• vMotion between two hosts with different version?

  
  Hello

  Can I vMotion VM between two hosts with different version? For example, a virtual machine of esxi 6.0 5.5 esxi and esxi esxi 6.0 5.5 vMotion.

  Thank you.

  Yes, it will avoid you to move.

• vMotion (without shared storage) between two hosts with different vSwitches standard s VM

  I can VM vMotion (without shared storage) between two hosts with different vSwitches standard? The vSwitches on these two hosts have different names and number of NIC, but have the same name of portgroup.

  
  Thank you.

  Yes, you can in a Storage VMotion to one Esxi to another with no shared storage...

  It is important the portgroup bears the same name... This is the reference for the VM...

• VMotion between 2 Hosts with different processors

  Hallo,

  I have a server in my homelab I use for studies of VMsphere and I want to get a second machine to test advanced features such as HA, Vmotion etc.

  My first server has a map of X9SCM-9 with processor Xeon E3-1230V2 (Ivy Bridge). I am currently running ESX 5.0 U2 on it.

  I was counting on obtaining of material quality for the second host consumers because I don't want to spend a lot on it, so I thought that I need any CPU generation Ivy Bridge.

  I tested today with a second machine with a Pentium G2020 Ivy Bridge, but when I try to Vmotion he says "the virtual machine requires physical features that are not available or disabled on the host... ».

  So I figure there must be a difference in architecture regardless of the CPU beeing an Ivy Bridge CPU.

  When I try to activate CVS it just me are going to the 'Nehalem' Version so my virtual machines running on host 1 would not be able to use all the features of the CPU since the Xeon.

  So the question boils down to: what is the processor less which offer compatibility VCA L5?

  Or is there something else to consider in VMotion between two hosts with different processors?

  I got a shared storage, etc. of the same network configuration.

  Thank you

  Benjamin

  Hi Benjamin,

  For compatibility VCA L5 want to look at one of the following models, Intel CPU:

  • Ivy Bridge: Series E3-1200-v2
  • HASWELL

  I would recommend mental health that before rushing and a CPU purchase, check if a cheaper option would be, as Jon mentions in suppresss some fo the CPU compatibility checks so obviously, this is not desirable in a production environment, and must be applied in your study of VMware Lab to the home address.

  Hope this helps,

  Simon

• Transfer rate between ESXi host using "Veem backup and FastSCP".

  Hi all

  I have two ESXi host connected with Eth - 1 G ports on an HP switch

  now I'm trying to transfer data between two hosts using "Veem backup and FastSCP" tool

  a 1 MB/s transfer rate is normal? you know a way to improve the performance of the network?

  Note that no collision or inadequacy not discovered on the way to the switch

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  This work is a line perhaps? If you use VMFS as target, you must double check the block size, if it is the default 1 MB, the maximum size of a vmdk disk is 256 GB.

  The value you got 274878668800 bytes, divided three times by 1024, gives you exactly 256.0007095336914 GB. This is probably the problem.

• Having a problem with vmotion between two hosts with processors Intel E5640

  Hi all.

  We organize a group of 14 guests, each with ESX 4.0, build 261974 installed.

  They are managed through vCenter 4.0.0 and construction 258672, vSphere client 4.0.0 builf 258672.

  The hosts are blades from IBM, in a BladecenterH.

  Some of the blades are older model HS21 (type 7995) with processors Intel Xeon E5440.

  The rest of the blades are more recent model HS22V (type 7871) with processors Intel Xeon E5640.

  We are currently replacing old HS21 blades with more the HS22 blades, so we just bought 7 HS22s, all with the same Intel E5640 processors located in the blades currently in service. One of the things that this transition will happen for us is allowing us to have the same processor type in all of our blades and remove vMotion compatibility problems we had in the past. We were unable to turn on CVS, because we would have had to shut down a cluster of virtual machines on the latest hosts and could not take this kind of failure. We will turn VCA after that.

  Here's the question:

  We just installed the first new knives, and when turn on us and try to vMotion VMs to it, it fails. He gives us the error standard vMotion on CPU register incompatibilities, and that we should read kb1993. The thing is, they all have the same processor. Same identifier type, same everything, yet for some reason vCenter is convinced they are incompatible. We checked things in BIOS, and they are all the same.

  We are ideas, other than the new knives have a later rev BIOS than the old ones.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you!

• Storage vMotion-Direct between ESXi hosts

  Hi all

  It is my first time on the boards, I hope it's the right way to go on this subject.

