• Question of the motherboard for M58p Tower

  Hi all

  Have a question that I think will work but need anyway to confirm him. On the motherboard of my computer, I have what seems to be 4 sata connectors. 1 orange, the others are red. I intend to have 4 sata devices hung; 2 hard disks and dvd drives/burners 2. Watch here:

  http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-71086&selectarea=support&tempsel...| ThinkCentre 20M58p % | 6138 & family = 20Desktops % Lenovo | ThinkCentre 20M58p & = 20Desktops % Lenovo machineType % | ThinkCentre 20M58p % | 6138

  He says that orange is an esata connector. Now, what I can say and tried to google, I think you can use a sata device in this place.

  Double question. Is it indeed possible and has anyone done this or done this?

  Thank you!

  OK, thanks for the reply. I just wanted to make sure before I made using a device sata off of him.

• Question about the database update for Vsphere 4.1 to 5.1

  Hello

  We are about to upgrade our environment vsphere 4.1 and 5.1. I have a question regarding the upgrade of the vcenter server. Today, we have installed SQL SERVER 2005 Express database and what I get when I run the setup I will be invited to install 2008 r2 express or use the existing database. I guess I picked the new installation 2008 r2 express database? This will keep my DB inventory and just install the new DB SSO and tables?

  I read that you need to run som aswell from the installation CD SQL queries but are - that if you choose the existing database?

  hope you understand

  If you are doing a new installation of 51u1/5.1, the DB that is installed is 2k8R2 express... However, on the update from versions 4.x 2 k 5 db is preserved.

• VMware vSphere 4 licenses essential question and the number of processors

  Hi all

  I have a question about the Essentials of VMware vSphere 4.1 license. We have a client interested in a VMware vSphere Essentials license. The machine runs on 2 x processor Xeon 5675 6 c. Now I read somewhere that there was a limitation of the number of processors that can be used with the edition of Essentials. If I remember correctly, the number of physical sockets is limited to 2, but I remember that there is another limit, but I could not find the document describing and wonder:

  Is there a limitation on the maximum number of 4 cores on one physical processor that can or will be used by VMware vSphere 4.1 Essentials or there is a limitation on the number of 4 vCPU that can be assigned to a guest?

  I would like to know because if this is a limitation on the number of vCPU that can be assigned to a customer that would not be a problem because we have no guests in need of vCPU, then 2 more, but if this is a limitation on the number of cores that would be used by VMware vSphere Essentials, it would be a waste of money to buy a 6-Core ;-)

  Hello.

  2 taken with 3 guests, 6 hearts and SMP 4 lanes for virtual machines.

  Good luck!

• Questions for the material on the VMS created as the GPT Partitions on ESXi 5.5 / 6.0

• New mechanism of quorum VSAN in vSphere 6

  Hi all

  I'm a little confused on the new mechanism of quorum vsan in vsphere 6.x

  As far as I've seen, the new technique does not use the witness to vmdk (but still use it for namespace) and must use the componet voice in order to get a quorum.

  However, I have a number of deployment VSAN where I still observe the witness. What I don't understand?

  Thank you

  

  It is still possible to see the witness components used in 6.0.

  For votes to work, you generally increased bandwidth.

  Here is an example of voice used, rather than a witness - VSAN 6.0 part 1 - new mechanism of quorum - CormacHogan.com

• General question about the updates and version number

  I have a general question about versions and update.  I'm new on this and am in the deep end of learning I want.

  In vSphere web client, I see the following versions (these are exactly as the seller, he left a few months that I have screenshots in my documentation that match)

  Version - VMware ESXi, 5.1.0 1612806

  Profile - Dell (updated) ESXi - 5.1 - 799733 (A00)

  I am trying to familiarize themselves with the Update Manager and I noticed that there are a lot of patches and updates available.

  Lists of Update Manager 5 patches as "Missing" with Red x but directly above them are a list of patches with green tick indicating that "installed" - it is perhaps obvious, but im guessing 'installed' means really installed when displayed on the screen - there is an update installed, labeled "ESXI 5.1 all the update 2-' would be able to tell that it has been installed by the details of profile/version above?

