Cannot start Virtual Machine on ESXi 6.5

Fri, 29 Jun 2018 08:00:54 +0000

As described by JC-LAN, I had a lot of trouble with one particular “special” VMDK on a ESXi 6.5 system, which did not start after a reboot of the ESXi host.

The power-on failed with “File system specific implementation of LookupAndOpen[…] failed” - however in the end it just gave me the overall error that it failed to start the machine. As it turned out, the VMDK was corrupted.

1.) Enable SSH on the ESXi host with the corrupted VMDK - and login

[VMWare] Deploy vCenter Server Appliance to ESXi 6.5

Mon, 25 Dec 2017 13:00:22 +0000

To deploy the vCenter Server Appliance (vcsa) to an ESXi 6.5 Server, you need to grab the latest vCenter Server for Linux from http://vmware.com/go/evaluate-vsphere-en - at the moment, thats the Version 6.5.0U1d from 19.12.2017 - which equals to the file VMware-VCSA-all-6.5.0-7312210.iso. After downloading that DVD Image, just burn it to a DVD or unpack it. You can then go on with Deploying it via GUI - or via CLI.

For deploying it via GUI, just start vcsa-ui-installer\win32\installer.exe - if you’re on a Windows PC - or execute the installer / Installer.app files in the lin64 or mac folders.

[VMWare] Get and upgrade ESXi 6.5 "offline" - without paid license

Wed, 20 Dec 2017 11:00:51 +0000

As I wanted to have a very recent version of ESXi, I went to VMWares website and checked out their Products, Free Products, vSphere Hypervisor section. This, however, only presented me with a ESXi 6.5.0a ISO from 02.02.2017 - too old. However, you’ll get the much needed free license - so the visit pays off :).

So to get the latest version and updates, you need to go to http://vmware.com/go/evaluate-vsphere-en - and are presented with the 6.5.0 U1 ISO from 27.07.2017 - a lot better. With said image you can then install your server. Even if you had an old 6.5.0a install, you could download the VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) Offline Bundle - which will upgrade your old 6.5.0 installation to U1 from that site.

[Freifunk] Upgrade Virtual Freifunk Router on VMWare ESXi 6.5

Fri, 01 Sep 2017 13:50:41 +0000

As I mentioned earlier, I use a virtual Freifunk Router as part of my mobile Infrastructure / Server. With this little VM, I can actually run a big-area Freifunk Network with lots of users without having to invest in new TP-Link accesspoints: I am running the VM, outputing the Freifunk LAN to a designated VLAN and use old spare Accesspoints as dumb “Media-Converters” (LAN to WIFI ;)).

But, as I only use this appliance every now and then for different kind of conventions and conferences, I need to upgrade that Appliance manually, to get it straight to the latest version without waiting or reinstalling (and droping the VPN key…).

[Freifunk] Virtual Freifunk Router on VMWare ESXi 4.1

Mon, 03 Oct 2016 19:44:33 +0000

This post was planed a LONG TIME, however - due to the fact that I could not get it working back in 2015 (See: https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/496) it had been delayed. However, as I have the need to get Freifunk working as VM on a central ESXi Server - I tried it again - and it worked! Basic instruction to get it working can be found here in german: https://www.it-kl.eu/2015/08/gluon-x86-unter-vmware/

I got following equipment: ESXi 4.1 Server with multiple NICs.
Start up with getting the right image from your Freifunk Team. I got the gluon-fftr-0.8.4-x86-vmware.vmdk from the Firmware Store of my trusted guys from FFTR (https://github.com/freifunktrier/firmware_store/tree/master/firmware/stable/factory [ Trier 0.8.4 is gluon 2016.1.6-3-g9300421, it’s just 2016.1.6 + ee597c6 + Webinterface-color-patches ] )
After that, create a new VM on your VMWare ESXi Server. Choose an user definied configuration, “Other” OS and “Other (32-Bit)” Version. I gave the VM a 1 vCPU and 512 MB of RAM - but you can chose as you like. After that, you need to create two Network Devices / NICs. I chose two E1000 ones, and gave the first Interface the Freifunk LAN and added the second Interface to my common WAN (IMPORTANT!). After that, you’re not going to create an HDD.
After the creation of the VM, upload your vmdk file to the folder, edit the VM and chose the downloaded VMDK as Harddrive.

