• The IP of the host ESX and ESXi console information

  Hi guys,.

  I have a little problem here, we have a script that collects the host Console IP, host name, field info... etc.

  My problem is with the period of INVESTIGATION, because we have a mixed environment of esx3.5, esx4.0, esx4.1 and ESXi4 get the IP of the Console is a bit of a problem.

  If I use the

  $NicInfo = get-VMHostNetwork - VMHost $esxhost. Name
  $newesxhost. VmHostName = $NicInfo.HostName
  $newesxhost. Domain = $NicInfo.DomainName
  {foreach ($cs in $NicInfo.ConsoleNic)}
  $newesxhost. IPAddress = [string] $cs. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
  }

  I covers the ESX Console hosts IP info, but all the info of ESXi IP gets missed.

  If I add to the:

  $NicInfo = get-VMHostNetwork - VMHost $esxhost. Name
  $newesxhost. VmHostName = $NicInfo.HostName
  $newesxhost. Domain = $NicInfo.DomainName
  foreach ($cs in $NicInfo. ) VirtualNic | where {$_.name - eq "vmk0"}){}
  $newesxhost. IPAddress = [string] $cs. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
  }

  I get the ESXi IP Management IP network, but the ESX hosts to report the vmk0 which is the IP address of vmotion.

  So if anyone can help I'd be very happy.

  Include the HOST party so that you can see what I mean:

  #[int] $Loopctr = 0
  $newesxhost = (@($xml.) (ESXInventory.HOST) [0])
  $newVMPortGroup = (@($xml.) (ESXInventory.VMPortGroup) [0])

  Get-VMHost-location (Get-Cluster-name $cluster. Name) | Sort-Object-unique | % {
  $esxhost = get-view $_.ID
  Write-Host $esxhost. Name
  #if ($Loopctr - gt 0) {$newesxhost = $newesxhost.clone ()}
  $newesxhost = $newesxhost.clone)
  $newesxhost. MemberOfCluster = $cluster. Name
  $newesxhost. Name of the vendor = $esxhost. Summary.Hardware.Vendor
  $newesxhost. Model = $esxhost. Summary.Hardware.Model
  $newesxhost.os_version = [string] $esxhost. Config.Product.Version
  $newesxhost.os_build = [string] $esxhost. Config.Product.Build
  $newesxhost.os_caption = [string] $esxhost. Config.Product.FullName

  $newesxhost. NumCpuCores = [string] $esxhost. Summary.Hardware.NumCpuCores
  $newesxhost. NumCpuThreads = [string] $esxhost. Summary.Hardware.NumCpuThreads
  $newesxhost. NumNics = [string] $esxhost. Summary.Hardware.NumNics
  $newesxhost. NumHBAs = [string] $esxhost. Summary.Hardware.NumHBAs

  $NicInfo = get-VMHostNetwork - VMHost $esxhost. Name
  $newesxhost. VmHostName = $NicInfo.HostName
  $newesxhost. Domain = $NicInfo.DomainName
  foreach ($cs in $NicInfo.VirtualNic | where {$_.name - eq "vmk0"}) {}
  $newesxhost. IPAddress = [string] $cs. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
  }

  $VMPortGroup = get-VirtualPortGroup - VMHost $esxhost. Name
  
  {foreach ($vpg to $VMPortGroup)
  Write-Host $vpg. Name
  $newVMPortGroup = $newVMPortGroup.clone)
  $newVMPortGroup.Name = $vpg. Name
  $xml. ESXInventory.AppendChild ($newVMPortGroup) > $null
  }

  $xml. ESXInventory.AppendChild ($newesxhost) > $null
  #$Loopctr += 1

  /regards

  Why you do not include a test that check if the host's ESX or ESXi?

  Something like that

  $esx = Get-VMHost MyESX
  
  $NicInfo = Get-VMHostNetwork -VMHost $esx 
  
  $newesxhost.VmHostName = $NicInfo.HostName$newesxhost.Domain = $NicInfo.DomainName
  
  if($esx.Extensiondata.Config.Product.ProductLineId -eq "esx"){    foreach ($cs in $NicInfo.ConsoleNic ){        $newesxhost.IPAddress = [string] $cs.IP    }}else{    foreach ($cs in $NicInfo.VirtualNic |where {$_.name -eq "vmk0"} ){        $newesxhost.IPAddress = [string] $cs.IP    }}
  
  $newesxhost

• 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.

