I am building a new Windows 10 1803 template and using the same guest customization that I have used with previous builds of Windows 10. The vm is cloned from the template and applies sysprep successfully but the machine never reboots/renames or gets added to the domain.

I have rebuilt the Guest Customization settings from scratch and still get the same result.

Any ideas?

Hi,

WARNING: Enabling WC without BBU will cause data corruption when system is shutoff incorrectly.

I have found quite a few posting regarding performance issues with ESXi and LSI IR. Probably due to the write caching being disabled by default on these controllers.

You can change this with LSIUtil (http://www.lsi.com/DistributionSystem/AssetDocument/support/downloads/hbas/fibre_channel/hardware_drivers/LSIUtil%20Kit_1.60.zip), but by default this does not work on ESXi because it's slightly different:

sh: /bin/mknod: not found

I made the following change to the source of LSIUtil and then it works on my ESXi 4.0:

I was doing a slow SCP while enabling WC and you can see my improvement in the attached screenshot.

Let me know if it works for you.

Hello Helpful People in this community,

I'm running ESXi 5.5 and using VMware vSphere Client (see screenshot below), FREE Version (in German).

I can't log in anymore as root - although I'm quite sure I'm using the correct password (but then again ...

A 'connection error' window pops up, stating that the Login cannot be done due to a wrong user name or password.

I read that reinstalling is necessary in order to reset the password, but WHAT to reinstall? The VSphere Client or ESXi?

I guess it must be ESXi (presumably the password is stored there somewhere) - but if I reinstall, surely my virtual machines will get destroyed, correct?

Is there anyone among you who knows an elegant solution? Please ...I really mustn't lose my VMs ...

THANK YOU

Philipp

And what version is that?

And how do I find it?

Cheers

Hello everyone,

I'm just tinkering with ESXi in my homelab and noticed the following issue:

• the vNIC in the Voice portgroup can't pass traffic to the switch
• in the ESXi Web Console it looks like vSwitch is recognizing the wrong MAC address for the second NIC attached to VLAN 10.

The switches (Cisco 2960G) are configured for VLAN trunking and in general VLANs work pretty well in my lab setting. The only issue ist the ESXi: the vNIC attached to the portgroup "Voice" with VLAN 10 does not seem to be able to pass traffic through the physical NIC to the switch (as mentioned above).

On the left side there's the output of the linux "ip addr sh" command. On the right side there's the vSwitch overwiew. Please note the MAC addresses are different in the linux VM but are the same in the vSwitch overview. Is this a possible bug or just a feature...?

I'm grateful for any hints to point me in the right direction...

Cheers,

Joerg

Hej,

I want to download the latest ESXi 6.7u1 patches ESXi670-201811001 and ESXi670-201901001 manually. However, for release 6.7, the list is empty in the patch portal. Is this only the case for me? Is anyone seeing the patches there? When I select ESXi 6.5 patches are showing up.

Where can I download the zip files manually?

Regards

Im trying to install some HP drivers to my USB stick which has Esxi on it. Im trying to run Esxi on a HP Proliant DL360 G5 from an USB but the server wont see my HDD that I put in. Someone told me to install these HP drivers to help the server and OS to see the HDD. But I do not know how to this, i've looked around but it hasn't helped me much, can anyone help?

Hello

We are getting this error for only one guest i a 4 node HA cluster: This virtual machine failed to become vSphere HA Protected and HA may not attempt to restart it after a failure. The 4 host have enough resources left.

Whay?

Hi all,

I am making a few CPU benchmarks on an host equipped with a single 6c processor.

- CPU set with 1 core on 6 sockets : 5400 pts.

- CPU set with 6 cores on 1 sockets : 11800 pts.

Both setting were set to allow this VM to use an unlimited amount of CPU resources and with an high priority.

But what monitoring showed me, is that the multi-socket settings allow only a CPU usage of about 60% on the host while the multi-core use 100% of the host's CPU.

That explain the large result difference but why is that behavior ?

Thank you.

Good day everyone. My server crashed and I've got PSOD with following dump log:

I've googled a lot but not found anything describing specifically my case. Please, help me understand where the problem is. Thanks in any advance.

I will update the datastores to vmfs 6. What I wonder about is this. when I delete a file from the virtual machine, will I get space from the storage space. For example, if you delete 500 gb files from within 1 tb windows server. 500 gb area from storage unit. will storage reclamation now an automatic or is this only when the vmdk is deleted ? Is the storage brand model important for automatic reclamation ?

I have 6.5 u2 vcenter and esxi server and also 2 EMC vnx with EMC vplex .

thanks

This is going to be a long one. We have a ticket open with Vmware, hardware vendors, and Microsoft on this one. Going in circles

We have 2 VMs running on the same host.  Over the past 2 weeks, these VMs have dropped off the network about 5 times. To fix it, you have to disable and re-enable the NIC

• While the VM is down, you can't ping anything. Not the gateway, not another VM on the same host on the same virtual switch, not another VM in the environment.
• Vmotion to another host doesn't fix it
• The VM is not under heavy load when this happens.
• Ipconfig /all look normal.
• Disconnecting and re-connecting the NIC at the VM hardware level doesn't fix it
• There are entries in the Windows event logs that are a symptom of the VM being disconnected from the network (Can't resolve host names, authentication errors, etc) but, there is no event showing that the NIC disconnected.

This is on a Vblock. VCE has looked at everything hardware-wise and see nothing. No indication that there was even an outage.

Vmware has looked at everything and see nothing on the ESXi side. Vmware tools is up to date.

Microsoft is looking at it and still can't find anything.

Any thoughts? Any ideas on what else I can test for?

Hi all,

Is it possible to configure a single esxi host networking with link aggregation without vDS?

i created new user into my ESXi 6.5 host.

roles and permission assigned, but i still cannot login.

error message is Cannot complete due to incorrect user name or password.

have already followed the recommended steps to create new users and assigned roles through the web gui

Installation of component VCSServiceManager failed with error code '1603'. Check the logs for more details

I tried to turn on all dot net

does root user account gets locked out after certain wrong password attempts?

i noticed that i cannot login again after a few wrong password login.

need to reboot the ESXi host in order to login again.

my ESX version is 6.5.0.

error message is "Cannot complete lofin due to an incorrect user name or password.

how doi prevent root user from getting locked out?

Is there any way to upgrade from ESXi 5.5 to 6.0 without reboot or stopping running VM(s) ? Thanks

Pictures:

Before all three hosts ran without a problem. Until the hard drive from the vcenter was full and i uncovered memory space again.

After the restart, this error occurs.

The VCenter Hosts, look like:

(All VMs from esxi, are online, but i cant manage them becouse of the license problem)

My Licences Look like: (Licence and Domain are censored)

I cant fix that error ... anybody can help me please?

Regards

Hi Folks,

Am planning to migrate Windows vcenter 6.5 to VCSA 6.7 U1, Currently am using veeam backup to take full backup(Host level, VM level, Object level).

After migrate this to new VCSA appliance is there any changes we need to make for backup configuration from vcenter side or veeam side? Please advise?

Hello guys, can you help me. I accidentally set disable to my physical Gigabyte ethernet adapter in "manage", and after reboot my ESXi 6.7 shows me: "No compatible network adapter found", and i lost web-client connection

How could i enable adapter via CLI

esxcfg-nic -l shows nothing

esxcfg-info shows physical adapter

in the /etc/vmware/esx.conf i see all my network settings
