Restart VM after you restart the ESX host

Hi all

I am using VSphere Enterprise.

Here my little question, makes VMs always restart after back us running or stopping of the esx host?

In esx 3.5, when I reboot an esx host, all the virtual machines in this host are still alive (without restarting).

Pls advice

Thank you

The only way, a virtual machine can rest running when it is running on ESX server is restarted is that if FT is activated - in this case, the connections will be seamless switch to the virtual machine "shadow". This is a feature of vSphere, so I don't see how you did not the VMs restart on your ESX 3.5 - even with VMware HA environment, there will be a short break because the VMs will be will be running on the other nodes in the cluster.

  • Reboot the ESX host as possible while on VM snapshots exist?

    Can you safely do a reboot of a host ESX VM there was on this host which are off (of course), but have a snapshot exists at this time?

    Because we restart some ESX host but you also have to install some Windows updates on the virtual machine on these hosts. Normally, we take a snapshot of the WM, install updates, restart, check if everything is working fine, and then remove the snapshot. But after a reboot the ESX host we also check if the VM have started and are working very well. In this case, it would cost me 2 restart and check for WM

    When I could do the snapshots, installation of updates, power off the virtual machine, reboot the ESX host, turn on the virtual machine, all check and then delete the snapshots, it saves me time. Only thing I don't know and can't find is so it record to make a snapshot is by restarting the EX host and if the snapshot can be deleted after reboot normally.

    Welcome to the community,

    don't worry, a restart of the host is quite VMs, regardless of whether they are active or not snapshots.

  • After that I changed the Duplex parameter on NIC's Service console, I am not able to connect the ESX host

    Hi all

    Please help solve my problem.

    After that I changed the Duplex parameter on NIC's Service console, I am unable to connect the ESX host. How can I reset the 100 MB NETWORK card duplex. Can someone help me please.

    Concerning

    Vijay

    Hello

    As the bulb you have two problems that are not related.

    (1) duplex setting, your switch and NIC must match. If one is assigned to auto-negotiation, then the other must be set to auto-negotiation. Personally, I tend to let auto-negotiation unless there is an absolute reason to spend. If you then turn on the both sides of the interface, the switch port and esxcfg-NICS allows you to change the duplex, etc.

    (2) passwords for root are not related to the network unless you have also run esxcfg-auth authentication remote.  The only time I saw what you have here is when the system is configured to try to authenticate remote and not locally.

    The two problems are fixable by booting into single-user mode, set the duplex and reset the password.

  • HA does not not as expected on the ESX host

    Hello

    I have a cluster with ESX 3 (v3.5 Update4) node that is configured to use HA & Drs During a practice session to the ESX host that I found that if I simulate a hard failure of one of the nodes in the cluster, ESX all guests arriving to run on this host VM will automatically starts not themselves on another ESX host after x amount of time. What I've done so far to solve problems is the following:

    1. allowed Virtual Machine put in power under the Configuration tab on each ESX host. Then, I moved that no matter what VM Autostart submenu in there appearing. This step is repeated on each ESX host

    One thing to note after that: when the host has been stopped, the virtual machine would properly failover to another ESX host but not itself power on. I got feed manually on the client.

    2. I disabled the resource constraints under the Cluster Edition settings Menu to enable the machine to power on no matter what

    There is nothing to change the question

    3. I fiddled with the priority of restarting the virtual machine in question to see if it would help, but it made no difference

    4. I enabled Virtual Machine control and settings left to 'High '.

    It has nothing

    There are two messages that I keep seeing in the case where the window of the Cluster:

    Failure of failover for the guest in question Warning Message

    Not enough resources for the warning of the cluster failover

    There are many resources available, so I do not know whence this second message. DNS seems in good condition I can solve the hosts & guests all with success in a direct and reverse search.

    My goal here is to have the guest virtual computer turn itself on one of the other guests of the ESX cluster.

    Any help would be appreciated... Thank you

    Look in "response to isolation" on setting HA. Did you put it "Leaves the virtual machine" setting turned on or turned off?

    If market, your host another try not to put the virtual machines from the virtual machines might still running on the original host, which can cause some collide ie.swap in use, the locked configuration files & etc.

  • Power on the ESX host

    I had to reboot an ESX host, so I moved the virtual machines out of it. Put in maintenance mode and click on restart. However, after you restart the host went offline and changed his status does not. I was quite puzzled and checked the papers and of course I got [not restarted] stop the ESX host.

