VSphere 5 virtual host

I'm trying to run an ESXi 5 host as a virtual machine.  The installation works until that Scan for devices and then said that there is not any connected hard drives and can not load.  I tried to add another disk, but it is not always see it.

Am I missing something simple?

The material is a HP DL360 G5 with 14 GB of RAM running ESXi 5 with about 400 GB of local storage and an NFS volume as shared storage.

So as I don't have the equipment to another physical host, I thought, I could do a virtual machine and it's my second host.  Right?

Thanks for any advice.

How to setting the VM for ESXi virtual host?  If you create a virtual custom computer, select other (64-bit) as the guest operating system.  Then change the type of operating system invited to ESXi 5.x.  You must also select the virtual adapter SCSI LSI and the NIC virtual e1000

How you plan to use the ESXi hosts physical / virtual?

  • vSphere HA Virtual Machine failover failed

    Hello

    There are 3 ESX host in our cluster.  One of them (say Host3) just out of the Maintenance Mode.

    Then we change the DRS to aggressive and run reconfigure HA on the other hand, two ESX host (let's call them Host1 and Host2).  We just want to migrate VM to ESX host that just come out of maintenance mode.

    However, we find that all VM on a particular of ESX (Host1) host and a VM on a different host ESX (Host2) get the error message "failure of vsphere HA Virtual Machine failover.  We would like to ask for your opinion what are the possible causes of this error message?  The parameter that controls the behavior of the cluster?

    Thank you

    Nice day

    It looks like no HA should be launched at all in your situation as long as there are no unexpected host outtages.  You have followed VM enabled in your settings of cluster HA?  You'll definitely want to check the logs of the evidence as to why this is happening.

    Make sure that each of your hosts can ping address their isolation, usually the default gateway of the management network.  If you have followed VM enabled, make sure that VMware Tools is running in virtual machines that had the error.  You can also disable HA on the cluster and wait that AAM agent to be uninstalled from each host, then re-enable HA.

    If you don't want to disable all of the HA cluster, you can also remove individual hosts to vCenter.  This will also uninstall the agent of the MAO.  Once it is removed, add back to vCenter and the cluster HA-enabled.  This will then be re - install the agent HA.

    Without looking at the logs, it is difficult to say exactly what has caused your problem.  Feel free to attach your files to log to the community here.

    See you soon,.

  • How to connect an external usb drive to a virtual host

    IM using esxi 4.0 u1, have several virtual hosts running.  I use the vi client to manage, no vcenter.

    I want to connect a drive external hard usb to one of the virtual machines.  How do I do this in vi client?

    Thank you

    Not directly supported in the current version of ESX (i). You can try passthrough. Take a look at the http://vm-help.com for directions. A future version of vSphere will be the real answer.

  • Move the VM of ESXi 3.5 to Vsphere 4.0 (host chang & data store)

    I have a server ESXi 3.5 with 1.6 to with 20 VM local storage.

    Now, I want to continue to set up a cluster with a fiber channel storage. I want to know if this procedure is correct:

    Can I migrate the computer virtual host that esxi 3.5 for the new Vsphere 4.0 host connected to the SAN fiber channel?

    Are compatible vm ESXi3.5 to vspehere 4.0?

    once migrated all the VM I want format host ESXi 3.5, install Vsphere 4.0 and set the two servers in HA.

    ESXi 3.5 and 4.0 vsphere host must have the same processor?

    THANK YOU TOO MUCH.

    Hello

    You can move vms from 3,5 to 4, first of all, look at that if you move virtual machines in an othe data store, you must use svmotion or take off your virtual computer.

    You can run 3.5 vms in an esx 4 without problem. So if you want to enjoy the v4, you must first upgrade vmware tools, and the last step is to upgrade the virtual machine virtual material.

    Move all the VMS to the v4, and then reinstall the other server with esx4.

    Check the vmotion compatibility matrix and evc cluster parameters, you can mix processors intel, but not mix between amd and intel.

    hope find it you useful.

    concerning

  • Virtual host name

    We have one Equallogic running on a PS4100. I'm relatively new to the learning system so even my way around it. This could be a simple query.

    My question is this: we have an old server with 4 TB of data storage. Call the SERVER1. It is retirement due.

    I would like to move that data to the Equallogic, where I have plenty of room for it.

    However, we have many, many customers running many readers mapped to SERVER1. Instead of remapping all, which will have an age, y at - it a facility inside SAN HQ or group leader to give a virtual host name (which will be "SERVER1") and intellectual property to a volume? Pretty sure that our former NAS system a few years back was able to do this.

    For customers, the transition would be seamless - they would always connect to the same host name, only it is now hosted on the Equallogic rather than being a stand-alone server. I need to update the DNS entries and turn off the original Server1 completely of course.

    Hello

    # The berries of the PS Series by themselves are just s SAN storage device that use the iSCSI Protocol to connect servers to storage. .  They are not the NAS file servers on their own.  Dell offers a NAS device that fits completely into the SAN PS, known as a FS7600.

  • A bit off topic-Virtual Hosting

    About ready to download my first site via FTP.

    Through the registration of my domain name, they asked me to get out of the virtual hosting.

    Have no idea what it means so in terms real simple anyone could explain to me what it is.

