Hi:
I'm a newbie to 6.7. I have a host server running ESXi 6.7.0 build-16075168. I tried to connect to host using vSphere Client (I guess C#) vers. 6.0.0 Build 51112508. It won't connect. Is there a newer version of vSphere Client? Or, is the only GUI way to connect via browser to IP address? I guess this by default would use the HTML5 vSphere Client vs. "vShpere Web Client?"
Thank you!

Thank you,
Having trouble installing VMware Tools on a Win10 Enterprise VM (vSphere 5.5). Install initiates then never reports anything beyond that. Is there something special that needs to be done to make this work?
-Thanks
Also have installed the Update Manager plugin which is reporting compliance state incompatible.

Hi,
The ESXi 5.5 (Build 9919047) running on Dell R710, and I enabled hyperthreading in Bios, however, ESXi show the status is "Disable (Enable on restart) (Not Active)", remark show "host BIOS must enable hyperthreading before the host can activate the feature., I just confuse that anything i missing?

I tried following this guide but
How to Fix macOS Mojave iMessage, iCloud, App Store on VMware
I get stuck on this step
Step #2. Now find board-id.reflectHost = “True”. Once you’ve found this text, Change “TRUE” to “FALSE” and then add a blank line beneath it. Add your system definitions at that blank line.
This entry does not exist in my file.
Is there such a guide for ESXi?
Hello,
On ESXi 6.7u3b, supermicro hardware platform, i'm receiving lots of errors from sensord. What could it be? I don't see any network traffic attempts to IPMI hardware, all sensors on hardware tab are green, i'm getting this error every 5 seconds:
sensord[2099295]: recv_reply: bmc timeout after 20000 millisconds
sensord[2099295]: ipmi_completion: no reply, failed to communicate with bmc
and this message each 30 seconds:
Hostd: info hostd[2099828] [Originator@6876 sub=Default] IPMI SEL sync took 0 seconds 0 sel records, last 3
What could be reason for this? Should I disable IPMI on ESXi? (VMkernel.Boot.ipmiEnabled = false)
Hey we've got a host that is still trying to connect to NFS shares for a device that has been long since removed from the environment. It isn't really a problem, but it causes the host to take a long time to boot. Anyone know how I can prevent the host from doing this? Everything I've found online seems to refer to using commands like "esxcli storage nfs list" and "esxcfg-nas -l" to first identify the NFS shares you want to remove. Because the connection was never successful though, it comes up empty. host still tries to connect on restart though.
Here is where the host is hanging on boot for a long time. I was able to identify this console output by using the ALT+F12 trick.
168: NFS mount <IP Address>:/vol/nfsshare failed: Unable to connect to NFS server
3341: Synchronous RPC abort for client 0xblahblah IP <NFS IP Address>

Could you help us about this issue?
Hello all,
I've been trying to find a way to syncronize ESXI 6.7 time using NTP from a virtual machine which has a domain controller and NTP active on it but i didnt get any luck.
The idea is that a sincronization time loop is being created between server bios, ESXI,vSphere 6.7 and virtual machines from it.
Bios time always gives the time to ESXI and if i use NTP for the ESXi host i get very strange times...sometimes going ahead sometimes going backwards.
Clearly that some kind of time conflict or time sincronization loop is being created.
Same time it seems thar for ESXI 6.7 the timezone cannot be changed like previous versions.
i'm kind of stuck here , i wrote you guys maybe somebody knows what can be done.
So to recap ,i want to sincronize ESXI 6.7 host time using an NTP coming from a windows domain controller virtual machine which gives domain and time to the other virtual machines.
Hope you understood what i'm trying to achive here.
I've been trying to install an ESXI 7.0b with an LSI 9361-8i controller. Installed storcli and lsiprovider on the ESXI box, and installed LSI Storage Authority on my Win10 workstation to manage the RAID with. All of the firmware and software versions are latest versions freshly downloaded.
Everything seemed like it was fine, could see the controller and connected drives in LSA so I proceeded to create a drive group and virtual drive. LSA still showed 2 unconfigured drives, 0 drive groups and 0 virtual drives so I figured something went wrong and so I tried again... the second time it gave me an error when it tried to create.
Went in and looked at the logs and in there I see...
Controller ID: 0 VD is available. VD: 0
Controller ID: 0 Created VD: 0
Controller ID: 0 VD is now OPTIMAL VD 0
Controller ID: 0 PD - Port 4 - 7 x1:1:5 (EnclosureId: 252; DeviceId: 12) : State change - Previous: UnConfigured Good; Current: Online
Controller ID: 0 PD - Port 4 - 7 x1:1:4 (EnclosureId: 252; DeviceId: 11) : State change - Previous: UnConfigured Good; Current: Online
Went back into ESXI and sure enough it sees a new drive and I was able to create a datastore. Then I went in via ssh and checked with storcli, it also sees the drive group and virtual drive. But back into LSA and it still shows 2 unconfigured, 0 drive groups and 0 virtual drives.
So long story short it did create the drive group and virtual drive as it should have... but somehow it doesn't seem to be updating itself to reflect that fact. Even logging out of LSA, closing the browser and reopening LSA again still doesn't show the current configuration.
Is there something I've missed in the configuration... a refresh button someplace I should be clicking?
Any input appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello guys,
For some time now I've been having problems with unexpected rebooting on my esxi.

Same for the "vmksummary.log". :

What else can I look at to understand and solve this?
The host is a Dell R710, latest bios / firmware updated.
Current esxi version: 6.7.0 Update 3 (Build 16316930) --> (same reboot problem with previous versions)
I have few VMs on this esxi, it happens when there are only 2 VMs started.
An idea ?
Thanks !
Best regards,
Bob

I get this error whenever I try to download anything from the Client ESXI server data store. When I try to download from the web ESXi client I get page not found.
Hi,
I tryed to stuck together something useful for my means. Ryzen 5 3400G, 32GB RAM, 3 old Drives, and 2 NVMe drives.
While everything works fine, but I am unable to get the 2nd 1TB NVMe drive (XPG GAMMIX S11 Pro) to be recognized by ESXi
While booting into a live usb I am able see and use the drive.
I do not see the drive listed in ESXi.
Can some point me into the right direction?
7.0.0 build 15843807
For security reasons, my customer wants to use the 'su -' command.
However, when I type 'su -', 'sudo' in ESXi, ESXi not found 'su -', 'sudo' commands.
I found some posting that the 'su -' command in the 3.x and 4.x versions of esxi, but did the command disappear from the 5.x or later version?
Additional, my customer wants to change the 3 files permission.
(/etc/shadow/ , /etc/cron.d/cron.allow , /etc/cron.d/cron.deny)
Changing permissions is very easy, but doesn't this affect to ESXi?
Regards
I have a Dell R720xd
Host has 256 GB RAM and 16 1.2 TB drives setup as raid 10 array, currently not in production. Booting from mirror SD cards, logs relocated to main attached storage.
VMWare ESXi 6.5 using dell image 6.5 U3 (VSPhere Essential license)
Had one drive fail, swapped it out and array is sill acring like its initializing with all drives are flashing (green) , been that way for few days
VCenter reports Critical Storage Alert seeing multiple warning System Board 1 Drive 0 0 Warning Reading : 17
repeats for Drive 0 0 to Drive 0 14
Should I be worried or is this normal? Shutdown and raid controller does not indicate any problems with drives
Not sure whats up. Hoping to use this machine for another 10 months before i have no choice but to replace it to move to newer version.
see screen shot below Machine hast 24 drive bays, 16 populated..
