• No VRM server registered with vCenter Server for the site 'Live '.

  I have SRM 6.1 and vSphere replication 6.1 installed on both sites.

  The ECP is connected to the vCenter server.

  I get this error message: failed to create the protection group. No VRM server registered with vCenter Server for the site 'Live '.

  Screenshot attached, no one knows what is happening here?

  

  However, there was a mismatch in the meantime server on all except VRA in the remote site, it is now resolved and the issue disappeared.

  Strange, how the error related to the site online, however.

  Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

• 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".

• The host is licensed with VMware vSphere 5 Standard. The license of vCenter Server edition doesn't support VMware vSphere 5 Standard.

  So I disconnected a host to vcenter server and now I get this error message when I try to reconnect to this host.  The host has been previously connected without any problem.  Vcenter servers as esxi are 5.5.0.  Anyone had any experience with this?

  Thank you.

  Unfortunately, I can't tell you for sure why it worked previously. Maybe it worked with an earlier version, or hosts have been added while vCenter Server was still running in trial mode. Anyway, if you have a license of Essentials for vCenter Server, you must also license processors Essentials the Essentials version is sold as a kit.

• VPXD problems with vCenter Server Appliance

  I try to use Linux vCenter Server Appliance for a server certificate.  I have a host that has virtual machines to the server and the VMWorkbench material.

  When I try to configure the Pb in the browser interface, I can't do the TEST SETTINGS because it says I must first of all STOP vpxd.

  How to start and stop vpxd?

  Hello

  Just replace restart with Start/Stop

• problem with vCenter Server 4.0 Update 1

  I have ower vCenter Server 4.0 Update 1 upgrade in December, somehow the version number is not right.

  The build number of the show is always 208111 if I trie to reinstall the update 1 only, I can completely uninstall the vCenter Server.

  So, the update seems to be installed anyway nor 100% corectly.

  The vCenter Server Loggenerator also shows me the 208111 build.

  Because of this I also can't update the last Patch1 for Update Manager.

  Way to go VMware... I love how just release notes say "run Setup". Of course, it was all buried a few deep records, not at the root of the zip file.

• vSphere Enterprise license with vCenter 5 Standard edition 5

  Guys quick question

  can I add a vSphere Enterprise 5 (or more) allowed a couple of new hosts (especially need FT and DRS) in conjunction with vSphere standard licenses already in service (and you want to keep) under a vCenter Standard edition 5?

  Thank you

  I don't see a problem with running differently licensed hosts on one instance of vCenter server. Due to different features, you will need to place them in separate well groups. With respect to the vRAM, I understand how it vRAM is pooled by license type, then you will end up with two swimming pools.

• vSphere license without vCenter Server Standard

  Hello

  I have ESXi (free licenses) servers. I want to make snapshots regualar usin the CLI to a virtual machine. This is not possible with the free version. Is it possible to buy a vSphere Standard edition license to activate these features, without vCenter Server?

  Thank you.

  The best way to "unlock" the CLI is to get Essentials edition. No need to setup the vCenter server.

• Weird error with vCenter Server 5.1 plugin

  Hello

  I installed orchestrator device 5.1 with vCenter plugin. Everything is green and seems well configured.

  I am able to connect with the vCenter client and access all workflows of my!

  But when I access parts of plugin and wants to explore the vCenter Server, orchestrator returns me this error:

  [16:29:50.477 2013-04-15] [E] the authorization to perform this operation was denied. : System.View/Folder - group-d1(IP vCenter)

  I don't understand why. The user that I configured in the configuration of the plugin vCenter is an administrator and has all privileges...

  You have an idea?

  Thanks for your help.

  Concerning

  Hello!

  Are you sure the user that you have configured to connect to vCenter has the appropriate permissions to this level?

  Even for an administrator at the level of the root in vCenter you can remove/override the lower-level permissions.

  Using SSO?

  And: What authentication policy for the vCenter Plugin have you configured?

