• The Vcops error (VMware-vcops - 5.8.0.0 - 1448123 - vapp.ova) on VMware ESXi (VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 5.5.0 - 1331820.x86_64.iso)

  Hi all

  I am a novice in this area and to learn.

  I installed VMware ESXi 5.5 in one of my machine and it works through VMware player. Am also able to connect to VMware ESXi 5.5 via Vsphere Client 5.5 on my machine. Through my research on the internet I found that vCenter Server is required only when we have the large number of ESXi to manage (correct me if I'm wrong). In my case, I have only one. Therefore, I have not installed vCenter Server.

  Now, I want to deploy vCops with VMware ESXi 5.5 5.8. But while deploying OVF template(VMware-vcops-5.8.0.0-1448123-vapp.ova), I get the following error.

  

  My understanding above is correct or am I missing something obvious?

  Hi RizQad,

  According to the guidelines of the screenshot, you connect directly to the host ESXi 192.168.0.49 and the error is reported through the OVF vCOPs. It's expected, because the ESXi host do not understand the purpose of vAPP, as explained in my initial comment.

  You need to connect to your IP vCVA i.e. 192.168.0.51 using the vSphere client and then import the OVF vCOPs.

  Let me know if you still experience this issue.

  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?

• How to span multiple LUNS on one (or less) data store (s) in Vmware ESXi 4.1 vSphere environment?

  Hey guys -.

  I currently have 2 hosts ESXi (version 4.1u3), 1 vCenter Server and 1 EMC VNXe3300 SAN (20 to via iSCSI) that make my virtual environment.

  On the EMC is, you create VMware Datastores (which have a limit of 2 TB) then connect these data storage to VMware ESXi hosts.  Once logged in, would continue it the process through the Add Storage Wizard via VMware to connect the disk/LUN storage via iSCSI.  Ultimately, the Lun (s) would then be accessed through the virtual environment (in the Configuration > storage > data warehouses) as generally expected.

  Due to the limit of 2 TB (both on the CEM, Version of VMware and VMFS3) on data warehouses, I find myself with having several data warehouses being created on the side of the EMC and VMware (see photo) appearance.  I know that's not rectifiable via CEM level, but I was wondering if there was any way for me to bring together all these data stores on the side of things VMware.  This way rather than navigate to Configuration > storage > data warehouses and separate iSCSI indicator 6 data warehouses, it would just be a (or more, but less than the existing) data store; It would then extend in all actual data stores that I would.

  I don't know what the appropriate terminology is used to describe it, but I hope someone can help me to what I want to achieve.  Or at the very least, can you please steer me in the right direction.  If this isn't something that can be achieved or it is discouraged, what are the other options which would be recommended?

  Thanks for the help.

• Problem with the start of VMware ESXi 5.0

  I just installed VMware ESXi 5.0 on a new Cisco UCS B200 series blade with two 300 GB hard drives configured in a RAID 1 mirror.  I went through and completed the installation of VMware ESXi 5.0 on this server.  When the installation is complete and the server restarted, he did not initiate the ESXi where I can change the IP address and VLAN.  Instead, I get this text string after the initial boot sequence that is shown in the attachment.  I have a guest who said Shell > do not know why I can not start correctly in ESXi 5.0.  Thank you!  Paul

  Hi Paul,.

  Looks like you boot to the EFI shell. What is the startup policy that you have configured on this server service profile? It should look like the one below.  If there is a problem with the boot order, you should be able to type "EXIT", then enter on the EFI shell to exit the prompt. If your startup is similar to the one below and you still experience this issue, try to downgrade and re - ack the blade.

  Let me know if it helps.

  

• 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.

• VMWare ESXi host AutoDeploy profile questions 5.1

  All,

  Our Organization has just bought a UCS configuration, and we are working to build on the new system. I have scoured the internet looking for a potential solution, but have not found. We get the following operation:

  VM Auto deployment server

  ESXi PXE boot process

  Set of rules that applies the profile of home on the connection with the vCenter

  We are experiencing a problem where when a host is added to the vCenter, the location of the swap of our host profile file does not apply (the swap file is on a data store that is also configured in the profile of the host). In addition, the vNIC for our vSwitches configuration has two network adapters for standby on all 3 vSwitches. The configuration is the following: two vNIC by switch, the expected host profile configuration is set to active, active. Each vNIC for each vSwitch is on a separate side of the UCS fabric (a and b). Cards network to view DHCP addresses assigned in ranges appropriate for all configurations, but the vNIC is intelligence rather than active, active.

  If more information would help to understand this issue, I am happy to provide.

  Thanks in advance.

  Apparently, it's a known issue:

• VMware ESXi 5.0 full update 1

  Hello

  I use VUM and attached to a base called "Critical fixes to host" line to my esxi host (I have only one 441354 5.0.0).
  

  But when I do a scan I respect 'Missing' in the two plots
  "VMware ESXi 5.0 full update 1"
  "Updates the vib basic esx VMware ESXi 5.0 '

  So I can't do the patch/upgrade update.

  Y at - it something I am doing wrong?

  /JJ

  

  You will need to add another host in the cluster or V2P your instance of vCenter to a physical host.

• VMware ESXi does not support the RAID on HP Proliant ML110 G5 drives

  Hello

  I installed VMware ESXi on my HP Proliant ML110 G5. I got 3 hard drives on my server at the moment, one of them is VMware ESXi and other two are RAID1.
  Whenever I connect to my server via vSphere client I have the chance to see every HARD drive (datastore) separately.  Is it possible that VMware does not RAID installation?
  I would need to see these two hard drives as a data store. Do you have any ideas on how I can do?
  Thank you.

  like any other typical server, you need to configure the sata raid controller RAID5/RAID0. but keep in mind that this controller without any battery backed cache would have very horrible performance. Another way is that you can use datastore span to provide as a large store of data, but if you lose all of the computer, you will lose all data.

• How to configure the IP address on VMWare ESXi 3.5

  Hi all.  I installed the VMWare ESXi 3.5 on a test to dedicate

  Server, assign a private IP = 10.10.1.10 to the VMWare box (this box has 2 physical NETWORK card); and then I

  installed the Symantec BrightMail 9.0.2 as a virtual appliance on VMWare ESXi

  3.5 to act as an e-mail gateway.  BrightMail installation goes smooth.  However, I am not in a position

  to connect to the Internet inside BrightMail 9.  I have installed BrightMail for

  have 2 virtual network card.  Network 1 (eth0) got the IP =

  10.10.1.11, network 2 (eth1) got the IP = 82.132.33.45 (real

  public IP address).  With this settig BrightMail virtual machine is able to talk with the other PC in my LAN, howerver, it can't go on the Internet.  My network configuration is as follows:

  A router (Modem, with the public IP address) is directly connected to the VMware computer (the first NETWORK adapter), and then the VMWare (second NETWORK card) connects to a switch where other LAN PC also connects to.

  My question is,

  1. from BrightMail runs on top of the

  VMWare, how can I BrightMail to connect to the Internet and to the

  Moreover, it connects to my LAN?  Currently the machine has VMWare a

  10.10.1.10 private IP assigned address.

  I'm a bit confuse about the settings of the network on the VMWare itself (I'm not the network

  Guy).  Any suggestion is weclomed.  Thank you.

  the observed range, vmnic0 resembles your DMZ LAN and vmnic1 is your LAN (172.x.x.x) you can check you have the right cable to the correct port?

  then you are supposed not combined two NICs in a single portgroup. you will need to do vmnic0 as a new vswitch with new portgroup named DMZ Lan and change that in the virtual network adapter machine virtual 2 to use the DMZ LAN as the virtual switch.

• Path to upgrade VMware ESXi Management Kit

  I am interested in the offer of VMware ESXi Management Kit, but want to know if it will work with our plans for the future. I am particularly interested in the vCenter Foundation to allow us to track the performance of the server.

  At the moment we have an ESXi server and could get a second in the near future. End of the year, however, we plan to invest in standard with HA or possibly Enterprise with VMware vMotion. That we will be able to use the Foundation of this package vCenter in this future configuration? The host licenses are only for ESXi and we will have to buy new ones? If we do not upgrade vCenter or host is a way of evolution at discount prices or we will have to buy new ones?

  Budget is a problem then if we cannot reuse this in our final configuration so I won't be able to justify the cost.

  Thank you.

  vCenter Foundation lets you connect an ESX host 6CPU value.  Is not serious ESXi or ESX.  If you use two connectors boxes, then as soon as you add a 4th host computer, you will need to update your vCenter license.  There is a reference number which allows a foundation upgrade to vCenter Standard.  What it is offhand, I don't know, but your dealer can help you with that.

  In regard to 'free' with vCenter ESXi usage, you can not.  You must register (at least) Foundation for each ESX/ESXi host, you want to manage via vCenter.  Pay the $995 (list price) gets you the "VirtualCenter Agent" that is needed to connect to vCenter.  Note: You can install ESXi, play with it for as long as you want, but once you want to attach to vCenter, you will need the license... but there is No change to the ESXi host... you just load the license file in vCenter and you'll be all set.

  Hope that helps!

• R710/R720 - Dell customized Image of VMware ESXi 5.5 Update 2 - megaraid_sas version specific?

  That I improve a R710 and two v5.5 (Dell image) to v5.5 U2 ESXi ESXi R720 using the image of Dell here:

  www.dell.com/.../DriversDetails

  The documentation "Upgrade Guide to ESXi 5.5 using Dell customized Image" here:

  www.Dell.com/.../manuals

  indicates that a specific version of the megaraid_sas driver must be installed.

  Is the version megaraid_sas that installs with the image of Dell U2 v5.5 not the right version?

  I just ran the upgrade on a R710 and it's the megaraid_sas version installed:

  ~ # vmkload_mod s megaraid_sas | grep Version
  Version: Version 06.803.73.00, build: 1331820, Interface: 9.2 inspired: August 22, 2014

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It lists the R720 and R710 systems supported and both link to the same page, so the customized version is the same for both servers. Is the version listed in the reference guide for A02

  megaraid_sas - 06.803.73.00

  Page 5 ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_software/esuprt_virt_solutions/vmware-esxi-5_Reference%20Guide6_en-us.pdf

  This is the same version that he shows for your installation on the R710 so that seems correct.

What is ESXi 5.1 sees not the raid1 partition but rather see two disks as are they worn can't in raid1 configurations.

  I need to have this in raid1 config, can any who share an idea about my problem please or point me in the right direction.

  Sorry for my previous response:

  DELL-Daniel My - when I boot in the BIOS of the controller, I see the raid in a raid1 configuration.

  Mgr dev you are right, I did research more when you all answered. I see the PERC S110 pilot was a software raid controller and thus the vmware esxi wouldn't work in a raid configuration 1 (software raid).

• BB10 Simulator on Vmware ESXi

  I'm trying to get the BB10 Simulator to work on a VMWare ESXi server. Here's what I've done so far:

  1. Installed the Simulator on yhe development machine, started VMWare workstation, open the vmx file and downloaded the VM on the ESXi server.
  2. 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

  http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/native-development/BB10-native-Cascades-SDK-not-connecting-to...

  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++.
