• Advantages/disadvantages of moving data to a virtual server Vcenter

  What are the advantages/disadvantages of the passage of our database of Vcenter 2.5 on the physical server to our virtual server to SQL 2005?

  Thank you

  the only con I can think of is that your VCDB breaks down, the fact vCenter.  However, as a virtual machine running your VCDB isn't a bad thing.  After all, you can take advantage of the DRS/HA.  One thing I would do is create a rule of DRS, if you run vCenter as a virtual machine, to keep the VCDB and vCenter VM together but also to set a priority of restarting at the top for two virtual machines.

  .. .and of course make sure that you back up your VCDB and perform adequate maintenance

• Update of the hardware virtual server vCenter

  How can upgrade you to version 7 on vcenter material when it is a virtual machine. I'm trying to create a baseline and sanitize the it, but it does not work immediately and tells me that I can't because it runs vcenter.

  Thank you

  you will need to connect to the ESX host in which your vCenter VM runs on, off, then make a right click on it to upgrade virtual hardware.

  Be sure to upgrade the tools of comments first however.

• vCenter is virtual server - how to upgrade ESX host?

  Our vCenter server is a virtual server.  I've been thinking how to run update manager on the host ESX, vCenter is sitting on.   The only thing I can think of is to use the VMware Converter stand alone app and move the vCenter server to another ESX host and then start vCenter / Manager Update on the new ESX host to update the original ESX host.

  Is there an easier way?

  you have a shared storage?  If so, go to the host computer running the vCenter VM on, turned off, make a note of the data store that it is, remove the inventory, go to another host, browse the data store, find the vmx file, right-click "add to the inventory.

  .. .or you can use VMware Converter to move the VM vCenter.  Another way would be to turn off the VM vCenter and do the upgrade using the CLI interface.

• How to upgrade the hardware on a VCenter Server

  In lab environment, two hosts, VCenter server, don't HA, storage etc. running share. I managed to upgrade hosts, using Crossover, but his declaration of errors when attempting to upgrade the hardware of server VCenter comments... I can see that it would be a problem, using VCenter to upgrade equipment on himself, when he needs to reboot the server to install. The question is, how to get around that? I tried to look for solutions, not found anything yet. Hope that makes sense.

  Latest versions of everything, as it is a laboratory under eval licenses. Thank you

  You must turn off the VM, connection to the ESXi host through vSphere client vCenter and right-click on the VM vCenter > virtual hardware upgrade.

  Make sure that you run VMware tools before do you.

• How to clean an installation Vcenter 5.5 missed a second server vCenter linked mode

  Hello

  First of all, my situation:

  I managed to install the following services on a single box:

  vCenter Single Sign-On (Vcenter Single Sign-on to your first server vCenter Server)

  vSphere Web Client

  vCenter Inventory Service

  vCenter Server

  The first properly installed vCenter (SRMVC.test.local).

  I then ran the installation on the second vCenter server (SRMVCDR.test.local)

  vCenter Single Sign-On (vCenter Single Sign-on for an additional vCenter server with a new site)

  vSphere Web Client

  vCenter Inventory Service

  vCenter Server (linked modes) * impossible *.

  I came across a mistake by joining the vCenter linked mode.  I then tried to force who do not have, and installation cancelled.   I think I am facing this problem described in this KB:

  Connecting two servers vCenter fails with the error: error 28039.Setup cannot join vCenter Server group related modes (1026087)

  http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2006850

  Now, I see a series of problems with the virtual machine that may be the root cause.  When I open the Server Manager there is an error when I try to view the roles or features.   The error I see is:

  Unexpected error refreshing Server Manager: element not found (except for HRESULT:0 x 80070490)

  To make a long story short:

  I don't really want to solve the problem on the virtual machine.  I think there could be a problem with the template I've deployed this virtual machine from and I would just blow it way and the redeployment of a new model. The problem is that, in the previous installs, I had trouble to reinstall a second vCenter after a failure to install because different services have already been registered with the first SSO server.

