  HI -.

  IM Foglight v7 running in trial mode.

  5.5 system comes quickly and everyting monitors we nice.

  The system 5.0 is added and then hosts, etc data warehouses are grayed out. No idea what I'm missing here? Is there a limit on trial key to single vCenter?

• The upgrade to vCenter Server to vCenter Server 5.1 5.1 update 1 when the SQL database is remote and vCenter Server Heartbeat is installed

  Hi guys,.

  I'm in the middle of an upgrade to vSphere 5.1 5.1 vSphere update 1. I have vCenter protected by HB and SQL on a separate computer (also protected by HB) I also run Syslog, Update Manager and Proxy authentication on vCenter.

  I've successfully upgraded HB on all 4 nodes (2 x vCenter & 2 x SQL) and started the upgrade components on the secondary according to the •vCenter Server Heartbeat 6.5 server and vCenter Update 1 Installation on Windows Server 2008 when the secondary server is virtual (PDF) http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vcenter-server-heartbeat-65-u1-installation-windows-2008-virtual-guide.pdf

  I got to step 3.c

  3. change the primary/active server role:

  a launch of the vCenter Server Heartbeat wizard configure server and click the tab of the Machine to change the server role for the current server (primary) to the active State and click Finish.

  b using the Service Control Manager, start the Server Heartbeat of VMware vCenter service.

  c using the vCenter Server Heartbeat Console, check that all the status icons on the server: summary page are green indicating that the boot process is completed and protected from all the services are started.

  d using the Service Control Manager, stop the service Server Heartbeat of VMware vCenter.

  As the vCenter service does not start, I'm stuck at this point. As far as I'm concerned, the error is quite logical. I've updated vCenter using the secondary server, and then I'm trying to connect (according to the guide) with another version that breaks down.

  If I continue with the services stop and launch the installer SSO, it is trying to perform an uninstall!

  Did I miss something in this upgrade?

  Concerning

  Hi guys, VMware have finally updated the documentation to reflect the right way forward: https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/heartbeat_pubs.html U1 6.5 Select from the menu drop-down and you'll see the last date of update for each of the documentation is now 10/10/2013. The guide States now specifically to restore the vCenter database before proceeding with any other measure, this is copied below for convenience: "the upgrade of the main server of the upgrade process further guess upgrading the secondary server completed successfully. Procedure 1 before continuing the upgrade process, perform a restore of the database of vCenter Server, Single Sign-On database, VMware Update Manager database and SSL certificates that were backed up in step 4 on the secondary server. regards Ciaran

• vSphere Essentials 5 and vCenter Essentials - cannot add host - vMotion

  I would like to know how to add a host to vCenter Essentials for vSphere essentials.

  We bought vSphere Essentials and Essentials vCenter to improve our existing for Vsphere 4.1 Essentials environment.  Everything went well with the update on the host computer.  vSphere and vCenter allocated through the vSphere client license keys.  We installed vCenter and web client on a 2008 Server VM on the esxi host. The host has a number of existing virtual machines.  When attempting to add a host after have created the data center must be of VMotion.

  Must the esxi host be empty when adding to vCenter essential?

  Thank you.

  It sounds like you administering hosts in the mode of assessment so far and I tried some of the Enterprise Plus features! The Essentials Kit includes not vMotion (only Essentials more done) then you should remove the port vMotion group - if there is one - in the virtual network configuration to make the edition of Essentials-compatible host.

• VMware Data Recovery 2 in a vCenter Server

  Hi all

  I need a base backup of VMS backup solution. I know that each camera VDR is bounded to vCenter server, you might not use vcenter several with one camera VDR. But in a sense the opposite? I use several VDR devices with a vCenter server? I know about the limits of the VDR and probably I can achieve limit of 2 TB and only solution in this case use another camera VDR, but I don't know if it is possible to use more than a VDR with a vCenter.

  You can use up to 10 of VDR with a VirtualCenter.

  Look at the "VMware Data Recovery Administration Guide" on page 16:

  Special data recovery Compatibility Considerations:

  Ten aircraft recovery backup of data for each instance of vCenter server.

