Having problems setting up a 5.5 vCenter Server VM in a domain configuration...

I'm trying to implement a vCenter Server VM (new installation, no upgrade) without an Active Directory domain that is available.  I was able to do this successfully in the past with 5.0 and 5.1, but now with 5.5 I have problems.

Installing SSO works fine and displays warnings expected that the server is not on a domain and the certificate will be bound to the INVESTIGATION period.

When I then try to run Setup from the inventory Service, it fails when you try to connect to the SSO:

"Could not connect to vCenter Single Sign On.  Make sure that the Search Service URL points correctly to the vCenter Single Sign On the instance that you installed.  If vCenter Single Sign-On is installed with an IP address, make sure that the IP address is specified in the URL.

5.0 and 5.1, in order to get this installation runs correctly, I would like to enter the IP address in the URL (as it says in the error), and he'd be fine.  So the address provided for the Research Service URL is https://< ip_address >: 7444/lookupservice/sdk

I tried several variants for the fields of FULL domain name and URL of the Service search without success.

Can someone confirm a successful for 5.5 off-field installation?  And if so, try to direct me in the right direction?

I end up doing work, it turned out to be an order of operations issue.

I tried to install SSO, then service inventory, then Web Service, then vcenter Server.  And on a domain, this order actually worked well.  For some reason any, when not on a domain, they must go SSO-> Web Service-> Service-> vCenter Server inventory (this command works in both scenarios, just to be clear).

  • Displacement of the ESX 4.0 host a VCenter server in different Windows domain

    Hi people,

    Current situation: two ESX 4.0 host controlled by a VCenter 4.0 Server (Cluster) within a Windows Server 2003 - field. All the user access control is done with the users in the domain of the old domain. The cluster and all the VMS are running fine without any problem.

    There is a Windows 2008 domain. We want to set up a new server VCenter 4.0 inside the new domain and move both ESX 4.0 hosts to the new cluster / VCenter Server 4.0.

    What is the right way to do it without block me out Vcenter / ESX?

    1) implemented the new vcenter one create a cluster

    (2) removing both the old cluster ESX servers

    (3) joining the two ESX servers to the new cluster

    (4) granting the domain users from access to the new domain to virtual machines...

    Is it really that easy?

    Should which accounts I include both ESX hosts to the new vcenter/cluster? The root-password? We have forgotten, but there is a way to reset it (single user mode), this shouldn't be a big problem.

    Thank you for your kind support,

    Wolfgang

    You must add the hosts to the new cluster through their DNS names and supply the root password when prompted.

    Make sure that select "piggyback pools of resources of the host" If you want to keep your pools on the new vCenter. To do this you must enable DRS in the new cluster too.

  • VMWare vCenter Server Appliance / 2012R2 Windows domain

    Hi all
    I've recently updated my domaincontrollers to R2 2012 WIndows, and I installed vCenter on a vm through the ovf appliance. After you have configured the vCenter in the web gui, I can join the domain successfully and the virtual center appears in the field. After a restart of the virtualcenter, I'm not able to find the field in the client to vcenter under permissions. (version vCenter: VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-5.5.0.5101-1398493)

    Someone at - it a tip on how to fix this?

    You must login to webclient using [email protected] and navigate to the SSO configuration. Select your ad that you added and make this default domain. This makes the announcement should appear in the menu drop-down.

  • Problem setting transition duration first pro cs4. Is this a bug?

    Hello world

    I have made a project of first pro cs4 and I'm having problems setting the duration of transitions between clips. I have my default transion set to cross dissolve them and 15 frames in length. When I try to lengthen, it seems that first makes two transitions in instead of a longer one. So, if for example I got a clip with a dip to black when I extend more than 15 default images to say 30 images I get two separate transitions one after the other instead of a long. I know it's difficult to understand so I downloaded the video on youtube. If fast forward you to the minute 01:20, you will see the latest bland given away with a dip to black transition and the you'll be right flash a bit after the last light disappears. I hope someone can help me solve this problem, as I'm completaly lost. Thank you :-)

    Work waaay too hard at this, dude.  Just use the default chained.  It gives you good fade to the top using all 24 images, no adjustment necessary.

  • vCenter Server Component install hangs on the installation directory services

    Hello

    I'm on a 64-bit OS of Windows 2008. I update vCenter 5.5 Update 2 and 5.5 updated 3d.  I can install the SSO, WebClient and Inventory Service very well without any problems.  I get to the vCenter server component and it hangs on "Install Directory Services".  I checked the vminst.log and I get:

    "Try to start ["C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe"/c start /w C:\Windows\system32\ocsetup.exe DirectoryServices-ADAM/passive /norestart].


    I Googled that and of course a dozen connections to users having problems with installing the server vCenter on Windows 2012R2 lack the ocsetup.exe. As I said, I'm still on Win2008.  I have not ran sfc/scannow - no chance.  I tried to copy the ocsetup.exe from a Win2008 well-known to vCenter box - same thing.  Tried different accounts thinking I have a bad profile - no luck.  Anyone have a similar problem?

    well, too bad.  I guess I wasn't be patient.  This time I let it "hang" and it finally finished after almost an hour.  At least see the progress bar move would have been useful.

  • vCenter Server does not send data to vCenter Log Insight

    I second vCenter server in another site, in Insight Log connection tests but I don't see any data from it...

    ESXi hosts connected to this server vcenter report their data after you run the command configure esxi on the tank.

    Where I can watch on the vCenter box that does not ensure that its installation correctly to send the data?

    Log Insight does not change to vCenter server so there is not place to search the vCenter Server (API calls only - you could try to look at events for the instance of vCenter Server view connection / disconnection of the events in log Insight). Usually when the vCenter Server events, tasks and alarms are not observed it stresses a connection permissions problem. The user specified for vCenter Server integration - must read-only permissions that are set on the object level superior vCenter Server and have you selected the checkbox to enable the authorization to broadcast across all objects?

  • vCenter Server 5.5 requires a reboot

    Hi all

    We need to restart vCenter Server 5.5, and it is running on a physical server and also hosting DB SQL on the same physical server.

    Please let us know what precautions to take before restarting the vCenter server.

    Kind regards

    Ajay

    You can restart the vCenter server as you would any other server system.

    Once the server is online. Verify SQL service, vCenter, all are running.

    As you run SQL locally, then it would be preferable to set the delayed start for vCenter server service and vCenter management services.

    While the SQL service start first, then the vCenter services.

    as usual, you can take backup of SQL DB or windows system state backup, but this is not a sine qua non for vCenter reboot.
