How to install 5.1 VSA with vCenter virtual?

Hi all

The organization I work for is planning to install a cluster VSA 2 server in a remote site (ESXi 5.1, 5.1 VSA). To reduce costs, they want to have a virtual vCenter on the cluster. I guess that the virtual vCenter also runs the VSA cluster service.

How the hell can I install this? So far, I have:

-built 2 5.1 with 1 local datastore ESXi servers each

-built a vCenter 5.1 on the ESXi server and installed the Manager of VSA on it (which includes the cluster service)

-joined the two servers ESXi, vCenter inside a data center

Have a running VM (the vCenter) forced me down the road of installation "Brownfield". Very well... I created 2 vswitches and groups of ports and launched the installation wizard. Everything in the wizard seemed ok and he started to install. He has done many things (clearly, it's a very clever installation program) and after some time he put the host without vCenter in maintenance mode. I watched with my eyebrows getting higher and higher... probably soon he would put the host with vCenter in maintenance mode, what magic he would do to manage loses its vCenter (and the cluster service)? No of course, and it has failed with an error message "cannot create the cluster VSA: Add Cluster HA hosts failed.

There is a lot I don't understand about a virtual vCenter on a VSA cluster out of the way to install it.

The vCenter may be on the VSA data store? The install doc does not, it is said "vCenter Server can run locally on a host in the cluster VSA ESXi." vCenter Server can also run remotely and manage multiple VSA clusters. "

But if it's on a local data store, how to manage servers wearing down for maintenance, updates etc? And that does not turn the host it is running in a single point of failure, if it fails the cluster breaks down? The point of the entire cluster is to avoid this.

Am I missing something? I would be grateful if anyone can clear this up, and if he's not going to be an option, can anyone recommend a small iscsi SAN or NAS? It is perhaps less than a 3rd Server vCenter, the VSA cost plus the cost of the internal hard drives in 2 guests. In the remote site, currently, there are only a few physical servers, I don't really have the possibility of the vCenter relying on another host and then moving to the VSA cluster that was an option I read on a forum. Don't really want than wan connects either.

Thank you

Matt

The VCS must be outside the cluster.  It does not need to be on a server, it can run on windows or Linux systems class office.  Small footprint PCs are available for ~ $ 200.  It has to be in the same subnet as the cluster nodes.  If the VCS was done in a cluster node, you actually lose the tiebreaker vote and if the node hosting the VCS were to fail, you would lose the quorum of the cluster.

VC running within the cluster will work, but it is complicated on a cluster 2 knots because you may lose the ability to manage the cluster if the node hosting the Victoria Cross were to fail.  You want to have the DB Backup VC and a strategy to recover.

  • How to customize a VM-W2K3 with vCenter Server 4.0.0 running in a VM W2K8

    Hello

    I am trying to clone and customize a VM-W2K3 with vCenter Server 4.0.0 running in a VM W2K8.

    This fails because of "Windows customization resources are found on the server" in my VM W2K8.

    Okay, but where exactly do I have to copy the sysprep files, as there is no such directory

    C:\ & lt; ALLUSERSPROFILE & gt; \Application Data\Vmware\VMware VirtualCenter\sysprep

    as described in the ESX and vCenter Server Installation Guide.

    Customization of a VM W2K8 is ok, files sysprep (or equivalent) seems to be part of a W2K8 facility.

    Thank you

    Bruno C.

    For Server 2008 is the path

    "C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\sysprep".

  • How the physical machine can communicate with the virtual machines as well as the internet should work on a virtual machine

    Hi team,

    I ask that you forgive for asking a silly question without doing a free search.

    I'm using VMware workstation 6.5. I am able to communicate with both machines by selecting 'only option of home. "

    Is there a way by which the physical machine can communicate with the virtual machines.

    At the same time through the VMS, is it possible to access the Internet from the physical amchine.

    Help, please.

    Concerning

    Sriapti

    When you use a bridged vNIC the customer acts as any other host, so that you can access is by his IP (or name if a DNS configuration exists as you acceding to any other host.) What tools you can use depends on the guest operating system and the software available.

    I assume you mean access deskopt. Then you can use RDP (Windows Terminal services) or VNC (tight/tiny).

    For Linux, you can use this last or all the flavors of SSH. In the case of Linux, I use VNC through SSH tunnel. You can also tunnel X through SSH, so if you have an X server on another host (such as the Hummingbird for Windows), you can open your own office remotely there.

    But even once when I try to install OBIA on windows then it ask OBIEE software places (like field House, etc. for instance)

    Is it interesting by Oracle? How to solve it?

    Yes, Naeem, you need to make a simple OBIEE 11 g on windows installation and then install OBIA and then move the files (.rep, .rpd, export, webcat etc.) to the locations required under LINUX...

I just wanted to know how we can separate vShield Manager with vCenter or simply if I delete device it will be deleted?

    No,

    VShield manager is a device managed by plug-in.

    If you previously uninstall component vshield vshield link manager, you can remove the device and then remove the plug in. (like other component like Vmware Data recovery,...)

  • Install the second instance with tns own

    Hello world

    I depending on the situation: we have Windows 2008 Server, I installed oracle 11g Standard Edition database. I want to install a second instance on this server.

    I try to use oracle database configuration manager and the installation was successful. But I can't connect to my trial because I got the error 'No TNS Listner'.

    So I create a second with the oracle network utilities. But I can not connect to the server, so I take a look at the service, there where two headphones started my new and TNSListener so I looked in the listener.ora there where only my new listener.

    After that, I restart the database but I sill got the error message and I could not service my trial dbconsole.

    So I remove the second instance.

    I want to ask if anyone has a tip for me or a best practice how to install a second instance with an own listener.

    Greetings

    How to install a second instance with an own listener.

    You need a listener of the second. Simply create the new database and your real listener is more than enough.
