• Why can't I see hosts/guests in my vCenter while I can see them in the Web Client vSphere?

  Hello

  IM new to VmWare\PowerCLI.  The goal is to get a list of VM guests in a vCenter via PowerCLI.  I can see 80 guests when I connect via the Web Client vSphere, but when I use the PowerCLI cmdlets, a Get-VMHost returns nothing.  I did the following:

  1 connect-VIServer the username-password IluvVmWare myserver.acme.com-acme\BigDog connects fine without error.

  2. $defaultviserver | Select * shows me the default connection properties.

  3 get-data center shows me 2 data centers; DC1 and DC2

  4 get-DataCenter DC1. Get-VMHost returns nothing

  5 get-VMHost returns nothing

  6 get-vmhost-Server myserver.acme.com returns nothing

  What I do wrong with PowerCLI so I can't get a dump of the hosts on the vCenter?  I can see them all in the vSphere Web Client, so permissions seem fine.

  It looks like that there.

  You must speak with the vCenter admin I guess.

  More simple would you give permissions to view read-only on the vCenter and let this authorization to spread.

  Out of curiosity, this shows the VMHostname?

  Get - VM | Select Name,@{N='VMHost'; E={$_. VMHost.Name}}

• "Cluster contains not all hosts" in the Web Client

  Hi VMware community,.

  Anyone know why when deploying a VM from a template in the vSphere 5.5 Web Client, we see an error 'Cluster does contain all the hosts' (see screenshot)?

  Thank you

  Mike

  I could be wrong, but according to the screenshot, the specified hosts are not in the cluster, but at the level of the data center!

• How to extract the selected ESXi host user name and the password in the web client of vSphere?

  Hi all.

  I'm developing a plug-in for the web client to vsphere. I want to communicate with the selected host of ESXi in my Java Service Layer and who needs the host user name and password.

  I don't know how to search the Flex user interface layer.

  ESXi credentials are not stored in the user interface layer, you must use the vSphere SDK Web Service on the coast of java.  See vim.host.ConnectInfo.

• vCenter 5.5 Web Client displays incorrect inventory

  I have improved my vCenter to 5.1 5.5 and it works except the Web Client has the incorrect inventory data.  It lacks some virtual machines and has a few virtual computers ghost that do not exist in reality.  There are no error messages that indicate that the server is malfunctioning.  The really strange thing is that when I connect with the vSphere Client on Windows, everything is OK.  Veeam shows also all the correct inventory when it connects to the vCenter server.  If its only the Web Client that doesn't not.  Everyone knows this or have any ideas on how to force the Web Client to update?

  Edit: I forgot to mention this is VCSA

  I finally solved my problem. It turns out I used a version newer (v1.0.1).) OpenSSL that exports the key file in a different format.  You can tell because the content of the 'wrong' key file will be one - KEY PRIVATE START while the "correct content of the file key will have a----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY.»  I basically made the whole process of certificate using OpenSSL v0.9.8 below and of course, the--BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY was there and I was able to register the inventory service.

• inventory of missing vCenter using the web client?

  I just upgraded my environment to 5.1 and for some reason, one of my vCenter servers shows no inventory by using the web client. I double checked the permissions on both sites and have checked the inventory in the vSphere client and everything seems good. I have two related modes and the other shows, everything is fine. I tried repointing and re-application as in accordance with article (KB VMware: repointing and re-application VMware vCenter Server 5.1.x and components) but all exits show as being already recorded. Any ideas?

  

  Thank you.

  This is the expected behavior for the operation of the Service of the inventory.

  Searches in the vSphere Client works perfectly?

  Take a look at the following kb NOT to DO ALL THE STEPS IN THERE!

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2033620

  Only follow re-register vCenter Server with the Service of inventory for now, if the search in vSphere Client function does not work correctly.

  
  

• vSphere Web Client keeps a disconnect me!

  I use (and love) the Web Client vSphere. But after a short period of inactivity it maintains a disconnect me! It is most annoying. The former client web no never dared such a thing, but this new client seems a touch paranoid for me.

  Horizon view administrator is a similar web client for VMWare View Horizon and also used to do the same thing, but then I changed the Timeout of Session in the global settings for the maximum of 4320 minutes (3 days). Now, he respects me .

  I can't find such a setting in the Web Client. Help, please!

  Thank you.

  Take a look at setting the vSphere Web Client time-out value for how to configure the session timeout.

