• I did a stupid thing: I suspended "vmware vCenter Server Appliance" and now I can't connect to it more

  Hello

  First some info on our system. We have a group of three hypervisors and a few terabytes of storage on two devices of Synology. VCenter Server allows us to control everything. This vCenter is accessible via a dedicated ip address. Then I opened my 5.5 vSphere client on my workstation, check the name and credentials of the vCenter and hup I can admin everything.

  Now, what I did with my sleepy head? I suspended the so-called "unit of vmware vcenter server. And my vsphere client lost my connection with the server vCenter Server immediately.

  I can't ping this address ip-plus.

  I'm afraid that ssh is disabled.

  Installed on virtual machines seemed well-oiled, I can access it by using RDP. So no worries for employees using them.

  So I would like to be able to restart this device "vmware vcenter server" but I don't know how to do it.

  All useful ideas would be nice.

  And Yes, it's a really stupid mistake.

  Thank you

  Paul

  Point your client vSphere host your vCenter ON VM's.  You can then start the VM vCenter.

• Error connecting to the server by using the Client VMware vCenter

  When you attempt to connect to vCenter server using vSphere client, I get this message:

  "a general error has occurred: authorize the exception."

  However, if I log on the vCenter server locally and use a local Windows account in vSphere Client to connect to vCenter Server on the same computer - it works OK.

  There is obviously a problem with what happens when you use active directory to authenticate a user who connects with the VMware vCenter server client.

  Someone has seen this before or have any ideas?

  Thank you

  I had a similar problem on two different sites

  1. It was my firewall local windows on my Windows 7 desktop that it has prevented from work
  2. Another situation was DNS was not working properly and once I had a static entry, it worked

• VMware Vcenter Converter cannot connect

  I'm under VMware Vcenter Converter. I'm trying to convert a physical machine in virtual. In step 2, 'Specify the Destination' it says "unable to recognize the version or the server type when connecting to the host"the door"

  What now?

  For 'destination', select 'VMWare Workstation or another VMWare virtual machine', and then for the product "VMWare Server 2.x.  The 'destination' for a virtual machine to not ESX (not infrastructure) type is just folder on a local drive or share of newwork.  So yes, you can use a USB drive or eSATA connected on your local machine.

  I'm guessing that you choose 'VMWare Infrastructure' as your destination, which is not the right choice for a destination to Server2.

  (BTW, part of the reason why you can't find answers is to post the same thing in several areas just makes it difficult for people to know what has already been said.  Then you need to repeat your information and answers repeatedly, you did not.  And you have only been posting for one day.  Patience patience, grasshopper.  Not everyone is on the forums of every minute of every day.  The person looking for the answer couldn't read your post for the next few days.)

  Hi JLAPRADE,

  I read a similar case, it seems that the problem could be solved either:

  1) that allows SSLv2Hello to vCenter, or

  (2) upgrade to the latest Foglight/Agent managers to the latest version.

  Regarding the #1 option:

  Client configuration file updated the vpxd.cfg in vCenter. It's the line that needs to be changed:

  TLSv1

  To add the SSLv2Hello Protocol, the client he added after a comma:

  TLSv1, SSLv2Hello

  This solves the problem for this client, but you can check with VMware.

  If the problem persists after trying these solutions or if you have problems, their implementation, please open a request of Service (SR) with the support and mention this thread.

  This is where an SR can be created: support.software.dell.com/create-service-request

• Problem installing OpenManage for VMWare vCenter integration

  Hello

  I'm trying to use Dell OpenManage integration with VMWare vCenter and have downloaded and deployed with the OVF file.  The virtual machine appears to have installed correctly and I recorded 2 servers by IP address vCenter.  I can connect to the DellAdminPortal page and sign in.  In the Administration Console under vCenter record I see two vCenter server and I get the message

  Success

  The vCenter 172.17.1.30 has been saved successfully. Open a new client vSphere for vCenter 172.17.1.30 so that the changes can be implemented.

  However when I connect to my with the Web Client vSphere vCenter I don't see the icon Dell OpenManage integration under the Administration category.  What Miss me?  I also checked the Administration-> have management and I can only see vCenter Orchestrator, Log Browser and SSO Admin UI Plugin.  About Dell OpenManage.

  I have connected several times and have even restarted the VM OpenManage, but nothing appears.  Any suggestions on what I can do to get this race?

  Thank you

  Our web customer support is for vSphere 5.5 only. Please make sure it's the version of vCenter that you run.

