• Support for the older ESX host matrix

  We have an old server vCenter used to support our ESX 3.5 hosts. The server running VirtualCenter 2.5.0 Build 227637. While we are in the middle of the decommissioning of the environment, we recently received ownership of several former ESX 3.0.1 hosts. I can't find any documentation to show that VirtualCenter 2.5.0 taken in charge. I'll be able to add these hosts in our VirtualCenter? Thank you.

• ESX 4.1 on work/pick-up station supported for 64-bit guests

  First off I started on the path to my VCP. I never really knew that all that VMWARE could make up to a little forced in the equation to learn and master as soon as possible. Very impressed by what I've seen so far. Workstation is a fabulous tool and ESX is visible as a very powerful.

  Sorry if this is the bad forum\has was discussed.

  I built environments at home using the workstation 7. With the help of Intel i7 930, 12 GB ram, windows 7 64 bit, VT turned on in the bios.

  I built an ESX Server in workstation. I SSH'd in my ESX Server and downloaded an ISO file of Windows 2008 R2 64-bit edition. I can show in the properties of the cd and to boot from the ISO image of my data store. When I power on the virtual machine, I get an error saying that VT technology must be activated... continue without support 64-bit.

  Can I run 64-bit servers in a virtualized (huh?) virtual environment (ESX4 loaded into my computer, then created in ESX virtual machine)

  It is not that big of a deal if I don't want to form an understanding as to why this is not possible. Thank you all

  • Only 32-bit clients can be installed to run as virtual machines nested within an ESX host. These virtual machines can only be configured to use binary translation.

• esx host does support RAID ATA?

  hardware requirements host ESX said, "RAID adapters supported are HP Smart Array, Dell's Perc and IBM ServeRAID controllers"

  Does include ATA RAID? If it supports RAID ATA, I use 2 disks or more to in my local machine to an ATA RAID supported by esx host storage. It work?

  Thank you.

  It does not support ATA controllers I know.

• Question ESXi 5.5 with turn a virtual computer: "an error was received from the ESX host turning on VM" '22 (Invalid argument)"'DiskEarly on a power Module failed.'

  Here's what happens when you try to turn it on one of my virtual machines (see also accessories):

  22 (invalid argument)

  This circumstance may be linked to a sata cable issue, with the possibility of temporary loss of connectivity, which could result in data loss/corruption, I realize.  It is a laboratory box.  Especially say that the 2 VMDK he complains (trying to light) is both on the grounds of a single physical disk. Data, read and written to the speaker, since the problem are very good (which indicates the wiring problem was resolved, and the VMFS5 file system seems to be in good health).

  No photos.  No related clones.  Just a 2012 Windows Server based VM, with several drive letters in, with those underlying files VMDK residing on different stores of data VMFS5.  Implemented end (these drives aren't really so huge), but far from running out of physical space for the data either. Everything is working great for months, until today, trying to it turns on again.

  but alas, none of them seem to relate directly, or exactly.  My vmware.log file is attached below, as well as some screenshots of to show the structure of the unity of this virtual machine.  Hoping that this post proves fruitful, if anyone has had a similar situation.  The data at stake here are (mostly) redundant, but I would rather understand my way of it, in the case where it happens to me again, or can help others.  Many preferred rather than give up, reformat the VMFS and start again.

  Thank you!

  Good news, the best result I could hope. No data is lost. No corruption of the VMFS or NTFS don't drive in the virtual machine. Nice!  Saved me a few terabytes of data restoration and learned a little more on file system of troubleshooting along the way.

  It took a technician of VMware Service excellent, attentive, methodical remote 2 hours in a WebEx previously to resolve problems with these 2 files vmdk manually, because he found that there is a lock on them. I opened a request of Service (SR) # with VMware by following the instructions here:

  VMware KB: Cannot access certain files on a VMFS datastore

  I'll cover this saga and the exact process for collecting and downloading of newspapers, through to my TinkerTry.com, including the ride video.  I even captured much of the technical work that has been done. That said, it is true that little of the magic that was made to resurrect the metadata will remain a mystery, given that this piece is VMware.

