• Want to take the certification VCP6-VTC, but I finished the 5.5 ESXi and vCenter Server 5.5

  Hello

  2 years ago I had the training for 5.5 ESXi and vCenter Server 5.5 - I wonder if that would satisfy the requirement and allows me to pass the exam VCP6-VTC?  Or should I stick with the VTC VCDP5 only?

  Have you taken after school.

  5.5 vSphere install, configure and manage.

  If so, please attend vSphere: what's new [5.5 to 6.0]

  It is a 2 day course that will allow you to take the exam VCP6-VTC.

  Otherwise, take VCP550 review and upgrade to VCP6-VTC in taking 2V0 - 621D.

• 'Disconnect' a managed host to vCenter Server: practical application?

  The vSphere client offers the possibility to "unplug" a managed host to vCenter Server (right-click > disconnect).

  I was wondering in what situations it would be used/useful? He influence the virtual machines running on the host? Is "reconnect" everything just like linking to the departure to a new host?

  mudage

  Here is what I use the button disconnect to:

  I have an old vCenter 4 install with 10 ESXi 4.0 hosts, I now build a vCenter 5.5 system and need to migrate to this vCenter but I can't have all the time.

  So, I hit the button disconnect and then add the ESXi 4.0 host in my new vCenter, then at my convenience I then host 4.0 on a host 5.5 vmotion.

  I hope this makes sense to you.

• 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.

• client vSphere and vCenter server

  The vsphere compatibility page 14 OS compatibility tables.  I see that Windows 2000 server sp4 has no compatibility with client vSphere and vCenter server.  This means that if you have 2000 servers in your current VMware environment you must upgrade the operating system or?

  Hello and welcome to the forums.

  Information on p.14 means that Windows 2000 SP4 is not compatible with (in other words, you can not install) the Client vSphere, vCenter Server and VMware vCenter Update Manager.

  Specific versions of Windows 2000 Server can be verified to support in the Compatibility Guides.  As long as you plan to run the Client vSphere, vCenter Server or VMware vCenter Update Manager on Windows 2000 virtual machines, you'll probably be fine.  It depends on which version of Windows 2000, you have, but just check the compatibility guide to be sure.

  Good luck!

• The traffic between a host ESXi and vCenter Server is secure?

  Dear team,

  You pray let me know is traffic between a host ESXi and vCenter server (vice versa) is secure?

  The VC and ESXi version is 5.1U1a

  Mr. VMware

  Default SSL certificates are installed automatically. However, you can configure the third-party SSL certificates to make the environment more secure.

  I7 2600 k P8H67-i Deluxe MB and vCenter Server, 16 GB, and ESXi 5 device

  One has been able to run vCenter Server Appliance on this material?

  vCenter Server Appliance does not start

  I run ESXi 4.1 on a server and more office built a user-friendly machine for ESXi 5

  ESXi 5 start ok, installs and runs a test VM ok.

  But after downloading appliance vCenter server and deployed the ovf, the virtual machine will not start.

  I'm reasonably confident that the deployment was OK, as I've done it before on ESXi 4.1 (but on a server with Xeon processor).

  The message of the console is

  NO.

  If I select 'No', I get 'not enough video RAM.

  If I check the box 'Yes' I get

  Could not start - please use a kernel suitable for your CPU.

  I've been through settings and advice re longmode, but just can't get the right settings.

  Thanks in advance for any response

  In order to run the 64-bit clients, you need to enable 'VT - x' in the system BIOS. In addition to this I also recommend you activate "Execute Disable Bit" and - if necessary - disable "VT - d" as well as "Trusted Execution". Once done, save the BIOS settings and the power of the system (power power off) cycle. If this does not resolve the problem, thanks for posting the latest vmware.log of the virtual machine.

• displacement of the configurations of lab manager between the ESX server host computers / data warehouses

  Hello

  Is it possible to move configurations of lab manager between the ESX server host computers / data warehouses? I don't see an option in the library & gt; Clone library. Thank you!

  Recently, I used SSMove to migrate our datastore LM set a new LUN.  It's really simple to use.  This KB gives complete instructions on SSMove http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1006694&sliceId=1&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&dialogID=8456583&stateId=0%200%209407965

• Known issues with running ESX, vSphere and vCenter Lab Manager on a Windows Server?

  I'm on a project that is currently planned to install ESX, vSphere and vCenter Lab Manager on a Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise x 64.  Anyone know if there are known problems with their performance on a beefy Server?

  http://communities.VMware.com/community/VMTN/vSphere?view=overview and take a look at podcasting.

