Unable to add esxi for appliance Vcenter Server

• Cannot add ESXi host to vCenter Server

  Hello

  I created a home set up a VMware datacenter for study purposes. I currently have 2 virtual machines: an ESXi host with vCenter Server Appliance deployed on this subject.

  I configured the server vCenter through web interface device and I have connected using vSphere Client.

  I created a data center, but when I try to add a host, I get "ERROR: the request exceeded."
  Connection with vSphere client directly to the ESXi host works.

  I can connect using SSH to the ESXi host.

  I have disabled the firewall on the ESXi host.

  I have read many articles on the kbase but nothing helped me to solve this problem.

  You have any ideas?

  I finally got to understand.

  It seems like my vmware workstation is not connected to the esxi as a physical host in my local network host, and so I was able to ping it unit of vCenter Server (but it worked the other way around, and that's why I thought it was ok).

  After the connection to the physical LAN of VMware workstation settings, everything worked fine.

• Do need me a separate license for VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat for a remote SQL Server database?

  Do need me a separate license for VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat for a remote SQL Server database?

  Only a single vCenter Server Heartbeat license is necessary to protect the components of the vCenter Server installed remotely, including SQL Server. A single license is also used for several UNIQUE for vCenter Server services protected authentication servers. A license is required per instance of vCenter Server.

• Add a 5.1 ESXI host to vcenter server 5.0

  Hi all

  I just installed an esxi5.1 host and tried to add in vcenter server 5.0 without success.

  The error is:

  A general error occurred: Timed waits vpxa to start

  Is it possible to do? If not, is documented somewhere? I searched a lot and found nothing relevant.

  The installation was made using an iso file, the new facility, in a shared, storage warehouse that has been formatted.

  I don't want vcenter server 5.1 as the impact of my infrastructure is high.

  Thanks for the help!

  VMware product interoperability matrix got the update and you would need 5.1 vCenter to manage 5.1 ESXi hosts

• Unable to add previous hosts to vCenter device

  Greetings.  We are migrating our guests to new hardware.  We had three hosts for running ESXi 5.5.0 - 1331820 with the vCenter device on one of them.  Everything worked well.  In the process of moving virtual machines around, vCenter device has been deleted (intentionally).  We recreated the device of the OVA 5.5.0.5201 vCenter and ran through the Installation Wizard as previously.

  Now, when you add one of the existing hosts to vCenter, it finds the host and displays information.  When the user clicks on finish, it works quickly up to 80% and the host appears, and then disconnects.  The log shows: add host independent, added host, unable to connect host computer in the data center; connection error host, removed in the data center.

  The error showing is: cannot communicate with the specified host (x.x.x.x). The host may not be available on the network, may have a network configuration problem, or that the management on this host services may not respond.

  
  

  Now the stupid thing is that we can not even add the host on which the vCenter unit is on.  In addition, all hosts and vCenter unit are on the same network of management.  There is no firewall doesn't block all ports.  I read through a lot of the display of the Knowledge Base, and most is in regards to incorrect IP addresses or ports blocked or similar.  I checked through everything and could not find anything wrong.

  
  

  Last thing is that we amazed the ESXi host that had the vCenter device on it and re-installed 5.5.0 - 1623387 ESXi (version a little more recent than before) and reinstalled the that vCenter device exactly as before.  Now we can add that the host but still cannot add other hosts.  So it appears the issue is something with the hosts and not the device vCenter. 

  
  

  Anyone have any ideas?
  

  I run in to the same kind of problems with other factors.

  FWIW, have you tried the following in this order? 1 stop the vpxa on host, 2 service. Stop the service vmware-vpxd on the vcenter server, 3. Start the vmware-vpxd on the vcenter server, 4 service. Start the serivce vpxa on the host. Then try to add.

• Manage an ESXi host using vCenter Server?

  I understand it is possible and requires of the specific licenses for ESXi hosts, even if I find information on the VMWare site a bit confused as to what I need exactly. We have-

  1 License Server Standard 4 x vCenter

  4 x vSphere Enterprise license 4 (who manage our ESX 4 hosts this site)

  3 (and soon 4) remote sites that have the same server ESXi

  I would like to be able to manage ESXi host using vCenter as well, is this possible with what we have? If this isn't the case, can someone direct me as to what it takes?

  Thank you

  You need the standard by CPU socket for each host license to add to vCenter.

  You can always create a separate environment and get the Essentials Bundle (up to 3 guests max) for $500:

  So you should have 2 vCenter servers.

• 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.

• ESXi 5.1 (vCenter Server). VM migration

  Hi guys,.

  I learn ESXi 5.1.

  System ESXi5.1 Enterprise + VCenter Server with HA

  I have a system with 2 hosts who share external storage DAS (Shared)

  Each host has a local data store. The system therefore has: 1 Shared stored (provided by the external storage) and 2 shops (one for each host)

  Activity:

  (1) I created a virtual machine that is on the shared Stored.

