Password modification for VCenter upgrade?

Hello, I'm in the middle of the upgrade an ESX 3.5 environment to VMSphere, and the first step is to upgrade VCenter and corresponding database.

However, if I understand things you must provide SQL server prior to the upgrade of database that is logically, the SA password, but unfortunately this password has been lost.

This isn't a problem since we can simply hand it over to a different password, but I just would like to confirm that the SA password is not hardcoded into the ESX environment somwhere, so a change in SA would cause problems in the upgrade process! Thank you!

Hello.

See KB 1006482 for the password change process.

Good luck!

  • Is the password required for the upgrade?

    When I bought my HP computer, I went to the premium version of what was their current line of portable computers for personal use. This computer is equipped with a fingerprint scanner that is managed by HP SimplePass. Let me clarify this now - I don't speak of the HP SimplePass created by Digital Persona, but one made by AuthenTec Incorporated.

    As a side note, the software HP SimplePass was first made by AuthenTec Incorporated, a company that went under in 2012, despite the rest of the software in circulation. HP SimplePass has a one-stop shop for all your needs safety. You can register several prints of multiple hands, create an identity by providing a profile photo and an email and opt-in to have all your passwords on websites you visit saved. Sounds nice, right? The problem is that it automatically collects your passwords (including bank accounts online, purchases, suppliers, etc.) and since the business ceases to exist (seriously, the program Web site is 'under construction' *) who knows who or what is in control of your account... and the connection related information. There are probably tons of people which has provided a real image of themselves, their email and allowed without knowing their password to remember.

    Now, even if I would prefer a lot do not have to use the HP SimplePass application, I. I have created an administrator password after the purchase of this laptop, but registered my footprint for ease of use. I forgot since the administrator password only by making my mark all these years. When I realized everything first how unworthy of trust HP SimplePass is, I looked in reset my password, but never took the time to create a password reset disk when I did the password. I tried several third-party applications, all claiming to allow me to change my password. None worked, most was advertising machines, and some have been marked by my antivirus software to be malicious. I didn't pay $30 to have HP send me a password recovery disk, so I stuck with my fingerprints while the other features of HP SimplePass disabling.

    Recently booked an upgrade of Windows 10 on this computer, I'm a little worried. This update will require the administrator password? The HP SimplePass application is compatible with the upgrade? Please comment if you know something or have had the same problems with HP SimplePass! I would like to also some suggestions on the third-party applications that actually reset passwords!

    Is your current account, an administrator account? If Yes, you do not need any third-party tool. Here's what you need to do:

    1. Log in under this admin account, by using the fingerprint reader.
    2. Click the start planet.
    3. Type cmd.exe in the search box.
    4. Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter
    5. Click on "Run as Administrator".
    6. Type the following commands and press ENTER after each:
      NET user "user %%nom" 123456
      (to set your password to 123456)
      NET user administrator abcxyz
      (to set the password for abcxyz)
      NET accounts /maxpwage: unlimited
      (to prevent the passwords expire)
    7. Log in as administrator to test the password.
    8. Create a folder printed of these passwords and store it in a place that you can not possibly forget. It is clear that relying on your memory will not work. It wouldn't work with my memory no more...

  • Upgrade paths for vCenter Server 4.0/32-bit to 64-bit/5.0

    So, for various reasons beyond my control, when we installed vCenter server when we migrated from 3.5 to 4.0, it has been installed on 32-bit Windows.

    Data backended by a full instance of SQL Server (not the MSDE version that comes pre-packaged with vCenter).

    So, I try to understand the strategy of less impact for the trip to 5.0.

    One idea I had is simply to build a new 'home' for vCenter Server on x 86-64 and point the application on the existing database running on 32-bit windows server. (I'm guessing that the 32/64-bit nature of the database server itself is largely irrelevant as it allows 64-bit vCenter Server to talk to it). I think then that all information cluster all would remain intact since it's in the database, etc..

    If I had to, I guess, we could install vCenter 4.0 (64-bit) on the new host and THEN perform the upgrade, if it was really important, but I somehow don't think it is.

