PCOIP connection and VCenter Console

Is it possible to have a VCenter console connection to a desktop view that already has a PCOIP connection to it.  When I try this I get nothing but a black screen on the console connection and I don't know if this is normal or not.  Can I have a RDP connection on the desktop and a Console VCenter connection, the problem only exists when the connection is PCOIP via the customer to view.

Thanks in advance

In fact its possible to do, but you must set a registry setting on the client:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc. \VMware SVGA DevTap\NoBlankOnAttach: DWORD: 1

It is not recommended to do this for several reasons:

Anyone with access to the console can see what does the user. (Confidentiality)

Performance will be worse because the display must be in two places instead of one. (Performance)

Why not just use the Remote Assistance feature in Windows instead?

  • Connect to the console of vCenter device using the roots

    It is possible to connect to the console of the vCenter (5.5) device uses root?  And I don't mean via SSH; I mean in vCenter open the 'Virtual keyboard' unit vCenter VM and then login?  When I type in the root, it asks me not even a password - it just says: invalid connection.  Curiously, if I type in administrator would it ask for a password but I don't know what is this password (I was just with administrator to test to see if other accounts acted the same way).

    Thank you

    Too funny - I had to reboot the device last night in a different purpose and when I tried to login this morning to get the screenshots, it worked.   Chalked it up to gremlims/Ghost in the machine.

  • Open connections of hosts and vCenter Server Appliance

    We have number of ESXi hosts configured in our environment with vCenter 5.1, far ssh is open to all in order to access all hosts via SSH. Although authenticating the users available but, even then, the issue raises so bound / restrict administrators IPs or subnet of the network for security reasons. Will be the same for vCenter Server Appliance.

  • Failed to connect to client host vsphere and Vcenter also esxi.

    Hi all

    I am trying to connect to the ESXi 5 of vsphere client host. I get the error message:

    vSphere client cannot connect to < ip > an unknown connection error has occurred. (The request has failed because the remote server has taken too long to respond. (L'opération a expirer)).

    and of VCENTR I am trying to add this host. I get the error. Of"request timed out".

    I can connect to the shell of ESXi and restart the vpxa services and spend. I can ping to esi IP host. but just cannot connect to it.

    earlier, he the host showed as disconnected in Vcenter. I tried to plug it failed. so I took it off I think can re add back. It did not work.

    I can just connect to client as esx host.

    kindly advice.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I am able to connect now.

    I noticed as I said previously, unable to connect to the localhost error when running esxcli. Unable to connect using the vsphere client. Unable to connect using VCenter.

    So I started to dig that's wrong with the OS esxi. and began running a few commands information esxcfg etc file system use of space, inode inconsistency, a few other commands such vdh, df to check the file system.  . and but has not changed anything. network configuration is correct.

    in these I run services.sh reboot, restart vpxa, pass reboot, restart host, check the logs, vmkernel, vpxa newspapers spend., check the date and time of the host.  I couldnot Firewall check since esxcli did not work. I haven't checked listed above step on the SSO.

    If you type esx and double tab, you will see many orders. I started testing on these orders.  so esxcli was a single command I tried later. It worked all of a sudden.

    Once esxcli has started working, I checked vsphere client to connect to esx host that it worked. then I was able to connect in Vcenter also.

    Thank you for your support

    Be sure to vCenter Server is able to resolve the host name and vice versa. Add a host record - A with the IP address of your host (which btw. is always visible on your screen) to your DNS server and you connect to the host by its FULL domain name, rather than by its IP address.

  • Concurrent user connections to vCenter

    Hello

    We have about 50 virtual machines on our infrastructure with ESXi 5 5.5. hosts. They are all machines Windows 7 and users access via vCenter console (they can use the RDP sessions for different reasons). Now, I would like to know how this is handled by the vCenter? Can this has led to a kind of overload on the vCenter server or can it lead to some other performance issues? There are about 15 to 20 concurrent connections but about 50 in total. I couldn't find any documentation on the number of connections could cause the vCenter overload and no valid explanation would be appreciated.

  • The upgrade to vCenter Server to vCenter Server 5.1 5.1 update 1 when the SQL database is remote and vCenter Server Heartbeat is installed

    Hi guys,.

