hi,all
I just got a brand new Intel NUC10i7FNH.
When installing the ESXi in,Prompt "no network adapters" after completing hardware scan.
I found the integrated lan is Intel® Ethernet Connection I219-V.
It's the same model on my nuc8,and it works normally.
Has any one ever installed esxi on nuc10?
Hi
We are using VCSA 6.7 with five esxi 6.7 hosts & multiple vms are are running inside the esxi hosts.
I have no Sound card installed on Esxi hosts but we need Sound from VMs. Can we do that? Please let me know if possible. It will highly appreciable for the earliest response.
Thank in advance
Hey Everyone -
Need to run cluster software which I had working just fine in a lab. However, had to buy a much larger system due to resource constraints. That being said, I purchased the 64 core AMD Threadripper 3990x with an Asus mobo.
When it boots off USB it goes through the initialization process dying with the following. Also, mistakenly transferred a disk with ESXi 6.7 previously installed with the same error when it boots. Not sure what else to do as I've tried various options to no avail. Hopefully someone can guide me through this problem.
Specs:
Sincerely,
Saul
I am running ESXI 6.7 on SuperMicro server SSG-2029P-E1CR24H it has the motherboard model X11DPH-T and I have a 10Gb network adapter with two ports. SuperMicro assures me that this board has the following network adapter in it. Intel X722 / X557. There is also an onboard single 1Gb network port that I assume is the "default" port.
ESXI does not recognize this third port. It is turned on in the BIOS and when I plug it in to the network it shows drive activity.
When I check in the ESXI CLI, the two ports are identified as X722 ports
When I check in the "Configure Management Network" in the base ESXI interface they show as Intel X557.
However, only 2 ports ever show up. There is a third port that I would like to use for management, reserving the 2 10Gb ports for LACP or Trunking to the network.
Here is an image of the inside showing all three of the internal network ports.
Any ideas on what is happening here? Why isn't that port recognized by ESXI and why are the other 2 being identified as two different models of intel switch when viewed through two different interfaces of the same ESXI installation?
Thanks,
James
HI!
I was using ESXI 6.5 (and after my problem, was upgraded to 6.7U2) with Intel NVME SSD DC P3520 Series, and when I started a Virtual Machine with Windows Server (with vmware tools and paravirtual scsi controller), in vmkernel.log I received alot of messages like this:

Hi,
ESX 6.7 U2 with the latest update. This is a server machine, 2 Xeon, it has one Nvidia 2080 card. At one point I had a VM using the GPU, all was good. But I had to reinstalled ESX from scratch ( change to bigger disk), and now I can't get it to work again. Note that I have 2 other computers (different model) with V100 cards that are working ok so I'm assuming I know what needs to be done to get this working:
hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE"
pciPassthru.use64bitMMIO = "TRUE"
pciPassthru.64bitMMIOSizeGB = "32"
However the VM won't start. Noticed the "Failed to adjust IOMMU: Failure" "PANIC: PCIPassthru: failed to adjust IOMMU mappings"

Hi dear Vmware community! I'm a rookie with ESXI and faced with a problem. I have an issue with my ESXI work which i will describe below and hope someone could help me with this, thank you all in advance!
So my setup:
- CPU Intel Xeon Silver 4214
- Supermicro MBD-X11DPL-I-O - ATX
- Supermicro NMVe AOC-SLG3-2M2 with two Samsung M2 disks in it (Samsung 970 Evo plus 1TB)
- 4 pieces of Crucial 32GB DDR4-2666 RDIMM
Esxi runs from USB flash drive.
I installed Intel-nvme-vmd (1.8.0.1001-1oem.670.0.0.8169922) driver for vmhba adapter (with the driver by default iavmd_1.2.0.1011-2vmw.670.0.0.8169922 it fails to BSOD )
The problem i will describe below occurs after some period of time (as usual after ~20 hours of working under usual load) i turned HOST on and launch set of my Virtual machines.
All the VMs are configured identically and stored on different datastores (some Vms on 1st, some on 2nd disk) :
Disk - Thick provisioned, eagerly zeroed with Nvme Controller
Network - VMxnet 3
Others option mostly default..
Free space on both storage is more than 50%
So the problem is - Very high latency on monitor:
i started dig dipper and found very high Kavg during see high latency above (It easily jumps to 1000+)
What is strange - this high KAVG appears only on certain SSD (let it be marked with "A") disk. I tried change places for disks in PCI card, and high KAVG was still on those disk A.
At the same time i do not see any Queue take place:
Also it seems to me that latency on Vms is pretty normal...
I switched off hardware acceleration (Vaai), but it did not help.
I attached 2 log files:
- vmkernelv
- mkwarning
There are a lot of errors and warnings like:
HppThrottleLogForDevice:564: Cmd 0x42 (0x459a4233da40, 2108176) to dev "t10.NVMe____Samsung_SSD_970_EVO_Plus_1TB____________S4EWNF0M717097A_____00000001" on path "vmhba2:C0:T1:L0" Failed:
2020-02-14T08:56:48.253Z cpu3:2097198)WARNING: HPP: HppThrottleLogForDevice:570: Error status H:0xc D:0x0 P:0x0 Invalid sense data: 0x0 0x0 0x0.
In case any other logs required i will provide for analyzing the issue. I will really-really appreciate any help!
Hi Guys,
I've recently installed a Nvidia Tesla T4 GPU in my server running ESXi 6.5.