    Once that is done, we would eventually just make a backup/restore type upgrade path to move data out of the old host and the new host and re-point vCenter Server in its local database now.

    A that someone does something similar to this? Traps, we should be aware of? Warnings that it would never work the way we expect it to be, etc, etc. ?

    That's what I'd do.  It your DB is remote, it is a fairly straightforward upgrade.

    1. turn off your old Instance vCenter

    2. backup your DB instance

    3 copy the SSL directory off the old vCenter and the new (you'll probably to manually create the path, before installing vCenter)

    4 set up your ODBC connection and test

    5. install vCenter and use existing DB

    Assuming that you are going to use the same host name and IP address for your new instance of vCenter, like your old, all stocks will be as it was before the upgrade.

  • How to change the MOB OpenManage integration for vCenter Server registration

    A few months back, I've updated our installation of the vCenter for v2 plugin, now called OpenManage integration for vCenter Server. When you perform the upgrade, we have kept the old base done vs a new installation. During the upgrade process, we deployed the new device under a new name of the computer.

    Everything works well except that we noticed an annoying thing. Registration of the plugin is the former name of the server instead of the name of the new server-oriented. It is validated by looking at the web page MOB: http://vcenter Server/fmt drilling then down through:

    Content--> Extension Manager--> extensionList ["com.dell.plugin.OpenManage_Integration_for_VMware_vCenter"] --> server--> URL string

    The configuration of the appliamnce shows the correct new name of the device and the administration console is accessible via the new name for the device. The only place where we see the old name of the device is in the MOB config.

    We tried to remove the plugin and added, but still cannot change the value of server URL to reflect the new name of the device. Until we solve this problem, I work around the problem by keeping just the DNS entry for the old name of the server in DNS.

    Anyone know who to change the property MOB for the URL of the server?

    I solved the problem.

    I found the following article that shows how to upgrade the extension. I just cut and paste into my current values with the URL of update and now all is good.

  • How to allocate disk space for vCenter server logs

    Hello

    I plan to level 4.1 to 5.5 U2d vCenter on the customer site. One of the conditions set out in the vSphere upgrade guide is:

    "In vCenter Server 5.x, the default size for vCenter Server connects is larger than in vCenter Server 4.x. make sure that the disk space allocated for the log folder is sufficient for this increase 450MB."

    My question is how to allocate disk space for the log file and where can I find the disk space allotted to file papers to vCenter 4.1 existing?

    Just see the free space on the partition where the vCenter server logs are stored. If it is insufficient, increase the size of the virtual disk and then increase the file system to the guest OS.

  • SQL Server edition full for vCenter Server 6.0

    Hello

    Just learn that vCenter 6.0 does not support SQL Server Express.

    We intend to use SQL Server 2008R2 as the database of vCenter Server 6.

    We would like to ask for your opinion if we should use the full 32-bit or 64-bit SQL Server Edition?  For SQL Server Express, 64 - Bit is used, I think that we need to use 64 bits one, is this correct?

    Your opinion is requested.

    Just learn that vCenter 6.0 does not support SQL Server Express.

    The Windows 6.0 vCenter dropped the integrated SQL Express, BUT instead, it comes with a SQL database vPostgres shipped to replace it with similar restrictions. You don't need to install your own SQL server if you're ok with these limits. See the following article:

    vSphere 6 - clarify misinformation. VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs

    Databases are supported for installing windows SQL 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014, Oracle 11g and 12 c as well as the possibility of using an embedded database vPostgres on windows vPostgres is limited to 20 guests and 200 VMs. Upgrades where SQL express is installed will be converted to vPostgres. The vCenter Server Appliance supports the vPostgres shipped to full scale, the host of 1000 and 10,000 virtual computers and is the database recommended for vCenter server unit. Oracle 11g and c 12 external databases are also supported for this version, look for these to drop in the future releases.

    It is also possible to keep an existing SQL Express DB when you perform an upgrade:

  • I would like to download the license for Vcenter 5.5

    Hello:

    We recently purchased a new (HP DL380 Gen9) ESXi host and that host will work with Version 5.5 Update 2.  I was asked my our VMware consultant to connect to our VMware account and get the license for Vcenter 5.5 .  I can log on to the account; but, how to the license for Vcenter 5.5?

