Best way to get vCenter Server VM

I would like to spend our vCenter server from one physical machine to a virtual machine.

What is the best way to go about this?

The current Server vCenter running Server 2003 R2 Standard x 64 Edition with SP2.

I want to move it to a virtual machine running Server 2008 R2.

I don't have something special, installed with the server vCenter Server. Running Essentials Plus licensing.

2 host ESX 4.1 with one on the way. New host will be ESXi 4.1 update 1.

Thanks in advance.

  • Best way to get the content of the 1 page in a lot?

    Hi everyone - I just wanted to check with experts on the best way to get information from 1 html page.  For example, I have a page that shows every 1 '' Ribbons that we have in stock to be used on sandals, belts, bags, etc. dog collars;  (http://elizab.com/eb-1-inchribbons.html) I can do an iframe to pull this html page 1 to all others?  What is the best way to do it?

    Basically I just have to update only one page html (tapes 1 ") and then it is good on all other pages, instead of having me to go through and to update every page that uses ribbons 1" :-)

    I'm not sure what is always taken in charge and what is not recommended on this!

    Thank you-

    Use an SSI. Server Side includes. It's better than an iframe. Google for server-side includes.

    Usually, I use php for inclusions on server side, but your server must support php. If not, you can use .shtml server-side includes.

    You need only to update and download only one file when you want to make changes. So on what page/s you have included the SSI these pages updated as well.

    Although I am a little confused because your field of design takes a page in its entirety. How do you intend to include all of the information on other pages without doubt that contain other information as well?

    I guess that if you only have a small area in which to display all the different designs on your pages, then an iframe is probably the best solution for your because you can define its dimensions.

    Personally I would get really "upset" if I have to keep scrolling left and right and top and bottom, then maybe if you go the route iframe you can arrange at least all the vertical stripes so we don't have to scroll up and down or break designs down into smaller categories to its more manageable for the end user.

  • ESXi installation before vCenter Server?  How can I get vCenter Server on a virtual machine on ESXi servers?

    My plan for a new vSphere Essentials Plus 5.5 U2a installation is to have the vCenter Server on a virtual machine on the servers of the host on which is installed ESXi.  However, all the installation instructions I found indicate the user to first install the vCenter Server.  How can I get vCenter Server on a virtual machine on ESXi servers?

    Thank you for your help.

    Hi munkyman welcome to communities.

    After you have installed your first ESXi host, open a browser and go to https://your-ESXi-ip-or-FQDN

    You can download the vSphere Client here. It is a windows application that you can install on your desktop. It is often referred to as the "c# Client vSphere" in communities and blog posts, because it is a new implemented in the vCenter Server Web client.

    But for the beginning, install the vSphere Windows Client. You can then launch it and connect directly to your ESXi host. Here you can create your first virtual machine, which can be the VM vCenter (installation of Windows or device, that is you).

    You can use the web client or connect to the Server with the client c# vSphere vCenter VCenter runs.

    What is the best way to get a SVG file generated from After Effects?

    Is there a script to do this? I use the SVG file directly in my work. I did research online, but find that it has no native support of EI to achieve.

    I found some scripts online, but they convert output Adobe AE to the JSON file. Is there something similar available for the SVG file?

  • What is the best way to get a comp from AE 2014 to Flash Professional CC?

    I created a training video for 10 minutes for a customer who wants this video for an interactive flash presentation now. Now that the XFL export is no longer an option for AE, what is the best way to get all of the animations in Flash without having to rebuild the entire project?

    The XFL format was not much more than what I mean. The files are huge and for a project that I built in AE by using export, time would have been better spent just making the whole project in Flash.

    In addition, if you are only working in Flash, you can create projects that work on mobile devices and use HTML 5 instead of the traditional Flash Player. And in my never humble opinion the SWF format is dead.

  • What is the best way to move another server Vcenter Server?

    Hello

    We have 3 nodes VMWARE running with VSpere 4.0.0 and a Vcenter Server 4.0.0. The server running the server Vcenter on disorders gives and must be replaced. What is the best way to move the VCenter server on the new server and keep all the settings?

    And is it possible to update at the same time to VCenter Server 4.0.1?

    Thank you

    Marcel

    There is no problem, I also think that it is the best way if you do not have a large environment - usually takes less time :-). Remove first the hosts of the other vcenter - this will make the vcenter agent to be uninstalled from the ESXs.

  • What is the best way to get a customized version # from an ESXi host?

    Each quarter, we generate a sequence of updates (including patches and security scripts) which are performed manually on our 5.0 ESXi hosts. I don't have an internet connection and so I have to do it this way.  I would like to be able to identify the last quarterly update that has been run on the vCenter servers and/or Client VI.

    Right now, I think adding the quarter, example 1 Q 13 on the DCUI message, then help PowerCLI, vCenter to retrieve the message DCUI, crawled and paste the quarter in the field host Annotations on vCenter.

    Kind of ugly, but I cannot find a cool way to get data like this outside of the host.  I don't want to rely on my user manually set to nothing, for example the field of Annotations on vCenter that is also subject to errors.

    I really want something that can also be seen on the VI Client, too, as the annotations are only on vCenter.

    I have ideas about the best approach to tackle this problem.

    Thank you

    Not sure if this is the best way, but that's what I ended up doing.   It feels like there should be a better way.

    I've updated my quarterly script to add the version number at the bottom of the file, / etc/vmware/welcome, whenever it is run on an ESXi host (e.g. myScript version: v1.0 Date: 04June2013).  This file appears under the banner DCUI.

    Then, I wrote a script powerCLI to roughly the following:

    foreach ($vmHostObj in Get-VMHost-name *) {}

    # Get the full message of DCUI in/etc/vmware/welcome

    $msgObj = echo $vmHostObj | Get-VMHostAdvancedConfiguration-name Annotations.WelcomeMessage

    # Convert a hash of a string table welcome message

    $msgTxt = echo $msgObj.Item ("Annotations.WelcomeMessage")

    # find the clue for the string containing my script information, which is at the end of the welcome message.

    # This is important because the substring below function will extract everything after the index.

    $idx = $msgTxt.IndexOf ("version myScript :")

    If ($idx - gt 0) {}

    $label = $msgTxt.Substring ($idx)

    Set Annotation - remarks on the entity $vmHostObj - CustomAttribute - value $label

    }

    }

    This replaces the Notes field for each host, one day I can go back and make it more user-friendly where it replaces the version leaving the rest of the field notes intact.

  • best way to get XP for vmware fusion

    I have vmware fusion 3.1.3 on macbook pro. I currently have a virtual machine, I installed win 2K Server. too old, too big. I need to get xp and do an installation. I tried to make a snapshot of the existing machine, but seemed to make mistake on the OEM version and wants me register and pay as the new. I have a win 7 pro machine, I guess I could try to make instant, but I was wondering if v3.1.3 will even run that? So, what is the best way to way (see below) to get a XP installation for my installation of vmware fusion run? Fiscally constrained, won't be upgrading to fusion or pay retail for XP anytime soon.

    It will be VERY difficult to get copies of legitimate retail XP more.  Most of the things on eBay is also OEM, which is not available for use of the VM.

    Do not forget that you must purchase a license of said too (the version on the existing machine is probably an OEM version too).

    Why not just buy Win7 on amazon or costco?

    The only other option is a sort of MSDN license, but these licenses cannot be used for production purposes.
