Shared behavior of the virtual machine on the host system shutdown

• No network connection between the virtual machines on different hosts ESXi

  I have several 5.0 ESXi hosts in a cluster managed by vCenter Server 5 and I have network problems:

  1. [Host A] running a virtual machine can ping any other computer virtual running on the [host A] great!
  2. A virtual machine running on host [B] can ping any other virtual machine running on [B] home - very well!
  3. [host A] (from the ESXi console) can ping any virtual machine running on [B] home - even better!
  4. [B] home (from the ESXi console) can ping any virtual machine running [host A] - beautiful set!
  5. A virtual machine running [host A] can not ping any virtual computer running on host [B] and vice versa - bad, very bad!

  So basically the problem is that the virtual machines can communicate on hosts. It is a major problem that I need to fix, for obvious reasons.

  Networking on all hosts is configured exactly the same way: a unique and standard vSwitch with a pair of gigabit network cards grouped, vmkernels configured for the vMotion, NFS and network management and a group of ports configured for the VIRTUAL local area network used by the VMs. (vMotion works fine on hosts, storage vMotion works very well too.) All virtual machines are servers Windows (2003 and 2008).

  Reason #3 and #4 above, my assumption is that #5 must be the result of an ESXi/vCenter configuration issue and not a problem with the switches of material upstream. Is this a reasonable assumption?

  Whatever it is, can anyone offer suggestions on how can I fix? It is quite annoying as I'm pretty sure that these hosts are configured in the same manner as those of our production cluster, which does not at all these problems!

  Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.

  To be honest, it looks like a problem with your physical network-

  How is the physical network configured - are NIC connects it to the same physical switches? Are the virtual machines on the same subnet? If this is not the case, they are able to ping the gateway sbnet? Can you piing host IP address from the virtual machines?

  I also moved it to a forum more approiate.

• Get the number of virtual machines per ESX host

  I am able to get the account with the following script command, but what I want to do is to report a 0 if there is no virtual machines on a host.  Currently it just show nothing if there are no VMs.  Any suggestions?

  Get-VMHost | Sort - the name of the property. Select Name, @{N = "VMCount"; E={($_ | Get - VM). County}}

  You can add an IF in the part of the expression.

  Try it like this

  Get-VMHost | Sort-Object Name | Select Name,@{N="VM";E={if(($_ | Get-VM).Count){($_ | Get-VM).Count} else {0}}}

• The list of all virtual machines to a host group in Virtual Machine port group

  Ladies and gentlemen,

  I would like to create a powershell script to list all my virtual machines to a host, but a group of Machine virtual PortGroup... It is possible...? I see only found Internet see the VirtualPortGroup of the host...

  Thanks in advance & looks

  All your VMS have a mapping single portgroup or it not with multiple NICs on different port groups?

  If they are all the same, then the following should work:

  Get-VM | Select Host, Name, @{N="PortGroup";E={$_.NetworkAdapters[0].NetworkName}} | Sort PortGroup, Name, Host

• How one move the templates of virtual machine from one host to another host in the cluster even

  Hello

  Can you get it someone please let me know how to move the templates of virtual machine from one host to another host in the cluster even?

  Thank you

  James

  Welcome to the forums!

  Convert it to a virtual machine (right click on guest and choose the appropriateoption), move it through the migration feature (right-click Guest, and then choose "Migrate") and convert into a model (right click on guest again and choose to convert to a template).

• How to move virtual machines from one host to another without full VI and vMotion?

  Hello

  could you help me with a question?

  I have two installed hosts with ESXi 3.5 U5, which are connected to the shared iSCSI (Openfiler) - VMs storage are installed on the storage disk. My requirement is to have a cheap solution of DR - in case of failure of a host, I need to move and start VM on the host of work. How to achieve without going through VMware Infrastructure 3.5 and vMotion?

  I found this article:

  http://www.virtualizetips.com/2010/04/how-to-move-a-VM-without-vCenter-or-storage-VMotion/

  but RCLI needs Infrastructure of VMware ESXi does not have default CLI So, how to move VMs between hosts (of course I mean "cold" move) without byuing any additonal VMware SW? It is generally possible in my situation?

  Thank you.

  If the virtual machines are running in shared storage (two guests see the same storage iSCSI or NFS) then it's simple. If a host goes down, then look for the data store on the ESXi host work. Navigate through folders for each virtual machine, right-click on the VMX file and add to the inventory. You will then be able to turn on the virtual machine.

  To move a virtual machine from one host to another, as long as both hosts had the same processors, you can pause the VM on the single host, browse and add the virtual machine to the inventory on the second break host and the United Nations.

  If the virtual machines are on local storage, but the two hosts are connected to the same shared storage, clone virtual machines on a daily basis from local storage to shared storage. Use something like ghettoVCB http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8760 make the clone. In the case of a server failure, you will be able to browse the data store, add to the inventory on the shared storage and switch the cloned machine.

• Deploy multiple virtual machines on several hosts evenly?

  Hello people!

  I wrote a small script to deploy many virtual machines on several hosts at random.

  But I would rather deploy a virtual machine to each host in a table and then start over again until the number of virtual machines to deploy exhausted.  Distribution of the burden of deployment as evenly as possible.

  Anyone have a suggestion?  Example of nested loops?

  

  PowerShell beginner, here.

