• VCenter Server first to 5.5.0U3b update and later update of VMware ESXi ESX / will I have problems?

  Hello

  have trouble when I first updated my signature single vCenter Server and later update my vSphere hosts?

  A vCenter Server Version 5.5.0U3b should be able to manage vSphere Host Version 5.5.0 GA, right?

  Kind regards

  Roland

  The vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 b can manage VMware ESXi ESX release GA to 5.5 5.5 update 3 b, take a look: VMware product interoperability Matrices

  BUT, according to the interoperability matrices and vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 release notes, VMware strongly recommends you upgrade your hosts to 5.5 update 3 b, see:

  What's new

  • Update Support for the SSLv3 Protocol is disabled by default
    Note: In your vSphere environment, you must update vCenter Server vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 b before the update to 5.5 ESXi ESXi update 3 b. vCenter Server will not be able to manage 3B ESXi 5.5 update, if you update ESXi before update vCenter Server to version 5.5 update 3 b. For more information about the sequence in which vSphere environments must be updated, see KB 2057795.

  • VMware strongly recommends you update ESXi hosts to ESXi 5.5 update 3 b management of vCenter Server 5.5 updated 3B.

  VMware does not recommend the reactivation of SSLv3 because of the vulnerability of POODLE. If all you must enable SSLv3, you must activate the SSLv3 Protocol for all components. For more information, see

  KO 2139396

  • Resolved issues. This version of vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 b solves the problems that have been documented in the resolved issues section.

• Hot migration is possible with VMWare ESXi 5.1.0 without an ESX server management

  Hot migration is possible with VMWare ESXi 5.1.0 without an ESX server management?
  I wonder for a future issue, a scenario where a system administrator must build a Win2008 + DC on local storage, server
  then, once the physical box is integrated into the class network, the physical box is connected to the classified SAN storage.
  Is it possible to hot - migrate the server Win2008 + CC local storage to SAN storage at this time, with only the
  free version of VMWare ESXi 5.1.0?

  Welcome to the community - I guess that you are looking to do this, while the virtual machine is currently running - this is not possible without a management server, also called vCenetr, but all is not lost because you would be able spend the VM local storage to the San with the VM posered using the client storage management features

• R710/R720 - Dell customized Image of VMware ESXi 5.5 Update 2 - megaraid_sas version specific?

  That I improve a R710 and two v5.5 (Dell image) to v5.5 U2 ESXi ESXi R720 using the image of Dell here:

  www.dell.com/.../DriversDetails

  The documentation "Upgrade Guide to ESXi 5.5 using Dell customized Image" here:

  www.Dell.com/.../manuals

  indicates that a specific version of the megaraid_sas driver must be installed.

  Is the version megaraid_sas that installs with the image of Dell U2 v5.5 not the right version?

  I just ran the upgrade on a R710 and it's the megaraid_sas version installed:

  ~ # vmkload_mod s megaraid_sas | grep Version
  Version: Version 06.803.73.00, build: 1331820, Interface: 9.2 inspired: August 22, 2014

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It lists the R720 and R710 systems supported and both link to the same page, so the customized version is the same for both servers. Is the version listed in the reference guide for A02

  megaraid_sas - 06.803.73.00

  Page 5 ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_software/esuprt_virt_solutions/vmware-esxi-5_Reference%20Guide6_en-us.pdf

  This is the same version that he shows for your installation on the R710 so that seems correct.

• What is the VMware Tools version / build number in ESXi 4.1U2?

  Hello world

  As far as I know, the version/version number of "VMware Tools" in ESXi 4.1U1 ("4.1 Update 1") is "Version 8.3.7, build-341836" (at least for Windows virtual machines). "

  Can someone tell me if the version/version number of "VMware Tools" in 4.1U2 ("4.1 Update 2") ESXi is different? I read the "Release Notes" for vCenter Server 4.1 update ESXi 4.1 Update 2 - http://www.vmware.com/support/vsphere4/doc/vsp_esxi41_u2_rel_notes.html - and 2 - http://www.vmware.com/support/vsphere4/doc/vsp_vc41_u2_rel_notes.html - but I did find the information on this subject.

