New server vCenter4

We currently have VirtualCenter2.5 on a physical server.   We will begin our upgrade to vSphere4.  The first step is to upgrade or install vCenter4.   However, our servers are all on the lease and the VirtualCenter server is off lease.  We receive a new server and I decided well enough just to install a new copy of vCenter on that instead you re-create the server VirtualCenter2.5 and upgrade.

Let's save our VirtualCenter database as well as the license server file.

Because we have the VirtualCenter2.5 server and our server replacement for a few days, my thought is to install vCenter on the new server, attach the file to the database and the license server.  Then, I think I need to recreate my environment again on the vCenter server to include presenting CF LUN again.  is that correct?  Or is there a better way to do it?

you won't lose any of your features.  Don't forget the features are based on licenses.  I guess that you only had / have business license with VI3, licensing will be the same in vSphere4.

With regard to your DBA, tell them just to make a backup of the complete BD and you will call them, if you need their help

P.S. see this snipit of vSphere Upgrade Guide

On the upgrade database Wizard

The upgrade database Wizard updates the schema of the VirtualCenter database. The upgrade of database

run the Wizard after completing installation of vCenter Server Wizard.

When you perform an upgrade to vCenter Server, you must use a VirtualCenter 2.x database that is supported

upgrade by vCenter Server 4.0.

The upgrade database wizard runs once you click on install in the setup of the vCenter server. The database

Assistant upgrade upgrades the database schema to make it compatible with vCenter Server 4.0. The schema

defines the tables, the fields in each table, and the relationships between the tables and fields.

If you upgrade VirtualCenter 2.5, the database upgrade wizard runs in the background. If you are

upgrading from VirtualCenter 2.0.x the upgrade database wizard appears, and you must complete the wizard.

The upgrade database Wizard does not level a version not supported in database (for example, Oracle 9i)

in a database that is taken in charge.

  • Migrate to new server hides

    I've been running server on an old computer and now I am a new and have completed the introduction.

    I have many apps and installed OS cached on the old server, how can I migrate the cache on the new server?

    10.11.5 with 5.1.5 Server

    Two ways.

    1. If the new server can peer with the former, just run two servers for a while.  A new shoot gradually data it needs from the old when clients request it.  This method is best if the new server has already given cached which is not the old one.

    2. for a more immediate clone, stop two development servers cache, run this command in a Terminal on the new server, and then resume the new update server caching.  Replace the admin user with the name of an administrator account on the old server and old-server with the name or the IP address of the old server.

    $ sudo rsync - a - delete admin user@old-server: / library/server/cache/Data / / Library/Server/cache/Data /.

    The sudo and the rear bars (after data) are important.  This command replaces the new cache server with the content of the old cache, assuming that the two of them store their caches in the default location on the boot drive.  If we use a different location, change the command accordingly.  Be sure to copy only the data directory and not all of the caching folder.

  • I have a new server and you cannot use Remote Desktop connection.

    I HAVE A NEW SERVER (HP ML110 G6) AND HAVE USED OLD HARD DISKS, BUT MY REMOTE DESKTOP CONNECTION WILL NOT ME OR OTHERS - WHAT COULD THE REASON BE?

    Hello

    I suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps.

     The problem can also be caused by your security such as anti-virus program or a firewall of Windows /Defender that can have conflicting parameters as to not not to perform certain tasks. I suggest you temporary disable antivirus and firewall and check the result again. You must activate new security that you was disabled programs.
    Disable the antivirus software:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    May also need to do this on other computers as well.

    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Connect a new server in SAN

    Hello

    We have a PS4100x. It has 8 TB divided in 3 volumes and already accessible by 4 servers in a Hyper-v cluster.

    I want to add a 5th Server & allow it to access the storage. Is there step by step instructions around on how to add a new server & allow access to SAN devices.

    What I had in mind to do was following him.

    1 configuration ISci on server

    2. Add the Server manage Isci for each volume by using Group.

    3 mount the volumes on the server?

    Now it seems just too simple & miss me some very important steps.  (I know there are other steps to add it to the hyper-v Cluster, it's just to allow the server access to San).

    TIA

    Hello

    With respect to the iSCSI connection, you have correctly.   The concern when adding a new Member to a cluster is relative to the creation of the cluster.

    Precautionary measure good safetly, creates a snapshot on the volumes before you add the new Member.

    Kind regards

  • New Server virtual machines

    I'm building a new server for virtual computers, and I want to keep all databases. I think it's easy the database restores on the new server, but my problem seems to be with the leader of the CSA. Anyone has any ideas on this or I will just have to reinstall the agents?

    Until the new server has the same name of netbios and the IP address as one, then your CSA agents must connect fine.

  • Extend the current TMS Cluster with two new server

    Hello

    We currently have a cluster of two TMS-Server (13.2.1) installed on a W2K3 Server with a database on a SQL-Server separat

    To have a smooth migration, we thought the following procedure.

    Addition of two new server with W2K8 R2 by installing a TMS 13.2.1 to the cluster with access to the same database.

    After a while remove the two old server and upgrade to TMS14 (updated TMSPE in advance).

    Unfortunately, we get the message, as seen in the PNG-attachment during the installation of the first server in new.

    Anyone know if we could proceed as described above?

    Is the message because of the different operating system. If I click on 'Yes' former TMS-server still works?

    Thank you

    Concerning

    Ingo

    Hello

    The error message is misleading and can be safely ignored, and you can continue with the installation of the new TMS nodes. It was deleted in 14.0 TMS, see bug CSCui34702.

  • TMS Migration to new server

    I'm moving our TMS existing 13.2.2 to a new server. One of the first steps is to copy the TMS encryption key. The instructions for doing this are: TMS Tools/Security Settings/encryption code. My problem is that when I open the TMS tools I don't have an option to select security settings. Is this something that is not available in article 13.2.2. If so, how do I find my current 13.2.2 encryption key

    I intend to upgrade to 14.X once the TMS existing 13.2.2 is moved.

    Looking through the TMS 13.2.2 Release Notes, the bottom of pg 3, they removed the option key encryption tools TMS.  Looking at the details of the CSCua72784bug, it is said:

    Encryption keys are not used by Cisco TMS until version 14. The option has no effect in 13.2.x and can be ignored.

    So that you can likely TMS 14.x upgrade and then go through the process of encryption key during the installation.

  • Move to a new server of RMAN catalog

    Source server: RMAN v. 10.2.0.1.0, 6 databases saved with RMAN

    I would switch to the new server RMAN, v. 11.2.0.1.1. (target)

    Due to differences in version, the import of catalogue from source to target is not an option.

    Is it possible to do the following.  Unregister database of source database.  Save the rman target database break and then save the existing backup with the new catalog server?

    Yes, it is possible.  The backup and recovery of the User Guide addresses these cancellation of registration and registration.  When you save the database with the new catalogue, records backup control file will be synchronized with the catalog.

  • HR Editions on new server

    Hello

    We have two HR projects that we are currently testing to publish to a new server.  Each project has a different IP address.

    A project is published successfully but the other is not.

    I tried to publish the project that works for the two IP addresses and they were both successful.

    I'm confused regarding what could be wrong with a project is not published.  Is there any suggestions I can try to get a project to publish?

    Hi, you sneaked in an important piece of info - WebHelp Pro . Using RoboHelp Server 9? (Besides, what version of HR client you use.)

    As you may know, WebHelp is for the publication of "regular" servers WebHelp Pro requires and assumes that you are publishing to a web server with Adobe RoboHelp Server installed.

    So, if you use indeed HR server, then go to properties of Windows of the pod output configuration and create a new window for WebHelp Pro. Give it a name such as "RhServer".

    Then when you publish the server HR, make sure to select RhServer in the window by default.

    So you want to create a new destination in the wizard for WebHelp Pro edition. Enter the credentials for your new server and see if that helps.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Thank you
