Change the view hosts ESXi and Vcenter Ip addresses

Hello

Because of our new zoning, we need to change the IP addresses of all our guests view ESXi as well as our vCenter server View.  Is it still possible without altering the DB ADAM that uses the view?

Thank you

Mooge

If your ESX hosts are added to vCenter by host name and your vCenter are added to the view by hostname that you should be able to make this change without affecting the view.

If your vCenter is added by IP, then you will have problems.

If your ESX hosts are added by the intellectual property so that you can use maintenance mode to migrate all the virtual machines on each host, remove from the inventory, then add it to the cluster using the new IP or host name. View should have no problem with what we don't reference the hosts by their host names in any sort of statically.

  • With the help of ESXi and vCenter

    Hi all, I have some doubts on the use of ESXi and Virtual Center.

    Recently, we have set up 2 servers ESX with Virtual Center, all allowed in the Standard edition to have an available shared storage and HA.

    Our idea is to set up a new server with ESXi installed for testing purposes.

    Is possible to manage this server ESXi with our real VirtualCenter or we need a license? This particular server does NOT use shared storage or HA.

    Thanks for your help!

    Kind regards

    Diego

    Yes, you need a license for ESXi manage VirtualCenter. You can purchase the license to the Foundation. Please see the license attached (on page 3)

  • Need help to change a creation of VM PowerCLI script to support host ESXi and vCenter

    I have the below script that I created with much help from LucD - thank you! This has served me well for my lab procedures rip - replace so far. This script works when I run it against my single ESXi host when it is not connected to my server vCenter, but it throws errors when I run this script when the host is connected to vCenter and it fails to implement the controller SCSI Paravirtual. I think when the host is under the control of vCenter that changed some of the settings.

    If I point to the vCenter instead of ESXi host, I still get the same problem. In addition, I would also add the ability to create virtual machines in pools of different resources of a cluster of vSphere. My name in data center's LAB and my Cluster is called Local with pools of resources like TestLab, etc. see Horizon.

    Ideas please!

  • Failed to connect to client host vsphere and Vcenter also esxi.

    Hi all

    I am trying to connect to the ESXi 5 of vsphere client host. I get the error message:

    vSphere client cannot connect to < ip > an unknown connection error has occurred. (The request has failed because the remote server has taken too long to respond. (L'opération a expirer)).

    and of VCENTR I am trying to add this host. I get the error. Of"request timed out".

    I can connect to the shell of ESXi and restart the vpxa services and spend. I can ping to esi IP host. but just cannot connect to it.

    earlier, he the host showed as disconnected in Vcenter. I tried to plug it failed. so I took it off I think can re add back. It did not work.

    I can just connect to client as esx host.

    kindly advice.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I am able to connect now.

    I noticed as I said previously, unable to connect to the localhost error when running esxcli. Unable to connect using the vsphere client. Unable to connect using VCenter.

    So I started to dig that's wrong with the OS esxi. and began running a few commands information esxcfg etc file system use of space, inode inconsistency, a few other commands such vdh, df to check the file system.  . and but has not changed anything. network configuration is correct.

    in these I run services.sh reboot, restart vpxa, pass reboot, restart host, check the logs, vmkernel, vpxa newspapers spend., check the date and time of the host.  I couldnot Firewall check since esxcli did not work. I haven't checked listed above step on the SSO.

    If you type esx and double tab, you will see many orders. I started testing on these orders.  so esxcli was a single command I tried later. It worked all of a sudden.

    Once esxcli has started working, I checked vsphere client to connect to esx host that it worked. then I was able to connect in Vcenter also.

    Thank you for your support

  • VShield service Manager installation and vShield app to the same host ESXi

    Hello, I'm planning on vCloud Director assessment in a laboratory with only a single ESXi host.  When I try to install the app vShield service I get the following warning: do not install on a host or a cluster where the VC or the vShield Manager resides. This can cause network problems. The following IP address must be a unique IP address assigned to this unit of App vShield. Please do not use an IP address that is assigned to another machine, including the VC, vShield Manager or any ESX host. Using an incorrect IP address you will need to uninstall and reinstall App vShield on this host. My question is: is it is absolutely impossible to install vShield manager on the same host ESXi as the vShield Manager resides?  Or is it just a bad practice?  What are the ramifications of installing?

