Store of data sharing between 4 ESX and ESXi 5

Hello

I have a vSphere environment 4.1 with a vCenter and a cluster of 3 ESX 4.1 access to the content of data through fiberchanel (type scneario) warehouses.

And now I need to install a new ESXi 5.x (cannot be a different version) in a separate environment, outside of the current vCenter, BUT to access the warehouses of data even as the cluster of vSphere 4 current.

Anyone know if there should be no problem sharing between 4 ESX and ESXi 5 access to the same data storage?

Thanks in advance

As long as the FC zoning is configured properly, avoid all the problems.   ESXi 5 will be able to see the data created by ESX4 VMFS3 stores, it will not be able to create the same size of virtual machine he can on a 5 VMFS datastore.

  • Is it possible to use GPFS or another build is a SAN storage shared for multiple ESX and ESXi hosts?

    We have a license GPFS and SAN storage. I am trying to create a storage shared for multiple ESX and ESXi hosts share existing virtual machines. We tried once NFS, it of a little slow and consume too much bandwidth LAN.

    Anyone can help answer? Thank you very much in advance!

    It depends on your storage space.

    You must connect all hosts to the same San, then follow the configuration guide of ESXi and specific documentation for your storage space (for sharing LUNS on multiple hosts).

  • Problem to create the Internet connection sharing between Windows XP and Windows Vista.

    Original title: Internet connection sharing between Windows XP and Windows Vista.

    Hello

    Recently, I plugged a laptop running Windows XP to a desktop computer running Windows Vista using a standard Ethernet cable with the intention of use sharing of Internet connection. The notebook contains a wireless connection that I've routed to the office via the cable said.  While the initial phase of installation went well (I was too lazy to do it manually, so I just used the Wizard "Set up a home or small business network" Windows XP,) I had to turn off the host computer to install a program. When I tried to set up ICS again, I couldn't connect to the Internet by using ICS. After this failure, I tried to configure the properties of TC/IPv4 (IP, gateway by default, etc.) manually, but I still couldn't run.  I am able to access the shared host PC and client files. It seems to me that some service essential to the proper functioning of the ICS may be disabled in some way, but it's just speculation, as I have no evidence of such a service. Help would be most appreciated.

    Thank you

    I tried this before using a laptop to share internet with my 360.  problem is there was Nat on the router, and it is in contradiction with the ics.

    Anyway long story short I did some research on the Internet and discovered that if you're behind a router ICS will be confllict with her, as ICS also does routing. a much better option is to "bridge the conections ' on the laptop.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/hnw_bridge_install.mspx?mfr=true

    If you go this route, you need to set a static ip address for the office,

    Either that or if you want to continue using ICS put the laptop in the DMZ in the router may help, but it will be less secure.

    Hope that this helped good luck

  • Differences between ESX and ESXi

    Hai,

    As I am new to VI environment I doubt that where features ESX and ESXi are different, it may be stupid but can help me a lot.

    Hello

    Please check the link to the differences between ESX and ESXi below.

    http://www.VMware.com/products/vSphere/ESXi-and-ESX/compare.html

    Please note ESX is present in version 3.x, 4.x. starting vsphere 5.0, we have only ESXi.

    ESXi doesnot have a service console and has the smallest footprint of 70 MB and so is safer and more reliable, because it has a smaller surface set.

    Please allow points if you find the article useful.

    Thank you

  • ESX and ESXi

    What are the fundamental differences between ESX and ESXi. Someone could it say please interview point of view. Just need about 4 to 5 differences.

    Thank you

    Prashant

    The difference between ESX and ESXi, ESX was the classic version with a dedicated Service console embarked with him, however, ESXi is the version of Vsphere without the Console service. Because ESXi is without the service console, so its size is very small and its called summer have footprint small disc. With the release of VSphere VMware 5.0 and later versions has deprecated the classic ESX version there is therefore no now unavailable ESX and we only ESXi now.

  • DRS cluster: You can mix 4.1 ESX and ESXi 4.1?

    Not very complext, but we have a DRS cluster of 8 hosts x 3850 of IBM on ESX 4.1 and we will upgrade them both to ESXi 4.1 update 1.  There will be questions mixing a cluster of ESX and ESXi servers?

    Yes, 100% supported!  both are the same hypervisor, so you should have no problem running in the same cluster.  After all it is the best way to do a upgrade spread, and how we made our move between ESX and ESXi.

    Very much appreciated to help him.

    Kind regards

    I suspect that you posted your question to the wrong thread

    This requires only a minor change to the script above actually.

    Something like that

    $groupName = "group"$accountName = "user"$accountPswd = "password"$accountDescription = "A user"
    
    $esxlist = Get-VMHostforeach($esx in $esxlist){    Connect-VIServer -Server $esx -User root -Password "password"
    
        Try {      Get-VMHostAccount -Id $groupName -Group -ErrorAction Stop | Out-Null    }    Catch {      New-VMHostAccount -Id $groupName -GroupAccount | Out-Null    }
    
        $rootFolder = Get-Folder -Name ha-folder-root    Try{        $account = Get-VMHostAccount -Id $accountName -ErrorAction Stop |        Set-VMHostAccount -Password $accountPswd -Description $accountDescription -AssignGroups $groupName    }    Catch{        $account = New-VMHostAccount -Id $accountName -Password $accountPswd -Description $accountDescription -UserAccount -GrantShellAccess -AssignGroups $groupName    }
    
        $rootFolder = Get-Folder -Name ha-folder-root    New-VIPermission -Entity $rootFolder -Principal $account -Role admin
    
        Disconnect-VIServer -Confirm:$false}
    
  • Script - missing and hotfixes installed for ESX and ESXi

    Can I have the script i.e. missing and hotfixes installed for ESX and ESXi using the CLI power only? out put should be csv format

    You reset the content of the table $Results on each iteration of the baseline.

