• workstion 8 - cannot install 64-bit on the esxi Server vm

  I installed VMWARE WORKSTION 8.2 on my system after I installed Win7 64-bit.

  Then, I installed the server ESXI WORKSTION Version 5 469 512 on VMWARE WORKSTATION

  Now I'm running the server via VSPHERE CLIENT 5.

  Whenever I try to install a virtual system on the ESXI 64-bit version, it gives an error that the system is not supported and I can only use it for information.

  If I install the 64-bit version of virtual on my computer without problem systems, why I can not install on the ESXI SERVER ?

  Change the settings for the virtual machine for the VM ESXi.  On the processors tab, check the box next to 'Virtualiser VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/IVR.'  If your hardware supports this feature, you will be able to run embedded 64-bit clients.  For more information, see nested running VMs.

• Communicate the guests as well as the ESXi Server VCenter?

  Hello:

  We deploy a solution virtual machine using Vcenter and ESXi 4.1 the VCenter logically is in a different subnet from the ESX servers.

  Is it true that the VCenter server does not need to communicate with the IP addresses of the colleagues of the BONE... and that the vcenter needs access to the IP addresses of the ESXi servers? What (if any) features is lost if the Vcenter server talks to the ESXi ip addresses?

  Please advise and thank you,

  -Chris

  vCenter communicates only to host servers ESXi and vSphere client only connection. vCenter is unable to communicate with the virtual machine, such as the virtual machines are linked to different virtual switch that would have properties different network (vlan and etc.).

• Advice on the ESXi server conversion

  Hi all - I have a project, I work on the weekend and hoped comments before you start. I have a HP Xeon bicoeur recently purchased Windows Server 2003 running server is installed directly on the hardware (no virtualization yet). I want to convert the VMWare ESXi 4.0 running server and run the same operating system on this material. Here's the tricky part. I want to run ESXi on the same computer, Windows Server running on right now. I understand that VMWare converter exists for this, and it would be no problem I got a 2nd ESXi Server I could use as the destination for the new virtual machine running. But I have only 1 server. And the converter interface looks like it requires a host ESXi to connect to, when converting from one physical machine to a virtual machine. (please, correct me if I'm wrong)

  My plan to achieve this is:

  1. temporarily install ESXi on another computer

  2. use VMWare workstation to converter to convert the physical operating system to a virtual machine running on the ESXi host temp

  3. carefully test the new virtual machine!

  4. download files of the virtual machine to the host temp to converter with vSphere client workstation

  5. clean the hard disks on HP Server, install ESXi

  6. download VM files on HP Server with vSphere client

  7. I hope that new start VM brilliant without problem

  8 go back home and get some sleep!

  If anyone has any input on this point, known pitfalls to avoid, or how to go faster, please let me know!

  To make it a little easier (you save setting up ESXi twice) just to use VMware workstation and VMware converter (even just an eval version will do). Then...

  1. install VMware workstation and VMware converter on a decent existing computer (that has enough cpu/ram to support the windows server).

  2. use the windows VMware converter for P2V server in VMware workstation.

  3. test the virtual windows server 2003 works correctly

  4 install ESXi on HP Server and configure it.

  5 use the converter once more to shoot on the virtual machine in the front of the workstation in an ESXi virtual machine format hardware version 7.

• How to move the ESXi server in a data center

  Hello

  I'm new to VMware so I hope someone can help me with this small request! Currently in our environment, we have two ESXi servers (both with several virtual machines) and we would like to add to vCenter.  vCenter is configured, acting as a license server & when attempting to add a host to the data center, we get the following message "there is not enough licenses installed to run the operation. Is it possible to add an ESXi server to vCenter?

  Thanks in advance,

  Peter

  Of http://www.vmware.com/products/esxi/uses.html

  "In addition, manage a VMware ESXi with VMware vCenter Server host requires a VMware vCenter Server Agent for each host, available only with the purchase of a VMware Infrastructure license (Foundation, Standard, or Enterprise)."

• Nested inside the ESXi Server ESXi

  Nested run ESXi in ESXi server.

  I can't turn on the virtual machine for Vcenter, I get an error "this host does not support Intel VT - x. Here's my server BIOS settings.

  Is there a solution for this?

  
  

  See attached screenshot.

