• Problems with virtual center/vsphere client

  Hello

  We use Vsphere client 4.0.0 build 208111 with Virtual Center Server version and same build.

  I have 2 problems:

  1. I have a virtual machine with only one disc that is shown on 2 different data stores. If I look through the models and virtual computers, I see only 1 vm. If I look through the data warehouse screen, I see it in the store data-002 and 003-store data. If I go to the settings of the virtual machine on the datastore-002 and check the disk, I see the path in the store of data-003.

  How can I fix?

  2. I turned on a windows 2003 vm. I couldn't close it via customer vpshere because the status of VM Tools showed not running. When I logged in the system, he showed OK and then I could close by the customer.

  Do I always login for virtual machine tools to perform?

  Thank you

  Haim defending

  This virtual machine has a CD / ISO mounted?  What happens if you click edit setting on the virtual machine, that says the file of the disk?

  Also, go to the service console and watching a .vmx file, it should say something like

  scsi0:1.fileName = "servername.vmdk"
  

  Then look at the hard, it should point to something like

   VMFS "servername-flat.vmdk"

• Problems of Virtual Center update

  Hello

  I'm trying to update my 2.5 Update virtual Center 2-day 6 and downloaded the zip on the VMWARE site.  When I run through the upgrade, everything seems fine and I click on install, but shortly after, I get:

  Windows Installer - another version of this product is already installed.  The installation of this version cannot continue.  To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove programs from the control panel.

  Is it not possible to upgrade on top?  You really have to uninstall the old version of VCenter to update to the current iteration?  This is my first Virtual Center upgrade.  Or is that what I downloaded the wrong package?  And is there a smaller package to use for update?

  Kind regards

  Darren

  Another version of this product is already installed. The installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove programs from the control panel.

  Is it not possible to upgrade on top?

  Apparently not... It does not give an error, he specifically told you TO remove it all first.  vCenter 4.0 performs the removal of previous versions for you.

  And just info there is NOT such a thing as an 'upgrade' EVERY install, Windows, programs, EVERYTHING a re - INSTALLS the product, some may simply automate the removal of the software if you don't have to do, but NO Windows "updates" package the existing installation, they ALWAYS remove the oldest elements, then replaced with the most recent.

• VCAC 5.2 with virtual Center 5.5 Point

  I am currently using VCAC 5.2 to deploy machines in Vpshere Server 5.1 and everything works fine.

  However, I need to upgrade this server Vsphere to 5.5. VCAC 5.2 can still orchestrate to Vsphere 5.5 or do I have to upgrade the VCAC 6.0 before I can all the server Vsphere upgrades

  Thank you

  Ryan

  vCAC 5.2 works perfectly with vSphere 5.5. But if you have any dependence on vCO 5.1 the vCAC 5.2 for implementing custom service, you will need to upgrade your vCO to 5.5 and run it in compatibility mode to work with 5.2 vCAC.

• VMWare Virtual Center 2.5 update 3 management ESX v3.5 Update 4 and 5 guests

  I'm doing an audit of versions of VMWare and it seems that our cluster hosts are running a later update version as the virtual center server. Virtual Center 2.5 update 3 management ESX v3.5 Update 4 and 5 guests.

  Does anyone know if this causes problems. This has been the case since before I started and there seems to be no negative effect I see.

  Don't want to update virtual center update 5 as we plan to upgrade to vSphere, shortly.

  you are in a supported configuration, so you should be fine

  http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vSphere4/R40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.PDF

  However, with more agents on new hosts, you can see some are disconnects/no response errors for your hosts in vCenter.  In general, I would like to have my instance of vCenter to or superior to the latest version of ESX.

• Update of ESX4 without virtual center or Update Manager

  Hello

  I use a 1 host configuration, where Virtual Center is installed as a virtual machine. I understand that this is not "best practice". Our host in a data center and rack space is limited for us. Anyway, how we would update ESX in this environment? Virtual Center being a virtual machine, it will have to be stopped to host clean up the updates. We cannot provide a physical box at present to perform Virtual Center. Is there therefore a non Virtual Center / Update Manager ESX update mode?

  Thanks as always...

  Unfortunately, it will not work with ESX - because updates are done differently. Each update in ESXi update the firmware to the previous version, while in ESX each patch is added to the ESX operating system.

  The download link of the last update is here - https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/OFFLINE/release-166-20091202-254879/ESX-4.0.0-update01a.zip

  You will have to powerdown your VMS put your host in maintenance mode - install the patch

• Upgrade virtual Center 2.02 VC 2.5 on the new server. Upgrade ESX 3.02 ESX Server 3.5. and add the new ESX Server.

  Hello

  We are due to upgrade our VMWare environment. ESX 3.02 x servers virtual Center 2.02 and 3.  We have new material on which to install Virtual Center and we are also adding a new ESX Server.

