Update for the ESX host error
Good afternoon
I've updated our ESX host using the Update Manager and ran into a problem with one of the servers. Update Manager was at a standstill when applying patches to a particular host, so I advanced and tried to manually apply patches. I get the following error:

Sorry... no other idea.
Just to be sure that try to create a file in / Boot to see if you have a few mistakes... also check if you have I/O error with dmesg command (see bottom).

Add more disk space for the ESX host
Hi all
I need to throw more disk space to my ESX hosts. I know how to bind records in Navisphere and present to the ESX host. Once in the VI client, I "think" I need to go to the host and do a rescan of the HBA or something like that? I'm a little unsure of the market of part VI to add more disk space. Could someone just point me in the right direction? Please note that I am looking to add more disks to existing hosts in existing clusters. It adds no storage to a new host... rather an existing one.
Thank you
Jonathan
You are on the right track. Re-scan storage card, under the configuration tab select storage adapters, select the adapter and click on the link of the new analysis. Then go to the storage section and there should be a link in the top right of the screen that says storage Add. Click on that and it will guide you in adding/setting in form/naming of the new disk.

Is there a correct configuration of network for the ESX host computers
Have a VC server and 2 ESX 3.5 hosts. Each host is filled with 6 cards.
Three VLANs are created:
The VM network for traffic Server
Vmotion: for Vmotion traffic
Management VLan: For traffic management
The network adapters on each host have been assigned as follows:
2 network cards - the VM network
2 NICs - Vmotion & Service Console
2 NICs - ? How can I use them for? Service console?
What I am doing wrong?
Yes, #3 is required for vmotion vmkernel type. Then that VLAN allows them to route in the end, it is not necessary for them to communicate. and Yes, SC is the management network

Here's what happens when you try to turn it on one of my virtual machines (see also accessories):
Error stack:
An error was received from the ESX host turning on VM vzilla-ws2012r2e.
Unable to start the virtual machine.
Cannot open disk ' / vmfs/volumes/51286ca4-ef967828-664d-001b2129ad71/vzilla-ws2012r2e/vzilla-ws2012r2e_3.vmdk ' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
22 (invalid argument)
Power DiskEarly module has failed.

22 (invalid argument)
This circumstance may be linked to a sata cable issue, with the possibility of temporary loss of connectivity, which could result in data loss/corruption, I realize. It is a laboratory box. Especially say that the 2 VMDK he complains (trying to light) is both on the grounds of a single physical disk. Data, read and written to the speaker, since the problem are very good (which indicates the wiring problem was resolved, and the VMFS5 file system seems to be in good health).
No photos. No related clones. Just a 2012 Windows Server based VM, with several drive letters in, with those underlying files VMDK residing on different stores of data VMFS5. Implemented end (these drives aren't really so huge), but far from running out of physical space for the data either. Everything is working great for months, until today, trying to it turns on again.
You are looking for:
"Failure error disk beginning module lit" results in this article:
error disk on start module failed
which indicates the .lck files may be present. It does not exist.
Then upwards, of a variety of other items:
but alas, none of them seem to relate directly, or exactly. My vmware.log file is attached below, as well as some screenshots of to show the structure of the unity of this virtual machine. Hoping that this post proves fruitful, if anyone has had a similar situation. The data at stake here are (mostly) redundant, but I would rather understand my way of it, in the case where it happens to me again, or can help others. Many preferred rather than give up, reformat the VMFS and start again.
Thank you!
Good news, the best result I could hope. No data is lost. No corruption of the VMFS or NTFS don't drive in the virtual machine. Nice! Saved me a few terabytes of data restoration and learned a little more on file system of troubleshooting along the way.
It took a technician of VMware Service excellent, attentive, methodical remote 2 hours in a WebEx previously to resolve problems with these 2 files vmdk manually, because he found that there is a lock on them. I opened a request of Service (SR) # with VMware by following the instructions here:
VMware KB: Cannot access certain files on a VMFS datastore
To resolve this problem, apply for support from VMware Support and note this ID (1012036) Knowledge Base article in the description of the problem. For more information on the filing of a request for support, see How to submit a support request.
I'll cover this saga and the exact process for collecting and downloading of newspapers, through to my TinkerTry.com, including the ride video. I even captured much of the technical work that has been done. That said, it is true that little of the magic that was made to resurrect the metadata will remain a mystery, given that this piece is VMware.
I'm ok with a bit of black box, considering how I'm happy that I got all my data, and time savings that the quick recovery represented.

We meet just power down and lost electricity ESX host.
When we start the ESX host, we can on each individual virtual machine.
Y at - it a setting that we can put in place for these VMs critics may start se?
Your opinion is requested.
Thanks for your advice. He agrees with your saying that the start / stop sems to be buggy.
It's only disable it every time that you enable VMware HA.
But it works (if enabled) and may be useful to define how the system starts up.

