• Physical RDM virtual RDMs taken in charge in vSphere 6.0

  Anyone know if this process in KB 1006599 works in vSphere 6.0 +?

  VMware KB: Switching between physical and virtual compatibility modes in ESX/ESXi, a mapping of raw data

  We are about to move a bunch of RDM to VMDK, but we need to convert physical to virtual RDMs first (you can live storage migration [to VMDK] with virtual RDM but not medical examinations). The other part of the story is that we are running vSphere 5.5 and are about to upgrade to vSphere 6.0

  KB wrote on October 17, 2014 and I wonder if this is still the method support in vSphere 6.0 and that it has not been updated; or if it is no longer supported, in which case I have to do the migration before the upgrade?

  Thank you

  I see no reason why this will not work in vSphere 6, given that the procedure is simply to remove the physical RDM disks and add them again as RDM virtual disks... In my view, that the KB is just outdated.

• Physical to virtual (P v) Conversion of vCenter Server

  What are all the things I need to think about when convering vCenter server from one physical machine to a virtual machine?  For example:

  1 if the SQL database is on the same server, it can be corruputed?

  2. If I create P to V would be vm and let it sit for a day, while the physical vCenter server is in place, what is happening with Active Directory when I stop the physical and virtual vCenter server takes over?  The vCenter Server virtual would have a less recent synchronization with Active Directory than the physical server, I just stopped.  No problem?

  StageCoach says:

  No unjoining and join vCenter server to this domain questions all possible - such as the loss of permissions, etc that I need to be wary of?

  nothing whatsoever.  vCenter has all it's information stored in a database.  The reason for the possible reach of the field is just to update the AD and DNS object

• Possible to have the physical and virtual units of ESA in the same group?

  Given the scarcity of available information about virtual appliances, anyone have any ideas if it is possible to run a physical C160 and a C300V running the same version of ASyncOS in the same cluster.  I need to migrate from physical to virtual and has been evalualting the possbilty of the migration to the C300V from the C160 by adding a C300V to a cluster and then decommissioning the C160.

  Someone know about this?

  Thank you

  Nathan-

  Yes.  You can, as long as the appliance and virtual appliance running the same AsyncOS.  The "clusterconfig" command will work in the same exact way.  You need to just make sure that your C300V has the featurekeys loaded in order to run the cluster.

• Physical vs Virtual DMZ

  I implement the vCloud Suite of products in a multiclient environment and currently do not have a demilitarized zone.   In seeking to define what the DMZ network will look like, devrais I guess that I need one that is defined by a separation of physical networks such as the following:

  (Outside of the physical <>- physical <>- DMZ-<>- Firewall firewall network <>- internal network)

  Is to have a demilitarized zone in a conventional, as above, with two firewalls of both sides, always recommended?

  Can I do the same thing with POSSIBLE and when is it appropriate to set my DMZ in software vs hardware?

  Hello

  Well the following will work using only virtual Firewall:

  <->outside the physical switch <->outside Teddy <->VDS <->FW <->VDS DMZ <->FW <->Outside outside inside VDS

  Physical switch <->Teddy <------------------------>VDS DMZ DMZ DMZ

  Then attach a physical DMZ via the DMZ VDS and specific ports outside your chassis and a physical switch in the DMZ upstream.

  Or the following if you want to combine physical and virtual firewall

  Outside <->physics FW <->DMZ Phsysical Switch <->Teddy <->pvNIC <->DMZ VDS <->FW <->DMZ VDS from inside the DMZ

  If you want to use a DMZ or not depends on what you're really trying to do.

  Hello

  Hope someone can shed some light on the survey below:

  1. can you VMWare ESXI 5.5 HA and Vmotion supported with vmdk files located in front of multiple vmfs datastore 3/5? I have problems with VMotion or HA?
  
  2. can you VMWare ESXI 5.5 HA and Vmotion (not storage Vmotion) support with a VM scenario below:

  3 three nodes with iSCSI SAN storage

  VM1
  -Drive C-> vmfs Datastore1
  -Drive D-> RDM (is this support on a physical or virtual compatibility mode)
  

  VM2

  -Drive C-> vmfs Datastore 1

  -Drive D-> vmfs Datasore 2

  3. can you multiple access by 5.5 ESXi host the same data store (located on a San) vmfs using the free version of ESXi 5.5?
  Can I use this in a production environment? I have seen some companies test this on a non-production environment. Technically, it works.
  
  Thank you

  Welcome to the community-

  (1) as long as the DRS HA cluster hosts see data even warehouses there will be no problem

  (2) once more, also longer than the nose can see data warehouses including the LUNS as the RDM it home should be without issue.

  (3) Yes multiple instances of the free version of ESXi can access LUNS shared - Yes it can be used in a production environment, but remember you can not handle the free hypervisor with vCenter.

• Physical to virtual clustering on vmware

  Hi all

  We plan to convert one of our (AD) domain controller in Virtual box, then must make grouping with another physical box (DHCP).

  Can someone help me on this...

  First need to know

  1 can we do clustering on physical Virtaul-bix in a windows environment. ?

  2. Keeeping (ADC) box of vmware domain controller is recommended... a... ? If so can we Virtaul virtual or physical to virtual clustering.

