Is there any reason I shouldn't be able to add a VM to a port group that contains a vmknic?  That port group doesn't show up as an option.

Hello,

I am running ESXi 6.7 and I have enabled hugapages support as per Huge Pages

but this still doesn't do anything

cat /proc/meminfo | grep -i huge

AnonHugePages:    329728 kB

ShmemHugePages:        0 kB

HugePages_Total:       4

HugePages_Free:        4

HugePages_Rsvd:        0

HugePages_Surp:        0

Hugepagesize:       2048 kB

This should be to 1G

The other parameters seem to go well:

cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages

Hi,

I need to upgrade VMWare Esxi hosts from 5.0 to 6.5 version.

My Hardware is Cisco UCS B200 M2 Blade Servers and all the blade Servers are in HA in 5.0 Esxi and there are around 50 VMs running on it.

Please guide me step by step process or procedure for doing the above migration with out impacting these 50 VMs.

Looking forward your reply at the earliest.

I am using ESXi 6.7  and 6.5 versions. How can I change the hostname and UUID (instanceUUID ) of the vms on my ESXi host. When I run the command hostname in one of the linux vms , it returns a valid value. However, the hostname is not set in the guest info.
I have checked usinf MOB and vim-cmd vmsvc/get.guest <vmid> | grep hostName command

How do I set and edit these values.

Hi,

I am trying to find the esxi version using guest operating system using Linux and windows.

I am trying vmware tools installation automatically using puppet. I will keep files in centralized http server and make them available to all the clients in this case all VMware guest operating system. We have to  install vmware tools based on ESXI version so before I am pulsing different version of vmware tools I want to make sure whether guest operating is running on ESXI 5, 5.1, 5.5, 6.0. If i able fetch esxi version using guest operating system then my job will be easy. Please help

I appears that I must add another TCP/IP stack so that I can route traffic from a different vmknic to a different gateway.

I must be going about this wrong.

The host has two interfaces.  One is on a private network, the other public.  I have  vmknic0 defined and attached to vSwitch0 on the private interface using the default tcp/ip stack with default gateway on the same network.  I'm able to create vmknic1 attached it to vSwitch1 on the public interface but how to add the appropriate routes?

I read that "Configurations with more than one vmknic interface on the same IP subnet not supported".   But is this my configuration?   I vmknics are on very different subnets.

The problem I'm looking to solve is how to allow for internet bound traffic to egress my host (for monitor pings, alert emails etc). I guess I could use vsphere (which I am also using).

Thanks for any insights.

Good Afternoon,

I have an issue I am currently experiencing. Over the past week or so my ESXi 6.0 (Host #1) starts locking up (40 VM servers). Networking ports (4 Ethernets) lock up and I lose connectivity with the host itself and all of the VMs.

The first time I could not log in via the UI to shutdown the VMs inside and I at the time did not know how to shut them down using the CLI so it was hard rebooted. The VMs came back up luckily however I was sweating what damage could have taken place. The screen turned pink (or whatever that color is and then there was a Coredump information. I have yet to conduct full research on what that entails.

The second time it locked up which was two days later I was relieved to know that vMotion had pushed all the VMs to the ESXi Host #2 and again received the Coredump information.

Could my server be dying?  It is a HP Proliant DL580 G7.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ed

Hello Folks,

Currently I'm setting a Password policy on our ESXi host 6.7, however I'm unable to find the setting that a password history of at least 4 is being retained. Is there any specific syntax or parameter to add in the policy policy. Currently, I have "retry=3min=disabled,disabled,16,7,7". Any suggestions please. Thanks!

Hi,

i didnt find any informations, so i am trying here.

I am using Esxi 6.5, this morning i was checking logs and i saw lot of lines with some error messages.

All seems to work well, i don't see any trouble on VM. Esxi is running like a charm.

But i Get this kind of messages in syslog:

2020-07-09T02:52:41Z addVob[110227]: Could not expand environment variable HOME.

