• Two local options while substituting the attributes in vROPS

  What is the difference between these two premises, one who is with the green check mark and the other with the Red Cross in vROPS options?

  

  The Red Cross turns and the green check mark allows the attribute (the metric is not collected).

• USB 3.0 ESXI 5.5 U2 using Buffalo IFC-PCIE2U3S2 crosses but gets the error

  Hi everyone, hope to get some guidance here.

  I was able to install this card in an ESXi 5.5 U2 (HP ISO Build 2403361) and get it recognized by xhci vmkload_mod running

  I can see my disk adapter SATA ASmedia ASM-1053

  When I add the USB device in my Server R2 2012 I see this in Device Manager:http://i.imgur.com/WBXHNcy.png

  If anyone can help? It is a 'green' Saber USB 3.0 with a WD 2 TB drive attached dock

  Thank you!

  Well, I have solved my problem!

  It turns out that it was the caddy drive itself.

  Chipset inside was not compatible with the installer.

  I used a BlacX Superspeed and it worked perfectly.

• ESXi 4.1 HP DL380G7 NIC cross!

  Hello

  This is my first thread here, and I am fairly new to ESXi and VMware. Have implemented the server into the row object with ESXi 4.1 (Essentials). The machine has 4 integrated network cards and an extra card to card 4 NETWORK ports. Integrated NICS are allocated to virtual machines and works very well.

  Meanwhile, I managed somehow allow 4 additional ports to pass through. I wonder how I can now assign them to a virtual machine. Directly connected to the virtual-host computer with my vSphere client, nor with the vSphere client connected to my server vCenter (on another machine) I can assign them - they are not in the list of available adapters.

  Anyone with a Tip 4 me?

  Thanks in advance, Dirk

  Hopefully this kb should work for you.

• ESXi 5.5 cannot detect the Hitachi storage

  Hello experts,

  Only, I installed fresh ESXi 5.5u3 and connect to the HUS110 of Hitachi storage.

  I've already set up parts depending on HUS110 connect SAN switch and HBA on the server also. I think it's very good.

  But after that ESXi can always detect not LUN HUS110 (2 TB) to add storage implements. (Add storage is empty)

  Do I have to install several add-on HUS110 on ESXi. If so, what is the add-on do?

  The output, it shows that ESX HBA is able to connect to the storage. Looks so good on both ESX and zoning. Can you please confirm the following

  1. storage side, is the lun masking is done correctly. Are the LUNS mapped to the same esx host (cross check the WWNS)

  2. is it possible to create a small lun, say 5 GB and check if the logical unit number is visible on the side esx. 2 TB is a limit and that there could be some problem with storage or driver

  3 can you post the output of "list of claimrule of esxcli store.

• ESXi 6 - unable to connect the USB device to VM

  Hi people:

  I have a problem with a specific USB 3 device to try to connect to a virtual computer.  The device is a Toshiba USB 3 5 TB hard drive, and it is recognized by ESXi I see when I do a lsusb command, but it is never offered as a choice available to connect to a virtual computer.  I tried to restart management agents, restart ESXi with the connected device so that it is immediately detected at startup.  I tried using the web client to vcenter server appliance and the native client C.  She just never appears as a choice just as if it is not there.  Other USB 3 devices, including a Startech gigabit network device and another 2 TB Toshiba USB drive appear as a choice, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with USB 3 devices as a whole.  I have connected to other computers and even an Arch Linux VM under the same ESXi which has a Startech USB 3 connected via PCI Passthrough controller and it works in all places.  I tried to connect to a USB 2 port just for the heck of it, and I got the same result (invisible to virtual machines) here is what information I have via the newspapers.  I see a few entries on the device being suspended in the vmkernel journal, but I don't know if it is normal for a device until it is assigned to a virtual computer.

  Any ideas what is wrong or how to fix welcome.

  Hi guys, I just had the same issue and it resolved on my test environment.

  I got the device ID using "lsusb".

  Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0480:d011 Toshiba America information. Systems, Inc..

  where 0480:d011 is the device ID

  Then ran the following command:

  oddities s esxcfg-module = 0480:d011:i usb-storage

  After a reboot I was able to cross the device for my VMs.

  I'm not an expert in this field, as far as I can understand of this thread: problem mit USB Passthrough (eine andere nicht, geht HDD) - to vSphere5 / ESXi 5.0 5.1 - VMware Forum und "usb-storage" module crashes when you try to access the drive and does not pass through to the arbitrator of the usb. The person in this thread turns off the usb storage but I boot from USB and so I couldn't do it. Steal the idea of this thread: zero calorie tech deals: VMFS formatted USB sticks in VMware vSphere 5.1 I could exclude the USB from the usb-storage module device (I think).

  I have not tested how this affects other features, but initial test is positive.

• What metrics to use for memory capacity planning? Active or consumed (in request or use vROPS)

  Hey all,.

  I was wondering once more what metrics to use for memory capacity planning. Since the information from different sources (for example your ESXi host needs more RAM to Iwan Rahabok or VMworld 2012: Session VSP1729 - virtualized memory understanding performance management - Eric Sloof - NTPRO.NL Kit Colbert) pointing all assets (vROPS request), I expect that when we have high memory consumption / use in vCenter there will be no balloon / compression / permutation.

  Also the metric active / request should not be used for all workloads (e.g. Java / DB), why is - this? I have not found the reason of this anywhere, only the fact.

  Other sources such as Mark Achtemichuk suggests using consumed/use, which is the opposite (Understanding Active Memory - VMware vSphere Blog - Articles VMware vSphere).

  So I thought I'll with active / demand as metric and ignoring the warnings inside of vCenter.

  But the last time we have fixed half of our group, we had consumed/high memory usage and the vCenter began to inflate, compress, and finally to Exchange. Not a lot but I had not expected that, because memory active was only a small percentage of consumed.

  Can someone explain to me why this happened and who is right on this issue.

  Kind regards

  jengl

  jengl I don't know if you asked the wrong question, or I give the wrong answer :-)

  It is always good to attach screenshots, background to the issues, and what exactly you are trying to solve.

  You wrote:

  So to summarize:

  -ESXi uses consume to decide when to start the recovery techniques of memory RAM

  -To rightsize VMs for RAM, you must use the counter inside the BONE, not active

  -If you do not want to commit too much RAM and have a lot of the balloon you should right-size your virtual machines or extend the RAM / buy additional servers

  Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  My answer: you are right. If you do not have access to the guest operating system, then Active VM and VM consumed are better guess. Better than nothing :-)

  Sizing sizing of VM and ESXi are 2 different things (2 use cases) different. Please don't mix up the as soon as they are confusing. Do not try to resize the virtual machine when you are sizing the ESXi, unless you have a control total on them.

  You wrote:

  The question for me is: how many cache (standby under Windows) inside the VM is really necessary for the virtual machine to get the best performance without wasting resources. Perhaps this issue can be resolved only by tests or do you know another option?

  My answer: it's a different topic brother :-) It is different, because it is within a guest operating system (Windows in this case) and is no longer at the level of the ESXi. Suggest that post you another, possibly under Windows or vSphere too :-)

• vROPs 6.2 VM Tags gone

  vROPs 6.1 had all my tags VM and excellent work.  I used the label s VM by customer tags and generated a report for billing using the tags so invoicing could verify that the configuration of the VM equal bills.  (I know, Chargeback Manager, don't ask).  Then I upgraded to 6.2 and vSphere Tags (summary: vSphere Tag) is missing as well as the number of hard drives.

  Environment:

  I got vROPs and made the upgrades on the spot, using the method in the release notes for download files PAK etc..

  12/11/2015-18:59:20 logbuildversion Build Version: VMware vCenter Operations Manager 6.1.0 build 3037951

  29/01/2016-17:22:13 logbuildversion Build Version: VMware vCenter Operations Manager 6.2.0 build 3445399

  11/02/2016-12:22:26 logbuildversion Build Version: VMware vCenter Operations Manager 6.2.0 build 3528867

  Two vCenters monitored by vROPs.  A version 6.0 build 3339083 and the other 5.5 build 1945274 (don't ask)

  19 guests (ESXi versions 5.0, 5.1, 5.5, 6.0 majority a couple U1a tests)

  Approximately 215 active VM of depending on the day.

  Diagnosis and symptoms:

  VMS with tags are on the vCenter 6 environment running on 10 hosts with 3 different versions of ESXi 5.5 - 2302651, 3248547 - 5.5 & 6.0 - 3380124

  The report does not show the tags so it eliminates the problems of browser of the equation.

  I tried to wait longer to see if the data just had to be re-populated.

  I have validated that vSphere adapters were always recorded and work.

  Changes which are reflected in the report as the assignments of vCPU and vRAM day assignments in a reasonable amount of time so data are from VMS with success.

  I found this thread: Re: not seeing vSphere tags when you create custom in vROps groups

  I have times restarted the device & recheck policies are set to collect the tags of vSphere

  I have validated the tags are still on the virtual machines in question according to vCenter

  I tried to create a group using tags as the user in the forum, "load more" does not have records of all

  I tried to create a new view, but using 'vSphere world' for the sample data had the same result.

  I see nothing shocking in the newspaper collector.

  Any other ideas or thoughts in addition to one for the opening with the support?

  Thank you.

  I finally got a case of opening time and I got the answer on the tags specifically

  Support:

  "It is generally solved using first the account [email protected] to register the adapter vSphere in vRealize Operations Manager... just restart the collector service to see if the tags come in."

  The problem is vCenter 6 changed the location of the tags and permissions to access this area.  vROPs team is working on a fix, but there is still no ETA on this patch.  Change the credentials back to the SSO administrator to get permissions.  If, like me, you use a service account, you will need to create a custom role (if you don't have not one already) and in the role permissions make sure you that you select items in the "Global" category (screenshot attached).  It's not good enough for you to change the credentials.  Something else happens when tags begin just to come.  You need to restart the collector who support done via SSH to my server vROPs and run the command 'service vmware-vcops collectorservice restart '.

  Hope this helps someone else.

  

• ESXi Network Setup?

  Hi people

  I have a question for you guys, maybe it's "s too bad for you, but I am quite unsure of what follows. If I have an ESXi server with an edge quadport NIC and I have a Cisco switch with spanning tree active what happens when I:

  Set all 4 ports on the switch, create a vSwitch standard on the ESXi and attach all 4 cards active network with political LB "based on the original Port ID.

  Based on my understanding he will distribute all my virtual machines in all of these NICs attached and all virtual machines are able to communicate (send AND receive) through these 4 vNIC/NICs. There are toggled a virtual machine which is pinned to a VNIC to an another VNIC when I unplug the specific cable.

  BUT

  My colleagues told me NOT! You will only be able to send data on all cards, but receive vNIC alone due to the MAC source/destination of the virtual machines respectively address the NIC in the host.

  Is this true? Exactelly what this policy process "origin port ID". Because there is additional one called "Mac-based..".

  Often, we set up systems like this:

  A server has 2 x quad port NIC. There is a vswitch with 2 cards attached (initially 1, first on a 2nd map) and we set up "based on the source port ID. Further we do NOT set a battery or an Etherchanne on switches connected to the NICs (via cross).

  How to configure the network (amount of NIC, vSwitches, portgroup assignment, vmotion, etc. and switches)?

  Thank you very much

  What happens when I:

  Set all 4 ports on the switch, create a vSwitch standard on the ESXi and attach all 4 cards active network with political LB "based on the original Port ID.

  Based on my understanding he will distribute all my virtual machines in all of these NICs attached and all virtual machines are able to communicate (send AND receive) through these 4 vNIC/NICs. There are toggled a virtual machine which is pinned to a VNIC to an another VNIC when I unplug the specific cable.

  BUT

  My colleagues told me NOT! You will only be able to send data on all cards, but receive vNIC alone due to the MAC source/destination of the virtual machines respectively address the NIC in the host.

  Is this true? Exactelly what this policy process "origin port ID". Because there is additional one called "Mac-based..".

  It is quite simple, in the default configuration of "based on the original ID Port" each vNIC a VM has only a single active physical uplink at some point in time. This physical NETWORK adapter is used by the host to send as well as receive traffic for this particular vNIC (because your physical switch will learn the VM vNIC MAC on the currently active port only will pass the traffic through this link).

