Remove the host vDS

Hello

Somehow I lost connectivity between vCenter and vSphere host. Then I run esxcfg-vswitch - l and I could see a vDS I had previously throug vDS switch config on vCenter. I tried to remove it with the esxcfg-vswitch command but I went out: "No such virtual switch" although I see when I run the command 'esxcfg-vswitch - l ". Is it possible to delete this item because my vswif0 is not accessible more I got it as a grouped under Port Group vDS and vDS (vmnic0 and vmnic1), but now I can't access it. Are there any command line for vDS?

Thanks in advance

Please see the best documents referred to vDS migration:

The recovery to an ESX host procedure involves moving from vswif to a new temporary vs management interface. Access to the server management is necessary thanks to ILO or KVM physically connected to the server interface. After the management of connectivity is estored, use the vSphere Client to continue setting up virtual network.

Step 1: Connect to the ESX host.

Step 2: Create a new temporary vSS (tmpSwitch) and the port (vswifPg) group

esxcfg-vswitch - a tmpSwitch

esxcfg-vswitch - a tmpSwitch vswifPg

Step 3: Move the uplink of vDS to vSS

esxcfg-vswitch - l (to get names DVSwitch, DVPort and vmnic)

esxcfg-vswitch - Q vmnic0 v < dvPort > < dvSwitch > (untie the vDS vmnic0)

esxcfg-vswitch - L vmnic0 tmpSwitch (link to vswitch)

Step 4: Move vswif to vDS in vSS

esxcfg-vswif - l (get vswif IP address, netmask, dvPort id, etc.)

esxcfg-vswif vswif0 d

esxcfg-vswif - a n-i < ip address > < vswifPg > Pei netmask vswif0

Check or change the default gateway address editing sysconfig or add gateway address by default with:

route add default gw < gateway address >

  • How to remove a VM inventory in vcentre when the host is down

    Hi guys,.

    We had a power outage today where one of our physical ESX host is dead (we have 2 VM cluster hosts).  HA/DRS unfortunately does not work as there are insufficient resources to automatically migrate the virtual machines on the host failed through to the host remaining (another separate question that I will not here address)

    when the hsot went down, virtual machines have been left in the market, but were in a disconnected state (see table).  I read that you can reallocate virtual machines to another host by 'navigate to the data store and do a right-click on the vmx file and click Add to inventory and select the host. " (Ref: ) http://communities.VMware.com/thread/173314 )

    However when I browse to the data store, the option 'Add to inventory' has also dimmed.  I suspect (Please confirm) that he wwas because the virtual machine in question was still at the "running" State  problematic, because that disconnected/running state, I could not close it out vcentre gui (or console, as host was dead)

    can someone tell me how - if possible - can I migrate the virtual machine to another host, while in the situation described above?

    If this is not possible for future situations where the host is lost, I would be better together virtual machine to stop? (this would allow me to reassign the vms can?)

    see you soon

    The virtual machine will remain in the host inventory and disappear once you remove the host to vCenter inventory. What you then do - at least that's what I would probably - to be able again to power on virtual machines is to register the virtual machine to other hosts on the server vCenter Server (click right the VM .vmx file and choose 'Add to inventory')-after the correction of the host and before adding it again to vCenter Server - connect directly to this host and then delete the virtual machine already 'moved' from his inventory.

    What you need to do after registration of VM for other hosts is to check the VM based backup applications (if used), because the virtual machine will receive new ID.

  • Lab Manager 4 will not release the license after the removal of host.

    Hey there,

    I am running Lab Manager 4 in my infrastructure.  I recently added a lot of CPU 2 and licensed.  Shortly after, I removed the host of Lab Manager, but he has not published the 2CPUs of licensing - which means that I am able to use my license 2CPU part to add new hosts.

    No idea how I can get the license for free?

    Thank you!

    You must "unprepare" this ESX host in the laboratory Manager.

    The 'prepare' function consumes your license, and similarly "unprepare" frees.

    This ESX host appears in the overall organization > resources > Hosts?

  • How can I remove the homegroup to my desktop icon?

    How can I remove the homegroup icon that suddenly appeared on my desktop Windows 8

    I know and respect the fact that Sharief K is a Microsoft Support Engineer. but he doesn't know what he's talking about as a Microsoft Support engineer or he didn't understand the question.

    However, here's how to solve the problem in the right way...

    Question about this community newsletter is:

    (Windows 8) How can I remove the 'host group icon"from the desktop?

    Answer:

    1 right-click somewhere on the desktop that is free of icon/s with the left button of the mouse.
    Select "Customize" in the context menu, which will take you to the selection of window customize.

    2. Select "Change desktop icons" in the area of the hand at the top left of this window.  A "Change desktop icons" dialog (context menu) is displayed.

    3. Note the box on the left of the 'network' is checked.  Uncheck the box and then left click of the mouse will apply.

    4. at this point, the 'host group icon"will be removed from the desktop.  Now again check the box to the left of the 'Network' and then the mouse left click apply.

    And your all set.  That is of course until what you restart your computer, in which case this problem will happen again.  Gives one does not want to restart its system ever if you have Windows 8.

    On a more personal note, I am A +, Network +, MCP and a Bachelor's degree in electronic engineering technology and experienced Microsoft since 1992 when I always still served in the U.S. Army.  Sorry, but I am appalled and disgusted with the OS of Windows 8 not to mention Microsoft Office.

