  Hello

  In ESXi 4.1 you cannot save core dump to the remote server but with vSphere VMware 5 provide you it the feature to save the dump to the remote server.

  check the below article from core dump configuration in vSphere 5

• 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 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/."

• Change the HARD disk in VMWare ESXi 3 Server

  Hi all

  I'm new in the Comunnity. I have the following problem:

  I have a Dell PowerEdge 2950 III with six 7.2 K rpm HDs in RAID 5 running VMWare ESX 3i in an internal USB unit. In this server, I have a virtual machine running a mail server. I have problems of performance of disks in servers and we will change the discs on 15 K RPM drive and change the RAID 10 RAID level. I activated the SSH in VMWare ESXi and my question is: is it possible to copy the virtual machine using Winscp or other method forders, rebuilt my RAID, and then copy these files to VMWare again?

  I'would want to know your suggestions on this matter.

  Thank you very much and best regards,

  Amedina

  You may need to use "add to inventory" since the UUID will be different on the store of data on disks. If we then open the data store with and navigate to the virtual machine. Right click and Add. You answer that you move them.

• Is there anyway around this limitation? -> Clustering on disks, iSCSI (VMware ESXi)

  This is in the article (http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40_u1/vsp_40_u1_mscs.pdf): Setup for Microsoft Cluster Service and Failover Clustering

  Environments and the following features are not taken in charge for the setup of MSCS in this version of vSphere:

  • Clustering on iSCSI and NFS FCoE disks.

  Is this in any way about this?

  I would like to create a simple 2-node, Windows 2008 active/passive cluster in VMware ESXi using my FAS2020 iSCSI solution.

  Thanks for your time in advance!

  As I said earlier. Treat your virtual machines and physical and use the iSCSI initiator in the operating system.

• adding additional disks to existing VMWare ESXi host

  If I have a VMWare ESXi host that has 2 disks configured in Raid 1 and later add more than 3 drives and configure these 3 drives in Raid 5, will host VMWare ESXi what to see and be able to use it without any settings?

  You may need to perform a new crawl, but there should be no problem. Make sure that your RAID 5 array is broken into less than 2 TB LUN. (2 TB less 512Bytes)

• How to analyse the core dump generated by the user application

  My user application developed for ESXi 5.5 occasionally generates signal SIGSEGV, causing in turn core dump generated.

  I used this command to enable the generation of core dump in the directory/var/core.

  / sbin/vsish EI configuration/userworld/global/coreDumpEnabled 1

  After dump generated, I tried using esxcfg-dumppart to extract the logs of information, according to this link http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1006796

  But it seems that this tool is intended only to analyze the kernel image.

  / var/core # esxcfg - dumppart - L appdump - zdump.000

  Error running command. Failed to retrieve the log. Cannot find a valid dump VMKernel file. Partition of discharge can be uninitialized.

  Is it possible to analyse the core dump generated by application "userland" in ESXi 5.

  Thank you

  Arun

  Hi arunkrish,

  OK, this tool (esxcfg-dumppart) is exclusively for the extraction of a file readable to vmkerneltext - zdumps.  The recommended method for the guest operating system dumps review is vmss2core which gives you the news crashdump desired in a format readable by the debugger for the OS in question asked.  As I understand it, the * zdump.000, * zdump.001, etc., are questions of trapping in the VM (i.e. rather than the GS) level.

  I think that only VMware support can read these basic gos/vmx dumps that you are trying to review (I hope I'm wrong).  However, you can try your luck opening them in a debugger pro such as IDA Pro (speculation).  They have a free trial version.

• Driver RAID for Vmware ESXi 5.1 on Dell R420.

  My project is to install Vmware ESXi 5.1 on a Dell R420 with Raid1 configuration. The question I have after configuring raid1 in raid utility is created using the, I launch the installation of Vmware ESXi 5.1. 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.

  I did some research but nothing seems to help resolve this issue.

  Thank you

  Sheriff.

  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).

  Thank you guys for you answer and who helped me

• LSI MegaRAID Storage Manager on VMware ESXi 4.0

  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

  7. type the following command to decompress the package gunzip MSM_linux_installer - 501.01.tar.gz

  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

  
  

  If not could someone please advise on how to proceed with the installation and troubleshooting

  Please find the file of errors as attaché

  
  

  Greatly appreciate your help

• Installation of VMware ESXI 6 in my server

  Hi all

  I have a server that I have configured with raid 1 using the disk on the Server utility.

  When I try to install VMWare ESXI on the server, in the part of the selection of the disk to install the ESXY appears only the physical disks and not the virtual drives configured in table mode. What should I do?

  Concerning

  Milton Aguiar

  You are probably using some (aka 'false') 'software' edge RAID controller. These controllers require additional driver software to work. However, VMware supports only the real hardware RAID controllers, which are transparently logical volumes to the OS. Unless your hardware provider offering dedicated to ESXi drivers (HP as much I know as fact for some of theit controllers of Type B) you may not use the RAID on board.

• Drive HARD physics add to VMware ESXi 5.1

  I came across a configuration of a Dell Power Edge ii one T110 Server VMware ESXi 5.1

  
  

  It was built not by me, I found it here. I came across the need to increase the storage of VMware, but I need to add a new physical HARD disk.

  
  

  I'm afraid to make any changes to the system, because there is no backup found for the virtual machine.

  
  

  If I stop the physical machine and connect the additional HARD disk, how can I declare to the VMware, in order to define the backup of the virtual machine?

  
  

  Thank you in advance.

  
  

  Sincerely, George I.
  

  When you restart the server, you should see an option to create a matrix of storage before the ESXi begins to start up (this option is available for almost all servers and appears between POST process and startup). Select the option and create a RAID 0 array on second HARD drive. Start the ESXi server after that. You have to be sure that the second HDD is not in use or it will be formatted.

  When the ESXi has started, go to Configuration-> Storage-> rescan all. After the news of the analysis is complete, go to storage add and you should see the table that you just created. After you have added storage, it will be visible as a the ESXi data store.

  Let me know how it went.

• 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.
