Y at - it an update for VMware ESX 4.1 update 1?
Dear friends;
I heard that VMware releases update for VMware ESX 4.1 update 1. Could you please tell me if this is correct?
And would you please reference me this article?
ESX will not available in vSphere 5.0. It will be always supported in the same way that VI 3.5 is still supported, however. Here's an official blog stating that ESX 4.1 is the latest major version of ESX.
With the release of VMware vSphere 4.1, we announced that 4.1 will be the last version of vSphere to support the ESX and ESXi hypervisor architectures.

vSphere 5 license for VMware ESX 3.5
Hallo
I have a couple of ESX 3.5 server that I need valid for vSphere 5 payments of lic. VMware (license Advisor) tool will not work with ESX 3.5, is there a toll there that I can use for ESX 3.5?
Nor will the one on the link below
http://www.virtu-al.NET/2011/07/14/vSphere-5-license-entitlements/
Thank you

the only thing I can think is that you manage your VI3 hosts with vCenter 4.x. If this is the case it is not supported.

Where can I download public source for VMware esx 4.0?
I need to build the SATA driver for motherboard Gigabyte P55-USB3L.
Thank you
Hello
Have a look here:
http://downloads.VMware.com/d/info/datacenter_downloads/vmware_vsphere_4/4#open_source
Generation of a driver yourself is not for the faint of heart, it is not a matter of recompiling everything simply a driver linux, you will need to modify the sources to adjust for the kernel as ESX does things differently.
Hope this helps,

Hi, already searched on this topic but did not find a clear answer.
After installing an ESX how to download ISOs to install virtual machines?
Thanks in advance.
You can WinSCP or browser data store.
Client CD or ISO customer (change the properties for the CD).

Migrate virtual machines Citrix Xen Server for VMWare ESX 3.5
Hi all. I have a requirement to retire a Xen server and migrate all the reviews virtual machines running on it on a newly developed VMWare infrastructure (wooo hooo).
Only problem, it's actually have to migrate these servers because their construction is relatively complex - so my question is:
Is it easy / what is the best method to convert our Xen Server VM (all Windows Server 2003) in some form of transferable file and import into the new VMWare infrastructure?
Thoughts, ideas and experiences welcomed!

IPSec on VMWare ESX 5.1 communication problems
Hello
We have 2 computer systems. You running us VMWare ESX 5.1 and the other is running Ubuntu 14.04. We have problems for IPSec to work between the two systems. We cannot find any documentation or known issues with IPsec on VMWare ESX 5.1, so we're going to reach out to the community.
Here's what we did:
1. we configured Ubuntu and VMWare systems to use IPv6, we can ping each other using IPv6.
2. we configure IPSec on an Ubuntu operating system by following the instructions below:
https://help.Ubuntu.com/community/IPSecHowTo
3. we have followed the instructions below to configure IPsec on VMWare.
Here's the problem:
When 2 Ubuntu systems run IPsec, they are able to ping each other. However, when allow us IPSec communications between VMWare and Ubuntu, the ping is suspended.
Here is the result of the configuration of command esxcli on VMWare:
UBUNTU. IPv6.ADDRESS-> Ubuntu IPv6 address
VMWARE. IPv6.ADDRESS-> address IPv6 from VMWARE

GoToDPSP UBUNTU. IPv6.ADDRESS/64 0 VMWARE. IPv6.ADDRESS/64 0 in ipsec transport GoToDPSA
Here's what we found:
After debugging the problem (using tcpdump), we found that the VMWare system sends the ESP packets, but never sends a package AH (required for IPSec authentication). Even when the encryption protocol is null, the system of VMWare would always send ESP packets, but never once sent a package of AH.
Here is the resulting execution trace: Ubuntu - ping-> VMWare:
...
IP6 UBUNTU. IPv6.ADDRESS > VMWARE. IPv6.ADDRESS: AH(spi = 0 x 00000256, seq = 0 x 16): ICMP6, an echo request, seq 1, length 64

IP6 VMWARE. IPv6.ADDRESS > UBUNTU. IPv6.ADDRESS: ESP(spi = 0 x 00000300, seq = 0 x 3), length 160
Summary:
There seems to be a problem with IPSec in VMWare ESX 5.1 on IPv6.
We noticed that the downloads section of the site support provided patches for VMWare ESx 4.x and earlier, but lack of patches for VMWare ESx 5.x.
Are there known issues in this area or available patches to fix this problem? Your kind suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Sorry for the late reply, but here the analysis of what is happening and why you are experiencing a problem.
The Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) to IPsec protocol will encrypt a payload of the packet and can
Optionally authenticate the packages as well. You do not include orders allowing you to set the
Security Association (SA) and political security (PS), but the output in your post indicates that you
you want to encrypt the payloads both authenticate packets in mode of transport between the hosts.
I don't know why the Ubuntu IPsec HowTo examples using protocols AH and ESP to encrypt and
authenticate the packets. In our view, it is best done in a single step with ESP, ESXi only
offer the option of AH with IPsec. Of course, this requires configuring the ESXi server and your
The host with a configuration of IPsec compatible Ubuntu (or any other operating system).
To illustrate, suppose the ESXi server has the address 2001:db8:1 and the host of Ubuntu has the
address 2001:db8:2. We will use cbc-3des for encryption of the useful and hmac-sha2-256 load for integrity
authentication mode of transport - just like in your message.
On the ESXi host, the commands to do this might look like this (of course, you need to generate your)
own keys and not re-use those I did).

