Host-Only Guest adapter reach internet through Host adapter adding a route in the Host OS
Manual Using VMware workstation 10, in page 163, says:
"In the default configuration, a virtual machine in a host-only network cannot connect to the Internet. If you install the proper routing or proxy software on the host system, you can establish a connection between the host virtual network adapter and the physical network adapter in the host system..."
But it does not give any sample or advice about how to achieve this goal.
Can anybody give a step by step procedure to config this?

Re: Обновление ESXi 5.1 до 5.5
Собственно сам отвечаю на свой вопрос, что было сделано:
- Обновил биос материнки и IPMI заодно
- Обновил прошивку рейд контроллера (Adaptec 6405)
- Спомощью ESXi-Customizer-v2.7.2 интегрировал драйвер (vmware-esxi-drivers-scsi-aacraid-550.5.2.1.40301.-1.5.5.1331820.x86_64.vib) с сайта adaptec, в образ ESXi 5.5 U2
- Загрузился с этого диска с образом и сделал upgrade с 5.1 -> 5.5
После перезагрузки все заработало. Далее, по рекомендации vmware: "NOTE: After installation of the ESXi Update, VMware strongly recommends applying the ESXi 5.5.0 patches related to Heartbleed, a serious vulnerability in OpenSSL version 1.0.1a-f. See KB2076121and KB2076589 for details."
Установил эти два патча, в процессе их установки я как-то засомневался, а не "завалят" они мне драйвер контроллера... Ну и после перезагрузки отвалился datastore1, один в один как это описано в этом топике:
Не подцепляется datastore1 после перезапуска ESXi 5.5 update1
Я конечно расстроился (время час ночи), в голове стали витать мысли, как бы откатить эти обновления взад... Ради интереса перезагрузил сервер еще раз и на удивление все откатилось назад само. Т.е. build опять стал как до установки патчей и datastore1 подцепилась. Перезагрузился еще пару раз, на всякий случай, все как до установки патчей (все работает, виртуалки запустились). Обрадовался и на этом прекратил мучить сервер 
PS То что эти патчи ставить не надо было, это я уже понял, не понял только, как оно само обратно откатилось, без каких либо действий с моей стороны? патчи устанавливал из SSH консоли командой.

Procedure to migrate hosts with VDS in disaster recovery scenario
Hi all,
I have the following scenario:
N esxi hosts with X VMs active
2 Clusters
1 vShield Manager (VCNS)
2 vShield Edge (in HA)
2 vCenter server (in HA with hearthbeat)
1 VDS attached to the vShield and configured on vCenter with at least 60-70 portgroups created by vShield Manager.
To test a Disaster recovery I have deleted and reinstalled my vCenters and now I want to reconnect the hosts to my new vCenters.
When I reconnect my hosts to vCenters, of course my VDS isn't installed and vCenter doesn't allow me to configure it, even if it recognize that the VDS is present and configured on my Esxi hosts; I can create a new VDS but i should create manually all the portgroups the I have on the old VDS (and are quite a lot..)
Furthermore, when i try to reconfigure my hosts on the vShield manager (in the preparation section), it says that the hosts are "not ready".
My questions are:
Is there a procedure to:
- reconnect the esxi to vCenter without lose connectivity and all the portgroups (created by vShield Manager) on the VDS?
- reconnect (or reconfigure) my clusters on vShield manager ("Preparation section" inside the vShield manager web administration) without lose connectivity?
if my vShield manager (not in HA) crashed, is there a procedure that permit to reconnect the vShield Edge to a new vShield Manager or alternatively, is there a procedure/software to keep in HA also vshield Manager?
Keep in mind i would like to have a "Disaster recovery" procedure so probably I can't "export" or save configurations from old vCenters/vShield before the migration.
I have vCenter in HA so the prospect that 2 vCenters crash is remotely, but the bad luck is always near you :-)
Thank you all,
Giovanni