  "If you are on 5.5 check if there are two plugin files in C:/ProgramData/VMware/vSphere Web Client/vc-packages/vsphere-client-serenity /" If there is, we have seen that removing the oldest file and restarting the blank Server fixed this issue.

• How to change the remote ip address connection svs - vCenter was reloctated

  We just finished relocating our vCenter from one subnet to another, the IP address has changed and now we cannot add vmware port groups in the vNetwork Distributed Switch.

  When we tried to add the port profile the warning was "warning: operation successful locally but the update failed on the vCenter server.» Check if you are connected to vCenter Server. "We have checked the configuration on the 1010V link and found the culprit, the svs to vCenter connection had the old remote ip address.

  What is the preferred method to change it without destroying the config?

  Thanks in advance.

  How to do is the following:

  n1000v (config) # svs connection vcenter

  n1000v(config-SVS-conn) # no connection

  # 1.1.1.1 remote ip address n1000v(config-SVS-conn)

  n1000v(config-SVS-conn) # connect

  Essentially to turn off, change the IP address and then reactivate the connection.

• Can not connect to vcenter after reboot

  Hello VMware,

  I can not connect to vcenter after reboot with the error «Failed to connect to the Vmware research service»

  

  I tried to follow below doc but no help.

  http://www.myvmwareblog.com/2012/11/28/lookupservicesdk-SSL-certificate-verification-failed/

  I tried to play with the Vcenter screen underneath, but no luck.

  
  

  To resolve this problem, replace the VCSA IP with hostname VCSA in the search service configuration file, ls_url.txt file.

  To replace the VCSA IP address with the host VCSA name in the ls_url.txt file:

  1. Connect to the VCSA via ssh under the root user
  2. Go to the directory/etc/vmware-sso using the command:

     CD/etc/vmware-sso

  3. Make a backup copy of the file ls_url.txt using the command:

     CP ls_url.txt ls_url.txt.bak

  4. Open the file ls_url.txt using a text editor
  5. Replace the VCSA IP address with the host name of the VCSA. For example:

     https:// Lookupservice/XXXXXXXXXX/sdk

     Where XXXXXX is the host name of the VCSA.

     Note: It is usually the host name of the domain the VCSA FULL name. Make sure it matches the common name (CN) in the certificate name.

  6. Restart the VCSA services by running the command:

     restart the /etc/init.d/VMware-vpxd
     restart the /etc/init.d/VMware-SSO
     restart the /etc/init.d/VMware-InventoryService

     Or

     Restart the VCSA.

  Alternatively, you can use this workaround to regenerate the certificates for the vCenter Server Appliance.To to regenerate the certificates for the vCenter Server Appliance:

  1. Temporarily change the IP address of the vCenter Server Appliance to a different IP address, not used
  2. Restart the vCenter Server Appliance
  3. Change the IP address of the vCenter Server Appliance to the originating IP address
  4. Restart the vCenter Server Appliance
  5. Connect to vCenter Server Appliance, https://vcenterserveripmanagement Web page: 5480
  6. Click the Administration tab, and then select Yes to certificate enabled regeneration
  7. Click send to save the changes
  8. Restart the vCenter Server Appliance

• How does VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat communicate?

  How does VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat communicate?

  VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat supports configurations of single NIC or multi.

  Public IP address: this IP address is used by a client to connect to an Active Server, and move between the secondary and primary servers in the case of a failover or a passage.

  IP address of the channel: this is for communication between active and passive servers. This is used for the transfer of control and an asset to the passive server data and monitoring the State of an Active Server.

  In a LARGE network, static routes are used on switches to maintain ongoing communication.

  Management IP address: this address is used to access servers in a passive role. In a multi NETWORK card configuration, a NIC will have IP addresses public and management, and an another aura NIC IP address of channel. In a single NETWORK adapter configuration, all IP addresses are on the same network adapter.

• I can't connect to Vcenter using vsphere client

  I installed vCenter 6.0 and vsphere client 6.0. I can connect to the web client, but when I am connected to vCenter using vsphere client I got error.

  

  In vsphere version 5.5 I can connect to vCenter using vsphere client 5.5.

  I can't find any information on this subject on vmware.com.

  Do vsphere 6.0 support connecting to vCenter using vsphere client?

  I guess you are using Vsphere Client beta built which has only the features of client enabled host.

  Try GA build Client to connect to vCenter. However, the latest vsphere 5.1 leave are available only in the web client.

