Group related modes. 4.0 to 4.1

• Related modes, nothing happens?

  I have built 3 separate independent vCenter servers during the last 2 months. DR, VDI and PROD.  Each is based on Windows 2008 R2 and vCenter 4.0 with update 1 is running.  They are also all on the same domain with the firewall disabled.  PROD was done last and I wanted it to be the first server in a connected mode configuration.  So, I proceeded to connect on the server DR and ran the vCenter Server Linked Mode Configuration in the menu start and choose Change Linked Mode Configuration.  I ticked the box "Instance of vCenter server joining an existing group of related modes" or another instance (isolate is greyed out) and registered in the domain name FULL of PROD with Port 389 LDAP server.  Installation completed without error, but when I connect to PROD with the vSphere Client, I don't see anything about DR.  I tried the same procedure with the Server VDI and which shows no more.  I don't have any errors, but nothing seems to happen.  Am I missing something?  Help!

  Try this: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1009551

  Also, try to set up the linked profiles logged in as the same user that you have installed vCenter (or try local administrator).

• VCenter Mgmt and calculation with single SSO and related modes?

  I am a great vCAC environment design and want to separate not only Mgmt/Compute clusters, but also of the vCenters.   I want to be able to manage these inLinkedMode vCenter.  My plan is to have 2 vCenter VM and VM Web/asingleSSO.    When you install the two vCenters, I've just direct them to the server shared Web SSO, and then enableLinkedMode?

  Will this work?  Something else I'm missing?  AsingleWeb server instance will be able to manage multiple vCenters?

  Thank you

  Hello, MattG.

  Yes, you can use 1 SS and 1 service WebClient for "single-pane-of-view" for 2 vCenters, I did the same thing recently, and you need not related modes. Just point your SSO and Web when installing two vCenters. But in this case, you can manage both of them single point in the Web Client, no thick vSphere client. If you need to manage two of them only heavy customer too, then you should make the related modes, but in this case as far as I know, you must also install multi-site SSO, not simple SSO node. I use the first schema.

  Sorry for my bad English.

• "Destroyed" vCenter Server - can it be removed from related modes?

  Hi all

  I have set up a small laboratory using esx 4.0 and vcenter 4.0 all them was working fine until today.

  There are 2 servers vcenter linked mode. Today one of the servers (it was actually my office running as the second vcenter in the config of bound modes) "crashed" at a point that I'm not sure that it is worth trying to get windows back up again (bad registry file loading failure)

  I would like to know how I can remove the second instance of vcenter configuration, so I get the nagging 1 vCenter server is not connected error message.

  It would be even possible to reinstall windows, reinstall vcenter, assuming that the host names and intellectual property stay the same and the removal of bound mode later?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Sorry for your fatal system shutdown.

  Well, I don't know if it is possible to reinstall

  Windows, reinstall vCenter, hostname/IP condition remain the same.

  and then remove VC related modes.

  Bound mode, you have added the two systems to the same domain. So for now, you could try removes the VC domain and connect to the system running and the VC as the local administrator.

  In addition, I don't know what options you would get if you'd called Installer VC once more on the virtual circuit running. It might give you an option to separate the the Victoria Cross VC crashed (not sure but maybe worth a try).

  Thank you.

• SSO domain ID correspond with membership of related modes

  Hello

  SSO is of course a pain in the @$S, I have created two fresh instances of vCenter. All services have been installed individually (so no simple installation).

  The two instances are configured for multisite

  Before installing the second instance I exported as explained in the articles UNIQUE authentication data.
  I created the second instance in the same way. Has pointed out my primary server for SSO SSO using multimode.
  Once 2nd vCenter was running I exported the UNIQUE authentication data and imported on the primary standards body, again according to the instructions in KB.

  Then I tried to join the second instance in bound mode the first instance that fails.
  The tool.log of status.txt file and join say there is an incompatibility of domain ID. Apparently this happens when not to use the multisite SSO, but I set it up in these two facilities.

  What could be the cause of that time? I found an article that talks of veryfying ID but for some reason that I do not have access

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & externalId = 2050493 & sliceId = 1 & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & dia...

  I checked that the first Victoria Cross and indeed appearing as part of a config attached. I was not able to isolate configuration as editor that reported an error. I managed to get it joined after I deleted the 2nd VC instance by the ADSI Configurator in the first instance.
  It seems so when there is an error with joining during installation that it leaves some settings behind which prevents to join them later.

• possible bug in colorTransform-related mode full screen (projector and standalone flash player 10)

  Hi all

  It seems to have hit a bug in the current drive (tested on 10.1.52.14):

  If I programmatically change the color of a sprite consisting in a text and a circle the output is different if the application is in mode full-screen (the text is not colored in fs)

  In my class mousedown event handler I call the following (slightly simplified the code to make things easier to understand here):

  var cTrans:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();

  _hColor =0xD78500
  Recolor the clicked sprite
  cTrans.color = _hColor;

  this.transform.colorTransform = cTrans;

  This is what I get in windowed mode (expected behavior):

  It's the same sprite full screen:

  I can switch between windowed mode and full screen and the text gets colorful or not, as stated above.

