• Failed to create the gateway for virtual data center edge

  Hello

  I'm new to the vCD, when I tried to create a "bridge of edge" for the virtual data center, it failed, saying:

  Deployment of edge gateway PALEdgeGateway has failed.

  com.vmware.vcloud.fabric.nsm.error.VsmException: error response VSM (10105): could not publish configuration on vShield Edge. Has no power on VM vse-PALEdgeGateway (66b92dc1-c973-4744-8c0e-88e2d2211eae)-0. (No host is compatible with virtual machine).

  then I found this KB, suspecting that vShield that Manager is not synchronized with vCD:

  http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2060542

  I followed the steps in this KB resolution, but still did not work.

  Does anyone have an idea? Thank you very much!

  Hi FredrickGu,

  Really sorry for the late reply. Our working hours doesn't seem to be the same.

  You are right that VShield Manager & POSSIBLE are the same. You will be able to deploy the Cluster edges & host view,

  Select a resource of data centers in the inventory tree, click the visualization of network tab and click the + to add edges. Ensure that we test the edge deployment against a successful VCD Host.If deployment works, it confirms the deployment of edge is certainly intact and communication POSSIBLE-host is very well.

• Virtual data center provider and Clusters of calculation ESXi

  I have 5 ESXi compute clusters, each with 10 ESXi servers in them.  Can I have more than one virtual data center provider for a single ESXi Compute Cluster?

  A links of virtual data center (pVDC) provider of a simple installation resources pool.  As many times as the list of resources is a list of resources of a ROOT cluster, but it doesn't have to be.

  You can extend your pVDC with "elastic pVDC" and the provider of a link to several resource pools (careful with this, you can not just move resources from one to the other to release one later)

• Moving cluster in the new data center in virtual Center.

  Hi all

  I want to store my virtual Center layout. To do this, I want to move an existing cluster that exists on another physical site in a newly created in the virtual data center. When I try to move the existing cluster object, I get an error saying "the operation is not supported on the object.

  This does mean that I have to create a cluster and move the hosts one at a time, or is there a way to move the real cluster?

  Thanks in advance.

  You have to re-create the cluster indeed. Logout of the host, and then add the host to the new cluster.

• Virtual data centers how to a campus of double site?

  We begin to plan for a migration of vSphere 4.1 and 5.1.  We have two data centers several miles share a link 10 gig.  In our current setup, we have a virtual data center that includes the host esx on both sites.  VMotion and storage vmotion work well on the link 10 gig.  HA and DRS are not currently configured, but it will be included in the new configuration.  I'm looking for the advantages and disadvantages to continue having a virtual Datacenter, against two, one for each physical site that includes only the servers at this place, that is, buildling1-vdc, would include esx1 bldg1, bldg1-esx2, etc., and construction2-vdc, would include construction2-esx1, bldg2-esx2, etc.. We would be able to preserve the beaches of IPS to each site in the case of a link failure.    As I understand it, we would not power of vmotion or HA and DRS established between the two virtual data centers.  Other have a virtual infrastructure of several location connected by links broadband?  If you do, how much virtual datcenters you have and how they are configured?

  Please ask questions if you need more specific information to answer the question.

  a "Datacenter" vCenter object is a limit for the vMotion and distributed vSwitches. So, if you want to migrate virtual machines between the buildings / clusters these groups must be part of the object of data center. Also if you want to have similar networks on both sides and you want to use Distributed vSwitched then you will need to have both part of clusters of the same domain controller so that the VDS objects are pushed down.

• Virtual Server Center down and as its also the license server, it cannot start

  I have the virtual center server which is also the license as a virtual machine server. We had problems with the SAN today and decided to move this server to local storage in the case of other issues during the weekend, until we can diagnose/solve the problems of SAN. However, it will not start back up to stop the virtual machine to move (no installation storage vmotion again) and complains that cannot see the license server, the license server's so how can we start it?

  I tested stop this server before and to work around the problem, then we have just activated evaluation mode, the server restarted, and he returned to the license server mode when it was high, but he used to do that now and I can not start any vm at all and since most of them failed because of problems with SAN storage I need to get this resolved as soon as possible. The difference between when we tested before and now 4 months and update 3 has been applied recently.

  How do I start the server in its current or is configuration - it is no longer possible to use the evaluation mode and we do the licensing of other words, IE non-virtual?

  ......

  I managed to start the server using VM Player running in another physical server, but this is not an ideal long-term solution, but out me an affair until we solve this problem.

  Many people run in this mode.

  As a backup, just getting up an another license server using your existing key.  Point the ESX host with virtual machine on it to the 'temp' license server by connecting to the host ESX directly with the VI Client.

  Back up the virtual machine.

  Change license server address that you modified on the back of ESX host.

• data center issues

  I have two data centers in a virtual Center and there is no communication between data centers. But I need to transfer at distance a V/M to a datacenter to another and vice versa... Can I download files from datacenter1 to the virtual Center and virtual data center 2... How is it possible... Please let me know if there is another way to transfer files from one data center to others...

Please let me know if there is another way to transfer files from one data center to others...

  Are you sure that datacenter1 cannot communicate with datacenter2 on the network?  What datacenter is the vCenter Server?

  Your options:

  1. turn off power the virtual computer and perform a migration of cold in all of your data center.

  2. power off the virtual computer.

  -Use the database browser to download the VM folder and store files on the vCenter server.

  -Using the browser from data store to download the folder and files in a data store in the second datacenter.

  3. you can use a tool third 3rd as Veeam FastSCP or WinSCP to copy the files and folder VM to a data store in datacenter1 in a data store in datacenter2.

  4. you could also use VMware converter to V2V the virtual machine then it turn off and remove from the source data center.

  If you provide more details or have any questions, I will be able to go further in these options.