Can we use use DELL R610 / R710 for execution of the ESX host?
We will purchase a new server to run ESX 3.5 or vSphere. We have new DELL servers.
We considered R610 and R710, but we see that there are only 2 PCIe slots. As one of them be given for an image ADDITIONAL NIC card, there is only one location for HBA. It is advisable to use a Dual Channel QLogic QLE2462 HBA.
However, it seems that the Dual Channel HBA will be a single point of failure - if it is connected to 2 different switches FC. We would love to hear if anyone uses these DELL servers to run the ESX host.
Thank you
Good question, I would have preferred two HBA cards. If storage fails everything disappeared. If network failure you will not have access to the outside, but the chances of data corruption is smaller.

Reboot the ESX host as possible while on VM snapshots exist?
Can you safely do a reboot of a host ESX VM there was on this host which are off (of course), but have a snapshot exists at this time?
Because we restart some ESX host but you also have to install some Windows updates on the virtual machine on these hosts. Normally, we take a snapshot of the WM, install updates, restart, check if everything is working fine, and then remove the snapshot. But after a reboot the ESX host we also check if the VM have started and are working very well. In this case, it would cost me 2 restart and check for WM
When I could do the snapshots, installation of updates, power off the virtual machine, reboot the ESX host, turn on the virtual machine, all check and then delete the snapshots, it saves me time. Only thing I don't know and can't find is so it record to make a snapshot is by restarting the EX host and if the snapshot can be deleted after reboot normally.
Welcome to the community,
don't worry, a restart of the host is quite VMs, regardless of whether they are active or not snapshots.

I upgraded to ESXi 5.0 to 5.5 ESxi now when I ping the esx host, it fails.
I was able to ping before the update. Test management system also fails to ping the default gateway.
I sent a private message you, could answer you on this one here? Got iso's, he's now testing in my lab, but I don't have that kind of network cards, you will need to do the real test for me.

How to add a new virtual machine to the ESX host using the existing files?
I need to implement a function clone without the use of cloneVM_task. I copied (a special copy) a set existing VM Directory Active Directory to a new directory and renamed copied all files prefix name of the new direcotry. What task VM (reconfigVM_task, createVM_task or registerVM_task) command can I use to add that the new copied VM on the ESX host? I need to manually update the .vmx for new UUID file and other parameters?
Thanks for any help.
I think that as long as you have updated all the names to reflect the new clone you must be fine and on the first step, you will be prompted with a question.

People,
I searched through this forum and have not found an answer that works in many positions out there, I say to myself that I would ask him once again.
Here's the context:
We have 12 identical Dell M600 blades in 2 chassis with 16 GB of Ram, 2 x Xeon E5430, they are all connected to an Equallogic PS 5000XV iSCSI SAN on a separate iSCSI (vswitch1) with 2 cards network dedicated network and dedicated switch, console svc iscsi dedicated, dedicated VMkernel port for iscsi access. Net access (vswitch0) contains port groups VM for our various networks and a console port and vmkernel svc for VMotion with 2 separate NETWORK cards as well.
We are running ESX 3.5 U3 and VCenter 2.5 U3 on Win2k3 R2
VMotion works between all servers, Storage Vmotion works for most machines, HA works and the value 2 host failurs with no monitoring of vm, DRS is set to manual for now I have a few machines on the local stores that I complete my rebuilt LUN, there is no set of rules for DRS and VMware EVC is enabled for guests of the Intel. However, I'll just describe one machine to do svmotion below.
Here's the problem:
I'm trying to Svmotion via svmotion.pl - interactive, a Machine to Windows 2000 with a virtual disk and a virtual RDM. I am aware of the requirements for the RDM and required parameters for svmotion, independent is not selected for the RDM, and I also have svmotioned several machines linux and win2k3 with the same configuration without problem. In the interactive session, I choose to individually place the disks and I chose the virtual disk to only the virtual machine to be moved, essentially, as I saw it move vdisk virtual machine and then copy to the pointer of the RDM.
The use of the processor in this machine is about 25% average. but I try to run migrations at the time the lowest. and The Host it itself shows only about 5.5 GB of the 16 GB of RAM used. so I think we're good on the RAM. the volume/datastore that I'm migrating from has 485 GB free and the volume/datastore I migration towards a 145 GB free. the VM virtual disk is only about 33 GB.
I run the script the windows version of the RCLI svmotion. and when to begin the process, I get the following error at around 2 percent of the progress:
"Since the server has encountered an error: a general error occurred: could not wait for the data." Error bad0007. Invalid parameter. »
After searching around, I found the following hotfixes to the U2 release notes
Migrate.PageInTimeoutResetOnProgress: Set the value to 1.
Migrate.PageInProgress: The value 30, if you get an error even after the setting of the Migrate.PageInTimeoutResetOnProgress variable.
I've made these changes, and I still get the same error.
When I dig in the newspaper, I see these entries in the journal of vmkwarning:

At this point, I'm stuck... What is Windows RCLI? the vcenter Server? or the service console with not enough of RAM? We have already increased all our consoles service 512 MB...
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks in advance.
Alvin
The vmkernel on out of memory error, I had that before. And vmware support recommends setting 800M Max service console memory. And I did it and have no problems after that.
See if that helps the issue.
