Can I download VMware vCenter Chargeback Manager logs to record an overview to analyze manually?
I want to analyze VMware CBM connects using loginsight. Should I implement a syslog server or manually download the insight journal server logs and if we can do what is the procedure for the same?
Log Insight can manage all messages sent via the syslog Protocol. Technically, this means that log Insight focuses on execution logs. That said, you could configure a syslog agent to monitor a directory or a file logs CRB and transmits to the Insight Journal for analysis. Take a look at this post: Agents of Syslog on Linux - SFlanders.net

VMware vCenter Update Manager Client installation fails
I have a system that has been upgraded to ESX 3.5 to vSphere and installed successfully the vSphere Client, can see my hosts and virtual machines without any problem. I install the plugin VM converter, but when I try to install the plugin Update Manager it fails every time.
I'm installing on a 64-bit Windows 7 computer (my laptop is also Win7 64 bit and it installed successfully there). I tried to install the application and get the error message in the Windows application logs:
Product: VMware vCenter Update Manager Client - Setup cannot continue. VMware vSphere Client is not found to be installed on this computer. VMware vCenter Update Manager Client can be installed only on machines where VMware vSphere Client is present.
I've already entered my store of % TEMP % and tried to install just the exe file (VMware - UMClient.exe) and who is not, I copied the extracted files, including all the files .ini, .bmp, .msi and .mst to the root of my C drive and tried installing from there. All this provided the same failure.
During the installation, I get this message first indicating the location of my vSphere Client installation:
When I click on the only 'real' installation option, then spend a few seconds and then I get this message:
Click ok and then get a message saying that the installation has failed.
I managed to do install finally.
The strange solution was that I had to log on as an administrator of my machine and then install the plugin. Even if my account is an administrator account.
Anyway, problem solved, works perfectly and am clean now.

VMware vCenter Lifecycle Manager and vSpehere 4
Hello..
is VMware vCenter Lifecycle Manager compatible with vsphere 4?
Thank you
Hi alancivita,
VMWare Lifecycle Manager 1.1 will support vSphere 4 in so-called "compatibility mode" - which means that only the characteristics of Virtual Center 2.5 will be supported
VSphere 4-specific features are not supported.
Kind regards

Where can I download a LabVIEW GPIB driver for an ANDO AQ6315E optical spectrum analyzer?
Thank you.
The Instrument Driver Network has all the drivers for the instruments. There is no driver specific to this model, but there is one for the 6310 B. Maybe this can work for you. You may need to change. If this isn't the case, you will need to write one yourself. You can get a lot of material for this here: http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/development.htm

Updated VMware vCenter Operations Manager tools
Hello everyone, I just use Citrix Xenserver to VMware vCenter with Operations Manager 5.8.4. I've looked everywhere and cannot find an answer to this. Is it possible to update VMware tools in the vCOPS TIME? I just started my new environment with v8 of Veeam backup and he lets know me that VMware tools are outdated. The only reason why I ask because, coming from Citrix Xenserver v6.2, whenever a device from the virtual computer is provided by Citrix, you're stuck with the tools provided in this unit until they update the device.
If it's good to update the VMware tools, it's as simple as opening the console to each virtual machine in the vApp and he tell the ' Install/Upgrade Vmware Tools? Or is there a more complicated step?
Thank you
Brett
As far as I KNOW, the VMware tools upgrade is not recommended on vCops.
This breaks the device and you can ignore the message of the VMware tools obsolete.

I uninstalled and reinstalled, I triple checked that I can connect on the VCenter server using the account Update Manager DB owner on the Update Manager database. I can connect to SQL using the native client ODBC SQL 2008 under the same account. But we get the same error of several machines when we install and run the plugin VCenter.
Any ideas?
If you use Windows authentication to connect to the database, you have to change the user who initially on the virtual center of the Update Manager service. You must put the name of user and password of the user that can connect to the database (by default Update Manager beginning with the Local System account. During the installation if the vCenter Server is on Windows 2008 I think you must also use the FQDN of the server vCenter (or ip address) to be sure it get the right address (something to do with IPv6 on Windows 2008). At least it worked for me.

Where should I install VMWare vCenter Update Manager?
I have a client vSphere VM (Windows XP), vCenter VM (Win 2003) and 6 Linux server VM on my ESXi server.
Should I avoid installing Update Manager on a virtual computer on the ESXi server, or if it is not serious?
I prefer to install on my client vSphere VM, but not sure that this has disadvantages because both the ESXi to-be-implementation to date and the VM Updater-Manager would be the same physical machine.
Even if the Update Manager is the preferred method, with the environment, you have (1 host, 6 VMs) I would consider updating the host manually (using vihostupdate) and don't even bother with the installation of Update Manager.

What is the use of Vmware vcenter device? and when it can be used? is it free?
Hi guys - when can we see VMware vcenter device an option? Is it free?
Is that it is contemporary with the linux version of VMware vcenter windows version with Sql express?
When we use this? Why not to choose windows VMware Vcenter license version if it is available for free? (up to max. 5 hosts and VM 50 s for how long we can use this in our environment)
Kind regards
Abhishek Singh
According to me, there's no difference between vCenter through windows & device licenses.
You will get vCenter license (as a whole) and now its your choice to deploy vCenter either on windows or deploy the same form of appliance. Once deployed, you must apply the license.
If you opt for the vCenter Foundation, you will get the same set of features you deploy the VC under windows or as an appliance. It is the same for the standard vCenter license. If you deploy on windows, you need windows license as well.

vSphere installed... what VMware vCenter?
Hello
After a day or two fiddling with the material, I finally got updated vSphere environment
and I Win2008R2 installed on a virtual machine and a Linux Server installed on another.

Va-the < http://*LocalIP* > on my browser, I see that I need to download VMware vCenter.
I click on "Download VMWare vCenter" and I am led to this page:
http://downloads.VMware.com/d/
There are 10 + VMWare vCenter products and which confuses me. Which one
the "Download VMWare vCenter" refers to?
BTW, vSphere 4.1 is released. But there are references to vSphere v5.0 (with a new
authorisation scheme). When released v5.0?
Thank you
Ed
Hi Ed,
So what you're saying is that what follows is identical: vCenter operations, CapacityIQ, Lifecycle Manager, Site Recovery Manager, Director of the lab, Server Heartbeat, Configuration Manager?
No, it is certainly different products. I understand you asked what link you can download "vCenter Server.
And in order to install the vCenter ?> , I need also a SQL Server? In an earlier thread, it was mentioned that SQL Server Express is installed if I hadn't SQL Server (which I did not)?
During installation, you can decide whether to use an existing SQL Server install SQL Express. The recommendation is to use SQL Express only for environments with up to 5 ESXi servers and/or 50 virtual machines.
vCenter Server can be installed on a Windows physical system or a virtual machine (it is recommended to install in a virtual machine). To access and manage the "VirtualCenter Server", you need to install the "vSphere Client' on the client system and connect the vCenter Server with it.

where are stored the Update Manager logs
This has been driving me crazy!
I get errors trying to analyze a multitude of vcenter server. And get the error:
«ESX cannot resolve the DNS name of the hotfix shop VMware vcenter update manager.» Ensure that the name of Update Manager server can be resolved from the ESX host"
Now my ESXi hosts are on the SAME local network in the vcenter server box, which has also installed on the update server and the plugin. It would be REALLY nice to know where the hell are the real papers showing that the vcenter server and Server Update Manager made during this analysis, not to mention ESXi 4.1 logs can show something interesting.
Ive found a lot of messages on the server vcenter and verisons esxi 3.5 and 4.0, as well as on ESX (not ESXi)
Ive even looked in the documentation for the ESXi server and vcentre. He said almost all other newspapers, but does not update the log files manager...
Where can I find these... im going gaga!
Sorry, I thought you were in 2008. For XP, I think they're under C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\Update Manager.
In any case, I'm glad you found the answer.

It is not really something of great value in AUVs to database, except the basic lines, which can be easily recreated so you are probably better if you uninstall / reinstall vum and re-init the db.

Hello everyone I have an interesting question, I'm physical conversion to virtual pointing to the new virtual directly on the server esx conversion would set schedule for a day. But now, it's just stuck at 81% and not go further! I don't get any errors of ideas? questions are there a basis that I can look to see what is happening? Is there a way I can fix it without start over again. There are enough resources on the destination esx I had to change the hard drive space for destination and ram, but done nothing radical imprint more small which I think should do better.
It's an interesting case, you have here. I guess that conversion is complete, but somehow you do not see or a deadlock occurred.
Anyway you will probably be able to export logs to the customer. Go to the directory of newspapers to %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\logs (for WP/W3K) or vCenter Converter Standalone\logs %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\VMware\VMware (for Vista +) and find the log of the last worker (vmware-converter-worker - .log #). The status of the conversion is currently connected. Take a look, or that she has finished, is still running, is stuck.
If he has you can try restarting the client and/or server converter service. Do not stop the worker service unless you are sure that there is no conversion running!

vCenter Update Manager install confusion
I'm finally getting around to installing vCenter Update Manager for our environment vSphere 4.1, but I'm having a nightmare of a time to settle. VCenter is installed on a Windows 2008 R2 64-bit server, my SQL box is MS SQL 2005 installed on an old Windows 2003 64-bit server.
Went in several circles between SQL 32 bit DSN, ODBC 64-bit drivers and the unauthorized download service must be installed on the same server as the Update Manager. When you run the installation on my vCenter server, I get the following message:
The vCenter Server is incompatible with the VMware vCenter Update Manager you install. Please select a compatible Server vCenter.
At this point I don't yet really if I get it to talk to our SQL Server or not. I want just the installed software. If anyone knows what's the magic combination to get everything going, I would really appreciate the info.
hope that the 4.1 version of the vCenter server. In this case, if the version of the 4.1 Update Manager must be installed with the hassle. If the server vCeneter is 4.1 and Manager Update 41U1/U2, then installation will fail with the above error. 41U1 is not comaptible with 41 VC. Please refer to the software compatibility guide. http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vSphere4/R40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.PDF
