  Hello

  If I create a user with shell access none of the SC commands are available, even if I KNEW the root. As soon as I give you shell access to the root the command that are available once more.

  I tried add the user to the root user group account but still have the same question.

• Command not found in the service console ESX 4.0 u2

  Hi all

  I have a very simple question.

  I have haven´t access to the service console ESX 4.0 for some time and today I need run commands to verify information on some host bus adapters.

  I logged a user then used 'su root' to switch to the ROOT user.

  I use Putty to connect to the Service Console.

  But when I try to execute the following commands it said "Command Not Found":

  vmkload_mod

  esxcfg-module

  I read VMware KBs, that say to use these commands for this version of ESX, but I can´t do run.

  I think the answer is something very simple, but I can´t find it.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Thank you

• How to access the ESX service console

  Hi all.

  I'm a TV engineer trying to solve a problem of network with our equipment. I'm not a network engineer.

  I'm trying to follow the VMWareKB: "Troubleshooting connection problems network using the Protocol ARP (Address Resolution)" I'm just trying to check the ARP table exists on our ESX Server and has some entries.

  KB said running 'arp - a' for a list of the ARP table.

  To do this, I need to open a service console. I have now read articles 3 or 4 on the use of the Service Console but I am still unable to open it to run the command. I do not understand what I am doing wrong, I am incredibly stupid or miss me something completely.

  An article said, press 'Alt F1"exactly where I am doing this? A virtual machine is connected to the ESX? An article said "to VIM summary screen' I tried logging on the virtual machine and point a web browser on the server, I get a screen of welcome of ESX with link"Connecting to Web Access", when I click on it I get"Internet Explorer Can t Open The Web page.

  I had a look at VIM, I can see the details of the Vswitch network on the configuration page, including the IP address of the console service. Can't see how to open a service console. VIM of pointing at the address for service console is unable to do anything.

  I just need to know how to open the Service console and check the tables of ARP based on the KB.

  Please dumb down of your responses to me!

  The fundamental problem is about some units of electric distribution that we use to power the equipment in the racks. They have a network connection which we track using Virtual Machines to the report of a third person of monitoring and control software. The virtual machines are running alarm software driver used to report to the third party. The virtual machine is on a blade server.

  We have a problem where a unit of the IML has been replaced but configured with incorrect default gateway address. In the hours to do so, the monitoring and control software lost connection to ILM and one by one, all units of the IML began to send the ARP requests - "who has 10.172.248.254'.

  Finally, the MDU constantly send ARP requests and the MDU have lost connectivity to the virtual computer. If we open the VM machine, follow up and a MUD, the ping command ping fails, if we put a laptop in place an ILM and ping the machine VM, the ping works fine.

  If power us off/on the ILM voltage they are good, but we are a 24/7 operation and power cycling the MDU is considered risky.

  We have had this problem before and the only solution was to rebuild the virtual machine and assign all MDU to a new network address.

  All switches ILM is connected (foundry Falstron GS) have been verified by the support of our network guys and we are told are all good. The blade server hosts about 20 VM and they work just fine from other systems SNMP traffic monitoring.

  If anyone has any ideas I'm all ears.

  Hello

  As stated, the console is the administration interface that you can use directly on the hardware. It is not a VM (as such) that connect you with the standard management GUI. You can SSH in the network or you can be "physically connected" as you say (I would use HP SIM or the ILO to connect directly to the blade). Once you have that screen upward, press 'Alt + F1' and you connect. Then you should be able to follow the KB to check the ARP table.

  See you soon,.

• Comments about "VMware KB: verification of the deprivation of resources of the ESX/ESXi Service Console ' (1003496)

  Hi and happy 2012!

  Is the title of the article VMware 1003496 KB (Knowledge Base) - http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003496 - "VMware KB: verification of the deprivation of resources of the ESX/ESXi Service Console" (article updated May 16, 2011). A better title might be "VMware KB: searching for deprivation of resources of the Console of the ESX Service / ESXi Tech Support Mode" since ESXi does not have a "Service Console".
  Article also mentions in ESXi running the command "top":
  " (...) ESX/ESXi includes the top utility to be able to check the use of the resources on the service console. (...)"
  " (...)  To check the use of the methods on the service console:
  1. Sign in to your service console of the ESX host as root from a SSH session or directly from the console of the server.  If you connect ESXi Support mode.
  2. Type back to top ."

  
  
  However, if you enable the Remote Tech Support Mode (SSH) in ESXi (at least in ESXi 4.1 Update 1) - similar to a "Service Console" - the 'top' command seems to not be available:
  ~ # top
  -Ash: top: not found
  
  
  ~ # find /-iname high
  ~ #
  On the other hand, the article could have mentioned "esxtop" which is available in 'ESXi' (at least in ESXi 4.1 Update 1):
  ~ # find /-iname esxtop

  / sbin/esxtop
  I hope this information is useful. I propose that this article (1003496) is updated accordingly.
  Thank you!

  Ricardo, we have updated the article to take account of the ESX Classic only.

  Kind regards

• Slow performance NFS (16 MB/s) of the Service Console

  I'm trying to set up an environment with ghettoVCB but I have problems with the flow to the NFS share.

  My configuration:

  ESXi host:

  ESXi 4.0.0 164009

  Reference Dell R710 with 8x300GB 10 k SAS.

  NAS server:

  Nexenta 3.1.0

  Local write on the nas performance is around 230 Mbps. tested by running these two commands in two different sessions of PuTTY:

  zpool iostat tank 5
  
  dd if=/dev/zero of=sometestfile2 bs=1024000 count=5000
  
  

  Zpool iostat output:

  Switch dedicated for storage area network:

  Cisco 3750 with mtu 9000 system

  Nexenta hosts both ESXi are connected to the switch with network cards with Jumbo enabled frames.

  I created an NFS share and mounted as a data store in ESXi. When I run the command "dd" even the service console, I get this:

  tank        6.94G  10.9T      0    178      0  16.9M

  To test another way, I created a vmnic in the vSwitch dedicated for nfs and then attached this nic to a guest vm under Debian. I mounted the same nfs share and run the same command "dd":

  splunk01:mount 192.168.XXX.XXX:/volumes/tank/vmbackup /mnt/nas0

  So there is clearly no problem on the side of Nexenta.

  What I am doing wrong?

  Is there a problem with this build exakt?

• Use the Service console.

  Hi all

  I need to use the vSphere Server service console to run some commands on it. So please guide me how to open the service of vSphere console.

  Thank you

• In the Service Console the path value preferred on vSphere?

  Hello

  We have a problem here.

  Environmental: political vSphere Host, 8 HBAs, path: fixed path of vmware, on 1,000 paths to storage

  To reduce the total number of paths we want to reconfigure our warehouses of data and reduce the number of used HBA for warehouses of test and reference using only 2 of the 8 host bus adapters. We use all the time, then put 6 of them on all our servers of vsphere for people with reduced mobility, only two remain active.

  That is why we have active and people with disabilities with the help of a script on paths of console service - it works very well.

  But after that we reduce active host bus adapters, vsphere seems to forget reset the preferred path (just checked in the GUI). We put vmhba1 and vmhba7 to be active, 0-8 (except no. 6 as is the lsi controller) should be disabled, but on most of these disabled HBA Lun remains the favorite.

  On esx 3.5 service console, we were used to:

  / usr/sbin/esxcfg-mpath - favorite - political fixed = - lun = $lun - path = $: ${lun # *------:}}

  but these options (favorite, political) seem to be outdated since vsphere, which apparently obtained these commands on the api storage?

  Can someone answer the following questions on this issue:

  1 did affect the feature if you prefer the path is one of the disabled?

  2 will be the vsphere host keeps this configuration after reboot (disabled HBA to a lun, active paths)?

  3. is there a new command to set the access path AND / OR politics (MRU, FIXED, RR) to a logical unit number?

  Thanks in advance,

  Kind regards

  Alex

  Hello

  for active/passive, please use MRU;

  as you know, when fixed in use and the LUNS mapped to multiple hosts, 1 host perhaps selects path fixed-to-controller 0 and 2nd host perhaps selects fixed path to controller 1, then the current path will change between two controllers, way stolen here;

• You want to know how to remove the unwanted directory of Service Console

  Hello-

  I just completed some builds of some ESX servers to a new cluster and just realized that I created a directory on a few of them that I don't want.  Hoping someone can tell me how I can list and delete such a file, once connected to the Service Console.

  Thanks a lot - "it's very appreciated.

  Steve

  Hello.

  You can use the command 'ls' to the list of directories, the command "cd" to change around directories and "rmdir" command to remove directories.  You can also use FastSCP, if you want to use a graphical interface.

  Good luck!

• Identify the process of the virtual machine in the Service Console

  Maybe it's a little challenging, but I need to "hang" a VM intentionally for purposes of Compliance\Qualification.  I'm trying to understand the best way to do this and my colleague suggested to connect to the service console, identify the process virtual machine running and terminate, so suspend the virtual machine.  The problem is, I'm not sure how to proceed.  Could someone point me to the light?

  Thank you very much.

  Steve

  You must know the name of the vmx file (usually it is the first name of the virtual machine).

  Then, connect SSH (or console) to your ESX and run the following command

  PS auxfww | grep 'VMXname '.

  At this point, you can locate the correct PID of the virtual machine. The first number to appear in the output is your PID.

  The PID can be used to complete the process by issuing the command kill-9 PID.
