Script by spegnimento ESXi 5.1 con VSA

• Three hosts ESXi and two Clusters VSA

  Is it possible / is there a problem with it?  I know a single cluster VSA is designed to work with two or three nodes, but is it possible to have two clusters VSA on three nodes (one of the three nodes would be two VSA groups on both nodes at the same time).  I know there is a limitation that requires an instance of vCenter by VSA cluster, but I was unable to find mention of this type of configuration.

  Thank you.

  When the VSA cluster is created, a single VSA appliance is installed on each host ESXi (2 or 3 ESXi hosts) of the VSA cluster.  The VSA appliance uses local storage of the ESXi server. If you try to create an another cluster of VSA, it won't use an ESXi server that is already a member of a cluster of VSA.  In other words, a single VSA device can be installed on a server ESXi.

• Cannot run script .pl in ESXi 4.1

  Hi all

  I want to install Nagios in VMware ESXi. But I found the problem when running the script.

  /vmfs/volumes/4d418fae-5f542615-60d7-e41f13452b96/VMware-vSphere-CLI-distrib #./vmware-install.pl
  -Ash:. / vmware - install.pl: not found

  So please suggesst me, how to install perl on it?

  My ESXi version is 4.1 build 260247

  Thanking you in advance!

  If you do an Internet search for 'orders with ESXi console' you will find many sample documentation.  The preferred method of scripting for ESXi is to use the vCLI (vSphere Command Line Interface) or PowerCLI PowerShell Add-on.  Access your host a console is more for troubleshooting purposes.

• The best location to store scripts ghettoVCB on ESXi 4.1.0

  Hello

  ESXi 4.1.0 running I don't know where I should unpack the ghettoVCB.tar.gz regarding this losing every time that I reboot the ESXi Boxing.  Could someone advise the best place to install the script ghettoVCB for so that it can survive it recharges.

• PowerCLI script for join ESXi hosts to Active Directory

  Is there a script that I can run to join the ESXi hosts Active Directory?  I have over 100 guests that I need to join AD and want to add it script instead of using the GUI VC.

  Thank you!

  Matt

  You can browse all of your servers, but you would need to make fully automated, is get the credentials somewhere.

  You have different passwords on all ESXi servers?

  In this case, you could do something like that

  $cred = get-Credential # prompt for user and password

  Get-VMHost | Set-VMHostADDomain -ADJoin:$true -Domain$domain-Credential $cred

  If you do not have the same account/password for all servers ESXi, you want probably asked for each host.

  You could possibly temporarily store in a file and read this file.

  $accounts = @ {}

  Import-Csv "C:\accounts.csv" | %{

  $accounts [$_.hostname] = $_.password

  }

  Get-VMHost | Set-VMHostADDomain -ADJoin:$true -Domain$domain-User root -Password $accounts[$_.Name]

  The CSV file contains 2 columns, called host name and the other called password.

  We read the CSV file and store the passwords in a hash table, where the host name is the key.

  We use the hash table to fetch the password of the Set-VMHostADDomain cmdlet tree.

• Clonar office en caliente between different esxi Máquinas con vmware converter

  Estoy trabajando con currently varios servidores Vmware ESXi 4.0 Update 1. Estoy utilizando VMWARE CONVERTER version 4.01 para clonar las maquinas office of United Nations (local) UN esxi datastore has otro datastore otro esxi (local). In brief espero recibir una cabina discos y versiones con vmware HA, VMOTION, etc... El problema are real as debo thank office conversion realize antes las maquinas y aun parandolas, soon mucho tiempo.

Alguien tiene the respond a mi problema? Me interesaria sober todo no thank the Máquina y saber if hay algun otro clonado procedure para delays menos tiempo.

  A saludo thanks!

  Hola,

  UNA opcion posible what me compares (tema obviando converter) that you do UN snapshoot temporal (depende del tipo mv hay than tener cuidado) y despues ' con calmed her "mueves (for example using fastscp/winscp) el fichero .vmx config y el hard store of data/esxi.

  UNA vez take her copia borras el snapshoot en el origen.

• Error clonando con vmware converter una maquina virtual en entorno esxi

  No can not copy con MVWARE CONVERTER una Máquina virtual an ESXi environment. The current situation are the following:

  -ESXi-01 Servidor con discos local con una Máquina virtual con Exchange:
  125 GB virtual disco (Disco C: 25 GB - Disco D: 100 GB).

  -REPLICA ESXi-02 Servidor con discos local con una replica (VMWARE CONVERTER) of the Máquina virtual Exchange than realizó habitualmente sin problemas.

