Migration to new domain ESX environment

• Migration to new server vCenter ESX continuously.

  What would be the recommended steps to migrate seamlessly from one ESX host to a new vCenter Server?  I succumbed to find any documentation on this.  For some reason any I think remember me that with a previous version of Virtual Center (1.x and 2.x) that the host had to be in maintenance mode before it could be removed from the management server.

  I need to move the ESX 3.5 and 4.0 hosts to a new management 4.0.1 vCenter server.

  You can simply disconnect and remove the host.  Then add the host in the new environment. This will affect any of your guests running. If your VI3 hosts, make sure that you have the available license server.

• Intermittent connection problems migrate SIDHistory and new domain

  Hi all

  Wondering if anyone ahs met it. We have migrated the users and workstations of an old domain (domain A) and included their old sid in the SID History attribute for access to resources. We have also double ACL'd users and groups into action (just in case SID History has failed).

  Once done with the migration, we have added a GPO security policy in the new domain (domain B) to deny local logon to the Domain (domain A) domain users group old. That would give us enough time to finish with server migration while ensuring that users do not connect you with their old domain credentials.

  What's happening at random, from time to time is that a user in the new domain will receive a logon denied error. The error indicates "you cannot connect because the method of login, you use is not allowed on this computer. For more information, contact your network administrator.

  The only reason why I think that the new users in the domain are denied would be SID History, but am not sure. Anyone know why this is happening?

• Require a process step by step for the migration of virtual machines to new VMware ESX hypervisor

  Hello

  I'm looking for the method step by step for the migration of virtual machines to new host ESX Migration both cold and hot.

  Scenario - I have two data centers running ESX host stand-alone (with VM) in Europe. I need to build the new ESX host in new Dataceter to Singapore.

  Need prerequisites, the methods available for migrate VMWARE virtual has new host ESX (in the new data center) with minimum downtime.

  It will be great if you can enumerate the markets or redirect me to documentation that I can use to create detailed steps as the target host compatibility check on VMs and so on.

  Please advice

  The steps are correct. The virtual machine must be turned off (step 3).

• FQDNs for ESX environment when DNS servers are VMS within the ESX environment

  Hello

  I was wondering,

  When the implementation of a new infrastructure from scratch, with an ESX cluster from scratch

  and when the servers DNS themselves will run inside the cluster,

  Then, it is advisable to use IP addresses instead of the domain name COMPLETE for the right ESX environment?

  Here's what I've done so far:

  -installed 1 ESX host

  -installed donain controller as VM

  -installed PSC and VCSA

  -created the new cluster

  -installed the second ESX host, added to the cluster.

  I installed a VM DC as the first thing after the installation of the initial ESX host, I could have started using the domain name COMPLETE for the ESX environment at this time.

  However, I didn't do it.

  For installation of the VCSA and when you add ESX hosts to the cluster, I used IP addresses instead of the FQDN names.

  It seems stupid and dangerous for me to use domain COMPLETE the ESX hosts themselves, because the domain controller is running in the cluster.

  So I used IP addresses only to ensure the ESX HA cluster and the characteristics of heartbeat stay ok if something were to happen to the DNS server.

  However, the VCSA installation and when you add hosts to the cluster,.

  the MISTLETOE gave me a warning, indicating that it is preferable to provide a FULL domain instead of an IP address name.

  I am of the opinion that if you have no physical DNS servers, it is not a good idea.

  My opinion is that when your nameservers inside the ESX cluster itself and you do not have 2 redundant external DNS servers, so it is not wise to use the FQDN for your ESX hosts, PSC and VCSA setup.

  In my view, using the property intellectual property is much safer in this case.

  I was wondering what is your angle on it.

  Do you see the same way, or have different opinions?

  Hi smetter,.

  It is advisable to have a working DNS for vSphere environment however the use of DNS for things like vSphere HA have been removed in more recent versions of the product. Refer to the section of the guidelines of the general network of this document for more details: https://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/vmw-vsphere-high-availability.pdf

  With this in mind I wouldn't be worried about use of FULL domain for the addition of services like the ESX host, etc.. Failure where HA would be restarting the virtual computer, there is no dependency on DNS so it will continue to work as expected and, subject to the availability of resources the virtual machine starts on another host.

  According to your vSphere licenses, you may also like to consider the implementation of anti-affinity DRS VM to keep your DNS Appart servers and on different hosts. This can prevent your servers DNS are declining when the failure of a host. You must have Enterprise edition or later for this.

  Kind regards.

• View horizon new domain

  Hello world

  Necessary for the migration view with linkedclone and persistent disks to the new AD domain

  is it posible?

  If I add View server to the new domain

  then create the new vm pool

  and persistent disks attached to vm

  How do you think, is working?

  I believe that you plan to move Vcenter as well to another domain or you have already done this.

  Moving Linked clones to different domain, you can try this new can not guarantee 100% success please try in a Test environment

  (1) create only two way trust between the existing and new field

  (2) installation connection to the server in the new domain as a replica to the existing domain

  (3) try to build machines in the new domain

  (4) fix the persistent drive for new machines or recreate work stations

  (5) disable or decommissioning the old server http://kb connection. VMware.com/kb/1010153

  I hope that this must be it.

• migration of VM to ESX 2.5.1 to ESX 4.1

  We have a few virtual machines in an ESX 2.5.1 13057 box with local storage. It is managed using VC 2.5

  Now, we have installed a new server ESX 4.1 with local storage and it is managed using VC 4.1

  We want to migrate virtual machines on ESX 2.5.1 to ESX 4.1

  I tried to copy the hard file and the creation of a new virtual machine on ESX 4.1 using this hard. But it does not detect this as compatible vmdk file.

  There is another idea for this migration? We are not able to upgrade to a higher version 2.5.1.

  Thanks in advance

  Kind regards

  Thanks for the direction. However in my case the coverter is not able to connect to the ESX 205.1 as a source (it is said the ESX is 2.5.x and it is not supported)

  You don't need to connect to the ESX 2.05 to convert

  RDP to VM, stand-alone Converter on the virtual machine, you want to convert, stop all required services and run convert, and then tap new ESX 4.x server.

  The operating system does not care what hardware platform it runs, it will convert only

  Have you tried the standalone converter with the running virtual machine?

• Install a new domain on a VM server controller in our Active Directory

  Hello world

  Thank you for your help in advance.

  I would like to put a (with Windows 2003) domain controller in a Windows 2008 box and add the domain controller for the existing Active Directory network. My manager approves it and it will be my advised to work more VMWare work officially.

  Here are some questions that I have and hope you can help answer:

  1.) there will be problems to run a domain controller in a virtual machine environment?

  2.) on the RODC (VM), I can install all services such as DHCP, DNS, WINS? And they will work only with no problem?

  3.) on Windows 2008 Server, which I will install VM Server, that server must be a domain member server?

  (4.) what the backup on the new domain controller? Can I just save the virtual machine files in the folder of BackupExec? Or free tools, I can try?

  5.) I don't think the org will put money on the implementation of a san or vmware structures... According to what I have, have you any tips on this project? Is it a good idea to run the domain controller in the VM environment?

  I thank very you much for your help once again!

  Thank you very much for your info! # 1, you mentioned there are a few things must be aware, can I ask that those who are?

  A few I can think of are:

  (1) supported by Microsoft - backup methods if you want MS support for a problem with the AD, make sure that you use the supported backup methods.

  (2) the time sync - more important still, how you intend to do.  VMware Tools or native Windows utilities.  Discover 1318 KB for more information.

  (3) the safety of encapsulated all the vm files - that is why I recommended given the host on the domain.  It would be more likely to pick up updates of patches, GPO, AV, etc. like this.  Your virtual DC is now portable, and this represents a new security challenge.

  (4) how to avoid snapshots on DCs - what can cause a USN restorations, unsupported directories and General nastiness that should be avoided.

  (5) avoiding the DCs P2V conversions - what is generally not recommended. Their new construction.

  (6) given the requirements of performance - make sure that your host can follow or actually providing the resources to the virtual machine.  You do not want your DC is slow for some reason any.

  There are probably others I'm here leaving as well.  This is why I think that domain controllers does not necessarily make the best pieces for virtualization.  If you take a print server, you will see most of the above concerns disappear.  It can be done with the DC first, but it'll just be a steep learning curve.
