Nagios Plugin: check_esxi_hardware.py
This script is a Nagios plugin to monitor the hardware of ESX and ESXi servers. It can also be used as standalone script to check the hardware – Nagios isn’t necessary to run it. The plugin is written in python, so you need to have python installed. See Requirements for more information. 继续阅读
vCenter Server 5.5 setup stuck installing Directory Services
If you ever land up in a situation where your vCenter Server setup is stuck at the directory services stage and in the “VMINST.LOG” found under %temp% u see it trying to perform the following..
- VMware VirtualCenter-build-1235232: 02/20/14 09:48:55 Attempting to launch [“C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe” /c start /w C:\Windows\system32\ocsetup.exe DirectoryServices-ADAM /passive /norestart]
Esxi 5.5 添加存储设备的问题
将一台服务器用过的磁盘加入到ESXi主机中,通过vSphere Client添加存储一直提示 esxi在x.x.x.x上调用对象 “ha-datastoresystem”的“HostDatastoreSystem.QueryVmfsDatastoreCreateOptions”
用ssh连上esxi服务器,fdisk -l查看磁盘信息如下:
/dev/disks # fdisk -l

把该硬盘(Disk /dev/disks/naa.5000c500213f8657)模式改为msdos即可以vSphere Client上加载硬盘。
使用以下命令:
partedUtil -h获得帮助。
Create New Label (all existing data will be lost): mklabel <diskName> <label>
使用这个创建新卷标选项,所有数据会丢失。
/dev/disks # partedUtil mklabel /dev/disks/naa.5000c500213f8657 msdos
/dev/disks # fdisk -l

再次通过vsphere client添加存储时没有出错。
