migration of old an own vcenter vcenter ESX Server new database

I built a new facility for vCenter update 2.5 4 using all the practices of better news. I want to migrate my workloads to a former prod vCenter 2.5 update 3. I don't want to use the database information... I'm at nine.

I have install all the cluseters and permissions in vCenter update 4. What is the best way to move workloads is the question.

can I remove the 2.5 ESX Server 3 cluster and add to the new 2.5 update 4?

or

I have to ESX server 2.5 vcenter update maintenance mode 3, remove cluseter, vmotion manually some of the workload, then remove the old vcenter and add in new vcenter?

Ideas or suggestions appreciated and bridges will be awarded!

Right-click on one or several hosts, choose Disconnect and then delete.  Once removed from the earlier proceeding, click Add hosts to the new instance.

Your VM will continue to operate.

  • 4.1 ESX Server thinks it is managed by VCenter, but is not

    An ESX 4.1.0 server (Standard edition) think it is managed by our server to VC, but it isn't.

    When connecting to the server with an ESX VSphere Client, I am greeted with the message:

    "This host is currently managed by the VCenter server... IP address.  It is not the case.

    I believe that the problem started in trying to add this ESX server 4.1.0 to our server VCenter 4.0.0

    This isn't a combination of supported, but the operation seems to have left the ESX with the VCenter Server Agent installed and configured server.

    I guess I'll upgrade our server VCenter 4.1 at a given time, but how to remove or correct the VC Server Agent on the host computer in the meantime?

    I see this suggestion: http://http://communities.vmware.com/message/707920#707920

    and cannot find this directory on the server VCenter, but what script to use is not clear.

  • Is it possible to migrate a virtual machine between vcenter servers programmatically?

    Hi all

    My question is quite simple:

    -Is it possible to migrate a virtual machine between vcenter servers programmatically?

    Let's say we have two data centers:

    vcenter1

    -vm1

    -vm2

    vcenter2

    -vm3

    Is it possible to migrate vms between vcenter2 and vcenter1 programmatically? (or vice versa)?

    Also, I'm assuming that the appropriate VLAN and data warehouses across the different vcenters!

    Thank you

    Luis

    It is not possible, vMotion or migration live is in an instance of vCenter, it cannot be covered through two even if you have the data store accessible both vCenters and sets of the host. At best, you can unregister the virtual machine of vCenter 1 host and re-save as on vCenter 2 host, but once again, it is while the virtual machine is turned off.

  • Difference between vCenter server and ESX server

    Hello

    I'm new to the development of VMware. Can you please explain me how ESX server differs from the VirtualCenter Server?

    According to my knowledge, ESX server is the one on which the real images are created and deployed while VirtualCenter manages ESX (one at a time) servers. ability to manage multiple ESX servers, both 'vSphere' a.

    My understanding is correct. Kindly answer my question.

    ESX (later - ESX4) is a system of bare metal operating that you can install directly on your physical hardware. This is the hypervisor layer that helps you to run multiple virtual machines on a single piece of material. The heart of ESX is the VMkernel which does all the magic (resouce management VM.. .and much). Talk about vCenter (previously Center Virtual Server) is a management application that you can install on a separate physical computer (you can even have a virtual vCenter). Once your vCenter is allowed, you can begin to manage the ESX servers.

    There are two ways to manage ESX. One is that you can directly connect to your ESX Server with root password and manage it. Otherwise, connect the server vCenter, add the ESX Server so that your vCenter it manages.

    vCenter resembles a management station from which you can manage your multiple ESX servers.

  • ESX Server does not respond in VCenter

    Hello everyone, I am looking for some help with a problem I have right now.  I was able to find a similar thread, but it was not resolved, so here are my symptoms.

    I have a 3.5 running ESX Server.  In VCenter, the system shows callous and all of the associated virtual machines are disconnected.  However, ESX server and virtual machines are running correctly.  If I try to use the VI Client to connect directly to the ESX box, you receive an error "server has taken too much time to react."  Interface Web doesn't either.  However, the SSL connection via port 22 works fine and I am able to work with the system.  I had this problem before and a reboot of the server ESX solved the problem, but which forced me to all virtual machines down and then reboot ESX.  The ESX box shows no errors when I have ILO on the console.

