Aggiornamento vCenter 4-> 5: upgrade o no?
Ciao, prima o poi dovro'usare start "he salto" partendo dal vCenter ovviamente (ora in versione con 4.1u1 db sql server2008, tutti virtuali su resident knew win2008 64-bit). Option 1 e quella di aggiornamento fare "in place". Pero mi sta stem the possibility/opportunity di utilizzare if another sql server (version stessa) by sleep he db, quindi mi è venuta voglia di fare una sommergibili ex novo di vCenter 5 partendo da UN db pulito.
VCenter ditch 5 Una volta che it pronto disconnetterei gli host dal vecchio uno ad uno per agganciarli AI nuovi cluster sul nuovo vCenter. Questa procedure abbiamo seguita nel passaggio da vcenter4.1 con sqlexpress went ibm_db e current no, sono stati problemi born disservizi.
Too che dei dati historians not interested, che sono solo 2 cluster i con mi 6 host che don't say, mi faccio del male o invece evito I sia pure minimi rischi che a Può comportare aggiornamento, e faccio bene a centred con una sommergibili e UN db 'puliti "?
Grazie
P.S.: Upgrade degli host if in un secondo momento lo.
Ciao,.
very ripartenza pulita ha una anche I suoi vantaggi, primo fra tutti avere un vCenter 'vergine' e senza morning Giro, anche solo da L2 proved, microsoft, software di terze advantage installation patch bordo, etc..
Come hai rilevato you, I dati di performance historians (my affiliate, Reed journal e allarmi...) sound the elemento main che if racheyl, not sottovaluterei anche dei vari cluster configurazioni. Vero che con 6 host in proper cluster, credo non sia lunghissimo fourth configurazioni sulla nuova struttura.
Not if anche UN discorso di operating system below: molte installazioni di vSphere 4.1, pure having gia the versione a 64 bits, trovo ancora con giro Windows 2003 R2 x 64, a ' occasione e magari per mettere vCenter knew 2008R2, che gli not male fa.
Ah, affiliate Reed all the other di accesso a vCenter, Reed is known a di cluster what care find risen profilazioni di mi Super.
Better due soluzioni che sono equivalenti, e non vedo nel centred problemi da capo.
Ciao,.

Nexus 1000 - vCenter 5.5 upgrade to 6.0 - official steps?
I tried to find appropriate measures to upgrade to vCenter 5.5 to 6.0, but so far have not found a good guide.
We are already in N1KV 5.2 (1) SV3 (1.5 b) due to security bugs, but now we need to plan the upgrade to vCenter 6.0
Here is my plan:
1 put level vCenter and VUM - is there a necessary step to reconnect N1K SVS to vCenter after the upgrade?
2 uninstall ESXI 5.5 VEM
3 upgrade ESXi to 6.0
4. install VEM
Does this sound correct? Or y at - it a document that talks about this?
I looked at the utility to upgrade to http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/Website/datacenter/nexus1000/up...
However, it assumes you are a N1K upgrade while upgrading vcenter.
We only make the upgrade to vCenter.
Hi Kris,
I don't know if you received aid or not, it has been a while, so I apologize for the delay in the communication.
An excellent guide to reference is bound below if you go to the section "Installation and upgrade of VMware".
This will give you many details step by step on how to get your results. If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

Guy.
I have two servers vCenter running (5.1) and 5.1U1 facility in bound mode. I plan to upgrade them both to 5.5 b and want to make sure that I understand the process regarding the related modes. I feel I will break the connection related modes before starting and then separately upgrade each instance of vCenter. I must point out anything during the upgrade of the main site? I guess I will have the opportunity during the installation of the secondary site to indicate that it will be a linked mode connection? Or this connection comes after the two instances have been implemented. Thank you guys.
This fence, my response to remove the link between VC and then perform upgrades using multiple single sign - on bodies in different locations and after that the two sites are upgraded to link them returns with the configuration utility.

Post Vcenter 5.0 upgrade installation of SQL
We are looking to perform a new installation of Vcenter Server 5.0. Now we have only 3 guests and a few VM so we will install SQL 2008 Express to us operational. Our question is weather or not, it is possible to upgrade SQL after installation. We are looking at a few options as SQL goes, but we will probably install an instance on a separate hardware and pointing the Vcenter on this one. We want to just make sure that this is possible.
Yes, you can detach the database and then move elsewhere, or take a backup copy of the database and restore it elsewhere. Then, point the ODBC connection in vCenter for the new home of the database.
See you soon.

