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

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.

  • How to change provider vcenter url?

    When you access vCenters by the Director, we have an incorrect url for vCenter.

    I could change the url to manual setting, but where in fact these 'vSphere Services to provide this URL' settings are located?

    Thanks for the tip!

    I could change finally correct URL, but it has not been simple enough.

    vCenter SSO database was wrong URL for vCenter and I couldn't find any where the SSO configuration.

    Finally I had to open the vCenter with JXplorer SSO database and delete incorrect URL of ServiceRegistrations.

    I used this KB as a guideline: VMware KB: backup and restore of the configuration of VMware vCenter Single Sign-On 5.5

  • Advice on changes to vCenter

    As much joy coming my way.

    I have vcenter 5.5 running on a VM Win2k8 R2 with SQL SERVER 2005 Express. We have 6 hosts vSphere 5.5 - a single cluster with 4 production hosts and another cluster with 2 test host. Windows Server is not in AD yet because vCenter fails once I join it, so I keep coming back to a snapshot before joining.

    Because I would really like to get it joined the announcement and I'm starting to combat the problems of performance, I thought it would be a good time to make a change. Narrowing of the DB should help a little, but I think that an upgrade is inevitable. I am considering this plan:

    -Save the VIM_UMDB and VIM_VCDB databases and store it in the storage offline

    -Uninstall SQL and vCenter

    -Adhere to the AD

    -Install the latest vCenter and full SQL 2008 or 2012

    -Restore the databases

    -Drink

    Optional bonus - down the vcenter vm and install the vcenter device.

    Questions-

    -Can save it SQL databases restored the machine to vcenter

    -C' is better just to recreate the cluster from scratch? If so, how much of the configuration I need to redo (networking, security profiles, etc.)

    -If you re-create, should I disconnect the current vcenter hosts once I get DB backups? Any other measure to dissociate the current vcenter?

    I'm starting to look at the documentation, but I hope for some advice from the real world.

    Thank you.

    1. Yes. the DB can be restored as the flings vmware newly introduced for that purpose only. VCS to VCVA converter & #8211; VMware Labs

    2. If you re-create the cluster, you must do all the config. Once again. as it will be material to scratch.

    3. Yes. If you disconnect then do normally as you added before. No special measures.

  • 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.

  • Connecting two servers vCenter for a server for SSO in basic mode

    Can you connect two vCenter servers to a single server for authentication, if authentication single server configured in the basic Mode?

    For example, I have two vCenter servers in one site. I have install Single Sign on server on a separate virtual computer.    Two vCenter servers use only one SSO server for authentication.  Does it work?

  • Change of VCenter server for a pool View 5

    Hello

    I have a simple question about the view linked clone pools configuration.

    We are currently heading our view installation of a standalone environment, which includes a new server VCenter. Is it possible to change the name of the server in the configuration of the pool or should I recreate?

    Thanks in advance!

    Best regards

    Welcome to the forums.  In order to use a new vCenter, you will need to create a new pool, and then select this instance of vCenter.

  • 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.

  • Newbie question: you have to have 2 servers vCenter for MRS?

    We did turn ESX in recent years and have just started the process of implementation of the SRM.

    I have a vCenter (virtual) server that manages the production and DR data centers. He usually works on my cluster of Production but can work on my DR cluster. It can manage all ESX hosts and see all iSCSI storage (IE production san and DR san)

    Can I have a second server vCenter to implement SRM?

    The documentation seems to require it

    Thank you

    Andrew

    Yes, you don't have to have 2 vCenter servers.

  • Changing servers GANYMEDE

    We have added a new server running 5.2 and from 3.3 RADIUS.

    I lose router access when you remove the old server IP info and orders AAA? The router is out of State and do not want to lose the access while making these changes.

    Example of config:

    Ganymede old router config:

    AAA new-model

    AAA authentication login default group Ganymede + local

    AAA authentication login console_line local

    authorization AAA console

    AAA authorization config-commands

    AAA authorization exec default group Ganymede + authenticated if

    AAA authorization commands 0 default group Ganymede + local

    AAA authorization commands 1 default group Ganymede + local

    AAA authorization commands 15 default group Ganymede + local

    AAA accounting exec default start-stop Ganymede group.

    orders accounting AAA 15 by default start-stop Ganymede group.

    !

    AAA - the id of the joint session

    Ganymede IP source-interface Loopback0

    radius-server host 10.1.1.31

    radius-server host 10.2.1.9

    RADIUS-server application made

    RADIUS-server key 7 0835185A5C1053051D080717

    New configuration of router Ganymede (currently)

    AAA new-model

    !

    !

    AAA server Ganymede group + TTI_ACS_GROUP

    Server 10.1.1.253

    Server 10.1.1.252

    Ganymede IP source-interface GigabitEthernet0/0

    !

    Group AAA authentication login TTI_ACS_GROUP default

    the AAA authentication enable default group TTI_ACS_GROUP

    Group default AAA authorization exec if authenticated TTI_ACS_GROUP

    !

    Ganymede IP source-interface Loopback0

    radius-server host 10.1.1.253

    radius-server host 10.1.1.252

    RADIUS-server application made

    RADIUS-server t4t5i6rocks key

    Thank you!

    -Nick C.

    We have improved some time ago to ACS 4.2 to 5.3, I kept the router config to pretty much the same, and had a key to the Ganymede even server for all, so just added new hosts of Ganymede in the existing configuration server and then off the old server, everything was good.

    don't forget if you are worried about losing the connection and then the "reload in 005" is always good to do before making any changes so if you do a config that is not loved and you lose the connection that the router will reload and as not saved config arrived with working config. "."

  • Two servers vCenter and shared storage

    Hi all

    Is it possible to have two vCenter environment, vCenter 5.1 and 5.5 vCenter and each vcenter has two esxi hosts to vCenter 5.1 a 5.1 host esxi and vCenter 5.5 has esxi hosts.

    All four hosts to access the same shared storage (SAN).

    VCenter hosts different access to the shared storage will damage the virtual machines on storage?

    Thank you...

    Essentially access a data store from multiple hosts that are running different versions. However, in the case of these hosts are not managed by the same server vCenter Server, it is your responsibility to ensure that guests will not access the same VMs (records) system and maximum supported are not outdated storage vMotion tasks, for example simultaneous for a data store...

    Also don't forget that functions like the control of storage i/o may not work as expected.

  • vMotion between two servers vCenter

    From what I've read so far, it seems that this is not possible, but I just wanted to ask to make sure.

    Is it possible to live migrate a virtual machine on a host managed by 'a vCenter server' to another host managed by "vCenter Server B? All subnets and storage is exactly the same (we have our own hosts and storage, but it's just all managed under a vCenter Server now). We're just trying to completely separate our hosts and virtual machines to a subcontractor who took over the virtual environment (with the exception of what runs my team)

    I have the feeling that this requires time, which is unfortunate, because it means that it will take an extremely long time to coordinate and plan for all this work. Thought it was worth asking if...

    Thank you.

    I did something similar week last during the upgrade a 4.0 environment. I installed vCenter 5.1, then disconnected and removed the hosts the old vcenter (without first disconnecting that will prompt you to place the host in maintenance mode) and finally added to the new vCenter Server without downtime for virtual machines.