  (2) turn off the virtual machine

  (3) the right - click on the virtual machine and in the menu select: migrate... >

  (4) choose the local store

  (5) Once finished, I found the following situation:

  (6) Home > inventory > hosts and Clusters

  (7) selected the VM (migrated)

  (8) the tab press < summary >. I see listed in the < storage > window: the shared storage and the local bank.

  I don't understand:

  Why the < shared > store is still listed even if the virtual machine has been migrated to < Local > store?

  (Observation: in home > inventory > warehouses of data and Clusters: according to the < storage > locar store I see the migrated VM, while if I select the < Shared store > I don't see the virtual machine).

  Thanks a lot for your help

  You can check if you have an ISO mounted on virtual machine?

  If you disconnect the ISO, it must disappear from view.

• Add esxi host to vCenter fails

  Hello world

  I recently installed vCenter Server. I added the first host by the name of full domain with no problems at all. I tried to add the second host and he stopped the vCenter service and I have my client I disconnected.  When I restart the service and connect through the client, the host is as disconnected displaying 7 VM 12 of offline as well. All virtual machines and on the first host are always connected without any alarm.

  This server was connected to another server vCenter, more than a month and deleted successfully, I can add. I tried to unplug and reconnect several times, restart management agents and manually uninstall the vCenter agent using the console "unsupported."

  One thing I noticed, is that it gets to 8 or 9 percent, and that's when the vCenter service is stopped. I opened a second client to watch where it stops and it is just after "Select the virtual NETWORK adapter" full show then nothing.

  Any help would be much appreciated!

  Thank you

  Ahh. There is your situation.

  Stop the virtual machine. Click on remove inventory.

  Go to your other ESXi host. Browse the data store, find the folder of the virtual machine, right-click on the VM.vmx file and add to the inventory.

  It works and're you good to go.

  Conversely when you need your choice.

• RISKS associated with the absence of a SYS logs for newspapers and ESXi host newspapers vCenter Server

  What is the inherent risk to not configure a server of SYS logs. The sys normal newspapers configured in the data store have a maximum

  amount of storage restrictions or it develops utlize the configured size of the data store. Thank you very much for your answers.

  Locally stored logs to rotate and do not grow very big at all. I see no technical risk associated to this as filling a data store, etc.

• Can no longer add ESXi host to vCenter but OK VI Client connects

  I removed an ESXi host in a cluster on vCenter. Now when I try to add the host (whether for the cluster or stand-alone) the add hosts Wizard appears and has the correct information, but when I cliquerai on closing, that nothing happens for a few minutes, then I get the error:

  Unable to reach the specified host... Maybe it's because this host is not available on the network, there is a problem with the network configuration or management on the host services do not react.

  However, I can connect to the host directly with the VI client and which works very well, even though the events tab displays "VFAT: 2583: Possible FAT Corruption." My copy of ESXi is on a flashdrive in a HP Blade.

  I tried to reboot the host, but it makes no difference. Several of the responses to other users of similar problems is recommended to perform "service vmware-vpxa restart" on the host, but this does not apply to ESXi. I also tried to restart the vCenter, but that makes no difference either.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Will be

  Download iso hpvm-recovery on HP site and reinstall ESXi on flash drive.

  UPD: Yes, as Neil said, check your key USB HP if you bought ESXi Embedded. If you have the Green key aluminum, require the replacement of HP. And then, you definitely have to download iso that I mentioned above

• I7 2600 k P8H67-i Deluxe MB and vCenter Server ESXi 5 appliance

  I7 2600 k P8H67-i Deluxe MB and vCenter Server, 16 GB, and ESXi 5 device

  One has been able to run vCenter Server Appliance on this material?

  vCenter Server Appliance does not start

  I run ESXi 4.1 on a server and more office built a user-friendly machine for ESXi 5

  ESXi 5 start ok, installs and runs a test VM ok.

  But after downloading appliance vCenter server and deployed the ovf, the virtual machine will not start.

  I'm reasonably confident that the deployment was OK, as I've done it before on ESXi 4.1 (but on a server with Xeon processor).

  The message of the console is

  
  Message of the Virtual Machine
  This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit operating systems. However, 64-bit
  operation is not possible.
  Longmode is disabled for this virtual machine
  For more information, see http://vmware.com/info?id=52
  Continue without 64 bit support

  Yes

  NO.

  If I select 'No', I get 'not enough video RAM.

  If I check the box 'Yes' I get

  This kernel requires an x 86-64 processor but only detected an i686 CPU.
  Could not start - please use a kernel suitable for your CPU.

  I've been through settings and advice re longmode, but just can't get the right settings.

  Thanks in advance for any response

  In order to run the 64-bit clients, you need to enable 'VT - x' in the system BIOS. In addition to this I also recommend you activate "Execute Disable Bit" and - if necessary - disable "VT - d" as well as "Trusted Execution". Once done, save the BIOS settings and the power of the system (power power off) cycle. If this does not resolve the problem, thanks for posting the latest vmware.log of the virtual machine.
