Connection host to vCenter

• Unable to connect hosts to vCenter

  Hello

  I see this problem is well known, but after trying everything I found here or on the different VMWare KBs (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1027672), you are my last hope !

  When I try to add a host to vCenter (via vSphere Client or vSphere Web Client), I have the following error:

  • Cannot contact the specified host. The host may not be available on the network, may have a network configuration problem, or that the management on this host services may not respond

  About versions of software:

  • ESXi 6.0
  • vCenter 5.5 (installed on a Windows Server 2008R2)
  • vSphere Client 5.5

  Here's what I CAN do.

  • The host can ping vCenter (both with IP and server name)
  • vCenter can ping on the host (with IP and server name)
  • DNS resolution works great
  • I can connect directly to the host with vSphere Client (and create a virtual machine, if I want to)
  • The host is not in "Lockdown" mode
  • The vCenter database is clean (MSQL Express, a small)
  • I tried to affect the timeout of negotiating SSL 12000ms, as it is mentioned in the KB, but the problem is still there
  • vpxa service is running on the host computer

  If you have advice, information, even the smallest one, please share it!

  Could this be a problem in version? A known issue with 6.0 ESXi and vCenter 5.5?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Yes, problem solved.

  My mistake was that I just add the network configuration of the ESXi domain suffix, but I did not actually Add the ESXi host at the estate, with the permission of the administrator of the domain. (Now, it seems so obvious...)

  So I had to plug directly into the host ESXi via Vsphere (in my case Windows), go to the configuration tab and add the host to the domain.

  After that, everything went well.

  Thanks again Andrew for your help on this!

  Nice day

• Unable to connect to the host to vCenter

  I get the following message is displayed after attempting to connect to a host to vCenter.  The host was previously connected to the vcenter and changed its host name.  She has been removed from vCenter.  Now, it may not be readded.  Here is the message:

• How can I change the licenseManager focus to be a host when it is connected to a vCenter Server

  I used the software VMware Perl SDK.

  I wrote a script to host license request.

  When I connect directly to a host, I'm able to query that host ESX (i) of the licence, if it is in evaluation mode or not. I am happy with this feature.

  When I connect to a vCenter server, I want to be able to change the direction of licenseManager to a specific host. How can I do this?

  for example:

  My $service_content = Vim::get_service_content();

  My $license_manager = Vim::get_view (mo_ref = > $service_content-> licenseManager);

  With the code above, when I me lorsque je me connecte connect to vCenter, the focus is on the vCenter Server licenses and there all licenses.

  I would like to be able to focus on a particular host. How do I do that?

  I played a little more and I found that I can use the QueryAssignedLicenses sub and directly to the host target.

  Continuing my code from my original post

  My $target_host_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type-online 'HostSystem', filter-online {name-online 'ESXiHOST'});

  licenseAssignmentManager);

  My = $license_assignment_manager $assigned_licenses-> QueryAssignedLicenses (entityId-online $target_host_view-> summary-> host-> value);

  $assigned_licenses will now be an object array with your assigned license.

  Because there is an a table object, you can also do:

  my $license = @{$assigned_licenses} [0]-> assignedLicense;

  And you can display items such as:

  Print $license--> name. "\n";

  Print $license--> licenseKey. "\n";

  Hello, MrVmware9423-

  It seems that this may have to do with the .NET Framework is installed on the computer on which you run PowerShell/PowerCLI.  Take a look at http://communities.vmware.com/message/2174319 - users have been able to solve the problem with a newer version of the .NET Framework (v2, installed v3.5 - success).

  Because your problem seem (you use a? 2 version of .NET, and you're able to install a newer version)?

• Cannot add 6.0 ESXi host to vCenter 6.0

  Hi guys,.
  I'm having a problem where I can not add any ESXi 6.0 host to vCenter 6.0. I can add an ESXi 5.5 without problem.

  I have the error that I get in the vpxd log is:

  Found the problem as vCenter 6.0 version I was running. I was running an older version of the VC and the current version of ESXi.
  Downloaded the current version and reinstalled and all good.

• Cannot add the ESX 6.0 host to vCenter Server 6.0

  OK, I'm testing laboratory a vsan 6.0 cluster.

  I have my running 6.0.0 esx hosts and vcenter server is 6.0.0 also.

