• What is the cause of the message "Waiting for Service ' Console CVD activity

  I have two related questions.

  basis, I just started centralizing 200 computers ish, all except 2 appears fine, 2 questions, one below and another with VSS errors.  This message is just for the question "in waiting for the Service.

  1. What is the cause of the message "Waiting for Service ' Console CVD activity and is there anywhere that documents these meanings of status.
  2. No idea where I should start troubleshooting the message "Waiting for Service ' I get to the computer below.

  I have a computer with this status which comes to have installed the client and will not be to centralize.  Other computers seem to work properly (centralized).

  The computer is to ping requests, but appears as disconnected in the console.

  I deleted the CVD and restarted the centralization CVD using a different policy on a different volume without change.

• Search for service console

  Hello

  I recently installed ESX v3.5 on a server that had 4 network cards, during the installation, I just plugged the LAN cable on a random NETWORK map and the selected installation than NIC for the Service Console which was NIC3.

  After installation I discovered in the ESX he had used this NETWORK card and ip 192.168.1.19 for example management console. after boot ESX, it displays the screen saying that you connect to http:
  192.168.1.19 for the web client.

  And in the ESX I want to do, is change the Console NIC of Service ESX to another nic for example. use the vmnic0 and IP 192.168.1.20 rather than the vmnic3 and IP 192.168.1.19 his currently uses.

  So I used the "esxcfg" command to remove the vswif0 and then create a new swtich and qualify the service console IP 192.168.1.20 only there and then I run the esxcfg-vswif - l and esxcfg-vswitch - l to check and it seems to look ok.

  But then in the ESX when I press on the Atl + F1/F11 to toggle the screen ESX, it still seems to show the "connect to http:
  192.168.1.19 for web client"rather that I have configured the new IP 192.168.1.20 is possible to change this screen to display the correct information as well or have I left out something.

  I have successfully downloaded the vi client and can connect by using the IP 192.168.1.20 but the ESX still shows the old IP ' to connect to http:
  192.168.1.19 for web client"so I'm not if I missed something.

  Also when the Service Console switch configuration is really possible to use a NETWORK adapter rather than the vmnic0, because apparently there is no parameters in the command line "esxcfg?

  esxcfg-vswif - a COnsole vswif0 Service\-i x.x.x.x - x.x.x.x where x.x.x.x b n (I can't remmeber if it's the correct syntax).

  Thank you very much

  If it goes back a.19, so your hostname / IP has not been updated in all the places that I mentioned earlier.  Make sure that these files that I referenced contain the correct host name or IP address.

• Determine good network card PCI bus for Service Console?

  Are the bus PCI in hexadecimal or decimal?

  I ask because I put the Service Console on the bad NIC (0b.00.00) and I want to know which is the NIC low to move it to.

  I have the following:

  Card internal Broadcom: 03.00.00 and 05.00.00 - I want these to become vmic0 and vmnic1

  Map external Intel: 0b.00.00 and 0b.00.0 - I want these to become vmic3 and vmnic4

  Am I right that 03.00.00 is the bus PCI NIC plus small number?

  Once I know that, I'll add this 03.00.00 vmnic to the current SC vSwitch reassign SC him then remove the other vmNIC to it.

  In addition, how is it possible to re - assign vmnic numbers to different network adapters?

  Say vmnic0 is on the NIC 0b.00.00 and I really want to vmnic0 on 03.00.00, how do I do? -command and syntax?

  Thank you, Tom

  Yes, 03:00 is the smallest address PCI - 05:00's next, b 0:00: #'s next - his numbered in hexadecimal - you can reinstall ESX and select the correct network adapter or you can check out here how to renumber - http://vmware-land.com/Vmware_Tips.html#Net4

• How to access the ESX service console

  Hi all.

  I'm a TV engineer trying to solve a problem of network with our equipment. I'm not a network engineer.

  I'm trying to follow the VMWareKB: "Troubleshooting connection problems network using the Protocol ARP (Address Resolution)" I'm just trying to check the ARP table exists on our ESX Server and has some entries.

  KB said running 'arp - a' for a list of the ARP table.

  To do this, I need to open a service console. I have now read articles 3 or 4 on the use of the Service Console but I am still unable to open it to run the command. I do not understand what I am doing wrong, I am incredibly stupid or miss me something completely.

  An article said, press 'Alt F1"exactly where I am doing this? A virtual machine is connected to the ESX? An article said "to VIM summary screen' I tried logging on the virtual machine and point a web browser on the server, I get a screen of welcome of ESX with link"Connecting to Web Access", when I click on it I get"Internet Explorer Can t Open The Web page.

  I had a look at VIM, I can see the details of the Vswitch network on the configuration page, including the IP address of the console service. Can't see how to open a service console. VIM of pointing at the address for service console is unable to do anything.

  I just need to know how to open the Service console and check the tables of ARP based on the KB.

  Please dumb down of your responses to me!

  The fundamental problem is about some units of electric distribution that we use to power the equipment in the racks. They have a network connection which we track using Virtual Machines to the report of a third person of monitoring and control software. The virtual machines are running alarm software driver used to report to the third party. The virtual machine is on a blade server.

