• Support for Windows 2008 R2 in vCenter Server 2.5 U4 and 4.0

  I'll have no problem creating models in both versions of vCenter Server. The question arises when you try to deploy the model to the Customization Wizard help. Under 4.0, it immediately comes up as not supported (7 64 windows server). Minus 2.5 U4, there is no tag for Windows 2008 R2 OS.

  Support for this OS will be released in a next update on both vCenter servers (specifically the Customization Wizard)?

  Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 is not supported with vSphere yet but experimental and should be supported subsequently released but they're working on it. You can run the wizard of customization with Windows 2008 however, here's how the instructions http://vinf.net/2009/07/09/how-to-deploy-a-windows-2008-server-from-a-template-with-vsphere/

• Mac OS x 10.8 support for ESXi 5.1

  Hello world

  Looking at the notes of relase for the 5.1 ESXi update, looks like I can install MAC OSX 10.8 on ESXi now. I followed the instructions below vmware site

  http://PartnerWeb.VMware.com/GOSIG/MacOSX_10_8.html

  Now installing crosses very well until he needs to reboot once done. The first error I get in the vmware.log file is a. vcpu0 - hostsmcread could not open the playerlooking for answers in the world, I decided to change the input .vmx as follows: smc.present = false

  Starting the virtual machine back up I now get this error: GuestRpcSendTimedOut: message to the box to tools-DND expired

  No idea what I should try. It also looks like his tent install VMware Tools.

  Also, I wanted to know about licenses. Im not clear if I'm reached unrestricted license trying to run MAX OSX on ESXI. There was some talk everything through forums, I wanted just to have a clear answer

  Any help on these questions would be appreciated

  Hi DForneiro,

  If you get an error in HostSmcRead, I would hazard a guess that you run ESX host non-Apple machine.  Apple Mac OS X to support software license conditions require that the OS runs at the top of the Apple hardware, even when virtualized.  We rely on specific Apple hardware on the host computer in order to activate virtual machines in Mac OS virtualization, so if it is not a host of Apple, Mac OS X does not start.  A failure in HostSmcRead means that we were unable to communicate with the hardware required host.

  If you are using host of Apple hardware, I'd be interested to know the details, because the failure you see would be something that we want to determine and fix... Otherwise, what you are not allowed by the Apple ALS and we will not be able to help you here.

  See you soon,.

• not supported for ESXi 4 NIC... Can I simply add a NETWORK card?

  Maybe it's painfully obvious, but I don't want to assume anything.  I tried to install ESXi 4u1 this morning on a machine just to see if it would work, and I have not reported any supported network cards.  Can I buy a NETWORK card support and then ESXi 4 will work?  Is it really as simple as that, or is there some other stuff that I'm not aware of?

• Support for multiple instances of vSphere vCenter

  I installed the demo of (construction 4.4.0 - EE #1509 - July 28, 2010 - Release Build) Hyperic 4.4 company Web site to test the support of monitoring VMware vSphere 4.0.
  
  I have installed an agent Win32 on W2003 server which hosts the 4.0U2 of vSphere vCenter server and configured it. Once resources have been configured, I edited the VMware vCenter resource to add a user/password valid and after a short while the ESXi host servers and virtual machines appeared in the vSphere browse/HQ screen. Everything works well.
  
  I then tried to add a different vCenter server with its own ESXi host servers (with a new agent installed on W2003 this server) and that's where the problem starts. After that I added the name of user and password in the detail of the vCenter inventory, new ESXi and VM guests begin to appear under "recently added". When I go to the screen of vSphere browse/HQ original vCenter disappeared and a mixture of the other vCenter servers host and its own host servers appear under the vCenter newly added.
  
  I would be able to monitor the 2 different vCenter servers?

  Multiple vcenter instances are supported.  When you configure the resource, be sure to use the IP address of the box instead of the default loop address.  When HQ sees multiple vcenters air-conditioned and come with 127.0.0.1 in the URL of SDK, it blends.  Configuring IP should solve the problem you are experiencing.

• Official support for nested virtualization VMware

  VMware officially supports virtualization nested in production with ESX 5.5 environments?

  This article implies VMware does not support, but fails to mention ESXI 5.5:

  VMware KB: Support for ESXi/ESX implementation as a nested virtualization solution

  This document is kind of contradict:

  Nested VMs running

  It is said:

  "Virtualisee HV is fully supported for hardware virtual version 9 or 10 virtual machines on the hosts that support Intel VT - x or AMD - V and EPT of IVR. To enable virtualized HV, select VM-> settings and navigate to the processor settings screen. Check the box next to 'Virtualiser Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/IVR.'

  And a fe down paragraphs:

  "ESX (i) can be used as a hypervisor reviews to learn more about the VMware Server products, experiment with Server installation, training, show demos and configurations of test." VMware does not support nested ESX (i) servers running in production environments. ESX (i) problems running in a nested configuration fall outside the agreements of level of Service and Support of VMware. »

  The article quoted deals only ESXi as a guest.

  Virtualized HV is supported as a CPU function virtual when used by a Type 2 hypervisor running under any operating system supported by.

• Change the permissions for a particular user on a host ESXi 4.0 U2 CLI (Perl SDK)

  Hello

  I have an ESXi 4.0 U2 host, multiple virtual machines are working. Each VM has

  Some users in the annex (via permissions). For example, there is a

  user called "vm002", which has customized "VM user" role and is

  assigned to certain virtual machines. So the question is... How can I change the role of

  This user? I want to be able to automate the blocking of this user by

  the definition of his role on all VMs available on 'No access' (default system

  blocked role with all functions). I use Perl SDK, please provide some

  script or a code sample, how can be done.

  Thank you.