  I don't think it's a big deal at this stage, but if I install all missing patches and then the details of the version/profile change in summary screen?

  I hope this makes sense.

  Thank you

• New user vSphere Hypervisor license Question.

  I realize, it's maybe a stupid question, but the free license, I received for ESXi said 5 licenses of the Machine. It's that 5 guests? or 5 virtual machines on a single host?

  Thank you.

  In fact, there is no such limitations. The current version is only limited to 32 GB memory physical host and some lower limits for virtual machines (e.g. max. 8 vCPUs/VM). Also, you will have limited access API, which prevents to use most based virtual machine backup solutions. For more details, see Getting Started with Free VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) .

• Questions about the implementation of clusters of storage and DTS on active cluster

  I have a few questions about the implementation of clusters of data store and SRS storage in VSphere 5.1.

  We have a data center with about 15 HP blades and a few servers non-lame.  The hosts are all either VSphere 5.0 or 5.1.  Our back-end storage is an EMC VNX 5700 with about 20 stores of data.  All the VMWare is managed by VCenter 5.1 running on a dedicated physical machine.

  Currently, each data store is used individually; No piles of data store are put in place.  When a new virtual machine is created, the administrator usually chooses the data with the most space store.  Periodically, we will go back and manually storage vMotion machines to balance the load.

  Recently, we have expanded the VNX storage, so we now have LUNS in different pools, with different levels of performance.

  What I would do is set up for the data store clusters, so that us when a virtual machine is created, the administrator must not know what data store is in which pool.  Also take advantage of the DRS storage so that the burden of storage will be "refine" himself a little.

  I know the setting up of a cluster of storage in a 'clean' environment is quite simple, but my concern is creation/conversion data warehouses existing in active production in the cluster, while they are used.

  If I access the screen "data warehouses and store data from clusters ', right-click on the data center and create a cluster, and then move the various data stores in the new cluster, will there be an interruption in the production running systems?

  I also wonder about activation of storage i/o control.  It is not currently enabled on data warehouses.  I know it's useful for the StorageDRS, but will be allowing any negative impact on the system?  If I turn on the warehouses of data, is there anything else I should do or set in addition to all that allows him?

  Finally, we are in the process of Site Recovery Manager configuration.  SRS has an impact on the configuration of the data clusters and DTS store?

  Thanks in advance for your comments.

  Hello

  Clusters of data and using DTS store doesn't impact RS even if you create a cluster of data store for storage of replicated data and another for everyone else, this way you machines virtual you want to replicate are not moved on warehouses of data that are not replicated , but will still have the ability to move if there is a conflict.

  Gregg

  With all due respect but SRM and DTS don't go together. SRM does not at all support the use of DTS. So if you are configuring SRM forget DTS for now.

  Reason for this is that SRM knows no DTS and VMs can be in flight when a failover should occur, and bad things can happen. Also, the protection breaks when a virtual computer is moved between data warehouses in a cluster data store.

  In short: don't go there.

• Questions about the upgrade from 4.1 to 5.1

  I posted the following to the thread in the forum of Vsphere upgrade, and in five days I got ZERO responses. Perhaps more here and even here is the wrong place to post things, or maybe I'm not questions easily answer. I'll post it here too, since it mainly Virtual Center, I think. Maybe someone can help me or tell me what is the problem with my announcement that allows to go unanswered. Here we go:

  I'm about to upgrade my little (1 4 host ESX and Virtual Center) environment vSphere 4.1 and 5.1.  My database to the virtual Center lives on a separate SQL server 2008R2 server. My virtual Center Server is virtual, if that matters. I have upgraded my licenses and read the documentation, to try to formulate a plan that escapes enough causing any downtime for my virtual machines.