Where can I find the free VMware Player?

Wed, 27 Jan 2016 19:00:36 +0000

I was looking for the free VMware Player, which was available for quite some time.
Turned out, the free Player still exists - but is now called “VMware Workstation Player (formerly known as Player Pro)”.
If you got to this website: http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ - you will find a lot of text about some paid version - but if you look up closely to the last paragraph “VMware Workstation 12 Player Free for Personal Use” - you will find the text “environment you may use Workstation 12 Player at no cost.
Download Workstation 12 Player for personal use.” - and the “Download” writen in faint blue color - yep - that is a somehow hidden link. Click it! ( Hint: https://my.vmware.com/en/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_workstation_player/12_0 ) - And there you will be able to download the latest version for free.

[ESXi5.5U2] Install ESXi on VMWare Host with less than 4 GB of RAM

[ESXi4.1U1] UMTS Stick on VM [ZTE MF 190 / HUAWEI E160G]

Thu, 14 Apr 2011 09:00:37 +0000

I needed to connect an UMTS Stick (O2 Surfstick) to an VM Machine which should serve as “Router”.
No problem - ESXi does support “USB Direct Through” - so you can easily connect an USB Stick to your VM…
At least, thats “normally” the Case:
With UMTS Sticks, this feature doesn’t work.
Why?
UMTS Sticks start up with an U3 Partition with all that needed, nice connection software….
And therefor, ESXi does see an CD Rom - which doesn’t show up within USB.
And… how to solve that?
Luckily I found this post: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=26045
Which does contain the secret sauce:
Just connect your USB Stick to an already installed System… (your Laptop with the Connection Software and Drivers i.e.)
Look up your UMTS Stick within the Device Manager, get the COM Port.
Open Putty (9600 Baud worked for me, the Original Author does think of: 115200 kbps, 8 data bits, parity none, stop bits 1, Flow control None) with that Com Port.
Type in: AT+ZOPRT=5 and AT+ZCDRUN=8
Thats it!
Now the U3 doesn’t show up anymore, and it works!!
To reenable the feature, enter AT+ZCDRUN=9

[ESXi4.1U1] vCenter Server Startup Problems

Sun, 10 Apr 2011 09:00:01 +0000

I got the vmware virtualcenter server error 1000 odbc error on bootup of my Windows Server 2003 (64bit) which did serve my vCenter Server.
In fact this did mean in my case: The MSSQL Server didn’t boot / or too slow, so that vCenter Server came up - couldn’t access the DB and shutdown - “great!”.
Luckily, there is an solution, pointed to by this ( http://communities.vmware.com/message/1247357 ) and this Website ( http://blogs.egroup-us.com/?p=1821 )

[Linux] Ubuntu Root Server to VMWare BareMetal Recovery

Fri, 18 Mar 2011 07:00:41 +0000

I got an root server on the net hosting an important website and am doing backups on a daily base using Tartarus ( http://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Tartarus_Backup-Konfiguration ). But as we all know: Backups are only worth a penny if they really work and are usable after an crash. Therefor I did try to recover the “dead called” machine onto BareMetal - or at least BareAir - as it was an VMWare Machine I used.

[ESXi4.1] Review

Sun, 20 Feb 2011 20:31:51 +0000

It has been sometime, but I still want to tell my experiences with ESXi 4.1.
In the beginning, I was very annoyed from the fact that you really need an 64 bit System and at least 2 Gigs of RAM.
But the rest just turned out fine, I have to admit.

Theres an upgrade path available, so you can upgrade your ESXi 3.5 Machine via an Upgrade to 4.1 without losing your Machines or the need to reinstall.
Actually - it worked, which did surprise myself in a good manner.

[Player 3.0] VMware Player Network Config

Tue, 15 Jun 2010 11:46:16 +0000

To configure network you need the “Virtual Network Editor” Tool. It IS integrated within the Installer - but isn’t unpacked (sadly). To get the vmnetcfg.exe you need to do following: Launch the installer with /e parameter: VMware-player-3.0.0-197124.exe /e .\extract. With this command, the complete install gets “unzipped” into the “extract” folder. Within this folder you will find the network.cab. And in this file, you find the vmnetcfg.exe. Copy it to the Program Files\VMware\VMware Player Folder. Run the Program as Administrator.

