Host name in vSphere Web Client

October 30, 2014, 2:56 am

Hi there,

 

Need help with a minor irritation we have with our vSphere cluster.

 

We have recently upgraded all of our hardware and installed a new cluster at work.

 

I have added all of our hosts into the cluster under vSphere Web Console but when I added them I added them via their ip address.

I have since created dns entries for each host and have FQDN for them.

 

What I want to know is is there a way of changing in the web console how the hosts are referenced and listed from their ip address to their FQDN.

 

Each host is part of a distributed v switch.

 

Many thanks,

 

Pete

How to remove old entries on datastore in vcentre?

October 30, 2014, 2:58 am

HI,

 

Please go easy on me, I have had no training on vcentre or virtualization and the guy who did has left, so I'm on my own and new to all this.

 

So we had an issue where the SAN became full and stopped me from booting a virtual machine. So I looked on the vcentre and under the storage cluster it said there was a virtual machine template that was taking up 150gig. So I converted it to a Virtual Machine, used the migrate to move it to another cluster and another SAN. I then converted it back to the template. That all seems good. However when I go to the original SAN it still appears there, although it does say space used is 0 of 150gig and on the other data store it appears 150gb of 150gb. So it looks like it has moved fine, but I want to get rid of the entry on the old datastore as it will get confusing in the long run. My previous colleague also moved some virtual servers and looking at it they also have these entries. I did try removing it from the inventory on the old datastore but it removed it on both. I'm obviously missing something. so is it possible to remove the old entry on the old datastore and if so how do I do it?

 

I've had a prod around the internet but I cant see anything relevant. Any help would be great.

 

Thanks

USB Hdd Keeps Disappearing From Host

Good Morning,

 

We have a host running ESXi5 which a USB hard drive attached which is being used to back up one of the Guest OS's.

Under settings we have added the USB Device which is a Western Digital 1TB Hdd.

It works for a few days and then the guest cannot see it.

Going into the VM settings its not there and when clicking on add it isn't listed as an option.

Rebooting the entire host resolves the problem but this is of course impractical and annoying.

Has anyone else had this and is there a fix?

 

Thanks

Andy

Hi,

 

i have a hittle problem by managing my resourcepools. My vCenter has two cluster with the same resourcepool-names. I would like to adjust the share values of these ressourcepool. With get-Cluster and get-resourcepool could i collect the data. But if i would change the share values i could not specify the cluster so they would be change both resourcepools. Is there any solution to specify the Cluster?

VMFS 5 compatibility

Hi,

 

I'm trying unsuccessfully to find an up to date VMFS compatibility table, I've looked at the compatibility matrix but can't find anything specific. What I need to confirm is whether VMFS datastores created on ESXi hosts 5.5 are compatible with 5.0 hosts? I would have thought they were but need to know definitively as it's part of a project plan I'm working on.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

With PowerCLI 5.8 Release 1 this property field .ExtensionData.Summery.RunTime.BootTime is still empty with some VM's. So this bug hasn't been solved yet?

 

Kind regards,

My favorite in all this is what they have done for ESXi 6.

They have finally listened to us and gave a desktop client. Wait till you see it.

 

The a**holes simply wrapped IE in a desktop shell and are now calling this a desktop client. If this isn't the true definition of adding insults to injuries, I am not sure what else is.

Yes folks, we will soon have the pleasure of installing a useless desktop application that wraps a browser for us. Basically, we are too incompetent to open up a browser and type in the url to web client.

Hello Rivers_X,

 

You are welcome.

The program (Fusion) and the data (your VMs) are separate and updating/replacing the program does not touch your data.

You will not loose your data, the VMs are not touched by the uninstall/install or update.

 

Having said that, it is always a good idea to make a copy of your important data to an external disk on regular times.

There are also other things - like a disk malfunctioning - that can lead to data loss.

 

Please note that Time Machine is not a reliable way to backup virtual machines.

 

For a more detailed answer on the why/how let me refer you to this elaborate answer from WoodyZ

Afaik this is not a PowerCLI bug (remember the ExtensionData maps to a read-only copy of the actual vSphere object).

This is an ESXi issue in my opinion.

In uno Standard vSwitch crei un port group con abilitato il promiscuous mode. Tutte le vm collegate a quel port group riceveranno il traffico che passa nello Standard vSwitch con lo stesso tag VLAN (per vedere il traffico di tutte le VLAN occorre impostare come tag VLAN 4095 al port group). Tutte le altre vm non collegate a quel port group riceveranno solo il traffico a loro destinato.
