  VMware KB: Image of ESXi Server 3.5 June 2011 Rollup CD

  I missed an update and for this reason I have to do a clean install as shown in the link above.

  My version can't do any update or update more!

  What you need to know about the key Secure Update *.

  (

  ESXi Server 3.5 June 2011 Rollup CD image (2000593)

  This Installable CD contains ESX Secure Key Update ESXe350-201012401-I-BG.

  For more information about this fix, see Critical Impact: VMware ESXi 3.5, Patch ESXe350-201012401-I-BG: apply this hotfix to continue to apply patches on the ESXi 3.5 hosts after June 2011 (1030002).

  NOTE: If you have not applied this patch by June 1, 2011, you will not be able to then apply patches. To get your updated hosts up-to-date with ESX Server 3i 3.5 version is to apply this Installable CD as new installation. You can also switch to ESXi 4.0 Update 1 Installable.

• How to locate the fiber channel SAN disks on the ESX Server

  Hi all

  Please help on this

  How to find and configure the fiber channel SAN disks on the ESX Server

  Concerning

  Vijay

  Assuming that you have configured LUNS on your storage space itself you will need to ensure that the ID in the world of fiber HBA on the host ESX (you can see them registered against fiber HBA under storage adapters, WWID) are configured on the switch of fiber access (read and write).

  In the VI Client connected to your ESX host, select the storage adapters tab and highlight the Fibre HBA. Right-click and select Rescan. If you have correctly configured the SAN and the Fibre switch, then the LUNS now appear under the fiber HBA. Go to storage and select Add storage. Follow the wizard through to add LUNS and VMFS format. Do this for each ESX host that you want to see the LUNS.

• How do you know what was the latest patch installed on VMware ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0 207095

  Hello guys,.

  I've been running an old server that was installed in a test system on workstation DELL - Optiplex GX620 (32 bit).

  During installation, I had to confirgure the file: /usr/lib/vmware/installer/Core/TargetFilter.py to change the following line:

  "interface returned. GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_IDE' as follows:

  "interface returned. GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_ISCSI' this is it worked and I used it for 3 years now. However, right now, I was hoping to be updated with the latest patches and updates and I do not know if I just ESX or ESXi, or what was my last update, and what it takes then.

  I used this command to get the following result:

  # vmware - v

  VMware ESX Server 3i 3.5.0 build-207095

  ... I think that the 3i says I have an ESXi 3.5.0 but build 207095 the buid even as ESXi 3.5.0 patch 5?

  If this is not the case, how should I do to update? What is the KB # I should download?

  I can manage using vSphere Client 5.5 and I can't SSH using PuTTY.

  Note: When I run... "# esxupdate - bundle = ESXe350-201302401-I - SG.zip updated ' of in the folder where his property in the data store, nothing happens... just a new line scrolls.

  Also...

  Based on KB http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1014508 you run ESX 3.5 Update 5.

• The "Console" tab fails on servers on a host ESX Server 3.5.0

  Hello

  On one of our server VMware ESX 3.5.0 123630 hosts, I get an error message when I try to use the "Console" tab on the servers located on the ESX Server.

  The error message "unable to connect to the host esx006.sb.local: a connection attempt fails, because the connected party did not properly after a period or the connection failed because the connected host has failed."

  This ESX Server is configured as all the other ESX servers in our environment, so I don't understand why it does not work on the ESX Server.

  I have no problems connecting to the ESX Server and I have no problems connecting to servers through the mstsc.

  I have the following VMware Infrastructure customers installed on my computer:

  -VMware Infrastructure Client 2.5

  -VMware Virtual Infrastructure Client 2.0

  -VMware vSphere Client 4.1

  To connect to the above mensioned ESX Server, I use the client "VMware Infrastructure Client, Version 2.5.0 Build 147704".

  Can you help me solve this mystery?

  Kind regards

• Adding 2nd NIC killed ESX Server

  All,

  Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Here are the environment and then my question.

  3 - DELL R510 - Dual Core Quad - Intel systems

  The area has "2" Integrated NIC

  as well as "2" QUAD Port - PCI Intel network interface cards

  NIC 0 - integrated NETWORK card is a system where installed- and it is plugged into a standard Switch CISCO GIG, the tag VLAN 108

  NIC 1 - integrated is configured for iSCSI connectivity

  LOCATION 0 - Port Quad PCI NIC

  Port # 3 is connected to a GROUP of CIRCUITS on a CISCO SWITCH with VLAN 108, 104, 107 and 110 on it

  Port # 1 is used for the 2nd iSCSI connection

  LOCATION 1 - Port Quad PCI NIC

  # 7 port is connected to a different GROUP of CIRCUITS on a CISCO SWITCH with VLAN 108, 104, 107 and 110 on it

  All three servers are installed with ESX4 update 1

  When I go into vCenter to one of the three servers and go to the primary Switch virtual networking, if I add #3 NIC or Port #7 NIC to the virtual switch (it currently integrated NIC 0 in) the system disconnects the network and to connect to vCenter losses and the entire network. If physically I reboot the ESX Server, it is NOT on the network. I have the tag VLAN in NIC0 defined 4095 to accept all the VLANS as well. (I tried with and without the tag of VLAN 4095 - same result)

  Here are my questions:

  1 - Why is - what happens? How it should be configured?

