• Fault tolerance with an ESX host and two NFS storage pools

  Is it possible to have a fault with the tolerant pair tolerance fault running on the same ESX host, but each partner of a couple running on a separate NFS share?

  N ° you will need:

  2 ESX host

  1 x shared storage

  1 x THICKNESS VMDK provisioned.

  In your case, it's completely the opposite.

• Cannot add host to vCenter server as data store is shared with an existing host to vCenter

  Recently, I removed a physical host to a virtual appliance of vCenter Server and am not able to add it to vCenter Server because I get an error message on the existing data store.  I run a simple server vCenter environment with two physical hosts and shared storage.  I've only been administering vCenter for a few months, so I'm relatively new on the technology and processes.  I searched the Internet for a few days now, but have not found documentation everyone has the same problem I have (which I find strange considering the simplicity my problem and configuration), so I tried to get help from the community of VMware.

  I received an error message a day this vCenter Server cannot connect to either of the two hosts so I removed the host (rather than disconnect and plug as I should have done).  Now, I am not able to connect to the host to vCenter server because the shared storage data store comes into conflict with the same data store used by the host in vCenter Server.  I get the error message is ' "Datastore"datastore_name"is in conflict with a store of data that exists in the data center which has the same URL (ds: / / / vmfs/volumes/UUID /), but is supported by different physical storage." "  I try to remove the host data store, but get the following error message: "resource" data store name: datastore_name VMFS uuid: UUID' is in use. ".  The error stack said: "'HostStorageSystem.UnmountVmfsVolume' call failed for object 'storage system' on ESXi"IP address"."  Cannot unmount volume ' data store name: datastore_name VMFS uuid: 'UUID' because the file system is busy. Correct the problem and retry the operation. "I tried to delete all virtual machines of the inventory, put the hosts in maintenance mode, restart physical hosts, but none of my troubleshooting contributes.

  I don't know what steps to take to get this data store driving with the host so that I can add it in vCenter Server.  You can provide me with any help is appreciated.

  Good thing you already moved the VMs on.  For what is 'disconnect', 'remove' or 'delete' might work anyway.  You should maybe put the host in maintenance mode or even reboot the host before you can remove data warehouses.  In an extreme case, I even had to remove the host and the hypervisor installed completely rebuild on the spot.  It is not that difficult or does not take long to reinstall, so be not afraid on this subject.  A clean reinstall could still save time compared to the deletion of data warehouses.

• ESX5 with servers ESX 4 - urgent issues.

  We have 2 ESX 4 servers in a cluster, with SAN storage atatched. HP BL460 G1.

  I just deployed ESX5 to a server of g7 HP BL460.

  Quesitons:

  • Can I project data warehouses that are presented to the ESX ESX 5 4?
  • Can I add the server to the g7 to the cluster g1?
  • Can I vmotion machines in the cluster of the g1 to g7 cluster? not sure about the change in CPU?

  Thanks in advance...

  Hello

  If you want to upgrade your vCenter to 5.0 and you want the host ESX 4.0 current environment then you need yo upgrade your ESX 4.0 update 2 host.

  You can update your host ESX ESXi 4.1 4.0 or ESXi5.0.

  Kind regards

• Connection to the client with VSphere ESX host makes me download the old version of the VSphere client

  Welcome the OS Version: 5.1.0 - 2013

  Question: When I connect to my guests with the VSphere client it forces me to re-download the VSphere client. As you can see from the attached PDF there pretty much all installed versions. Yet, he's trying to go to vsphereclient.vmware.com to try to download again (which cannot because it is on a closed network). It is meaningless to me, as you can see I have all versions of the installed client. My boss who also has the same installed versions can connect. Actually, I installed 5.1 client so that should be enough. VSphere shows the host to 5.1.0 - 2013.

  Why is this not with my Vsphere client?

  Looks like your Client vSphere is version 5.1.0b (source: Match VMware vCenter 5.1 component Versions |) Virten.NET) and your ESXi host is version 5.1 Patch 4 (KB VMware: Products VMware correlating build numbers to update level )

  You need download the vSphere Client 5.1 update 2 version to directly connect to this host.

• Naming of the ESX hosts with the underscore. Best practices?

  I was curious as to what that the general eager to name the ESX hosts with underscores "_". I found an old post in 2006 related to it:

  http://communities.vmware.com/thread/64885

  In the thread, it is usually frowend against because she not compling with DNS internet naming standards. The underscore character is not recognized by the Web servers.

