• How to change the config of vCenter Server Appliance (5.5) ESXi host vm? [Solved]

  I want to enable (set to true) memoryHotAddEnabled and cpuHotAddEnabled on the vCenter Server Appliance.

  I can't the powerCLI user because he needs a vCenter Server Appliance to connect to (right?) and to allow HotAdd of the virtual machine must be turned off.

  For anyone wondering, the best way to do this is to connect the ESXi host via vSphere Client, turn off the VM vCenter and update the configuration in this way.

• vCenter crashes when you add esxi hosts

  When I add an esxi host to vcenter, it crashes when it comes to installing the agent vcenter at the bottom of the screen. Then my vi client will expire and say he lost the connection. What of weird is that my vcenter is just a virtual machine sitting inside the physical esxi server, I am trying to add. My connection is both high speed broadband as well. I don't understand not for vcenter IN the esxi server, I try to add, you would think that the connection should be fairly quick. My vcenter vm using windows xp pro 32-bit.

  When you run the add in vCenter you are connected to the local ESX and vCenter through the vSphere client?  I don't think that cause this problem, but if you are connected to two, during the add, delete the vSphere client connection in the ESX and try to add it again.  In addition, if you publish newspapers at the time of failure:

  ESX

  / var/log/vmkwarning

  / var/log/VMkernel

  var

  vCenter

  Journal of vpxd

  Is this the only ESX add that causes the problem?  You can VMotion the vCenter to another ESX Server and try to add the ESX problem?

• Add a 5.1 ESXI host to vcenter server 5.0

  Hi all

  I just installed an esxi5.1 host and tried to add in vcenter server 5.0 without success.

  The error is:

  A general error occurred: Timed waits vpxa to start

  Is it possible to do? If not, is documented somewhere? I searched a lot and found nothing relevant.

  The installation was made using an iso file, the new facility, in a shared, storage warehouse that has been formatted.

  I don't want vcenter server 5.1 as the impact of my infrastructure is high.

  Thanks for the help!

  VMware product interoperability matrix got the update and you would need 5.1 vCenter to manage 5.1 ESXi hosts

• The upgrade of our guests 5.0 ESXi and vCenter Server 5 and 5.5 Enterprise Plus

  We are the 4 upgrade hosts of ESXi 5 to 5.5

  We add 4 more guests with own ESXi 5.5 installed

  We are also upgrading our vCS 5 in the vCSA 5.5

  Using Enterprise + licenses

  Question: I'm trying to understand the best way to achieve this transition.  4 guests run about 100 virtual machines and 4 guests we add are clean slates.

  That's what I think... Please help me guys

  1. once the 4 new hosts are installed in the Datacenter clean running ESXi 5.5 I will deploy the vCSA ovf and register 4 guests with the Linux-based device.

  2. now, I have 4 new 5.5 ESXi hosts registered and running with vCSA 5.5 but I still have my old 4 guests with ESXi 5 and registered to the old vCS about 100 virtual machines running WIndows

  3. at this point I think stop on my older hosts 4 virtual machines and remove them from the vCenter Server inventory Windows and everything just their registration with the new vCSA

  4. Will be all my virtual machines or transferred with the hosts if I close them and put the hosts in maintenance mode?

  5. now, I should have all 8 guests registered with my new vCSA.  But the original 4 hosts have yet to be upgraded to ESXi 5.5

  6 move 100 virtual machines to the new 4 hosts running ESXi 5.5 and upgraded the 4 former hosts.

  7. now, I should have 8 guests with ESXi 5.5 using the vCSA

  See you soon!

  Pretty much.

  To make things easier, you can deploy the EGGS for vCSA in your current vCenter (if I remember correctly import an OVA using vCenter allows you to set certain options that should be set to the vCSA shell). After making sure that the vCSA online & configured, you can then install ESXi on all your new hosts, add them to a cluster in the vCSA and put a few trials of virtual machines on there to confirm the network setting is configured correctly. Once it's done (and assuming that the old and the new hosts use the same shared storage) you can stop the vCSA, remove it stock Windows vCS, please write it on one of your new hosts and turn on. You have now two environments (5.0 and 5.5). Next if you disconnect a host from 5.0 vCS (with virtual machines running on it), you can then connect it to the vCSA 5.5. Assuming that the vSwitchs standard networking of the exchanges that are the same name in both environments, you now can vMotion VMs between host 5.0 and 5.5 cluster. At this time, you can repeat with all remaining hosts until everything has been made the transition without service interruption. This will leave a lot of old objects in your old 5.0 vCS, but if that is getting trashed it isn't a big deal.

• ESXi hosts disconnected/no response in Vcenter after upgrade (4.1 = > 5.5)

  Hello. I'm upgrading our current infra (hosts/Essential licensing Vcenter / 3 ESXi 4.1).  vCenter Server has been upgraded OK, so I started to esxi upgrade hosts one by one.

  Upgrade process is OK, but after the reboot, upgrade marked as "not responding" in vsphere client server. I could ping this host and connect via ssh.

  When you try to reconnect the client host, got a strange error "this edition of vCenter only supports 3 host (s) in the inventory. After 3-4 hours of nothing to host

  has begun to show ok. After upgrading a second host, the same situation. I don't understand, how to solve it without waiting for another 4 hours.

  Restart of host management agents does not help.

  I remember I have a similar situation in the past where the number of licenses does not update as expected, i.e. required some time. What helped was to restart the server vCenter Server in my case. Maybe worth a try!