    I'm in the middle of an upgrade to vSphere 5.1 5.1 vSphere update 1. I have vCenter protected by HB and SQL on a separate computer (also protected by HB) I also run Syslog, Update Manager and Proxy authentication on vCenter.

    I've successfully upgraded HB on all 4 nodes (2 x vCenter & 2 x SQL) and started the upgrade components on the secondary according to the •vCenter Server Heartbeat 6.5 server and vCenter Update 1 Installation on Windows Server 2008 when the secondary server is virtual (PDF) http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vcenter-server-heartbeat-65-u1-installation-windows-2008-virtual-guide.pdf

    I got to step 3.c

    3. change the primary/active server role:

    a launch of the vCenter Server Heartbeat wizard configure server and click the tab of the Machine to change the server role for the current server (primary) to the active State and click Finish.

    b using the Service Control Manager, start the Server Heartbeat of VMware vCenter service.

    c using the vCenter Server Heartbeat Console, check that all the status icons on the server: summary page are green indicating that the boot process is completed and protected from all the services are started.

    d using the Service Control Manager, stop the service Server Heartbeat of VMware vCenter.

    As the vCenter service does not start, I'm stuck at this point. As far as I'm concerned, the error is quite logical. I've updated vCenter using the secondary server, and then I'm trying to connect (according to the guide) with another version that breaks down.

    If I continue with the services stop and launch the installer SSO, it is trying to perform an uninstall!

    Did I miss something in this upgrade?

    Concerning

Procedure 1 before continuing the upgrade process, perform a restore of the database of vCenter Server, Single Sign-On database, VMware Update Manager database and SSL certificates that were backed up in step 4 on the secondary server. regards Ciaran

  • Users of Active Directory cannot connect to vCenter 5 device via vSphere Client

    I'm unable to use credentials to access AD unit vCenter 5 via the vSphere client. I get an error message that I can log in because of 'incorrect user or password name' I am able to connect with this AD username and password for my vCenter 4.1, and environment to my RDP hosts by using the credentials of the AD, if AD works very well. And the password that I entered is correct.

    I could connect with AD credentials two weeks ago. Two weeks ago I stopped being able to connect with the credentials of the AD. I dropped back to the use of the local access through the vSphere client root user login. It seems that two weeks ago, my Oracle user passwords has expired. I fixed that by connecting to the EM console and responding to the command prompt to change the passwords. I've "changed" them to return the same password. Then, I subsequently put the limit password_life_time unlimited in the default profile. I tested since the vCSA admin interface the database settings. The settings saved and restarted the service VPXD.

    I have a 5.0.0 - 455964 vCenter device connected to an Oracle database. I activated the AD authentication in vCenter web admin GUI. I restarted vCenter Server Appliance after you have enabled this feature. I have validated that the time on the device of vCenter and the Active Directory zone are less than one second on the other. DNS forward and reverse unit number of AD and self-esteem are good. DNS is hosted on the AD controller, so I have connectivity between vCenter and AD. I run the query domainjoin-cli command and output is correct. I checked from the vSphere that my AD user customer and the ad group each received the Administrator role for the vCenter in the permissions screen object.

    Any ideas where to look next?

  • Unable to connect to the console of the virtual computer after dns change

    I finished just change of my VM and VC servers esx hosts to use the new dns servers. In addition the area changed as follows

    from vm1.subdom1.xxx.com to vm1.subdom2.xxx.com the esx hosts and vCenter server all underwent this change at the same time although ip addresses have remained the same.

    In vCenter but I do not see "cannot connect to MKS: address for server vm1subdom1.xxx.com host lookup failed: no host is unknown.»

    If I log into the esx vSphere Client with server can't connect to the console where I can say vCenter to use the new name of the virtual machine instead of the old host? I can ping and resolve the vm from the vCenter server and RDP to DNS so it works but vCenter is still going to the old address.

    Any help?

    To access the Console of the virtual machines... the vCenter does not really rely on the DNS config. It communicates only through ports 902/903

    This problem could have arisen due to some misconfig while changing the DNS... .pls try below

  • Using VMotion with 2 ESX and VCenter

    Hi all

    I just installed with ESX 2 VSphere and & VCenter. I can't use VMotion to migrate a virtual machine running one ESX towards each other.

