Displacement of vCenter Server to new hardware and start from scratch

Hi all

I want to configure a new server vCenter Server on new hardware and start from scratch instead of migrating from the old installation.

Threre are currently only 5 ESXi hosts connected to this server vCenter Server, so it would not so much be working to the reconfiguration of the new facility.

I wonder if there are other things that I have to take care of? How about iSCSI, network settings and so on?

Thanks in advance,

Andreas

It is no big problem with a new server vCenter Server. Just follow the step to a new clean install.

Existing hosts will be simple automatically deleted when you add to the existing VC they to the new cluster.

Please keep in mind that the DNS entry are correct.

If you have a HA, so I suggest to disable in the old cluster (it will be configured in a way to the new).

If you have CVS you add hosts when are in maintenance mode.

  • How it delete and start from scratch?

    All I want to do is clear on my computer and restart from scratch. I have all my records, but he said not how to this in the instruction manuals... only includes restoration at some point and I don't want to restore. How it delete and start from scratch? I've saved my files to an external hard drive.

    If you are sure you want to do this - and it of a radical step, is generally not necessary - you potentially have two choices.

    In addition to your data, make sure that you have saved the downloaded installation files and their activation keys, as appropriate.

    Some computers manufactured by large OEMs have a hidden partition to "restore" that will allow you to restore the computer to its "fresh from the factory" State.  Alternatively, the manufacturer may have provided a 'recovery' or 'restore' CD/DVD which will accomplish the same thing.  One of the important side effects: test facilities of things like antivirus applications will install but not triggered because the trial period had been used.  You must uninstall these completely (using the "removal tool" provided by a / v manufacturer) before installing a real a / v application.

    On the other hand, you can have a genuine Windows XP install CD, although these are rare.  If that's what you have, you want to do what is called a "clean install".  Don't forget to install your device drivers after the Windows Installer is finished (card mother/chipset, network card, sound card, video card, etc.).

    http://www.theeldergeek.com/xp_pro_install_-_graphic.htm

    In both cases, after Windows has been installed, the first thing we do is go to Windows Update and install all critical updates.  Then you can install all the applications you have installed after you purchased the computer.  They must be installed from the original media (a downloaded Setup program that you have registered or a CD/DVD).  If none of these applications are Microsoft applications, return to Microsoft Update and get updates critical for these applications.

  • How can I reinstall Windows on a new drive without starting from scratch?

    I have XP installed on a FAT32 32 GB to a 160 GB HARD drive partition.  I ran out of the room into the partition and want to delete the partition, wipe the drive and start over with him as a single partition NTFS drive.  Is there a way to preserve XP installed by copying an image to another 160 GB drive installed in the machine, rather than starting from scratch? The same question would apply if I decide instead to upgrade to a larger HARD drive.  Thank you.

    Because the FAT32 and NTFS file systems are different, you will need boot from scratch and do a "clean install" Windows XP

    Section "Programs", I "Program Files" and "Program Files (x 86)" and system recovery files.  I have all the files the

    computer so I'm not concerned about losing.  Can I reformat the hard disk to clean it and if so how?

    Can I connect with a technology that can access my computer and fix it?

    Of course, I really, really need help.

    Please advise and thank you for any help you can give me.

    Your computer is equipped with a recovery instead of disk partition...

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    You may need to try several times to get everything above to work. If after several attempts, you have no chance, or the machine indicates that there is no recovery partition, your only option is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask for the model recovery discs...

    After the reset, you should get all the updates from Windows Update EXCEPT for hardware devices. Then, you install a good antivirus. ONLY AFTER you have done this, if you replace the stuff of backups or install anything else.

  • Best method to move the VCenter server on new server

    I need to move my VCenter server to a new machine.

    The computer name and the IP address will be different from the original.

    1 should I use the existing database or there will be too many references to the old server vCenter Server?

    2. should I start from scratch on a new server and import my 5 ESX servers?  (Story not so important for me)

    If I start, unplug the old and add it again or just to add again and it will automatically remove the old?

  • vCenter Server 5.1, SSO and Service of the inventory on a single server?

    It is said in articles vmware all 3 roles can be installed for small deployments on a server with enough hardware requirements (2 hearts and 10 GB of RAM and hard drive 100 GB recommended).

    Question is what is considered to be low?

    Can I install all 3 roles on a server for lets say 14 guests and about 200 virtual machines?

    If I have 3 vCenter servers I'd better install all 3 roles on each of the 3 servers. or have a SSO or SSO HA for all vCenter servers?

    The problem is that we want to separate the vCenter by area.

    A big thank you!

    Yes, you can install all 3 roles on onse Server. We installed it on a virtual machine with 8 GB of RAM, 100 GB HD and 4 CPU.

    For the decision on wheter to install all 3 roles on 3 vCenter servers, I recommend you to read the next page.

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2032135

    If I should make the decision, I separate completely all 3 areas and thus install 3 with 3 roles vCenter servers. But this does not mean you have to do the same thing.

  • Displacement of vCenter Server Local to SAN storage

    I currently have vCenter server running inside a virtual machine on ESX. Today, I realized that it is on a local storage instead of SAN storage, which means I'm in trouble if this host ever goes down. Has anyone left VC local stroage for before SAN? What is the best way to achieve this? I want to keep on the same host, I want to just move the storage. Any suggestion would be appreciated!

    Thank you!

    Well, your DB is running on the same VM?  See cloning is a feature of vCenter, but if stop you your VM vCenter, you lose the ability to clone. You can probably copy the files using something like WinSCP, but you'd have to power down your instance of vCenter, make a note of which hosts its operation on.  Remove the vCenter VM for local stocks, do not delete yet.  Take the new files you have copied during a shared storage, navigate and do a right-click on the .vmx and add to the inventory, and follow the prompts.  Once your instance comes back online, you can delete the files from local storage.

    Another suggestion would be if DB is separate, create a new instance and point to your existing DB