    My question is, do I I turn back on the ESX host remotely? Because I don't have access to the physical box itself.

    You have access to the DRAC or equivalent of IBM or the ILO. Otherwise, if the host is really turned off, the only option is to have someone physically in front of the console

  • Unable to connect to the Internet after you install the update

    My computer crashed this afternoon. I restored it since restoration, but Firefox lost disk and my Trend Micro antuvirus.  I downloaded the two products, but when I try to install them, they are trying to reconnect to the internet to complete the download.  Or the program is able to do.  I can log on the Internet and to allow them there have turned off the Windows Firewall and Windows Defender, suspecting one of them was blocking the remote connection.  I am running Windows Vista and IE8.  When I Windows Update, I lose all internet connections and have to use system restore to go back before the updates.

    Original title: remote connections

    Hi Cauvagee,

    Check out who are the updates which has been installed on the computer before that the problem began, later, uninstall it and check if that helps.

    1. Open installed updates by clicking on theStart button, clickingControl Panel, clickingPrograms and then underPrograms and features, clickingView updates installed. Note the number KB for the updates have been installed before this problem started.
    2. Select the update that has been installed and uninstall the updates one by one and check the update which is at the origin of the problem.

    Step 3

    Once you take note of the update that causes this problem, you can download the stand-alone version of the update on your desktop and try to install it manually and check to see if it helps you to solve the problem of internet access. To download the standalone version of windows updates follow the steps below:

    a. take note of the update with the Ko only when your computer tries to update and install it.

    b. visit the following Microsoft Web site:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/Search.aspx

    c. search by downloading the update.

    d. save it on the desktop.

    e. try to install it manually.

    If the problem persists after you have installed the stand-alone version of update, you can try to start the computer in safe mode with network and check if you can connect to the internet and post back the result. To boot to the desktop in safe mode keep tapping key F8 during restart. Once you see the option to start it in safe mode with select network and press ENTER.

  • Adding data to the ESX host store

    Hi all

    We are automating the process of adding data to the esx host store. We have all the necessary inputs as a host, Cluster, data center, data store name, store (VMFS) Pat data.

    Do we have the cmdlets to get the result? What is the data store should be added after the configuration of the network?

    We need confirm that the data store must be there in vcenter/Cluster?

    Please help explain the process.

    If the LUNS on which these data warehouses are defined are zoned and correctly configured as a shared, they become automatically visible on the ESXi node.

  • Naming of the ESX hosts with the underscore. Best practices?

    I was curious as to what that the general eager to name the ESX hosts with underscores "_". I found an old post in 2006 related to it:

    http://communities.vmware.com/thread/64885

    In the thread, it is usually frowend against because she not compling with DNS internet naming standards. The underscore character is not recognized by the Web servers.

    He has been wondering if there would be no advantage to include similar underscore characters with no routable ip subnets, 192.168.x, 10, etc...

    If you have designed it correctly you already have your hosts on a subnet that is not routable, so you would get no real benefit.

    Beyond this thought experiment, there are problems with your esx host with ESX, vSphere, vCenter naming universe underscores?

    Just an info

    All my guests have underscore in them. I had to replace all of them with a dashboard because ESX 4.1 will not accept underscore after upgrade to the console.

  • Move the ESX host again VC, VM permissions is needed

    @all:

    I have a big problem with the permissions on the virtual machine.

    Due to the fact that I created a new VC, I want to spend the ESX host for the new Victoria Cross. No problem, but it the individual permissions for VM to disappear.

    Well, I'm looking for a script powershell read/grouping, the name of the virtual machine and the permission is assigned (like the tab authorization VC). After the removal of the host, I would like to add the permissions to the virtual machine.

    Probably something with "AuthorizationManager" but I can't make it work...

    Any help is appreciated

    THX

    If you want to only read permissions for virtual machines in a specific data center do you it like this

    $serviceInstance = get-view ServiceInstance
    $authMgr = get-view $serviceInstance.Content.authorizationManager
    $report =@()
    
    # Read and list all permissions for VMs in Datacenter

    Try changing the line where the script retrieves the VMHost to this

    $vmhosts = get-VMHost-State connected. Name sort

    This way the script will be only to ESXi nodes that are "connected".