    It is a general practice to separate management and resources. What you see is just a warning. When there are very fewer resources available you can do. Make sure that you exclude from the required VM by referring to this post

  • ESX, ESXi and vCenter and virtual machines

    Hello all - I need to re - certify my VCP this month so I decided to sit down this weekend to set up a virtual lab.  I managed to get ESX, ESXi and vCenter working all in s vm on my laptop in less than 4 GB.  I use Player version 3 for now.  I have Workstation 6.5 but I have to spend my VCP to get a key of 7 workstations and improve it.

    The manual is a bit long, but here is the link if you are interested.  I'll update everything to Workstation 7 after my review.  I hope that some of you find it useful!

    Nice - Thanks for posting.

    I doubt that you must update for Workstation 7 as VMplayer 3 is nothing else than a torn Workstation 7. It has the same basic functionality.

    So, nothing will be different if you use Workstation

    By the way - Starwind is really nice simulate a San.

    Another interesting thing, that you know may not...

    It is possible to assign up to 8 GB of RAM to your virtual ESXs, even if the host itself has only 4 GB of RAM.

    For this I have

    prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = 'TRUE '.

    prefvmx.minVmMemPct = '5 '.

    in the file config.ini from the host. Do not run and then

    Using this trick, I was able to run 4 ESX virtual machines on my laptop 4 GB RAM running 2 k 3-32 bit host

  • Continue to change the views of folders under Vista

    Windows Vista has a tendency of capricciously changing the settings "Folder views" (tiles to details, etc.) and even delete the column headings used to "group by". Is there a solution? Is fixed in Vista 7?

    NEVER use a registry cleaner no matter what the case - Vista does a great job on its own and, most registry cleaners do nothing useful (even if the analysis indicates that it is 5999 errors that must be repaired and can be repaired if ypu buy program) or can do much harm (to the point where the only option is a clean install of the operating system).  There is not a single registry cleaner I can recommend (and there are probably hundreds of them out there).  IMHO, for Vista registry cleaners are a scam (and a dangerous one at that).

    You can change the views of files according to your needs (you have only 5 choices if you change the default templates - well you can always choose only 5, but the choice may be more in your order).  This is true regardless of the type of files contained in the files (once you change models, although the model chosen will depend on the type of file).

    Here's how to change the default template for a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets the folder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show how to reset the display settings for the Windows File Explorer, disable Automatic folder Type Discovery (which is I think what you want)and increase the folder display the cache to make Vista do not forget the display settings, the folder type template, the size or the position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

    It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with, open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the good File menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program AutoSizer to resize them.

    Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

    Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she argues, it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the two prior links provided: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)

    I hope this helps in your situation.

    Good luck!

  • How to use the Explorer under Vista? Like in XP, I was able to change the 'view' of all the files that have been hidden.

    I want to change the view and see all the files.  Reason is to move files from one hard disk to another instead of doing the method of file transfer.

    Go to start / Control Panel / folder Options / view and scroll down and check the box to show the hidden files and folders.  In addition, uncheck to hide system files. In addition, uncheck to hide extensions of known file types (the last because it can be useful and worth while you're brings other changes).  Your problem should be solved.

    I hope this helps.

  • How can I change the size of text and background color?

    How can I change the size of text and background color? When I select the text box and change the height, nothing happens. If I drag the box is smaller, it just jumps back to where she was. If I try to change the color, (which is set to 'default' gray), no color, it still shows as white on preview. Because I can not change the size of text box, I need to at least make the clear background because it's something that overlap.

    Answered my own question kind of... I had to go into the 'code' and change the settings manually. Why even have the options in 'view designer' to change the size of text box or color if it doesn't?

  • Can I globally change the names of files and or directory to lowercase to uppercase?

    in Windows XP or in Windows 7, globally change the names of files and or directory to lowercase to uppercase?

    A single configuration change probably will not accomplish this.

    Your best bet is probably the freeware "Bulk Rename Utility" program which has a section dedicated to change the case of file names.
