  I tried all the work arrounds:

  Stop the web client, clear the cache of serenity, start the web client and nothing.

  I disabled the Update Manager and web client and Site Recovery Manager plugins works very well. Then I reload Update Manager and Site Recovery Manager and fails again.

  Update Manager to update to the latest version and fails again.

  Any tips? Help? Wishes?

• How to change the config of vCenter Server Appliance (5.5) ESXi host vm? [Solved]

  I want to enable (set to true) memoryHotAddEnabled and cpuHotAddEnabled on the vCenter Server Appliance.

  I can't the powerCLI user because he needs a vCenter Server Appliance to connect to (right?) and to allow HotAdd of the virtual machine must be turned off.

• VCenter Server Appliance 5.5 update w/o VUM

  I'm Manager my first vmware environment. We are a small company and using the Essentials package. I have two hosts upward with a vCenter Server Appliance 5.5 Build 2063318. I'm looking for a way to update the device for security patches. I have not been able to find how to do that when we don't have a Manager Update server configuration. I downloaded the .iso file but have not been able to find all the commands that will allow me to manually install the package. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  To configure DNS on the vCSA change the Type of address to SLAAC-IPv6 first and you can add DNS server address and the host name.

• Activate the VCA Mode of VMware vCenter Server Appliance

  Hello

  I'm pretty new on vSphere.  I have two hosts running esxi 5.1 what one of these hosts running the "VMware vCenter Server Appliance' with vSphere version 5.5.  I currently have a single cluster containing all the VMS as well hosts and the SAN.

  I try to activate the EVC mode, but when I try it tells me that the host is not allowed because there are powered on virtual machines.  I can turn off all the virtual machines except the vCenter device and I still get the problem on the host that has the device on it.  If I turn off the unit, I can't use vSphere to activate CVS.

  How can I activate CVS when vSphere does not work?

  Thank you

  Jeff

  Hi Welcome to the communities,

  This one is a bit complicated

  You have:

  1. turn off all VMs on Host1 (while vCenter device is on Host2)

  2 bring Host1 on Cluster, select CVS clustered.

  3. put all the virtual machines on Host2 (also vCenter device)

  4. connect on Host2 directly to vSphere Client Windows

  5. remove the vCenter inventory unit

  6. connect on Host1 directly to vSphere Client Windows

  7. the data store when the appliance and add it to the inventory of research. Power on

  8. connect the device with Web client or vSphere vCenter

  9. move the second host in the cluster

  And you're done

• VMWare vCenter Server Appliance / 2012R2 Windows domain

  Hi all
  I've recently updated my domaincontrollers to R2 2012 WIndows, and I installed vCenter on a vm through the ovf appliance. After you have configured the vCenter in the web gui, I can join the domain successfully and the virtual center appears in the field. After a restart of the virtualcenter, I'm not able to find the field in the client to vcenter under permissions. (version vCenter: VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-5.5.0.5101-1398493)

  Someone at - it a tip on how to fix this?

  You must login to webclient using [email protected] and navigate to the SSO configuration. Select your ad that you added and make this default domain. This makes the announcement should appear in the menu drop-down.

• How does VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat communicate?

  How does VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat communicate?

  VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat supports configurations of single NIC or multi.

  Public IP address: this IP address is used by a client to connect to an Active Server, and move between the secondary and primary servers in the case of a failover or a passage.

  IP address of the channel: this is for communication between active and passive servers. This is used for the transfer of control and an asset to the passive server data and monitoring the State of an Active Server.

  In a LARGE network, static routes are used on switches to maintain ongoing communication.

  Management IP address: this address is used to access servers in a passive role. In a multi NETWORK card configuration, a NIC will have IP addresses public and management, and an another aura NIC IP address of channel. In a single NETWORK adapter configuration, all IP addresses are on the same network adapter.

  Hello

  I found the solution.

  I disabled the JOB BE general relativity.

  and the host where the virtual machine belong was not the right time. No Ntp server has been configured.

  I did and now there works.

  I think that the problem can come from this.

• Location of the vCenter vCEnter Server Appliance 6.0.0 vs Linux plugin file

  We have a plugin where we were using vCenter 6.0 hosted on a Linux server.  I could get my plugin files in /var/lib/vmware/vsphere-client/vc-packages/vsphere-client-serenity and /import/storage.

  We then deployed a vCenter Server Appliance 6.0.0 our plugin and it has a different directory structure.  The structure of directory changes to /var/lib/vmware.

  Where can I find the folder of vsphere-client-serenity or its equivalent.

  Or plugins to treat device unlike a vCenter 6.0 linux host?

  
  

  Thank you.
  

  I found it in/etc/vmware/vsphere-client/vc-packages/vsphere-client-serenity

• Setting up Certification Authority (CA) signed certificates for vCenter Server Appliance 6

  Hi all

  Recently, I managed to migrate to vCenter Server Appliance 6. 5.5, there was a large KB (2057223) on Configuring Certificate Authority (CA) signed certificates for vCenter Server Appliance. I tried to do as it says configure the certificate for v6.

  Unfortunately, I understand that some services such as lighttpd are changed in version.

  Can anyone provide a new instruction for the v6?

  Thank you

  Thank you. That helped me to see the idea. However, the explanation in the pages that was not complete. I had to search for more.

  This blog helped me solve my problem with the generated certificate:

• VMware vCenter Server Appliance 5.1 is not Autostart cluster

  Problem:

  After a VMware vCenter Server Appliance failure does not start automatecly.

  I have configured to start automatecly to each host, but it does not start automatecly.

  My configuration:

  Shared infrastructure-plate-forme PowerEdge VRTX with 3 servers running

  -3 x VMware ESXi 5.1.0 (799733)

  -1 x VMware vCenter Server Appliance 5.1

  -Servers run as a cluster with HA.

  Unfortunately Autostart VM is not supported in a Cluster, and so the settings are ignored. VM in clusters must be turned on manually (or using a script,...).

• Open connections of hosts and vCenter Server Appliance

  We have number of ESXi hosts configured in our environment with vCenter 5.1, far ssh is open to all in order to access all hosts via SSH. Although authenticating the users available but, even then, the issue raises so bound / restrict administrators IPs or subnet of the network for security reasons. Will be the same for vCenter Server Appliance.

  Also can we restriction of IP level for the Vmware Client users, good that now everyone can make the connection between vSphere and vCenter cleint. Please advice

  Hi friend

  Please see below the resources needed to achieve the same on ESXi