  • How to remove ESXi host of Distributed Switch

    3 Cluster DRS - 1 x physical, 2 nested nodes in a LAB environment

    I need to downgrade a 6.0 U2 ESXi host and replace it (from ESXi nested in Physics). I am trying to remove the host from a distributed switch, but it seems that I can't do that until I remove it from the Distributed Switch. I can't remove the VMkernel group management ports that prevents me to remove the host from the Distributed Switch. Any suggestions? I guess that I need that migrate to a Standard switch first?

    I am connected to the ESXi host through vSphere Client, migrated the group management to a Standard switch ports, then I was able to clear the host of the distributed switch. I could then remove the host from the Cluster.

  • Uninstalling vshield app requires a restart of the host?

    We are upgrading vsphere 5.1 to 5.5 and plan to uninstall apps vshield to do a fresh install.  We will migrate the hosts, but not vshield apps, then install new applications in the environment of 5.5...

    Thank you!

    -anne

    Hi Anne,.

    Uninstalling vShield app requires the host to restart and you keep the VMs and then uninstall of vShield manager. This will remove the filters from the NIC--> modules to remove the host, followed by restart.

    If your cluster tolerates the failure of the single host, you can do without virtual machine downtime.

  • Remove the IP vcenter esx

    Hello

    I have an esx who had one installed on vcenter. I remvived the vcnter and now if I connect to esx I get message saying that the IP 10. 133 runs vcenter for this esx has even thought that I removed the ther vcenter.

    How can ifix it?

    THX

    I think that you are referring to the warning message when connecting to a host directly with the vSphere client.

    This message is just saying that this host is managed by the vcenter Server. You can completely manage the ESXi.

    You can remove the host from the vcenter server, then this warning message will disappear.

  • How to remove Cluster hosts in vCenter

    We have a VMware vCenter 5.5 license that is about to expire, and while we re-new the vCenter license, I have to take all the VMS that are associated with a group called:

    Orlando (site) > staging (cluster) > 10.1.1.13 (home) > testbox1 (vm)

    I need to remove the (host) (cluster) above. I can do this by typing "Mode of Maintenance", which then moves the (vm) to another host in the staging (cluster). Problem is when I go out "Maintenance Mode", (pole) is placed in staging and the virtual computer is moved to the staging (cluster) > 10.1.1.13 (host). This is NOT what I want. I want to delete all hosts in staging (clutser) independently in vCenter before my vCenter license expires.

    Can anyone please explain or help me do this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Carlos,

    Hope that you use the web client.

    Basically, the question is, you must remove a host in a cluster have DRS and HA.  To remove a HOST

    Put the HOST in maintenance mode - > check all VM's was able to move to another HOST, then right-click and disconnect, finally right click and delete.

    If you need to keep the virtual machine to the same physical host and you have properly configured a standard switch.

    Click with the right button on the cluster and DRS recommendation opt for manual. maintenance mode, then right click and then disconnect, finally just right-click and delete.

    hope this helps you.

  • Management network with a different IP address than the host?

    I want to isolate network traffic from my VM traffic management.  My host is on the same VLAN as the majority of my virtual machines.  Can I change the core IP network management to be different from that of my host?  Or am I stuck change IP / VLAN my hosts to something else...

    Yes, you will lose the connection to vcenter. Ideally, remove the host to vCenter, change IP and it readd back (vcenter will need access to this vlan 200 also).

  • Remove ESXi hosts to vCenter Cluster host even

    Hi all. Depending on the subject, I would like to remove the host from an old Cluster vCenter which is no longer accessible because the database is damaged. Unfortunately I can not not to restore it because my predecessor scheduled backups. How can I do? Thank you all in advance for your answer.

    All the information you have provided, I suppose there could be something in the ADAM database, which must be deleted / reset.

    The assignment of license keys is stored in the ADAM database (rather than in the vCenter Server database) and with the new installation of server vCenter on the same host (old) this may not have been reset. Please take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1015268 to see if this KB will help resolve the issue.

  • Questions VC... Add the host to the new CR?

    If I have problems with my VC server. It does not start for some reason, so I'm building a new. The question I have, is if my 6 ESXi hosts were connected to this VC how would I so that they know the new Victoria Cross? I know that the right way to add hosts to a new Victoria Cross would be to disconnect and then remove them from the existing VC. Any thoughts?

    Thank you.

    If you cannot disconnect and remove the hosts of the other environment, simply ' add host' in the new.  You will receive a message saying something to the effect of «Eastern host is managed by a different vCenter...» Once you add the new host vCenter inventory, you'll be fine.

  • Removed the malware system tool, now a problem remove/repair file HOSTS. \etc folder disappears and reappears

    Used MBAM to remove SystemTool, I'm prompted to delete, and then replace the HOSTS file.  I can find it in the \etc folder and delete it, but when I use the window "save under" to replace it, I have one establish a path to the extent of the \drivers, and when I click it, there is no \etc folder.  If I restore the HOSTS file and go again to remove it, there are the \etc folder.  Need to market-thru of a fool for this problem.  That's the limit of my computer expertise (or lack of same), so please remember that, in your response.

    Thank you!

    This FixIt will allow you to reset your HOSTS file to the default value for Windows:

    If you still have problems later, it may be that the threat is always resident (because not all active traces have been removed). I suggest that you post a topic on theForum of Malware MBAM , because experts it can interpret your MBAM log and suggest other programs for analysis that will determine if the system tool is still there or if it came with the other 'buddies' who resisted the abduction:
