• VM doesn't qutoboot upward after the restart of the ESXi host

  Hi all

  I environment, there is only a single Cluster. The Cluster has an ESXi host. all virtual machines including vCenter VM are resides on the ESXi host. When I reboot the host can all VM does not start?

  For comparison, there is a different environment, there are two Clusters (Cluster 1 and Cluster 2) in vCenter, Cluster 1 has two hosts ESXi Cluster 2 has only a single ESXi host. vCenter runs on the ESXi host residing in Cluster1.

  When I reboot the host residing in Cluster2, all virtual machines may start automatically.

  is that any expert can explain the difference? Why single environment can auto boot VMs when both of these environment has a host to the Cluster and cluster activate HA service?

  environments are executed at the ESX5.5.

  You will need to check the box allow VMS to start and stop automatically with the host system and then change the setting on the edit tab, and mention what needs to be done for each machine.

• Find the ESXi hosts that aren't in clusters

• Create new vCenter and move the ESXi hosts

  Hello

  I created a new vCenter vCenter apparatus using ISO 6.

  The deployment went well and I have all the installation program. I would now like to move hosts our old vCenter to new ESXi.

  I was reading this article to start the moving process.

  When I try to disconnect the host I get the message below

  

  In the article in the link above it is written that it will not affect the State of the virtual machine running on the host.

  If I click on 'Yes' here, it will automatically put the host in maintenance mode?

  I prefer not to do it if I can avoid it because I don't want to have to evacuate all virtual machines running on the esxi host.

  Wouldn't it be better if I disabled it HA first? Then try to move hosts? Or I'm sure to sign-out and the subsequent removal?

  Thank you

  See you soon

  Hello

  You must put your server in maintenance as a first step mode, then unplug and remove the server. It will work.

  If it doesn't work, disable temporary HA and remove your host of the VC.

• Displaying output on the ESXi host?

  It may be a stupid question but just wanted to be sure. I have ESXi running a desktop PC with a cluster of virtual machines configured. The PC has a screen attached to VGA. This means that I see the ESXi etc host configuration screen.

  I can remote into the MV from my computer laptop etc, no problem, but I would like to be able to use the screen. So is it possible to show a virtual machine on this screen, rather than the ESXi host / console?

  The short answer is no, this is not possible.

• Add the model mv directly from the ESXI host

  Hi gentlemen,

  I have a question:

  Is it possible to add a model from the ESXI host without using VCENTER?

  I browse to the data store and I select Add to the broom, but I get an error.

  Sort of to reach it without using VCENTER?

  The models are a unique feature of vcenter. You can try renaming the vm vmxt vmx file, this would allow to add the file as a virtual machine, not model.

  But anyway, you will not be able to use to deploy from model or the options you have for cela vcenter.

• How to check the ESXi 4 installation location?

  We have server ESXi 4.0 with 2 storage areas... I would check that it contains installation ESXi 4. How can I do this?

  Welcome to the VMware forums communities.  In the vSphere client, select Configuration > storage.  Select each data store, and then click Properties.  If you have ESXi installed on one of the LUNS, you'll see a bunch of partitions non-dos measuring device lists.

• How to check the ESXi for all VMhost root password in the VCenter?

  Hello

  Can anyone please he share way or any script to check the credentials of the VMware root?

  rather than trying to connect each VMhost ESX(I) with vsphere client is too much of a work

  The reason for which the supplied LucD script does not work is because you have to change $_ to $esx (see below). You use the $_ when your piping output of one command to another. Given that we use, we use a loop Foreach access us the individual elements of the command Get-VMHost through the defined variable (the $esx in the 3rd line)

• Where is the location of the log files to diagnose the ESXi host server is rebooted?

  Hi all

  Last night one of my ESXi host has rebooted itself for some unknown reason, is it possible to look in the log which make it restart?

  I have access to this URL: https://ESXi02/host is it possible to know what can cause her to restart while a sudden?

  Thank you.

  The best option for ESXi newspapers must collect through the VI client. VMware recommends not any diagnosis directly on the console of the server because it has a small hyperviser and no service console.

• Attempt vSwitch configuration change and now the ESXi host and virtual machines offline

  So I have no doubt, I have myself to blame for this one. I was trying to change my vSwitch from 100 Mbps to 1000 Mbps when an 'operation timed' error out jumps-to the top and my vCenter Server lost connection with my ESXi host. I tried to restart the host manually, but that did not help. The host is not the ping requests and all the virtual machines on that host are offline; None of them vMotion off to my other ESX Server.

  I tried to reconnect the host computer in vCenter, but it is obviously does not connect because it can't ping it. I logged the ESXi console and all the network settings appear to be correct. I'm used to connect to the ESX console where you can execute commands, but it's my first ESXi host, so I don't know what I can do.

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  -D.

  If you had your management port and VMs on different vSwitches / NIC leave on framework would eliminate a false positive. As in your case the management port reportedly follows the cable / about speed, but the virtual machine network would be intact (and I'm assuming that your storage space as well).  In this case the VMs system would have worked very well even if the management port did not work.

• Help: The ESXi host has no persistent storage

  We have an ESXI 5.0 installed on our Dell server and we have some virtual machines running. suddenly, we had a mistake on Vsphere client.

  "EXSI host has no persistent storage.

  To run the virtual machine, create at least a data store for the maintenance of the machines virtual and other system files. »

  to resolve this problem, so we tried.

  On Vsphere client (connected to the ESXI)-> configuration-> storage-> rescan all... once the re-scanner has been done.

  We are able to see the file was mounted on the data store and it is lost in a minute. so it isn't permanently mounted to the data store to access the virtual machine.

  Once we do the re-scan once again, we saw that the file has been fitted to the data store and lost again.

  assemble and disassemble is to continue to switch.

  We need a solution to fix the problem, or in the worst case we need a way to recover the Esxi machine (VMS) data.

  Kindly share the reflections.

  It should be a disk error, it is local storage that tempt you and the virtual machine files are stored in the local disk

  don't forget to check the logs on the bit/ucs, regardless of the remote management tool, you use...

  Please check the log files and vobd.log vmkernel

• The ESXi host upgrade, replicas linked clones

  I am trying to upgrade my 5.1 to 5.5 ESXi ESXi hosts.  I have some clone bound view pools and their replicas that has been created.  Given that these replicas are instant, they can be vmotioned.  What is the best method of upgrading a host ESXi replicas with snapshots on it? Just upgrade the host and let the lines where they are?

  Thanks in advance.

  From my experience every time you put the host in maintenance the replica mode is moved offshore to another host in the cluster.   You can then perform you upgrade with no problems.

• Add the Active Directory group to the ESXi host permissions

  I am trying to add a group of ads as an administrator directly to an ESXi host (not in vCenter).  I tried to use the following code:

  $domain = "mydomain".

  $group = "mygroup".

  $svcaccount = $domain + "\" + $group

  $folder = get-file-name "ha-folder-root".

  $authMgr = get-View Manager

  $perm = new-Object VMware.Vim.Permission

  $perm.principal = $svcaccount

  $perm.propagate = $true

  $perm.group = $true

  $perm.roleid = ($authMgr.RoleList | where {$_.}) ({Name - eq "Admin"}). RoleId

  $authMgr.SetEntityPermissions (($folder |)) Get - View). MoRef, $perm)

  I get the following error:

  You can not call a method on a null value expression.

  $authMgr.SetEntityPermissions < < < < (($folder |)) Get - View). MoRef, $perm)

  When it is connected to ESX the Manager Id is "Manager-ha-authmgr" you may not use the shorter expression of Get-View:

  $authMgr = Get-View AuthorizationManager
  

  The safe way to get the Manager display is via ServiceInstance object:

  $si = Get-View ServiceInstance
  $authMgr = Get-View $si.Content.AuthorizationManager

• Check the ESX host disk space

  Is there a tool available that can control the ESX host disk space on a daily basis?  I was monitoring manually by typing df - h, but having more than 25 guests is tedious, so I wonder if there is any tool available which can monitor the disk space on the ESX host?  Thanks in advance.

  Check cela http://bash.cyberciti.biz/monitoring/shell-script-monitor-unix-linux-diskspace/, put it in the crontab and run it as offen, as you want.

• Configure the firewall on the esxi host 4

  Team Kia Ora

  I built an esxi host 4 on a piece of the material I had to hang around, as you do!

  I'm eager to open ports in firewall on the host.  I can't tick all the ports incoming and outgoing, I need tab of safety profile VC client (configuration of the host), and then select Properties.  Also the esxcfg-firewall command is missing, even when I use a UMA VMware to place orders RCI to the host, there doesn't seem to be available.   ?:|

  See attachment "... - nzwlg - stack - 1.png".

  On esx 3.5 or esx 4, I use the host configuration SecurityProfile tab, select Properties, click on the appropriate ports and in and facts. This feature seems to have moved/missing?

  Also, strangeness, is that I have another esxi installation 4 which has the parameters display correctly under the Securityh profile | Properties tab. ?  (attachment "... - nzwlg - pile2.png")

  Any help greatly appreciated and have a great week! =)
