• Update ESX4 to ESX5i cluster and licensing questions

  Hello

  I have 2 groups:

  ESX 4 (former cluster) and ESX5i (new cluster), the material is quite similar

  I would like to upgrade (or fresh install) the ESX 4 to ESX5i cluster

  In is it permissible? I have just ESX5i licenses assigned to the new cluster, should I use for the old cluster upgrade? Should I buy new licenses for the new cluster of ESX5i?

  Last question: is it better an upgrade or a new installation?

  Thank you

  You can consider deleting access to shared storage that you build a fresh or upgrade because it eliminates the risk of overwriting your data warehouses.

• We have SQL Server 2005 cluster (3 node cluster), and if we improve this nodes to 2008 R2, the databases associated with the named instance can stay to the version of SQL Server 2005?

  original title: SQL Server 2008

  We have SQL Server 2005 cluster (3 node cluster) and if we improve this nodes to 2008 R2, can the databases associated with the named instance remain to the version of SQL Server 2005, I seem to disagree with this notion, but still need to validation of the pro.

  One way I can think of to achieve this scenario changes the compatibility level to SQL Server 2005 when the node has been upgraded to SQL Server 2008, so we can upgrade databases to SQL 2008 as and when the vendors provide support for this version.

• VCS - C cluster and Cluster VCS-E with Movi 4.6 register and call interruption

  Hi all

  We have VCS - C cluster and Cluster VCS-E with Movi 4.6 register and call interruptions. The point is, if the appeal or record comes from the Internet. We have the sip proxy model vcse--> vcs - c record. The strange point is, if run us in mode not cluster with only 1 vcs - c, then the call works very well or so over 1 minute. We also have findme. The call internal registered locally (VCSC) works as well) the case appears if the active VCS - c cluster and the movi has been listed in the subzone of the crossing of VCS - c
  VCS versions are x.7.2.2 and tms 14.2.2
  Thx for your comments

  Hi friend

  The issue you are experiencing is a known limit of Jabber of telepresence. This happens when registration of the device is transmitted by proxy to the VCS control, where VCS are clusters. Probably what is happening:

  -Jabber client records through the fast track to a control in the area of the highway crossing.

  -L' check requires authentication

  -When the customer registers again every minute (registration of SIP (re) process normal), the registration request is sent to one of the other controls in the cluster.

  -The customer then completes the current record and authenticates back to the other control

  -The client (Jabber) will tear down the ongoing call when there is re - authenticate registration

  This problem is resolved in the current version for Jabber for iPad. The current version of Jabber for TelePresence still has this problem. Default: CSCud17952

  Another user has reported the same issue. See the following:

• PowerCLI Script required to identify all clusters in a data center and all hosts within each cluster and calculate it using cpu and ram, avg, min, and max.

  Hi all

  I'm new to powercli and try to create a script to list all clusters in a data center and all hosts in a cluster and calculate min, max and avg cpu usage and ram by the host and cluster. So far, I have tried the below but I can't publish the results of my script.

  {
  $allvms = @)
  $allhosts = @)
  $hosts = get-VMHost
  $vms = get - Vm

  {foreach ($vms in $hosts)
  $hoststat = "" | Select the host name, MemMax, MemAvg, MemMin, CPUMax, CPUAvg, CPUMin
  $hoststat. Host name = $vmHost.name
  
  $statcpu = get-Stat-entity ($vmHost) - start (get-date). AddDays(-30)-Finish (Get-Date) - MaxSamples 10000 - stat cpu.usage.average

  For PowerShell v2, you can use

  $vms = get - VM

  $stat = 'cpu.usage.average ','mem.usage.average '.

  $start = (get-Date). AddDays(-31)

• Create the new host to the Cluster and Cluster

  Hi team,

  Have we not document or steps to create the new Cluster and add host to cluster?

  In addition, what are the post configuration that must be done on the ESX host? As switch, Nic, the data store Configuration?

  Should we add the storage front of cluster before adding the host?

  A process document or a step will be really useful.

  We plan to automate the process and any entry is really useful.

  Thanks and greetings

  For starters, it is User Guide PowerCLI, that comes with the installation of PowerCLI.

  And there are a lot of messages and blog discussions in this community that meet some or all of your questions.

  See for example establishment of data centres, Clusters and adding ESXi host VMware vCenter 5.x with PowerCLI

  Storage is assigned to ESXi hosts and for use in a clustered environment, you will probably want a shared storage.

  Maybe you need to split issues separate, more specific issues.