  Note: The controller (ADC) of area intended only DHCP enabled no specified ROLE on this.

  Thanks in advance

  Concerning

  Konate

  What do P2V ADC?

  This is a wrong approach

  AD is a database structure that could not be stopped on a running system.

  So the only way to make a coherent P2V, it is use a cold conversion (but you need the Enterprise Converter) or try to do it in Restore Mode Active Directory.

• How to know the difference between RDM physical and virtual

  Hello!

  How can I see if a RDM (RAW device) is physical or virtual?

  I can see it in the vmx file or easily elsewhere?

  I have a few servers running both VMFS and RDM disks inside the virtual machine, and when you use ESX Ranger and make an instant backup, they are ignored to be backed up.

  Grateful for a response

  When you change the settings of the virtual machine and choose the RDM - there will be a radio button selected for the RDM mode, it is - it is really obvious. She'll be selected for the physical or virtual.

• RDM (Raw Device mapping) physical or virtual?

  Hello:

  I have VM and will add a hard drive.  RDM will be, but I was wondering what "Compatibility Mode" choose "physical or virtual?

  It's my production Oracle machine and this new drive will contains about 500 GB of DATA...

  I think it would be nice to use the 'virtual' mode, to make snapshots, but I'm worrying that, for this one big disk, it will take a lot of time and a lot of space... There are other arguments that I should consider?

  Thank you very much.

• I am often unable to enter text with the physical or virtual keyboard, making research and impossible connections in Firefox, forcing me to use Chrome. What to do

  Use Google Nexus 9 with the latest Android. Since one of the recent os updates the keyboard sometimes fails to appear when I enter a text box on a page while using Firefox. This makes research and connections-impossible. Bluetooth virtual and physical keyboards fail to register. It is intermittent. Visit the same page in Chrome has no problem, but I want to continue with Firefox. Please let know us, if I can't fix this I'll have to give up Firefox. Shame!

  Hi Rijumati,
  I understand that there are some forms on a few Web sites that does not load a keyboard to enter data in this text field. I'm happy to help you.

  For the test, can you please give an example where that happens?
  Also this happens with the default keyboard or another has been added?

• Cannot install XP updates in a new virtual machine

  I have vmware 8.0.4 on my work desktop and laptops computers, who have all two Win 7 with AVG antivirus. I installed XP Pro SP2 on both. When I try to install the updates I get these errors:

  Windows Update:

  0x8024400a

  Microsoft Update:

  0 x 80240036

  and this message:

  «The site has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to post...» »

  I have disabled everything I can disable AVG and I still get these errors. I can't understand what is blocking updates. Any advice would be appreciated!

  Is the Internet/network-connectivity based Virtual Machine?  If yes then it is not a question of VMware, it's a Windows XP update problem and you need to do as you would on a physical machine to fix this.  I download Windows XP SP3 for professionals (this is not downloaded through Windows updates) and install it and then see if Windows Update started working.  Otherwise Google the error messages and follow what already exists on the Internet.

• I can manage esxi 4.1 update 1 and esxi virtual cenetr 5 4.1 update 1?

  Hello world

  I want to know that if I have 10 physical servers that run esxi 4.1 update1 and managed with virtual Center 4.1 update 1 and I will equip 4 esxi licenses 5 and I've not modernize 10 servers now can I manage all servers (10 esxi 4.1 u1 & esxi 4 5) by u1 cenetr virtual 4.1?

  No, to manage ESXi 5.0 hosts, you must have vCenter 5.

• Update of ESX4 without virtual center or Update Manager

  Hello

  I use a 1 host configuration, where Virtual Center is installed as a virtual machine. I understand that this is not "best practice". Our host in a data center and rack space is limited for us. Anyway, how we would update ESX in this environment? Virtual Center being a virtual machine, it will have to be stopped to host clean up the updates. We cannot provide a physical box at present to perform Virtual Center. Is there therefore a non Virtual Center / Update Manager ESX update mode?

  Thanks as always...

  Unfortunately, it will not work with ESX - because updates are done differently. Each update in ESXi update the firmware to the previous version, while in ESX each patch is added to the ESX operating system.

  The download link of the last update is here - https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/OFFLINE/release-166-20091202-254879/ESX-4.0.0-update01a.zip

• Physical-TO-virtual disaster recovery

  Hi, what would you do in this scenario?

  • A heterogeneous set of physical servers (with Linux or Win) owned and operated by several customers in different locations.

  • A vSphere on a centralized site infrastructure.

  I wish I had in my infrastructure, a VM power off to each of the remote servers in physics and to keep the image of VM in phase with the remote disks.

  In the case of a remote site explodes, the corresponding virtual machines are started (automatically or manually) as a quick and effective disaster recovery solution...

  Forget the problems of network/IP of this scenario, is there a way or a 3rd party software to keep a VM'd synch with a remote server physical?

  Thank you!

  PlateSpin Protect will be repeated. You place the platespin on the physical server agent and you can replicate the server to an image file or a virtual machine. You can update the image or VM file on a regular basis. It comes from platespin powerrecon product.

  Check it out.
