VMware 5.5 u1 - iScsi adapter hangs the system

Hi all

Last week I was not successful in improving the environment VMware 5.5 to 5.5U1. First installation well happened, set up the first ESXi host and created a profile of the host. So far so good, no major issues. Where to install the rest of the other 5 blade servers and applying the host profile all seem to work well while things went sideways when the environment has been stopped and restarted.

Te of installation as follows:

Servers Dell 1955 blades Center (x 6)

Switches Cisco 3030 connected to the blades of the

vCenter server as a virtual machine on the ESXi cluster

Manager upgrade from vCenter as a virtual machine

Distributed Virtual Switch configured

During the shutdown procedure I move all components of vCenter to a single host before feeding the server vCenter (Windows 2008). Then I stop the ESXi host using the management client as vCenter is no longer available.

Turn on the cycle must start this first ESXi host, connect to it and then powering the vCenter components. Once that of all DRS and power management is set to automatic, then the virtual machine simulation is started.

With 5.5 all worked well and no problems at all. When I installed 5.5 U1 I could no longer connect to the ESXi server and it gave a 503 error when it connects to it. Through the journal showed that the components on the file system was not found after what I decided to do a cleaning of the files install.

After the reinstallation of the entire batch, I connected to an ESXi host and helped the network and added the iScsi card. At this point, the system stops responding and the session between the client and the ESXi host is disconnected.

Running several tests, I have concluded that something must be wrong with the components of virtual disk system, iScsi or vSan. 5 of 6 guests will be deployed to vmware 5.5 as vmware 5.5U1 is not stable...

Can use some to help solve this problem I will leave 1 server in the current state, is to identify the root cause because I'm stuck at the moment. Later, I'll post a few newspapers of sections of the file with the errors that I have identified. (Pass it restart does not solve the problem)

Kind regards

Hi Martin,

Could you please check the hardware compatibility list. I couldn't see Center blade server Dell 1955 support in 5.5U1 HCL.

  • The card using PCI-GPIB hangs the system (Windows 7)

    Hello

    I am running Labview 11.0 (32-bit) on Windows 7 (64-bit) computer and card PCI-GPIB to communicate with instruments.

    Can I use GPIB to send commands to the device, but when I used "Measure and Automation" and analysis of the instruments he runs right first time, but if I scan again the system crashes completely (no reaction to any seizure).

    Same thing happens if I use I/O Assistant VI, I can get a response from the instrument and on the second call, the system hangs. Yet, I can send as many orders without any problem, so the source is in the reading stage.

    The PCI-GPIB card worked perfectly well for years on another computer running Windows XP.

    Someone already had this problem and what can be the source of it?

    I had a similar problem, but I just found out that the motherboard was not good...

  • Bluetooth icon tray disappears after turning off the USB bluetooth adapter in the system tray

    You seem to have a problem with your bluetooth icon. If you cannot match something you can try to remove the device and then put it back. I tried it didn't work. Then, you may need to disable bluetooth adapter on the icon. But if you do that you cannot turn it back on because the bluetooth icon status bar disappears when the adapter is disabled. Also it does not appear in "peripheral" that the adapter is turned off. You must go to the C:\Program WIDCOMM software and double-click BTTray.exe to redisplay the icon, and then turn on the adapter. Come on Microsoft, surely it would be easier to just gray exit icon at its stop, then your right click the greyed to activate the adapter turn it back on. Simple really.

    Yes we have seen several times.

    The simple solution is to install ONLY the Client vSphere and not all vCenter Server.  Specified in the manual, but it is up to the user that installation of the client is the option left on the halfway point in the Setup user interface.

  • Scanner plugins CS6 audition freezes or hangs the system

    It seems that whenever I try to scan for VST effects, Adobe Audition crashes at 0% or freezes my system in 6500 + loading process using 100% of my memory (16 GB).

    Accordingly, there are no plugins.

    I tried these solutions:

    • Mobile VST folder to another drive and scan it there
    • Attempt to analysis of a folder empty
    • Update to the latest version of the hearing (problem existed before and after the huge Adobe update)
    • Tried to have only some, guaranteed to work the plugins in the folder
    • Hearing running as a system administrator and by ensuring that this folder are read-

    However, the result is always the same: no slowdown system or the progress leading to the accident.

    My system is Win7 64-bit.

    Is there a solution or at least a theory that could be the problem?

    Try to Audition for the release of your firewall. I gave him full access to the Internet and it worked for me XD

    Prior to that hearing could not scan at all the plugins. It crashed / frozen or stuck at 0% when I tried to scan.

  • High resolution monitor and VMware Workstation, causing the system to hang

    I usually like VMware / WS... I used VMware / WS for many years with problems little / not serious - until recently.

    I'm under WS 6.5.1 on MS/Windows/XP/Pro/SP2 (host), and 2 guests of virtual machines: RHEL4 and MS/Windows/XP/PRO.

    Recently I bought a SAMSUNG T260 (1920 x 1200) high-resolution screen - I really like (I also used SAMSUNG monitors for many years with little / no serious problems).

    Currently, I am frequently (several times a day) see the two VMware / WS (all guests) and my XP any host COMPLETELY FREEZES up.  The only way out of this is perhaps a shutoff of the system and then restart.

    Needless to say it is (IMHO) a OFF THE CHARTS SERIOUS PROBLEM... with all fingers pointing to VMware / WS (TBD).

    Previously, I was running on a HP low resolution screen 1280 x 1024.  I can run for days/months/still without seeing the problem above.

    Also, I believe many/most/all lower resolution monitors is likely no other problems (be it).

