Change of host and domain name ownership virtual vCenter Server... issues to know?

Looking to change the name and domain membership of our vCenter server v4.0 virtual host\system to harmonize them with the rest of our servers and make it consistent with our security policy.  Are there things I should be aware to allow migration of fluids before, during or after the change of name and the field?  The vCenter server is a unique system that hosts all the necessary services and applications for vCenter, so there is not a second box that he speaks for something out of control two ESX servers for the cluster on which it resides.

Yes... Especially in vSphere where there is no license server is all the function key.  I don't foresee any problems.  But if you use a license server may want to change your license IP source if it is not already.

You can also simply restart the vpx on your ESX host agents if you see weird problems

  • Where can I find the name of a vCenter Server?

    For an ESX Server, I can find the name using the $_ - & gt; Summary - & gt; config - & gt; name, where $_ is a host view.

    How to find the name of a vCenter Server?  There really a distinct name to the host name of the system?  If this isn't the case, I would still find it.

    Where it appears in the object hierarchy?

    Thank you.

    3 ways:

    (1) because you connect to a vCenter server, you can retrieve the name of the - server variable

    2) there is an advanced vpx option that contains the name of the instance of vCenter: VirtualCenter.InstanceName who should be its host name, either long or short

    (3) If you are on a host ESX (i) which is managed by vCenter host, there is an exposed property called managementServerIp - http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.host.Summary.html#managementServerIp where you can do a search of reserve if you have correctly configured to get FULL of DNS domain name

  • Difference between Standalone Converter and converter integrated with VMware vCenter Server?

    What is the difference between Standalone Converter and converter integrated with VMware vCenter Server, except that it comes integrated with Vcenter and another does not?
    Please confirm is there the technical differences between them?

    Also take a look at the Release Notes for vCenter Server 4.1.

    of http://www.vmware.com/support/vsphere4/doc/vsp_esx41_vc41_rel_notes.html

    VMware vCenter Converter plugin. VMware vSphere 4.1 and later versions of the update and patch are the latest editions of the VMware vCenter Converter plugin for vSphere Client. VMware will continue to update and support the free Converter Standalone product, which allows conversions from sources such as physical machines, machine formats virtual VMware and Microsoft and some third-party disk image formats.

  • (3) maximum number of hosts allowed for this edition of vCenter Server has been reached.

    The following error message appears in my events of vCenter server every minute or so:

    "(3) maximum number of hosts allowed for this edition of vCenter Server has been reached.

    I have a license of vCenter Server Foundation (4.0) with three hosts. I am aware that this license only supports three hosts. Why vCenter should log an error every minute to tell me that? Can I have it also ignored it clutter visually the events list?

    And to meet me once again, VMware has just contacted me and he was recorded as a bug and will be fixed in update 1 when coming out.

  • PowerCLI Script to change the DNS servers and domain name

    Hello

    Brand new to PowerCLI, I'm trying to create a script that will change the domain name and the DNS servers of my ESXi servers. I found that I need to update the Vmware.Vim.HostDnsConfig to update these settings. I created the following script and the following error.

    $config = new-Object VMware.Vim.HostDnsConfig
    $config.domainName = "new.domain.com".
    $config.address = new-Object System.String [] (2)
    $config.address [0] = "10.69.69.80".
    $config.address [1] = "10.69.70.80".

    _this $ = get-view-Id "HostNetworkSystem-networkSystem.

    _this $. UpdateDnsConfig ($config)

    You can not call a method on a null value expression.

    Line: 1 char: 23

    + $_C. UpdateDnsConfig < < < < ($config)

    + CategoryInfo: InvalidOperation: (UpdateDnsConfig:String)], RuntimeException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId: InvokeMethodOnNull

    I guessed the error message that I need to a value in the host name, I do not need to change the host name. So I create a variable to remove the host name and place it in the $config. Line received host name but still a mistake because the variable is pulling more information that I need.

    $hostname = get-VMHost | Select name

    $config. Hostname = $hostname

    When I insert the above code I have an error.

    Exception by calling 'UpdateDnsConfig' with '1' or the arguments: ' year error occurred during the configuration of the host.
    Line: 1 char: 23
    + $_C. UpdateDnsConfig < < < < ($config)
    + CategoryInfo: NotSpecified: (:)) [], MethodInvocationException)
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId: DotNetMethodException

    When I look at the $config I see the following.

