• ESXi installation before vCenter Server?  How can I get vCenter Server on a virtual machine on ESXi servers?

  My plan for a new vSphere Essentials Plus 5.5 U2a installation is to have the vCenter Server on a virtual machine on the servers of the host on which is installed ESXi.  However, all the installation instructions I found indicate the user to first install the vCenter Server.  How can I get vCenter Server on a virtual machine on ESXi servers?

  Thank you for your help.

  Hi munkyman welcome to communities.

  After you have installed your first ESXi host, open a browser and go to https://your-ESXi-ip-or-FQDN

  You can download the vSphere Client here. It is a windows application that you can install on your desktop. It is often referred to as the "c# Client vSphere" in communities and blog posts, because it is a new implemented in the vCenter Server Web client.

  But for the beginning, install the vSphere Windows Client. You can then launch it and connect directly to your ESXi host. Here you can create your first virtual machine, which can be the VM vCenter (installation of Windows or device, that is you).

  You can use the web client or connect to the Server with the client c# vSphere vCenter VCenter runs.

• Are there problems in the creation of a virtual machine in VMware Workstation or Server and then move it to ESXi?

  Hello

  I intend to pass our mailserver's current installation of Windows Server 2003 running on native hardware in a Windows Server 2008 running in a virtual machine on ESXi.

  This is the same machine as we will reuse so I would prefer to be able to create the virtual machine on a different computer and test it before wiping Windows and install ESXi. Are there problems with the creation of the virtual machine in VMware Server and then migrate to ESXi using VMware Converter? I won't if the result is not a 'perfect' virtual machine that performs as well as if it had been created on ESXi from the beginning.

  All our other VMs were created on ESXi from the beginning.

  Kind regards

  René Frej Nielsen

  If you are not sure, you can load VMware Server 2 and then install ESXi in it and test your configuration.  Do all this from your desktop (as it is decent).  You can also do in my computer.  A quick google search should give you all the information you need to get something like this configuration.

• can we run two virtual machines simultaneously on ESXi

  Hi all

  I created two virtual machines

  1 & gt; Windows2003

  2 & gt; Red Hat Linux 5

  but I'm not able to run two machines at the same time, when I try to turn on the second machine as the other machines it works throw me error saying "resource memory Admission Control failure".

  Second thing can we export machines, we have created?

  Thank you

  Carla

  You'll probably have to remove the virtual machine to add at least 600 MB - have you seen the instructions on post - http://communities.vmware.com/message/1026853#1026853.

• Two virtual machines running on a same PC network

  Hi all:

  I'm running both SUSE Linux Virtual Machines (VM) with VMPlayer on a PC with Windows server 2008. The two virtual machines are configured to the bridge at the same host physical ethernet port (bridge mode). Started the first virtual machine can access the network without problem, but the second VM started not. The order from VM has been changed in order to check if it was a configuration problem on one of the virtual machine, but according to the virtual machine that is launched in the first place seems if appropriate switch VMnet0 and block access to the second VM. Defined for each virtual computer LANs are different: 10.2.1.0/24 for a VM and 10.4.1.0/24 for the other.

  Any help will be really appreciated

  Case resolved, I realize that he had a message waiting in the toolbar of VMware by saying * adapter Ethernet0 do not have network connectivity. MAC 00 address: 0C: 29:58:61:19 adapter Ethernet0 is located between reserved address or is being used by another virtual card on your system. *. I just checked on google and found an identical case on the VMware communities with the solution: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/269465?start=0&tstart=0. To make the story short my VMs have been duplicated and used the same MAC address. So just stop a virtual machine and generate a new MAC for him in settings-> settings-> Advance-> ECS

• Performance of the virtual machine on ESXI 5

  Hello

  I have a DELL R710 server and I would like to install about 18 VM servers. almost all of them are Centos Linux 64-bit and 2 Win XP and Win7.

  I have 48 GB of RAM and 2 processors with a total of 12 cores.

  I would like to know if this can not work?

  should I worry about more power (cores) CPU or RAM?

  I'm pretty new to VMWare ESXi and I not change any configuration on the ESXI system.

  that I should?

  I guess I work in a mode of sharing...

  So basically, I need to know if I would have the same ratio of VM CPU and memory, as I do with physical machines CPU and Memoery?

  Thank you very much!!

  Dothan.

  I use about 4 GB of RAM for each virtual computer.

  With 18 virtual machines, it will be 72 GB of RAM, and if you have only 48 physical RAM in the host it will be little tight. There is a lot of memory reappropriation of the techniques used by the Vmkernel, but this might be a little too much.

  I agree with Weinstein that you should start with a lower amount of vRAM for each virtual computer and increase if necessary.

• Migration of virtual machines in ESXi 4.1 to 5.5 to new hardware

  I'm new to VMware and our company bought 4 new servers and a SAN to replace our old VSphere 4.1 installation of 12 year.  The old configuration consisting of a server VCenter 4.1 physics 2003, 2 Dell 2900 ESXi hosts and 1 MD300i SAN.  Gen9 again the Installer 4 HP DL360 (3 host 1 VCenterServer) and MSA 2040.  Can someone please explain to me what would be the best way to go about moving more of our VM current for the new hardware? I found this from a previous post here, but it does not move the virtual machine to a SAN to another.

  Migration of the VMs of ESXi 4.x to 5.5

  "If I understand your question, continue to build the new environment of 5.5 with your 3 hosts from scratch 'ignoring' your old hosts. Once your new environment up & running, connect 4.1 guests to your new server vCenter Server and vMotion to move virtual machines while they run to the new cluster (live migration without interruption).

  VMTools upgrades do not have place automatically during migration.

  Once your virtual machines on new hosts, update tools as usual and you can then also upgrade virtual hardware of your virtual machines.

  Virtual HW update is optional, though; If you do not have the VMs that need the new features you can skip this last step and keep them as they are. »

  TYIA.

  The previous answer is pretty good, but I would like to add a few elements.

  You can 'disconnect' your 4.1 hosts of your old vcenter with running virtual machines, and then when you connect the hosts in your environment of 5.5 it will import your VM running as well.  As long as you have properly configured virtual networks you can live migrate vmfs old host and the old store of data simultaneously via the web client as long as your esx license allows it.  Otherwise close your virtual machines down to 1 at a time to migrate them above.

  Alternatively, you can consider running your vcenter as a virtual machine within the cluster it manages.  This gives you some DRS and HA for vcenter, plus a 4th host for virtual machines.

  If you don't have additional license you can also install your new hosts of 5.5 and run for 60 days before that you upgrade your 4.1 licenses to apply to your new host.

• How to export/import a virtual machine with ESXi 5

  I use the free version of ESXi 5 and have created a virtual machine that is configured with the software for our project. I would like to share this virtual machine with other members of the team, some of whom are in other places and have slow network connections.  I want to pack the VM in a reasonable size file or a set of files I could ftp (or put it on DVD for people in areas of slow network) that they could then import into their ESXi hosts. The virtual machine has a 60 GB drive that is implemented by using the option 'thin', so it contains only 6 or 7 GB of real data right now.  Is it possible to export the image to a file or set of files that can be imported to another people ESXI host?  Before when I used VM Player we could do this by upgrading backup files in virtual machine directory and copy them to the new machine. With the ESXi data store, I don't know that something like this can be done.  I used vCenter Converter to convert to ESXi Infrastructure VM in VM Player format (and vice versa), but it is extremely slow. I think I might point the Source to my ESXi host and the Destination to a co-workers ESXi host and run a 'conversion' to transfer the files, but I think it would be very slow and impractical for some people to 'slow-network '.  I tried with vSphere Client navigation data store and I see the download options, but when I tried to download a VM directory it just hung.  I enabled ssh on my server ESXi and I found the store of data under/vmfs/volumes and when I look in the folder that contains my VM, there a file myvmname - flat hard which is 60 GB in size, so if I tar the contents of this folder to move elsewhere it will be huge.

  Can anyone suggest a solution?  The licensed version of ESXi would offer better alternatives?

  You can watch export OVF available in the Client vSphere for this function.

• Two virtual machines share the same physical network adapter

  I have a virtual network adapter that I linked to a physical network adapter on my box where two virtual machines are running.

  I assigned two virtual machines to this vmnet adapter.

  On one I can ping other machines of physics on the same subnet as the physical computer, but the other VM can ping only other virtual machines.

  When I try to ping from one physical computer to this virtual machine I get the error message windows "ping transmission has failed. General failure. ».

  Is what I'm trying to are not not possible?

  First thing to do is to ensure the automatic bypass is enabled disabled in the VMnet virtual network editor your use to the bridge to.

  Second need to see the output of ipconfig/all on the Windows host and guests and or ifconfig on the Linux host and or guests.

  DO NOT copy and paste the output directly in the body of the response rather redirect the output of the commands in a text file and then archive (compress) files in a single zip archive and attach it to an answer.

  You can use the following example:

  Under Windows:

  ipconfig/all > "% USERPROFILE%\Desktop\host_ipconfig.txt".

  ipconfig/all > "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\guest (n) _ipconfig.txt".

  Linux:

  ifconfig > ~/Desktop/host_ipconfig.txt

  ifconfig > ~/Desktop/guest (n) _ipconfig.txt

  Also include in the archive .zip .vmx and vmware*.log for two Virtual Machines configuration files.

• Best way to make a copy of a virtual machine in ESXi 4 and the free version of vSphere client

  Hello

  I have:

  ESXi 4 Update 1, vSphere 4.0 Build 208167, vmware converter 4.0.1 client build 16.12.34

  VM is Windows Server 2008 R2 Ent

  I'm trying to make a clone of a virtual machine for the purpose of creating one server of another out of it.  I use the converter and still after I have successfully connected to the virtual machine, I always get the error "Unable to get information about the selected machine material" when you click Next.

  My goal is to create a virtual machine.  Put an operating system on it, and then just use it as a model to create other virtual machines.  Is there a way to make that either is not involved or pay for an upgrade order lines?

  If it means order lines, could someone please go through the steps to achieve this?

  It would be great if I could understand why the converter does not work.  I heard I could drop-down list for version 3.0, but I could not find it available for download.

  Thank you!

  Name change is not necessary, as the vmdk files will be isolated in the new VM folder. If you want to rename on the concern of the Organization, you will need the vmkfstools on RCLI user, but I think really is not so necessary, so you do not use complicated distributions of disc inside your data store.

  About converter, I just wanted to know how you use it. Nevermind install again, I had kind of her. Check the settings change VM, on the Options tab, if the guest operating system is configured correctly. Even if this is the case, change to another, click ok and then configure it to the right and test to boost conversion.

• How to make a submission even as RDM for two Virtual Machines

  Hi I have a question.

  We have a server ESX4.0 with two Virtual Machines running on it. I presented a 100 GB of SAN storage to this particular ESX host, this storage space must be shared between two virtual machines as RDM.

  But when I add this storage on a computer virtual as RDM, it does not allow me to present the same storage another VM, of RDM is displayed under the name hidden. Is it possible to do so.

  Kind regards

  Khurram Shahzad

  This is only possible with the MSCS clustering functionality.  With the same logic unit or disc number to multiple hosts without clusting will damage the volume of data / as the new system will try to initialize the disk.

  Your RDM may also need to be in virtual compatibility mode to do this.

  The guide of vmware on clustering with MSCS and there should be information about it.

• Two virtual machines to communicate with each other - intent an SMS Lab for test deployment?

  Hi friends ,.

  I am a new user and would like your help pretty desperately. The scenario is that I want to implement a SMS Lab to deploy the application from the server to a client and test the application. I have all the necessary knowledge to the packaging of application is concerned, and would like to help as much as VMWare is concerned.

  I created two virtual machines and one of them will be configured as a server and the other will be the client. I created a team with these two machines in it. I am trying to ping from one machine to the other and its does not work. I only use the method of configuration host. The idea is simply to make the two systems communicate so that I can finish the entire configuration and use the same SMS deployment lab.

  -First of all, I'm new to all this so I would like to know whther to everything I do is correct and what is the largest possible?

  -What I have to do something else to make sure that those two communicate about someother or any other configuration software is necessary?

  I would like to ask you guys to be a little more specific are you when you help others that I need you guys ore than a person who is used to working on VMWare.

  And just so you know if it helps, I use VMWare Workstation 6.0.

  What you are doing is reasonable.  Both of your virtual machines have an IP address on the same subnet?  In general, the scenarios no-ping, the first thing to check is the firewall in the guest computers.  Have you checked that allows ping traffic?  If it is disabled?

• Change the default options for a NEW virtual machine in ESXI 5.1

  Hello

  I am looking for a solution change the 'default' options for a new virtual machine created in ESXI 5.1

  I want to have parameters such as 'cpu/memory HOT-add' default to enabled instead of disabled.

  There may be more options to change to a new virtual machine.

  All those who have an option to change the 'default' options for new virtual machines?

  THX

  You can change the/etc/vmware/config of vSphere host file and add the lines mem.hotadd = 'TRUE' and vcpu.hotadd = 'TRUE '.
  The settings then apply to any VM on this host when virtual machines are turned on...

  I just tried this on a 5.1 ESXi host and it seems to work perfectly...
