Best practice of pointing the finger a new vCenter LM?

What is the best way to point a different vCenter Lab Manager 4? Our Lab Manager is running in our laboratory vC and we would like it to run in our vC Prod.

What gets moved or show first? Do I have to move the hosts and then point LM for the new vCenter? Or should I point to the new VirtualCenter and then hover over the hosts?

Thanks in advance.

I think that the process that I follow is this.  I'm assuming that LM 4.x.

Preparation:

  1. Check that your new version of LM and vCenter are compatible.

  2. Plan a for about 2 to 4 hours maintenance window and notify users.

  3. Credentials document ESX root like
    you will need these.  You vCenter LM admin credentials as well.

  4. Document LM physical network to host ESX vSwitch connections.  You will need to manually reconnect those.

  5. Document LM dedicated vCenter configuration of Resource Pool that you will need to recreate and reconnect these.

  6. Organization of document mappings to Resource Pool that you will need to manually reconnect these institutions.

Performance:

  1. Disable all user accounts or cutting access so no one can connect to LM.

  2. Perform a test deploy it to a known good Configuration and a model - it's your control test.

  3. UN-deploy configurations and virtual machines inside LM.  This must be cancelled all managed LM VMs in vCenter.  Double check to compensate for any orphans well safe and clean.

  4. Disable and remove all LM Resource Pools.

  5. Disable and remove all of LM ESX hosts.

  6. You can use this opportunity to carry out any maintenance or updates on your ESX host, or not.  Sometimes less variable are better.

  7. Hover over your ESX hosts to the new instance of vCenter.  Constitute a required cluster or Resource Pools there.

  8. Configure LM to the new instance of vCenter.

  9. Fix LM of new objects of Pool of resources on the new instance of vCenter.  This could be a host, Cluster, or a real vCenter Resource Pool.

  10. Previous step should prepare all your LM managed ESX hosts, assuming you have entered the right credentials.  Check this.

  11. Manually reconnect your physical network of LM to vSwitch ESX host connections.

  12. Manually reconfigure your LM organization to the Resource Pool mappings.

  13. At this stage, your organization LM Datastore and media couplings must be reconnected, check.

  14. Perform a test to deploy on the good known Configuration and the model used in step 2 - it should work.

  15. Reactivate the accounts of users and/or access.

  16. Email clear at all.

  17. Beer.

  • Best practices for handling the elements and symbols (including preloading)

    I'm learning to animate edges and I've not seen enough animations of how this is handled in general and I searched the forum and have not found answer either.

    If you have many different elements and symbols for a project, what is the best practice to have appear them, disappear, etc. on the timeline? I ask this not only from a point of view based on performance, but also keeping in mind the idea of prestressing. This is a 2 part question:

    Part 1: Using elements and symbols later in the timeline:

    Given that the work is always imported directly to step in a status of "always you", should we place visibility TURNED off on each element until we need?

    or must they be opacity 0 until I need them?

    or should they be on visibility hidden until I need them?

    Which one is the best option if you want only the element / visible until at the latest symbol in the timeline? Is how important it?

    Part 2: Effect when the page is loaded

    The question above have an impact on page loading speed

    or is it something called a preload?

    or do you need to make a special preloader?

    Thanks for the help.

    Hey, snail-

    Good questions!

    Part 1: Using elements and symbols later in the timeline:

    Given that the work is always imported directly to step in a status of "always you", should we place visibility TURNED off on each element until we need?

    or must they be opacity 0 until I need them?

    or should they be on visibility hidden until I need them?

    Which one is the best option if you want only the element / visible until at the latest symbol in the timeline? Is how important it?

    I would recommend that you set your visibility on 'off' instead of simply change the opacity.  I suggest this is that when your visibility is set to off, the points of the object disappear.  If you have any type of interactivity, with the always visible object with an opacity of 0 will interfere with what whether you down in the display order.

    Part 2: Effect when the page is loaded

    The question above have an impact on page loading speed

    or is it something called a preload?

    or do you need to make a special preloader?

    Thanks for the help.

    No, none of this has any impact on the loading of the page.  As you already noticed, all the assets of your project will be load before displaying.  If you don't want a part of your composition to load, you can do what we call a multi-composition project.  There is a sample of the said in the API to animate Edge in the Advanced section and lots of messages in the forums (and the other in the team blog) explaining how to do this.

    Hi people,

    What are the options and best practices for the Logs of the system for all newly improved 5.1u1 ESXi hosts?

    Do I need to have the Syslog server or it can be safely ignored?

