  Question - I can not ping vcenter1 to sql, cannot ping vcenter1 to vcenter2, cannot ping vcenter2 to sql.
  There is basically no communication between virtual machines with the Esx host and in the whole of the host. Firewalls is disable on all these machines virtual esx internal hosts.

  Any ideas how to solve this problem?

• Several ESXi hosts and need to share virtual machines

  I'm relatively new to ESXi (although a lot of vSphere, using iSCSI storage) and we are making a number of servers in remote site (with a proxy and utility VM to manage the file/print/dhcp) using ESXi. I have my VMs built on the first box and need to copy them off the coast to the other, but I have problems with the command ADD Storage... I can't seem to get the right information and I begin to think I'm missing something basic. Then...

  (1) can map you to the VMFS from another host esxi?

  (2) If you can, where do you find the location on the second machine information to set up the data store on the first machine?

  If it's important, we use Dell PE of the 1950s.

  Also, while I'm here...

  The size of a pain is to change the IP address or the name of the ESXi host area?

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  VMFS is not supported on USB drives.

  You can use FastSCP for example, http://www.veeam.com/vmware-esxi-fastscp.html

  And Yes, there are several devices that could share storage attached to the network locally, but I don't see them as a solution when you want to just copy existing virtual machines to another host ESXi.

• Do I need an IP NIC of each Esxi host address?  VMs needs access to the storage network?

  Hi all

  The issue go, I have a host machine with 3 nic cards - > 1 for production network, 1 for the management network and 1 for the network backup.

  The guest PC VM inside will be connected to the 3 network,

  But for the host himself, will be used for management and backup only.

  T1) is the bears from production on the need for level ESXI host having an IP address as well?

  =================================================================

  Right of Q2) now my host use internal storage. If I'm to migrate to a SAN storage, I have 1 more network for storage.

  I understand that the configuration of virtual machines and their data are assigned and stored in the data store that is made visible at the level of the host.

  They must for the virtual machines access the data store, join the storage network as well? or they are access to the storage through the host

  ================================================================

  Kind regards

  T1) is the bears from production on the need for level ESXI host having an IP address as well?

  A NIC itself does not require an IP address. Which IP addresses are required for VMkernel port groups (for example, networking, vMotion, storage access,...) as well as virtual machines.

  Right of Q2) now my host use internal storage. If I'm to migrate to a SAN storage...

  No, a virtual machine (i.e. the guest operating system) does not require access to the system of storage, only the ESXi host.

• 5.5 ESXi host is not able to connect to the network

  I installed ESXi5.5 U2. But the ESXi host grab an IP address from the DHCP server. I tried givind static IP of my office network, but still unable to connect to the network. I checked the CLI, the vmnico of the adapter is in place. Why the machine does not have an IP address?

  I started this machine from the network (available in the bios settings) and observed if an IP address is required. Then, I started the server from the hard drive. Surprisingly, it took an IP and I could connect via the network.

  After that, I plugged this NETWORK adapter to a different location on the same server. I found the same problem (do not take IP). But when once again, I did the "Network Boot" thing, it took an IP address and now it works fine.

  What is average?

  Apparently, my problem is solved, but I still don't know the reason.

• Best design for the use of 8 physical network interface cards on a 5.1 ESXi host

  I have 8 physical network cards to work with on and 5.1 ESXi host using Enterprise Plus license.  I need to repair the following traffic:

  Management traffic

  vMotion traffic

  Virtual machine traffic (probably 2 natachasery will suffice for this)

  NFS traffic

  Won't fault tolerance.  Natachasery-how much should I dedicate to NFS, vMotion, and traffic management?  What failover policy I should use (active / active) (active / standby) for each?

  It is business more licensing and vSphere distributed switches are used.

  Thank you

  Yes, I would put the backup in the switch as well as management traffic and vMotion is they use vSS or vDS. The other option would be to reduce your vDS for NFS traffic of 4 natachasery 2 natachasery and then or to add to the existing vDS that contains management and vMotion VM traffic to add it extra bandwidth or create a new vDS with these 2 natachasery. But at the point of my original thought around creating a vDS is based on all of my bandwidth throwing together and then cut it but I want it and do not have to trade around natachasery after the fact. But there are so many different ways to achieve that is the fun part.

• How to reach esxi host 5 on storage area network

  I have a Dell PS6000E on my network.  I would like to create a volume on it and use it as a shared storage for a new configuration of esxi5 with 2 hosts.  The PS6000 already contains 2 volumes in use by other servers (physical).  To access the PS6000 via my regular local network hosts.  Is this possible, and is there a documentation on how to put in place?

