• Activate the VCA Mode of VMware vCenter Server Appliance

  Hello

  I'm pretty new on vSphere.  I have two hosts running esxi 5.1 what one of these hosts running the "VMware vCenter Server Appliance' with vSphere version 5.5.  I currently have a single cluster containing all the VMS as well hosts and the SAN.

  I try to activate the EVC mode, but when I try it tells me that the host is not allowed because there are powered on virtual machines.  I can turn off all the virtual machines except the vCenter device and I still get the problem on the host that has the device on it.  If I turn off the unit, I can't use vSphere to activate CVS.

  How can I activate CVS when vSphere does not work?

  Thank you

  Jeff

  Hi Welcome to the communities,

  This one is a bit complicated

  You have:

  1. turn off all VMs on Host1 (while vCenter device is on Host2)

  2 bring Host1 on Cluster, select CVS clustered.

  3. put all the virtual machines on Host2 (also vCenter device)

  4. connect on Host2 directly to vSphere Client Windows

  5. remove the vCenter inventory unit

  6. connect on Host1 directly to vSphere Client Windows

  7. the data store when the appliance and add it to the inventory of research. Power on

  8. connect the device with Web client or vSphere vCenter

  9. move the second host in the cluster

  And you're done

• Can of POS used with Vmware vCenter Server 5 Standard license

  Hello team,

  Accroding to http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2016565

  WTP is supplied with vSphere Essentials more and more.

  I searched but did not meet solid information where he explains when licensed some don't need us to buy additional licenses for new features / applications, etc.
  I'm new to Vmware licenses hierarchy. We have Vmware vCenter Server Standard 5 license.
  Please point me to a URL that contains the hierarchy of Vmware licenses .

  Thank you much in advance.
  Niraj

  You can use vCenter Server Standard 5 licenses for POS. Everything we have features such as (profile of HA, DRS, FT, VDP, host, DVS etc.) you don't need to worry about the virtual server license Center. You must use the correct license vsphere host. But don't forget to think about some virtual server edition Center can handle some vsphere hosts.

  vCenter server 5 Essentials can manage only vSphere Essentials Plus or vSphere Essentials.

  vCenter Server Standard 5 licensecan eat only vSphere vSphere Enterprise and vSphere companies plus standards.

  You can activate the functionality of POS with vSphere Essentials Plus then you will need to use vCenter server 5 Essentials.If you use vCenter server standard for vSphere Essentials Plus so it give error or warning for violation of editing.

  Thank you

• VMware vCenter Server 4

  Hey guys I'm new to VMware. Im trying to VMware vSphere 4.0 evaluation for 60 days, so I downloaded the modules and VMware vCenter Server 4

  on a DVD. When I tried to install the Vcenter on my desktop it doesn't let me. Can anyone please help me out and tell me what im doing wrong?

  now, if I download the trial version of VMware Workstation, I have to buy Windows XP operating system?

  You can download the VM WS 7.0 (30 days free).

  You can also download Windows Server 2008 (180 days free).

  It seems to me so you can try it for 30 days at least without having to buy anything.

• VMware vcenter server woes

  Hey guys,.

  I just installed vcenter server to centralize control of my various installations of vmware server. I have essentially 4 machines I want to follow - 3 all running the same debian installation and last version of vmware server (free). the 4th is a windows 2003 machine that runs the latest vmware server too.

  I installed vmware infrastructure without problem, no error. iStart it upward, add a data center. add my first host - a linux host. works very well. I add a second host - another host.as of linux, I am setting up I get the summary of correct host and it lists even the virtual machines that are on the machine. It ends, says being synchronized to the top and then I get the dreaded "host type is not supported, or added to a cluster, but does not support the features of clusters.

  strange. am I adding as a cluster? I don't think so... I add windows machine and he adds without any problem. a linux server that I managed to add shows no information to the title of memory/CPU usage of the virtual machines, it is all 0. therefore graphics of performance - no graphics.

  what the hell is happening?

  No, VMware Server 2 can be managed by VMware vCenter Server 2.5.  There is no option of centralized management (stream) for VMware

  Server 2.

