Hi friends,
One of you could help me!
I installed ESX 3.5 and its high sucessfully. because I I am able to do the web access, I can't connect my host ESX via the Client SSH and putty.
But friends I am quite unable to connect via VI CLIENT to ESX 3.5 Server
Help, please!

Hello
According to my knowledge, if you have tried all these and then just go and check the services spend and vpxd, maybe some services deliver.

How to add a new virtual machine to the ESX host using the existing files?
I need to implement a function clone without the use of cloneVM_task. I copied (a special copy) a set existing VM Directory Active Directory to a new directory and renamed copied all files prefix name of the new direcotry. What task VM (reconfigVM_task, createVM_task or registerVM_task) command can I use to add that the new copied VM on the ESX host? I need to manually update the .vmx for new UUID file and other parameters?
Thanks for any help.
I think that as long as you have updated all the names to reflect the new clone you must be fine and on the first step, you will be prompted with a question.

Call commands on the ESX host using powercli
Hi all
I need to run a specific command on some of my esx hosts, let's say "vmware - v", a powercli command, or automate by any means without using SSH.
I see the invoke-expression command can do this, but I did not need to make it work.
a syntax such as get-vmhost < hostname >. Invoke-expression-control 'vmware - v"does not work.
Any ideas how I could do this?
Thank you!
I'm afraid that Invoke-Expression is a PowerShell cmdlet that is only intended to run code on the local computer.
Without using SSH, I suspect that you will have a hard time finding a way to do it.

Here's what happens when you try to turn it on one of my virtual machines (see also accessories):
Error stack:
An error was received from the ESX host turning on VM vzilla-ws2012r2e.
Unable to start the virtual machine.
Cannot open disk ' / vmfs/volumes/51286ca4-ef967828-664d-001b2129ad71/vzilla-ws2012r2e/vzilla-ws2012r2e_3.vmdk ' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

22 (invalid argument)
This circumstance may be linked to a sata cable issue, with the possibility of temporary loss of connectivity, which could result in data loss/corruption, I realize. It is a laboratory box. Especially say that the 2 VMDK he complains (trying to light) is both on the grounds of a single physical disk. Data, read and written to the speaker, since the problem are very good (which indicates the wiring problem was resolved, and the VMFS5 file system seems to be in good health).
No photos. No related clones. Just a 2012 Windows Server based VM, with several drive letters in, with those underlying files VMDK residing on different stores of data VMFS5. Implemented end (these drives aren't really so huge), but far from running out of physical space for the data either. Everything is working great for months, until today, trying to it turns on again.
You are looking for:
"Failure error disk beginning module lit" results in this article:
error disk on start module failed
which indicates the .lck files may be present. It does not exist.
Then upwards, of a variety of other items:
but alas, none of them seem to relate directly, or exactly. My vmware.log file is attached below, as well as some screenshots of to show the structure of the unity of this virtual machine. Hoping that this post proves fruitful, if anyone has had a similar situation. The data at stake here are (mostly) redundant, but I would rather understand my way of it, in the case where it happens to me again, or can help others. Many preferred rather than give up, reformat the VMFS and start again.
Thank you!
Good news, the best result I could hope. No data is lost. No corruption of the VMFS or NTFS don't drive in the virtual machine. Nice! Saved me a few terabytes of data restoration and learned a little more on file system of troubleshooting along the way.
It took a technician of VMware Service excellent, attentive, methodical remote 2 hours in a WebEx previously to resolve problems with these 2 files vmdk manually, because he found that there is a lock on them. I opened a request of Service (SR) # with VMware by following the instructions here:
VMware KB: Cannot access certain files on a VMFS datastore
To resolve this problem, apply for support from VMware Support and note this ID (1012036) Knowledge Base article in the description of the problem. For more information on the filing of a request for support, see How to submit a support request.
I'll cover this saga and the exact process for collecting and downloading of newspapers, through to my TinkerTry.com, including the ride video. I even captured much of the technical work that has been done. That said, it is true that little of the magic that was made to resurrect the metadata will remain a mystery, given that this piece is VMware.
I'm ok with a bit of black box, considering how I'm happy that I got all my data, and time savings that the quick recovery represented.

Hi Arnim,
Could you please check your ProxyPolicy settings (Get-PowerCLIConfiguration)? You can set the proxy for 'NoProxy' strategy and try to reconnect. I guess it could be the cause of the problem.

Can we use use DELL R610 / R710 for execution of the ESX host?
We will purchase a new server to run ESX 3.5 or vSphere. We have new DELL servers.
We considered R610 and R710, but we see that there are only 2 PCIe slots. As one of them be given for an image ADDITIONAL NIC card, there is only one location for HBA. It is advisable to use a Dual Channel QLogic QLE2462 HBA.
However, it seems that the Dual Channel HBA will be a single point of failure - if it is connected to 2 different switches FC. We would love to hear if anyone uses these DELL servers to run the ESX host.
Thank you
Good question, I would have preferred two HBA cards. If storage fails everything disappeared. If network failure you will not have access to the outside, but the chances of data corruption is smaller.

ESX 3.5: copy files using the service console from a network share to the esx host data store
Hello
I wonder. Is there a command that I can run the service console that would allow me to copy a file from a network share on the data store on the esx host?
Eric
If sharing is a Windows, you can also use smbclient within the service console and ride sharing.

