• 32-bit guest operating system installed on ESXi 5 but still shows CPU 64-bit

  Hi all:

  I installed a guest operating system 32-bit RH6.2 on ESXi 5

  

  But when I try to create 32-bit applications, it seems that the CPU is 64-bit

  

  Is this something that I'm not just doing?

  Thank you very much

  Morgan Yang

  The virtual machine behaves exactly like a physical machine in this regard.  Installation of a 32 bit OS does not make your CPU a 32-bit CPU.

  If you want to disable the 64-bit mode, add the following advanced configuration option:

  monitor_control.disable_longmode = TRUE

• Connect a NTFS HARD drive directly to the virtual system without format (ESXi 5.0)

  Hi, I am fairly new with ESXi and everything, so this may be a very stupid question. I installed ESXi 5.0 without any problem and it converted my old win Server 2008 without problem. Windows worked also as a data store and he had pretty much full 1 TB HARD drive connected to itself. Now, I would like to know how this HDD to NTFS to directly connect to this virtual machine. I can see the disk devices, but I could not find a way to connect to this computer. I wanted to make data store or something like that, but that in fact the data store is not possible without formatting the drive.

  I would be grateful for any suggestion. Thank you

  Welcome to the community,

  Although not supported (I suppose that the system is in any way a Whitebox) you could try to attach the drive as a ROW for the virtual machine. For how this can be done, take a look at http://www.vm-help.com/esx40i/SATA_RDMs.php

• Try to migrate a system existing to ESXi IDE

  We are trying to move a functional system of an IDE based system in Connecticut to a system of ESXi in Georgia.

  We used VMware VCenter Converter Standalone to create a backup image and then copied the files vmdk and vmx across the net for the network on which resides the ESXi system.

  I can't use this image; each approach is complaining about a missing catalog file.

  The wizard convert Machine allows me to select the file vmx, but if I click on see details of Source... or press the next button, it says "the source VMware Consolidated Backup '"
  Vs1\chris.garrigues\osn3\build.vmx' has a missing catalog file. »

  The vmx file contains:

  . Encoding = "windows-1252".
  config.version = '8 '.
  virtualHW.version = "7".
  memsize = "880".
  MemAllowAutoScaleDown = "FALSE".
  displayName = "build".
  guestOS = "winXPPro.

  pciBridge6.present = 'TRUE '.
  pciBridge6.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort"
  pciBridge7.present = 'TRUE '.
  pciBridge7.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort"

  I created a catalog by hand file and changed the symptoms, but given that I really didn't know what it should look like and simply copied the one I found with google and made some obvious changes, I'm not surprised that's all what I've accomplished.

  I'd rather not have to re - copy the image to the net because it is big enough, but I will if I have to.

  You have done a conversion to what? If you have been convert a physical machine to a virtual, what did you convert to. ESXi does not use version 7 of material or IDE drives so the VMX file wasn't for ESX. With the help of an existing drive does not work for hardware 7 vmdk format. You could try this start in vmware player to see if it boots. If that's the case then you can go through convert on a computer directly to the ESXi host. It should be able to perform the conversion.

• Extend the data via vSphere Client store - error ' call 'HostDatastoreSystem.QueryVmfsDatastoreExtendOptions' object 'ha-datastore System' on ESXi 'IP' failed '.

  Hi @all,

  I want to thank my datastore on my 5.1 esxi.

  When you extend the data store on the vSphere Client Console, I get the error message:

  German: Call von 'HostDatastoreSystem.QueryVmfsDatastoreExtendOptions' as Objekt "ha-datastoresystem" auf fehlgeschlagen ESXi 'IP' ist.

  English: Call 'HostDatastoreSystem.QueryVmfsDatastoreExtendOptions' to object "ha-store system data" in ESXi 'IP' failed

  Anyone an idea why I can't extend the data store? The new drive is correctly detected.

  Best regards

  Hello

  This seems to be a local data store. ? This is where the ESXi host is installed. ?

  Thank you

• Quick newb question: possible to 'navigate' the file on an ESXi host computer system remotely?

  As the subject says: is it possible to 'Browse' the file system to an ESXi host through a GUI tool on the server vCenter Server, instead of having to navigate this one via e.g. puTTY?

  JH

  OK... think about it. WinSCP and enabling SSH on the host computer ESxi is the key.

• Update firmware on esxi servers

  Hi all

  I plan to update firmware on my two Dell servers.

  Now my lack of Manager as an official document or the site who said that the updated firmware will be supported by the ESXi software.

  It's after the upgrade of the card of network/BIOS firmware etc, this will be supported by the ESXI version.

  The servers are already in production.

  Can someone direct me to the site where I checked the firmware compatibility against ESXi software please

  THX

  Concerning

  Nicolas

  Check the supported firmware versions listed for each system after selecting ESXi 6.0 (assuming you're going to the latest version)... This is as close as "documented" you will find.

  https://www.Dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/PowerEdge-R710/drivers

  Firmware updates do not change the compatibility.

  If you're worried, see the release notes for red flags.

• Install ESXi/ESX/Vsphere on a single isolated standalone workstation

  In the hardware compatibility list, I noticed that the HP Z840 workstation is compatible with ESXi/ESX/Vsphere. In fact, the HP Z840 is the only HP computer that is not a server and still included in this list of compatibility.

