• How many editions for vCenter Server?

  We use ESX for many years.  When we upgrade the server VC, we find that the license is "vCenter Server 4 Stanadard".

  We wonder if there is any other editions of vCenter Server 4?  I searched the web but can't find any other edition.

  Your opinion is requested.

  There is also a vCenter Foundation, that allows to manage up to 3 guests.

• ESXi installation before vCenter Server?  How can I get vCenter Server on a virtual machine on ESXi servers?

  My plan for a new vSphere Essentials Plus 5.5 U2a installation is to have the vCenter Server on a virtual machine on the servers of the host on which is installed ESXi.  However, all the installation instructions I found indicate the user to first install the vCenter Server.  How can I get vCenter Server on a virtual machine on ESXi servers?

  Thank you for your help.

  Hi munkyman welcome to communities.

  After you have installed your first ESXi host, open a browser and go to https://your-ESXi-ip-or-FQDN

  You can download the vSphere Client here. It is a windows application that you can install on your desktop. It is often referred to as the "c# Client vSphere" in communities and blog posts, because it is a new implemented in the vCenter Server Web client.

  But for the beginning, install the vSphere Windows Client. You can then launch it and connect directly to your ESXi host. Here you can create your first virtual machine, which can be the VM vCenter (installation of Windows or device, that is you).

  You can use the web client or connect to the Server with the client c# vSphere vCenter VCenter runs.

• Script to identify struggling how many lie in vCenter?

  We are reviewing our licenses and I was wondering is it possible to write a script that will show the number of processors are present in all hosts in vCenter and also output the results to a CSV file?

  Hello, @peter79-

  Thanks to the property Hardware.CpuInfo.NumCpuPackages of the view .net HostSystem object (where NumCpuPackages is the number of physical processors in the host), it's pretty simple:

  Get-View -ViewType HostSystem -Property Name,Hardware.CpuInfo.NumCpuPackages | Select-Object Name,@{n="NumCpuPkgs"; e={$_.Hardware.CpuInfo.NumCpuPackages}} | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation C:\temp\VMHostCPUCounts.csv
  

  And, since this good word use the cmdlet Get-View and specifies to return only the 2 two properties, it should be pretty fast (took less than a second to get this info from County of CPU socket for about 175 guests for me).

  Enjoy

• If the patch management can be done by VMware Update Manager in vCenter Server Appliance as similar vCenter Server

  Hi friends,

  If patches of the host management can be done through Vmware Update manager vCenter Server Appliance as in vCenter Server.

  Tell me other differences between them...

  Kind regards

  Sirot Vijay

  1. Yes we can connect to the device using the vSphere client.

  2. in the installation of the update manager VCenter information will ask and he will automatically fit no special measures required.

  3. no conflict. Its just like you have two vCenter servers, but you can not have two server vCenter managing the same hosts.

• How start/use vCenter Server?

  Hi guys, first I want to apologize to post an easy question to most of you, but it seems that could not answer this question with most of our staff here. For starters, I installed a vCenter Server 4.0 on a Windows XP Pro 32 Bit. The installation goes smoothly using the default SQL database that provides VMware. However after you have installed the server vCenter, we could not find anywhere! We tried to find it in all programs & gt; & gt; VMware & gt; & gt; & lt; And nothing! & gt;! If I'm not mistaken there must be an executable file as the vSphere Client shortcut located in the same directory?

  So far, we have concluded that the vCenter Server is installed in the computer as we gazed at the Add/Remove program list and found the vCenter Server installed! We also enabled vCenter Server Services but still nothing. We find the vCenter Server in the wrong direction or we should access the vCenter Server via a web browser? Any solutions would be appreciated.

  UH thanks for your reply but I'm abit still confuse as I just want to know how to start the vCenter Server?

  The method is similar to the start of the vSphere client whereby you just double click the shortcut icon?

  vCenter runs like a bouquet of services. The installation created these services, to 'autostart' and began to their. Because they are defined in the autostart, they become active whenever the system is booted.

  I have already installed the server vCenter Server if the host of the vCenter server would be the same IP as the server ESXi?

  No, of course not. vCenter runs on a separate host Windows. The vCenter server IP address must be unique within the subnet IP used as each host must have a unique IP address.

  Even once, the vClient dowhnload, beginning as you start Word (or Openoffice), enter hostr of the vCenter server's NetBIOS name or its IP address as the destination to connect to and a combination of DOMAIN\username of a user who belongs to the vCenter server's local administrator group.

