• Can I run vSphere 4.1 hosts when you run a 2 vCenter 4.0 update server

  Can I run vSphere 4.1 hosts when you run a 2 vCenter 4.0 update server.

  The thing is that I don't have a 64 bit OS on my vCenter server and a new requirement was 64-bit DSN on the vCenter.

  So I want to install vSphere 4.1 on the hosts and vCenter 4.0 until a new server running is running.

  No, 4.1 hosts need a vCenter 4.1.

  See http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.pdf

• Cannot run add a host vCAC to vCO

  I tried to run the workflow 'Add a host vCAC' and continues with invalid credentials.  I tried the account a local administrator on the system of IaaS, an AD that is in the Administrators group and the based AD account service IaaS components are installed as.  None of them have worked.

  How can I dig deeper to understand what is malfunctioning and what I need for this power?

  Someone at - he was able to do with AD to service account?

  Solution:

  Setup

  • ROOT domain credentials are named vCACp
  • Credentials of field CHILD named vCACt
  • IaaS server is in the field of CHILD
  • ROOT & CHILD have a two-way trust relationship.

  ROOT\vCACp & CHILD\vCACt to the administrator group on IaaS.Child.local

  Admission tests

  Go to https://iaas.child.com/repository/data/MetaModel.svc/ and put in

  ROOT\vCACp credential and it works very well.  It returns the XML code.

  CHILD\vCACt credential and it works very well.  It returns the XML code.

  If the permissions work on the side of IaaS.

  Go to vCO and run the "Add to vCAC host" and put in vCACp ID with the Netbios name of the ROOT.  Breaks down...

  Try again with vCACt using the netbios name of the CHILD... work properly.

  Apparently, there is a limitation/known issue with the use of vCO and cross domain trust.   Not sure of the details and am still digging for a Ko or a few other details about this.

• Add ESXi4 host to vCenter 5.5 has failed, host do not support VSANS

  Hi all. I have to build a laboratory to test running with vCenter 5.5 and a server Dell PE 1950 ESXi 4.  I try to add the ESXi 4 host to vCenter 5.5 (towards a test cluster), however, the process of adding a host failed with the error message "host"x.x.x.x"does not support VSANS".  If anyone of you experience this problem, and is there a way around this problem?  I understand VSAN is a new feature on ESXi 5.1 and later, but I don't expect you to stop me adding ESXi 4 on the cluster... Thank you.

  My bad.  I thought about it.  I activated the VSANS on the cluster; Once I disabled the option to VSAN on the cluster, I am able to add the host ESXi 4...

• Add a host Handshake alert vCAC

  I'm writing a workflow for vCAC, but first of all, I have to add the host vCAC vCO. When I try to run the workflow 'Add vCAC host' he died immediately with the error ' handshake alert: unrecognized_name'. "

  This forum works against vCAC 6.1 with vCO 5.5.2

  Any thoughts on the fix?

  Click with the right button on the workflow and select copy. You must do this because the built-in workflow is locked, so you cannot change them. If you copy them, you will be able to edit this copy.

• Unable to add previous hosts to vCenter device

  Greetings.  We are migrating our guests to new hardware.  We had three hosts for running ESXi 5.5.0 - 1331820 with the vCenter device on one of them.  Everything worked well.  In the process of moving virtual machines around, vCenter device has been deleted (intentionally).  We recreated the device of the OVA 5.5.0.5201 vCenter and ran through the Installation Wizard as previously.

  Now, when you add one of the existing hosts to vCenter, it finds the host and displays information.  When the user clicks on finish, it works quickly up to 80% and the host appears, and then disconnects.  The log shows: add host independent, added host, unable to connect host computer in the data center; connection error host, removed in the data center.

  The error showing is: cannot communicate with the specified host (x.x.x.x). The host may not be available on the network, may have a network configuration problem, or that the management on this host services may not respond.

  
  

  Now the stupid thing is that we can not even add the host on which the vCenter unit is on.  In addition, all hosts and vCenter unit are on the same network of management.  There is no firewall doesn't block all ports.  I read through a lot of the display of the Knowledge Base, and most is in regards to incorrect IP addresses or ports blocked or similar.  I checked through everything and could not find anything wrong.

