• HP ML115G1 and vCenter Server installation

  Hi all

  Please go easy on me because it's my first time with VMware

  I have a ML115G1 with 5 GB RAM and 120GB HD, installed ESXi 4.1 and have a VM of Windows 2008 Server SP2 running no problem, I want to learn vCenter Server among others and tried to install it in this virtual machine, as I quickly discoveredvCentre requires 2CPUs which are at least 2 GHz, assuming that I understand it so far and I am not , what is the best way forward for me so that I can learn Vcenter in the following environment:

  1 x Windows Server 2008R2 Virtual machine with vCenter, domain AD etc.

  2 x Windows Server 2008 R2 running SQL2008 and center of System Configuration Manager

  2 x windows xp or win 7 clients

  assuming that I have very little $ to purchase a new high spec server to deal with all this and its only in a lab environment. What is the best way to go to implement, it will be used for myself training on products above, trials of software distribution, patch deployment, management of client of windows etc.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated as Im in its early days and theres a heck of a lot to!

  Thank you very much

  No, it should still install - it's just the 2 GHz is recommended and if I remember anything in the Setup goes and checks the closk speed -.

• VUM on Production vCenter Server installation

  Hello

  The person VUM which configure vCenter before me it takes, never installed. I am wanting to install to ensure that my esxi hosts are patched and up to date, but he was eager to know if there was any danger to install on the vCenter server when it is already in production?

  Thank you.

  not necessary if you host in the physical only. You can virtualize it.

  Otherwise, if you don't have a large environment as you can build locally with vcenter. but make sure that the frequency to check and download updates should be smaller than twice or three times in 24 hours in order to avoid any additional workload in vcenter. Otherwise all good.   Good luck.

• Will there be traps to vCenter Server installation on a host in a cluster that is already managed by another server vCenter Server?

  I guess that the first answer, I'll be back will be; Why?

  Our Organization has decided that the team of UNIX and the Windows team cannot share a single server vCenter Server that manages the environment. This is why the Windows team has offered a virtual computer in which we installed vCenter Server and then we can create our environment from there.

  Yes, I already read the doco on the creation of a virtual machine via the Client vSphere on an ESXi host we manage already. It's a viable option, but server 2008r2 should again be a picture they have made.

  I watched the vCenter Server appliance for linux, but from what I can tell that would be too small for our environment and is not supported for Symantec Appha.

  Yes, it would be nice if we could all play nice, but mgmt don't we have to so that's where we are.

  The ideas and concerns would be useful...

  Thank you!

  I see - it's just an unusual set of circumstances. As long as the virtual machine has network connectivity, it should work. It would be really no different than having a physical server with vCenter running on it.

• A domain on the server vCenter Server installation causes vCenter Server fails to start

  Hi guru,.

  Well I tried for a while, to get my vCenter Server to work with my newly created domain name and at least i did not have much luck. It seems that every time that

  I have create a new domain and restart the system. For the VirtualCenter Server service fails to start on reboot. I checked my odbc connection and test works very well.

  I am able to log in microsoft management studio without problem. But still, the service does not start I understand I can meet here, it's probably a

  with my database permissions issue.  However I can't seem to find the answer by myself if I m hoping to hear some suggestions from all of you who help on this.

  Thanks for the replies!

  Uh, you have not installed vCenter on the same server that is running your domain controller you have?

  ADAM and cannot run on the same machine AD.

  If it is installed on the same computer that your DC - get a new machine for VC - this configuration will never work. (minimum supported ram is 3 GB.)

  We see in the newspapers that ADAM is not from, and that's why VC fails to start as well.

  Failed to get all pages of search results: 0xa (a reference was returned by the server).

  Couldn't find OU = container of Instances.  This may indicate a problem with the LDAP permissions for the execution account VirtualCenter, or that the schema is not compatible with this version of VirtualCenter.

• VCenter Server installation on a computer that is running IIS

  Someone had trouble installing vCenter Server on a machine running a web server (IIS)?   Documentation indicates the use of a dedicated machine and one not running a web server.   During installation, you get the warrning that detected vCenter web server running, vCenter Server uses common web service for communication ports, so to avoid resource conflicts, use a dedicated machine.  We are talking about only slow or is it possible to interrupt the features of IIS entirely on this machine if I proceed with the installation?  Really the machine in question is not practically no IIS traffic... and we have not really a dedicated machine that is not running IIS at the present time.  Well, I do, but is not in a domain group, the documentation says it should be.   It may work on a workgroup server well?   I would like to install vCenter Server on a system of comments on our ESX 4.0 host, but I'm currently out of storage hardware to create an another VM atm.

  Thank you

• Vcenter Server installation

  Hi all

  I still have some very rocky ride through my lab:

  On my workstation, I installed 2 esxi host on which server runing VMs seats 2003.

  Virtual machine specifications are as follows:

  • 2 cpu
  • 384 MB
  • size of 40 GB drive

  When I load Vcenter I get the following error:

  Ty Proceessor not supported, contact the supplier.