  Thank you

  Welcome to the community - I guess you access the PS6000E are configured for iSCSI or NAS/NFS, you will be able to access as shared storage long ESXi hosts can reach the unit. Because ESXi hosts will not be able to share the LUNS in use by other servers, you're going to create a new LUN for ESXi hosts. This storage of ESXi - http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-50-storage-guide.pdf - guide that has information on how to configure your ESXi servers to access the storage.

• ESXi hosts SBS 2011, clients lose network via VPN

  Greetings,

  We have an ESXi Server (in a lab environment) who perform a SBS 2011 and a Windows 2003 (Terminal Server).

  We have two locations, connected via a VPN IPSec (2 boxes of ClearOS).

  The ESXi host is located in building r. customers in the construction of an experience no problem at all.

  Customers in the building B often lose connectivity to network share. We also failed when copying data. Do not forget that the servers are located in the building and issues affecting only users in the B building.

  We noticed the event ID 2012 on the VM SBS 2011 event viewer.

  The two buildings are connected to a cable broadband 10 mb / 1 mb ISP.

  NOD32 Antivirus is installed on the two virtual machines

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Thank you

  Hello

  There are a few things to look out for more such links. The following steps were made on W2K and W2K3, so that they are still applicable for you.

  (1) is the VPN capable to manage the packet being sent by site B MTU size, sometimes the MTU on VPN size must be less than the default value of 1500 set LAN. You can check this scathing your server with a command like

  ping f-l 1500

  If you get a message like "packet needs to be fragmented but DF parameter.

  You will need to reduce the size of the MTU TCP/IP in the client registry. Try to ping the server with a size of 500 bytes and see how it goes.

  (2) setting the server TCP/IP stack

  In the registry HKLM \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters, create or modify value DWORD of TcpMaxDataRetransmissions. By default, it is set to 5, but I recommend double this value to 10. The TcpMaxDataRetransmissions value is the number of retransmissions of TCP of a data segment without acknowledgement of receipt on an existing connection. TCP retransmits data segments until they are acknowledged or until the expiry of this value. Basically, when a client does not meet a package from the server, the server will attempt to retransmit the packet until TcpMaxDataRetransmissions many times. By increasing this value, you give the customer more time to answer on the server, which will help improve the flaky connections or connections with latency or higher than normal packet loss.

  HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\KeepAliveInterval and HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\KeepAliveTime.

  Both entered DWORD.
  KeepAliveInterval determines the interval between retransmissions keep until a response is received. If a response is received, the delay until the next keep alive transmission is again controlled by the value of KeepAliveTime.
  The connection will be broken once the number of retransmissions specified by TcpMaxDataRetransmissions is remained. KeepAliveInterval is set by default at 1000, which is one second.
  KeepAliveTime controls how many times TCP attempts to verify that an idle connection is still intact by sending a living package of the Dungeon. If the remote system is still reachable and running, he will acknowledge receipt of the living transmission to keep. KeepAliveTime is set by default to 7 200 000, or 2 hours.

  I hope this helps.

• Additional physical network adapters on host VMware ESXi 3.5

  I would like to add additional physical network cards to host VMware ESX 3.5 (update 3). I installed two PCIe Intel NIC (E1G42ET) server for the HP ProLiant DL 380 G5 server. Both NIC cards recognized by the BIOS of the server.

  After you connect to the VMware VI Client I can't see or add new maps.

  In addition, new non-visible material in the host ESX console.

  You are not sure if the drivers of NETWORK interface card must be installed manually?

  Hello

  VMware ESX is NOT Linux, there a GNU/Linux management machinery... ESXi is not even there a device for managing Posix. Drivers for Linux won't work with ESX or ESXi. If the card is not without the HCL for ESX/ESXi, then it won't work with ESX/ESXi. Usually not in list HCL implies VMware doesn't have a driver yet for this card. All drivers must come from VMware ESX and ESXi recognize the hardware.

• Connect 2 ESXi hosts to array SAS MD3220

  I have two R620s who go to the server as a host for the VM for several web servers (in a Windows NETWORK load balancing) and two other R620s which will be considered as physical database servers (in a Failover Cluster) and have to apply to a single Bay MD3220 SAS. The DB cluster will host the databases shared on a virtual disk and a data store shared on another virtual drive on the Bay. ESXi hosts will store their vmx/vmdk files elsewhere on the Board.

  I'm still waiting for delivery of the second DB server, but in the meantime, I installed the first and he speaks with success to the table - I run MDSM on that server and the server is successfully connected to DB and filestore volumes. guess I'm having a little problem with the second server.

  I installed ESXi on both VM hosts. I guess the next step is to save in MDSM, but MDSM is not automatically host port identifiers as assigned. Does?

  My next guess would be to identify manually port host identifiers, but how can I determine what are their respective IDs? I couldn't see anything obvious in the BIOS.

