Change Virtual center 3.5 y ESX

• change virtual center with a new

  This is my first post, I hope it's the right place and that someone could help me. I have 6 esx 3.5.0 and 1 vc 2.5.0

  I host more then 5 and 50 vm and I saw this problem http://communities.VMware.com/docs/doc-3290 so I installed a new virtual Center 2.5 u5 to migrate MS sql 2005 express to MS sql 2005 sp2 standard, are both VMs.

  I don't want to migrate the data (see above second problem), I want to restart with own db, I recreated the cluster and now I want to migrate the new hosts and virtual machines in former vc.

  I do not understand whether it is enough:

  to DISCONNECT the hosts and then reconnect it to the new Victoria Cross.  When I have reconnected all hosts, I could disable old VC

  or

  turn off the virtual machines then REMOVE the host from the cluster on old vc, then add new host on cluster on new VC, then turn on virtual machines

  This second choice is very difficult because I need to turn off all my virtual machines, and it is not so easy in a production environment!

  this assistance is useful, but it's with db migration http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 5850444 that I don't want to.

  If there is an easier choice, it's better! http://communities.VMware.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif !

  You can vmotion the comments ok?  I do not think that the service starts do not ssh is related to your work that you do.

• Update Manager: it updates Virtual Center or just the ESX servers?

  Hi all.  After months of inactive Update Manager, I finally got it going again and so I need to install approximately 6 months of updates on my ESX servers.  This is the easy bit.  But how can I update my virtual server to the center of update 1-2.5 2.5 update 4?   Update Manager at level Virtual Center for you or is it a manual process?  That is to say.  Do I need to download the ISO and do an inplace upgrade?   Thanks in advance for any help

  see you soon

  The process of upgrading to vCenter is separated from the Update Manager. Download vCenter media - save your vCenter database and then run the installation program - it will do an upgrade on the spot.

  Here is a link to the upgrade guide - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_upgrade_guide.pdf

• Deploy Windows 2008 Server X 64 reviews of model with customization on Virtual Center 4.0 using the ESX 3.5 hosts

  Deployment of Windows 2008 Server X 64 system of operating invited by using hosts Virtual Center 4.0 and ESX 3.5 implements a message telling me:

  Cannot deploy the model: customization of the

  guest operating system "winVistaGuest" is not

  supported in this configuration. Microsoft Vista

  (TM) and Linux with Logical Volume guests

  Manager are supported only for the recent ESX host

  and versions of VMware Tools. Refer to vCenter

  documentation for taken configurations supported.

  error

  This isn't just normal? Just today I upgraded to VC4.0 to be able to deploy my new servers based on findings on this forum. And no matter if I change the Machintype Vista x 64 or elsewhere Vista32 (what is wrong of course). Any other gopt experience with this?

  There should be no need to upgrade to vCenter4 just to be able to customize a W2K8 Guest.  We vCenter 2.5 and have no problem.

• Best way to extend the drive C on Virtual Center VM - ESX 3.5.0 213352

  I am trying to increase the C drive 10 GB to 15 GB on our VM virtual Center. Is this VM on an ESX 3.5.0 host 213352. I went to change the settings on the machine virtual and changed the drive C 10-> 15 GB vmdk. No problem. I then connected to the virtual computer and went Mgmt of Windows disk that shows the C drive in NTFS base 10 GB with a 4.99 GB unallocated volume space beside him. I then went to Diskpart and entered the command line and selected the C volume range. I received the following error message "the volume you have selected cannot be extended. BTW - the page file is located on drive E and not on the C drive. This virtual machine has C and E only.

  I used the VM converter in the past, but it will not work in this case because the VM I want to choose to expand the C drive is the virtual Center VM. Any ideas on why diskpart will not work? Other solutions? Thank you!

  You can also use extpart, allowing that you extend without interruption

  .. .or the old way of fashion with a helper VM

  Make sure that the virtual machine has no active snapshots.

• Error al licenciar esx 3.5, virtual center of the host y

  Hola

  I have 2 esx 3.5 servidores y Virtual Centre of the United Nations.

