Usual prologue: we're testing on CentOS 5.5, RHEL subscriptions purchased. Now trying to use virt-v2v to transfer Win2008 Server guest from ESXi host to KVM host. Have enabled SSH on ESXi host, and can connect using esx+ssh://esxhost, but procedure fails because nc isn't found on ESXi. Fair enough. BTW, ESXi looks like a radically cut down RH system (/etc/sysconfig being the give-away)? So, using esx:// connection method which presum...

Greetings: I have an issue with connecting to the esx hypervisor from my guest Vm. The purpose of the connection is to obtain host related information (like network, devices etc). I am not sure what is it that rejects the connect at the server side, and what i am missing. I am running lib0.7.5, i have libvirtd running on guest-vm. The host ESX...

Hi everyone, I''m trying to convert some Xen HVM images to run on VMware ESX, unsuccessfully thus far. I believe the problem is that ESX by default wants the VMs to use SCSI virtual disks, but my HVM VMs are configured to use IDE virtual disks. If you have any experience with this sort of thing, please get in touch. Thanks! Diwaker -- http://floatingsun.net/ ____________...

Hello All, I have just started studying the libvirt and I am trying to connect to ESX Server (version 4) using virsh (version 0.7.5) using the following command: virsh -c esx+ssh://root@<fully qualified hostname)> It inquires the root password and as soon as I inform the password it throws the error: error: cannot recv data: Connection reset by peer error: failed to connect...

Hi Richard, That didn't resolve the issue. Now I'm getting the following error.

Dear All, I would like to know what functions and classes are implemented in the ESX(i) driver ? i am trying to use virsh to retrieve some simple information such as vcpuinfo domain, but it is not working, so I would like to know what functions are implemented in libvirt ESX(i) driver. Also i checked the http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html and nothing is mentioned there. Thank You, Reg...

Hi, I am doing poc for using libvirt api for implementation of esx in python. I tried researching through module but did not find a way how it works for esx. Any help on how to proceed specifically for esx would be of great help. Please let me know as soon as possible, lagging on deliverables. Thanks for help!! Regards Rohit Singh

Hi All, What is the correct way to provide a CentOS 7 - WMware image for ESX ? As an amateur to VMware - I thought - great I can get VMplayer and ESX should be able to import my image... Wrong... I even went through the trouble of "converting" to VMWare workstation and thinking ESX could import that - Apparently still Wrong... I cannot for the life of me underst...

We were seeing 100% failure rates transferring 10G disk images from ESX on a particular setup. We also weren't spotting the transfer failure, and dying with a strange error from libguestfs. These 2 patches fix the error check which should have made it obvious what was failing, and the underlying error.

I''m posting here as this seems to be a zfs issue. We also have an open ticket with Sun support and I''ve heard another large sun customer also is reporting this as an issue. Basic Problem: Create a zfs file system and set shareiscsi to on. On a vmware esx server discover that iscsi target. It shows up as 249 luns. When attempting to then add the storage esx server eventually times out, if you view it from command line you see it checking each lun and crashing out before it gets to 249. Test Environment: Sun ISCSI Target Host: compaq PC with 2 8...

Hi, I've been trying to figure out how to create a new domain(create a new virtual machine) using the ESX driver. The documentation at http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html says: To define a new domain the driver converts the domain XML into a VMware VMX file and uploads it to a datastore known to the ESX server. Because multiple datastores may be known to an ESX server the driver needs to decide to which d...
