Manually restart the Dell OMSA ESX agents

Hello

Recently, I installed a server Dell OpenManage Essentials to monitor my ESX 5.0U1 hosts. I installed the VIB 7.1 via the Update Manager and everything was fine. I could detect and identify the hosts to OME and troubleshooting tool I could connect via WSMAN and retrieve all the details of the server. I also had the successfully servers send traps snmp on the server of the OME.

I didn't watch it all for a few weeks but noticed this morning that the OME server could no longer see any servers ESX and WSMAN wouldn't connect.  I want to restart the services/agents of dell on the ESX host computers without restarting the computer, but do not know the CLI commands. Could someone please.

THX

I was on the phone with Dell's VMWare support last night for just this question.

Here restarts all the services management and worked for us.

We do not MOE, but OMSA on connections to remote VMWare host management is no longer accepted.  The following fixed it without a reboot of the host.

restart the /sbin/services.sh

    Latitude E6510 - how I manually access the Dell system recovery partition?

    Hi all

    My Dell Latitude E6510 came with OEM Win 7 Pro x 64 installed. I am trying to perform a restore of the system to the factory setting.

    I tried to access advanced without result Boot Options and pressing F12 during the boot process does not provide me with the option to repair and select the recovery partition, as if it is invisible. If I use the computer management > storage I do not see the hidden partition or if I do Diskpart it is listed.

    How the BIOS or the system recognize it to boot from the recovery partition? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply but it appears not the solution you provided helped and I think you are incorrect since my original screenshot has allowed me to see the hidden partition, but I didn't know how to access it.

    I got access once I used the app "diskpart" with commands like 'list readers', 'list volume' and 'assign volumes"to access the partition of the content.

    Nevertheless, I have found that my recovery media is missing or damaged.

    Are just want to monitor the Raid or you try to do something else? You can try software raid lsi and see if it works. http://www.LSI.com/support/pages/download-results.aspx?component=storage+component&productfamily=legacy+RAID+controllers&ProductCode=P00278&assettype=0&ProductName=MegaRAID+SCSI+320-4x+ (531)

    Or this http://sourceforge.net/projects/megactl tool

    With it is not a validated OS, it is not possible so that it can work properly.

  • replace the SSL certificate in Dell OMSA 7.2

    My University is compels me to replace the Dell's SSL certificate in OMSA with a certificate from a certification authority.  We use InCommon.

    I generated a certificate using Microsoft IIS request.  InCommon generated the certificate and got sent back links to a variety of formats.

     as PKCS#7 Base64 encoded:
        Other available formats:
           as PKCS#7 Bin encoded:
           as X509, Base64 encoded:
           as X509 Certificate only, Base64 encoded:
           as X509 Intermediates/root only, Base64 encoded:
           as X509 Intermediates/root only Reverse, Base64 encoded
    
    Does anyone know what kind of certificate I need, and exactly how to install it in the apache server that runs Dell OMSA.
    

    Ok.  I have an answer.

    As far as I know, the interface Dell OMSA itself does not have to import the intermediate certificates (returns an error) and cannot be used to create a useful CSR (signature request) because you can't specify your own institutional settings. Our CA would not authenticate the CSR request generated by the Dell OMSA interface, even if it would incorporate new certificates (which she seems to fail at the).

    The simplest approach is to generate a CSR in Windows IIS, the authenticated certificate back from your CA, and then to export to a .pfx file (private, final, intermediate entity certificate and certificates root key, extended attributes).

    Use IBM tool called keyman (download www.ibm.com/developerworks).  Use the version of Windows.

    It can convert a .pfx file in a keystore apache in 3 easy steps.  1. create a new key file

    2 import the .pfx file 3. Save the key file.

    Tips on the internet suggest keeping all the passwords the same - pfx export, keystore, key, etc.

    Edit the server.xml file in the apache server to use your new password.

    Only downside is that your password will be readable text in the server.xml file.  In the original file server.xml file Dell used system tools or java to hide passwords.

  • How to install Dell OMSA on a free host VMware or VMware vSphere Hypervisor comments?

    We are virtualizing our 2012 R2 Windows Server and you have a Dell PowerEdge T310 server. We have installed vSphere hypervisor free version 5.5 on the physical server.

    Does anyone know how to install the Dell OMSA? I heard that it will not work if it is installed on the Windows Server R2 2012 host because of the virtualization layer.

