• Convert a physical Wins Server in a virtual machine for redundancy

  Hello world

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  We have just set up an emergency operations center and run thrus by an optical fiber (so, technically, it's the same network but with some redundant internet). And we would like to set up the servers to replicate all the production servers (wins, sql, apps... etc) at end of failover/redundancy. The best is to reproduce in live all the time... but less than a number of days can be very well. If something happens, systems can be "reactive" or better proactively kicks in.

  Running on SAN cluster could be a solution... but we cannot have enough $ to build a San now.

  I would like to ask if VMWare provide all product that can take a snapshot or perform replication from all Wins servers to a virtual machine by a calendar environment. I think that virtual machine, because we don't have to buy new hardware while double set.

  Vcenter is for this?

  Any suggestion would be great.

  Thank you very much.

  Software double-take doues not need to be run on a cluster - it can be physical or virtual, and yes it can replicate a server on a virtual machine - vmware converter will allow you to P2v physical machine, but it will be a manual process.

• Conversion of physical server into a virtual machine

  Hello

  I would like to take a physical server and convert it to a virtual machine on the same box.  I'm new to VMs, so please tell me if this is possible and if yes, what is the best way to do it. Right now, I think these are the basic steps:

  (1) take operating system image current (2003 Server STD) using Acronis.

  (2) wipe server and install ESXi 4.

  (3) use the free VMware Converter to convert the Acronis image to a guest VM on the ESXi host.

  Will this work? Am I missing something? The traps that I should look out for?

  A few questions more to go with this:

  -J' currently have an ESXi 3.5 on a desktop host. Wouldn't be better to convert this machine on the fly to a guest on this 3.5 host, then move the guest to the new 4.0 host once it is ready?

  -This server is now an application server and has a few databases, such as WSUS and Kaspersky Administration kit and maybe something else I can't think right now. Is that causing trouble with the DBs in the transition from the physical to the virtual?

  -The machine has also acts as a file server and is connected to our iSCSI SAN. Will be a problem or I would be able to remap the LUN to the virtual machine quite easily just like I did to the physical machine?

  Sorry for the long post. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  As long as you can take decisions associated with the image with Acronis and then convert it to a virtual machine, I think this is a good approach.  You can convert the server in a virtual machine running on your ESXi 3.5 environment but I would not run a server database production on class workstation hardware.  The performance would be probably pretty bad if you had a large number of users hitting that database.  As for using Acronis I know that it is supported but in the past I have never tried to convert an Acronis image for a virtual computer by using converter.

  The databases themselves should not have any problem on a virtual machine.  SQL runs in a virtual machine and saw complex databases even accomplish a lot.

  Reconnect to your iSCSI SAN shouldn't be a problem either.  You must ensure that the networking on the newly built 4 ESX host is configured to allow you access to all the VLANS required (iSCSI VLANS, server VLAN, etc.).  It is an important step to ensure that you have right or you will not be able to reinstall your iSCSI LUNS, once the server is converted.  Once the networking is configured the process of reconnecting to the iSCSI LUN from inside your virtual machine is the same as if it was physical.

  Good luck!

• Is any impact of a change of the password of the local user account on an instance of a content server Cisco TelePresence virtual computer?

  Hello

  I'm looking to see if there is an impact to change the password of the local user account on an instance of a content server Cisco TelePresence virtual machine?

  The software version is v6.2 build 4073.

  Thank you in advance,

  Robert

  I'll assume, you are referring to the administrator account, but it can be applied to any local account which is located on the TCS server itself.  It has no impact to change the password, unless you are using doesn't say account to connect to the server of TCS or web interface, it will not affect the application of TCS as most things such as external storage or clustering rely on domain accounts and not the local server.

• ASA - added a public server and it is limited to this traffic

  I added an internal e-mail server to a whole new ASA5510 today.  I used the GUI because it is a fairly simple installation.  In any case, I added a mail server to allow the port 25 inbound on an address static nat dedicated to this server.  But now, this server can not do anything on the internet: the navigation or search DNS, etc..  The server is also the internal DNS server.  I'm probably missing?