  2. is there a way to get NIC0 to return to the network without having to re - install ESX?

  I reinstalled the boxes several times now and tried many variations of combinations of nic, and they all end up with the ESX Server disconnected from the network and does not.

  Really looking for some common sense here... Please and thank you.

  Hmmmm, shooting a little in the dark, but I think your next 2 steps are:

  (1) get the SC (vswif0) MAC and check your MAC address table switch to fly throughout of ports

  (2) on the console, use esxcfg-vswitch for uplink associated with the Group of port SC the first list, and then delete the 2nd network card.  This should get your SC direct return and leave the new map available NETWORK the vswitch, simply not group ports SC.  (And you don't have to reinstall :-).)

• Specification of an ESX Server script

  Hello

  I'm looking for a script that will give an overview of the specification of an ESX Server IE model, processor, Description (x 86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 6) speed, speed etc.

  If someone has something like that would be great.

  Gracias.

  You must run the command on a PC with PowerShell and PowerCLI vSphere that is available in the downloads section here VMware - http://downloads.vmware.com/d/details/vcli40/dGViZGQlKmJqQA==

  Once you have installed both, open the vSphere PowerCLI utility and run the command.

  Before executing your command, you have to connect to your VC via vSphere PowerCLI using the command 'Connect-VIServer < your_vc_name >.

• ESX Server 3.5 - strange time problems

  Hello world

  What is the final location, installing a new server ESX will pull its time to go?  It seems complete weird for me!  I just reinstalled the server that I use for testing because the clocks on my hosts are out of sync with ESX server 3 hours.  I know this only because whenever I restarted the clocks would become out of sync even once, I would manually fix them but if I restarted, then they would be out of sync again on restart.

  So I decided to start all over again and reinstalled.  I also noticed that the time on the BIOS was out of sync by 3 hours, so I fixed that, then during the installation, I used the GUI and ensured to this that all settings are correct.  I started and submitted my top vmdk files. Add a server to the inventory and ba-boom, it's always an hour out of sync!  If I put it to an internet time server synchronization in windows, it corrects itself, but is incorrect once again after a reboot.

  If I use VMWARE tools to synchronize with the host computer then the time is an hour off the coast.

  Please keep in mind, I'm a windows guy, this great process of setting the time using putty is a little hard to swallow.  Is there not an easier way to simply see what time the host uses and correct?

  Thank you.

  First when you install it gets it from the BIOS. Then when you have done this, you will want to configure NTP on the HOST. This by going to the tab "configuration" and then "time Setup". You can use the following internet time servers (just put you company firewall or something else allowing of course) 0.pool.ntp.org 1.pool.ntp.org 2.pool.ntp.org. The implementation is very easy and it will make sense to you that you do. Also, it will make ESX for NTP firewall when you submit.

  So you want if sure is installed on your windows guests and the value of the box sync with the machine virtual host of the vm tool. Important, disable the windows time service.

  Do this and your windows host will keep time properly.

• [Issue] Is it possible to change the order of connection of the network through the powershell command or back?

  Hello my dear

  I would like to ask how to change the binding of the network through the powershell command or back order.

  I know it could be changed as below.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows/change-network-protocol-bindings-order#1TC=Windows-7

  but I want to change it via text command. Because sometimes, I change it many servers via GUI and then happened a long time depending on the amount of servers.

  If it can be modified it using the command text, or registry, it will be useful for me.

  Thank you.

  This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

• VMWare ESX Server training

  Hello experts,
  I'm new to vitrualization.
  I installed vmware workastation v 7.0 and I also have VMWare ESX Server training Trainsignal dvd for training so here are my questions:

  Can I install VMware vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 on my VMWare Workstation 7.0 for training v?

  Is - this VMWare vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 product different from VMWare ESX Server 3.5?

  I'm you ask all these questions because I want to be sure I can complete a training with VMWare vSphere Hypervisor 3.5 suite drive of my Trainsignal VMWare ESX Server 3 and because I am not allowed to download the evaluation version on VMWare ESX Server 3 and because the VMWare customer service could not answer my simple question and quoted me to the community by them to get advice.

  Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

  Hi nasolsi,

  Can I install VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5 straight on my VMWare Workstation 7 training without affecting my HDD physical whole?

  Yes, it has nothing to do with your actual score and highlights form the part of space, he took from your partition to create the disk of the virtual machine. So basically it will eat the space in the physical partition but does nothing else like the formatting of the entire disk.
  

  
  

  and the performance on my PC?

  No, this will not affect your PC's performance as the workstation will run the pages of RAM and cycles on your physical PC hardware microprocessor.

  
  

  If permitted increase RAM by a value so that you do not encounter CMTF or any other problem. 2048MB is the minimum memory required to run ESXi.