  I am designing a series of steps that are all pretty low, and such that each step does not harm anything, whereas if I have problems, I can take my time to solve. Then, when this step is stable, I can continue to the next step. I want to tell you what I have in mind, ask a question here and there and hope you can report errors that I make and answer my questions. The big picture is:

  1 Virtual Center update and give him a few days to show me any problem before doing anything else.

  2. upgrade to a host ESX 4.1 5.1 ESXi. Convince me things are okay, before you do more.

  3. put to level the other three 4.1 ESX hosts. Make sure that everything is fine.

  4 create new LUNS, formatted with the new VMFS, move my VM to them and remove the old one.

  If there is nothing wrong with this basic plan, please let me know.

  More details and questions:

  Question: The docs say my Virtual Center Server, under the SSO, the inventory service and the virtual Center Server, will need TEN GIGABYTES of RAM.  Is this true? It seems insane to me.

  Question: Can I install on my Virtual Server 4.1 single signon Center without DANGER?  In other words, its installation will prevent Server 4.1 virtual work center? I hope I can, because it is a new feature that I have trouble with. I don't want to get into a situation where my old virtual server Center does not work, and I can't get the new work.

  Question: The VI 4.1 client can talk to Virtual Center 5.1? The VI Client 5.1 can talk to Virtual Center 4.1? I hope that the answer to one of the people is 'yes '.

  Step 1: Create a backup of my virtual Center VM (with vRanger connection, if this is important) and a backup of my SQL database.

  Step 2: Install single Signon. Here is where I hope that this does not stop 4.1 virtual work center.

  Step 3: Upgrade the inventory Service and Virtual Center to 5.1

  Step 4: Install VI Client 5.1 on the VM virtual Center and on my desk from which I usually manage my environment.

  Step 5: Wait I'm comfortable that everything is fine. It is perhaps a day or two (or more).

  Question: How can I spend my hosts for maximum security? I'd rather put a DVD in the drive and do it from the console, unless this is not a good way.

  Question: Before I update a host, should I remove the fiber channel cables, so he can't see my VMFS LUNS? I think I read that somewhere, and it sounds like a good thing to do, even if I do not have.

  Step 6: Upgrade a host ESX 4.1 5.1 ESXi. Move a couple of virtual machines essential to it and he give a day or two to settle.

  Step 7: Upgrade the other three ESX host.

  Step 8: Wait until I'm really, really comfortable with things.

  Step 9: Create a new LUN VMFS5, migrate my VMs to them over time and remove the old one.

  I would greatly appreciate all advice and attention that you may have.

  Question: The docs say my Virtual Center Server, under the SSO, the inventory service and the virtual Center Server, will need TEN GIGABYTES of RAM.  Is this true? It seems insane to me.

  If your environment is small you can run all these in one and ofcouse if you execute all these in a server you need more RAM... There is no limit.

  Question: Can I install on my Virtual Server 4.1 single signon Center without DANGER?  In other words, its installation will prevent Server 4.1 virtual work center? I hope I can, because it is a new feature that I have trouble with. I don't want to get into a situation where my old virtual server Center does not work, and I can't get the new work.

  normally if you think only in terms of scalability, it is good to have separate these things... He is sure no questions evey thing won't work if you install it on the same server also.

  Question: The VI 4.1 client can talk to Virtual Center 5.1? The VI Client 5.1 can talk to Virtual Center 4.1? I hope that the answer to one of the people is 'yes '.

  The VI 4.1 client can talk to Virtual Center 5.1? No, but talk about Client 5.1 Virtual Center 4.1

  Step 1: Create a backup of my virtual Center VM (with vRanger connection, if this is important) and a backup of my SQL database.

  Step 2: Install single Signon. Here is where I hope that this does not stop 4.1 virtual work center.

  Step 3: Upgrade the inventory Service and Virtual Center to 5.1

  Step 4: Install VI Client 5.1 on the VM virtual Center and on my desk from which I usually manage my environment.

  Step 5: Wait I'm comfortable that everything is fine. It is perhaps a day or two (or more).

  these steps are ok

  Question: How can I spend my hosts for maximum security? I'd rather put a DVD in the drive and do it from the console, unless this is not a good way.