  I read various guides for virtual center upgrade and watched questions on the forum, but can not see everything that relates to the way I thought to do. I want to install Virtual Center 2.5 on the new server and I would refer her to the current virtual cenre database.  Is this supported?

  I then install ESX 3.5 on my new ESX Server and add it to the virtual Center. Then I would start the upgrade / rebuild other servers using VMotion to migrate all VM the next server to be rebuilt on the new server running ESX 3.5.

  Would this work.

  What is the best way to upgrade the virtual center of new material and a new Version?

  Thank you for all the advice that can be offered.

  Kind regards.

  Yes, it is an upgrade that is supported.  Don't forget there will be an upgrade for your DB schema and it may take some time.  Just make sure that you have a good backup of your DB before you start.

  I then install ESX 3.5 on my new ESX Server and add it to the virtual Center. Then I would start the upgrade / rebuild other servers using VMotion to migrate all VM the next server to be rebuilt on the new server running ESX 3.5.

  I agree entirely, I drive rebuild is the way to go.

  Would this work. > What is the best way to upgrade the virtual center of new material and a new Version?

  Upgrade to the current version using the .iso image file.  Don't forget the license server, which is a standalone update and are located in the folder /vpx of the vCenter .iso

  Upgrade path:

  1 vCenter

  2 ESX

  3 VMware Guest Tools

  Thank you for all the advice that can be offered.

  I hope that was a little helpful as well

• The upgrade of the Virtual Center 2 update 4 update?

  I am currently running ESXi on IBm blades and they are running version 3i, 3.5.0 Update 2

  We have Virtual Center 3.5 Update 2 installed as well.

  We seek to improve our 3i to 4 upgrade ESX and Virtual Center.  I was looking through the upgrade guide, but there wasn't this listed scenario.

  My plan was to:

  Take c and inplace upgrade of the Virtual Center Update 2 to 4 update server

  VMotion invited out of one of our blades, then update the blade and bring guests.

  Am I missing something?  Are there documents more precise that lists how should I do this?

  seems good... Just get a full backup of your DB vCenter before starting.

  The Upgrade Guide can be helpful as well.

  Also, VMware tools for your guest will require an upgrade as well.

• Error al licenciar esx 3.5, virtual center of the host y

  Hola

  I have 2 esx 3.5 servidores y Virtual Centre of the United Nations.

  In each of esx, Guerra el .lic (single host) he is ok, appears as licenciado (es standard esx).

  Instalo UN virtual center y al instalar doy el fichero .lic Québec he generated in the web of vmware (centralized).

  VOY a cada esx y pongo ip del Centre virtual donde pone 'use license server', me dice algo asi como no hay to licenses validad if the doy tr o no, the digo if, pero no licenciado appears.

  He desinstaldo y vuelto a instalar el servidor of licenses, releido el archivo .lic... no hay manera.

  También al of ido he virtual center a "administration", he marcado "change host...". ', Center Management Server virtual y ahi, pero nada. If Quebec me appears ahi al dar al oton "administration", then b has the 'licenses' las features pestana y en 'virtual center foundation manager' in 'cost' pone server 1, remaining pone cero, y pone total 1.

  El host appears como desconectado al anadirlo al virtual Center try not there as none is can por las licenses.

  Saludos

  If el otro no you already licenciar lo're porque el vCenter no tiene fired para asignarle. Of how many CPUs are you fired? How many has released there? How many you is? ESTOS datos los puedes ver en el servidor of licenses y con the utility of licenses.

  We must PD. SER Malo tanto yo como mokymura by no received al menos haber nor a punto por todas our responses?   The Sin ofender Akumal, pero el reason por el that saw tanto in el tema are because if no 'premiamos' of alguna forma the people that colabora y ayuda amendments, este foro is "cae".

• How to upgrade virtual center

  My virtual centre is a bit back on updates because I don't know how to do it.  I just need to download it from the website and install the update?  If so, can I just install the last update or should I install the updates in order?  I've updated ESX to the last update, is that going to cause a problem with the virtual center update?

  Here is a link with all the steps for updating vc

• Virtual Center Server not joined to a domain

  The environment is ESX 3.5 update 5 and Virtual Center Server 2.5 update 5.

  My question is; Virtual Center Server 2.5 can be installed on a W2003 server that is not joined to a domain?

  If the installation is possible what are the disadvantages and consequences?

  At a later date, the server can be attached to a field and Virtual Center updated accordingly? Thanks,-Jeff

  My question is; Virtual Center Server 2.5 can be installed on a W2003 server that is not joined to a domain?

  Yes.

  If the installation is possible what are the disadvantages and consequences?

  Depends on if you are using ad groups / users to connect to vcenter.  Otherwise, you must use local accounts for vCenter to provide user access to your vCenter cluster.  Adding the vCenter in the field would facilitate this in the future add / secure users.

  and Yes, you can join vCenter to the domain at any time, but it requires a reboot...
