• Adding host during the upgrade

  Hi all

  Currnetly has 2 ESX 3.5U4 hosts that I would like to upgrade when adding a new host 4.0 (#3) running.  Kind of curious that the best route would be to get it all done.  Can I upgrade vCenter to version 4 and able to see my 3.5 hosts?  I thought of the vCenter update, and then install the third host and then upgrade the other two hosts in its version 4.  Is this a possible track to get this done or are there problems?  Any help is appreciated with this.  Thank you

  Hello.

  Can I upgrade vCenter to version 4 and able to see my 3.5 hosts?

  Yes.

  I thought of the vCenter update, and then install the third host and then upgrade the other two hosts in its version 4.  Is this a possible track to get this done or are there problems?

  This looks like a great approach.

  Any help is appreciated with this.  Thank you

  Be sure to read the Upgrade Guide, because it has a lot of information in it as well.

  Good luck!

• Adding host snmp-server error

  I install new software to version 8.03 running ASA5510 and using ASDM-603.

  The ASDM to add host computers using snmp-server, most of the ip addresses in the subnet works very well. However, I have two addresses that always display an error "conflict of IP address with the broadcast interface address.

  One of the addresses is 192.168.100.79 and the management of the ip interface is 192.168.100.252 with a 24 bit mask. It's weird because I can add 192.168.100.78 or 80 simply not the 79. BTW, 88 is a second, I tried and got the same error. I have several in the same subnet that works wonders.

  Someone knows what may cause this?

  Thanks in advance.

  This is bug CSCsm15806, where if you have any interface on the ASA configured with a 255.255.255.252 mask, ASDM raise an error when you try add a snmp server with an address of the host that would be a broadcast with this mask address. The interface is not serious, this is just if you have any interface with a 255.255.255.252 mask on it.

  The bug was fixed only 4 days ago so is not yet in an official statement. For now, just add the snmp via the CLI server and you will be OK, but proceed to 6.0 (4) when you see it on the website.

• Adding host name and the name of tablespace in the alarm e-mail

  I'm trying to figure out how I can put the host name and the name of the table space in the e-mail alarms.

  Rule name: _DBO - use of Tablespace

  Scope of the rule: DBO_Cust_DBO_Cust_Tablespace_pct2 where nom_tablespace! like '% UNDO % '.

  Tried the following queries to run the query Condition and did not

  return scope.get("tablespace_name").get ("value")

  return scope.get("tablespace_name").get ("name")

  Do you have any suggestions on how to display the host name and the name of tablespace in the alarm email?

  

  Using scope: DBO_Tablespace

  hostname = scope.get('monitoredHost/name')

  tablespaceName = scope.get ('tablespace_name')

• Error adding host vmware vCenter

  Hello

  I have the free version of VMware ESXi 5.1 installed. When I tried to add my host to vcenter 5.1 with the trial version I get the error message below. I can't use esxi 5.1 edition for free with the trial version of vcenter 5.1 is?

  "The host is licensed with VMware vSphere hypervisor 5. The edition of vCenter License Server does not support VMware vSphere hypervisor 5".

  Hi sbala,

  The free version of the hypervisor cannot be managed by vCenter.

  You must allow the hosts with at least ESXi Standard - the free version of the hypervisor can be managed with vCenter.

  Thank you

• vCenter Server 5 added hosts after short time of State "not responding".

  Hello

  I did a test of the configuration with ESX5 a vCenter Server 5 device.

  I could add a host, but after a short period of time (a few minutes) host all become the status "not responding".

  restarting the management agents fix for a short period only.

  directly linking hosts vSphere Client works very well.

  any suggestion?

• vSphere is not usage of the resources view after adding host memeory

  After the host memory upgrade, vSphere isn't the usage view resources on the summary page or virtual machines. This information is collected from Virtual Center? Everyone knows about this problem before?

  

  seems to me that you just need to restart the management agents.  If you have a SSH access, you can issue the command below

  services.sh restart
  

  .. .or the DCUI, F2, connect - options - troubleshooting restart management agents.

  Finally, if you disconnect / connect the host to vCenter which might work as well.

• vCenter vCSA unit lost, how to install a new one to take control of the host?

  Hello

  Due to a disk failure, I lost the VCSA control 2 guests. Now I manage the VMs entering each host separately.

  The backup did not work, so I want to reinstall VCSA 5.1 again.

  I read that the first step is to "unpin" the hosts of the VCSA.

  Is there a procedure for this operation? I want to reinstall and take control of the hosts and their virtual machines.

  Will this affect virtual machines running settings? new device "reads" the current configuration?

  I supported the VCSA configuration, but I think that it is not reliable because this time we made changes directly to the guests.