  
  

  My server is running an Intel Xeon processor E5540 Proliant DL380 G6 2 x Xeon Quad-Core 2.53 GHz

  
  

  Physical server Bios settings

  -Intel(r) Hyperthreading Options-> active

  -Intel(r) Turbo Boost Technology-> active

  -Intel VT - d-> active

  Your hardware supports nested ESXi.  Is that you checked the box next to "Hardware-assisted virtualization expose to the guest operating system" on the settings of the processor in the web client?

• How to reset the ESXi Server?

  Hello

  We have two servers ESXi in vCenter, a ESXi server running a VM to openfiler that shares the data store local as iSCSI target that is mounted by the two server ESXi, for some reason any ESXi and vCenter no longer meets, and after connect you in ESXi via ssh, command df stuck, I suspect that they lost connection to openfiler web interface works always (said status current user 0).

  I'll reset ESXi servers? I tried to restart command, also stuck.

  Thank you

  William

  You could try to restart with the option - f.   Or services.sh restart to see if it shakes things upward.  Something in particular by logging in var/log/messages?

• Copy ESXi 4.0 VM off the ESXi server and start using it

  Hello

  I want to know if it is possible to copy virtual machines stored in the ESXi 4.0 data store server that I can download just outside the server, let's say in a the position of work/external HDD and start using it immediately. Request, the reason why it is we have some scenarios that our demos are field office and so you are obliged to distribute virtual machines in a laptop or external hard drive. I have been using VMWare Converter 4.0 to convert the VM VMWare Server ESXi, but it takes time, is there another way to do much faster this process or any product VMWare Player or workstation that can run ESXi virtual machines without conversion.

  Looking forward to your feedback.

  Nikhil

  VMware Converter is the best choice and really one of the fastest.

• Move the VM of the ESXi server to another

  Hey guys.  Fairly new to ESXi.  We have an ESXi server that has 3 SQL servers running, 2 Web servers and a domain controller.  Too much for one box.  So they bought more than 4 servers for me to set up ESXi on them and for me to migrate existing virtual machines to the new boxes.

  My question is what is the best way to do this and there at - there a tutorial on how to do this?  I downloaded and installed Veeam FastSCP, but I don't know if this is the best way.  If anyone can lead me to a tutorial, that would be awsome!

  I think would be best to use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone , if you do not have vCenter.

  I do not use FastSCP, so I can't really comment on.

• After STARTING the ESXi server stopped all VMware images...

  Hi people!

  The version of server 1 using I could mark images to start automatically with the VMware Server.

  I have not found the place to install VMware images to auto-start with the server - or which is not possible with this product.

• utility for documenting the ESXi server configuration?

  I know that we can use tools of command line following this kb KB VMware: backup and restore ESXi configuration using the vSphere command-line Interface and vSphere PowerCLI...

  to save and restore a configuration of the host.

  But what I'm looking for is a way to 'capture' the current configuration of a particular server, so that I can use this config as a starting point for the construction of host config documentation. The bundle of config which is created by running the command above creates a bunch of text and other files that I think hold configurations, but they do not provide a way to look through the config, or copy and paste easily the different elements.

  Anyone know of a free util that will do something like what I'm looking for?

  Hi TedH256,

  It's easy...  RVTools completely!  It is a simple, lightweight windows install you simply point your vCenter (or $vmhost), and then save the report in Excel.  It creates tabs for everything you can imagine including network vmkernel.  That should be all you need.  Still hungry?  Launch PowerCLI and use vCheck, Reports of CDPand NIC Firmware.

• Should I configure teaming for ports connect to the ESXi Server?

  Greetings,

  I want to install an ESXi 4.1 on a Dell 2950 with network 4 GB ports. 1 of them is used as netowrk management and I would like the rest of the team 3 connection, my question is should I configure teaming for these 3 switch ports on the physical switch for these 3 connection of ESXi?

  So far I have nothing on physical switch and it seems fine, I just want to know that.

  Thank you

  Mike

  If you do not need to run the virtual machine in different VLAN, then you don't need to configure a lot of things about the physical switch. Make sure only allow multiple MAC addresses on each port (switchport mode access) and covering the whole tree portfast.

  Configure vSwitch with uplinks 3 and you're ready. ESX will assign uplink in a responsive manner, because the virtual machines are powered on (default: route based on the source port id).

• Tool to documentate the esxi server configuration

  Hi all

  I'm looking for a (free) tool that can generate a U1 esxi 4.1 server configuration documentation (in html, for example).