• example of Perl to get the host data center

  Hi all

  I try to get the data center for a specific host.  Now I can get the full list of data centers with:

  use strict;

  use warnings;

  use VMware::VIM2Runtime;

  use VMware::VILib;

  OPTS::parse();

  OPTS::Validate();

  Util::Connect();

  My $dcenter_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type = & gt; "Data center");

  {foreach (@$dcenter_views)}

  Print $_ - & gt; name. "," . $_ - & gt; name. ";;";

  }

  But I can't seem to find a way that works to get it to only a specific host, rather then a complete list.  Could someone please provide an example of how to do this?

  So I cleaned up your script a little, mostly some optimizations.  I used the construction in the occupied Palestinian territories: module to add a host name parameter to the script instead of using ARGV.  I changed it so it checks for a valid host view before you start your loop, no point in a loop in data centers, if your host name is not a valid real hostname in your inventory of VI.  Take a look at the label of the LOOP, I cleaned up.   You want to leave the loop after you find the data center.

  Just to show you how much faster my original script is logical, I wrote it also another version of my script using the Perl toolkit.  It was > 3.5s faster on my independent ESX host.  It is largely because find_entity_view() functions essentially look the whole game ManagedObject property reference, which is pretty intensive.  This gets quite slow in a larger environment and is compounded in a nested loop.  Usually, I try to avoid the use of find_entity_view() strongly in my scripts for this reason.

  Do not hesitate to work with whatever version you like best.  I think the good scripts to do the work.

  Find_entity_views() using nested:

  #!/usr/bin/perl -w
  
  use strict;
  use warnings;
  
  use VMware::VIRuntime;
  
  my %opts = (
       hostname => {
       type => "=s",
       variable => "HOSTNAME",
       help => "Name of managed ESX host",
       required => 1,
       }
  );
  Opts::add_options(%opts);
  Opts::parse();
  Opts::validate();
  
  Util::connect();
  
  my ($host_views, $datacenter, $hostname);
  $hostname = Opts::get_option('hostname');
  
  my $host = Vim::find_entity_view(
       view_type => 'HostSystem',
       filter => { name => $hostname },
  );
  
  unless (defined $host) {
       Util::disconnect();
       die "No host matching '$hostname' found.\n";
  }
  
  my $datacenter_view = Vim::find_entity_views(view_type => 'Datacenter');
  
  LOOP: foreach (@$datacenter_view)
  {
       $datacenter = $_->name;
       $host_views = Vim::find_entity_views(
            view_type => 'HostSystem', begin_entity => $_
       );
  
       foreach (@$host_views)
       {
            if ($_->name eq $host->name)
            {
                 print "$datacenter\n";
                 last LOOP;
  
            }
       }
  }
  
  Util::disconnect();
  

  The sample output:

• Mini Data Center design

  Hello

  I have a few doubts about the best solution for the design of a mini data center.

  In the data center, there is a 6500 with FWSM module installed, there are a few created vlans, each of them in the fwsm module. For example, a back-end to communicate with a server in the front end server must always go through the firewall. My question is, these flows through the firewall that does not reduce the speed of communication?

  What is the best practice, just to pass the communications with the Wan in the firewall, and the communication of vlan between front-end and back-end is only set up to 6500?

  Thank you

  Although security is a subject with many facets. How to fix you can do things depends on part on your needs to provide the functionality for the application to work.

  If the database servers do not need to Internet, just keep on a VLAN internal only and do not allow to be routed even initialized requests internally by. If the database servers have need to talk to the Internet (why is this really necessary would be a good question to ask - a bastion host could be used instead?), then lock the rules in the FWSM with an access list that allows only addresses and ports as necessary for the minimum necessary service work.

  In any scenario, your should analyse your servers (for example with Nessus) and harden to reduce their exposed attack surface. Additional measures could include things like Tripwire on the servers to block further down. Audit of system access - and actually looking at the newspapers! -also helps. Tools such as iptables on Linux or Windows Firewall servers must be a lever to allow only the communications in and out of the box as necessary so that it can perform its designated function.

  Hello

  I found the solution.

  I disabled the JOB BE general relativity.

• Orchestrator 5.1 REPORT-all the virtual machines in the data center and create a CSV file

  Hello

  What I basically want to do is create a report CSV of all virtual machines in the data center with various information (VMname, domain name FULL, IPaddress, status, data warehouses, tools etc...).  The export list in the client feature is insufficient (especially for any KPI report).

  Problem: (workflow is still under construction so real email send does not not and need to clean the code)

  I am stuck at the part of the creation of a table that can be parsed correctly in the CSV file.  2 ways I've tried will produce a report of single object or combine all of the table into a single string (where I am now).  I think the main problem I have is that I have to create a 2D within my service to push toward the final table that is written to the CSV format.  Basically, I do not understand how to push my variables in a loop of a table.

  Any help or assistance?

  Thank you

  B

  BOOM!

  Added some comments, removed the hardcoded in the csv temp file, deleted path the hardcoded port 25 for SMTP - mail settings should come from the configuration of the MAIL plug-in. And fixed / confirmed that the workflow now includes the attachment for e-mail and ends with success!

• How to add a data center on the virtual center via VI client server?

  How to add a data center on the virtual center via VI client server?

  I formatted ESX server & ESX Server Update installed keeping the data center on the storage (of many desktop computers)

  Now I have fresh installed a new server of virtual & added the ESX Server, but I'm unable to reattach existing data centers on storage.

  What will be the way to import of existing data on server Center virtual center?

  Help, please...

  Is ' VMware-VMimporter - 2.0.0 - 30557 "is the software through which I can solve my problem?

  You need to browse each data store, go to the folder of the virtual machine, right-click on the *.vmx file and add it to your inventory.