[ESXi 3.5] ESXi 3.5 Update 5 Install CD with oem.tgz + ssh,ftp,rsync and wget (made easy)!

Tue, 30 Mar 2010 14:41:53 +0000

Hello,

It has been a while since I was really doing something new with VMWare, but as I had the need to install some new Servers, I also was looking for better ways on integrating oem.tgz and other features. For that, I stumbled upon an very cool and useful Linux Build Script for ESXi, made by the User Varazir. After this How To you’re going to hold an ISO Installer with SSH, FTP, RSYNC, WGET and the Community Unified Driver Pack 1.1.0 oem.tgz in your Hands. Or an USB Stick with the same features - as Live Boot or Installer. Your choice.

[ESXi 3.5] Dell Optiplex G620 ESXi 3.5 U5 & Problems with Ubuntu 9.10 and Vmware Tools

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 07:19:46 +0000

So, we happend to get an new ESXi 3.5 Server, using an Dell Optiplex G620 for that.

To install ESXi 3.5 U5 onto that Desktop Machine, you NEED to upgrade to Bios A11 and Shutdown CPU Limit ID - and do the Install in SATA Normal Mode (not Compability!). You also need to use the Tipps to install to an IDE Drive (so changing TYPE_IDE to TYPE_ISCSI in the TargetFilter.py) - than it will work flawlessly… (As long as you get the Bios updated, we had the “orignial” A01 Bios and it refused to use an Boot CD for the Update (did load but then always did disable Keyboard - you couldn’t enter anything…). We solved the Problem by using an REAL Floppy Disk… Yeah, was hard to get one. That worked! Ah and by the way, the ESXi install did load then, but the Keyboard got Stuck again - we plugged in an USB Keyboard and that one worked, the PS2 didn’t wanted to.. well, it always an Adventure setting up ESXi on non-listed Hardware - especially with Dell Bios ;-)…

[VMWare] How to shrink Virtual Harddrives?

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 13:03:59 +0000

You want to shrink an too big harddrive on your VM?
Ok, lets go:

1.) Create an Harddrive in your VM which does have the desired size as second Drive
2.) Boot the VM with an Parted Magic ISO (http://partedmagic.com)
3.) Choose GParted and size your existing Harddrive down so that it will fit into the new Drive
4.) Choose Clonezilla, start for Local Disk, Local Disk to Local Disk, choose your old Disk as Source and the new as Destitination and Expert Modus.
4b.) Don’t change anything in Expert, just klick through and accept the new MBR and Co.
5.) After thats done, you’re done! Shut down, remove the first Harddrive (just remove from VM, NOT ERASE FROM ESXi!) and select the “new” Drive and set it to the SCSI Path the old one was (0:0:0) or so - fire it up! It should boot.

[ESXi 3.5] Output Bootup / Working Logs to Serial Connections

Sun, 02 Aug 2009 19:32:16 +0000

Very cool feature which you can enable by using the Viclient.

Go to

Configuration,  
Advanced Settings,  
VMKernel,  
Boot,  
VMkernel.Boot.serialPort

There you can set your wanted Serial Port.
0 means “no Output”, 1 “Com1”, 2 “Com2”, etc…

Just enter you wanted Serial Port, Ok, Close, Shutdown the Server, hook up to the Serial Port with an Console Cable, get your Console open (115200er Speed, you can change that aswell!) and boot up the Server… Tada! Ok, thats only the log for Bootup!

[ESXi 3.5] PXE Boot to working ESXi 3.5 Hypervisor

Sun, 02 Aug 2009 14:25:20 +0000

Need:

ESXi 3.5 Iso File
http://www.accessdata.com/downloads/current_releases/imager/Imager%20Lite%202.6.1.zip to open Iso and extract Files
7zip, WinRar, or whatever to unzip Files (7zip Recommended)
http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX

ESXi 3.5 Extract:
1.) Extract the install.tgz from \CDROM\Sessions 1\Track 01\CDROM.
Its the Rock Ridge (RR in Isobuster) Session. Do NOT choose the one from the ISO / Boot part!

2.) Unzip the install.tgz.

