Update to 6.7u3 failed

Hi all,

 

Recently I've been trying to patch some ESXi servers to 6.7u3. The patching is successful. However after the server reboot, the ESXi is unable to exit maintenance mode. vCenter always throw the error message "Connection refused: The remote service is not running, OR is overloaded, OR a firewall is rejecting connections" whenever I try to exit maintenance mode.

 

On the esxi hostd.log:

 

warning hostd[2101206] [Originator@6876 sub=Default] Failed to connect socket; <io_obj p:0x0000008c848b1d50, h:21, <TCP '127.0.0.1 : 57259'>, <TCP '127.0.0.1 : 9095'>>, e: 111(Connection refused)

 

error hostd[2101206] [Originator@6876 sub=vmomi.soapStub[1]] Resetting stub adapter for server <cs p:0000008c834451e0, TCP:localhost.localdomain:9095> : service state request failed: N7Vmacore15SystemExceptionE(Connection refused: The remote service is not running, OR is overloaded, OR a firewall is rejecting connections.)

Been trying to figure out what port 9095 is used for, but to no avail. I'm thinking it might be related to vSAN. We are using VMware vSAN on the cluster. Can anyone help with this issue?

Re: esxi 6.7 doesnt install via usb flash drive

Hello slam007,

 

I have the same problem on a Dell R610.   The loader stops at bnxtroce.v00 (hoping that I would not need this 'driver' for this hardware).   I tried removing this item from the boot.cfg file(s).   This gets you much further, until it installs to disk, then it runs into a fatal error and forces restart of installer - infinite loop.  BTW, this happens under BIOS boot process  (can't get UEFI to see my USB drive)

 

Will need to continue the search....:   Have you found a way around this yet?

How to force VMware ESXi to reclaim memory (manually with script)

November 27, 2019, 11:38 pm

Scenario

We have a VMware ESXi Server with 512GB RAM and we have 25 VMs with 64GB RAM with "0GB" reservation memory for VMs. They don't use all of their resources but we need to do this because they use all of their memory(64GB) once a day. When they do this ESXi gives VM 64GB and tries to reserve it for VM. I know ESXi is managing memory by ballooning and other ways but it shows used memory in the "Host Mem" section of VM 64GB.

  • Total Server Mem: 512GB
  • Total Guest Mem: 5%
  • Total Host Mem: 470GB

ProblemWe want to say ESXi if a VM didn't use memory for 10Min reclaim all reserved memory(Host Mem parameter). with powercli, VMtools, Linux script, a config and etc.

  • VM Memory Size: 64GB
  • VM Guest MEm: 1%
  • VM Host Mem: 52GB (we want to reclaim this memory)

I know

I know about ballooning but we need to reclaim memory manually if possible. Or force ESXi to reclaim unused memory very fast.

Sorry for the delay, I have somehow missed this reply.

No, the is the server log, its name is 'vmware-converter-server-1.log' Look for the one that has 'helper' in place of 'server' in its name,

Hello everyone,

 

I have one question about vSphere 6.7.

 

Its possible to configure VM to restart automatically after reboot esxi ? Because, i saw on few websites they say :

 

If the host is part of a vSphere HA cluster, the automatic startup and shutdown of virtual machines will be disabled.

 

We are 3 esxi on a cluster HA and on vCenter  the order is start manualy and cant change it.

 

Thanks for help.

System

ESXi-6.5.0-20170702001-standard

 

Problem

I have a VMDK file (as shown in the first picture) which I am trying to add as the primary hard disk for a new VM.

 

When I go to select a "existing hard disk" from the browser pop-up and select the Temp folder where the VMDK file is stored, nothing is showing up.

What could be the cause of this?

To be able to perform vMotion you need vCenter. I think you should be able to download vCenter from;

Download VMware vSphere

 

Without vCenter there are a couple of ways to perform a migration. If you have shared storage that is connected to both the old and the older ESXi host, you can simple unregister the VM on the older ESXi and register the VM on the bigger ESXi host. The VM's will face downtime with this way of migrating.

VMware Workstation 15 Pro - SCCM Task Sequence Serial Number

November 28, 2019, 12:40 am

Good morning all, I am using VMware Workstation 15.5.1 build-15018445. In our organization we image using a task sequence which grabs the serial number from the machine and uses this as the host name. Performing this action in VMware workstation causes issues due to the long UUID number Workstation generates and causes the task sequence to fail. I have seen it's possible to modify the .vmx, but I need to change it in such a way that identifies the machine as belonging to me in the domain. A name I would like would be, say, CZC1234MA-VM1. This would identify it as a VM running on my device.

 

Any ideas? Appologies if this post is in the wrong place, this will be my first post.

hi

 

.... hours later, here is what I have found with my Dell R610.

 

- to fix this problem, you need to boot via UEFI ( only the back USB ports are apparently visible to UEFI )

- after restoring the boot.cfg for BIOS and EFI, I was able to install esxi 6.7 with the bnxtroce.v00 loaded without an issue.

 

To clarify "found", was a lot of searching for the right things and finding helpful posts.

- someone else reported that VMW version worked for them under UEFI

- I proceeded to restore all the files I modified to see if I can bypass the errors somehow (wishful)

- I think this confirms that it is a BIOS incompatibility issue with older servers

- my R610 server issue, also frustrating, since I had esxi 6.5 installed on it before ===  just had to use the back-USB ports for UEFI to see the device

- creating a bootable USB for VMware esxi was also not fun.

- also found out that syslinux 6.x is not supported for esxi 6.7 ( I am running Linux Mint 19.2 ).   Have to download 3.86, "make installer" and then transfer that to USB.  This was for BIOS, which I ended up not needing in the end )

 

 

I am now installed and running!  ( took a few days, on/off research )

 

good luck.

If datastorebrowser shows a vmdk like that it means that the vmdk-descriptor has a syntax-error or is corrupt.

Attach the descriptor vmdk to your next reply and give us the size of the flat.vmdk in bytes

What is not working?
Do you get an error message?
DO you have the required license to use HostProfiles?
