Re: Use virtual Harddisk with NTFS Volume at two Servers simultaneously

0
0

You can easily move the virtual disks from the old server to new server without problems, but first make sure do the following:

 

1. remove any snapshots on old virtual machine;

2. shutdown the old virtual machine;

3. take note of the datastore and folder where the virtual hard disks is stored on old virtual machine;

4. remove the virtual hard disk from the old virtual machine; (make sure do not select the option Delete from Disk);

5. attach the old virtual hard disks on the new virtual machine, just clicking edit settings, select add virtual hard disk, choose use a Existing Hard Disk and point to the datastore/folder of the old virtual hard disks.

Earlier this year before the Intel 750 NVME Series I tried a few Flash configurations on the HBA. Nothing functioned    HCL'd Dell SAS 400GB SSD, Intel DC S3700, and non HCL stuff like Samsung EVO 850 Pros. The drives choked and the adapter. Completely unworkable at nearly every level. All in all NVME Flash is the only way to fly.

Sorry, but I didn't read your entire post, but take a look here: VMware KB: Installing vCenter Server 5.5 best practices

 

From the link above, one of requirements for install vCenter Server is:

  • Verify that the system on which you are installing vCenter Server is not an Active Directory domain controller.

 

There are some links on the internet showing how to install AD DS and vCenter on the same machine, but this is not a supported configuration.

vCenter Converter - Remote machine connection error (SSL Exception)

0
0

Hello,

I'm trying to create remote machine(Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise) as virtual one;  After I click "Convert Machine" --> select remote machine and entered the ipaddress:port and username/pwd, selected windows family, then click next to connect to the remote machine and I'm getting the below error.

 

"Unable to establish a secure communication channel between the vCenter Converter server and the remote machine at 127.0.0.2 on port 63896. Verify that the remote machine is running, the firewall is turned off, and the vCenter Converter agent service is running and listening on port 63896. Error details: 'SSL Exception: Unexpected EOF'."

 

Note : <useSsl>false</useSsl> is set in the converter-client.xml


Can you please help me to fix the above SSL error.

VMWare 7 Fusion on iMac 27" Retina running Windows 10 Preview - screen resolution

0
0

I am running VMWare 7 Fusion on iMac 27" Retina with Windows 10 Preview and have a screen resolution problem.

The best resolution I can use on the virtual machine (Windows 10) is 2560 X 1600.  That leaves about 1" black border on each side of the screen when in full view.

 

Is there any new graphics drivers for Windows on an iMac 27 Retina that will allow windows to take advantage of the screen resolution?

Or are there solutions for this??

Apologize for the delay. Over the last couple of day I updated my homelab to vSphere 6 (Thanks to EVALExperience) and am happy to report vSAN is running beautifully over the 20GB infiniband network.

Mac Pro (6,1) Multiple VM's

I have vSphere esxi 6.0 installed on a 2013 Mac Pro hosting two Yosemite 10.10.4 vm's. The problem that Im having is that I can't run them both at the same time. If I do, they lose connection to the host and I have to reboot the server.

The VM's are only using 2GB Ram, 2 processors and 128MB Graphics memory.

Any Ideas?


Thanks

Will NTP daemon stop when the time offset between the ESXi host and the remote NTP server is too high to be corrected automatically?

0

Hi all

 

I need your help.

I read the KB

http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1005092

 

****

In addition, a message similar to this may appear in the hostd.log file on ESXi 5.x:

[info 'ha-eventmgr'] Event 91 : NTP daemon stopped. Time correction 1206 > 1000 seconds. Manually set the time and restart ntpd.

****

 

the KB teach me, NTP daemon will down.

So I tried to create the situation, but ESXi ntpd always fix it's time with local_clock(0) before NTP damon down.

I can't confirm weather ntp daemon stop or not.

 

I want to know how can I confirm NTP daemon stopped ?

when the time offset between the ESXi/ESX host and the remote NTP server is too high to be corrected automatically.

 

Thank you for your help.

Re: How to make an Active Directory lab with VMWare Player.

I have checked the tutorials and found them very useful. However i'm using Windows Server 2012 R2 so there is a little tweaking to do. I got my lab to work fine with Windows 2K12R2.

 

I'm wondering how to update the virtual machine since in host only mode i have no access to internet. It's not very important right now, i've switch all of my virtual computers to bridge mode and updated them before adding the Active Directory role.

 

Thanks.

Re: Configure HA

0

Yes, HA will function normally. its just a recommendation to have 2 datastore  in your environment to go with the heartbeat.

You can enable it later on once you get a datstore attached to it. HA will still function. but some degraded functionality.

E.g Scenario : If you host network got disconnected for some time or lost access the ha will go for the datastore hearbeat after that to ensure if really network is not reachable but vms are available. in your case the ha will work but it will not find the datastore heartbeat and initiate the HA sametime.

hi all

when my host pc is in  vpn connection, I have no internet  connection in  a vmware virtual machine opened in bridged mode .  What I want to do is be connected to the  vpn network with my PC and connect the virtual machine to the local area network..

Sorry for my english, I'm italian. .

Re: Multiple distributed switches with same vlans?

0
0

You can on standard switch. two different hosts with their own standard switch. no problem having same name on network with same vlanid.

 

Host1:

Standardswitch (vswitch0):

Networkname: internalnetwork -> vlanid1

 

Host2:

Standardswitch (vswitch0):

Networkname: internalnetwork -> vlanid1

        

No problem vmotioning between host1 and host2. No need to redefine network on vmotion.

 

 

 

But if I create two distributed switches, i seem to need to have different names on the network.

Host1:

distributedswitch1 (uplinkports attached to host1):

Networkname: internalnetwork1 -> vlanid1

 

Host2:

Distributedswitch2(uplinkports attached to host2):

Networkname: internalnetwork2 -> vlanid1

 

Vmotion between host1 and host2 needs webclient and we need to redefine network src and dst, because it's different names.

 

 

Host1 and host2 is the example is in two different clusters. I understand that distributed switch can span over multiple hosts(that's why I want to use it), but I don't understand why naming can't be the same on two distributed switches. is it because a host can have two distributed switches attached  on different uplinks? because if you got only got one distributed switch on one host and a different distributed switch on another one, I really can't understand why there is a limitation of naming.
