• Virtual machine is unable to ping host ESX

  I have a server host to ESX 3.5 Update 4 and I had a weird problem.  I searched for days and can't find an answer then perhaps someone could help me.

  My ESX host works perfectly.  I can manage it by Internet or by customer VI.  Setting up and installation of virtual computer very well market.  The problem occus with the networking of several virtual machines.  I have a group of virtual ports for the virtual machine that is connected to a virtual switch that is bound to a physical card.  The service console is also connected to a single virtual switch. The problem is that only the first virtual machine that is put on will be able to connect to the internet and other devices and computers on the network.  I have 5 different VM with different operating systems and the same network settings.  Any one that I first start will work, but only that one first.  The rest of the virtual machine can ping only this virtual machine that was started first.  They don't ping to the ESX host or anything on the network.

  The network gateway is 192.168.1.254, the ESX host is 192.168.1.110 and the VM is 192.168.1.111 - 115, the DNS is 192.168.1.50

  All virtual machines have static IP.  They each have their own respective intellectual property, the walkways are all set to 192.168.1.254 and DNS to 192.168.1.50

  Yet even as the first market works, and it works perfectly, can see everything on the network and connect to the internet.

  SuryaVMware is absolutely perfect with his suggestion. I went through the same scenario on the 3750's a few months back myself.

• Virtual MACHINE is unable to ping host and vice versa

  It is a very strange problem.  VMWare support tried to understand this output as Dell.  So, I just throw it to the community to see if anyone else has experienced this problem and may have a solution.  I have 3 identical Dell R720 servers.  2 work with no problem, but 1 (let's call it vm8) gave me problems since day 1.  Reference verified Dell equipment today and has updated me the BIOS, firmware and drivers on vm8, which did not solve the problem.  VMWare technicians checked each parameter network in recent weeks and currently, they are not the cause.

  VM8 have ESXi installed 5.5.0.  The Server 4 has 2 NICs with 4 ports each.  Current configuration is vmnic 0-3 is connected to our LAN, 4-5 on our DMZ and 6-7 in our SAN (iSCSI). The AP will go up and down because VM8 loses connectivity to our isolation address (gateway).

  VM8 (Mgmt IP network is 172.20.100.9) has only 1 VM (172.20.100.40). Same subnet (255.255.255.0).  .9 happens to ping expiration.40 using vmkping.  When I ping.9 de.40, the first package gets a quick response, then all following packets timeout.  According to VMWare, when you ping in (VM to host) it does not go out through the card physical network to the physical switch.  Everything is internal with vmnic and vSwitch.  When I ping my gateway (172.20.100.1), the ping is successful.  When I ping.9 from my workstation, the first packet times out, then answered the following packages.  It is the exact opposite of ping the virtual computer.

  Here's a better ventilation-

  .9 VM8 host

  .40 VM on the host VM8

  .1 gateway

  .122 workstation over LAN

  .25 vRanger connection (physical server on LAN)

  Ping

  .9 40 (100% packet loss)

  first package de.40 a.9 (75% packet loss) Gets the response, then 3 timeout

  .9 a.122 good ping (0 packet loss)

  .122 a.9 (0 packet loss) good ping

  vmkping (75% loss).9 a.25 does not appear each packet that it is sent.  But other results, can I assume first package times out.

  first package de.25 a.9 (75% loss) has expired, the following 3 got a response

  .40 a.122 good ping (0 packet loss)

  . 122. 40 (100% packet loss)

  The 3 can ping a.1 (every 20 minutes on VM8 I get a "vSphere HA agent on this host failed isolation address 172.20.100.1"

  Also, throughout the day, I get the message - "vSphere HA agent on this host cannot reach some of the management of the addresses of network of other hosts, and HA is perhaps not able to restart the virtual computer if a failure of the host is displayed."  I came to work in the morning, and all my VMS on VM8 migrated to my other 2 hosts.  My backups don't work on VM on VM8.  I use vRanger connection and when I ping connection vRanger VM8 (physical server), the first package expires and the following packages get a response.  Then, when connection vRanger goes to back up my VM, runs aground due to loss of original packet.

