• The Lab Manager Ldap integration

  I, ve configured a vSphere/ESX environment of OTA in a subnet of 172.10.1.0/24.

  Open ports on our firewall to manage OTA from our direct environment. Online subnet: 10.128.0.0/16

  Installed Labmanager 4.0 and add it to the field in the environment of the OTA.

  Everything works fine. After you open the port 389, I want to synchronize LDAP.

  When I do "Test LDAP settings" I get the following error:

  

  I read that it is not best practice to place a LM server in a domain.

  http://blog.aarondelp.com/2010/03/VMware-Lab-Manager-install-notes-and.html

  I tried the Ldap synchronization with the server of LM in a working group, but also, it does not work.

  Tried with the domain admin user, manually add the ldap port, it was left empty, different DN, nothing worked.

  Read also in the article is not to name the server labmanager LM, and that's exactly what I did...

  Also the lab Manager folder described in the article was not created in vCenter.

  I think uninstall LM, rename the virtual computer and reinstall LM. I don't know if it will solve this problem.

  I hope someone has a solution...

  Thank you...

  the 'test' LDAP settings actually trying to find the account provided credentials.  It's like a back loop... I should be able to find me before as I find other people.

  If the test account is not in the basic DN path of research, but can locate other accounts then it should.

• How get rid you of a user in the Lab Manager?

  OK, that is.  I imported Active Directory groups in the Lab Manager and everything works fine.  I thought that I would like to delete a user (TOL3 configuration) on the domain controller to see what Lab Manager and it appears greyed out.  I can't however to delete in the laboratory Manager, no matter what I do.  LDAP synchronization do not do it, restart SQL (Lab Manager) service and other services, does not remove and re-import the groups does not work either.   Does anyone have a solution?

  Hello

  You will need to log into the Manager of laboratory as a "system administrator".

  Change the organization 'Global '.

  Now you should get disable it and remove the option to remove the user from Lab manager.

• Nothing is displayed when you try to view the Console in the Lab Manager 4

  Hello

  I just install and configure Lab Manager 4 on my vSphere and I'm ready to start working with virtual machine templates. I deployed a VM and it has started, but as soon as I try to display the console or 'Pop-up' the console nothing happen. Stay black and nothing works. I installed the ActiveX IE to ask me to but nothing changes.

  Can you help me with this?

  Thank you!

  You can give a try with firefox, if you face all the questions this time.

• Lab Manager licensing during the merger of vSphere environments

  Is there a small vSphere environment that is available for Lab Manager and a great environment vSphere and both are now completely separated (different vcenter servers, groups separated from ESX, etc.), and they are merged into one, what happens to the Lab Manager licenses?  Should be updated to take account of the increase in the number of ESX host in the new environment?  Environments can be merged without buying additional licenses?  If so, would be half the environment allowed for lab manager and others are not allowed?  How would the lab manager-under license, and lab-manager-without sections allowed environmental stands / separated?

  Thanks for your comments

  "Prepared" you went in in the section resources, hosts tab and see that the host is ready (green check mark), this means that there has been a 'prepare' to the host.  Prepare installs the agent LM, then she will deduct your license (settings > license).

• How to migrate virtual machines from the virtual server MS in Lab Manager?

  We migrate our environment. So primary question is - how to migrate our MS VirtualServer VMs to Lab Manager?

  BR

  Hello

  Have you tried using using VMware vCenter Converter?  It can take Virtual PC machines and turn them into VMs VMware (.vmdks), you should then be able to manufacture models of VMware virtual machines, import them into the Lab Manager and voila.

• Cannot locate the Microsoft Sysprep package on the server Lab Manager

  I have created a new model using the Lab Manager and install Windows XP 64-bit on it.  When the virtual machine has been cancelled and I tried to publish... I have the following error Publishing...

  Cannot publish a model of

  * Could not locate the Microsoft Sysprep package on the server Lab Manager.

  This 64-bit Windows system requires the package to perform the configuration of comments.

  See the documentation on the creation of the package.*

  When the sysprep package must be on the labmanager... I have a WinXP_64 directory, located in...

  Server\Tools\LMTools\Sysprep C:\Program VMware Lab Manager the Lab Manager server.  I also ran sysprep on the master, that I am trying to publish.  Anyone who encountered this?