Re: ESXi installation drive and IBM RAID card
Having read some more about "over provisioning" (OP) I am still a bit confused about the details of implementing this. Hopefully someone can help me understand this. Let me use an example.
Lets say I have a 512GB SSD drive. This drive has 476GB of usable space. So I assume the 36GB of space is reserved for OP by the manufacturer. In this case it works out to about 7.5%.
But I want to have 20% for OP as was mentioned in this thread. So 20% of 512GB equals 102GB. So on my 512GB drive I will have to set OP to 138GB (102GB for the 20% and 36GB for the manufacturers 7.5%). Therefore, I will have 374GB of usable space...is this correct?
Assuming my calcualations are correct, then when I configure a 512GB SSD drive on the RAID card, do I set the size of the drive in the IBM WebBIOS to 374GB? What I don't understand is, someone said I should have 20% free space on the datastore, does that mean I lose ANOTHER 20%?
Or have I go this all wrong and just need to add 476GB of space to the SSD drive when adding it to the RAID card and then ensuring that the datastore always has 20% free?
Please help

It's supposed to redirect you there. Are you logging in? Once you log in you should be able to download it then. If not try this: VMware-Fusion-7.0.0-2103067.dmg

Re: Presentation Step Visibility Issue in ASD
Hi,
Sadly, I don't think it's possible to control the step or page visibility dynamically at this point (v6.0.1). I have tried to do this also and the only elements whose visibility can be controlled are individual fields. Even with those, I encountered some limitations with some actions working perfectly in vCO itself but not having any effect when the workflow was imported in to vCAC as an ASD item.

Re: ESXi installation drive and IBM RAID card
You have 512GiB (binary) SSD, that is 512 * 1.073.741.824 bytes
Out of this, you see 512GB (decimal) capacity, that is 512 * 1.000.000.000 bytes
This is ~7% factory-set overprovisioning.
That is apparently not enough in case you do not have TRIM (as in HW/raid1). Write-amplification factor is very high for just 7% OP (about 6-7). It means, for every MB you want to write (from system), 6-7MB are written. It could shorten your SSD-life signifficantly. But write amplification factor drops to 3 (which is quite acceptable compromise) at about 27% OP (page 11 of the above mentioned pdf).
So it is advisable to add 20% "user-level" overprovisioning. The way to achieve this with raid is that you pick SSDs (in WebBios, or Megaraid Storage Manager, or StorCLI/MegaCLI), but you do not use its whole capacity for raid-array, but just about 80%. Beware: SSD must be in "factory-reset" state (never used, nothing written); if not, you have to re-set it first. That remaining 20% will be left as "unused", and controller will use it for wear-leveling, garbage collection, etc.
After that, when raid-array is constructed (with only ~80% of SSD capacity) you create partition/s (using all the capacity array is reporting), and format it. How much real space remains depends on filesystem you use (block/subblock size, metadata, etc).

Thanks for the reply.
Sorry to be ultra pedantic about this but I want to make sure I do this correctly!
Lets say I start with 512GB SSD drive. Its a brand new drive with no data on it. So I connect it to RAID card and go into WebBIOS. Now I start configuring drive in WebBIOS as a SINGLE drive in RAID0. So when I add the drive do I add it with 409GB (512GB x 20% OP)? Therefore I will have a 409GB drive listed on the RAID card?
Assuming the above is correct: Now in ESXi I create a new datastore and add the 409GB SSD drive as storage. Do I need to keep 20% of the 409GB datastore free as well??

VmWare ESXi 5.5 - Lost access to volume due to connectivity issues
VmWare reports "Lost access to volume due to connectivity issues" and it does not recover from it. Problem occurs after random periods of time. Sometimes after few hours, sometimes after few days. Only solution is to hard reset the system. What could be the probelm?
System info:
Supermicro X9DR3-F
2 x Intel Xeon CPU E5-2680 v2 @ 2.8Ghz
64GB RAM
VmWare ESXi 5.5.0., 1331820
