXi host is not assigned an IP address on a DHCP network. I created it on my physical host with a physical NIC.

  Both its E1000 vNIC is networked with virtually the same Vswitch as the physical host, I created a second Service Console on this vswitch for the ESXi host virtualized, what I need to change the IP of virtual servers to match the newly created Service Console?

  I found a guide on changing the IP address of the vswif on the virtual host, I'm going in the right direction?

  If you run ESXi on ESX (i) then you must enable the mode promicuous on the VM host vSwitch portgroup.

• VMware ESXI host Client is not compatible with the Ipad

  Hi all

  First of all I want to say that I am very happy with the introduction of the ESXI host Client, it's a very good start for not having a vSphere client to be installed.

  One thing I was hoping too is compatible with mobile devices, for example, an IPad. Unfortunately this isn't the case. Not for IOS 8 or 9

  I tried several browsers without a bit of luck.

  There are several problems;

  • The page is not scaling properly
  • The top bar is not visible, you can, for example, sign out
  • The Web page expands when you rotate the page on the iPad horizontally, not having not not able to see the Web page complete.

  I found these problems in Tech Preview, build 2015.08.25.3015331 combined with ESXI 6 with the latest patch

  Kind regards

  Marcel

  Hi Marcel,.

  Thanks for pointing out these problems. We have made a few improvements wrt. support iPad in the last version of the adventure. Could you update and let me know how it goes?

• Adding secondary management NIC to ESXi host

  Hello

  We currently have a customer demand to add secondary management NIC to the ESXi servers ourselves and the client can connect to hosts if vCenter becomes unavailable.

  Is someone can confirm if it is feasible or will host blend and become inaccessible? Sorry if this is an obvious answer, it's just that I have never seen configuration with management NIC

  Thanks in advance.

  We currently have a customer demand to add secondary management NIC to the ESXi servers ourselves and the client can connect to hosts if vCenter becomes unavailable.

  Can clarify you what exactly you mean by that? A single management interface are accessible by some many different clients, as long as it is accessible. Are there limits where the client manages the ESXi host from an internal network and you need to access externally via public IP, another for networking?

  In this case your would create a management interface 2nd vmkernel on the external network and to face together the default route of the external gateway routing and insert static routes for the internal network using the internal network gateway. So basically the same thing you would do to any IP multi-hosted system.

• 5.5u2 ESXi host will not mount CF data warehouses

  I am the admin in a test lab, so many times I have to "make do" with what I have for the material.  I recently reassigned a R910 Dell with 64 GB memory in a 5.5u2 ESXi host.  It has some storage SAS (2.5 to) and some (CT 11) directly connected FC storage and some FC HBAs for use by VMs to send data to the tape library.

  Recently, we had a power failure, and this host does not reconnect to the CF storage when she returned to the top.  (Duty to "make do" with what I means not having is not the capabilities of UPS).  I can tell the host of HBA see it properly and sees the LUNS on RAID controllers, but refuses to mount.  I go through the add storage Wizard, and he sees that there is a store of data storage VMFS, but always refuses to mount.  I also tried to remove the redirection to the two FC HBA that have been set up for this purpose, but it made no difference.

  I have now three users unable to work because they cannot access their virtual machines on storage of this FC.  I can't even transfer them off to use the SAS storage form.

  I think it might be the cause file system damage, but I'm not sure.  Someone at - it suggestions?

  Have you ever tried to set up data warehouses from the command line (see, for example, http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1011387)?

• ESXi host does not connect more after a restart of the service LogInsight

  Hello

  I put several (5.1 U1) ESXi to use the newly installed LogInsight. they sent him their event properly. I had to restart the log service Insight. After the reboot, the hosts stopped sending events. the vcenter continued, however.

  I had to reload the syslog on the hosts to send their event to the perspicacity of newspaper.

  esxcli system syslog reload

  any idea? I guess that's not normal behavior

  Thank you

  Eric

  Hi Eric, this is unfortunately expected behavior. What you are experiencing is a bug in ESXi. More information is available in the Guide to installation/Admin under the troubleshooting log Insight section or at the following article: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2003127.

  ESXi newspapers stop arriving at the Insight Journal

  After you restart the log service Insight, ESXi hosts syslog messages stop arriving at the Insight Journal.

  Problem

  In Insight Journal configuration changes require that you restart the log Insight service. After the restart, syslog RSS of ESXi are no longer available.

  Cause

  Some versions of ESXi stop balls sending if connectivity to the remote syslog listener is stopped, even for a short moment. This problem affects the following versions of ESXi, depending on the communication protocol used.

