• 3.5 VMware esxi

  I have a dell poweredge 2600, I have vmware esxi 3.5 and it has 5 hard drives in raid format

  When I install vmware it shows only 10 gig hard dirve, it must indicate the total amount of 250 concerts

  can someone help me understand why he's not seen the other drives?

  Thanks a lot for your help in advance

  you will need to make your smaller RAID sets, as the limit is 2 TB minus 512 b

• I installed VMware ESXi on my Cisco's UCS server but after that I don't get from CIMC.

  I installed VMware ESXi on my Cisco's UCS server but after that I don't get from CIMC. also, I am unable to ping the address IP of CIMC. Any help?

  I think that MMIC does nothing with your ESXi installation... it is OoB management for servers of the UCS.

  Check your config MMIC inside the BIOS again.

• Why VMWare ESXi 5 slow down access to IBM M1015 / LSI 9240-8i RAID?

  I build servers for virtualization and wanted to go with VMWare ESXi 5. I configured RAID10 on 4 discs attached to the IBM M1015 internal RAID controller (similar to LSI 9240-8i) and installed ESXi without any problem. Only problem is that copying data to the data store (on the RAID array) on the host is slow - about 20 MB/s. And I get about the same speed when you try to copy data to a shared folder on the guest virtual machine. The host network is auto-négociée with switch 1000Mbit 1000Full and I used vmxnet3 vm card in the guest computer.

  When I install MS Hyper-V on the same exact server with the exact same table RAID10 I get around 110 MB/s speed to copy data to the Hyper-V host.

  I used the latest drivers available for each system:

  ESXi 5 - LSI_5_34-455140.zip\scsi-megaraid-sas-5.34-1vmw.500.0.0.406165.x86_64.vib

  Windows - 5.2.112

  I have even updated the firmware card 20.10.1 - 0077.

  This card is entry level but recommended on different places for ESXi. What I am doing wrong? Am I missing something?

  Thank you

  As I mentioned earlier, ESXi does not have caching at the level of the BONE, unlike HyperV.

• Custom ESXi from VMware ESXi vs Dell

  I'm trying to consolidate all our servers (P2V). My question is what distro ESXi should I use for my VMware servers or Dell custom? We currently have vSphere Essentials and yesterday 4.0 Update 2 is out. What will be my most safe/reliable and recommended approach.

  Material:

  2 x Dell PowerEdge R510 (ESXi via USB)

  1 x Dell PowerEdge 2850 (vCenter)

  Current options:

  (1) use 4u2 ESXi and vCenter 4u2 directly from the VMware site.

  (2) use ESXi 4u1 (Dell customized) and 4u2 from VMware sitevCenter. (the ESXi Dell 4u2 is not available)

  (3) use ESXi 4u1 (Dell custom) Dell site and 4u2 from VMware sitevCenter.

  (4) another idea?

  Thanks for any help!

  The version of Dell has the right ICD (but the vanilla version works as well) and the ready to run Dell OpenManage.

  You can add this tool later or boot from the Dell U1 version and use VMware Update Manager to upgrade to the version of U2.

• Upgrade VMware ESXi 6.0 Update 2 VMware ESXi 6.0

  Hello I am running my PowerEdge T110 II with VMware ESXi 6.0 - Dell customized image. I see that from April 15, 2016 Dell just introduced VMware ESXi 6.0 Update 2 and I'd like to update my system.

  On the download page , I see there is an option to download and the ISO file. I wonder if this installation will completely be wipeout my existing VMware ESXi 6.0 - Dell custom and all the settings and I have to start all over again or update 2 ISO just 'modernize' my network?

• 2808 LAG for use with VMware ESXi and Linux collage

  I posted the month last about setting up my work with groups LAG http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/network-switches/f/866/t/19537080.aspx servers (I'll effectively implementing implement this Saturday)

  I decided to buy a 2808 for my ESXi server get more aggregated connections to my staff iSCSI Linux server but now I'm worried I might have made a mistake to buy the 2808.