  He has been wondering if there would be no advantage to include similar underscore characters with no routable ip subnets, 192.168.x, 10, etc...

  If you have designed it correctly you already have your hosts on a subnet that is not routable, so you would get no real benefit.

  Beyond this thought experiment, there are problems with your esx host with ESX, vSphere, vCenter naming universe underscores?

  Just an info

  All my guests have underscore in them. I had to replace all of them with a dashboard because ESX 4.1 will not accept underscore after upgrade to the console.

• Problem with connecting to Vcenter, with vSphere ESX

  Hi, I'm going to start this discussion again.

  Initially, I set up a cluster with two ESX host and configured HA. VCenter is located on a virtual server on one of the ESX hosts.

  At this point, everything has worked, tested HA several times and worked perfectly. Two days later, I HAD to reinstall the Vcenter server. That's when it all started. I added successfully to the cluster hosts configured HA. and I tried to test HA. Restart the ESX host, vms where migrated and strted upward on the other server, BUT the server has been restarted never maid she return to Vcenter. I could connect to it via customer, but not hollow vSphere Vcenter. After much work, I tried to disable HA and reconnect the ESX. This finnaly worked. A configured HA once again on two ESX, worked. After another reboot, it's the same thing. I have tried to restart all services, seems to me that something is wrong with the HA agent. Is this a re-install of ESX servers using?

  did you check the log files within the/var/log/vmware/aam and/var/log/vmware/vpx?

• ESX host is not responding

  Hello

  now, I have a problem.

  a customer has 3 blade IBM HS23.

  because in the course of the last 7 months I had 4 times the host esx became offline / insensitive

  all the vm continue to operate therefore continues to operate production

  ESX host do not react on SSH connection or telnet

  I can connect after pressing F2 and F12, but then the host everything crashes

  I can't connect to the vi to the ESX host client either.

  all hosts are installed on the IBM's USB drive

  the only thing to solve it is to off the blades and start again

  also random sound. I had 3 months running good, good running 1 day and 3 weeks running good

  the vpxd.log file displays only the waiting times to communicate with the esx host and then the error offline

  already updated all my firmware (chasis, blades, storage, fiber brocade and IBM switches)

  I started with vsphere 5.5 u1 U1 and ESXI 5.5 IBM. already updates on vsphere 5.5 U2 and 5.5 ESXi vmware u2 (since ibm doesn't have an ESXi custom 5.5 u2)

  im stuck... lil last event is on 16/01/2015 (and ibm will not support since there only subscription for 3 years and no software support contract)

  one last point, I'm under bacup veeam and 7.x replication but don't see a problem there.

  Thanks in advance.

  I found the problem

  I've restarted only iSCSI data store and all ESXi hosts becomes sensitive

  so, after searching for the qnap forum I noticed that they have released an update on 29/01/2015

  test of the firmware now and see what happens

  If this fails, I guess the qnap ts - 469L is not taken in charge more for vsphere 5.5

  Thank you all for the suggestions

• Is it caused by an ESX host in Isolation mode?

  We check that there is a number of machines virtual runnning on an ESX host (named ESXB) are stop and start at about 06:00 this morning in another 2 ESX 3.5 Hosts (ESXA and ESXC).   With 'leave the Power On' for insulation HA response remains, however, the two virtual machines on the host ESXB.

  We wonder if the stop virtual machines and on other host ESX reboot is due to ESXB enter a Mode of insulation?  In addition, we would like to confirm that the definition of the Mode of Isolation is that the ESX host loses connection with other ESX hosts via the connection of the Service Console?

  Thank you

  That's exactly what's going - your server was isolated - isolation occurs when the service console loses connection to the address of the isolation that is usually the service console gateway address.

• How many servers ESX can I install with a view first Starter Kit Bundle

  Is there a limit to the number of servers ESX to View first beam Starter

  Can Kit be installed? We have now that only the office workload is allowed on this ESX...

  The first package is not a limit for ESX host that can be installed.

  Q: what vSphere edition pack 100 view contains? How many licenses is included?

  A: all the bundles view include vSphere 4 for desktops that has the same functionality and features

  vSphere 4 Enterprise Plus. View business start-up Kit (package of 10) includes vCenter Foundation, which

  is limited to 3 guests. The Enterprise 100 pack, pack 100 first display view includes vCenter Server

  Standard, which does not contain a host limit. vSphere for desktops is licensed by competitor

  connection. This means that you can install as many instances of vSphere needed to support the

  number of simultaneous connections for which you hold a license

• You can create a view that filters (ESX host) Linux machines on the view of the Infrastructure?

