  • What are the methods to ESXi upgrade with 1 single ESXi Server?

    The server requires her to get any update through the update maintenance Manager or VMA is not possible that both run on the ESXi server.

    What options are left during a server ESXi 4.0 to ESXi 4.1? I can think of root direct-ssh access and the 'host Update Utiliy', even if that fails with errors.

    You must use the vCLI, then update the host vihostupdate.pl. Page 55 @ http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_upgrade_guide.pdf

  • What are the limitations of esxi hypervisor

    I want to determine what features are not available with esxi hypervisor in comparison with vSphere Standard license? What would be the reason to buy a license when I am currently satisfied with the free hypervisor?

    Any help on this appreciated that I could not find the missing features other than the VC Server Mgmt and support.

    Thank you

    This page has the ventilation kit with what each brings to the table: http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere/buy/small_business_editions_comparison.html

    Made this page (in the store): http://www.vmware.com/vmwarestore/vsphere_purchaseoptions.html

    As soon as you want to use one of the best features, such as the management of one or more hosts with vCenter Server, you must purchase a license. You don't also get really good features such as vMotion, Update Manager, HA, DR, etc...

    The way I see it, whether it is for a business setting, purchase the appropriate license, with the SnS and vCenter Server... For home test labs, often the free version is everything you can to allow/get... Just keep in mind, that it limits what you can test in this environment...

  • Only accepts only custom not UID values. What is the range in ESXi IUD?

    I am trying to create a new user from the console and wants to assign UIDS above 1024, but it is automatically assign 1000 and is incremented for each new user and it does not accept custom UID values.

    I updated in/etc/group, but only reflecting only not in the GUI. Is it the right place to update? How to change?

    Also is it possible to change the UID range, it can accept?

    Please visit: http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-51-storage-guide.pdf. NFS has always been behind compared to the block on ESX/ESXi. Even in vSphere 5.1 only NFS v3 is supported. I hope one day they will support NFS v4 and/or pNFS.

  • What is the command of ESXi to get information of PCI as DevSta, LnkCap

    Hello

    On ESX5.5, I ran the command "lspci - vvv ' for details of ICH such as DevSta, LnkSta and other info. But he does not appear.

    I would like to know the PCI details like DevSta, LnkSta fetch command.

    Some links in google showed the exit "lspci - vvv" as below. But I'm not able to get these on ESX50/ESX55. Is there any other command?

    Sample PCI details:

    DevSta: CorrErr - UncorrErr - FatalErr - UnsuppReq - AuxPwr - TransPend -.

    LnkCap: Port #0, 5GT/s speed, width 32, L0s ASPM, latency L0 x < 64ns, L1 < 1us

    LnkCtl: ASPM with disabilities; 64 bytes Disabled-recycle - CommClk - BCR

    ExtSynch - ClockPM - AutWidDis - BWInt - AutBWInt-

    LnkSta: Speed, 5GT/s, width x 32, TrErr - Train - SlotClk - DLActive - BWMgmt - ABWMgmt-

    DevCap2: Completion Timeout: not supported, TimeoutDis -.


    Thank you!!!

    One thing to look at is if you upgrade virtual hardware.  This may change the order of the virtual machine's PCI bus to change.

    It is a different problem, but sometimes, when you upgrade virtual hardware on a windows VM network settings are lost for windows to detect it as a new card to a new location after the upgrade.

  • Question about the upgrade to ESXi 4.1 and USB keys

    Right now I'm under ESXi 4.1 from a USB key (ie. a very small USB key).

    If I want to "start over" and use a newer USB for ESXi 5 but keep my intact, is guest operating systems - this possible?  (For example, if I install ESXi on a Virgin USB 5.0, will I be able to import my existing operating system vmx ESXi 4.1 images, etc.?)

    In addition, what's the downside of ESXi 5 running from a USB?  I spin this in a laboratory at the House and have read that ESXi basically load into memory if you really start player ESXi itself is useless and a USB key is perfectly fine.  Is this true?

