similar to: ESXi support

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)?

Hi, Is virsh able to access the VMX config of a virtual machine running on a esxi host? I would like to take backups of my virtual machine configs and the doku section "Converting from VMware VMX config to domain XML config" (http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html) comes close to this - but does not tell how to get access to the vmx file. I would prefer a solution where ssh access to the

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 has the ip address a.b.c.d. ? Any

Hello, I am trying to access an ESXi host using libvirt but it seems that it requires netcat to be running on the ESX server. My ESX 4 does not have this installed and I am wondering if this is required or is there some other way to get this working? Thanks, Jon

Hi Daniel, thanks for the reply - The procedure I use is the same as I use for XenServer, and the certificate exchange works just fine. The only thing I'm a bit unclear on, is the location of the CA cert, which in the case of XenServer, I simply put it in /etc/pki/CA. And when I start the libvirtd daemon, it successfully picks it up. If I put the Server key and cert in /etc/vmware/ssl for

Hello, I'm using certtool to generate the server certificates for ESXi - http://libvirt.org/remote.html#Remote_TLS_CA. I just copy the server certificate and key as /etc/vmware/ssl/rui.crt and /etc/vmware/ssl/rui.key. And then use virsh to connect from a CentOS 6.4 VM running on it - "virsh -c esx://<esx IP>. I get the following error - error: internal error curl_easy_perform()

Hi, Dear Mr/Mrs. I have two questions ask for help: my virt-manager and libvirt version is : linux-vaan:~ # rpm -q libvirt libvirt-0.8.5-1.2.i586 linux-vaan:~ # uname -a Linux linux-vaan 2.6.34-12-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-06-29 02:39:08 +0200 i686 i386 GNU/Linux linux-vaan:~ # rpm -q virt-manager virt-manager-0.8.5-3.1.i586 linux-vaan:~ # cat /etc/SuSE-release openSUSE 11.3 (i586) VERSION =

Hi, Today I was trying to start a node using libvirt on ESX (esxi-5.1) hypervisor and I got the following error message: *virsh # define /local/myNode/esxdomain.xml* *Domain testNode defined from /local/myNode/esxdomain.xml* *virsh # start testNode* *error: Failed to start domain testNode* *error: internal error: Could not start domain: GenericVmConfigFault - Cannot open the disk

Thanks a ton for the reply Matthias. I am little confused here. How to add volume on my esx server using virsh? I did SCP and copied my vmdk image to [datastore1] testNode/cluster.vmdk and also modified my xml file as you suggested. Now when I tried starting the node it gave me an error message saying: "error: Failed to start testNode error: internal error: Could not start domain:

hi,: I am a new user of libvirt ,I asked a question about using libvirt to connect to esxi server. I got the answer is https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-February/msg00860.html So,I try to make the change on the mailing list you just added. - * Add a dummy expect header to stop CURL from waiting for a response code + * Add an empty expect header to stop CURL from

virt-v2v is capable of accessing ESXi hypervisors now. There is only one remaining use of this tool - when converting from Xen hypervisors over ssh which are using host block devices for storage. --- v2v/virt-v2v-copy-to-local.pod | 27 ++------------------------- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) diff --git a/v2v/virt-v2v-copy-to-local.pod b/v2v/virt-v2v-copy-to-local.pod index

Hi all, I am trying to install nested Esxi 6.x under a Centos7 kvm host to use it as test lab for new ESXi versions, but I am doing something wrong because I can't install it. I have configured kvm and kvm_intel modules with the following options: options kvm ignore_msrs=1 options kvm_intel nested=1 ept=1 and I add the following options in <cpu> xml guest file: <cpu

Hi. I'm new to configuring Clustering . The CentOS 5.5 guest machines will be running on ESXi 4.1 . I'm configuring the clustering using "Conga" . I see that there is support for using ESX to do the fencing. The problem I have is that the guest machines are not allowed to have access the "management network" as per security policies. The guest machines don't no

I have 2 APC UPS systems, one is connected to my ESXi host and the other to my FreeNAS. The battery for the FreeNAS will run out before the battery for the ESXi, so I need ESXi to shutdown first. If I wait until BatteryLow on ESXI, it will be too late as FreeNAS will have already shutdown. How can I change the configuration on ESXI to shutdown after a small delay so that it is done before

Hi, Dear Mr/Mrs. I have trouble in connecting to a VM ESXi server with python. I am a developer using libvirt to control remote VM ESXi with python language. But I am not able to connect to a remote VM ESXi server. I make my try to solve this issue: 1: I use the function libvirt.Open() to open the remote VM ESXi Server, but I don't know how to input the password. It seems that there is no

Morning Everyone, I'm busy doing a rebuild of my home server and am tossing between VMware and KVM for this build. I already have experience with ESX, we use it at work, but I'm debating trying out KVM for a while. The server itself is a budget build using a Supermicro X8SAX board w/ i7-950 & 12GB RAM, LSI 3081 SAS RAID (1068e based), rolled into a NorcoTek 16 Bay SAS case. Not fancy

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