    Thank you

    Evening,

    Syslog is preferred, but VMware has provided a collector of syslog on the vcenter installation disc can be installed on any windows host or your vcenter. I can't count the number of times where I had guests CMTF or newspapers lost... Fortunately for the syslog which collects up to the accident.  It is not necessary, but it's really a good idea without any real cost since you can use your vcenter host.

  • best practices for placing the master image

    Im doing some performances / analysis of load tests for the view and im curious about some best practices for the implementation of the image master VM. the question is asked specifically regarding disk i/o and throughput.

    My understanding is that each linked clone still reads master image. So if that is correct, then it seems that you would like the main image to reside in a data store that is located on the same table as the rest of the warehouses of data than the House related clones (and not some lower performing table). The reason why I ask this question, it is that my performance tests is based on some future SSD products. Obviously, the amount of available space on the SSD is limited, but provides immense quantities of e/s (100 k + and higher). But I want to assure you that if, by putting the master image on a data store that is not on the SSD, I am therefore invalidate the IO performance I want high-end SSD.

    This leads to another question, if all the linked clones read from the master image, which is general practices for the number of clones related to deploy by main image before you start to have problems of IO contention against this single master image?

    Thank you!

    -


    Omar Torres, VCP

    This isn't really neccissary. Linked clones are not directly related to the image of the mother. When a desktop pool is created and used one or more data stores Parent is copied in each data store, called a replica. From there, each linked clone is attached to the replica of the parent in its local data store. It is a replica of unmanged and offers the best performance because there is a copy in every store of data including linked gradient.

  • Support/best practices to restore the application of planning between servers

    I have two servers with Hyperion Planning 9.3.1 (prod and dev) I want to copy the application called "BFS" Production of "NewBFS" - Dev server.

    As directed by our consultants, they said to do the following:

    1. backup the repository database that contains the application production BFS
    2 do a restore of the .bak file to "NewBFS" on the dev server database
    3. resync orphaned connections (from sql server connections and database connections)
    4 Ouvrezunesession planning via the default admin user ID
    5. go in the app's settings and change the URL
    6 enter the Shared Services URL
    7 manage the database
    8 check all the boxes and click Refresh
    9 go to SSP and resynchronize the native directory users

    However then try to connect in planning with something other than «admin", we receive an error «user xx is not configured...» »

    From my experience of db user tables are either still referencing production and/or do not have resynced correctly.

    If long story short... I can restore a planning application to another server, and if so what is the supported/best practices?

  • Best practices for upgrading from 2.5u5 to vCenter 4.1

    Hello

    We are currently running a vCenter 2.5 5 update on Windows 2003 32-bit Standard that we need to upgrade to vCenter 4. Unfortunately the latest version 4.1 needs a 64 bit OS...

    What is the best practice to update our vCenter 4.1 and keep all performance data? I suppose we ought to do it in severalsteps or not?

    (1) vCenter 4.0 Update 2 update

    (2) a copy of the updated vCenter database backup

    (3) to perform a new installation of Windows 2008 64-bit

    (4) to perform a new installation of vCenter 4.0 Update 2

    (5) to restore the database

    (6) update for vCenter 4.1

    Is this correct or am I missing something? Is there a more easy/better way?

    Any help appreciated.

    Hello.

    KO 1022104 contains best practices, and the Upgrade Guide is also a great resource to use for this upgrade planning.  Follow the steps in the Upgrade Guide and everything should go smoothly.

    This is a really difficult list of steps, confirmed by the Upgrade Guide:

    01 build of new VMS 64-bit for vCenter

    02. prep new vCenter VM for connectivity / SQL dependencies

    03. backup of the existing database.

    04 data backup current vCenter using Data Migration tool

    05 use the data migration tool to start the setup of the vCenter server and restore the configuration of the server vCenter to the destination machine.

    06 turn off from the old server vCenter.

    07 restore the vCenter Server Configuration and installing vCenter Server on the new server

    08 updated vCenter Server name of Plug-Ins (if the new vCenter has a different name)

    09. test cycle

  • charge battery for the first time and the best practices for maintaining the life of the new PC laptop battery

    Received my first laptop as a gift today (Pavilion touchsmart 15-n287cl).  You need to know 1.  How long to charge it for the first time or first several times; 2 do you need to unload and reload between each use completely and how long should it take to charge an average before being used again.  3. Since no instructions is a good idea to leave it plugged when you use all the time or the battery should be removed to improve the conservation of life?

    Thank you in advance, it has taken a lot of time to migrate from the desktop.  Want it to be a positive experience.

