Cannot install the vCenter agent service. Cannot download agent.

I have a little trouble with three of my ESX servers. I'm in vCenter Server 4.0.0 162856. I have three clusters that I am currently using. One is my cluster of blade test environment on our old equipment on our internal network (running ESX 3.5). One is our new cluster of blade on our internal network. The final (and) I have a problem) are the pole of blade on our external network. The new run ESX 4.0.

When I tried to add new hosts to our new cluster of blade on the internal network, everything went relatively well. I am trying to simply add hosts to the cluster on the external network, but every time, I get the "cannot install the agent vCenter. service '. Error failed to download agent. I read on the web that this can happen sporadically and try to remove/put on your ESX servers. I tried with all three, and no download. I first thought that the hard drives of my hosts were too small because I am booting from SAN and dug 25 GB drives strictly to the operating system. So, I tried 50 GB hard drives, and that did not help.

My guess is that it may be some sort of firewall issue and asked our network guys to unblock the ports 902, 905 and 8443. Still, this does not seem to help. I checked the file/etc/hosts and three servers, the vCenter server, and the server for the backup is defined in there. I also tried removing and time of the cluster. The only thing that does not work I don't know a ping servers that are defined in the hosts file works (but not other local servers) is vmkping, which gives a * not configured vmkernel stack * error.

Someone at - it ideas? Do you think it's firewall or vmkernel associated? My understanding is that the vmkernel would begin after it is attached to a host, but I could be wrong on this matter.

Thanks to all who help!

There are also port 443

  • Cannot install the Vcenter for Esxi 5.5. Windows 7

    Hi Experts,

    When I run the simple setup, it stops when tried to install the SSO, the message "cannot install the single sign on, this package is not compatible with your processor,..." I'm running a Lenovo T430, the processor in an INTELCore I5 vPro.

    I installed the client vsphere without problems. And I know that in the other lenovo T430 people install the VCenter correctly. I am running Windows 7 Professional.

    Any idea or solution?

    Thank you very much friends!

    I have improved my Virtual Center 2.5 to 2.5 update 3. After doing this, I have 2 of my ESX v2.5.4 servers which will not reconnect.

  • The vCenter Agent to 4.1 upgrade

    Good afternoon!

    I just built a 64-bit VM to host my server vCenter Server 4.1.  I install the vCenter server software and installation is indicating that it needs to update the vCenter Agent on all hosts.  If I choose Auto and allow installation to upgrade the agents (4.0), this will affect my VM production environment?  This should be done in a maintenance window or it will cause the end of production of VM?  Thank you for your help.

    No this will not affect production, the vCenter agent will pass on your ESX(I) hosts.  However, you can see the guests enter a State of disconnection/not responding during this time, which is normal.  I prefer the value my conservative DRS (5 stars) because sometimes during the upgrade many DRS events are generated as your inventory appears to be in a disconnected state.  Once all your guests and you can return to a State connected in vCenter you can enable DRS back to what it was before.

  • Delete the vCenter Agent after eval

    I have been using a vSphere stand-alone version but has moved to a trial after obtaining an EqualLogic SAN.  I wanted to see how the EQ Snapshot Manager worked with vCenter and to determine what level of the license, I would need for vCenter.  I was told that the systems would be to stand alone after the eval but they do not have and I can't determine how to proceed.  The error message says I have to remove the vCenter agent to apply new stand-alone license but an article indicates that the host must be in a connected state to remove the agent.  Since the eval license expires the host is in a disconnected state.  Any ideas?

    Welcome to the forums.

    When you register to download ESXi, you should have received an email with your license number 'free. ' Simply apply the license in the vSphere Client configuration tab. If you do not find the license number you can retrieve it by downloading the ESXi Hypervisor (free version) again. Your license number will be displayed on the original download page.

  • Why my windows freeze and go does not respond when I try to install the msn photo on hotmail download tool?

    Why my windows freeze and go does not respond when I try to install the msn photo on hotmail download tool?

    The active x bar descends into the small window and freezes all windows open right there and will not respond. This happens when I open a new message and try to attach photos.

    Things I tried but has not made a difference:

    reinstalled IE 8, deleted the history of the browser, disk Cleanup, removed msn photo upload control, optimized IE8

    With xp media center

    PS. This occurs also at any time the information down to install an active x on any site control

    The only way to surf now with frustration is to use IE 8 NOT add optional

    So I fixed that on my own and that's how I did it.

    You must uninstall IE 8 completely which will bring you to IE 7 (in my case) and then install IE 8 via the site updates or microsoft.

    Uninstallin IE 8 by going to:

    Start--->

    Control Panel--->

    Add Remove programs--->

    Scroll down to IE 8--->

    Click on delete.

    IE8 updates must be removed also, if not then click the box 'To see the updates' on the top of the window to scroll down, look for the IE 8 security updates and delete.

    Resart your computer and install IE 8.

    This worked for me and may or may not work for you.

  • Cannot install the Windows Fax Service

    I used to have a FAX in Control Panel > printers and Faxes screen, but I no longer. I went to control panel > Add/Remove programs/add Windows components and some Fax Services. The installation process starts and a Fax icon appears on the screen with my other printers. Until the installation finished, however, this fax icon disappears.

    I check start > all programs > Accessories > communications > Fax but the menu drop-down should be, he's not here, and the box says just (blank).

    I recently installed a new Canon printer that has the ability to "Fax From a Computer" that allows me to send faxes directly from a document using the modem in the PC. I think the only action of the Canon printer is made that a fax has been sent.

    After I installed the Canon printer I got a Canon Fax icon both Windows Fax icon, but I had a problem of phone and none of them worked. I have fixed the problem of telephony and the works of Canon Fax function in the computer, but I get the problem described above, when you try to install the Windows Fax.

    Is there something that prevents the addition of a second Windows fax service?

    How to go beyond this issue and allow multi-touch Fax from Windows?

    We consider that you have Windows XP with service pack 3 installed some variety.  If this is not correct, explain what version of Windows you have.

    What was the 'problem of telephony' and what did you do to fix?

    Open the Services applet (start > run > services.msc > OK) and make sure that each of the following is running and has shown startup type

    Yes, there is any tnsping in Instant Client. Guys find workaround solutions (not supported by Oracle), for example this:
