• a vCenter Server sVMotion

  My vcenter is installed on a virtual machine.

  I want to migrate the vCenter for different storage LUN

  is it possible to do this? the vCenter from here start that sVMotion is the virtual machine I'm moving.

  for me, it doesn't have a couple of times. just wondering if there are dependencies anywhere!

  It shouldn't be a reason why he's not moving just because it's a vcenter server.

  Maybe there are other reasons.

  you get the errors that are displayed?

  post your logs.

  Edit:

  just tried on my own server

  works very well.

  its something on your side.

• VCenter Server installed as a virtual machine within a ESXi servers it manages?

  Hi all.  I'm new in the world of VSphere... still in my evaluation period.

  I have only a single ESXi server running at the moment but plans to add a second later for high availability, vmotion, increase general capacity, etc.  They are / will be ESXi running on the internal storage and the virtual machines running on a shared SAN.

  Today, I installed VCenter Server 4 on a server at bottom of range/Office that I was carrying around running XP Pro x 64.

  As I was installing I read the guide installation and to my surprise, it seems to recommend that I have installed VCenter Server 4 as a virtual machine on my ESXi host.

  Now maybe I just spent too much time setting up my without new Lefthand requiring a 'witness' during the failover of one SAN to another... but I was under the impression that VCenter Server is not designed simply to host configuration, but is also designed to act as a 'witness' or to take account of quorum whenever a failure scenario occurred on one of my ESXi hosts.  I also noticed the VCenter Server features of a port "heartbeat", which I suppose one would use for the ESXi server heartbeat, but perhaps it is used for "connected mode" with other VCenter servers (I was intending to use only one since it is a small scale installation) I also felt that it would be useful enough to restore a damaged or shot ESXi host.

  So my question is, if my ESXi host dies and it is where I have VCenter Server installed, then high availability will be unable to work?  I guess there are going to be other issues with me unable to access VCenter Server while I have an ESXi host shot, too, as a greater difficulty to get the ESXi up?

  Maybe I'm wrong understand the purpose of the VCenter server... maybe it's not something that's necessary for HA, recovery, etc. and acts only as a configuration tool until something is wrong?  Or maybe I misunderstood the installation guide and they recommend only installing VCenter Server on an ESX box... they don't want this ESX box to be part of the group that manages the server?

  Finally, if indeed they recommend I install this on a ESXi host manages... would I ideally be install this for local storage on the server (where I installed ESXi) or on the SAN (where all my other virtual machines are installed)... or is it just personal preference?

  Thank you!!

  When you add hosts an active hemagglutinin vCenter cluster HA agent is installed on it.  This agent is what is actually the HA.  While necessary to add new hosts in a cluster and configure some specific parameters of vCenter vCenter's agents HA are self-sufficient and can handle HA failover so vCenter is offline.

  You must install the vCenter VM on SAN storage, so that he can use the vMotion, sVmotion, DRS, HA, functions etc. that require a SAN.

• How to change the MOB OpenManage integration for vCenter Server registration

  A few months back, I've updated our installation of the vCenter for v2 plugin, now called OpenManage integration for vCenter Server. When you perform the upgrade, we have kept the old base done vs a new installation. During the upgrade process, we deployed the new device under a new name of the computer.

  Everything works well except that we noticed an annoying thing. Registration of the plugin is the former name of the server instead of the name of the new server-oriented. It is validated by looking at the web page MOB: http://vcenter Server/fmt drilling then down through:

  Content--> Extension Manager--> extensionList ["com.dell.plugin.OpenManage_Integration_for_VMware_vCenter"] --> server--> URL string

  The configuration of the appliamnce shows the correct new name of the device and the administration console is accessible via the new name for the device. The only place where we see the old name of the device is in the MOB config.

  We tried to remove the plugin and added, but still cannot change the value of server URL to reflect the new name of the device. Until we solve this problem, I work around the problem by keeping just the DNS entry for the old name of the server in DNS.

  Anyone know who to change the property MOB for the URL of the server?

  I solved the problem.

  I found the following article that shows how to upgrade the extension. I just cut and paste into my current values with the URL of update and now all is good.

• VMware vCenter Server service stops or restarts at the start of data collection

  VMware vCenter Server service stops or restarts at the start of data collection

  I am using vCenter Server 5.0

  Whenever I have begin to collect data, vcenter service stops or restarts, if I stop data collection and to disable the agent, vcenter service again and works well.

  Please any help!

  Thanks in advance

  It is a known issue, relating to the collection of historical data being enabled (nonzero) in the properties of the VMWare Agent on the Agent status screen.