    Without knowing anything about your hosting service, it could mean anything. Most of the web servers run "virtualized" as in multiple servers running on a physical like directories computer are "virtualized" in the sense that the URL that you see are not necessarily the physical file and the structure of folders on the drives of the server, but it is not clear what you mean. If there is a configuration option specific to the page of your service provider, you will need to take with them most likely...

  • After uninstalling the grid Infrastructure: virtual host name [INS-40912] assigned to another system on the network

    Hello

    I deleted successfully installed grid Infrastructure software. Now, I installed again it but the installer complains about '[INS-40912] virtual host name assigned to another system on the network", which he complains not in the first installation process. :/

    EDIT: I checked and both nodes of the cluster are interpingable through their virtual IP address.

    I see that the previous installation has created a clean interface for this virtual IP address:

    eth0:2Link encap HWaddr 00:50:56:B9:0E:AA
    INET addr:10.200.11.159 Bcast:10.200.11.255 mask: 255.255.252.0
    RUNNING BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 metric: 1
    Basis of interruption: 19 address: 0x2000

    OK solved: I just do:

    ifconfig eth0:2 down

  • Only one virtual host can reach the door at the same time?

    I installed ESXi 6 on a HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 and got an operational virtual host. But it seems that no matter what I do, one host can reach the door at one point. All other grandis hosts can ping other virtual hosts and ESXi hardware, but can not get any further than that. And the same is true of outside: I can reach ESXi and a host of outside this subnet, but others are inaccessible.

    I checked that each host is configured correctly and in the same way, and they have different MAC addresses and is even went up to clone a virtual machine that has access to the network, without success.

    The upstream network hardware is not under my control, but they swear everything that should be the cause of this behavior. The ProLiant server has a Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5719, 1Gbps full-duplex. The guests are CentOS 7 x 64, with adapters vmxnet3 (but Intel E1000 adapters exhibit the same behavior). All hosts are on the same port group.

    Any ideas?

    Welcome to the community,

    It sounds as if the physical switch port is secure port, which generally limits the number of MAC addresses that are allowed to 2. Depending on the switch model, this may be named "desktop" mode. Change mode of the configuration of the port to access (or trunk) should solve the problem.

  • Can migrate a virtual computer to another virtual hosted by the same host computer?

    Deal all,

    I have two questions and I need your help.

    (1) I wonder if a virtual machine can be migrated to another virtual machine that are hosted by the same host ESXi 5.0? (The host has a local hard drive). If possible, how?

    (2) if I have two stand-alone ESXi hosts (host A and B), each host has DAS (local storage) respectively. If the VLC Player is running on a virtual hosted by host A computer and playing a video stream from the Internet, (it is not at all access local storage). This virtual machine can be migrated to host B? (Suppose vCenter is installed)

    Any response will be appreciated.

    Cheng

    You can clone this VM VM A i.e (require vCenter or vmkfstools allows you to clone the drive ONLY) and name VM B. do you want on original VM. Something happened to A VM, VM B you Savior.

    vStorage the device (here). It will use your local or DAS.

  • Can I run vSphere 4.1 hosts when you run a 2 vCenter 4.0 update server

    Can I run vSphere 4.1 hosts when you run a 2 vCenter 4.0 update server.

    The thing is that I don't have a 64 bit OS on my vCenter server and a new requirement was 64-bit DSN on the vCenter.

    So I want to install vSphere 4.1 on the hosts and vCenter 4.0 until a new server running is running.

    No, 4.1 hosts need a vCenter 4.1.

  • Adding multiple Apache virtual hosts

    Hi, when I want to add multiple Apache virtual hosts in XAMPP. How the code looks like. Can you please give an example with 3 virtual hosts.

    Windows Vista 32.

    Is it just adding: < VirtualHost *: 80 >

    C:/vhosts/siteA DocumentRoot

    Servername siteA

    < / VirtualHost >

    < VirtualHost *: 80 >

    C:/vhosts/siteB DocumentRoot

    Servername siteB

    < / VirtualHost >

    < VirtualHost *: 80 >

    DocumentRoot c:/vhosts/siteC

    Servername siteC

    < / VirtualHost >

    Thank you!

    It's about the size of it, I think...

  • Setting up a virtual host Apache for Sites of the Complutense University of MADRID

    As the subject says: I am trying to configure virtual hosts with apache for the Sites of the Complutense University of MADRID. Now, we are trying to set up for each site of the Complutense University of MADRID, we have an ip address. Done on the browser when I see that someone typed in "http://www.myfirstsite.com" (through the magic of dns that they get routed to my server). Once they are at the level of the Apache Server I want to configure virtual hosts, so I can redirect the user to the appropriate site residing in the Complutense University of MADRID.

    Now, it is possible for me to access the sites by this "http://myservername/myfirstsite". But what I want Setup of Apache, is that when someone types in "http://www.myfirstsite.com" they see site whatever, I want them to see in the Complutense University of MADRID. But mann I just don't know what would be the document root or how could I go to get users to SEE what I want them to see. Can someone help me with this please? Thanks in advance.

    You should be able to stick with the default apache configuration where he will answer for any host name and create virtual servers for each instance with the root of the document appropriate for this instance of CS. Then you should be able to use rewrite rules to direct users to the virtual host appropriate depending on what URL they access the server with. See the documentation for Apache mod_rewrite around: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/rewrite/
