• Clone between data centers and through the firewall?

  I have a VC that manages 8 virtual data centers.  Some of these data centers are on a dish network, and some are in a demilitarized zone.  Even if the storage is NOT shared between data centers, I am able to clone a VM between data on food networks centers but I cannot clone between a data center on a dish network and the other in a demilitarized zone.

  Is there a specific port that must be open to clone through a firewall, or I wouldn't be able to do this.

• Is it possible to migrate ESXi host between data centers, if so please provide a brief not

  Hi friends,

  1. is it possible to migrate ESXi host between data centers, if so please provide a brief walking distance.

  2 can we perform vMotion and Storage vMotion while ESXi is turned on.

  3. is it possible to extend the VMDK disk while it integrates snapshots in it.

  Best regards,

  Sirot Vijay

  Yes the vmotion and svmotion works but one by one.

  1 - vmotion is posssible to power on State, but you can't svmotion the vm simultaneously. The storage will remain same

  2 svmotion is also possible to power on the State, but you cannot vmotion virtual machine simultaneously. the host will remain the same.

  3 vmotion and svmotion is possible together when the vm is off power. the host and storage can be changed simultaneously on this State.

• Heart rate between data centers

  Hello

  I made a VMware installation only when we have two datacenters with a host and a disk on each data center system, vi have 2 x 4 GB FC between data for the availability of the storage centers and we have 2 x 1 Gbit L2 connections between data (network, vmotion and HB) centers.

  Now my problem is pulsation HA making only redundant you normally just add two natachasery to the switch, but in my case I need to run my heart rate on two different VLANS to ensure that it also works on different connections between data centers.

  If I just add another service console and configure a new vlan with default gateway, dose anyone know if it will work?

• Splitting licenses between data centers

  Question about licenses for separation between the data centers

  EXAMPLE OF

  License is good for 30 CPU; s

  DC-1

  host one gets 2

  host b gets 2

  c host gets 2

  DC - 2

  host a get 4

  host b get 4

  DC-3

  host a get 8

  host b gets 8

  Perfectly legal or?

  Also - if you have 20 2 CPU licenses can we swap to 1 20 CPU license? Actually more simple license management.

  From a technical point of view, you can combine or divide licenses required in your My VMware portal. However, there may be legal restrictions, such as the use of licenses in the regions and counties other than where the licenses were purchased.

• VMotion between data centers

  We are constructing a new environment VI 3.5 that will match our new approved conformity existing SOPS all of the virtual machine in the environment will have to be moved off the power as soon as the new cluster\datacenter is built.  I am trying to determine the practical way of best\most to do - what I'm basically not clear is if I can migrate a virtual machine between 2 data centers or not.

  Any help on how best to do that is very appreciated-

  Steve

  wouldn't that be nice.  You can always stop the virtual machine and a cold migration.

• Move VM between data on the same vCenter centers

  Hey all the...

  With a virtual machine off, I'm migrating a VM between data centers in the same vCenter. There is no shared storage, different networks to the destination host. The user interface works (caveat about the missing shows destination network), yet move-vm does not work between data centers.

  By train: move-vm - vm test-20150309 - destination esx1 datastore - datastore1, I get the error:

  Move-vm: 09/03/2015-14:48:20 Move - VM Destination container must be in the same data center.
  On line: 1 char: 1
  + move-vm - vm test-20150309 - destination esx1. ...

  + FullyQualifiedErrorId: Client20_VmHostServiceImpl_CheckMoveVmParameters_InvalidDatacenter, VMware.VimAutomation.
  ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.MoveVM

  The manual States -Destination can be file, host, cluster etc... As the hosts AND records are bound by data centers, I guess it must know the new host & the new folder. I tried to use - destination twice, and I've tried - destination host, folder.

  Move-VM: cannot bind parameter because the 'Destination' is specified more than once. To provide several parameter values that can accept multiple values, use the table syntax. For example, '-parameter value1, value2, value3 ".

  Move-VM: missing an argument for the parameter "Destination." Specify a parameter of type 'VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Types.V1.Inventory.VIContainer' and try again.

  I used PowerCLI 5.8 and tried on 5.0 and 4.0 vCenter.

• copy root alarms in multiple data centers

  Hello.

  I try a few scripts, read some discussions and Web sites, but have to meet our needs without success.

  We have vcenter 5.0 with some data centers, where some of them have esx cluster and some of them have independent esx hosts.

  We create new alarms to run external scripts. everything works very well and now we want to our more granular alarms on each of our data center. to copy these alarms will be the easy way.

  I don't want to make new manual alarms and the alarm on the root.

  what I need is a handy script that copy three alarms to the root (or the folder hidden data center) to all data centers but two of them and optionally disable this three alarms in root.

  I try LucD 'alarms-move-them-around', some variants of this and other scripts, but ends up with a lot of mistakes that I don't understand.

  The PowerCLI Version: VMware vSphere PowerCLI 5.0 build 435427

  Thank you!

  with the help of lucd I arrived to our needs. I have attached the script to work (while you need not read all messages)

  Online 70 that you can put in the alarms to copy to all other domain controllers in the connected vcenter and change line 69 for domain controllers that you don't need.

  and thanks again to the Holy lucd

• Clone a model on multiple data centers

  So here's the scenario:

  In my vcenter, there are two data centers. In a Datacenter (B), that we have our systems development and the other data center (A) are our production environments. Must often make a clone of a (B) VM and clone a VM (A) through. We have a process of the method we use to move our VMs. I'm powerCLI throughout the process in order to save on some manual cloning time. This is our process:

  1 clone a VM (B) direct and take from the Datacenter (B) under the "DEV" folder, under this is a subfolder 'AppServer' where the virtual machine "DevAPP" exists and it a clone of this subfolder in another subfolder in 'AppServer' also called ' ~ DEV (B) to (a) staging of Clone.

