  How to find and configure the fiber channel SAN disks on the ESX Server

  Concerning

  Vijay

  Assuming that you have configured LUNS on your storage space itself you will need to ensure that the ID in the world of fiber HBA on the host ESX (you can see them registered against fiber HBA under storage adapters, WWID) are configured on the switch of fiber access (read and write).

  In the VI Client connected to your ESX host, select the storage adapters tab and highlight the Fibre HBA. Right-click and select Rescan. If you have correctly configured the SAN and the Fibre switch, then the LUNS now appear under the fiber HBA. Go to storage and select Add storage. Follow the wizard through to add LUNS and VMFS format. Do this for each ESX host that you want to see the LUNS.

• Adding new disks to the ESX server

  ESX4 box, I added a new drive and it is not recognized. I can't see in vCenter and remote storage.

  It is recognized correctly in the BIOS so.

  When I do vdf h I don't see the newly added disk.

  Is there a procedure for adding disks or y at - it something wrong in your opinion?

  Thank you very much.

  ELijah.

  If you go to Configuration > storage > add storage, you don't see them?

  They are connected to the same controller that is the first disk?

• The local disk on the ESX Server 4.0 workspace

  I have a Dell 2950 GEN III 2 x Quad Core 2 GHz 16 GB Ram, and 6 x 2 TB SATA hard drives and cards 6 network

  I am only able to create a unique database small.  I have 6 drives in a hardware Configuration RAID 5.   How can I use 100% of apx 10 TB of disk space local invited several flavors of Linux and Windows.   I understand that I will probably have several data stores.

  Do not hesitate to ask questions, I look forward to working this to enjoy this local storage

  This issue I'm having is install ESX is 1 TB, why does the rest of the free space not appear because it is all a local drive in the great hardware but I do not have enough space to do a data store apx RAID 5 via the SATA controller.

  Thank you

  If it's ESX ESXi4.0

  try it with several RAID 1 volumes and create multiple VMFS datastore each with size of 2 TB

• VMDK file unreadable after migration of VM & update of the ESX Server

  Last night we have updated the ESX servers here and in the migration process machines from one node to the other (by placing a single node of the cluster in maintenance mode). During this migration, the VMs one has stopped running. When we finished the migration and had updated the ESX Server, we brought the system to the top and tried to start this virtual machine.

  First, we looked in the directory of the virtual machine and saw that the VMDK file has a different name, with - dish at the end (before hard). We have renamed the file, removing the - flat extension, and this is where we saw these messages. ESX Server always gbehaved as if the file did not exist or was unreadable. Here is an extract from the log:

  The VMDK file is indeed the most, but VMware seems unable to open it. For what it's worth, it was also noted a .hlog file in the directory of the virtual machine on the server:

  Anyone can shed some light on this? Done-flat suffix in the VMDK file have a special meaning? Any recommendations for the rescue of this virtual machine?

• Problem connecting to the ESX Server in the Windows domain controller workstation

  Nice day

  I'm trying to set up a lab for the test server ESX 4 on VMware Workstation 7.1.1 running in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

  Basic configuration is such;

  Windows 2008 R2 AD domain controller

  IP: 192.168.9.103

  SM: 255.255.255.0

  DG: 192.168.9.1

  ESX1 host

  IP: 192.168.9.109

  SM: 255.255.255.0

  DG: 192.168.9.1

  Both are configured with Bridged networking in my computer. I can ping the system Windows 2008 in my Ubuntu system, but cannot ping the ESX 4 server.  I can ping the DG of the Windows 2008 system, but cannot ping the DG of ESX4 system. I ping the ESX4 server by IP address and name for itself. I added a DNS entry in Windows 2008 for the server, ESX4. I can't ping the Windows Server 2008 of ESX4 host.

  There is an entry in/etc/hosts on the ESX host to IP address and the name of the ESX host. If I look at/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-vwif0 I see doing a show at the 192.168.9.255, IPADDR 192.168.9.109 in sysconfig there is an entry for the ESX host name thats right, pointing to the front door of 192.168.9.1 using GATEWAYDEV = vswif0, n - route shows 192.168.9.1 as the UG.

  All tests seem to indicate a problem with the default gateway that is used to communicate between these 2 VM.

  If someone could please provide suggestions as to where I could look, I would appreciate it.

  Kind regards

  powderskier

  AFAIK, you must enable Supreme mode for the virtual ESX using Linux as a host.

  hihiy

  Hello

  You can assign static IP using the below command

• Adding a new NETWORK adapter to the ESX Server

  I have an ESX 3.5 server that has two NIC onboard.  I decided that I will join the ESX Server to the SAN, so I need these two NICS for iSCSI.  I'm going to install a NETWORK card in the PCI - X slot.  Unfortunately, without GUI, I'm confused as to how it will work.  Can someone give me some advice on how to add a new NETWORK card?  I checked esxcfg and I don't know if that's what I'm trying to use.  Any help would greatly be appreciated.

  In the VI client, you should be able to go on the tab network management under configuration see the NIC it to add them to the correct vSwitch.

• What are the network requirements for the remote server of the Panel?

  What are the network requirements for the remote server of the Panel?

  I tried for awhile now to set up a Control Board.  I can connect to my remote panel of computers from other computers on my local network but nowhere else.

  Whenever I use web publishing tool gives me a URL in this format: Http://Computer-Name.Corporate-Name.local:8086 / VI - nom.html apparently it means I have a local DNS server and this URL is meaningless to the public.

  When I try to connect with the Operate > Connect to... remote control, I get this error message:

  "Connection to Server remote panel...".
  "Connection refused by the server remote control specified: make sure that the LabVIEW Web server is enabled on the specified server.

  I got the same error when I tried to host a remote panel from my laptop at home, on my Wi - Fi.  Is there some network settings or firewall I'm not seting?  Would it be my server or the router or the private network?

  My goal is to be able to host remote panels of my laptop while I'm on the international scene, creating using 4 G internet mobile.  Is it still feasible?

  As he Turners on my router had to be put in place so that my Port is in the rage of transfer.  Also I had to disable DHCP.  Without that you cannot host behind a router.

  These are the instructions I put fallow:http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B1E9A3D78BAED949862573AD0065D4D2
