Good morning,

I just updated one of my ESXi servers from 5.0 to 5.5.   Everything seemed to go OK during the update, until the ESXi server rebooted, when it came up with a PSOD.

If I cold boot the server from a power-off state, it boots fine with no errors and comes up and reports "compliant" to vCenter.

If I reboot it via vCenter, it comes up with the PSOD again.

The details of the PSOD are below.    Has anyone else seen anything similar, or know what the issue is?

I got the PSOD by taking a cameraphone pic of the PSOD screen, running it through OCR, and fixing the errors, so if something doesn't make sense, there may still be some typos in it.   I've attached the original PSOD screenshot for reference.

I am trying to upgrade vcenter 5.1 u1b to u1c but when i run the sso installation

wen prompted for the sso administrator password, it keeps saying

the passwod provided is wrong or empty.

but I am able to login to vsphere web client as admin@system-domain wih he same password.

any idea?

when i go to this url

https://vc:8443/cim-ui/

I got an error shown. why is that? I am unable to bring up any hardware status on some of my hosts in this virtualcenter.

I have a few virtual machines that I want to be accessible from different Mac's (not at the same time) and be 'mobile' (I need to take them with me).

- I could use a external SSD (but this is not practical since the size of an external SSD disk),

- I could use a USB 3.0 flash drive (64GB or 128GB), size is OK but what about performance?

- Using a VPS cloud provider for these specific VM's?

- Other???

I would like getting some suggestions as what would be my best bet?

Thanks.

vmnet fails to build on an Ubuntu trusty system running 3.13.0-1-generic, although the module builds fine on earlier kernels.

Admittedly, 14.04 isn't anywhere near release, and is most certainly not a supported platform for Workstation 10.0.1. That said, if there's a straightforward fix I can apply to enable building the module, that'd be nice.

Hi,

I want to know if is there a way to create user and give him authorization to manage only one specific vm machine.

For example give him right to take snapshot and revert.

Tank you

Saad.

Just wondering if anyone using Arcserve r16.5 successfully knows how to overcome this error i get when i run a job.  I wish to backup a VM through the VM agent etc.  Its configured for RAW etc.

I have two hosts, one windows server and a linux server, both 64bit which are targets for backup.

Arcserve Proxy host (vm agent) is configured correctly and reports the VMs to the management console correctly.  CBT is enabled on the two disk objects (partitions) correctly:

(ctkEnabled = "TRUE")

(scsi0:1.ctkEnabled = "TRUE")

(scsi0:1.ctkEnabled = "TRUE")

Many thanks for any insights.

Hello guys

Got a problem and need your help if possible.

Hardware:  UCS C220 x3 , UCS C460(Bios 1.5) x2

When move VM from C220 to C460, show bellow error message. Check KB 1034926, can not find any option AES from C460 BIOS config.  Enabled EVC for C460, still same.

====Quote from KB1034926====

Solution

1. Check your BIOS settings for an option to enable the features (look for "AES" or "Advanced Encryption Standard").   
2. Ask your system vendor for a new BIOS to enable the features. 
3. If you are unable to enable the features, use a Nehalem or earlier EVC cluster for these CPUs if you need to vMotion between them.

Hi,

Is anyone here running Wyse WTOS based thin clients within their Horizon View 5.3 environment? I'm planning our upgrade from 5.1.2 to 5.3 and the only thing I've not been able to test is whether the Wyse thin clients will actually connect successfully. If someone could confirm that would put my mind at rest.

Is anyone aware of any minimum firmware version restrictions on the Wyse side for comparability with the latest versions of View? I can't seem too find this information on the Wyse site.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

We are trying to monitor Jboss as 7 and Jboss 6 in our environment.

I can see only Availability metric for Jboss 6.

can any one help me, do I need any other configuration?

Thanks in Advance,

Hi,

Currently I'm studying towards VCAP-DCD. As my main experience lies within the administrator part of vSphere (VCP5 and VCAP5-DCA passed), design is a whole new world for me. I'm currently working through the official certification guide, and after that the vSphere design book by Scott Lowe. The theory of this exam / part seems fairly hard, but OK to understand. However, are there some mock or design examples somewhere to get a glimpse at how VMware would like you to design an architecture for a vSphere platform.

Any ideas / tips?

Thanks

Hi

I would like to install windows 8 on my current esxi 4.1 environment, of course without success. I receive the error about that

HAL_Initialization_Failed

I've found serveral forums that only workstation 8 and new esxi5 with patch2 is able to install Windows 8.

Is there any solution regarding windows 8 on esxi 4.1 ?

It would be great, because I must not upgrade to esxi 5

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I am trying to install ESXi 5.5 inside KVM. I followed the steps given in https://communities.vmware.com/message/2322858#2322858 i.e.

1) Applied the QEMU patch (using qemu verion 1.7.0)

2) Provided busSpeedMayVary=TRUE at boot time.

3) Selected the e1000 network adapter. (I am using virt-manager to install ESXi in the VM

I got through the first few step but when I reach the screen with "Select a Disk to Install or Upgrade", there are no storage devices listed there. (Screenshot attached)

I provisioned the VM with 2 vcpus, 4GB Memory, and 40GB storage (good enough ?).

The end of the serial console log says this:

Hello to all. I want to ask a question.
I have make a virtual machine with win 8 and i want to use a software.

My laptop is HP brand and the software wants Samsung laptop to work.

Is it possible to say to virtual machine to emulate and say that it's a Samsung PC?

Thank you.

Regards

The Storage Certification Guide says in the section "Configuring Virtual Machines and Storage for VAAI - ATS, BlockZero, and FullCopy Tests" :

NOTE The boot virtual disk for the virtual machines used in the test should not exceed 6GB.

But according to the same manual I've configured all VM boot disks size 20GB.

Does it mean I should reinstall all 16 VMs ???

Hi,

Info:

Server hard drive size: 4TB

What are the limitations on increasing a Windows Server virtual machine disk space size? For example, if win2k8 C: is 80GB, can I increase it to say to the maximum of 4000GB (eg. only 1 VM on host)?

I'm getting a new server and I would like to give the VMs small drives and increase disk space as necessary in the future as needed. How do I find out how much disk space can the drive be increased by?

If I start with smaller drives, does that mean I won't be able to increase the disk space as much as the VMs with bigger drives?

Thanks

Hello,

I have built a lab with a couple of Dell 2950s so far, a brocade SAN switch and a EMC cx-200.  I have had the CX200 for over 10 years and it works perfectly :-)  nice piece of kit for a lab as far as I am concerned...

Not sure if there is anyone that even remembers these, but I am taking a stab in the dark here...

My problem is that my ESXi hosts don't seem to register with it.  (everything works fine, the hosts see all the storage) On the cx-200 I see no hosts.  Normally with our new VNX, hosts automatically register their WWN.  That doesn't seem to happen with my cx-200, so I expect the flare isn't new enough, or it may never have been supported.

There is a way to add hosts manually, but surprisingly, it asks for an IP rather than a WWN.  When I put the IP of the ESXi hosts in, it says it can't communicate with the host... which didn't surprise me very much.

So I am guessing that maybe there is an agent that needs to go on the ESXi hosts for this to work as I can't seem to find any settings in ESXi configuration to push the registration to an IP address.

Does anyone know if there is an agent that goes on ESXi hosts?  and if so is it abvailable, or would this be something from EMC I suppose that they will no longer have or give out as they want me to buy a NEW SAN :-( which I am obviously not going to do for my lab...

Any comment or ideas on this would be much appreciated.  It's not vital, but I really wanted to mask one of the LUNs on the SAN as I will be connecting more hosts to it which will be running RHEV.  Obviously I can mask the LUNS at the ESXi esxcli level... but just wondered if this is a dead end or not on the SP side

Thanks

Bill

Hi All,

I am hoping for a little help as I have spent the last 4 hours searching the internet for an answer and cant find one!

I have a relatively simple ESXi setup which I am using for a development platform. I am currently only using one NIC on the host server which is connected to a physical switch which the rest of the production network for the company is using.

What I am trying to do is establish a simple test network with three servers, a DC, another member server and an Exchange server. The DC is setup to perform DHCP using the 192.168.1.x range. The DC has two virtual NICs, one connected to a vswitch which is connected to the physical switch and the second NIC which goes to a separate vswitch which the other servers are connected to. The reason for DHCP is so that the tech team can create new VM machines with different OS's and don't need to worry about setting up static IPs each time. The DC receives a IP from the production network on the 192.168.0.x network range.

As a picture shows a thousand words here is the network config:

The problem that I have is that some devices on the production network are getting an IP address assigned to them from the DHCP server on the VM instead of the DHCP in the production network. I have current unauthorised the DHCP server to stop this happening but cant find a way to isolate the DHCP server so that it only gives IP address to VMs connected to vSwitch1.

Many thanks,

Scott

Hay there!

I'm trying to export some data from my VC to CSV and I got stuck mid-way.

What I need is a CSV file with these headers: "VM_Name", "VM_Datastore", "VM_NIC0_MAC", "VM_NIC1_MAC" .

All the VM's are in the same cluster, and with a name containing the pattern "*\(*\)" . (all VM's with a vCD name extension).

So far I managed to get only the names in the output, and I'm having a hard time getting the rest of the information out.

This is what I did:

Get-Cluster "QA" | get-vm | Select-String -Pattern "\(*\)" | Select-Object Line | Export-Csv C:\Export.csv

As you can see, It's far from even coming close to what I need, so any help would be much appreciated...

Get-Cluster "QA" | get-vm | Select-String -Pattern "\(*\)" | Select-Object Line | Export-Csv C:\Export.csv