  After looking in the manual before I realized I could have been mistakenly assuming that the 2808 had STP and LACP, as I can't find LACP anywhere in the PDF file. I guess that the configuration of my Linux machine for 802.3ad is out (a hope to make mode 4), so now for the configuration of my house, I wonder (* 1 *) that I have to configure my VMware NIC team like and what mode of binding should I use on my Linux host? As for the section at the top (my working configuration) (* 2 *) I don't know what to do about the road other than the leave as 'route based on originating virtual port ID "? (This is how our other data centers are configured, but I'm waiting for my admin network as agglomerates ESXi hosts are configured with the channels of port on our cisco switches)

  For the House, I want to try to increase the bandwidth by using three NICs in each server, I was hoping that it works:
  VMware: Route of IP hash function?
  w/Linux: balance-alb?

  -VMware:
  Before you begin:

  • The default load balancing strategy is route based on the port virtual origin ID. If the physical switch uses the aggregation of links, route based on the IP hash load balancing should be used. For more information, see host requirements for the aggregation of links for ESX and ESXi (1001938) and the guide of VMware Virtual Networking Concepts .
  • LACP support was introduced in vSphere 5.1 on distributed vSwitches and requires additional configuration. For more information, see activation or deactivation of LACP on a group of ports Uplink using the vSphere Client Web (2034277).
  • Ensure that the Protocol of aggregation VLAN and link (if any) are correctly configured on the physical switch ports.

  -Linux:
  * Descriptions of bonding modes *.
  + Mode 0 balance-rr: Round-robin policy: transmit packets in the sequential order of the first available through the last high school. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.

  + 1 active-backup mode: Active-backup policy: only one slave in the link is active. A different slave becomes active if and only if, the active slave fails. MAC address of the binding is visible from the outside on a single port (NIC) to avoid confusion between the switch. This mode provides fault tolerance. The first option affects the behavior of this mode.

  + 2 balance-xor mode: XOR policy: transmit based [(adresse MAC XOR avec destination MAC traiterait de source) modulo County slave]. This selects the slave even for each destination MAC address. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.

  + 3 broadcast mode: broadcasting policy: transmits everything on all slave interfaces. This mode provides fault tolerance.

  + Mode 4 802.3ad: IEEE 802.3ad dynamic aggregation of links. Creates aggregation groups who share the same speed and duplex settings. Use all the slaves in the active aggregator according to the 802.3ad specification.

  -Prerequisite:
  -1.Ethtool support in the base drivers to retrieve the speed and duplex of each slave.
  -Switch 2.A which takes care of IEEE 802.3ad dynamic aggregation of links. Most of the switches will require some type of configuration to activate 802.3ad mode.

  + Mode 5 balance-tlb: Adaptive load balancing transmission: Channel link that doesn't require any special switch support. Outgoing traffic is distributed according to the intensity of the current (relative speed) on each slave. Inbound traffic is received by the current slave. If the receiving slave fails, another slave takes over the MAC address of the failed receiving slave.

  -Prerequisite:
  -1.Ethtool support in the base drivers to retrieve the speed of each slave.

  + 6 balance-alb mode: Adaptive load balancing: includes balance-tlb plus receive balancing (rlb) for IPV4 traffic and doesn't require any special switch support. Receive load balancing is achieved by ARP negotiation. Link driver intercepts the ARP replies sent by the local system on their way and replaces the hardware address of source with the unique hardware address of one of the slaves in the bond as different counterparts use different physical addresses for the server.

  The topic dell nearest you, I have found a useful was: http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/networking/f/4454/t/19415629.aspx

  my previous post was more concerned with VLAN tagging and spanning tree issues, but now I see I should have feared groups LAG it as well.

  Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance all :)

  PS. http://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/shared-content/data-sheets/en/Documents/dell-powerconnect-2800-series-spec_sheet.pdf said that the 2800 series supports LACP, so if I'm worried about anything on my iSCSI side slap me please in the face, but I guess even in this case, I'm still not sure how to configure the ESXi host because it does not support LACP without vSphere and my original configuration is a free version , so I have no web vSphere management needed to make the LACP allow the change.

