• VMware vCenter plugin to MD-storage arrays - error

  Hello community,

  I need your help by installing the plugin vCenter for MD3620i.

  After installing it, I can't use the plug-in in the vSphere client error:

  The following error occurred during the download of the plugin script of
  vCenter-IP-address/.../Configuration.xml:
  Request failed because of a logon failure. (Unable to connect to the remote server)

  What do you think could be the reason for this error?

  Thank you!

• Save and VCenter Plugin

  Hi all

  To make it fast:

  We have recently changed all the infrastructure, including a new inverter: http://www.dellups.com/solutionUSS_list.asp?SOLID=793120&ResellerIDCode=1 (1920w).

  We had a critical VMware edition more (with a Vcenter) and wanted to use would SAVE it to manage the correct closing of the VMS ESX hosts.

  Would save is installed on the same VM as the Vcenter, windows firewall is disabled (Vcenter default ports are used).

  The main problem is when we add the Vcenter virtualization module (connection I tried with domain\user or user@domain).

  We can see this error in the log file:

  Type:	Error
  Module:	VMwareWebService
  Message:	Error on the VMware login process
  Details:	Host 'Vcenter.xxx.lan': Session is not authenticated.

  The Vcenter plugin has never appeared in the Vcenter.

  Any good idea how to solve this problem is welcome... There were no suggestions or details about this error.

  (I can give more details if it helps)

  A.Giraud,

  I have the same issue using VCenter 5.1 and I use the Dell Economiserait on a VM RC2 in Windows Server 2008 software.

  After struggling for 2 days, I finally called both VMware and Dell technical are supported.  Dell said that it is a known issue with VMware Vcenter 5.1 integration and AD.  They are currently working on a solution to this problem.  If someone else got the software would save to work with VCenter 5.1please carillon because as it is now he wouldn't be able to get around reported by Dell.

• How to run Windows Upgrade VCenter with little or no problem at all?

  Hello

  I have 24 x Servers VMware ESXi 5.1 update 1 on HP Blade servers managed by my VCenter VMware Windows virtual machine that is currently in version vCenter Server 5.1 patch 1 (build 1064983 2013-04-25) as follows:

  Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Standard - 1 x vCPU & 10 GB vRAM

  Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Standard Edition (64-bit) (SP2) - 10.0.4000.0

  My question is which of the Sub VCenter upgrade version is less stressful or no problem at all:

  VMware vCenter Server 5.1 Update 3 has and modules

  VMware vCenter Server 5.5 updated 2nd and modules

  
  

  Note: Since the VCenter and DB SQL are in one place, I model clonedto the exsiting running VCenter server for roll simple return by deploying model when you connect directly to ESXi where the model is running.
  

  
  

  Thanks in advance.

  Given that the process of updating U3 5.1 or 5.5 U2 is as the same, I strictly recommend you upgrade to version 5.5, in this way, you don't need to upgrade your vCenter again if you decide to upgrade your guests the time later.

• vCenter Plugin - host and iDRAC on separate networks - Options?

  Hi all

  We have 2 x R720 of virtual hosts with LOM IPs on the LAN (10.227.0.x) and runs in dedicated mode NIC iDRAC IPs on a physically separate management network - iDRAC. 10.227.2.x and is accessible from the management network. Dell vCenter Management Plugin is running and registered with vCenter a connection profiles - 1 by the server.

  When I test the connection profile, he can talk to the IP of LOM, but fails on the IP of the iDRAC. Firmware and guarantee of stock also fail. IDRAC IPs are not the ping requests from the inside of the base of the plugin CentOS.

  The script of http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/19/KCS/KcsArticles/ArticleView?c=us&docid=597574 watch ProtocolEndpoint.bat is correctly resolve the IP of the iDRAC, but obviously he can't talk about it because the networks are not related. So, what are my options here:

  • Can I somehow configure iDRAC with a LAN and IP network management (probably spend far using the iDRAC dedicated NIC)?
  • Should I just temporarily change the iDRAC dedicated NIC on the LAN, Exchange patch cords, vCenter Plugin do and then come back?
  • Is it possible to set up a route network in the CentOS based for the plugin? Get root access to who seems to be not not possible (admin password does not work and account readonly is exactly that, and the command line does not work either) - this combined with some other fiddling network could work
  • Other options?

  I would prefer if the plugin could speak to iDRAC R720 24/7 constant monitoring, but the main purpose of the plugin for us is occasional updates, amending thus temporarily iDRAC dedicated IPs is an option.

  Thank you

  Lukas

  Update: works around this by temporarily putting iDRAC NIC on the local network.

• Change the VoP url in vCenter plugin

  We notice that the VoP vCenter plugin accesses our server of VoP by IP address, which generates warnings of certificate. How/where can we change the current https:// the plugin url seems to use something like https:// ?

  Hello

  When this happens, the easiest way to fix is to remove the plugin from vCenter manually, by following this process:

  First, clear the checkbox for the Plugin from vCenter in VoP under settings-> General-> tab environment for the server vCenter in question.