• VMware ESXi for ESX 4

  Hello

  Someone know if can I upgrade my ESX 3i (3.5.0) to VMware vSphere (ESX 4)?

  Thank you

  You can't spend of ESX ESXi... ESX to ESX and ESXi for ESXi only... At least, not as an 'upgrade '. Provided that your host is on the HCL for ESX/ESXi 4 (u1 as well), then you can install it. This will be a facility of cleaning/charges however, wiping the LUN which ESX is installed on.

  You might want to stay on ESXi however, given that ESX is pretty much going to end with the 4.x releases (at least this is what I mean)... The released product in 2011 only is not available in two flavors, just ESXi...

  The ESX CLI, consider using the device of vMA and element vSphere CLI on your vCenter Server installation. You can also install the PowerCLI element to win these CLI scripting options.

• VMware esxi 3.0 cpu limitation free version?

  Is there a number of cpu, you can use the free edition with vmware esxi 3.5?

  We're going to get a server who is 2 x processors intel quad core and I wondered it esxi will see a single processor even if there are 2.

  Thank you.

  The maximum number of processors can use the free version of ESXi is identical to purchased versions - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3i_e/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_3i_server_config.pdf which is 32 hearts

• 2808 LAG for use with VMware ESXi and Linux collage

  I posted the month last about setting up my work with groups LAG http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/network-switches/f/866/t/19537080.aspx servers (I'll effectively implementing implement this Saturday)

  I decided to buy a 2808 for my ESXi server get more aggregated connections to my staff iSCSI Linux server but now I'm worried I might have made a mistake to buy the 2808.

  After looking in the manual before I realized I could have been mistakenly assuming that the 2808 had STP and LACP, as I can't find LACP anywhere in the PDF file. I guess that the configuration of my Linux machine for 802.3ad is out (a hope to make mode 4), so now for the configuration of my house, I wonder (* 1 *) that I have to configure my VMware NIC team like and what mode of binding should I use on my Linux host? As for the section at the top (my working configuration) (* 2 *) I don't know what to do about the road other than the leave as 'route based on originating virtual port ID "? (This is how our other data centers are configured, but I'm waiting for my admin network as agglomerates ESXi hosts are configured with the channels of port on our cisco switches)

  For the House, I want to try to increase the bandwidth by using three NICs in each server, I was hoping that it works:
  VMware: Route of IP hash function?
  w/Linux: balance-alb?

  -VMware:
  Before you begin:

  • The default load balancing strategy is route based on the port virtual origin ID. If the physical switch uses the aggregation of links, route based on the IP hash load balancing should be used. For more information, see host requirements for the aggregation of links for ESX and ESXi (1001938) and the guide of VMware Virtual Networking Concepts .
  • LACP support was introduced in vSphere 5.1 on distributed vSwitches and requires additional configuration. For more information, see activation or deactivation of LACP on a group of ports Uplink using the vSphere Client Web (2034277).
  • Ensure that the Protocol of aggregation VLAN and link (if any) are correctly configured on the physical switch ports.

  -Linux:
  * Descriptions of bonding modes *.
  + Mode 0 balance-rr: Round-robin policy: transmit packets in the sequential order of the first available through the last high school. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.

  + 1 active-backup mode: Active-backup policy: only one slave in the link is active. A different slave becomes active if and only if, the active slave fails. MAC address of the binding is visible from the outside on a single port (NIC) to avoid confusion between the switch. This mode provides fault tolerance. The first option affects the behavior of this mode.

  + 2 balance-xor mode: XOR policy: transmit based [(adresse MAC XOR avec destination MAC traiterait de source) modulo County slave]. This selects the slave even for each destination MAC address. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.

  + 3 broadcast mode: broadcasting policy: transmits everything on all slave interfaces. This mode provides fault tolerance.

  + Mode 4 802.3ad: IEEE 802.3ad dynamic aggregation of links. Creates aggregation groups who share the same speed and duplex settings. Use all the slaves in the active aggregator according to the 802.3ad specification.