  Not sure if it is of no use: example configuration of EtherChannel / switches control protocol LACP (Link Aggregation) with ESXi/ESX and Cisco/HP (1004048), but that's where I was to base the choice on IP hash from.

  It must have the support of layer 3 to achieve IP hash, IP addressing is a 3-layer technology, so a 6200 series or higher or the soon to be released N3000 series.

  Currently I see many MAC beat in the log of the switch.  From my understanding, I expect the MAC address out all ports, because that's what'd ESXi when you use 'route based on the hash of the IP.  I'm worried about the impact this might have on the CPU / switch.

• OpenManage for VMWare ESXi has no possibility of tasks of virtual disk

  OMSA v 7.1 and 7.2 for Windows (and earlier versions) allow the user to perform many tasks on virtual disks, including reconfiguring - expand a RAID array with a new drive.

  This is not true for managing open for VMWare ESXi - although you can monitor the status of the RAID and disks with the browser of the OMSA interface type, you cannot perform tasks - can not even make a high beam Flash.

  It is a huge problem, because the PERC controllers (H700 and H800, for example) don't allow you to develop virtual using hard drives not Dell disks when you try this during startup in the bios.  (These controllers only allows you to create new virtual disks using drives not Dell).

  This test was conducted using the latest firmware (12.10.4 - 0001 A10) and drivers for the H700 and H800 and multi-server r610 ESXi 5.1.

  Other people with VMWare have been affected by the present?  The only solution is to have two player networks connected to the computer, and create a simple Windows with OMSA, boot in Windows Server to expand the table using OMSA for Windows.

  I would be interested in the comments of others, including those of Dell.  We spent hours on the phone with Dell; This seems to be the only solution.  (Yes, Dell released a firmware version last year that has ceased blocking non Dell readers, but it only works for the creation of a new virtual disk, do not expanding one existing).

  Yes.  It came through a discussion in the Dell | Servers | Discussion of the RAID community.

  en.Community.Dell.com/.../20263442.aspx

  There is a CD bootable linux called OMSA Live that you download from PowerEdge (linux OS) systems management.

  This OMSA PERC H700 and H800 control and allows you to do everything.  When you reconfigure the RAID and the PERC card starts the reconstruction, although it seems risky, you can restart under VMware and the reconstruction of the RAID continues on.  And you can analyze with OMSA for VMware.

  Hi guys,.

  We tried to install on VMware ESXi 4.0 MegaRAID Storage Manager (IBM x 3550 M2) and it uses Controller RAID MegaRAID SAS 8808E to monitor the hard disk status but could not be able to install and it returned the error as attaché

  We followed the procedure as shown in the following ibm Web site

  1.6 MegaRAID Manager storage system to a VMWare ESX Server

  Follow these steps to install the on a MegaRAID Storage Manager

  VMWare ESX Server:

  1. download the latest MSM to ibm.com

  2 unzip the and copy MSM_linux_installer - 501.01.tar.gz on a USB key.

  3. from the ESX Server, in the console root, type the following command

  to identify the USB device: fdisk-l

  4. type the following command: mount/mnt/dev / {name of the USB device}

  5. type the following command: cd/mnt

  6. type the following command to copy MSM_linux_installer - 501.01.tar.gz in the occupied Palestinian territories

  file: cp MSM_linux_installer - 501.01.tar.gz / opt

  8 type the following command to unzip the package tar - vxf MSM_linux_installer - 501.01.tar

  9. replace the directories with the path/opt/disk

  10 tapez./vmware_install.sh to install MSM

  11. Select version of VMware

  a. enter 1 to install Vmware 3.5

  b enter 2 for VMware 4.0 install

  12. Select the storlib option

  a. Enter n If you want to use the Inbox storlib driver

  b. Enter y if you want to install the storlib delivered with MSM

  IBM recommends 'y' is selected for use packed with MSM, storlib by selecting "n" can

  cause some features of MSM does not function properly

  I would like to know if I use the correct version of the Storage Manager Application MegaRAID for VMware ESXi 4.0

• Patching VMware ESXi

  So, I recently discovered that my VMware ESXi running ESXi 5.5.0 version 1331820 build number (ESXi 5.5.0 GA). Now, I know that there are a few fixes that have been released, ESXi550-201410001 is the most recent, because as far as I know. It would be convenient to patch, also if this is the case, can I just go what version I am now, download the recent patch and install directly, or is there a few required required fixes before. Active and important virtual machines running on hosts that I would be "patching" it may be closed, but it would be really bad if the patch to cause problems for causing problems for VMS host.