  The distribution is static and only changes when you add/remove/connect/disconnect rising physics or the vNIC (power/power on, disconnect/connect the vNIC). The behavior is the same for the standard vSwitches but also distributed with this policy. You can see the current mapping in the sight of esxtop (r) network:

  

  The route in source option MAC hash function is very similar, but instead of using the internal ID virtual port, it establishes a static mapping based on the MAC address of an Ethernet frame transmitted by a vNIC source. This approach also maintains a static table of MAC on your physical switch to prevent the beating of MAC. A unique vNIC VM traffic will use several ports, if the virtual machine uses several source MAC addresses. Who should never usually happen unless you do some fancy stuff of networking within the virtual machine and multiple virtual interfaces and it means also you must allow forged passes and MAC changes in security of port vSwitch group options. This article summarizes very well:

  Hostile coding: VMware: MAC LB hash function

  A server has 2 x quad port NIC. There is a vswitch with 2 cards attached (initially 1, first on a 2nd map) and we set up "based on the source port ID. Further we do NOT set a battery or an Etherchanne on switches connected to the NICs (via cross).

  We want to only have simpe LB and failover in the event of a path failure. It will work correctly (sending and receiving)? My colleagues told me that will not work as long as the switches are not stacked? Why should it not? My understanding of the VM switch vNIC another that is connected to an another NIC which even once, is connected to another standalone switch.

  Your colleague is wrong, you don't need any special configuration to the ID load balancing mechanism base port. It will work very well with the recovery, due to the static mapping simple explained above. It will be just like plugging a system of one switch on the other (in the same broadcast domain).

  When the wenn must configure "based MAC" or "HASH IP"? Well, I know when configuring "IP pole" then you must implement an Etherchannel between the host and the switch and set the IP hash strategy or you do not have the additional bandwidth.

  MAC based transmission is also static, but based on the source MAC and has nothing to do with etherchannel/LACP. See my explanation and article above.

  Why would we need to assign adapters Eve and not active? Which is used to deny the problems with loops in an environment no spanning tree?

  vSwitches form loops unless you do really bad things in a VM with multiple network cards to configure some ornithology within this VM operating system. The active settings / standby are basically just primary/secondary hierarchy in case you want the traffic to a group of particular port through a specific binding, unless a failover occurs.

  How to configure the network (amount of NIC, vSwitches, portgroup assignment, vmotion, etc. and switches)?

  Depends on. On a lot of factors.

  To summarize:

  -separate your network with VLAN slipped into a totally physical configuration

  -vMotion put on a non-routed private VLAN with a dedicated physical connection (or active / standby time of team settings ensure vMotion is not shared with other traffic except in a case of failover)

  -use physical rising as much as you want for a bandwidth

  -for IP (NFS, iSCSI) storage or FT, use dedicated as well physical uplink

• How to set up the console for VROPS on a virtual machine?

  Hello

  In short, I have a configured 5.5 on a Windows 2008 Server vCenter. I installed vROPS 6.0 using the EGG file (connected to a host ESXi 5.5). However, when I try to open the vROPS console, I can't ping the IP address on the console (something like 192.168.0.10). How can I configure the console vROPS? I checked if I could install the file of EGG vROPS on a vCenter installed on a virtual machine, and it seems that it is possible. Is that correct, or am I missing something?

  Kind regards

  Timmy.

• Warning of SSL certificate when you download a picture of ESXi?

  Hi people,

  I have crossed all of installing vcenter, SSO, inventory, web, client Manager Update, etc and replaced all the SSL certificates using a series of excellent articles.

  http://www.derekseaman.com/2013/10/vSphere-5-5-install-PT-1-Introduction.html

  I think that it all works for me.  I have replaced SSL certificates on my 5.1 ESXi hosts and have added to the vcenter, no problem.

  I want to use Update Manager to upgrade hosts to 5.5.  I see this SSL certificate warning when you try to add the image of ESXi (photo attached).

  It makes me think that maybe my vcenter SSL certificate does not get replaced with success?

  I don't see this prompt anywhere, as the vsphere client connection.

  Check if all the comments?

  Thank you

• back-to-back connection between two virtual machines on different ESXi servers

  Assume that a name of Virtual Machine VM1 is on ESXi Server 1 and Virtual Machine name is VM2 exist on ESXi Server 2.

  We can configure two Virtual Machines back to back as connect us two physical machine back to back via cross cable. is this possible?

  Sorry for typo's fault, should be separated vswitch, with dedicated physical network card adapter

• Target iscsi ESXI 5.0, active path connected, mounted, are not not in the data store data store

  HI -.

  I am looking for help to point me in the right direction.  This problem occurred after a reboot of the system.

  I'm in vmware esxi essentials 5.0.0 821926

  I use the starwind software as my iSCSI target

  I use ISCSI to connect to my server from storage to the esxi hosts.