Hi all
Please help solve my problem.
After that I changed the Duplex parameter on NIC's Service console, I am unable to connect the ESX host. How can I reset the 100 MB NETWORK card duplex. Can someone help me please.
Concerning
Vijay
Hello
As the bulb you have two problems that are not related.
(1) duplex setting, your switch and NIC must match. If one is assigned to auto-negotiation, then the other must be set to auto-negotiation. Personally, I tend to let auto-negotiation unless there is an absolute reason to spend. If you then turn on the both sides of the interface, the switch port and esxcfg-NICS allows you to change the duplex, etc.
(2) passwords for root are not related to the network unless you have also run esxcfg-auth authentication remote. The only time I saw what you have here is when the system is configured to try to authenticate remote and not locally.
The two problems are fixable by booting into single-user mode, set the duplex and reset the password.

Restart VM after you restart the ESX host
Hi all
I am using VSphere Enterprise.
Here my little question, makes VMs always restart after back us running or stopping of the esx host?
In esx 3.5, when I reboot an esx host, all the virtual machines in this host are still alive (without restarting).
Pls advice
Thank you
The only way, a virtual machine can rest running when it is running on ESX server is restarted is that if FT is activated - in this case, the connections will be seamless switch to the virtual machine "shadow". This is a feature of vSphere, so I don't see how you did not the VMs restart on your ESX 3.5 - even with VMware HA environment, there will be a short break because the VMs will be will be running on the other nodes in the cluster.

Emergency aid - Vcenter Server down - cannot access the ESX host
Hello
Use two ESXi hosts and a Vcentre Server (virtual)
When I added the hosts in the center of Virtual Server, I chose the option of locking down (I forgot the actual box, I chose) but he said something like on the virtual circuit can manage hosts?
In any case the VC went offline, do not know why and I can't access the ESXi hosts using the VI client using the root username-password. I get the followign error:
"You are not allowed to log on the server: server name.
Yes, you need to disable the lock mode on ESXi - go to the console and in options, select turn off lockdown mode.

HA does not not as expected on the ESX host
Hello
I have a cluster with ESX 3 (v3.5 Update4) node that is configured to use HA & Drs During a practice session to the ESX host that I found that if I simulate a hard failure of one of the nodes in the cluster, ESX all guests arriving to run on this host VM will automatically starts not themselves on another ESX host after x amount of time. What I've done so far to solve problems is the following:
1. allowed Virtual Machine put in power under the Configuration tab on each ESX host. Then, I moved that no matter what VM Autostart submenu in there appearing. This step is repeated on each ESX host
One thing to note after that: when the host has been stopped, the virtual machine would properly failover to another ESX host but not itself power on. I got feed manually on the client.
2. I disabled the resource constraints under the Cluster Edition settings Menu to enable the machine to power on no matter what
There is nothing to change the question
3. I fiddled with the priority of restarting the virtual machine in question to see if it would help, but it made no difference
4. I enabled Virtual Machine control and settings left to 'High '.
It has nothing
There are two messages that I keep seeing in the case where the window of the Cluster:
Failure of failover for the guest in question Warning Message
Not enough resources for the warning of the cluster failover
There are many resources available, so I do not know whence this second message. DNS seems in good condition I can solve the hosts & guests all with success in a direct and reverse search.
My goal here is to have the guest virtual computer turn itself on one of the other guests of the ESX cluster.
Any help would be appreciated... Thank you
Look in "response to isolation" on setting HA. Did you put it "Leaves the virtual machine" setting turned on or turned off?
If market, your host another try not to put the virtual machines from the virtual machines might still running on the original host, which can cause some collide ie.swap in use, the locked configuration files & etc.

Grant Web access to the only vm on the esx host
I have read the Administrator's guide and spent a few hours online on this subject and other types of users doing the same thing...
I have 2.5 VC and ESX 3.5 by running very well. I want to give web access to a virtual machine #1 running on ESX #1 host in this species, using the URL for the console "generate".
I went VC and granted permission to the user of the Virtual Machine to the particular user I want to access the virtual machine. I granted this permission to the esx host and the virtual machine. When the user attempts to connect (this is a domain account) they get the connection failed due to bad user name or password. It seems that the only account that can connect to web access is the root on this esx host account. I am at a loss here, because I also tried to set this user as an administrator and so on. The only account that can connect to web access, is that the account root localhost.
What I'm missing here?
The user attempts to access Web Access to the ESX Server? Which is what I think they do because without a third party tool they will be able to authenticate users who are in the service console, including the roots. If they try to access Web App of VC by pointing a browser VC while they should AD credentials to access their virtual computer.
Another thing to remember is that permissions in VC only apply when you log in to VC

How to report the current time on the ESX host in to a csv file with the following
Hello guys
I have the script next where I make the required details except the current time on the ESX host. Anyone can guide me please.
{foreach ($esx to $vmhosts) $hostVC = $vcenter $hostCluster = $esx. Parent.Name $hostHost = $esx. Name $ntp = $esx | Get-VMHostNtpServer $hostNTP = "$ntp". } I want to integrate the following for loop of the above for loop and ge the output in a single table.
foreach ($esxcli in get-vmhost | get-esxcli) {"" |} {Select @{n = "Time"; e = {$esxcli.system.time.get ()}}, @{n = "hostname"; e = {$esxcli.system.hostname.get (.hostname)}}}
Add-Content - Path '$hostVC, $hostCluster, $hostHost, $hostNTP, $hostTime' $hostInvFile - $ hostTime is where I want to get my host right now.
I'm vcenter, esx name, name of the cluster, host of the ntp server address, but I need the host thus present.
Thanks in advance.
Thank you
vKar
Try changing the line where the script retrieves the VMHost to this
$vmhosts = get-VMHost-State connected. Name sort
This way the script will be only to ESXi nodes that are "connected".
Pick up time for those defective does not much sense in all cases