  This would make it easier to respond in this community.

• Renaming of data center, Cluster and Datastore in Evo's default object names

  Hello

  The data center, Cluster and vSAN Datastore objects in my Evo device newly installed all default to the label of 'MARVIN-... ». Is it safe to rename the appropriate labels to my environment, such as a location for my data center object? I suspect that it is not serious because the underlying UID will not change, but am looking for confirmation of a person who did successfully in a laboratory or production environment and who also managed to apply the patches of Evo subsequently.

  Thanks in advance.

  Yes, it is safe to rename these object types - Evo uses values of managed reference numbers (moref) object for the object of theses types - so that they are safe rename...

  The thing to keep away the trade of system generated for VMotion, VSAN, Marvin and management network. By all means, feel free to add other VM exchanges...

• By creating a cloned connection, invite to what cluster and cluster datastore

  Hello

  I worked on this script to create a clone with some customization. All good here, but something basic to get a popupbox asking me to deploy to which cluster? and that DTX200 of cluster (and therefore the list of people for me) I can't understand how to do this?

  In the script I can code in hard the $cluster and $datastoreclustername but I would like a prompt for this

  This is the upper part of the script that I currently have are:

  Connect-VIServer "vcenter.domain"
  $sourceVM = Get-VM "test-replica" | Get-View 
  
  $agentTotal = 10
  $totalXPCount = (Get-VM -Name test* | Measure-Object).Count
  
  if($totalXPCount -lt $agentTotal){
      for($adt = $totalXPCount + 1; $adt -le $agentTotal; $adt++){
             
          $cloneName = "test1{0:0##}" -f ($adt+13)
          $cloneFolder = $sourceVM.parent
          $cluster = Read-Host "Enter vCenter Cluster: "
          #$cluster = "cluster-3"
          $datastoreclustername = "cluster-3-bronze"
  
           foreach ($vm in $cloneName){
   
          $cloneSpec = new-object Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineCloneSpec
          $cloneSpec.Snapshot = $sourceVM.Snapshot.CurrentSnapshot
  
          $cloneSpec.Location = new-object Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec
          $cloneSpec.Location.DiskMoveType = [Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateDiskMoveOptions]::createNewChildDiskBacking
          $cloneSpec.Location.Host = (Get-Cluster -Name $cluster).MoRef
          $cloneSpec.Location.Datastore = (Get-DatastoreCluster -Name    $datastoreclustername).Extensiondata.MoRef
  

  Oh how can I get the fancy of the PowerCli colors?

  The following PowerCLI code will give you a list of cluster names which you can choose one by the number:

  $Cluster = Get-Cluster
  $CLuster |
  ForEach-Object -begin {$i = 0} -process {
    "$i. $($Cluster[$i].Name)"
    $i++
  }
  $ClusterNumber = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter cluster number"
  $Cluster[$ClusterNumber]
  

  You can use the same technique for data warehouses.

• List of Cluster and the virtual machines running on this group

  Hello

  I am looking for a way to discover all of the virtual machines that belong to a cluster. In other words, I want a list that maps a cluster to all virtual machines running on it.

  In the documentation of the API, I find that "ClousterComputeResouce"has a managed object to "HostSystem" reference. "

  And "HostSystem" is a reference to managed object to the 'VirtualMachine'.

  So I can do it like this: ClusterComputeResource-> ManagedObjectRefence-> ManagedObjectRefence (VirtualMachine)-> whatever_properties_I_need_from_the_VM (HostSystem).

  However, this would cause a lot of ' Vim::get_views"calls within a"foreach"loop." It would be a deterrent to performance as the vCetner in question has ~ 50 clusters and has ~ 3500 running VMs.

  I think this was going to literally kill the VirtualCenter with so many API calls.

  My Question: is there an effective way to find Cluster and their respective VMs in vSphere SDK Perl.

  In vSphere client, we get the tab 'Virtual Machine' when we click on the Cluster and you can see all the virtual machines that belong to this cluster. So I hope that there must be an easier way.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You don't need the host_view for this action. Why don't you use begin_entity for views of the vm?

  my $cluster = 'cluster1. "

  My $cluster_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type-online 'ClusterComputeResource',

  filter => {"name"-online qr / ^ $cluster / I});
  {if ($cluster_view)}
  My $vm_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine',

  begin_entity => $cluster_view.

  Properties-online ['name']);
  foreach {$vm_ref(@$vm_views) my
  print $vm_ref--> name. » \n » ;
  }
  }

  Hope that helps!
