Hi there,

 

I am running the esxi version 5.5, and i can't pass through any GPU.

i tired the following GPU's

  • Nivida gt 660,
  • nividia 1060 6 G.B
  • Nividia 9400
  • Nividia Quadro 3800

But no luck it always stuck after "vmkapi socket" successfully loaded.

 

Specification for my machine

Processor = Intel i5-3470

Motherboard = Gigabyte P75-D3

Ram = 8 G.B

Bios

VT-D = on

Intel virtualization = on

Dear all

Hi

 

is there any relation between mount cd/dvd to vm and vmotion that ?

can i vmotion vm while cd/dvd is connected to vm or if this esxi host failed will that restart to the other host while cd/dvd has been connected ?

Fresh install of Ubuntu 64-bit 16.04.3 on Windows 10 1709 Hangs on Login

$

I downloaded and installed a clean Ubuntu 16.04 image. The install goes OK but after login VMware hangs (not the OS). i.e. the machine cannot even be 'powered off' and the only way to reset the machine is to reboot the host OS.

 

I suspect this is connected to the latest set of patches from MS to deal with the meltdown/spectre vulnerabilities.

 

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue and are there workarounds?

 

 

I am dead in the water because none of my Linux VMs work anymore.

Re: Retrieve ESXi events through Get-View

$

Instead of writing your own script, you could reuse my Get-VIEventPlus function.

It contains the logic to filter events based on EventTypeId.

See my HA VM Failover Tracking post for further info on how to find/list all types of events.

 

Each vCenter has its own ServiceInstance and Managers, including the EventManager.

You would have to include logic to make the call for events to each vCenter in sequence, a simple ForEach loop over all the entries $global:defaultviservers.

if CD/DVD drive is mounted with an ISO which is located on local datastore of ESXi host, that VM cannot be vMotioned.

but that VM will still will be started in case host fails if vSphere HA is enabled and there are enough resources to fulfil requirement of the VM.

vss to vds migration

$

0

hello

 

i have a cluster of two hosts with vSS configuration and i would like to migrate the vSS to vDS.

lets say that i have one port group on the ESXi01 that is connected to vmnic0 , and the same portgroup on ESXi02 that is connected to vmnic1 and they are configured with vLANs.

after creating the vDS and creating the port, should i link the port group to uplink1 and uplink2 in the vDS?

so the virtual machines on ESXi01 would have connectivity to vmnic0 and vmnic1 but will only use vmnic0 as vmnic1 of ESXi01 supports other vlan ?

and the virtual machines on ESXi02 would have connectivity to vmnic0 and vmnic1 but will only use vmnic1 as vmnic0 of ESXi02 supports other vlan ?

 

is that correct ? any suggestions ?

thank you experts

Failed to power on virtual machine . The attempted operation cannot be performed in the current state (Power off)

Hi All,

 

we created Windows Server 2016 VM on ESXi 6.5 U1. We can power on the VM and operate it. But when we shutdown the VM. We cannot power on it anymore. The message is "Failed to power on virtual machine <VM name>. The attempted operation cannot be performed in the current state (Power off)."

Do you have any idea?  I found there is no new log added into VM log (i.e. vmware.log) . Is there any log I can check? How can I do to troubleshooting the issue?

 

Regard,

Osito

Is that your means if iso image that is on local disk and esxi host that iso image has been mounted to that vm has been failed vm will be restart on the other host without mount cd ?

Re: IOPS consideration

Read IOPS will also be depending on the network speed of course. If the VM is running on one of the 2 hosts that does not have the the VMDK object then it will get all that data over the network unless its in the local read cache. The more hosts you have in the cluster the higher probability that the VM is not running on one of those 2 hosts.

 

10GbE switches are cheap now, you can get a decent one for 3000USD. Its a no-brainer, get yourself some decent switches.

Re: vss to vds migration

You would create a new vDS and assign it an uplink on both hosts that is unused, or pull one uplink from your vSS to dedicate to the vDS. Create a port group and give it the VLAN ID you need. Move VMs to the newly-created vDS port group. Once moved, your vSS is freed up and you can move its uplink over to the vDS to create a team of two vmnics.

Check the event log on the ESXi host. What does it say? What did you do to this VM between creation and when it would no longer power on?

Please attach/post "vmware.log" from guest directory on host.

Get storage reservation policy name assigned to a Datastore in the Compute Resource via vco

$

I'm using vra 7.3 with embedded vco.

 

I'm trying to get the storage reservation policy assigned to a Datastore in the reservation in which i'm trying to deploy vm to be able to deploy the VM in a specific datastore.

It seems I'm not able to find the association between the datastore and the policy via vco.

I have the reservation name i'm using and the storagePath (datastore name) but cannot get the data from the vra page infrastructure/compute resources/configuration

 

Anyone know what query/function I can use to get this information? I've tried a lot of combination but I always end up with the storagePath and not with the Storage Reservation name that I need.

 

 

Thanks