    My setup is as follows:

    the iSCSI Software initiator.

    data store even shared by 2 facilitators.

    same conf network on the 2 hosts, none vlan used (set to 0):

    • vSwitch0 for the Service console, connected to the network of the company (vmnik0)

    • vSwitch1 for virtual machine network (connected to the company network vmnic1) and VMkernel (for vmotion, connected to the production network: san, vmnic2).

    Error displayed (at 10%): a general error occurred: the VMotion failed because the ESX host failed to connect to the VMotion network, please check your physical network configuration and settings network VMotion.

    Two VLAN different connection to the iSCSI SAN. You should have the same subnet, but a different IP addresses (if any) connecting to the San from each host (depends on the SAN)... For example 192.168.130.25 for ESX1 and 192.168.130.30 for ESX2. Unless your SAN network covers actually two subnets on your local network, you create a question where you don't need to. I would also use separate NETWORK card for vMotion traffic and another for iSCSI. Separate them VM traffic too (makes everything cleaner and less chance of collisions and too load performance causing one issues for each other. This is why it is a good idea to have at least four, if not six, physical NIC (or ports) within an ESX/ESXi server.

  • The right Shift key View 4 PCoIP/w and keypad does not work

    Hi all

    I'm having a weird behavior with the right shift key and the numeric keypad. This happens when you use view 4 with PCoIP. When you use RDP to connect to a system and using the console in vSphere.

    To illustrate the differences in the way he behaves, I typed the following string in an RDP session and a Console Session of vSphere.

    "@ @ 123 123.

    ^ Button '2' three times, three times, to left SHIFT + key '2' "123" on the top of the keyboard and 123 on the numpad + is offset to the right.

    You see that, while in RDP, the right shift key does not work and so that the console session the num pad behaves like the arrows or the end, pg DN (aka acting like numlock is turned off)

    VMWare tools are installed on the virtual machines in question. I tried to turn numlock on and off without a change in behavior.

    No I don't think that the numeric keypad problem has been reported.  But I've now reported.  I'll let you know if we have other questions.

    Hi JLAPRADE,

    I read a similar case, it seems that the problem could be solved either:

    1) that allows SSLv2Hello to vCenter, or

    (2) upgrade to the latest Foglight/Agent managers to the latest version.

    Regarding the #1 option:

    Client configuration file updated the vpxd.cfg in vCenter. It's the line that needs to be changed:

    TLSv1

    To add the SSLv2Hello Protocol, the client he added after a comma:

    TLSv1, SSLv2Hello

    This solves the problem for this client, but you can check with VMware.

    If the problem persists after trying these solutions or if you have problems, their implementation, please open a request of Service (SR) with the support and mention this thread.

    This is where an SR can be created: support.software.dell.com/create-service-request

  • Change the credentials to connect to vCenter

    I'm new to the VoP server and want to be sure I have some basics that I raised questions to predict in the future. We change our admin password on each server and account for all sixty days. So what I wear today in VMware connection will have to be changed during our next passwrord change management.

    What is the process to make sure that we don't lose connectivity to Ccenter? Is it possible to get the credentials of connection and change them and what to do before or after change us the password on vCenter.

    Thanks in advance for all help!

    After change password user vCenter, and then update the connection inside VoP credentials. It s important that you change Don t and the existing connection, delete and create a new. Then, you will lose all of your historical data.

  • How to change the remote ip address connection svs - vCenter was reloctated

    We just finished relocating our vCenter from one subnet to another, the IP address has changed and now we cannot add vmware port groups in the vNetwork Distributed Switch.

    When we tried to add the port profile the warning was "warning: operation successful locally but the update failed on the vCenter server.» Check if you are connected to vCenter Server. "We have checked the configuration on the 1010V link and found the culprit, the svs to vCenter connection had the old remote ip address.

    What is the preferred method to change it without destroying the config?

    Thanks in advance.

    How to do is the following:

    n1000v (config) # svs connection vcenter

    n1000v(config-SVS-conn) # no connection

    # 1.1.1.1 remote ip address n1000v(config-SVS-conn)

    n1000v(config-SVS-conn) # connect

    Essentially to turn off, change the IP address and then reactivate the connection.
