• ESXi and Virtual Center

  Hello

  I am currently running esx 3.5 and VC 2.5.

  I have a lot of spare equipment (thanks to VMware ) and had the idea to install esxi use local storage on some of them and use them for testing.

  (1) can import these boxes esxi in my esx virtual center server to manage (is not part of my clusters) and no intendion HA DRS Vmotion etc and therefore still free licience or do I need a licience esxi VC?

  (2) what I could use to migrate mailboxes to existing test of esx with SAN to my local storage under esxi, converter Enterprise Edition or just simply copy and paste on the network?

  Thanks in advance

  Joe

  Don't forget to backup EVERYTHING before you change anything

  (1) manage ESXi boxes requires additional licenses for VC agent on them, you can't do this with the free version.

  (2) converter would be the simplest solution (Standalone v4 is now available, for free, no more distinction between free/enterprise)

• How to remove the host esx 3.5 virtual Center

  Can't find info on how to do to remove the host esx virtual center.

  How to do?

  THX.

  Right-click on your host in the left pane and click Disconnect and then once it is disconnected you can right click on the host again and click on Remove and which removes the host to vCenter.

• File transfers slow of ESXi to Virtual Center (physical)

  VCenter is attached with 1 Gb ethernet

  ESXi systems are 10 GB ethernet

  iSCSI is about 10 GB ethernet

  When I 'Browse the data store' and go to download a large file (.tar), since the iSCSI that transfer data store is very slow (despite being fast for normal activities of VM).  It works most of the time, sometimes reaching more than 70-80% briefly before returning less than 1% less than 1%.  Here is the graph of the network even if a transfer is in progress:

  

  No idea why this is happening?

  Hello

  It's really weird, have you tried to download the file using WinSCp or of Veeam FastSCP? If not, give it a try with one of the tools.

  What is the transfer between vCenter and other servers? Maybe that's a problem with the settings of duplex of incompatibility between the card port and switch network vCenter?

• Recognize the remains of alarms in Virtual Center

  Hello

  Why certain alarms in vcenter stay visible when I recognize them? as this alarm I recognised 2012-07-24

  guests have the warning triangle.

  

  Concerning

  Christer S

  everything said VKernel is / was the device.  If you no longer use it, remove the alarm.  Because this alarm technically no longer exists, it is probably why you can't delete it or reset it to the green.

• With the help of ESXi and vCenter

  Hi all, I have some doubts on the use of ESXi and Virtual Center.

  Recently, we have set up 2 servers ESX with Virtual Center, all allowed in the Standard edition to have an available shared storage and HA.

  Our idea is to set up a new server with ESXi installed for testing purposes.

  Is possible to manage this server ESXi with our real VirtualCenter or we need a license? This particular server does NOT use shared storage or HA.

  Thanks for your help!

  Kind regards

  Diego

  Yes, you need a license for ESXi manage VirtualCenter. You can purchase the license to the Foundation. Please see the license attached (on page 3)

• Stuck to the configuration of the license server to the virtual Center

  Hi all

  I tried to configure VI3 on my laptop and did almost all the configurations below

  I created as a result of VM on my laptop on Vmware workstation 6.5

  -2 Esx 3.5 Server

  -1 open run VM SAN

  -Center Virtual Win2k3 VM

  Everything is going well so far the esx servers start in 5 minutes and SAN targets are visible. But I don't see the Vmotion option on my virtual Center Server (probably because I n, t configured license server).

  I try to add the file licesnse to the file licsencse on the server of VMware, but still no help. I din, t get any mail from vmware with licenses in so attachment.

  anyidea what can be done here?

  Thanks in advance

  Anuj

  Hello

  Okay, I think that the license server is already there.

  is how to enable vmotion

  in each of your esx hosts

  go to the tab slot-> choose the networking-> click Properties of the vSwitch that is connected to your network vmotion (it must be a network of vmkernal)-> select the vmotion network in the new window and click on edit-> click on the box where it says enable vmotion.

  do this for both servers.

• Using of MS Cluster HA providing virtual Center 4.0

  Hi, we currently use ESX3.5 and Virtual Center 2.5, I'm about to start an update on all our services for 4.0 VSphere and virtual Center 4.0.  For the moment, we have a node two MS Cluster to connect to the DAS storage that supports Virtual Center 2.5.  I need to know if 1: VCentre 4.0 is supported running on a MS Cluster and 2: are there documents describing the process to create the cluster group.

  I did this several times for VCenter 2.5, but I am not able to find info on VCentre 4 and all my research seems to lead me VCentre Heartbeat.

  Any help is appreciated.

• Virtual Center running in a virtual machine

  Are there problems during the installation and execution of Virtual Center in a virtual machine?

  1. I have 4 r900

  2. I will install Virtual Center on a virtual hosted by a computer the first r900.

  3. create a cluster via Virtual Center that has been installed on the virtual machine residing on the

  first r900.