• VMware vCenter living is no longer working with Acronis Backup Advanced, Help!

  Hello everyone, I hope this ad in the right area of im, I'm looking for some advice on what could be causing my question about integration using the byproducts, I am struggling to find something on the net that relates exactly to my problem so have resorted to forums to see if anyone has tips or ideas , like im fresh out of them now!

  • VMware Client & Server Version 5.5.0 - (VMware vCentre Server Build 1476327)
  • Acronis advanced backup (Version 11.5 - update 5)

  Since November the synchronization / VMware vCenter integration between the 2 products above seems to have stopped working correctly, which means that any change in the location of the VM machines in the VMware customer environment is not reflected in Acronis more.

  For example, when you move a virtual machine to a folder on a particular data center to another folder in the same Datacenter, this change should be so reflected in the Acronis, what is happening is no longer.

  In addition, when a virtual machine brand new is created in vSphere and is placed in the appropriate Center of data/file structure, this should (and working correctly until November) fill with Acronis 'vcentre' host Group that has the folder structure equivalent to pick up the plans for appropriate backup etc, but this happens is no longer, instead , the only way that you can see the new VM is under "all Virtual Machines.

  In addition, when removal of vSphere VM, also not being properly reflects Acronis more, when go in "All Virtual machines" these deleted machines are still show while intoxicated. But these machines no longer exist in vSphere, this shouldn't show Acronis more. Without doubt, this is connected to vCenter integration issues.

  Here are the steps I took to try to solve this problem

  • Disable/re-enabling integration with the server vCentre.
  • Restarting the Server Service on the management of Acronis Acronis license server
  • Reset all motors of unloading and the virtual machine.
  • Acronis and vCentre servers restarting.
  • A reconstruction complete the Acronis server and all subsequent config, etc. backup plans.

  After the last point (reconstruction of Acronis) integration has worked for a few days, then it stopped working again!

  If anyone has any ideas or possible causes, could you please let me know.

  Here are a few details of what was the root cause of the problem:

  Each VM in vSphere contains a list of parameters such as:

  InstanceUUID

  locationID

  guestFullName

  The problem arises because some of the virtual computers contains a copy of the values of these parameters (name, value). Thus, in order to update the database of AMS, we execute the SQL query with these settings, but when 2 or more of the virtual computers contains the same parameters, the SQL query fails > This is why the changes were not reflected and it was not possible to update the vCenter folder structure.

  The developer removed then duplicate values enable and disable the vCenter integration, by doing this it was able to resolve the problem.

• Impossible to connect to vCenter Server 5.5 using the vSphere Client

  Hello

  
  

  I'm trying to configure VMware Lab home using the link below and I have reached a stage where I need to connect to vCenter Server using the vSphere client.

  
  http://boerlowie.WordPress.com/2011/12/13/building-the-ultimate-vSphere-lab-part-9-ESXi/

  
  

  I installed the package of 5.5 full vCenter server using the simple installation option and it includes vCenter server, single sign - on, Webclient vSphere, vCenter server and vCenter Server inventory service. All the the latter is installed on a virtual machine that is running Windows server 2008 R2 guest OS.

  
  

  Whenever I try to open a session on the vCenter Server uses the vSphere client, one of the following error is displayed.

  
  

  1. you do not have the permissions to connect to the server 'vCenter server IP address.

  2. cannot complete the connection incorrect username or password-, this error is visible when I do not specify domain\username domain user name and simply enter the user name.

  
  

  For the details of the error, please see the screenshots - vSphere_client_1, vSphere_client_2 and vSphere_client_3.

  
  

  As suggested in the link below, I tried to create an SPN and then set the SPN (Principal of Service name) and the UPN (User Principal name) in the Active Directory identity Source using the web of vSphere client (please see screenshot vSphere_Webclient_2)

  
  

  http://vinfrastructure.it/2014/01/issue-in-logging-into-vCenter-server-using-Windows-ad-credentials/

  
  

  To fix the permission error, I tried to add the domain user to the Administrators group on the server vCenter (see screenshot vSphere_Webclient_1).

  
  

  However, none of the above-mentioned resolution has worked.

  
  

  So can someone please help? I am stuck because of this problem and badly need help to move forward.

  
  

  Thank you

  AJMAL
  

  Able to connect to the vSphere Client do you use the [email protected] account?

  Have you already set up permissions on the server vCenter object?
