• vCenter server VM backup

  Hello!

  We are looking for a simple way to save (and possibly restore) our vCenter server, running inside a virtual machine with the database on the same VM. A simple image backup comes to mind. We use Atempo Time Navigator, but the story may be the same for most backup solutions.  There are still a few issues:

  • Do all service vCenter and/or the need for DB to be stopped during the backup of the image, or is properly handled by VSS?  This includes not only the file and database freeze, but also release the transaction logs after backup successful, for example.
  • In case things have to be stopped during the backup, and especially during the restoration, while the vCenter server is stopped for obvious reasons, can I still run backup/restore operations?

  Thank you!

  Mathias

  I can't guarantee the VSS interaction with the SQL Express database, but you should be fine. I used various products of backup to create a backup image of the vCenter Server VM with SQL Express and never had any problems with it. Yet once, make sure you just test carefully.

• para procedure configures the antes of comenzar con instalacion del servidor vCenter Server database

  Hola y buenos dias, mi esta pregunta diriguida a como is has crear para vcenter en UN server remote sql database.

  Read el documento.

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1029061

  Pone in el apartado 8:

  Configure base datos antes comenzar con instalacion del servidor vCenter Server, a less than that to use the version of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express that viene con el instalador.
  
  Note: Los scripts for creating schema steps in the Microsoft SQL Server documentation y Oracle son opcionales y estan conducted a administradores experimentados of data bases. El instalador vCenter Server crea el scheme automatically if no anteriormente exists.
  
  

  • Microsoft SQL database
    
    • Use a script para crear UN database o local remota con una administrator cuenta Escalin base data. Optionally, the database can be created using SQL Server Management Studio from the same el formed as en version of vCenter Server 2.5
      
    • Configure una conexion ODBC type SQL Server. Cuando is instala el sistema vCenter Server, will you can set una conexion con una database SQL Server
      
    • Configure the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC para TCP/IP protocol. If el servidor SQL Server TCP/IP has not disabled y los puertos dinamicos no estan configurados, the JDBC connection permanent cerrada. Esto causa las and statistics of vCenter Server dejen funcionar.
      

  Como no voy a usar the espress, tengo that create db manualmente, habla los scripts? not los encuentro in el DMC, por lo tanto donde puedo encontrarlos having into account that voy a instalar Vcenter 4.1U1 en UN 2008 R2 y el otro 2008R2 is sql y su version are sql2008R2

• VCenter Server backup

  What is the appropriate procedure for the vCenter Server backup?  What files need to be saved?  How often should they be saved?  I want to make sure that the structure of folders, an existing on the records and all the rest can be recovered in case of failure.

  Thank you

  Yes agree and peace of mind that even the operating system is in backup. However, defining a backup via sql management studio task is pretty simple and you can find a lot of tutorial in google.

• Restore backups of data to different vcenter server recovery

  Hello

  We have separated closed vCenter in our society in different places, I'm just starting to use Vmware Data Recovery instead of VCB for backups. Is it possible to restore the backup of Vmware Data Recovery of Virtual Machines to a different vCenter Server?

  If you can, you could point me to documentation that shows how?

  Thank you

  Glenn

  You can create another device VDR with the same data from disk (or NAS share).

  Then connect to this device (you can also use the VDR plugin when you are connected to a host, not only when you are connected to vCenter) and wait until it import the backup catalog.

• Backup of VM best practices using vCenter Server

  Hi all

  I currently plan to backup my virtual machine in VMWare ESXi 4, I have

  installed the trial vCenter Server 4.0 administration server.

  My 2 x ESXi 4 server connected to a San and sharing a single LUN so

  in this case, I would like to create another LUN in the SAN to

  Hold the Backed up SAN. (see attachment)

  and I'm still not sure about which license should I get for this question? between essential or Foundation

  My goal is to be able to do:

  1 backup and restore using VCB

  2. ease of management of VM creation and the cloned VM management, models and migration (moving between SAN and SATA Local data store) offline.