• Lab Manager dependencies on vCenter and terminology

  I just Lab Manager, of course with ESX and vCenter.  I know very little about Virtualization, as this issue will prove.  What are the activities of configuration required on vCenter for Lab Manager able to build models, installation configurations and share library configurations?

  Also, I'm trying to get my head around the difference between the data store, data center and media store.  My current knowledge are:

  A data store has a one-way relationship to one or more hosts.  If storage is on a specific host (physical hard disk for example) then the data store has a relationship one of exlclusively with a single host.  Any file a host or a virtual machine can read/write can be read/written on this data store.

  A data center is a logical collection (non-brique and mortar) hosts, data warehouses and virtual machines.  A data center can aggregate various data stores in a single logical storage available to all virtual machines area?  Or another flavor of physical storage can same issue on a Server Windows 2008 physical logically be conifgured such as NFS, and can share NFS join a data center?

  A media store is a special part of a data store managed by the Manager of laboratory exclusively for the storage of files ISO for the construction of models in the laboratory Manager.  Is a media store part of a data store or part of a data center?

  Is a model of vCenter the same model Lab Manager?

  Any clarification on these questions would be more useful.

  Kind regards

  Rick

  Good questions! Welcome to the Forums as well!

  Your description data store is pretty right on. With the exception of the now for the storage of the local host, new technologies progressed to virtualize in the shared storage by the use of devices to Vritual Server.  Companies like HP lefthand and Openfiler to name a few.

  With regard to the issues of data center

  > A datacenter can aggregate various data warehouses into a single logical storage available to all virtual machines area?

  No, he learn better to keep data warehouses between HA/DRS separate clusters.  Now between the host in a cluster you "will share stroage" for the use of the DRS, HA or Storage vMotion.

  > can physical storage on a Server Windows 2008 physical logically be conifgured such as NFS, and can share NFS join a data center?

  Yes you can - use Openfiler VSA to connect the two iSCSI LUNS and NFS for ESX. As long as the ESX host can access the virtual machine through the network.

  For your other questions have a good read on a couple of things well:

• HP ML115G1 and vCenter Server installation

  Hi all

  Please go easy on me because it's my first time with VMware

  I have a ML115G1 with 5 GB RAM and 120GB HD, installed ESXi 4.1 and have a VM of Windows 2008 Server SP2 running no problem, I want to learn vCenter Server among others and tried to install it in this virtual machine, as I quickly discoveredvCentre requires 2CPUs which are at least 2 GHz, assuming that I understand it so far and I am not , what is the best way forward for me so that I can learn Vcenter in the following environment:

  1 x Windows Server 2008R2 Virtual machine with vCenter, domain AD etc.

  2 x Windows Server 2008 R2 running SQL2008 and center of System Configuration Manager

  2 x windows xp or win 7 clients

  assuming that I have very little $ to purchase a new high spec server to deal with all this and its only in a lab environment. What is the best way to go to implement, it will be used for myself training on products above, trials of software distribution, patch deployment, management of client of windows etc.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated as Im in its early days and theres a heck of a lot to!

  Thank you very much

  No, it should still install - it's just the 2 GHz is recommended and if I remember anything in the Setup goes and checks the closk speed -.

• iSCSI storage presented to the hosts managed by different vCenter Server - questions?

  I currently have three hosts (esxi 5.0) that are managed by vcenter server 5.5 U2. The hosts are attached to iSCSI LUNS (data warehouses) 10.

  I'm migrating to esxi 6.0 U2. For this, there are three new hosts have esxi 6.0 installed and managed by vcenter server 6.0 U2 U2.

  The plan is to detach/remove 5.0 5.5 U2 vcenter esxi hosts. Then import it into vcenter 6.0 U2 (a new cluster will be created). Once imported, uninstall the 5.5 vcenter u2. Then turn off the resident VMs imported esxi 5 hosts and move them to 6.0 esxi hosts.

  My query is regarding regarding storage.

  At present, three new guests see all storage the old 5.0 esxi hosts to see (guests are not in the cluster. "I'm still trying to put things up). That's because the new hosts were deposited to the same group on the side iSCSI initiator storage. Now things, data warehouses are visible by the hosts with esxi 5.0 (managed by vcenter 5.5 u2) and also the esxi hosts 6.0 (managed by vcenter 6.0 u2). The only VMs residing in esxi environment 6 is vcenter 6.0 u2 and update manager 6.0 u2. These are in a data store that is not any other virtual machines.

  That's no problem during the migration? I have not created a cluster for the esxi 6.0 hosts yet and plan to do after obtaining your entries.