Hello
I was just wondering on the regular upgrade procedure for vCenter 5.0.0 vCenter 5.0 U1. Is the only way to make this update to download the complete installation package of 2 GB and that run against my current 5.0 install? Or is there a little update for those who are already at version 5.0 on their vCenter?
Did I miss something in the Update Manager?
I didn't find anything particularly shouting only package updates in the forums or downloads section.
Thanks in advance for any help.
HR
Unfortunately, vCenter Server for Windows is available as a complete package, so you will need to download the large installation package.

ESXi 4.0 Update 2 guests can present a purple screen after vCenter Server is upgraded to 5.0
The KB article http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & externalId = 2007269 said that with the 4.1 update 2, you will discover a purple screen after the upgrade of the server vCenter.
Does anyone know if all 4.1 < U3 are also affected? What about 4.0? I need to know if I should plan a lot of upgrades to the host before our upgrade to vCenter.
Thank you!
from my understanding, it's just bound to 4.0U2, however, you can provide feedback to the KB article.

Hi all
I have a few questions about the 4.1 upgrade vCenter I know someone out there can answer. Our environment is vCentre 4.0 on 32-bit Windows 2003 Server physical and we hope him virtualize vCentre 4.1 on Windows 2008 64 bit. Databases (VC and VUM) are located on clustered SQL servers.
1. What is the impact to use a new server name and IP address to migrate VC4.1 to? According to this article and the comment below, VMware recommend that you use the same name and intellectual property.
Update the configuration files if you re changing IP address or host name of your vCenter server information. You must manually change the configuration files.
Note: VMware recommends to keep the same IP address and host name information to facilitate the migration.
2 use the DataMigration to get the current configuration of the vCentre, i.e. Pools of resources, reservations, limitations, dvSwitch, blah blah, the new server? If not, then it smells a lot migration as an upgrade...
Ideally, I would like to keep the physical server around as an option to restore if necessary.
Anyone got any ideas on that?
See you soon
> Data bases (VC and VUM) are located on clustered SQL servers.
So, not really a problem.
(1) make backup DB
(2) services of vCenter stop, set it to "manual start".
(3) backup SSL keys
(4) remove the server vCenter in the field
5) stop vcenter server
(7) make clean install Windows 64 bits on the new server, use the same IP address and name in which case the old server vCenter
(8) restore SSL keys from a backup
(9) make 2 connections, ODBC, 64 bit for vCenter and 32 bit for MUV
(10) install vCenter, point to existing database
You old vCenter as a restoration, but you need to restore the old DB sauvegardΘ first vCenter.

vCenter 4.1 upgrade perf graphic strangeness, vmhba, personalized calendar
Late last night, that I upgraded from vCenter 4.0 to 4.1. My hosts are 3.5 130756 (I know, old, vc, update is first before going to bed and breakfast of course)
So now my perf cards Act strangely. To start my disk performance graphics do not show the vmhba name, it's just a column blank. Oh, there is a separation of color and the number of entries is OK, just no names to associate. It's the same as I watch a host or watch a virtual machine.
The other thing strange is that when I go in a custom time period and let set 1 hour when the graph rises, the last time the first 5 minutes are not displayed and the last 10 minutes do it either. Now, when the graph starts on the left side it starts at a value such as 15%, or whatever. But for the last 10 minutes, just before it stops, all values to zero.
I think what may happened has something weird on the process I used. I did the upgrade like me who has full on the server SQL - but rights once the upgrade was done, I went from the user for the service account that was used previously. It was used before the upgrade without problem. When I installed first vc4 I did all the steps as service the first time - the DBA account had granted the necessary rights for the service account to create everything but then stripped these rights down there for just the db_reader and writer roles. I went from back and gave him db_owner just to cover it all.
This could be something crazy to the fact I'm not on vSphere 4.x yet? It would be unfortunate if this is the case, but in this case I can live with that for this short period of time before I update the hosts.
The only errors/warnings I get in the vpxd.log are:
SSLStreamImpl::DoServerHandshake (000000000d687f40) SSL_accept failed. Dumping error SSL queue:
error: 14094416:SSL routines: SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 unknown alert certificate
SSL handshake failed to flow TCPStreamWin32 (socket = TCP(fd=3880) local = 10.1.21.49:443, peer = 10.1.21.49:52611), error = Exception of SSL: error: 14094416:SSL routines: SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 unknown alert certificate
Everything else is a task to start host synchronization task end etc - of the normal stuff.
I have the same problem, here is the response from VMware:
The problem with the loss of some data of performance in vc 4.1 is a known issue.
At present, there is no date for a solution, so if the customer is strongly
According to these statistics, it should consider returning to his previous vc
installation.
Is the bug number: PR599953