  I'm new to this, as I have never "patched" before ESXi. I guess I can use this (KB VMware: installation of patches on an ESXi host from the command-line 5.x ) as the documentation on how to install those.

  Thanks in advance!

  Yes, the ESXi patches are cumulative.

  Please read this blog post from VMware:are cumulative patches ESXi | VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs

  Network configuration / routing / two network interface cards / NAT - leased / dedicated Dell R210 running VMware ESXi 5.1.0 build-799733

  Hello

  I'm trying to understand how to configure a dedicated server of Dell R210 rented running VMware ESXi 5.1.0 build-799733

  This dedicated server is rented www.online.net and sits somewhere in France. One of its network adapters have an IP public 62.210.177.20x. The other NIC is here, but I do not understand how it is configured. According to the www.online.net portal, the other NETWORK card has or should have an IP 10.90.116.20x. And I am obviously set up is to have some virtual machines running and be able to access the Internet. I have access to the console of the server Dell through iDRAC and since I could see, one of the network adapters in the IP is 62.210.177.20x defined, and the other has been shown out of service. I managed to make it appear the other interface but I cannot find anywhere how to assign the IP address 10.90.116.20x to this 2^nd network adapter. But then again I don't even know if I should or if I need to assing a IP address to this 2^nd network adapter. What is the cable connected even for this 2^nd NIC? I do not know. Should it be - I'm not either. I don't know French and manuals/instructions on www.online.net are in French. I can try an online translator, but I don't think that what I'm looking for is explained. How do I get this set up? I have to do something about the ESXi on the server console? This interface 2^nd should be in place, or it must be down as if it was originally? Yesterday after watching someone videos on YouTube, I added the second virtual switch and moved the virtual hosts of this switch 2 and he entrusted the 2^nd NIC. But that 2^nd NIC had a red X next to it probably indicating that it was disconnected the 2^nd form virtual switch. Today and now I have managed to access the ESXi console server through iDRAC, I bring the 2^nd NIC, and now both network adapters are assigned to the virtual switch 1^st . But I think that a NIC should be attributed to a single switch and the other card NETWORK on the 2^nd switch. I'm just a desktop guy with enough knowledge to be dangerous J if you / someone put in steps how and where to set them up it... PLEASE

  Thanks in advance

  Network configuration

  • VMware vSphere Hypervisor is an "operating system" for pure virtualization and support NAT or routing. Therefore, only a real bridge configuration can be used.
  • To use a subnet additional IP must be configured as a router VM.

  If I understand the above, I need to show some VM and set up as a router? If the virtual machine that will act as a router must have two network interfaces, where it is connected to a switch and the other to the other switch network card. Am I do? The YouTube video that suggested, but I thought that maybe / somehow ESXi can route packets between the two network cards, but from what I read, ESXi can route packets. Do I need to order an additional / extra / 2nd IPv4 address so that it can be assigned to the interface of the router?

• ESXi 5.1 VM running extremely slow after a power failure

  Help, our virtual machines are run at a crawl since a power outage a few days ago. Everything seems to be in good shape.

  Host is DL385 G7, 12 Dual core AMD, 48 GB memory, data store local storage (4) SAS 600 GB is running in RAID 10 for a total of 1.2 GB

  I turned off these 3 for now hoping to free up resources (doesn't help anything).

  Memory and CPU use is nothing more than normal. It is sufficient that the virtual machine is so slow to the point where they are almost unusable (block-by-block refresh screens)

  Each client computer is a thin client, and they often lose communication for 10-20 seconds each time, I do not know due to timeouts.

  If the screenshots of the content of the folder of the virtual machine, or anything else would be helpful, let me know.