  Then follow these steps to remove the plug-in to vCenter:

  1. In a web browser, navigate to http://Server vcenter or IP name/mob.
     Where the server vcenter or IP name is the name of your server vCenter or its IP address
  2. Click on content.
  3. Click ExtensionManager.
  4. Select and copy the name of the plug-in to remove from the list of values under properties.
  5. Click UnregisterExtension. A new window appears.
  6. Paste the name of the plug-in, and then click the Invoke method. This command deletes the plug-in.
  7. Close the window.
  8. Refresh the window of Managed Object Type: ManagedObjectReference:ExtensionManager to check if the plugin is removed successfully.

  Note: If the plugin continues to appear, you may need to restart the vSphere Client.

  Finally, re-check the plugin at the entrance of the vCenter server in VoP to have re - install the plugin making reference to the new IP address.

  In the future, before changing the IP address of VoP, remove the checkbox on the entrance of the vCenter server and save.  Which will automatically remove the plugin entry, then you can re - check this last after the VoP IP is updated.

• vCenter plugins script

  If someone has messed with vCenter plugins? I need to write a script to see if a plugin is enabled or disabled. So far, I've not had much luck finding the right API hooks. I haven't even looked the configuration XML files and I can't see an o ' dem.

  I scoured ExtensionManager and do not see an indication of the issue of whether a plugin is enabled or not. It's got to be in the SDK somewhere well.

  I think you are mixing two different features here.

  The ExtensionManager allows to add/remove additional features for the VirtualCenter with Register/Unregister methods.

  Some examples: Converter, Update Manager, reports performance overview...

  Some of these Extensions provide for the vSPhere Client plugins.

  Most of the time these plugins allow to interact with the Extension.

  But it can also be freestanding plugins.

  For example, the following XML creates an entry pointing to a local PowerCLI reference.

  
       PowerCLI Refrence
       PowerCLI Reference
       
       
       file://D:\User\vSphere PowerCLI Cmdlets Reference\index.html
       
  
  

  These plugins are computerized, that is if you 'enable' a plugin on PC1, it will be automatically activated on PC2.

  The enabled/disabled state of a plugin is stored in the registry in HKCU\Software\VMware\VMware Infrastructure Client\Preferences\UI.

  Each plugin has a REG - SZ key with a value of enabled or disabled.

• Plugin Version-is not installed

  How I installed the Adobe flash player plugin version. I just installed the latest version of Flash Player and when I open it it shows the ActiveX Version is installed 10.3.181.34 but the plug-in is not.

  (For Internet Explorer) ActiveX control and plugin (for other browsers) are separate installers.  You must run both to have the two Add-ons of Flash Player installed.

  You can download them from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html

• HP Proliant DL360e + Bus host H221 + HP P2000 G3 storage array

  Hello

  I have the following equipment:

  -HP Proliant DL360e

  -H221 Host Bus

  Storage array - HP P2000 G3

  The software to install is VMware 5.1. I download the ISO on the HP website.

  I could install VM disk on the DL360e when the storage array is not connected.

  I could connect to the storage array and configure the raid array by using the network card.

  The problem:

  At startup, when I connect the HP H221 of the controller cable to the storage group. The server hangs when you try to initialize the H221. The message is "initialization".

  If I connect the cable after booting, I can't find storage array P2000.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you and best regards,

  Irshad

  Discovered that one of the host H221 bus is defective.

  Hi Surya,

  No, it's not any problem with the configuration of your path.

  It only means that this policy does not allow additional configuration.

  I.e. with fixed NMP, you would be able to configure a preferred path allowing you to manually distribute the i/o load.

  Your current configuration does not offer this option.

  Kind regards

• ESX server with 2 different storage array?

  Hello.

  I currently have my ESX servers connected to storage DS4700 and most berries.  Each ESX is double path via a switch which, in turn, allows me to see my DS4700.  My question is, can I i the area my ESX Server so that it can "see" my DS8300 and I would be able to assign LUNS of my ESX servers with no problems?  Both can coexist?  I think I should use for my DS4700 host bus adapters and host bus adapters that are dedicated to my DS8300?  A UNIX point, these 2 storage arrays do not 'communicate' the same way (for example, SDD and RDAC).

  Thank you.

  Steph

  SDD driver is for the multipath. VMware has its own multi-channel driver that is shipped with ESX server, you won't not any 3rd party multipathing software.

  In any case to be abel to see camps Bay you have no need to activate the software multpathing. It is intended only to provide a redundant path to any logical unit number hosted by a single table through several MS SPs/Ports.

  Area just for DS8300 ESX Server and a new analysis should see the new targets and when you present LUNS to your host definetion analyze again another you should see the DS8300 LUN.

  I hope this helps.

• Data to be moved to the new storage array: ASM_POWER_LIMIT question

  DB version: 10.2.0.4
  Solaris operating system: 5.10
  Setup: 2 NŒUD RAC storage 2 TB of data in 4 LUNS (all 4 LUNs belong to a single storage group)
  
  We will replace our IBM 2 existing a new 4 TB storage array to Sun Storagetek.
  
