• The traffic between a host ESXi and vCenter Server is secure?

  Dear team,

  You pray let me know is traffic between a host ESXi and vCenter server (vice versa) is secure?

  The VC and ESXi version is 5.1U1a

  concerning

  Mr. VMware

  Default SSL certificates are installed automatically. However, you can configure the third-party SSL certificates to make the environment more secure.

• Change the view hosts ESXi and Vcenter Ip addresses

  Hello

  Because of our new zoning, we need to change the IP addresses of all our guests view ESXi as well as our vCenter server View.  Is it still possible without altering the DB ADAM that uses the view?

  Thank you

  Mooge

  If your ESX hosts are added to vCenter by host name and your vCenter are added to the view by hostname that you should be able to make this change without affecting the view.

  If your vCenter is added by IP, then you will have problems.

  If your ESX hosts are added by the intellectual property so that you can use maintenance mode to migrate all the virtual machines on each host, remove from the inventory, then add it to the cluster using the new IP or host name. View should have no problem with what we don't reference the hosts by their host names in any sort of statically.

• Need help to change a creation of VM PowerCLI script to support host ESXi and vCenter

  I have the below script that I created with much help from LucD - thank you! This has served me well for my lab procedures rip - replace so far. This script works when I run it against my single ESXi host when it is not connected to my server vCenter, but it throws errors when I run this script when the host is connected to vCenter and it fails to implement the controller SCSI Paravirtual. I think when the host is under the control of vCenter that changed some of the settings.

  If I point to the vCenter instead of ESXi host, I still get the same problem. In addition, I would also add the ability to create virtual machines in pools of different resources of a cluster of vSphere. My name in data center's LAB and my Cluster is called Local with pools of resources like TestLab, etc. see Horizon.

  Ideas please!

• Tearing the ESXi and VM live hosts to 4.1 and falling in vCenter environment 5.1

  Hello

  Can I please perform the following before the people here to get opinions on how you think it may be...

  Basically, I'm planning a 5.1 vCenter vCenter 4.1 facility upgrade, but I'm not eager to upgrade in place due to my being uncomfortable with the 4.1 - > 5.1 upgrade instability.

  Instead, I built an environment vSphere fresh 5.1, including:

  SSO
  The inventory service
  UU.
  vCenter
  Web client
  SRM

  And he works with the internal certificates.  SRM has been integrated, data centres have been created, OS customizations are in place, empty clusters have been created with the same level of CVS, licenses have been imported and everything looks good to go.

  The next part is to import all hosts ESXi 4.1 of their existing DRS, HA, cluster EVC, which is also protected by SRM.

  However, the problem is that this must be done without interruption for the hosts or virtual machines running.  All NFS stores running the virtual machine.

  So my plan is:
  Unprotect all SRM protected virtual computer (to remove SRM placeholders in NFS and placeholder VMS in vCenter)
  Reconfigure the deactivation DRS clusters, HA (with CVS)
  Remove the cluster (guests will return to autonomous? VM will continue to operate?)
  'remove' host of the old vmware vcenter
  Add a host new vCenter
  Add the host to the cluster again
  Configure the SRM

  I can see from google, that other people have already done, but this doesn't sound sane?

  I want to avoid at all costs, downtime for the VM to place guests esxi in maintenance mode is not really an option.  So I need to check that the above is possible, and that the removal of the cluster will not stop the running virtual machine or to force some kind of hardware installation/panic on the virtual machine because of the VCA mode not more be applied. The VCA mode would be a big problem trying to admit the host/vm to the new cluster if the virtual machine have re-detected hardware of newer CPU...

  Thanks in advance,
  Rob.

  You don't need to remove clusters or move the hosts off the clusters before you attach them to the new vCenter Server!

  We have made the migration in the past (to a vCenter server to another) without this step and it worked fine.

  In the new vCenter server, you can also directly add hosts to the cluster.

  It works very well... unless you use the distributed switches! It is still possible, but requires additional steps.

• Travel/cloning between two hosts ESXI VM

  Hello

  I have two hosts ESXI 4.1 with VSphere Essentials for VCenter license. I'm not able to move the virtual machine to one ESXI host to another (power off). It is not supported with VSphere Essentials license? Data warehouses can be shared between the two ESXI hosts?

  What is the size of your virtual machine, what is the speed of the network and how your local storage looks like? Using RAID? How many disks and RAID level? You have a battery attached to the RAID controller write buffer cache?

  The waiting period does not necessarily mean the tasks does not work. Often it is only a delay in the vCenter Server GUI, but the process is still running and you just need to be patient. You see the files being created on the target data store?

