VMware ESXi monitoring

Hi all

does anyone have experience with followed Bigbrother to host VMware ESXi?

In particular, I am interested monitor consumption of resources (CPU, memory, data warehouses) ESXi hosts.

I am happy to receive any information about this topic:

-experience in general

-scripts

-Links to the already existing scripts or documentation

- ....

Best regards

Stefan

Hello Stefan,

There is an existing extension that accomplishes what you want and it can be found at http://communities.quest.com/docs/DOC-5658 - I have not implemented this myself, but I've heard other users that it works very well. Let us know if this is consistent with what you are looking for, and we would be happy to help you with questions of integration.

Best,

John McNelly

  • 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.

    You can find all downloads for VMwre to https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/downloads. What you might want to look for are the links "Download trial" to "VMware Workstation" and "VMware vSphere. BTW. is there a reason you ask for older versions?

    For Windows Server, see download Windows Server 2008 R2 Evaluation (180 days) from the official Microsoft Download Center

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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++.

    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.

  • 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.

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