• Autolock office after 1 minute without having a screen saver or management settings that take in charge of power

  My vista computer locks my desktop (just like Win + L) automatically after 1 minute of inactivity so I don't have a screen saver or any power management settings that could indicate that.

  I timed it it and its exactly 1 minute of inactivity on the keyboard or the mouse.

• 'Disconnect' a managed host to vCenter Server: practical application?

  The vSphere client offers the possibility to "unplug" a managed host to vCenter Server (right-click > disconnect).

  I was wondering in what situations it would be used/useful? He influence the virtual machines running on the host? Is "reconnect" everything just like linking to the departure to a new host?

  mudage

  Here is what I use the button disconnect to:

  I have an old vCenter 4 install with 10 ESXi 4.0 hosts, I now build a vCenter 5.5 system and need to migrate to this vCenter but I can't have all the time.

  So, I hit the button disconnect and then add the ESXi 4.0 host in my new vCenter, then at my convenience I then host 4.0 on a host 5.5 vmotion.

  I hope this makes sense to you.

• Manage an ESXi host using vCenter Server?

  I understand it is possible and requires of the specific licenses for ESXi hosts, even if I find information on the VMWare site a bit confused as to what I need exactly. We have-

  1 License Server Standard 4 x vCenter

  4 x vSphere Enterprise license 4 (who manage our ESX 4 hosts this site)

  3 (and soon 4) remote sites that have the same server ESXi

  I would like to be able to manage ESXi host using vCenter as well, is this possible with what we have? If this isn't the case, can someone direct me as to what it takes?

  Thank you

  You need the standard by CPU socket for each host license to add to vCenter.

  You can always create a separate environment and get the Essentials Bundle (up to 3 guests max) for $500:

  So you should have 2 vCenter servers.

• Upgrade 5.0 ESXi host w / vCenter on it

  Hi people, forgive me if this isn't in the right place. Finally move the update and patches of my three hosts ESXi 5.0 with Update Manager. I was quite easily able to update two of my guests with managers to upgrade to a more recent version, however puzzled on what to do with the host that hosts my vCenter on that server? We have VMware essentials if we do not have to use Vmotion. Is there an easy way to update this host without vCenter cloning and move to another host to update? Advice or tips or news to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and help!

  I guess your vCenter is on the shared storage - connect to the host of your power VM vCenter down the VM and remove from the inventory of the hosts - go to one of the hosts that has been already updated and add the virtual machine to inventory and run it - and now, you're ready to use the Update Manager to update host rest.

• Remove host to vCenter, but keep the functional VMs on host?

  I managed on the basis of 3 guests by vCenter Essentials over which limit myself to 3 hosts managed by vCenter.  3 all hosts are connected to storage arrays, SAN, through Dell Power Connect switches.

  I want to delete a host to add a beefier host in his place.  If I remove a host, it will break the connections to the San?... because I want to leave the host VMs powerd on & keep functional.  Is this possible?  Would this work?

  Remove a host to vCenter will not affect SAN connections or virtual machines running - depending on whether you have any DRS you might be forced to put the host in maintenance mode and move virtual machines to other nodes or if you have active HA you can find in a State where you receive warnings about insufficient resources for failover.

• Unable to connect hosts to vCenter

  Hello

  I see this problem is well known, but after trying everything I found here or on the different VMWare KBs (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1027672), you are my last hope !

  When I try to add a host to vCenter (via vSphere Client or vSphere Web Client), I have the following error:

  • Cannot contact the specified host. The host may not be available on the network, may have a network configuration problem, or that the management on this host services may not respond

  About versions of software:

  • ESXi 6.0
  • vCenter 5.5 (installed on a Windows Server 2008R2)
  • vSphere Client 5.5

  Here's what I CAN do.

  • The host can ping vCenter (both with IP and server name)
  • vCenter can ping on the host (with IP and server name)
  • DNS resolution works great
  • I can connect directly to the host with vSphere Client (and create a virtual machine, if I want to)
  • The host is not in "Lockdown" mode
  • The vCenter database is clean (MSQL Express, a small)
  • I tried to affect the timeout of negotiating SSL 12000ms, as it is mentioned in the KB, but the problem is still there
  • vpxa service is running on the host computer

  If you have advice, information, even the smallest one, please share it!

  Could this be a problem in version? A known issue with 6.0 ESXi and vCenter 5.5?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Yes, problem solved.

  My mistake was that I just add the network configuration of the ESXi domain suffix, but I did not actually Add the ESXi host at the estate, with the permission of the administrator of the domain. (Now, it seems so obvious...)