  Thanks in advance

  given that the old vCenter isn't available.

  and as you said that you are able to connect directly to the two hosts, so there is no locking mode either. nothing should be done 'Dismantling' part of it.

  Just prepare your new VCSA, connection inside once the configuration is successful using the vi client or web, create new data Center virtual

  and start adding hosts, the two hosts will be added without problem.

  New VC will be able to reset the account vpxuser password as part of the welcome add treat yourself.

• 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.

• Add new host esxi 5.1 for the existing cluster of vcenter

  Hello

  I would like to add a new host Virgin esxi 5.1 to an existing cluster from the vcenter. What are the things that I have to preconfigure on the host before add you it? I configured the network already, storage will be implemented when I add it to the cluster, right?

  So, what I ended up doing was just set up time, networking and dns. I then added the host while he was in maintenance mode. I have a Compellent SAN storage and im using a folder in compellent to map all my Lun, then I can just add a new host in this folder, and it will automatically map all volumes to the newly added host once I go into vmware and make a new analysis on the FC HBA host (do FC fabric SW zoning first of course). I then added a file .locker on one of my SAN LUNS scrach location/newspapers. She's.

• Moving hosts to new vCenter and retaining current licences for guests

  I need to upgrade an environment vSphere 4.1 to 5.1u1. I plan to install a clean vCenter 5.1 and need to migrate hosts without interruption to the virtual machines. The way to remove the old vCenter may not be because it requires the host mode maintenance and VMs to be evacuated. What plan do is disconnect from the host and have the new vCenter appropriated. I will then possibly incoming days guests through VUM to 5.1u1.

  My question is when the new vCenter appropriates the hosts what will happen to the licensing of 4.1 esx/esxi hosts? Will be the current 4.1 esx/esxi licenses follow the hosts or will I have to add the esx/esxi through the client license? The new vCenter will be installed in trial mode until licenses can be provided for me.

  A second question is when the esxi hosts are upgrading to 5.1 and I did not upgrade licenses will guests enter a grace period until a license can be applied? I don't know how long the hosts were in trial mode, before 4.1 licenses applied so I assume every 60 days were used.

  With adding hosts to the new vCenter Server, the license key from the host server will be added to the repository of the vCenter Server license; Even if this is not the case you could simply add the current license key to the new vCenter Server manually. Just make sure that you do not use more CPU that purchased licenses.

  Once you upgrade the host, make sure you have the new license keys already available. As much as I know there is no evaluation period additional to the hosts upgraded who were running older versions of 60 days. The grace period of 14 days you mentioned applied to versions in ESX 3.x used FlexLM licenses (i.e. license files).

• Add to that a host of SOAP translates java.lang.NullPointerException

  Hello

  get an error on the attempt to add a host of SOAP with the add a workflow host SOAP.

  I tried a few different ways to get the added host of SOAP, but no does not work. Also, I have seen here different positions within the community which I have tried to apply to my problem with the same result.

  I have attached the WSDL file and also the WSDL_FULL file that contains the schema that I want to use.

  Hope for help

  Kind regards

  A possible reason for the NPE is a problem in the plug-in associated with the references used for the named attributes.

  To work around the problem, you can try to replace the following tag in the schema.xml file:

  It is either a problem with the network configuration or there is a firewall blocking some ports.

• Deployment models for the new cluster - "A" failed to Connect to Host

  Hi all

  I reorganized my ESX 3.5 2 130756 machines in a new cluster (they were already members of another cluster & lt; - this can be an important factor here).  When I try to deploy new virtual machines from templates to the new cluster, almost immediately, the task fails with the error "failed to Connect to Host."  Here's what I did on troubleshooting:

  -I confirm that nothing has changed on the console host IP and DNS service on the ESX host configuration

  -restart services on the ESX host management - tried again, failed.

  -removed and added hosts in cluster - tried again once, didn't

  -disabled DRS on cluster - tried again, failed.

  -confirmed I can deploy templates to other clusters

  -confirmed I can deploy a new virtual machine custom again cluster manually

  -restart the ESX and vCenter server hosts

  -removed ESX cluster hosts and destroys Cluster and file

  -recreated cluster and added guests, same error

  I think I've tried all the basics, but please let me know if you think something else to try.  In the VirtualCenter newspapers, there are the following entries whenever the task fails:

  Unexpected exception received during the NfcCopy

  (SERVER_Template) (vim.fault.HostConnectFault) unexpected exception during clone. Abandonment.

  It seems that the model does not really know where he lives.  I am trying to convert a virtual machine model and try to run a migration on it to a host.

  Otherwise, you may need to remove the inventory model and look for the data store that it is and resave.