  I have problems with Storage vMotion, it's not a set up us would use normally, rather than by necessity with the current scenario.

  We have a desktop which has 2 x 5.1 ESXi hosts. They do not have a budget for SAN with the installation of HBA, and it is only a single requirement. I have to migrate virtual machines from one to the other, but with no external storage. I wait with Storage vMotion directly from a local data store to another.

  I activated the software iSCSI on both ESXi hosts

  Created a vSwitch separated with a VMkernal on two physical hosts

  The two VMkernals are on a separate subnet * 172.16.1 and production vSwitch is 192.168.5. *.

  The NIC allocated for the 172.16.1 network. * is both connected to the same physical switch.

  I ping the VMkernal and the vmkping the VMkernal

  Scan for storage again and nothing shows up.

  I used software iSCSI before, for a long time so I'm probably rusty. Dynamic discovery is normally indicated in the SAN to pick up storage, and finds it just local storage on each host itself.

  In this scenario, I told the IP address of the ESX2 VMkernal on 172.16.1 ESX1. * since I have no external storage. I think it is, I'm wrong, but I don't know what else to do to recover local data warehouses.

  Any ideas to try would be very appreciated.

  Thank you

• Help to get a list of virtual machines with switch network and name

  I'm trying to get a simple list of virtual machines on a single host and include their name and networkname.

  When I run this Get - vm | where {$_.} $host.name - eq "ESX.local"}, I get the virtual machines with their name.  When I run this Get-networkadapter - vm Get - vm | where {$_.} $host.name - eq "ESX.local"} I download news network with the name of the network, which is what im after. "  I want to combine these 2 commands and get vm name and network name in a csv.  The network name is the Group of ports, the VM is affected change settings for example, it could be vlan10 or what you named your group of ports in the switch DV.  I've attached a screenshot of the orders successfully.

  Hello, brisketx-

  You could do a little more efficiently by getting first the VMHost (s) that are of interest, then get their virtual machines and then using a computed property for the names of network for virtual machines.  As:

  Get-VMHost esx.local | Get-VM |    Select-Object Name, @{n="NetworkName"; e={(Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $_ | %{$_.NetworkName}) -join ","}}
  

  You can then, of course, lead to Export-Csv to write the data to a CSV file.  How does do for you?

• Find the space between the word with different endings and figures

  Hello

  I am trying to find a way to find spaces between the words and numbers.

  

  I'm limited to only use the word "WORD" (capital or small capitals) with different endings like - ing s y and more (using \S+).

  I wrote something like (? i) (? < = WORD\S +) \s(?=\d+) but this does not work due to some limitations of advanced search, I think?

  Any suggestions?

  On the other hand, I think that.

• VMware in network bridge: Freezed host with WS6.5 and Windows Vista x 64 or Windows 7 x 64 host operating system

  Hello

  I have a problem with VMware Workstation 6.5 on 64-bit Windows host.

  First, I installed VMware Workstation 6.5.0 118166 on my x 64 Windows Vista SP1 host, and I had a weird problem when working with network on my host system, no matter there is a guest running or not. The problem is when I try to connect/disconnect from VPN connections or plug/unplug my network from my LAN socket cable, etc., host OS freezes suddenly with no answer to anything whatsoever, no movement of the mouse, without strikes, nothing.

  After sometimes, I installed Windows 7 Beta 7000 x 64 on my computer and have no problem with it until I installed VMware Workstation 6.5.0 118166 on it: the gel problem once again. I thought it may be a problem on this specific build of VMware, so I downloaded and installed the latest version (6.5.1 126130) on my system, but the problem persists.

  After playing with a large number of settings, I find that if I delete the service "VMware Bridge Protocol" of my network card, the problem does not happen.

  I searched the forum but I can't find anything like that, so I wonder if anyone can help me with that?

  My network card is an edge ' Realtek RTL8168B/8111 Family PCI - E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0) b ' on my card mother Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3.

  Other features of the system:

  AMD Athlon 64 X 2 5200 + CPU

  6.0 GB of RAM

  Seagate ST3500320AS SATA HARD drive

  nVidia GeForce 8600GT 512 MB video card

  Thank you.

  Which driver version you have installed for your network (NIC) card?   This link shows a version of driver Vista/Win2008 6.216 (dated 2009/02/26) available.  The same driver should work as well for Win7.

  If the above does not resolve the problem, view the properties for the NETWORK adapter and temporarily disable all 'Task Offload"or other characteristics"discharge"to see if that helps.

• Storage vMotion possible with ESXi Std Edt or not?