    I read a few posts on how it's done, but I can't always get my head around it. I think I've also seen people install a VIB on the hypervisor vSphere itself?

    Can you please describe the General steps or point me in the right direction on how to run the OMSA? The Dell PowerEdge server has a RAID, and we must use OMSA to see a RAID controller unexpected sense errors if they are generated. We used to have a problem with consistency RAID and have had to start again before.

    He also seems to be an OMSA plugin for vCenter, but I don't think we can use vCenter because it's the free version of vSphere hypervisor.

    Hello

    There are a lot of articles and posts on how to install OMSA under VMware. If you encounter problems then please post an explanation of what you are having problems with. Here's a post I did on the subject. It has a link to a youtube video that includes step by step instructions:

    He also seems to be an OMSA plugin for vCenter, but I don't think we can use vCenter because it's the free version of vSphere hypervisor.

    Integration of OpenManage for VCenter requires always the OMSA agent must be installed on the hypervisor. Correct, it is not a free version of VCenter. No installation procedure who advises using VUM or VCenter should be ignored because you will not have access to these utilities.

  • Failure of a registry file - cannot restart the computer.

    Hello. So first of all I wanted to say that I am not an expert, but I think I've had more than my share of problems with my computer. Problems not only to get a virus, but questions of crazy system that I have no idea how they occur, or really correct.

    I have an Inspiron 1545, Vista service pack 2, 32-bit.

    In any case, I have some of my favorites showed it to my sister and I had a bunch of tabs open and Internet Explore was not load the pages to the right, it has happened and I just restart and it works again. I thought that if I manually restarted the computer, IE would my session was interrupted and when I opened it again it would open all my tabs unless I have to go find them and open them myself. I know that you are not supposed to turn off manually when you can actually go and press restart technially menu, but I did anyway... Well apparently, it was a big mistake.

    Now my computer does not restart properly. It gives me the option to restart normally, but when I hit, it indicates the green status bar briefly and then goes black and is sitting there, I did not leave very long sit, but I guess that it does not load. Then the other option is allocated to the repair of the system. He says "research issues" and "this may take a few minutes" and just, it scans and analysis, I have let it go a little over half an hour and it did nothing. I guess that he won't do anything if it does nothing in the first ten minutes. Then I hit Cancel and freezes the status on the scan and I manually restart and the same things happen. I press F8 and tried to go into safe mode and it loades among requirments system and then it's again once I didn't let it sit long, since I think that it won't work in all cases.

    I went to the System Center restoration and tried again to repair the system and the same thing... nothing happens. I tried to use a restore point, and to a point that one reason is cited even if I just made a couple months ago. In any case, it is said that since I was in a State of limited system may not perform correctly, I would in a higher State, but I can't have one. It also gives rose the failure of a registry file error and then code them (0x8007045D).

    I also tried to run the Pre Boot Assesment and he did the first part of the analysis (I don't have the rest) and it gave me this error - hard drive 0 (2000-0146)

    I read a little on the way to try to solve this problem online. I think if I can boot into safe mode with command prompt, I can run diskcheck and maybe it will fix what's wrong, but I have not tried yet, I tell myself that it won't work because I can't with regular safe mode. I also read something about starting in the Vista disc, but I don't really know what that means.

    My main fear is that I'll lose my stuff. I supported a few months ago, but I take a lot of pictures and I have not in the past months registered and they are very important to me. I'm afraid to lose. I don't know if it's something that I can fix it or if I should try a friend, or just take my computer somewhere.

    I hope no one will offer you is a hard drive problems and suggest you get a new, becaue some time ago I had some weird problem I couldn't fix it under warranty, I had the hard drive replaced and it did not fix the issue and I am not under warranty any more.

    So, can someone please help me? Thank you!

  • How to manually configure the IP, subnet, gateway on the new NIC in ESX Server 3.5

    Hello, first let me say that I am relatively new on ESX Server and so the question I ask here may seem trivial but I looked through the documentation and other threads and that you have not found quite what I'm looking for.

    I have an ESX Server 3.5 with a number of production virtual machines running works very well.  I need to install a second NETWORK adapter because my use of the network will go through the roof, once I convert a production server used in a virtual machine on this machine.  I have a server Dell PE 2950 and I bought an Intel Pro/1000 PT dual port PCI-e adapter that is on the list of hardware supported.  In the reading I did, every reason to believe that when I set up the server, the new network cards will appear in the VIC where I can assign to a new Vswitch and so forth, so I get it.  What I don't see in the VIC is a way to specify the NETWORK adapter settings.

