To change host vMotion PortGroup & VMK IP on a vDS PowerCLI

Similar Questions

• Rename the vMotion Portgroup? (vSphere 4.1u1)

  Hello

  Before moving to ESXi, we had the VMkernel - also called "VMKernel" vMotion portgroup.

  When we went from the hosts one by one, we kept the name of portgroup.

  But as it is now only used for vMotion, we would like to rename it accordingly.

  Is this possible without problems?

  (I realize that there will be no vMotion while we are in the process of name change)

  According to this guy, it is nescesarry to delete and recreate vMotion on all hosts trade?

  But of course, it would be easier to simply rename.

  Hi Martin,

  never happen to me, I don't have that operation of hundreds times on version 4, 4.1 and 4.1U1 4.0.3

  what you can do is write down the current configuration in case of problems and vMotion portgroup simply recreate vMotion exchanges on the hosts

  See you soon

  Hello.

  Thanks for posting this question, I had also the need to complete the same task today.

  I posted my final script I found to work in ESX v4.1 Update 1.

  It is basic and annotated for the community to work with in their scripts.

  #Connect to server
  Write-Host "Connecting to server"
  Connect-VIServer -Server 192.168.1.199 -User root -Password Pa55w0rd | Out-Null
  
  Write-Host "Retrieving server details"
  
  #Retrieve the host details
  $esxhost = Get-VMHost -Name "192.168.1.199"
  
  #Set Port Group to look for (case sensitive)
  $PGName = "vmotion" 
  
  Write-Host "Looking for vmk NIC assigned to vmotion"
  #Look for the vmk NIC for vmotion
  $vmkNic = Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -VMHost $esxhost | where {$_.PortgroupName -eq $PGName}
  Write-Host "Deleting vmk NIC assigned to vmotion"
  #Remove the vmk NIC for vmotion, once removed it becomes a normal Port Group from a VMKernel one.
  Remove-VMHostNetworkAdapter -Nic $vmkNic -Confirm:$false |Out-Null
  #Set a couple variables
  $redundantpg = "vmotion"
  
  Write-Host "Removing vmotion Port Group"
  #Retrieve the vmotion Port Group details
  $defaultvpg = Get-VirtualPortGroup -Name $redundantpg
  
  #Remove the vmotion Port Group
  Remove-VirtualPortGroup -VirtualPortGroup $defaultvpg -Confirm:$false |Out-Null
  
  Write-Host "Disconnecting from server"
  #Disconnect from the server
  Disconnect-VIServer -Server 192.168.1.199 -Confirm:$false
  

  What I've noticed, is that I had to use the switch -VirtualPortGroup instead of -name to remove VirtualPortGroup

  Kind regards

• need to change host on existing short host name

  Hi all

  I installed all the packages of core of short (Mdex6.2.1, Platform6.1.1, Workbench2.1) and a pipeline on one of GNU / linux. Now, there is a need to change host name. Hope that it breaks any existing platform and the pipeline. Is there any linked document?

  What I think about short perspective are,

  Change hostname on environment.properties
  URL change on pipeline file esp

  Change the host name of the central server of ABC on Workbench

  URL change the app Setup overview on Workbench

  Is this what I need to consider?

  all comments are more than welcome.

  Thank you

  Take a look at KB support: how to change IP addresses or host names for hosts short (Doc ID 1532056.1).

• Change hosts, I need save email on computer files, before the MX records get switched?

  Hello
  Recently, I changed web hosts and still have my email accounts set up with my former host, with pointing to the old servers MX records.

  I configure Thunderbird accounts and open my existing email accounts via IMAP, it shows all the files and current e-mail I want to keep.

  My questions are-

  Can I save my files to e-mail on my first computer or local files on TB?
  Once the MX records point again - the host of the site, then add files?

  Thank you very much for the help!

  Provide you can still access the old server and emails are still there.
  Synchronize your e-mail records to obtain a copy of the files server on your computer.
  So stop synchronization.
  switch to offline mode.
  Move emails into local folders.
  e-mails in local folders will be stored on your computer.
  When all the emails are safe in local folders, you can remove the e-mail account.

  Be aware that if e-mails have been deleted from the server and synchronize with 'empty' server, then your Thunderbird folders will be updated to match the server and you will lose your emails.