  I have 2 warehouses of data showing inactive under clusters of data storage and the data store.  I have a third-party data store on the same server that is loading properly.

  I currently have the same behavior on three esxi hosts:

  under configuration - storage adapters is the ISCSI path is active. Data warehouses appear under devices and mounted.  In data warehouses, they are inactive. On the same storage server

  on the starwind Server - I have

  built a new target

  removed and added the databases to the new target

  Changed the IP address of the target.

  On Esxi hosts, I removed the ISCSI server, discover places BOF dynamic and static and added under the same or IPs news discovery

  I can restart esxi hosts & storage servers and get to that same point.

  Whenever I find myself in the same place - course assets, devices mounted, inactive in data warehouses

  I don't know what else to share, let me know what you need to know to help out me.

  Thank you

  Dylan

  OK, incase someone crosses my ramblings, it may help.  My original question was warehouses of data that would not rise.  They were visible as devices in the area of storage under devices and as devices in the scsi adapter.

  When I would try to force mount them, add storage, keep the signature, mount they wouldn't mount.  I did some research and my question was after a failed mount attempt strength as got data attached as snapshots warehouses.  I then mounted force them and he tells will data warehouses and I got them back.

  I followed this KB to identify and resolve the problem

  manipulation of vSphere detected as snapshot LUN LUN (1011387)

  When it was over, I tried to add vms back and found a new show.  Power of vms would expire.  the vmkernel.log showed;

  2014 05-27 T 07: 20:40.010Z [verbose 'Vmsvc' 564D7B90] Vmsvc: filtering Vms: ignored not ready to request power state vm vim. VirtualMachine:75

  I had latency huge read write showing upwards, 3K and more

  After several searches, I had in the ESXShell and found that there is no conflict of booking.

  On a whim, I took inventory all virtual machines that are now inaccessible.  I then added a DOS virtual machine. Alto! the latency down to version 1.2 a.7 ms for all data warehouses.

  ultimately the instructions said you may need to add virtual machines in the inventory, but does not remove all virtual machines first.  I was grabbing vms that were not in stock, so I didn't remove the old virtual machines in the inventory.

• Config network ESXi 5

  Hello

  I have a single ESXi 5 host with 2 VM and 2 physical network adapters.

  There were 2 vSwitches configured on the host computer, and each NETWORK adapter is assigned to its own vSwitch.

  Each virtual machine is assigned to its own vSwitch so.

  VM1 VM2 bound traffic crosses the vSwitch-> through the physical network card > via the physical switch > back in the other network adapter > through the another vSwitch > and VM2

  OR

  It somehow goes directly from VM1 VM2 to since they are on the same host?

  PS. There is no VLAN configured, just a very basic network.

  Thank you

  Peter

  Hi Peter,.

  They're called a vSwitch for a reason. If these are two different that they cannot communicate directly. The traffic has to go through the physical card.

  As you said, VM1 VM2 to crosses the vSwitch---> physical Nic---> physical switch---> other---> Phisical Nic---> another vSwitch and VM2

  Otherwise, you might have two machines, sitting on the same vSwitch and have several uplink connected to this vSwitch.

• ESXi 5.0.0 VM crashes - cpu 0?

  Hello

  I administer a machine running esxi 5.0.0 with a sbs 2011 VMS.

  Today that VM does more - this has always worked but very very slowly

  on the resources tab, the cpu indicator is and remains 0 Mhz.

  The host has nothing else to do.

  I have a good candidate as the cause.

  Within the virtual machine (sbs, 2011), yesterday I installed an e-mail archiver application.

  On a previous physical server and with an earlier version, this software sometimes caused high cpu loads.

  The archiver should be originally, why suddenly high cpu load would esxi cut of cpu resources?

  The sbs2011 has a minimum cpu reserved for him

  I restarted the VM, stopped the archiver tool and am now crossing my fingers the virtual machine does not freeze again.

  Question:

  (1) what happened?

  (2) can I force esxi free virtual machine cpu?

  --------------------------------------

  The same type of gel that's happened once or twice after the initial installation of esxi, now a few months ago.

  But once I put a cpu/memory reserve, it has not reoccured.

  --------------------------------------

  syslog is not available, only after the reboot I put syslog (beginner and all that )

  After 8 months and many failed attempts, I finally found the reason

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2000382

  conclusion: do not drive cd on the host machine.