    The problem is that the switch I connect to, put in place by our network management staff, will not be DHCP settings of NETWORK card for me, I have to manually configure the IP, subnet and gateway until I can start talking.  When I initially installed ESX, I was able to provide all parameters of NETWORK card installation - which is not the case now with the new NETWORK card and the operating system all this up and running.  How do I do this?  Thanks for any help.

    ... BillH

    Adding another physical NETWORK card to your vSwitch will make this new Teddy to comply with policies of vSwitch.  In particular, the load balancing algorithm will determine how the additional bears will get used.  By default, this is done with switch port ID.  This means that each vm NIC that feeds, will choose the next available bear to talk about.  The virtual NIC will essentially be Robin and choose the next Teddy online to talk it through and will so remain like that until a failure condition occurs, or the virtual machine is restarted.

    If you know a particular VM is a high user of I/O, and you want to separate its traffic from the rest of your virtual machine, and then create a new portgroup on vSwitch0, assign this new portgroup 3rd Teddy and use the other two as before.  In addition, in your regular exchanges, remove or make sleep 3rd Teddy.  In this way you completely isolate the heavy vm from the rest of your systems.

  • Restarting the management agents on ESXi 4.1 / risk to restart the guest virtual machines?

    Unfortunately, we must restart management on our HP ML350 G6 agents almost once a week (unable to connect with VSphere client more, customers are works well).

    We know this Article -: restart on an ESX or ESXi Server management agents

    and this article useful: http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/ESXi_restart_agents.php

    How can we avoid the ESXi 4.1 command /sbin/services.sh restart will restart our execution of virtual machines (guests) as well?

    (Our first test shows: it restarts the guests, but it is sure, or just happy coincidence?)

    According to the second article linked:

    ... This will restart the agents installed in /etc/init.d/ and with a default installation that includes: pass, ntpd, sfcbd, sfcbd-watchdog, slpd and wsmand. He is aalso restarting the agent VMware HA (AAM) if that has been activated on the host...

    Each of the agents of this is responsible for our virtual computer operation invited?

    Do we ensure "auto start/stop" to each virtual machine too (as written in "Attention" on the first linked article)?

    I think it was on ESX 3.5 U3 corected. In any case, this happened only if you autostart enabled for VMS - the ability of ESX Server to boot VMs when it starts itself. If you do not need, leave it disabled.

    Each of the agents of this is responsible for our virtual computer operation invited?

    Not at all. Virtual machines running in a very low level of the VMkernel. Even if you lose the COS (which is your main problem here - you should check it...) the VMs will still work.

  • A system totally crashed after downloading the update of windows 7 (from VHP) reloaded vista starting the Dell restore partition and reattach the requirements. Now, how can I restart upgrade

    OK, here's the deal... the Dell laptop had a recurring software validation fixed an error that I couldn't keep. I would fix it, Vista should go out and update itself and then I would reboot and bang, back right to the error again, I decided to scrap Vista and install W7. I corrected the error again once restarted in a stable Outlook, downloaded files of Windows 7 upgrade and then discovered that the netframework wasn't right, so I downloaded this solution, am to halfway through it and got a system error. HA! I'll just copy this download upgrade of the window on a USB key, hover over all my personal files on the usb drive, and reinstall Vista from the Dell partition, which I did. Then, I updated all the stuff with the Advisor to upgrade of windows, is gone in Windows 7 upgrade file I moved it to the USB and realized that this point in time, I was an asshole. What a breakthrough!  OK, now how to restart the upgrade process. I paid the money, done the downloads, message, so my hands, discussed and done all the other stuff I've done since the upgrade of Windows 3.1 (each time). Now what...

    First I would contact the people who sold you download and see if they will send again free of charge - explain the problem.  I guess you still have the product key, they have sent you that shouldn't be a problem (it will work with any download the same version of Windows7).

    Then run Windows7 Upgrade Advisor to see if your system can handle Windows7 or if she need for software or material removed or updgraded: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/upgrade-advisor.aspx.  Follow the instructions he gives as a result of the program (in fact, you should do this first - then you can deal with the download).

    After that, you need to further questions in the Windows7 Forums: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads where people who specialize in the installation and upgrade to Windows7 will be more than happy to help you in the process.  This is a forum for Vista, and you need to talk to experts in Windows7.

    I hope this helps.
