You can enable CDP on a host with virtual machines running?

I want to activate CDP on my 3 hosts vShpere 4.1. Each host has about 20 guests on this subject. If I activate CDP via putty will affect the network connectivity of the virtual machines running on the vSwitch? Can I move all the VMS hospitality first?

Hi Letstub,

There is no need to evacuate your virtual machines from the vSwitch. Enable or disable CDP has no impact on the communications of the network of virtual machines. The following article that explains how to enable CDP mentions this prerequisite:

Good luck.

  • Extend a datastore in vCenter with virtual machines running

    We have expanded our Volume and unit number logic on our NetApp SATA VMStore from 2 TB to 4 TB, we now want to expand in vCenter, I'm ok to do this within office hours, while VMS are running on the data store?

    Going via configuration - storage - etc etc...

    It should be good. Off-peak hours are preferable, because you must make playback etc.

    This will not affect the virtual machine running inside.

    Unless there is a particular requirement, why not go with 2 TB Lun? I mean add another 2 TB logical unit number rather than add a measure?

  • Compare with virtual machines running VMs

    So, recently, we had a major problem in our environment where a ton of virtual machines registered of VC and even became unmaged by facilitators, so we had to go to each host compare managed virtual machines running virtual machines.  Is there a way to do this in Powershell?  My brain is fried so I didn't have much luck.  Thank you!

  • retrieve the VM from a dead host (see virtual machine running)

    Hi, I added a new host for my cluster with 3 guests and migrate a virtual computer to new host without any problems, this isn't a VM FT, all of a sudden showed host vCenter disconencted, but VM has increased and runing.

    I managed to RDP to VM for some time, but little VM latter also dead in the water. I have connected to the ESX console he showed a repetitive msg like 'sd0, 0, 0, 0 retry after 360 etc etc.

    So we decided to restart (force) the ESX, VM shows disconencted and ongoing run, I had an another VM in this host but did not work, I managed to remove the other VM inventry and don't add to inventry no problem there, it's now at another host.

    But my problem is with the one who was running when ESX descended, it is yet to see the runnibg but disconencted, I can't delete inventry, but if I navigate to the data store can I add to inventroy, but I hant done this yet.

    Any advice will be appreciated.

    (1) try run below console command service, or remotely via putty on running the VM ESX host:

    $service mgmt-vmware restart

    $service vmware-vpxa restart

    (2) if not,.

    $vmware - cmd-l (check the virtual machine registered under the correct ESX host)

    $vmware - cmd /vmfs/volumes/.../.vmx getstate (check whether or not the virtual computer is running)

    $vmware - cmd /vmfs/volumes/.../.vmx stop hard (hard, stop the virtual machine and then try to restart back your VM)

  • Question about the location of a host of virtual machines

    I work on temporarily to change the behavior of the DRS for a particular VM (in VI Perl), but my question is more general research of the root 'to host' for a particular virtual machine.

    The installation of the infrastructure program:

    + Folder1

    - + Cluster1

    -


    + Esx1

    -


    + VMs

    -


    + Esx2

    -


    + VMs

    .. .etc

    There are several clusters on different servers in this configuration.

    In order to manage the DRS by VM, I find the cluster that hosts the virtual machine.  The $vm_view - & gt; parent returns one 'value' (other than the name of folder) folder.  It seems that the only way to match the virtual machine to the cluster of accommodation is to do a brute force search, open multiple views and retrieve the values of each until I have a match, and then looking through each cluster in the corresponding folder to find the one that contains the virtual machine.

    Am I wrong?  It is an ugly and ineffective way to find the host for a virtual machine.  If I am not mistaken, are there plans for the addition of the hierarchy of the path to the view of the VM?

    A $view - & gt; config - & gt; value of path containing something like: file - & gt; Cluster - & gt; ESX Server - & gt; VM would be useful.  In addition, a function which maps values of resources to names of resources would be very helpful (with a code depend on a 'value' of the 'field-c125"and any other code that depends on a 'name' of"Cluster1"creates a lot of extra work).

    Thank you

    -David

    You can determine the Cluster that host a virtual machine by browsing through the ResourcePool of the virtual machine. Owner of the ResourcePool is the ClusterComputeResource who manages the virtual machine.

    $vm_view-> resourcePool->owner

    Also, to get the HostSystem that contains the Virtual Machine, you can follow the path

    $vm_view-> run-> home

    Regarding your suggestion to have a predefined path to access a managed entities, we have after explanation.  There are different paths through which you can access to the different managed

    entities of your inventory according to its hierarchy. Virtual Infrastructure gives you the flexibility to design your inventory. You can add a folder or host or a Cluster directly to your data center.

    Then it still allows a folder to have three objects as its child entity. If the path for any entity depends on the structure of your inventory. If a path can be set.

    All managed objects are uniquely identified managed objects ID. Name can be dupilcate for few entities in a data center, you can have two Resourcepools with the same name in different groups. Similarly, you can even named so that each entity is mapped using an object ID, and not a property 'name '.

  • You can use an external hard drive with the Mac Mini?

