• 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.

• 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

• Add ESXi4 host to vCenter 5.5 has failed, host do not support VSANS

  Hi all. I have to build a laboratory to test running with vCenter 5.5 and a server Dell PE 1950 ESXi 4.  I try to add the ESXi 4 host to vCenter 5.5 (towards a test cluster), however, the process of adding a host failed with the error message "host"x.x.x.x"does not support VSANS".  If anyone of you experience this problem, and is there a way around this problem?  I understand VSAN is a new feature on ESXi 5.1 and later, but I don't expect you to stop me adding ESXi 4 on the cluster... Thank you.

  My bad.  I thought about it.  I activated the VSANS on the cluster; Once I disabled the option to VSAN on the cluster, I am able to add the host ESXi 4...

• Add a host to vcenter ip or dns?

  I must add two hosts virtual Center and create a cluster, I must add the host using the IP or DNS address? Add a host IP: 192.168.10.11 or vmware1.cliente.locale?

  use the DNS name.  Especially if you use HA.  name resolution, in my opinion is recommended.

  Now, I installed device as VM on esx1 VCenter. IP of Vcenter server appliance is 192.168.111.128

  Now, after being part of the server of the device configuration, when I connect to the device via c# client server. I am able to add esx1 but not esx2 host.

  ESX2 isn't to pings from the server to the device.

  ESX1 and esx2 are who answered the other.

  server appliance, and ESX1 esx2 are pings from my window machine on which I have installed VMware Workstation to set up this environment.

  I rebooted twice esx2 and change the IP address as well of 192.168.111.131 to 192.168.111.132, but no luck

  Any help to the above question is very appreciated.

• 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.

• Unable to connect hosts to vCenter

  Hello

  I see this problem is well known, but after trying everything I found here or on the different VMWare KBs (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1027672), you are my last hope !

  When I try to add a host to vCenter (via vSphere Client or vSphere Web Client), I have the following error:

  • Cannot contact the specified host. 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

  About versions of software:

  • ESXi 6.0
  • vCenter 5.5 (installed on a Windows Server 2008R2)
  • vSphere Client 5.5

  Here's what I CAN do.

  • The host can ping vCenter (both with IP and server name)
  • vCenter can ping on the host (with IP and server name)
  • DNS resolution works great
  • I can connect directly to the host with vSphere Client (and create a virtual machine, if I want to)
  • The host is not in "Lockdown" mode
  • The vCenter database is clean (MSQL Express, a small)
  • I tried to affect the timeout of negotiating SSL 12000ms, as it is mentioned in the KB, but the problem is still there
  • vpxa service is running on the host computer

  If you have advice, information, even the smallest one, please share it!

  Could this be a problem in version? A known issue with 6.0 ESXi and vCenter 5.5?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Yes, problem solved.

  My mistake was that I just add the network configuration of the ESXi domain suffix, but I did not actually Add the ESXi host at the estate, with the permission of the administrator of the domain. (Now, it seems so obvious...)

  So I had to plug directly into the host ESXi via Vsphere (in my case Windows), go to the configuration tab and add the host to the domain.

  After that, everything went well.

  Thanks again Andrew for your help on this!

  Nice day

• Cannot add 6 ESXi to vCenter

  Hello

  I hope someone can help, I'll through in circles!

  I am using ESXi for years, but always as unique hosts. Recently, I obtained a license for vCenter 6 essential elements and put on the creation of a laboratory.

  
  

  I have two ESXi hosts, a Mac Mini (192.168.1.0/24) and a Dell PowerEdge (192.168.10.0/24), the two v6 ESXi running. vCenter v6 is running on a virtual computer on the Dell Poweredge server and works. Can be connect/license/administer etc. Also, I added successfully to the Mac Mini to the new data center.

  
  

  However, I can't add the Dell Poweredge server. Whenever I pass by the host process add I get the following:

  
  

  "Unable to contact the specified host (hostname.domain.local). "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"

  
  

  Also, when I have RDP on the vCenter virtual hosting machine I ping the server Poweredge ESXi by IP, host name and the FULL domain name, but I can not connect to it via vSphere Client. However, if I use my laptop (192.168.1.0/24 range GOLD 192.168.10.0/24) I can correctly connect the Poweredge ESXi server.

  
  

  Can I add a host ESXi, vCenter vCenter is running on this host?

  
  

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Can I add a host ESXi, vCenter vCenter is running on this host?

  Yes, you can, but you must ensure that the appropriate network ports are open between ESXi and vCenter. VCenter Server both the ESXi (to PowerEdge) are running on the same subnet?

• Download the stand-alone host to vCenter License Server failed because the exception: vim.fault.HostConnectFault.

  Location:

  ESXi 5.5 Update 2 stand-alone host with a licnese Essentials

  vCenter Server 5.5 Update 2

  Whenever I'm going to add this host to vCenter he fails with the error: download the file < HOST IP > license to vCenter Server failed because the exception: vim.fault.HostConnectFault.

  I restarted the server vCenter, tried different credentials and looked through all the articles online that I can find online with the same question and nothing none of them suggested has worked so far.

  Thoughts?  Ideas?

  I'll leave this here in the event that it helps someone else.  I was using an administrator account on the stand-alone host in an attempt to add it via vCenter.  Once I started using the Root account on the host, I could add without problems.

• Adding esxi host to vcenter

  Hello

  I can't add a 5.1 ESXi host to VCenter server (5.1). When I try to add the host to vcenter, I get an error message "a general system error occurred, VMODL incompatibility between VC and ESXi."

  Need help.

  Usually this error appears when the ESXi host, you're trying to add has a newer version than vCenter.  Depending on your case, both have same version. In fact, it should work fine without any problem.

  Can you please confirm the ESXi and vCenter versions? Also can you please post numbers comes together?

• Error adding host vmware vCenter

  Hello

  I have the free version of VMware ESXi 5.1 installed. When I tried to add my host to vcenter 5.1 with the trial version I get the error message below. I can't use esxi 5.1 edition for free with the trial version of vcenter 5.1 is?

  "The host is licensed with VMware vSphere hypervisor 5. The edition of vCenter License Server does not support VMware vSphere hypervisor 5".

  Hi sbala,

  The free version of the hypervisor cannot be managed by vCenter.

  You must allow the hosts with at least ESXi Standard - the free version of the hypervisor can be managed with vCenter.

  Thank you

• Foundation problems and host to vCenter Standard.

  Our Organization has two autonomous vSphere hosts with Standard licenses.  We do not have shared storage, that is why we do not need advanced options vCenter in our environment.  However, we recently purchased vCenter Foundation of easy update of our guests.  I have installed and configured the vCenter server and now I am trying to add our hosts to vCenter inventory, but I encounter the following error:

  "License not available to perform the operation.  The Standard license for vSphere 4 to host x.x.x.x does not VMotion.  Upgrade the license. »

  Is it possible to manage ESX VMware vCenter Foundation Standard?  Should I upgrade to Advanced host licenses?  It is quite expensive, especially considering the limited functionality that I need vCenter.  Is there another way to address the issue?

  Thank you in advance.