• vSphere client using the name Netbios on ESXi host does not connect using the credentials of a Windows session

  I have 3 ESXi 5.5 hosts, all connected to a single server vCenter, where we try to authenticate directly to the host by using the windows logon credentials. I have installation of the Administrators group of ESX and filled with the admin accounts that I want to be able to authenticate to the host. The Netbios name of the domain is tstdomain (for example) where the domain name is tstdomain.com. If I connect directly to a host and check the checkbox 'Use Windows Session Credentials', the vSphere client will default by using the Netbios name of tstdomain\adminusername and the connection will fail indicating that the username and/or password is incorrect. If I enter the domain name of tstdomain.com\adminusername, I am able to connect to the host without error.

  Does anyone know how get past that this matter have the vSphere client uses the domain name or to use the Netbios name and connect with the credentials to active directory? I looked by editing the file/etc/hosts and checked that the SPN of the host is correct in active directory with the command hostname setspn - l, with no luck on one. I also tried to change the field of research for the Netbios name of tstdomain rather than the tstdomain.com domain name, also did not work.

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions on how to correct the problem.

  Seems that this issue was due to a slow network and the connection timeout when you try to talk to the domain controller. I am able to connect with windows creds now, but the connection is very slow. I increased the default period of 30 to 60 seconds to help work around the problem.

• 5.5 ESXi host is not able to connect to the network

  I installed ESXi5.5 U2. But the ESXi host grab an IP address from the DHCP server. I tried givind static IP of my office network, but still unable to connect to the network. I checked the CLI, the vmnico of the adapter is in place. Why the machine does not have an IP address?

  I started this machine from the network (available in the bios settings) and observed if an IP address is required. Then, I started the server from the hard drive. Surprisingly, it took an IP and I could connect via the network.

  After that, I plugged this NETWORK adapter to a different location on the same server. I found the same problem (do not take IP). But when once again, I did the "Network Boot" thing, it took an IP address and now it works fine.

  What is average?

  Apparently, my problem is solved, but I still don't know the reason.

• ESXi host have not of virtual machines when connected through vCenter

  Hi all

  I am facing a problem with 1 ESXi hosts. All other hosts are working properly.

  All hosts are managed by vCenter 5.1 VM. When I select this problematic host in vCenter and click on the virtual computers tab, it does not display anything other than a blank page. Then, it throws an error saying that the object has been deleted or has not completely created. The screenshot of the error popup is attached.

  However, if I connect directly to the host through the VI client, it does not throw the error and I can see the virtual machines it. If I have vmotion the vms during this host, I do not see these virtual machines via vcenter but I connect directly to the host and I can see the virtual machines. They work very well.

  What could be the cause of this problem.

  Thank you

  AG

  I would try restart the management agent on the host troubled or removing of vCenter and time.

• ESXi host does not synchronize with NTP - causes HA config failures?

  Hello

  We are currently implementing some Cisco UCS systems. We using blades Cisco UCS B200 M1 (x 5670, 48 GB of RAM)

  Everything seems to work fine except these little things, which seems to be related.

  1 NTP synchronization is not happenning, or happening very slowly.

  2. a 10 cluster host, when it is configured for HA, has many guests who fail to be configured for HA (for example we had only 2 guests get properly configured for HA out of 10).

  Initially, I thought REP 1 and 2 were not related, but then I remember reading somewhere that the ESXi host must have simultaneously for HA to work.

  On question No. 1:

  10 guests have a difference of 5-6 minutes between them. Curiously, the first hosts that are connected to a HA cluster, if their duration is similar, they wil work.

  But others are more than 1 to 2 minutes off, they will fail. Our NTP is configured on 2 internal NTP servers, which syncs with the outside world - the 2

  NTP servers are:

  The default gateway of each ESXi

  The network Core switch

  We know that the NTP servers work correctly because our advertising is synchronized with them and we checked on our domain controller local time main external time source.

  Debug information

  Output of /etc/ntp.conf

  ~ # cat /etc/ntp.conf
  restrict default kod nomodify notrap nopeer
  restrict the 127.0.0.1
  Server 10.*
  Server 10.*
  driftfile /etc/ntp.drift

  Everything has been configured through the GUI, I show the output of ntp.conf for confirmation.

  We tried to restart the hosts (without success).

  Everyone knows what we can do to solve this?

  Thank you

  You tried to restart NTP.

• Removing an unwanted program that displays on the C drive but NOT appear on the uninstall feature programs

  I need to remove gamevance from my computer and it shows on the C drive, but does not appear on the functionality of uninstalling the programs so I can't uninstall it. McAfee can not uninstall and says I need to manually add or remove programs. But since it does not appear there I can't uninstall it. Any ideas on how to uninstall it because it shows on the C drive, but does not appear on uninstall/remove programs functionality?

  Yes did not work because it would not actually be disappeared from my computer but by messing around after that you suggested, I found another person here who was sort of a similar problem and microsoft team recommends that they download a revouninstaller. If after that it still didn t in the revouninstaller but it allowed me to do a right click on the files and uninstalling this way.

  Thank you for your help and give me some ideas!