  We have a problem where a unit of the IML has been replaced but configured with incorrect default gateway address. In the hours to do so, the monitoring and control software lost connection to ILM and one by one, all units of the IML began to send the ARP requests - "who has 10.172.248.254'.

  Finally, the MDU constantly send ARP requests and the MDU have lost connectivity to the virtual computer. If we open the VM machine, follow up and a MUD, the ping command ping fails, if we put a laptop in place an ILM and ping the machine VM, the ping works fine.

  If power us off/on the ILM voltage they are good, but we are a 24/7 operation and power cycling the MDU is considered risky.

  We have had this problem before and the only solution was to rebuild the virtual machine and assign all MDU to a new network address.

  All switches ILM is connected (foundry Falstron GS) have been verified by the support of our network guys and we are told are all good. The blade server hosts about 20 VM and they work just fine from other systems SNMP traffic monitoring.

  If anyone has any ideas I'm all ears.

  Hello

  As stated, the console is the administration interface that you can use directly on the hardware. It is not a VM (as such) that connect you with the standard management GUI. You can SSH in the network or you can be "physically connected" as you say (I would use HP SIM or the ILO to connect directly to the blade). Once you have that screen upward, press 'Alt + F1' and you connect. Then you should be able to follow the KB to check the ARP table.

  See you soon,.

• Address IP of the Service console & Esx server name

  Hello

  How to get the address Ip of the service console & the name of the ESX Server in the data center based on the cluster?

  Property 'Networkinfo"of the esx server does not give advice for Service console Ip address to me.

  Thanks in advance for the answer.

  Try it like this

  foreach($cluster in Get-Cluster){

• Service Console network requirements

  Hello

  I searched the internet, forums and documents best practices vSphere but couldn't find which are the characteristics of network for the Service Console speed. My management network will be a complete isolated physical switch. I won't use it vMotione etc so it will only be used for H.A. and basic (pulsation of hypervisors, vCenter server connection) operations.

  For this, a network of 100 Mb/s should be fine. But if I want to copy a virtual machine offline data to another store, it will pass through the management network? If Yes, then I should get a 1 GB switch.

  Thank you!

  It is advisable to have gigabit ethernet adapter for service console

• separate the vlan for the service console and vkernel

  Hi all

  I need to restructure my environment uat and dev, keeping both under vcenter even. I run the machine with 4 NICs (currently using 2 each for sc + vk & vm port with eather channel gp). The reason behind this is that we have stored separately (using nfs) in uat and dev segment to be used by the servers (virtual and physical) in the respective segment. I'll take 2 clusters as uat and dev. wanted to help the same regardeing

  • wanted to know if I can get my service console and vmkernel running on VLANs separate as shown below
    • UAT cluster
      • SC - 10.10.11.x
      • VK - 10.10.12.x
    • dev cluster
      • SC - 10.10.11.x
      • VK - 10.10.50.x

  kindly let me know for further information on above, any other suggestion on above will be useful

  Yes your SC and VMkernel networks running on different VLANS will work - it is a best practice.

• Own VLAN for the Service console

  Hello

  I was reading the esx3 best practices document and saw in it that it was recommended to the Service console on its own VLAN. I was wondering why... I can see why this with vMotion, but I'm not sure for the SC.

  Thank you

  The Service Console is a VM with access to the ESX kernel. If it is compromised, the attacker a free course on your virtual machines and VMFS leading to back and potential data theft. Using a VLAN independent is a way to strengthen security for the Service Console with the isolation.

• Set up a VLAN tagging for service without interruption of network service console

  I currently have an ESX Server that has vSwitch with a single NETWORK card for the console service with no trunking VLAN.  The vmkernel is a separate vSwitch also with a single network ADAPTER with no trunking VLAN, but in one VLAN separate from the NIC service console I would like to group the virtual physical switches in a single vSwitch, trunking 2 network cards and marking management.  Is there a way to do it without causing a failure of service console; that is, a PuTTY session distance?

  Well you can work it so that the spare IP is not used for a long time.

• Change the id vlan of the Service Console and now can't connect

  Hello

  My ESX 3.5 server was with a Service Console PG and a PG VMotion on vSwitch0. There are 2 physical NIC assigned to the vSwitch, which are transmitted to the 2 physical network switches.

  Guys id assigned netoeking vlan 200 to 2 ports on the 2 natachasery physical switches is connected. In the VI client, if I change the properties of vSwitch0-> Console of Service and the value of the vlan 200, I completely lose connectivity to the host. I can't ping the IP address SC longer. I have a keyboard/screen connected to the host and when I connect to the SC, I can't ping the default gateway of the SC or whatever it is.

  I used esxcfg-vswitch to set of the SC vlan id 0 (all) and bingo!, I can speak to the host again and he can talk. The network guys arrure me, they put the vlan id = 200 on the OK physical switch ports. So what goes wrong?

