"Unable to connect to the MKS: unable to connect to the host [servernamehere] failed on vSphere 4.0 and client.

Anyone have this problem?  I loaded vSphere 4.0 host ESX 3.5 and everything seems to work very well yesterday, after sleep more testings and this error arose:

"Unable to connect to the MKS: unable to connect to the host failed on vSphere 4.0 and client.

After a google search, I could it is resolved by placing the DNS entries on the client machine c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file point to my ESX host name and domain name FULL name runs and it worked fine.  I'm curious to know why this went well?

What is MKS mean in this case?  Server key from Microsoft or the key management server?

If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'useful '. Thank you!!!

Kind regards

When you click on the console of a virtual machine, the server that hosts the vm responds back with its host name for your client to connect to.  Thus, the MKS console could not be connected to, and you could not see the virtual machine console, until you updated name resolution.  Given that the ESX host is back with a name, the customer could not resolve the name, if your client could not connect to the virtual computer mouse, keyboard, screen.  Hope that makes more sense.

  • How to pass the host vcenter is installed on?

    We just bought a new server that came with ESXi 5.0. We want to upgrade to 5.1 before adding virtual machines. We have only a handful of VMware servers, so this is the first time that we used vcenter. We licensed Essentials and installed vcenter VM and installed Manager upgrade on a server that is separate from Windows.

    When I try to upgrade from the host, it fails. I guess it's because I'm trying to get the same host I'm trying to get to level?

    I think that you do not use shared storage as you could just vmotion vcenter

    and with your lic does storage vmotion

    you have to pass the vcenter to another host.

    You can move VMs from the vcenter through a move/copy to another host via a data store browser

    or

    connection to the host, vcenter for export to the FVO, turn off vcenter. Connect to host2, import ovf containing vcenter.

    still a pain...

    or you could do manual updates on the host.

    Anyway its not too easy to do...

  • How to get the host ESX DR see replicated Celerra Lun

    Hi guys, Im setting up SRM with 2 x NS20 and ive got regarding the configuration of the LUN on the production storage array, Lun on the storage LUN appropriate to prod/dr esx servers present DR Bay. Ive set up replication and added the DR lun to the esx server, ensuring not to add it as he will write a signature. I've then added the production on the production ESX Server LUNs, added storage which obviously writes a signature on the drive, and with the installation of the replication, I expected to simply issue a new analysis on the DR esx host and do see the data store.

    Am I missing something here? Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    "On DR NS ive done exactly the same thing with respect to FS, Lun, target iSCSI and presented to the host ESX DR, ive done a rescan and his picked up the lun 'Read Only', which is being replicated in but the tab of summary in VC, I see that the local VMFS file system and I was expecting to see the replicated LUN listed with the store local data or is this seen only". When SRM changes the properties of Lun during a failover? »

    You will not see the Site recovery volumes listed in data warehouses, unless you do one of two things - a failover in which case the production side will be unalterable and be removed from the list of data on the Production side store while exposing the VMFS data store now read-write on the side of the recovery.

    Or you use the test function in which case that encourage a wink of Celerra temporary writable and it will appear as a data store broken in the list on the side of the recovery VMFS data warehouses.

    However, it seems that you do not see this result, as DR table does not seem to be configured as it should.

    Can the side Production VC communicate with happiness with the Celerra recovery site - IE can launch you a session PUTTY from the Production side VC and connect to recovery side Celerra. Can the recovery side VC do the same thing for the Production side Celerra?

    I guess you get the unknown peer after that MRS. not the discovery of the table that owns about 23% forever and then ends. The only other thing I can think of and am not sure about this as a solution because it is a set of actions that I did of my side of recovery when Celerra is to create a small file system and in a small iSCSI LUN on the side of the recovery of the recovery side Celerra and put it in your recovery ESX cluster side - create a file system VMFS on it and place a Virtual computer in this VMFS file system - this is to check that there are no problems with the ESX host side recovery working with the recovery side Celerra

    My guess would be a thing of IP connectivity - if it's a little strange, if the link between the Production side VC and the recovery side VC has been established successfully

    I'll pass on to a colleague to VMware SRM and see if he has any ideas

  • Write problems block the memory of the host

    Hi all

    I work with a sbRIO 9639 and followed what I thought to be the recommended procedure to write in the block of memory to the host computer via (see diagram attached host and FPGA implementation). However the operation of the aforementioned code does not actually change the memory and what is available is rather just the previous values (which are persistent).

    However, I am able to write to block the memory directly from the vi FPGA (one) and get the results that I would wait if I then run the host after writing the correct values. In fact, I can now see these values from the host using the read/write Protocol.

    Does anyone have an idea on the cause of this problem? I followed the implementation to write and read from the memory in the examples, but have not found any success.

    I can't possibly comment code NIs because I don't know who wrote, why and for what purpose.

    You can write to the control whenever you want, but if you don't actually read it yet (mark) then you're never going to see the new values.

    Polling station should be avoided on the host programs, but it is not inevitable and normal on FPGA.

    Put the entire program within another loop, and then try again.

    8. click on 'Ok '.
    9. click on start--> go in run and paste the following entry: %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc
    If you * see the hosts file now, right-click on it and make sure that there is no check mark 'read only' and 'hidden' boxes... If they are verified, then remove the check.
    Note: you should not have to perform steps 1 through 8 to view the hosts file; the hosts file is visible even with these settings, the default value (for example, when files are hidden you should always see the hosts file), but you may have a spyware infection that has tried the hide and prevent changes in the host file (to prevent you from making corrections in the file which made spyware)

  • The host agent GBA support

    What version of ACS that supported for the host agent (for example IP phone, printer, etc.)?

    I have GBA v3.1, it is supported?

    Is there a solution to authenticate devices by MAC address?

    Thank you

    AW

    Configuring the host agent is supported in 4.2 and ACS version 4.0,4.1. Many guests who authenticates the ACS are running the agent software that requests access to network resources and receives approval from the ACS. However, some hosts are not the agent software running. ACS solves this problem by using the MAC address of the host device to identify and authenticate the host. This technique is called the authentication MAC (MAB) workaround.

  • Update comments before the host tools

    Hello

    Our backup software (TSM for EV) checks if the VMWare Guest tools are 'in progress', before you perform the backup of the application.

    This means that when we improve a host for the new version, the backup of the application of all the virtual machines on the host will fail, until the tools are upgraded.


    However, the cheque will go through if the comment tools version is newer than the version of the host.

    Then...

    Is it possible to orchestrate the tools update to a newer version than the tools on the host?

    (In addition to using a single host 'host jump' update for updates, and migration of virtual machines on that host one).

    Best regards

    Martin



    Is it possible to orchestrate the tools update to a newer version than the tools on the host?

    Yes, it's possible and fully supported to run versions of VMware Tools in the guests who are more recent than the ESXi host versions. For example, you can use the latest tools of U1 6.0 even on the hosts 5.x. see: product VMware interoperability matrices

    To obtain and deploy the latest tools, you have a couple of different options available; you don't need to bother with a "host of jump' or whatever it is.

    1. just update the package tools-light of your guests, for example with MUV. This beautiful thing is this can be done online and requires no maintenance mode or a reboot of the host. Make sure that no virtual machine currently has VMware Tools mounted ISOs.

    2 extract the ISOs tools the bundle version (patch) of target offline or installing ESXi ISO.

    3 download https://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/index.htmlTools packages. These correspond exactly to those of the packages included in the packages offline (patch) or installation ISOs. (Just get the .exe files big, no need to enter an ISO.)

    4 download the new standalone version 10.x of the tools of:

    https://my.VMware.com/group/VMware/details?downloadGroup=VMTOOLS1005&ProductID=491

    http://pubs.VMware.com/Release_Notes/en/VMwareTools/1005/VMware-tools-1005-release-notes.html

    Personally, I prefer not to bother with the ISOs editing or updating through the vSphere Client interfaces, but using an automated custom installation with the package of relevant tools like this:

    C:\VMware-tools-9.4.12-2627939-x86_64.exe/v number! REINSTALLMODE = vomus ADDLOCAL = DELETE all the Audio, BootCamp, FileIntrospection, Hgfs, NetworkIntrospection, Unity REBOOT = ReallySuppress

    This also some unnecessary components like unity, which are available on the position of work/Fusion/player, and eliminates a forced reboot.

  • Clean up the host fails

    Recently updated to 5.5 Update 2. Manager Update to upgrade now, when you try to patch the hosts it fails with the error:

    Fixed it by cleaning installation of Update Manager, you re-create the database with a new and then reinstalling.
