• Add ESXi4 host to vCenter 5.5 has failed, host do not support VSANS

  Hi all. I have to build a laboratory to test running with vCenter 5.5 and a server Dell PE 1950 ESXi 4.  I try to add the ESXi 4 host to vCenter 5.5 (towards a test cluster), however, the process of adding a host failed with the error message "host"x.x.x.x"does not support VSANS".  If anyone of you experience this problem, and is there a way around this problem?  I understand VSAN is a new feature on ESXi 5.1 and later, but I don't expect you to stop me adding ESXi 4 on the cluster... Thank you.

  My bad.  I thought about it.  I activated the VSANS on the cluster; Once I disabled the option to VSAN on the cluster, I am able to add the host ESXi 4...

• Problems after installing vCenter has 5.1 - no vCenter Server found

  Sorry, I'm new to this and I'm having a problem installing vCenter 5.1 has on Windows Server 2008 R2 by using the simple installation.  After completing the installation without mistakes, I starts the Web Client vSphere, connect and it comes up with no vCenter server and a message that says "to get started installation is a vCenter Server system or permission to access an existing vCenter Server system.  I'm on my 4th time well and it is consistent in the result, so I figure I should ask.

  If it's important, Windows Server is not a member of Active Directory, DNS works forward and reverse, I tried the IP address and FQDN name.

  I don't know where to be troubleshooting it.  It is my first installation of vCenter. I checked all the services, and they are running.

  I watched some log files and it seems pretty clear that something is trying to talk about something and is to be rejected, but I have no idea why.

  Anyone have any suggestions?

  During the simple installation of vCenter Server 5.1 method, it will first install the SSO part. During this part, you will be asked to create a password for a user called admin@system-domain. Please note that this user is only for the management of permissions within the standards body. That's why you can't see any instance of vCenter SSO. After completing the installation of SSO, the vCenter Server installation will be lauch. During the installation, the wizard will ask you about the password previously configured for the admin@system-domain user, enter it, and then click Next.

  Second, on the next prompt you should enter a global domain, user, or a local group who will be recognized by the SSO as vCenter Administrator service. Then complete the installation. In the end, make sure the "SSL Port" under the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ADAM_VMwareVCMSDS\Parameters registry key is REG_DWORD with a decimal value of 636.

  See: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1023864

  After that, open the vSphere Client or the webclient service, enter your vCenter Server server's FULL domain name and and a name/password user (domain\username), which has permission such vCenter administrator mentioned in part II.

  I hope this helps.

  Kind regards.

• Add new vCenter 4.1 Server

  I am unable to get a new server vCenter 4.1 appears in the inventory on my vFoglight 5.5.2 (Build: 552-20091101-1805) server. I was able to install the Vmware Agent Virtual on my new server vCenter. The new vCenter server now has the Collector services and VMware vFoglight running Connector.

  How understand why the new vCenter server does not appear in the console of vFoglight?

  as Jason pointed out the best thing to do is open a support case. You can also watch the collector files & connector.log in the agent folder. They should give you a clue as to what may cause the problem.

  Whereas the powers, targets and all the other entries of the task that is needed are the same for those who fail, that I am I missing?

  Concerning

  You can also check the Extended Properties of the vCenter target target and make sure that vSphere.PowerCLI.User and vSphere.PowerCLI.Password are set correctly.  These are separate credentials from the user Runtime as they are used when Discovery must call PowerCLI.  They usually take the form domain\username as username.  You can easily test these credentials by trying to connect to the vClient with them.  I would also check that this account has appropriate permissions, put in place in order to perform discovery, as Lee suggested.

• Orchestrator 7.01 no record with vCenter 6 u2 device

  Hi all

  I try to get Orchestrator 7.01 working with our 6 vCenter u2 aircraft. The workflow on 'Add a vCenter server instance' and 'Register vCenter Orchestrator as a vCenter Server extension' said they successfully completes. The instance of vCenter appears in Orchestrator after the workflow Add. In the web client to vCenter, I go to the House/vRealize Orchestrator and I don't see the getting started page. For some reason, I don't know, Orchestrator is not enrolls as an extension in vCenter. I checked http://vcenter/mob. Has anyone seen this / know what's the problem?

  I activated the TLS 1 unit Orchestrator to try to eliminate this as a problem.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Brian

  OK, it seems that this error occurs when you provide a wrong value for the second parameter of the workflow of entry "Insert Orchestrator as vCenter Server extension" (the setting labelled 'External to announce this Orchestrator address').

  If you provide the address in a format such as sample.domain.com or 10.20.22.23, the workflow completes successfully but extension is not registered, and the error will appear in the newspapers.

  The correct format would be something like https://sample.domain.com:8281 or https://10.20.22.23:8281 (i.e., a full URL specifying system/ip address and port).

  Another option would be to try the second empty parameter, in which case the workflow will try to record multiple URLS for each network interface on your machine to entrance on the left, but that could be problematic in some cases, especially with the IPv6 interfaces.

• Protection of vCenter

  
  Hi all

  VCenter running in a virtual machine.

  Someone can you please help me understand my own logic! ?? All this time I thought I was good take snapshots of vCenter before doing anything potentially dangerous, until it dawned on me today that if I actually lost vCenter, or it has been corrupted to a point where its inaccessbile, then how the hell I would restore the snapshot in any case I can access is more to vCenter?

  In view of this, what is the recommended method to protect vCenter, because heart rate is no longer available?

  Is my only option in such a scenario to restore from a backup, or connect to an ESXi host directly (as I will have more a vCenter), create a new virtual machine, slap an OS on it, put on my agent to backup and restore from the last FULL backup from my vCenter Server?

  As usual, thanks in advance!

  Dryv

  Dryv,

  You can still use your snapshot if you have lost your vCenter. Remember that the snapshot files will remain on your datatore.
  1. just connect to the ESXi host vCenter is on. #affinityRule
  2. turn off power the vCenter server vm if it is not off already.
  3 go back to the last snapshot.
  4. turn on the virtual machine.

  Another way and the way that I prefer is to simply clone your front the vCenter server a major change.
  Then simply bring you the clone to life if necessary.

  I hope this helps.

• Two servers vCenter and shared storage

  Hi all

  Is it possible to have two vCenter environment, vCenter 5.1 and 5.5 vCenter and each vcenter has two esxi hosts to vCenter 5.1 a 5.1 host esxi and vCenter 5.5 has esxi hosts.

  All four hosts to access the same shared storage (SAN).

  VCenter hosts different access to the shared storage will damage the virtual machines on storage?

  Thank you...

  Essentially access a data store from multiple hosts that are running different versions. However, in the case of these hosts are not managed by the same server vCenter Server, it is your responsibility to ensure that guests will not access the same VMs (records) system and maximum supported are not outdated storage vMotion tasks, for example simultaneous for a data store...

  Also don't forget that functions like the control of storage i/o may not work as expected.

• 6 - DB Upgrade vCenter

  Hi all

  Intend to upgrade the vCenter 5.5 to 6.0 in a small development environment. Customer has a SQL 2012 separate server to contain the vCenter 6 DB. Here's what I did,

  1 backup and restored the 5.5 SQL 2008 express DB on the new SQL Server vCenter complete 2012. Backup and the restore was successful.

  2. has created the x 64 DSN by using the native client 11 and tested connectivity, that works perfectly.

  3. follow-up to the KB article: VMware KB: migrating the database from the SQL Express vCenter server to full SQL Server

  4 detached and attached the DB also.

  Now, when I install the new vCenter 6.0 and connecting to the DB SQL 2012 new throws below error, don't know what it's pointing to?

  

  ---------------------------

  VMware vCenter Server

  ---------------------------

  A version 5.x of the vCenter Server database has been detected. You can only upgrade the 5.x database by upgrading the vCenter Server connected to this database.

  ---------------------------

  Ok

  Thank you

  5 has created an another VM Win2K12 R2 and tried installing vCenter 6.0 and point to the new DB, this is where the error comes like in the screenshot in the first post. System DSN is plug it in and test it properly.

  As suggested before me, you must first run the server vCenter Server, after that you have reconfigured the external database.

  What is happening right now:

  1. you run the installation program. It does not detect a vCenter Server on this virtual computer operation and it assumes you are doing a new installation.

  2. you point the DSN with 5.5 database and Setup lets you know that you cannot deploy a vCenter 6.0 with 5.5 database.

• Cannot save the vCO with vCenter WebClient

  Hi all

  I have a strange situation that I hope you can help me with.

  Basically, I am fighting to save the vCO with vCenter WebClient device, when I try to add in the web interface of vCenter, the test connection fails.

  The vCO device has been configured to use AD authentication and the vCenter plugin seems to be set up correctly. In fact, I can run all workflows from it interact successfully with the vCenter.

  I followed the troubleshooting steps in similar positions, but none of them have worked:

  Re: impossible to integrate vcenter orchestrator with WebClient

  Re: Can't save orchestrator in vsphere client of web (v5.5)

  I can see the extension of vCO through the https://vcenter1.xxxxx.com/mob . I have also not saved and put it back with the same result.

  I also tried with different versions of the device to vCO (5.0, 5.5.1 5.5.2...) but no joy with any of them.

  I want to emphasize that I used a device registered with vCenter, vCO which has been deleted. After checking the mob site, I discovered that the extension pointing to this previous vCO was still in place, so I recorded. But the issue has not been resolved.

  vCenter 5.5.0 build 1750785

  vCO 5.5.2 build 1951762

  Any other ideas?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  In order to use the vCO within customer web vSphere vCO must use SSO authentication and SSO used must match the one used by web vSphere client.

  What happens is this user log in vSphere client and web based on as user token credentials is generated.

  This token is presented to the vCO and vCO is not able to check (because in LDAP mode or using different SSO server or...) vCO rejects the request.