  -Prerequisite:
  -1.Ethtool support in the base drivers to retrieve the speed and duplex of each slave.
  -Switch 2.A which takes care of IEEE 802.3ad dynamic aggregation of links. Most of the switches will require some type of configuration to activate 802.3ad mode.

  + Mode 5 balance-tlb: Adaptive load balancing transmission: Channel link that doesn't require any special switch support. Outgoing traffic is distributed according to the intensity of the current (relative speed) on each slave. Inbound traffic is received by the current slave. If the receiving slave fails, another slave takes over the MAC address of the failed receiving slave.

  -Prerequisite:
  -1.Ethtool support in the base drivers to retrieve the speed of each slave.

  + 6 balance-alb mode: Adaptive load balancing: includes balance-tlb plus receive balancing (rlb) for IPV4 traffic and doesn't require any special switch support. Receive load balancing is achieved by ARP negotiation. Link driver intercepts the ARP replies sent by the local system on their way and replaces the hardware address of source with the unique hardware address of one of the slaves in the bond as different counterparts use different physical addresses for the server.

  The topic dell nearest you, I have found a useful was: http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/networking/f/4454/t/19415629.aspx

  my previous post was more concerned with VLAN tagging and spanning tree issues, but now I see I should have feared groups LAG it as well.

  Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance all :)

  -

  PS. http://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/shared-content/data-sheets/en/Documents/dell-powerconnect-2800-series-spec_sheet.pdf said that the 2800 series supports LACP, so if I'm worried about anything on my iSCSI side slap me please in the face, but I guess even in this case, I'm still not sure how to configure the ESXi host because it does not support LACP without vSphere and my original configuration is a free version , so I have no web vSphere management needed to make the LACP allow the change.

  Not sure if it is of no use: example configuration of EtherChannel / switches control protocol LACP (Link Aggregation) with ESXi/ESX and Cisco/HP (1004048), but that's where I was to base the choice on IP hash from.

  It must have the support of layer 3 to achieve IP hash, IP addressing is a 3-layer technology, so a 6200 series or higher or the soon to be released N3000 series.

• BB10 Simulator on Vmware ESXi

  I'm trying to get the BB10 Simulator to work on a VMWare ESXi server. Here's what I've done so far:

  1. Installed the Simulator on yhe development machine, started VMWare workstation, open the vmx file and downloaded the VM on the ESXi server.
  2. Disabled 3D acceleration on the machine virtual (on ESX) and selected 'Full touch safe mode' after starting the virtual machine.

  At this point, the virtual computer screen displays the IP 'telnet ftp ssh qconn', the axis of the device and the build number.

  The next step is to connect the Momentics IDE to this virtual machine.

  The Simulator is in need of a vmx file configuration dialog box (likely to run vmware specific commands). In the configuration of ESXi, there is no vmx file.

  If I try to connect to the virtual machine by IP address, I need a device password, I did not.

  Someone at - it suggestions on what do I do now?

  In response to my own question because I found the answer:

  Now that I have the IP address, I just follow the steps described in

  http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/native-development/BB10-native-Cascades-SDK-not-connecting-to...

  Because I had never set up a password for the Simulator, I left the empty password field.

  Copy-paste the details:

  Of your IDE

  -Right click on your project in the Project Explorer

  -Go to Blackberry tools and click on configure target...

  -Click Add new target it... button and enter the IP address of your Simulator in the host name or IP address field, enter your password if you have one then click on finish

  To run your application on the Simulator:

  -In the Project Explorer view, double click on file bar - descriptor.xml, then click on chip Debug Set button to set the author of the application information.

  -Set the configuration of the correct version for the Simulator first by right-clicking on your project and selecting Configurations of Build > Set Active > 4 Simulator-Debug.

  -In the Project Explorer view, right-click the project and select build project.

  -Right click on the project again, and then select run as > BlackBerry Application C/C++.

• LSI MegaRAID Storage Manager on VMware ESXi 4.0

  Hi guys,.