• How to get the host ESX DR see replicated Celerra Lun

  Hi guys, Im setting up SRM with 2 x NS20 and ive got regarding the configuration of the LUN on the production storage array, Lun on the storage LUN appropriate to prod/dr esx servers present DR Bay. Ive set up replication and added the DR lun to the esx server, ensuring not to add it as he will write a signature. I've then added the production on the production ESX Server LUNs, added storage which obviously writes a signature on the drive, and with the installation of the replication, I expected to simply issue a new analysis on the DR esx host and do see the data store.

  Am I missing something here? Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  "On DR NS ive done exactly the same thing with respect to FS, Lun, target iSCSI and presented to the host ESX DR, ive done a rescan and his picked up the lun 'Read Only', which is being replicated in but the tab of summary in VC, I see that the local VMFS file system and I was expecting to see the replicated LUN listed with the store local data or is this seen only". When SRM changes the properties of Lun during a failover? »

  You will not see the Site recovery volumes listed in data warehouses, unless you do one of two things - a failover in which case the production side will be unalterable and be removed from the list of data on the Production side store while exposing the VMFS data store now read-write on the side of the recovery.

  Or you use the test function in which case that encourage a wink of Celerra temporary writable and it will appear as a data store broken in the list on the side of the recovery VMFS data warehouses.

  However, it seems that you do not see this result, as DR table does not seem to be configured as it should.

  Can the side Production VC communicate with happiness with the Celerra recovery site - IE can launch you a session PUTTY from the Production side VC and connect to recovery side Celerra. Can the recovery side VC do the same thing for the Production side Celerra?

  I guess you get the unknown peer after that MRS. not the discovery of the table that owns about 23% forever and then ends. The only other thing I can think of and am not sure about this as a solution because it is a set of actions that I did of my side of recovery when Celerra is to create a small file system and in a small iSCSI LUN on the side of the recovery of the recovery side Celerra and put it in your recovery ESX cluster side - create a file system VMFS on it and place a Virtual computer in this VMFS file system - this is to check that there are no problems with the ESX host side recovery working with the recovery side Celerra

  My guess would be a thing of IP connectivity - if it's a little strange, if the link between the Production side VC and the recovery side VC has been established successfully

  I'll pass on to a colleague to VMware SRM and see if he has any ideas

• Adding more than one host ESX and the upgrade at the same time.  What is the order of preference of the operations here?

  We are budgeting for more licenses and hardware for 2014 and want to do immediately in January.  I am trying to decide what is the best order of operations for adding two vmware hosts additional to our current installation of vsphere and also upgrade our vsphere / esx 4.1 u3 for the latest and best.

  We have 3 Dell PowerEdge R710 running ESX 4.1 U3.  In this vmware cluster, there is a vcenter server 4.1 U3 virtual machine handle this.  The three servers are about 90% memory used so we add 2 additional servers.  Probably the Dell PowerEdge r.620 since we get up 2 in the space of a 710.  Storage is on a san EMC NX4 NFS which will become too but not yet, let's just deal with the vmware part.

  When adding additional r.620 2, should I install ESX 4.1 on them and join them to the existing cluster and THEN pass vcenter and each one esx?  I ask precisely because 90% of use on 3 current servers, I need 2 other servers to support the update operations take place.  They would be able to repel vmotioned vm while each host receives an upgrade at the same time.

  So which is the best way to go about adding of the hosts and the upgrade?  Would I add as 4.1, then they would be available as targets vmotion and so I have room to start the hosts one upgrade at a time?

  If I update vcenter to the latest version, it is comparable backwards and can manage the 4.1 hosts, but also hosts 5.x?  I guess version 5.5 is the last one I would get from VMWare?  It is right of ESXi, then, how is this ESX ESXi 5.5 4.1 upgrade?  How much storage space do I need for ESXi 5.5, as I'm dechatoiement out of these r.620 Dell and need to know what hard drive to put in.

  The steps that you must follow

  -Updated vCenter Server

  -Upgrade of the ESX hosts (because we do a updating of the material we will install 5.5 on our new guests and add them to the cluster and then dismantle our existing)

  -Upgrade VMWare tools

  -Update data warehouses

  ESXi 5.5 has these storage requirements:

  • Installing ESXi 5.5 requires a boot device is at least 1 GB in size. When booting from a local disk or SAN/LUN iSCSI, a 5.2 GB drive is necessary to allow for the creation of the VMFS volume and a scratch 4 GB partition on the boot device. If a smaller drive or logical unit number is used, the installation program attempts to allocate a region scratching on a separate local disk. If a local drive is not found, the scratch partition (/ scratch) is located on the disk virtual ESXi host, linked to the/tmp/scratch. You can reconfigure /scratch to use another drive or logical unit number. For best performance and memory optimization, VMware recommends that you leave no /scratch on the ESXi host ramdisk.
  • To reconfigure / scratch, see Configure the Scratch Partition of vSphere Client vSphere Installation and Installation Guide.
  • Because of the sensitivity of the I/O devices, USB and SD, the installation program does not create a partition scratch on these devices. Therefore, there is no tangible benefits to the use of the great features of USB/SD that ESXi uses only the first 1 GB. When installing on USB or SD, tent Setup devices to allocate a region scratching on a local disk or the data store. If no disk is local or data store, /scratch is placed on the virtual disk. You must reconfigure /scratch to use a persistent data store after the installation.
  • In Auto deploy facilities, Setup attempts to allocate a region scratching on a local disk or the data store. If no local disk or data store is found /scratch is placed on the virtual disk. You must reconfigure /scratch to use a persistent data store after the installation.
  • For environments that start from a San or use Auto Deploy, it is not necessary to assign a separate logical unit number for each ESXi host. You can co-locate areas scrape for several hosts ESXi on a single LUN. The number of hosts assigned to a single LUN must balance the size of the LUN and behavior I/O virtual machines.

• Run the host ESX 4.1 in vCenter 5.0

  Hello everyone, I have a simple question.   I am running 4.1 U1 ESX hosts and vCenter 4.1.  I need to upgrade to ESX 4.1 U2.   I know I need to improve my vCenter to match my version of ESX host, but I thought I killed a stone 2 strokes.   I have the license for vCenter and ESX 5.0 but I'm programmed to upgrade next year.   Given that I have to upgrade my vCenter anyway can I go to version 5.0 and run my ESX host on v 4.1 U1 without any loss of functionality?

  I would like to upgrade everything at once, but the company needs me to complete the test first upgrade of the host is not an option at this time.

  Thanks for your help with this.

  Hello

  You shouldn't lose any features with what you described.  Remember however that in one year, you will still need to patch vCenter to upgrade to the latest version 5.x.

  Thank you

• Migrate the host ESX to vSphere 4.0 Server 4.1

  Hi all

  I have 2 vSphere environments. A server vSphere 4.0, and 3 ESX 4.0 host. Another with vSphere 4.1 server with 3 hosts ESXi 4.1. I want to migrate ESX 4.0 mailboxes to the new server for vSphere 4.1. Assuming that I have licenses installed locally on the boxes, and I squared away vSphere licensing, what would be the best way to migrate the host?

  I would simply ' right click-> delete ', then 'right click-> add a host' on the Server 4.1?

  Thanks in advance.

  the best way to do so is in vCenter 1, right-click and disconnect the host and then delete host.  In vCenter2, "add host".  This will move the hosts and their guests to the new instance without interruption.

• Update the host ESX 4.1 before upgrading vCenter 4.0 to 4.1

  Someone sees a problem updating my 4.1 ESX hosts and leaving in the former vCenter 4 Update 1 cluster?  I have rebuilt a new server vCenter 4.1 but can't stop the virtual machines and ESX hosts in maintenance until tomorrow night mode.  I want to put the ESX host in maintenance mode, both in the old server vCenter and 4.1 update and move remove/add new vCenter tomorrow night.

  You can't manage a host ESXi4.1 with nothing less than vCenter4.1.  If your plan will not work.  You must first upgrade vCenter.

• NAT network between the host ESX with DVS

  Hello.

  In my test of vSphere 4, I have two ESX hosts. I want to share an IP address between all the virtual machines on these two ESX hosts. In this regard, I have a virtual machine that acts as a NAT router. This virtual machine has two network that is connected to each their own vNetwork Distributed Switch connection. We have a physical NIC (on each ESX host) which has the Internet connection. The other has no physical network connection.

  To test if it works I created a VM test on both ESX hosts. The system works on the virtual machine that is on the same ESX host as the virtual machine that acts as a NAT router is located, but not the virtual machine on the other ESX host. The other VM have no contact with the router and receives no DHCP data.

  Any suggestions? I know I did something wrong because DVS is new to me, but I really want this to work.

  Hello

  That ends up being a vNetwork design more than anything even with vDS. For example, if you have a NAT that works for all your hosts you would then have a NAT virtual appliance such as:

  PSwitch external network <->Teddy <->vSwitch <->vPG <->NAT VM <->vPG <->vSwitch <->Teddy <->network internal pSwitch

  Now the vSwitches in the above can be traditional vSwitches or vDS' the key is that the "seconds" vSwitch must be connected on the same vSwitch on all other hosts, so it has an uplink to a physical switch that is also connected to all other hosts. vDS does NOT lighten your vNetwork is the need of cable to allow the communication of the VM.

  The VM NAT can move from host to host as long as there is communication to this virtual machine on each host on each network in this case, the external network and internal.
