  Ciao,.

  vcenter he having in con virtuale db remote mssql (sempre su VM) ho sempre fatto gli convenctions di windows sul vCenter Server doing place prima snapshot uno, poi e riavvio, verification che sia tutto ok tramite windows update it controllo del vCenter Service status (the icona con lo stetoscopio verde) snapshot rimozione poi. Sempre tutto liscio m'immagino mia sia corretta would quindi fits.

  E' a po' più quando vuole aggiornare vm complex con db server for it, perche quando if production questa it servizio vCenter sull'altra Può avere problemi.

  A better procedure migliore sia che feeling:

  • airfare snapshot con della VM MSSQL
  • Spegnere con VM it vCenter Server e gli altri servizi (es SSO)
  • Update Windows riavvio e sulla VM MSSQL
  • riaccensione VM con vCenter & C
  • test
  • rimozione instantly

• Best practices for vCenter 5.1 with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2

  I am looking for a best practices or really any documentation on configuring vCenter 5.1 with a SQL Server 2008 R2 database. I see that SQL Server 2008 R2 is supported, but that's all. Any help is appreciated.

  Unless you have a huge (and I mean huge) environment, the vCenter database in general is not that big of a deal or go-getter and was apparently not deemed worthy for some secret magic tips because of this.

  Standard SQL "best practices" and observe the standard installation documentation when deployment vCenter and you should be good to go.

  Some documents on the vCenter more in-depth database are here:

  I was wondering if there is best practice documentation a SQL server 2008 vCenter 4.1 databases.  I am also looking to see if VMware provides a list of best practices SQL database maintenance or if they recommend suite Microsoft Best practice for SQL database maintenance.

• Best practices Upgrade Path - Server 3 to 5?

  Hello

  I am trying a migration and upgrade of a server in the Profile Manager. I currently run an older mac mini Server 10.9.5 and Server 3 with a vast installation of Profile Manager. I recently successfully migrated the server itself out of the old mac mini on a Xserve end 2009 of cloning the drive. Still of double controls everything, but it seems that the transition between the mini and the Xserve was successful and everything works as it should (just with improved performance).

  My main question is now that I want to get this software-wise at day and pass to the Server 5 and 10.11. I see a lot of documentation (still officially Apple) best practices for the upgrade of the Server 3 to 4 and Yosemite, but can't find much on the Server 5 and El captain, a fortiori from 3 to 5. I understand that I'll probably have to buy.app even once and that's fine... but should I be this staging with 10.9 to 10.10 and Server 4... Make sure that all is well... and the jump off 10.11 and Server 5... Or is it 'safe' (or ok) to jump 3 to 5 Server (and 10.9.5 to 10.11.x)? Obviously, the AppStore is pleased to make the jump from 10.9 to 10.11, but once again, looking for best practices here.

  I will of course ensure that all backups are up-to-date and make another clone just before any which way that take... but I was wondering if someone has made the leap from 3-5... and had things (like the Profile Manager) still work correctly on the other side?

  Thanks for any info and/or management.

  In your post I keep the Mini running Server 3, El Capitan and Server 5 install the Xserve and walk through setting up Server 5 by hand. Things that need to be 'migrated' as Open directory must be handled by exporting the mini and reimport on Xserve.

  According to my experience, OS X Server facilities that were "migrated" always seem to end up with esoteric problems that are difficult to correct, and it's easier to adopt the procedure above that to lose one day try.

  YMMV

• Using VCenter server NTP ok?

  We have two hosts, each running 2 VMs Windows 2008. For security reasons, the hosts are on a separate VLAN management that does not have internet access. I advanced and configure NTP on the domain controller VM, for all virtual machines have the correct time. But I really wish that guests have time just too so that timestamps in the newspapers are relevant. I have install the VCenter server (Win2008) to act as an NTP server, and I tested it with my laptop. This works. I told guests to get their time from the VCenter server, because it is the only machine that accesses to the guest VLAN.

  My question - is this a good practice? It seems that everyone gives their guests internet access, but it's just another door that you have to keep in my humble OPINION.

  I forgot to add - the VCenter is the installer has a NTP client to get his time on the internet.

  If you have setup the vCenter correctly in the NTP server (you have done - you have tested) I don't see a problem with that. Most people use either:

  • Public NTP servers, which can work very well, when managed / firewall
  • Internal NTP servers
  • Dedicated time devices

  So, no, I don't see a problem here, and if it works for you, it is a good practice. It's also nice to see that you think safety (by not giving guests direct access to a public NTP server) in production environments (?).

• Best database for vCenter Server 4

  I was wondering what would be the best recommendation for vCenter database server SQL 2005 Enterprise or Standard 64-bit or 32 or 64-bit SQL 2008 Standard or Enterprise. I am trying to build a benefits and disadvantages. I have the database compatibility matrix, but I wondered about the characteristics that could give vCenter that it may not have the capacity. SQL 2008 gives any advantage that 2005 is not that someone has seen or knows. I just want to understand the best database to go with any information about this would be very useful to make my decision. I have difficulties to find advantages and disadvantages to decide what data to go with vCenter

  Hello

  in my opinion, it depends on your deployment, at the present time that I deployed SQL Server 2008 and use with my VCenter 4 so far it was good my environment is relatively low 88 VMs, it's the configuration I use:

  SQL Server 2008 SP1 STD x 64

  Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 x 64 STD

  I did not notice my old previous deployment if performance:

  SQL Server 2005 STD x 86 SP3

  Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 STD x 86

  back then my environment was still 35 VMs

  Kind regards

• Best practices using clusters to create the queue/notifier/bundles?