  -El disco D of the MV of change to esta quedando sin espacio. Debo nao enlarge. VOY was the MV y creo UN segundo virtual Disco of 30 GB. Entro en el to the MV y en el administrator of clubs, realizó lo siguiente. Convierto en el disco-0 dinamico (discos logicos C y D) y los 30 GB al disco D. TODO OK momento agrego.

  -Name necessary ampliar mas los discos C y D para el futuro y realizó lo siguiente:
  1 rows with the CONVERTER of VMWARE ESXi of MV - 01 a ESXi-02 en destino generating virtual disco solo este paso UN 250 GB (Disco C: 50 GB - Disco D: 200 GB). Arranco the MV y veo that works correctamente.
  2 Desmonto el RAID Server ESXi-01 y return a montarlo al maximo el espacio ampliando. Instalo nuevo el entorno ESXi.
  3 return has con clonar the VMWARE CONVERTER MV en este caso ESX - 02 one ESX-01. Arranco MV difinitivamente ESX-01 are the Máquina en production. TODO OK.

  El problema are real in Quebec are not can not volver has the ESX - 01 one ESX-02 MV clonar. Me da los errores segun following training to realize the injerto:

  COPIANDO VIRTUAL DISCO:
  (OK) Task: Convert virtual machine
  (OK) Created the virtual machine "Exchange".
  (OK) Starting block at the level of cloning for volume "C:".
  Error: Failed to clone the drive 0 on the VM "Exchange".

  (Al 0% error)

  COPIANDO DISCOS C y d:

  (OK) Created the virtual machine "Exchange".
  (OK) Starting at the level of files cloning for volume "C:".
  Error: Failed to clone the volume "C:".
  (Al 8% error)

  Comentar than aunque teoricamente el tamano del archivo en mi entorno esxi esta limitado a 256GB, el fichero generated in origen (ESXi-01) y tambien en destino (ESXi-02) are 262 GB. ESO if, yo it solo asignado al virtual disco 250 GB.

  Hola Antonio como estas?

  No en you estoy following del todo lo estas intentando realize vamos por partes:

  • The virtual disk solo Máquina-virtual tiene a con 2 particiones. Esto are asi?
  • If the esta Máquina virtual configurada como is indica in el punto anterior lo ordered hacer're durante el proceso of conversion are seleccionar the option to create a virtual disco para cada n y esta forma evitarias el exceso en el datastore tamano
  • Otra opcion en TR of're volver a clonar Máquina sin x the size of los discos pero doing that each n is convierta en un nuevo disco y este momento el unico disco esta generating problems are el D, una las options are directly ampliar el tamano del disco (siempre y cuando los don't discos sean different y no UN disco unico particiones) y luego con diskpart mover n hasta el final del disco
  • No entiendo porque estas serve there such do disco pero TR los desmontando're por a formateo tema y cambio tamano of blocks con los puntos lo podes avoid arriba las options

• ESXi scripted install question KS.cfg

  I am trying to build a test script environment install esxi 4.1.  I can't find or get the default KS.cfg file.  The doco shows the location as /etc/vmware/weasel/ks.cfg but I can't find the file.  How to extract the image to simply get this boot file?  Why didn't they just put in the installed product as before?

  The default KS.cfg matches that in the documentation of ESXi on page 34 - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_esxi_i_vc_setup_guide.pdf

  You can just copy that since this is the exact even if you were to check out it. The default KS.cfg is also embedded in a python script in the iso ESXi 4.1, but you'll need to extract to ienviron.vgz. Copying files to a UNIX/Linux or even the ESX host and make sure that put you it in a new directory temporarily.

  You will then do the following:

  tar -zxvf ienviron.vgz
  

  Now you should see 3 new directories created: etc, lib and usr and if you cat out the file following, you will also see where the default KS.cfg is created from:

  Respecto has you, otra duda the virtualizacion don't you replicaria el raid in el destino esxi. El haya raid in el destino esxi are independiente.

  El tema del raid in el destino esxi, depende como esten configurados los discos in ese esxi local. O los discos Quarto / lun Proyectos por una cabina discos visible por el esxi

  Al final, esos nightclubs a los than tiene acceso el esxi is formatean con el sistema ficheros VMFS of Vmware (pasan a ser como lo denominator vmware, data warehouses), donde is ubicaran las maquinas office.

• Automatic deployment - unable to start correctly the ESXi 5.1 correctly on servers blade HP

  We have recently improved our vCenter to 5.1.0b and of course I wanted to update our shooting (stateless) ESXi blades immediately. It seems that it is a little more difficult, so I expected to be. The image very well construction work, HP tools are included without problems just like the pilot be2net. Except the blades I use to test my living image on the pitch at the start of the script/agents of hp - ams.sh.

  

  Then after a while, he continues, he goes to the main screen, but I am unable to use keys. I can't look at the log, it does not seem to get out of the "Screensaver" (black screen).