• Upgrade 5.0 ESXi host w / vCenter on it

  Hi people, forgive me if this isn't in the right place. Finally move the update and patches of my three hosts ESXi 5.0 with Update Manager. I was quite easily able to update two of my guests with managers to upgrade to a more recent version, however puzzled on what to do with the host that hosts my vCenter on that server? We have VMware essentials if we do not have to use Vmotion. Is there an easy way to update this host without vCenter cloning and move to another host to update? Advice or tips or news to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and help!

  I guess your vCenter is on the shared storage - connect to the host of your power VM vCenter down the VM and remove from the inventory of the hosts - go to one of the hosts that has been already updated and add the virtual machine to inventory and run it - and now, you're ready to use the Update Manager to update host rest.

• The upgrade to ESXi host that hosts vCenter comments

  Recently, we moved our vCenter Server in a virtual machine rather than running on a dedicated machine.

  A question I have for those running in this type of configuration are how do you for the upgrade of the host as comments from vCenter runs (for example ESXi 5.0 > 5.1)? We usually use Update Manager to perform the upgrade, so I was wondering if there is just more to use the old method of mode start since the level of the server installation CD or if there is another special way Im unaware of.

  Thanks in advance!

  If you have shared storage, you can connect to the host where you vCenter VM is registered, it off, remove the inventory, disconnect from the host, log in another host, browse the data store, add the vCenter VM inventory on the other host, turn on the vCenter VM and then you can remidate the other host using the virtual machine.

• Upgrade to ESXi 5.0 to 5.1 without upgrading vCenter?

  Hi everyone is my first post here.

  I wonder if I can pass my single host of 5.0 to 5.1 without upgrading vCenter? Basically, what I want to do is upgrade to 5.1 so I can install Windows Server 2012 and trial it. Can I just burn the ISO, boot, the upgrade and the contiune. I've updated the customer to 5.1 already.

  P.S. I read a ton of info on updates etc etc, but I just need the answer to this question.

  Thanks much for any help you can provide.

  Karl

  To add. I tested the upgrade process by installing ESXi 5 in a virtual machine and upgrade to 5.1, it worked. I'm just afraid to do it in my live set up.

  According to the matrix of the interoperability of products VMware, you cannot host with vCenter 5.0 5.1 ESXi, had you first upgrade the vCenter server. Another option is to upgrade your host to ESXi 5.0 Update 1, which also supports Windows 2012 as a guest operating system.

• 6 ESXi hosts can't be added to Vcenter 5.5 App

  6 ESXi hosts can't be added to Vcenter 5.5 App

  When I add the hosts drop off after 5 min or more.

  When you install or upgrade to ESXi hosts to 6.0 you cannot add them to vCenter Server Windows or device.

  It's real reason in the upgrade path, you must first upgrade the vCenter before ESXi hosts. See the sequence below:

• -= Decommissioning of a license key on ESXi host in order to import in vCenter Server Essentials 6 =-

  Our company recently bought a license for VMware vCenter Server 6 Essentials for vSphere (VCS6-ESSL-C) with license keys for VMware vSphere Essentials 6 for 1 processor (ha6-ESSL-C).

  I accumulated vCenter Server 6 on a physical device and assigned the new relevant license key, as well as installed Update Manager Server on this machine. This instance seems to be functional and functional.

  Now, I'm trying to import 3 x ESXi hosts in this environment which have the license keys from an environment "vSphere advanced 5. These 3 hosts are administered under an instance of VM of vSphere vCentre, that I want to the Commission under this license and the license on these hosts is no longer valid after a takeover of the company.

  Question:

  (A) Comment can I get correctly to the setting of these hosts so that I can use the new vSphere license key 6 that I received?

  (B) should I upgrade these hosts to v6 ESXi befin environment to use this new license key?

  (C) do I need to disable features on the hosts in order to apply to apply this license key "6 of vSphere Essentials?

  (D) what is the correct order for doing all these things to use this new environment vCentre?

  Thanks in advance for any assistance given.

  Concerning

  Grant

  I havn't done it myself yet, but I think you should be able to achieve your goal, follow these steps:

  -downgrade license keys CPU Essentials to v5 im Portal MyVMware

  -the value of the new vCenter Server Evaluation Mode (actually maybe not necessary)

  -Add the licenses of Essentials v5 license vCenter inventory 6

  -Add hosts to the new vCenter Server ESXi 5.5 and assign licenses Essentials guests

  -re - assign the license previously removed to vCenter Server

• 5.1 ESXi host rest disconnected when it is connected to the new vCenter Server 6

  Hello

  I created a new version of vCenter Server 6.

  I have e vCenter Server 5.1 connect my 5.1 hosts.

  I want to connect hosts to the new vCenter and then upgrade to ESXi 6 guests.

  I disconnect hosts on the old vCenter.

  The I connect hosts to the new vCenter, and it happens with all the vm´s, etc..

  But it is disconnected.

  And it keeps beeing disconnected even when you try to connect again.

  If anyone has experienced this?

  Thank you

  Have you added these hosts in your new server vCenter along with their licenses?

  Otherwise, if please add host license in your vCenter license inventory and assign to those of your hosts and then try to re - connect.

• Y at - it no downtime of ESxi hosts with vsphere upgrade 5.0 to 5.1?

  During the upgrade process after asked the OSP and the inventory service, there is a point where vsphere agent must be installed on Esxi hosts. There is an automatic and a manual option. Will be the hosts be restarted if I select the automatic option?

  Thank you

  Thank you

  The upgrade of the agent vSphere is transparent.

  You can lose the remote management of vCenter for a short period, but the virtual machines on that host will work without interruption.