  Hello

  It not on MAC address about proxy arp

  • Addresses on the same network as the interface is mapped.

  If you are using addresses on the same network that the mapped interface, the ASA uses proxy ARP to respond to all ARP requests for mapped addresses, thus intercepting traffic destined to a mapped address. This solution simplifies the delivery because the ASA is not to be the gateway for all additional networks. This solution is ideal if the external network contains a sufficient number of free addresses, a consideration if you are using a 1:1 translation as dynamic NAT or static dynamic NAT PAT greatly expands the number of translations, which you can use with a small number of addresses, so even if the addresses available on the external network is small, this method can be used. For PAT, you can even use the IP address of the mapped interface.

  

  Note If you configure the mapped interface to be any interface and you specify an address that is mapped to the same network as one interfaces mapped, then address topographiee in an ARP request for who arrives on a different interface, then you must manually configure an ARP entry for this network on the interface of penetration, by specifying its MAC address (see the arp command). Normally, if you specify an interface for the mapped interface, then you are using a single network for addresses mapped, so that this situation would not occur.

  • Addresses on a single network.

  If you need more addresses available on the mapped interface network, you can identify the address on a different subnet. The upstream router needs a static route for mapped addresses that points to the ASA. Otherwise for routed mode, you can configure a static route on the SAA for mapped addresses and then redistribute the route using your routing protocol. For transparent, if the real host is directly connected, configure the static route on the router upstream to point to the ASA: specify the IP address of the bridge group. For remote hosts in transparent mode, in the static route on the router upstream, you can also specify the IP address of router downstream.

• ESXi installation before vCenter Server?  How can I get vCenter Server on a virtual machine on ESXi servers?

  My plan for a new vSphere Essentials Plus 5.5 U2a installation is to have the vCenter Server on a virtual machine on the servers of the host on which is installed ESXi.  However, all the installation instructions I found indicate the user to first install the vCenter Server.  How can I get vCenter Server on a virtual machine on ESXi servers?

  Thank you for your help.

  Hi munkyman welcome to communities.

  After you have installed your first ESXi host, open a browser and go to https://your-ESXi-ip-or-FQDN

  You can download the vSphere Client here. It is a windows application that you can install on your desktop. It is often referred to as the "c# Client vSphere" in communities and blog posts, because it is a new implemented in the vCenter Server Web client.

  But for the beginning, install the vSphere Windows Client. You can then launch it and connect directly to your ESXi host. Here you can create your first virtual machine, which can be the VM vCenter (installation of Windows or device, that is you).

  You can use the web client or connect to the Server with the client c# vSphere vCenter VCenter runs.

• FTP server on a virtual machine XP

  I have a set up problem on a FTP server on a virtual machine.  I'm out of prompt Windows XP on XP with Filezilla host that the server I'm trying to put in place.  Network connectivity is in NAT mode (I can't get bridged to work properly).  When I start the server, I can connect locally within the virtual machine, but I can not connect from outside the server.  Frankly, I don't know what IP address to use to connect.  I tried the IP address contained in an ipconfig on the client, the IP addresses listed as VMnet1 and VMnet8 when I run a command ipconfig on the host, as well as the IP found by visiting whatismyip.com from the guest.  None of them work properly.  Someone at - it ideas?

• Cannot install VMware vCenter Server on a virtual machine

  Hello world

  I'm new to the forum. I try to install the vcenter server in a virtual machine.

  Configuration of the VM: 10G VMDK, used 7G... 2G memory... guest operating system is win XP Pro.

  When I run the Setup it says:

  This installation package could not be opened!

  I have attached a JPG of the error. Can someone please!

  Kind regards.

  64 bit is not supported as a host to vCenter operating system, see the compatibility guide posted above.  I would try to mount the ISO using the client machine instead of starting from the ESX host, it could be that your DVD image is not good.