    Hello

    Modern batteries and chargers are now smarter than you.

    1. you can plugin and immediately to use the machine, the machine will stop charge when the battery is fully charged.

    2. No, we don't need to unload completely between uses, then as above. The recommendation is sometimes we run machine on battery until that up to 10%.

    3. when using AC is a way to protect the unit during the failure of current, all of a sudden, leaving battery on laptop.

  • Best practical Question - update the query (see object) based on the drop-down list selection

    I have a question about the most efficient way to perform the following task:

    I create a page that contains several DVT components to display data based on specific requests.  Top of page I am hoping to have a drop down menu (selectOneChoice) that contains dates different and based on what the user selects (i.e. 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, etc.), this will update the query in the view object of some (i.s. WHERE Date = '2011', or WHERE Date = 2013"), and then you view the appropriate data in the DVT.  What is the best way to do this - from a point of view bean managed / page, as well as the View object?  Advice/documentation would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    When you drag the vo executeWithParams one another that will create links for operations such as 'executeWithParams2', 'executeWithParams3 '. On the method that you use to update a view by calling the executeWithParams operation, you call the other operations too.

  • Best practices for storing the material ID

    Hey,.

    I would ask for some suggestions on my problem:

    I have a system in which I use USB-6211 on several computers and it could happen that more than one of them is connected to a single computer, but at the same time as one is used on a computer. I found a way to read the serial number and I can assign this number to a name. However at the time of the design that I don't know the serial numbers, then what would be the best to store?

    I think of a way to store these values somewhere, read it, control devices, if there is no entry, then ask a name store, if found, return the name and get the dev unit identifier selected.  The actual data format is not really serious, it can be a simple table, a list of attributes varying or something else, because a computer no longer of ~ 10 devices listed. The real problem is the place to store them without danger.

    Some users may have administrator rights, then most of them certainly don't have Windows XP, 7, 8 and 10 installed (something I can't really control).

    Thank you

    I was going to recommend an INI file also.

    When you say 'safe' do you mean that there is no permission issues worry?  Or that the users cannot edit it?

    I prefer to use the feature "Get-system directory.

    If you look at the entrance to 'Help' to get the system directory, it shows what permissions and accessibity you can expect any given directory.

    'C:\ProgramData\' is a directory hidden by default and I have found that trying to tell other users how to find a hidden directory to be more harm than what it was worth.

  • Best practices ACL - on the Internet interface

    I have a question relating to the ACL on an interface oriented routers 'Internet '.

    After reading several whitepapers on the subject, an ACL recommended would typically contain the following instructions.

    In addition, the Cisco SDM automatically generates an ACL externally similar face:

    IP extended INBOUND access list

    permit any any icmp echo

    permit any any icmp echo response

    allow all all unreachable icmp

    deny ip 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 everything

    deny ip 172.16.0.0 0.15.255.255 all

    deny ip 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255 everything

    deny ip 127.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 everything

    refuse the host ip 0.0.0.0 everything

    refuse an entire ip

    !

    So my question is...

    What is the point of lines 4-8 during the last line blocking them anyway?

    I understand that when we discover the ACL there's the number of matches by explicit ACL entry, but in terms of blocking, I don't see the advantage.

    Instead, the following ACL would provide the same benefit and be easier to maintain.

    IP extended INBOUND access list

    permit any any icmp echo

    permit any any icmp echo response

    allow all all unreachable icmp

    refuse an entire ip

    !

    Am I missing something obvious?

    Thanks in advance for the help,

    Kind regards.

    Hello Peter,.

    I believe that when people post these examples, they assume you will put additional instructions forward the "deny ip any any" at the end. There are really a few rules that you must use when you create an Internet facing ACL:

    1 deny incoming traffic from your IP addresses registered to prevent identity theft.

    2 refuse incoming Microsoft LAN traffic (port 445, 137-139, etc)-any legitimate Microsoft LAN traffic should be limited to a VPN.

    3 deny traffic from private addresses or null.

    I'm sure that you realize that packages can be made with the ILO established is enabled and use private addresses (broadcast or unicast) or your addresses as a source to create the undesirable traffic or denial of service attacks. That's why these statements are called separately. You would use before the "permit tcp everything (recorded your IP range), set up" statement.

    Your ACL proposed only allows tcp responses to queries generated internally. Unless you really don't want any UDP traffic, you must include a reflexive access list statement to allow the UDP. I hope also that you have a big server log or only a few hosts on your network - check all tcp traffic will take a little space!