    Can anyone give me any help is appreciated.

    Have you tried to restart the management agent with

    [for service mgmt-vmware restart

    on the console?

    Kind regards

  • VMware ESX Server 2.5.0 build-11548 - licenses can be centralized in vCenter 2.0.2?

    VMware ESX Server, version 2.5.0 build-11548

    VC V. 2.0.2 Build 50618

    My current mission is with some legacy equipment and versions.

    When I add an esx host to vCenter (see versions above) - I don't get any options to add the 'module' of license to vCenter. The 3.0.2 host works well with a license from the local host and Add-ons vcenter. Version 2.5.0 host has a configured host license. I figured I could use a license for the host of the server and add vMotion, HA, DRS & as Add-ons of vCenter. Selecting the host 2.5 licenses tab is not activate 'configuration of the host' link or it lists license config below.

    Also, if I should not just use vCenter 2.0.2 for esx 2.5.x guests... please chime in with the grounds.

    Can the server vCenter 2.0.2 licenses treat the add-on (vMotion, HA, DRS) licenses for a range of esx 2.5.x with a local host (Server/SMP) license (s) OR even just centralized? It does for 3.0.2 without effort.

    No - vmotion, HA and DRS is not possible with ESX 2.5 - even if it was possible to use the license server centralized with VC 2.0.x these features of VI - 3 can have be used with older versions of ESX.

    If this is not the case, can I change esx 2.5.x to open ports or to start a service allowing the centralized license mgmt?

    The only way to manage centrally ESX 2.5 license is with VC - 1, x -.

  • vCenter ESX closing on power-UPS

    All,

    I have vCenter (2.5) on XP and close to the ESX (3.5) machines. These three hosts are in a small locker. I have connected to the box XP vCenter aUPS. How can I have the box vCenter ESX machines to say stop when vCenter box detects a power failure? So if the failure and the UPS signals that a threshold has been passed, which will trigger the XP box at the stop. Before that happens, I want to stop, the other two ESX machines. I can this script in a certain way, or there at - it a plugin of vCenter that I can use.

    All guess, thought or insight is appreciated.

    There was a thread on this just now... can't find it right now, but in my opinion, an individual CPA says their product would soon be compatible with controlled stop.

    Apparently, it is now; http://www.APC.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=SEPCNSV

    However, you specify which provider supplies your UPS.  If they have no support in their product management, I suggest using a script from the VI Toolkit to discover fully optimized on VMs and issue a stop command.

    Kind regards

  • Maintenance of two without VCenter ESX servers in a SAN environment

    Hello

    We are now second ESX 3.5 server to go along with good results that we have obtained from the first server.

    Our current server is deployed on a San EVA 4000 and the new server will be deployed in the same storage.

    I was wondering if it is safe and of good practice for storage of data even for both ESX servers, even if we don't have a Virtual Center.

    The ESX serve standalone, but if something happens to the other server I could simply import the files to another ESX.

    The idea is to have another ESX for development and one for the production server. Production ESX should suffer failure, I might just be able to down development machines and put online the production machines.

    I know that this must be done with HA and VMotion. But since I'm not licensed Enterprice, I can't do that.

    So, basically, the question was I should introduce vdisk to two ESX without Virtual Center?

    This will work, but keep in mind if the production machine dies for some reason, the VMDK files may not be in a consistent format to be installed on the development computer.

  • Migrate from olde sync to new

    I've upgraded to the new Firefox Sync today. But I can no longer use my old Sync and seems to have no way to migrate my olde sync data to my new. Can you please implement a new function to allow migrate data synchronization olde again?

    Try Palemoon browser it is same as Firefox but 64-bit and with search engine Duckandgo. Another difficulty which may require older Firefox is to copy and paste the json from your bookmark backups. Firefox keeps a backup copy of your bookmarks on your PC.
    Or you can simply navigate to the json file you need (they are marked with the date of backup) and restore. Here is the link for the instructions to restore. Note: you can use these instructions to migrate your office to Palemoon too.