3.) Extract the VMware-VMvisor-big-3.5.0_Update_4-153875.i386.dd.bz2 from the path install\usr\lib\vmware\installer to an directory of your choice.

[ESXi 3.5] oem.tgz and the power behind it

Sun, 02 Aug 2009 13:41:09 +0000

So, I’m going to write a quick info about ESXis most famous oem.tgz.
The oem.tgz is an file supplied by two sources:
a) the “install” oem.tgz which does sit in the root of your install medium (like pxe tftpboot, or cdrom root)
this is ONLY used DURING the installation
b) the “installed” oem.tgz which does sit in the file install.tgz
this file gets copied during the installation and is therefore active AFTER the installation.
detailed path is in
usr\lib\vmware\installer\Core\VMware-VMvisor-big-3.5.0_Update_4-153875.i386.dd.bz2 unziped to VMware-VMvisor-big-3.5.0_Update_4-153875.i386.dd and there in Partition 5 the oem.tgz

Insert the normal needed pxelinux.0 File, as well as the pxelinux.cfg Folder which contains following File called “default”:

default menu.c32
menu title PXE Boot VMware ESXi
timeout 100

[ESXi 3.5+] Enable SSH and Telnet

Sat, 01 Aug 2009 22:38:15 +0000

At the console of the ESXi host, press ALT-F1 to access the console window.
Enter unsupported in the console and then press Enter. You will not see the text you type in.
If you typed in unsupported correctly, you will see the Tech Support Mode warning and a password prompt. Enter the password for the root login.
You should then see the prompt of ~ #. Edit the file inetd.conf (enter the command vi /etc/inetd.conf).
Find the lines that begins with #ssh and remove the #. Then save the file. If you’re new to using vi, then move the cursor down to #ssh line and then press the Insert key. Move the cursor over one space and then hit backspace to delete the #. Then press ESC and type in :wq to save the file and exit vi. If you make a mistake, you can press the ESC key and then type it :q! to quit vi without saving the file. Note: there are two lines for SSH with ESXi 4.0 now - one for regular IP and the other for IPv6. You should
Once you’ve closed the vi editor, you can either restart the host or restart the inetd process. To restart inetd run ps | grep inetd to determine the process ID for the inetd process. The output of the command will be something like 1299 1299 busybox inetd, and the process ID is 1299. Then run kill -HUP (kill -HUP 1299 in this example) and you’ll then be able to access the host via SSH.

FreeNAS on ESXi

Fri, 31 Jul 2009 21:44:30 +0000

If creating an FreeNAS VM, choose Windows Vista (32bit) as VM Machine, as it will use the Intel E1000 NIC which does give you about double network performance.
DON’T FORGET TO CHANGE BACK VM TYPE TO LINUX (32bit) BEFORE POWERING ON!!!!

Hi Guys,

this Guide did cost me a lot of nerves and time, but its finally complete!
The most of this stuff is ripped from this nearly perfect guide.
But problem is, I did had some difficulties setting it up and got into serious troubles about dhcp (not working), dpkg (screwed up totaly) and other nasty things.
In the end I did this installation about 4 times, but now its working, and guess what? I did do complete notes! And I’m going to share these with you! ^^.

Hello there,

are you one of these ppl using ESXi on a small server/pc under your desk to evaluate / develop software?
Are you one of these fitting the whole ESXi World into one machine, one one IDE / SATA drive and without any other VMWare Administrative Instances as your Vi\Vsphere Client? Are you one of these ppl that does not have one real 10 Gig Interface for each VM Machine into its server - but do desperatly need to connect an real pc to just one VM? No problem! Here we go! All we need is an Switch with vlan Trunking. I used an Cisco c3560-poe8 for this, as it is my main work switch.

Create a virtual machine from an ISO with VMWare Player

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 13:27:16 +0000

copyed from another Blog:

Posted on December 28, 2008 in: how to, software, tools|Jump To Comments

Yeah, you heard me no CD/DVD burning in here. VMWare player lacks the ability to create new virtual machines by it self, this problem can be overcomed by using third party solutions or a blank virtual machine. However one small feature found on VMWare Workstation still missing which is the ability to install the operating system from ISO without having to burn in it into a CD/DVD first. Mostly it’s about reducing recordable media waste.
