Hi, brilliant course ,thanks a lot for making it. one question, what is the heartbeat agent name that runs among the ESXi hosts? If FDM is responsible for the heartbeat as well ??. KMXD & VPXD are the same ??
Hi,
The heartbeat agent that runs among the ESXi hosts is called the Fault Domain Manager (FDM). FDM is responsible for managing the communication and heartbeats between ESXi hosts in a vSphere High Availability (HA) cluster. It ensures that the cluster remains aware of the state of each host and can take action if a host fails.
KMXD and VPXD are not the same:
KMXD: This is not a standard term or component in VMware vSphere. It might be a typo or confusion with another component. If you meant kmxd (Kernel Management eXecutive Daemon), it is responsible for certain management functions within the ESXi kernel but is not related to heartbeat or HA.
VPXD (vCenter Server Daemon): This is the main service running on the vCenter Server. It manages the overall vSphere environment, including ESXi hosts, virtual machines, storage, and networking. While VPXD plays a critical role in the overall management of the environment, it is not directly responsible for the heartbeat between ESXi hosts; that's the role of FDM.
In summary, FDM is responsible for the heartbeat among ESXi hosts in a vSphere HA cluster. VPXD is the main service for vCenter Server, and KMXD is not typically associated with heartbeats or HA.
@@gnancloudgarage thank you so much for replying in details🙏🏼

Sir.. great job.. do u have video for public cloud.. aws and azure.. pls share the link
Hi Sir,
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
As for your question, yes, I do not have videos on public cloud platforms like AWS and Azure, and will plan to do it in the future.
For ibm servers - we can remotely connect IMM right na sir?
Hi Sir,
Absolutely! For IBM servers, you can remotely connect using IMM (Integrated Management Module).
It provides similar functionality to HPE iLO, allowing you to manage and monitor your server remotely.
@@gnancloudgarage Thank you sir ji 🙏
Hello,
Thank you so much for your valuable information , if we want to get the lab for paid how can i contact you plzzzzzzz i need lab practice
Hi,
My lab is currently utilizing multiple test case scenarios.
I would recommend you to utilize Official VMware Hands-on Labs (HOL), which are completely free for everyone. These labs are online, self-paced environments provided by VMware for users to explore and practice with VMware products and solutions in a virtualized environment.
HOL offers a range of lab scenarios covering various VMware technologies such as vSphere, NSX, vSAN, vRealize Suite, and more.
You can access VMware HOL at: hol.vmware.com/
After upgrading esxi host, but loading older version of esxi host, what will be the reason?
If you upgraded the ESXi host to a newer version but then loaded an older version of the ESXi host, it could be due to a few reasons:
Compatibility issues: The newer version of ESXi may not be compatible with your hardware, and as a result, you may have to revert back to an older version.
Installation error: It is possible that there was an error during the installation process, and the system may have installed the older version instead of the newer version.
Configuration issues: The configuration of the host may not be compatible with the newer version of ESXi, and as a result, the system may have reverted back to the older version.
In any case, it is important to identify the cause of the issue and resolve it appropriately. It may require further troubleshooting or a fresh installation of the newer version of ESXi.
Thank you very much, excellent answers
thanks for giving very useful information, pls add me if you are going to do some live session sir. I also need troubleshooting for windows server roles like dns, Active directory related troubleshooting sir. pls suggest.
Thank you so much for your kind words and appreciation!
Regarding live sessions, I'm definitely considering doing some in the future, and it's great to know you're interested.
As for troubleshooting Windows Server roles like DNS and Active Directory, I can certainly provide some guidance.
I recommend checking out my upcoming videos as I'll be covering topics related to those areas.
Thank you again for your support!
