How to tell what was the latest patch installed on VMware ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0, 207095
Hello Guys,
I have been running an old server that was installed as a test system on a DELL workstation - Optiplex GX620 (32 bit).
During the installation I had to confirgure the file: /usr/lib/vmware/installer/Core/TargetFilter.py to change the following line:
"return interface.GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_IDE" to read:
"return interface.GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_ISCSI" this made it worked and I have been using it for 3 years now. However, at this time I was hoping to update it with the latest patches and updates and I cannot figure out if I have ESXi or just ESX, nor what was my last update and what is required next.
I have used this command to get the following output:
# vmware -v
VMware ESX Server 3i 3.5.0 build-207095
... I believe the 3i indicates that I have an ESXi 3.5.0 but is build-207095 the same buid as ESXi 3.5.0 Update 5?
If not, how do I go about updating it? What is the KB # I should download?
I can manage it using vSphere Client 5.5 and I can SSH into it using Putty.
Note: When I run... "# esxupdate --bundle=ESXe350-201302401-I-SG.zip update" from within the folder where its at in the datastore, nothing happens... just a new line is scrolled.
Also...

... is there any further update for this system? I believe so as the Heartbleed patch etc. was not around when I was installing this server back in 2010.Hello Richardson Porto,
I wanted to tell you that I appreciate the help so far.
Also wanted to point out to you, that the KB indicated above is older than Update 5, which from your instructions is what I have installed. That KB is for U2.
Now, the document definitely has step by step instructions on installing, querying etc. But my problem is ... NOT ALL COMMANDS WORK FOR ME!
This is why I am here because all the instructions I have been reading does not work with my flavor of ESX 3.5.0, 207095... WHY? It has me stumped.
For example, here are some commands the doc asked me to do and they failed: (Note that I had to unzip the folder on my windows box and upload it to /tmp using vSphere Client)
/tmp # ls
ESX350-201302402-BG ESX350-201302402-BG.zip vmhsdaemon-0
/tmp # unzip ESX350-201302402-BG.zip

NOTE: All these commands were run sequentially and I just copied and paste it from my SSH Client (PuTTy.exe)
Is there a toolkit I need to install to have these commands or what really am I missing here? Host is in Maintenance Mode and the 1 VM that's on it is off!
I am going to start a new discussion with this NEW ISSUE, since the Heading of this DISCUSSION has already been SOLVED! Thanks again! -

How to install prime NCS 1.1 for Vmware ESXİ Hypervisor 5.0
Dear,
Im trying to install prime NCS 1.1 for Vmware ESXİ Hypervisor 5.0 (that is free copy)
I deployed correctly OVA image which i downloaded cisco.com however power on server and then screen is black and work nothing.
and open console wasnt working.
Physical server installed ESXi is HP Blade server.
I enabled processor virtualization Blade server's BIOS.
NCS 1.1 OVA image is Linux based so i cant install Vmware Tools.during the console wasnt working how i install Vmware Tools and run the server and also NCS 1.1 ??
Regards.
EmreOnce installed and started successfully (e.g. admin has issued "ncs start" from the console and all services are running, can be verified by issuning "ncs status" also from console command line), the NCS server should be listening on port 443 and thus requires you to access it via https.
See step 2 here. -
Solaris Cluster 3.3 on VMware ESX 4.1
Hi there,
I am trying to setup Solaris Cluster 3.3 on Vmware ESX 4.1
My first question is: Is there anyone out there setted up Solaris Cluster on vmware accross boxes?
My tools:
Solaris 10 U9 x64
Solaris Cluster 3.3
Vmware ESX 4.1
HP DL 380 G7
HP P2000 Fibre Channel Storage
When I try to setup cluster, just next next next, it completes successfully. It reboots the second node first and then the itself.
After second node comes up on login screen, ping stops after 5 sec. Same either nodes!
I am trying to understand why it does that? I did every possibility to complete this job. Setted up quorum as RDM from VMware. Solaris has direct access to quorum disk now.
I am new to Solaris and I am having the errors below. If someone would like to help me it will be much appreciated!
Please explain me in more details i am new bee in solaris :) Thanks!
I need help especially on error: /proc fails to mount periodically during reboots.
Here is the error messages. Is there any one out there setted up Solaris Cluster on ESX 4.1 ?