  I'm ok with a bit of black box, considering how I'm happy that I got all my data, and time savings that the quick recovery represented.

• ESX as a virtual machine on an ESX host

  Currently, I am installing ESX as a virtual machine on an ESX host. I have a couple of hosts potentially put this VM: two 4.0 in the course of execution, one running 4.1. I would like to run this VM on the host running 4.1, and the virtual machine must run 4.0. Thanks to my documentation and research of compatibility, I found that it is not supported as an operating system to run in a virtual machine under ESX ESX, but it's for the workstation and fusion. I read on some blogs that ESX install as a virtual machine on an ESX host is possible (at least on older versions), but comes with a few problems, which have no workaround. I found (external) positions regarding do all this with the 4.0, but my preference would be to do with 4.1 on the host and 4.0 on the virtual computer. I can't find something to do with 4.1, which is not surprising given that the upgrade became available less than two weeks ago. Does anyone tried it yet? Is there anything, you have found or recommend as I approach to do this? (I read that the virtual computer must be configured as a computer virtual running RHEL 5 with 2 GB of RAM http://when all this is done with version 4.0, but I was not able to find much more.) Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions!

  Hello

  Yes, I tried last week and it worked for me. You are on the right track, we must select RHEL 5 64-bit as OS and assign the 2 GB of ram, and in addition to sound, you will need to use E1000 NICs for the installation to complete.

  FYI, this configuration is not taken in charge/tested/certified by VMware.

  Hope this information helps

• Is it possible to add an ESX host less CPU

  Hello

  Currently in my farm, I have four Dell R900 ESX host. They have (4) Quad Core Procs and 128 GB of memory. Can I add an additional R900 server that does that (2) Quad Core Procs? I will strengthen the memory based on the existing, but processors are simply too expensive. HA and DRS will manage the differences in the number of procs?

  It is a statement of official support for the use of the CPUID of the forest SSSE3 mask.  Setting this bit can hide the SSSE3 instructions, allowing you to vmotion vm from a server on the 'A' list to a list of 'B', but is not supported by VMware.  While masking is generally safe, the process only "occult" bits for applications that use the CPUID instruction to generate a list of features that a processor is capable of.  If an application does not CPUID use to verify functionality and use them in any case, then you have a problem, that's why this mask is not supported.  Hope that makes sense.

• WWPN or WWNN ESX host are stored as numbers long.  How can I work with these values?

  I need to update our database of the machine with the WWPN and WWNN of each ESX host.  These are stored in the form of long integers.  What is the correct way to deal with a long integer as a partner to a 64-bit mac?  Is there a mechanism within vRO for this?  If the number has been stored as a string, that I could work with her, but when I try to convert using. toString(), I find myself with an incorrect value.

• ESX host is not responding

  Hello

  now, I have a problem.

  a customer has 3 blade IBM HS23.

  because in the course of the last 7 months I had 4 times the host esx became offline / insensitive

  all the vm continue to operate therefore continues to operate production

  ESX host do not react on SSH connection or telnet

  I can connect after pressing F2 and F12, but then the host everything crashes

  I can't connect to the vi to the ESX host client either.

  all hosts are installed on the IBM's USB drive

  the only thing to solve it is to off the blades and start again

  also random sound. I had 3 months running good, good running 1 day and 3 weeks running good

  the vpxd.log file displays only the waiting times to communicate with the esx host and then the error offline

  already updated all my firmware (chasis, blades, storage, fiber brocade and IBM switches)

  I started with vsphere 5.5 u1 U1 and ESXI 5.5 IBM. already updates on vsphere 5.5 U2 and 5.5 ESXi vmware u2 (since ibm doesn't have an ESXi custom 5.5 u2)

  im stuck... lil last event is on 16/01/2015 (and ibm will not support since there only subscription for 3 years and no software support contract)

  one last point, I'm under bacup veeam and 7.x replication but don't see a problem there.

  Thanks in advance.

