• VMware View and vSphere/ESX4

  I never tested with VMware View in any installation ESX so please forgive my ignorance on the subject.

  What I've read, I know that VMware View is not currently supported under vSphere but it should be later in the year.

  My question is: is it possible to run VMware View in vSphere/ESX4 and y at - it not crash you have experienced? I have a few clients who want to start a project with the product, but I'm tired to sell it to them without knowing if it is possible to run in vSphere or not.

  As I understand it, VMware View is just a series of virtual machines (View Manager for the management) and several other virtual machines for delivery of operating system invited to end users, so I think its possible to run, just not supported.

  Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Thank you.

  Thanks for the reply.

  Exactly how desktop computers are delivered to the end user? They give you a connection with the VI Client to vCenter and displays the available machines, they control?

  Display Client, Thin Client or View Portal (browser). Basically, we use RDP as the main Protocol for now (PCoverIP is the slate and many talked of the future Protocol). In simple terms, us tie in with the AD. The user connects by using one of the methods mentioned. The broker for connections check the user/pass, see what desktop computers - if any - they have right to and presents this list to the user. The user selects and then, if the SSO is enabled, records in their office environment. They have several desktop computers and screens (up to 4) if necessary.

  When the view is supported for vSphere and released, you know / think it will be difficult to migrate from individual offices shared through the clones related, or computers is - same not possible?

  God I hope not. For now, I have no idea, but I imagine they would create some sort of upgrade. View Manager is nothing else than a web application.

  I'm sure I think other issues later, but I can review the product documentation to answer most of them. I wanted to just grab a little better quickly because I have an appointment in an hour or two with a client

  Documentation has made a huge difference and give you a better idea of how this works.

• Cluster VI3 and vSphere Cluster (migrate virtual machines)

  I have a VI3 and vSphere cluster.  Could I just drag-and - drop my virtual machines to the new Cluster or do I have to upgrade the virtual machines ' hardware of the v4 to v7?

  Thanks in advance

  1. you don't have to upgrade the virtual machine hardware, it is optional.

  2. you do not have to create new cluster, simply upgrade existing by-host. Virtual machines with hardware v4 can be VMotion'ed between 3.5 and 4.0 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

  Gerbert Coolen

  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

• Can you have v4.1 and v3.5 hosts in the same cluster?

  Can you have v4.1 and v3.5 hosts in the same cluster?  Before that I have to try, I thought I would check.  It would be only temporary until all hosts are upgraded.

  > Yes, 3.5 and 4.1 can coexist.

  But they can be managed vcenter 4.1 only, and you must leave the old license server for 3.5 hosts.

• Vcenter came to Enterprise and standard hosts?

  IM pretty sure I know the answer to this but wanted to confirm before buying.  We currently have 5 Enterprise VMware esxi 5.5 host with Vcenter.  We add 3 hosts more but don't need DRS on them, so we do not believe that we need Enterprise Edition on them.  So I would go with the Standard edition for 3 new guests.

  Im sure that I can use my Vcenter current server to manage the hosts for Enterrprise and Standard, I just can't put my Standard hosts in the same cluster as the guests of the company.

  But I want to make sure IM right about that or do need me really another Vcenter server to manage the Standard hosts?

  
  Thank you

  Yes. You can use them in a unique vcenter.

• Install the components of the network on vSphere host via API NSX virtualization

  I want to install the components of the network on vSphere host via API NSX virtualization, can anyone help me?

  Hello

  What SDK NSX are you referring?

  I can confirm, that the next REST call will work to prepare the cluster hosts.

  POSTER https://nsx-mgr-ip/api/2.0/nwfabric/configure

  field-c11

  You will receive the in the http response.

  The job status can be asked here:

  https://NSX-Mgr-IP/api/2.0/services/taskservice/job/

  field - c11-> MoRef of the cluster you want to prepare. I guess you know how to get the MoRef in a Cluster.

  Don't forget basic authentication and the Content-Type: application / xml header

  I hope this helps

• Relationship of Lab Manager and vSphere

  My shop starts to think about his Lab Manager architecture design, and we have some questions about the relationship between vSphere and Lab Manager.

  (1) can Lab Manager leverage of resources defined outside its host vSphere environment?

  (2) must LM be hosted in a specific vSphere environment to effectively exploit the scene-to-production in this environment vSphere features?  In other words, what is the impact to the staging functionality when you move a virtual machine from a workspace of LM to a VSphere environment that does not host the environment of LM?

  The reason we ask is because we already have production environment vSphere, and we plan to install vCenter Lab Manager within this environment or install LM in a separate vSphere environment.

  Thank you.

  Tim

  (1) the laboratory director can leverage resources defined outside its host vSphere environment?

  All used 'resources' must be inside a vCenter server, and all objects must be contained within a single "Data center" object in the hierarchy.

  > LM (2) done must be hosted in a specific vSphere environment to effectively exploit the scene-to-production in this environment vSphere features? In other words, what is the impact to the staging functionality when you move a virtual machine from a workspace of LM to a VSphere environment that does not host the environment of LM?

  If the vCenter for production is not the same as Lab Manager, you must export the Configuration of LM in an SMB share (requires a classic ESX host in the middle of LM), and then import it to the appropriate location.

  I did not notice problems with Lab Manager VMs-by-side with use of regular production.  Just separate the ESX hosts in a dedicated Cluster or a Pool of resources.

