• 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.

  ... 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.

• 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...

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 -.

• installation of the agent on the vmware ESX Server

  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

• VMware ESX Server, version 3.5.0 64607 | Assessment - Vmotion?

  Hello world

  I'm just checking on my server VMware ESX vmotion, 3.5.0 64607 copy evaluation, but when I go to the configuration of virtual Center and then tab features licensed Add-ons are grayed out and VMotion is listed as not used.  I am able to request access to this feature somehow?  I need to download the evaluation version of the enterprise?

  Thank you.

  .. .and to add a little more to what said KjB, when configuring your VMkernel port, make sure that you check the box that says 'enable vmotion '.

• "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.

• "VMware ESX Server has no persistent storage."

  I installed VMware ESXi 3.5 installable on a server with an Adaptec RAID 3405 controller. The build number of ESXi is 123629. I've got 4 1 TB drives configured in a RAID 5 array for a total to 2.73. When I install VMware, he sees the RAID array with the right size and installs successfully. However after I reboot and connect with the VI Client I get the message on the server not having is not a persistent storage and no data warehouses are displayed. If I go to storage adapters it shows Adaptec SCSI like vmhba2 with 2.73 TB capacity. However when I add storage and select disk/LUN it shows only 2.73 TB but only 744 GB of available capacity. I've never met this before. How to access the full capacity? I thought maybe it was because I was still on the trial but license using the serial number of the license made no difference. Also after he did the first time I've recreated the RAID array and started with a new installation of VMware. Both times he sees only 744 GB available.

  Maximum supported = 2 TB LUN size, then you need to separate your RAID in 2 volumes, less than 2 TB each

• VMDK file unreadable after migration of VM &amp; update of the ESX Server

  Last night we have updated the ESX servers here and in the migration process machines from one node to the other (by placing a single node of the cluster in maintenance mode). During this migration, the VMs one has stopped running. When we finished the migration and had updated the ESX Server, we brought the system to the top and tried to start this virtual machine.

  First, we looked in the directory of the virtual machine and saw that the VMDK file has a different name, with - dish at the end (before hard). We have renamed the file, removing the - flat extension, and this is where we saw these messages. ESX Server always gbehaved as if the file did not exist or was unreadable. Here is an extract from the log:

  The VMDK file is indeed the most, but VMware seems unable to open it. For what it's worth, it was also noted a .hlog file in the directory of the virtual machine on the server:

  Anyone can shed some light on this? Done-flat suffix in the VMDK file have a special meaning? Any recommendations for the rescue of this virtual machine?

  Thank you very much in advance.

• Compatibility of VMware vCenter Server 4 Foundation to vSphere with ESX 3 Standard VI

  We are already use VMware ESX Server 3.5 VI.

  Our intention is to buy VMware vCenter Server 4 Foundation for vSphere addition VI ESX 3.5 Server running on a separate server. Our concern is;

  1. is VMware vCenter Server 4 Foundation for backward compatible product vSphere with VMware ESX Server 3.5?

  2 If no, then is it a similar product of VMware, which is compatible with VMware ESX Server 3.5?

  Please notify.

  VMware vCenter Server Foundation 4.0 can handle up to 3 vSphere or legacy hosts.  If you need to manage more than 3 guests, you should definitely consider vCenter Server Standard edition.