  These are things I've already tried.  I tested individually each physical NETWORK adapter.  I removed all the ports on the two NIC to try to isolate a specific port. All the 4 vmnic is active adapters in network properties NIC Teaming management and I moved each vmnic individually to unused to test each port.  I replaced the Cat6 cables.  I used different Dell switches and various ports of the switch.  I even swapped the switch ports that host another employee, exclude a switch port configuration problem. In addition, port security is disabled on the ports.  I upgraded ESXi 5.5.0 to a newer version.  There is a known issue with the tg3 driver, which I've updated to the latest version without problem.  I also used tg3 workaround by disabling NetQueue.  And we do not use of VLAN. Dell technical support says that it is not a hardware problem and thinks it's a matter of layer 2, but does not know where.  Basically, it's an internal problem (meaning strictly on VM8) with vSwitches or vmnic or it's a material gremlin in our Dell R720 box.

  The final recommendation of Dell is to blow the ESXi server and install a clean copy.  It's extremely frustrating and I'm out of ideas.

  Thanks in advance.

• 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).

• PowerCLi script to check if 2 virtual machines are on the same host

  Hello

  I'm nubby on PowerCLI and I would like to help in the construction of a script.

  The script should check if two virtual machines (named test1 and test2) are running on the same host in a vCenter and send a notification (email), if they do.

  Something similar with affinity / anti-affinite DRS rules (but not through the DRS enabled on vCenter).  My focus is on the affinity. In case this happens, I need vMotion one of them on an another ESXi host(manually or automated).

  What I have done until now is the following:

  Get - VM | Select Name, @{N = 'Cluster'; {E = {Get-Cluster - VM $_}}, '

  @{N = "ESX host"; {E = {Get-VMHost - VM $_}}, '

  @{N = 'vCenter'; E={$_. "(ExtensionData.CLient.ServiceUrl.Split('/') [2]}}, '"

  @{N = "Datastore"; {E = {Get-Datastore - VM $_}} | `

  Export-Csv - NoTypeInformation C:\Scripts\file.csv

  That becomes all the VMS and export a CSV file information:

  Name	Cluster	ESX host	vCenter	Data store
  test2	cluster_test	ESXi_test1	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1
  Test1	cluster_test	ESXi_test1	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1
  For1.local	cluster_test	ESXi_test1	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1
  VM1.local	cluster_test2	ESXi_test2	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1
  VM2.local	cluster_test3	ESXi_test3	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1
  VM31.local	cluster_test3	ESXi_test3	vCenter_test1:443	datastore1

  Thank you.

  Try like this.

  $tgtVM = "test1", "test2".

  Get-VM-name $tgtVM | Group-object - property VMHost | %{

  if($_.) County - gt 1) {}

  $vm = $_. Group | Get-Random

  $esx = $vm. VMHost

  $tgtEsx = get-Cluster - $vm VM | Get-VMHost | where {$_.} Name - not $esx. Name} | Get-Random

  Move-VM - $vm - Destination $tgtEsx VM - confirm: $false

  }

• Moving the virtual machine containing vCenter to another host ESXI

  I am currently learning/building my first setup of virtualization. I made the mistake of letting the size of the block of the data warehouses to 1 MB. Now, I need to rebuild one of my stores of data.

  I could use vcenter for all my other VMS out migrate to another server esxi. I do not know how to move the VM vCenter, because he must be stopped to be moved, but I need to use the tool of migration/converter to move, which seems quite accessible from within the virtual machine.

  Any ideas?

  Stop vcenter Server and unregister (remove the inventory) of the inventory of the ESXi host. Then use example of Veeam FastSCP to copy some files/folder of the virtual machine to the other hosts data store and register the virtual machine to the inventory of the ESXi host by right-clicking the file vmx (add to the inventory). Make sure that there are no snapshots on the server vCenter Server!

• How to create a virtual machine on a stand-alone host?

  Hello

  as you know others my son, I created a workflow to create several identical virtual machines on a cluster.

  Since we do not only have clustered hosts, but also some autonomous machines, I need to modify the workflow to be able to create virtual machines on these hosts.

  The main stage of the workflow is obviously one that creates virtual machines.

  It is derived from one of the supplied workflow within the Orchestrator library, but in the end, there is not much difference.

  The original workflow uses this method to create a virtual machine:

  task = vmFolder.createVM_Task( configSpec, vmResourcePool, vmHost );
  

  I've omitted vmHost in my workflow, because I did not want the user to select the host in the Cluster.