• vCenter Server 4 as virtual machine by vSphere, ESX4 host

  Hello

  I would like to ask if anyone has tried to do.

  I create a virtual machine to run my vCenter Server 4 under a new brand, vSphere, ESX4, armed with other VM.

  My question is, can I use vCenter Server 4 and the same vSphere, ESX4 host where the vCenter Server 4 is be managed host?  Is this possible.

  I did this, but in the ESX and vcenter 4 installation guide his page 16 of the document makes it clear that: "the vCenter Server system is a physical machine or the virtual machine with access to a database taken in charge. The vCenter Server system must meet specific requirements. Also, make sure that the vSphere Client machines meet the hardware requirements. »

  Here is the link to the document: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_40_esx_vc_installation_guide.pdf

  But if you plan to do that you have to ensure three points (shown in this link: http://www.vladan.fr/three-main-reasons-to-run-virtual-center-server-as-a-virtual-machine/):

  1. Disable DRS (level of automation of change!) for your VirtualCenter VM and make sure the document where the VirtualCenter Server (my suggestion would be the first area of ESX)

  2. Enable HA for the VirtualCenter server and set the boot at high priority

  3. Make sure the VirtualCenter server gets sufficient resources by defining actions

  There is also another useful post that describes the advantages of the virtual centre running as a virtual machine:

• Stuck to the configuration of the license server to the virtual Center

  Hi all

  I tried to configure VI3 on my laptop and did almost all the configurations below

  I created as a result of VM on my laptop on Vmware workstation 6.5

  -2 Esx 3.5 Server

  -1 open run VM SAN

  -Center Virtual Win2k3 VM

  Everything is going well so far the esx servers start in 5 minutes and SAN targets are visible. But I don't see the Vmotion option on my virtual Center Server (probably because I n, t configured license server).

  I try to add the file licesnse to the file licsencse on the server of VMware, but still no help. I din, t get any mail from vmware with licenses in so attachment.

  anyidea what can be done here?

  Thanks in advance

  Anuj

  Hello

  Okay, I think that the license server is already there.

  is how to enable vmotion

  in each of your esx hosts

  go to the tab slot-> choose the networking-> click Properties of the vSwitch that is connected to your network vmotion (it must be a network of vmkernal)-> select the vmotion network in the new window and click on edit-> click on the box where it says enable vmotion.

  do this for both servers.

• NATing between an ESX server and the Virtual Center Server.

  We strive to set up a server to VirtualCenter 2.5 inside a firewall and put servers ESX 3.5 within each of our customer networks. The problem is that within each client network, the IP address must be coordinated. Support of ESX 3.5 originating server, and if so, how do I set up? If not, how VMware plans to support this?

  I think I am confused?

  It is on this link?

  Supported for VirtualCenter 2.0 only NAT

  This version supports for the connection from ESX Server 2.5 and VirtualCenter 3.0 hosts using NAT (NAT). To configure ESX Server to connect to a VirtualCenter server is configured behind a NAT, you must add the following in vpxd.cfg configuration setting:

  < vpxd >

  ...

  < managedip >ipAddress< / managedip >

  ...

  < / vpxd >

  When the IP address is the address of the host ESX Server uses to communicate with the VirtualCenter server.

  See KB 2195771 "Manually setting Cluster IP address for Clustered VirtualCenter Server" for more information on the manual configuration of the IP address in the file vpxd.cfg.

  Also note that the NAT must be configured to allow packets UDP Port 902 of this IP address.

• One of the virtual machine gets the APIPA address after you have configured with a static IP address, where the other VMS works very well with same vlan with static IP

  We have deployed 3 VMs with the same vlan where one virtual machine gets APIPA address, even after the configuration of the IP address manually.

  We do not have servers DHCP and other VMs 2 find with the same vlan

  No IP address is not used by another system and another IP address works

  Meanwhile, I just googled and got a God save the link that helped me in the question of fixing
