"Convert a model" in the web client

In vSphere client one of the default options for a VMguest is to "convert a model."

I use it a lot, I have a couple of models, after a few weeks/months I convert a VM + updated everything what is necessary + convert model.

The conversions back are almost instantaneous.

With the web client, I can convert an existing model to become a virtual machine, but I can't find the option "convert to a model.

This means that if I want to update a model, I find myself with a long process of "clone model" and plus my original CD VM is left behind, requires me to remove it to clean the models folder.

If this option is not added, or have I missed something obvious?

If indeed, it is not available, does anyone know why it's been left in the first place?

Thanks in advance,

Mark

The option convert to model in the vCenter Web Client should be available in the "All actions of vCenter" section as shown in the attached picture. (This is the Web Client 5.1).

  • Just improved 5.0 to 6.0u2 vcenter.  How do eliminate you the web client certificate error?

    We were a vSphere 5.0 shop for many years and enjoyed the client c# 4.0, 4.1 and 5.0 then days.  We just upgraded 6.0 Update 2 this week and although always, we are primarally used to the c# client and will use it for a while to come, I am getting used to the web client for the new features that are available only in it, such as SRM and VR.

    I was able to click through the numours of screens of reminder to get via Firefox after all these certificate warnings and even easier just click the one or two things in Chrome or IE to get in.  But how could eliminate total certificate errors?  Example, now I'm with Chrome, but the https:// in the address bar is red with a slash through it.

    In most all other device based on web or connection we have, as HP iLO, Dell iDrac etc... usually, we create a CSR on this device and it present our internal Windows certificate authority and recover a file to go back to the device.  Is it possible to do this with the web client?  We have a certificate of 'Server Web 2' model that generates the sha256 return certificate and inherently all field devices to trust him because the area is important our root certificate authority.

    Also, we are running services such as replication vSphere and SRM, I would not change certificate affects only or same vSphere Update Manager.  We have two sites HQ and DR.

    I ended up getting rid of the cert errors by following this page: 6 replacement vSphere SSL certificate / implementation by using the Certificate Manager-automation tool

    I followed the procedures for "Certificate of Machine (Reverse HTTP Proxy) replace with certificate custom" and just that.  I didin 't' t mess with root VMCA with custom signature certificate certificate because its seems to me like he wanted to do an endless number of the signature of the certificate request and keys.  But the first option considered for our internal Windows CA took care of her.

    For replication of vSphere 6.1.1 that I had to turn off the virtual devices from replication via customer web vSphere vSphere and then put them back on.  Then connect to their URL of web management (port 5490) and make the reconnection to the vsphere on the connection tab, where he was invited to accept the new certificate.

    For AUVS I had to run the VMwareUpdateManagerUtility.exe under C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\Infrastructure\Update Manager and to the third option of re - register to vCenter, and then restart the service.

    Surprisingly, SRM sites remained paired although I've read that some people have trouble with it.  I'm on 6.0 update 2 and I think one of the questions was fixed in 6.0 Update 1 b.

  • Folders that I create in Thunderbird do not arise outside of Thunderbird (on the web client for my emails)

    Hello

    It's my first post because I can usually find supported using google, but I can't see any advice on this.

    Lets say I create a folder and name it 'sites' in Thunderbird, I created a rule for every email I get from stores online on their promotions go in this folder, so they do not distract the important emails, but I can view them later if I want.

    When I then log in my account outlook through their web client or if I check on my phone (which is where I'm mainly going through emails), the folders that I created in Tbird, do not show on my phone or the email provider webclient.

    I tried logging in and out of my web client and Tbird but records do not update, they remain in the Tbird but do not show in the web client or on my phone, which means that I can not read the messages held except when I home on Tbird.

    I appreciate your response.

    When your problem has been fixed, please mark the thread as "resolved".
    Thank you.
    Have a complete backup of your profile folder is strongly recommended in all cases.

  • Why can't I see hosts/guests in my vCenter while I can see them in the Web Client vSphere?

    Hello

    IM new to VmWare\PowerCLI.  The goal is to get a list of VM guests in a vCenter via PowerCLI.  I can see 80 guests when I connect via the Web Client vSphere, but when I use the PowerCLI cmdlets, a Get-VMHost returns nothing.  I did the following:

    1 connect-VIServer the username-password IluvVmWare myserver.acme.com-acme\BigDog connects fine without error.

    2. $defaultviserver | Select * shows me the default connection properties.

    3 get-data center shows me 2 data centers; DC1 and DC2

    4 get-DataCenter DC1. Get-VMHost returns nothing

    5 get-VMHost returns nothing

    6 get-vmhost-Server myserver.acme.com returns nothing

    What I do wrong with PowerCLI so I can't get a dump of the hosts on the vCenter?  I can see them all in the vSphere Web Client, so permissions seem fine.

    It looks like that there.

    You must speak with the vCenter admin I guess.

    More simple would you give permissions to view read-only on the vCenter and let this authorization to spread.

    Out of curiosity, this shows the VMHostname?

    Get - VM | Select Name,@{N='VMHost'; E={$_. VMHost.Name}}

  • NetApp VSC v6.1 UI is missing from the Web Client v6.0u1

    I recently updated my vCenter Server 5.5 to v6.0u1 (2k12r2 for Windows with backend SLQ 2012). With that I installed a fresh instance of Virtual Console storage NetApp v6.1. All was working perfectly until I've restarted the vCenter after about 2 weeks of operation of the new version. After you restart the gui NetApp VSC and features were missing completely on the web client. The plugin has always shown as active in the webclient service is, however, no GUI. Strangely when I try to disable the plugin from the web client, it refreshes and remains only set as active.

    In heavy client, the icon was always present, however with the new version (6.1), no functionality can be achieved through this and you are just re-directed toward the Web Client of VMware. Backups were still underway at the scheduled time, even if the plugin was not visible in the Web Client.

    I tried the following:

    The re-registration plugin

    -Stop webclient VC services, stripping any trace of com.netapp* of the VMware folder of the directory (program files and program data). Mainly located in the folder of vSphere-Client-serenity

    -Departure VC web customer service

    -Re-enrollment VSC with VC

    All the re - install

    -Stop services of VC

    -Stripping any trace of com.netapp* of the VMware folder of the directory (program files and program data)

    -Stop services VSC

    -Do a complete uninstall

    -Remove the VSC installation directory

    -Reboot server VSC to delete reg keys

    -Install the new copy of VSC 6.1

    Re-record with the VC Server

    The same question is observed. The plugin shows as being installed. The extension "com.netapp.nvpf.weblient" exists in the breast of the https://< vCenter > / mob. (see attached screenshot). The thick client still shows the plugin as permitted, as the web client. I still cannot see the interface user via the web client despite the plugin is installed and activated.

    Tear out my hair with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Guys,

    An update on this issue, it could be useful to resolve any other issues similar and research...

    After 4months our case eventually made its way to the development of the web client team in VMware. The problem has been identified as a corrupted file in vCenter which is responsible for organizing the status "enabled/disabled' plugins customer web. Difficulty as follows:

    "C:\ProgramData\VMware\vCenterServer\data\vSphere Web Client\SerenityDB\serenity\ALL\client.package.states.

    The solution was: -.

    • Delete the file
    • Open customer vcentre, administration, plugins
    • Disable a random plugin (this forces the State file recreate)
    • Exit vcentre and then reopen
    • Plugins should now be visible
    • Customer goto plugins and re - turn that which has been previously disabled

    Good luck guys, it was a serious pain in the ass

  • Local storage shows as inactive in the web client

    Hello

    So I have a strange problem. On two of my guests, local storage shows as inactive in vCenter. I can access it without problem and there seems to be problems, but it is a bit concerning to see the alert whenever I am connected.

    Capture.PNG

    However, when I checked in the thick client this error is not there. It is only in the web client for a reason any. I tried to restart the management agents, update storage adapters, and a new analysis of storage, but it has not changed.

    No idea what can be the cause and if it's something to worry about?

    Thank you!

    Please reboot the host and see again in the Web Client.

  • Single sign-on using the Web client

    Dear all,

    I improved our Vcenter server to 6.0 5.5. All right. After having access to the Web client the first time with IE11 I downloaded and installed the plugin for integration of customer. But whenever I start the web client, I can't see the link «Download the integration plugin» customer It seems that the login page does not detect the plugin of integration already installed. I checked it and the plugin for integration is really installed on the machine. It is the same when I use Firefox to access the web client. It's a machine Windows Pro 8.1

    Also the tick mark 'Use windows session authentication' is grayed out. I can connect with my windows login credentials.

    Is there a chance to fix it? I uninstalled the plugin for integration of client to version 5.5.

  • performance of the 6.0 POS device in the web client.

    I use the unit of POS 6.0 (6 to) for about a week now. I started adding backups more & more.

    I find the very poor performance of the web client, especially when he's working on backups. In the 'Reports' section, sometimes it takes 10 to 15 minutes on "Loading of the report data" just to see failed or parties constituting the jobs.

    The installation was made with all default values, 4CPU & 10 GB of ram on the x 3650 IBM & IBM DS3500 M4 hosts attached fiber SAN. Disk performance tests all passed.

    Is this normal? The RAM can be increased, and would it be useful? It is almost unusable.

    Thank you.

    So my problem was solved after a long support call with VMWare support.

    The performance of navigation in the section of POS in the web client are now perfect.

    Call technical support and mention VDPGUIPatch.zip. This is the file that must be connected to the POS device.

  • VRO v6.01 installation but not displayed in the web client

    I'm having trouble with a clean install, not appearing is not in the Web Client, and I hope someone here can help you.

    I built my house with vSphere Lab 6 now it's GA, and after sunrise vCenter and run, I thought I'd have a look at the latest and Orchestrator (v6.0.1). I have deployed the OVF very well (I used the GUI client such as web client and their tools of 'integration' are all except) and entered the web configuration portal. I finished the tab "vSphere infrastructure" (SSL, authentication SSO, licensing, registration vCenter) who has successfully completed (according to the display messages).

    However, when I go into the tab Orchestrator WebClient service where no server is listed and no workflow is available. I checked the plugin vCenter client is enabled (under Administration > Solutions > Client Plug-ins) and I also tried to register through the client GUI Orchestrator and 'Add a vCenter Server' and 'Save a vCenter Server' workflows running both successfully completed. Still no luck.

    Any ideas how I can get registered with vCenter Orchestrator (I use the VCSA) or if I start troubleshooting? Good to check logs files?

    Thank you

    Ed.

    OK, if you see that the "get started page", this means the plugin vRO has not been downloaded and deployed in vSphere Web Client.

    In 6.x, the binary plug-in are hosted on server vRO and vSphere Client Web downloads and deploys it. How the plugin site is discovered is the URL extension of the VC.

    The first thing to check if if the URL is valid and the plug-in can be downloaded from it. Open the managed object browser, and then clicks ExtensionManager -> "com.vmware.vco" extension-> client -> url. Its value must be something like https://vcoip:8281/vco/vsphere-web-client/vco-plugin.zip. Open this URL in a browser and verify that the downloaded ZIP file.

    If the ZIP file can be downloaded without problem, check the file of newspaper Web Client vSphere (vsphere_client_virgo.log) traces associated with failed to download plugin (you can find the name of the vco-pluginfile).

    If there is nothing associated with vco-plugin in the papers then maybe vSphere Web Client not attempted to download it. I think he's looking for plug-ins at startup, then you can try to restart the Web Client vSphere (in the device, it is named vsphere client , so you can restart it with the command "restart service - vsphere client").

    In addition, you can try to connect to Web Client vSphere with the admin user, then go to Administration -> plugins customerand click on the search of new plug-ins link.
