• Monitoring selected VM, ESX, cluster hosts

  Hello

  I check if it is possible to select the specified ESX host or Virtual Machines to monitor instead of pulling all the VMS and hosts in Foglight? Thank you.

  Kind regards

  Jamie.

  You can via a user name, but we do not support that.  The problem lies in the case you have a virtual machine, and then you forget about the potential problems with the host.  If you have only a few hosts, it could miss part of a cluster or something else using the storage...  There are many cases where not having not any data could cause problems, so we don't support all a vCenter.

• Replicate a virtual machine between an Intel host computer and an AMD

  Does anyone has experiences with using vSphere replication to replicate a virtual machine between Intel server cluster and a cluster of servers AMD?

  I asked myself this question the other day and unfortunately I have Intel hosts in my lab to test/demo so can not perform checks...

  I know that the only safe way to migrate a virtual machine from one host to Intel to a host of AMD is to use migration cold (ie the power off of the virtual computer), but that also applies if you use replication as a tool of "migration."

  I am aware vSphere replication can occur only if the source THAT VM is turned on, as it will make a copy of the initial/seed and then use CBT for replication of the changes... but because the goal of VM is turned off, I am correct in assuming that it is a form of "cold migration"?

  It works with the solution of Veem replication with VMware hosts.

  Reference:replication requirements. See the topic

  It seems to even work with Hyper V - replica.

  Hyper-V R2 2012 replica from INTEL to AMD? -Spiceworks

  In my view, this works for vSphere same replication as well. However, I will stay here with confirmation.

• Select CVS

  Where can I check the current VEC level and enable or disable?... .for some reason, I can't.

  TIA!

  VCA is a cluster environment. If you create a cluster in your data center, you will not be able to configure CVS.

• New host is added to the cluster

  I took over the administration of a cluster 4 host running ESX 4 U1.  The processors are Xeon E5335.  The admin before ordered 2 extra guests with Xeon E5620 CPUs.  I wonder if vmotion will work when I add new hosts, it looks like in KB, I found that I have to change the mask on new hosts and select CVS on all hosts for this to work.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Just turn on CVS at the level of the cluster before adding new hosts. And vMotion works perfectly after that.

• can we add L5420 and E5649 CPU model enable EVC cluster server

  Hello

  Cluster HA, we have 2 Guest ESXi 4.1 and model of processor are L5420 and E5649, and I am not able to Enable EVC mode.

  Please suggest how we can activate CVS my cluster

  Hello

  Theoretically, these two processors operate in the same cluster if you enable CVS for Intel host and select the profile "Penryn" Gen:

  

  In the case where you have not seen this, here are the compatibility matrix: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1003212

  Does that help?

• Issue of new-Cluster

  It is possible to script creates a cluster that defines the following?

  Check HA and DRS

  Uncheck enable host followed

  Select enable CVS for Intel host

  Select Intel Xeon Core i7 in the menu drop-down

  Creating a cluster, HA and DRS checking and unchecking "enable Host Monitoring" can be done with:

• Incompatible CPU question

  HI guys

  I have two questions, I think it's related

  Overview

  I have a gen second i7 CPU, which I activated the VT in the Bios and using Vmware Workstation 8 I configure vCenter Server 5 and two VMS Esxi 5 workstation 8, everything he walks.

  1. my first question is when I go to deploy a computer virtual on one of the host ESXi 5 that will run Server 2003 64-bit, I get the error CPU host is not compatible with the requirements of the VMS to CPUID level 0 x 8000001 registry "edx". the tired host: 0000:0000:0001:0000:0000:1000:0000:0000 required xx1x:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx inconsistency detected for these features: * Longmode; required when a virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest OS. When I try to turn on the Server 2003 64-bit VM

  2. when I click with the right button on my cluster in vcenter 5 and choose change settings and choose VMware EVC and click the VCA mode and select Activate CVS for Intel hosts all the selections in the drop-down list give me error 'Enhanced vMotion compatibility (EVC) cannot be enabled because the cluster contains hosts that lack of HCL. VCA.

  I checked the CPU Compatible table and this CPU is supported is an Inter Core i7 - 2620M (2.7 GHz)

  Can someone help me with this problem

  Welcome to the community,

  just to confirm, you create the VM ESXi with hardware Version 8 and activate/check 'Virtualiser EPT-x/Intel VT or AMD-V/IVR' in the settings of the processor of the ESXi VM?

  If this is the case and it still does not work, please attach vmware.log the ESXi host and vmware.log customer Windows 2003 nested in your next post.

• Will run CVS for these 2 family Intel(r) Xeon L5410 of CPU @ 2.33 GHZ AND Intel Xeon E5620 of CPU @ 2.33 GHZ

  HI Experts,

  Will run CVS for these 2 family Intel(r) Xeon L5410 of CPU @ 2.33 GHZ AND Intel Xeon E5620 of CPU @ 2.33 GHZ

  Not able to check the Compatibility Guide please help not able to Vmotion

  Class workstation machines are usually not certified by VMware, or the hardware vendor there.

  EVC should still work OK.  You will be limited to L1 - Intel Penryn due processor L5410.  When you create the cluster, the host to the cluster add first and then select CVS.

• Can not turn on CVS on blades with Intel E7320 and E5440 processor

  Does anyone know hot to activate CVS on the esx host, one with 2xQuad Core Intel E7320 CPU, the other with 2xQuadCore Intel E5440 CPU?