  I have currently two independent hosts to VM with ESXi installed v5.1 - I have not created a VM vCenter again because the host does not have access to the storage Bay (!), so I can pair together for HA hosts, etc. As a broader question, given what I want to achieve, how should I be going to this topic?

  Indeed, you will need to register the VMware hosts in MDSM yourself. There is no agent to have a VMware host register automatically on the SAN (at the regular difference in Windows and linux).

  You may be able to find the WWN of the HBA SAS in the SAS controller bios.

  The only other way I know not to register the correct WWN with the server is intrusive, but not so hard:

  -Stop your Windows (cluster SQL) servers

  -Stop the VMware servers

  -power of the MD3220 downwards

  -power up the MD3220

  -power up to one of the servers Windows (one that has MDSM on it)

  -power up the VMware Server 1

  In MDSM, you can now save this first VMware Server.

  Turn on the other 2 servers and register the 2nd VMware Server.

  I found that only shutting down 1 VMware server is not erase the memory of the MD whose WWNS are connected and there is no way to find which ports you enter the WWN in question.

• MD3220i - install the drivers 'to host' on ESXi hosts

  We bought a MD3220i to use as shared to our vmware datacenter storage.

  I'm a little confused by the documentation...

  She says that she needs to host software installed on each host that connects to the MD3220i and the software grouped: the driver agent and multiple paths to storage. And that any host servers that connect to the storage array need.

  Without doubt, this also includes ESXi hosts?  If so - how do install on ESXi hosts?

  Or I completely understood you something here...

  Advice would be appreciated,

  S.

  You have no software special 'host' because all the parts needed is already bundled with vsphere ESX (i). The essential parts are to check if the right HOME is used and that configure you the initiator of swiscsi in the right way. In terms of vsphere4 you need some Voodoo (remote control) command line to use esxcli to bind the VMKs created together.

  Reference Dell have a best practice on how to connect the md32x0i to vsphere which has been found at the momemt. The guide shows the ip network configuration and all the necessary parts in vsphere. Dell uses a subnet of grand for all ports of 2 controllers. If you are looking for in this forum you will also find configurations where a single subnets are used to place a port for each controller. The two works configuration but I do face "LUN is not on preferred path" errors from time to time during the use of the first installation.

  If you call technical support Dell will send you the necessary guide but I do not know google can help as well. Its like for many other iscsi bays and rules applied (several VMKs, binding, etc.). If you can't find something I can dig in my Inbox if necessary.

  Edit:

  OK... after a google search hard that I found the former guide who use a single subnet, but the guide describes the installation with different subnets. Then you should follow this path. Take a look at http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pvaul/en/md-family-deployment-guide.pdf

• Add esxi host to vCenter fails

  Hello world

  I recently installed vCenter Server. I added the first host by the name of full domain with no problems at all. I tried to add the second host and he stopped the vCenter service and I have my client I disconnected.  When I restart the service and connect through the client, the host is as disconnected displaying 7 VM 12 of offline as well. All virtual machines and on the first host are always connected without any alarm.

  This server was connected to another server vCenter, more than a month and deleted successfully, I can add. I tried to unplug and reconnect several times, restart management agents and manually uninstall the vCenter agent using the console "unsupported."

  One thing I noticed, is that it gets to 8 or 9 percent, and that's when the vCenter service is stopped. I opened a second client to watch where it stops and it is just after "Select the virtual NETWORK adapter" full show then nothing.

  Any help would be much appreciated!

  Thank you

  Ahh. There is your situation.

  Stop the virtual machine. Click on remove inventory.

  Go to your other ESXi host. Browse the data store, find the folder of the virtual machine, right-click on the VM.vmx file and add to the inventory.

  It works and're you good to go.

  Conversely when you need your choice.

• Can no longer add ESXi host to vCenter but OK VI Client connects

  I removed an ESXi host in a cluster on vCenter. Now when I try to add the host (whether for the cluster or stand-alone) the add hosts Wizard appears and has the correct information, but when I cliquerai on closing, that nothing happens for a few minutes, then I get the error:

  Unable to reach the specified host... Maybe it's because this host is not available on the network, there is a problem with the network configuration or management on the host services do not react.

  However, I can connect to the host directly with the VI client and which works very well, even though the events tab displays "VFAT: 2583: Possible FAT Corruption." My copy of ESXi is on a flashdrive in a HP Blade.

  I tried to reboot the host, but it makes no difference. Several of the responses to other users of similar problems is recommended to perform "service vmware-vpxa restart" on the host, but this does not apply to ESXi. I also tried to restart the vCenter, but that makes no difference either.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Will be

  Download iso hpvm-recovery on HP site and reinstall ESXi on flash drive.

  UPD: Yes, as Neil said, check your key USB HP if you bought ESXi Embedded. If you have the Green key aluminum, require the replacement of HP. And then, you definitely have to download iso that I mentioned above