  Hi all

  We have two implementations of VMware with ESXi Standard edition licenses installed on the two site. A site has vCenter Server Foundation edition while the other has vCenter Server Standard Edition.

  The problem is that the site with vCenter Std and vSphere 5 Std doenst allow storage vMotion (see image below)

  

  While, on the other hand, site 5 Stnd vSphere with vCenter Foundation allows storage Vmotion (see image below)

  

  How is it so that vSphere Stndard this edtion of different characteristics in different places?

  I had recorded the call and found the solution... VSphere 5.0 and 5.1 gives really different set of features with the same Std license vSphere.   Take a look at the link for options available with vSphere 5.0 and 51 below.

  1 compare vSphere 5.0 editions

  Compare the editions of vSphere VMware for Cloud Computing, server and data center virtualization

  VSphere editions 2 - compare 5.1

  Compare VMware vSphere editions: managed Virtualization & amp; Cloud Computing

  For a test, I used the same Standard edition server with 5.1 key to it has worked well with Storage vMotion Option available :-)

• Install or not to install: "Webroot Antivirus with spy sweeper" and "Norton Internet security".

  original title: install or have not installed?

  I am very confused about the difference between "Webroot Antivirus with spy sweeper" and "Norton Internet security". They are both asking me to click on install. They provide the same service? What one do need me more? Windows 7 is already a certain protection/security installed in? I'm afraid to install anything that is not "Microsoft". I heard that too much protection can get an infected computer. My new computer is not yet a year old, I want to keep it in good shape for as long as possible.

  The real risk of installing more of an anti-virus program is that they do not work well together and can cause system performance slow and computer lock-up and others.  You should only choose an antivirus product and install it.  Microsoft Windows comes with a limited program called "Windows Defender" that protects against spyware/adware, but no virus, but if you prefer a Microsoft solution, you can download and install "Microsoft Security Essentials" that offers more protection.  Personally, I also use and recommend MSE and have never had a problem with it.

  Make sure that you uninstall Webroot and Norton Internet Security before installing MSE.

• Can we do vmotion between hosts with load balancing in network cards grouping different strategy.

  Hello

  We are implementin new host in our Infra and do some vmotions between different groups. A group a host with balancing 'route based on IP hash. " Can we do Vmotion to another cluster where the hosts have different load balancing policies. In addition, if we change the policy on new hosts in furture of load balancing is loss of downtime or a package?

  Kind regards

  Vikram Kumar

  First of all, no problem from VMs one ESX to another, they use different political Multipathing.

  Second, if you use IP hash, it means you are using etherchannel (or LACP) on the physical layer - configuration/cancellation of the configuration that almost always require that the uplinks are not used by any VMs, so you have time to synchronize the physical and virtual configuration. It is not a time out, but you need to plan accordingly - all depends on your physical network capacity.

• As part of the SAR cert is to have a NW separated between ESXi host required for VMotion or is it OK to use IP for VMotion management, in the execution of Certification tests.

  As part of the SAR cert is "have a NW/dedicated separate between hosts ESXi (on which we GOS) mandatory for VMotion or is - OK to use IP for VMotion management in the execution of Certification tests.»

  Note that the verification passed Test when you use management IP for Vmotion and without a dedicated connection to NW between ESXi hosts.

  Separate dedicated network interface cards preferred. No problem with the test after this change case.

• Stop reboot request when fast vMotioning to a host with a different processor

  I need help to find a better way to deal with a prompt to reboot my users get due to a vDesktop in model (Dell 710) host vMotioned to another (Dell 720). The difference between the two is the processor models. The 710 is a Xeon X 5670 and the 720 is a Xeon E5-2667. The two processors use the same .inf (cpu.inf) file and apparently the drivers. Simply, it triggers the installation process of the material causing the Plug and Play Manager to require a restart of the operating system after the installation. The result, I'm wanting just needs that this reboot window displays don't not weither would it by slaughtering the hardware installation process, hide the window of dialogue itself, or any other possible way to configure the system which does not show users. I've confirmed that you don't have to restart the machine remain operational. Here is some additional information on the operating system and all.

  Any suggestions or thoughts are greatly appreciated.

  I encountered the same problem and the only solution I've found so far is to start the master on both hosts.  When he started on the two hosts, the message no longer appears when moving the virtual machine back to a host with a different model of CPU.  I have two clusters currently, so I have not tested vMotioning fast machine between hosts with different CPU while it is running.  When I had the chance to test, I'll post my results.
