VMware Esx 5.1 close Script
Hi guys.
I wonder if someone could help me.
We have several power outages here in South Africa and I am faced with having to close our servers regularly.
I had all our windows servers stop automatically via our software UPS (Riellio)
I tried to download the Vmware software from our support UPS page but they say that it won't work on the free version of Esx 5.1.
In turn what I've done is to create a script that runs through Plink and I'm hoping to use it on another machine to windows as a shuhtdown script.
Thus, when the windows box stops he will run the script and closed to turn the ESX I anime.
I activated the SSH on the Esxi server and when I run the stop script it stops the server very well but I read that the server must be in Maintenance mode during extinction.
I want to just make sure that it stops the Esx server with elegance.
The script is below:
Any help would be appreciated.
Text of script as follows:
Plink - ssh [email protected] - pw mypassword poweroff d 10
Plink - ssh [email protected] - pw mypassword poweroff d 10
Hello
While studying the possibility to do it via the device, you can change your order to do the following:
Plink - ssh [email protected] - pw MyPassword "esxcli system set to true maintenanceMode EI; . poweroff d 10 "
in this way the host will enter first mode of maintenance and the next order via; will be stopped.

VMware ESX server CPU use test alarm
Hi all
For a new client, I need to show the alarm and ticket slot functionlity vmware ESX server logging settings
- Use of the CPU of a server ESX VMW
- Use of memory for the server ESX VMW
While I reduced the threshold value of VMW ESX Server CPU use as beloow format
WARNING - 5% and STDev.warning - 0
I made this two days before configuration, but still no alarm generated for this rule.
Help the creation of a test of the abveo metric ESX alarm
Hi - I ended up having to do such things in the past as well. I just built a virtual machine added lots of processors and memory, then for the CPU, I used the script CPUBusy.vbs from VMware (Google search which) and down it load times so that he began to max real physical processors... For memory, I just opened a massive text file in Wordpad and scroll up and down it. This gave me the circumstances to test the alarms, just don't do as a busy time or use some dev ESX servers...

Shell ESX or MS Powershell script to add permissions to the user host account
I have this command "Add a user" ESX 3.5 service console...
CD/usr/sbin /.
adduser-l user-p password u 502
You know the command to give this user 'Read only' "permissions" of the "ESX Server"?
The attachment shows where the permissions of the user (in this case Akorri) have been added to the GUI of the VIC connected to the ESX host.
Even better... You have a PowerShell Script to add users and permissions?
Hello
You must use a shell script to modify the etc/vmware/hostd/authorization.xml file. I have yet to see a powershell script that can make these changes for you, but you could check in PowerGUI.

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.

IPSec on VMWare ESX 5.1 communication problems
Hello
We have 2 computer systems. You running us VMWare ESX 5.1 and the other is running Ubuntu 14.04. We have problems for IPSec to work between the two systems. We cannot find any documentation or known issues with IPsec on VMWare ESX 5.1, so we're going to reach out to the community.
Here's what we did:
1. we configured Ubuntu and VMWare systems to use IPv6, we can ping each other using IPv6.
2. we configure IPSec on an Ubuntu operating system by following the instructions below:
https://help.Ubuntu.com/community/IPSecHowTo
3. we have followed the instructions below to configure IPsec on VMWare.
Here's the problem:
When 2 Ubuntu systems run IPsec, they are able to ping each other. However, when allow us IPSec communications between VMWare and Ubuntu, the ping is suspended.
Here is the result of the configuration of command esxcli on VMWare:
UBUNTU. IPv6.ADDRESS-> Ubuntu IPv6 address
VMWARE. IPv6.ADDRESS-> address IPv6 from VMWARE

GoToDPSP UBUNTU. IPv6.ADDRESS/64 0 VMWARE. IPv6.ADDRESS/64 0 in ipsec transport GoToDPSA
Here's what we found:
After debugging the problem (using tcpdump), we found that the VMWare system sends the ESP packets, but never sends a package AH (required for IPSec authentication). Even when the encryption protocol is null, the system of VMWare would always send ESP packets, but never once sent a package of AH.
Here is the resulting execution trace: Ubuntu - ping-> VMWare:
...
IP6 UBUNTU. IPv6.ADDRESS > VMWARE. IPv6.ADDRESS: AH(spi = 0 x 00000256, seq = 0 x 16): ICMP6, an echo request, seq 1, length 64

IP6 VMWARE. IPv6.ADDRESS > UBUNTU. IPv6.ADDRESS: ESP(spi = 0 x 00000300, seq = 0 x 3), length 160
Summary:
There seems to be a problem with IPSec in VMWare ESX 5.1 on IPv6.
We noticed that the downloads section of the site support provided patches for VMWare ESx 4.x and earlier, but lack of patches for VMWare ESx 5.x.
Are there known issues in this area or available patches to fix this problem? Your kind suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Sorry for the late reply, but here the analysis of what is happening and why you are experiencing a problem.
The Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) to IPsec protocol will encrypt a payload of the packet and can
Optionally authenticate the packages as well. You do not include orders allowing you to set the
Security Association (SA) and political security (PS), but the output in your post indicates that you
you want to encrypt the payloads both authenticate packets in mode of transport between the hosts.
I don't know why the Ubuntu IPsec HowTo examples using protocols AH and ESP to encrypt and
authenticate the packets. In our view, it is best done in a single step with ESP, ESXi only
offer the option of AH with IPsec. Of course, this requires configuring the ESXi server and your
The host with a configuration of IPsec compatible Ubuntu (or any other operating system).
To illustrate, suppose the ESXi server has the address 2001:db8:1 and the host of Ubuntu has the
address 2001:db8:2. We will use cbc-3des for encryption of the useful and hmac-sha2-256 load for integrity
authentication mode of transport - just like in your message.
On the ESXi host, the commands to do this might look like this (of course, you need to generate your)
own keys and not re-use those I did).

On your Ubuntu host, you need a compatible IPsec configuration. In general, on linux systems
use the command setkey BSD-door, this is done by changing the system-wide

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.

Data growing in vmware esx server disk 3
Hi, I have been asked by a colleague If I can be useful to expand d: ------disc on an existing virtual windows server 2003.
They use:
VMware ESX Server 3i Version 3.5.0 Build 110271
VMware Infrastructure Client Version 2.5.0 build 119826
Is it possible to extend the disc in vSphere clienten, start by clicking on the edit \ disk and then expand the *. wmdk file of 25 GB to 40 GB? After this connection in the server and expand the disk using a few better disk expansion program.
/ T.
Yes, it should work even with the virtual machine. After having developed the virtual disk in the graphical interface, connect to the virtual machine Windows 2003 (or open the console or via the administrative RDP session) and rescan storage in disk management. Assuming that the data disk has only one partition or is the last partition on the disk and does not have the file exchange/swapfile on it, you may even be able to extend disk space by using the diskpart command-line utility.

And would you please reference me this article?
ESX will not available in vSphere 5.0. It will be always supported in the same way that VI 3.5 is still supported, however. Here's an official blog stating that ESX 4.1 is the latest major version of ESX.
