Virtual machines cannot access IP host

• Can not power on virtual machines "cannot access the file because it is locked.

  Virtual machines have been working well - then the storage system is down.  After the storage system returns upwards that I can't turn on a number of virtual machines.  Get this error when I try to turn it on:

  Cannot power on vmname on esxhostname.xxxxx.com. Unable to access file < unspecified file name > because it is locked
  error

  1. To check the locks on the Service Console on non ESXi servers, run the command:

     lsof | grep

     COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE SIZE NŒUD NOM_PERIPHERIQUE
     71fd60b6-3631 root 4r REG 0.9 10737418240 23533

     Note: If there is no Console of Service process the locking file, you should receive no printed output. If you receive results, however, file a support request to identify the process and to determine the causes.  If it is a third-party process, however, contact the appropriate provider to determine the cause before you kill the process ID, because it can happen again in the future.

     Stop the process and the lock ID using the kill command. In the example above, the process ID is 3631:

     kill the 3631

     After the termination of the process, you can try to turn on the virtual machine or access the file resource.

  2. To check if the virtual machine is always a world ID assigned, run these commands on all ESX/ESXi hosts:

     CD/tmp
     VM-support - x

     Available to debug worlds:
     WID =

     On the ESX/ESXi host where the virtual machine still works, kill the VM, which releases the lock on the file. To kill the virtual machine, run the command:

     VM-support - X

     Where the is the ID of the world of the virtual machine with the locked file.

     Note: this command takes 5-10 minutes to complete. Answer No to "can I include a screenshot of the virtual machine", and answer Yes to all subsequent questions.

     After the termination of the process, you can turn on the virtual machine or access the file resource.

  Deleting the file .lck (NFS only)

  The virtual machine files can be locked via NFS storage. You can identify this as reported by .lck files. # (where # is the ID of the world that holds the lock file) at the end of the file name. It is a NFS file lock and appears only when you use the ls command as it is the hidden file.
  Beware: they can be removed safely only if the virtual machine is not running.

  Note: VMFS volumes have no .lck files. The locking mechanism for VMFS volumes is managed within VMFS metadata on the volume.

  You must kill the process that is locked, if it is not the case, you probably need to restart the VMware host.
  I tell you from experience most likely end up rebooting it.

• nested ESXi vHost, networking, the nested virtual machines cannot access outside the world.

  
  My Datacenter configured as follows:

  my world physical host, my network is configured as a VST (virtual switch tagging).

  My Setup must in principle be correct, but it does not work.

  I am a newcomer to the world of VMWare nested.   I'm appreciated for any suggestions and help.

  The vSwitch on the physical host must be configured to allow the promiscuous mode and forged passes.

• Virtual MACHINE cannot access the vlan

  We have a vSwitch with a portgroup that services our Production network with no VLAN specific specified (0).  Gave us access to a new vlan on a physical Cisco switch level in our chassis and basic in our data center switches.

  VSwitch physical maps show the new VLAN and production networks when you look at the vSwitch properties and the port group.

  However we still cannot get out on the side of the chassis with a configured virtual computer to access the new VLAN.  Do we need to add a new port group to the vSwitch specifying the new vlan?  Any other ideas?

  I have attached a doc showing the 101 new VLAN as a network, that NETWORK cards can see.

  Thank you

  Morrisos

  This VLAN 101 are arriving in two network cards?

  If not, configure the two network cards.

  If the vlan is marked on your switch, when you create a port group, set VLAN ID 101.

• VCloud in virtual machines cannot communicate if they are in another ESX host

  Hi all

  Currently I do a simulation for VCD in my laboratory of the company. I just discovered a few question in this simulation. Hope anyone can advice on that. Thank you.

  Senario:

  1. create an external network with 400 VLANS in vsphere Distribution Switch in two ESX server.

  2. create a VCD organization.

  3 create a pool of network supported by network isolation VLAN 300

  4 create an external organization routed network connection-NAT and select Network (VLAN 400) external and network pool (VCDNI vlan 300)

  5. create two virtual machines and assign the same network of the external organization that was created in step 4.

  6. If two virtual machines on the same host, they can communication or ping to each other.

  7. If two virtual machines in different hosts, they cannot communicate.

  Why step 6 and step 7 will happen? What I have set up wrong? Please advice on this.

  Much appreciated for your help.

  Thank you.

