Using enhaced vMotion with ESX4.1

Hello

I was wondering if it is possible to use the new improved features vMotion (migrate virtual machines without shared storage) with just the upgrade 5.1 vCenter.

I have an environment where I have a vCenter 4.1 virtual and multiple ESX 4.1 classics that are not connected to a shared storage.

To update the environment 5.1 I need a downtime of the virtual machines since I stop them, move them to another server, reinstall the ESX and ESXi 5.1.

My question is, can I update the vCenter 5.1, the enhanced vMotion allows to move virtual machines from one ESX to another or I must have reinforced version 5.1 on the Hypersivor as well as for vMotion to work?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

Don't know if I'm clear with your query

"I didn't want to VCA feature, but the new feature of 5.1 through the VMs of unshared data warehouses and hosts without any downtime.

This feature implemented in vCenter or is it tied host? »

Rule of thumb: VC should always be equal to or greater than the version of esx/esxi

To make use of the functionality of Migration without shared storage, we have need of ESX and VC in version 5.1.

  • Proper installation and use of Vmotion with 4 NICs

    I have a new VMWare esxi to 5.1.0 two server installation.  Each server has 4 network cards.  I currently have two NICs configuration for iSCSI and installation of two NICs for network administration.  What is the best way to add vmotion in this environment?  Should I include it with iSCSI or administrative network?  The vmotion network must be on the same IP network as the adminstrative or iSCSI network or can it be it's own pattern IP?

    I have a second environment where each server has 8 cards, vmotion is on its own network with its own network card and thus the reason for my lack of knowledge.

    Thank you

    Welcome to the communities...

    My suggestion would be as below:

    What is the best way to add vmotion in this environment?  Should I include it with iSCSI or administrative network?

    Suggest to include vMotion with (administrative) network management traffic, create a second group of VMkernel ports for vMotion on the network to management switch

    For the management network-> Set as active nic1 and nic2 as standby

    For vMotion Network-> NIC2 defined as asset and NIC1 as standby

    The vmotion network must be on the same IP network as the adminstrative or iSCSI network or can it be it's own pattern IP?

    Best practice is to have a separate network for vMotion traffic

  • Is it possible to use Storage Vmotion with VMFS and RDM virtual tool?

    Hello!

    You can use the tool Storage Vmotion to move a server that is running both VMFS disks and RDM virtual drives inside?

    Both SAN is EMC and Vmware ESX and Virtual Center can be reached.

    Thank you!

    For storage on the SAN again the two hosts will need access to the storage. You can then you copuld cold migrate the virtual computer. First, you will need to stop the virtual machine and delete the mapping of RDM. Once the virtual machine is the new data store re-create the mapping of RDM (Bothe hosts will need to access the LUN backend).

  • Live VMotion with vGPU

    Is a feasible direct VMotion with Horizon 6.1 and 6.0 vSphere assuming that both hosts have the same graphics card?

    It depends on using vSGA Yes, you can, but if you choose the vDGA option, unless I missed something, you can't, take a look here: https://www.vmguru.com/2014/03/vmware-horizon-view-graphics-vsga-vs-vdga/

    And view 6.1 documentation: 3D Rendering for desktop configuration

    Because vDGA and NVIDIA GRID vGPU use pass through PCI on the ESXi host, VMotion directly is not supported. vSGA and 3D app supports direct VMotion.

  • Storage vmotion with several virtual disks

    I have a couple of virtual machines with virtual disks on them.  I have a need to pass one of the virtual disks in a different lun while leaving others in the current location.  I would like to move this disk without impact on our users, which means that I like to keep the operational machine.  I did several Vmotions storage with great success.  I want to know is if there is a way to use Storage Vmotion and tell him to move only a single virtual disk on a multi VM disk.

    Does anyone know if there is a way to do this?

    Thank you!

    Download and install the RCLI.

    Run the sVMotion intereactive mode.  This will guide you through the process with the ability to move the individual disks.

    command line must start with

    SVMotion - interactive

  • I use an iMac with a wrong as a monitor graphics card?

    The graphics card on my iMac went wrong.  The logic board is OK and works otherwise OK.  Can I use the iMac with the graphics card bad as a second monitor in target disk Mode or use it as a monitor for a mac mini? The bad iMac is a model 2011 (of course!) with HDMI ports and Thunderbolt.

    I think you mean that the Display Mode target and any connection to the screen will have to pass by the graphics card. Whereas if you replace the bad graphics card, don't.

  • Using Migration Assistant with no display

    I got my MacBook mid-2010 (2.4 GHz, 4 GB RAM, OS X El Capitan) for 2 years.

    It splits into two somewhere within 2 years.

    The MacBook was still usable, but it had to be on a desk. The screen was completely separate from the base. It still worked.

    I woke up a few days ago to find that someone had cut the display cable holding the MacBook set and turn on the screen.

    I bought an early-2011 13 "MacBook Pro to replace the dead MacBook. (Yes, I buy old Mac because the news is so expensive).

    Old Mac has been saved semi regularly, so I have an old backup to use for the new Mac. The problem is that just before the death of the former Mac, I downloaded a bunch of stuff that has not been saved. I really want the files that have not been backed up on my new MBP.

    Can I use Migration Wizard with an Ethernet cable and transfer of data from one, or Migration Assistant must be running on old Mac as well?

    I tried to connect (I'm sure that the computer is still running, it doesn't simply have a display) on the old Mac, plug the backup drive and I hope to do a backup hourly, but Time Machine did not only.

    Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

    If you use Ethernet or a wireless network to transfer data, Yes. If you can not download the files and file-sharing has not been activated on the old Mac, you must either get fixed display or put its internal drive in a closed Chamber.

    They are not search engines. They are called browsers, and Yes you can use Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer on the same computer at the same time. You can also add Google Chrome and a few others without causing problems for your computer.

    Most people are after the use of these alternative browsers, that they no longer wish to continue using Internet Explorer.

    Hello, by default the firefox session restore feature only allows you to save last 3 windows open. to change this, type on: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo. Double-click it and change its value to 4 (or more).
