  Hello

  I need it please your help to the next question.

  I want to install ESX 4.0 or 5.0 on HP DL380p Gen8 ESX, installation of ESX I received the following error message:

  32.networking - drivers failed to run script and installation cannot continue

  What can be the problem? is it the driver problem if yes how can we add the ESX driver during installation.

  your quick replay is very much appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  Default PowerShell restricted running unsigned scripts. To allow them to perform, you must set the ExecutionPolicy setting properly. Depending on your system configuration, you may need to do that with PowerCLI start with "Run as Administrator" see set signature Remote Support properties

• ESX 3.5 and vSphere Compatability

  Hi all

  I am running a small farm of ESX 3.5 with a VC servers single version 2.5.

  I am about to buy two new servers to create a x 64 virtualized environment because none of my old servers are capable of running a 64-bit o/s x and will not be appropriate to upgrade to vsphere.

  Basically, I would like to know if anyone has any input / issues running vSphere 4.0 and ESX3.5 side by side in different groups, but the two environments managed from within the same VC?

  Any help or architecture ideas would be welcome.

  Thank you

  vCenter 4.0 is capable of managing servers ESX 4 and ESX3.5 together in the same and separate clusters. There are some restrictions as ESX 3.5 is not able to run VM Harware Version 7, etc.

  Kind regards

• Difference between ESX 4.0 and vSphere 4.0

  Hi all

  Is there a difference between vSphere 4.0 and ESX 4.0.  I'm unable to find any document that clears my doubts about this.

• due to different VC Console ESX 3.0 and ESX3.5

  Hello

  all times can help me understand why esx 3.0 and 3.5 is using a different version of Virtual Center.

  For me, this is little uncomfortable because I'm managing different places, running with esx 3.0 and esx 3.5 and vice versa. Anyone know if the same console can be used for this purpose.

  I hope that page 2 will answer your question:

• Move VMS between server ESXi and vSphere ESX server

  Dear all,

  I want to move some a vSphere ESX server virtual machines to ESXi server.

  I understand that some users will use CPS to move between the ESX servers, but apparently not for moving between different products.

  I'm just using a slow and prone to error method:

  The files of the virtual machine to my deskop PC of vSphere ESX server and then upload to the ESXi server.

  I would advise you to please all of the methods that is better than this one?

  Help, please.

  Kind regards

  Tommy

  If you got a central storage you can move virtual machines between the two products with vMotion. Since you don't seem to have available vMotion, you pouvez use scp. SCP has nothing to do with ESX/ESXi products. It is a Linux/Unix program which is available in both servers.

  So with the CPS, you need a little less.

  The syntax is like:

  SCP - r/path/to/vm/directory user@esxi:/path/to/new/location

• VMotion with ESX and ESXi in the same cluster.

  My client wants to spend his whole army ESX 4.0 to ESXi 4.1 host. I know that it requires a clean install of the host. But vMotion always works in a cluster with a mix of the host ESX 4.0 and ESXi 4.1?

  You will be fine to have a mixed group of ESX and ESXi hosts.

• Move cluster configured with replication SRM and Vsphere

  All,

  We go 2 groups in the near future to achieve a geographical distance between the 2 sites.

  A cluster is equipped with VMware 5.0 replication SRM and vSphere and the other cluster running VMware 5.5 and SRM in combination with replication of vSphere.

  What is the best way to move these clusters, I must stop the replication or interrupt the replication process and are these action to perform on SRM or we need to perform any action on the virtual machine itself?

  I read that a stop is setting the State to not configured including destroy all files in the target directory.

  Does anyone have an experience by physically moving a cluster managed by SRM (and replication of vSphere)

  Any help is welcome

  Thank you

  Just pause replication before stop you the VR device on the site target/DR. stop vs break with vSphere replication - VMware vSphere Blog - Articles from VMware

• ISCSI performance with HP DL160 G6 and ESX 4.0

  I feel iSCSI performance with HP DL160 G6 and ESX 4.0 servers and would like to help with this.

  I have Setup iSCSI on 3 * ESX 4.0 host.

  Each have a corresponding single target and a single LUN on the SAN. The LUNS are formatted as fmfs3 types.

  Each host is connected to the QNAP San in the same way via a Gigabit switch.

  All NICs operate at 1 GB.

  To test the performance I use vmkfstools to clone a drive from the local store to the LUN

  On the first host (a DL140 G3) performance is good to 48 MB/s.