  Hello

  We have recently implemented Foglight and VMware plugin. As part of the VMware plugin, Foglight pulls in all the Linux VM machines including the ESX host. Our team of Linux only manages the running redhat Linux hosts. They fail the ESX VM guest. That said, is there a way to create a view that shows only the hosts running redhat Linux?

  For example the view of rail infrastructure below contains 88 Linux machines, but nearly half of them are ESX hosts for our Linux team would not see all these. Is it possible to filter these?

  

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Tony

  The easiest way would be to create a personalized, pair it with Infrastructure and then create a dynamic management component.  This will help create you a rule for "All hosts" where you can find just the hosts that are not of the ESX host and run Linux.

  The query would be:

  detail.topologyTypeName! = "VMWESXServer" & os.longName like «% Linux»

• Connect an ESX host 4.0 in a store of data VMFS 3.31 with vMotion, and ESX 3.5 hosts

  Hello

  I moved 2 x a new vCenter 4.0 3.5 ESX hosts.  I also have a new ESX 4.0 host.

  Can I connect this ESX host 4.0 for the data store using the 2 x ESX 3.5 hosts?  It is a VMFS 3.31 on a CX3-20 SAN data store. I was then going to vMotion virtual machines to the new host and reinstall the old.

  I just fear that the new ESX 4.0 host will do something to the data store that make it incompatible with the older ESX 3.5 servers.

  Thanks in advance,

  Euan

  Yes, you can connect and use these data with ESX versions warehouses. If you have sVMotion it will work as well. On ESX 3.5 you can only move the guest as a whole on an ESX 4.0 host, you can move the vDisks independently.

  It is perhaps unnecessary, but when I update the ESX 3.5 servers 4.0 I unplug the storage until the update is running. Just in case...

• help - vm to 100% with Betclic resources cpu, but the ESX host to 15% cpu

  Hi all

  5 * HP BL460c Blade each with two Quad Core Xeon E5450 and and 8 GB of RAM.

  ESX 3.5

  VirtualCenter 2.5.0

  DRM and active HA.

  I need assistance with resource pools. Currently I have them all together for:

  • expandable

  • unlimited

  for the CPU and memory. I tried without reserve and with reservations, and it is indifferent to the result.

  I'm running a server SQL2008 (2 * vCPU, 3.5 GB of RAM) which is pretty hard. and from time to time the cpu usage spikes to 100% (6 GHz) and saturate at this time here. When I go to the graphs of the ESX host, I see up to 3 physical processes responsible... and all the others are dormant...

  I'm working on why he no longer not affected resources of the ESX host. I thought that because of the resource sharing (unlimited), he could catch resource from the pool of resources of the parent (unlimited). And our Installer is very very little used - so much processing power/mem available spare parts.

  I have also some really stupid questions:

  • with SMP, 1 vCPU means only 1 pCPU host is used?
    I never thought that this true, but in this example, it seems that only 2 pCPUs on the host are used... maybe 3,.., it is difficult to tell from the graph

  • a virtual machine can use more resources from a host at the same time?

  with SMP, 1 vCPU means only 1 pCPU host is used?

  I never thought that this true, but in this example, it seems that only 2 pCPUs on the host are used... maybe 3,.., it is difficult to tell from the graph

  Yes, assign you a resource equivalent to a virtual machine to the host.  Therefore, if you assign 1 vCPU which is equivalent to a unique Jepp on the host computer in the slot.

  a virtual machine can use more resources from a host at the same time?

  No. a resource pool is on a cluster, but VM inside this POOL can only use a single host resources.  The case is from ESX can use DRS to load balancing force of the VM, the pool determines the overall consumption and that you assign VM accordingly.  But ESX is not yet there to physical resource take other hosts.  What ever host is on, it is that the only place these resources can be achieved.

  What process the SQL 2008 taking up the CPU process?  I think it's SQL Server, in which case it is not that you can do.  One of the reasons that I discourage using VM for SQL, SQL works not virtualized.

• WWPN or WWNN ESX host are stored as numbers long.  How can I work with these values?

  I need to update our database of the machine with the WWPN and WWNN of each ESX host.  These are stored in the form of long integers.  What is the correct way to deal with a long integer as a partner to a 64-bit mac?  Is there a mechanism within vRO for this?  If the number has been stored as a string, that I could work with her, but when I try to convert using. toString(), I find myself with an incorrect value.
