Yup, proxy mode solved my issue after a lot of head bashing and VLAN changes..

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. 
Don't know how you figured that out but I'm impressed!  Thanks very much, been banging my head on this one! 
Thanks Luc, I've been reading a lot of different ways of extracting the serial number but this is the syntax I've been looking for.  Thanks very much!

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"
