the service of monitoring console

In the past, with 3.0, we just installed our officer monitoring right in the service console and monitor disk space (for example) on the service console.  With 4.0, is there a better way to do it?

Yes, I would recommend the Service Console of surveillance. You want to make sure that you don't have a reason any fill the local file system and ensure that it is healthy to you could potentially run into problems with virtual machines. In general, I saw c SC all kinds of funky but virtual machines are always blowing along, that tells you how stable the hypervisor and vmkernel is... .and how he does not rely on the SC for running virtual machines, but it limits your view on the host in terms of management say pass / vpxa processes that may be running.

  • Use the Service console.

    Hi all

    I need to use the vSphere Server service console to run some commands on it. So please guide me how to open the service of vSphere console.

  • Adding user to access the Service Console via Putty

    Hi guys

    I'm quite new to the world of Vmware, so please exuse me if I look trivial.

    Basically, I want to create a user in order to access the service through PuTTY console.

    I tried with the root , but it says access denied. I have read the forums and I know that I need to create a new user, and then get to KNOW, but could you please tell me how and where I can create this user as I can only find Permissions tab for ESX1 (our esx server). What I need to for this to the service console physially enter the sever room or can I create this user using one of my domain accounts for VIC 2.5

    If I can do or could you please guide me further

    Also is it possible to use the service of the VIC, if so how.

    I would be very grateful if you could give me an answer for what I send the vizionsupport logs from the console using some of the linux (vmware controls), I think that I can do that by logging in on the ESX Server service console.

    Concerning

    Rucky

    To add a newuser you would do the following in the console of the ESX host.

    useradd username (where username is the name of the user account)

    passwd username (This will prompt you for the password for the user)

    Now this user must be able to connect via SSH

    You can then run su - (you will be prompted for the root password) that will put you in a root shell

    Also, you could edit/etc/ssh/sshd_config (using vi or nano)

    and change the following line

    Of

    PermitRootLogin not

    TO

    PermitRootLogin Yes

    type of service sshd restart (you should do this in the console) this will then allow you to ssh to the system as root.

  • Non-visible service in the Integration Broker monitor operation

    Dear Experts,

    I'm working on integration between Financials PS and PS Finance Accounting student.

    I configured the nodes PSFT_EP and PSFT_HR in the two systems. Ping is successful at both ends.

    As the first step, I'll put up the Business Unit synchronization for

    Finance of PeopleSoft in Navision Financials.

    I activated the message BUS_UNIT_SF_FULLSYNC name with even publish a rule identifier in the two financial statements and

    and outbound routing.

    When I launch full publish on the side of the campus,

    the service launched but he remains in New York and I found no trace in the FSCM.

    I tried to open the same side service FSCM but even after no sign in Service monitor.

    No data in the BUS_UNIT_TBL_SF.

    Queues are running on both sides.

    I left any stage.

  • Command not found in the service console ESX 4.0 u2

    Hi all

    I have a very simple question.

    I have haven´t access to the service console ESX 4.0 for some time and today I need run commands to verify information on some host bus adapters.

    I logged a user then used 'su root' to switch to the ROOT user.

    I use Putty to connect to the Service Console.

    But when I try to execute the following commands it said "Command Not Found":

    vmkload_mod

    esxcfg-module

    I read VMware KBs, that say to use these commands for this version of ESX, but I can´t do run.

    I think the answer is something very simple, but I can´t find it.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hello

    Next, you create just a new vSwitch with your 2nd service console using the dedicated bear. Marking will be on the side of the physical switch.

    If this host is in a HA Cluster, you may receive warnings about redundancy.

    Seeing that it is your 2nd service console, you can remove these messages. Watch http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1004700

    Local write on the nas performance is around 230 Mbps. tested by running these two commands in two different sessions of PuTTY:

    zpool iostat tank 5
    
    dd if=/dev/zero of=sometestfile2 bs=1024000 count=5000
    
    

    Zpool iostat output:

    Switch dedicated for storage area network:

    Cisco 3750 with mtu 9000 system

    Nexenta hosts both ESXi are connected to the switch with network cards with Jumbo enabled frames.

    I created an NFS share and mounted as a data store in ESXi. When I run the command "dd" even the service console, I get this:

  • Installation Partition problem (allocated too expensive for the Service Console?)

    Installation Partition problem (allocated too expensive for the Service Console?)

    RAID1 (15K 146 GB SAS) on Dell R710 and VMFS is on table EQL.

    What I did during the ESX4.1 excavation, it's that I have used ALL the space in 146 GB (mainly for / and / var), after adding this ESX host to vCenter, VC and EQL ASM/VE started to complain about the following points:

    1 VC: health check of localstorage warning (only has 245 MB left on 146SAS localstorage)

    2 EQL ASM/VE: warning rootFolder folder (due to the above)

    I thought that he is authorized to use all the space for / (50 GB) and / var (50 GB) in my case for only 146 GB, I don't think I need to leave any space on the installation disc.

    Could someone share some lights here?

    Thank you

    As you can see SDS use all the SDC VMFS partition space.

    This create the alarm.

    The thing really confused me why I have to leave a space on the disk at all?

    Technically there is no reason to let the space... but also no reason to have a big service console

    Usually, you need 10 to 20% free space for each snapshot data store and Exchange files... but in your case, you will not have these files.

    If you have any problems, but you receive the alarm until you do not disable them on this specific data store.

    PS: I suggest you switch to ESXi, is quite simple and it doesn't have this strange vmdk for the "console".

  • Change the id vlan of the Service Console and now can't connect

    Hello

    My ESX 3.5 server was with a Service Console PG and a PG VMotion on vSwitch0. There are 2 physical NIC assigned to the vSwitch, which are transmitted to the 2 physical network switches.

    Guys id assigned netoeking vlan 200 to 2 ports on the 2 natachasery physical switches is connected. In the VI client, if I change the properties of vSwitch0-> Console of Service and the value of the vlan 200, I completely lose connectivity to the host. I can't ping the IP address SC longer. I have a keyboard/screen connected to the host and when I connect to the SC, I can't ping the default gateway of the SC or whatever it is.

    I used esxcfg-vswitch to set of the SC vlan id 0 (all) and bingo!, I can speak to the host again and he can talk. The network guys arrure me, they put the vlan id = 200 on the OK physical switch ports. So what goes wrong?

    FWIW, we also have an ESX4 from same host configured the host to 3.5 and it communicates very well. It's the SC a vlan = 200 and issued for the same physical switches.

  • Location of the service after upgrade to vSphere Console

    In December, I improve VMWare VCenter and servers ESX, vSphere 4.0 3.5 u1. I then discover that my Service on hosts 3 Console, have changed rather than the local store, to a shared SAN store. I can find it, is the only workaround:

    de : http://www.VMware.com/support/vSphere4/doc/vsp_esx40_vc40_rel_notes.html

    If you choose a store of data shared for the service console, the installation or upgrade of software tool does not issue a warning

    For ESX 4.0, the service console must be installed on a VMFS datastore that resides on the local host drive or on a drive of SAN which is masked and zoned on that particular only host. This version does not support the installation of the service on a data store console that is shared between the hosts. When you install ESX 4.0 or upgrading to ESX 4.0, you must select a store location of VMFS data for the service console (esxconsole.vmdk). If you select a data store that is shared between the hosts, the installation tool or software upgrade does not issue a warning.

    Workaround: Do not install the service on a VMFS datastore console shared between hosts.

    Is there someone who can tell me, how to move the service console?

    Best regards

    Peter

    I do not think that it is possible to move the ESXConsole.

    Read this post http://communities.vmware.com/thread/214439

    The easiest way is to reinstall GUESTS concerned with access to SAN.

    In this way, that you don't have the ability to install ESXConsole on SAN disks.

    I googled and found this post that explains how to handle the ESXConsole, maby this will help you.
