• Mixed ESXi hosts in cluster?

  Hi all

  Running a cluster of 4 guests with ESXi 4.1.0 build 260247.  Have two new guests, I would like to add to this cluster.  From what I can tell, running ESXi 4.1.0 build 348481 on these hosts should not be a problem.  It would last less than a day or two, as former guests will be promoted to the same version/construction of ESXi, if time permits.  All the world run into a similar situation with negative results?

  Your insight would be greatly appreciated!

  Kind regards

• Remove host vCenter (cluster)

  I need to remove hosts in cluster 1 vCenter inventory (completely / permanently), then add them to the inventory of an another vCenter.  It is for reasons of SRM-prep (fyi as to why I'm doing this in the first place).

  Is it possible (in charge) to Remove a host cluster (and its virtual machines) among a vCenter inventory given WITHOUT putting it in Maintenance Mode first, then withdrawal?  Reasoning is that the cluster in question has only 2 hosts and I don't want to host rest having to run all the virtual machines (or I want to stop the virtual machines).

  In the end, I need a way to REMOVE (from first vCenter) 2 hosts in cluster, so they will be briefly/temporarily independent/no managed until you add the second vCenter.

  Wait - I just thought to / tested something that seems to do the trick (?) --

  ' 1. ' disconnect ' the first vCenter host cluster.
  2. once in a disconnected state, right-click and 'delete '.  This frees licenses, etc. and basically makes the host "unmanaged" until added to vCenter another yet, but retains all of its VMS running etc and has no ill side effects-, or so it seems.

  If the "Disconnect" approach is real/valid, this goes against my training/point of 'classic' view that a host given-in order to be removed from a cluster or even more, vCenter himself-MUST be put in first to leave maintenance mode.

  Thoughts/confirmation/warnings?

  the disconnection and removal works perfectly.  The virtual machine will continue to function.  Once independent, "add host" in your new environment.

• Restore access to My Documents after reinstalling XP, I get the message: 'access denied '.

  Original title: restore access to My Documents after reinstalling XP

  Recently, I acquired a virus with which Microsoft Security Essentials could not cope.  Then one day the computer refused to start.  I wrongly assumed that my hard drive was dead, so I installed a new HD and reinstalled Windows XP.  [Actually, I first tried the upgrade to Windows 7, because program upgrade windows 7 Microsoft has already said that my computer was compatible... but Windows 7 disk says otherwise!]  Then I tried to install the HD original in an another drive Bay and discovered it still worked, but I could not boot from it.  Apparently, the virus has killed the OS (Windows XP) but my files, programs and documents are still there.  The problem is that when I try to access my old "My Documents" folder, I get the message: 'access denied '.  I believe that this is because the files are stored in a password protected user account.  I know the password, but I do not know how to access the files.

  I tried to create a user account on my new HD (with the operating system Windows XP reinstalled) with the same name and the password that I used on my original (with the Windows operating system XP corrupted) HD to create all the document files.  However, opening a session with this account name and password did NOT restore my access to the My Documents folder on my original hard drive.

  I'm out of ideas.  Help, please!

• Restore data from a CD after format hard drive. Backup and Restore Center.

  I had a virus problem in my system.  I was asked to back up the data before they formatted my hard drive.  I used the backup and restore - 33 CDs Center.  After picking up my computer (they have reinstalled the operating system - Vista), I was unable to restore my data.  When I try to restore it, I get this message "there are no backups available on this computer.

  Hi happythinker321,

  1. How did you create the backup?

  You will need to use the advanced restore feature and check if it works.

  1. open the Center to backup and restore by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then click backup and Restore Center.

  2. click on Advanced Restore Options. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  3. click on files from a backup made on a different computerand then follow the steps.

• Number of hosts per cluster limit VMFS

  I can't find a decent answer to this question.  In versions, earlier we are limited to 8 hosts per cluster when using VMFS data with view warehouses.  All this changed with the advent of vSphere 5.5 or 6 view Horizon?  Looking at a bunch of documentation, I see that in vSphere specifications 5.1, it says "32 hosts (VMFS + NFS).  However, in the specifications of vSphere 5.5, he States '32 hosts', with not the Tag-Along "VMFS + NFS".

  Someone at - there no hard document about this?

  Thank you!

• How to change an effective policy in host and Cluster mode?

  HI -.

  I struggle to change policy effective default on 'Custom' in vCOPS host and Cluster view.

  I notice that I can go to the view of the group, create a group and associate a strategy with the group.
  But I don't want to use groups. I like the host and Clusters main view and prefer to be able to change an effective policy on a live cluster from this point of view.

  Possible?

  Type r

  Björn.

  Hello Björn.

  Only groups can be used to associate a policy customized to objects.

  Thank you

• Add host to cluster: "Timed Wait vpxa to start."

