Imagine an ESXi host with local disks used as VMFS datastores.

Is there any way to allow other ESXi hosts access the local VMFS datastores as NFS shares?

A consultant says it should be possible, but I was unable to locate the related documentation.

Can anybody please help?

ESXI 6.5 Free License ?

I'm looking for a way to view hardware stats with ESXi 6.7 on a Dell Precision T7610.

I want to be able to use Open Manage Tools / Essentials, but having no luck. I installed the VIB from https://vinfrastructure.it/2018/08/dell-emc-omsa-vsphere-6-7-vib/ , but doesn't appear this enables anything for me.

Or do I need to install Open Manage on a guest OS and somehow pass through the T7610 to that VM? It's also possible that the T7610 isn't supported at all with OMSA.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi All,

I have supermicro hardware and installed freshly ESXi 6.0.0 update 2.

When i check the raid controller version,im seeing two different drivers version. Why it is showing ?

Also i could not able to find out the RAID firmware version command. May i know what is the command?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

I have a windows 10 VM and I have passthough my usb controller to it ... I can connect a mouse and keyboard to it and it works great.

However when I try to connect a usb dvd writer to it... it cannot burn any dvds... and when I try to connect a usb harddrive to it... the harddrive lights up but it is not detected properly; the partitions do not show up.

Any idea what is wrong?

After create and run 100 containers on 10 CentOS VMs for 8 hours, some of the VMs reboot itself with docker service in stopped state.

This was not happening when created VMs were installed with Ubuntu 16.04.

Below is the bare metal info and VM info:

- 1 bare metal with 80 CPU, 512G memory, 1TB disk

- 10 VMs on the bare metal

- each VM has 8 CPU, 32G memory, 100G thin provisioned disk

In /var/log/dmesg there's no error or shutdown log.

In /var/log/message there're error|shutdown|kernel logs.

I googled around and found most solutions were to check hardware, but weird though with same hardware Ubuntu runs well.

Let me know if you experience the same and how you resolve the issue. Thanks!

Trying to power on certain VMs (imported from Workstation) after this upgrade gives the following error:

An error was received from the ESX host while powering on VM Example VM.
Failed to start the virtual machine.
Module DevicePowerOn power on failed.
Could not set up "macAddress" for ethernet0.
Invalid MAC address specified.
00:0C:29:nn:nn:nn is not an allowed static Ethernet address. It conflicts with VMware reserved MACs.

(I've replaced the specific address with NNs.)

How do I override this?  It is not possible to change the MAC address of the VM.

What is mean that Tech Support Mode (TSM) timeout is not enabled for host xxxxx . What should I do in my environment ? is it critical ?

i got a esxi 6.5 server that is not booting . its stuck here. any idea ? ALT-F12 is not bring up anythong

Hi. I have an ESXi 6.7 host and I need to add BCM57810 card to it, but with the card installed I get pink screen with

MEM_ALLOC bora/vmkernel/main/memmap.c:3950

cr0=0x8001003f cr2=0x0 cr3=0x100168000 cr4=0x38

I updated firmware of the card to the latest I could find: 14.07.06

I installed 1.0.69.1 version of qfle3 driver.

Every time I try to boot with the card inserted it fails. Without the card the host is working without problems. What can I do?

Hi guys,

In esxi 6.7.0 9484548

we have below logs in vmkernel and vmkwarning. and we got strange datastore latency spike (over 10P sec) on some VMs.

is there any relationship between these latency and below logs?

in vmkernel.log

Thank you.

Hi Folks,

We have an ESXi host  that is running a single VM, piloting a VM for a phone system.  A few days ago the whole system crashed host and VM were unavailable and had to be powered off to restore any connectivity to it. We've gone through all the VMWare logs had a look in the HP iLO and cannot find any obvious reasons.

The only log that has some sort of indication of something up is the syslog.log file, but there are so many errors in this, as below, are these actual errors being reported?

Thanks in advance

Alex

We have a requirement to connect ISCSI storage with several ESXi servers; Storage should be shared across all ESXi servers. My question is which of the following is the best practice for creating ISCSI targets

1) Create a single ISCSI target and add all the ESXi servers below.

2) Create different ISCSI targets for each ESXi server.

