• 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)

• Recently added that in environment VMware ESXi hosts do not appear

  I'm running worm vFoglight 6.7. recently, I added 2 new 5.1 ESXi host and 2 data stores into my vsphere cluster. These new fabrics do not appear in vfoglight under dash VMware environment. I tried to update the server vCenter added by re activating the latter. Without success. Could someone help me how to get it to update.

  Give a washer, they can probably find what is happening and turn it on.  It is very rare that I've ever seen an upgrade fails or not be able to recover the worst of him.

• VMware ESXI host Client is not compatible with the Ipad

  Hi all

  First of all I want to say that I am very happy with the introduction of the ESXI host Client, it's a very good start for not having a vSphere client to be installed.

  One thing I was hoping too is compatible with mobile devices, for example, an IPad. Unfortunately this isn't the case. Not for IOS 8 or 9

  I tried several browsers without a bit of luck.

  There are several problems;

  • The page is not scaling properly
  • The top bar is not visible, you can, for example, sign out
  • The Web page expands when you rotate the page on the iPad horizontally, not having not not able to see the Web page complete.

  I found these problems in Tech Preview, build 2015.08.25.3015331 combined with ESXI 6 with the latest patch

  Kind regards

  Hi Marcel,.

  Thanks for pointing out these problems. We have made a few improvements wrt. support iPad in the last version of the adventure. Could you update and let me know how it goes?

• replaceable drives a VMware ESXi host running hot?

  In theory, it is completely safe delete a failing hard drive to a RAID 5 array that support the connection to hot. But is this supported in ESXi 4.1? Can I license the company to this supported?

  I just need the assurance that it's safe swap a failed drive in a RAID 5 array on a physical server supported hot when it runs always ESXi 4.1 without having to shut it down.

  Thank you!

  In theory, it is completely safe delete a failing hard drive to a RAID 5 array that support the connection to hot. But is this supported in ESXi 4.1? Can I license the company to this supported?

  Hello

  Yes, it is safe to remove if your controller supports hot, your ESXi has nothing to support because your RAID controller is responsible to rebuild your RAID disk faulty no ESXi.

  See you soon

  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.

• Renaming of ESXi hosts to vCloud 5.5 Hosting Manager

  Hello world

  I wanted to know if anyone has experienced problems when you rename the hosts ESXi who is restoring the vCloud Director environment?

  Our names for the Server naming convention has changed and it is now mandatory to rename all VMware ESXi hosts.

  All the information/help will be very appreciated!

  Thank you

  United Nations prepare a crowd of vCD, move it cluster at the data center level, then it reboot.  After that, do all your work in renaming (certs, hostname, IP address management, etc.).  Adding this back in is the reverse... put it in the cluster and prepare it to vCD.

• VMware ESxi 5 Dump

  

  My unexpected server dump. Can someone help me solve this problem

  Hello

  This was caused by a virtual NETWORK adapter in your VM e1000 (e) - change to VMXNET3. See the following KB: KB VMware: VMware ESXi host 5.x undergoes a screen to diagnosis purple mentioning E1000PollRxRing and E1000DevRx

• 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.

• ESXi hosts with VCSA 5.1 patch

  Hello

  I use the 5.1 VCSA in our environment with a mixture of standard and enterprise more 5.1 ESXi hosts.  My question is what are my options to patch (apply the updates of security and minor improvements) as VCUM offers in an environment strictly Windows?

  Thank you

  I know from a normal vSphere Manager installation of update you specify port 80 of the vCenter server. Have you tried this port number?

• 6u2 ESXi host nested on VMware Workstation for Linux referee v12

  Hello all, I have

  I have a lab environment virtual running in VMware Workstation for Linux v12, and my ESXi hosts do not work correctly on one of the virtual networks. All my troubleshooting suggests a problem with nested ESXi hosts that may be a bug, but I want to assure you that I did everything properly first. That's why I post here with the hope that if I made a mistake that maybe someone else can point out he me.

  Physical system

  8 core Intel Xeon 2.1 GHz CPU

  128 GB of RAM

  OS - kernel Linux 64 - bit w/3.19.0-32-generic Linux Mint 17.3 (fully updated from this announcement)

  VMware Workstation 12 Pro - 12.1.1. Build-3770994 (fully updated from this announcement)

  Nested ESXi host VM

  ESXi v6.0.0 (Build 3825889, completely updated from this announcement)

  4 cards 'physical' (only 3 used for now)

  -all use the e1000 NIC hardware virtual, but also tried vmxnet3 NIC with no difference

  -vSwitch0 use vmnic0 & 1 vmnet16 of virtual network in a pair of active / standby

  -vSwitch1 uses vmnic2 on network virtual vmnet18

  -vmk0 used for management on vSwitch0 and vmk1 for iSCSI on vSwitch1

  -"Promiscuous" mode and forged passes enabled on all Port vSwitch groups (activating or turning off these features makes no difference)

  Test performed until now

  I checked that all the IP addresses and network masks used are correct.

  With the help of vmkping I ping other nodes on the network vmnet16 with success.

  With the help of vmkping I tried to ping the other nodes in the network vmnet18, but that has failed.

  I have depolyed other non - ESXi VMs on the vmnet18 network, and they are able to ping each other, but are unable to ping or ping by the ESXI host.

  I tried various material virtual NIC as mentioned before, but without changes in the results.

  I tried to use only local network instead of the vmnet18 guest network segments with no change in results.

  When I find out the status of the network adapters on the ESXi host through vCenter or host incorporated client vmnic0 & 1 time display network information, but vmnic2 shows no networks. Yet, I know that there is a network with different VM communicate on it. Moreover, I was able to get all of this work on a Windows system running 10 Workstation (this is the laptop that my employer gives me with).

  Having built nested ESXi labs on different platforms as well as physical environments in the past, I'm very confused as to why I can't get this special configuration to work. At this point my gut tells me that this is probably a bug any with the nested themselves ESXi hosts. Since I can get all this work on vmnet16 including the management of ESXi hosts and the VCSA that I use, I am sure that my vSwitch configuration is correct (other than the IP address space and vmnic configurations is bascially the same). Because I can get other virtual machines to communicate over the network vmnet18 I don't see how can be a VMware Workstation for the issue physical Linux host. Is there something obvious I'm missing here? I read on the ESXi hosts nested under VMware Workstation after having known problems and bugs with networking. If anyone else has experienced this?

  Thanks for any help others can provide!

  Kind regards

  Well, the problem is now resolved. The problem was what covelli was trying to explain, but I couldn't because the physical host network adapters being mentioned.

  The problem on the Linux host, but it was a problem of permissions with the virtual Ethernet adapters. The following article has the fix:
  With the help of Ethernet virtual cards in Promiscuous Mode on a Linux host (287) | VMware KB

  Even if I launched the workstation under the root user I have yet met this problem and which still makes no sense to me, but change the permissions solve the problem. I was not getting an error message on my Linux Mint and Ubuntu system, but when I tried on a second box of Linux Mint that I just got the error has been generated, and the error message was the above link it contains.

  So, here's what I learned:

  (1) the question has nothing to with a VMware Workstation definition that you can configure.

  (2) the question has nothing to do with a physical network card.
  (3) the question has nothing to do with any vmnic on the nested ESXi host.

  (4) apparently virtual Ethernet adapters are not the correct permissions when created.

  All you have to do to fix this is:

  (1) open a terminal.

  (2) run the command ' sudo chmod a + rw/dev/vmnet * "(don't forget to run this each time that you create a new virtual network).

  You can also create a group, as shown in the link above and simply give this group the correct permissions. Personally, I think it's easier to just give everyone the rw permission.

  I appreciate the help that others have offered. I did not understand what was asked for in previous answers because of the terms that have been used.

• ESXi host profile

  Greetings,

  I'm currently upgrading my 5.1 to 5.5 however ESXi hosts, it is not a rhythm in upgrade more as a new installation since I'm changing some resources on my servers. I create a profile of the host of one of my hosts, but my question is, can I still use the host profile Version 5.1 on version 5.5 hosts?

  Thank you!

  Yes, you can and it works perfectly.  However, if you have any questions you should carefully test this.

• Plan to change VMWare ESXi, but have a few questions

  Use VMWare server, but I'm cosnsidering passage to VMWare ESXi. I have a few simple newbie questions and apologize in advance if they are stupid. I tried myself, but have no spare hardware to do and I would like to clarify this before buying a new compatible server ESXi.

  1. read the communities that I discovered that ESXi does not support the USB storage device. It takes in charge USB devices or it does not support USB? USB ports will work in guest OS?

  2. I also read that it is possible to install and start ESXi on a USB? How is this possible if the USB storage devices are not supported? OK, the BIOS is set to boot from the flash drive, ESXi loads with a RAMDISK, but then does not recognize the device it was loading during the boot process?

  3 is supported media such as sound, 3D graphics cards?

  4 serial ports taken care of?

  5. does a GUI in which it is possible to connect, view and switch guest OS bewtween locally, corner the ESXi server machine, as in VMware server on Linux (with Fire Fox for GUI), or it does not have a GUI at all and is possible to connect to if you use another computer or a terminal to access of the guest OS on ethernet?

  6. I also read that esata disks work properly either, but techincally they SATA drives that are connected outside the chassis, and ESXi notice perhaps, that they aren't on the inside. All devices support SATA, hot by desing so how do drive hard hot and hot-switching connection work in ESXi?

  Thank you.

  1 ESXi does not support the device of USB storage for local data warehouses.  I don't remember the extent to which the guest OSes on ESXi.  I read that USB is only supported network based USB hubs.

  2. you can install ESXi on a USB key and start it.  It does not appear as a store of data however.

  3. I don't see the option for the installation of sound cards and I do not know the support of 3D video cards.

  4. Yes, the serial ports are supported.

  5. do you are unable to view the comments from the host OS console.  If you need to do this you player, Workstation or Server.

  6 ESXi does not support SATA in local storage.  It is possible however to use SATA RAID cards that emulate SCSI (Adaptec 210 X for example).

  ESXi is essentially ESX without the full service console.  Both share the same features and functionality as eachother.  ESXi is smaller, hardened operating system that is not running under Red Hat.