  So my execution of the method looks like this:

  task = vmFolder.createVM_Task( configSpec, vmCluster.resourcePool);
  

  Now, I tried to get this method to create a virtual computer on a stand-alone host, but everything I tried, he failed.

  Does anyone have a solution or a trick, what I might try to make this work?

  Thank you very much

  Andreas

  For the root folder, try this:

  var parent = vmHost.parent;
  While (!) () parent instanceof VcDatacenter)) {}
  parent = parent.parent;
  }
  var vmFolder = parent.vmFolder;

• You can force two virtual machines to run on different hosts?

  I'm looking to see if we can score two virtual machines to never run on the same host as the other. I thought I had seen this ability in later documentation but can't find it now.

  Thanks for any help!

  Hello.

  If you use the DRS, then you can use a rule of DRS 'separate virtual machines.  Go to the Cluster settings, change, then see the VMware DRS-> section to implement rules.

  Good luck!

• Locked on the XP virtual machine within the Windows 7 host

  Not running Virtual Machine XP in Windows 7 to 9 months no problem.

  Left on Virtual Machine PC open, went to lunch, when I came back the screen went black and white and did not.  I rebooted.  Win 7 is running normally, but now have the following message when I open the Virtual Machine.  (BTW: someone other than me has access to this computer)

  When I try to open a session normally I start by getting this error message:

  "The integration features have been disable" close this window and I get the following.

  This computer is in use and has been locked.  Only the Virtualxp-xxx XPMUser or an administrator can unlock this computer.

  This message is displayed in the virtual machine window, BUT!  The window is not active.  I can't read the information.

  I searched many forums and that you find exactly the same problem.

  I opened the settings of virtual window and tried everything I can think of.

  I have screenshots of the menus and things I tried, but don't know how to post them here.

  Help!  I need a very advanced Geek!

  Thanks in advance,

  Conrad

  It is a known problem with the Windows XP Virtual Machine.

  In the future if you come accorss this question here, that's what you can do.

  * Go to your folder of user account > My Virtual Machines. Click once on the XP Mode of Windows to highlight and in the menu bar, you will notice the settings option. Clicking on it will open the settings of the Virtual Machine window (Make sure VM is stopped to make changes). It should look something like this http://i884.photobucket.com/albums/ac43/shetty_akash/VirtualMachineDefaultsettings.png

  * Try to start the Virtual Machine if it invites still the user name password click on tools bar menu in Windows XP mode VM window, and then click enable integration features.

  Let me know if you face this problem again and the steps above don't solve the problem.

• vCenter Server and Manager on the same virtual machine and on the same host ESXi update that they manage

  Hi all

  I have a question to which I did not respond.

  I have an ESXi 5 on Proliant DL380 G7 server host. I want to install vCenter Server and Manager Update on one of the Server 2008 R2 VM on the same host. I know it's possible, but my question is how Update manager will provide updates to the same ESXi host it will run on? The update is applied every time host must spend in maintenance mode and power off the virtual computer running on this subject which means he'll kill VM where vCenter Server and Update Manager is running and the update will fail right?

  Is that possible at all or the VCS and UM such as a virtual computer operating point is updated to other guests if you have them or vMotion as VM to another host when you want to update the VCS and UM host is running?

  Thanks in advance.

  It will not work.  You will need at least two hosts.  This way you can vMotion the vCenter VM to another host.  From there, you can use VUM.  Otherwise, you will need to patch the host as a stand-alone host.

  See below for patching a standalone host

• Ping/connection impossible to the freshly installed ESXi 5.5

  For background, I have 6 servers connected to a NetGear GS608 switch.  Each of the 6 servers turned Fedora 14 and could ping / communicate with each other without any problems.

  On one of 6 servers, I have installed ESXi 5.5 and assigned a static IP (the same IP address that he had) and the correct subnet mask.  When I try to ping it now, without success.  Other servers can still communicate with each other, so I think that ESXi is configured incorrectly in some way.  I've never worked with ESXi before so I don't know what to start looking.  I went through the different menu options and nothing more to configure.  The different tutorials, I have watched make me think that I don't miss a decisive step.

  Any help and advice would be appreciated.
