similar to: ESX support for virt-install

Hi. VMWare has an own/modified mboot.c32, which is capable of using Configfiles. This mboot.c32 is on every Installsystem for their ESXi hypervisor install-iso. Until syslinux 4.07 this works with pxelinux out of the box. Since 5.x this mboot.c32 will not work anymore. There seem to be more modifications than only a parameter "-c". Does anyone has an idea what has changed so this

Hi, I am currently using libvirt API(java api) for creating VMs in esxi host. I am passing commands as follows:(trying from terminal) virsh -c esx://192.168.0.144?no_verify=1 define /home/bm/eee.xml Domain eee defined from /home/bm/eee.xml I have attached the eee.xml file and the eee.vmx from the esxi datastore with this mail. the versions i am using is : virsh # version Compiled against

Hi, I am running virsh 1.0.2 with standalone esxi 5.5up1 I would like to upload iso image to the esxi. I am executing commands vol-create followed by vol-upload, that leads me to success for libvirt/qemu. But with esx driver I get the following. virsh # vol-create-as --pool datastore2 --name coreos_production_iso_image.iso --format raw --capacity 139460608 error: Failed to create vol

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, is there some easy way how to shut down vmware ESXi host? We have same apc smart 1500 and I passed usb port into one virtual linux, so it can monitor ups state via NUT. So how can i make esx server avare of low battery? Maybe using vsphere-cli utils? With regards Libor -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

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)?

Hello, I’m running virsh v1.1.3 compiled on a ubuntu system with the "--with-esx=yes” support. root@kvm-189:/home/cisco# virsh --version 1.1.3 I also have a vcenter 5.5 environment that has following structure (couple of hosts at datacenter level, others part of cluster group): MIC-VC-ADMIN MIC-DC-ADMIN 10.58.6.110 10.58.6.113 MIC-CL-ADMIN 10.58.6.109 10.58.6.118

Hi, I have started a virtual machine on my ESXi server. I was trying to attach a console to it but when I executed the command I got a message saying that *"Attaching a console is not supported in the current hypervisor." *Is there any way (patch or something) through which I can attach a console to my VM. The ESX version is 5.1 and I am using latest version of libvirt. Regards, Varun

Hi, Is there a way to use a locally stored copy of an exsi created virtual machine to convert to libvirt via virt-v2v? I don't want to have to download the image from the esxi server each time I run virt-v2v as that copy takes a long time. Perhaps I'm just missing the command line option. What I would like to do is copy the image manually to the virt-v2v server and work on it locally

I can login just fine, list all the guests/domains but when I try to reboot or shutdown one of my guests/domains I get this error: virsh # reboot dbcluster1 error: Failed to reboot domain dbcluster1 error: internal error HTTP response code 500 for call to 'RebootGuest'.

I always used IET on CentOS but I have a quick server to setup to backup some VM's, then migrate to DAS on another server and the easiest way for me will be to accomplish this via iSCSI vmfs stores. I figured I would just use the ini that ships with CentOS but have never used it against ESX, anyone do this and have experiences they care to share? Should it be trivial or are there any non

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
