• vCenter server from unit 5.5 after the migration from one host to another host

  Hello

  
  

  I had to migrate our VCenter Server Appliance VM (5.5 x) that uses the database into another ESXi host.

  Once the VM has moved successfully from one host to another, after the virtual machine restarts, I'm not able to connect to it.

  I get the following error: Client is not authenticated to the Service of the inventory of VMware - https://web-vcenter1:10443

  I searched and followed many articles KB including KB 2037952 with no luck. I refreshed the

  SSL certificates, etc. and ideas.

  
  

  Thank you

  Hi Ryan,

  I fixed all my issues in upgrading the VCSA to the latest version. Version 5.5.0 Build 2414847

  Other treatments VCSA had already been upgraded to this version and it worked very well.

  Thanks for help with ideas.

  PS: You were right - I log in as root and not as an administrator and this is why I did not see the SSO pages.

• How to move virtual machines from one host to another without full VI and vMotion?

  Hello

  could you help me with a question?

  I have two installed hosts with ESXi 3.5 U5, which are connected to the shared iSCSI (Openfiler) - VMs storage are installed on the storage disk. My requirement is to have a cheap solution of DR - in case of failure of a host, I need to move and start VM on the host of work. How to achieve without going through VMware Infrastructure 3.5 and vMotion?

  I found this article:

  http://www.virtualizetips.com/2010/04/how-to-move-a-VM-without-vCenter-or-storage-VMotion/

  but RCLI needs Infrastructure of VMware ESXi does not have default CLI So, how to move VMs between hosts (of course I mean "cold" move) without byuing any additonal VMware SW? It is generally possible in my situation?

  Thank you.

  If the virtual machines are running in shared storage (two guests see the same storage iSCSI or NFS) then it's simple. If a host goes down, then look for the data store on the ESXi host work. Navigate through folders for each virtual machine, right-click on the VMX file and add to the inventory. You will then be able to turn on the virtual machine.

  To move a virtual machine from one host to another, as long as both hosts had the same processors, you can pause the VM on the single host, browse and add the virtual machine to the inventory on the second break host and the United Nations.

  If the virtual machines are on local storage, but the two hosts are connected to the same shared storage, clone virtual machines on a daily basis from local storage to shared storage. Use something like ghettoVCB http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8760 make the clone. In the case of a server failure, you will be able to browse the data store, add to the inventory on the shared storage and switch the cloned machine.

• Move a virtual machine from one host to another without vCenter Server

  Hi all

  Something's been recently who raised the question on moving a virtual machine between hosts without vCenter.  I am running vSphere manage 3 blades in a c3000.  I have a shared storage iSCSI blade which all the blades connect to.  All of my virtual machines are in the same data store on the shared storage.  I'm also under vCenter Server as a virtual machine on one of the blades.  The blade that hosts the vCenter Server VM dead recently. What I was hoping to do is use vSphere Client to connect directly to one of the other blades and hover over the vCenter Server VM to one of the blades of the good, but I can't find a way to do this.  Using the browser of data store and see all of the virtual machine on the store of data without problem, but I see no way to migrate the virtual machine without vCenter server.  In the end, the blade has only had a problem of memory I corrected and managed to raise the blade but I now think of the future.  I use only Essentials, so I don't have access to vMotion and Storage vMotion.  I know that running vCenter Server is supported by Vmware, but I wonder if it's the best practices.

  Any thoughts?

  Hi, I assume that you get this error because the machine is running, try to connect directly to the host and do the same with an engine off the machine.

• Migrate the virtual machine for Exchange 2010 from one host to another

  Dear members,

  Please let know us if the migration of a virtual machine for Exchange 2010 is supported to an Esxi host to another, the Esxi version is 5.0.

  There are unique Exchange environment with the role of hub, CAS and mailbox on the same virtual server. We have a maintenance window and we think moving exchange virtual machine from one host to another, but before that I need to be sure if it's supported my MS and do not want to have problems after, because I have also gotten to know here in the forums this snapshot for Exchange 2010 is not supported by Ms.

  Please notify.

  Kind regards

  I'm not aware of any limitations with VMS Exchange migration. Anyway, you can consider running the migration during the low workload.

• VMotion - VM from one host to another host

  I have a lab setup as I am new to VMware and try to move a virtual machine powered from one host to another host and errors. I have attached an image of the error. (vmotionError2.png)

  They way I run is as follows:

  System machine built running ESXi 4.1.0 260247

  Host 1

  On this, I have two ESXi 4.1.0 race 260247 VM and Vcenter Server and three other VM

  Welcome 2 (different material of co-location)

  On this I have ESXi 4.1.0 260247

  Home 3

  It is the first virtual ESXi 4.1 on the host one called ESXi41-1 that has a motor on the virtual from Windows XP Pro machine.

  Home 4

  It's the second virtual ESXi4.1 on the host one called ESXi41-2, which is where I'm vmotion Windows XP Pro VM at.