  With a ' user' logs also the user connect to vSphere WebClient / vCO must have the appropriate permissions.

  You can try to reconfigure the vCO to use a "shared session", then for all operations of the user you set up (hopefully with administrative permissions in vCenter) is used for all operations.

  See you soon,.

• Basci question with vCenter server & ESXi 4.1

  Dear all,

  A question really of entry level. Currently, we have a production system works as shown in the picture. High availability has been configured in the VirtualCenter server. My question is if the power of host01 has been cut, SERVER01 Virtualcenter Server & Application (the two are running) cannot yet migrate to host02. In other words, does Virtualcenter for HA after completing the configuration? Or is there a special setup for this kind of solution within the Cluster.

  Thank you!

  HA has been configured correctly and works correctly, it should not matter if the vCenter server fails. The hosts are smart enough to work when there's a problem via exchange of pulse on their management network. To answer your question, the virtual machines running on host01 must be restarted on host02...

• License with Windows Server 2008 Guest OS.

  Hello

  I installed on a host (System Dell R810) vSphere with 24 physical cores with hyper-threading. If I install a Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition/64-bit, on the physical hardware, I see 48 processors.

  I would like to convert this system into a system in a virtualized with vSphere environment. Assuming that I buy enough licenses VMWare, which is the maximum number of VMWare virtual cores I can refer to various OS comments? Also, if I have the Windows Standard edition, which is the maximum. number of virtualized hearts would be the guest operating system, see?

  Also, is there a document describing how licensing works and how things refers to a VMWare deployment.

  Thank you.

  http://www.VMware.com/download/EULA/multicore.html

  VMware licenses is based on the number of Sockets in the box... carrots.

  Here is a short breakdown in licensing requirements.

  ESXi free-4 core support only.

  Software licenses with hearts of six (6) by restriction of processor: vSphere Essentials, vSphere Essentials Plus, vSphere Standard and vSphere Enterprise

  Twelve software licenses (12) cores per CPU restriction: vSphere Advanced and vSphere Enterprise Plus

  Microsoft licenses - depends on the day: o)

  It's your best reference. - http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/E/C/EECF5D44-9A88-43D8-AFDB-D2AB82BE035C/Win%20Server%20Lic%20Book%20customer%20hi-res.pdf

  Windows Standard - for each license, you get a single virtual machine.

  Windows Enterprise - for each license, you can run 4xVM

  Windows Datacenter - you register each Jack in the box (like VMware) - run as VM of this family of products that you can (IE, Windows 2008, Datacenter Edition allows all x Windows 2008 flavours).  I'm not positive is a Windows 2008 R2 allows to downgrade to Windows 2008 flavors as well.  So I guess.

  My recommendation - pony up the money and get data center and then laugh if Microsoft comes audit because you don't care.

  SQL 2008 licensing - read carefully - it changes and is confusing.  Best to call the Microsoft license program to be positive.

  Hardware capabilities

  Limitations of VMware – you can create within a VM CPU 8. However if you need that many cores... rethink its acceptability of virtualization.  See #5, and then read it again.

  Now, just throw in the standard practices and answering the questions I know you will come back and ask.

  #1-non, it has no USB support in a virtual machine.  You can't attach an external drive to your VM.  Look at the IP/USB devices for the solutions for this.

  #2-Si you create a larger hardware RAID array then 2 TB it won't work.  Each virtual disk/LUN/table/Container (to use the terminology whaever) needs to be more boy then 2 TB-512bytes (use 1.99 TB to be sure). RDM, also, cannot be greater then 2 TB.  In addition, I recommend to use initiator ISCI inside the virtual machine.