  I found the problem

  I've restarted only iSCSI data store and all ESXi hosts becomes sensitive

  so, after searching for the qnap forum I noticed that they have released an update on 29/01/2015

  test of the firmware now and see what happens

  If this fails, I guess the qnap ts - 469L is not taken in charge more for vsphere 5.5

  Thank you all for the suggestions

• Cannot add an NFS share on my ESX host.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  You have configured the Windows NFS share like that?

  

  With the esxcli command, below, I could mount the part mentioned above without any problems. Note that I put the root access bit allow under the Advanced NFS share permissions. Who can solve your problem if you have not activated it.

• the upgrade from 4.1 to cluster 5.5 / 5 esx host.

  We currently have 4 noise.running to host esx 4.1.0. (esx 1,2,3 (former host) and 4 (new purchase) and a server vcenter 4.1)

  We bought another esx host 5.

  I want to upgrade all hosts in the cluster with version 5.5, but I don't think that esx 1 and 2 meet the hardware requirements. This is why only 3/4 can be improved.

  I think we can get budget to replace this year laster host 1 and host 2, next year.

  What should be the best way to upgrade the cluster (you can buy another host this year and next year a plus).  Can I run 4.1 and 5.5 in the same group (I understand its not recommended).

  Thanks in advance.

  Thank you, yeh, I check host 1/2 can support up to esxi 5 version.

• Add several NFS data stores to multiple ESX hosts

  I am trying to write a script that will set up several NFS exports to multiple ESX hosts. Here is the script I use, it will add an NFS export to an esx host list.

  $esx = (get-Content servers.txt)

  {}
  $Host_Name = (Read-Host "enter the server (ex: storage-san)")
  $Path = (Read-Host "enter the path (ex: / ds_name/flight/flight)")
  $Name = (Read-Host "Enter the name of the data store")

  {foreach ($server in $esx)
  $Error.Clear)
  Get-VMHost $server | New-Nfs Datastore - NfsHost $Host_Name-path $Path - name $Name | Out-Null
  If ($error.count - gt 0) {$error | out-file ($server, 'c:\powershell scripts\logs\' + '.txt')}
  }

  $add_more = Read-Host "want to show you another data store?
  }
  While ($add_more - eq 'Yes' - or $add_more - eq "y")

  This script actually works OK but I can't just she kick sending and walk. If I have 10 stores of data to add, I have to wait for the current to the end, and then type the information for the second, etc..

  I was hoping just to type all the information from the beginning and the shot of the script to the wide and let him go. Here is what I added, you can see where I'm going with this?

  $esx = (get-Content servers.txt)

  $num_mounts = (Read-Host "Do you have multiple media")
  If ($num_mounts - eq 'Yes' - or $num_mounts - eq "y")
  {
  $mounts = @(Read-Host "supports différents combien avez_vous")

  #prompt me for all the different right monte upwards before and then executed by the actual task of Mount...
  }

  Any ideas?

  Try something like this

  $servers = @()
  $paths = @()
  $datastores = @()
  
  $answer = Read-Host "Enter another NFS mount ?" while($mount -eq "y"){
      $servers += Read-Host "Enter the NFS host"    $paths += Read-Host "Enter the path"    $datastores += Read-Host "Datastore name ?"    $answer = Read-Host "Enter another NFS mount ?"}
  
  $Error.Clear()
  
  Get-Content servers.txt | %{
      $esx = Get-VMHost -Name $_    $countNFS = $servers.Count
      if($countNFS -ne 0){
          0..($countNFS - 1) | %{
              New-Datastore -Nfs -NfsHost $servers[$_] -Path $paths[$_] -Name $datastores[$_] | Out-Null            if($Error.count -gt 0){
                  $Error | out-file ('c:\powershell scripts\logs\' + $server + '.txt')
                  $Error.Clear()
              }
          }
      }
  }
  

  The script reads all the data in the tables.

  Then it loops through all ESX hosts from the servers.txt file, and for each host, it will create all the NFS data storages.