  Could you please help

  After taking a second look at the screenshot and the log files, I think you are trying to set the configuration on the VM wrong. From what you say, you have installed 2 with ESXi virtual machines in VMware Workstation! The setting I mentioned must be configured for these virtual machines, and not for the nested Windows guest OS, you created in ESXi!

• Shared vs datastore stores local data and DNS in 5.1

  I read page 56 of the vSphere, ESXi, vCenter Server 5.1 Upgrade Guide

  It addresses the issue of DNS load balancing and vCenter Server data store name.

  I think it's to discuss the issue of shared storage and multiple hosts accessing a data store-same and that each host must VMware it the same name, due to how 5.1 doesn't solve VoIP DNS names, but now uses the DNS name for the data store.

  I have no shared storage.  They are all my data store (3 now 3 guests) local.  I guess I have in no way the need to appoint all my local data stores the same.  Correct?

  Here is the text directly from the page 56:

  DNS load balancing solutions and vCenter Server Datastore Naming

  vCenter Server 5.x uses different internal numbers for the storages of data than previous versions of vCenter Server. This

  change affects the way you add NFS shared data warehouses to the hosts and can assign the vCenter Server updates

  5.x.

  names of host IP addresses versions before version 5.0 vCenter Server convert data store. For example, if you

  mount a NFS data by the name \\nfs-datastore\folder, pre - 5.0 vCenter Server store versions convert the name

  NFS-data store to an IP address like 10.23.121.25 before putting it away. The original name of nfs-data store is lost.

  This conversion of hostnames to IP addresses a problem when using DNS load balancing solutions

  with vCenter Server. Replicate data and appear as a single logical DNS load balancing solutions

  data store. The load balancing occurs during the conversion to IP host datastore in solving the

  host name to different IP addresses, depending on the load data store. This load balancing happens outside

  vCenter Server and is implemented by the DNS server. In versions prior to version 5.0, features vCenter Server

  like vMotion don't work with this DNS balancing solutions because the load balancing causes a

  data store logic to appear that several data stores. vCenter Server fails to perform vMotion because he cannot

  recognize that what it considers multiple data warehouses are actually a single logical datastore that is shared between

  two hosts.

  To fix this, versions of vCenter Server 5.0 and later do not convert names to IP addresses data store

  When you add data warehouses. This measure of vCenter Server to recognize a store of data shared, but only if you add the

  data store for each host in the same data store name. For example, vCenter Server does not recognize a data store

  as shared between hosts in the following cases.

  -The data store is added by hostname and IP address on host1 to host2.

  -The data store is added by host name to host1 and host2 to hostname.vmware.com.

  VCenter Server to recognize a shared data store you must add the store of data of the same name in each

  host.

  You have reason - the section relates to the NFS shared storage - with the same NFS server load balancing is multiple IP addresses - in older versions of vCenter as the name of the NFS server is converted into intellectual property that could be different that would cause problems with vMotion and other opt vCenter - with vCenter 5.1 NFS host name is maintained.

• Problems after installing vCenter has 5.1 - no vCenter Server found

  Sorry, I'm new to this and I'm having a problem installing vCenter 5.1 has on Windows Server 2008 R2 by using the simple installation.  After completing the installation without mistakes, I starts the Web Client vSphere, connect and it comes up with no vCenter server and a message that says "to get started installation is a vCenter Server system or permission to access an existing vCenter Server system.  I'm on my 4th time well and it is consistent in the result, so I figure I should ask.

  If it's important, Windows Server is not a member of Active Directory, DNS works forward and reverse, I tried the IP address and FQDN name.

  I don't know where to be troubleshooting it.  It is my first installation of vCenter. I checked all the services, and they are running.

  I watched some log files and it seems pretty clear that something is trying to talk about something and is to be rejected, but I have no idea why.

  Anyone have any suggestions?

  Thank you

  During the simple installation of vCenter Server 5.1 method, it will first install the SSO part. During this part, you will be asked to create a password for a user called admin@system-domain. Please note that this user is only for the management of permissions within the standards body. That's why you can't see any instance of vCenter SSO. After completing the installation of SSO, the vCenter Server installation will be lauch. During the installation, the wizard will ask you about the password previously configured for the admin@system-domain user, enter it, and then click Next.

  Second, on the next prompt you should enter a global domain, user, or a local group who will be recognized by the SSO as vCenter Administrator service. Then complete the installation. In the end, make sure the "SSL Port" under the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ADAM_VMwareVCMSDS\Parameters registry key is REG_DWORD with a decimal value of 636.

  See: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1023864

  After that, open the vSphere Client or the webclient service, enter your vCenter Server server's FULL domain name and and a name/password user (domain\username), which has permission such vCenter administrator mentioned in part II.

  I hope this helps.

  Kind regards.

  I had the same problem with the certificate has expired. VMware has made a new kb article:

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2035413

  This vcsso file is only there if you do not click ok on the error window. but you do it anyway. Look under the VirtualCenter\SSL of C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware and see if the rui certificate has expired. mine did and after I removed all the files in there and restart the installation, everything went well, and the new certificate is valid 10 years ;-)

  hope it does not help anyone.