  That's what I decided to do after a few R & D.
  
  Below are the steps that I've prepared based ML Note: 557348.1
  
  Create 4 LUNs on the new storage, and then create a test using Diskgroup
  

  SQL> CREATE DISKGROUP TEST EXTERNAL REDUNDANCY DISK '/rdsk/c0t1s1', '/rdsk/c0t1s2', '/rdsk/c0t1s3', '/rdsk/c0t1s4';

  Check if the diskgroup is created and mounted:

  SQL> SELECT STATE, NAME FROM V$ASM_DISKGROUP;

  If so, then manually mount on other instances of ASM:

  SQL> ALTER DISKGROUP TEST MOUNT;
  SQL> SELECT STATE, NAME FROM V$ASM_DISKGROUP;

  If the previous steps were successful and the diskgroup TEST can be mounted with success (on each ASM instance), and then drop the diskgroup TEST as follows:

  SQL> alter diskgroup test dismount; --(from all the ASM instances, except from one).
  
  SQL> DROP DISKGROUP TEST; --(from the ASM instance, which the diskgroup is still mounted). 

  Records of candidate is ready to be added to the desired diskgroup:

  SQL> ALTER DISKGROUP <my production diskgroup> ADD DISK '/rdsk/c0ts1', '/rdsk/c0t1s2', '/rdsk/c0t1s3', '/rdsk/c0t1s4';

  My question:
  Since involved LUNS are of large size, and rebalancing would make the command Add DRIVE slower. Right?
  I am thinking of setting the ASM_POWER_LIMIT to 0 until I started to do this and later new rever to 1. Is this a good approach?

  Hello

  My question:
  Since involved LUNS are of large size, and rebalancing would make the command Add DRIVE slower. Right?

  No, when you run the command ' add/drop disc' ASM reads and writes only metadata in the headers of all asmdisks (belonging to the diskgroup) and the guest is released.
  The complete rebalancing of the data process runs in the background.

  The fact that the guest to be released does not mean that the operation has ended. You need to check on the V$ ASM_DISKS (GROUP_NUMBER, PATH, HEADER_STATUS, NAME) to determine if you can remove the disks to the HOST.

  see this example (no difference at the time of change of power of rebalancing)

  ===================================================
  
  SQL> ALTER DISKGROUP DG_DATA
          ADD DISK '/dev/oracleasm/disks/ASM_VOL'
          DROP DISK DG_DATA_0000
  REBALANCE POWER 0; 
  
  Diskgroup altered.
  
  Elapsed: 00:00:07.90
  
  ====================================================
  SQL> ALTER DISKGROUP DG_DATA
          ADD DISK '/dev/oracleasm/disks/DISK01'
          DROP DISK DG_DATA_0001
  REBALANCE POWER 5; 
  
  Diskgroup altered.
  
  Elapsed: 00:00:08.21
  

  I am thinking of setting the ASM_POWER_LIMIT to 0 until I started to do this and later new rever to 1. Is this a good approach?

  You must know that the rebalancing will take place when there is a change of configuration diskgroup.
  Be careful, affecting the ASM_POWER_LIMIT 0 can let the diskgroup in a State of imbalance or unbalanced. (I do not recommend this)

  My recommendation:

  (* 1) save all your databases and valid backup (always required to protect your data). *

  You NEED to check the note below before add your ASMDISK.
  * Block Corruption in ASM while that balance [ID 1098453.1] *.

  2) run in two steps

  alter diskgroup  add disks  rebalance power x;
  alter diskgroup  drop disks  rebalance power x;
  

  Or Execute in a single step. (My favorite)
  Alternatively, we can run add disk & drop drive statements in a single operation, in what way that a rebalancing operation will be launched.

  alter diskgroup 
   add disk 
   drop disk 
  rebalance power 9;
  

  Wait until the end of the operation of rebalancing.
  You can follow the process of rebalancing using the following queries:

  SELECT  NAME,
       PATH,
       HEADER_STATUS,
       ROUND(TOTAL_MB/1024)  TOTAL_GB,
        ROUND( FREE_MB/1024) FREE_GB,
       ROUND((TOTAL_MB-FREE_MB)/1024) TOTAL_USED_GB
  FROM V$ASM_DISK
  WHERE GROUP_NUMBER= (SELECT GROUP_NUMBER FROM
       V$ASM_DISKGROUP WHERE NAME='DG_DATA');
  
  select * from v$asm_operation; 
  
  select * from gv$asm_operation;
  
  select      NAME,
       ROUND(TOTAL_MB/1024)  TOTAL_GB,
       ROUND( FREE_MB/1024) FREE_GB,
       ROUND((TOTAL_MB-FREE_MB)/1024) TOTAL_USED_GB,
       UNBALANCED
  FROM V$ASM_DISKGROUP;
  

  Kind regards