    If you do not want re - configure ESXi 5.0, you can proceed as follows:

    1. Use free software, called "USB Image Tool 1.57" make a picture of your USB 4.1 - software available here http://www.alexpage.de/usb-image-tool/ .  This way you can restore it to any USB in the future.
    2. After making a backup of your USB 4.1 image, upgrade installation 4.1 to 5.0.
    3. Make a backup of your configuration of ESXi using the CLI vMA tool / vSphere in Windows with the following command: vicfg-cfgbackup-next - server
    4. The new installation of ESXi 5.0 on new USB
    5. VMA or vSphere CLI tool use in Windows with the following command to restore the backup from step 3 config: vicfg-cfgbackup-load - server
    6. You should now have ESXi 5.0 works on a new USB without any necessary configuration

    Alternatively, you can restore the image USB created in step 1 on your old USB in order to have a 4.1 installation handy...

    I recommend that make you a picture of your USB 5.0 USB as well just in case in the future USB fails.

  • What is the fastest way to convert VMWare workstation VM of ESXi?

    Hello

    Was curious to know what is the quickest way to convert a VMWare workstation VM to a VM compatible ESXi. Is the method of standalone converter VMWare at the following ADDRESS of the faster method:

    http://www.networkinghowtos.com/HOWTO/convert-virtual-machine-VMware-Workstation-ESXi-vSphere/

    Or is the method below faster? The method below mentions converter standalone is required for Workstation 8 VM but did not mention if it is needed for Workstation 8 AND HIGHER VM (ie: 9 and 10 workstation).

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1012258

    My ultimate goal is to export on a USB key and then import on the ESXi instead of convert and copy it to the network server. I'm exporting to my 3 TB USB would be faster than the copy of the virtual machine on the network. Thoughts?

    I think the second is the best option VMware KB: export of VMS in VMware Workstation to ESX/ESXi

    As you can see you can export the VM and after import on the EXS (do not use personalization)

    But uf you have Vmware Workstation 8 or higher, you can connect to the ESX Server and move the machine. If you are in the same local network and do it at a time of low workload, it would be the best option.

  • What are the native agents available in the ESXI if I plugged with vCenter!

    Hello

    Please let me know what are the available agents in ESXI, if it is connected to vCenter?

    HA - FDM

    Management - VPX

    Hi Hari,

    'management' of services agents on ESXi are under /etc/init.d that they are installed with the host software:

    pass, ntpd, sfcbd, slpd, wsman, vobd

    The agents that comes exclusively from vCenter Server are:

    vCenter agent:

    "vpxa" - the software that collects, communicates and executes the actions received from vCenter Server. The Server vCenter agent is installed the first time that any host is added to the inventory of vCenter Server

    Checking status: State of /etc/init.d/vpxa

    HA agent:

    "vmware-fdm" (FDM/Fault Domain Manager)

    The older pre 5.0 welcomes its AAM agent

    Kind regards

    I am trying to create a virtual disk to a virtual machine, I want to make the size of the 300 GB disk but its not allowing to create.

    Can I know what is the maximum size of virtual disk, we can create in machines virtual esxi 4.0 with vmfs3 partition


    The maximum size of the virtual disk that you can use depends on the size of the selected block when formatting of the data store. With the default of 1 MB block size, the maximum size of virtual disk on a VMFS-3 datastore is ~ 256MB.

  • What is the interval of time between the virtual machine Linux and ESXi host synchronization?

    I have ESX5.0 with a centos6 installed on this linux virtual machine.

    After the installation of vmware for Linux virtual machine tools, I activated the time synchronization between the virtual machine linux and ESXi host through vmware-toolbox-cmd.

    I wonder what is the interval of time between the virtual machine linux and ESXi host synchronization? If I quickly time OS system, when the OS system time will sync back to the ESXi host?

    According to http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/Timekeeping-In-VirtualMachines.pdf:

    By default, the demon checks the guest only once per minute operating system clock.

    However, depending on whether the guest is behind or in front of the result is different. So, please read the section "periodic synchronization" (at least) in the document mentioned above.
