Create new vCenter and move the ESXi hosts

• Attempt vSwitch configuration change and now the ESXi host and virtual machines offline

  So I have no doubt, I have myself to blame for this one. I was trying to change my vSwitch from 100 Mbps to 1000 Mbps when an 'operation timed' error out jumps-to the top and my vCenter Server lost connection with my ESXi host. I tried to restart the host manually, but that did not help. The host is not the ping requests and all the virtual machines on that host are offline; None of them vMotion off to my other ESX Server.

  I tried to reconnect the host computer in vCenter, but it is obviously does not connect because it can't ping it. I logged the ESXi console and all the network settings appear to be correct. I'm used to connect to the ESX console where you can execute commands, but it's my first ESXi host, so I don't know what I can do.

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  If you had your management port and VMs on different vSwitches / NIC leave on framework would eliminate a false positive. As in your case the management port reportedly follows the cable / about speed, but the virtual machine network would be intact (and I'm assuming that your storage space as well).  In this case the VMs system would have worked very well even if the management port did not work.

• Firefox opens a new window and moves the active tab to it. How can I stop this?

  Has got several tabs open. Firefox has suddenly closed the tab I'm trying (this seems to happen when I'm scrolling) and puts in a new window, move the focus to a previously inactive tab. What a swell feature! How can I get rid of him?

  Firefox 3.5/6 versions have a feature called tabs.

  You can detach a tab in the current window and open in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.

  You can drag the tab to the tab bar in the original window to cancel this detachment.

• VM doesn't qutoboot upward after the restart of the ESXi host

  Hi all

  I environment, there is only a single Cluster. The Cluster has an ESXi host. all virtual machines including vCenter VM are resides on the ESXi host. When I reboot the host can all VM does not start?

  For comparison, there is a different environment, there are two Clusters (Cluster 1 and Cluster 2) in vCenter, Cluster 1 has two hosts ESXi Cluster 2 has only a single ESXi host. vCenter runs on the ESXi host residing in Cluster1.

  When I reboot the host residing in Cluster2, all virtual machines may start automatically.

  is that any expert can explain the difference? Why single environment can auto boot VMs when both of these environment has a host to the Cluster and cluster activate HA service?

  environments are executed at the ESX5.5.

  You will need to check the box allow VMS to start and stop automatically with the host system and then change the setting on the edit tab, and mention what needs to be done for each machine.

• Moving hosts to new vCenter and retaining current licences for guests

  I need to upgrade an environment vSphere 4.1 to 5.1u1. I plan to install a clean vCenter 5.1 and need to migrate hosts without interruption to the virtual machines. The way to remove the old vCenter may not be because it requires the host mode maintenance and VMs to be evacuated. What plan do is disconnect from the host and have the new vCenter appropriated. I will then possibly incoming days guests through VUM to 5.1u1.

  My question is when the new vCenter appropriates the hosts what will happen to the licensing of 4.1 esx/esxi hosts? Will be the current 4.1 esx/esxi licenses follow the hosts or will I have to add the esx/esxi through the client license? The new vCenter will be installed in trial mode until licenses can be provided for me.

  A second question is when the esxi hosts are upgrading to 5.1 and I did not upgrade licenses will guests enter a grace period until a license can be applied? I don't know how long the hosts were in trial mode, before 4.1 licenses applied so I assume every 60 days were used.

  With adding hosts to the new vCenter Server, the license key from the host server will be added to the repository of the vCenter Server license; Even if this is not the case you could simply add the current license key to the new vCenter Server manually. Just make sure that you do not use more CPU that purchased licenses.

  Once you upgrade the host, make sure you have the new license keys already available. As much as I know there is no evaluation period additional to the hosts upgraded who were running older versions of 60 days. The grace period of 14 days you mentioned applied to versions in ESX 3.x used FlexLM licenses (i.e. license files).

• Firefox stop working and I can't even open the profile page to create another profile and start the migration to a new profile, what to do now?

  I can't get firefox to respond - even to open. I tried the suggestion of support for the creation of a new profile, but the instructions are not working anymore so I can't create a new profile and test the system. I don't want to lose my info saved thanks to a re - install if I'm not even sure that it will work - if the data is corrupted. whatever that means.

  At a stand still...

  BTW - since I have to use IE even access this info I can't find the troubleshooting information below. It gets ridiculously more complicated that I never wanted him.

  Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox and won't lose bookmarks and history. Please follow these steps:

  1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
  2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
  3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
     • Windows:
       • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
       • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
     • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
     • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
  4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
     1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
     2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

• Change the ESXi host IP address

  Hello

  I have the following Setup for vSphere 4.1 and you must change the subnet:

  1 - host 1.0.0.1

  Host 2: 1.0.0.2

  Home 3 - 1.0.0.3

  vCenter - 1.0.0.99

  I need to move all my guests and my vCenter to a new subnet:

  1 - host 1.0.0.1

  Host 2: 1.0.0.2

  Home 3 - 1.0.0.3

  vCenter - 1.0.0.99

  I want to try a host first of so I moved all my virtual machines from the host 3.

  I can go on the pages of Configuration/network host and select Properties on the virtual switch containing VMkernel port of my network management - from there it seems that I can just change the network IP management settings. However, it is the right way to do it? I thought that the best thing to do is the following:

  1 disconnect the host vCenter

  2. connecting to the host directly using vSphere client

  3. change the IP address of the host management network

  4 reconnect to the host (using the new IP address of the host) using vCenter

  Should I switch to maintenance mode?

  The same operation can be performed on a host running VMs?

  Thank you

  Change the management IP has no impact on the virtual machines running on this host. To make a change of this nature, I often disable HA (either completely, or uncheck "Enable Host Monitoring" on the segment of HA configuration). This will ensure that the interruption in the availability of management so that the changes of property intellectual fires any sort of isolation HA event.

  HA, you should be able to make the change from the vSphere client attached to the host or vCenter. Just make sure that you have access to the consoles so you fubar the vSwitch and needed fix through tech support mode or the DCUI.

  You are afraid to have virtual machines on the host, if not in maintenance mode to evacuate VMs. It is not necessary.

  vCenter relies heavily on DNS, make sure that the new IP address reflects the input host DNS.

• "file > create new version" missing in the latest update to iTunes

  I used to use the Menu command file > create new version to convert the movies so that they will play on my 1st gen iPad. (The fact that he made them smaller was an added bonus).

  This function seems to be missing or moved in the last update. In its place is a Spartan function convert . If you hold down the option key, you can select «Convert to AAC...» ' which is useful in its own way, but what I'm looking for.

  Does anyone have an idea where the conversion of film went?

  Apple dropped this feature in the last update, because they think classic iPod is obsolete. But you can use the Handbrake or Apple Compressor to do the same job and then mark the files using MetaX or MetaZ, works for my 8th generation iPod classic.

• reinstalled itunes on new pc and all the songs are duplicated

  r

  I reinstalled iTunes on new pc and all the songs are duplicated. How can I delete everyone else?

  iTunes can create duplicates if the same content is added several times from outside the media folder when it is about to make copies of everything that is added to the library, or is added from an external drive that hosts the press kit that was disconnected during the launch of iTunes.

  Official notice of Apple on the duplicates is here: find and remove duplicates in your iTunes library. This is a manual process and article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as the lost coast and membership of playlist, or sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library as well as a removal and recycling the file will break all the others.

  Use MAJ > display > show items to reproduce exactly to display the duplicates because it is normally a selection more useful. You must manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sort the list by Date added can make easier select appropriate tracks, but it works better when executed immediately after the dupes were created.  If you have several entries in iTunes connected to a same file on the disk hard then don't not send to trash.

  Use my DeDuper script (Windows only) If you are not sure, do not want to do it by hand, or want to maintain ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this background thread , this post for detailed instructions and Please take note of the warning to back up your library before deduping.

  (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to temporarily view or CTRL + B to keep displayed.)

  The latest version of the script can put away the dead links as long as there is at least a double live to merge his stats and membership of the playlist and must deal wisely when the same file has been added through multiple paths.

• Update Server VC and 5.5 ESXi hosts to update 3 b (Build 3248547)

  I'm in vCenter Server 5.5 and 5.5 ESXi hosts.  Both are updated 3A, patched to version 201510001, which is the build 3116895.  I plan the upgrade of update 3 b (Build 3248547) and I'm a little confused on the question of SSLv3.

  I wonder if this point below ESXi55 U3b & VC 55U3b Known Issues applies to my config:

  ESXi does not automatically added to the inventory of the vCenter servers
  If you install an earlier version of vCenter Server and vSphere Update Manager for ESXi 5.5 updated 3B, then after the task of sanitation, ESXi does not automatically added to the VC inventory. Remediation process never gets done and ESXi State of connection in the VC inventory is presented as disconnected. Solution: When you restart ESXi after reorganization process is started, enable SSLv3 on ESXi (which is disabled by default). This will ensure that ESXi is added to the VC inventory automatically in minutes and sanitation as completed.

  If I'm reading things correctly, upgrade to vCenter Server to 3 b first and then upgrade the ESXi hosts, will avoid lost communication problems.  Can anyone confirm?

  It should be good if you update vCenter first.

  The problem is that pre - U3b vCenter 5.5 forces an SSLv3 connection when connecting to an ESXi host on port 443 (not the reverse). It does this, even if the host ESXi and vCenter SSL/TLS libraries actually support TLS 1.0 + since at least vSphere 4.0.

  So when you update one host to 5.5 U3b, the oldest vCenter again will try to force a connection SSLv3 that will fail, since SSLv3 has been disabled to the host. If you're updating vCenter, first of all, it will initiate a good TLS 1.0 + connection to more similar and updated hosts.

  Here is an explanation of the (pre - U3b) vCenter SSLv3 handshake behavior:

• Add the model mv directly from the ESXI host

  Hi gentlemen,

  I have a question:

  Is it possible to add a model from the ESXI host without using VCENTER?

  I browse to the data store and I select Add to the broom, but I get an error.

  Sort of to reach it without using VCENTER?

  The models are a unique feature of vcenter. You can try renaming the vm vmxt vmx file, this would allow to add the file as a virtual machine, not model.

  But anyway, you will not be able to use to deploy from model or the options you have for cela vcenter.
