• To vCSA new host?

  Hello

  I have a cluster three host being managed by vCSA device that runs on one of the hosts.  What is the best method to move the vCSA to a new host?  Pouvez vmotion vCSA itself?  Or should I remove the inventory and then add to the new host?

  Please inform, I'm at a stop in production until I got this figuratively.

  Thank you!

  VMotion just to the new host - new host must be in the cluster with the same CPU family as other great hosts

• VM shows physical mode as unreadable RDMs after DRS put VM on new host

  Need help with a problem:

  a virtual machine with pRDMs which is part of a VCS configuration has been closed, host migrated manually again, then power on, DRS he moved to yet another host.   and for some reason, the RDM are now unreadable

  Does anyone have an idea why this happened and how to fix this?

  Notes - for this virtual machine DRS has been on 'manual', while the clusters more DRS setting is fully automatic.     Because it is set to manual, I wasn't the one that vaulted to the top of the virtual machine, but I guess the user who did it was invited to place the virtual computer somewhere and he chose to place it on a new host then that it had migrated to.

  Made this recommendation of the DRS and move them to the new host clustered VM ability to see the pRDMs?

  In the guest OS I run diskpart and the disks are online, but appear as unreadable.

  Thanks for advice on this one to help us understand the behaviour here, and what could have caused this.

  I am perfectly aware that the VNMware cannot vmotion VMs with shared during an attempt of vmotion SCSI controllers.  But it's not clear to me that the process is under the covers when DRS wants to move a virtual machine somewhere in the power.

  DRS uses vmotion to move VMS between hosts and it should has failed, if they are configured for shared scsi - I do the bet when the virtual machine has been powered and he was placed on the host wroong who has no access to the RDM - powering the virtual computer if you start on the correct host do you have access ot the RDM?

• Migration of servers to new host and SAN

  Hello

  Current configuration:

  2 x ESXi servers, local storage, share nothing.  License of VMWare Essentials

  New configuration:

  3 x SAN Eqllogic, ESXi servers. Essential Plus VMWare license

  I would like to make the transition to the new configuration with minimal downtime, we have invited a few large (> 1 TB) on one of the servers and I don't want them to be disconnected for more than a few minutes, then a migration cold is out of the question.

  I had a thought that I could put the license key more on the old servers and 1 new servers, set the new SAN on the old servers, use VMWare replication to replicate virtual machines among the old servers to the new server/storage, and then perform a recovery.

  I would then remove this old Vsphere server, add a new server and transfer the license, then perform the same task on the old server to 2nd.

  Once it is finished I remove the old server 2, add the new 3rd server, and move the license.

  Can someone tell me if this is possible, or suggest alternatives?

  Thank you

  Dean.

  Hi Dean,

  Replication (replication vSphere) VMware will be requires downtime when you are recovering from the old host to new host.

  How much time can you afford for downtime?

  The recovery process will turn off the source/protected VM on the current host (VM function how long it would normally take to perform a shutdown comments) and destination/recovery VM will be powered on to a new host (again, depends on VM normally, how long it would take for the operating system and services until then a normal diet on the process).

  vSphere replication requires vSphere Web Client and other requirements, as described here: 5.5 - replication requirements vSphere vSphere Documentation Centre

  You have a vCenter Server?
  What version of ESXi (and vCenter) do you use?

  If you don't have a vCenter Server yet, I suggest you install a vCenter server and add all the current 2 ESXi hosts + 1 new ESXi host.

  From there, you'll have an ESXi 3 host, then you can migrate current ESXi host for new.

  If you are using vSphere 5.1 + you can vMotion, even if the host do not have access to the same storage see this: library of vSphere 5.5 - Migration with vMotion in environments without storage shared

  Its quite simple, if you are using vSphere 5.1 +.

  -Make sure you have vcenter Server 5.1 + with vSphere Web Client

  -Add current hosts + 1 new hosts

  -Make sure the vMotion without requirement for shared storage are filled with VSphere 5.5 Documentation Center - requirements and restrictions for vMotion without Shared Storage

  -Perform vMotion without process Shared Storage of current host to the new host + local storage to SAN EqualLogic - you can start with small VM and VM less critical first if you are not sure.