  In each of esx, Guerra el .lic (single host) he is ok, appears as licenciado (es standard esx).

  Instalo UN virtual center y al instalar doy el fichero .lic Québec he generated in the web of vmware (centralized).

  VOY a cada esx y pongo ip del Centre virtual donde pone 'use license server', me dice algo asi como no hay to licenses validad if the doy tr o no, the digo if, pero no licenciado appears.

  He desinstaldo y vuelto a instalar el servidor of licenses, releido el archivo .lic... no hay manera.

  También al of ido he virtual center a "administration", he marcado "change host...". ', Center Management Server virtual y ahi, pero nada. If Quebec me appears ahi al dar al oton "administration", then b has the 'licenses' las features pestana y en 'virtual center foundation manager' in 'cost' pone server 1, remaining pone cero, y pone total 1.

  El host appears como desconectado al anadirlo al virtual Center try not there as none is can por las licenses.

  Saludos

  If el otro no you already licenciar lo're porque el vCenter no tiene fired para asignarle. Of how many CPUs are you fired? How many has released there? How many you is? ESTOS datos los puedes ver en el servidor of licenses y con the utility of licenses.

• Unable to access role to change the settings for the virtual Center

  Hi all

  I recently created two new roles to restrict the Active Directory in Virtual Center security group and the Resource Pool. I cloned VM Administrator role and tweaked so that this group can view full data center while being only able to create/delete the virtual machines in the resource pool. However, I can't work on what permission setting would completely restrict the role of access and changes to the "vCenter Server Settings" on the home page.

  Can someone please help?

  Virtual Center: 4.0.0 (Build: 208111)

  Thank you

  Fadi

  That sounds right.  roles and rights spread from host/cluster view for the sake of server configurations.

  If you set the role to the next level in vCenter 4 (which is the name/IP of your vCenter), they will have access to it.

  You can define a low level (data center), then define non-role or nothing at the top level.  you will need to place this permission/role on each object in the data center, you have for each of these connections.

  Kind regards

• Accident of ESX 3.5 but virtual Center did not perform vMotion on virtual machines

  Hello

  We have 3 ESX servers on Virtual Center 2.5. One of the ESX Server suddenly restarted due to hardware failure. There were 5 virtual machines on this particular ESX host.

  When we check all the VMs who resided on the ESX host touched, he has just restarted and didn't vMotion for the rest ESX servers

  The question is why don't the vMotion VMs to the rest of the other servers. The rest of the ESX host have more than enough CPU and RAM to accommodate all 5VMs

  My understanding of vMotion would be when an ESX host is down, all the virtual machines will be migrated to other ESX hosts on the cluster.

  When an ESX host is down, the migration of all virtual machines to other ESX hosts in the cluster is not a VMotion functionality, but this is a feature of VMware HA. The vSphere availability Guide:

  "VMware HA offering high availability for virtual machines by pooling their and the hosts they reside on in a cluster." Cluster hosts are monitored and in case of failure, the virtual machines on a failed host are restarted on alternate hosts. »

  Therefore, enable HA of the cluster to achieve the desired result.

  Best regards, Robert

• Training of ESX 3.0/Virtual Center 2.0 server...

  Hi all

  It is: I attended two classes in 2007 on ESX 3.0/Virtual Center 2.0. Which version of the test secure Channel can I take or what I have to go through training again? I am currently working with VI3.5 using all the features of the product. Thanks in advance!

  If you feel confident that you know enough about ESX 3.5 a new class is unnecessary.  There is no much revelation from 3.0 to 3.5.  So, you can take the VCP test for 3.5.   Now from 3.0 to 4.0, I would say that taking the class, but you should be fine...

• VMWare Virtual Center 2.5 update 3 management ESX v3.5 Update 4 and 5 guests

  I'm doing an audit of versions of VMWare and it seems that our cluster hosts are running a later update version as the virtual center server. Virtual Center 2.5 update 3 management ESX v3.5 Update 4 and 5 guests.

