DID YOU TRY THIS? 1 Open a Web browser and enter the URL for the vSphere Web Client: https:// vceneter_server_ip_address_or_fqdn /vsphere-client https:// vceneter_server_ip_address_or_fqdn :9443 2 Enter the credentials of a user who has permissions on vCenter Server, and click Login. 3 If a warning message about an untrusted SSL certificate appears, select the appropriate action based on your security policy.

This can help! "in your case you have vSphere HA with number of host failure to tolerate as admission control policy set. that means system is going to calculate CPU and Memory slots out of available resources in your cluster, and from those total number of slots, it will keep some resources as reserved for failover and remaining are going to be available to be used. All depends upon how many hosts failure that you want to tolerate." MARKED AS CORRECTED LINK: who can help me with "Insufficient resources to satisfy configured failover level for vSphere HA" Raul.

TRY THIS! If you can not connect to vCenter Server: How are you trying to connect? Any error? Log files? Snapshots? Reboot vCenter, like any software it can have it's bad days. Raul.

For testing - try a very small HDD & check if you see the full size - If Yes! then, I would recommend checking (1) BIOS, (2) RAID controller generation (3) HDD's are all at their most recent firmware. "To work around this issue, configure multiple logical volumes of the  maximum size (2TB - 512 bytes) using the hardware raid-controller  firmware. You can dynamically add new extents to your VMFS datastore to  increase the VMFS volumes capacity using smaller logical volumes, to a  maximum of 64TB" Raul.

Install and configure openFiler as your NAS storage, then take that 4 TB HDD to create 1 Volume and split it into 4 LUNs. thats one of the best ways to add storage\datastore to a host. Openfiler is a network storage operating system which has the excellent integration capabilities for virtualization environment. To configure Openfiler in you VMware environment you can follow the below steps: "Install and configure openFiler as your NAS storage" LINK: Install and configure openFiler as your NAS storage - YouTube Great EXAMPLE from "Configuration Guide - Openfiler as Shared Storage in Virtual Environment Lab" LINK: http://vmwareinsight.com/Tutorials/2016/7/5799894/Step-by-Step-Configuration-Guide-for-Using-Openfiler-as-Shared-Storage… Raul.

*** OVF deployments fail on upgraded vCSA You see the error: "This version of vCenter Server does not support Deploy OVF Template using this version of vSphere Web Client. To Deploy OVF Template, login with version 6.5.0.0 of vSphere Web Client." This issue is resolved in VMware vCenter Server Appliance 6.5 b, available at VMware Downloads. LINK: Download VMware vSphere *** To work around this issue, deploy OVF files using the command line. For more information, see the OVF Tool Documentation. LINK: OVF Tool Documentation Raul.

GREAT! nizuwizu Please help the community with your feedback if you think this quest was answered! Raul. VMware VDI Administrator. http://ITCloudStream.com/ Stay Connected :smileyplus: Don't forget to: Like > Share > Comment > Reply > Helpful > Answered

Just because you don't have that many, you can do this manually. * Backup the data from all the virtual machines manually * Copy all the virtual machines folders into an external HDD "Use vSphere Client" * Paste all the virtual machine folders into the new datacenter\datastore. (physical location )  "Use vSphere Client" * From the new datacenter\datastore right click the .vmx file from the VM folder & "Add To Inventory" * Power on the VMs & modify the settings of the guest OS's network for the new environment. Done! Raul. VMware VDI Administrator. http://ITCloudStream.com/ Stay Connected :smileyplus: Don't forget to: Like > Share > Comment > Reply > Helpful > Answered

I need to connect a cd drive on my workstation to vSphere 6.5? What specifically are you trying to do? Can you please provide details or be more specific about your quest! Raul.

I would start with the minimum & add  up more as need it. Leaving this at the default value of 1__core per socket It’s best to first try the default to determine what vNUMA size ESXi selects for your VM in your environment.

An opinion! Ok! Unfortunately NTP and virtualisation does not go very well together. clients are ok in most cases, however NTP server generally won't work reliably on virtual server. NTP servers should always be on physical hosts. You should have at least 3 of them peering in a pool. EXAMPLE: For example, if a physical machine loses 12 seconds every 30 days, NTP can compensate for that and does so very well. But if that machine can lose anywhere from 4 to 70 seconds every 30 days, NTP isn't so good at tracking that level of change. If you absolutely had to use VMs for this, I'd set up no less than three such NTP servers. Each of those needs to be on a different host, and if possible in a different data-center. They need different time-sources and should peer with each other. Then configure all of your NTP clients to use all three as Parent sources. Raul.
