Basic requirements for HA in VSphere 4

Hello

I tried to get HA to work on my two test servers. I used vsphere 4.0

1. creates a domain and DNS on a server stand-alone windows server. Entered into the DNS records for all machines.

2. created 2 virtual hosts with a 2000 windows virtual machine.

3 vcenter installed on a computer separate, created a data store, create a cluster, added the two hosts in the cluster.

I started the virtual machine to windows 2000.

I have a click with the right button on the cluster and configure for HA with most of the default values.

When I remove the cable of the machine with the virtual machine to windows 2000. This vmhost says that the machine is suspended. But the machine switches to the other host. Can I reconnect the cable and 2000 virtual windows machine turns back as if nothing had happened.

According to me, Miss me something? I have installed for the AP to failover vmotion?

Can someone please send the minimum requirements to make this type of recovery using HA? I don't think I need to worry about hardware as modules and maybe of the parameters that are needed to run a basic HA. My books pretty much ignore the steps.

Thank you

Jim

  • What permissions are required for access to VMware Workstation?

    I need to provide access to a few virtual machines in our environment vSphere for a user through VMware Workstation 9.0.2 but questions.

    There are 3 virtual machines in a folder under models and virtual computers that this user needs access base (start, stop, console). I first tried assigning the role of user (sample) of the virtual machine to the user on the folder that contains these VMs (with spread), but trying to access one of them workstation as long as this user, I get the error was refused permission to perform this operation. I even tried to assign the role of administrator for this user on this issue and received the same error.

    Then, I assigned the user (sample) of the virtual machine and then later the role of the administrator directly to the virtual machines, but when you try to connect through my computer I get this error with or the other role (I have attached the log file, it refers):

    VMware error 1.PNG

    After clicking on OK, workstation breaks down, and then I get this error:

    VMware error 2.PNG

    The only way I could successfully get this user access is by adding the user to the local Administrators group vCenter Server, but after doing this, the user has full access to all virtual machines. I should also mention that Im able to access the virtual machine with the basic functions assigned via vSphere client to web without problem with permissions above affected as this user.

    Does anyone know what is required to provide access by workstation I'm looking for?

    Thank you!

    Figured it out!

    First, for each virtual machine that you want to grant access, to add the user/group with the assigned role, you want to give them. An additional step required for access to the workstation is, for each host you granted access to the virtual machines are on, you must also add the user/group and assign the read-only role, making sure to uncheck propagate to child objects.

    So it's similar to the thread above, but avoids having to explicitly revoke access to each another VM on the host. So now, when I log in as a user with that I was testing, I can connect to vCenter via my computer, only to see the VMs Ive applied custom roles to and, especially, can connect to them without problem!

    Also, it seems that even if work stations invite you to assign read-only permissions to the host is not actually do something.

    Thanks a bunch for all the help everyone... especially ShadyMalatawey. If I would not have seen this prompt in my computer to apply the permission he would have had much more time to understand.

  • Windows Vista home Premium 32 bit SP2: iTunes 10.1: there is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run.

    I worked on it for about 3 days now. It's driving me crazy. I tried everything I could find to try to solve this problem.

    When installing iTunes it stops and a box will then appear to me said "there is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support provider or package. "No error message or anything, that's all I get. When I hit the only button I can hit the OK button, it continues to install QuickTime. Sometimes, it will install the iTunes file and the shortcut, but the shortcut does never work and the iTunes file is always empty. I have download the installer directly from Apple.com and save to the desktop, a new copy after each test (just in case).

    Here is a list of what I've tried:

    Yes, I am the administrator of the computer with admin abilities, yes I checked run this program as an administrator. I also made sure to stop all this as possible could interfere with the instillation, including my anti virus and what not even before I tried a clean boot.

    Is there anything else I can try?

    ~ Thank you

    I don't know whether or not the original poster solved their problem.

    See if it works for you.

    Hello CBhaskar,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    If the information of Gokul has not helped to solve your problem, then I suggest that you use the Windows Installer Cleanup tool.
    There may be a corrupt installation, you need to delete everything first.
    Click here for a link to download the utility from Microsoft.

    You can use the utility to remove installation information for programs that were installed by using Windows Installer. Remember that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall on.

    If please reply back and let us know if this helps solve your problem or if you still need help.

  • Is a new virtual Center required for deployment of Horizon view 6 / licensing issues

    Hey all,.

    Just curious to know if it is required or existing best practice to install a separate virtual Center for your environment from view of the Horizon, or if it is correct to attach it in your VC.

    Also, reading that I've done, it seems that when you buy Horizon display 6 advances you get ESXi licenses as well?  Is it true.

    When it comes to the Windows 7 license you ave h to buy anything for your VDI VMware or do you just an open license / SA with Microsoft for Windows 7/8

    I think the projections and business decisions will do that for you.   Some circles have separate teams who manage desktop and server infrastructure.  In these scenarios, you can have a dedicated instance for VDI and the office team.     In other environments, you can be a small shop where a couple of technicians do everything.   In this environment, it can be allowed to have a single vCenter.     I still hate the TI depends on the answers, but in this case it really depends on your environment and how you want to manage.

    2: based on the comparison on the site, all the editions come with vSphere and vCenter for desktop.    I read you right, but I would check with a specialist VMware licenses.

    3: Just that you have the licenses required in view and vSphere VMware wants.  They do not all control over your Microsoft licenses.

  • Why MS SQL server is required for installing vcenter?

    Why MS SQL server is required for installing vcenter?

    You need a database to contain the vCenter Server information. It may be SQL/Oracle. By default, an installation of SQL Express happens if you do not want to install a complete SQL Server blown - it will have maximum but limits work for smaller infrastructure.

    Exact wording of the documentation:

    vCenter Server and vCenter Update Manager require databases to store and organize the data from the server.

    Each instance of vCenter server must have its own database. vCenter Server instances cannot share the same database schema. Several databases of vCenter Server can reside on the same database server, or they can be split between multiple database servers. Databases Oracle, who have the notion of schema objects, you can run several unique vCenter Server instances in a database server if you are the owner of a different pattern for each instance of vCenter server, or use a server of Oracle database dedicated for each instance of vCenter server.

    You don't need to install a new server database for the vCenter Server installation to work. During installation, you can point the vCenter Server system for the supported existing databases. vCenter Server supports IBM DB2, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server databases. vCenter Update Manager supports Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server databases. For a list of supported database server versions, see the vSphere compatibility tables tohttp://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.pdf on the VMware vSphere documentation Web site.

    Repair Apple Software Update since the programs & features Panel configuration and then try again.

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    The more information box has direct links with the current and recent if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with third-party software.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.