  I'm in a block diagram, a queue, the notifier and several instances of cluster of bundle

  that all use the same data structure.   There is a typedef of cluster for the data structure.

  Of course, each of these objects (define the queue, set notifier, bundle)

  you want to know how do you define the cluster.

  What is considered best practices?

  (1) create a dummy instance of the cluster across data structure

  definition is necessary (and hide all on the public Service)

  (2) create only one instance and son at all places, it is necessary

  But there is no stream on this thread: it's only the cluster * definition *.

  which is used, so this seems to clutter the comic.

  (3) create only one instance of the cluster control and use local variables

  everywhere else the definition of cluster is required.  It's _value_ is never

  assigned or given read-so no problem with race conditions.

  (4) another way?

  If you were to clean up someone else's code, how do you expect

  See this Treaty?

  It occurred to me during this writing that here where I

  "unbundle...... code bundle" I could wire the original beam to the

  the two "unbundle" and "bundle" - but that would be too complicated

  and the size of the comics with useless thread?

  Thank you and best regards,

  -- J.

  Hi Jeff,

  I think that this question is about "sharing" the typedef and not how share data (?)  If the cluster control is registered as a typedef (or a strict typedef) but NOT SIMPLY as a CONTROL, then when a Diagram-constant of the typedef is created, it will be updated when you update the .ctl typedef!  (and there is no FP control to hide )  Of course if the typdef is already available "close" if necessary, you will be able to use instead - save a spacer of diagram.

  See you soon.

• When I installed the web client vsphere using vcenter server iso, encounted an error that the vcenter server signon administrateu use name and password is invalid

  VCenter server is version 5.1 and this server is a member of the working group.

  It comes to my administrator:

  

  So, I used ISO server vcenter and installed web client pulg-in vsphere, it prompted:

  I've used many ways, but failed.

  usernme:admin@system-domain,

  so, I do not know how to solve, and I only know this administrator password.

  I'm not vCenter sign the only to have another admin, please help.

  

  and another question: how install and configure the data via the vsphere 5.1 customer protection, vsphere isn't vsphere web client.

  You must provide credentials for the user admin@system-domain.

• How start/use vCenter Server?

  Hi guys, first I want to apologize to post an easy question to most of you, but it seems that could not answer this question with most of our staff here. For starters, I installed a vCenter Server 4.0 on a Windows XP Pro 32 Bit. The installation goes smoothly using the default SQL database that provides VMware. However after you have installed the server vCenter, we could not find anywhere! We tried to find it in all programs & gt; & gt; VMware & gt; & gt; & lt; And nothing! & gt;! If I'm not mistaken there must be an executable file as the vSphere Client shortcut located in the same directory?

  So far, we have concluded that the vCenter Server is installed in the computer as we gazed at the Add/Remove program list and found the vCenter Server installed! We also enabled vCenter Server Services but still nothing. We find the vCenter Server in the wrong direction or we should access the vCenter Server via a web browser? Any solutions would be appreciated.

  VMthinker wrote:

  UH thanks for your reply but I'm abit still confuse as I just want to know how to start the vCenter Server?

  The method is similar to the start of the vSphere client whereby you just double click the shortcut icon?

  vCenter runs like a bouquet of services. The installation created these services, to 'autostart' and began to their. Because they are defined in the autostart, they become active whenever the system is booted.

  I have already installed the server vCenter Server if the host of the vCenter server would be the same IP as the server ESXi?

  No, of course not. vCenter runs on a separate host Windows. The vCenter server IP address must be unique within the subnet IP used as each host must have a unique IP address.

  Even once, the vClient dowhnload, beginning as you start Word (or Openoffice), enter hostr of the vCenter server's NetBIOS name or its IP address as the destination to connect to and a combination of DOMAIN\username of a user who belongs to the vCenter server's local administrator group.

• Manage an ESXi host using vCenter Server?

  I understand it is possible and requires of the specific licenses for ESXi hosts, even if I find information on the VMWare site a bit confused as to what I need exactly. We have-

  1 License Server Standard 4 x vCenter

  4 x vSphere Enterprise license 4 (who manage our ESX 4 hosts this site)

  3 (and soon 4) remote sites that have the same server ESXi

  I would like to be able to manage ESXi host using vCenter as well, is this possible with what we have? If this isn't the case, can someone direct me as to what it takes?

  Thank you

  You need the standard by CPU socket for each host license to add to vCenter.

  You can always create a separate environment and get the Essentials Bundle (up to 3 guests max) for $500:

  So you should have 2 vCenter servers.

• Best practices using vWorkspace User Management or group policy?

  What is considered to allow faster connections: setting options in the vWorksapce of management of user environment or by using Group Policy to apply settings?

  When environment vWorkspace user settings apply to what is group policy? Before or after?

  Hi John,.

  I think it depends on what you're trying to reach. It may also depend on if you have users outside of your virtual desktop environment, if you do, then group policy may be the best meet the needs of all your users.

  I've seen good results with combined required Windows and metaprofiles vWorkspace profiles.

  Regarding the second question, yet once it depends on the GPO but vWorkspace profile settings apply to log on.

  I hope this helps.

  Thanks, Sam
