Many of the commands listed in the new knowledge base article (VMware KB:    vSphere Data Protection manual integrity check fails with the error: An integrity check could not be perf…)  did NOT work for me with my installation of a 1 TB vDP 5.1.11.3 appliance.

That said, I’m also getting this message from `status.dpn` :

Last hfscheck failed with result MSG_ERR_NOLICENSE : started Sun Jul  7 10:18:48 2013 ended Sun Jul  7 10:23:59 2013, nodes queried/replied/total(1/1/1)

 

I’ve been able to do an initial back up of all my VMs, I have a validated checkpoint from before I did the initial backup.

Hi I think to take backup install VDR and configure it for autobackup . which is good option in VM ware .

Other wise there is lot of third party tool availabel for same .

Backup EXSi host question

I just wonder whether it is necessary to backup ESXi hosts.

 

We can backup VM servers but don't know whether it is possible to back up ESXi hosts? Is  Any 3rd party software needed for the backup ?

Thank you very much! That solved the issue.

 

Still don't understand why the dialog for enter the license key wouldnt show, but the problem is solved. I still have 29 days .

Hi m4x

 

either you can delete account or reenable for that please follow below steps

 

1) The first task to complete after the install was to change the  password of the root login. This was done with the command /bin/passwd  as shown below.

/bin # passwd --help
BusyBox v1.9.1-VMware-visor-654 (2008-12-17 10:01:32 PST) multi-call binary

Usage: passwd [OPTION] [name]

Change a user password. If no name is specified,  changes the password for the current user.

Options:
-a      Define which algorithm shall be used for the password
(choices: des, md5)
-d      Delete the password for the specified user account
-l      Locks (disables) the specified user account
-u      Unlocks (re-enables) the specified user account

Re: Can't find home network via wireless adapter

Welcome to the Community,

 

in the virtual machine you will see a virtual (wired) network adapter which - depending on the VM's settings - connects to the network through your host's network adapter(s). Depending on which connection you need in the VM you may choose Bridged, NAT or Host-Only networking in the VM's settings. If you e.g. just want to have connection from the VM to the network (including Internet) set the virtual network adapter to NAT.

envoie Mail ghettoVCB sur ESX 3.5

Bonjour,

 

J'ai configuré ghettoVCB.sh pour une sauvegarde, mais quand la sauvegarde est fini, ESX 3.5 n'envoi pas de mail comme il le fait l'ESXi 5.0 par exemple, donc j'ai lu dans un autre forum qu'ESX 3.5 n'a pas l'option d'envoi de mail comme sur les versions postérieures !!!!

Je voudrais savoir si c'est vrai s'il vous plait, dans le cas où c'est faux, comment peut on faire pour qu'ESX 3.5 envoi des mails, j'ai bien ouvert le port 25 SMTP comme je l'ai fait sur un ESXi 5.0, quand je vérifié l'ouverture du port SMTP tout est OK.

 

Je vous remercie d'avance.

Re: vCenter Placement

Is it better to have vCenter and the ESXi hosts all on the same  management VLAN or would it be more secure to have vCenter on a VLAN of  it's own with a firewall allowing specific ports betweeen the VLANs.

Dear addinuff ,

 

Welcome to vmware forum,

 

as per me if you will maintain VLAN on its own with firwall and specific port insted of default port is better .

I've got it set to NAT.

 

I've installed all the right drivers for my wireless adapter but yet it's still not picking up my router on the VM.

 

It finds other routers to connect to in my area perfectly fine just not mine.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

I would say no. However you can backup some of the configuration using vMA.

 

My recommendation would be of Host crashes and corrupt the settings , which lead you to re-installation, I would you can use the  Host-profile to apply all the command setting which  is need to on all the host.

Mohammed

Hi  If you have issues  starting a deamon in a guest it is a guest OS issue.

SSH access to ESXi itself which is restricted.

Just to understand your setup. Do you use an USB wireless adapter which you pass trough to the VM?

Usually you'd have the wireless network adapter configured on your host (only) and the VM uses a virtual wired adapter which connects to the physical adapter through VMware Player, i.e. software.

Yes I'm using a USB one (Netgear).

 

I know I can't use it on my real system and VM at same time thats why I've been using the removable device > Network Adapter > Connect (disconnect from host)

 

I don't understand what you mean by 'VM uses a virtual wired adapter'.

 

I just don't understand why it won't find my router but it finds others in my area when searching.

Re: disk size increased

hey a.p.,

 

 

wanted to thank you for the advice, i was doing the second virtual disk and copying the files over to that disk. I also started  looking at vmware workstation and it allows me to do snapshots of my VM. Once i finish imaging workstations with my VM, i can revert back to my snapshot. Seems workstation has more features and abilities than the player

No connection to VR Server: Disk size mismatch

$

With several virtual machines happily replicating between two sites, using the same source and destination datastores, I am now stumped with this error.

I added replication for a new VM, and have no issues enabling the replication, but then instead of seeing the Initial Full Sync, the status of this particular VM is "Not active".

When I look at the events for that VM, I can see the warning "No connection to VR Server: Disk size mismatch".  No pre-staged VMDK's at the target site, so nothing to match up to.

The only thing odd about this VM is it's disk sizes as it was a P2V originally, so has:

Disk 1 = 25.01214695 GB

Disk 2 = 70.01176453 GB

Disk 3 = 7 GB

 

All thick and configured to create thick at the target site too, which has 1.05TB free space.

 

Any ideas?