On your Ubuntu host, you need a compatible IPsec configuration. In general, on linux systems
use the command setkey BSD-door, this is done by changing the system-wide
in/etc/ipsec configuration file - tools.conf.

Capture the statistical support for VMware Cluster
Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my question. In the near future I will have a cluster vmware small I need to generate reports of use of resources on. I saw a tool called queryperf which seems to provide for all my needs and then some, but I'm not sure how get or use this tool.
I normally just jump on an esx host and try the command to see if I have it but I'm traveling at the moment and do not have access to one.
To wrap this up, I'm very keen to learn the following:
How no one acquires queryperf?
Where the tool lauched from? (by this I mean: guest operating system, command-line esx host, ect)
How to run on a cluster vm instead of a single server/client integer.
Thank you for reading my post and I thank you for your help.
I'm not aware of a tool called queryPerf, but there is a VI API method called queryPerf() that allows you to query the performance data of your vCenter/ESX (i) /VM (s) http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk25pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.PerformanceManager.html#queryStats
A great place to start to look for some samples or past issues/scripts/utilities that could be used to question the different associated performance stats is the VI API forums: http://communities.vmware.com/community/developer/managementapi?start=0
There are also a few utilities preset that you can watch, onethat may be of interest is the viperformance.pl which is part of the VI Perl Toolkit Utilities http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/viperl15/doc/perl_toolkit_utilities_idx.html
Also, here is a collection of news and recent documentation concerning the performance collection/analysis using VI SDK/API: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9840
Recently, VMware has started a new podcast for developers called the Coffee Talk where various topics concerning VI SDK/API/scripting/etc will be covered and the first two were related to the new vSphere SDK but she also had a lot of good practices on the collection of performance data that relate to the current VI 3.5 and coming vSphere 4.0 that you might find useful : http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9912
You will be able to use the queryPerf() call in various set of programming languages (Perl, c#, .NET, PowerShell, etc) who can communicate with the VI SDK via the SOAP API. Depending on the platform and what type of data you want to collect, this should help you get started.

Please tell me the process through withich I can update my inffrastructure with a time stop or errors.
Please tell me the process of update for VC.
I have 2.5U2 and U3 upgrade to U4, both with SQL Express or SQL Server without any particular problems.
Simply select the existing DB (instead of creating a new).
Some time (with SQL Express) the first time post reboot "Virtual Center Server" service does not start, in this case just start manually.

VMware ESX server update CD & 3WARE CONTROLLER
VMware has a cd ISO labled the following: VMware ESX Server 3.5 Update 3 driver for 3ware 9650SE and 9690SA SAS HBA controllers GCCA CD. The URL is: http://www.vmware.com/support/vi3/doc/drivercd/esx350-3w-9xxx-2.24.08.021vm35-146309.html#InstallESX
QUESTION: Anyone know if this drive works with ESXi 3.5? The downloads of the installation, update 3 or 4, I tried to load do not work for me. If this does not work, can you me where the download is that he asks? If this is not the case, the ISO EXSi can be modified to work.
The disc is for ESX only but if necessary you can extract the driver and use with ESXi. I had check ESXi was last updated yesterday and there is no 3ware with her driver. See the instructions here to create an oem.tgz file - http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/customize_oem_tgz.php. There is also a link to the 3Ware Update1/2 site of 3Ware driver. I check which driver is more recent and use it.

Options for patching ESX 3.5 other than the Update Manager?
I know that you have options like VMTS Patch Manager for the old version of ESX. Are there any other options that are free to patch my ESX servers? My clients are not running Virtual Center Update Manager is out of the qustion. Thank you in advance.
If you are in the search for free, you can still use the command line. The problem is that it is a bit complicated. Here is an article that I based my installation on: http://malaysiavm.com/blog/how-to-update-vmware-esx-patch-using-cli/

Hello Sara
You're talking Direct path IO or single root i/o virtualization? If so, none of these features are supported on the 2970 system.

Minimum number of VMware ESX for a HA cluster
Can someone please detail the minimum number of hosts vsphere required for a HA cluster?
I'm planning an implementation of the VMware farm including a number of ESX hosts that will be split into two groups. The first group will include vsphere servers that are hosting virtual machines NOT required for DR via SRM. The second group will be VMware ESX and VMs protected by SRM.
With respect to the SRM cluster, the number of virtual machines is minimal (5-6 virtual machines) and can run on a host unique vsphere. The thin HA I will include 2 vpshere hosts in this cluster. My question is therefore if 2 VMware ESX is OK for a HA cluster because I'm not sure what should be the minimum number?
Any guidance is appreciated.
Thank you