  So I had to plug directly into the host ESXi via Vsphere (in my case Windows), go to the configuration tab and add the host to the domain.

  After that, everything went well.

  Thanks again Andrew for your help on this!

  Nice day

• Cannot add the ESX 6.0 host to vCenter Server 6.0

  OK, I'm testing laboratory a vsan 6.0 cluster.

  I have my running 6.0.0 esx hosts and vcenter server is 6.0.0 also.

  I have the services platform on a virtual machine and vcenter on another. I was able to create a data center, then a cluster below.

  Then I went to try to add a host to my group and I get this error...

  Failed to contact the specified host (hostname\IP). The host may not be available on the network, may have a network configuration problem, or that the management on this host services may not respond.

  
  

  Per this KB: KB VMware: Add a host VMware ESXi/ESX from VMware vCenter Server fails

  
  

  I confirmed that my vcenter server and platform services server can see all esx hosts. From the vcenter server, it can ping the host esx and PuTTY can access all of them. I even installed the client and it can connect to all esx hosts. I used the netbios name, IP and FULL domain name and they all work.

  I have only a single subnet, so this isn't a problem. DNS resolution works in all areas of both sides, vcenter esx hosts and host esx to vcenter.

  
  

  I am quite puzzled.
  

  
  

  
  

  OK, after working with VMware on this issue, I think that I thought about it.

  All my hosts are DL360 G6 servers.

  My hosts are run the same build «VMware-ESXi-6.0.0-2494585-HP-600.9.2.38-Mar2015.iso» ESX Downloaded from HP.

  All buildings are in trial mode.

  After placing a call to VMware, they had me build some ESX VM, the services of the platform and the vcenter VM on an ESX host. We suspended because it took all day to go upward.

  Once I woke up all the parts (sql server, esx vm, server platform & vcenter) in virtualization nested, I created my data center, then Cluster then added the ESX host.

  The hosts added properly, no error. Then I remembered when I installed ESX inside a virtual machine, I am angry that the iso, I had the habit of HP does not work in my VM nested due to virtualized hardware.

  Then a fire came into my head. We will rebuild all of the physical cluster but NOT use the CV provided the iso file but use VMware provided iso file "VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 6.0.0 - 2159203.x86_64.iso".

  I did it today. I have rebuilt all hosts with the provided iso file VMware ESX...

  Spun SQL Server vCenter, service platform, all VM VM VM you need. My AD & DNS VM are on another server, so he has been upwards all the time.

  Connected to the web interface (yuck!).

  Created my data center...

  Created my Cluster...

  Add all my Cluster hosts.

  All of this worked!

  Therefore, if you encounter the same problem, I'm plan to generate your with the provided iso file VMware ESX hosts and try it. In my case, the provided HP iso file didn't work properly for me.

  I also downloaded the iso file of HP 2 other times to make sure and do a validation test and it did the same thing.

• Cannot add ESXi host to vCenter Server

  Hello

  I created a home set up a VMware datacenter for study purposes. I currently have 2 virtual machines: an ESXi host with vCenter Server Appliance deployed on this subject.

  I configured the server vCenter through web interface device and I have connected using vSphere Client.

  I created a data center, but when I try to add a host, I get "ERROR: the request exceeded."
  Connection with vSphere client directly to the ESXi host works.

  I can connect using SSH to the ESXi host.

  I have disabled the firewall on the ESXi host.

  I have read many articles on the kbase but nothing helped me to solve this problem.

  You have any ideas?

  I finally got to understand.

  It seems like my vmware workstation is not connected to the esxi as a physical host in my local network host, and so I was able to ping it unit of vCenter Server (but it worked the other way around, and that's why I thought it was ok).

  After the connection to the physical LAN of VMware workstation settings, everything worked fine.

• Unable to add previous hosts to vCenter device

  Greetings.  We are migrating our guests to new hardware.  We had three hosts for running ESXi 5.5.0 - 1331820 with the vCenter device on one of them.  Everything worked well.  In the process of moving virtual machines around, vCenter device has been deleted (intentionally).  We recreated the device of the OVA 5.5.0.5201 vCenter and ran through the Installation Wizard as previously.

  Now, when you add one of the existing hosts to vCenter, it finds the host and displays information.  When the user clicks on finish, it works quickly up to 80% and the host appears, and then disconnects.  The log shows: add host independent, added host, unable to connect host computer in the data center; connection error host, removed in the data center.