  -Once all virtual machines have been migrated to the new host + EqualLogic SAN, you can do a maintenance on the current host mode, and then delete the vCenter Server (vSphere licenses will be retrieved)

  -Add the 2 remaining new hosts.

  If you are using vSphere 5.1 prior, you must present the SAN EqualLogic again 1 new host and current 2 hosts.

  Once current hosts can see the EqualLogic SAN, make a Storage vMotion (live migration records) local storage to the EqualLogic.

  For first migration vSphere 5.1, there are 2 ways that I can think of:

  1. with vMotion - without interruption

  There are certain requirements of configuration for vMotion work: Documentation Centre of vSphere 5.5 - Migration with vMotion

  Make sure your classes and new hosts are run in the same processor / EVC mode or matrix, you can check it out here: http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?deviceCategory=cpu

  If they are on different EVC Mode, you can turn on the CEV on new hosts.

  The steps are:

  S ' ensure that virtual machines are in EqualLogic (you can use Storage vMotion)

  -Perform a vMotion from the current host to new host.

  -Once all virtual machines have been migrated, you can safely do a maintenance on the current host mode and remove the vCenter Server

  -Add the remaining 2 new hosts the vCenter.

  2. without vMotion - requires the interruptions of service commissioning

  It's cold migration but without migration of storage, must be less compared to downtime directly cold immigration to localdisk of shared storage.

  The steps are:

  S ' ensure that virtual machines are in EqualLogic (you can use Storage vMotion)

  -Turn off the virtual machines in the current hosts and migrate (cold) of the host-to-host former New (you can also drag the virtual computer and drop it to the new host).

  -Once all virtual machines have been migrated, you can safely do a maintenance on the current host mode and remove the vCenter Server

  -Add the remaining 2 new hosts the vCenter.

• Replacement of host existing with the new host/material

  We are trying to replace our old 5.0 ESXi hosts that cannot be upgraded to ESXi 5.1 with new hardware that will support ESXi 5.1 and beyond.  Existing hosts are members of a cluster of vCenter vCenter has been updated to the latest version  We are preinstalled ESXi 5.1 on new hosts and tried to set them up according to the configurations of existing hosts, except for host names and network IPs management.

  First of all, are we on track to replace existing hosts?

  Second, what are the next steps we would take?

  We have read the various messages that seem to follow the steps below, but want to ensure that our incense are applied correctly, we don't miss any major or minor measures, for iSCSI, reusing names existing ESXi hosts and IPs or something else causing the replacement to fail.

  1. the vMotion VMs to host existing to another host

  2. remove the existing host to vCenter

  3. stop the existing host

  4. turn on the new host

  5. Add the new host to vCenter cluster

  6. apply the configuration changes

  7. the vMotion VMs to new host

  8. follow the same steps in the next new host

  We lose all the steps?

• VCenter upgrade 2.5 - 4.1 and move to the new host

  Hi all. Sorry for my ignorance but I'm completely new to vmware. I picked up a client who curently ESX 3.5 and Vcenter 2.5 running on Server 2003. I want to move it to a new host of 2008 and updated server to Vcenter 4.1. I've read some suggestions that a clean install would be better vs an upgrade. I'm really looking for the fastest solution that will allow me to manage the virtual machine in the new host of 2008 with vCenter 4.1. Please give me a few pointers (possibly hand holding ) on this process. Thank you!

• Failed to configure HA on a new host

  Here's the scenario...

  I added a new host for my cluster existing, reproduces all the components of network correctly and can ping the new host name and IP address of the network and the vcenter Server and the license to the new host file allows HA.

  The question I have is that when I try to activate HA on this host, it fails every time with the following message appears: -.

  HA agaent has an error addnodefailedforprimarynode: cmd:

  AAM error - internal agent could not HA start.:Unknown error.

  Can someone help me solve this problem or at least point me in the right direction.

  See you soon

  Take a look at the Configuration of the host tab in the vSphere Client. Make sure the entry field (and search) in 'And DNS routing' exists and is correct (for example, a typo in).

