• Cannot Upgrade to vCenter 5.5 update 3 b

  Hello

  I ran into a little trouble the upgrade on the server vCenter for the 5.5 last update 3: b

  For some reason any it keeps failing when you try to install the Vmware SSO components

  Specifically, it seems to be failing on the components of Vmware JRE.

  I have attached the screen shot of the error as well as the Setup logs.

  Have looked through them and I tried to fine a solution myself, I can't seem to find that everything about the JRE components.

  I also tried to install separately from the folder vJRE on the dvd

  The server is a Windows 2012 R2 and current vCenter is RTM 5.5

  Any help will be appreciated

  @COC, you are right, I should have posted my fix as well

  It's here

  In the search for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT of the component that is failing, so for me it was that VMware vCenter Server - Java components

  Once you find the right component with the name of the product

  You will see a string value called transformations

  For me, it was pointing to the folder temp of the local user.

  I have just a right click transformations and Delete selected

  After that the installation went very well.

  He had to do the same for the TC server components too

• vCenter 4.1 Update 1 upgrade of update 2

  Hey all,.

  I'm stuck on something and need help. We have a vSphere 4.1 environment we need to spend 4.1 update 1 to 4.1 2. I've never done this before and I am struggling with the right way to do it. My understanding is that you need to update your server vCenter first, then update manager, you can use UNIFIED messaging to update ESXi hosts. I found a post that says that the only way to vCenter is to do a new install of update 4.1 2.

  If this is correct, how can I do a fresh install of vCenter without losing all my configurations? I started the installer and can't me what database, I want to install (i.e. the SQL 2005 Express included or an existing DB). If I point to the DSN for my existing DB, it will overwrite the DB or whether it is sufficient to install the update and let the DB in place?

  I guess that the same question would be relevant for UNIFIED messaging was updated as well.

  Quick notes... I cloned times my App Server VM vCenter and the DB Server VM vCenter, well I prefer not to overwrite my primary. I'm on an isolated network, so I don't have access to the VMware patch repositories. And I can't jump to vSphere 5. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you

  Yes, first step is always venter with all components (VUM, converter, etc.), and after upgrading vCenter you can do the upgrade to ESXi via VUM

  No, it wil not crush a DB, it will ask you whether you want to upgrade current DB

  Yes

  You want to perform the upgrade on isolated VM and move them later to PROD? I suggest to clone vCenter VM and VM DB first and update on the PROD not cloned servers.

  Good luck

• Error 1067 by starting the VMware Virtual Center Server service after the upgrade to VCenter 4.1

  I've started with VCenter 4.0 update online success in 4.1u1

  but now I can not start the service with Error 1067 by starting the VMware Virtual Center Server service.

  I did the upgrade online in VCenter 4.1u1 with this iso file VMware-VIMSetup-all - 4.1.0 - 345042.iso and now the entire production is declining.

• Service component of VMware Manager fails to start in vCenter Server 6 Update 2

  Hello

  A brief idea of my test environment:

  VCenter servers:

  VC1 - recorded at the psc1 in Site1

  VC2 - recorded at psc2 in Site2

  External Services platform controllers:

  psc1 - Site1

  PSC2 - Site2

  SSO domain: vsphere.local

  I upgraded from vCenter Server 5.5 update 3d to vCenter Server 6.0 Update 2. VCenter 5.5 servers had integrated / embedded of SSO and all services running on the same machine and were in modes related before the upgrade and I have them removed modes related before the upgrade. They have been upgraded to vCenter Server 6.0 with Embedded PSC and they entered automatically improved Linked Mode (ELM).

  After the previous step, I deployed the PSC external psc1 respectively 2 and psc2 mode of replication with vc1 and vc2 in the same site Site1 and Site2. I migrated then boarded two PSC vCenter servers to their respective partners external PSC of replication by running the command cmsso-util reconfigure - repoint-PSC "psc1/psc2" - administrator user name - domain name "vsphere.local" - passwd "Hasło_Administratora." This operation ended successfully and my vCenter have been reconfigured as vCenter Server with external CFP.

  After that, I followed article KB VMware 2127057 (agreements ofdetermination of replication and the State with the service controller 6.0 platform (2127057) |) The VMware KB) do psc1 and psc2 external replication of the PSC 2 partners either by running the command vdcrepadmin-f createagreement-2--h psc2.clifford.local h psc1.clifford.local u Administrator w 'Hasło_Administratora '. I ran this command psc2. Also, this operation succeeded, and when I ask the State of replication of the psc1 of replication partners and psc2, there is nothing wrong. However, after restarting my vSphere Infrastructure, I see that vc1, psc1 and psc2 have all their services started successfully.

