• Remove ESXi hosts to vCenter Cluster host even

  Hi all. Depending on the subject, I would like to remove the host from an old Cluster vCenter which is no longer accessible because the database is damaged. Unfortunately I can not not to restore it because my predecessor scheduled backups. How can I do? Thank you all in advance for your answer.

  All the information you have provided, I suppose there could be something in the ADAM database, which must be deleted / reset.

  The assignment of license keys is stored in the ADAM database (rather than in the vCenter Server database) and with the new installation of server vCenter on the same host (old) this may not have been reset. Please take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1015268 to see if this KB will help resolve the issue.

• How to remove ESXi host of Distributed Switch

  3 Cluster DRS - 1 x physical, 2 nested nodes in a LAB environment

  I need to downgrade a 6.0 U2 ESXi host and replace it (from ESXi nested in Physics). I am trying to remove the host from a distributed switch, but it seems that I can't do that until I remove it from the Distributed Switch. I can't remove the VMkernel group management ports that prevents me to remove the host from the Distributed Switch. Any suggestions? I guess that I need that migrate to a Standard switch first?

  I am connected to the ESXi host through vSphere Client, migrated the group management to a Standard switch ports, then I was able to clear the host of the distributed switch. I could then remove the host from the Cluster.

• How to remove all hosts made by an administrator of vmware?

  I uninstalled vmware cartridges and it seems that vmware in Data Management data are indeed missing, but what I do on all hosts that he brought in the infrastructure?  I need to remove them and doing by hand of data management would take a very long time.  Is there a better way to clean anything that exerted vmware agent?

  Hello

  There might be another solution, I am interested as well. I probably ran the script of

  https://support.quest.com/SolutionDetail.aspx?ID=SOL62094&PR=Foglight

  get rid of the stale data (these pieces of Infrastructure now not monitored). It really should be part of the toolset of all those who are serious about maintaining data anyway.

  fglcmd. (sh | beats)-usr (user login) - pwd (password) - port (port) - srv (server) - cmd script: run f C:\delete-stale-objects host 5

  (remove all hosts that have not been updated for 5 days)

• How to remove Virus host SVC

  I recently downloaded something that my c:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe file infected. AVG notice, but does nothing. It disables Windows Defender, and I'm unable to turn it back on. Malware Removal Tool MS does not either. During this time I get popups of AVG telling me that it is there and waiting for me to hit a wrong key. Everything I googled is old in the life of the computer, and I was wondering if anyone has recently had similar problems, and what I can do about it. Everyone I ask myself is "in the loop" all have different answers. Thank you.

• How to remove a VM inventory in vcentre when the host is down

  Hi guys,.

  We had a power outage today where one of our physical ESX host is dead (we have 2 VM cluster hosts).  HA/DRS unfortunately does not work as there are insufficient resources to automatically migrate the virtual machines on the host failed through to the host remaining (another separate question that I will not here address)

  when the hsot went down, virtual machines have been left in the market, but were in a disconnected state (see table).  I read that you can reallocate virtual machines to another host by 'navigate to the data store and do a right-click on the vmx file and click Add to inventory and select the host. " (Ref: ) http://communities.VMware.com/thread/173314 )

  However when I browse to the data store, the option 'Add to inventory' has also dimmed.  I suspect (Please confirm) that he wwas because the virtual machine in question was still at the "running" State  problematic, because that disconnected/running state, I could not close it out vcentre gui (or console, as host was dead)

  can someone tell me how - if possible - can I migrate the virtual machine to another host, while in the situation described above?

  If this is not possible for future situations where the host is lost, I would be better together virtual machine to stop? (this would allow me to reassign the vms can?)

  see you soon

  The virtual machine will remain in the host inventory and disappear once you remove the host to vCenter inventory. What you then do - at least that's what I would probably - to be able again to power on virtual machines is to register the virtual machine to other hosts on the server vCenter Server (click right the VM .vmx file and choose 'Add to inventory')-after the correction of the host and before adding it again to vCenter Server - connect directly to this host and then delete the virtual machine already 'moved' from his inventory.

  What you need to do after registration of VM for other hosts is to check the VM based backup applications (if used), because the virtual machine will receive new ID.

• Difficulties to remove ESXi 5.0 cluster hosts

  Dear all,

  Nice day

  We have a cluster with three hosts ESXi 5.0 in production environment. The vCenter Server runs on a physical machine. Now we have some hardware problems with the physical machine running the vCenter server. The average while we have a new installation of vCenter server in a new physical machine. We want to remove these three from the old machine to vCenter Server ESXi hosts and should be added to the newly installed vCenter server machine. Since these three ESXi hosts in a cluster, we put the hosts in maintenance mode to remove the hosts in the cluster, and then remove the hosts to vCenter. But if we put two hosts among three hosts in maintenance mode, the host of the 3rd has more loaded with virtual machines. This is the reason why we are not able to remove the hosts in this cluster. We're in trouble because we do not have the time for VMS.

  Please let me know if anyone has the best solution to remove the old vCenter hosts and add hosts to vCenter new without time for Virtual Machines.

  Thanks in advance

  Suresh

  its not required to put the host in maintenance mode to add in a vCeneter different server. We can achieve in the following steps.

  1. disable HA and DRS in existing cluster.

  2. unplug and remove host to vCenter.

  3. add hosts to the cluster created again vCenter.

  in this way the hosts avoid overloading.

• Remove host to vCenter, but keep the functional VMs on host?

  I managed on the basis of 3 guests by vCenter Essentials over which limit myself to 3 hosts managed by vCenter.  3 all hosts are connected to storage arrays, SAN, through Dell Power Connect switches.

  I want to delete a host to add a beefier host in his place.  If I remove a host, it will break the connections to the San?... because I want to leave the host VMs powerd on & keep functional.  Is this possible?  Would this work?

  Remove a host to vCenter will not affect SAN connections or virtual machines running - depending on whether you have any DRS you might be forced to put the host in maintenance mode and move virtual machines to other nodes or if you have active HA you can find in a State where you receive warnings about insufficient resources for failover.

• Cannot delete host to vCenter

  Hi all

  I have a curious problem here, I am trying to remove a host to vCenter but get the following message: "the object has already been disposed or was not completely created."

  Hi André,.

  Thanks for the answer, it turns out that it was a problem with the obsolete entries in the adam database. 5.5 vCenter, had not consulted the web client in a while & only he saw there.

  Hello

  If vCenter is offline, I'll try to add hosts to the new vCenter. I'm sure it will connect.