  A few sites to check out:

  • http://pubs.VMware.com/labmanager3/users/LM_Users_Guide_templates.7.16.html -> note, you must have all the files in all the folders to build the package

  • http://pubs.VMware.com/labmanager3/users/LM_Users_Guide_templates.7.17.html

• Does not install the tools of LM in the evaluation version of Lab Manager

  The Lab Manager eval version contains the option to install the tools of LM? I can't find this option anywhere in the mouse option in the templates on a server that is not in a domain.

  For Lab Manager 3.0 is no longer a requirement for the tools of LM.  VMware Tools is all you need.  Any mention of the LM tools in the documentation must support VM for upgrade.

• Hosts are not displayed in the laboratory Manager

  I have an instance of Lab Manager 4.02. It works fine, until recently, I had to remove hosts from the instance of LM. While everything was closed, and the hosts were removed carefully, I added the new guests, ensuring you configs were identical, networks etc. Same version and everything. The virtual Center took the boxes, and they work fine.

  Lab Manager will, however, not seen. I confirmed repeatedly that none of my services fail, and no newspaper display errors. But the hosts under laboratory Manager section is empty.

  I checked with wireshark, and I get connectivity, as well as the responses of the Director of the lab - virtual Center.

  I brought the former hosts, with the same effect. I did then the labmanager to other VC instance he had never been associated, and he wouldn't see hosts there either.

  What would cause this? Someone at - he already experienced this? I have data in real-time in the current Lab Director, if I prefer not to rebuild.

  Thank you

  AW

  Besides that Graham mentioned,.

  > I brought the former hosts, with the same effect. I did then the labmanager to other VC instance he had never been associated, and he wouldn't see hosts there either.

  The Director of the laboratory cannot be associated with a single vCenter "Data center" object.  He memorizes the Objid of Datacenter and never delete it.  LM 4 should be able to work around this problem, or we can do something to erase the value manually.  But it would be better to try to verify the other steps first has affirmed here.

  > Then under management > resources section, click Resource Pools tab and select the "attach Resource Pool.

  > Select the resouce pool/ESX host you want on the shortcut menu.

  When you perform these steps, take a screenshot (in case it does not work).  I would like to see what objects have the Lab Manager icon already associated with them.

• Hierarchy of folders in the laboratory Manager

  Hello

  in vCenter, we can create inventories and organize virtual machines in it. I'm looking for the same kind of functionality in the Lab Manager, but I can't find. is it possible to organise Configurations and VM templates in a folder hierarchy, because everything is flat at the moment.

  Sahmed,

  There is no hierarchy of folder as vCenter Lab Manager interface within.  At most you might consider overall to be the root folder, then you have a depth of 1 to go to the default or any other organization.

  Otherwise, it's really only one level.  If you need to classify them, use the filter to find what you are looking for.

  The determination of the scope in the Lab Manager is more on the role of the user.  If someone does not need to see the library items, make sure a role that don't let them see the library.

  Kind regards

• I can point my Lab Manager 4.0.2 to point to another new vCenter Server?

  Hi guys,.

  I have a client with a LM4.0.2 production and we are considering moving to one another new/a vCenter server.

  It is important to note that the new vCenter will NOT have the same DB or FULL of the old domain name. It's a completely different vCenter with other ESX hosts.

  Now the questions:

  Can I redirect my Lab Manager (VM) at the new vcenter without any problem?

  What of the ESX (resource) on the old vcenter?

  Is it possible to do this without downtime for laboratories? If this is not the case, how can I minimize downtime? cancel the deployment will be enough?

  Does anyone have this done successfully?

  Any comments would be much appreciated.

  Eyal

  etamir,

  There are some excellent discussions within this forum on the same topic.  I strongly suggest to read first, and I'll see if I can find an example.

  Before going further, data warehouses used in the new vCenter/ESX environment will be exactly the same as the current one?  If you want to keep all of your configurations, I need to know that the UUID of the LUN does not change during this process.

  Can I redirect my Lab Manager (VM) at the new vcenter without any problem?

  You can change the IP/domain FULL name vCenter in the settings section of the Lab Manager site... now on the problems that could result.

  You will need to remove anything from the GUI of Lab Manager that has to do with the current vCenter (unedploy, unprepare host esx, resource pools, configurations etc.).  There will be more on this in the dedicated thread

  What of the ESX (resource) on the old vcenter?

