• Passing of TMS physical server in VM with external SQL Server

  What we have:

  13.2 physical TMS with TMSPE running on the Windows Server 2003 Enterprise with SQL server 2005.

  Application of TMS, tmsng, and TMSPE all located on the same server.

  What we wanted to do:

  Move the 13.2 TMS with TMSPE to 2008 r2 VM with tmsng located on the separate server from SQL 2008 VM (external).

  First attempt; the physcial and TMS VM servers with the same host name, the different IP addresses.

  (Physical server removed from the field after copying tmsng db and taken offline - changed then to the TMS VM server host name).

  13.2 of TMS and TMSPE installed smoothly on the virtual machine, we copied then the db tmsng existing since the physical server on the SQL 2008 VM server.

  Everything seemed fine, except that we could not clearly one of the TMS tickets tell us different MST services were not running, this despite the Court and restaring every MSDS services several times.

  TMPSE diagnosis showed all green, but the VCS - C told us a different story; with all of the connections; telephone directories and devices, users will fail with an http 400 error.

  At this stage our window of opportunity was closing quickly, we had to go back and bring back the old physical server, on the line.

  During testing, we used different for the physical host names and servers of MV, but we found TMS2 tickets thrown indicating different services of MST did not run on TMS1, so we thought we would try with identical host names for TMS1 and TMS2.

  There are some dependencies that we missed?

  Any advice on how to achieve better would be much appreciated.

  see you soon

  Hello

  I have seen this problem several times before and his tickets basically generation because it has a double set of services listed in under TMS Server (below), the following list Maintenance TMSNG db when you move it, it shows that there are for example 1 TMS Live Racing Department and one stop of service TMS Live where the next generates this ticket. Simply click the clear list to solve the problem.

  Regarding the TMSPE, have you moved the db TMSPE more on the new server or you let it run to the old?

  At all the configurations to correct in terms of user name / etc in the field configuration settings?

  Best regards

• vCenter Appliance physical server, 3 guests, small environment size

  Hi all.

  I'm trying to move a vCenter device to a physical server.  This is a small facility with only 3 guests.  I'm a bit new to VMware.  If I put in place, single sign - on again and add the hosts once again, this isn't a problem.  I did not put groups in place and yet it is a new installation. In fact, there is a cluster but DRS and HA is lit.  I want to remove the cluster but not the hosts.  We have a small Windows 2008 R2 AD domain.  The vCenter Server is member of the domain, as are ESXi hosts.  This is version 5.5.

  Is it OK if I simply remove the vCenter device by stopping and removing disk and inventory, then install the physical server and add hosts, delete the server appliance of AD and add the new physical server to AD and set up SSO again on the new server - that will work?  Did I meet problems questions?

  I would point out that the reason behind my fact that must implement vSA on the 3 hosts, and from what I read, I can't launch the vCenter on a VSA host device, and 3 guests must be guests of VSA if each should share its space with the other 2. I also read that I can't add VMS to guests until the VSA cluster has been created.  So I need to ditch the current cluster and take the guests out of it.  That a host is always under the existing cluster.  I'm hoping that by performing these steps above that I can add my hosts to the new server physical vCenter once it's running and just delete the old a.  If this is not the way forward on this issue, if you please point me in the right direction and you will be worth your weight in gold as far as I'm concerned.

  Thank you very much in advance,

  Sam

  Just a quick note on the ASB. You can read the new features of vSphere Storage Appliance version 5.1, which explains the added features, including a brownfield facility.

• VMware converter restarts the physical server after conversion!

  Hello

  This can already city, but I can't find any discussion about it. I do some V2Vs using the converter Vmware 4.1.0

  The problem I have is that once the converter is completed, it randomly restarts the physical server, I converted (does not seem to happen to any of them). Of course, I don't want the physical server switch on again as changes could be made to it. I don't see any option in the converter to tell him not to restart or even stop.  It's a VtoV.  He is a SQL Server. Windows 2003 64-bit.

  I try without shutting down the server at all because it's a production server.  I don't have a Vcenter (to copy to an esxi to an another esxi).

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  For sure in the Converter 4 there is an option for the source stop server after migration.

