Delete host to vcenter vcenter disappeared or no longer works

So I completely messed up my camera vCenter and it no longer works. I tried to redploy a device by connecting directly to the host, and it does not work.

How can I remove the host of reflection, it is managed by a unit of vCenter, while on the host? In other words, without access to the device of vCenter but rather by connecting to the host using vclient?

Don't have seen this before. When you use the vClient to connect directly to the host, on the summary screen, there is a link at the bottom right that says something like "Unlink this host to vCenter Server." I clicked it and it seems to work. I hope that I have no problem in the long term.

  • Cannot delete host to vCenter

    Hi all

    I have a curious problem here, I am trying to remove a host to vCenter but get the following message: "the object has already been disposed or was not completely created."

    I think there is a certain entity in the vCenter database table over? Anyone any ideas?

    Thank you

    Hi André,.

    Thanks for the answer, it turns out that it was a problem with the obsolete entries in the adam database. 5.5 vCenter, had not consulted the web client in a while & only he saw there.

  • VMware vCenter living is no longer working with Acronis Backup Advanced, Help!

    Hello everyone, I hope this ad in the right area of im, I'm looking for some advice on what could be causing my question about integration using the byproducts, I am struggling to find something on the net that relates exactly to my problem so have resorted to forums to see if anyone has tips or ideas , like im fresh out of them now!

    • VMware Client & Server Version 5.5.0 - (VMware vCentre Server Build 1476327)
    • Acronis advanced backup (Version 11.5 - update 5)

    Since November the synchronization / VMware vCenter integration between the 2 products above seems to have stopped working correctly, which means that any change in the location of the VM machines in the VMware customer environment is not reflected in Acronis more.

    For example, when you move a virtual machine to a folder on a particular data center to another folder in the same Datacenter, this change should be so reflected in the Acronis, what is happening is no longer.

    In addition, when a virtual machine brand new is created in vSphere and is placed in the appropriate Center of data/file structure, this should (and working correctly until November) fill with Acronis 'vcentre' host Group that has the folder structure equivalent to pick up the plans for appropriate backup etc, but this happens is no longer, instead , the only way that you can see the new VM is under "all Virtual Machines.

    In addition, when removal of vSphere VM, also not being properly reflects Acronis more, when go in "All Virtual machines" these deleted machines are still show while intoxicated. But these machines no longer exist in vSphere, this shouldn't show Acronis more. Without doubt, this is connected to vCenter integration issues.

    Here are the steps I took to try to solve this problem

    • Disable/re-enabling integration with the server vCentre.
    • Restarting the Server Service on the management of Acronis Acronis license server
    • Reset all motors of unloading and the virtual machine.
    • Acronis and vCentre servers restarting.
    • A reconstruction complete the Acronis server and all subsequent config, etc. backup plans.

    After the last point (reconstruction of Acronis) integration has worked for a few days, then it stopped working again!

    If anyone has any ideas or possible causes, could you please let me know.

    Here are a few details of what was the root cause of the problem:

    Each VM in vSphere contains a list of parameters such as:

    InstanceUUID

    locationID

    guestFullName

    The problem arises because some of the virtual computers contains a copy of the values of these parameters (name, value). Thus, in order to update the database of AMS, we execute the SQL query with these settings, but when 2 or more of the virtual computers contains the same parameters, the SQL query fails > This is why the changes were not reflected and it was not possible to update the vCenter folder structure.

    The developer removed then duplicate values enable and disable the vCenter integration, by doing this it was able to resolve the problem.

  • Unable to add previous hosts to vCenter device

    Greetings.  We are migrating our guests to new hardware.  We had three hosts for running ESXi 5.5.0 - 1331820 with the vCenter device on one of them.  Everything worked well.  In the process of moving virtual machines around, vCenter device has been deleted (intentionally).  We recreated the device of the OVA 5.5.0.5201 vCenter and ran through the Installation Wizard as previously.

    Now, when you add one of the existing hosts to vCenter, it finds the host and displays information.  When the user clicks on finish, it works quickly up to 80% and the host appears, and then disconnects.  The log shows: add host independent, added host, unable to connect host computer in the data center; connection error host, removed in the data center.

    The error showing is: cannot communicate with the specified host (x.x.x.x). The host may not be available on the network, may have a network configuration problem, or that the management on this host services may not respond.