  On the 2 DL160 performance is very poor and barely reach 2 Mbps

  During cloning, DL160 servers save also on several occasions by the following in/var/log/wmkwarning:
  Vmkernel servername: 0:05:23:53.214 cpu2:4308) WARNING: NMP: nmp_DeviceRetryCommand: device 'naa.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx': waiting for updated status of fast path for blocked with e/s failover. No prior reservation is on the device.
  Vmkernel servername: 0:05:23:54.195 cpu3:4210) WARNING: NMP: nmp_DeviceAttemptFailover: try tipping unit "naa.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" world - order 0x4100051a20c0

  I made sure the servers are up-to-date:
  DL160 G6 Configuration:
  ESX 4.0.0 build-702116
  2 * NIC HP NC362i GB (firmware 1.7.2, driver 1.3.19.12.1)
  1 * smart Array P212 controller (firmware 5.14)

  The SAN server configuration:
  QNAP Ts-459u-rp (firmware Build 0302 T 3.6.1)

  I looked everywhere for an answer.
  I also tried the "esxcfg-advcfg - s 1/VMFS3/FailVolumeOpenIfAPD" as suggested on some positions.
  All to nothing does not.

  Any help / advice would be appreciated!

  is this software iscsi or nobody to support iscsi?

  Because all messages from vmhba0... Usually the software iscsi Setup with vmhba33 or vmhba36...

  Can you check vmhba0 keeps the volume...

• Cluster with ESX 3 and HA

  If I have a Cluster with ESX 3 and if one of them, I want to know the process of HA, on which ESX my VM would be transferred.

  We do not have DRS

  I'm looking in config HA, and I don't see the configuration option.

  Thank you

  .. My VM would be transferred on which ESX?

  On others, depending on the resources available to them.

  All I know is there nothing HA settings, where you can specify this. You could set up - which IMO would not have made much sense - the affinity of host for each virtual computer work only on two hosts. You could also spend a host as a failover host.

  I suggest that read you http://www.yellow-bricks.com/vmware-high-availability-deepdiv/ for more information on HA.

• vSphere 4 perl SDK with ESX 3.5?

  I start a project with the ESX 3.5, although we can upgrade to vsphere in a near future. Is it safe to use perl vsphere SDK with ESX 3.5 for now, or I'm better with the 1.6 VIPerl sdk until I can upgrade to vsphere 4?

  Thank you

  SDK for Perl 4.0 will work against ESX 3.5. There is a compatibility chart in the Installation Guide.

• hyperthreading (HT) in vSphere with Nehalem Xeon 5500 and their effect on the number of vCPU

  Hi guys

  The title says it all I think. HT is enabled on the new Xeon 5500, what effect does exactly in vSphere:

  (1) are there more vCPUs per socket? (E.g., 4 cores * 2 threads = 8 vCPUs presentable). or;

  (2) no County vCPU remains, with processes to become potentially more effective due to the additional thread, and;

  (3) are there applications or use cases for which hyperthreading is not recommended?

  Someone at - it with the 5500 new gear and vSphere had the chance to test HT in their lab to their workloads?

  a core or ht cpu is not called a vCPU. a vCPU is simply a virtual CPU that is part of a virtual machine configuration. Now HT would be double the amount of options the Planner must schedule vCPUs. From what I heard HT and the performance has been improved majorly with vSphere and he recommended to keep active.

  No it won't effect on licensing, it is taking physical and physical basis.

  I expect soon a few details/new performance data from VMware implementation team!

• Difference b/w ESX 3.5 and ESX 5i

  I'll upgrade vCenter 2.5 update 6 to vSphere 5 next week. Unfortunately I'm not able to update my ESX 3.5 host until a few months on the road. What are the disadvantages in leaving my hosts to 3.5?

  Thank you

  If you upgrade the server vcenter to 5 you must ensure that your esx are 3.5 U5, lower than the version of esx 3.5 u5 only is not supported with vcenter 5.

  http://partnerweb.vmware.com/comp_guide2/sim/interop_matrix.php?

  the disadvantage would be unable to use the new features of vcenter 5 and vsphere 5.

  Here are a few features you won't use.

• What is the difference between "vShpere SDK ro Perl"and "vSphere Web Services SDK (for Java or c#)"?

  Hello world! I'm new to "VMware vSphere API", and I have a question to ask you to help:

  What is the difference between "vShpere SDK ro Perl"and "vSphere Web Services SDK (for Java or c#)"?

  -What are the different programming language? Is there another difference?

  I'm looking forward to your reply.

  Thank you!

  If you are new on the VMware API/SDK, highly recommend you take a look at the following: Getting Started with vSphere SDK - Update for SDK 4.1 release

  vSphere SDK for Perl is just one of the many client SDK for vSphere API that is flush with vcenter times and ESX (i) as a standard Web service.

  vSphere SDK for Java - SDK Java to vSphere API for Java developers

  vSphere SDK for Perl - Perl SDK for vSphere API for Perl developers

  vSphere SDK for c# - c# SDK for vSphere API for c# developers

  PowerCLI - PowerShell SDK for vSphere API for developers of Powershell

  I hope that makes a bit more sense