  Below you will find a screen of VMware converter 5 with the option you are looking for. It is available at the end of the migration Assistant in OPTION --> option advance section

• Emulation of physical server in a VM environment

  Suppose you have a virtual machine that you want to imitate as much as possible the environment of a physical server in which all the resources of the physical server's CPU are dedicated to this OS.  The physical server that you emulate has 2 cores.  The ESX (i) server on which the virtual computer runs has 8 cores.  You always want to allow other VMS running on your host ESX (i).  But you want to ensure that, for this one, it gets way too CPU resources close as possible to what he would if it was not virtualized test VM.

  What is the best way to achieve this?  For example,.

  -Give the virtual machine a pool of resources that matches the physical server that you emulate.  For example, if the physical server had 2 hearts at @GHz each, then give the virtual machine a reserve of 4 GHz.  Don't set the processor affinity and let the ESX to plan other virtual machines to use your test VMs carrots.  Let your use VM to test hearts on the ESX(I) host as long as he gets his reserve of 4 GHz.

  -Give the above mentioned VM booking resources like the processor affinity as game on the virtual machine to its 2 hearts and all the virtual machines to ensure that no other virtual machines do not use 2 carrots that is using your VM test.  This is based on the theory, as in a non-virtualized environment, the operating system would have exclusive access to the nuclei, so to emulate this environment VM as exclusive access to these carrots without other virtual machines being planned in this regard.  However, because of ESX (i) to use of worlds and other differences between planning on physical servers and virtualized server affinity can really be not help not to emulate.

  I would be interested to get comments on this scenario.  The goal is to reproduce in close to the environiment in which the applications inside the BONE meet as much as possible as they would on a physical machine to use the processor as possible.

  Hmm,

  I might be inclined to actually include the reservation, as you never know if other virtual machines in your environment can increase their demands at the time you are testing and create contention scenarios.

  I also, consider reserving memory - if you don't not VMware will be very happy to 'manage' memory for you, you potentially slow down

• Physical server VM disaster recovery

  Hello

  Today, I meet some customers who would ask the site of recovery after a disaster. They would like to use all physical servers to the recovering site.

  Here's the scenario. In the production site, they will have 3 host to ESXi 4.1, with BL460G6 (the Server Blade HP), 2 Proc Intel X 5600 series, 48 GB RAM. Storage use is NetApp with iSCSI (NETAPP FAS2040) options.

  All their (converted from physical) virtual computers will consume about 4.2 TB, for most of the Linux server, multiple windows, according to. The growth of data every day is 1.6 GB. They will invest the same storage (FAS2040) on the site of DRC. Will of replication occurs every 15 minutes. They had a very good bandwidth

  Now they're using the standard replication method, they transfer file to the DRC to their server (Linux, replication, automated with script-based) and until now its works very well.

  Because they will migrate to Virtual Server, after all migration, they all want their server used in the DRC Site. My point is to know how to do it. Pouvez VMware replicated on the physical server? They will not invest more than license VMware or upgrading their equipment. They want to use the server as is.

  I thought to use RDM, create a LUN, attached to the virtual machine with the physical/virtual compatibility, then use the NetApp replication method to replicate the DRC site. Then, in the DRC, all the physical server mapped to the same LUN. Restoration, then, just reverse the replication. But then, the implementation will be difficult, because each server has a specific LUN (it had more 20 + server).

  A guy had an idea?

  Thanks for your help.

  From what I understand so far, they virtualized or not their systems and virtual machine files are stored on NetApp storage synced to the DRS!

  In this case, with the environment of virtualization (VMware Essentials) in place at the DRS, they would have only to add the virtual machine to inventory and them lights disaster on the production side. This doesn't mean no reconfiguration of drivers (for the merger to the physical hardware), up to date systems (synchronizes every 15 min.) and very little time to have the environment running on the DRS.

  The advantage of the Essentials package on the free version is management, which equals the production site and the possibility of use for example, backup software, which usually requires a licensed version.

• Hot cloning - let the physical server running then?

  I have a question for the Vmware Converter. If I understand correctly, you can use hot Clone to clone a physical server while it is running. Of course, that seems very well so you don't get no downtime during conversion.

  But, if the reason for this conversion is to migrate from physical to virtual, what happens if the physical server continues to operate after the conversion? Even just a minute can be enough to have changed the original system, perhaps a database or other stuff, that will make the new virtual instance "incorrect."