  My question:

  How to completely clean all the necessary components on the first server vCenter after a failed install a second server vCenter mode related?  I think that the second server is not only with its own UNIQUE authentication server, but also with the first server in the SSO site located on SRMVC.test.local.  I want to blow any trace of it so that the environment is pristine and so that I can use the same name of the second vcenter (VCSRMDR.test.local) when I reinstall.

  If the second vcenter also has its own SSO installed on the same machine and the second SSO has been installed in multisite mode (should be Yes, because the main goal is to related modes), you need a clean to the top of the first SSO vmdrd.

  VMware support specific utility to get this done, please file a case for support.

  Installing vCenter isn't going to be a problem, each installation has a user ID application created with the date of installation, this ID and certificate (which should be unique for a new installation, disable ssl programdata folders if re - install) are used to record vcenter to OSP.

  So the old entries will not be a problem for the other components.

  ever since the webclient service, you can remove users from the application:

  Log webclient with [email protected] the first web client.

  Under setting up users and groups, under the users Application tab, you can see all the application registered users.

  To identify that one to remove

  for vcenter, check the file C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VirtualCenter Server\ssoregtool\vssso.properties.

  Once you know the job vcenter ID, you can delete the ID of the other.

  Ditto for the inventory service, the inventory service ID can be found in C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Inventory Service\conf\sso.ini

  For webclient files is C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphereWebClient\SsoRegTool\sso_conf\solution.ini

  vCenter and webclient has a user record solution with sso, which must be removed from the command line. This is the KB for this: 2033238

  again, you can use the above mentioned files to identify the one to delete.

• 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.

• VCenter 4.1 und Acronis Backup Virtual Server 10

• 4 virtual servers in a single physical Machine with a physical LAN card, how possible to assign 4 different unique to each virtual server IP address?

  Can someone tell me please, that each server Machine should have an IP address of seprtae to connect the client computers. If we have 4 Server virtual machines in VMware in a physical server with a LAN card with only a MAC address. How can assign us the same IP address to all computers in Virtual Server 4? While we need four IP addresses of different/seprate for each server computer to connect to client computers. can someone explain to me please. (will be greate if you can give me a few examples). Thanks in advance.

  You will need four different IP for each virtual machine, and each VM will have a different MAC address generated automatically by vSphere.

  Assuming you are using vSphere, I highly recommend you take a look at this document: http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/virtual_networking_concepts.pdf

• How to develop a player for the virtual server when no more space is available on the data store?

  Hello

  I have a 'vSphere4.1 - Intel"cluster with lots of available data stores.

  In this group, I have a virtual server "Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2" with 7 discs, all with the ' base' type in the server disk management. ""

  One of the drives needs to be expanded, but in my VMware environment, I noticed that the data with the reader store, cannot be stretched beyond, so I need to take the free space of hard drive to another store of data with free space desired.

  Now to my question:

  Can I make a new record in my VMware environment on another data store and fix it on my Windows 2003 Server? - And if so, how do I add the new free space on the server specific hard drive?

  Kind regards

  Carl-Marius

  1. close the virtual machine in question

  2 remove the HARD disk that you want to extend

  3. in another data store make folder and move the VM HDD (vmdk) in this folder

  4. now change the settings on the virtual machine, add need HDD now this time, select "use the hard disk" option and point to the VMDK file in the other data store

  5 - turn on the virtual machine, check that every thing is okm if ok you can do the HARD disk as dynamic disk is easy to expand

  6. now incerase the VMDK from vsphere client,.

  7 now, with the help of utilities such as partition magic or acronis or utility, you can extend the player

• How to see the models VI3 on Virtual Server 4.1

  Hi all

  I'm migrating my old infrastructure VI3 (ESX3.5U5) to a new vSphere 4.1 a.

  That I create a new database on V4.1 I have to disconnect all virtual Center2.5 ESX3.5 to connect tp Virtual Server 4.1.

  I have a lot of templates on each ESX3.5 but when I reconnect the ESX3.5 to the Virtual Server 4.1 I don't see all of my models.

  Any idea?

  TKS for your help.

  If you browse data warehouses using the browser to store data, you should find all your models here.  Once locate you them, right click on the .vmtx file and "add to the inventory.

  For an overview of all models 'zombie', you can use RVTools (tab Vsante)