  Change to 0 to disable/re-enable the agent and it should fix the problem.

  Please open a ticket of level 1 with telephone support if you need more help.

• Multiple Instances of the same vCenter Server listed

  I uninstalled and then reinstalled the installer of VMware vFoglight for agents of collector/connector on my vCenter server. It is now listed twice in my console vFoglight. How can I delete the duplicate entry?

  Hi Gerry. There is an option to remove the old date within the FMS. Vizioncore gave me a doc that explains it.
  in the left menu, go to foglight-> servers-> data-> vmware model management
  Here, you can select the vc to remove... but be careful with what you remove! Make sure that the right vc :-)
  If you led the whole tree and restart the service of Fogle, it should disappear... give fms a few minutes to delete (depends on the size of the data) before restarting the service... cheers, patrik

• VMWare v6.0 to 6U1 or 6U2 Upgrade - external PSC - 1603 errors in vCenter Server

  Hi all

  I was wondering if someone met the upgrade a version 6.0 VMWare install to U1 or U2 upgrade and received a 1603 error.

  The installation runs correctly on the external PSC, but when running against the vCenter Server fails and has a 1603 error and did a restore.

  The VCSServiceManager component installation failed with error code "1603". Check the logs for more details

  I tried all the other threads suggesting to have .net installed 3.5, the ipv4 stack and database permissions but are all there.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  For those who have encountered this problem in the future, was the way I solved this:

  Question has been connected to the VMWare SysLog Collector Service. There is a problem with the new syslogcollection MSI being able to upgrade, uninstall or reinstall on the legacy.

  Best way to solve this problem is to remove the reference to the old service of library of Windows Setup syslog collector. The way I did it was to use the Windows Installer CleanUp legacy.

  Post this, remove installation held as scheduled and transmitted "installation VCSServiceManager.

  If you come across this issue - you can test it by trying to run the msi syslogcollector contained in the directory of files binary vCenter.

• Service component of VMware Manager fails to start in vCenter Server 6 Update 2

  Hello

  A brief idea of my test environment:

  VCenter servers:

  VC1 - recorded at the psc1 in Site1

  VC2 - recorded at psc2 in Site2

  External Services platform controllers:

  psc1 - Site1

  PSC2 - Site2

  SSO domain: vsphere.local

  I upgraded from vCenter Server 5.5 update 3d to vCenter Server 6.0 Update 2. VCenter 5.5 servers had integrated / embedded of SSO and all services running on the same machine and were in modes related before the upgrade and I have them removed modes related before the upgrade. They have been upgraded to vCenter Server 6.0 with Embedded PSC and they entered automatically improved Linked Mode (ELM).

  After the previous step, I deployed the PSC external psc1 respectively 2 and psc2 mode of replication with vc1 and vc2 in the same site Site1 and Site2. I migrated then boarded two PSC vCenter servers to their respective partners external PSC of replication by running the command cmsso-util reconfigure - repoint-PSC "psc1/psc2" - administrator user name - domain name "vsphere.local" - passwd "Hasło_Administratora." This operation ended successfully and my vCenter have been reconfigured as vCenter Server with external CFP.

  After that, I followed article KB VMware 2127057 (agreements ofdetermination of replication and the State with the service controller 6.0 platform (2127057) |) The VMware KB) do psc1 and psc2 external replication of the PSC 2 partners either by running the command vdcrepadmin-f createagreement-2--h psc2.clifford.local h psc1.clifford.local u Administrator w 'Hasło_Administratora '. I ran this command psc2. Also, this operation succeeded, and when I ask the State of replication of the psc1 of replication partners and psc2, there is nothing wrong. However, after restarting my vSphere Infrastructure, I see that vc1, psc1 and psc2 have all their services started successfully.

  VC2 services seem to be failing, especially the service component manager of VMware which is required for many other services start. The VMware HTTP Reverse Proxy service starts properly and I have no IIS role / feature installed on my machine. The error message that occurs when you try to manually start the service is also attached as a file Error2.JPG in the discussion. The Windows event log error is as deeply as the file Error3.JPG in the discussion.

  Please let me know how to solve this problem as soon as possible.

  Well, I found a solution myself.

  In fact, after I created the external PSC 2 psc1 and psc2 partners of replication of the vc1 and vc2 in Site1 and Site2 respectively, I had to immediately follow section KB VMware 2127057 in order to create a replication agreement between the 2 external to the PSC psc1 and before psc2 I reconfigured and show the vCenter servers vc1 and vc2 of on-Board of the PSC outside the PSC following the VMware Documentation (Center of) VSphere documentation 6.0).

  That's all.

  Thanks to all for looking into it.

