• vFoglight 6.5 & multiple instances of Virtual Center

  Hi all

  Can someone help me to get rid of a version of Virtual Center vFoglight 6.5?  We have two entries there are several virtual machines, data warehouses, etc...  We recently had to re - build vCenter and I think that's when it started.

  Thank you.

  I think this is covered by this solution, just be careful because you can not revive a deleted object.

  Note that in the most recent versions of Foglight, data management is under management server | Servers | Data instead of Foglight management | Servers | Data management.

• Virtual Center service

  After the reboot, virtual center service does not start on its own. I don't face any problem while I start it manually. How to fix this?

  Hello

  To resolve this problem, add a dependency to the VirtualCenter service so that it starts only after the necessary services have started.

  To create a service dependency:

  1. Click Start > run, type services.msc and press ENTER.

  2. Find all the services that vCenter Server requires. For example, SQLEXP_VIM, ADAM_VCMSDS or ADAM_VMwareVCMSDS.

     Note: the Service names are different from SQL Express and the full SQL implementations. For example, the name of the SQL Express service is SQLEXP_VIM and in complete SQL implementations, it is MSSQLSERVER.

  3. Open the properties of the service and note the name of the service. For example, MSSQL$ SQLEXP_VIM.

  4. Click Start > run, type regedit, and then click OK. The window of the Registry Editor opens.

  5. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vpxd.

  6. Double-click the DependOnService key and add the Service name by using the name identified in step 4.

  7. Close the Registry Editor window.

  8. In the Services window, open the properties of the service to the service identified in step 3.
  9. On the Dependencies tab, make sure that the VMware VirtualCenter service is registered as a function of the service.
  10. Repeat steps 3-9 for all services that requires VirtualCenter.

  If you are running Windows 2008 you can set the VMware VirtualCenter Server service to automatic startup (delayed) following type:

  1. Click Start > run, type services.msc, and then click OK.

  2. Right-click on the VMware VirtualCenter Server service, and then click Properties.

  3. Change the automatic startup type Automatic (delay).

• Considerations of Design for the U1 Virtual Center 6.0

  I look at the deployment options in my environment and the plan initially to resist a LAB environment. I was looking at the possibility of defending the VCSA "LAB" with HA PSC behind and F5 load balancing. My question / concerns are I will be at a later date connect you to windows or virtual VCSA in this HA PSC environment? I know that you cannot mix windows and the PSC system, but I think that you should not have problems connecting a virtual center of windows to VCSA PSC? I hope that what I am asking is logical...

  "vCenter Server Deployment Models" > "mixed operating system environment' > 'Eexample of a mixed environment of operating systems with a device of service of external platform controller' section of the documentation of vSphere 6 have answers to your question." " It goes the same for environmental HA PSC behind F5.

• Is a new virtual Center required for deployment of Horizon view 6 / licensing issues

  Hey all,.

  Just curious to know if it is required or existing best practice to install a separate virtual Center for your environment from view of the Horizon, or if it is correct to attach it in your VC.

  Also, reading that I've done, it seems that when you buy Horizon display 6 advances you get ESXi licenses as well?  Is it true.

  When it comes to the Windows 7 license you ave h to buy anything for your VDI VMware or do you just an open license / SA with Microsoft for Windows 7/8

  I think the projections and business decisions will do that for you.   Some circles have separate teams who manage desktop and server infrastructure.  In these scenarios, you can have a dedicated instance for VDI and the office team.     In other environments, you can be a small shop where a couple of technicians do everything.   In this environment, it can be allowed to have a single vCenter.     I still hate the TI depends on the answers, but in this case it really depends on your environment and how you want to manage.

  2: based on the comparison on the site, all the editions come with vSphere and vCenter for desktop.    I read you right, but I would check with a specialist VMware licenses.

  3: Just that you have the licenses required in view and vSphere VMware wants.  They do not all control over your Microsoft licenses.

• Mutiple remove virtual computer in Virtual Center 5.1?

  Does anyone know how to remove several virtual machines both in the virtual Center 5.1?

  Looking for an easier way rather than a virtual computer to both research and removing one at a time.

  I did a LOT of research with ZERO success.

  Hi theire,.

  so if I would have a very big amount of VM that I have to delete then I would with an input file and using powercli for quicker removal.

  try following:

  create the file vms.txt (and writing of the vm vertically)

  Then, you can use following code as deletion for all virtual machines of this entry.

  ####################

  to connect-viserver xxxxxx

  $content = get-content "path to the file.

  $vms = get - vm $content

  {foreach ($vm to $vms)

  Remove-VM $vm - DeletePermanently-confirm: $false

  }

  #####################

  It's a very simple Code > you could also integrate some kind of loop until the VM is turned off,...

  But in any case with Powercli I think delete is much more rapid then plu vi-client. equal to how the script looks like.

• Beyond the performance data not available to a host through Virtual Center

  
  Hello

  I have an ESXi host that relates to the ' No Data Available ' under his paw through Virtual Center performance. Fine appears real-time performance data, but the latest data are not appear and give the error as "No Data Available".

  Within the cluster of 4 hosts, alone is to have the point above. Others are appearing fine performance data.

  In another cluster host ESXi too connected to the same vCenter, I see one of the host is to have a similar question.

  I checked:

  • All work Rollup SQL is run successfully the default schedule.
  • Restarted vpxa service connection to the host directly using the vsphere client.

  I followed the KB article http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2007388 . as suggested in the article when I run the Sub SQL query I see there is no data within who. 

  exec sp_spaceused vpx_hist_statx

  name	lines	reserved	data	index_size	unused
  VPX_HIST_STAT1	NULL VALUE	NULL VALUE	NULL VALUE	0 KB	0 KB

  The output is similar (no data) if I run these queries:

  exec sp_spaceused vpx_hist_stat2

  exec sp_spaceused vpx_hist_stat3

  exec sp_spaceused vpx_hist_stat4

  Current configuration:

  ESXi 5.1.0 799733

  vCenter Server 5.1.0 Build 1123961

  Please help solve this.

  I actually planned for the downtime of the host and restarted it.

  Although loading performance data now.

  Thank you!

• Virtual Center for a given host list

  OK, I'm sure that miss me something easy here so I'll throw out and see if someone can help.

  I'm trying to do a report on my hosts that lists the number of processor sockets, carrots VMS, cluster parent and Center Virtual parent.

  For the life of me I can't figure out how to find the virtual Center.

  I connect to multiple virtual centers like this connect-VIServer-Server Denver.myorg.com, Chicago.myorg.com, Savannah.myorg.com

  Greetings-

  I see.  Looks like that the property on the VMHostImpl object (returned by Get-VMHost) was not always there.  I was checking against an environment that has the API vSphere 5.1.  I saw, as you have said, that these other properties were not present during the test against an API v5.0 environment.

  So, Yes, as you said - the '. '. Client.ServiceUrl"property of the View object for the host has a string that can be used to infer the vCenter server name.  And, you can still access this property of the VMHostImpl object via the. ExtensionData property.  Something like:

  Get-VMHost | select Name,    @{n="vCenter"; e={($_.ExtensionData.Client.ServiceUrl -replace "http[s]?://", "").Split("/")[0]}}
  

  What do I do?

• using db even for srm as virtual Center

  Hello

  Is - this possible/supported the same external Oracle rac (11) to serve as srm database the virtual Center, using a different user, of course.

  Or should I have to create a separate database for Mrs?

  Thank you

  Peter

  Hi Peter,.

  SRM requires its own DB, since the SRM DB and the DB Server vCenter have requirements of the other schema. You can find the configuration requirements / information on the DB SRM in the creation of the SRM database in the SRM docs.

  Hope this helps,

• Migrate a physical virtual centre to the virtual center unit?

  Hi guys,.

  Hope you can help or point me in the right direction. We have currently a physical Server running Virtual Center 4.1 (standard version of sql on the same box). I'd like to migrate this form and start using the new VMware vCenter Server Appliance 5.1. Is there for me to migrate / upgrade all 4.1 physics Unit 5.1?

  I need to first update the 5.1 physical and would do them a kind of migration.

  Any help is greatly appreciated?

  Thank you

  Ryan

  
  

  Will fundamentally the vCenter device requires a new installation. I'm not aware of a way to migrate existing SQL data.

  BTW. are you aware of the current of the device, as 5hosts/50VMs limits, no Manager Update...?