  
  

  Last thing is that we amazed the ESXi host that had the vCenter device on it and re-installed 5.5.0 - 1623387 ESXi (version a little more recent than before) and reinstalled the that vCenter device exactly as before.  Now we can add that the host but still cannot add other hosts.  So it appears the issue is something with the hosts and not the device vCenter. 

  
  

  Anyone have any ideas?
  

  I run in to the same kind of problems with other factors.

  FWIW, have you tried the following in this order? 1 stop the vpxa on host, 2 service. Stop the service vmware-vpxd on the vcenter server, 3. Start the vmware-vpxd on the vcenter server, 4 service. Start the serivce vpxa on the host. Then try to add.

• vCO - add a host vCAC

  Hello

  I use vCAC 6 with the new version of SSO vCenter. I have configured Orchestrator and I might create new actions (very cool).

  But when I tried to save the host vCAC with 'Add a host vCAC' workflow, it projects the following error:

  When vCAC uses the new vCenter SSO, the present default tenant errors then you must create a new tenanant (which works perfectly).

  Any ideas?

  D.

  I'm going to reinstall vcac6 using single sign-on and it works fine. When you run the workflow "'Add a host vCAC', you must use the URL of the IAAS server and the user and the password you used to install the component of IAAS.

• AutoDeploy plugin: Add a host autodeploy does not autodeploy

  I have installed on a different server to vcenter autodeploy. When I try to run the add a host of automatic deployment workflow, it hangs at getAutoDeployHostUr with error

  com.vmware.vim.vmomi.client.exception.SslException: com.vmware.vim.vmomi.core.exception.CertificateValidationException: server certificate chain not verified (name of the dynamic Script Module: getAutoDeployHostUri #4)

  In addition, I don't see hosts autodeploy in inventory, although my vcenter is here and I can run workflows against it.

  any ideas?

  Hello

  I guess you are trying to use AutoDeploy plugin 1.0.0 on vCO with VC 5.1 5.1. If this is the case, it is possible to see this exception and there could also be other issues all related to IPY incompatibilties. A newer version of AutoDeploy plugin (5.1.0) which will be released in early October, which will support the vCO with VC 5.1 5.1.

• Cannot add a host with the host name in VC

  Hi all

  Nice day.

  I just finished the installation of 2 servers esx4.0, Vartual Center Server and domain controller server in my home test harness. I added both the host esx server in DNS records. then I tried to add hosts to VC by using the host name, then I get the error message like

  "Unable to contact the (xxxxx) host specified. "the host may not be available on the network, a network cofiguraion problem can exhist or that management on this host services may not respond.

  I checked that all are ping and found no network configuration problem. I am able to add a host using the IP address, but not with the host name. I checked services in VC, all services run very well. Earlier I never had this problem.

  Please help me if someone has the solution.

  Thanks in advance

  Kind regards

• Add ESXi hosts to vSphere Client

  We have 7 servers ESX and ESXi 8 servers.

  Six of the ESX servers are sitting in a cluster and the last of them is located in its own cluster.

  It's nice to manage all 7 ESX servers in a vSphere Client.

  8 ESXi servers, I've been managing each with their own vSphere Client connection.

  Is it possible to create a cluster of ESXi in vSphere and add each of the ESXi hosts to this cluster of '? Or even a "cluster"?

  I tried and I get the following error.

  "License not available to perform the operation. ESXi 4 for Host 192.168.1.10 Server license does not include the agent for ESX Server vCenter. Upgrade the license. »

  We don't have a budget to upgrade the more liceneses. I don't mean to make HA or DRS on the ESXi hosts. I'd just like to see servers running on them for purposes of inventory without having to have 9 vSphere customers open.

  We have a license entirely vCenter Server so I think we should be able to add these ESXi servers.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  You must have at least vSphere Standard license for each host you wish to manage with vCenter. Free ESXi cannot be connected to vCenter.

