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.

  • 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.

    Thank you.

    Hi all

    We are able to go beyond the question of the installation. We did the capture of packets on both ends and discover that the reset was issued the installer by the licensing vCenter service running on the PSC.

    We have also created firewall rules more 18 altogether since the server vcenter for our f5 load balancing program, then 6 VIP of the F5 on the two controllers on duty Platform.

    I hope this helps other people who sought to install PSC in HA mode.

  • Cannot connect to the vcenter until 10 minutes after the vcenter server computer starts

    I get the unable to connect to remote server message in vsphere client when I try to connect the server vcenter. However if I wait more than 10 minutes, I can properly connect to the vcenter server.

    Is there something wrong with it?

    And I wonder if the competent services to process the requests of connection on the vcenter server are not started immediately from the start?

    Where is installed your database? On the same box of vCenter server? If so, change the other boot option that delayed may not work because your vCenter will try to start before the database is online.

  • Changing the DNS server for ESX hosts?

    Our network administrator will change the IP address of the DNS server.  In this way, we will change those corresponding to ESX hosts.

    We would like to know

    (1) can we change the DNS server on execution of the ESX hosts without going into maintenance mode?

    (2) under what circumstances the ESX host will do use DNS servers?

    (3) memory, we should add all the IP addresses of ESX host in the hosts file in the Service Console, where is this hosts file located at?

    Thank you

    Tony,

    Use "service network restart" command to restart the network service

    Do not forget also that...

    Very dependent on DNS HA, HA will not work without the correct DNS configuration. The servers ESX and vCenter server must be able to resolve the name (FQDN full) / IPs in both feel to get a working HA.

  • Should I reset the FPGA FFT when changing the input signal?

    Hello

    I have an application based FlexRIO where I do FFT on several incoming signals. The signals will be ranked so that I get first for example 4096 samples of Ch1 and Ch2 4096 samples, etc. This means that I don't have to do it in parallel of the FFT and I would like to reuse the implementation of FFT and windowing to reduce the use of resources.

    I intend using the VI Express followed by the Express VI of FFT window scaling

    http://zone.NI.com/reference/en-XX/help/371599J-01/lvfpga/fpga_scaled_window/

    http://zone.NI.com/reference/en-XX/help/371599J-01/lvfpga/fpga_fft/

    and I'll use them inside a SCTL.

    This figure comes from the section using the FFT and help illustrate the issue:

    There is a discount to zero terminal for the fenestration and the FFT VI.

    Are there internal registers in the windowing and FFT which force the image 1, image 2,... from the same signal or is it possible for the first entry in a framework of Ch1, the next frame belonging to Ch2, Ch3 gaze and so on and always get reliable results?

    Another way to ask the same question: if I have to reset the window and FFT when changing the input signal?

    Thank you

    Anders

    Hi Cyphish,

    When using the FFT of the LabVIEW FPGA vi express and windows nationwide express vi calculations are make it point by point so there will be no problem when going through different types of measures. Therefore, you should have no problem with your application.

  • Win2k3 Server IIS SChannel event 36871 "a fatal error occurred when creating the SSL server credential information."

    To make a long story short, I went to use client software that I use a few times a week and it would not connect to the server, complaining not found or number of SSL.  When research various dcom, schannel errors errors in the event logs and a few others, I systematically over the last 24 hours cleared up the boot is so now clean (no time starting network on startup and no message on the service could not start).  It seems that something has happened a month ago after that the server crashed where at least the first DCOM messaged presented themselves, but everything has been working well until it didn't.  The dcom patches end up having to do with the ...\rsa\machinekeys (and the way that it) had a few "account unknown" in it, I cleaned everything that (at a time since I removed all items in this folder, but then put their subsequent return (by crushing all except 2 after creating a new certificate), had to reinstall virtual server and iis 6) , at some point as well.  In any case, I'm at the point where everything works (no event log errors/etc) from startup until you try to connect to the IIS 6 Server using https:... at this point, you get the event SChannel 36871 "a fatal error occurred when creating the SSL server credential information." (no additional information) is connected and the client browser cannot access the site (you can keep trying and it does not work but no event log entry more).  So that's where I'm sitting, http: works fine, https: No.  Certificate appears in the default Web site correct, said valid and possesses the private key, port 443 is there, all addresses by default, netstat shows port 443 same process id as the port 80.  I can't find a copy of SSLDiag do test to see if that prove something?

    So I need help what is not going to get this new job of fixing.  What should I do?

  • How can I avoid losing image changes I've already done when changing the name of a folder?

    How can I avoid losing image changes I've already done when changing the name of a folder? Whenever I have change a folder name (after having published images), Lightroom "updates" the images in this folder and any changes I've made have disappeared!

    Thanks for the update.

    This isn't the correct workflow.

    When you rename a folder outside of Lightroom, it causes the link between this issue and Lightroom to be broken and images will be missed in the Lightroom Catalog

    and if you re-import them same images after that, it will import the original images and not the changes

    Lightroom does not store the original images it contains. It works on the previews and the changes you make are stored only in Lightroom.

    So, you have to rename or move this folder in Lightroom instead of doing outside so that you do not lose your changes.

    To rename a folder, select the folder name in the library module > right click / Control click and select Rename folder.

  • Locking ESXi 4.1 mode access confirmation no access to the vCenter Server

    Hello

    ESXi 4.1.  I see options in conflict with access to a crowd that had lockdown normal mode activated via a server vCenter VM on a host in the cluster.  The vCenter server that sits on one of the hosts in the cluster lockeddown then became inaccessible or unresponsive connectivity wise.  So no connectivity between vCenter VM or VM vCenter and hosts.  Is someone can confirm if you can connect to this host lockedown by DCUI with root and disable lockdown configuration to allow the vSphere client to then connect to the host with root and troubleshoot the server vCenter VM?

    I read in some messages that this is only possible if the vCenter VM is in place and the communication to the host.  I also read that it is possible no matter what the State of the vCenter server once Total lockdown (disabling DCUI) is not enabled.

    I have this reference of the 'The new lock in ESXi 4.1 Mode' blog http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2010/09/the-new-lockdown-mode-in-esxi-41.html

    "With active locking Mode, the only direct access to the host that remains open is through the DCUI. This allows to perform administrative tasks limited outside vCenter Server, such as restarting the management agents and the display of the log files. In addition, you can also disable Mode of Lockdown since the DCUI. This can be useful if vCenter Server is down or unavailable, and you want to return to a direct management of the host. Normally, without locking Mode, any user to the Administrator role can open a session in the DCUI.  However, in lock Mode, the root password is necessary; no other user can connect.

    Can anyone confirm.

    Any other person who may not be sure these questions, I can confirm that with root credentials, you can connect to the host directly and disable the lock mode regardless of the availability of vCenter.  Only if the Total lock mode turned on, or should I say DCUI is disabled, then you have no choice but to go through vCenter or reinstall and reconfigure the network.  VM would be always available if local or have to be reassembled and re inventoried etc.
