  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.

• Hyper-v 2008 R2 for Vmware ESXI 5.5 problem

  Hello world

  We are migrating to Vmware ESXI with HP 3PAR storage we have some important servers as vms on Microsoft Hyperv 2008 R2, I downloaded and installed the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client on the host Microsoft hyper-v connected to the localmachine as administrator and also to define the credentials of esxi distance everything works fine until it blocks 33% retried the process several times but without success , I collected the log, if I understand correctly this is something related to timeout or something maybe someone clears me on the issue, thanks a lot

  also a question should I try to install the stand-alone converter on each virtual machine, hyper v or should I install on the computer host and make the conversion?

  is it possible to make the conversion without turning off the virtual machines?

  Thanks in advance

  You do not need to install the converter on each machine, only the converter agent, which is installed automatically when it is not found on the destination computer.

• Impossible to apply license in VMWare ESXi 5.5.0 after the expiration of the evaluation period

  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

• 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.

• Patching VMware ESXi

  So, I recently discovered that my VMware ESXi running ESXi 5.5.0 version 1331820 build number (ESXi 5.5.0 GA). Now, I know that there are a few fixes that have been released, ESXi550-201410001 is the most recent, because as far as I know. It would be convenient to patch, also if this is the case, can I just go what version I am now, download the recent patch and install directly, or is there a few required required fixes before. Active and important virtual machines running on hosts that I would be "patching" it may be closed, but it would be really bad if the patch to cause problems for causing problems for VMS host.

  I'm new to this, as I have never "patched" before ESXi. I guess I can use this (KB VMware: installation of patches on an ESXi host from the command-line 5.x ) as the documentation on how to install those.

  Thanks in advance!

  Yes, the ESXi patches are cumulative.

  Please read this blog post from VMware:are cumulative patches ESXi | VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs

• Network configuration / routing / two network interface cards / NAT - leased / dedicated Dell R210 running VMware ESXi 5.1.0 build-799733

  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?

• VMWare ESXi under Virtual Box tests

  Hi all

  Just installed VMWare ESXi under VirtualBox with a free license to evaluate it before you consider moving my XCP it based VMs. However, after installation I can't pull up a single VM.

  I just create a 32-bit VM Debian base and fixed the Debian netinstall ISO on the CD player. However, when I try to turn on the virtual machine, it runs for a few seconds before turning off.

  I have attached the log file.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  The vmmcores.gz file shows that the EFER. The SCE bit is clear.  What explains the illegal opcode exception.  However, I don't see how EFER. CES has got to be clear.  What version of VirtualBox do you use?

• 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.

• With ISA Server 2006 on VMWare ESXi

  Hello

  I installed isa server 2006 on a vmware esxi, server is the Server Blade HP Proliant dl380 G5 with 2 NIC the 1st network adapter, the ip address is 10.10.1.42, and it will be the external ip address because it is connected to the firewall with internet. The 2nd NIC ip is 10.10.1.43 and this is the only internally. I tried to test the connection to the isa by creating a rule to ping of localhost (isa) in-house, but it failed.

  I wanted to just my isa to be a web proxy, but from what I've read on some forums, I can not install isa on vmware? Can someone help me? Thank you.

  If you are running firewall ISA in ESXi host. It is doable. I guess it will be a unique Web cache system (no Firewall Advanced)

  This can be done on a unihomed Server (NETWORK card)

• 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.
