  How my password recovery?

  How my password recovery?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I understand that you forgot your password,

  If you have a tool rest of password you use.

  otherwise you will need to perform the recovery, you can do this by tapping the F11 key at startup, recovery

  or if you have the disk, you can do the recovery.

• vSphere 6 Web Client - VM console mouse issues

  Fresh VSphere 6 install:

  vCenter device 6.0 2559267 (tiny config, the integrated Setup)

  ESXi 6.0 2494585 and 2615704 (patch applied 201504001)

  Client computer (admin): Win2008R2 server with or without SP1, Chrome 41, 37 of Firefox, IE 11, Adobe Flash Player and 15.0 17.0.

  Tried all possible combinations with the latter (see above), each time the same symptoms.

  Affected by issues with mouse on consoles Web Client VM, vSphere unaffected client (c#):

  (1) when you open a console to a computer virtual where VMTools are not installed, _movements_ of mouse are not transferred to VM, clicks are however, entered at the keyboard is forwarded / work.

  (2) in the case of installed VMTools, it gets a little better, but still problematic

  -Whenever a virtual machine console opens upward, if the vSphere Client Web browser window has been enlarged, the new window / tab with the console gets maximized as well and "tends" VMs Office - looks makes each pixel bigger. When the browser with the console window is restored down, the Office of VMs in it gets "resized" to fit the window.

  -Movements of the mouse seem to work (with installed VMTools), however only in the region which is the system VMs "native, not resized, non-tendu-pixel" resolution - f.x. so my WinVM has a screen resolution of 800 x 600, I launch a console in the Web Client and it is open in a window size 1600 x 1200, visually each pixel gets "stretched" and 4 times higher in the console , however the mice only moves in superior left quarter of desktop VMs, which seems to be linked to "native VMs not resized resolution." Once I have restore to the bottom of the browser window with size equal to or less than VMs console "native resolution", mouse movements operate in all areas of office in the console.

  Does not sound like a trivial thing to solve at first glance, but maybe someone has encountered a parameter that would disable the stretching of VMs Desktop in the Web Client Console? This would fit perfectly as a workaround.

  Any other ideas / suggestions are welcome.

  Thanks in advance!

  VMware have an article now for the same problem: the mouse pointer does not work in the console of virtual machine VMware vSphere Client HTML5 Web (2116851)

  Three solutions of workarounds currently exist:

  * Use VMware Remote Console.

  * Access the console of the virtual machine of VMware vSphere Client.

  * Install VMware Tools in the virtual machine and to increase the resolution of the screen until the mouse pointer has a full range of motion.

• vSphere 4.1 5 upgrade and licensing issues

  I currently have two server PowerEdge 2900. They each have two processors to 4 cores of each and 24 GB of RAM. Each server has a license in advance of vSphere 4 for 2 physical processors (1-12 cores). I also have vCenter 4 Foundation installed and licensed.

  I am looking to buy a new PowerEdge 620 with 2 processors, 8 cores each, and 128 GB of RAM.

  I want to do the following.

  1) upgrade the vCenter 4 to 5 license. Upgrade 2 CPUs with a value of 4 advance to 5 Enterprise vSphere vSphere licenses.

  2) update my installation of vCenter vCenter 4 5.

  (3) install ESXi 5 on new server PowerEdge 620.

  (4) migrate all virtual machines (guests) to a PowerEdge 2900 server to the new server 620.

  (5) Server Decomission the 2900 now blank.

  (6) keep the other server 2900 HA around and the low priority. VMs (I'm undecided as to whether I should upgrade to ESXi 5 on this one).

  Changes to licenses of 4 to 5 seems like a maze, but according to my calculations, 2 processors of licence 4 set to upgrade to 5, should give me enough for 2 CPUs and 128 GB of vRAM on the 620. It's my first time going through an upgrade like this, so I was hoping that someone with more experience could weigh in on this plan. I'm completely missing something, and he will be missed horribly? Any extra info / advice is appreciated.

  Thank you

  ... it is said that the old license get deactivated after the new ones are issued...

  Don't worry about this. Only old license on the portal keys will be disabled when you upgrade the key to v5. There is no license on your systems check, which will disable the host or vCenter Server.

  André

  PS: Although there is no verification of the license, it is your responsibility to ensure that the old and the new licenses are not used simultaneously. It would be a violation of the EULA.

• iSCSI issue

  Hello everyone,

  I'm experimenting with iscsi san for my storage. I use open-e as the software. So far, I guess that everything works. In Vsphere, I did new data warehouses. And in my VMs, I can connect to the correct data store and use it as a player. But there is something that does not appear clear to me. When I connect a data store to a virtual machine and start to fill with data, there is no problem.

  When I take a second vm and connect it to the same data store, I don't see what I put it through my other virtual machine data. Is this normal and can I change this so I can see the same information in both my VM?

  Thank you very much

  onkt

  If I get you right... looking for a concept of disk shared between two virtual machines with your iSCSI datastore...

  VMware only supports MCSC 2 NŒUD clustered VM to have a shared drive...