  As an attachment, you can find the script (ChangeRole.pl) that changes a role (rolename) to a user (setuser) or for all the selected vm or vm on the host (parameter optional vmname)

  ./--server esx --username root --password password --setuser user01 --rolename testrole2
  Check user user01 for vm "vm-001"
   For vm "vm-001" retrieved Permissions Successfully.
  The user user01 does not have a role for vm "vm-001"

• ESXi nested 5.0 FT question-> i7-2600, not supported for FT?

  Hi guys, I had an i7-2600 on a motherboard ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen 3 as a whitebox ESXi 5.0 configuration.

  I virtualized 2 ESXi 5.0 in a cluster with a nested running Linux VM vMotion & Storage vMotion works very well.

  
  If I turn on the FT central while nested VM is running, I get this error:
  The virtual machine is running in a monitor mode that is not compatible to the fault tolerance.

  If I stop the nested VM and enable FT, I met following th:
  An unexpected error was received from the ESX host turning on VM vm-441.
  Unable to access the mode for fault tolerance.
  Recording/playback is supported for VMS 64-bit only on some processors. Cancellation of recording/playback.
  
  I applied the settings of such reading mentioned in http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2011/07/how-to-enable-nested-vft-virtual-fault.html
  the Linux VM nested.

  Stock of Intel VT physics 5.0 ESXi host and two guests of vESXi:
  ~ # esxcfg-info | grep "HV Support"
  |----HV Support............................................ 3
  | - World Command Line... grep HV Support

  SiteSurvey on the host physical and vESXi hosts all showed:
  Intel Core i7-2600 3.40 GHz CPU processor type is not supported by FT.

  Am I right to say that in my current setup nested FT should work if I changed the CPU to one of those enrolled in
  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1008027

  OR are having at least 2 physical ESX hosts the only way to have the full support of the FT?

  I'm sorry.  I would have paid special attention to your message.  FT is not actually supported in a nested environment.  Proofreading of the translation binary (replay.allowBTOnly) is not supported and is available for 32 - bit reduced nested.

• Support USB for ESXi

  Hello community.

  There is very little son on ESX 3.0/3.5 and Console of service support for USB devices, so I won't re-collection of information here.  SC is really version of Red Hat Linux, USB support is incorporated.

  (But not for the Virtual Machine hosts individual granted.)

  My question is about support and USB for ESXi connectivity options.

  ESXi does not have a Service Console based on linux but the implementation of BusyBox OS to help with management of the hyper-visiere tasks, how USB support built-in. Support must certainly be there for bootable USB and also more rack KVM now have USB keyboards.

  Just a question how to go into the options of USB support?  If SC, then I could use commands #mount and #cp... but no SC as shown above, also no space available in most of the cases on local storage.

  Thank you and I will reward points quickly.  Looking for ideas on how to use the USB of ESXi connectiivty options.

  If you want the contents of the disc to be visible from the VI client, Yes, you can use VMFS3 as the file system.  If you want to just level console access to the contents of the device (for example a "not supported" or "Not supported SSH" connections), you can use VFAT.  The best way to create a filesystem VMFS3 on this is to use storage management in the VI Client.  I tried not to add additional USB drives, so I'm not sure it will work 100%.

  In the CLI, you should be able to look in/dev/disks and see all the disks on the system.  You can use fdisk-l/dev/discs / vmhba32\:0\:0\:0 to see the current map of partition of a disk (in this case, disk0 on vmhba32, which is actually the USB on my ESXi machine).  You should also be able to use fdisk to create a partition (type should be fb) for a new store VMFS.  You can then use vmkfstools to create a file system on the partition that you create - for example: vmkfstools vmfs3 - C/dev/discs / vmhba32\:0\:0\:1.  Be careful with this command, you get the correct HBA, disk and partition number, as wrong could wipe out something important.

• Where can I get support for Bluetooth SDK

• Capture the statistical support for VMware Cluster

  Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my question.  In the near future I will have a cluster vmware small I need to generate reports of use of resources on.  I saw a tool called queryperf which seems to provide for all my needs and then some, but I'm not sure how get or use this tool.

  I normally just jump on an esx host and try the command to see if I have it but I'm traveling at the moment and do not have access to one.

  To wrap this up, I'm very keen to learn the following:

  How no one acquires queryperf?

  Where the tool lauched from?  (by this I mean: guest operating system, command-line esx host, ect)

  How to run on a cluster vm instead of a single server/client integer.

  Thank you for reading my post and I thank you for your help.

  I'm not aware of a tool called queryPerf, but there is a VI API method called queryPerf() that allows you to query the performance data of your vCenter/ESX (i) /VM (s) http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk25pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.PerformanceManager.html#queryStats

  A great place to start to look for some samples or past issues/scripts/utilities that could be used to question the different associated performance stats is the VI API forums: http://communities.vmware.com/community/developer/managementapi?start=0

  There are also a few utilities preset that you can watch, onethat may be of interest is the viperformance.pl which is part of the VI Perl Toolkit Utilities http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/viperl15/doc/perl_toolkit_utilities_idx.html

  Also, here is a collection of news and recent documentation concerning the performance collection/analysis using VI SDK/API: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9840

  Recently, VMware has started a new podcast for developers called the Coffee Talk where various topics concerning VI SDK/API/scripting/etc will be covered and the first two were related to the new vSphere SDK but she also had a lot of good practices on the collection of performance data that relate to the current VI 3.5 and coming vSphere 4.0 that you might find useful : http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9912

  You will be able to use the queryPerf() call in various set of programming languages (Perl, c#, .NET, PowerShell, etc) who can communicate with the VI SDK via the SOAP API. Depending on the platform and what type of data you want to collect, this should help you get started.