  Thank you!

  No problem whatsoever, regardless whether if you do or that you add no vSphere 6 hosts in a HA cluster.

  If you temporarily enable EVC on the vSphere hosts 6, once all hosts are connected to the same vCenter you can VMotion all VMs to new hosts even without any stop. Clear CVS once the migration is complete.

• The upgrade to vCenter Server to vCenter Server 5.1 5.1 update 1 when the SQL database is remote and vCenter Server Heartbeat is installed

  Hi guys,.

  I'm in the middle of an upgrade to vSphere 5.1 5.1 vSphere update 1. I have vCenter protected by HB and SQL on a separate computer (also protected by HB) I also run Syslog, Update Manager and Proxy authentication on vCenter.

  I've successfully upgraded HB on all 4 nodes (2 x vCenter & 2 x SQL) and started the upgrade components on the secondary according to the •vCenter Server Heartbeat 6.5 server and vCenter Update 1 Installation on Windows Server 2008 when the secondary server is virtual (PDF) http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vcenter-server-heartbeat-65-u1-installation-windows-2008-virtual-guide.pdf

  I got to step 3.c

  3. change the primary/active server role:

  a launch of the vCenter Server Heartbeat wizard configure server and click the tab of the Machine to change the server role for the current server (primary) to the active State and click Finish.

  b using the Service Control Manager, start the Server Heartbeat of VMware vCenter service.

  c using the vCenter Server Heartbeat Console, check that all the status icons on the server: summary page are green indicating that the boot process is completed and protected from all the services are started.

  d using the Service Control Manager, stop the service Server Heartbeat of VMware vCenter.

  As the vCenter service does not start, I'm stuck at this point. As far as I'm concerned, the error is quite logical. I've updated vCenter using the secondary server, and then I'm trying to connect (according to the guide) with another version that breaks down.

  If I continue with the services stop and launch the installer SSO, it is trying to perform an uninstall!

  Did I miss something in this upgrade?

  Concerning

  
  Ciaran

  Hi guys, VMware have finally updated the documentation to reflect the right way forward: https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/heartbeat_pubs.html U1 6.5 Select from the menu drop-down and you'll see the last date of update for each of the documentation is now 10/10/2013. The guide States now specifically to restore the vCenter database before proceeding with any other measure, this is copied below for convenience: "the upgrade of the main server of the upgrade process further guess upgrading the secondary server completed successfully. Procedure 1 before continuing the upgrade process, perform a restore of the database of vCenter Server, Single Sign-On database, VMware Update Manager database and SSL certificates that were backed up in step 4 on the secondary server. regards Ciaran

• Lab Manager V3 and a second NETWORK card

  Hello everyone. I have a question I hope you can help me with. In Lab Manager V2.5, we were having a problem with fencing. Our fencing required 5 IPs and our customer wants about 100 fences. As we seek to do not use more than 2 C all classes of IP addresses, we hoped an alternative solution.

  Our current idea is to try to use the second NETWORK card on a separate internal switch. This option would use the internal IP for 4 IP addresses and an external IP address. Although this plan seems feasible in theory, the V2.5 Lab Manager did not work to achieve this end. Thus, we are now experiencing V3. Does anyone know if this plan of attack is feasible? If so, what measures are necessary to achieve this goal? The second NETWORK card will be detected automatically by the Lab Manager, or is there a configuration I do not see any there to achieve?

  In short, I need to know if a second NETWORK adapter is feasible with V3 before submitting a request for a second switch. Please let me know if anyone has any info on this subject. Thank you kindly.

  LM 3.0 allows to use up to 4 network LM by VM Interfaces.  A Network Interface is the combination of the virtual NETWORK card and a physical interface LM LM 3.0, or virtual network.  Networking has been considerably strengthened LM 2.5 days.  Instead of a comprehensive physical network, you can have several (limit)? Physical networks that map to vSwitches in your vCenter/ESX host environment.  The Act of creating a physical network of LM 3.0 creates a group of ports on the vSwitch that you you mapped physical network LM.  Each physical network can accommodate up to worth (1024) 4 c of static IP addresses.  If you want that your different physical networks LM using different physical network interface cards on the ESX host, map to different vCenter/ESX vSwitches.

  Fencing is also managed a little more dynamically without the limitations in number of closed configs that were in previous versions.  All virtual machines in a fenced config needs to be hosted on the same ESX host however.

  Oh, virtual networks are a separate issue, which allow the installation of a local network visible only to virtual machines in a configuration.

  I hope this helps.

  Don't forget if the answers help you, award points