  We tried to install on VMware ESXi 4.0 MegaRAID Storage Manager (IBM x 3550 M2) and it uses Controller RAID MegaRAID SAS 8808E to monitor the hard disk status but could not be able to install and it returned the error as attaché

  We followed the procedure as shown in the following ibm Web site

• VMware ESXi 5.5 and HP ML310e gen8 v2 lose the license and the password after restart

  I've updated my HP Proliant server with the latest drivers and I have the BIOS version is here: VMware Compatibility Guide: search system

  but after I entered my license in vSphere and adding a virtual machine to the host, where I am restart I lose the license, the password to connect to the host (his game empty) and all virtual machines (I have to add them manually and fix the network, because it is also reset to the default setting).

  Any ideas why is this happing? I'm doing something wrong?

• Configuration of IPSec in VMWare ESXi can be applied to virtual machines running?

  Hello

  I have an operating system running inside VMWare ESXi 5.1.  Let's call is "MyLinux".  It is a modified version of Linux which does not support IPSec.  So I try to get VMWare to manipulate IPSec for MyLinux.

  I used esxcli orders to successfully create configurations for IPSec between VMWare itself and other systems.

  However, I wonder if I can use the same esxcli commands to configure IPSec between MyLinux and other systems?  In my tests, VMWare does not perform tunneling IPSec data between the running machines and other virtual systems.

  It is an illustration of the configuration I created for MyLinux in VMWare.  I also have a security policy that is not visible.

  Name Source address Destination address State SPI Mode Encryption Algorithm, integrity algorithm to life

  --------                              -------------------------------------      -------------------------------------  ------      -----     ---------     --------------------               -------------------           --------

  MyLinuxToExternalSA MyLINUX.IPv6.ADDRESS EXTERNAL. Mature IPv6.ADDRESS infinity 0 x 300 transport 3des-cbc hmac-sha2-256

  ExternalToMyLinuxSA EXTERNAL. IPv6.ADDRESS infinite mature MyLINUX.IPv6.ADDRESS of hmac-sha2-256 0 x 256 transport 3des-cbc

  When I captured a trace TCP ping between MyLinux and the external system, MyLinux never sent the IPSec packets. Everything was sent in the clear.  This suggests that VMWare does not apply the rule for MyLinux, but I would like to confirm.  Thank you.

  Kwabena

  When you configure IPSec on ESXi, you sécuriserez the VMkernel traffic, not the virtual machine... If you want to protect the traffic of the virtual machine, you will need to enable IPSec on guest operating system.

  Here is more information on IPSec on ESXi: VMware KB: IPv6 and IPsec configuration on vSphere ESX and ESXi 4.1, 5.x ESXi

• Is VMWare ESXi 5.5 free?

  
  I installed VMWare ESXi 5.5 and vSphere cleint test lab and what I see is a 60 day trial, how can I get a free version?

  As mentioned André you missed the stand-alone host licenses section.

  If you are too confusing, here are the steps

  To allow a standalone ESXi 5.x (vSphere Hypervisor):

  1. Connect to the ESXi host with vSphere Client.
  2. Click the Configuration tab.
  3. Click licensed features in software.
  4. Click change in the appearance under the license tab.
  5. Select assign a new license key at this host.

• Migrating from 5.0.0 free ESXi / ESX 4.1.0 a local database to bought ESXi 4.1.0 with SAN

  We currently have four host servers.  Two host servers are the free version of VMware ESXi 5.0.0 and ESX 4.1.0.  I have two hosts in a cluster, obviously with the version under license and running VMWare VCenter ESXi 4.1.0 running.

  All of these guests have all (vmdk files etc.) data stored locally on the host servers.  I'll be migrating to a new SAN and buy under license of VMware.

  I need to move the virtual hosts free version VMware servers (5.0.0 ESXi / ESX 4.1.0) to the cluster host ESXi 4.1.0 under license.  I can export the folder containing all the files and import it on the cluster license.  Once records are there, how can I activate the servers of records and pull up?

  I have to get off these hosts old existing virtual servers on the new servers which we you place your order.

  In this case I the new environment configuration and then for example use VMware Converter to migrate (V2V, with the virtual machine is turned off) the virtual machine of the former hosts in the vCenter Server environment allowing you to select the target storage.