    Try like this

    $Results = @()
    foreach($esx in Get-VMHost) {
      foreach($baseline in (Get-Compliance -Entity $esx -Detailed | where {$_.Status -eq "NotCompliant"})){
        $Results += $baseline.CompliantPatches |    Select @{N="Host";E={$esx.Name}},    @{N="Status";E={"Compliant"}},    @{N="Baseline";E={$baseline.Baseline.Name}},Name,ReleaseDate,IdByVendor,    @{N="KB";E={(Select-String "(?http://[\w|\.|/]*\w{1})" -InputObject $_.Description).Matches[0].Groups['url'].Value}}
    
        $Results += $baseline.NotCompliantPatches |    Select @{N="Host";E={$esx.Name}},    @{N="Status";E={"NotCompliant"}},    @{N="Baseline";E={$baseline.Baseline.Name}},Name,ReleaseDate,IdByVendor,    @{N="KB";E={(Select-String "(?http://[\w|\.|/]*\w{1})" -InputObject $_.Description).Matches[0].Groups['url'].Value}}
      }
    }
    $Results
    

    It will give the installed and lack of patches which are defined in the non-compliant baslines related to the ESXi host.

    If you want to see all the lines, also the most consistent, omit the Where clause on the base line (foreach) loop.

  • VMotion with ESX and ESXi in the same cluster.

    My client wants to spend his whole army ESX 4.0 to ESXi 4.1 host. I know that it requires a clean install of the host. But vMotion always works in a cluster with a mix of the host ESX 4.0 and ESXi 4.1?

    You will be fine to have a mixed group of ESX and ESXi hosts.

  • Data shared between applications

    Hi all!

    I am writing a small application, and I wanted to separate the user interface in two applications to reduce by clicking. But they have a lot of data in common, so I thought that maybe I should have a third application that manages just the push / pull aspect? I'm doing exactly how (if we can) share data between two applications?

    An XML document or something like that would be perfect. Maybe a few pictures, if I'm really lucky.

    I would also say RuntimeStore if data should not be persistent and the images become large, then don't look to put it on the SD card.  You can also consider RMS store, but for a native Blackberry application, the other options are probably better.

    You can store an XML document in all these places, but this means that you will allow the analysis whenever you need to get some data from it and/or update some information there.  PersistentStore and RuntimeStore are object storage, you can store the object analyzed, what could be more effective.

    Suggestions apply to date only if the data is dynamic, if the data is static (for example, the code and still images), then you can create a shared library that is used by both applications.

    I think that all of these options are discussed to some extent in the developer's Guide, I would say you have one skimmed through here.

  • Switching between ESX and ESXi

    I currently have 3 servers with 1 running an Openfiler SAN with my VM on them.  I have on the other 2 servers what ESX installed on SATA hard drives.  Now I want to install ESXi on a USB pen because of the license of the ESX trial and wanting a more permanent Setup for my lab at home (still need to study ESX on and wasting his time with for my VCP I intend to take in 2011).  I want to put in place a system dual boot where I can either start in ESX or ESXi.  My question is if I say a VM in ESX I'll be able to see that VM in ESXi or vice versa (or at least be able to import them)?

    Cheers for any help.

    Yes, you can, as long as the ESX or ESXi the can access the openfiler VMFS (you may need to represent as the IQN name would change after). Browse the data store > folder VM - > right click on the vm - name.vmx and save the virtual machine. Maximum power and there you go...

  • Difference between ESX and ESXi in production?

    Hello

    I was asked to meet my client from my manager what difference does it make if I used ESX or ESXi in our world of production.

    Except I can't think of a logical reason to use on ESX ESXi... Any ideas please?

    Thanks in advance!

    PS - I know the basic difference between these two have read a few articles, but nothing gives me a practical reason to choose ESXi.

    Since reliese the Service Console on ESX - which is based on RHEL - the reason that VMware moves to only ESXi is it eliminates the need to patch the Service Console and makes it more secure host.

  • sharing between ESXi3.5 and ESX4 vmfs volume

    Is it possible to share a LUN with a vmfs between ESXi3.5 and ESX4 servers?

    IM upgrading to ESX4 and wanted to know if I can share the volume between the old and new guests and migrate virtual machines gradually. I read that the vmfs specification has not changed between 3.5 and 4, it should be possible to share beween 3.5 and 4.

    Is it possible?, supported?, not recommended?

    Hello

    I assume you mean shared storage?

    To answer your question. Yes that is supported and this is the route that most of the people.

    Storage is compatible.

    As soon as you upgrade virtual hardware of your virtual machine it can be started from a vSphere host.

  • Problem of file sharing between Windows 7 and Vista using a working group

    I use a working group and have a shared folder on a computer that is running Windows 7 Home Premium. I'm trying to access the file from a computer on the same workgroup that is running Vista Business. It requires a username and password that I turn off password protected sharing on both computers and tried all combinations of accounts and passwords on both computers, but can not get access to the file. I'm sure I'm missing something and you would appreciate the help.