  You do the impossible or maybe have found a hdden feature-

• VMware vCenter Server service stops or restarts at the start of data collection

  VMware vCenter Server service stops or restarts at the start of data collection

  I am using vCenter Server 5.0

  Whenever I have begin to collect data, vcenter service stops or restarts, if I stop data collection and to disable the agent, vcenter service again and works well.

  Please any help!

  Thanks in advance

  It is a known issue, relating to the collection of historical data being enabled (nonzero) in the properties of the VMWare Agent on the Agent status screen.

  Change to 0 to disable/re-enable the agent and it should fix the problem.

  Please open a ticket of level 1 with telephone support if you need more help.

• Do need me a separate license for VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat for a remote SQL Server database?

  Do need me a separate license for VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat for a remote SQL Server database?

  Only a single vCenter Server Heartbeat license is necessary to protect the components of the vCenter Server installed remotely, including SQL Server. A single license is also used for several UNIQUE for vCenter Server services protected authentication servers. A license is required per instance of vCenter Server.

• How does VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat communicate?

  How does VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat communicate?

  VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat supports configurations of single NIC or multi.

  Public IP address: this IP address is used by a client to connect to an Active Server, and move between the secondary and primary servers in the case of a failover or a passage.

  IP address of the channel: this is for communication between active and passive servers. This is used for the transfer of control and an asset to the passive server data and monitoring the State of an Active Server.

  In a LARGE network, static routes are used on switches to maintain ongoing communication.

  Management IP address: this address is used to access servers in a passive role. In a multi NETWORK card configuration, a NIC will have IP addresses public and management, and an another aura NIC IP address of channel. In a single NETWORK adapter configuration, all IP addresses are on the same network adapter.

• I did a stupid thing: I suspended "vmware vCenter Server Appliance" and now I can't connect to it more

  Hello

  First some info on our system. We have a group of three hypervisors and a few terabytes of storage on two devices of Synology. VCenter Server allows us to control everything. This vCenter is accessible via a dedicated ip address. Then I opened my 5.5 vSphere client on my workstation, check the name and credentials of the vCenter and hup I can admin everything.

  Now, what I did with my sleepy head? I suspended the so-called "unit of vmware vcenter server. And my vsphere client lost my connection with the server vCenter Server immediately.

  I can't ping this address ip-plus.

  I'm afraid that ssh is disabled.

  Installed on virtual machines seemed well-oiled, I can access it by using RDP. So no worries for employees using them.

  So I would like to be able to restart this device "vmware vcenter server" but I don't know how to do it.

  All useful ideas would be nice.

  And Yes, it's a really stupid mistake.

  Thank you

  Paul

  Point your client vSphere host your vCenter ON VM's.  You can then start the VM vCenter.

• VMware vCenter Server Appliance 5.1 is not Autostart cluster

  Problem:

  After a VMware vCenter Server Appliance failure does not start automatecly.

  I have configured to start automatecly to each host, but it does not start automatecly.

  My configuration:

  Shared infrastructure-plate-forme PowerEdge VRTX with 3 servers running

  -3 x VMware ESXi 5.1.0 (799733)

  -1 x VMware vCenter Server Appliance 5.1

  -Servers run as a cluster with HA.

  Unfortunately Autostart VM is not supported in a Cluster, and so the settings are ignored. VM in clusters must be turned on manually (or using a script,...).

• VMWare vCenter Server Appliance / 2012R2 Windows domain

  Hi all
  I've recently updated my domaincontrollers to R2 2012 WIndows, and I installed vCenter on a vm through the ovf appliance. After you have configured the vCenter in the web gui, I can join the domain successfully and the virtual center appears in the field. After a restart of the virtualcenter, I'm not able to find the field in the client to vcenter under permissions. (version vCenter: VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-5.5.0.5101-1398493)

  Someone at - it a tip on how to fix this?

  You must login to webclient using [email protected] and navigate to the SSO configuration. Select your ad that you added and make this default domain. This makes the announcement should appear in the menu drop-down.
