First installation of VSA - placement vcenter

Hello

I'm looking for VSA configuration for the first time with 2 new servers ESXi 5.1 headquarters x and 1 x new 5.1 ESXi server in a branch.

The plan was for (windows) reasons to put the Vcenter server at the license branch.

We are looking to create a VSA cluster headquarters

I had a few questions about the installation: -.

  • Some guides have said servers require RAID 10 - is this a requirement or can get away you with RAID 5 in smaller environments.
  • I read that its better to have the vCenter outside the cluster, but I also hear that you can't manage the cluster from a subnet of difference. I'm not sure what is best here!
  • Could I use a VC and install the cluster service VSA on the vMA to avoid having to build a virtual windows machine? No doubt, I would need still to install the Manager of VSA on a VM in tbe-branch of windows.

I'm grateful for any advice on any of the above requests?

See you soon,.

1.0 required VSA VC be in the same subnet as the cluster.  We lifted this restriction in 5.1.  The Victoria Cross can be anywhere, in the Branch Office, in the main office, etc.  And in 5.1, we now allow up to 150 clusters be managed from a single instance of VC

    Hello

    I turned on the printer to set up as a printer of replacement for when the usual distribution. I was hoping that I wouldn't need to install the ink cartridges, so I plugged into the power supply. Now, he tells me that I can not disable the printer because it can damage it. But if I don't printhead for a long period (over 6 months) the ink can dry and must eventually be replaced and which has a very high cost. So is it safe to keep the printer stored for more than 6 months with the installed ink cartridges and the ink will not obstruct Chief? Or can I turn the printer off without completing the first installation of the printer?

    Thank you

    Hello @nmc1987,

    It is a great place to get help! I read your post and you want to know if you need complete installation, even if you are not using the printer for 6 months. I want to help you solve this problem.

    My personal recommendation would be to close to the bottom of the printer, and when you are ready to use the printer, then insert the cartridges.

    If you went ahead and set up the printer, you can store the cartridges and print heads by following this document: storage open cartridges and printheads.

  • Installation of Nexus 1000v / vCenter user privilege level

    Good afternoon

    I had a question about the necessary privilege concerning the installation of a Nexus 1000v.

    Last week, we install last version of the Nexus1000v on ESXi 5.0.0 Releasebuild-721882 switch.

    After a first installation, we noticed we could not establish the connection between the Nexus1000v and the vCenter [error = > the vCenter Extension key was not saved before use].

    The key was present on the Nexus 1000v but was not registered under the vCenter MOB (Extension Manager).

    We had to increase the privilege level of the service (to vCenter admin) account and re-install to get registred the extension key.

    Cisco said that we must use vCenter user with administrator-level privileges to install the Nexus 1000v, but please find my questions:

    1 / is it possible to install a Nexus 1000v with administrator privileges "Data center" (no admin vCenter). In general, what is the minimum level of privileges possible to install a Nexus 1000v?

    2 / once the privilege is passed to vCenter admin and the installation, it is possible to reduce to a privilege of lower level without affecting the Nexus 1000v?

    I'm a network guy, not a guy of sorry server if I'm unclear in my questions :-)

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Kind regards.

    Kara

    You cannot change the privilege level after the initial connection. He needs to remain at the same level of private.

    One of the things to keep in mind is that there is a constant back and forth between the MSM and vCenter. We are pulling and pushing data into vcenter. Every time a VM vmotions, gets turned on, destroyed or changed requires communication between the MSM and vCenter.

  • VSA configuration and storage before installation of VSA on ESXi

    Is someone can you please remind me how storage should be configured on ESXi until I'll start building VSA?

    VSA is use the local storage of the ESXi hosts.  Should I use local data warehouses already formatted vmfs or raw devices (volumes) and formats?

    Is it true, that, before the installation of VSA, you can no more data VMFS (local) 1 store? If so, this means that VSA will use (use) all available space on the Local data store on the left after installing ESXi (if I'm installing ESXi on local DS as well)?

    Thank you very much!

    VSA manager uses the data store local vmfs to create VSA data warehouses. During the creation of the VSA cluster, you can specify the size of the VSA data store. For example if you have the local data store of 500 GB, you can build cluster VSA using 100 GB of space, so you can have several virtual machines on VSA datastore and a few virtual machines on the local data store. There is an option to extend the VSA data store after creation.

  • CC will not be listed first installation after that first install would not complete the installation.

    Stopped first installation to 24%, I stopped the installation now first does not appear as an installation but CC said I installed it. I tried to uninstall the first cc and the control panel. All say, "Uninstallation was successful", yet control panel Uninstall programs listing show even the first as an application active and CC does not list the first for me to download. What now?

    Problem solved the representative of Adobe technical support had me download the cleaning tool. That solved the problem.

  • Strange first installation problem

    I looked around the answer to that, but nothing helped.

    During my first installation of Windows 7 on the merger, he installed the language of the operating system by default as Turkish, but I noticed that I could drag and drop my Mac on fusion - so almost there, just get installed it in a language I understand.

    I deleted this virtual machine and created another, this time I installed it manually, I don't check the options early in the process, he asked me the usual Windows Installer issues and I choose English as my language.

    After that he had installed it, I noticed I couldn't drag dop points in the instance of merge, then I remembered when he installed inadvertently Turkish, and I checked the options at the beginning of the process, you have a few options of merging the files between the Mac and virtual machine management.

    So now I've manged to install Windows properly, how can I do so I can drag and drop files?

    Also I noticed in the first installation, when I changed the size of the screen he filled my Mac screen beautifully - as if the resolution of the screen had been properly defined. Now, he looks terrible in 800 x 600.

    I am now a little confused.

    If someone could help me? :-)

    Chris

    Hello

    You must install "VMware Tools" to get the drag and drop and beautiful screen resizing back. The first time you have installed (the Turkish era), it was a 'Easy Install', which automatically installs the tools.

    When you do your VM Win7 the second time, it was a plant 'Manual', which does not automatically install the tools.

    During the merger and your Machine virtual (VM) are running, you can install the tools by selecting "Install VMware Tools" in the section "Virtual Machine" on the Mac.

    It should work - let us know if not.

  • How to install 5.1 VSA with vCenter virtual?

    Hi all

    The organization I work for is planning to install a cluster VSA 2 server in a remote site (ESXi 5.1, 5.1 VSA). To reduce costs, they want to have a virtual vCenter on the cluster. I guess that the virtual vCenter also runs the VSA cluster service.

    How the hell can I install this? So far, I have:

    -built 2 5.1 with 1 local datastore ESXi servers each

    -built a vCenter 5.1 on the ESXi server and installed the Manager of VSA on it (which includes the cluster service)

    -joined the two servers ESXi, vCenter inside a data center

    Have a running VM (the vCenter) forced me down the road of installation "Brownfield". Very well... I created 2 vswitches and groups of ports and launched the installation wizard. Everything in the wizard seemed ok and he started to install. He has done many things (clearly, it's a very clever installation program) and after some time he put the host without vCenter in maintenance mode. I watched with my eyebrows getting higher and higher... probably soon he would put the host with vCenter in maintenance mode, what magic he would do to manage loses its vCenter (and the cluster service)? No of course, and it has failed with an error message "cannot create the cluster VSA: Add Cluster HA hosts failed.

    There is a lot I don't understand about a virtual vCenter on a VSA cluster out of the way to install it.

    The vCenter may be on the VSA data store? The install doc does not, it is said "vCenter Server can run locally on a host in the cluster VSA ESXi." vCenter Server can also run remotely and manage multiple VSA clusters. "

    But if it's on a local data store, how to manage servers wearing down for maintenance, updates etc? And that does not turn the host it is running in a single point of failure, if it fails the cluster breaks down? The point of the entire cluster is to avoid this.

    Am I missing something? I would be grateful if anyone can clear this up, and if he's not going to be an option, can anyone recommend a small iscsi SAN or NAS? It is perhaps less than a 3rd Server vCenter, the VSA cost plus the cost of the internal hard drives in 2 guests. In the remote site, currently, there are only a few physical servers, I don't really have the possibility of the vCenter relying on another host and then moving to the VSA cluster that was an option I read on a forum. Don't really want than wan connects either.

    Thank you

    Matt

    The VCS must be outside the cluster.  It does not need to be on a server, it can run on windows or Linux systems class office.  Small footprint PCs are available for ~ $ 200.  It has to be in the same subnet as the cluster nodes.  If the VCS was done in a cluster node, you actually lose the tiebreaker vote and if the node hosting the VCS were to fail, you would lose the quorum of the cluster.

    VC running within the cluster will work, but it is complicated on a cluster 2 knots because you may lose the ability to manage the cluster if the node hosting the Victoria Cross were to fail.  You want to have the DB Backup VC and a strategy to recover.

  • 5.1 VSA running vCenter and VSA cluster service

    I read that you can run in 5.1 VSA vCenter who is also true on the VSA cluster service?

    It seems that you can accomplish # 2 more easily.  You can simply

    1. Stop server old VCS
    2. Install the VCS on the new host application (without first adding the old address of VCS)
    3. Run "Reconfigure the network" in the VSA Manager, change address VCS to the host of the new address.
  • The first Installation fails after first Boot of the Satellite L750

    Hello.

    I turned on my brand-new Satellite L750 - 04K 010 for the first time tonight (bought new) and start going through the initial setup process for Windows 7 Home Premium. The installation must "Installing devices" and then hung up without activity for about 2 hours, how I decided to restart.

    Then I kept getting the error windows installation has failed and would then need to restart the installation process. The computer will restart but kept coming up with the same error and the loop would continue even once.

    I have not received the installation discs.

    I tried to press F8 to see if the computer repair would work but only gave options to repair the system to a previous state. No Toshiba option was available.

    Help!

    Thanking you in advance,

    Greg

    It's pretty stupid situation now.
    If there is no way to launch the installation of recovery once again I recommend your dealer and ask for help. With other words, ask for the replacement of the laptop.

    What you can also do is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and explain the situation. I put t know what they can do for you, but I imagine that you will get a DVD of recovery for the installation of the OS.

    Of course I n don't know what the right solution, but I don't see another option for you.

  • Satellite L500-1ZR - battery died during the first installation

    Hello

    I really hope someone can help me.

    During the first time I started my new Toshiba Satellite L500-1ZR battery died and my laptop turns off. I was in the middle of the installation and now when I start it, it gives a word of warning: "the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error." Windows Setup cannot continue. To install Windows, click OK to restart the computer, and then restart the installation. "However, when I click OK it restarts and I find myself the exact same caveat. I tried F2 and F12 to see if he had options to do a startup repair and also I inserted a disc on which I downloaded a hardware configuration, but it won't work.

    Anyone got some ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi belisu,

    The advanced boot menu, you can access via the F8 key before Windows starts.
    With the F2 and F12 button, you can access the BIOS menu and start.

    So try to use the F8 key to access the Windows Advanced Boot menu and try to start the Windows repair option. It starts from Toshiba HARD drive recovery and restore settings factory.

    Good luck! :)