  So how does this normally? If you want to virtualize a server that has a system that interacts with users either or other servers, how will stop instantly change?

  OK, even if you are in your downtime window it would be preferable to perform the validation of the server application.

  What we normally do, is check the event logs and do well for sure there no new errors that are produce after the p2v (physical 2 virtual), especially application or system related event.  We will also perform a few reboots of the (virtual) system and sometimes we also had to remove some old drivers.  We have sometimes came across problems with NETWORK cards keeping the old ipconfig when migrating.

  When supply us the new VM give us it a whole new value of intellectual property and test it with the other physical system down.  After correct validation go us ahead and leave the virtual running.  We usually have to master the physical machine in the datacenter for about two weeks and then begin the process of decommissioning.

  One thing most definitely, you want to do is make sure to install vmware tools on the virtual server.  I know it's probably obvious, but many people forget.

  Hope this helps,

• 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!

• vCenter installed on a virtual machine and the SQL DB on the physical server?

  All the

  I'll run a VM on vCenter.  A question... It is noticed that the best practice not to have the SQL Databsase(Sql 2005) on the virtual computer

  but the DB on a physical server with an ODBC connection from the virtual machine.  My client will not fail to ask - why, I can't give a clear

  answer to the question.

• Physical server to VPN

  Hello

  I have a general question, I am responding. I currently have an ESX Server to stand alone with a virtual private network on it. The VPN contains 5 Server VM who cannot speak any physical network that I have not connected all physical adapters to her for it. But now I have a physical server outside that can't be virtualized as I need to connect to this VPN. Is this possible? Are there ways to do it through VMotion maybe?

  THX.

  Welcome to the Forums - so if I understand you correctly - you have a self-contained with VM ESX host all connected together on switch internal only and now, you want the 5 to connect to a physical host - there is no way to do it without to connect you your virtual machine to a physical network 5 - you need to sign a physical nic to you vswitch - vmotion will not help in this case because its sole purpose is to move a running virtual machine form an ESX Server to another.

• VMware Converter error conversion physical server running CentOS 4.7

  On the Linux server you are converting.  When the converter reaches step 3 Options display/change the last option is called Helper VM Network.  You can change this option and add an ip address.  The ip address must be on the same network to your default gateway on your Linux server.

• Web server on ESXi terribly slow! same fee install works uber quickly on a single physical server.

  I have created a virtual machine and allocated 4gig of RAM, 2 cpu and no limit on the CPU usage.

  Freshly installed Centos5 and LAMP. Installed joomla with default content.

  Browsing the site is TERRIBLY slow... I'm talking molassas.

  Now, until people start blaming joomla, I had exactly the same fees installed on a physical server with less specs (only 1 GB of ram and 1 cpu) and it is lightning fast.

  Both are on the exact same network. And the ESXi server has only a current PBX VM to run other then the Web server. I have hordes of resources left and available on the ESXi server.

  I can not quite understand what the problem is or could be. She has available resources and doesn't have 1 million waiting to go through the server process. My Network (2) cards are defined in tandum (I guess that the combination of network cards?) this should not be a problem?

  It's just the way the esxi manages the inbound and outbound traffic? Is this normal? The only thing I can reduce to is 1) the esxi way itself works. (2) the esxi way treats my network cards and or traffic

  What are the specifications of the ESX Server - hardware and CPU? Are there other virtual machines running on ESX Server? Have you tried running with one virtual CPU virtual machine?  It is advisable to start with a single vCPU and add vCPUs only if it is necessary, or if you have empirical evidence that it is necessary - it has to do with how the virtual processors are programmed.

• Migrate CUCM, CUP and CUC VMS from the physical server Dell to a UCS

  Hi all

  We have 3 virtual machines from one physical server to Dell, we want to migrate those virtual machines from a server of the UCS.

  Reference Dell physical server:

  Model: PowerEdge M610

  UCS: Version of UCS B200 M4 3.0 (2 c)

  I was wondering if just copy all the files of the virtual machine to another server or there is another procedure to do this... and also we need new licenses of vmware?

  Thank you very much!!

  Kind regards!

  ESXi licenses is up to you, you might have bought it so that the UCS, or buy directly from VMWare, but you need to license.

  As for traffic, if you have vCenter, you can move the virtual machines using it (vMotion and/or Storage vMotion), or if not, you can perform a cold migration.