I've tried making a passthrough on all 32 addresses for the card on the list but when that happens and when and when I try to assign the card to a VM, the option the assign the PCI device is greyed out.
I'e managed to to set a passthrough and make Active 1 address and than I was managed to assign this card to the VM.
My question is:
1. Does this mean that only 1 GPU core is assigned to the VM out of a possible 32?
2. If so, any ideas how I'm able to assign all 32 cores of this card to the VM as when I try the option to add the PCI device to the VM is greyed out?
Please advise.
Kind Regards
GMSS
Hello everyone,
I just added a new Host (same product) on my cluster and i want to know if have a tool can export esxi configuration to import on my new esxi host ?
Thanks for help.
I had setup a 10TB Western Digital USB drive as a datastore and that worked fine. I just updated from 6.5 to 6.5 Update 3 and now it's seen but not working.
Hi,
We are running vSphere 6.0. We find that for a number of VMs running Windows Server 2012R2.
It is pretty slow to download Windows Update and the update process takes a long time.
Also, when we click "Reboot Server", the Windows Server seems to lose Network Connectivity but it takes a long time before it enters "Reboot" stage. Not to mention, it takes a long time for preparing Windows Update.
There is sufficient vCPU / RAM and VMDK file space.
Would it be due to the HDD is thin provisioning (Others with Thin Provisioning are performing good) ? Is there any clue from VMware point of view ?
Thanks
Hello,
I've got an odd problem with a recently bought HPE DL360p Gen8 server. VMware seem to have problems reading out serveral hardware sensors like fans and powersupply. The show up as "unspecified". The iLO can read the sensors without any problems.
I've installed the latest offical custom image from HP (VMware-ESXi-6.5.0-Update3-14990892-HPE-preGen9-650.U3.9.6.10.1-Dec2019). I also tried installing older versions like U1 & U2 but the results are the same. I'm running out of ideas and I can't find anything related to this error in the internet.
iLO is updated to 2.73 (Feb 11 2020)
System ROM version: P71 05/24/2019
Hostd.log shows nothing unusual regarding IPMI:
IpmiIfcRhGetDeviceId: BMC mfg is Hewlett-Packard FW: 2.73 count_events: starting communication with bmc over ipmi driver count_events: GET_SEL_REPO_INFO returned {version: 0x51, count 64, free 0,add_stamp 1581853816, erase_stamp 1581853816 op_support 2} IPMI SEL sync took 0 seconds 0 sel records, last 164
What could cause this problem? Where and what can I check?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you very much in advance!
My apologies, I am new to vSphere. When trying to create the first datastore on a new vsphere 6.7 installation. Under storage section (left menu), then on Datastore tab, it does not show any local disk storage to make a new datastore. Under the adapters it lists the H700 with unknown status. Under devices tab, it does show both logical storage units from the H700, one is 2.18TB capacity and another is is 300gb, which is the total of my internal local storage. If esxi cannot read the H700 status, then maybe it also cannot see drives with available storage.
When the server is booted to Win10 it can see all storage so I believe the storage configuration is functioning.
Is it possible to work around this be installing ver 6.5 of esxi? Or is a different raid adapter required? Other recommendations are appreciated.
Hi experts,
In dual SAN fabric of vmware, If replace one SAN switch in one SAN fabric, We only create same zone configuration then the ESXi will automatically restore the replaced path? Is it relative to HBA parameters ? many Thanks.
Hi. I run a VM on ESXi which has greatly slowed its performance in the lasts few months. I need somebody with good ESXi knowledge who can give me a diagnostic and perhaps perform operations (change settings, defrag and/or more) on the machine. Interested people please contact adel01@adinet.com.uy. Thank you.
Example host: Lenovo 10AY001YUS with Intel H81 Chipset
ESXi 6.0, 6.5, 6.7 with most recent occurrence on ESXi 6.7.0 build-13981272
Drobo 5D RAID DAS firmware 4.x connected to host via usb 3.x port and added to vm config as usb device via vm usb 3.0 controller
I have hosts on unsupported hardware like this in locations where it's not possible to ensure 24/7/365 power though basic UPS are employed. Sometimes following power outages Windows Server 2012 vm's entirely lose this Drobo USB 3.x device though it's still visible from the ESXi host lsusb command. When this happens it must be re-added to the vm by editing the vm config and adding it again from the usb device menu. On rare occasions, the ESXi host itself also loses the Drobo based on the lsusb command. When this happens the host can only see it again after moving the usb cable to a different port, verifying it populates in lsusb, and then re-adding it to the vm config. There are no problems like this after graceful host reboots, only after power outages. Is there a way to force a vm to retain this usb device config across unexpected power loss events?
When i try to download ESXI 5.1, it forwards to the download link for 5.5. Is there any external link to download this version?
Hello,
Wondering if anyone has compiled drivers for the new 2.5Gb realtek nic's that are out from last year. I'd sure love to get this working in ESXi 6.7. I know there is drivers for the older r8168, 8169.
Thanks.
I installed the latest HPE SPP. All my hardware is on the compatibility list (including the HBA firmware). I installed 6.7, added the HPE depot, downloaded patches, and applied to the patches to the host. I do not see any devices on either HBA (its a dual port HBA). The HBA is a StorageWorks 82Q. I removed the host from the SAN, I then scanned for available ports, the host shows up, and so the SAN is seeing the host and everything is mapped correctly. Any ideas? I appreciate any advice.