    I've seen videos that say that we cannot increase the ram on a min of Mac, but I'm curious if this works like an ordinary computer, if we can attach an external hard drive to store some of the memory to free up space. Sorry if this is something stupid just need to know what I can do with it.

    You can use an external hard drive to boot and run with any Mac. Its not going to improve or replace your ram. If you use a mechanical hard drive in any Mac then help and boot from an external drive, especially if it's a SSD will be significantly faster.

  • You can save the music from itunes with the sound recorder?

    You can save the music from itunes with the sound recorder?

    The principle is simple in nature, although the tape recorder is not the best option available for you, even in free software for audio recording you can.

    If you want to use sound recorder, you will need to get a 1/8 inch male-male stero (cable basically a helmet with two male ends) and put one of your speakers into your microphone in the port (line in).

    Then open sound recorder and give it a shot. The recorded files will be in .wav format, so you need to get a freeware to convert to program them to .mp3 if necessary. Or use this:

    http://www.media-convert.com/

    You can also use Windows Media Encoder 9, which in my opinion is much better in features and maintaining the quality. It is freely accessible to the public.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5691ba02-e496-465a-bba9-b2f1182cdf24&displaylang=en

    You use the same configuration that with tape recorder, get a stereo cable and speaker output connection > microphone.

  • Fixed host with Virtual SAN - host of recovery objective chess

    Hello community,

    I have a question about the failures of the host with Virtual SAN.

    We have 6 x ESXi hosts with (a 1 SSD and 7 hard drives) virtual SAN enabled. It is therefore possible to lost 2 ESXi hosts without a failure. Correct?

    Is it possible to define a rule based on the host that defines who is ESXi host target failure?


    For example:

    When host 1/6 breaks down, host 4/6 should start the VMs.

    When the 2/6 host goes down, host 5/6 should start the VMs.

    When the 4/6 host goes down, host 1/6 should start the VMs.

    When the 5/6 host goes down, host 2/6 should start the VMs.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Best regards from the Germany!

    Yes & No :-)

    To lose 2 ESXi hosts and continue to run all your virtual machines, you must define the number of failures to tolerate = 2 VM storage strategy and set this policy to the virtual machines.

    There is no way to create areas of the fault to VSAN currently however. Then VSAN will determine where them reconstructed objects when the failure of a host - this isn't something you can order now.

  • ESXi installation before vCenter Server?  How can I get vCenter Server on a virtual machine on ESXi servers?

    My plan for a new vSphere Essentials Plus 5.5 U2a installation is to have the vCenter Server on a virtual machine on the servers of the host on which is installed ESXi.  However, all the installation instructions I found indicate the user to first install the vCenter Server.  How can I get vCenter Server on a virtual machine on ESXi servers?

    Thank you for your help.

    Hi munkyman welcome to communities.

    After you have installed your first ESXi host, open a browser and go to https://your-ESXi-ip-or-FQDN

    You can download the vSphere Client here. It is a windows application that you can install on your desktop. It is often referred to as the "c# Client vSphere" in communities and blog posts, because it is a new implemented in the vCenter Server Web client.

    But for the beginning, install the vSphere Windows Client. You can then launch it and connect directly to your ESXi host. Here you can create your first virtual machine, which can be the VM vCenter (installation of Windows or device, that is you).

    You can use the web client or connect to the Server with the client c# vSphere vCenter VCenter runs.

  • go esxi hosts and virtual machines in one vCenter to another

    I built a new vCenter (Windows vCenter), I intend to move on ESXi hosts the old vCenter (Virtual appliance vCenter) to the new vCenter. I don't know if it's feasible, please notify my step is correct or not: 1) build a new vcenter 2) create a cluster with two esxi hosts first 3) Mount data (NetApp Filer Storage) to the new vCenter warehouses 4) add an empty host for the new vCenter VMs) 5 download then upload to the host in new vcenter

    Hi friend

    Its doable without any problem.

    Please follow the procedure below.

    1 build a new vCenter (your first step is correct)

    2 creating a cluster (because it is new vCenter there will not be any available host.) That is why cluster creation wizard will not get to add in the new cluster host). While initially empty cluster would be created.

    3. once the cluster is created, immediately do a right-click on the cluster and add your hosts one by one. Not necessary to cancel the registration and the VM. Virtual machines will automatically be added who were there on the data store available with all guests.

    Don't forget,

    1. we do not mount any store data in vCenter, we assemble the data store on the host.

    2. If you mount the new data store (which did not exist before), you can mount once the new hosts are added to the new cluster. (Your SAN admin help)

    3. If you want to move your virtual machines from data store before the newly added/mounted data store, please SVMotion these virtual machines (by right-clicking on the VM > migrate > data store > select the data store that is new)... Please follow the same procedure for all virtual machines.

    4. you don't need to add empty hosts to the new cluster, add just as soon as all guests without you register VMs. Later, you can migrate to other store of data according to the requirement. NO need to download or download the VM.

    5. Please make sure that your ESXi hosts will be compatible with the new vCenter. Old version of ESXi always compatible with the new version of vCenter. Just check if you have all valid licenses.

    Please let me know if you need any clarification