  2. once the clone "Date of DevApp_today" is realized in the "~ DEV (B) to (a) staging of Clone" remove us the NIC 1 and then convert it to a template.

  3. once it is converted to a template with the name 'Date of DevApp_today' clone us over the back (B) data center "~ DEV (B) to a Clone (A) Organization" (A) record data center "(B) to (a) staging of Clone.

  4. once the 'Date of DevApp_today' model in the data center (A) convert us into a virtual machine and and add the NIC, assign VLAN appropriate and then activate connected to power on.

  5. once the network card on the virtual computer we then convert back to a model and deploy him 11 VMs with the customization files to configure the virtual machine.

  Most of the time steps 1 and 2 I can script fairly easily, and the 4 and 5, my biggest problem is step 3. What I've tried is by using the New-model command.

  Example: New-model -model 'Date of DevApp_today' -location a Datacenter in English (common name) VMHost - $HostA (a host in A data center) -data store $Data (storage in A data center) DiskStorageFormat - Thin -RunAsync-confirm: $false

  It works to get the center of data (B) (A) data center model, but he falls into the root of the data center (A). I know it's because in - place I put 'A' there, but I do not know in any case to decompose from there to drill down to the data center (A) subfolders. If I put the subfolder "(A) (B) (a) staging of Clone" it's all just a stink about how I already have a template of this name and it must be cloned in the same data center. Meanwhile once it reaches the root of (A) I have just run a Move inventory on the template to move to "(B) to (a) Clone staged."

  I have necessarily need a whole script created for me, I just want to know how to move the model obtained in (B) (a) without him having to be abandoned in the root (A), move inventory

  Not sure about the quotes or not, but may be necessary

• How do copy you files from model between ipads?

  I am trying to copy a computer between two iPads file but nothing seems to work. Surely, this must be possible?

  Hi Eric,.

  Your Comp CC projects must automatically synchronize between iPads (you just have to be logged in at the same time with the same Adobe ID). Are you signed in the two iPads with the same Adobe ID?

• Using CLI, I would clone a virtual machine between different data centers

  Hello!!

  We have two data centers.

  We want to clone a virtual of DataCenter1 to DataCenter2 machine.

  We cannot with vSphere.

  Does anyone know how we can do this? any idea?

  Thank you very much

  Jose.

  Cloning is a feature of vCenter Server, not a host ESX (i). You need to connect to vCenter, that's why you get the error because this operation is not supported in a host ESX (i)

• Using node NHP groups in multiple data centers

  Hello

  I was looking for information, I'll implement a distributed deployment of ISE.   We have two data centers, each will have its own group of PSN node (load balancing), I need a strategy where we can ensure that all the DNA do not point to a single group of PSN node.  In the config switch that I only noticed that the radius server registration option where first is referenced and secondary IP is used only if the primary Radius Server is unavailable.  We have many sites of the direction we want to deploy ISE, we would like to distribute the RADIUS AuthC/AuthZ evenly between the two DC.

  Thank you

  -Amin

  Just so we are clear, ISE node groups did not-load balancing, you need a for this external load balancer. If you are actually using a balancer for each domain controller, then you might have half of your switches just manually use a vip for primary and secondary school, and the other half upside down. Also, if you use aaa server groups in your switch, you can also do a local switch 'balancing', based on the current session how are radius on each server in the group.

• Custom data centers

  I created several CDC that we use for the management of capacity, but recently noticed that it does not automatically update with the new groups added to the environment in. Does anyone know how I can get a CDC auto add new members in the area which I define as my CDC

  Here it is my CDC production and as you can see the new cluster its not added. It doesn't seem to be a parent object that I can select (in this case windows or linux) that will automatically add new groups

  

  Today, custom data centers do not have an automatic fill criteria are met that statically. However, I agree with you that it would be an advantage to have this capability, similar to the how custom groups to have rulesets. Others that the obvious benefits of Datacenter Custom ojcts be exploited with WLP capabilities, I use these global organizational construction groups of cluster for the analysis of high level. This high-level analysis is in the form of capacity planning, calculation, efficiency and so on. This cap of model capabilities are not present in custom groups (CGs simply show the distribution of the population), which make the data centres custom unique positions for the aggregation of CLuster and analysis without the need to be creative with the SMs and the views to try to make them 'cap-model-like.

• You can cluster consistency of data centers?

  We currently lack two separate groups of coherence in the different data centers. One is prod the other DR.

  Would it not possible for nodes in each cluster to create a cluster that spans two data centers? Then in a failover scenario data would be available.

  I know that pulse of nodes of coherence between them to keep the members of the classes and there is a TTL parameter to determine the life of package. Would have nodes in data centres resulting in pulses being missed or TTLs killing packages?

  Did anyone had success with this?

  Performance of coherence is related to the latency between the nodes. Having a single distributed cluster on 2 data centers might harm performance (some wait times might have to be changed to prevent the nodes from A data center to claim another node in datacenter B is out of scope/possibly dead).

  When you lose the network connectivity between 2 data centers (note I do not say "If you lose connectivity". This WILL happen), you are welcome in the 'world of split brain', each half of the grid to believe the other is dead and who claim to be the 'master '. And so if you have a replicated data on N nodes, master backups are sent back in each data center, performance for a few minutes (the time of course depends on many parameters...). And of course the data will no longer be synchronized between 2 data centers. The quorum must be thought out and stuff like that...

  I could be wrong, but as far as I know I'd rather have 2 separate groups. I think 12.1 has new features to replicate the data the main grid to the Dominican Republic one, I was not through any new documentation.