  

  The method that I used to generate these Images to run our stateless bladeservers has not changed at all, except that I use the image of ESXi 5.1 to build now. I have already updated all the firmware of the G7 BL460c blade, which shouldn't be a problem.

  I am also unable to view the logs during the accident, so I have no idea how to find out what could be the problem. I created a script to build ESXi images that I use to deploy automatically.

  # Add repository of VMware online so that we the last Image profiles and firmware
  Add EsxSoftwareDepot https://hostupdate.VMware.com/software/VUM/production/main/VMW-Depot-index.XML
  # Add the HP online filing to get access to all of the software packages of HP

  #
  #
  # Vars used to set the name of the profile image ESXi, basically just a time-stamped name
  $DATESTAMP = get-date-Format yyyMMdd
  # Sort profiles of online VMware image to get the last image profile
  $ImageProfiles = get-EsxImageProfile | Where-Object {$_.} Name: like "* standard *"- and $_. {Name - notlike "* s-*"} | Sort-Object "Modifieduserid" - descending
  $ImageProfile = $ImageProfiles [1]
  $PROFILEAME = "CENTRIC - $DATESTAMP" - + $ImageProfile.Name
  # Create a copy of the last image in VMware online profile
  New-EsxImageProfile - CloneProfile $ImageProfile - AcceptanceLevel PartnerSupported-name of seller "Centric" - $PROFILEAME
  # Remove the old net-be2net driver package
  Delete-EsxSoftwarePackage - ImageProfile $PROFILEAME SoftwarePackage - net-be2net
  # Add the HP of packages to our new profile picture
  Get-EsxSoftwarePackage-seller "Hewlett * | Add-EsxSoftwarePackage - ImageProfile $PROFILEAME

  # Export the profile from the image of a bundle
  Export-EsxImageProfile - ImageProfile $PROFILEAME - ExportToBundle - FilePath D:\Images\$PROFILEAME.zip

  And finally I apply the profile of the Image to an existing entry or deploy rule, but nothing helped.

  Does anyone have ideas how to debug this problem or should I just open a new case to VMware Support?

  Hello world

  The problem in my case is finally resolved. The issue was caused by not having does not host profile attached to the vCenter level, and I used the IPv4 configuration to deploy on servers of clusters/right. When I did this, the problem has been resolved.

  I had a Support case open while a loooooooong with VMware and happened to find me the solution by running in a line in the documentation Auto deploy GUI (fling) where it says Host Profiles must be attached to the level of the vCenter. Before 5.1 I've always attached to the cluster where they have been applied, and it has never been a problem. However, since 5.1 has obviously changed this behavior, it is now mandatory.

  So just to let you know, my problem with this has been resolved.

  Best regards and I really hope that this solution solves this problem for you also!

• How to back up the entire machine (including ESXI)?

  So we have a box that we install vmware (esxi?) + 2 FVO (virtual machines). One is Linux and other windows. We have the package as part of our "product". Yes, we are resellers of VMware. We then harden wmware following documentation for lock ports and updates...

  We deliver it on an IBM 3550.

  Rather than do all the installation steps every time, I want to make a backup of everything and then install everything done for the client having to change only the IP addresses and the password. Can anyone suggest how we could do that? Its a 300 GB drive, but a lot of it will be empty.

  Thanks for the pointers/direction.

  Welcome to the community - I recommend creating scripted you install ESXi host and then import the two OVFs - you can find the steps for a script install here - http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-501-installation-setup-guide.pdf including a stand-alone cd.

• Cluster of VSA: can I use vmnic separated for vMotion and HA

  Update: I should have clarified. I posted this under VSA so I assumed it was clear that the issue was linked to VSA. VSA 1.0 _automatically_ creates a network of cluster and vMotion. I don't want this configuration as I have 8 vmnic, not 4. So instead of sharing the vSwitch, I hope that I can devote the vmnic.

  If I have 8 network cards, can I use my network cards and dedicate for vMotion? For example I create an another vSwitch, then devote 2 vmnic to it.

  The manual indicates that HA will use a network other than the ESXi management network. I thought HA always use the ESXi management network?

  Thanks for Singapore

  Hi Iwan

  I found your answer on page 22

  Software requirements for ESXi in a Cluster VSA

   

  vSphere standard switch and the configuration of the port group

  Each ESXi host must only have the default vSphere standard

  switches or groups of ports that are created during the installation.

  You don't need to configure any port or additional switches

  groups.

  So, in summary, you should have at least 4 cards network

  If you have 8 NIC you can only add network cards to existing switches for additional flow/redundancy

  So changing the vSwitches/Exchange is not supported

  I would like to see what happens if you do it well

  Please allow points to useful/correct answers