  FWIW, we also have an ESX4 from same host configured the host to 3.5 and it communicates very well. It's the SC a vlan = 200 and issued for the same physical switches.

  the switch port config are not the same between the hosts of working and non-working.  See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003806 for example config

• Update of the modules for security issues ESX service console

  Today, I was asked a question on the vervsion of OpenSSH used on the service console for our environment vSphere 4.0. Apparently, there is a vulnerability in OpenSSH 5.6/7 with a certificate which has been corrected in version 5.8. My response to the security team has been we are the 4.3.p2 and as a result, this issue does not concern us. So the following questions then becomes why you are not in the latest version?

  I'm curious to know if someone has already discussed with VMware on these types of security issues where the components used by RHEL, like OpenSSH, are vulnerable. What was their response to attempts to update this kind of things? I guess some of the answers would not be supported, you'll break, if you patch it's no guarantee your fix will not get downgraded, etc..

  I'm looking for is a solid answer that explains why we do not have that kind of stuff to ESX, only when VMware provides the fix. I could contact the support, but I thought her first check and see what others have met.

  Thank you

  Hello.

  I think that all the reasons you mentioned (not supported, you're going to break, if you patch it's no guarantee your fix will not get downgraded, etc.) are pretty much true.  The ESX 4.1 Patch Management Guide stated in the FAQ section:

  When a rpm on my ESX host has an equivalent Linux, can I use the Linux RPM to upgrade my system?
  N ° VMware recommends that you update your host ESX 4.1 with RPM provided by VMware.

  An answer I could use would be to take a step back to look at the bigger picture.  Is a SSH, which should be secluded/protected to some extent in a first time, have a vulnerability more risky than having an ESX host unstable/not supported with X number of VMS running on it.

  Good luck!

• Installation Partition problem (allocated too expensive for the Service Console?)

  Installation Partition problem (allocated too expensive for the Service Console?)

  RAID1 (15K 146 GB SAS) on Dell R710 and VMFS is on table EQL.

  What I did during the ESX4.1 excavation, it's that I have used ALL the space in 146 GB (mainly for / and / var), after adding this ESX host to vCenter, VC and EQL ASM/VE started to complain about the following points:

  1 VC: health check of localstorage warning (only has 245 MB left on 146SAS localstorage)

  2 EQL ASM/VE: warning rootFolder folder (due to the above)

  I thought that he is authorized to use all the space for / (50 GB) and / var (50 GB) in my case for only 146 GB, I don't think I need to leave any space on the installation disc.

  Could someone share some lights here?

  Thank you

  As you can see SDS use all the SDC VMFS partition space.

  This create the alarm.

  The thing really confused me why I have to leave a space on the disk at all?

  Technically there is no reason to let the space... but also no reason to have a big service console

  Usually, you need 10 to 20% free space for each snapshot data store and Exchange files... but in your case, you will not have these files.

  If you have any problems, but you receive the alarm until you do not disable them on this specific data store.

  PS: I suggest you switch to ESXi, is quite simple and it doesn't have this strange vmdk for the "console".

• public network for virtual machines, private storage and the service console?

  Hello

  So far I had a pretty small facility with 2 servers with 4 physical network adapters each running ESX 3.5, a small box of EqualLogic SAN to shared storage and a few virtual machines on our network of regular reinforcement, routed, not on a private.   The network config was really simple.  I just put everything on real IP addresses on our network of building.

  Now I want to move the SAN and the traffic on a private service console network, but I don't know how to do this.

  Right now I use 2 NETWORK cards on each server:

  vmnic0 is configured on vSwitch0 and has the network of the VM on it that all my use of VMS to talk to the outside world, and it also has the Service Console that uses Virtual Center and I use ssh to it.

  vmnic1 is configured on vSwitch1 and a VMKernel Port and also a Service Console Port for iSCSI Software to talk to my SAN.  (never been clear on why both are needed to talk to the SAN, but doctors say they are)

  My plan is to set up a vSwitch2 and bind it to vmnic2 and implemented a VMKernel Port and the Service Console Port for software iSCSI on the 10.x.x.x network, set up my new (larger) SAN box on the 10.x.x.x network and simply use Storage vMotion to move virtual machines to the new storage space.  As soon as I did this, I would like to not use the Service Console on vSwitch2 and not a Console Service at all on vSwitch0.  Is it possible to delete the one on vSwitch0 and just use a new vSwitch2 for Virtual Center and ssh access?

  So my proposed configuration would be:

  vSwitch0: VM network only, used by the VM guests for oriented public access network, no construction of Network Service Console, linked to vmnic0

  vSwitch1: superfluous once I do storage vMotion of everything on my old SAN, will eventually remove and pair vmnic 1 with vmnic0, linked to vmnic1

  vSwitch2: VMKernel and Service Console on the network 10.x.x.x, used to access the new SAN, used by Virtual Center to access the ESX, used to SSH in to ESX on private network, associated vmnic2

  If it works?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  VMkernel ports cannot live on the same subnet. So if you have 3 vmkernel ports say: vMotion, iSCSI and NFS. You really need 3 subnets. 1 for each vmkernel port.

  Otherwise how does he know all send properly?
