TSC: 2002815 on the ESX Console screen

HELO, I installed vSphere 4 on an IBM Blade HS 21 with 2 Intel Quad Cores.

Everything works fine. The only thing I got is a TSC red line on the ESX host screen.

The line is:

TSC: cpu0:0 2002815) Init: 461: The Disable/No run run CPU is enabled for this machine.

Someone has this kind of line in the ESX Console screen?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Best regards

Hello

Make sure that your BIOS so that the host is configured correctly. This looks like it could be a BIOS problem as INtel-VT is not enabled. IBM will have the right settings for ESX.

  • How to check the ESX memory for errors?

    Hi all

    I found the suggestion to check the ESX memory for problems.

    I found the information that ESX 3.0 was ramcheck service which could check the memory, but there is no such service in future versions of ESX.

    Could someone help me find how to check the memory without stopping the ESX Server (I could not migrate virtual machines per host)?

    The only way you will get a true test of the memory of the HOST must stop it and run the test directly. Any tool running in the ESX console will only have indirect access RAM. The vmkernel controls access to physical RAM.

  • How to access the ESX service console

    Hi all.

    I'm a TV engineer trying to solve a problem of network with our equipment. I'm not a network engineer.

    I'm trying to follow the VMWareKB: "Troubleshooting connection problems network using the Protocol ARP (Address Resolution)" I'm just trying to check the ARP table exists on our ESX Server and has some entries.

    KB said running 'arp - a' for a list of the ARP table.

    To do this, I need to open a service console. I have now read articles 3 or 4 on the use of the Service Console but I am still unable to open it to run the command. I do not understand what I am doing wrong, I am incredibly stupid or miss me something completely.

    An article said, press 'Alt F1"exactly where I am doing this? A virtual machine is connected to the ESX? An article said "to VIM summary screen' I tried logging on the virtual machine and point a web browser on the server, I get a screen of welcome of ESX with link"Connecting to Web Access", when I click on it I get"Internet Explorer Can t Open The Web page.

    I had a look at VIM, I can see the details of the Vswitch network on the configuration page, including the IP address of the console service. Can't see how to open a service console. VIM of pointing at the address for service console is unable to do anything.

    I just need to know how to open the Service console and check the tables of ARP based on the KB.

    Please dumb down of your responses to me!

    The fundamental problem is about some units of electric distribution that we use to power the equipment in the racks. They have a network connection which we track using Virtual Machines to the report of a third person of monitoring and control software. The virtual machines are running alarm software driver used to report to the third party. The virtual machine is on a blade server.

    We have a problem where a unit of the IML has been replaced but configured with incorrect default gateway address. In the hours to do so, the monitoring and control software lost connection to ILM and one by one, all units of the IML began to send the ARP requests - "who has 10.172.248.254'.

    Finally, the MDU constantly send ARP requests and the MDU have lost connectivity to the virtual computer. If we open the VM machine, follow up and a MUD, the ping command ping fails, if we put a laptop in place an ILM and ping the machine VM, the ping works fine.

    If power us off/on the ILM voltage they are good, but we are a 24/7 operation and power cycling the MDU is considered risky.

    We have had this problem before and the only solution was to rebuild the virtual machine and assign all MDU to a new network address.

    All switches ILM is connected (foundry Falstron GS) have been verified by the support of our network guys and we are told are all good. The blade server hosts about 20 VM and they work just fine from other systems SNMP traffic monitoring.

    If anyone has any ideas I'm all ears.

    Hello

    As stated, the console is the administration interface that you can use directly on the hardware. It is not a VM (as such) that connect you with the standard management GUI. You can SSH in the network or you can be "physically connected" as you say (I would use HP SIM or the ILO to connect directly to the blade). Once you have that screen upward, press 'Alt + F1' and you connect. Then you should be able to follow the KB to check the ARP table.

    See you soon,.

  • When I try to access the Recovery Console, "Welcome to Setup" screen does not appear and it asks me to install on a partition... Help

    My office has the continuous loop reboot of Windows XP SP3 ("UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" STOP 0x000000ED - 0x8A8EB7B8). When I put my Windows XP Pro installation CD to access the recovery console to make the steps required to solve the problem. The "Welcome to Setup" screen ever comes back to press 'R' to arrive at the RC. Instead a screen comes up that says, "the following list shows the existing partitions and space unpartitioned on this computer." Then, he gives me the ability to press ENTER to install Windows XP, press C to create a partition, or D to delete a partition.

