VMWare ESXi 3.5U4 - reboot remove SSH Keys
Hi all
I have a server ESXi I'm SSH'ing to. I have generated a public/private key pair. I know it is not supported... but I have a need to do so. I followed the instructions on the creation of the server's .ssh directory and put the keys in there.
Unfortunately, it seems that, after a restart (initiated through the VI Client), the keys were gone, so that any file that was not part of the original installation. I guess is the expected behavior. But, how is it possible solution so that I can continue to connect to the server without password?
Thank you!
You can added your SSH keys to oem.tgz to keep your changes, take a look at this page: http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/customize_oem_tgz.php

Copy (cloning) a key USB of VMware ESXi
Hi all
I have a question about the copy of a key USB VMware (a USBkey VMware is an IBM option (in fact, any major brand for that matter) supported). Lack of VMware ESXi 5 from a USB key using the UEFI. Recently the USB has renounced us, so we reinstalled VMware ESXi5, installed updates and set up the latter again and everything works again fine, but to save time to stop in the future we would like to keep a copy of the USB on the tablet. Is there an easy way to easily copy this USB?
The following would work? :
1. stop the server
2 boot from a Linux live DVD
3. Insert the USB source
4. Insert the USB of destination
5 open a terminal
6. start: If dd \u003d/dev/sda of = / dev/sdb (after checking admesg | grep like command course)
7. shut down the pc when done
8. replace the USB source on the server
9. starting the server
Is there anyone who has any experience with this?
Yep - that should do it

VMware ESXi 5 of license use key more than once?
I have the intention to have 12 rackmounts running ESXi, I use the free license key over and over again?
Yes. When you sign up for the free hypervisor type license you will be asked on the hosts how you install ESXi (for statistics).

I'm trying to get the BB10 Simulator to work on a VMWare ESXi server. Here's what I've done so far:
- Installed the Simulator on yhe development machine, started VMWare workstation, open the vmx file and downloaded the VM on the ESXi server.
- Disabled 3D acceleration on the machine virtual (on ESX) and selected 'Full touch safe mode' after starting the virtual machine.
At this point, the virtual computer screen displays the IP 'telnet ftp ssh qconn', the axis of the device and the build number.
The next step is to connect the Momentics IDE to this virtual machine.
The Simulator is in need of a vmx file configuration dialog box (likely to run vmware specific commands). In the configuration of ESXi, there is no vmx file.
If I try to connect to the virtual machine by IP address, I need a device password, I did not.
Someone at - it suggestions on what do I do now?
In response to my own question because I found the answer:
Now that I have the IP address, I just follow the steps described in
Because I had never set up a password for the Simulator, I left the empty password field.
Copy-paste the details:
Of your IDE
-Right click on your project in the Project Explorer
-Go to Blackberry tools and click on configure target...
-Click Add new target it... button and enter the IP address of your Simulator in the host name or IP address field, enter your password if you have one then click on finish
To run your application on the Simulator:
-In the Project Explorer view, double click on file bar - descriptor.xml, then click on chip Debug Set button to set the author of the application information.
-Set the configuration of the correct version for the Simulator first by right-clicking on your project and selecting Configurations of Build > Set Active > 4 Simulator-Debug.
-In the Project Explorer view, right-click the project and select build project.
-Right click on the project again, and then select run as > BlackBerry Application C/C++.

Hello. I recorded and downloaded VMWare ESXi and VSphere about 2 months ago and got it running on our server.
Today when I logged with VSphere, he said the trial period is over and I need to get a license.
I connected to VMWare and checked the download link of VSphere with the binaries for 5.5.0 ESXI and VSphere 5.5.0 and told me that I had not registered for the product.
I signed up for the product and the files were available and I also saw the license key at the top of the download area.
I copied the license key and went to VSphere, connected to my ESXi and click on Configuration, feature under license and change.
I Clicked New Assign will authorize and pasted the license key in the box and click ok.
Then I clicked OK to close the "assign license Dialog", but it came with and error "an error occurred during the license specified key assignment: license is not valid for this product".
I tried several times and have not been able to apply the license.
Help, please!
Check if you used the appropriate license key. Make sure that you do not vcenter licenses for Esxi host. Error message clearly indicates that the license key is not valid for this product...
Kind regards

Best practice is to remove the network from the VM. then remove this VM network
Recreate the motion switch and the VMotion porgrgroup

Upgrade VMWare ESXi VMware vSphere Hypervisor 4.0.0
Hello
Is it possible to upgrade 398348 for the new VMware vSphere Hypervisor, the free version of VMWare ESXi 4.0.0?
How would I go all upgrade without losing the virtual machines that are currently in the data store?VMware ESXi hypervisor and share binaries of same exact. It is only the license key that locks or unlocks various features. Then switch between editions is basically just replace the license key.
Because the binaries are the same for all editions, for example the 4.1 version update procedure is the same too. Just follow the link DSTAVERTS the Guide to upgrade (search for vihostupdate).

The upgrade of the host, VMware ESXI 4.1
Hello
I am running a host VMware ESXi 4.1. It seems that VMware claims now this product VMware vSphere Hypervisor (am I right?). Was it a name change purely marketing, or they introduce new functions as well? Is VSphere Hypervisor a more recent version of ESXi
Is there a tool to upgrade VMware ESXi 4.1 for newer versions (no matter if their output yet or not, just wondering about the upgrade in general)?
Thanks in advance!
Don't worry, it's all the same. You have the same binary files for all editions of ESXi, it is only the license key that locks or unlocks features. I think that the main reason why VMware decided to call ESXi free edition "Hypervisor" was because many people were confused that ESXi is free or not.
There are two upgrade options ESXi. For the first, you must have a licensed version of vCenter Server, which offers the "Update Manager". The second is to use the command line utility "vihostupdate".
In addition, you can take a look at http://www.vm-help.com/esx41/Patching_4.1_with_the_host_update_utility.php

Problem the appliance USB VMware ESXi 4.0.0-4.1.0
Dear Sir
I have a problem for my server to recognize USB devices.
VMware ESXi is installed 4.0.0 and 4.1.0 and in both cases, these devices don't notrecognize me.
The machines that I tested on Windows Server 2003, 2008 and even Linux and there nocase.Any solution or idea?
Best regards
Sebastian
I had the same problem. You will also notice that there is no power to the USB
Look at these two links:
http://www.VM-help.com/esx40i/VMDirectPath/fix_config_issues.php
http://www.VM-help.com/esx40i/VMDirectPath/USB_Setup.php
NB NB NB: the host chipset must support the passthrough option
After you have added all of my usb devices and after a reboot, my local host console was frozen and I could not access anything whatsoever. I did a repair and everything went quickly up and running and will now add each device for passthrough successively. (you will need to reboot the host after addind devices)

VMware ESXi 4.1.0 and snapshot problem - no disk space
Hi all
We now have a big problem with our free space on the disk. We are using VMware vSphere (vSphere Client ver 4.1.0 and VMware ESXi ver 4.1.0):
Our vm has 2 HDD (500 GB, 1 TB). Now we have only 20 GB of free disk 1 and several snapshot files. To remove the snapshot, we need more than 20 GB of free space (corect?). What we need to do more free space? We can move snapshot files from the first disk to the second disk?
Thanks for any help
concerning
Dragan
First of all, you can redirect your new snapshot on another store/disk as explained in this article "http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1002929".
Secondo, you can delete snapshot older and smaller but not all together as explained in this article by Duncan Epping "http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2008/01/07/delete-all-snapshots/."
