I did not realize it was trying to spin up a VM and IP it... this was my problem, I wasn't configuring a helper IP. I'm used to running converter on a local windows box and sending it and I've never had to configure a helper IP.. Seems like a bit of a different process for Linux. In any case, thanks @Alex_Romeo for that.. as soon as I read DHCP I figured this was my problem.

Wow, you guys just ruined my day. Right now on my ESX 3.5 farm I am running VMs with 24TB RAW device mappings. I just went to add a 2TB RAW LUN Mapping to my ESX4 environment and it failed! I suspect that the LUN is just over 2TB which may be causing the problem. But now I'm left with a big problem - what to do with all my 24TB LUN Mappings. I do not have ISCSI setup and have no idea how it works. Our environments are all FC!! ---- "Crippling Microsoft is the geek equivalent of taking down the Death Star"

Hi guys, my name is Shawn... in addition to being a binge drinker I also like to push buttons when I have no idea what they do… it’s especially dangerous when my two favorite past times (drinking and pushing buttons) unite in a maintenance window… gotta love liquid courage! Actually – when I saw “Move VMs to Directories” I thought I had discovered the holy grail or something… after recently removing a host from my vCenter (while trying to troubleshoot a VM disconnect problem: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1424990#1424990) I figured that this button would bring up a GUI that would allow me to move all my VMs from the root folder back into the directory structure that I had previously setup. Apparently it is not what I thought it was… back to drag and drop! ---- "Crippling Microsoft is the geek equivalent of taking down the Death Star"

Hey folks, just wanted to add that I pretty much experienced the same scenario as Tero. I had migrated all my VMs to two ESX 4 hosts/vCenter 4 a few months ago – everything ran fine… until one maintenance window I shutdown both of my ESX hosts (note they did not shutdown properly – had to hard power them – I don’t believe this is related). Anyways, when I brought them back up I found that one of the hosts was constantly disconnecting. I originally thought it was because my old Virtual center server (2.5) had been restarted and the host was trying to report to it instead, removing itself from the vCenter 4 server. However, I stopped and disabled all the services on the 2.5 server and the problem persisted. I tried all combinations of removing and re-adding the host to vcenter, to no avail. Then I found this thread. The stopping and starting of the management agents solved my problem as well. Did it live with no affect to the service console or running VMs. ---- "Crippling Microsoft is the geek equivalent of taking down the Death Star"