    Why can't I to the Recovery Console to fix the reboot loop?
    Most importantly, I lost some data on my hard drive? If it won't let me even get to the RC?

    I found a solution to my problem and it worked!

    If anyone else has this problem follow these steps:

    Click on this link and follow the instructions to make a CD of Windows XP Recovery Console. http://www.proposedsolution.com/Downloads/Download-Windows-Recovery-Console/

    Then, when you start using the CD, this...

    1. When you see the "Welcome" screen
    2. press on 'R' to use your Recovery Console to repair the installation
    3. Type "chkdsk/r" and press "enter." CHKDSK will analyze and repair your hard disk. Type "Exit" once this process is complete.

    Your computer will restart and should be fixed. at least mine was.

    I hope this helps!

  • 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

  • Comments about "VMware KB: verification of the deprivation of resources of the ESX/ESXi Service Console ' (1003496)

    Hi and happy 2012!

    Is the title of the article VMware 1003496 KB (Knowledge Base) - http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003496 - "VMware KB: verification of the deprivation of resources of the ESX/ESXi Service Console" (article updated May 16, 2011). A better title might be "VMware KB: searching for deprivation of resources of the Console of the ESX Service / ESXi Tech Support Mode" since ESXi does not have a "Service Console".
    Article also mentions in ESXi running the command "top":
    " (...) ESX/ESXi includes the top utility to be able to check the use of the resources on the service console. (...)"
    " (...)  To check the use of the methods on the service console:
    1. Sign in to your service console of the ESX host as root from a SSH session or directly from the console of the server.  If you connect ESXi Support mode.
    2. Type back to top ."

    However, if you enable the Remote Tech Support Mode (SSH) in ESXi (at least in ESXi 4.1 Update 1) - similar to a "Service Console" - the 'top' command seems to not be available:
    ~ # top
    -Ash: top: not found

    ~ # find /-iname high
    ~ #
    On the other hand, the article could have mentioned "esxtop" which is available in 'ESXi' (at least in ESXi 4.1 Update 1):
    ~ # find /-iname esxtop
    / sbin/esxtop
    I hope this information is useful. I propose that this article (1003496) is updated accordingly.
    Thank you!

    Ricardo, we have updated the article to take account of the ESX Classic only.

    foreach($cluster in Get-Cluster){
        Get-VMHost -Location $cluster | `    Select @{N="Cluster";E={$cluster.Name}},
            @{N="Host";E={$_.Name}},
            @{N="Console IP";E={[string]::Join(',',((Get-VMHostNetwork -VMHost $_).ConsoleNic | %{$_.IP}))}}
    }

  • ESX using the Remote Console connection

    Hello everyone.

    I need your advice about connecting to ESX using the remote console.

    When I try to connect to using the remote console ESX vsphere Client, sometimes borrowed is broken. then I try to find out what is happening.

    It seems that gateway setting which is the cause of connection page. The failure of connection every time, gateway ESX is different from the vsphere client gateway.

    Are there requirements when connecting ESX using the remote console, like ESX gateway should be corresponding to gateway of vsphere client or something...

    {I would appreciate any information, THNAK I YOU: 8}

    Remember that the bridge will depend on the network, the device is turned on - so if your ESX server and the computer running the vSphere client are on the same network then yes they should have the same gateway.

  • ESX 3.5: copy files using the service console from a network share to the esx host data store

    Hello

    I wonder. Is there a command that I can run the service console that would allow me to copy a file from a network share on the data store on the esx host?

    Eric

    If sharing is a Windows, you can also use smbclient within the service console and ride sharing.

  • After that I changed the Duplex parameter on NIC's Service console, I am not able to connect the ESX host

    Hi all

    Please help solve my problem.

    After that I changed the Duplex parameter on NIC's Service console, I am unable to connect the ESX host. How can I reset the 100 MB NETWORK card duplex. Can someone help me please.

    Concerning

    Vijay

    Hello

    As the bulb you have two problems that are not related.

    (1) duplex setting, your switch and NIC must match. If one is assigned to auto-negotiation, then the other must be set to auto-negotiation. Personally, I tend to let auto-negotiation unless there is an absolute reason to spend. If you then turn on the both sides of the interface, the switch port and esxcfg-NICS allows you to change the duplex, etc.

    (2) passwords for root are not related to the network unless you have also run esxcfg-auth authentication remote.  The only time I saw what you have here is when the system is configured to try to authenticate remote and not locally.

    The two problems are fixable by booting into single-user mode, set the duplex and reset the password.