  Concerning

  Ho

  the physical switch must be configured for vlan 400 and 300,

  vcni network tries to encapsulate the traffic on the 300 VLAN, if it is not configured on the physical switch virtual machines will be able to talk if they are on the same host.

  correct its help is not a network back pvlan Isolation needs its own vlan you set to 300, which she in turn can then run 1000 + mac in the mac encapsulated networks in vlan 300,

  Configure the ports on the switch to accept any vlan 300 institutions and it will be sweet

• To access the virtual machines of two different hosts

  Greetings,

  I have a question that I can't find the answer to. I am setting up a virtual machine environment small and need to better understand the architecture behind it.

  2 host servers

  1 iSCSI Equallogic San (target)

  I have installed 35i ESX and runnning on two physical hosts. .205 et.206

  I created a data store on my SAN to host my 'model' VM.

  De.205, I can see the data on the SAN network store and browse the virtual machine I (using VMConverter) moved there.

  De.206, I can see the data store on the SAN, but when I sail, I do not see the same information. I see no. VM.

  MY understanding is that using the SAN to store the virtual machine and that I would make the hosts of this data store to run the virtual machine. But the way in which it seems that I have the virtual machine configured on both hosts, always pointing the data store on the San but again using converter, copy de.205 vers.206.

  What don't understand me or that I don't understand.

  Your help is appreciated.

  Welcome to the VMware community forums.   If you have configured things Ok, you will be able to browse the data from these two hosts store and see the same content.  You can register the virtual computers on both hosts.  For an existing VM on the host from 1, you find the data on the host of the 2nd store, right-click on the VMX file and select Add to the inventory.  Have you thought to vcenter server?  It's going to do it is a lot easier.

• Virtual MACHINE running on two hosts after hung vmotion

  Hello

  I started a VMotion of virtual machine by host A to host B. The request got hung at 65% for several hours. I restarted the VCenter service, registered to vsphere. The process was running is longer, but now the virtual machine appears on the Host A and host B.

  The Cluster-'Virtual Machine' tab displays the virtual machine and cycles between two hosts seconds couple?

  Anyone seen this before? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance!

  First of all, it's impossible.  A virtual machine cannot be in 2 places at once.  It's just in the transition.

  Secondly, vCenter manages the process but it doesn't actually do the vMotion, ESX hosts are.

  What is happening is life of the virtual machine on the host only until the end of the evolution towards the other host (somewhere around 97%) when the transfer is confirmed with the new host.

  Best thing to do is to restart the services of management on both hosts and see if that frees the vMotion.

• New virtual machine cannot reach gateway all-in-olders Yes

  Hi, I'm using ESXi for a year with no problems, but now I'm having a very strange situation. New virtual machine cannot reach the front door, while the 'old'. New virtual machine can ping olders VM and vice versa, but new looks as private. I tried different OS and still have the same question.

  That's what I have:

  Reference DELL R610 with RAID - 1 and RAID-5

  ESXi free 348481 4.1.0

  1 card NETWORK connected

  IPs public 16

  4 VM (W 2008 32bits, W 2008R2 64, 32 2008 W, W 2008 64) works perfectly

  All VM are stored on the local Datastore2 (raid-5)

  Last week, I installed:

  1 Openfiler ESA (gateway problem)

  1 W 2008 R2 (gateway problem)

  1 W XP 32 (gateway problem)

  1 W 2008 32 (gateway problem)

  Older VM never lose connection with gateway and beyond

  New never manage to bridge

  I can't manually add gateway IP/mac address (error 5) in the new.

  Anyone can figure it out and how to solve? I'm really lost.

  Thank you

  New virtual machine can ping olders VM and vice versa...

  This excludes actually questions 'virtual '. The vSwitch has no restrictions.

  What kind of physical switch are you using? If this is a CISCO switch to ensure that the port is configured as a port of access (or trunk port) and spans tree portfast is. Some CISCO switches have a "macro"set desktop on their ports which limits the number of MAC addresses that are allowed on the port.

  PS: Please don't ask me. Did you check the address of the gateway AND subnet mask are correct for the new virtual machines?

• vCenter Server 4 as virtual machine by vSphere, ESX4 host

  Hello

  I would like to ask if anyone has tried to do.

  I create a virtual machine to run my vCenter Server 4 under a new brand, vSphere, ESX4, armed with other VM.