Hi, thanks for reply,
I have already followed the steps also on your links but no joy on this.
What i noticed here is cluster seems to be buggy. Because i have tried to install cluster 3.3 on physical hardware and it gave me excat same error messages! interesting isnt it?
Please see errors below that I got from on top of VMware and also on Solaris Physical hardware installation:
ERROR1:
Comment: I have installed different memories all the time. It keeps sayying that silly error.
problem_statement : *Node has insufficient physical memory.
<analysis>5120 MB of memory is installed on this node.The current release of Solaris Cluster requires a minimum of 1024 MB of physical memory in each node. Additional memory required for various Data Services.</analysis>
<recommendations>Add enough memory to this node to bring its physical memory up to the minimum required level.
ERROR2
Comment: Despite rmt directory is there I gor error below on cluster check
<problem_statement>The /dev/rmt directory is missing.
<analysis>The /dev/rmt directory is missing on this Solaris Cluster node. The current implementation of scdidadm(1M) relies on the existence of /dev/rmt to successfully execute 'scdidadm -r'. The /dev/rmt directory is created by Solaris regardless of the existence of the actual nderlying devices. The expectation is that the user will never delete this directory. During a reconfiguration reboot to add new disk devices, if /dev/rmt is missing scdidadm will not create the new devices and will exit with the following error: 'ERR in discover_paths : Cannot walk /dev/rmt' The absence of /dev/rmt might prevent a failover to this node and result in a cluster outage. See BugIDs 4368956 and 4783135 for more details.</analysis>
ERROR3
Comment: All Nics have different MAC address though, also I have done what it suggests me. No joy here as well!
<problem_statement>Cluster node (3.1 or later) OpenBoot Prom (OBP) has local-mac-address? variable set to 'false'.
<analysis>The local-mac-address? variable must be set to 'true.' Proper operation of the public networks depends on each interface having a different MAC address.</analysis>
<recommendations>Change the local-mac-address? variable to true: 1) From the OBP (ok> prompt): ok> setenv local-mac-address? true ok> reset 2) Or as root: # /usr/sbin/eeprom local-mac-address?=true # init 0 ok> reset</recommendations>

Comment: No comment on this, i have done what it says no joy...
<problem_statement>/proc fails to mount periodically during reboots.
<analysis>Something is trying to access /proc before it is normally mounted during the boot process. This can cause /proc not to mount. If /proc isn't mounted, some Solaris Cluster daemons might fail on startup, which can cause the node to panic. The following lines were found:</analysis>

Has anyone installed an OES2 cluster on VmWare ESX successfully.

We have set up two ESX hosts (ESX 3.5 U4) and have two SLES10 64 clustered VMs with OES2 installed. We have two RDMs set up with a split brain partition (quorum drive). We have no problems setting all of this up and when it works it works well. What we have problems with is when we do maintainence on the ESX hosts.
We get the dreaded "Unable to power up machine due to afile lock" on the second clustered VM when we power it up after doing maintaince on the ESX host. The first clustered VM is powered up and ok but we are unable to clear the lock as ESX does not see it. VMware does not support this and Novell seems to point us to VMware. The only way we have cleared this up is by shutting down the ESX host for about 10 minutes and then powering it back up. This clears the lock sometimes. The most extreme case was we had to power down the SAN to release the lock.
There seems to be nothing specific on the web about our proble, only similar cases. Any help or advice would be appreciated. -
SAP ECC6.0 IDES Installation on VMware ESX
SAP Experts...
I am having problem installing SAP ECC6.0 IDES (with oracle) to VMware ESX server due to limitation of vmware create space up to 250GB max. SAP required at least 288GB for database space.
what I want to do is install IDES as local machine with ABAP + Java.
Does anyone have experience with install IDES as local machine on VMware? any clue, solution or sapnote is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Irianto.> I am having problem installing SAP ECC6.0 IDES (with oracle) to VMware ESX server due to limitation of vmware create space up to 250GB max. SAP required at least 288GB for database space.
VMWare ESX can use LUNs up to 2 TB. You could also create two disks and configure a RAID-5 on Windows.
Oracle is not supported under VMWare.

If install CSM in VMware which windows2003 version(32/64bit) supported?
CISCO will release CSM version 3.2.1 to support VMware ESX Server 3.5 in July 2008.For the SW requirement, which windows 2003 version (32 or 64bit)support by CSM3.2.1? Thanks
First, it would be a good idea for you to specify what distro of Linux you're using, as not all are supported by Adobe.
Second, this is probably your problem right here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/40416/why-is-lib-libc-so-6-missing
In a nutshell, CF expects the 32-bit version of libc.so.6 to be in /lib, but it's probably not. You might be able to modify the installer to point to the correct location for that file, or you might be able to create a symlink to the file - but as the above link describes, creating a symlink might have negative consequences.
As for installing CF 8 64-bit, that's only available with Enterprise, not Standard. If you want CF Standard 64-bit, you need to upgrade to CF 9.

System monitoring plugin for Vmware ESX server..
i have a OEM grid control 10.2.0.5 with management plugin for Vmware ESX server (Management Plug-in: vmware_esx_server, Version 1.1.3.1.0) added.
I later added another server agent for management/monitoring of VMware ESX server.
the agent state is UP and under Monitored targets for the agent I am now trying to add the VMware ESX server
Once on the page, here I enter the details <Hostname / Usrname:Pwd / Protocol:HTTPS / Keystore> and click on Test Connection and recieve a Warning :
Failed to contact the target to be added. Following errors were received while testing the connection to the target. Update the properties accordingly, try Test Connection for testing the properties before saving.
TestVersion - caught com.vmware.vim.InvalidLogin: ; nested exception is: javax.net.ssl.SSLException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unexpected error: java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: the trustAnchors parameter must be non-empty Aug 26, 2009 9:28:04 AM org.apache.axis.utils.JavaUtils isAttachmentSupported WARNING: Unable to find required classes (javax.activation.DataHandler and javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart). Attachment support is disabled.
If I go ahead and click OK it adds the Target(Vmware esx server) to the agent and displays message :
"Target ESXVS (VMware ESX Server) has been added."
THE problem starts here.. the metrics collection doesnt happen for the target and I get Metric collection errors.
I have tried checking in diff versions of management plugins as well as tried adding the target to the Grid control's agent//
Pls help..Is the location that you specified for the keystore file somewhere that the agent can read from (either a drive local to where the agent is installed or a network drive that the agent has access to)? Is the keystore file one that was generated for that specific ESX Server from its rui.crt file? Each ESX Server has a different rui.crt file that you use to create the keystore file.
You won't be able to collect metrics if the SSL connectivity isn't set up correctly.

Dear All,
I would like to know if the VMware ESX 3.5 version is officially supported to run a BPC 5.1 server (for development/test environment).
I read SAP note 1098847 about virtualization support, but I did not find any specific documentation about this topic.
Thanks a lot and best regards,
DarioHi Dario,
I have successfully installed BPC in a VMware ESXi environment. We actually run BPC on a few VMs without problems. I have written a How-To guide that is on SDN, about some guideline for running BPC under VMware ESX. Most of the information is general ESX stuff, but with the needs of BPC in mind.
One item that you need to pay attention to is the compilation warning. There's sometimes a problem with something in VMware that does not get along with XML 6. I included a link to the Microsoft KB article that fixes it. The symptom, beside the few messages in the event log, was that SQL in general was excruciatingly slow.(to a point where I could not even configure Reporting Services). After implementing the fix, all was well and was actually very fast. So while this is not related to BPC at all (it happenned before i installed BPC), it is something to keep in mind. I believe this happens only on some new installations. In other words, if it does not happen right after installing SQL, then I don't think it will happen later.
Best regards,

Does the TS100 serie is compatible with Vmware ESX ?
I`m looking for a basic server to install ESX.
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hello, TS100 is server which almost impossible to buy as new as Lenovo already transitioned to TS200.
Anyway - to aswer your question - I have couple of friends running ESX 3.5 (not 4.0 yet) without problems on TS100. The datasheets from Lenovo do not contact info jus because it cost a lot of money to get certification and for such lowend product the decision was not to do it. But you should not have a problem to run it.

Can't install arch in vmware fusion , /dev/tty7 error
I have the latest vmware fusion ,I downloaded the i686 core iso image.
I use vmware fusion (the latest) i select the default options , when I get to setup if i select "auto prepare harddrive" it fails and tells me to see /dev/tty7 which I can't .
So i manually partition, and then when I select files to install I get the error "cannot start pacman see /dev/tty7"
So i thought maybe the disc image was bad, Ive downloaded the iso from different sites/sources with the same problem. It would seem vmware should be the easiest to install to.
I read the wiki but I don't understand, I have no other issues installing other linux distros in vmware fusion.
Last edited by itsmeh (2009-05-07 01:59:57)Ok got past the auto partition error issue, instead of selecting the first option to install arch from the live disc, select the 2nd option for IDE with no sata drivers in vmware fusion. I think it takes care of both problems

VMWARE ESX 3.5 and Netware 6.5
I want to Install a Netware 6.5 server in VMWARE ESX 3.5 in a
IBM x3650 with 2 CPU quad core.
But the guest SO wizard don't allow me to install more than
1 CPU.
Why is that?Generally, Netware doesn't benefit from a second CPU. Of course
there are occasions where adding another CPU improves performance,
but Netware is IO bound, not CPU bound.
Under VMware, Netware will definitely perform better with a single CPU.
Netware does not idle the CPU, so when running under VMware, the
VMware tools idle the first CPU. If there are 2 CPUs, the second CPU
will always run at 100 percent utilization.

Has anyone managed to get VMWare ESX SNMP traps recorded into Zen for
Servers 6.5?
I have complied all the MIBs supplied from the ESX Server install
successfully and the alarms now appear in the Alarm Disposition, but I am
still receiving unknown alarms from the ESX server. The OID
is .1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.50.0.201.
According to what the VMWare site says, this refers to a state change to
one of the VM instances on the ESX Server. E.g. A VM instance and changed
from SUSPENDED to ON.
I did manage to download an updated VMWARE-TRAPS-MIB MIB that included
the 201 trap and the associated OBJECT TYPES, but so far it has not
appeared as an alarm in the Alarm disposition.
Is anybody using ZfS to monitor ESX, if so how?
I can email/post the updated VMWARE-TRAPS-MIB if that would be any help.After further investigation, it seems that this is not ESX alerts, it is
rfom Virtual Centre. I have copied the MIB from the VC box and have
compiled them - initial analysis looks good!

How well does OAS on RHES on VMWare ESX work?
We're currently running OAS 9.0.4 on RHES 3, but are considering using VMWare ESX. Possibly upgrading to OAS 10gR3 and RHES 4.
Are there any particular problems or issues running OAS on VMWare? I'm aware of Oracle's stated support position about VMWare, i.e., any new problem must be reproducible on a standalone machine.
I'm basically wondering if this setup will work well or not, before we commit to this direction.
Thanks in advance for any input.Have you had any responses? We are looking at doing this for our production environment as well. Also, I am not sure if you were aware that Oracle on June 29th has changed their position on VMWare. Instead of requiring users to show that a problem is reproduible on a standalone machine, Oracle will do this and if they cannot then Oracle will forward the problem onto VMWare tech support for resolution.
Thanks.