    DHCP: false
    VirtualNicDevice:
    HostName: @{Name = ESXI01}
    Domain name: new.domain.com
    Address: {10.69.69.80, 10.69.70.80}
    SearchDomain:
    DynamicType:
    DynamicProperty:

    Of course the @{Name = ESXI01} will not work. Someone can explain how to get a host name in a variable and pass it to the Config.Hostname?

    You should be able to do easily by using the command "set-vmhostnetwork.

    I don't think that you can just write to VMWare.Vim.HostDnsConfig.

  • FTP download and the hierarchy of folders and domain names

    I use GoDaddy as my web hosting provider. They are about eight of my domain names. One of these domain names is the ftp host or the root domain, called idlefreevt.org. I created a site for it.  I want to create several sites within one of these other areas, called waynemichaud.com. I want to call "bikeride", "rufus", "mom99", etc. How can I do this using either the download part of the functionality of the host FTP or FileZilla? I tried to do this on my own and get the dreaded "forbidden". I read some of this useful document but still need help.

  • Update Manager &amp; virtualized vCenter Server

    Hello

    Kind of a chicken and the egg here problem.  How you clean up a with UpdateManager ESX Server if it is installed on vCenter server is virtualized on the same ESX box?  I only ESX Server at the moment, so I can't vmotion whatever it is turned off.  I tried to update in any case say, but may not enter maintenance mode since my vCenter server is still in place.

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    Looks like you yourself in trouble.

    You can still use other ways to patch your esx hosts.

    1. using the update of the VI, installed with the client.

    2 patch ESX host with esxupdate or use one of the many scripts online fixes (look for esx patch.pl)

  • -= Decommissioning of a license key on ESXi host in order to import in vCenter Server Essentials 6 =-

    Our company recently bought a license for VMware vCenter Server 6 Essentials for vSphere (VCS6-ESSL-C) with license keys for VMware vSphere Essentials 6 for 1 processor (ha6-ESSL-C).

    I accumulated vCenter Server 6 on a physical device and assigned the new relevant license key, as well as installed Update Manager Server on this machine. This instance seems to be functional and functional.

    Now, I'm trying to import 3 x ESXi hosts in this environment which have the license keys from an environment "vSphere advanced 5. These 3 hosts are administered under an instance of VM of vSphere vCentre, that I want to the Commission under this license and the license on these hosts is no longer valid after a takeover of the company.

    Question:

    (A) Comment can I get correctly to the setting of these hosts so that I can use the new vSphere license key 6 that I received?

    (B) should I upgrade these hosts to v6 ESXi befin environment to use this new license key?

    (C) do I need to disable features on the hosts in order to apply to apply this license key "6 of vSphere Essentials?

    (D) what is the correct order for doing all these things to use this new environment vCentre?

    Thanks in advance for any assistance given.

    I havn't done it myself yet, but I think you should be able to achieve your goal, follow these steps:

    -downgrade license keys CPU Essentials to v5 im Portal MyVMware

    -the value of the new vCenter Server Evaluation Mode (actually maybe not necessary)

    -Add the licenses of Essentials v5 license vCenter inventory 6

    -Add hosts to the new vCenter Server ESXi 5.5 and assign licenses Essentials guests

    -re - assign the license previously removed to vCenter Server

  • Host migration of the most RECENT vCenter Server to the old version

    Has anyone moved hosts currently connected to a newer version of vCenter Server 4.1.0 to an older building?

    Example - 4.1.0 build 345044 to 4.1.0 build 208111

    If you what have been your experiences (tips and tricks) with this type of migration?

    Thank you

    Matt...

    should be no problem.  Disconnect the old vCenter host, then delete.  From there add the host to the new.  They vpx agent will be reinstalled and your host must be added to the inventory without problem.

  • Several ESXi hosts and need to share virtual machines

    I'm relatively new to ESXi (although a lot of vSphere, using iSCSI storage) and we are making a number of servers in remote site (with a proxy and utility VM to manage the file/print/dhcp) using ESXi. I have my VMs built on the first box and need to copy them off the coast to the other, but I have problems with the command ADD Storage... I can't seem to get the right information and I begin to think I'm missing something basic. Then...

    (1) can map you to the VMFS from another host esxi?

    (2) If you can, where do you find the location on the second machine information to set up the data store on the first machine?

    If it's important, we use Dell PE of the 1950s.

    Also, while I'm here...

    The size of a pain is to change the IP address or the name of the ESXi host area?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    VMFS is not supported on USB drives.

    You can use FastSCP for example, http://www.veeam.com/vmware-esxi-fastscp.html

    And Yes, there are several devices that could share storage attached to the network locally, but I don't see them as a solution when you want to just copy existing virtual machines to another host ESXi.
