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.

VCB/VADP, ESX 4.1 and NetWare vm snapshot backup issue

Hi!
If you are running Netware as a guest in VMware ESX 4.1 and are using backup
software that uses the snapshot feature to backup the guests vmdk then you
may run into an issue that causes the snapshot to fail. This was just
documented by VMware on Feb 23 (two days ago) so you may have not seen this
yet. Here is the url to the VMware kb:
http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1029749
The fix is to install the older v4.0 vmware tools into the NetWare guest.
Cheers,
Ron

Running OSD Capture on VMWare ESX 5.5

In SCCM 2012 r2, I create capture media (.iso). I then create a VM in VMWare ESX 5.5 and attempt to capture the OS (server 2012 r2) After rebooting into WinPE the process fails with an error
"Failed to find the configuration path"
Running IPConfig from the command prompt in WinPE produces nothing, so I assume the network drivers are an issue. The VM initially had a VMNet3 nic which I read might have driver issues, so we removed that nic and added the intel 1000E nic (only other
choice I believe) and that failed as well.
We then found the VMNet3 driver in the VMWare Tools ISO, imported those into SCCM, added those to the boot image and created new capture media with that boot image. STILL ipconfig returns nothing and we get the same failure (during hardware initialization
after rebooting into winPE the error pops up.
Here are the logs from the VM
SMSTS - convertBootTologicalPath failed 0x8007003 (partition(2)) - does this 29 times and then fails says giving up and then says Failed to find the configuration path
Setupapi.offline.log - Unable to unload hive key … loaded by another process
Any ideas?

What NIC is the ESXi using? VMNet3 or Intel 1000E?
Is there DHCP in place so that the machine can actually get an address?
Why are you using capture media, why aren't you using standard build & capture method for creating your reference image?
You can obtain the correct drivers from the machine itself, if you just install VMware tools on it and use this tool:
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/ConfigMgr-Driver-Injector-aae7d17d to grab the corrected drivers for your boot image and for creating driver pack for ESXi 5.5

Nexus 1000v, VMWare ESX and Microsoft SC VMM

Hi,
Im curious if anybody has worked up any solutions managing network infrastructure for VMWare ESX hosts/vms with the Nexus 1000v and Microsoft's System Center Virtual Machine Manager.
There currently exists support for the 1000v and ESX and SCVMM using the Cisco 1000v software for MS Hyper-V and SCVMM. There is no suck support for VMWare ESX.
Im curious as to what others with VMWare, Nexus 1000v or equivalent and SCVMM have done to work around this issue.
Trying to get some ideas.
Thanks

Aaron,
The steps you have above are correct, you will need steps 1 - 4 to get it working correctly. Normally people will create a separate VLAN for their NLB interfaces/subnet, to prevent uncessisary flooding of mcast frames within the network.
To answer your questions
1) I've seen multiple customer run this configuration
2) The steps you have are correct
3) You can't enable/disable IGMP snooping on UCS. It's enabled by default and not a configurable option. There's no need to change anything within UCS in regards to MS NLB with the procedure above. FYI - the ability to disable/enable IGMP snooping on UCS is slated for an upcoming release 2.1.
This is the correct method untill the time we have the option of configuring static multicast mac entries on
the Nexus 1000v. If this is a feature you'd like, please open a TAC case and request for bug CSCtb93725 to be linked to your SR.
This will give more "push" to our develpment team to prioritize this request.
Hopefully some other customers can share their experience.

Robert

SAP and VMWare ESX

Hello, I read an articule of VMWare that said that VMWare ESX support SAP. But in the other hand I had read some posts that said that it is not recommended to use VMWare with SAP because they(SAP)won't give us support.
Here, we want to use VMWare ESX with SAP Portal Server and SAP MM. But only for Test and Development.
For Producction they'll have their own server.
Does anyone knows if I could implement this.
and If Any of you implement a similar solution?
Thanks

VMware ESX and dual homing

We are beginning to deploy VMware ESX servers for Windows production environments. How do I set up the VNICs to dual home the VM's to separate Catalyst 6500's.
Thanks, Lisa

Hi Steve,
Specific to VSS by itself, that is available and shipping today, but support for the FWSM with VSS is not yet available (as you have already noted :-). I am currently hearing Q3CY08 as a possible timeframe for supporting VSS and the FWSM, but that is not written in stone. In the mean time, you could still take advantage of VSS to do the multi-chassis EtherChannel, just not with the FWSM included.
Specific to the question on the quad mezz cards, I personally do not have any experience with this specific card, but do know that teaming/bonding software is getting better every day, but we all know that not everything works as advertised, so in that case (and actually, in every case if you think about it), any such design should be fully tested before going into production, to make sure it works as expected/desired.
In your post you mention the 3020 (HP Cisco blade switch). That does indeed throw a bit of a wrench in the works, since as you noted, the NICs will each go to separate physical switches in the enclosure, thus making EtherChannel type solutions on the server impossible. In that case, I normally recommend a simple Active/Standby form of teaming/bonding, as it is robust and deterministic (proprietary forms of Active/Active, in my experience, are neither). If you did decide to go with pass-thru (instead of 3020) to a VSS environment, you could then take advantage of the EtherChannel type teaming, but then you introduce the headache of all of those cables from the pass-thru's, which defeats one of the more common purposes many people go to blades, reduced cabling.
Another solution that would give you the best of both worlds in a blade enclosure (reduced cabling and EtherChannel teaming on the servers), is to look at the new 3120's just coming out. With their stacking ability, multiple switches look and act as a single logical switch (exactly like the 3750E), so when these are deployed in the enclosure and stacked, you can indeed use EtherChannel on the server NICs while still getting cable reduction for the enclosure.
HTH, Matt

Prime LMS 4.1 and VMWARE ESX 5.0

Can Cisco Prime LMS 4.1 be deployed on VMware ESX server 5.0 or not ?

No LMS 4.1 is not supported on ESXi 5.0. LMS 4.1 supports the following Virtualization Systems:
•VMware ESX server 3.0.x
•VMware ESX Server 3.5.x
•VMWare ESX Server 4.0.x
•VMWare ESX Server 4.1
•VMWare ESXi Server 4.0
•VMware ESXi Server 4.1
•Hyper V Virtualization (As an installable in Windows 2008)
For more details check:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/4.1/install/guide/prereq.html#wp1119955
On a side note, though a OVF/OVA file may be an issue, but you can try to install LMS 4.1 on a virtualized Win/Sol guest OS host, where it should work mostly. But for any issues further, Cisco or TAC may refer to this as an unsupported installation, for any t/s or support.
Else, you may upgrade to LMS 4.2 which is supported on ESXi 5.0.

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

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: 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.

Best Practices - VMware ESX 4.0 in a Cisco Environment?

Hello,
I'm presently designing a VMware ESX 4.0 deployment and integrating it with our Cisco environment. I've found the following document:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Data_Center/vmware/VMware.html "VMware Infrastructure 3 in a Cisco Network Environment" and I was just wondering if there was a newer document applicable to ESX 4.x or if these best practices still applied?
I'm particularly interested in proper vlan design for the various port-groups with in ESX and etherchannel configuration between ESX hosts and Cisco switches.
Thanks,
Rob

Well, in that this is a Storage group, I'll answer froma storage noetworking point of view.
ESX hosts are no different to any other host, Just stick with the standard best practice of single initiator zoning and you'll be fine.
As a slight aside, from an array point of view, I've tended to configure all the pWWN's of the whole cluster into one "host" definition, as this makes LUN mapping easier.

Will Crystal Reports XI run on VMware ESX 3.5 in a virtual machine

I am running VMware ESX 3.5 Update 2 Host with a Windows 2003 R2 Standard on a Virtual Machine. I initially P to V the original server that was running Crystal Reports XI to ESX but it then would not open Crystal Reports, you would click on the excutable and nothing would happen. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing changes. I then deployed a new VM from Template and reloaded Crystal Reports and the same thing happens! Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

Vmware esx 4 to hyper-v 2012 e2

Hi,
We need to do a convert from Vmware esx 4.0 which is managed by vsphere 4.1 to hyper 2012 R2 Cluster
I did look at SCVMM but 2012 does not support hyper-v 2012 R2 I believe
SCVMM 2012 sp1 Does not support vmware esx 4.0 (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/gg697603.aspx)
What are the options available here as we just need to do a virtual to virtual migration but google did not help.

Hi,

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.
Emre

Once 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.

OES2 Cluster on VMware ESX

Has anyone installed an OES2 cluster on VmWare ESX successfully.

Originally Posted by rllangford

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.

Unknown VMWare ESX traps

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!