  Also, in offline mode, you can create a backup of these emails.

• b/w esx hosts VMotion using CF Storage share.

  Hi, I wanted to know the esx communicate anything to the storage when its doing a vmotion. Lets say I make a vmotion between 2 esxi hosts share the same storage. I have a private just vnic to vmotion and a separate management and logging FT.  My vmkernel default gateway is the management of vnic. I do all the fiber channel for the shared storage.

  Once a vmotion over, the new esx host must tell the storage that the vm now lives on me. If storage is all CF, how do?

  Yes, locks are on the VMFS file system, so the connection of storage is used.

• vSphere Essentials 5 and vCenter Essentials - cannot add host - vMotion

  I would like to know how to add a host to vCenter Essentials for vSphere essentials.

  We bought vSphere Essentials and Essentials vCenter to improve our existing for Vsphere 4.1 Essentials environment.  Everything went well with the update on the host computer.  vSphere and vCenter allocated through the vSphere client license keys.  We installed vCenter and web client on a 2008 Server VM on the esxi host. The host has a number of existing virtual machines.  When attempting to add a host after have created the data center must be of VMotion.

  Must the esxi host be empty when adding to vCenter essential?

  Thank you.

  It sounds like you administering hosts in the mode of assessment so far and I tried some of the Enterprise Plus features! The Essentials Kit includes not vMotion (only Essentials more done) then you should remove the port vMotion group - if there is one - in the virtual network configuration to make the edition of Essentials-compatible host.

• What is the best way to change hosted on Bluehost site BC. but keep existing accts e-mail on BlueHost?

  My client currently has their old site and multiple e-mail accounts hosted by BlueHost. We are past to welcome his new Web site (created by Muse) on Business Catalyst, but they want to keep their existing e-mail accounts on BlueHost account. At first, I changed the names of servers on Bluehost so the site will host in British Colombia, but then noticed that their emails.

  I found some conflicting info but trying to research the best way to do it: they say that, so that email is not affected and continue to exist with BlueHost, I need to create a record on Bluehost with server names BC while the new site is in British Colombia. Another forum I found said I should change the name servers, and then add an MX record in Business Catalyst (but wouldn't that affect their current emails?). Thanks for all the tips on how to do it. I'm quite new in British Colombia.

  You just need to edit the record

  Point web traffic in British Colombia only.

• PowerCLI: Is it possible for PowerCLI change host/clock?

  I'm a cool & looking for PowerCLI code change the host/clock. I know not what is possible or not. If so, I would like to know how to do, thank you very much!

  You are right that there are currently no PowerCLI cmdlet to manipulate the date/time of a host.

  But PowerCLI, you have access to all properties and methods SDK.

  I assume that you want to use the UpdateDateTime method?

  Which is easy to get with a PowerCLI script.

  Something like that.

  $esx = get-VMHost-name MyEsxiServerName

  $dtSystem = get - see $esx. Extensiondata.ConfigManager.dateTimeSystem

  $dtSystem.UpdateDateTime(Get-Date)

• VCenter as VM change host.

  How can I migrate virtual center from one host to another? VCenter is a virtual machine.

  My license doesn't include VMotion, but if I can migrate with VMotion?

  Thank you too much.

  Hello

  If you have the license, then Yes: a vCenter VM can move from one host to another.

  If you don't have the license, you must:

  -Note the host of your virtual machine is on

  -close

  -connect with the VI client to its host

  -Unregister the virtual machine

  -connect with the VI client to the new host

  -Registry of the virtual machine

  -Start

• How to migrate hosts to one vCenter to another with vDS?

  Hello

  I have 3 hosts who is currently on vCenter 5 and I would like to move in my recent 5.1 vCenter.  Normally, this would be an easy task but with VDS imply I'm bit of confusion how to make the migration without losing the SVD and adjustment.  I don't want to have to rebuild the vDS in the newly built vCenter 5.1

  What are the steps?  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  5.1, you can export and import the settings listed here, but you will not be able to do in your case.

  VDS Import/Export with PowerCLI | VMware PowerCLI Blog - Articles from VMware

  It seems you are trying to do it in an environment 5.x however.  You need to move all your hosts to a standard pass and then unregister / re-register again Vcenter.

  The process is well documented on this blog:
