• HDD not getting detected on the host virtual esxi nested 5.5

  Hi all

  on my home office, I installed ESXi on bare metal on USB. From a laptop computer, I was able to connect to it. I created an esxi embedded and followed

  Howto: create a nested laboratory However, it did not help.

  On the bare metal Office the esxi is able to recognize the network and it works fine.

  The nested esxi is not abkle to see the hard drive. Anu suggestions?

  Thank you

  ESXi you selected as the operating system for the nested host? What model of HARD disk controller is used for one or more hosts that are nested.

• Virtual ESXi and FreeNAS Guest OS

  Hello

  Before you start, this forum has helped me to so much nothing, now I configured the ESXi host desktop and installed the guest on a FreeNAS operating system.  It would not have been possible without this forum.  For those of you who have read my other 2 threads, I applied the advice from here and followed similarly to what has been mentioned by moussasalalahou (thanks moussasalalahou) for its test lab, with the exception of a few steps.  I also increased the spec of my machines as advised. Thanks to everyone for their advice of vauable.

  Connected Desktop 1 and 2 of the desktop computer with 8 ports Gigabit Linksys SLM2008 switch (previously Fast Ethernet from D-link)

  That's what I did with these 2 machines:

  Desktop computer 1:

  1. Only installed 2003 R2 64 bit, in the Working Group
     
  2. Installed Workstation 7.1

     2. Host 2: 2, 2 GB RAM, 3 vNIC vCPU and préalloués with 45 GB of hard drive space
        

  Office 2:

  1. Installed FreeNAS
     
  2. Configured for NFS and mapped it as Shared_LUN for the hosts 1 and 2 (install the guest operating system).
     

  VSphere to connect to vCenter serves local and successfully added host 1 and 2.  Then I installed the guest operating system, XP and Win 7, each on the hosts 1 and 2 host (on the Shared_LUN).  It works very well and even the speed is good, really good.

  And here's my concern: I'll be able to do of vMotion and FT with the above settings?  I still have to read to understand and then configure for vMotion and FT.

  I hope that I have it set for the vMotion and FT but if I'm wrong, could I please take note of what should be done.  However, I learned a lot of the configuration of the foregoing.

  Thank you all.

  You can use vMotion without problem.

  Just add a vmkernel for vMotion on each host interface.

  VMware HA has no problem, just active on the cluster.

  On FT, you can have a few limitations:

• Not available in Solaris 11.2 nested virtualization

  Hello!

  Anyone know why virtual hardware virtualization is not available for my guest 11.2 Solaris?

  I want to be able to use the kernel of Solaris zones.

  The host environment:

  SuperMicro A1SRM-2758F, 32 GB of RAM

  ESXi - 5.5 (build 2302651)

  I know that the CPU (Atom C2758) supports the VT - x and EPT which is required for 64-bit virtualization nesting

  And navigation:

  https://MyIP/mob/?MOID=HA-host & doPath = Capability

  Show me the (unsupported) feature is available:

  nestedHVSupported

  Boolean

  true

  I have created a virtual machine with vHardware vmx-10, selected "expose hardware assisted virtualization to the guest OS ' and installed Solaris 11, 2 as a guest.

  I also checked that "vhv.enable ="TRUE"' is not found in the vmx file."

  But since the kernel of Solaris box comments are not available:

  # virtinfo

  NAME CLASS

  VMware courses

  -area support

  # uname - a

  SunOS 5.11 global1 11.2 i86pc i386 i86pc

  Anyone have ideas why this is not available. Worked fine in VMware Fusion.

  Best regards

  -Morten Hermansen, Fanitas Green

  I think I found it.  11.2 Solaris dislikes apparently the model and the progression of your CPU Avoton.  If I change the model and execution of my Haswell system to match your Avoton, I lost also for areas of kernel comments in my Solaris 11.2 customers.

  Try these configuration options:

  featMask.vm.cpuid.MODEL = Val: 0x3c

  featMask.vm.cpuid.STEPPING = Val: 0 x 3

  That will give the impression that you have a processor Haswell (at least to the extent where the model and progression are concerned).

• Official support for nested virtualization VMware

  VMware officially supports virtualization nested in production with ESX 5.5 environments?

  This article implies VMware does not support, but fails to mention ESXI 5.5:

  VMware KB: Support for ESXi/ESX implementation as a nested virtualization solution

  This document is kind of contradict:

  Nested VMs running

  It is said:

  "Virtualisee HV is fully supported for hardware virtual version 9 or 10 virtual machines on the hosts that support Intel VT - x or AMD - V and EPT of IVR. To enable virtualized HV, select VM-> settings and navigate to the processor settings screen. Check the box next to 'Virtualiser Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/IVR.'

  And a fe down paragraphs:

  Thanks again nested VM experts!

  ESXi does not support on your processor hardware-assisted virtualization.  If your processor is AMD - V, there was a design flaw with the first generation of AMD - V parts that we have chosen to not to bypass.  You will not be able to run virtual machines nested on this material.

  ESXi 5.0 supports AMD - V only on later processors and family 10H.

• Virtualization and hardware Protection keys

  I have a few dongles with license keys that are supposed to be used for various applications within the virtual infrastructure.  If the goal is 100% virtualization in a multi-tenant environment, how can I move that and always allow these applications to access their dongle?  I don't want to paste material usb devices anywhere in the data center.  All the world is facing this problem?

  Hello

  Unless you have a compensation control aka physical security, such as a locked cupboard with limited access to the keys, then take the USB over IP is a security zone not reliable as such should be separated from the rest of your network. You can use VLANs, or you can use a firewall. Anyway you need a way to ensure that the only thing on the USB network devices USB from a set specific IP address, and specific to a set of devices. a mix of physical and virtual security is needed here.

• ESXi 5.5 and RAID

  Good afternoon

  I recently bought a Cooler Master case and build a virtual server. The specifications are:

  CPU: Intel Core i7 3770 K @ 3.50 GHz

  Motherboard: ASUSTeK COMPUTER Inc. P8Z77-V (LGA1155)

  Hard drives: 3 to 2

  I chose to install the latest version of ESXi (5.5). The first question I had was the NIC not recognized. I could correct this problem by injecting an e1000 driver into the ISO using ESXi-Customizer.

  The next issue, that I met him, it's the software RAID I built out of my Asus motherboard is not recognized by the installer of ESXi. In the BIOS, I have:

  Version of the BIOS 2104

  Intel virtualization technology - enabled

  SATA - RAID mode

  3.6 TB RAID5 (condition: in good HEALTH)

  I spoke with Asus this morning and told me that everything was going well at their end. However, they said that they do not specifically support VMware products. He suggested that finding an Async driver to add to ISO. I can not find it and have found conflicting reports of whether or not this configuration is still supported.

  In short, my P8Z77-V RAID array can be seen by ESXi 5.5 and if so, how?

  Thank you

  Eric

  Software RAID controllers are not supported with ESXi.  If you plan on computer using a RAID system on board, you will need to install a hardware RAID controller.  Trademarks of Adaptec or LSI would be a good starting point.

• ESXi nested 5.0 FT question-> i7-2600, not supported for FT?

  Hi guys, I had an i7-2600 on a motherboard ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen 3 as a whitebox ESXi 5.0 configuration.

  I virtualized 2 ESXi 5.0 in a cluster with a nested running Linux VM vMotion & Storage vMotion works very well.

  
  If I turn on the FT central while nested VM is running, I get this error:
  The virtual machine is running in a monitor mode that is not compatible to the fault tolerance.

  If I stop the nested VM and enable FT, I met following th:

  I'm sorry.  I would have paid special attention to your message.  FT is not actually supported in a nested environment.  Proofreading of the translation binary (replay.allowBTOnly) is not supported and is available for 32 - bit reduced nested.

• How to correctly record the ESXi 4.0 and vSphere Client for free?

  Hello everyone.

  Can someone help me with registration

  of free VMware ESXi 4.0? I am totally confused with the process I

  certainly do not understand.

  My goal is to install and use ESXi

  4.0 and manage via vSphere client with free licenses free of charge for

  more than 60 dayes. Is it possible?

  Installation of its products

  gone without problems, but failed to save. I found a few

  suggestion on other threads, but nothing helped. Give me a hand please,

  I will be grateful.

  I'll write what I did:

  1. I went to the http://www.vmware.com/products/esxi/ site.

  2. I read that I can get the free license for VMware ESXi 4 and VMware vSphere Client.

  3. Decided to download this software, registered and was redirected to
     the site where I could download iso 4 ESXi and vSphere Client .exe

  4. Installation and basic configuration of ESXi on the bare metal and vSphere Client Windows XP without problems.

  5. I am able to create virtual machines and use it - it's OK, but vSphere Client know that I have to the 60-day trial.

  6. Meanwhile I received the email with "Activate your VMware ESXi license".

  7. I have
     Click on the link in the e-mail and was redirected to the same
     the site, where I can download the software, but on the top of the web page I can
     find information and a 'ESXI licenses""this license key is valid.
     "for VMware ESXi 3.5 Update 2 and later versions. So I guess it's also valid
     for ESXI 4.0. I'm I right?

  8. I would like to record my ESXi 4 software installed and the vSphere Client. Of
     I chose the vSphere Client Menu: help - & gt; VMware on the web - & gt;
     Sign up for now. The site ask me "series/license number Activation".
     Code"so I typed the license key. Iassume that this license key should not be placed here, because the web site of replay that: "Code of Activation of series/license number has already been registered. So how do?

  As I wrote, I'm confused. How to correctly record the ESXi 4.0 and vSphere Client? What I did wrong and how to fix?

  To register the serial number in your ESX4i host

  Home-> inventory-> higher level (your ESXi host)

  Tab Configuration

  Left side - features licensed

  Edit-> Assign new key for this host-> Enter Key

  Paste your key

  Confirm all

  Your ESXi server is now fully licensed

  Note: you no longer have the basic features and all the enterprise features that came with a trial license are no longer valid

• VM Compatibility ESXi 5.1 and later bad (VM version 9) with the network

  I'm having and ESXi host with 10 VM, all connected to the same portgroup on the virtual switch. To allow THT, I created the last slots with 5.1 ESXi compatibility and later (VM version 9), where all the other machines have ESXi 4.x and later (VM 7).

  Now, I'm having the issue 2 machines with version 9 can talk to each other, and version 7 cannot talk to each other. It is not possible to make a ping to a version 7 virtual machine vm version 9 and vice versa.

  
  

  An idea, a re there known issues, something I did wrong? From what I saw that day was to be a major change in the networking between these versions.

  Any help welcomed verrrrrry!

  Thank you, Philippe

  
  

  
  

  OK, after spending a day debugging, convert machines front and rear, delete and remove the NETWORK card I was able to convince the administrator to restart the host ESX - problem solved!

• ESXi 5.1 and VMFS-3 data warehouses

  We have an existing environment to ESX 3.5 Update 5 7 host and an EMC CX3-10 x iSCSI SAN. We go to decomission 2 ESX hosts and replace them with hardware ESXi 5.1 and recent guests. We realize that we no longer able to manage these hosts ESXi from our Virtual Center 2.5 console, but these two hosts will run a minimum number of virtual machines (Exchange 2010 multirole) that don't use VMotion, DRS and HA.

  Our understanding is that ESX5.1 can see and use VMFS-3 data warehouses. Is it true that, once we plugged the new 5.1 ESXi hosts to our SAN and you can see all the existing LUN that we should be able to stop the virtual machines on two ESX 3.5 hosts and start the virtual machines on the host ESX 5.1 computers?

  Everyone has problems running ESXi 5.1 with VMFS-3 data warehouses?

  Some data warehouses VMFS-3 existing could be improved to VMFS-5 because they are only used by the virtual machines that work on 5.1 ESXi hosts. But some of the data warehouses VMFS-3 existing is not extensible because they are used by the virtual machines running on ESX 3.5 other hosts. In other words, a single virtual machine can have virtual drives running on the VMFS-3 and VMFS-5 warehouses of data at the same time?

  Thank you

  Jay

  VMFS version isn't a problem. What I am more concerned by the fact that your storage system is not supported by ESXi 5.1.