  Anyone got clues about what's going on? I mean that's not supposed to probably not be that way...

  No solution (easy) workaround?

  Thank you very much

  Mike

  Well I tried to make a projector and do not see with it, but then again my install puts 10.0.22.87 in the projector.

  I could try changing the Sprite to a MovieClip and see if that helps.

• How to group related bookmarks (roses, iris, crocus) under a single bookmark (flowers) I have W7 and FF10.

  I don't see how I could be more concise - I'll give you another example: we'll, I have several Favorites, by example, Chevrolet, Ford, Audi, Porsche, Jeep, etc.. Suppose I want to reduce the size of my total bookmarks list. In some previous versions, I could go to ORGANIZE, create a NEW folder, name it, for example, AUTOMOBILES and drag and drop individual bookmarks (Chevrolet, Ford, Audi, for example) in the new AUTO folder. I can't find how to do this now. I'm busy in my days in the business world. The IT department (then EDP) referred to everyone as an elitist very remote USERS - we could never ask an even a question, it seemed, without their helping us to reaffirm, using their specific acronyms and jargon! The more things change, more they stay the same! OK, this former user feels better now and is sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding and your help! Thank you! Denny

  Or you can right click on your Favorites bar and open new folders there. Bookmarks can be moved or saved in folders - flowers, Auto etc.

  Accessible folders on your bookmarks bar is a good alternative to have an unwieldy number of open tabs.

  We have 2 versions of VCenter 2,5 and 4,0

  Version 2.5 is running ESX 3.02 and the 4.0 is running ESX 4.0 Vshpere

  No, you can't. You can only bind VC4 to VC4.

• How to clean an installation Vcenter 5.5 missed a second server vCenter linked mode

  Hello

  First of all, my situation:

  I managed to install the following services on a single box:

  vCenter Single Sign-On (Vcenter Single Sign-on to your first server vCenter Server)

  vSphere Web Client

  vCenter Inventory Service

  vCenter Server

  The first properly installed vCenter (SRMVC.test.local).

  I then ran the installation on the second vCenter server (SRMVCDR.test.local)

  vCenter Single Sign-On (vCenter Single Sign-on for an additional vCenter server with a new site)

  vSphere Web Client

  vCenter Inventory Service

  vCenter Server (linked modes) * impossible *.

  I came across a mistake by joining the vCenter linked mode.  I then tried to force who do not have, and installation cancelled.   I think I am facing this problem described in this KB:

  Connecting two servers vCenter fails with the error: error 28039.Setup cannot join vCenter Server group related modes (1026087)

  http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2006850

  Now, I see a series of problems with the virtual machine that may be the root cause.  When I open the Server Manager there is an error when I try to view the roles or features.   The error I see is:

  Unexpected error refreshing Server Manager: element not found (except for HRESULT:0 x 80070490)

  To make a long story short:

  I don't really want to solve the problem on the virtual machine.  I think there could be a problem with the template I've deployed this virtual machine from and I would just blow it way and the redeployment of a new model. The problem is that, in the previous installs, I had trouble to reinstall a second vCenter after a failure to install because different services have already been registered with the first SSO server.

  My question:

  How to completely clean all the necessary components on the first server vCenter after a failed install a second server vCenter mode related?  I think that the second server is not only with its own UNIQUE authentication server, but also with the first server in the SSO site located on SRMVC.test.local.  I want to blow any trace of it so that the environment is pristine and so that I can use the same name of the second vcenter (VCSRMDR.test.local) when I reinstall.

  If the second vcenter also has its own SSO installed on the same machine and the second SSO has been installed in multisite mode (should be Yes, because the main goal is to related modes), you need a clean to the top of the first SSO vmdrd.

  VMware support specific utility to get this done, please file a case for support.

  Installing vCenter isn't going to be a problem, each installation has a user ID application created with the date of installation, this ID and certificate (which should be unique for a new installation, disable ssl programdata folders if re - install) are used to record vcenter to OSP.

  So the old entries will not be a problem for the other components.

  ever since the webclient service, you can remove users from the application:

  Log webclient with [email protected] the first web client.

  Under setting up users and groups, under the users Application tab, you can see all the application registered users.

  To identify that one to remove

  for vcenter, check the file C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VirtualCenter Server\ssoregtool\vssso.properties.

  Once you know the job vcenter ID, you can delete the ID of the other.

  Ditto for the inventory service, the inventory service ID can be found in C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Inventory Service\conf\sso.ini

  For webclient files is C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphereWebClient\SsoRegTool\sso_conf\solution.ini

  vCenter and webclient has a user record solution with sso, which must be removed from the command line. This is the KB for this: 2033238

  again, you can use the above mentioned files to identify the one to delete.

• Multimode vCenter Server 5.1 modes related vs

  I will be installing two servers vCenter 5.1 in two different sites.

  What are the factors that influence the decision to install using linked modes, or to use a sign on single server in multimode?

• vCenter Linked Mode and Perl SDK

  Hello

  our VMware environment is divided into two physical places represented as two instances of vCenter. The two vCenters are interconnected. I think that its Mode called "related"?

  Is it possible to use the Perl SDK also bound mode? Currently, I have to manually interrogate both our vCenters and then sort out myself.

  (1) How to configure Perl SDK so I only authenticate once against our environment in Linked mode?

  (2) How can I build queries against the API so results will include objects in the two vCenters? That is to say. If I run a ' Vim::find_entity_views (view_type = > 'VirtualMachine') "I want to get all the objects 'VirtualMachine' in the two vCenters I can avoid running two separate queries and then later combining query results? ".

  Thank you!

  Thomas Willert

  It is not a published API method, but there is a way to get the vCenter server list in a group of related modes.  I have an explanation and sample code: http://www.virtuin.com/2012/12/querying-vcenter-linked-mode-with.html

  With respect to authentication, if your vCenter instances use the same permissions (which is recommended), then it's just a matter to authenticate each vCenter.  This is what the native client as well (if you have never installed vCenters with different permissions, you will see the login for each vCenter prompt).

  If you look at the blog post I linked earlier, you self an example of authentication each vCenter as well.  Basically you call Util::connect() two times, once for each of your URL for vCenter.  However, do not delete the global VIM uses the SDK package, or it will default to the last vCenter.  I show in the example script: LinkedModeExample.pl

  With respect to the combination of queries... not so easy.  You need to redesign each vCenter with $vim-> find_entity_views().  Now on a more advanced note, API is powerful enough to make custom inventory queries, you can usually pick up and keep the updates in your objects.

  What I would recommend as a simple approach is two calls to find_entity_views, then push them in a hash or an array.  You'll just want to use the UUID vCenter:

  $vc_uuid is $vim1-> get_service_content()-> {'about'}-> {'instanceUuid'};.

  The instanceUuid has been added in vCenter 4.x and later versions (do not have in the past 2.5 vCenter instances).  Then use this instanceUuid + moref as hash keys.  This is important because the morefs can be duplicated between vCenters.

  So, you can then create a hash:

  My % vm_hash;

  foreach my {$entity (@$vm_views)}

  My $moref = $entity-> {'mo_ref'}-> {'value'}; # will be vm-# for virtual machines

  $vm_hash {$vc_uuid.} "+". $moref} = $entity;

  }

  Then you can quickly research specific VMs and keep separate them between vCenters.

  You'll find it works for simple data queries, but you start to get more items of inventory (say for an inventory report), the relationship becomes more complex and the number of objects grow.  I did work to push these values in a database and files (including by running it on 5 or less than weight and WaitForUpdatesEx), excel, which works well if you have the time to build the DB and the work of database object schemas.  Just use instanceUuid + Moref value as primary key to prevent any moref vCenter cross reuse value.

  The other option is that the vim reference is added to each object, so you can just get the data of each entity:

  foreach my {$vm (@$vm_views)}

  Print "VM:". "." $vm-> {'name'}. "\n";

  Print "InstanceUuid VC:". $vm-> {'vim'}-> {'service_content'}-> {'about'}-> {'instanceUuid'}. "\n";

  Print "ServiceUrl VC:". $vm-> {'vim'}-> {'service_url'}. "\n";

  }

  I have a project that I tinker with in my spare time (which is rare these days) which aims to consolidate multiple vCenters into one database for queries and reports, but I didn't get far enough away from share it (very rude, but works for a subset of data at present, but it is very effective for collecting loose on<5s intervals).="">

  You can also look into VMware Orchestrator.  Orchestrator can connect to multiple vCenters and caches data for access by automation.  According to your WAN performance, he can work a geographic site and make sure that you need (just watch the moref, names of entities and other potential overlap between vCenters) aggregated data.

• vCenter Server Linked Mode Configuration

  Buenos dias a todos,

  UNA pregunta: Se you can use/configurar el complement "vCenter Server Linked Mode Configuration" between various VC (verse 5) en Dominios different y SIN relaciones confianza?

  Hi all
  A question: you can use / set up the "vCenter Server Linked Mode Configuration" card from several VC (verse 5) in different domains WITHOUT trust relationships?

  Official documentation:

  Instances of server vCenter in a group of related modes can be in different areas, if the domains have a two-way trust relationship. Each area must approve other areas on which the server vCenter instances are installed.

• ADAM mode Linked VCenters db replication

  Hi all

  I have to total 6 VCenters in bound mode.

  I reinstalled on them today (using the same DB) and connect to this VCenters all are visible.

  But when I try to connect to one of the other 5 that newly installed VCenter isn't visible in the linked Group.

  Thus, when I connect to VCenter 02-03-04-05-06 are all visible together but all of them have no VC01 in the related group.

  VC01 has each of them.

  I checked with ADSI Edit on all 5 servers are 01 instance does not already exist.

  My question: How do I solve it? any way to force ADAM replication?

  Thank you very much
