• Move the VCenter Server?

  Our VMWare cluster was originally setup with a virtual machine running VCenter Server.  We have now setup a physical machine to run VCenter, but I don't know how to say the cluster to point to the new vCenter server.  I have installed VCenter and works on the new physical server and it can connect to the server VCenter existing without problem.  I didn't chance to find documentation on how to do it.

  Can someone help me?

• What is the best way to move the data from the app and Server data structures?

  Hi guys,.
  
  I developed my application locally with Apex 4.2 and Oracle 11 g XE on Windows 7. Not far away, it is time to move the application to a server Oracle Apex. I guess that Exim is the way to go app. But what about the APA tables and data (tables/as 'customer' and 'account' created specially for the application)? I've been using a modeling tool, so I can run a DDL script to create the database server data structures. What is the best way to move the application data on the server? Is it possible to move the structures and data in a single process?
  
  Thank you

  There is probably another way to get here, but in Developer SQL, on the navigation tree, expand objects until your table, right-click, and then click EXPORT... you will see all the options. It is a tedious process and it sucks IMO, but yes, it works. This is zero especially because 1) it's a table at a time, 2) If your data model is robust and has constraints and sequences and triggers, then you will need to disable all for the insert and we hope you can re-enable constraints, etc. without hitch (good luck, unless you have only a handful of tables)

  I prefer to use the oracle EXP command-line to export an entire schema, then the server target, I use IMP to import the schema. In this way, it is almost true. This makes the dirty life if you develop multiple applications in a single schema, and I felt pain - however - it is much easier to drop the tables and other objects is to create them! (thus, even if the process of EXP/IMP moved more than you wanted to "move".. blow everything you don't want on the target after the fact...)

  You can use method datapump oracle too.

  If not, what can be done, IF you have access to both servers of your instance of SQL developer (or if you can tnsping both already from the command line, you can use SQL * MORE), is to run a script that will identify the objects of your applications apex (usually by the prefix for the names of objects, such as % EBA_PROJ_ etc.) and do all the manual work for you. I've created a script that does just that so that I can pass data from dev to prod servers on a dblink. It is difficult because of the order that must be executed to disable constraints and then turn it back on and of course, more complicated if don't always precede you ALL your "objects demand '... (tables, views, triggers, sequences, functions, procs, indexes, etc.)

• The vCenter server's FULL domain name.

  People,

  Using vSphere SDK Web services, is it possible to get the domain name FULL of the vCenter server that I have connected to? For example, foo - test.domain.com is the name of a field FULL of my RESUME, but I can connect to the Victoria Cross with SDK giving the name as foo-test. Once connected, is their any property by which I can get the FQDN of my CV, IE like foo - test.domain.com.

  Help in this regard is highly appreciated.

  Many thanks in advance,

  -Mani.

  (1) this property reflects maybe just how the guestOS has been set up if she had the FULL domain name or not, I'm not 100% sure but I always put my host names a FQDN. You can watch the underlying guestOS to see how it is set up compared to others which show the COMPLETE domain name

  (2) your original question was on vCenter FQDN, this property as mentioned is only for vCEnter and not for ESX (i). If you need to search for this information, you must watch the HostSystem that represents your ESX or ESXi host. You'll want to take a look at the HostDnsConfig property to find the short hostname under the host name and the domain under the domain name and that will provide COMPLETE domain name.

  I think the best way to interrogate this information actually uses your DNS infrastructure, it is what it is. Looks like not all your environments are configured using domain name FULL which in my books, is not a best practice. If this is the case, what data are only as good as the original configuration in order to make virtual infrastructure out of the image and simply use DNS to query for it. It is trivial to extract the IP addresses of your vCenter and the host ESX (i), so you can use it as a base to make your look up.

  I also recommend to take a look at the API reference documentation, it is the best place to find this information and using the search feature is also very useful to fine-tune the properties that interest you - http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk41pubs/ApiReference/index.html

  I hope this makes sense

• vCenter install fails when you try to install the vcenter Server to the node of the PSC in HA mode

  Hi all

  We have two controllers on duty platform build in HA mode. We are trying to install the vCenter server and we get the error message below.

  Has anyone in the community runs vcenter server 6 HA with PSC inspectors sitting behind the f5 load balancer? Please share your thoughts if you have seen a similar problem.

  Thank you.

  Hi all

  We are able to go beyond the question of the installation. We did the capture of packets on both ends and discover that the reset was issued the installer by the licensing vCenter service running on the PSC.

  We have also created firewall rules more 18 altogether since the server vcenter for our f5 load balancing program, then 6 VIP of the F5 on the two controllers on duty Platform.

  I hope this helps other people who sought to install PSC in HA mode.

• Cannot connect to the vcenter until 10 minutes after the vcenter server computer starts

  I get the unable to connect to remote server message in vsphere client when I try to connect the server vcenter. However if I wait more than 10 minutes, I can properly connect to the vcenter server.

  Is there something wrong with it?

  And I wonder if the competent services to process the requests of connection on the vcenter server are not started immediately from the start?

  Where is installed your database? On the same box of vCenter server? If so, change the other boot option that delayed may not work because your vCenter will try to start before the database is online.

• Locking ESXi 4.1 mode access confirmation no access to the vCenter Server

  Hello

  ESXi 4.1.  I see options in conflict with access to a crowd that had lockdown normal mode activated via a server vCenter VM on a host in the cluster.  The vCenter server that sits on one of the hosts in the cluster lockeddown then became inaccessible or unresponsive connectivity wise.  So no connectivity between vCenter VM or VM vCenter and hosts.  Is someone can confirm if you can connect to this host lockedown by DCUI with root and disable lockdown configuration to allow the vSphere client to then connect to the host with root and troubleshoot the server vCenter VM?

  I read in some messages that this is only possible if the vCenter VM is in place and the communication to the host.  I also read that it is possible no matter what the State of the vCenter server once Total lockdown (disabling DCUI) is not enabled.

  I have this reference of the 'The new lock in ESXi 4.1 Mode' blog http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2010/09/the-new-lockdown-mode-in-esxi-41.html

  "With active locking Mode, the only direct access to the host that remains open is through the DCUI. This allows to perform administrative tasks limited outside vCenter Server, such as restarting the management agents and the display of the log files. In addition, you can also disable Mode of Lockdown since the DCUI. This can be useful if vCenter Server is down or unavailable, and you want to return to a direct management of the host. Normally, without locking Mode, any user to the Administrator role can open a session in the DCUI.  However, in lock Mode, the root password is necessary; no other user can connect.

  Can anyone confirm.

  Any other person who may not be sure these questions, I can confirm that with root credentials, you can connect to the host directly and disable the lock mode regardless of the availability of vCenter.  Only if the Total lock mode turned on, or should I say DCUI is disabled, then you have no choice but to go through vCenter or reinstall and reconfigure the network.  VM would be always available if local or have to be reassembled and re inventoried etc.

• Best way to move a virtual machine to new hardware

  I have a SBS 2011 VMS under ESXi 5.  The material is not enough and performance are slowed down.  I want to spend the SBS 2011 VMS to new hardware.  After install ESXi on the new hardware, which is the best way to move the virtual machine.  It's big enough, and it is a production server - I'm looking for fast and efficient.  What are the most common problems when moving from a virtual computer to new hardware?  Thank you!

  A virtual machine is encapsulated in a set of files, making it easy to carry; You can copy the files from the virtual machine using WinSCP or any other program to the destination host. Register the vmx on the new host and turn on the virtual machine. You may also look @ of Veeam FastSCP for this purpose. I have not had the chance to use it yet, but it's free and seems very popular with the community:
