Get smashed on vCenter 5.1 Setup SSO

VMWare experts,

Get smashed on the vCenter 5.1 Setup SSO and I was wondering if I could get assistance.

That's what I've done so far:

1.) Execute the "rsaIMSLiteMSSQLSetupTables.sql".

2.) change only the part "C:\Changeme" of the script that has been 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQL2K8R2\MSSQL\DATA '.

3.) Execute the script that creates a database named RSA

I then went to vCenter install Simple which began by installing the SSO, I set myself on.

Under Database Type: I chose MSSQL:

I paint a white following the syntax remaining fields.

The names of the affected servers are:

Name of the SQL Server: TEST - SQL01.test.local

Named instance of SQL: SQL2K8R2

vCenter Server: TEST - VC01.test.local (where I install the SSO, inventory service, etc.)

No idea on what to set for name of database, Windows, JDBC URL, authentication etc.

I tried to follow the installation guide and there was no mention of whether I needed to implement ODBC connections or something like that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Of course, I'll be happy to help you, Tony!  Of course, I thought the vSphere 5.1 Setup Guide and was a little kludgy SSO, too.

Assuming that you already had a MSSQL DB taken in charge and install SSO on another virtual Windows computer or server (SSO vCenter separation is a best practice), here is what I recommend to you present to SSO with a database of MSSQL remote (not a local MSSQLEXPRESS).

Note: Your Windows SSO server does not belong to an AD domain at this point because you can combine SSO with AD al later through the Web Client of VirtualCenter, but if she is joined before running the installation of SSO, it will save you this step.

While there may be other methods supported to install SSO, here are the basic steps that worked for me:

  • Locate the rsaIMSLiteMSSQLSetupTables.sql on the installation of vCenter 5.1 ISO ([drive]: \Single Sign On\DBScripts\SSOServer\schema\mssql\) and double-click it in the MSSQL Server, which will open in SQL Management Studio for editing running.
  • Change the paths of the three[C:\CHANGEME\...] in the SQL script with the file appropriate to your DBs & Trans newspapers railways.  In my case, I put the DB and indexes on D:\MSSQL\DB and on E:\MSSQL\LOGS newspapers
  • Run the script, and if all goes well, he will create a RSA in MSSQL database and successfully complete
  • [IMPORTANT] Right-click on the top level of SQL Server icon and select Properties, select Security and select Windows and SQL Server authentication mode (it is now a requirement of VMware as indicated on page 241 of vSphere 5.1 Setup Guide and) and click OK.
  • Restart MSSQL & Agent of Service for this setting to take effect.
  • Create a new SQL user account (i.e. sso) in MSSQL Server-> Security-> connections in the hierarchy of SQL Management Studio (make sure that the account does not require that you must change the password during its first connection) and give it to the server role SYSADMIN and dbo in the DB of RSA under mapping of users, click OK.
    • Note: You can avoid running the other SQL 'users' script mentioned in thevSphere 5.1 Installation Guide and for creating user SSO if you do this step and let the SSO installation program create the necessary users to the site.
  • Sign in to your soon SSO Windows server as administrator
    • Note: Ensure that your Windows server is properly would be hostname, IP would be, with before and would reverse DNS synchronization and clocks.  See the documentation for the other terms, if necessary.  You can join an AD domain if you want right now.
  • Start the program installation 5.1 SSO to the ISO 5.1 vCenter vCenter.
  • Create a main node for SSO (assuming this is your first), click Next.
  • Select to create the head for a new Single Sign-On installation vCenter node (which you can later), click Next.
  • Enter a master password that you want to use for SINGLE sign-on, click Next.
  • Select use an existing supported database, click Next
    • Note: Because SSO uses JDBC, there is no need to create an ODBC System DSN for SSO.
  • Enter RSAin the database name field, enter your MSSQL Server's FULL domain name in the field name of host or IP address and, finally, enter sso (from my example above) the database username and the password you created, click Next.
    • Note: nothing else on this page must be changed
  • Fill in the name of the SSO (not the IP address!) server FQDN, click Next.
  • Keep the box using network service account, click Next
    • Note: Given that I had really no specific guidance on the use of a service with SSO account, I just went with the default for now.  Perhaps in the future I will use a service account, but given the SSO is somehow independent AD I thought to go with a choice course and do not a service account AD which can be revoked if SSO is seconded of this announcement in the future.
  • Select your preferred installation folder, click Next.
  • Keep the port by default, click Next.
  • Click on install!

SSO should install correctly and to create user accounts appropriate SQL called RSA_USER & RSA_DBA.

  • Disable or remove the sso SQL Admin account you created as it is no longer necessary once the SSO is installed.

Then, to install the Service to vCenter inventory where you want as well as the vCenter Server and Web Client (i.e. separate VMs)

Tip: You can only connect to vCenter 5.1 by using a local administrator (Windows) via vSphere Client 5.1 account.  To establish the rights vCenter to administrator in a Windows/AD user account (assuming that SSO was associated by AD), first open a session in vCenter (via vSphere Client 5.1) using admin as username and the SSO master password , you created during the installation of SSO.  Which will take you in and you can make adjustments if necessary permission.

Before that I'm totally flamed for what others might offer as a way of more refined for SSO rose, I realize VMware offers a few different implementation approaches and perhaps best practices will emerge in the coming months.  My intention was to share my success with Tony in SSO getting online and I hope this helps other people faced with this new service of vCenter.

Please do not hesitate to comment on everything that you feel could be improved with these general installation steps or let me know how it worked for you.

  • New vCenter Server install fails - SSO

    I use a new system nested for a lab at home.  I'm under Workstation 9 with the latest version of vCenter.  I have the ms SQL all set up and verified.  The clocks are set to the same time a few seconds apart.  However, during installation when I get to vCenter single sign on Information, he returned with the error:

    Incorrect entry - a command line argument is wrong, a file is not found or the spec file does not contain the required information or the clocks on the two systems are not synchronized. Check vm_ssoreg.log in the temporary folder of the system for more details.

    I checked the two KB with information about this,

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2033880

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2033875

    and after the steps, I still can't pass it.  Then, I found this blog, http://blogs.vmware.com/kb/2012/09/vcenter-server-5-1-installation-fails-with-a-wrong-input-and-certificate-already-expired-error.html#.UWZSkJOThyI and reading, I get the assumption this isn't a big deal, however, I still can't complete the installation until it is fixed, at least as far as I know.

    I'm pretty new to this forum and to implement vmware but learn a lot, but this one left me speechless right now.

    Reflections on how to solve this problem, other things to test, etc.?

  • Problem with vCenter 5.1 (W2K8) & SSO without AD

    Hi all

    I have problems with my first experiences with vC 5.1 / SSO. I have a virtual machine running W2K8 + DNS but no ads. This is what I want and need. 5.0 had no problem with that, but in 5.1, I can't make everything work.

    Installation of SSO, the inventory service and vC (all 5.1), all this hard work and all the Associates services start. However, when I then restart the virtual machine, the vC service does not start, start services very well but no vC. It all started at the session of runtime install, but not after the restart of a virtual machine. By default use SQL Express installation options dbs SSO and vC have been taken.

    vpxd.log has a relevant error of:

    "Failed while trying to connect to the SSO Admin Server: no connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

    DNS is all right, forward and backward. Despite the warning (attachment), SSO is happy to install without this AD.

    I don't understand why vC post install but then fail to start after reboot.

    Surely the vC (Win) 5.1 is not having to be in an AD domain?

    What Miss me?

    Thank you and best regards,

    I did a few more tests to prove the change the start mode of services could solve the problem.

    Today I install VC with simple installation.
    After installation completed, before the reboot, take a sanpshot of the virtual machine.
    Restart the VC, Vcenter service failed to start as usual.
    Then go back to the snapshot before restarting immediately after installation.
    And changed the start mode of service,

    vCenter single sign on Service - automatic (delayed) automatic
    VMware vCenter Inventory Service - automatic Automatic (delayed)
    VMware vSphere Profile - Driven Storage Service - from Automatic Automatic (delayed)
    VMwareVCMSDS - from Automatic Automatic (delayed)

    then restart VC.
    Services started normally vCenter.

    If the sequence to start the service really matters!

  • 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.

  • getting name from vCenter for VM

    Hello

    Is there a way to get the name of the vCenter virtual machine is managed by, if I start with the VM name?

    I have 2 vCenters joined in related modes and connect both at the same time when I run scripts. I would like to add a field in my outings such as VMname, vCenter, VMhost, etc.

    I had an idea to follow the parent files; but seem to stop at the data center.

    Thank you.

    You can retrieve the name of the property of the virtual computer object vCenter server. Like this:

    (Get-VM YourVMName).Uid.Split(":")[0].Split("@")[1]

    PowerCLI 4.1, you can extend the virtual computer object with a vCenterServer property. Like this:
