• Storage vMotion possible with ESXi Std Edt or not?

  Hi all

  We have two implementations of VMware with ESXi Standard edition licenses installed on the two site. A site has vCenter Server Foundation edition while the other has vCenter Server Standard Edition.

  The problem is that the site with vCenter Std and vSphere 5 Std doenst allow storage vMotion (see image below)

  

  While, on the other hand, site 5 Stnd vSphere with vCenter Foundation allows storage Vmotion (see image below)

  

  How is it so that vSphere Stndard this edtion of different characteristics in different places?

  I had recorded the call and found the solution... VSphere 5.0 and 5.1 gives really different set of features with the same Std license vSphere.   Take a look at the link for options available with vSphere 5.0 and 51 below.

  1 compare vSphere 5.0 editions

  Compare the editions of vSphere VMware for Cloud Computing, server and data center virtualization

  VSphere editions 2 - compare 5.1

  Compare VMware vSphere editions: managed Virtualization & amp; Cloud Computing

  For a test, I used the same Standard edition server with 5.1 key to it has worked well with Storage vMotion Option available :-)

• Can I shrink a logical drive and not the extended partition to a bare metal restore to a smaller drive?

  The current configuration is a Dell T310 with a S300 controller, with all locations 4 hot filled with SAS drives.  The operating system is SBS 2008 (2008 Server/Vista), I intend to change the controller of S300 (software) controller, a controller (hardware) H700.  My concern is that the H700 brings readers a little smaller in size.

  The typical arrangement of Dell's diagnosis, followed by a recovery partition partition (E :), followed by the system partition (C :), followed by a partition with a logical volume (d).  If I use Diskpart to shrink the D: 'partition', he let me with free space, not allocated.  Thus, it effectively reduces the logical drive, and the extended partition stays the same size as it was, with no way to reduce it.

  The question is, if I shrink the logical D: drive and not the extended partition and then get backups of the system, I'll be able to a bare metal restore on the smallest virtual disk of the H700?

  That's what I did:
  -Released the S300 controller and 4, 450 GB, 15 000 rpm Cheetah RAID-5
  -Replace the controller H700 and 2, 2 TB 7200 RPM in RAID-1 Constellations

  Results:
  -Eliminates the possibility of falling on a disk space issue when restoring
  -Increased the amount of available disk space.
  M ' left with 2 free hard drive for future expansion bays.

• High latency LDAP with ESXi 6

  We have Gen9 HP with Emulex 10 GB (driver v10.5.121.7) runs the last 6.0 ESXi and high latency experience above 50ms to 1.5 seconds with LDAP queries between continuous Windows or VM to DC.   However, to move the domain controller to an ESXi 5.5/6.0 with the latency of the network 1 Gb is down to below 50ms.  If you ping just two servers, ping response is < 1ms.

  Anyone else having this problem? It seems to happen with ESXi 6.0 with 10 GB Networki.   ESXi 5,5 of 10 GB seems to work very well.

• Bare metal to VM and network lost settings

  Customer site, IBM System x 3650 running VMware ESX Server 3i in turn four servers to Windows Server 2003.

  Customer has decided on this approach for the DRP.  Three of the servers have been made VMs of bare metal servers back to Headquarters.  A problem noted with raising in the virtual machine environment is that they have lost the original network settings - which is logical given the fact that the adapter is different.  But it would be nice if it were the case that is static, gateway IP address and DNS settings could be part of the virtual network adapter settngs machine.  What are the options?  This is adjustable during the construction of the virtual machine?  Or is it possible to create a virtual adapter to a bare metal Server?  Others?

  A newbie question - please be patient...

  Thank you!

  David

  As Erik said, remove all the drivers and hardware (com ports, serial, floppy disk, NIC ports, etc.) of the virtual machine. Among the pitfalls that you may experience after the P2V is sometimes the old IP settings are required to and you can even assign the same virtual IP address to the new network card because windows has this IP linked to the old physical card. That's when you need to run the "show no present devices ', so that you can remove the old nic in Device Manager for the news of the intellectual property contained in the output register. You might have to restart the virtual machine that you can assign the IP address to the new virtual card.

  Thank you

• bare metal Windows Installer 10

  If I do a "bare metal" upgrading to W10, how then install the HP software features I want, like sleep and extended features, the HP documentation, etc.

  Note: I don't have the backup of HP, I think the other backup software works erfectly well.  I don't want no other option of HP.

  M $ 'check PC' concludes that the Folio 13-1016TU can run W10 and all my programs and satisfactory equipment.  In my opinion this Upgrade Advisor is leaves much to be desired, and I was informed that his performance is the responsibility of MS rather than program and material suppliers.

  Yes, the laptop should still run Win10 with no major problems, even though as you say, the Upgrade Advisor may not always be accurate.

  I would create a picture as you do already.

• Having problems with ESXi/vSphere Client Network

  First of all, I apologize if it's thread is in the wrong section.

  I recently installed ESXi v6.0.0 in VMware Workstation 12.0 trying to familiarize myself with ESXi as I recently graduated and I forgot most of what I learned from the class I took.

  Then, ESXi installed smoothly and was very painless.

  Then, I tried to create a virtual machine. It's when things are messy. I can't understand why, but I don't get any network connectivity after obtaining a DHCP address to all within the virtual machine, in addition to being able to ping the host ESXi itself.

  First of all, networking is like so:

  10.10.10.1 router/gateway

  10.10.10.254 DHCP, DNS, server, VMware Workstation files 12

  10.10.10.250 ESXi host

  10.10.10.244 ESXi reviews - Windows 7

  Googles DNS 8.8.8.8

  VMware workstation 12:

  AMD FX-8350

  Intel Corporation 82574L Gigabit Network Connection

  NVIDIA Corporation GF119 [GeForce GT 520] (rev a1) - However, not allowed to work with VMware VMware or xvnc throws a fit to this topic

  ESXi host

  Images: 2015-10-04_21-13 - 57.png, 2015-10-04_21-14 - 34.png

  The vSwitch has the following properties:

  Image: 2015-10-04_21-19 - 38.png

  
  

  And the following then occurs on the ESXi prompt:

  Images:,2015-10-04_21-01 - 58.png, 2015-10-04_21-03 - 32.png

  
  

  I can't really understand what the problem is, or what is happening. Yes, I could set up an internal network of the virtual machine with a firewall and what not, but I was hoping that there would already network connectivity while I wouldn't do. Also, is it possible to make attachments online?

  
  

  Thanks for all their help
  

  This could be a problem of permission on the host vmnet adapter, see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/287.

• HP DL360 G6 "Noncompliant" with ESXi 5.1

  Hello

  I have two DL360 G6 running with ESXi 5.0U1 and I wanted to upgrade to 5.1.

  I downloaded die ESXi HP - 5.1.0 - standard-iso and added to the Update Manager, but when I check for an upgrade, I get the error that the servers are "Non-compliant".

  The DL360 G6 VMware Compatibility Guide must be supported for ESXi 5.1.

  Is it possible to know why it is Non-compliant?

  If I'm not mistaken, UM produce generally / alert error "Non-compliant" If ONLY your hosts (ESXi 5.0) do not correspond with your intended base line (5.1 ESXi) when you attach it to the guests. However, once you patch the host with this baseline, it should change to consistent.

  'Inconsistent' should be of concern.

• Windows 2008 R2 Server error Stop 7B after Bare Metal Restore of VM.

  I tried to make a bare metal restore of a physical server Windows 2008 R2 on a virtual computer, and although restoration is fine, when I restart the virtual machine after the restore, I get a STOP: 0x0000007B (see screenshot) error.  I was able to find all kinds of '' correction '' online, but none really solve the problem.  Someone at - it else done this and can provide a solution?  Thank you.

  As for your suggestion concerning the audit of the controller and then using vSphere converter, do you want to say I point the converter on the VMDK 'broken' and choose a Machine configuration option?

  What you can do with VMware Converter, is to run the Machine "set up" against the power off VM (simply select the virtual computer after connecting to the host or vCenter). I mentioned to check the controller before doing this, because this controller is the default configuration for the operating system you use.

• Reload via Web Services with ESXi?

  Is it possible to restart a virtual machine running on ESXi using Web Services?  I tried the sample code provided with the SDK, but I get an error. RestrictedVersion.summary. ideas?

  Thank you

  ARIN

  PS. I also tried the scrip poweroff_suspend_vm.pl with the same results.

  To use the API or remote CLIs with ESXi, you must have a paid license. If you use the free version of ESXi, you will not be able to take advantage of the APIs or CLIs

• VMS 64-bit on HP Proliant DL380 with ESXi 4.1 G4

  Hello world

  Impossible to install 64-bit VMs on HP Proliant DL380 G4's with ESXi 4.1? I received an error message:

  msg.cpuid.noLongmodeQuestionFmt: this virtual computer is setup for 64-bit client

  operating systems. However, the 64-bit mode is not possible.

  Longmode is disabled for this virtual machine.

  For more information, see http://VMware.com/info?id=152 .

  Continue without 64 bit support?

  Can someone explain to me and indicate a solution for this problem?

  The link also does not work...

  Where and how can I activate the Longmode?

  Thanks for your attention

  You must enable VT in the BIOS of the system and probably not execute (or disable it, always, I forget which).

  Doing so once the power to change the system, remove the cards power and then turn back on and you should be able to create x 64 vm

• Can be used with ESXi 4.0 HP system management tool?

  Hello

  I'm installing ESXi 4.0 on HP DL380 G4 server and I was wondering if the management of the HP tool system can be installed along side the hypervisor, so I can remotely check the condition of the equipment of the machine.

  Anyone know if this is possible?

  Thank you

  I had little experience with HP SIM, it's been a while. So with ESXi, there is no agent that runs on the host computer, it uses the CIM (Common Interface Management) which is an API that can monitor the hardware and return this information to tell your server HP SIM. For the configuration and use, I recommend looking at HP and the involvement of the HP documents. If you have installed ESXi HP image, then from the point of view host you should be good. You must later have your SIM Server talk to host ESXi and sure he monitors the components you want and alert on it, etc.

  Here are a few articles around ESXi and CIM blog:

• Group in a box with ESXi

  Hey all,.

  I was curious if it is possible to configure an MS Cluster in a box with ESXi? I know this is support with the use of RDM on ESX, but I use local data warehouses to House my VM instead of SAN/NAS (test system). Is it possible to do and if so someone can point me to the documentation? I tried the forums looking and don't have happen what it is.

  TIA,

  -Jason

  If you do this with Windows 2003 can see this document - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_mscs.pdf.
