• Changing the DNS server for ESX hosts?

  Our network administrator will change the IP address of the DNS server.  In this way, we will change those corresponding to ESX hosts.

  We would like to know

  (1) can we change the DNS server on execution of the ESX hosts without going into maintenance mode?

  (2) under what circumstances the ESX host will do use DNS servers?

  (3) memory, we should add all the IP addresses of ESX host in the hosts file in the Service Console, where is this hosts file located at?

  Thank you

  Tony,

  Use "service network restart" command to restart the network service

  Do not forget also that...

  Very dependent on DNS HA, HA will not work without the correct DNS configuration. The servers ESX and vCenter server must be able to resolve the name (FQDN full) / IPs in both feel to get a working HA.

• HA does not not as expected on the ESX host

  Hello

  I have a cluster with ESX 3 (v3.5 Update4) node that is configured to use HA & Drs During a practice session to the ESX host that I found that if I simulate a hard failure of one of the nodes in the cluster, ESX all guests arriving to run on this host VM will automatically starts not themselves on another ESX host after x amount of time. What I've done so far to solve problems is the following:

  1. allowed Virtual Machine put in power under the Configuration tab on each ESX host. Then, I moved that no matter what VM Autostart submenu in there appearing. This step is repeated on each ESX host

  One thing to note after that: when the host has been stopped, the virtual machine would properly failover to another ESX host but not itself power on. I got feed manually on the client.

  2. I disabled the resource constraints under the Cluster Edition settings Menu to enable the machine to power on no matter what

  There is nothing to change the question

  3. I fiddled with the priority of restarting the virtual machine in question to see if it would help, but it made no difference

  4. I enabled Virtual Machine control and settings left to 'High '.

  It has nothing

  There are two messages that I keep seeing in the case where the window of the Cluster:

  Failure of failover for the guest in question Warning Message

  Not enough resources for the warning of the cluster failover

  There are many resources available, so I do not know whence this second message. DNS seems in good condition I can solve the hosts & guests all with success in a direct and reverse search.

  My goal here is to have the guest virtual computer turn itself on one of the other guests of the ESX cluster.

  Any help would be appreciated... Thank you

  Look in "response to isolation" on setting HA. Did you put it "Leaves the virtual machine" setting turned on or turned off?

  If market, your host another try not to put the virtual machines from the virtual machines might still running on the original host, which can cause some collide ie.swap in use, the locked configuration files & etc.

• A server Vcenter 4.1.0 coexist with 5.1.1 ESX hosts

  Hello

  I was planning on upgrading my VMware environment, but I just noticed that my vcenter server running 4.1.0 is enough CPU to run 5.1.

  Is it still possible to upgrade my hosts to 5.1.1 so that I can use the latest etc. operating systems or this will cause my unstable environment.

  any advice is greatly appericated.

  Thank you

  vCenter 4.1 can not handle 5.1 ESX hosts.

  First vCenter Server must be upgraded to 5.1 and then upgrade hosts to 5.1. So that vCenter can manage the hosts in full transparency.

• Find with no VM ESX hosts

  I'm trying to think of a better way to check and see if he has not invited on an ESX host.   Currently I have this: $listofvms = get-vm-location $vmhostname. Then I do a check on $listofvms.count to see if it's 0.

  Any suggestions on a better way to look at this issue?

  Try this

  Get-VMHost | Où { ! $_. ExtensionData.VM} | Select name

• How to test an ESX host

  What are the options for testing performance on ESX hosts?  Are there models of good OVF or vApps for ESX hosts test to determine their ability to stress?  For example, you want to determine how many virtual machines can run safely on a physical machine - is there an OVF template that will peg the CPU, memory usage usage and access hard drive at startup that you run a bunch of one host and one model OVF who will report on the usage statistics?

  Are there other (free) ways to stress tests of your physical servers?

  Thanks for your comments

• Power on the ESX host

  I had to reboot an ESX host, so I moved the virtual machines out of it. Put in maintenance mode and click on restart. However, after you restart the host went offline and changed his status does not. I was quite puzzled and checked the papers and of course I got [not restarted] stop the ESX host.

  My question is, do I I turn back on the ESX host remotely? Because I don't have access to the physical box itself.

  You have access to the DRAC or equivalent of IBM or the ILO. Otherwise, if the host is really turned off, the only option is to have someone physically in front of the console

• ESX host is not responding

  Hello

  now, I have a problem.

  a customer has 3 blade IBM HS23.

  because in the course of the last 7 months I had 4 times the host esx became offline / insensitive

  all the vm continue to operate therefore continues to operate production

  ESX host do not react on SSH connection or telnet

  I can connect after pressing F2 and F12, but then the host everything crashes

  I can't connect to the vi to the ESX host client either.

  all hosts are installed on the IBM's USB drive

  the only thing to solve it is to off the blades and start again

  also random sound. I had 3 months running good, good running 1 day and 3 weeks running good

  the vpxd.log file displays only the waiting times to communicate with the esx host and then the error offline

  already updated all my firmware (chasis, blades, storage, fiber brocade and IBM switches)

  I started with vsphere 5.5 u1 U1 and ESXI 5.5 IBM. already updates on vsphere 5.5 U2 and 5.5 ESXi vmware u2 (since ibm doesn't have an ESXi custom 5.5 u2)

  im stuck... lil last event is on 16/01/2015 (and ibm will not support since there only subscription for 3 years and no software support contract)

  one last point, I'm under bacup veeam and 7.x replication but don't see a problem there.

  Thanks in advance.

  I found the problem

  I've restarted only iSCSI data store and all ESXi hosts becomes sensitive

  so, after searching for the qnap forum I noticed that they have released an update on 29/01/2015

  test of the firmware now and see what happens

  If this fails, I guess the qnap ts - 469L is not taken in charge more for vsphere 5.5

  Thank you all for the suggestions

• Change the path information for ESX ESXi hosts to access

  Hello all! I hope you guys can help me.

  I have about 47 hosts that I need to change it Round Robin storage path information. If I make the change in vCenter and restart the host it again changing fixed. So, I thought that I should change it to the level of the host through esxicli.

  I have about twice as many LUNS of the Hitachi SAN. I'd like to see if it is possible to make the change in all areas, in some way, or I need to make the change by host? Also, is there anything that I need to change sides San so that it works or not.

  I saw this VMware KB: modification of path information for ESX/ESXi hosts to access and assume that it is the best plan? But did not know of all put into custody, if necessary, that everyone ran to when doing this?

  You will need to make the change by the host and the KB you'll find is the right method.

• You can restart nfs storage WITHOUT having to reboot ESX host?

  Hi community

  I wanted to know what your experience has been reset to the nfs storage devices WITHOUT having to restart the ESX servers. I can stop the virtual machines that use the storage, but would like to avoid off ESX hosts as they require a visit to the data center for put in operation and I can do all the rest of the House.

  My options are either then restart the ESX host (that I can do it remotely of course) or the ESX Server restores in the nfs storage when it is up?

  This is the first time such a restart will be required so I use

  this as a learning experience and the VMs on those ESX hosts are not

  criticism.  (although don't tell users which.) )

  Thanks in advance

  Yes, of course you can.

  ESXes automatically reverts to the storage.

• Can we use use DELL R610 / R710 for execution of the ESX host?

  We will purchase a new server to run ESX 3.5 or vSphere.  We have new DELL servers.

  We considered R610 and R710, but we see that there are only 2 PCIe slots.  As one of them be given for an image ADDITIONAL NIC card, there is only one location for HBA.   It is advisable to use a Dual Channel QLogic QLE2462 HBA.

  However, it seems that the Dual Channel HBA will be a single point of failure - if it is connected to 2 different switches FC.  We would love to hear if anyone uses these DELL servers to run the ESX host.