  I have a group of 15 guests ESXi 5.0, with a 5.1 vCenter / Enterprise Plus license. This works well for some time, but two of my guests have been disconnected from tonight and am now troubleshooting.

  When I go to reconnect them, I get an error saying that "a general system error: timed out waiting for start vpxa» I did some research and found that it was generally linked to snapshots, but none of the virtual machines on one of my hosts not connectable have snaps at all.

  I tried:

  -Restart services vCenter

  -Restart vCenter

  -Restart the services on the host

  -Reboot friendly hosts

  -Reboot hard and cold hosts

  -Switch off all virtual machines on the hosts and pass by the maintenance mode

  -DNS works between hosts and vCenter and vice versa

  -Time is correct on the hosts and vCenter

  -Network connectivity between hosts and vCenter is good (all on the same switch)

  However, nothing seems to work, and I can not add these hosts on my cluster. What is strange, is that I can connect directly with vSphere, but I can't get them back in my vCenter. I spend the usual guests when add (where you are asked to assign a license, etc.) and he sees the virtual machines on the host I add, but the time out with this error after 5 minutes.

  Any ideas would be much appreciated.

  AHA! I found this article which he sorted:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2031894

  Note that (for Googling useful), you will need chmod 777 /etc/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg before you can edit it and then chmod 444 it over once. Restarted the vpxa service and I could add the host again.

• Cannot add hosts again Cluster?

  Here's the situation:

  3 servers to new ESX 4.0 I am wanting to add to a new brand

  cluster I created. I activated the cluster for HA, DRS and VCA

  and to add these 3 guests to it.

  I get the message error "the name 'host_name' already exists.

  This may be the cause? The documentation I've read, he says that

  a best practice to create an empty cluster first and then turn it on

  features that you want such as VCA, etc. and then add the hosts.

  I'm doing it, but I'm not having any success because of this error.

  Also, as a note aside... when I go through the add hosts Wizard and it

  Gets the license section. I have 2 options... Choose the mode of assessment

  or choose from a list of existing licenses... the problem is that the

  List of licenses... in this case 3 for guests I have already install

  with their appropriate licenses are grayed out. I can't select the

  licenses, so I leave the assessment and move. Is this normal?

  I appreciate all help... Thank you!

  Are you a right click on the evc cluster and by selecting Add a host?  If the host already exist in the virtual Center, just drag and drop them on the new cluster.  Ant add you host twice to vcenter.

• How to restore the hosts back to normal file

  "I edited my file hosts with the notebook with the extension".txt ". However, I can't edit my file hosts its original file extension name, which has no name. To change my hosts file to open it with Notepad, the name of the file extension ".txt" has disappeared and I can't change my hosts back to normal file.

  This means that my modified hosts file has no effect... How can I fix it?

  Hello!

  To open the hosts file:

  In Notepad - menu file-> Open-> C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC

  under type of "File Name." * to see all files; Select the host from the list.

  To save a file in Notepad without notebook by adding the extension ".txt" filename you gave, type the name of the surrounded file "" under file-> save as.

  Ex: "hosts".

• Center of missing data, host and cluster option

  I just installed esx 4.1 and find how to add a data center, host or a cluster.  The only thing that shows in vsphere client is the host.  No option to add yet another.  Any ideas?

  Can you explain your configuration a bit more?

  > Interesting.  How is it?  I mean when running the server and the connection with to the esx vsphere, why would it matter?

  Running the server - do you mean ESX?

  Connection with vSphere - do you mean the vSphere client?

  > Also what would be the best way to install this, esx, or on another non virtualized server?

  Do you mean vCenter Server? If so, either works, but the best practice is to install on ESX.

  vCenter Server is the component of management of the ESX/ESXi hosts. The notation of the Datacenters, Clusters and multiple hosts is present in vCenter Server. ESX/ESXi is a single hypervisor and have only the ratings of the virtual machines, networks, and data warehouses (i.e. local functions to the host). I hope this helps.

• VCenter automatically restores the SQL DB connectivity after interruption?

  We run vCenter 4.1 on WIndows 2008 R2. vCenter uses a separate server running SQL2008 database.

  The database server recently had interview and restarted. I guess it was down for 5-10 minutes at most. After SQL server has been for some time, I was still unable to connect and was forced to restart the vCenter server to restore connectivity. This has happened both production vCenter (physical server) and the vCenter lab (VM). Both use the same external SQL Server.

  If it's normal, I'll just add a pre - req for the vCenter before DB updates, but wanted to check that others experience the same behavior.

  Hello.

  I'm following the same practice as Troy here.  I saw vCenter sometimes survive a reboot of the db and other times not.  For me, the incompatibility is unacceptable and I plan accordingly.

  Good luck!
