3 esx hosts with ESX 3.5U3 FC SAN NetApp FAS2040 I have an existing LUN which currently has VM's installed and running on that LUN. I want to add this LUN to the new ESX host. On this new host, I went into the Storage Adapters and clicked "Rescan". The message shows me the LUN will be formatted. Then, I stop configuring. I report to vmware support center, i've been told the LUN partition error and it can be fixed. Anyone can tell me the reason, what cause LUN information loss?
Thank your reply, Lucas. I will keep them on buslogic.

Coz my ESX environment is ESX3.5U3. The Basic System Administration ESX Server 3.5, ESX Server 3i version 3.5 Virtual Center 2.5 mentions Older guest operating systems default to the BusLogic adapter. The LSI Logic adapter has improved performance, works better with non‐disk SCSI devices, and is included with Windows Server 2003.

dear all, There are two IBM x3850M2 servers which CPU is Intel Xeon CPU E7330@2.40GHz in the Cluster. Im going to add a server into this cluster. I check the VMotion Compatibility processor support. I want to confirm that Intel Xeon E7440 @2.40GHz CPU can be added into this cluster? http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1003212 Thank you in advanced. hihiy

Hi all, I have successfully done the vcbMounter Commandline before. Today we tried a vcbMounter backup a vm on a ESX Server. ESX is vSphere4 with local datastore, no vCenter Server, no vcb proxy server, no share datastore. All steps are show below: login as root Last login: Tue Apr 27 16:18:34 2010 from 192.168.0.43 # vcbMounter -a ipaddr:192.168.0.187 -r /vmimages/vms Current working directory: /root Error: Missing command line option VMware Consolidated Backup -- Virtual Machine Mount Utility Version 4.0.0 (build-208167) Copyright (C) 1998-2009 VMware, Inc. All rights reserved. Usage: vcbMounter -h := -M (0|1) -F (0|1) If no password is specified on the command line, you will be prompted for one. Export Flags: -M: If set, the disk is exported into a single (monolithic) file. When turned off (default), the disk is split into multiple 2GB files. -F: If set, the disk is exported as "flat" disk, with no optimizations. When turned off (default), the exported disk files will be more compact as unused space in the disk image is not included in the exported file. Examples: +) Do a full VM style backup of vm "foo.bar.com" across the SAN, talk to ESX/VC host "wisdom.bar.com" as user "vc" with password "foobar". - Export will go to "d:\backups": vcbMounter -h wisdom.bar.com -u vc -p foobar -a ipaddr:foo.bar.com \ -r d:\backups\foo-fullVM -t fullvm Full VM backups export an entire virtual machine into a set of files within a directory. Backing up this file set allows for the entire virtual machine to be restored later on. +) Do an automatic unmount of the export just created: vcbMounter -h wisdom.bar.com -u vc -p foobar \ -U d:\backups\foo-fullVM An automatic unmount will work for both file-level and full VM mounts. (A full VM unmount operation just has to delete the exported files.)
problem is solved. It is because that the server was set different RAM size (2x2G + 1x4G and 3x4G)on each CPU. We set equally RAM size for each CPU (1x2G + 2x4G and 1x2G + 2x4G), the erro... See more...

Hi all, When we finished install vSphere4 on a HP DL380 G6, the error message in red shows out: TSC: 799448696 CPU0:0) NUMA:836: significant imbalance between NUMA nodes detected. Performance maybe impacted. Sorry, I have no idea about this error, does it like CPU setting error? Thanks in advanced. hihiy

hi all, The esx server time is GMT time zone. A vm is created on this esx server and vm time zone is changed to GMT+8 manually. Howver, this vm system time is changed back to GMT after it's restarted. The vmware tools on this vm is unselected on first option. How can I keep time zone to GMT+8 on this vm? thank you guys.
The two physic nics were disabled in BIOS. after enable them, we can smoothly install vsphere again. thanks for reply.

the vmware support reply me this: The error, "File already has an encoding "UTF-8"" is caused if the .vmx file has 2 ".encoding" entries. Deleting one of the entries in the .vmx file helps resolve the issue. This is the resolution for the above error. and, The issue of the .encoding parameter being repeated twice in the .vmx file is known to occur if the VM has been converted twice. For e.g. VMware Converter 3.0.3 will first add a parameter such as .encoding = "windows-1252" and subsequent conversions will add .encoding = "UTF-8" The above issue has been fixed with the later versions of VMware Converter. thank you.

dear all: Today I had an error while trying to convert a WinXP VM from an ESX3.5U3 server to vSphere4 ESX server with the VMware converter. But I got an error : File "/vmfs/volumes/xxxxx/ServerName/ServerName.vmx" line 65: File already has an encoding "UTF-8". Cannot open configuration file /vmfs/volumes/xxxxx/ServerName/ServerName.vmx. I edited ServerName.vmx file, find the line 65 and delete it. After this has been done, the VM is working fine. Why? Is this a bug for converter? Thank you in advanced. hihiy