• 5.5 Web client, right-click in Chrome now very boring with a menu that overlap, barely usable

  My setup is vSphere 5.5 with latest edition ESXi/Vcenter, and I use Google chrome 49.0 both 45.0 Firefox on my Windows 7 computer. Recently, some change has happened to Google chrome, making it extremely annoying. Please see the photo. Notice that eventually (it started to appear on April 5), every time I'm with the right button of the mouse, a window overlapping menu web client appears, preventing me from accessing some menu web client, I tried to solve this problem by selecting 'Settings' and disable flash related things (for example access flash to the camera privacy, etc.).  How can you get rid of the menu circled in red?

  Also Firefox's question, I use 4K monitor, the web client window is very small and cannot be changed even if I have the window zoom to 250-300%, no difference.

  

  Here's how I solved the problems for these who can use Firefox, I suggest that you switch to Firefox and install Adobe flash, it's difficult for me because the last Flash on Firefox does not the web interface to scale correctly on my 4K monitor, everything seems tiny.

  (1) uninstall Google chrome,

  (2) download old version of Google chrome by visiting this site:

  Download Google Chrome 46.0.2490.80 (Enterprise version for Windows - OldVersion.com

  (3) after the installation, turn off the update of Google chrome auto, here's the info:

  Disable updates of Chrome - Super user

  It will be implicitly security once you disable Chrome/flash update, if someone else finds the best solution, do not hesitate to add your opinion here.

  Update: this evening, the flash inside my google chrome (still in version 46.0.2490.80) is updated to the latest edition, automatically, I have no way to prevent this.    Now, when I use Google chrome, the annoying menu disappeared, I tried the same thing on my laptop, which hosts the last Chrome and Flash, the menu that overlap also disappeared, I wonder why?  This pi * s me off.

• Assessment of ESXi 6.0.0 does not web client

  Is it still possible? I downloaded 6.0.0 earlier today and I can't access the web client at all. I just get 404 errors in all browsers on client machines (Windows 7). A new version was apparently released today (07/07/15) marked 6.0.0b. I tried to download that but keep having refused - I am not allowed. I'll tell you what I like, and it is EXTREMELY frustrated with these ridiculous antics web site. When I register for the new version I am always presented with the download of the former. I don't have the time in my life for this nonsense. Hyper-V can be rosy just now...

• 6 of vSphere Web Client

  I am setting up my first Server 6 vSphere in a laboratory for the study of the certification test.  I have a brand new vSphere 6 Server installed on a Windows 2008 R2 server.  I finally got through some teething problems with IE on my computer so I can connect now, single sign - on without problems.  Now, I can't understand how to create a folder and add a few ESXi servers.  I went through the getting started videos and hosts, and even the documentation online, but couldn't find out how to start.

  Apparently, I need to need to have a folder, data center, or a Cluster before I can add a host.  I can't create a data center until I can create a new folder.  I see no area of the user, and when I click on the roles, it tells me that I don't have permission even if I am logged in under the account administrator created during installation.

  What Miss me?

  Wade

  have you changed vSphere.local field of SSO to vSphereLab.local? If so, please, sign out of your web client and try to connect using the user name "[email protected]" and the password you gave when installing. That will allow you to see the inventory.

• SRM 5.8 does not display an icon in the Web Client

  I have a customer that has improved its server vCenter on the two sites of 5.5U1 to 5.5U2, a condition 5.8 SRM.

  After what seems to be a successful installation of the SRM on both sites, I see NOT the RS icon on each site.

  Tried to restart the VMware vCenter inventory Service

  Services of SRM server and embedded database are running

  I checked below and the ExtensionManager value, com.vmware.vcDr is actually present.

  

  Notes:

  1 SRM is installed on the respective vCenter servers using the embedded DB ProstgresSQL

  2 vcEnter also uses the embedded DB - there are only 3 hosts per site

  3. the total number of protected virtual machines expected to be 12

  Any ideas? I know it's a new product, but we are here.

  OK, this has been resolved. Here's the answer:

  Customer said to have upgraded the server vCenter Server to 5.5U2, which he did. But...

  1. he could not also upgrade the inventory Service

  2. has failed to upgrade the Web Client

  It is interesting that SRM 5.8 installation succeeded only after upgrading vCenter server, but the Installer do NOT also test the compatibility of the inventory also upgraded service.

  Note that there is no current documentation reflecting this anywhere I could find. Refers only to the version of vCenter server.

  Done deal.

• VSphere Web client and client heavy cannot connect to Vcenter server 5.5, web client fails with 2032 error before the connection, then the work after one minutes ferw.

  Hi all

  I really need help here.  I have a new installation of Esxi5.5 and installed the server vcenter build 5.5.0.5201 device 1476389.

  I have host files properly configured for DNS and Server 2008 R2 running that I use to connect with the client or web client heavy.

  Initially, I get an error with the web client to connect, he began to paint Vmware and when it comes to 'r' in the name it fails with #2032, so I can no longer

  access the page at all, he says: connection refused for the page. If I wait a while I can connect again.

  heavy client vSphere fails at this time as well.  However, I cannot communicate directly with Vsphere client to server esxi host and it works all the time.

  There seems to be a problem with the device of vcenter server because the thick client fails, and does not open a backup program using vcenter server

  inventory when this happened.

  Please help, it drives me crazy...

  Dan

  Hello

  Since I found the solution to the problem of connecting to the device of vcenter.  It is a conflict of IP address on the network.  There was a machine with the same IP address virtuall

  as the vcenter server.  This caused intermittent problems etc.. Why web client would still work if I have the vmware client open I do not know

  so thank you for your help.

• Different users see different elements via Web Client

  Hello

  I am new to 5.x (4.1 come) and I; m a bit confused by the web client.

  I logged on as [email protected] and added a host and virtual machine (vCenter itself) under the host.  Then I added a local user to the SSO Administrators group and identified as this user.

  After I logged in, I saw that I could see and do all the things normal admin (to validate that I was an admin), but none of the previously entered was visible.  No greeting, no VM vCenter on the host.  It looked like a brand-new installation vcenter with nothing else than the default values.

  So, what of going on here?  Is there a delay from when you add a new user when the user can see the infrastructure?  Or is it some sort of barrier where I still have to add as many items for each admin user?

  Addition of a user to the OSP is not enough, you must also assign the permissions/roles appropriate to the items in the inventory.

• Cannot save vSphere Web Client after the replacement of the SSL certificate

  Hi all

  I have followed the Articles of Derek Seaman on the replacement of all the certificates in vSphere 5.1 and have since turned to the VMware KB Articles. I replaced the certificates for the SSO, the inventory Service and vCenter Server with no problems (other than having to use OpenSSL-Win64 for vCenter certificate that I could not get the x 86 version certificate of work, makes no sense, but I'll take the small victory).

  If you follow the guide of vmware to replace the web service certificate, http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & externalId = 2035010, I get to step 12, enter the VMware vSphere Client Web back to vCenter Single Sign On and the following error:

  VMware technical support suggested I uninstall all components, delete all databases and try again. I have done this and have exactly the same result.

  Has anyone seen elsewhere or managed to solve?

  So, I managed to solve this problem. Not sure that this applies to everyone, but my problem was caused by registering using among other names of the subject in the SSL certificate for the SSO rather than the common name of the certificate.

  For example, the server name is server1.company.com. It is the common name of the certificate. But one of SAN of the certificate has been "vSphere.company.com".  If I used this other name in one of the component records that they would fail. I found that I have to use the common name. Even if the alternative names of job access to via your browser web, there is no certificate warning, if the registration of components using these names, it would fail.

  It seems crazy that you can use any of the San... then why allow us to make?

  Initially, I tried to replace the authentication certificate ONLY when the town was called vsphere.company.com, rather than the hostname of the server, and which is installed. However, try to install the Web Client would fail. When you come to the step where you have to accept the certificate of SSO, the installation fails because the common name of the certificate does not have the host name of the SSO server. It seems insane to me... why the host name of the server running the SSO should still come in when all calls are over HTTPS is simply absurd!

  I confirmed this with VMware Technical Support and they checked my conclusions.

• I have problems with your e-mail via a web client is sending no text in the body and sending HTML instead of text.

  I have problems with your e-mail via a web client is sending no text in the body and sending HTML instead of text.  I am told that this problem is because of the BING toolbar on my browser - is this correct?

  original title: Messaging with the BING toolbar problem

  I suggest blind carbon copy yourself e-mails coming out in the future to check for other errors and if they happen then find a new Web hosting provider.  They should have been aware of the conflicts, one would presume.