  #3-la recommendation is to try to stay in the range of 10-20 VMS per VMFS volume (much busy VM can cause scsi reservation issues).  He got much better then you can push the limits (wait for RParkers response when he sees it: o))

  #4-you can create multiple VMFS volumes and join them together to make a larger VMFS volume.  Strongly discouraged

  practical #5-bonnes of virtualization - forget what you know about the allocation of resources.  Start a Windows 2008 VM with 1 GB/Max 2 GB of RAM and a single processor.  ONLY increase CPU/RAM after you have determined you must.  Least CPU multiple VM's best for planning

  average #6-sursouscription is usually 4-5 WHAT VM by heart, but of course it depends on the load and SMP VM

  #7-do not ask solution best backup (of the beginning of war) - your typical responses are going to be Veeam, Vizioncore, esXpress as 3 all with scripts and a few others mentioned (like VDR).  Try them all (this way you can get backups and not pay for at least 90 days: o))

  #8-don't freak out cause of your VM Windows 2008 allows you to use all of the memory of your host immediately.  Until you use all of the memory, the virtual machine will be uuse large pages (which is good for performance).  Once that oversubscribe you too far, they will all move to 4 k pages, and your memory usage will drop dramatically.  After that, when the memory is the most... you are done... not go further: o)

  There are literally hundreds, but if getting vmware these tips here sticky would be we would have probably two times fewer threads and a much higher quality content.  Of course, #3, #6 and #7 will probably provoke a debate already.  I apologize in advance.

• Process of upgrading 3.5 host with vCenter server Virtual

  Hi I have recently updated my old server from client to vCenter 4.1 virtualized VI, sitting on my 3.5 cluster.  I intend to use the Update Manager to upgrade my guests, but I don't know how the virtual vCenter server is going to face?  The plan was: 1. move all the virtual machines off-host 1.  2 put the host in maintenance mode 1. 3. on the vCenter server, create a base, then line at host level 1 to 4.1. 4. now - at this point add this host in the cluster? And migrate the server vCenter top, so I can upgrade the other two hosts?  If the works above, then it should be quite a nice update, if you cannot add the new version of the host of back in, how you vMotion the vCenter server off so you can keep control of the cluster.

  IMO, it should work. To upgrade from 3.5 to 4.1, your ESX host must be in 5 update (see http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_upgrade_guide.pdf) already.

  If VMotion or migrate the server vCenter Server - for some reason-does not work, you can delete vCenter Server of the inventory of the old host and add to the inventory of the new host.

• Problem with VCenter server on VM - how to upgrade the host

  Hello.

  I have VM on VCenter.

  I can't update the host with patches critical host because he can not enter maintenance mode.

  Is it possible to do this?

  Thank you

  Best practices so that a VC Server VM on a host of multi with SAN storage environment must be available for the use of compatible hardware for VMotion or VCA VMotion.  If you do not have an environment that allow VCA to then I would say that the best practice is to have the VC server on a physical server - it can even be installed on XP.

• How to add additional sas drive to an existing IBM midsize V3700 and do like being active in all hosts with vcenter server devices

  Hello team,

  In our infra we have 8 node of the flex IBM x 240 and 1 IBM midsize V3700 host as storage device. In this 19 storage hard drives busy with 600 GB 10 k 6 GB SAS drive and 5 locations are still, that storage is divided into 2 for test and Production. Now we expect for resizing the activity so that we plan to add more 5 hdd storage, can someone guide me how do it properly without any problem.  If I add the HARD drive storage how to initialize and map to the existng storage. If someone has done this before please guide me to continue.

  What you have to do is create a new disk (mdisk) group and add to your existing (mdiskgrp), to make task record the following:

  1. click on internal disks and then bind o pools:

  

  2. click on configure storage:

  

  3. on the storage configuration wizard, you can select use recommended Configuration or select a Configuration different, but the most important is to select your existing disk group RAID level:

  

  4. then select the Expand existing Pool:

  

  Once the capacity of the new disk has been added to your existing pool, you can create new volumes to expand your existing volumes (LUNS UAT or logic of PRODUCTION unit number).

  Let me know if you need additional assistance.
