• 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?

  Thank you

  Mark

  Hello

  As you are able to boot to the desktop in Mode safe, it means that the third-party application prevents the computer from starting in normal mode. To check you can configure the computer to clean start State and then try to boot into normal mode and check what is happening. To set up its own start-up follow the link below.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

  If the problem does not continues when the computer is in the clean start State follow the steps listed to identify which application is causing the problem.

  Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow step 7 article to start on normal startup.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Slow performance NFS (16 MB/s) of the Service Console

  I'm trying to set up an environment with ghettoVCB but I have problems with the flow to the NFS share.

  My configuration:

  ESXi host:

  ESXi 4.0.0 164009

  Reference Dell R710 with 8x300GB 10 k SAS.

  NAS server:

  Nexenta 3.1.0

  Dell PE2950 with 6x2TB Sata

  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:

  tank        6.94G  10.9T      0    178      0  16.9M

  To test another way, I created a vmnic in the vSwitch dedicated for nfs and then attached this nic to a guest vm under Debian. I mounted the same nfs share and run the same command "dd":

  Is there a problem with this build exakt?

• 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".

• Stop the Service Console and shell scripts

  Now that VMware announced ESX 4.1 is their last hypervisor with a service console, I was wondering-

  What are the options to make what is now a large number of Linux shell scripts perform the same functions on ESXi - i.e. PowerCLI, Host Profiles, etc. and how long we have until officially support chips for the ESX service console?

  Thank you

  PowerCLI does not rely on a service console. However, you must have paid the ESXi version for them to work.  With respect to the profiles of the host, which is a characteristic of vCenter and has more no dependencies on the COS.  You can start watching to convert all of your shell scripts PowerCLI and use scripts.

  What about when VMware will stop support for ESX, I do not anticipate happening any time soon.

• public network for virtual machines, private storage and the service console?

  Hello

  So far I had a pretty small facility with 2 servers with 4 physical network adapters each running ESX 3.5, a small box of EqualLogic SAN to shared storage and a few virtual machines on our network of regular reinforcement, routed, not on a private.   The network config was really simple.  I just put everything on real IP addresses on our network of building.

  Now I want to move the SAN and the traffic on a private service console network, but I don't know how to do this.

  Right now I use 2 NETWORK cards on each server:

  vmnic0 is configured on vSwitch0 and has the network of the VM on it that all my use of VMS to talk to the outside world, and it also has the Service Console that uses Virtual Center and I use ssh to it.

  vmnic1 is configured on vSwitch1 and a VMKernel Port and also a Service Console Port for iSCSI Software to talk to my SAN.  (never been clear on why both are needed to talk to the SAN, but doctors say they are)

  My plan is to set up a vSwitch2 and bind it to vmnic2 and implemented a VMKernel Port and the Service Console Port for software iSCSI on the 10.x.x.x network, set up my new (larger) SAN box on the 10.x.x.x network and simply use Storage vMotion to move virtual machines to the new storage space.  As soon as I did this, I would like to not use the Service Console on vSwitch2 and not a Console Service at all on vSwitch0.  Is it possible to delete the one on vSwitch0 and just use a new vSwitch2 for Virtual Center and ssh access?

  So my proposed configuration would be:

  vSwitch0: VM network only, used by the VM guests for oriented public access network, no construction of Network Service Console, linked to vmnic0

  vSwitch1: superfluous once I do storage vMotion of everything on my old SAN, will eventually remove and pair vmnic 1 with vmnic0, linked to vmnic1

  vSwitch2: VMKernel and Service Console on the network 10.x.x.x, used to access the new SAN, used by Virtual Center to access the ESX, used to SSH in to ESX on private network, associated vmnic2

  If it works?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  VMkernel ports cannot live on the same subnet. So if you have 3 vmkernel ports say: vMotion, iSCSI and NFS. You really need 3 subnets. 1 for each vmkernel port.

  Otherwise how does he know all send properly?

• 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.

• Adding an IP to the service console more

  Hi team,

  We have a race ESX 4 and the service console has already been configured with an IP address, I would like to add an IP more (another beach) so this service console must be accessible by both intellectual property.

  Now my console IP service is 172.18.111.155 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, GW - 172.18.111.1

  Now, I need to add another IP 172.18.105.45 Beach IE with a subnet mask of 255.255.254.0. GW - 172.18.104.1

  Could you please let me know if possible, if so how can be done.

  Thank you

  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

• Address IP of the Service console & Esx server name

  Hello

  How to get the address Ip of the service console & the name of the ESX Server in the data center based on the cluster?

  Property 'Networkinfo"of the esx server does not give advice for Service console Ip address to me.

  Thanks in advance for the answer.

  Try it like this

  foreach($cluster in Get-Cluster){
      Get-VMHost -Location $cluster | `    Select @{N="Cluster";E={$cluster.Name}},
          @{N="Host";E={$_.Name}},

• Limit the software and Services that run in the Service Console in ESXi 4.0?

  How to limit the software and Services running in the Services Console in ESXi 4.0?

  Hello.

  There is no Service in ESXi Console, and it is not really a lot of apps for ESXi either. Policy and/or limited access is the best way to limit these things.

  Good luck!

• How many cards to the Service Console

  I hope that my question is not too noob like... Can someone tell me what the rule of thumb is for network cards how much should I use for the service console? Thanks in advance.

• Identify the process of the virtual machine in the Service Console

  Maybe it's a little challenging, but I need to "hang" a VM intentionally for purposes of Compliance\Qualification.  I'm trying to understand the best way to do this and my colleague suggested to connect to the service console, identify the process virtual machine running and terminate, so suspend the virtual machine.  The problem is, I'm not sure how to proceed.  Could someone point me to the light?

  Thank you very much.

  Steve

  You must know the name of the vmx file (usually it is the first name of the virtual machine).

  Then, connect SSH (or console) to your ESX and run the following command

  PS auxfww | grep 'VMXname '.

  At this point, you can locate the correct PID of the virtual machine. The first number to appear in the output is your PID.

  The PID can be used to complete the process by issuing the command kill-9 PID.

• Failed to create the Service Console

  Hello

  Anyone could answer this, why I can't create service console? For some reason, the service console did not appear as an option in the Network Setup Wizard dialog box. Any clue?

  Thank you

  You use ESXi.

  It is not a service console, and it is not a service console port.

  You manage ESXi using a vmkernel interface.