    Now the stupid thing is that we can not even add the host on which the vCenter unit is on.  In addition, all hosts and vCenter unit are on the same network of management.  There is no firewall doesn't block all ports.  I read through a lot of the display of the Knowledge Base, and most is in regards to incorrect IP addresses or ports blocked or similar.  I checked through everything and could not find anything wrong.


    Last thing is that we amazed the ESXi host that had the vCenter device on it and re-installed 5.5.0 - 1623387 ESXi (version a little more recent than before) and reinstalled the that vCenter device exactly as before.  Now we can add that the host but still cannot add other hosts.  So it appears the issue is something with the hosts and not the device vCenter. 


    Anyone have any ideas?

    I run in to the same kind of problems with other factors.

    FWIW, have you tried the following in this order? 1 stop the vpxa on host, 2 service. Stop the service vmware-vpxd on the vcenter server, 3. Start the vmware-vpxd on the vcenter server, 4 service. Start the serivce vpxa on the host. Then try to add.

  • Cannot add host to vCenter server as data store is shared with an existing host to vCenter

    Recently, I removed a physical host to a virtual appliance of vCenter Server and am not able to add it to vCenter Server because I get an error message on the existing data store.  I run a simple server vCenter environment with two physical hosts and shared storage.  I've only been administering vCenter for a few months, so I'm relatively new on the technology and processes.  I searched the Internet for a few days now, but have not found documentation everyone has the same problem I have (which I find strange considering the simplicity my problem and configuration), so I tried to get help from the community of VMware.

    I received an error message a day this vCenter Server cannot connect to either of the two hosts so I removed the host (rather than disconnect and plug as I should have done).  Now, I am not able to connect to the host to vCenter server because the shared storage data store comes into conflict with the same data store used by the host in vCenter Server.  I get the error message is ' "Datastore"datastore_name"is in conflict with a store of data that exists in the data center which has the same URL (ds: / / / vmfs/volumes/UUID /), but is supported by different physical storage." "  I try to remove the host data store, but get the following error message: "resource" data store name: datastore_name VMFS uuid: UUID' is in use. ".  The error stack said: "'HostStorageSystem.UnmountVmfsVolume' call failed for object 'storage system' on ESXi"IP address"."  Cannot unmount volume ' data store name: datastore_name VMFS uuid: 'UUID' because the file system is busy. Correct the problem and retry the operation. "I tried to delete all virtual machines of the inventory, put the hosts in maintenance mode, restart physical hosts, but none of my troubleshooting contributes.

    I don't know what steps to take to get this data store driving with the host so that I can add it in vCenter Server.  You can provide me with any help is appreciated.

    Good thing you already moved the VMs on.  For what is 'disconnect', 'remove' or 'delete' might work anyway.  You should maybe put the host in maintenance mode or even reboot the host before you can remove data warehouses.  In an extreme case, I even had to remove the host and the hypervisor installed completely rebuild on the spot.  It is not that difficult or does not take long to reinstall, so be not afraid on this subject.  A clean reinstall could still save time compared to the deletion of data warehouses.

  • Remove ESXi hosts to vCenter Cluster host even

    Hi all. Depending on the subject, I would like to remove the host from an old Cluster vCenter which is no longer accessible because the database is damaged. Unfortunately I can not not to restore it because my predecessor scheduled backups. How can I do? Thank you all in advance for your answer.

    All the information you have provided, I suppose there could be something in the ADAM database, which must be deleted / reset.

    The assignment of license keys is stored in the ADAM database (rather than in the vCenter Server database) and with the new installation of server vCenter on the same host (old) this may not have been reset. Please take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1015268 to see if this KB will help resolve the issue.

  • Remove host to vCenter, but keep the functional VMs on host?

    I managed on the basis of 3 guests by vCenter Essentials over which limit myself to 3 hosts managed by vCenter.  3 all hosts are connected to storage arrays, SAN, through Dell Power Connect switches.

    I want to delete a host to add a beefier host in his place.  If I remove a host, it will break the connections to the San?... because I want to leave the host VMs powerd on & keep functional.  Is this possible?  Would this work?

    Remove a host to vCenter will not affect SAN connections or virtual machines running - depending on whether you have any DRS you might be forced to put the host in maintenance mode and move virtual machines to other nodes or if you have active HA you can find in a State where you receive warnings about insufficient resources for failover.