• vCenter Server

  In case the server vCenter Server has encountered a problem and needs to re-setup of vCenter, what happens to what follows? They will always work?

  1. high availability

  2 DRS (automatic)

  3. distributed switch connectivity

  4 vSphere replication

  5. Advanced vSphere of data protection

  6 site Recovery Manager

  7 cluster VSAN

  During the time where the vCenter server is unavailable.

  1. high availability - Yes, but the management of Cluster HA is possible only when your vCenter gets online

  2 DRS (automatic) - No.

  3. distributed communication switch connectivity - Yes, the VMs will not face questions, data flow is managed completely by ESXi hosts, but your DVS control plan is not available to change the Setup in it.

  4 vSphere replication - work should, don't know if.

  5 vSphere Data Protection advanced - should work, not too sure.

  6 site Recovery Manager - no.

  7 cluster VSAN - Yes, but the handling of the VSAN that we are using vSphere Web Client is going to be affected.

  and if you need to re - install server vCenter completely. so in this case, you need to take action based on how you re - install your vCenter. For example, if you have fresh installation complete you vCenter server then you need to start building your vCenter Server inventory and take steps to add your ESXi hosts in this new inventory.

• vCenter Server 5.5 requires a reboot

  Hi all

  We need to restart vCenter Server 5.5, and it is running on a physical server and also hosting DB SQL on the same physical server.

  Please let us know what precautions to take before restarting the vCenter server.

  Kind regards

  Ajay

  You can restart the vCenter server as you would any other server system.

  Once the server is online. Verify SQL service, vCenter, all are running.

  As you run SQL locally, then it would be preferable to set the delayed start for vCenter server service and vCenter management services.

  While the SQL service start first, then the vCenter services.

  as usual, you can take backup of SQL DB or windows system state backup, but this is not a sine qua non for vCenter reboot.

• vCenter Server Component install hangs on the installation directory services

  Hello

  I'm on a 64-bit OS of Windows 2008. I update vCenter 5.5 Update 2 and 5.5 updated 3d.  I can install the SSO, WebClient and Inventory Service very well without any problems.  I get to the vCenter server component and it hangs on "Install Directory Services".  I checked the vminst.log and I get:

  "Try to start ["C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe"/c start /w C:\Windows\system32\ocsetup.exe DirectoryServices-ADAM/passive /norestart].

  
  

  I Googled that and of course a dozen connections to users having problems with installing the server vCenter on Windows 2012R2 lack the ocsetup.exe. As I said, I'm still on Win2008.  I have not ran sfc/scannow - no chance.  I tried to copy the ocsetup.exe from a Win2008 well-known to vCenter box - same thing.  Tried different accounts thinking I have a bad profile - no luck.  Anyone have a similar problem?
  

  well, too bad.  I guess I wasn't be patient.  This time I let it "hang" and it finally finished after almost an hour.  At least see the progress bar move would have been useful.

• How to allocate disk space for vCenter server logs

  Hello

  I plan to level 4.1 to 5.5 U2d vCenter on the customer site. One of the conditions set out in the vSphere upgrade guide is:

  "In vCenter Server 5.x, the default size for vCenter Server connects is larger than in vCenter Server 4.x. make sure that the disk space allocated for the log folder is sufficient for this increase 450MB."

  My question is how to allocate disk space for the log file and where can I find the disk space allotted to file papers to vCenter 4.1 existing?

  Just see the free space on the partition where the vCenter server logs are stored. If it is insufficient, increase the size of the virtual disk and then increase the file system to the guest OS.

• Update/migration - vCenter Server 5.0 on windows-> vCenter Server Applicance 6.0.0 U2?

  Hello, I'm trying to upgrade vSphere for a customer of 5.0 to 6.0.0 U2. I don't foresee any problems with the upgrade of the host, but I'm having a terrible time to vCenter Server upgraded. SSL problems, inventory Service won't start/db issues, etc. This is a very simple configuration with only two hosts, a DS3524 for the shared storage and a vCenter server running on a windows virtual machine. I am simply considering implementation installation vCenter's existing disposal and replacement with a new device. What, exactly, would I lose, do this? vMotion, HA and DRS is put to the top, but nothing fancy or automated.

  Thanks in advance.

  -arthur

  Because your environment is small, I think that a better option is really build a new vCenter from scratch and then guests are leaving the former vCenter to the new... of course, you will lose all historical data (statistics, task, events) of the old host and you will need to re - create clusters on the new vCenter configurations.

  Here is a KB showing how to move an ESXi to one vCenter to another: VMware KB: move a managed ESX ESXi host to a vCenter Server to a different Server vCenter