Hello
I'm relatively new to virtualization and therefore ask for basic assistance. We have a vSphere 4.1 system installed at the customer. All guests are on ESXi 4.1 and vCenter 4.1 is located on one of the virtual machines on a host. We will add five new guests with 5.5 ESXi. Since vCenter 4.1 does not support the ESXi 5.5, we'll upgrade vCenter to 5.5. Questions I have now:
1 being existing vCenter 4.1 on host with ESXi 4.1, there will be no problem in upgrading vCenter to 5.5?
2 will be the vCenter 5.5 support ESXi 4.1 upgrade hosts?
3. is there a documented procedure for a gradual upgrade from vCenter Server?
4. any other recommendation?
Thank you
Kind regards
coepengineer
Please visit: http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-552-upgrade-guide.pdf
Page 71, you get not documented to go on upgrading vCenter version 5.0 or earlier.
also look at the following guide for your reference, someone managed to create a document with instructions step by step what you plan to do. Just make sure you try to map your scenario with that documented and see if it helps.
1 being existing vCenter 4.1 on host with ESXi 4.1, there will be no problem in upgrading vCenter to 5.5?
Double required physical check and compatibilities of component software, if your environment is to have sufficient resources to support vCenter 5.5 and if you make your OS, DB etc compatible with vCenter 5.5 as part of your business step by step, the upgrade should not do in the face of questions.
2 will be the vCenter 5.5 support ESXi 4.1 upgrade hosts?
Should not be big hassle management guests old version with the new version of vCenter server. You also plan to upgrade hosts to version 5.5?

Upgrade vCenter application V6 at V6U1
How do you improve a V6.0 for V6U1 device? All upgrade documents on that I fall talk about upgrading to vCenter 5.5.

vCenter 6.0 5.5 upgrade installation simple and external PSC supported?
Hello people,
Everything I have read so far indicates that an upgrade to vCenter 5.5 simple installation on R2 W2K12 6.0 only supports a PSC facility incorporated during the upgrade.
See page 25 of the Upgrade Guide.
Notice also mentioned it here:
Page 8 of the deployment guide mentions the same, embedded installation of MCS during the upgrade of a simple installation.
https://www.VMware.com/files/PDF/Techpaper/VMware-vCenter-Server6-deployment-guide.PDF
Just to confirm, is there a process taken support to upgrade a simple installation of vCenter 5.5 to 6.0 and the creation of a PSC external?
Thank you

- Where can I find detailed documentation on the upgrade process and a list of questions that I have to answer?
- During the update the ESXi hosts will be light as well as the VM guest.
- Should I try to power VMs off as much as I can?
- I need to do anything on the side SQL?
- Should I take a snapshot and/or make a (Veeam) backup the vCenter VM in the case where something goes wrong with the update?
- Given a problem occurs during the update, can I just go back to the snapshot?
- Is there anything else I can do to ensure a successful update?

- Yes, vCenter upgrade will not affect ESXi or VM
- Should I try to power VMs off as much as I can?
- Not required
- I need to do anything on the side SQL?
- Make sure that you have a FULL backup. Rest will take care of vCenter 5.5 installation
- Should I take a snapshot and/or make a (Veeam) backup the vCenter VM in the case where something goes wrong with the update?
- It is recommended to have snapshot
- Given a problem occurs during the update, can I just go back to the snapshot?
- Yes, you can
- Is there anything else I can do to ensure a successful update?
- Read the guide to upgrade twice
- Make sure that you write down the name of the ESXi server, which holds your vCenter VM
- Make sure that you have the root password for the name of the ESXi server, which holds your vCenter VM

vCenter 5.1 to 5.5 upgrade question
It is perhaps a silly question, but dvSwitches makes me nervous. In my test vCenter 5.5 environment, when I update an esxi 5.1 to 5.5, I improve something related to dvSwitches on the host itself. I don't know if it caused no disruption or not, since I had no VM on this host.
Assuming for the moment, vCenter is upgraded to 5.5 and my esxi hosts are always in 5.1, will I run into any downtime upgrades vCenter?
Upgrade of a distributed switch is an operation without interruption: upgrade a vSphere Distributed Switch to a Version later than with the Web Client vSphere
You can upgrade your vCenter to 5.5 without impact to your 5.1 ESXi hosts.