  The error showing is: cannot communicate with the specified host (x.x.x.x). The host may not be available on the network, may have a network configuration problem, or that the management on this host services may not respond.

  
  

  Now the stupid thing is that we can not even add the host on which the vCenter unit is on.  In addition, all hosts and vCenter unit are on the same network of management.  There is no firewall doesn't block all ports.  I read through a lot of the display of the Knowledge Base, and most is in regards to incorrect IP addresses or ports blocked or similar.  I checked through everything and could not find anything wrong.

  
  

  Last thing is that we amazed the ESXi host that had the vCenter device on it and re-installed 5.5.0 - 1623387 ESXi (version a little more recent than before) and reinstalled the that vCenter device exactly as before.  Now we can add that the host but still cannot add other hosts.  So it appears the issue is something with the hosts and not the device vCenter. 

  
  

  Anyone have any ideas?
  

  I run in to the same kind of problems with other factors.

  FWIW, have you tried the following in this order? 1 stop the vpxa on host, 2 service. Stop the service vmware-vpxd on the vcenter server, 3. Start the vmware-vpxd on the vcenter server, 4 service. Start the serivce vpxa on the host. Then try to add.

• Delete host to vcenter vcenter disappeared or no longer works

  So I completely messed up my camera vCenter and it no longer works. I tried to redploy a device by connecting directly to the host, and it does not work.

  How can I remove the host of reflection, it is managed by a unit of vCenter, while on the host? In other words, without access to the device of vCenter but rather by connecting to the host using vclient?

  Don't have seen this before. When you use the vClient to connect directly to the host, on the summary screen, there is a link at the bottom right that says something like "Unlink this host to vCenter Server." I clicked it and it seems to work. I hope that I have no problem in the long term.

• pointing to vCenter Server Settings on 5.1

  It seems that we are unable to remove an erronious entry that has been added since the vSphere client heavy and clicking "Edit" on the "Advanced settings" area of the vCenter management zone in the Web Client results in a blank window.  Is it a good way to remove the keys from vCenter 'configure the Advanced Server settings?

  Thank you.

  Thank you.

  The parameter is visible in the vpxd.cfg file (located in C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter)?  It's a file in xml format.  If it is there, delete the entry associated with the parameter.  I think you must restart vCenter Server service for the change to take effect.

  As always, make a backup of the existing file, test, dililgence, etc, etc, etc.

• Connection host to vCenter

  Hello

  I have vCenter 5.1.0 947673 and I have both two ESXi hosts are 5.1.0 version 799733. The first to connect the vCenter with problem but the other gave me an error:

  Failed to contact the specified host (192.168.250.XXX)
  . The host may not be available on the network, a
  network configuration problem may exist, or the
  management on this host services may not be
  respondent.

  What could be the problem? The host and vCenter are in the same network, net, they have the same gateway by default and same DNS server and they can ping each other same sub.

  Have you already tried to restart the management on the ESXi host agents and tried to add?

• Error adding host vmware vCenter

  Hello

  I have the free version of VMware ESXi 5.1 installed. When I tried to add my host to vcenter 5.1 with the trial version I get the error message below. I can't use esxi 5.1 edition for free with the trial version of vcenter 5.1 is?

  "The host is licensed with VMware vSphere hypervisor 5. The edition of vCenter License Server does not support VMware vSphere hypervisor 5".

  Hi sbala,

  The free version of the hypervisor cannot be managed by vCenter.

  You must allow the hosts with at least ESXi Standard - the free version of the hypervisor can be managed with vCenter.

  Thank you

• Migrate to ESXi 4.1 hosts to VCenter again

  Hey volks!

  Today, I finished with the installation of a new server VCenter 5. There is another VCenter 4 Installation that actually manages our ESXi 4.1 hosts. Now I would like to move the hosts to VCenter 4.1 environment to the new (5) a.

  Is there a way without having to move the hosts in Maintenance Mode?

  What I read on the web - can I just uninstall the agent, but no guide step by step has been found and I would prevent mistakes when doing. Also, I think that this is not a good way to do it, or?

  I'm sure someone did it in the past and can enlighten us on this.

  Thanks in advance,

  Matthias

  NAAA it should be simple. Cluster resources can be a problem, but I don't see it as a big deal,

  1. Disconnect host VC4
  2. Remove the host of VC4
  3. Add a host to VC5
  4. and repeat step 1-3 for all remaining army.

  vCenter and HA agent will be installed automatically when add you the host to the VC5