• Relocation of the unusable VCenter Server after data store

  I needed to move the VCenter server only US planes of the DataStore has located on SAN1 to B data store located on SAN2 because we were retiring SAN1. After connecting directly to the VMhost which housed the vCenter Server VM, closing the vCenter Server and remove the vCenter Server inventory, I scoured data store A and moved the server vCenter to B data store directory. "After the copy is completed, I added the back inot inventory of vCenter Server, it works, toldi it"I moved"and received an error message indicating the file vCentersrvr.vmdk ' was absent.

  A review of the content directory for vCenter data store b shows no vCentersrvr.vmdk, but rather lists a file called vCentersrvr - flat hard. The type of file, the file is listed as "file". I tried to rename this gall and turn on/off the VM, but still no luck. Here are my questions:

  1. Can I save this installation? The original directory no longer exists (it was deleted automatically after the copy of the file).
  2. If I can't save this installation, can I just rebuild a new vCenter Server and Add (2) hosts that are currently managed by the vCenter Server server has failed?

  There is another method to recreate the descriptor VMDK files. http://www.phdvirtual.com/VMDKstubgenerator

• ESXi 4.1 + VMware Data Recovery 1.2 (without vCenter)

  Hello

  I installed VMware Data Recovery 1.2 on my ESXi 4.1 and when I connect to VMware Data Recovery I get the message "connected to the ESX Server, automatic backups will not be made.

  This means that scheduled backups only work if I receive vCenter? I without vCenter run backups manually?

  That is right. vDR is configured to discover your VM inventory via vCenter. The vDR is designed to provide a central interface for your VM backup/restore via vCenter.  The cool thing about this is that vDR keep track of your virtual machines if you transfer them via vMotion, HA, DRS, etc. But, Yes, you NEED vCenter.

• Using VMotion with 2 ESX and VCenter

  Hi all

  I just installed with ESX 2 VSphere and & VCenter. I can't use VMotion to migrate a virtual machine running one ESX towards each other.

  My setup is as follows:

  the iSCSI Software initiator.

  data store even shared by 2 facilitators.

  same conf network on the 2 hosts, none vlan used (set to 0):

  • vSwitch0 for the Service console, connected to the network of the company (vmnik0)

  • vSwitch1 for virtual machine network (connected to the company network vmnic1) and VMkernel (for vmotion, connected to the production network: san, vmnic2).

  Error displayed (at 10%): a general error occurred: the VMotion failed because the ESX host failed to connect to the VMotion network, please check your physical network configuration and settings network VMotion.

  vmnic2 on ESX1 is configured with 255.255.0.0 192.168.130.X mask and connected to eth0 on iSCSI SAN

  vmnic2 on ESX2 is configured with 255.255.0.0 192.168.131.X mask and connected to eth1 on iSCSI SAN

  Thanks for help

  Two VLAN different connection to the iSCSI SAN. You should have the same subnet, but a different IP addresses (if any) connecting to the San from each host (depends on the SAN)... For example 192.168.130.25 for ESX1 and 192.168.130.30 for ESX2. Unless your SAN network covers actually two subnets on your local network, you create a question where you don't need to. I would also use separate NETWORK card for vMotion traffic and another for iSCSI. Separate them VM traffic too (makes everything cleaner and less chance of collisions and too load performance causing one issues for each other. This is why it is a good idea to have at least four, if not six, physical NIC (or ports) within an ESX/ESXi server.

• ESX, ESXi and vCenter and virtual machines

  Hello all - I need to re - certify my VCP this month so I decided to sit down this weekend to set up a virtual lab.  I managed to get ESX, ESXi and vCenter working all in s vm on my laptop in less than 4 GB.  I use Player version 3 for now.  I have Workstation 6.5 but I have to spend my VCP to get a key of 7 workstations and improve it.

  The manual is a bit long, but here is the link if you are interested.  I'll update everything to Workstation 7 after my review.  I hope that some of you find it useful!

  Nice - Thanks for posting.

  I doubt that you must update for Workstation 7 as VMplayer 3 is nothing else than a torn Workstation 7. It has the same basic functionality.