• New host is added to the cluster

  I took over the administration of a cluster 4 host running ESX 4 U1.  The processors are Xeon E5335.  The admin before ordered 2 extra guests with Xeon E5620 CPUs.  I wonder if vmotion will work when I add new hosts, it looks like in KB, I found that I have to change the mask on new hosts and select CVS on all hosts for this to work.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Just turn on CVS at the level of the cluster before adding new hosts. And vMotion works perfectly after that.

• VMs in transition to the new host - host license expiration problem

  I have a fully licensed host ESX 3 (+ VC with license server Foundation) and I'm in the process of setting up 2 x ESX 3.5 and hosts SAN new to replace the one 3.02.

  I have not quite allowed to have all 3 of the hosts running at the same time.

  I was evaluating esx 3.5 on the hosts, but they are now expired and I don't have the chance to test VCB.  (had held by other issues and a holiday in the middle)

  I don't want to redo a straight change in case there are problems with the virtual machines on the new host, so I had to migrate virtual machines one or two at a time. (which is also a pain as the 2 x host ESX 3.5 of assessment will not add to the virtual Center due to licensing)

  Other that reinstall ESX 3.5 to get another 60 days (and having to reconfigure ISCSI etc) is there a better way to do it?

  Reinstall everything 3.5 host for a new evaluation period.

• Connect an ESX host 4.0 in a store of data VMFS 3.31 with vMotion, and ESX 3.5 hosts

  Hello

  I moved 2 x a new vCenter 4.0 3.5 ESX hosts.  I also have a new ESX 4.0 host.

  Can I connect this ESX host 4.0 for the data store using the 2 x ESX 3.5 hosts?  It is a VMFS 3.31 on a CX3-20 SAN data store. I was then going to vMotion virtual machines to the new host and reinstall the old.

  I just fear that the new ESX 4.0 host will do something to the data store that make it incompatible with the older ESX 3.5 servers.

  Thanks in advance,

  Euan

  Yes, you can connect and use these data with ESX versions warehouses. If you have sVMotion it will work as well. On ESX 3.5 you can only move the guest as a whole on an ESX 4.0 host, you can move the vDisks independently.

  It is perhaps unnecessary, but when I update the ESX 3.5 servers 4.0 I unplug the storage until the update is running. Just in case...

• Error of VMotion with CPU lag between hosts

  Having a problem with vmotion and incompatibility of function CPU that I hope someone can help me with. We have 4 guests who are servers HP DL360 using Intel Xeon E5345 CPU we recently added another host in the cluster that uses an Intel Xeon E5420 CPU here is the error message when you try to vmotion, a virtual machine to the new host.  New host-based SSE4 and others are SSE3

  Impossible to migrate host CPU is incompatible with

  requirements of the virtual machine to CPUID level register 0 x 1 ' ecx.

  bits of the host: 0000:0100:0000:1000:0010:0010:0001:0001

  necessary x 0000:0000:0000:000: xxx0:0x1x:xxx1:x 001

  inconsistency detected for these features:

  * SSE4.1 see KB artickle 1993 for a possible solution

  I looked at the article and I don't know what is the best way to get around this. All virtual machines are set to expose the nx flag to the operating system.  Is it recommended to do CPU bit masking or Enhanced vMotion on the cluster? Enhanced VMotion is disabled on the cluster and cannot be enabled because there is an original 4 guest that any material error is incompatible. I started the new server with the CPUID tool and its Support SSE's SSE4 NX/ED is enabled and supports 64-bit. What could be some possible reasons why other hosts are displayed as incompatible materials? Both processors are listed as being supported for vMotion strengthened on the compatibility table, I spoke with the support and they recommended the creation of a new cluster and enabling enhanced vMotion or turn off the VM and activating on current cluster but all hosts should be considered to be compatible.  We are on ESX 3.5 Update 3

  What would be the best way to work around this problem without a major outage?

  Thanks for any help.

  In my experience so far, no.     I had to stop/restart the VM to bring them to the new cluster.