  BLI, or DRAC suites method what ever you... very well.

  Question: Before I update a host, should I remove the fiber channel cables, so he can't see my VMFS LUNS? I think I read that somewhere, and it sounds like a good thing to do, even if I do not have.

  Installing esxi will not hurt of thing... to the old VMFS... It will ask to keep or to format the old vMFS... BUT I prefer to remove the cables... BECAUSE we are humans...

  Step 6: Upgrade a host ESX 4.1 5.1 ESXi. Move a couple of virtual machines essential to it and he give a day or two to settle.

  no need... . If the hardware is on the HCL, I mean the firmware/driver etc... for the esx is on the HCL, then no problem...

  Step 7: Upgrade the other three ESX host.

  Step 8: Wait until I'm really, really comfortable with things.

  Step 9: Create a new LUN VMFS5, migrate my VMs to them over time and remove the old one.

  assign the new LUN and create VMFS and migrate... It'S her!

• What are the vSphere components must be on the same subnet?

  VSphere components, those who need to be on the same subnet / vLAN?

  For example:

  vCenter Server and ESXi hosts?

  Groups separated from ESXi hosts are on separate VLANS / subnets? What is the limit of the number of hosts ESXi I should have on one vLAN to avoid having too much broadcast traffic?

  vCenter Server and he associated with SQL Server?

  VMware Update Manager and vCenter Server?

  VMware Update Manager and ESXi hosts it updated?

  There is no technical requirement that vSphere components must be on the same IP subnet. You can have all the components on a separate and routed (or even a firewall, you implement granted sufficient rules) subnet without problems. If that made sense, however, is a completely different question.

  vCenter Server and ESXi hosts?

  Does not really matter, but makes the most sense to be on the same subnet.

  Groups separated from ESXi hosts are on separate VLANS / subnets? What is the limit of the number of hosts ESXi I should have on one vLAN to avoid having too much broadcast traffic?

  If they are managed by the same vCenter, or similar commercial purposes, I would put them on the same subnet. I only consider something a subnet extra for things like DMZ-Clusters, that can be distinguished from any other as much as possible. A vMotion VLAN cluster might be a correct point in a normal scenario too.

  ESXi hosts really do not generate any significant broadcast traffic, apart from a few ARP requests here and there. This isn't Windows, after all, and even if that were the case, the time when you had to worry about the reasons broadcasting with 'only' a few hundreds or thousands of systems on a broadcast domain have long been more with the advent of fast and gigabit ethernet.

  vCenter Server and he associated with SQL Server?

  VMware Update Manager and vCenter Server?

  Even once it does not really matter, but I would put them on the same subnet unless I have a very good reason not to.

  VMware Update Manager and ESXi hosts it updated?

  As long as they are not connected via a WAN snail, causing the staging of updates hours, that's fine.

• Questions about the data reporting PowerCLI store

  Hello

  I have a problem with a script that I use and I'm looking for an idea on the problem.

  I have a script that gathers pretty much all the information on the virtual machine in my cluster. (Disk size, free disc, data store).

  Most of the time, it works very well. But there is something that bothers me little. It doesn't report the data store that each VM is linked to. It works for most, but on a select few, it's not.

  I wonder if there is something in my script which is the first cause, or if it is a question of VSphere.
  
  My script and the output is attached.
  
  Thanks in advance for the help.
  
  -Aaron

  I was able to get the warehouses of missing data as well.

  That's when the VMDK are stored on more than 1 data store for a specific virtual machine.

  In this case, the line

      $myDS = Get-Datastore | Where { $_.Id -eq $VM.Datastore}
  

  nothing will store in $myDS because $VM. Data store is an array of MoRefs.

  In fact you try to map the partitions in the guest OS with data warehouses that host the VMDK files.

  There is no easy solution for that I fear (there are number of threads in this community who are trying to do the same thing).

  I fear that there is no real solution for this problem