  The network cards are on 1000 full duplex.

  Any suggestion or help would be great. That's what I'm working with and try to get good at my VCP exam.

  Welcome to the forums!

  Convert it to a virtual machine (right click on guest and choose the appropriateoption), move it through the migration feature (right-click Guest, and then choose "Migrate") and convert into a model (right click on guest again and choose to convert to a template).

• How to move templates of virtual machines from one host to another, if the partners host is offline

  Hi people,

  I knew that I need to convert a virtual computer model to a VM to move from one host to another, but that when the host, that the model is associated with, is offline / broken? Is it possible to make it work again on the vsphere client or only via the command-line interface of cmd and save the model with the host?

  Thanks in advance.

  Kind regards

  Bjoern

  You can try this...

  If you have another ESX host to add the data store to which the template is stored.

  After that browse the data store and go to the directory of the model. Select the model VM file and add it to the inventory and select the host on which you want to add the template... After you have added the host convert VM...

  Thank you

• Problem transfer VM from one host to another, different VCenter Server ESXi

  Hello everyone.  I'm new on communities, please excuse my lack of experience of VMWare.  I have a problem with the migration of computers and I hope someone here can help you.

  We have two independent groups in my building that each have their own installer of VMWare.  They each at least two hosts ESXi, VCenter Server, san, etc.  They are in separate laboratories on separate subnets.  I need to get a system in place where some images migrated in one laboratory to another on a regular basis, but I'm running into obstacles.

  My first attempt was a copy of the right lane.  Lift the file in my store of data takes about 5 hours, and the final result is a vmdk file is not set up.  I don't know why.  I created a new VM the custom option usign and attempted to add an existing hard drive.  When I accessed this file in my data store, there is no evidence, even if a 50 GB file is really there. I also tried to install this vmdk as a second hard drive to an existing image file, and I end up with the same result.  The Add Hardware Wizard does not have the file as an option.

  My second attempt was to have a group to create a clone of the server and let it off.  Then, I tried to run an import of a clone of one VCenter Server installation to another.  This leads to an error that it was 'Impossible to determine the operating system called'.

  I also tried to import the clone in an installation of SCVMM MS I'm hungry.  That no longer works.

  We don't have a VMotion. We have Essentials more licenses.  A group is running ESXi 4.0 hosts and the other is running ESXi 4.1 hosts.  What is the best way to get an image from one group to another?

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Joe

  You can always use tools such as Veeam Backup and replication, it will take 5 hours for the first complete copy maybe, but then it's just modified pieces which are transferred.

  If this post was useful/solved your problem, please mark the points of wire and price as seem you. Thank you!

• Move the virtual machine from one host to another with shared storage

  Hello

  I have a question on how to move a virtual machine from one ESX 4 host to a host ESXi 5.  These hosts have access to the same shared storage but the ESX 4 host is outside the network and host ESXi 5 is inside the network so vMotion is not an option.  They are in different groups.  I know that there must be an easy way to move this virtual machine, but for the life of me, I can't find it.  I guess I have remove the virtual machine from the external cluster but how to make the virtual machine in the internal cluster?

  Thanks in advance...

  If both host access to the data store even where VM's store, just stop the virtual machine, remove inventory on ESXi 4, go to ESXi 5 vSphere vSphere, browse the data store where the VM is stored, do a right-click on the .vmx file and add to the inventory.

• migrate vm one host to another...

  Hi all

  I want to migrate all the VMS (esx server) host to another host (esx server) on a single order. What is this command? Sometimes, it is necessary for an urgent basis in order to free the esx server. a migration is timetaking and I am only one person involved in the vsphere server.

  Please advice.

  sasmas

  Hello

  Yes, if you use the new VMware VI Toolkit (for Windows) which is the based powershell toolkit, you can migrate all the VMS on a host with only two lines of code:

  Get-VIServer < VC Server >-'user' user - password "vmware".

  Get-VMHost ESX1 | Get-VM | Move-VM - Destination (Get-vmhost ESX2)

  The toolkil is still in beta, but if you want to try it out you can download it here:

  http://www.VMware.com/beta/vitk_win/

  OR

  You can set it in now. mode, remove the virtual machines and then do what you must do and out of maintenance mode

  vimsh - n-e ' / hostsvc/maintenance_mode_enter.

  vimsh - n-e ' / hostsvc/maintenance_mode_exit.

• Copy layers or pieces of a layer from one page to another, without masters?

  How can I copy layers or pieces of one page to another? I created a master and I want to create a second master who uses much of the same configuration, but I need to go to enter a photo in the background. However, the only quick way to get menus and headers of the first master in the second master is actually the master award, but then I can't move the picture on the back at all. Is there a way I can copy these menus and such in a new master without having that him attributed to the first master?

  In your site map, right click on the mask that you want to use as a second master and choose 'double page'. This will create a new master with all elements of the first master, but can be edited separately from the first menu.

  If I understand what you were trying to do this should work for you.