I'm trying to replace my existing linux server/hipervisor/nas with esxi 6.5. I have implemented in my network VLANs for segregating IOT traffic, management and trusted network. The router is an opnsense bare metal machine that I also would like to virtualize. The switch is a L3 dlink and the ports for server and router are configured as trunk (as per dlink, admit all tagged and untaggged) and the server connects using two ports in LAG. This is the configuration for both LAG ports:

So I installed ESXI and added the second mobo nic for teaming and changed vlan to 4095 that I understand is for allowing all tags. Then on the GUI I added to the vswitch the port groups for my VLANs and tagged them. So I have this:

*there is 666 VLAN because I plan on virtualize the firewall/router.

So there I'm creating VMs on their respective groups, but I can't connect them to the network. testnet there is a virtual machine with linux for testing purposes.

I had configured the management network VLAN to 1, as I wanted it to be on the management VLAN and it got an IP for the correct network. Now on 4095 it gets IP from the trusted lan, so that tells me that the router dhcp and the switch are working correctly. (I've put it back to 1)

Why machines don't get communication?

EDIT: I've tried adding another port group with vlan 0 and linking the testing vm with another vnic, and then it gets IP from dhcp and connects to the network. (Gets IP but still no networking)

I've taken a look at the DHCP server and seen that it has plenty of offline and expired leases for the testing vm and others. The MACs descriptions shows "VMware, Inc." so I don't know what may be happening.

I encontered an strange error, when  i try to power on a VM (or change VM configuration)  through a vCenter the error message appears :An error occured while communicating with remote host

ESXi host disconnect immediately (5-10 sec)  after clicking PowerOn button. All VMs are work fine, only ESXi host disconnect from vCenter.

I try change config.vpxd.heartbeat.notrespondingtimeout=120.   

VMware Knowledge Base

But the problem still remains.

I had the same happen in vSphere 5.5 and 6.5.

I have meet this error every power up VM.

The vpxd.log is empty.

Hi Folks,

I am trying to understand the word Perennial devices and not getting the right information.

It would be great if some one help me to understand what is perennial and how it will impact the ESXi host.

I performed a clean install of ESXi 6 with provided HP image (ESXi-6.0.0-2494585-HP-600.9.1.39-Mar2015).
Access to and from datastores over network through vSphere Client (6.0.0-2502222) is very slow - ~10 Mbps (  there are several hundreds under ESXi 5.5)
I'm suspecting that ESXi 6 limits CPU resources used by host system to 230 MHz.
I can't edit "System Resource Reservation" parameters (contrary to ESXi 5.5, where I can edit them and switch to Simple or Advanced view).

Hello all,

I have/had a local datastore comprising of 3 disks. One of the disks have failed and fortunately I only lost 1 VM. The issue is that now I have the following:

[root@test-vmw:/dev/disks] vmkfstools -P -h /vmfs/volumes/datastore1

VMFS-5.61 (Raw Major Version: 14) file system spanning 3 partitions.

File system label (if any): datastore1

Mode: public

Capacity 2.7 TB, 1.1 TB available, file block size 1 MB, max supported file size 62.9 TB

Disk Block Size: 512/512/0

UUID: 5710114e-deec2c28-5dda-001018f08ddc

Partitions spanned (on "lvm"):

        t10.ATA_____Hitachi_HUA722010CLA330_______________________JPW9P0N03KWDKD:1

       (device t10.ATA_____ST31000528AS________________________________________6VPG53JQ:1 might be offline)

        t10.ATA_____WDC_WD10EZEX2D22RKKA0_________________________WD2DWMC1S5972516:1

        (One or more partitions spanned by this volume may be offline)

Is Native Snapshot Capable: YES

[root@test-vmw:/dev/disks]

Now, I am trying to add a new disk to this datastore and I am getting an error:

2018-10-10T09:47:48.872Z cpu2:2099193 opID=2f3a8b94)LVM: 10679: Error adding space (0) on device t10.ATA_____Hitachi_HDP725050GLA360_______________________GEA534RJ14BEDA:1 to volume 57101140-d0590300-8662-001018f08ddc: VMFS volume missing physical exten$

I guess I need to fix the offline issue before I can add any new disks?

Can someone guide me on what the steps are to fix the above issue.

Thanks in advance