  Does anyone know if this causes problems. This has been the case since before I started and there seems to be no negative effect I see.

  Don't want to update virtual center update 5 as we plan to upgrade to vSphere, shortly.

  you are in a supported configuration, so you should be fine

  http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vSphere4/R40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.PDF

  However, with more agents on new hosts, you can see some are disconnects/no response errors for your hosts in vCenter.  In general, I would like to have my instance of vCenter to or superior to the latest version of ESX.

• Cannot perform any action on an ESX connected to Virtual Center Server

  Hi all

  I have an ESX Server which shows connected to my Virtual Center. I can access the virtual machines that are on the ESX of Virtual Center Server. However, none of the commands are available for the ESX Server when selected or by using a right-click on the mouse when the server is selected. All that shows is the summary of the report and the performance report all others are gray.

  I stop all VMs and you restart the ESX Server. Always displays the same State. Can someone provide suggestions about where to look to fix this problem.

  Thank you

  Robert

  I would check your permissions - you are not these permissions at the host level.

• ESX 3.5 U3 with Virtual Center Update 4 questions?

  Does anyone know of any problems with combining ESX U3 with Virtual Center U4?

  Is - this bad idea?

  I'm getting errors when the network configuration "request failed because the remote server has taken too long to respond" I don't know if its network related or associated with mixing ESX 3.5 U3 with VCenter U4.

  Ideas or comments please.

  Thank you

  Yes, this client was running ESX 3.5 U3 with VC 2.5 U4.  Only, they began their upgrade to vSphere, but prior had run several host ESX 3.5 U3 with VC 2.5 U4 for more than 6 months without any problem you describe.

• Problems with VMware virtual Center 2.5.0 and ESX 3.5.0 123630

  I lost connection to my SAN over the weekend and restarted my entire stack. Everything came to life, except a host server ESX is grayed out and shows disconnected my cluster of Virtual Center. If I right click on the host, everything is gray except 'Add alarm, add Permission, summary report and Performance report'.  I was able to connect directly to the host and was able to start the VM on the host machines, but my question is how to run in my cluster Virtual Center? I have no option to remove or connect.

  Thank you

  try restarting your vCenter Server Service

  ... also, you can restart pass and/or management agents vCenter on the host in question to the service console

• Upgrade virtual Center 2.02 VC 2.5 on the new server. Upgrade ESX 3.02 ESX Server 3.5. and add the new ESX Server.

  Hello

  We are due to upgrade our VMWare environment. ESX 3.02 x servers virtual Center 2.02 and 3.  We have new material on which to install Virtual Center and we are also adding a new ESX Server.

  I read various guides for virtual center upgrade and watched questions on the forum, but can not see everything that relates to the way I thought to do. I want to install Virtual Center 2.5 on the new server and I would refer her to the current virtual cenre database.  Is this supported?

  I then install ESX 3.5 on my new ESX Server and add it to the virtual Center. Then I would start the upgrade / rebuild other servers using VMotion to migrate all VM the next server to be rebuilt on the new server running ESX 3.5.

  Would this work.

  What is the best way to upgrade the virtual center of new material and a new Version?

  Thank you for all the advice that can be offered.

  Kind regards.

  Yes, it is an upgrade that is supported.  Don't forget there will be an upgrade for your DB schema and it may take some time.  Just make sure that you have a good backup of your DB before you start.

  I then install ESX 3.5 on my new ESX Server and add it to the virtual Center. Then I would start the upgrade / rebuild other servers using VMotion to migrate all VM the next server to be rebuilt on the new server running ESX 3.5.

  I agree entirely, I drive rebuild is the way to go.

  Would this work. > What is the best way to upgrade the virtual center of new material and a new Version?

  Upgrade to the current version using the .iso image file.  Don't forget the license server, which is a standalone update and are located in the folder /vpx of the vCenter .iso

  Upgrade path:

  1 vCenter

  2 ESX

  3 VMware Guest Tools

  Thank you for all the advice that can be offered.

  I hope that was a little helpful as well