  I have the services platform on a virtual machine and vcenter on another. I was able to create a data center, then a cluster below.

  Then I went to try to add a host to my group and I get this error...

  Failed to contact the specified host (hostname\IP). The host may not be available on the network, may have a network configuration problem, or that the management on this host services may not respond.

  
  

  Per this KB: KB VMware: Add a host VMware ESXi/ESX from VMware vCenter Server fails

  
  

  I confirmed that my vcenter server and platform services server can see all esx hosts. From the vcenter server, it can ping the host esx and PuTTY can access all of them. I even installed the client and it can connect to all esx hosts. I used the netbios name, IP and FULL domain name and they all work.

  I have only a single subnet, so this isn't a problem. DNS resolution works in all areas of both sides, vcenter esx hosts and host esx to vcenter.

  
  

  I am quite puzzled.
  

  
  

  
  

  OK, after working with VMware on this issue, I think that I thought about it.

  All my hosts are DL360 G6 servers.

  My hosts are run the same build «VMware-ESXi-6.0.0-2494585-HP-600.9.2.38-Mar2015.iso» ESX Downloaded from HP.

  All buildings are in trial mode.

  After placing a call to VMware, they had me build some ESX VM, the services of the platform and the vcenter VM on an ESX host. We suspended because it took all day to go upward.

  Once I woke up all the parts (sql server, esx vm, server platform & vcenter) in virtualization nested, I created my data center, then Cluster then added the ESX host.

  The hosts added properly, no error. Then I remembered when I installed ESX inside a virtual machine, I am angry that the iso, I had the habit of HP does not work in my VM nested due to virtualized hardware.

  Then a fire came into my head. We will rebuild all of the physical cluster but NOT use the CV provided the iso file but use VMware provided iso file "VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 6.0.0 - 2159203.x86_64.iso".

  I did it today. I have rebuilt all hosts with the provided iso file VMware ESX...

  Spun SQL Server vCenter, service platform, all VM VM VM you need. My AD & DNS VM are on another server, so he has been upwards all the time.

  Connected to the web interface (yuck!).

  Created my data center...

  Created my Cluster...

  Add all my Cluster hosts.

  All of this worked!

  Therefore, if you encounter the same problem, I'm plan to generate your with the provided iso file VMware ESX hosts and try it. In my case, the provided HP iso file didn't work properly for me.

  I also downloaded the iso file of HP 2 other times to make sure and do a validation test and it did the same thing.

• Cannot add ESXi host to vCenter Server

  Hello

  I created a home set up a VMware datacenter for study purposes. I currently have 2 virtual machines: an ESXi host with vCenter Server Appliance deployed on this subject.

  I configured the server vCenter through web interface device and I have connected using vSphere Client.

  I created a data center, but when I try to add a host, I get "ERROR: the request exceeded."
  Connection with vSphere client directly to the ESXi host works.

  I can connect using SSH to the ESXi host.

  I have disabled the firewall on the ESXi host.

  I have read many articles on the kbase but nothing helped me to solve this problem.

  You have any ideas?

  I finally got to understand.

  It seems like my vmware workstation is not connected to the esxi as a physical host in my local network host, and so I was able to ping it unit of vCenter Server (but it worked the other way around, and that's why I thought it was ok).

  After the connection to the physical LAN of VMware workstation settings, everything worked fine.

• Unable to add previous hosts to vCenter device

  Greetings.  We are migrating our guests to new hardware.  We had three hosts for running ESXi 5.5.0 - 1331820 with the vCenter device on one of them.  Everything worked well.  In the process of moving virtual machines around, vCenter device has been deleted (intentionally).  We recreated the device of the OVA 5.5.0.5201 vCenter and ran through the Installation Wizard as previously.

  Now, when you add one of the existing hosts to vCenter, it finds the host and displays information.  When the user clicks on finish, it works quickly up to 80% and the host appears, and then disconnects.  The log shows: add host independent, added host, unable to connect host computer in the data center; connection error host, removed in the data center.

  The error showing is: cannot communicate with the specified host (x.x.x.x). The host may not be available on the network, may have a network configuration problem, or that the management on this host services may not respond.

  
  

  Now the stupid thing is that we can not even add the host on which the vCenter unit is on.  In addition, all hosts and vCenter unit are on the same network of management.  There is no firewall doesn't block all ports.  I read through a lot of the display of the Knowledge Base, and most is in regards to incorrect IP addresses or ports blocked or similar.  I checked through everything and could not find anything wrong.

  
  

  Last thing is that we amazed the ESXi host that had the vCenter device on it and re-installed 5.5.0 - 1623387 ESXi (version a little more recent than before) and reinstalled the that vCenter device exactly as before.  Now we can add that the host but still cannot add other hosts.  So it appears the issue is something with the hosts and not the device vCenter. 

  
  

  Anyone have any ideas?
  

  I run in to the same kind of problems with other factors.

  FWIW, have you tried the following in this order? 1 stop the vpxa on host, 2 service. Stop the service vmware-vpxd on the vcenter server, 3. Start the vmware-vpxd on the vcenter server, 4 service. Start the serivce vpxa on the host. Then try to add.

• Cannot add host to vCenter server as data store is shared with an existing host to vCenter

  Recently, I removed a physical host to a virtual appliance of vCenter Server and am not able to add it to vCenter Server because I get an error message on the existing data store.  I run a simple server vCenter environment with two physical hosts and shared storage.  I've only been administering vCenter for a few months, so I'm relatively new on the technology and processes.  I searched the Internet for a few days now, but have not found documentation everyone has the same problem I have (which I find strange considering the simplicity my problem and configuration), so I tried to get help from the community of VMware.

  I received an error message a day this vCenter Server cannot connect to either of the two hosts so I removed the host (rather than disconnect and plug as I should have done).  Now, I am not able to connect to the host to vCenter server because the shared storage data store comes into conflict with the same data store used by the host in vCenter Server.  I get the error message is ' "Datastore"datastore_name"is in conflict with a store of data that exists in the data center which has the same URL (ds: / / / vmfs/volumes/UUID /), but is supported by different physical storage." "  I try to remove the host data store, but get the following error message: "resource" data store name: datastore_name VMFS uuid: UUID' is in use. ".  The error stack said: "'HostStorageSystem.UnmountVmfsVolume' call failed for object 'storage system' on ESXi"IP address"."  Cannot unmount volume ' data store name: datastore_name VMFS uuid: 'UUID' because the file system is busy. Correct the problem and retry the operation. "I tried to delete all virtual machines of the inventory, put the hosts in maintenance mode, restart physical hosts, but none of my troubleshooting contributes.

  I don't know what steps to take to get this data store driving with the host so that I can add it in vCenter Server.  You can provide me with any help is appreciated.

  Good thing you already moved the VMs on.  For what is 'disconnect', 'remove' or 'delete' might work anyway.  You should maybe put the host in maintenance mode or even reboot the host before you can remove data warehouses.  In an extreme case, I even had to remove the host and the hypervisor installed completely rebuild on the spot.  It is not that difficult or does not take long to reinstall, so be not afraid on this subject.  A clean reinstall could still save time compared to the deletion of data warehouses.

• Upgrade 5.0 ESXi host w / vCenter on it

  Hi people, forgive me if this isn't in the right place. Finally move the update and patches of my three hosts ESXi 5.0 with Update Manager. I was quite easily able to update two of my guests with managers to upgrade to a more recent version, however puzzled on what to do with the host that hosts my vCenter on that server? We have VMware essentials if we do not have to use Vmotion. Is there an easy way to update this host without vCenter cloning and move to another host to update? Advice or tips or news to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and help!

  I guess your vCenter is on the shared storage - connect to the host of your power VM vCenter down the VM and remove from the inventory of the hosts - go to one of the hosts that has been already updated and add the virtual machine to inventory and run it - and now, you're ready to use the Update Manager to update host rest.

• Delete host to vcenter vcenter disappeared or no longer works

  So I completely messed up my camera vCenter and it no longer works. I tried to redploy a device by connecting directly to the host, and it does not work.

  How can I remove the host of reflection, it is managed by a unit of vCenter, while on the host? In other words, without access to the device of vCenter but rather by connecting to the host using vclient?

  Don't have seen this before. When you use the vClient to connect directly to the host, on the summary screen, there is a link at the bottom right that says something like "Unlink this host to vCenter Server." I clicked it and it seems to work. I hope that I have no problem in the long term.