• race of vCenter V4 as VM - want to move that host in newly created Cluster

  Hello:

  I've got vSphere V4 and V4 vCenter.

  I built two new hosts vSphere V4.

  On one of these hosts, I created a new virtual machine that is running vCenter V4.

  I have now created a new Cluster with HA and DRS active.

  I put the first host in the Cluster without any problems (just hung out in the Cluster and the Wizard add a host popped up) - there is no VM currently associated with it.  I noticed the installation of the Agent as part of this migration - entire process only takes a minute. That the migration went well.

  Now, I want to put the second host in the Cluster. It's the vCenter running a V4. This makes me hesitate!

  My question is - once I said to the new host to the Cluster - this completes successfully or vCenter will remain as part of this approach in the Cluster? i.e. the vCenter can stay "up" and be moved to within the Cluster when the host that is running the vCenter VM on is that moved in the Cluster?

  I know I have the feature HA and DRS, once the host is located in the Cluster, but it's going to crash all well during the initial migration in the Cluster?

  I read a bunch of articles on the vCenter virtualization... and it seems rational - there are a few caveats and potential problems of course - but this one I'm trying to make is not specifically mentioned.

  Any notice or the most popular procedure.

  Thank you very much.

  My question is - once I said to the new host to the Cluster - this completes successfully or vCenter will remain as part of this approach in the Cluster?

  Go ahead. It is not necessary to stop a virtual machine to add (or remove) an ESX host to a cluster. The virtual machine will suffer.

• Equallogic and VSphere VVOL 6

  I've been hitting my head against the wall trying to get VVOL established in my test environment. The configuration is as follows, 3 guests, two with HBA iSCSI broadcoms and a software iSCSI adapter. The SAN is a mixed group, a Dell 6100 w SSD and a 4100 rotating disc. I have the Dell VSM loaded and configured, I built a container of storage on the EQL and I can configure the access rules for the hosts. I also added the EQL as a provider of VASA.

  6.0, 6.0, EQL 8.0.4, VSM 4.5.1.700 vCenter vSphere hosts

  For clarity, we will call the HBA1 and HBA2 and SOFT1 hosts

  Protocol endpoints appear in storage on all three hosts, but the only machine that can see the EP and access them is SOFT1 host. Its also the only one able to mount the VVOL. If I ride via SOFT1 and choose "mount this store of data on additional hosts" the process terminates without error, but on HBA1 and HBA2. the VVOL is accessible.

  It is one of the two hosts HBA (HBA2):

  Second, the data store is listed in alarm with this error:

  vSphere HA was unable to create a vVol for this data store configuration and therefore will not be able to protect the VMs on the data store until the problem is resolved. Error: (vim.fault.InaccessibleDatastore), Configuration issue, "10/22/15, 10:33:12 GMT,

  I'm guessing that error clears as soon as I get the vvol working on the three hosts.

  Also if I try and zero on my config to rebuild the mess THAT VSM leaves behind an access of lists I can't destroy.

  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

  As this seems to be related to two HBAs that I suggest to check that your HBA firmware version has support for secondary LUN ID as required for storage of blocks back VVols.

  To do this, go to the page-> VMware Compatibility Guide: search for i/o device

  In the guise of the selection criteria to ensure that you select "secondary MONDAY (active VVols).

  Click on the button "update and display the results.

  The results will be the devices list to i/o that are certified and support the secondary ID of the LUN. Once you have found (hopefully) your model, click the model name to see details. From the details page, you will see a lot of firmware versions in the last column, there will be an entry for additional functionality, you can expand it against a firmware version to determine whether or not a specific version supports secondary LUN ID.

• Migrate virtual machines from HP G7(single host) for HP G8 (Cluster) without shared storage

  Hello

  I have 2 esxi host (hp dl 380 G8) and put them in a cluster and other host esxi (dl 380 g7) and I have no shared storage and use local disks just now I must spend my VM G7 server a cluster of the G8 but I want to know I can join my cluster g8 g7 and migrate web vmware machines without any downtime?

  I want to know can migrate without downtime with localdisk? I have no shared storage

  Best regards

  BAbak

  can I join g7 to my cluster of the g8

  You can mix into clusters hosts all desired, even Intel and AMD at least that you enable EVC on the cluster (of course, HA or DRS require shared storage compatible/CPU). However, you need not to have even just cluster hosts to migrate virtual machines through vMotion between them.

  migrate web vmware machines without any downtime?

  Don't know what this "web vmware' but yes, because ESXi 5.1, you can use"enhanced vMotion"to live migrate virtual machines without service interruption from one host to another, even without shared storage:

  Migration with vMotion in environments without shared storage

  The usual vMotion requirements apply. Also you can only live migrate virtual machines from the old host to the new hosts because of different generations of CPU (and back as long as you don't have bike powered virtual machines on new hosts).

• Group assessment and vSphere for 60 days

  I have to add 2 ESXi 5.5U2 host to an existing cluster of vSphere5.5.

  The required licenses have been ordered, but I don't know that I will get them at the moment, I'll add the new ESXi hosts to the cluster.

  As the new ESXi hosts are still in the 60 days trial period, can I add them to the cluster and get full functionality while waiting for licenses to arrive (within 60 days)?

  Is there an issue?

  Concerning

  Marius

  Yes correct. You can use these features in the assessment. Please read blog post, what I said in my first answer.