• Verify that host VI is running?

  Hi all

  I came across a situation where I have to check in RT VI that wheather my HOST VI is running or not? I have no idea how to implement it.

  I would appreciate your help for the implementation of this condition.

  No, you would compare the timestamp that you got from the last timestamp before that.  They must be different.  If they are identical, then it has no up-to-date.

  I need to add a video card to run an additional monitor, I would like to know if anyone has managed to do this, and if so, could they maybe give me the information I need to order a correct map. I was recommended to use

  Article # G4588410 of Tiger Direct. I read where I remove the modem in order to accomolish?

  The EVGA UV19 seems to be a viable solution if the current integrated graphics adapter is suitable for your use.

• Cannot add cluster hosts

  I'm done with this...

  It started when I had to change my non routable IP addresses management network to my private IP addresses.  I kept getting errors with the host, not the new IP address.  I solved this problem, but now when I try to add the hosts again in my group, I get an error:

  "A general error has occurred: passwd: error immediate criticism-abandonment."  blah blah blah stack of error: "unable to set the account VIM on the host, could not set the password. It is possible that your password does not meet the criteria of complexity defined by the system. »

  It is ESXi 5.5u3, I tried the following:

  Remove the vpxa account, restarted host - same mistake

  Restart the services vpxa - same mistake

  Restart the vCenter - same mistake

  VI etc/pam.d/passwd: N0, N1, N2, N3, N4 - same mistake

  VI etc/pam.d/passwd: n0=-1,n1=-1,n2=-1,n3=-1,n4=-1--meme error

  Checked the system authentication, do not know what its supposed to look like, but both hosts match

  For the life of me, I can't understand it and Google has basically the same steps that I have just listed, I don't want to really blow the configuration and reinstall, but he is looking to get down to that... unless someone here knows where else the complexity of password or criteria for the system is set up...

  Fixed the problem myself... Thank you!!

  Action taken:

  Removed the vpxa account - I don't really think this has no effect on the issue

  Retirement services - did nothing until I've known really

  After coming home and watching my esxi, pam.d file hosts and comparing the differences, I just on a hunch deleted after /$ISA / pam_passwdqc.so, then re-entered the information as it was on my host at home.

  SSH in hosts:

  cd\ etc.

  PAM.d cd\

  passwd VI

  My hosts had /$ISA/pam_passwdqc.so retry = 3 min = disabled, disabled, disabled, disabled, 7.7

  My hosts at work had /$ISA/pam_passwdqc.so retry = N N0, N1, N2, N3, N4

  I edited the line to reflect the password of 14 characters required and the value of the retry N, so it looked like this

  /$ISA/pam_passwdqc.so retry = N min = disabled, disabled, disabled, disabled, disabled, 14

  : wq

  output

  Restart the services, actually I rebooted the host, then add in vCenter without problem

• Cannot add a host - you do not hold independent privilege add host

  I'm trying to add a host to my data center that was there before (taken out to solve a problem) and I can't do it.

  I get the error:

  This may be the cause?

  Well I checked the membership to the Group on the subject of data center and found that I was in a group that had only READ access. Myself removed from the Group and everything is fine. Thanks for all the suggestions!

• Cannot add ESXi host to vCenter Server

  Hello

  I created a home set up a VMware datacenter for study purposes. I currently have 2 virtual machines: an ESXi host with vCenter Server Appliance deployed on this subject.

  I configured the server vCenter through web interface device and I have connected using vSphere Client.

  I created a data center, but when I try to add a host, I get "ERROR: the request exceeded."
  Connection with vSphere client directly to the ESXi host works.

  I can connect using SSH to the ESXi host.

  I have disabled the firewall on the ESXi host.

  I have read many articles on the kbase but nothing helped me to solve this problem.

  You have any ideas?

  I finally got to understand.

  It seems like my vmware workstation is not connected to the esxi as a physical host in my local network host, and so I was able to ping it unit of vCenter Server (but it worked the other way around, and that's why I thought it was ok).

  After the connection to the physical LAN of VMware workstation settings, everything worked fine.