    This is a 'system to freeze the scenario:

    1 pass to MS/Win/XP vm host RHEL (mode full-screen)

    2. press quickly on full screen non-plein screen

    3. If I do the above too fast my entire army system freezes up.

    Any body else see something like that?  Any ideas/help/suggestions will be appreciated.

  • Powercli editable iscsi adapter logintimout?

    HI - is it possible to change the value of an adapter logintimeout software iscsi (iscsi adapter | properties: Advanced: logintimeout) via powercli?  We use a powercli script to run a new analysis of the adapters of iscsi on all our guests a at a time as needed.  Recommended by our SAN provider recommends that we put logintimeout to 60 seconds, but that the fact for 15-20 minutes for each host rescan.  Affecting the logintimeout value 5 seconds, temporarily, to analyze it again reduced the time to analyze again in 2-3 minutes per host, so I would include changing the logintimeout value in our script, but have not been able to find a way to do.  Thanks in advance for any ideas you may have.

    Hello, Kyle Powell-

    As with most everything that begins, «Can PowerCLI...» ', the answer here is, "can of course.  I didn't see a cmdlet 'standard' who will take care of this, so it's time for favorite of all, Get-view!  Something like:

    ## make the array of options to update on the ISCSI adapters$arrISCSIOptions = New-Object VMware.Vim.HostInternetScsiHbaParamValue[] (1)$arrISCSIOptions[0] = New-Object VMware.Vim.HostInternetScsiHbaParamValue -Property @{    key = "LoginTimeout"    value = 5} ## end new-object
    
    ## get all hostsystems, along with a few, choice propertiesGet-View -ViewType HostSystem -Property Name,ConfigManager.StorageSystem,Config.StorageDevice.HostBusAdapter | %{    ## get the HostStorageSystem for this hostsystem    $viewThisHostStorageSystem = Get-View -Id $_.ConfigManager.StorageSystem    ## for each ISCSI adapter in this host, update the InternetScsiAdvancedOptions    $_.Config.StorageDevice.HostBusAdapter | ?{$_ -is [VMware.Vim.HostInternetScsiHba]} | %{        ## reference:  http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp#com.vmware.wssdk.apiref.doc_50/vim.host.StorageSystem.html#updateInternetScsiAdvancedOptions        $viewThisHostStorageSystem.UpdateInternetScsiAdvancedOptions($_.Device, $null, $arrISCSIOptions)    } ## end foreach-object} ## end foreach-object
    

    Thanks to Onyx for the bit of the method to use here, "UpdateInternetScsiAdvancedOptions()".  And, you can set the scope of these actions of config by getting fewer hosts, or less HBA per host, etc.

    In any case, what to do for you?

  • promotion of iSCSI LUN with the VMFS data store

    Hello

    I moved an iSCSI on the website of DR SAN and fact volume so that it was accessible to the ESX host on the site of DR based on the IP address and made the new analysis of the adapter for iSCSI Software in the VI Client on the two hosts on the DR site and he discovered the LUN.

    I don't want to go to the Configuration, storage and add storage as this reformatted the volume and it has a VMware Server already on it running happily on the main site.

    How can I add the volume as a VMFS data store available on the two hosts as he is picked up automatically?

    Thank you

    Paul

    I guess it was a VMFS volume that was used by the ESX environment on main site you, Yes? If you have moved the LUN, i.e. the ESX hosts in the main site no longer have access so that the ESX host at the DR site do not have access, you will need to define EnableResignature = 1 under Advanced settings, LVM

    You restart the analysis for storage and you should access your VMFS volume. You will need to register your virtual machines with the new host.

    When complete set EnableResignature = 0

  • Hardware iSCSI adapter connection problems

    You try to bind material load NC550 adapters to the good network card.  When I list of the HBA association and the NIC.

    esxcli - list of server servername swiscsi vmnic vmhba d #.

    It displays the physical NETWORK card bad example vmnic0 which is a 1 GB card NETWORK configured as the VM network and network management

    I had previously assigned iSCSI Software for the two vmnic adapter in the NC550SFPs.  However when I list the cards for the iSCSI HBA software, it lists each NIC in the system.

    Tried to simply bind the correct physical NIC to the iSCSI HBA hardware

    esxcli - add a server servername swiscsi nic - n vmkx d vmhba #.

    where vmkx is the physical NIC for the NC550 and the vmhba # is the HBA for the NC550

    and it failed with: failed to add a network card

    Attempted to delete the incorrect association

    esxcli - server servername swiscsi nic remove - n vmkx d vmhba #.

    where vmkx is the nic which was displayed in the list for hba named vmhba #.

    and he returned: NIC is not bound

  • How to associate a VM for the second network adapter on the host

    Hello

    I have created a virtual machine and added a NIC that matches the first physical network adapter on the host Machine. I then added a second NETWORK adapter on the host. I would like to create the second network adapter on the same VM and map it on the second NETWORK adapter on the host. How can this be achieved.

    When I use the "Add Hardware", I does not enumerate the physical network adapters on the host to choose and assigns a VM mac address.

    Kind regards.

    VMware customers use virtual network adapters if you need for a great, a second deck on the host card, but how to do this depends on the host OS.

    For Linux, just run vmware - config.pl and choose to create a second bridged network adapter, choose the right pair of physics.

    For Windows, run vmnetcfg.exe (as an administrator), disable the automatic bypass and then manually fill the two physical network adapters (for example to create two VMnet adapters * with each mapping to a different physical NIC). You also need to restart the host VMware Agent services and VMware Server Web Access before these virtual cards will be available for use.

    Chapter 11 of the guide is a good reference for all this - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmserver2.pdf