• Advice on appropriate hosts of ESXi and NAS network configuration

  I am looking for tips or best practices on the implementation of my ESXi 4.0 hosts with my NAS... Here is some basic information:

  -Certified VMware AberNAS with matrix RAID 5 SAS (2 x Gig NIC) drives

  -2 x HP Proliant welcomes each with 6-8 Gig NIC

  Currently, NAS NIC are associated to balance the load connected to two different switches.  HP hosts are also associated to balance the load connected to 2 different switches.

  Here is a glance at the basic configuration in vcenter:

  

  Because I have a lot of NETWORK interface card on the server (4 used... but 8 in total), I would like to configure this to improve performance.  So my questions:

  1 can I create a new vswitch sin and dedicate the traffic between the hosts and NAS?  How?  Place them on a physical switch dedicated between the hosts, NAS and LAN?

  2. create a dedicated NIC for VM vmotion of hosts?

  3. any other configuration benefiting NFS and VMware?

  Am open to any idea. Thank you

  -There are currently of 2 guests (am licensed for 3 and can install later). In addition, I have 2 physical switches gigabit dedicated to SAR/VM host nic and are resources shared LAN... so when the facility management/vmotion Teddy bear design, do I imitate the same configuration on the two hosts?  Do stay even these teddy bears, connected to one of the switches of concert?

  Yes you would duplicate the installation on both hosts-

  -With a device SIN the NIC on the NAS is associated with unique IP address and is dedicated to the virtual machine infrastructure.  Then I'd have 2 bears from each host AND the 2 bears from the NAS connected to the dedicated physical switch isoltaed and ip static'd just like different subnet?

  Yes - as I said with a single IP address on a NAS for the natachasery on the hosts would be in a configuration of active / standby - it is more about the fact that ESXi does not really load balancing between the two network cards but selects a teddy bear based on the source and destination IP addresses - so if any of these changes the traffic's not on a unique Teddy

• difference between a command ping and vmkping in hosts esxi 4.1

  Hello

  I can't enter the vmkping command and the command ping when it is used in virtualization, esxi hosts, but correct me if I am wrong in my assumption

  1. the vmkernel which is the firmware if you like vsphere suite that manages all communications between the physical host computer and comments, is the hypervisor if you like, correct?

  2. the vmkernel has its own virtual ip stack that manages all vmotion, iscsi and fiber storage correct traffic?

  3 Let's say I have two esxi hosts (esx1 and 2) using two NICs to uplink where vmnic0 on both esxi hosts are virtual machine port groups and the vmnic 1 is used for the port of vmkernel on esi 1 and 2.

  the standard command ping ping ip addresses on both hosts of esxi vmkernel, but she would not use the internal ip stack of vmkernels to check the communication between the two ports uplink vmkernel, instead it uses the co-location host tcp/ip stack to resolve the IP address connectivity and would only check each link port communication.

  by using the vmkping command, it connects esx1 host using putty for example and issues a command vmkping to ESX2 to host esx1, which uses its own tcp/ip stack of vmkernel to achieve a connection from esx2, so indeed the ping moves port vmkernel esx1 directly on the port of uplink of the esx2 and back again check connection of storage correct

  apologies if I didn't explain better, but if you need additional information on my question let me know.

  Thak you.

  Hello

  Yes you are right. The VMkernel is hypervisor - the thing that makes the magic of the work of virtualization.

  The VMkernel has an IP stack to do the things that you have mentioned: vMotion, iSCSI, NFS, etc. which do not exist as on the VMkernel interfaces. Often, but not always, these IP addresses are not accessible outside the VMkernel. For example, if you run an isolated network dedicated to these services. Essentially by issuing a vmkping you issue a ping from the VMkernel interface for another interface, VMkernel not necessarily another interface.

  Compare this with the ping who seems just the Service Console interface.

  If we look at a simple ESX build - two hosts (ESXA and ESXB) with two NICs (vmnic0 and vmnic1). On the ESXA and B, we have the Service Console running vmnic0 with the natachasery connected to a switch. We perform a cross on the cable between the hosts connected to vmnic1 and have configured it for vMotion. In this scenario if you issue a ping from host you a submission in response to the Service Console of IP and other devices on the same subnet connected to the switch. However if you ping the address of vMotion you won't because it is on another inaccessible network - in steps vmkping.

  Trust that this assistance.

• If I put in place an openfiler VM as a data store iSCSI & vmfs on two ESXi hosts, both ESXi hosts can access two data warehouses?

  If I put in place an openfiler VM as a data store iSCSI & vmfs on two ESXi hosts, both ESXi hosts can access two data warehouses?

