• Do I really need 2 Windows servers to run vCenter Server Ess. ?

  I used free ESXi on the host only for a year or two and now decided it's time to become a paying user perform a VMware. That's why I bought VMware vSphere Essentials Kit.

  Installing ESXi on a new host went well past, but after having tried installing vCenter Server Essentials, it seems that if I need to buy 2 Windows servers just to run it-1 Windows for the vCenter Server Server Essentials and a another server Windows because vCenter Server Essentials installs on a domain controller. Is this really true? Would be quite a blow for a small business that does not use Windows servers...

  Hello

  go to the download page for vSphere. You can download the vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA).

  It is a pre-installed virtual machine that runs on SLES, so no windows license is required.

• 'Best practices' by vCenter server Windows Update IM & C.

  Ciao,.

  vcenter he having in con virtuale db remote mssql (sempre su VM) ho sempre fatto gli convenctions di windows sul vCenter Server doing place prima snapshot uno, poi e riavvio, verification che sia tutto ok tramite windows update it controllo del vCenter Service status (the icona con lo stetoscopio verde) snapshot rimozione poi. Sempre tutto liscio m'immagino mia sia corretta would quindi fits.

  E' a po' più quando vuole aggiornare vm complex con db server for it, perche quando if production questa it servizio vCenter sull'altra Può avere problemi.

  A better procedure migliore sia che feeling:

  • airfare snapshot con della VM MSSQL
  • Spegnere con VM it vCenter Server e gli altri servizi (es SSO)
  • Update Windows riavvio e sulla VM MSSQL
  • riaccensione VM con vCenter & C
  • test
  • rimozione instantly

• Service component of VMware Manager fails to start in vCenter Server 6 Update 2

  Hello

  A brief idea of my test environment:

  VCenter servers:

  VC1 - recorded at the psc1 in Site1

  VC2 - recorded at psc2 in Site2

  External Services platform controllers:

  psc1 - Site1

  PSC2 - Site2

  SSO domain: vsphere.local

  I upgraded from vCenter Server 5.5 update 3d to vCenter Server 6.0 Update 2. VCenter 5.5 servers had integrated / embedded of SSO and all services running on the same machine and were in modes related before the upgrade and I have them removed modes related before the upgrade. They have been upgraded to vCenter Server 6.0 with Embedded PSC and they entered automatically improved Linked Mode (ELM).

  After the previous step, I deployed the PSC external psc1 respectively 2 and psc2 mode of replication with vc1 and vc2 in the same site Site1 and Site2. I migrated then boarded two PSC vCenter servers to their respective partners external PSC of replication by running the command cmsso-util reconfigure - repoint-PSC "psc1/psc2" - administrator user name - domain name "vsphere.local" - passwd "Hasło_Administratora." This operation ended successfully and my vCenter have been reconfigured as vCenter Server with external CFP.

  After that, I followed article KB VMware 2127057 (agreements ofdetermination of replication and the State with the service controller 6.0 platform (2127057) |) The VMware KB) do psc1 and psc2 external replication of the PSC 2 partners either by running the command vdcrepadmin-f createagreement-2--h psc2.clifford.local h psc1.clifford.local u Administrator w 'Hasło_Administratora '. I ran this command psc2. Also, this operation succeeded, and when I ask the State of replication of the psc1 of replication partners and psc2, there is nothing wrong. However, after restarting my vSphere Infrastructure, I see that vc1, psc1 and psc2 have all their services started successfully.

  VC2 services seem to be failing, especially the service component manager of VMware which is required for many other services start. The VMware HTTP Reverse Proxy service starts properly and I have no IIS role / feature installed on my machine. The error message that occurs when you try to manually start the service is also attached as a file Error2.JPG in the discussion. The Windows event log error is as deeply as the file Error3.JPG in the discussion.

  Please let me know how to solve this problem as soon as possible.

  Well, I found a solution myself.

