Change of VCenter server for a pool View 5

• Considerations when changing the vCenter Server Unique ID?

  We have a minor problem with MAC address collisions, and to fix it, I want to change the ID of vCenter Server Unique from our "view" vCenter Server.

  (see KB1024025)

  However, I fear that there may be some side effects, of which I am unaware, and decided this time I would like to better ask before doing something stupid.

  Is it safe to change the Unique ID of a vCenter Server used by VMware View?

  Do I have to wait for any other effect that newly generated in another range MAC addresses?

  I have crossed a reinstall of my machine to vCenter using my existing db, but do not go back and change the ID Unique in what it was previously, and it caused no ill effects.  Having said that, for consistency, I made them the same thing.  I know that the ID to be used only for MAC and UUID, so there should be no problem.

• No VRM server registered with vCenter Server for the site 'Live '.

  I have SRM 6.1 and vSphere replication 6.1 installed on both sites.

  The ECP is connected to the vCenter server.

  I get this error message: failed to create the protection group. No VRM server registered with vCenter Server for the site 'Live '.

  Screenshot attached, no one knows what is happening here?

  

  However, there was a mismatch in the meantime server on all except VRA in the remote site, it is now resolved and the issue disappeared.

  Strange, how the error related to the site online, however.

  Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

• Easy VMware vCenter Server for Essentials Question

  Hi all

  We are looking to buy VMware vSphere Essentials for use in our Test/development environment and had a question about vCenter Server for Essentials. I know this is a light version of the 'standard' vCenter, but is there any reason that I could not run this version in a VM to manage the node 3 environment "Essentials" like I do in my "regular vSphere cluster?"

  TIA,

  -Jason

  I see no problem at all with your server vCenter Server running as a virtual machine. In addition, it is fully supported.

• Changing the vCenter Server IP address

  I am trying to build a new vCenter environment, we are currently waiting on IP ports and patch our networks team but I would "If I can" start building the server vCenter for this environment, there will be a virtual server.

  We have a test environment in place for the moment that we have a shared iscsi data store that once the environment has been built, we can remove from the inventory and add to the new environment once completed.

  Can we see problems with IP addressing if I build the server with a temp IP then import into my new environment and then change the IP address?

  Yes,

  As you say you have a DB server as physics that won't change, even if you go for the production.

  So, all that you requested

  (1) SSO - for SSO db if you use existing DB for this tha'ts then fine, but if you plan to have additional server to DB, you will find difficulty

  (2) SQL server for VC - as you said that you use existing DB... It is very good

  (3) installing vcenter server and inventory... require you to have details of the SSO server. If you use the IP agreement for the installation of VC, there is difficulty, where you must uninstall VC and inventory services.

• Change of DNS server for VPN clients

  I'm changing the DNS server which gives my VPN to VPN on a Cisco PIX 515E clients. Does anyone know what command it will increase from 10.6.0.2 to 10.6.0.4? The software version is 7.2 (3)

  Thank you.

  Usually, the DNS server is assigned in the relevant group policy, that clients use to connect. Please see this link for more information on the syntax of the command line.

• Changing the DNS server for ESX hosts?

  Our network administrator will change the IP address of the DNS server.  In this way, we will change those corresponding to ESX hosts.

  We would like to know

  (1) can we change the DNS server on execution of the ESX hosts without going into maintenance mode?

  (2) under what circumstances the ESX host will do use DNS servers?

  (3) memory, we should add all the IP addresses of ESX host in the hosts file in the Service Console, where is this hosts file located at?

  Thank you

  Tony,

  Use "service network restart" command to restart the network service

  Do not forget also that...

  Very dependent on DNS HA, HA will not work without the correct DNS configuration. The servers ESX and vCenter server must be able to resolve the name (FQDN full) / IPs in both feel to get a working HA.

• The upgrade to vCenter Server 5 with a view Server 4.6 on a host ESXi 4.1

  We have guests ESX and ESXi 4.1 and just got a new host ESXi 5. We must now be upgraded vCetner to version 5 server in order to manage the new host. I know 5 4.1 manage vCenter hosts but do I need to be wary when it comes to the host that maintains the virtual computers view or the view Server 4.6 VM itself?

  According to the comapbility matrix View 4.6 is not supported under vSphere or vCenter 5.

• vCenter Server does not send data to vCenter Log Insight

  I second vCenter server in another site, in Insight Log connection tests but I don't see any data from it...

  ESXi hosts connected to this server vcenter report their data after you run the command configure esxi on the tank.

  Where I can watch on the vCenter box that does not ensure that its installation correctly to send the data?

  Log Insight does not change to vCenter server so there is not place to search the vCenter Server (API calls only - you could try to look at events for the instance of vCenter Server view connection / disconnection of the events in log Insight). Usually when the vCenter Server events, tasks and alarms are not observed it stresses a connection permissions problem. The user specified for vCenter Server integration - must read-only permissions that are set on the object level superior vCenter Server and have you selected the checkbox to enable the authorization to broadcast across all objects? If so, can you generate a beam of support-> page Health Administration and transfer it by the directions here: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1008525 (not necessary for a SR, simply create a file called chasehansen)

• Changing servers vCenter

  Hello

  I have a vCenter Server 4.0 U1 with a bit of Connection Manager servers connected to it. I need to change the server vCenter for an another 4.0 U1. I can simply change the vCenter server info in the connection without interupting Manager any of my stocks of VDI?

