It sounds like this will be a log deep dive.
Getting VMware support attention and scheduling a time can be done. At the end of each email they send is their supervisor's email. Personally I have never had any issues scheduling but when needed, I escalate to the supervisor to get results.
Hi All,
I configured iSCSI Software adapter in ESXi 6.5, but got the following pic.
Could you help me？
Thanks.
Good afternoon everyone,
I created an up/down Alert in VROPS but its kinda ugly. I have to wait for almost 10min before I get the email because of the pulling. is there a way it could you ping or something instead of a pull?
1. I want an email alert when the VM goes down repeating every hour.
2. I want an email alert when a VM goes back up and has been up for more than 5min once.
The body of the email should contain the following:
1. VCENTER
2. Cluster
3. Host
4.VM name
5.The VM IP
6. the resource pool or VM Tag the VM belongs.
5.Was it powered down or did HA trigger the alert.
is this possible? we are evaluating both VROPS and Solarwinds.
Right. First LUN has to be expanded and only then vmfs datastore can be extended.
When I right click on the datastore and go to Properties it doesn't give me the option to Increase it is grayed out. And yes the LUN was expanded on the Dell Perc H700 raid card. That is why the VMFS says it is 21.83 TB in size the original size was 10.91. The Datastore is still only 10.91 even though it says the disk is using all of the space.
Now I do apologize I didn't see your response from earlier until today. If you would like I can rerun any commands on the system to attempt the expansion. I am also needing to do this on another server but I need to get this one done first to take the data from the other server.
this is for a RTOS VM where the dvportgrp starts dropping 100% packet rate if i disable the promiscuous mode. if i enable it , its leaking all the packets to other dvportgroup which is expected behavior. I could not get the traffic flow in case of vlan.
Could someone suggest clearly what I'm missing to see here? I have very limited knowledge available on this RTOS under test rite now.
To increase size on the vmfs from web client Select the datastore to grow and click the Increase Datastore Capacity icon.
Do you see the LUN from here?
Ok so that appears to work but I get this message:
Now my question is will I lose my VM's that are running on the Datastore or will they still be there?
OK I think I might have an approach for you on this...
You are going to need to do some queries back to vRA to get some info. Check out this post vRO Code – Finding vRA IaaS entities using OData query | Automate-IT.today
I am not sure how you have your business groups set up but for me they are based on a variable that I can get from CMDB. So in my case I would have two queries, one to CMDB to get the business group value and then query to vRA to get all the catalog items that are part of that business group.
The return is what you can present in a drop down. I also do something like this for reservation and network selection. Network is based off of what is listed in the reservation.
So, whatcha think?

Thanks for the reply TechMassey. I didn't realize the "Total video memory" setting on the VM configuration was referring to how much system memory is allocated for video as opposed to the video card's memory.
How can I configure things so that instead of the VM using the system memory for video it uses the 2GB of video card memory? I've enabled Passthrough for my video card in the ESXi web client but the macOS VM still only sees the 128MB virtual memory so I'm not sure what I'm missing.

Do not proceed further on this screen.
Have a look at this first Increase VMFS Datastore Capacity
Can you also attach the screenshot of step 1 and step 2 from this wizard.
yes,the thread is normal..
finally ,I add some require-bundle,
Require-Bundle: com.vmware.sso.vmodl,
com.vmware.vlsi.client,
com.vmware.vlsi.core
Below as requested:
Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3 is of course the previous post screen shot.
In the windows client (which I can still run as the host is still v 6, I have this when I look at Datastore properties:
Thank you for all your guidance so far Dekoshal, I do appreciate it. Until my new Synology NAS unit shows up I have no way to move the data off safely.
See the part that I don't get is that the system says the VMFS is 21.83 in size while the total size is still 10.91. I am thinking the table is messed up so when I attempt to run the grow FS i get the following errors:
[root@esxi:~] vmkfstools --growfs "/vmfs/devices/disks/naa.6782bcb029d1cb0020e26

I think that is where my problem is.
Here is screenshot of the steps. Hope this helps.

I dont see any vmdk in the file, hence you are mot seeing the disks in edit settings.
You can readd the disks to the vms from edit setting -- add -->hard disk--> use existing and point to the proper vmdk files.

I understand the steps but no matter what way I attempt to Increase the Datastore it doesn't give me any option. Below is what I get when attempting to do it via the web client:
1. ¿Who is assigning it that IP? ¿Why .135?
Your question suggests to me to that you were expecting the IP address to come from the DC (192.168.1.10), which is a bit unclear in the layout unless the DC is the box that connects to ESX 1 through vmnic0 (which means the DC is a VM running inside ESXi 1). It looks as though the XP got its IP address from the VMnet2 switch as it also has DHCP functionality. So if the DHCP scope of the VMnet2 includes 135 and the DC DHCP scope is different, that means it got its IP address from VMnet2 virtual switch. Effectively there are two DHCP servers in the same network. That is just the nature of it, AFAIK, whichever DHCP server responds first to a DHCP address lease broadcast will assign the lease. Just make sure that the DHCP scope of VMnet2 and the DC doesn't overlap.
2. ¿Why can I ping successfully to ESX1 and ESX2 but not to vCenter? In fact, XP should be isolated from ESX2 and vCenter.
It is likely firewall rules of the OS that vCenter runs on that is preventing the ping. If it is Windows usually incoming ping is blocked. If you want to allow ping you can add this in the firewall rules. Run this using Command Prompt Admin (or you could manually through the Firewall settings GUI)
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Allow Incoming ICMP" dir=in protocol=ICMPv4 remoteip=192.168.1.0/24
To delete the rule above
netsh advfirewall firewall delete rule name="Allow Incoming ICMP"
3. In vSphere console, "Management Network" is the only that has "IP Settings" tab (apart from "General", "Security", "Traffic Shaping",...). ¿Why is this so?
Only the Management Network would have an IP address as the other networks (VMNetwork) are just virtual switches. As the name sort of implies, it is to manage network settings of the ESXi server itself. The other networks are just virtual switches. I suppose in a real world implementation, the ESXi will have a fixed IP address and the VMs running inside (a physical) ESXi server, depending on its role, will either have a static IP address (for example, a DC) or have it assigned dynamically through DHCP (such as through a DC which could be a VM or running as physical machine just like the ESXi). The ESXi server itself can even join the domain. Maybe you can try later on to make ESXi 2 as part of the domain running inside ESXi 1 (now this is becoming convoluted very quickly).

We can try to recreate the partition table to fix this issue.
It saying just giving you choice to create a new datatsore.
That's strange. Not sure if LUN was properly expanded?
so when in Web client do you go to summary page to launch the extand data store wizard?