  My question is, can I use vCenter Server 4 and the same vSphere, ESX4 host where the vCenter Server 4 is be managed host?  Is this possible.

  I did this, but in the ESX and vcenter 4 installation guide his page 16 of the document makes it clear that: "the vCenter Server system is a physical machine or the virtual machine with access to a database taken in charge. The vCenter Server system must meet specific requirements. Also, make sure that the vSphere Client machines meet the hardware requirements. »

  Here is the link to the document: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_40_esx_vc_installation_guide.pdf

  But if you plan to do that you have to ensure three points (shown in this link: http://www.vladan.fr/three-main-reasons-to-run-virtual-center-server-as-a-virtual-machine/):

  1. Disable DRS (level of automation of change!) for your VirtualCenter VM and make sure the document where the VirtualCenter Server (my suggestion would be the first area of ESX)

  2. Enable HA for the VirtualCenter server and set the boot at high priority

  3. Make sure the VirtualCenter server gets sufficient resources by defining actions

  There is also another useful post that describes the advantages of the virtual centre running as a virtual machine:

• virtual machine cannot start, because the snapshot of the virtual machine has been deleted by mistake.

  virtual machine cannot start, because the snapshot of the virtual machine has been deleted by mistake.

  When I start this virtual machine, it prompts: unable to find the 0001.vmdk, this disc is my shot, has been deleted by mistake.

  How to restore this virtual machine.

  You need help with a revival of the 000001.vmdk deleted or do you want to repair the virtual machine so that it works without the snapshot?

  The last option, follow these steps:
  remove the virtual machine from the inventory and edit the vmx file so that it uses the basedisk. Then add the virtual machine to inventory.

• What is the interval of time between the virtual machine Linux and ESXi host synchronization?

  I have ESX5.0 with a centos6 installed on this linux virtual machine.

  After the installation of vmware for Linux virtual machine tools, I activated the time synchronization between the virtual machine linux and ESXi host through vmware-toolbox-cmd.

  I wonder what is the interval of time between the virtual machine linux and ESXi host synchronization? If I quickly time OS system, when the OS system time will sync back to the ESXi host?

  According to http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/Timekeeping-In-VirtualMachines.pdf:

  By default, the demon checks the guest only once per minute operating system clock.

  However, depending on whether the guest is behind or in front of the result is different. So, please read the section "periodic synchronization" (at least) in the document mentioned above.

• Get the list of virtual machines on an ESX host specific and dumping of .csv in a specific format

  I have problems to find a way to get a list of virtual machines on an ESX host specific and then he dumped to a .csv in the following format

  I use the get-vmhost esxhostname | Get - vm

  but everyhting else after, it is where I am lost...  I think the closest I had been posting the output with a goofy header and format 'vm1, vm2, vm3 "...

  name

  computer 1 name

  computer 2 name

  name of the machine 3

  to use for later use.  Any help would be appreciated.

  You must use the Select-Object cmdlet to specify more precisely the properties you want.

  The Export-Csv doesn't know how to manage the virtual computer object.

  Something like that

• ESX as a virtual machine on an ESX host

  Currently, I am installing ESX as a virtual machine on an ESX host. I have a couple of hosts potentially put this VM: two 4.0 in the course of execution, one running 4.1. I would like to run this VM on the host running 4.1, and the virtual machine must run 4.0. Thanks to my documentation and research of compatibility, I found that it is not supported as an operating system to run in a virtual machine under ESX ESX, but it's for the workstation and fusion. I read on some blogs that ESX install as a virtual machine on an ESX host is possible (at least on older versions), but comes with a few problems, which have no workaround. I found (external) positions regarding do all this with the 4.0, but my preference would be to do with 4.1 on the host and 4.0 on the virtual computer. I can't find something to do with 4.1, which is not surprising given that the upgrade became available less than two weeks ago. Does anyone tried it yet? Is there anything, you have found or recommend as I approach to do this? (I read that the virtual computer must be configured as a computer virtual running RHEL 5 with 2 GB of RAM http://when all this is done with version 4.0, but I was not able to find much more.) Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions!

  Hello

  Yes, I tried last week and it worked for me. You are on the right track, we must select RHEL 5 64-bit as OS and assign the 2 GB of ram, and in addition to sound, you will need to use E1000 NICs for the installation to complete.

  FYI, this configuration is not taken in charge/tested/certified by VMware.

  Hope this information helps