  HA and VMotion is not important at the moment.

  any suggestions and comments will be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Kind regards

  There is no way to "upgrade to ESX ESXi" without a complete reinstallation of the product.  If you really want instead of ESXi ESX, you should be able to just install ESX, ESXi over and tell him to keep all existing partitions intact VMFS.  You will lose all your settings (vSwitches, etc.), but you shouldn't lose all virtual machines.  In fact if the ESX host is SAN attached so you can just blow everything about ESXi installation and install ESX and reattach the VMFS LUNS to the new ESX host.  You shouldn't lose anything it. Make sure that the ESX host is not attached to the SAN when installing ESX (unplug the cable) than who has been known to cause problems.

  You will get no reduction in functionality if you stay with ESXi.  Once an appropriate license, ESX and ESXi work exactly the same.  The main differences lie in the way you manage servers with the absence of a Service Console on ESXi.  Given that VMware intends to get rid of the Service Console completely in future versions, it might be logical just to go in that direction now and stay with ESXi.

  Hola Panel

  Sin verlo, as between el host donde tienes you diria Máquina y el VC in algun momento is han echo a lio pequeno y an el sigue pensando VC results is esta ejecutando aun algo sober esa virtual machine y el otro pues esta "awaiting algo" also, there is pueden meet asi UN rato o toda life...

  In algun caso me ha pasado algo parecido y he salido al paso, although reiniciando el servicio del VC (a poco radical perhaps) o well parando is extracting the service pass del servidor than aloja the virtual machine that you da problemas:

  Para pararlo:

  1. service mgmt-vmware stop

  Para arrancarlo una vez as el VC to haya dado cuenta of Quebec el hosts ha perdido conexion (is sombrean in el VC el host y las maquinas than aloja)

  1. service mgmt-vmware start

  Con esto el VC da por con finished error todas las tasks that're esten ejecutando contra ese host is sus maquinas office y el host pues tambien than digamos is "despierta".

  After esto in las veces than he that reach hasta ahi el problema ha tenido notice there he could con operar Máquina usually.

  Pues nada is our contaras.

• 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.

• 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 restart - can I just it reboot?

  My SAN works somehow, but I can't access my client vsphere vcenter server through.the.  I get the error: an unknown connection error has occurred, (the request has failed because of a logon failure.  Also, I can not connect via veeam.  Everything else seems to work fine.  VCenter is a virtual machine in my SAN environment.  Can - I just restart the vcenter Server?  Or should I stop all the rest down before doing this?

  Thanks in advance for the help.

  Welcome to the community,

  the virtual machines running on the host computers are not vcenter Server, and at least that actions such as migration, backups or other things are underway which require vCenter Server, you should have no problem restarting it.

  • vCenter Server shows the VMS as being disconnected then connected.

  Hello

  Resolution

  Cause

  This problem can occur if an ESX host's IP address is changed while being managed by vCenter Server.

  Check the cause

  To check the cause of the problem:

  1. Log in as root to the ESX host using a SSH client.
  1. In the file etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg, find the IP address of the host. The entry looks like:

     
     10.21.48.121
     

     Note: for more information about editing the files, see installation in VMware ESX configuration files (1017022).

  Troubleshooting

  If the IP address is incorrect, perform the following steps in order. If the operation does not resolve the problem, continue to the next step. Don't skip a step.

  1. Disconnect and then reconnect the host:
  1. Right click on the ESX host in vCenter Server and click Disconnect.
  1. Reconnect the ESX host in vCenter Server.
  1. Restart the VirtualCenter agent on the ESX host:
  1. Stop the service of vpxa with the command:

     # service vmware-vpxa stop

  1. Open the /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg file in a text editor and correct the IP address of the ESX host.
  1. Start the service of vpxa with the command:

     # service vmware-vpxa start

     Note: for VMware ESXi, you may have to restart all the management agents. For more information, see restart the agents on an ESX or ESXi Server (1003490) management .

  1. Rebuild the VirtualCenter agent on the ESX host configuration file:

     Attention: this step removes all the Statistics counters historical host and the virtual machine. If VMware ESX host is running in virtual machines that starts in a permitted CVS environment, you maybe won't be able to add the host without stopping the virtual machines first.

  1. Right click on the ESX host in vCenter Server and click Disconnect.
  1. Remove the ESX host disconnected from vCenter Server.
  1. Backup the file vpxa.cfg with the command:

     # mv /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.oldcfg

  1. Add the ESX host disconnected to the server vCenter inventory.
  1. Run the following command to view the contents of /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg and confirm that the host IP address is correct:

     # cat /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg
