Move from vCenter physical VM?

Hi all

Currently have vCenter running in a virtual machine, but I would like to move to an existing physical host.

Is this possible?

Otherwise, it is also possible to have a different vCenter server so that if something happens to my VM version, I have vCenter install running on a physical host as well?

Thank you

Andy

Take a look at this - kb.vmware.com/kb/5850444.

If you are not running vCenter 4.1 do not forget that there is a 64 bit OS.

You can also use HA in order to protect a vCenter VM or the fault tolerance, if you are fired for this.

  • Great migrations: move from vCenter 5.1 on Windows 2008R2/SQL 2008 5.1 or 5.5 on 2012 2012 Windows/SQL

    In anticipation of the end of mainstream support for Windows Server 2008 R2, I want to migrate an installation vCenter to a whole new server and MS SQL Server.

    It is a virtual machine running in my host cluster. There Server vCenter Update Manager, Converter Standalone and some services not VMware that I can handle it myself. ADAM is installed as part of the vCenter Server requirements, and it is also attached to an AD domain where I use AD, single sign - on.

    The host cluster is four 5.1 ESXi hosts that are up to date, and helped HA and DRS. They use also switches distributed to all of their network connectivity, including vMotion, management, fault tolerance (although I do not use FT) and virtual machines.

    I did upgrades on-site to vCenter before and I replaced SQL Express with SQL Standard on the same server, but I did not move before vCenter. I'd make some drastic measures, as I understand:

    * Complete backups (of course) of SQL in the server itself, ADAM

    Installation of a new server operating system and SQL 2012

    Withdrawal of databases and reinstall them on the new server

    * Restoration of ADAM on the new server

    Installation vCenter, Update Manager, etc.

    * Hoping the host cluster is mounted on the new server, and nothing breaks

    I'm not all that worried about maintaining statistics, so maybe it is possible to install a new server vCenter Server and simply move the host cluster from the old server to the new. I moved one vCenter to another host, but that was before I put in place of distributed switching.

    I found this on a related post:

    Migration in a new vCenter VMware environment. IT diversifies

    This manual seems to echo what I've read so far, I had to disassemble the distributed switches until I can migrate any host to a new server vCenter. Yuck. Well, I've migrated from the standard to the switches distributed without downtime before, so I can do the opposite.

  • Migrate CUCM, CUP and CUC VMS from the physical server Dell to a UCS

    Hi all

    We have 3 virtual machines from one physical server to Dell, we want to migrate those virtual machines from a server of the UCS.

    Reference Dell physical server:

    Model: PowerEdge M610

    UCS: Version of UCS B200 M4 3.0 (2 c)

    I was wondering if just copy all the files of the virtual machine to another server or there is another procedure to do this... and also we need new licenses of vmware?

    Thank you very much!!

    Kind regards!

    ESXi licenses is up to you, you might have bought it so that the UCS, or buy directly from VMWare, but you need to license.

    As for traffic, if you have vCenter, you can move the virtual machines using it (vMotion and/or Storage vMotion), or if not, you can perform a cold migration.

  • Move the vCenter to another cluster... How?

    We rotate the camera 5.5.0 vcenter and need to move from a cluster with ESX 4.1.0 hosts in a cluster hosts ESXi 5.5.0.  Two clusters are in the same data center, but no space for common storage.

    We have migrated all the old cluster to the new VM using vMotion.  It is now time for the vCenter himself.

    How should I go about this?  Some downtime for vCenter is probably inevitable.

    Thank you... Lyle

    With the help of Support, here's what I did:

    -a clone of the vCenter VM for the cluster target & storage, but do not start the new virtual machine

    -change the properties for the new virtual machine so its MAC address is the same as the old VM

    -stop vCenter with its interface web admin

    -with vSphere client connected to the source host, stop the guest OS (suse) of the former VM

    -with customer vSpere connected to the destination host, turning on the new virtual machine

    Thanks to all for the comments... Lyle

  • Best method to move the VCenter server on new server

    I need to move my VCenter server to a new machine.

    The computer name and the IP address will be different from the original.

    1 should I use the existing database or there will be too many references to the old server vCenter Server?

    2. should I start from scratch on a new server and import my 5 ESX servers?  (Story not so important for me)

    If I start, unplug the old and add it again or just to add again and it will automatically remove the old?

    Best methods out there?  A document any?

    Thanks for any help in advance

    Can I rent a movie from iTunes and then see it on the plane?

    In principle Yes. See about renting movies from the iTunes Store - Apple Support. Pay attention to this section:

    To watch your movie when you are disconnected, as on a flight from the airline where there is a Wi - Fi connection:

    • Download the whole movie before going offline.
    • Press play to start watching. The 24 hour timer starts even if you are offline.

    You may want to download rented movies before the day of your trip to make sure you have the time to download all the content.

  • How to remove movies from the summary page

    With the help of iTunes version 12.4.  Can anyone help in my attempts to remove movies at home summary page in iTunes?  I was able to remove movies from my iPhone and iPad and unchecked on the summary in the movies tab page.  However, films controlled and deleted still appear in the section summary of movies.  Cannot find a delete any action to remove unwanted movies.  This has to do with the deletion in iTunes itself on a Windows version 10.

    Steve

    FOUND THE ANSWER!  From a previous post-, I had the same problem. You cannot remove them from the summary page. Cannot you.

    In the app iTunes on Mac or PC, without your phone, from the drop-down menu at the top left - select movies and then click on, select, Home Videos. In the next screen, select the home theater and right click. This will allow you to remove. Once you reconnect your phone and sync, the cinema will be gone from your Summary Page!

  • Remove movies from the hard drive on Macbook Air 2015

    Hello!

    I have several movies I have on my iTunes account.

    So I don't think that they would be automatically downloaded on my hard drive. I just thought that it would be similar to the Iphone you might access via WIFI but not necessarily have downloaded to your device. I'm looking for how to remove movies from your mac on other forms. None of them have asked me.

    Go to iTunes movie right click and delete it. empty the trash, restart the computer. Well by clicking on remove fair skins film of your iTunes purchases and don't take them to the reader. I still only 40 GB to 128 GB storage after the 'removal' of movies.

    They suggested also go to the finder and on the left side of the screen would be a zone of movies. No, it isn't. There's nothing to the media either.

    I'm lost and completely new for the Mac.

    Help...

    Shauna

    The movies have been downloaded via iTunes? Have you looked in the folder/Home/movies/on your computer? You can also check the folder/Home/music/and the other files in this folder to find the files downloaded.

    If you can find the films listed in iTunes, then select them and CTRL - or RIGHT click to select Remove from the context menu. We should ask if you want to move to the trash. Click on this option.

  • Hi, my screen flashes during playback of movies from Netflix

    Hi, my screen flashes during playback of movies from Netflix. It happens with other applications or when I play DVD. It begins in about 5 seconds in movies and it happens about every 4-5 seconds. The screen turns white for about a second, then it shows some horizontal lines, and it goes back to normal. And after a few seconds, he begins anew. I also noticed it always happen when I move my mouse during playback of a movie at Netflix.

    My PC is HP Pavilion 17 inch. I3 Haswel processor and Intel graphics card built-in. 8.1 to win

    I've updated all the drivers, but nothing helped.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Figured out. Change refresh rate of 60 Hz 40 Hz p p and it solved the problem.