• VMware vsphere essentials more and Dell MD3000i iSCSI - virtual disk not on preferred path

  Hello world

  I am trying to set up our new vmware vsphere essentials plus the facility. We have 2 x Dell R710 servers running vmware esx4 and have a md3000i SAN.

  Each server has a network cable to connect to a network SAN controller.

  vmserver1 a vmnic6 IP 192.168.130.110 the IP controller connection 0 192.168.130.101

  vmserver1 has IP 192.168.130.111 vmnic4 connection to controller 1 IP 192.168.130.102

  vmserver2 a vmnic 6 IP 192.168.131.110 the IP controller connection 0 192.168.131.101

  vmserver2 has IP 192.168.131.111 vmnic4 connection to controller 1 IP 192.168.131.102

  Whenever I start a virtual server it causes the dell md3000i start flashes orange, and management tool says disc not on favorite virtual path.

  After entering the tool configuration and affecting the path preferred, from the commencement to vmware, even with a single connected server it causes the error.

  I tried to configure vmware to use direct fixed and alternate paths.

  I did a quick search on Google and found these sites:

  http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/VMware ESX4.0andPowerVault MD3000i

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/storage/f/1216/t/19269507.aspx

  Strange configuration.

  Looks like you are using some cross cable?

  Each host must have 2 vSwitches, each with a port vmkernel on one of the two iSCSI network.

  Each host must reach all 4 of the MD3000i (test with the vmkping command) interface.

• Vnic iSCSI issue

  Hi all

  I'm having a problem trying to my Iscsi paths on seprate phyical spend the vNIC phyical spreate configuration switch management. What I was going to do, install a switch management traffic and an another vmotion/iscsi. The problem occurs when I plug the vnic iscsi switch no dhcp and assign an IP address. After that I give him a grave management port IP address fail though even it is not connected to this switch.

  For me, the vNIC should be dependent on each other and I'm really confused at this point. Any help would be great.

  Steve

  After the screenshot of the network the IP address used for iSCSI (192.168.3. 1) is in the same subnet as the management network (192.168.3. 196) which most likely results in a routing problem. I would recommend that use you a dedicated subnet, not routed for traffic iSCSI, such as (192.168.1. 113) you mentioned earlier.

• VSphere 4.1 and Dell MD3000i iSCSI raid firmware version

  We had a problem to upgrade to one of our VMservers last week to version 4.1, seems that the version of firmware for the Dell San iSCSI raid is not compatible, and our Server 4.1 is not able to see the SAN.  Anyone encountered this?  Does anyone know if Dell has yet released a version update of the firmware?

  Thanks, Tandrist

  GEN 1 vs. Gen 2 is not a material difference, it's the firmware (vs 7.x 6.x).  At any given time a few years back, they decided that the firmware that they created was too buggy to fix and they scrapped it and started over.  All units purchased in the last two years must have been shipped with firmware Gen 2 and if you have an older one, it is easily (but slowly) being upgraded.

  My system is running 07.35.22.61 and it works fine.

  EDIT: Have you checked that the name of the iSCSI initiator has not changed during the upgrade?  Don't forget, the Bay Dell determines what LUN to show you the way in which the customer is identified.

• iSCSI - performance iSCSI Lefthand storage

  Hello

  I have a virtual machine with a number of iSCSI disks. I'm looking to analyze disk performance in vCenter.

  In the performance chart legend come objects to disk as "LEFTHAND iSCSI disk (naa.6000eb3710 etc...).

  My question is how do I find which drive is if that makes sense?

  Thank you

  PM

  This is a limitation of the graphic performance, there is no graphic available with store data and this device name. We have to note the name of the data store and the ID of the corresponding host-> Configuration-> storage device and match with the column of the object in the performance table.

  The graph button "Pop-up table" far close Save, Refresh icon and print, you can pop up.

• DataCore DataCore-V with ESXi, vSphere 4.1 iSCSI running

  I have looked everywhere and come short on my problem, if this is a problem?  In the past, I have always connected all ESX / ESXi host through corn and now I work more with iSCSI.  I always try to get a handle on it.  It's one thing to read about iSCSI and he put in place of the other.  OK, now that I have that came down my chest, here is my question.

  Should the two iSCSI connections in DataCore-V show ready if I have both connected?

  Here's a high level race down the environment.

  1. a single node of DataCore

  2. a single ESXi host

  3. the two dual iSCSI ports

  4. on the DataCore node, only one port shows ready

  5. on the ESXi host two connections show connected

  

  Help, please

  Hello

  To meet ask you: It will say connected when a host 'iSCSI IQN init' is connected, simply because he says tell-connected does not necessarily mean that the 'network' is down... The host/s are not, cannot connected. (or none have been configured).

  More information about your configuration will be useful, however check over the info / recommendations below (Simple config)

  1. you set the "Port" Type for the two iSCSI ports on the DataCore for "FE" "Front End" Server?

  2. you have defined two separate IP addresses for the iSCSI on DataCore iSCSI ports ports?

  3 for simplicity on the ESX host, you have two distinct vSwitches for iSCSI with a NIC each with a vmKernel configured with IP to talk to the DataCore "target Ports.

  Therefore to confirm you can test the interfaces between them... now connect connection to DataCore target ports

  If you use software iSCSI Init, enable it on the ESX host... then you will need to "Discover" ports "targets" (static or dynamic)

  Once you add the two DataCore target Port IP please make sure that you "Login" for them to the ESX host. (BOTH)!

  If it worked, now you can join the 'Host' ESX in DataCore-V interface and assign the "iSCSI initiator" (from the ESX host) to it. (Only will be there for iSCSI Software...

  Now, remember, there is that a single iSCSI Software initiator, the important thing is to make sure this initiator is recorded in the TWO ports of DataCore target... Check the DataCore-V 'Remote Ports"tab on each port of 'target' for the IQN of the ESX host name.

  NOTE: DataCore servers don't support not multiple sessions to the same IQN to a vSphere Host to a unique DataCore iSCSI Target

  XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

  Also, please see best practice information about DataCore for your settings of the NETWORK adapter on the server of DataCore.

  the iSCSI traffic should be strictly separated from the public network (user).
  Use a separate hardware (LAN switches) to traffic storage iSCSI or less different virtual LAN (VLAN).
  Use separate NICs for iSCSI and inter-stockage server and communication management.
  Disable any other protocol or service except for "Protocol Internet (TCP/IP)" on the network adapters used for iSCSI. See help guide for detailed instructions.
  3260 port must be open on the firewall to allow the iSCSI traffic.
  On storage servers DataCore as well as disable Application servers/hosts these settings because they can cause disconnections and performance problems:
  Disable AutoTuning on W2K8: netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel = disabled
  disable RSS feeds: netsh interface tcp set global rss = disabled
  disable the TOE: netsh int tcp set global chimney = disabled

  Let us know how you and perhaps give a bit of monitoring more than info...

  Best regards

• VSphere storage system and fiber channel

  I am looking to buy a San fiber channel (HP P2000 G3), 2 switch fabric and 2 servers DL380G7.

  I just installed SAN iSCSI so far, so I'm pretty new to Fibre Channel storage.

  I'm looking for white papers on VSphere and the P2000 SAN to ensure that it is correctly installed and optimize!

  Is that all I need to know about configuring HP P2000 and VSPhere?

  Is there a documentation existing on this subject?

  Thank you!

  Well, that's something to ask HP and EMC. Maybe with the next Firmware update of recommendation changes policy.

• With vSphere health Analyzer 6 fails - an error occurred while gathering

  If something has changed with vSphere 6 that breaks the health Analyzer?  I use the last 5.0.4.1.  After starting a new project and adding the appropriate in vCenter Server Discovery credentials, he asks for resources to scan.  I have all the boxes and
  Click Next.  He thinks about it for a moment, then returns - an error has occurred at the time of collection.   Of course, this works perfectly under vSphere 5.x.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Steve

  Officially HA5.0.4.x or earlier is not supported with vSphere 6.0. Workaround: Do not enter the information from the SSO server when connecting.

  What will be missing by running HAV without SSO information?

  If VSAN in your vCenter then you will miss the following information:
  Data table for a best practice VSAN-014, table data and the analysis of best practices VSAN-004, 007 VSAN and VSAN-009
  If you have vFRC in your vCenter then data table will be missing for VM - 028.
  As a solution it is manually by using the Web Client vSphere.

  We will address these issues in the 5.0.5 release.

• vSphere 5.5UP2 DL580 G5 autonomous Local Datastore

  I'm having a problem with a local data store on a 5.5U2 server vSphere lab facility. The server has 8 discs, 2 x 146 GB and 6 x 500 GB on RAID P400 controller. vSphere 5.5 is installed on the RAID-0 + 1 disk 2 and I have a RAID 5 array with 2.3 TB of space. I can't get the vSphere to add local data 2.3 TB store? Is there a limit of 2 TB, or have I missed something? I've recreated the RAID array several times without any change. I considered adding openfiler on top of installing vSphere and presenting as NAS or iSCSI. Thoughts? Thank you.

  B

  This problem is likely with the driver for the P400 controller. Please take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2006942. The article relates to ESXi and ESXi 5.1 5.0, but I think that ESXi 5.5 is simply not mentioned because it does not officially support DL580 G5 more.

• How to use 4 x 1 GB for software iSCSI NETWORK interface card.

  Hello. I have a HP P2000 G3, with iSCSI connections 4 x 1 GB. I have 4 free 1 GB NIC on my 5.5 esxi server. IM wondering how I could put things upwards, so it would use iSCSI 4x1Go at the same time, so I would get a 4 Gbps to my SAN connection. Is this possible? I read something about iSCSI multi-trip and Port binding, but is all a bit confusing. It seems to me which is used for failover? I tried to put in place using a multipathing guide and got to the top and his display I 8 paths to my SAN, but it seems that a NETWORK adapter is used when considering my switch activity.

  Any help would be appreciated.