  ESX doesn't really matter, it's the data UUID store that matters.  ESX is just virtual machines.  Note: you'll want to throw all States/suspend points on the VMS where processors are different on the ESX hosts.

  > Is it possible to do this without downtime for laboratories?

  No, there will be a form any downtime.  Either that LM site will be useless (no resources with Betclic, consoles will does not work until the guests are prepared, etc.).

  > If not, how can I reduce downtime? cancel the deployment will be enough?

  Yes, to cancel the deployment of will help... but there will be some lag as you reconfigure Manager of laboratory to use the new vCenter.

  > Has anyone successfully done this?

  Yes.  I saw others to do this.

• Issues of Configuration Lab Manager

  Hey,.

  So I tried to read documents about lab manager that we try to implement. Our lab environment has been previously implemented, and we had not considered using Lab Manager so far.

  Our installation is as follows: 3 data centers with two VM hosts in each and of course several VMS under.

  Our license is currently only 4 cpu, if he had to get a permit of expansion that I would be able to have the Director of the laboratory, managing multiple data centers? The current installation is on a virtual machine inside a data center and currently manages another data center.

  My second question is: our vsphere hosts is a physical machine, would it be better to install the Manager of laboratory on it instead of a virtual machine inside a data center?

  And then there at - it a good way to put the virtual machines already created and executed in Lab Manager without having to reproduce or copy on our data store?

  Thank you!

  First, Lab Manager supports only a single data center object from inside of vCenter.  It would be possible to do the following:

  1. use multiple clusters in a single datacenter (easier)

  2. do you have multiple facilities of Lab Manager who manage different data centers. (overhead much more)... different installs... splitting the licenses.

  I highly suggest option 1, if possible.

  My second question is: our vsphere hosts is a physical machine, would it be better to install the Manager of laboratory on it instead of a virtual machine inside a data center?

  It would be much better to provide a simple Windows 2003 Server virtual machine to be the Lab Manager server.  You cannot install Lab Manager on the same system as vCenter or a domain controller.

  And then there at - it a good way to put the virtual machines already created and executed in Lab Manager without having to reproduce or copy on our data store?

  You can "resume" a model, but not a VM.  If you import a virtual machine, Lab Manager will make a copy to have an independent set of files to manage.

  Kind regards

• Lab Manager 4.0.2 upgrade process

  Say for 4.0.2 release notes

  "before you can upgrade Lab Manager, you must upgrade the vCenter server.

  See the Lab Manager 4.0 Installation and Upgrade Guide for

  more information. »

  I watched the Installation and the Guide to upgrade for more information, but nothing is mentioned about the upgrade to vCenter 4.1.  Lab Manager 4.0.2 does support vCenter 4.0 Update1/2?  I think so but I would make sure before that I upgrade.   Here are my planned upgrade steps:

  1. put at manager level of laboratory 4.0.1 to 4.0.2

  2. turn to level vCenter 4.0 U1 to 4.1

  3 upgrade ESX 4 U2 to ESX 4.1

  is this supported?

  Director of the laboratory of 4.0.2 is backward compatible with vCenter 4.0 u2/u1/GA

  Regarding the upgrade process, unless you are already on a 64-bit operating system, then there's leg work to do the upgrade to vCenter himself.

  If you are already there, then it is fine.  LM may be the first in this situation.

  If you need to migrate vCenter, so long that the INVESTIGATION period change in fact... it is good.  If it does not change, you can tell the LM Wizard to change the IP address of vcenter.

  If you forget to change it, you can simply update the web UI of LM.

  overall, LM must be quite tolerant changes when you go in LM 4.0.2.

  Kind regards

• On vSphere Linked Clone and Lab Manager 4

  Hello

  In the Lab Manager Installation and Upgrade guide, there is a sentence saying: "Lab Manager is not compatible VMware Fault Tolerance (FT) or clones linked vSphere.".

  My question is: "what is a vSphere Linked Clone? Is is distinguished by a Clone of VMware? Because as far as I am concerned, the linked cloning technology came from Lab Manager right?

  Thank you!

  Welcoem to the Forums - Yes TI a vSphere Linked Clone is different from that in Lab Manager Linked Clone but unserlying technology is the same - the difference is whtechnology manages the linked clone - vSphere is handled only by the vSphere environment while a cloned associated Lab Manager is managed by you are your Lab Manager environment.