  Thanks for the help

  Aaron

  We had a particularly bad experience with view after a vCenter server change, so I may be too paranoid, but I highly recommend opening a pension with VMware case before making the change.  I believe that the VMs system (ESX host also) are saved with vCenter and that the 'recording' information is the database of the view, it is essential that this information is not changed in vCenter.  If it is changed, the pointers of the database of the view will not be up-to-date and you will have big problems.  I think that as long as you point your new instance of vCenter to your existing database of vCenter, everything will be fine, but I just would make sure with support before doing so.  Good luck.

• Upgrade a undersized vCenter Server

  A vCenter server for a small farm (4 hosts and about 200 VM) has been installed originally on the undersized material and should now be moved to an appropriate host more.

  I see two options, implementation of a crowd to dedicate or a virtual appliance.

  • If I select a dedicated physical host and perform the procedure on the page http://kb.vmware.com/kb/5850444, RAM-how much should I be implemented, given the same host must act as vCente and Update Manager? Based on the documentation, I'd than 4 GB, but from my experience I'm not sute 4 GB are enough: can someone please suggest good memory sizing?
    
  • If I select a virtual appliance, can I migrate the vCenter cuttent leave the host physical currend to the virtual appliance?
    
    • Given I can migrate the current vCenter to a virtual appliance, what are the disadvantages of the implementation of a virtual appliance instead of a physical host?
      
  • As can a last chance, I use VMware converter to convert the current vCenter to a virtual machine and install it inside the vSphere infrastructure?
    

  Concerning

  Marius

  The steps you mentioned should work ok. After the conversion of the virtual machine, make sure you reconfigure the IP settings and remove any material about the drivers and services that have been installed for the physical host and then install VMware Tools. I still suggest stop you the vCenter Server services and SQL-Server (in the case of a local installation) on the physical host computer before you start the conversion.

  About HA, vCenter is required for HA configuration. HA itself independently on the hosts, vcenter Server. While the vCenter Server is turned off the VMs system will continue to operate and some features such as vMotion, DRS,... which are initiated by vCenter Server is not available.

  I guess you don't have any other feature as View Composer,... installed on the server vCenter Server!

• Two vCenter - migration to vCenter Server 5

  Hello world.  I have a vCenter Server 4.1 to exsiting v4.1u1 hosts and production/DEV Essentials Enterprise production management.

  I want to build a new vCenter Server 5.  This new vCenter facility will also have the new databases and vcenter Update Manager, on a separate SQL Server.  I'm not worried about the loss of existing data as each of my existing hosts is also rebuilt to ESXi 5.

  My question is about licensing.  On the this server vCenter, all my license keys are exhausted.  If I build a new server vCenter, how can I add my existing ESX/ESXi servers to the new server vCenter without licenses available?  I realize that if I remove Let's said ESX01 since the existing vCenter server, these licenses go back in the pool on SERVER.  If I can't add ESX01 on the new vCenter server, I used this same license key?  In other words, have the same active key on two vCenter servers, which are not connected or even the same version?

  Clear as mud right?

  Thanks for your time.

  -Dave

  Using the same license key on both instances of vCenter server is actually the only way that you can migrate hosts on the new vCenter Server. I do not think that there is a problem of legal license if you disconnect a host of the "old" vCenter Server - releasing upward CPU licenses - and then assign the license to host again when you connect it to the new vCenter Server.

  In regards to your first sentence. Probably, you break the EULA if you manage Essentials through an instance other than the Server vCenter vCenter server for Essentials.

• vCenter Server Linked Mode or not?

  Hello

  I had the following scenario: I have an existing with 8 physical ESX host Esx environment and virtualized 1 vCenter server for all direction and 1 Cluster. Now (for Oracle license costs) my company advised me to create a second group of Esx with 4 physical ESX host.

  My question is related to the vCenter for the management of the two clusters. It is recommended to install a second vCenter Server for the Oracle VM Cluster and server vCenter link the two together (linked modes) or let them operate separately or use only 1 vCenter Server for the management of the cluster 2?

  In your opinion, what are the ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES?

  Thank you!

  Just bound mode will not give you solution Dr. bound Mode is used when there are two vcenters and they are linked together to achieve centralized management. It will all show you the inventory in both the vCenters. The first vcenter will both his and 2nd vCenters inventory and the second will have its own and inventory of 1.

  But using a UNIQUE multi-site authentication users/permissions will be replicated and since you have the replication table both of them should work together and give you DR.

• vCenter Server 5.5 cannot connect

  Hi all

  I can't connect using vsphere client in my vcenter server. I installed the simple installation.

  I installed the related modules and VMware vCenter Server for Windows on a Windows Server 2008 R2.

  Installation completed successfully. I can not connect with the vsphere client. He says I don't have permissions.

  Only the connection that works, is to webbrowser https://server-IP:9443 , but I can't add hosts etc. just look a that its empty.

  I'm sure I missed something but don't know what.

  Could you please help me?

  Kind regards

  Roland

  

  Please log in the https://server-ip:9443 / with [email protected] user and password defined during installation. Your vcenter will then appear in the inventory. After that, you will be able to add guests.