  VC2 services seem to be failing, especially the service component manager of VMware which is required for many other services start. The VMware HTTP Reverse Proxy service starts properly and I have no IIS role / feature installed on my machine. The error message that occurs when you try to manually start the service is also attached as a file Error2.JPG in the discussion. The Windows event log error is as deeply as the file Error3.JPG in the discussion.

  Please let me know how to solve this problem as soon as possible.

  Well, I found a solution myself.

  In fact, after I created the external PSC 2 psc1 and psc2 partners of replication of the vc1 and vc2 in Site1 and Site2 respectively, I had to immediately follow section KB VMware 2127057 in order to create a replication agreement between the 2 external to the PSC psc1 and before psc2 I reconfigured and show the vCenter servers vc1 and vc2 of on-Board of the PSC outside the PSC following the VMware Documentation (Center of) VSphere documentation 6.0).

  That's all.

  Thanks to all for looking into it.

• upgrade to vCenter/SRM to 6.1

  All,

  We have recently updated our server vCenter 5.5 Update 2 to 6.0 Update1b.  All thanks to the improvement of the PSC and vCenter went to the wonder.  The problem we run into is with MRS.  We have improved 5.5.1 to 6.0 SRM that crossed successfully.  However, whenever connect us to vSphere Web Client and run SRM we get the following message when you click sites:

  Cause:

  Connecting to remote servers to SRM Server to https:// < IPofLocalSRMServer >: 9086, vcdr, vmomi, sdk needs to be reconfigured.

  I can't find anything on this error and have waited for hours for the VMware support call.  Any ideas?  We get this message with the SRM Server (remote and the).

  I suspect it is a certificate problem, but I can't identify where.  When you go to https://srmhost:9086 , I get the following:

  Hello

  after upgrade, you must reconfigure the pairing between sites or fix the connection from one site to the other. This should be a time effort and it is necessary to renew the certificates information in SRM products improved after all.

  You can find more useful information in our documentation - Site Recovery Manager 6.1 Documentation Center

  Procedure

  1	In the Web Client vSphere client, select Site Recovery > Sites, right-click on a site and select reconfigure matching to reconfigure the connection between sites Site Recovery Manager.

  Hope that this is sufficient,

  Your order of upgrade look OK and I recommend that you take a look at these KB articles for some best practices:

  VMware KB: Upgrading recommended vcenter Server 6.0

  Hey guys,.

  I have 2 vcenter (1 physical and virtual 1) servers with vmware 6.5 pulsation clustering.

  My plan is to update the update vcenter 2 to day 3.

  What would be procedures?

  1 - do I need to install the update on the vcenter servers?

  2 - stop pulse/vcenter services before you start the update?

  Thanks in advance.

  Even if the document is 5.0 to 5.1, you can still use it as a reference guide. There will be a party in the procedure where you will be asked to upgrade the database, given that you apply an update, select do not overwrite

  "If the application of an update, when you are prompted, select don't overwrite, let the existing database in place, otherwise if there is an upgrade, when you are prompted, select upgrade vCenter Server database.

• Impossible to deploy the model after upgrading to vCenter v4_1

  Hi all

  I updated vCenter Server from version 4.0 to v4.1 and re-registers the hosts.
  Virtual machines are working well and are able to collect data on performance.

  However, when I tried to deploy the model, error occurred and failed to deploy the model.

  (This model were made to vCenter v4.0 environment, before moving on to vCenter v4.1).

  My client needs deploy the model so that it can create a new server next week...

  If there is anyone who has solved this problem by following the procedures written in this KB, could you tell me at what level you updated VMware tools for?
  In addition, was the update of the virtual hardware to solve this problem?

• The upgrade to vCenter Question DB

  I'll create a new server vCenter for v5 instead of upgrading my current v 4.1.  The Act of installing vCenter 5 and say things to use my current DB upgade the DB?  Or do I need to upgrade my vCenter 4.1 for the DB upgrade, and then create the new server and that it points to the DB?

  No, you do not have update the vcenter server - when you connect the vCenter Server 5 to the existing database, he will see the database must be updated.