2020-07-09T02:52:41Z addVob[110227]: DictionaryLoad: Cannot open file "/usr/lib/vmware/config": No such file or directory.

2020-07-09T02:52:41Z addVob[110227]: DictionaryLoad: Cannot open file "~/.vmware/preferences": No such file or directory.

I saw lof of people on internet with same messages in their log, but none seems to care about it.

Do anyone get info on how can i get/generate this /usr/lib/vmware/config files ?

Or anyway to solve this logs messages ?

Thanks

Hello,

I need an accurate method of conducting an inventory of all the physical drives installed into each of our ESX hosts.  They are on ESXi 6.5.0.

We had two hard drives fail simultaneously in a Dell server.  We traced the problem to this bulletin:  Dell EMC Enterprise SSDs, model numbers LT0200MO, LT0400MO, LT0800MO, LT1600MO, LT0800RO, LT1600RO, LT0200WM, LT0400WM …  

We need to inventory all our Dell products to ensure there aren't any more of these drives in our environment.

Need help on this quickly!  Ideally, it will be something I can cut and paste into the CLI to obtain make, model and serial number of each physical hard drive installed.

Need detailed instructions with any code posted.  Thank you in advance for any help.

According to the ESXi 7.0 manual it is possible to "set the number of displays and extend the screen across them." here.

What are the requirements to get this feature to work?

Hello Folks,

We have currently "VMware ESXi, 6.7.0, 16316930" and on Skyline health I could see this "Concurrent-context attack vector vulnerability in Intel processors". Is there any work around for this issue from HPE or VMware to mitigate this issue?

Thanks!.

Did anybody else experience CPU thermal issues after patching to latest ESX 7.0b 16324942 build?

I'm using Supermicro SYS-E300-9D-8CN8TP with Xeon D-2146NT. BIOS 1.3

CPU temperature goes berzerk during ESX boot. Same host on Ubuntu-Live CD is fine.

4 hosts affected. 3 with critical temperature >98C and one >80C. Problem occured right after patching and host reboot. Cluster was fine on 7.0 GA.

I noticed there was a microcode update included.

Read details on findings here: https://www.elasticsky.de/en/2020/07/strange-thermal-issue-after-update-to-esxi-7-0b/

I guess it's system specific. Yet the E300-9D is HCL compliant.

Can anyone confirm?

TIA

Hi,

I have VMWare vSphere ESXi 6.5 VM and Linux VM deployed on a physical ESXi 6.5. Both have identical network configuration - Linux VM is absolutely fine to access from anywhere in the network, but unable to access the VM with Guest OS ESXi

I can reach the ESXi VM from it’s physical system and from the Linux VM without any issue. I am also able to reach all systems from the ESXi VM. But packet drops when trying to reach the ESXi VM from any other system in the network.

Can anyone suggest what could be the potential cause here.

'Promiscuous mode' and 'Forget Transmits' are enabled for vSwitch on physical host.

Hi,

I'm running a homelab with ESXi 6.7 (13006603). I got three nics in my host, two are onboard and one is an Intel ET 82576 dual-port pci-e card. All nics are assigned to the same vSwitch; actually only one is connected to the (physical) switch atm.

When I'm using one of the 82576 nics and put heavy load on it (like backing up VMs via Nakivo B&R) the nic stops workign after a while and is dead/Not responding anymore. Only a reboot of the host or (much easier) physically reconnecting the nic (cable out, cable in) solves the problem.

I was guessing there is a driver issue, so I updated to the latest driver by intel:

[root@esxi:~] /usr/sbin/esxcfg-nics -l

igbn                           0.1.1.0-4vmw.670.2.48.13006603        VMW     VMwareCertified   2019-06-07

Unfortunately this didn't solve the problem.

However ... this behaviour doesn't occur, when I'm using one of the nics using the ne1000 driver.

Any idea how to solve the issue?

(... or at least dig down to it's root?)

Thanks a lot in advance.

Chris

PS: I found another thread which might be connected to my problem: Stopping I/O on vmnic0  Same system behaviour, same driver.

Hello,

We have ESXi 6.5 update 3 running on Cisco B200 blades using 6248 Fabric interconnects.

We have purchased new 6454 fabric interconnects and I have moved 1 chassis and 1 blade to the new FIs for testing.

The blade/ESXi host is connecting and pinging on the network good.

However, if I try to rescan storage it takes 30 minutes and fails. If I try to reboot it takes over an hour and doesn't really attach all storage successfully.

If I unmap all storage it reboots and rescans as normal. It sees the array just fine.

The zoning is connected at 8 Gbps and the FIs say connected at 8 Gbps.

However, VMware says the speed is 0 Gbps. see below output.

I have checked compatibility lists and it seems our fnic, enic, vmware version and ucs version is all compatible.

Has anyone seen this?

Any help is much appreciated!

Hi:

I've not had much experience with "passthrough", but recently I needed to emergency P2V a physical server that had a SAS tape drive connection. I installed the LSI model SAS9212-4i4 SAS adapter in our R730 host server, and "passed through" the PCI device to my rehomed VM. All surprisedly works.

Now a question has been asked, can the same PCI device be passed through to another VM?  What I read, particularly regard GPU passthroughs, seems to suggest yes, the passthrough of a device can be configured on multiple VM's.

Am I going down the wrong road here?

I have a Dual-Port ConnectX-3 Pro EN 40/56 GbE QSFP+ NIC (MCX314A-BCCT)

I have been struggling for days now to get this card working.

To explain the topology, I have two other Hosts, with an Infiniband Switch between them.

Both of the other Hosts are plugged into the InfiniBand Switch via Passive QSFP Copper Cables.

The other two Hosts and the Mellanox Cards in them are working fine.

Example:

I am now trying to add a third host, with this NIC in it.

The NIC is VMware-certified, and I am using the VMware-provided Driver specifically made for it.

(VMware Compatibility Guide - I/O Device Search)

But the NIC Ports will not connect and link when plugged in to the Switch.

I tried replacing the Card. I tried replacing the Cables with known, tested cables.

I have tried changing the port_type_array to Ethernet, and to Infiniband.

When the card's two ports are directly plugged into one another (while the NIC in Ethernet Mode), Link is active.

But the card has to be in InfiniBand mode because it is an InfiniBand Switch on the other end, and the other two Hosts are running in InfiniBand mode.

I notice that the new NIC is using a different Driver:

The existing, working NICs are using the "ib_ipoib" driver, and the new Host's NIC is using the "mlx4_en" driver.

I don't know of any esxcli or esxcfg command to specify or change the Driver that's being used for the card, and switch it to ib_ipoib.

I've tried installing older drivers, going all the way back to the ESXi 5.0 Drivers, but nothing I did -- for days -- got those ports to energize.

The InfiniBand card's ports remain in "Down" state.

I am at my wits end at this point, and so I am reaching out to the community here.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this card working?

I have a home lab server that i use for a mix of different things.

Tonight i as looking over it to see if it would upgrade to 6.7.0 and noticed a datastore had vanished.

It's nothing critical, just a disk i use for iso storage, some on host backups, and a scratch drive that i don't want constantly reading and writing to the SSD datastore which works fine.

They are just SATA drives on the mainboard SATA controller, and the other disks work fine just this one isn't.

Built an Oracle 7.4 server base configuration, successfully exported it and used the files to import and setup two unique VMs. Attempted it again but for a few VMs with less disk space - got the base Oracle 7.4 setup, exported, but upon importing I always get the error "A required disk image was missing." I can click Finish but when attempting to stat the VM I get the same error. I tried importing the initial larger server VMDK file and am getting the same error so it seems to be something on the console side, not the files... Any ideas? I've googled around and not gotten anywhere.
