Vmware vcenter migration. The operation is not allowed in the current state .

Despite having DRS enabled on our vmware cluster, we are unable to migrate virtual machines.

Every migration ends with the following error:

The operation is not allowed in the current state .

Thist issue occurs not only when using powercli, but also when manually trying to migrate:

$vm | move-VM -Datastore  $datastore -Destination $vmhost

If you check the host configuration (summary tab), vmotion state is set as “No”, though Host license is Enterprise plus.

Step 1: Restart licencse service in vcenter

vcenter:~ # /etc/init.d/vmware-cis-license restart
Stopping VMware CIS License Service...
Stopped VMware CIS License Service.
Starting VMware CIS License Service...
Waiting for VMware CIS License Service..................
running: PID:4108

Step 2: Disconnect and reconnect host.

When a disconnection and reconnection is performed, licence information is read, and vmotion host configuration will be re-enabled.

Iptables: Configuración mínima

En CentOS 5.7 el archivo de configuración es /etc/sysconfig/iptables

Ver la configuración actual

iptables -L

Crear reglas básicas:

# Tráfico saliente

iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT

# ICMP

iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT

# http https

iptables -A INPUT -m state –state NEW -p tcp –dport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -m state –state NEW -p tcp –dport 443 -j ACCEPT

# Remote SSH

iptables -A INPUT -m state –state NEW -p tcp –dport 22 -j ACCEPT

# Snmp
iptables -A INPUT -m state –state NEW -p tcp –dport 161 -j ACCEPT

# Transparent proxy redirect 136.201.105.2 —> 10.0.0.1:80

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d 136.201.105.2 --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 10.0.0.1:80
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -d 10.0.0.1 -j MASQUERADE

Configurar las reglas con persistencia

/sbin/service iptables save

Configurar iptables para ejecutar al inicio

chkconfig iptables on
