• Server has no persistent storage

  I installed ESXi 3.5 for testing purposes and once I downloaded and ran the VMware Infrastructure Client, I get the message, "VMware ESX server has no persistent storage." As this is the first time I saw, and still less used VMware, I'm confused on what I should do next. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  For Windows 2003 and 2008, it is not necessary, because the drivers for the virtual SCSI controller by default are already included on installation CD/DVD.

• "VMware ESX Server doesn't have storage persistent." after you have applied the latest updates.

  This weekend, I applied the updates on a server ESXi 3.5 Update 3.  The update process indicates that a restart is required, so I stopped all the guests and then restarted the server ESXi Infrastructure customer.  To reconnect to the server, it has more a defined data store.  The 3i command prompt, I see yet that/dev/discs / vmhba1:0:0:3 the size of my previous data store.  Someone there can help me with what has happened in my store data and, more important still it, can I get it back?

  Thank you.

  If you go to the console, you will see the disc if you run fdisk-l?  If so, go to Configuration-storage adapters and click on the link of the new analysis.    If that don't is not raise the datastore glanced at the logs and see if there are errors on a snapshot and then take a look at the advanced option LVM.

• 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.

• Help: The ESXi host has no persistent storage

  We have an ESXI 5.0 installed on our Dell server and we have some virtual machines running. suddenly, we had a mistake on Vsphere client.

  "EXSI host has no persistent storage.

  To run the virtual machine, create at least a data store for the maintenance of the machines virtual and other system files. »

  to resolve this problem, so we tried.

  On Vsphere client (connected to the ESXI)-> configuration-> storage-> rescan all... once the re-scanner has been done.

  We are able to see the file was mounted on the data store and it is lost in a minute. so it isn't permanently mounted to the data store to access the virtual machine.

  Once we do the re-scan once again, we saw that the file has been fitted to the data store and lost again.

  assemble and disassemble is to continue to switch.

  We need a solution to fix the problem, or in the worst case we need a way to recover the Esxi machine (VMS) data.

  Kindly share the reflections.

  It should be a disk error, it is local storage that tempt you and the virtual machine files are stored in the local disk

  don't forget to check the logs on the bit/ucs, regardless of the remote management tool, you use...

  Please check the log files and vobd.log vmkernel

• VMWare ESX Server training

  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.

• VMware ESX Server 2.5.0 build-11548 - licenses can be centralized in vCenter 2.0.2?

  VMware ESX Server, version 2.5.0 build-11548

  VC V. 2.0.2 Build 50618

  My current mission is with some legacy equipment and versions.

  When I add an esx host to vCenter (see versions above) - I don't get any options to add the 'module' of license to vCenter. The 3.0.2 host works well with a license from the local host and Add-ons vcenter. Version 2.5.0 host has a configured host license. I figured I could use a license for the host of the server and add vMotion, HA, DRS & as Add-ons of vCenter. Selecting the host 2.5 licenses tab is not activate 'configuration of the host' link or it lists license config below.

  Also, if I should not just use vCenter 2.0.2 for esx 2.5.x guests... please chime in with the grounds.

  Can the server vCenter 2.0.2 licenses treat the add-on (vMotion, HA, DRS) licenses for a range of esx 2.5.x with a local host (Server/SMP) license (s) OR even just centralized? It does for 3.0.2 without effort.

  No - vmotion, HA and DRS is not possible with ESX 2.5 - even if it was possible to use the license server centralized with VC 2.0.x these features of VI - 3 can have be used with older versions of ESX.

  If this is not the case, can I change esx 2.5.x to open ports or to start a service allowing the centralized license mgmt?

  The only way to manage centrally ESX 2.5 license is with VC - 1, x -.

  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...

• ESXi host has no persistent storage / fsUUID is null

  Hello

  The issue I'm having involves a HP N40L Microserver w / local storage on a HP SmartArray P410 controller.  6 hard drives configured in a RAID10 array and the multitude of ESXi what OS runs on local USB.

  A recent issue w / the matrix raid caused a crash of the VMS resident and now "host ESXi has no persistent storage" message.

  I solved the problems of disk HARD w / table (replaced a disk), and the table is presented in the peripheral topic under "HP Serial Attached SCSIDisk.  ID is naa.600508b1001c8d82bf5f4a33f0e2bc04

  However, the data store does not appear in the tab of data warehouses.  I refreshed and restarted several times w / no success.

  This data store was run on an installation 5.1 ESXi (ISO custom HP) for a few years without problem.

  To try to solve the problem, I installed ESXi 6.0 U1 on a new USB stick which fortunately is now running in the Microserver but presenting the same behavior for the data store.

• How do you know what was the latest patch installed on VMware ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0 207095

  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.

  Also...

  ... is there any update for this system? I therefore believe that the patch software etc was not around when I was installing this server in 2010.

  Based on KB http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1014508 you run ESX 3.5 Update 5.

• Simulation of material on VMWare ESX Server (is it possible?)

  Hello I am a student and write my thesis of license.

  The theme of my thesis is the 'comparison of VMWare ESX Server and Citrix XenServer'.

  After I installed XenServer on the material, I was able to simulate the material and got the possibility of

  OEM-Versions of Microsoft operating systems install VM on XenServer. With this feature can save our customers

  money, because they can use the Versions OEM of MS products provided by our care.

  

  Now my question! Is it possible to simulate the material on VMWare ESX Server and install the OEM Versions

  or are there other ways how I can install the OEM Versions on VMWare ESX Server?

  I've seen this kind of problem before as well and it's the media. Try to download eval software as an ISO and see if it works.

  I know say you it worked with xenserver then why not with esx - I can't answer this question I can only tell you want that I found worked.

• ESX server with 2 different storage array?

  Hello.

  I currently have my ESX servers connected to storage DS4700 and most berries.  Each ESX is double path via a switch which, in turn, allows me to see my DS4700.  My question is, can I i the area my ESX Server so that it can "see" my DS8300 and I would be able to assign LUNS of my ESX servers with no problems?  Both can coexist?  I think I should use for my DS4700 host bus adapters and host bus adapters that are dedicated to my DS8300?  A UNIX point, these 2 storage arrays do not 'communicate' the same way (for example, SDD and RDAC).

  Thank you.

  Steph

  SDD driver is for the multipath. VMware has its own multi-channel driver that is shipped with ESX server, you won't not any 3rd party multipathing software.

  In any case to be abel to see camps Bay you have no need to activate the software multpathing. It is intended only to provide a redundant path to any logical unit number hosted by a single table through several MS SPs/Ports.

  Area just for DS8300 ESX Server and a new analysis should see the new targets and when you present LUNS to your host definetion analyze again another you should see the DS8300 LUN.

  I hope this helps.

  Hi Nicky,

  We will clear up the confusion of port for the next version.  Regarding
  availability be yellow, I believe that it is through the combination
  the VMware API in 3.0 is much slower than ESX 2 times 20
  VMS exposes this recently fixed issue: http://jira.hyperic.com/browse/
  HHQ-437

  You can find a patch fixed the issue that should solve your
  lights of availability.  Let us know if that helps.  It is also possible
  to reduce the memory usage by disabling the plugins that vmware
  Buy adding to agent.properties:

  plugins.include = VMware

  You can also change the max heap size in agent.properties:
  agent.javaOpts =-Xmx128m