  For the moment, I have a unique stand-alone HP Z820 workstation.

  If I decide to upgrade to a new computer HP Z840 independent, I will be able to install, configure and use ESXi/ESX/Vsphere on it and install top one, two or more systems of guest OS designed to run simultaneously, without having to connect this workstation Z840 even temporarily on another computer, separate console or network?

  There are two types of virtualization-

  1 bare Metal virtualization-

  ESXi is a virtualization software, have you install directly on the physical server from bare metal hardware. ESXi is very compact.

  Then to manage ESXi host and create the virtual machine on ESXi host, you need a system more to run vSphere Client or use client Host.

  ESXi directly access physical resources, which improve the performance of virtual machines.

  2 hosted virtualization-

  VMware workstation is a hosted type virtualization software, install you it on any system Windows or Linux and then create virtual machine on it.

  Windows underlying system provides material resources to virtual machines created in workstation that's why you get no good performance of the VM as compare to ESXi

  Today VMware workstation 12 perform as well, if you simply create VMS to test or purpose LAB VMware workstation will also work.

  For good performance, then you must ESXi host at least a Client system to manage ESXi and VMs.

• Update for vsphere client and ESXi host, now getting errors

  Did a upgrade for my client vsphere, VMware-viclient-all - 6.0.0 - 3016447.exe file name

  Now I cannot view comments consoles, cannot add new guest OS (option is grayed out), and I get an error when the Client program starts (see first image)

  

  Here is the error when I try to view the console to the guest operating system. Can I use Remote Desktop connection to connect to the guest operating system (R2 for Windows Server 2012)

  

  Here is the version information

  

  Also improved the host system of the ESXi server to update to U1 using the VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 6.0.0.update01 - 3029758.x86_64.iso

  VMWare Tools never seems to complete the installation for the guest operating system.

  What can I do now?

  Client runs on a desktop computer Windows 7 Pro with 24 GB of RAM.

  ESXi is a server Dell Poweredge T110-2 with 32 GB of RAM

  I ran into the same issue and Re: VMware-viclient-all - 6.0.0 - 3016447.exe broke Console hosts 6.0 ESXi and ESXi 5.5 fixed it for me.

• Network card for ESXi 5.5 on 10 Workstation

  I have a comments 5.5 ESXi hypervisor running on a 5.5 ESXi hypervisor host. I used vCenter Standalone Converter 5.5.2 to convert the hypervisor of comments to a VMWare Workstation VM (v10).

  Now the network card is not recognized by the hypervisor of comments ESXI 5.5 running in workstation 10. Specifically, the error is "no compatible network adapter found. For a list of the cards taken in charge, please consult the Hardware Compatibility Guide (HCG) products'. Networking on the hypervisor of comments on the ESXi 5.5 running hypervisor host works very well.

  I tried to remove the adapter and recreate in my computer, and it didn't is not that many settings in VMWare Workstation for network cards so I don't know what I could do wrong.

  Notes:

  • I was originally the guest ESXi works normally on 10 Workstation (put in a network all worked) and I actually used the stand-alone converter to implement on the ESXi host in the first place. So from my point of view I basically just downloaded and then downloaded again and the network card has stopped working - but I'm sure it's more complicated than that.
  • I added vhv.enable = "true" in the vmx file twice after the conversion of the virtual machine.
  • I enabled 'Virtualiser EPT-x/Intel VT or AMD-V/IVR' in the settings of the processor.
  • The prompt that is running on the ESXi ESXi host, I had the network configured to be promiscuous, but I don't think I can do it again on my computer one because the ESXi guest cannot yet see the NIC at this stage.

  I believe that the default ethernet to guestOS adapter type 'other' is vLance.  Open the settings of the virtual machine and try to change the operating system invited to 'ESXi 5.x.

• Debian Wheezy 7 - iSCSI / LIO problem with ESXi 5.0

  Hi all

  I had a Debian Wheezy on a HP ML310e server. This server should be used as an iSCSI - storage server.

  Unfortunately I am not able to connect my 5.0 with LIO iSCSI target ESX servers.

  I used the implementation of LIO (targetcli) for iSCSI and I used the official installation manual Linux target SCSI - ISCSI.

  I know that the discovery of the Portal works, because when I enter the IP Address of storage in the dynamic discovery, the two portals of storage can be found. BUT any new features.

  I disabled the CHAP authentication, because I thought that it might have to do with it, but still no go.

  My Windows 2003 R2 64 bit backup server can connect without a problem.

  I have a feeling it's something small, but unfortunately I can't find any debugging or a newspaper for the login process.

  Here is some info on my system:

• Install ESXi on a Dell PowerEdge R820

  
  Greetings,

  I try to install ESXi on a Dell PowerEdge R820 server.  I have problems with the reason of the installation because the NETWORK adapter is not supported by the operating system (5.1 ESXi).  I did a little research and discovered that there are custom versions of ESXi out there to install on vaious systems.  That would be the problem?  If so, does anyone know a particluar website that I might be able to get the correct version of ESXi 5.1 for this server dell PowerEdge R820.
  Here are the specs:
  Dell PowerEdge R820 - RAID 5
  Interface NETWORK Broadcom 1 GB card

  Xeon processors (w / 8 cores)
  512 GB RDIMMS
  3 x 146 GB SAS hot plug hard drive

  Any help would be great!  Thank you!!
