Tests of vmotion, DRS HA grouping in one box

Hi all:

I have a server decommisioned HP proliant, I try to use to test ESX/learning. What I'm trying to accomplish is to install at least two servers ESX and iscsi Opefiler to test vmotion, DRS, and HA. I tried VM ESX on a nesting ESX Server and I get the error 'no network device found' supported. Have you tried to do it all on a single box. Please help, I am new to vmware and try to learn as much as possible.

Ciao

  • Prices (not storage vmotion) vmotion, DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduler) features available in ESXi cluster?

    Prices (not storage vmotion) vmotion, DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduler) features available in ESXi cluster?

    I thought that ESXi is a correct free download?

    Yes and no. ESXi Hypervisor binaries are the same for all editions (free and paid). It depends only on the license key that you have what features are available and if you can add an instance of vCenter server host.

    If you just want to test vSphere, you can sign up for a free 60-day trial (no required license key) during this period, all the features of the 'Business Plus' edition are available.

  • Moving installation of cluster COE from one box to another box

    We want to move the WCC existing (cluster) from one box to another box (the two unix). We have the cluster / folder {who have records cs /, vault /, weblayout /} on the drive shared, mounted in the source running on 11.1.1.6.0 machine.

    We installed the same facility in the destination area. We want to follow the steps below to move the config., destination data source.

    (1) stop the source servers.

    (2) modify the details of the db in destination of weblogic in the source db console.

    (3) remove the shared / source folder and mount in the destination area. (The vault, weblayout, cs files will be mapped directly to destination ucm)

    The other qns we are

    (1) the above steps are correct and COE will work without any problem.

    (2) do, the houses of the area must be synchronized (because the destination area is a fresh installation)


    Just to test, I copied the cluster/cs / source folder to the destination and destination of the content servers are working properly. (I did not copy arch / weblayout and changing the db)

    I saw an article on cloning of WCC servers

    It is Possible to Clone content Webcenter 11g? (Doc ID 1507480.1()

    He said the documentation http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/core.1111/e10105/testprod.htm#ASADM11306

    Narasa salvation,

    Yes, the steps you listed should be fine, as long as the details of the path are kept on the new host.

    Hello

    I use DRS-rules to place virtual machines to a host selected in a Cluster group.

    The poblem is that I did not find methods to change (add new virtual machines) to an existing group of DRS 'Virtual Machine '.

    Hi Willibald,

    I did some research in the VMware vSphere SDK and made two functions Get-DrsGroup and VmToDrsGroup Add to add one or more virtual machines to a ClusterVmGroup. Some examples of how to use these function exists in the code. If you have added these features to your PowerCLI session, you can use Get-Help to get information about these functions. And also for the examples. For example Get-Help add-VmToDrsGroup-full.

  • Adding version 9.0.2 PS6110 to a group with one Member running 8.1.3

    I have an existing PS6210 running Firmware PS 8.1.3 production. It is the only member of the group, eqlgroup. We have acquired a PS6100, I spun it and it is a member of his own group, eqltestgroup.

    The PS6110 is currently running Firmware PS 8.1.4 and I want to update 9.0.2 before adding it to the production group, eqlgroup (to save me the task of updating the thing with data of production on this subject).

    Can I upgrade the firmware of the PS6110 to 9.0.2 and then add it to the production group? Eqlgroup will accept the PS6110 after the update? Or do I have to update the 8.1.4 PS6210 (if I don't update the PS6110) or the version 9.0.2 (if I update the PS6110 in 9.0.2)?

    Honestly, I really want to test myself, but I don't want to do this kind of thing on the production orders. Your advice is very much appreciated,

    All members of a group must run on the same level FW. Only during a short period of time, a mixed configuration is allowed.

    If you do not add the PS6100 in your production group, I suggest to update your EQLs 8.1.4 first production.

    BTW. something you should consider... mixture of 10G and 1 G units within a group or the connection to the host even Cluster may not be the best idea.

    Concerning
    Joerg

    PS: for us the 9.x fw comes at the beginning and we stay quiet 8.1.x sometime

  • Script to check the DRS VM groups?

    Hello guys,.

    I want to know if you could give me an idea on how to check the DRS of VM groups on my cluster.

    DRS group are created with a shared identifier that is common on the VM too. For example: VMS DRS group R125 must include each VM name "R125" is included (such as VM-R125-001).

    First of all, I would like to work on a script that will be able to detect if certain VM are not in their groups of DRS corresponding VM (by listing for example) and later add an e-mail notification if possible.

    I would like to know if you could give me some advice on how to run this script, what cmdlet should I use, etc.

    Thank you very much

    Kind regards

    Benedict.

    EDIT: VM DRS group and not of DRS rules

    Try like this

    Import-Module DRSRule

    #

    # Specifications cluster

    $cluster1 = "ClusterName".

    $cluster = get-Cluster-name $cluster1

    #

    #for each customer ID.

    foreach ($Group in (Get-DrsVMGroup-Cluster $cluster))

    {

    # Get all the virtual machines that match the groupID

    $vms = get-VM-name 'vm-$($Group.Name)-01"- location $cluster | Select name

    # Compare 2 results

    $result = compare-Object - referenceobject $Group.VM - DifferenceObject $vms

    # Display the result

    Write-Output "missing DRS rule $([string]: join (($result |))). where {$_.} SideIndicator - eq "=>"} | Select ExpandProperty - InputObject,)' | ')) »

    Write-Output "be deleted from the rule DRS $([string]: join (($result |))). where {$_.} SideIndicator - eq '<='} |="" select="" -expandproperty="">

  • Drs host group management and the vm

    Hey guys I was reading the website Arnims how to create drs with the command groups can be new-drsgroup which looked really nice that you can do.

    But in powercli 5 allowing the command is no longer there.

    If anyone knows what happened with her or the replacement. Because im a large deployment and we must automate host placed in the correct when host groups that they placed in the correct cluster.

    The link to the Arnims post is http://www.van-lieshout.com/2011/06/drs-rules/

    Best regards, Boris

    New-DrsVmGroup is a function that is planned Arnim hist post in Listing 1.

    An ay to present them to your scripts is to save the code of Arnim in a .ps1, then point source this .ps1 file

    . ./New-DrsVmGroup.ps

    Note the space between the 2 points.

    You will now be able to call a cmdlet New-DrsVmGroup.

    Similar to the new DrsHostGroup (list 2) and new-DRSVMToHostRule (listing 3).

    You can also put all 3 functions in 1 .ps1 file and point source this file.

    Update: I can find no mention of a New-DrsGroup cmdlet in Arnim station
