• Manage an ESXi host using vCenter Server?

  I understand it is possible and requires of the specific licenses for ESXi hosts, even if I find information on the VMWare site a bit confused as to what I need exactly. We have-

  1 License Server Standard 4 x vCenter

  4 x vSphere Enterprise license 4 (who manage our ESX 4 hosts this site)

  3 (and soon 4) remote sites that have the same server ESXi

  I would like to be able to manage ESXi host using vCenter as well, is this possible with what we have? If this isn't the case, can someone direct me as to what it takes?

  Thank you

  You need the standard by CPU socket for each host license to add to vCenter.

  You can always create a separate environment and get the Essentials Bundle (up to 3 guests max) for $500:

  So you should have 2 vCenter servers.

• Extract the host name vCenter using PowerCLI

  Hi all

  I was asked to create a script that displays the host ESX, the version of the product name (I use "Get-View $_USER.USER"). «» ""Config.Product.FullName"), and what I thought, that's easy, vCenter host name." I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to extract the host name real vCenter. I can get the vDC and the cluster, but I can't find what combination of cmdlets or vim commands can extract this nugget. Is something that is accessible via a standard cmdlet such as get-viproperty, get-view or another?

  TIA,

• Windows 2008 R2 VM disk system increased substantially after moving from VM to ESXi host 5.1 to 5.5 ESXi host using vCenter Converter Standalone

  Hello:

  I moved a Windows 2008 R2 VM from a 5.1 ESXi host to an ESXi host 5.5 using vCenter Converter Standalone.  The c: / drive system passed largely to where I now have to extend the volume.  Is this normal/expected behavior?  Perhaps the conversion/move creates temporary files I can delete?

  Thanks much for the ideas.

  This is not the expected behavior.

  Size of the disk is defined during the conversion and which will not increase by its own during conversion.

  Now, you need to V2V, if you want to reduce the volume.

• Implementation of the heart rate in the FPGA vi to detect an abnormal termination of the host using the compactRIO vi?

  Hello

  I'm developing an app for the compactRIO systems. I want to implement a heartbeat in the FPGA code that detects if the host vi gave up. I also want the FPGA vi at the stop with a stop of the host vi command.

  I implemented the heartbeat signal within the host vi and the heartbeat counter is located in a loop of the single cycle timed (SCTL) in the FPGA vi. However, I have other loops while in the FPGA vi (b/c I/o analog are not compatible with the SCTL) and so I need to stop several multiple loops with a stop order from the inside of the loop cycle timed (by opposition from a user input, what you can do with a local variable).

  As I have now, when I download and run the code to my compact goal of RIO, and I abandoned the host vi (and not by pressing the stop button), the code in the SCTL stops, but on the other the loop is not. Can anyone help?

  Greetings Andrew P.

  I took a quick look at your code, and while I'm not completely sure of the cause of the behavior that you are experiencing, I noticed a few things in your FPGA code.  First of all, it seems that you use an appropriate method to report the other loop the SCTL is stopped due to the delay of heartbeat.  Secondly, it seems that the logic around the heart rate monitor can be a bit off.  Currently, you are taking the current value of the entry of Heartbeat/command and comparing it to the value returned by the shift register using a not equal to vi comparison.  This allows to detect a change in the status of this entry if the shift register is providing the value of previous to this entry.  However, it seems that you take the value of the comparison is not equal to to fuel the shift register, rather than the current value of the control of heart rate.  What happens if you change?

  Kind regards

• Cannot transfer the data of the CR to the host using FTP

  Hello

  Save us from our experimental data in a folder in the CR (pxi-1042 to the pxi controller 8108 RT). Retrieve later us the data to our host for analysis. Now, we used to regularly used to make new folders in RT to reduce the time of llop to read the files in the host, but somehow the data in particular folder has increased due to the more experimental campaigns.

  Now the given folder has become inaccessible, we tried to get the data using FTp methods like browser, orders msdos, but nothing has worked so far

  We tried to connect n a USB to the RT controller and tried to transfer files on it, but the performance of the VI RT disconnects. (although we are bale to access other folders)

  This folder has our important experimental data, so it is crucial to get your hands on it.

  Please suggest what options exist.

  Thank you very much

  Thanks a lot for your answers. We gave a lst test by inserting a USB hangs in the RT controller.

  We then programmatically regularization RT drive on USB data. We were able to achieve and could get the data.

• Unable to connect to the host to vCenter

  I get the following message is displayed after attempting to connect to a host to vCenter.  The host was previously connected to the vcenter and changed its host name.  She has been removed from vCenter.  Now, it may not be readded.  Here is the message:

  "Authorization to perform this operation was deined.  You do not privilege "system > View ' on file '

  Take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/3824568 to see if that helps.

• Compliance on the host or vCenter

  When executing scripts of compliance, are these executed against information from the host or information in vCenter? The host is current vCenter questioned or any just? I'm trying to understand the impact of running scripts against the hosts/groups/centres of data, etc. Thanks for any info you can provide.

  This information is extracted from the server where the Update Manager service is running.

  Since you do not have a real analysis, nothing will be launched on the ESXi hosts.

• Access error in the status of material on the hosts to vCenter

  I have a virtual machine on one of my hosts, 64-bit Windows 2008 SP2, with of VMware vCenter Server installed on it. I connect to manage all my guests. I changed the NETBIOS name of the virtual from Windows machine to comply with the new standards of the convention of naming on our network, and now I have the following problem when you try to access the page of material status on my hosts. It works fine if I connect directly to the host, but no longer works via vCenter... Someone knows how to fix this? It must have something to do with the change of name, because it worked fine before the change.

  

  I don't myself yet, but maybe http://vr0x0r0man.blogspot.com/2010/08/rename-vcenter-41-server.html can help solve the problem.

• Impossible to connect from my VIC to the host using the host name.

  Hi guys,.

  When I try to log in from my VIC to the host, I get this message (see photo) but if I use the work just the IP address. I check my DNS and host VMware was not there so I created a PTR record that connects the IP with hostname, I update the DNS, but still nothing happens. Any idea?

  Thank you.

  I was almost positive it is a dns issue...

  You can test the host name of the workstation that you are trying to connect from? try clearing your cache dns on the local workstation-

  > ipconfig/flushdns

  If for some reason that doenst work, and then add the host name of the node to your hosts file

• Script to reconnect the hosts using "Read-Host - AsSecureString".

  I'm trying to get a script that will reconnect all ESX host, when you use a server different vCenter (same database well). I found the bases of what I need here:

  PowerCLI blog

  But the only problem with that one is that the script has the password in clear text. I prefer to ask the password, as with the Read-Host - AsSecureString option. My script below works fine without the option - AsSecureString... when the Read-Host is not hidden. Can someone tell me how to make it work with the AsSecureString?

  $password = Read-Host - assecurestring "Please enter the root password"

  Get-VMHost | % {$view = get-view $_.id}

  $arg = New-Object vmware.vim.hostconnectspec

  $arg.userName = 'root '.

  $arg.password = $password

  $arg.force = $true

  $view. ReconnectHost ($arg)

  Thank you!

  Kyle

  The property of password in HostConnectSpec object requires a plaintext password.

  This means that you must use the method Robert provided in this post.

  I've attached a file (since the SW forum do not like the brackets) with your script suitable for this method.

• How to access the host using winscp and other application?

  Hello everyone,

  I am running Redhat Enterprise (VM) on a Windows 2003 R2 host computer. Now I would like to access the Redhat Enterprise 5 via WinSCP or other Applications. Also, I need the ability to access Applications running on Redhat (access via Web service) system.

  Is this possible?

  Currently I use the http://hostip:8333 / to access the console remotely. That works very well to set up the customer but for testing Applications that run in the virtual machine is not clear to me (I create Applications at the local level and they--are supposed to--communicate with the client VM, REHL). Someone had some advice for me? If you need more information, let me know!

  Thanks in advance.

  If your guest use in network bridge you can access just as you acceding to any other host.

  If it uses NAT you must forward the appropriate ports (22 for ssh and WinSCP for example) at the prompt by editing the NAT configuration file.

• How to upgrade vcenter host when the host needs to be in maintenance mode

  Hi, I have a host 5.5 with 3 VMs (2 production servers and 1 Server vcenter). Now I see for updating the host using vcenter Update Manager documentation is quite simple. The thing I don't understand until you can fix, the esx host must be in maintenance mode, which means no VMs, including the vcenter server, which is the only way you can do a right click on the host and choose restore. Now how can I fix if the server is in maintenance mode and my vcenter server is down?

  I have the vsphere client installed on my laptop, version 5.5, but him, I did not have the remediation option. How can I put my 5.5 esxi host?

  Thank you

  With only one host in place and vCenter Server as a virtual machine running on this host, you cannot use Update Manager. Your options are either interactively update the host using a CD or update patch / the host from the command line using esxcli.

• Cannot add host to vCenter server as data store is shared with an existing host to vCenter

  Recently, I removed a physical host to a virtual appliance of vCenter Server and am not able to add it to vCenter Server because I get an error message on the existing data store.  I run a simple server vCenter environment with two physical hosts and shared storage.  I've only been administering vCenter for a few months, so I'm relatively new on the technology and processes.  I searched the Internet for a few days now, but have not found documentation everyone has the same problem I have (which I find strange considering the simplicity my problem and configuration), so I tried to get help from the community of VMware.

  I received an error message a day this vCenter Server cannot connect to either of the two hosts so I removed the host (rather than disconnect and plug as I should have done).  Now, I am not able to connect to the host to vCenter server because the shared storage data store comes into conflict with the same data store used by the host in vCenter Server.  I get the error message is ' "Datastore"datastore_name"is in conflict with a store of data that exists in the data center which has the same URL (ds: / / / vmfs/volumes/UUID /), but is supported by different physical storage." "  I try to remove the host data store, but get the following error message: "resource" data store name: datastore_name VMFS uuid: UUID' is in use. ".  The error stack said: "'HostStorageSystem.UnmountVmfsVolume' call failed for object 'storage system' on ESXi"IP address"."  Cannot unmount volume ' data store name: datastore_name VMFS uuid: 'UUID' because the file system is busy. Correct the problem and retry the operation. "I tried to delete all virtual machines of the inventory, put the hosts in maintenance mode, restart physical hosts, but none of my troubleshooting contributes.

  I don't know what steps to take to get this data store driving with the host so that I can add it in vCenter Server.  You can provide me with any help is appreciated.

  Good thing you already moved the VMs on.  For what is 'disconnect', 'remove' or 'delete' might work anyway.  You should maybe put the host in maintenance mode or even reboot the host before you can remove data warehouses.  In an extreme case, I even had to remove the host and the hypervisor installed completely rebuild on the spot.  It is not that difficult or does not take long to reinstall, so be not afraid on this subject.  A clean reinstall could still save time compared to the deletion of data warehouses.