  In fact, after I created the external PSC 2 psc1 and psc2 partners of replication of the vc1 and vc2 in Site1 and Site2 respectively, I had to immediately follow section KB VMware 2127057 in order to create a replication agreement between the 2 external to the PSC psc1 and before psc2 I reconfigured and show the vCenter servers vc1 and vc2 of on-Board of the PSC outside the PSC following the VMware Documentation (Center of) VSphere documentation 6.0).

  That's all.

  Thanks to all for looking into it.

• How can I safely expand the vdisk my vCenter server located on?

  Hey all, I'm a fairly recent convert to VMware and I really like what it has to offer. I'm still learning about it even after my class a week about a month ago. My current dilemma is that my vCenter server is a virtual machine sitting on a 120 GB vdisk but when I go to the summary page for this virtual machine storage usage is 124,17 GB. I was going to close vCenter and vSphere Client software to increase the size of the disk, but I was afraid that that affect my running virtual machines? I tried Googling and couldn't find anything definitive either way. So, can I safely stop vCenter and increase its size to drive this way? If this is not the case, what is the best way to increase the size of the disk?

  Thank you

  Joe B

  Assuming that it is a virtual Windows machine (vCenter Server is also available as a Linux-based appliance) you don't need to shut down the guest operating system. Just resize the virtual disk of the virtual machine in the virtual machine settings and then increase the size of the partition in the disk of the guest Manager.

  BTW. used 124 GB drive space intended to trade files of the virtual machine, and a few configuration files.

• Access to the server vCenter Server security policy

  Scenario:

  Users must have different levels of access to virtual machines.  Some need only to be able to turn it on, restart and shut down the virtual machines.  Some need taking pictures, power on, power off, then restart.

  Others must be able to do anything.

  There is an existing Active Directory server.

  We do not want to overwhelm vCenter server with too many concurrent connections.  More than 3000 users must turn on and off the virtual machines and take snapshots.

  Less than 50 administrators full privileges in vCenter Server.

  We must use AD when it is possible to set up groups of users who have different privileges.

  What are the strategies to achieve this?  We should create a 'leap VMs' set in an area of special security for those who need access to vCenter Server to power on virtual machines and take pictures?

  What security products facilitate such scenarios?

  Subsequently vcloud or Automation Center vCenter vCenter Operations Manager will be used.  The solution must be able to integrate all the products of VMware management as opposed to replacing them.

  Thanks for your comments.

  Hello

  Actually, you are not generically allow access to a virtual machine, a console instead, if you allow access to a virtual machine that you want to monitor access very closely because it (other than RDP) console through the virtualization management services (ala vCenter). I would use tools such as HyTrust, Xceedium, Thycotic, etc. for monitor/audit access. Personally, I'm just saying my system administrators use RDP as it does not pass through the layers of virtualization management. If they need access CD for example, I provide other ways to access the ISOs of a common share (VCD, loop media) instead of asking someone to use vCenter.

  A poor man to get the same functionality is to create a proxy service that connects to all requests for access to the consoles and serves as additional security gateway in the virtualization management devices (ala vCenter). This way a request to go directly to the virtual console is properly logged and you can use this same proxy to make queries to Mount/unmount images, etc. By using a proxy, hytrust, Xceedium or Thycotic you can let him manage the 3000 user requests, limit the number of connections allowed at any time (which is a must), set timeouts, but especially you can delegate all through a service inside of vCenter account so that you can get the best control of your environment. Logging, these tools provide is enough to meet verification requirements.

  However, the best suggestion is to enable all simply do not. I have been broadcast to a virtual environment for years and I would order access to the console of a virtual computer was simply not necessary. You want a complete separation between the management of virtualization and the rest of the world.

• with the help of a vcenter server to manage different clusters.

  Hi all... I have a question about our current configuration.

  I have an Enterprise acceleration kit (6CPU), which is controlled by a vcenter server.

  I recently bought a vsphere essentials kit to host our "replica/backup server.

  I installed a secondary appliance of vsphere server on this kit essentials to host these servers.

  My question is can I use the server a vsphere, add these two licenses and all manage from the single interface?

  I guess adding a new cluster or datacenter would be the way to go, but not too sure if this is the best way to approach it.

  Thank you

  Nathan

  Of http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere_pricing.pdf

  "vSphere Essentials and Essentials Plus Kits are stand-alone solutions and cannot be decoupled or combined with other editions of vSphere."

  Unless I am mistaken, it is even technically applied, i.e. you cannot add "Essentials" authorized hosts (with the exception of the retail and executive offices Kits) of a vCenter Server Standard edition.

• Saving a vCenter Server in vSphere Client Web (5.5)

  Hello

  I was wondering if it is possible to save multiple vCenter servers (all vCenter Server devices) with a single instance of vSphere Web Client that runs on one of these devices to vCenter?

  VCSA1 > use built in Web Client to manage all vCenter servers.

  VCSA2 > register with VCSA1.

  VCSA3 > register with VCSA1.

  I find no 5.5 specific information but what I've read I think it's possible on 5.1. The ' admin - cmd.sh' script does not seem to be present in my 5.5 VCSA however.

  VSphere Documentation Centre

  The Server system, a device to vCenter Server vCenter is pre-recorded with the vSphere Client Web inside the unit. To register for another system of vCenter Server with the vSphere Client Web installed as part of a vCenter Server Appliance, you must use the admin-app script from the command line rather than the Web-based administration tool.

  vCenter Infrastructure Navigator 5.7 Documentation Center

  /usr/lib/VMware-vSphere-client/scripts/Admin-cmd.sh register https://WebClient.mydomain.com:9443 / vsphere client Director of VC.mydomain.com 'CENSORSHIP'

  Thanks for any help.

  The admin app is no longer available with vCenter 5.5. If you register all the vCSA to a SSo central, they will all see the place in the web client unique management this SSO Server vCenter.

• Compatibility of VMware vCenter Server 4 Foundation to vSphere with ESX 3 Standard VI

  We are already use VMware ESX Server 3.5 VI.

  Our intention is to buy VMware vCenter Server 4 Foundation for vSphere addition VI ESX 3.5 Server running on a separate server. Our concern is;

  1. is VMware vCenter Server 4 Foundation for backward compatible product vSphere with VMware ESX Server 3.5?

  2 If no, then is it a similar product of VMware, which is compatible with VMware ESX Server 3.5?

  Please notify.

  VMware vCenter Server Foundation 4.0 can handle up to 3 vSphere or legacy hosts.  If you need to manage more than 3 guests, you should definitely consider vCenter Server Standard edition.

• vCentre Server 2.5 cannot connect to the VSphere host

  vCentre Server 2.5 with VMware 3.5 host work well, but it cannot connect to VSphere host.

  On step 4: ready to perform, there is an error message:

  Cannot access the specified host. He either does not close, the server software does not respond, or there is a network problem.

  In fact, I can see all the virtual machines on the host vSphere on phase II: summary of the host. So, I do not suspect the problems to which the error message mentioned above. I really want to know how vCentre 2.5 Server can work with vSphere well.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  vCenter Server 2.5 is not compatible with vSphere 4.x host. I think that VMware announced document compatibility matrix (between hypervisor host ESX and vCenter Server or other components). Please see below URL:

• Identify yourself to the local administrators not vCenter

  Hi there at - it configurations to allow ESXadmin in AD, but members are not local administrators of the server installed with Vcentre to be able to connect tnto Vcente?

  With the vsphere client, you will be able to select the permissions tab section which can be used to assign a role for this object in the vCenter inventory. There are 8 roles created by default, you may not create everything. In the permissions tab is where you can select a user AD or a group, assign these roles e. You can find the tab Permissions at different levels of the tree of the Virtual Center inventory.

  If you select Add permission, you will be able to match a local window or ad group or a user with a role of virtual Center. For example, I could say that my Windows AD user account can be an administrator of the Virtual Machine to a virtual server in the Virtual Center.

  Once this is done, they will be able to access the server vcenter vcenter server can reach an AD domain controller as

• vCenter Server service does not start after you run Windows updates

  On a regular basis, my vCenter Server service fails to start after the automatic updates of windows are applied.  The vCenter server is a datacenter 2008R2 VM.