  When I try to add hosts in active cluster with CVS, I get the message that CPU hardware must support CVO.

  In the BIOS, the only option I have found is Intel VT, and activate.

  The hosts are G5 blades HP.

  Thank you...

  Here are the bios settings that I use on blades BL680c G5 and BL460c G1 running ESX 3.5 and CVS works very well

  Integrated Serial Port disabled

  Virtual Serial Port disabled

  Integrated NIC: Boot Options disabled

  For Proliant power regulator Mode static High Performance HP

  Processor options: HW Prefetcher disabled

  Processor options: sector Adjacent Prefetch disabled

  Processor options: No.-Execute memory Protection enabled

  Options of processor: Intel Virtualization Technology active

  Processor power and the use of monitoring disabled

  No.-Execute memory Protection that is required for the VCA, other parameters are just performance tuning.

  Remember that you can not activate EVC cluster that already has ESX hosts on him. Create new cluster, select CVS and drag your ESX hosts old cluster to the new cluster, this is how you can activate CVS already production use ESX host.

• Impossible to select the host for the pool, can only select Cluster

  Hello

  I try to assess the view and go into the Guide of the evaluators.  When I set up the parameters of resource under the vCenter part settings of the linked Clone Pool where I'm supposed to be able to select a host or a Cluster, I have only the option to select my (not an individual host) cluster.  The problem is that not all hosts in my cluster have access to the SAN that I use for this assessment, so I wanted to be able to isolate the pool to a single host.  Is there some kind of trick to get the hosts present themselves individually?  The hosts are 5.5 ESXi and vCenter vCenter 5.5 Standard

  Thank you

  Dylan

  You can only select the cluster. "Host or a cluster" refers to the fact that if you have a stand-alone Host which is not in a cluster, you can use - so you'd have to move the host you want to use on a stand-alone host or in its own cluster.

• Moving hosts between active EVC clusters (going from 4.1 to 5.5)

  Hi all

  This is my first post here on communities and I hope it will be a great moment

  Currently, we are running a cluster of production unique (4.1U3a vCenter) made 10 IBM x 3850 X 5 hosts where:

  • 5 guests have X 7560 Intel processors (ESXi 4.1U3)
  • 5 guests have CPUs of E7 - 8837 Intel (ESXi 4.1U3)

  Cluster is active EVC: Nehalem Genesis (Xeon Core i7)

  He must now leave whole cluster existing 4.1U3a vCenter for a new vCenter 5.5U1 constantly of the VMs system (we cannot touch/upgrading old vCenter). Is it not possible? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I want to do this way:

  1. Disable HA and DRS on 4.1U3a Cluster (let such VCA what)
  2. Disconnect the 4.1U3a Cluster hosts (a)
  3. Once that all hosts are disconnected remove hosts in the cluster 4.1U3a (one)
  4. Create new Cluster on 5.5U1 vCenter
  5. Select CVS on the new Cluster 5.5U1 vCenter (and set it to Nehalem Genesis (Xeon Core i7), as was the old 4.1U3a vCenter)
  6. Add a host 5.5U1 vCenter, off the new cluster (on the level of data center)
  7. Move newly added welcome the new active EVC Cluster to vCenter 5.5U1
  8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for all remaining hosts
  9. Turn on HA and DRS on the new Cluster on 5.5U1 vCenter
  10. Test of vMotion and to each ESXi (and pray it works)

  This plan could work? I was testing this on the lab environment and all seems OK, but I'm afraid I missed something. As far as I understand CVS it should work as long as I'm not power cycle all VM during the hosts 'move '.

  Thank you all for your help.

  Normally you can not add directly to a cluster as when you import the host to vCenter he does not see as having enabled EVC and is safe.  I was wondering for the sake of ease, not want you back up the database from the old server and put this backup on the new and just update?  It may contain some old information, you may not, but that would mean that your hosts basically would come immediately upward in the cluster without having to do all that extra work.  Also do not go to the 5.5 Update 1 if you use NFS.

• Impossible to activate CVS

  Hello-

  I have a site using two hosts ESXi 5.1 (fully patched) and vCenter. I recently added the second host which is a Dell R410.

  1 - host

  Dell PowerEdge r.620

  Intel Xeon CPU E5-2643

  Host 2:

  Dell PowerEdge R410

  Intel Xeon E5620 CPU

  According to the compatibility guides I found online, should be no problem with the 2600 series and 5600 series processors. I have another site using the same Dell r.620 E5-2643 and a Dell R510 E5640 with EVC Intel Westmere generation active.

  When I try to activate CVS, I get the error saying -.

  The host cannot be admitted to the current cluster Enhanced vMotion compatibility mode. Under voltage or suspension of the virtual machines on the host can use the CPU features hidden by this mode. Host1-esxi1.

  He's going to say that for all modes except Sandy Bridge VCA, then said that host2-esxi1 is the problem of children.

  They are in a cluster and I tried to remove the cluster, activation CVS first, then re - add host... but the HOST1 re-will not add as he noticed that the CEV is enabled. Any ideas?

  Another thing you can try (in a maintenance window) is to stop the VM, then select CVS and start everything up again.

  Thank you

  vmguy

  No, he complains he has propelled there on the virtual machines that efficiently use the advanced features of the CPU, what it basically says is 'you will be downgrading the processor in the virtual machines' so you'll need to power virtual machines turn off the first and then select CVS then power back on and they will pick up the new CPU settings at startup.

  These will be the virtual machines on the G7 welcomes only without having to turn on the G6