  • Unable to connect hosts to vCenter

    Hello

    I see this problem is well known, but after trying everything I found here or on the different VMWare KBs (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1027672), you are my last hope !

    When I try to add a host to vCenter (via vSphere Client or vSphere Web Client), I have the following error:

    • Cannot contact the specified host. The host may not be available on the network, may have a network configuration problem, or that the management on this host services may not respond

    About versions of software:

    • ESXi 6.0
    • vCenter 5.5 (installed on a Windows Server 2008R2)
    • vSphere Client 5.5

    Here's what I CAN do.

    • The host can ping vCenter (both with IP and server name)
    • vCenter can ping on the host (with IP and server name)
    • DNS resolution works great
    • I can connect directly to the host with vSphere Client (and create a virtual machine, if I want to)
    • The host is not in "Lockdown" mode
    • The vCenter database is clean (MSQL Express, a small)
    • I tried to affect the timeout of negotiating SSL 12000ms, as it is mentioned in the KB, but the problem is still there
    • vpxa service is running on the host computer

    If you have advice, information, even the smallest one, please share it!

    Could this be a problem in version? A known issue with 6.0 ESXi and vCenter 5.5?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Yes, problem solved.

    My mistake was that I just add the network configuration of the ESXi domain suffix, but I did not actually Add the ESXi host at the estate, with the permission of the administrator of the domain. (Now, it seems so obvious...)

    So I had to plug directly into the host ESXi via Vsphere (in my case Windows), go to the configuration tab and add the host to the domain.

    After that, everything went well.

    Thanks again Andrew for your help on this!

    Nice day

  • Cannot add the ESX 6.0 host to vCenter Server 6.0

    OK, I'm testing laboratory a vsan 6.0 cluster.

    I have my running 6.0.0 esx hosts and vcenter server is 6.0.0 also.

    I have the services platform on a virtual machine and vcenter on another. I was able to create a data center, then a cluster below.

    Then I went to try to add a host to my group and I get this error...

    Failed to contact the specified host (hostname\IP). The host may not be available on the network, may have a network configuration problem, or that the management on this host services may not respond.


    Per this KB: KB VMware: Add a host VMware ESXi/ESX from VMware vCenter Server fails


    I confirmed that my vcenter server and platform services server can see all esx hosts. From the vcenter server, it can ping the host esx and PuTTY can access all of them. I even installed the client and it can connect to all esx hosts. I used the netbios name, IP and FULL domain name and they all work.

    I have only a single subnet, so this isn't a problem. DNS resolution works in all areas of both sides, vcenter esx hosts and host esx to vcenter.


    I am quite puzzled.



    OK, after working with VMware on this issue, I think that I thought about it.

    All my hosts are DL360 G6 servers.

    My hosts are run the same build «VMware-ESXi-6.0.0-2494585-HP-600.9.2.38-Mar2015.iso» ESX Downloaded from HP.

    All buildings are in trial mode.

    After placing a call to VMware, they had me build some ESX VM, the services of the platform and the vcenter VM on an ESX host. We suspended because it took all day to go upward.

    Once I woke up all the parts (sql server, esx vm, server platform & vcenter) in virtualization nested, I created my data center, then Cluster then added the ESX host.

    The hosts added properly, no error. Then I remembered when I installed ESX inside a virtual machine, I am angry that the iso, I had the habit of HP does not work in my VM nested due to virtualized hardware.

    Then a fire came into my head. We will rebuild all of the physical cluster but NOT use the CV provided the iso file but use VMware provided iso file "VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 6.0.0 - 2159203.x86_64.iso".

    I did it today. I have rebuilt all hosts with the provided iso file VMware ESX...

    Spun SQL Server vCenter, service platform, all VM VM VM you need. My AD & DNS VM are on another server, so he has been upwards all the time.

    Connected to the web interface (yuck!).

    Created my data center...

    Created my Cluster...

    Add all my Cluster hosts.

    All of this worked!

    Therefore, if you encounter the same problem, I'm plan to generate your with the provided iso file VMware ESX hosts and try it. In my case, the provided HP iso file didn't work properly for me.

    I also downloaded the iso file of HP 2 other times to make sure and do a validation test and it did the same thing.