  Thank you

  Good question, I would have preferred two HBA cards. If storage fails everything disappeared. If network failure you will not have access to the outside, but the chances of data corruption is smaller.

• ESX host will not use VMotion

  Hi all

  I have a question maybe someone can help.

  I installed two new ESX hosts in their own cluster, managed by a single data center environment.

  After the installation and updates, adding them to the Cluster environment and adding new licenses to the license server VC.

  I have one of the two ESX host who won't use VMotion. Everything is allowed as should be. But in the section of the Add On to the Configuration of the license, I see the following:

  VMware DRS Licensed for 2 cpu

  VirtualCenter for ESX Server Licensed agent for 2 cpu

  VMotion will not used

  VMware Consolidated Backup for 2 cpu license

  VMware HA under license for 2 cpu

  Additional details:

  Both servers in the cluster are identical hardware profiles: Intel 3.2Gig Xeon, 2 cavities 4 hearts, no HT.

  32Gig of RAM, (Proliant DL380 G5)

  The two servers connected to the SAN via Fibre Chanel Switch, redundant.

  Concert NIC ((VMNic 0 (Console 1), VMNic 1 (Standby adapter), VMNic 2 (Console 2) (the Virtual Machine Network), (VMkernel), (ports of vSwitch 56 none VLAN not defined) VMNic 3 (Standby adapter)).)

  No errors in the Logs of license, the Console message, etc. Everything seems in good health with no update needed.

  Both servers see the unique data store, created on the same SAN which it connects through the switch channel.

  VMFS 3.31.  Unique data store with several extensions (8 in total, the creation of a size of 15 to storage).

  Any ideas?

  All my other hosts using VMotion, but it does not work and there is no difference in configuration, I know.

  Thank you

  • FPTHREE

  Some of the most common problems that cause problems VMotion - have you enabled for VMotion vmkernel port? VMkernel ports on the same segments of entwork?

  Can you provide the ip addresses for your vmkernel enabled for vmotion -

• ESX host is listed in DVSwitch, but not in DVportgroups

  Hello

  I have the following in a CLuster (5.5 Vcenter, ESXi hosts 5.1) problem:

  I added a new ESX to the cluster (number 9 of ESX), then added 4 network cards to the DVSwitch (uses the LACP Protocol).

  In this DVSwitch I 2 DVportGroups / tag VLAN

  The problem is the host is listed in the tab "Hosts" in VCenter to level DVSwicth, but do not appear in the DVportgroups tabs (all hosts are listed here but not the last one..)

  vmk0 migrated successfully to the VLAN 1 St... but now, it appears limited to ""... I can migrate to the DVportGroup right... and VCenter says 'ok'... but nothing changes...

  I tried to migrate a virtual machine on the ESX (2nd VLAN) = > VM pings OK...

  So "technically" it works very well... but the ESX does NOT appear as members of DVportGroup.

  The problem appeared when I tried to deploy a vApp (antivirus) on the ESX... I'm stuck at the "select VLANS for the NETWORK card"... There is no VIRTUAL LAN in the list... (because the ESX host is no not part of any dvportgroup..)

  I tried "adding the ESX to the DVportGroup" after having asked for credentials, VCenter says 'ESX is already part of the pole '...

  Someone had this strange behavior?

  What can I do?

  Help!

  Best regards

  S

  I had a similar case, where the hosts have been posted under DVS, but not under DVS exchanges.

  A restart of vCenter Service fixed the problem. However, I was not deploy any TIME or such.

• b/w esx hosts VMotion using CF Storage share.

  Hi, I wanted to know the esx communicate anything to the storage when its doing a vmotion. Lets say I make a vmotion between 2 esxi hosts share the same storage. I have a private just vnic to vmotion and a separate management and logging FT.  My vmkernel default gateway is the management of vnic. I do all the fiber channel for the shared storage.

  Once a vmotion over, the new esx host must tell the storage that the vm now lives on me. If storage is all CF, how do?

  Yes, locks are on the VMFS file system, so the connection of storage is used.