  4. I'll add the other 3 r900 to the cluster.

  5. Finally, I propose the r900 with the VM virtual Center in the cluster managed by this virtual machine.

  So my question what would be the impact on the VM virtual Center?

  Is this an acceptable solution?

  Hello

  I agree no problem, unless you have a problem on the host computer that contains your VC you have to be able to solve the problem of the esx console.

• Virtual Center crashes regularly...

  Hi guys,.

  Here's my problem. . Every hour or two Virtual Center stops responding for at least a minute of usually two. If you check execution of the Task Manager on the server of VC SQLservice consumes 50% of the CPU. I am running a local instance of SQL for the VC. I run virtual Center on a server that also ran Veeam Backup server at a time. The server is running anything else. I have no idea on what SQL is trying to do during this period. I used SQL studio to check if there is some sort of work of compression running against the DB or something but I don't see anything there.

  Someone at - it ideas? Is it possible to move the local database to the virtual center to a dedicated SQL server without having to reinstall?

  Yes it's possible, detach from the db and re - join your dedicated sql server.

  Once you do this, change your DSN (ODBC connections) to point to the new sql server

  When was the last time that you have backed up your database (commit transaction logs)

• Beyond the performance data not available to a host through Virtual Center

  
  Hello

  I have an ESXi host that relates to the ' No Data Available ' under his paw through Virtual Center performance. Fine appears real-time performance data, but the latest data are not appear and give the error as "No Data Available".

  Within the cluster of 4 hosts, alone is to have the point above. Others are appearing fine performance data.

  In another cluster host ESXi too connected to the same vCenter, I see one of the host is to have a similar question.

  I checked:

  • All work Rollup SQL is run successfully the default schedule.
  • Restarted vpxa service connection to the host directly using the vsphere client.

  I followed the KB article http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2007388 . as suggested in the article when I run the Sub SQL query I see there is no data within who. 

  exec sp_spaceused vpx_hist_statx

  name	lines	reserved	data	index_size	unused
  VPX_HIST_STAT1	NULL VALUE	NULL VALUE	NULL VALUE	0 KB	0 KB

  The output is similar (no data) if I run these queries:

  exec sp_spaceused vpx_hist_stat2

  exec sp_spaceused vpx_hist_stat3

  exec sp_spaceused vpx_hist_stat4

  Current configuration:

  ESXi 5.1.0 799733

  vCenter Server 5.1.0 Build 1123961

  Please help solve this.

  I actually planned for the downtime of the host and restarted it.

  Although loading performance data now.

  Thank you!

• Update ESXi with a Virtual Center Server

  Hello

  I've updated a Standalone ESXi server using this guide

  http://www.vmadmin.co.UK/VMware/35-esxserver/262-esxvihostupdate

  It works the same way during the updating of the ESXi servers that are under a virtual Center Server?

  Thank you

  as part of the upgrade, using Crossover, a new vCenter agent is pushed. So, no, you don't break anything.

• How to install the additional drivers on ESXi 4.0 U1

  Hello...

  I had a problem of lil with my ESXi 4.0.0 build - 219382. I've implemented a new "Intel E1G44ET" NETWORK card

  This NIC shoud be supported. If I understand right, I need to install additional drivers on my ESXi server.

  I found a 'how to' on the Web page of vmware:

  1. turn on the host ESX or ESXi.

  2. place the CD in the CD-ROM drive of the host where the vSphere CLI is installed or vMA is hosted.

  3. Mount the driver CD.

  4 navigate to the & lt; CD mount point & gt; / off line-bundle / and look for the INT-intel-lad-ddk-igb-1.3.19.12-offline_bundle-166506.zip file.

  5. run the vihostupdate command to install the drivers using the offline.

  vihostupdate & lt; conn_options & gt; -installation - bundle INT-intel-lad-ddk-igb-1.3.19.12-offline_bundle-166506.zip

  My problem is, I don't know how to do step. 3. "mount the driver CD' shell.

  Is there a manual, you can link or tell me an easy way to put the network adapter 'online '?

  Thanks a lot 4 your help!

  Hello

  (just edit the post, the CD-ROM drive can be mounted/dev/cdrom and/dev/cdrom-had in my vma)

  Here's what I had to do to mount the iso and install the driver on my console Management Wizard vSphere:

  First of all, I attach the ISO using vSphere client on my vm VMA. then:

  sudo mkdir/media/cdrom

  sudo mount/dev/cdrom-had/media/cdrom

  vihostupdate - Server < ipaddress.or.fqdn > - install - /media/cdrom/offline-bundle/INT-intel-lad-ddk-igb-1.3.9.19.12-offline_bundle-166506.zip bundle

  It will ask for the username password and install the update. Restart the ESXi.

  If your vMA only makes available the/dev/cdrom, you can deploy the FVO in a new virtual machine and try again.