  The reason why I ask, is that I have two hosts ESXi ESXi 4 running.  I do my backups with ghettoVCB, which I modified to create thin backups on one of the drives the.  I then wput them to the server, which causes them to become thick.  Directly targets the backup in a vmfs iSCSI on the server in the face shop.  It would save a step and the vmdk backup should remain thin.

  Thank you!

  The short answer is Yes. If you allow the ESX servers to see the LUN. This setting is configured to the Openfiler.

• VMware-viclient-all - 6.0.0 - 3016447.exe broke Console hosts 6.0 ESXi and ESXi 5.5

  Installed VMware-viclient-all - 6.0.0 - 3016447.exe and he broke the Console: could not resolve ENGINE_load_aesni: 127

  Uninstalled and installed more old VMware-viclient-all - 6.0.0 - 2741530.exe, still the same error.

  Loaded procexp and found it to be the launch:

  C:\Program Files (x 86) Remote Console Plug-ins 5.5\Internet Explorer\vmware \Common Files\VMware\VMware - vmrc.exe

  When connecting to the host ESXi 6.0

  Attempts to connect to a host ESXi 5.5, same error, console does not load.

  Finally, connected to the ESX 5.0 and everything works because he throws a VMRC plug-in different VMware.

  Having no host 5.1 to test.

  
  Everything worked up to this that VMware-viclient-all - 6.0.0 - 3016447 has been installed.

  This processor also has instruction AESNI (Ivy Bridge)

  I just found out that the culprit is Workstation 10.e.x.p. beta now the Console version to 10!

  that is the vi-client installer is not overwrite all of the files in c:\Program Files (x 86) Remote Console Plug-in files 5.5\ \Common Files\VMware\VMware because the version is a is 9.0 and less than 10.

  The problem seems to be that many applications use the same folder c:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\VMware\VMware Remote Console Plug-in 5.5.

  And the uninstall program does not uninstall because it is shared by workstation.

  If you rename or delete the folder c:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\VMware\VMware Remote Console Plug-ins 5.5\ and then uninstall and reinstall VMware-viclient-all - 6.0.0 - 3016447.exe it works and install version 9.

  The latest version of the client is so 10 Workstaiton beta exposure, and nothing has updated the folder c:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\VMware\VMware Remote Console Plug-ins 5.5\ since it was installed.

  This is a problem if you do not install the vi client on a clean system, I think he needs a caveat in the installation process.

• Failed to connect to client host vsphere and Vcenter also esxi.

  Hi all

  I am trying to connect to the ESXi 5 of vsphere client host. I get the error message:

  vSphere client cannot connect to < ip > an unknown connection error has occurred. (The request has failed because the remote server has taken too long to respond. (L'opération a expirer)).

  and of VCENTR I am trying to add this host. I get the error. Of"request timed out".

  I can connect to the shell of ESXi and restart the vpxa services and spend. I can ping to esi IP host. but just cannot connect to it.

  earlier, he the host showed as disconnected in Vcenter. I tried to plug it failed. so I took it off I think can re add back. It did not work.

  I can just connect to client as esx host.

  kindly advice.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I am able to connect now.

  I noticed as I said previously, unable to connect to the localhost error when running esxcli. Unable to connect using the vsphere client. Unable to connect using VCenter.

  So I started to dig that's wrong with the OS esxi. and began running a few commands information esxcfg etc file system use of space, inode inconsistency, a few other commands such vdh, df to check the file system.  . and but has not changed anything. network configuration is correct.

  in these I run services.sh reboot, restart vpxa, pass reboot, restart host, check the logs, vmkernel, vpxa newspapers spend., check the date and time of the host.  I couldnot Firewall check since esxcli did not work. I haven't checked listed above step on the SSO.

  If you type esx and double tab, you will see many orders. I started testing on these orders.  so esxcli was a single command I tried later. It worked all of a sudden.

  Once esxcli has started working, I checked vsphere client to connect to esx host that it worked. then I was able to connect in Vcenter also.

  Thank you for your support

• VShield service Manager installation and vShield app to the same host ESXi

  Hello, I'm planning on vCloud Director assessment in a laboratory with only a single ESXi host.  When I try to install the app vShield service I get the following warning: do not install on a host or a cluster where the VC or the vShield Manager resides. This can cause network problems. The following IP address must be a unique IP address assigned to this unit of App vShield. Please do not use an IP address that is assigned to another machine, including the VC, vShield Manager or any ESX host. Using an incorrect IP address you will need to uninstall and reinstall App vShield on this host. My question is: is it is absolutely impossible to install vShield manager on the same host ESXi as the vShield Manager resides?  Or is it just a bad practice?  What are the ramifications of installing?

  It is a general practice to separate management and resources. What you see is just a warning. When there are very fewer resources available you can do. Make sure that you exclude from the required VM by referring to this post