    Then the license "vCenter Server 5 Essentials" should be sufficient. You should be able to download vCenter 5.5 from here (but don't forget to take the update correct level: 5.5, 5.5 U1 or U2 5.5): VMware vSphere 5: Private Cloud Computing, server and data center virtualization

    And you should think about upgrading 5.1 hosts after that vCenter device is installed and configured.

  • What happens IF we replace the default certificates for vCenter 5.1?

    Does anyone have specific vmware documents indicating what happens IF we replace the default certificates for vCenter 5.1 SSO, inventory, Web Client etc... services?

    I found this below at page 19 of https://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/vCenter/VMware-vCenter-Server-Single-Sign-On.pdf

    Certificates update

    When you install the vCenter Single Sign-On, each component that registers with it - including

    vCenter Single Sign-On himself - uses SSL to communicate between components and saved solutions.

    By default, SSL certificates are generated automatically by VMware installation and upgrade process

    and are sufficient for the operational security for most VMware customers.

    Some clients prefer to use their own self-signed or purchased SSL certificates. A tool has been developed to

    help the insertion of these certificates after vCenter Server installation. Because of the additional knowledge

    required to create and install self-signed certificates, we recommend that you review the following knowledge of VMware

    basis of articles:

    "Deployment and using the tool to automate SSL certificate.

    (VMware 2041600 knowledge base article)

    "Generation of certificates for use with the VMware Certificate SSL automation tool"

    (VMware 2044696 knowledge base article)

    In 10 years your vCenter starts (because of expiry of the certificate).

    Your users will see pesky warnings of SSL certificate when connecting components.

    Apart from that all traffic is always secure and encrypted with certificates by default, you have simply a chain of trust for them.

  • VCenter upgrade to the latest version

    Hello

    I am running vCenter 2.5 build 119598. What is the best method of practice for vCenter is upgrade to the latest version?

    Thanks in advance,

    Pedro

    I would like to download the latest version from the download site and follow the instructions in:

    http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vi3_35/esx_3/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_upgrade_guide.PDF

    Each version of vCenter is a full version and is relatively simple point and click on install.  The only thing that I usually recommend it is that you have a backup of the database before doing anything, just in case.

  • Advice/cost for the upgrade of MacBook Pro memory

    I have a mid-2009 13-inch MacBook Pro. It has 2 GB of RAM and I want to update 8 GB of RAM. I heard it is expensive to have Apple install memory, but I really do not trust myself to install it alone! Does anyone have an idea of what it would cost (for the work of Apple and memory) for this upgrade? And if no Apple, anyone have any suggestions for qualified but cheaper alternatives? Thank you!!

    Dailey,

    You can upgrade RAM yourself at a reasonable cost.

  • Firefox does not meet password when the choice of multiple passwords stored for a Web site

    I don't understand, I seem to be the only one with this problem. I use Firefox on Android, and when I have several passwords stored for a website, the password does not automatically.
    Things work very well when I only have a password for this site: load Web site and the password appears automatically with the user name.
    When you have several passwords stored for a domain name, no password is filled, but you can choose between all the names of registered users. When I choose a user name, the password is not met.

    Expected behavior:
    I chose a user name to log in with the password appears on its own.
    Actual behavior:
    I chose a user name to log in with, but the saved password does not automatically, as if I chose a user name from a list of saved form data.

    Steps to reproduce:
    -Use Firefox for Android.
    -Save 2 different user names on a Web site like for example google.com.
    -Load the website.
    -Choose among 2 saved connections. -> Password is not displayed.

    I'm doing something wrong? Or is this a bug? I can't find anything online, that is why I am discovering here...

    Thanks for reading!

    I have two theories:

    1. If you use a master password and sync again, passwords will not be synchronized.
    2. What preferences on mobile you in settings > privacy > "password main user ' and 'Remember password' and what preferences on Office: menu Tools > Options > Security >"remember passwords for sites ".