• Process of upgrading 3.5 host with vCenter server Virtual

  Hi I have recently updated my old server from client to vCenter 4.1 virtualized VI, sitting on my 3.5 cluster.  I intend to use the Update Manager to upgrade my guests, but I don't know how the virtual vCenter server is going to face?  The plan was: 1. move all the virtual machines off-host 1.  2 put the host in maintenance mode 1. 3. on the vCenter server, create a base, then line at host level 1 to 4.1. 4. now - at this point add this host in the cluster? And migrate the server vCenter top, so I can upgrade the other two hosts?  If the works above, then it should be quite a nice update, if you cannot add the new version of the host of back in, how you vMotion the vCenter server off so you can keep control of the cluster.

  IMO, it should work. To upgrade from 3.5 to 4.1, your ESX host must be in 5 update (see http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_upgrade_guide.pdf) already.

  If VMotion or migrate the server vCenter Server - for some reason-does not work, you can delete vCenter Server of the inventory of the old host and add to the inventory of the new host.

• VCenter Server to a new server transfer

  Hello
  I'm doing an update from the 2008 to the 2012r2 server.  I was wondering how to spend my vCenter server.

  We are running the essentials package.

  I thought just build a new server, the connection my hosts in vCenter and then close and delete the old server?
  My thought process is correct, or is there something else I need to do along the way?

  Hello

  The important thing to know with vCenter is the majority of your important information in the SQL database. You're right, install a new instance of vCenter on your new Server R2 of 2012 is the best way to go and make sure that you connect to your existing SQL DB.

  What version of vCenter/ESXi are you running? 5.5? There are a few other things to consider before proceeding, as the backup of your configuration of SSO and service inventory? Do you use things such as tags in the web client? Is your particularly complicated configuration of SSO? If this isn't the case, then you can probably not bother with their backup and restoration.

  If it were me, I'd do the following as a rough plan:

  (1) save the SQL DB to be 100% sure.

  (2) off your old server.

  (3) configure the new server with the old server's IP address. Make the necessary DNS changes.

  (4) 2012 R2 server Setup again.

  (5) for mounting and you are prompted, use an ODBC connection created in your existing SQL DB.

  (6) all the components and installation vCenter.

  (7) test of

  There would be other options to restore SSO / inventory if you want too.

  The plan to uninstall or disable the new server, restore your DB back backup and power on your old server.

  Happy to help you further if necessary!

• vCenter Server update through VUM possible?

  Hello

  the topic is wacky? I can't find anything on how to update the vcenter server from time to time. EU update 4.0 to 4.0u1 with complete removal and manually and reinstall... There was a patch 4.0 that I had to apply manually, too.

  So I was wondering

  Greetings

  You do not find something because it is not possible. VUM is only available via vCenter and if you are... this system patch and you get the point. To upgrade your hosts, you can use Crossover or a guest VM, but your upgrade vCenter, you will need to take the service offline and then perform an upgrade. Don't forget to have your dba the prior VCDB backup upgrade

  How I created a Data Source Name (DSN)

  1. Has launched the 32-bit version of Data Source ODBC Administrator located in the: C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\odbcad32 (someone recommended ODBC running this way to fix 25003).

  2. SQL Server DSN must connect is a W2K 64 bit running SQL 2005.

  3. The default use "verify the authenticity of the ID connection via integrated Windows authentication.

• How do I know if a host server is managed by a vcenter Server?

  I found an ESXi server in my server room, and I can connect with the root username. How will I know if this server is managed by a Vcenter server somewhere when you are connected to the host with vmware customer?

  When you connect with the VMware client, there will be a popup message in the sense of "this host is managed by vCenter, etc etc. I remember not exactly beyond saying that it is hard to miss.

• with the help of a vcenter server to manage different clusters.

  Hi all... I have a question about our current configuration.

  I have an Enterprise acceleration kit (6CPU), which is controlled by a vcenter server.

  I recently bought a vsphere essentials kit to host our "replica/backup server.

  I installed a secondary appliance of vsphere server on this kit essentials to host these servers.

  My question is can I use the server a vsphere, add these two licenses and all manage from the single interface?

  I guess adding a new cluster or datacenter would be the way to go, but not too sure if this is the best way to approach it.

  Thank you

  Nathan

  Of http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere_pricing.pdf

  "vSphere Essentials and Essentials Plus Kits are stand-alone solutions and cannot be decoupled or combined with other editions of vSphere."

  Unless I am mistaken, it is even technically applied, i.e. you cannot add "Essentials" authorized hosts (with the exception of the retail and executive offices Kits) of a vCenter Server Standard edition.

  I can't find this specific answer just how many LUNS.
