• Tools for compliance

  I aim at the eventual compliance HIPAA and SOC 2.  Now, from a point of view tools I have only Nessus, an analysis tool.  Regarding the tools that I might need to invest in, what are the areas with the best tools in these areas that I need to watch, to have a shot at HIPAA + 2 SOC.

  Has anyone attempted to quantify the areas you need to buy tools or develop automated reports around in order to facilitate the process of driving towards standards compliance such as these and can help quantify what is needed as represented below?

  Area	Example of tool	What is the significance level/unimportance of compliance (recommended, Important, essential or exaggerated?)
  Analysis of ESXi hosts and vCenter Server and report results	Nessus (is that enough in itself to address the digitization or is another necessary tool?)
  Configuration management tool	(Manager Configuration of VMware, other?)
  Security Analytics for newspapers and events tool	(example, a newspaper preview more pack security or Splunk).
  Authentication tool / password vault	HyTrust or similar
  (add other sectors / tools I missed here...)

  Hello

  Re: Nessus

  It can be used but can see only a little of the Fifth, however, he sees your virtual machine environment. Compliance is really on the workloads. What they are and if what they indirectly affect. First, determine the extent of compliance.

  Re: Script

  However, it hits not really highlights. I intend to make it available somehow.

  Re: HIPAA

  Where are your workloads with respect to everything. In general, I would say that Yes, but how HIPAA is managed today? First check with your compliance people. Compliance is really on the workloads. What they are and if what they indirectly affect. First, determine the extent of compliance.

• Flex Builder for vCenter plug-in development

  Hello

  I use currently a version track Flex builder available for vCenter-Extension development. We do you use Flex if often, should I buy Flex builder (Flash Builder 4.6) license for the development of a plugin-vCenter. Ask yourself what are cost-benefit vs specifically for the development of vCenter plug-in that I can point to for justification to our society.

  Some of the tools provided by VMware are clean enough, such as the project creation wizard vSphere-Web-Client which has Flex-Plugin. This has a dependency on Flex/Flash builder?

  Thank you!

  (do not forget to post your vSphere Client Web plugin questions on this other forum dedicated to this platform):

  ( http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/developer/forums/vspherewebsdk?view=discussions&start=0)

  If you are developing a serious plugin I recommend to get the license of Flash Builder (or try a few days without it to see the difference).  As the doc to install SDK says:

  "Adobe Flash Builder is not required to compile Flex code (the Flex compiler is included with the Flex SDK, see how it is used by Ant scripts provided with examples of the software development kit), but you should install it to enjoy the debugger and have a better development of experience within Eclipse.

  The project creation wizard is an Eclipse plugin that does not rely on Flash Builder.

• Set up new network iSCSI for VCenter

  Originally when we configure our environment VSphere, that we could not have our network engineers set up a separate subnet for iSCSI traffic.  Now, I have this ability and plan configuration.  I will be using our maintenance window to make this change instead of driving through the sectoral approach.

  My questions are about what communication is necessary between the two subnets, if necessary.  I will bind to the vmk ESXi iSCSI on the new subnet and they are the separate vSwitches but I'm not clear if the two networks require that any communication on the VCenter server.  The management network and LAN traffic will remain where it is in my plan will and so one of the network adapters on each host ESXi. Our network engineers want the two subnets to be completely separated, because this new iSCSI subnet will speak also to our recovery for SAN replication site, which brings me to another question. in order to use the software EqualLogic Auto - SnapShot Manager\VMWare Edition, she wants to be able to talk to the iSCSI network and the VCenter.  Anyone here used this feature without SRM?  I'm not planning to allow the SRM software currently in production, only half of my servers are VMs where all are as in DR and slightly different configs, so until I can duplicate both slots and fully use SRM I'll wait.

  I am also having a different subnet created only for devices management and applications such as updates of HQ of EqualLogic SAN, head of group and the servers, devices, etc.  It would be a more ideal situation to move the VCenter for?

  FYI, VSphere 4.1, ESXi 4.1, EquaLogic PS6000

  Also, I use FT and VMotion on different VLAN internal to the production of LAN and those will not change.

  Any idea or clarification is appreciated, I would like some feedback before .

  Welcome to the community - there is no need for vCenter communicate to your iSCSI subnet - all communication is handled by the ESX/ESXi hosts if ther EqualLogic can't answer to and his need to connect to vCenter.

• How to change the MOB OpenManage integration for vCenter Server registration

  A few months back, I've updated our installation of the vCenter for v2 plugin, now called OpenManage integration for vCenter Server. When you perform the upgrade, we have kept the old base done vs a new installation. During the upgrade process, we deployed the new device under a new name of the computer.

  Everything works well except that we noticed an annoying thing. Registration of the plugin is the former name of the server instead of the name of the new server-oriented. It is validated by looking at the web page MOB: http://vcenter Server/fmt drilling then down through:

  Content--> Extension Manager--> extensionList ["com.dell.plugin.OpenManage_Integration_for_VMware_vCenter"] --> server--> URL string

  The configuration of the appliamnce shows the correct new name of the device and the administration console is accessible via the new name for the device. The only place where we see the old name of the device is in the MOB config.

  We tried to remove the plugin and added, but still cannot change the value of server URL to reflect the new name of the device. Until we solve this problem, I work around the problem by keeping just the DNS entry for the old name of the server in DNS.

  Anyone know who to change the property MOB for the URL of the server?

  I solved the problem.

  I found the following article that shows how to upgrade the extension. I just cut and paste into my current values with the URL of update and now all is good.

• VMware Tools for Mac on EsXi 5.5

  I'm trying to install VMware Tools on a Mac on my 5.5 EsXi box.  I get the following error:

  VMWare Tools upgrade error

  Call 'VirtualMachine.MountToolsInstaller' for the 'host name' object on EsXi host failed.

  VIX 21003 = error code

  Anyone where I can download Vmware Tools for mac on an EsXi 5.5 box?  Perform a google search, I am led to this page to download VMware Tools:

  Index of /45848/tools/esx/5.0

  However, this site lists only on Windows and Linux.  I do not see any version of Vmware Tools Mac.

  Nevermind, I was able to get rid of the error message by removing my cd player.  Its strange that after mounting will cause this error.  Also its strange that there isn't any downloadable version online.  But no matter I got it solved.

• What happens IF we replace the default certificates for vCenter 5.1?

  Does anyone have specific vmware documents indicating what happens IF we replace the default certificates for vCenter 5.1 SSO, inventory, Web Client etc... services?

  I found this below at page 19 of https://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/vCenter/VMware-vCenter-Server-Single-Sign-On.pdf

  Certificates update

  When you install the vCenter Single Sign-On, each component that registers with it - including

  vCenter Single Sign-On himself - uses SSL to communicate between components and saved solutions.

  By default, SSL certificates are generated automatically by VMware installation and upgrade process

  and are sufficient for the operational security for most VMware customers.

  Some clients prefer to use their own self-signed or purchased SSL certificates. A tool has been developed to

  help the insertion of these certificates after vCenter Server installation. Because of the additional knowledge

  required to create and install self-signed certificates, we recommend that you review the following knowledge of VMware

  basis of articles:

  "Deployment and using the tool to automate SSL certificate.

  (VMware 2041600 knowledge base article)

  "Generation of certificates for use with the VMware Certificate SSL automation tool"

  (VMware 2044696 knowledge base article)

  In 10 years your vCenter starts (because of expiry of the certificate).

  Your users will see pesky warnings of SSL certificate when connecting components.

  Apart from that all traffic is always secure and encrypted with certificates by default, you have simply a chain of trust for them.

• VMware tools for windows 98

  I'm fighting for two hours just to find the @$ & #^! VMware tools for Windows 98.

  For admins:

  Is it so difficult to include a link and a line on the site somewhere?

  With so many questions posted here, you already know that you don't have to make it all work automated, so in many cases a manual alternative is the only option.

  After the installation of Windows 98, there was a message that Vmware tools OS installed but I still only 16 colors, 640 x 480 res and an answer that is worse than a slideshow, so I guess that no Vmware tools have been installed.

  I tried some of the ISO images here https://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/index.html but they are not accepted for the player or the operating system.

  So, Vmware tools option exists for Windows 98 or not?

  Hello

  you do not have the option:

  Player - manage?  (because theire you might normally before the installation process) to mount the iso,... and so on

  have you tried to mount the Iso local player manually? (not the source vmware Web)

  you have enough disk space?

  Best regards

• VMware Tools for ESXi not in running and not installed

  (nested) Tools of ESXi does not.

  I installed an ESXi 5.5 nested on a physical and installed 5.5 ESXi host tools on the virtual ESXi5.5.

  However both the client c# as the Web Client report not (not running, not installed) tools.

  When I type 'list of software esxcli vib', I see the esx-tools-for-esxi in the list.

  I have attached the vmware.log for the nested ESXi, I use nesting for several years only and had no problems.

  Thanks in advance

  You are hiding the fact that you run in a virtual machine, if the tools do not start.  Shut down the virtual computer, remove this line from your configuration file and restart:

  monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = true

• Is it possible to apply a provisioning in vCenter or ESX level?

  Hi all

  Is it possible to apply a provisioning in vCenter or ESX level?

  Best regards / yazri

  yazri,

  I am unaware of the way in which only a provisioning can be applied to a newly created VMDK. I think that there is a configuration option required for the creation of new virtual machines, it is not possible to 'apply' only a provisioning.

• Is there a converter Plug In for vCenter Server 5?

  Hello

  We have just implemented the vCenter Server 5 and get that some 4.1 ESX servers migrated to host ESX 5.

  Previously, there's a Service guided Consolidation (converter Plug In) vCenter for vCenter Server.  Is there a similar product for vCenter Server 5 or use the stand-alone converter in the future?

  Thank you

  With vSphere 5 there is no available plugin more. Just use the vCenter Converter Standalone.  André

• Performance and benchmarking tools for short

  We are in the phase of Performance & Benchmarking of our short 3.0 - 9.2 PeopleSoft project. We use CloverETL to import data from a view TFTP to short. We load a large amount of data to really test the limits of short (approx. 50million rows). We use Integrator Server to run the ETLs, but the newspaper which is produced from the Integrator server is not very useful. Can anyone recommend a performance and a benchmarking tool for short that could give her more information on where time is spent during the ETL process?  It must also produce numbers of short Studio reference for large volumes of data. Does anyone know of a benchmarking tool that can give us specific times to set up a page in short (other than a stopwatch) Studio?

  For details about the time of request and response of Studio, you can enable performance metrics/logging.  View the monitoring query performance: configuration of the amount of data of registration measures [1] for more details.