  So, nothing will be different if you use Workstation

  By the way - Starwind is really nice simulate a San.

  Another interesting thing, that you know may not...

  It is possible to assign up to 8 GB of RAM to your virtual ESXs, even if the host itself has only 4 GB of RAM.

  For this I have

  prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = 'TRUE '.

  prefvmx.minVmMemPct = '5 '.

  in the file config.ini from the host. Do not run and then

  Using this trick, I was able to run 4 ESX virtual machines on my laptop 4 GB RAM running 2 k 3-32 bit host

• vCenter, ESX (3.5 & 4), data recovery

  The data recovery component can be added to an ESX 3.5 or 4.0 server?

  If Yes, what is the pn and the cost?

  ?:|

  You can add the data recovery for ESX 4.0 ratings (SKU: VS4-STD-C + SnS is required)

  But you also need to vCenter Server, cause of data recovery is integrated into this tool.

• vCenter / Vsphere 4.0 data recovery

  I have to do a small infrastructure:

  n.2 vmware ESX vsphere 4.0

  n.1 iSCSI storage

  n.1 vcenter server.

  Can I use entire vmware vcenter server data recovery? I have an another iscsi storage to make backups.

  Best regards.

  Yes, vCenter vSphere 4.0 is required for vDR and will be necessary. Take a look at the comparison table of different editions: http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere/buy/editions_comparison.html

  Most resembles the way forward or you can use advanced or higher if you need more features.

  You can also buy the vDR separately as a la carte in question, take a look at how to buy for vDR: http://www.vmware.com/products/data-recovery/buy.html

  Build numbers seem to be off - unlike the version numbers correct for Beta 2 or RC build recovery of data and vCenter Server 4.0 RC respectively.  Where did you got these bits?

• vCenter data recovery - is it upgrade for VCB

  Hello

  I wonder if vCenter data recovery is an upgrade for existing ESX enterprise clients using VCB, or it is a new product which must be purchased?

  any ideas?

  VMware data recovery is intended as a product recovery and backup of disk to disk for virtual machines.

  The product is included in some editions of vSphere and downloadable and add-on for some of the other (for example standard).

  hope that helps,

• Video metadata date is incorrect: the value and not of creation date sharing

  10 iOS, iPhone 6 +, Windows 10. Photos and videos are shared through iCloud, but NOT stored in iCloud.

  Once synced on my PC, the photos and videos have a truncated name (for example, "016a1f2e11dfcc680e1009cb96346b67678fb2c6bc.jpg"). Of course, this is not acceptable at all to me when I organize them on my NAS: I prefer a significant, sortable name, as "2016-09-16 18-15-20259 (Apple iPhone 6 more) .jpg.

  To do this, I simply read the EXIF information directly from the image, and I rename the image accordingly. No problem for the photos.

  But for videos... I do the same, in the world, but with less information. I can extract only creation date/time from metadata of the videos, not the unit that captured video. Sad, but I have not found anything else, and at least it's automatic.

  Recently, I found that the date in the video file is NOT correct: this is the timecode of SHARING via iCloud, not the timecode CAPTURE. I have therefore some videos with a delta of two weeks between the true creation as well as the "official" date

  I checked this on my phone: date is correct (once the video is no longer in full screen, the date is displayed at the top of the screen, and it is 'the' date I'm looking).

  So, question: How can I get the date of the 'real' creation of all these videos on my PC? It exists: it appears on the iPhone that took the video (a woman) AND mine. Information is 'lost' only on the PC, but I think it's a problem of reading of 'bad' metadata (I use FFMPEG to get currently), or the wrong file for reading (perhaps within an iTunes/database file, but didn't find, not found in the registry or the other).

  Best solution is to find something operate locally, through the command line, to do it in batch mode. A solution of GUI PEUT agree if I can automate with AutoIt (i.e. should not be a native Win32 application, not Java, .NET, GTK, QT and so on, OR must have an export feature). A solution based on the web is not suitable, but can be less boring to review each video one after another to manually check the date.

  Thanks in advance.

  In my opinion, the only way to fix this is with third-party software like this one.