  Thank you

  romatlo

  One way to do this is with the modulo operator (%), something like this

  $numVMs = 11

  $tgtEsx = get-Cluster "Westcreek | Get-VMHost-name z420 *.

  1.. $numVMs | %{

  [New-VM-name 'Test $($_)' $tgtEsx[$_%$tgtEsx.Count - VMHost]

  }

• IO emits virtual machines in a host

  Hi guys

  I have a 2 Server ESXi cluster build 1065491 for a month of monitoring reported some problems with virtual machines - ping has disappeared.

  After that, I found that VMs statement of losers pings were accommodated in the same server ESXi. Today, a problem has been reported with the vCenter apparatus which did not... do more research I found that all of the virtual machines that are hosted in this particular host appeared this message Windows - Linux

  Thanks a lot guys

  Hello

  I do not understand the LSI SAS and mptscsi messages are coming inside the guests who are having a controller LSI. I agree to a point that the vmhba0 of LSI in the server maybe nothing to do with errors inside the guests because you do not have virtual machines in the local data store but CF.

  So, let's take a look at the usual suspects:

  1. as Memmad has pointed out, in the vmkernel journal, we can see if the FC lun is seen no problem and is reported.

  2 the ESX does very slowly during the execution of commands like esxcfg-scsidevs - m or esxcfg-rescan vmhbaX [X your CF Adapter]

  3 - is the lun configured for multi path in the face of questions, CF once again, it can be newspapers vmkernel. ?

  4. I'm sure that the paging file will be generated when the FC lun, but they have a check if the last file to update the directory of the virtual machine swap at the present time. This is to eliminate any delay in the swap file in writing of the customer due to CF issues.

  5. There was questions previous similar to yours as VM lose pings, decline in performance, but they were in iscsi and 4.1 KB here

  It seems that the guests are abandoned or their scsi reset commands that seems to be the issue here.

• Number of virtual machines on a host

  Hello

  I want to count the VM´s on a host and put the value in a variable (number). Then, I want to let the script write the value as follows:

  $numVM = get-VMHost host1. Select @{N = "NumVM"; E={($_ | Get - VM). County}} | ConvertTo

  If ($numVM - gt 0) {Write-Host "host a" $numVM "Virtual Machines"}
  else {Write-Host "the host has no virtual machine"}

  But PowerCLI says:

  Can't compare ' @{NumVM = 3} "'0' because the objects are not the same type or object ' @{NumVM = 3} ' does not implement 'IComparable '.

  So what I have to do now?

  THX

  Chakoe

  Do it like this

  $numVM = (get-VMHost host1 |) Get - VM). County
  If ($numVM - gt 0) {Write-Host "host a" $numVM "Virtual Machines"}
  else {Write-Host "the host has no virtual machine"}

  A select statement creates an object, and not an int

• How to increase the amount of memory to the host system?

  Hello gentlemen,

  I am new to VMware ESXi 5, and I want to know how to increase the amount of memory for the host system?

  I saw in the Configuration menu of the host, my ESXi host has only 77.3 MB. I think it's wrong, it's too little amount of memory dedicated to the host system. It is not a (Properties) button after I was able to change the amount of memory host system.

  Please, be so kind, help me!

  Thanks in advance!

  Welcome to the community,

  where do you see this amount of memory?

  The total amount of memory installed on the host can be seen in the summary, tab (resources) with the host country is selected in the inventory.

• Move the virtual machine from one host to another with shared storage

  Hello

  I have a question on how to move a virtual machine from one ESX 4 host to a host ESXi 5.  These hosts have access to the same shared storage but the ESX 4 host is outside the network and host ESXi 5 is inside the network so vMotion is not an option.  They are in different groups.  I know that there must be an easy way to move this virtual machine, but for the life of me, I can't find it.  I guess I have remove the virtual machine from the external cluster but how to make the virtual machine in the internal cluster?

  Thanks in advance...

  If both host access to the data store even where VM's store, just stop the virtual machine, remove inventory on ESXi 4, go to ESXi 5 vSphere vSphere, browse the data store where the VM is stored, do a right-click on the .vmx file and add to the inventory.

• Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter: Activate the virtual machines on a host KVM

  Hello

  I bought four licenses for sale at retail of Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter. With the license of data center, I have the right to install a number of Windows Server R2 instances unmlimited 2012 on the physical machine with the associated license.

  The question now is: How can I activate Windows in virtual machines?

  As virtualization host, I use KVM, AVMA is not possible. I need a KMS host key to set up a KMS host. I tried to use my product key for the retail license but the VMAT does not accept the key, because it's a KMS - no key. Where should I paste my product key for the KMS host key?

  Kind regards

• How everyone counts the total amount of GHz for virtual machines on a host-cluster?

  Hello

  I want to do some basic sizing and I may\may do not go the way to write about it.  For example, suppose I have a cluster of 4 nodes with a total of 200GHz and 1 TB of RAM on all four hosts with 100 VM.  How can I get the total amount of GHz\Memory that each virtual machine is configured with (not necessaryly to aid real-time) so that I can workout or demonstrate what fits on one or two hosts in the cluster, for example?

  Thanks for your help and advice in advance

  You can do this via the inventory tool called RVTOOL which allow you to do an inventory of all your virtual machines and hosts with the resource assigned and served. hope, it will help you.
