Problem migrating Vcenter server from the old cluster to the new cluster?

Hey guys,.

Just came across this situation, and I don't know what to do. I pass my vcenter server older glomerulus with hosts of esx4.0, to a more recent cluster with hosts of esxi4.1. The material of host machines are different generations, and vmotion don't migrate vcenter because of the cpu sets between cluster mismatch. If I could turn off the virtual machine and migrate it would work, but since it's my vcenter Server I can't do.

Should I restore it on the new cluster?

Thanks for the suggestions/tips

Kevin

Connect directly to the ESX host using your client vsphere, vCenter vm shutdown, vCenter remove inventory, then go to the new host, browse the data store on the vCenter vm is, and add the vCenter Server inventory.

This assumes that the same storage is presented to both hosts.  If this isn't the case, you will need to use winscp or something similar to copy the files from the virtual machine.

  • Remove the server vCenter Server in the cluster

    I wanted to move my server vCenter to another machine.  When I installed on machine 2, he asked if it was a stand alone or make part of a cluster (? not sure if he said cluster but that's essentially).  I chose the cluster.  I moved my machines from the old server to the new server and then uninstalled the old server vCenter.  Now, when I open the vi for the new vCenter Server client, it tells me that the old server cannot be contacted.

    How can I get the old server to stop bothering me?

    Thank you!

    Is there a way to break the related modes, or do I need to uninstall and reinstall my vCenter Server?

    Use "vCenter Server Linked Mode Configuration".

  • Migration vCenter database of the local instance to a remote server

    Hello

    My vCenter database is installed on the local server with the vCenter server.  When installing without DSN was created because the local database.  Now, I need to create a dedicated server to host the database but can't find where, in the current installation, I would like to change to vCenter point to the new location.

    I read these KBs

    KB.VMware.com/kb/7960893 - movement of the SQL Server to vCenter database
    KB.VMware.com/kb/5850444 - migration vCenter Server on a different host machine
    KB.VMware.com/kb/1003928 - troubleshooting the database data source used by the VirtualCenter Server

    Problem is that (1) there is no DSN, (2) the registry key is not there either, and (3) I cannot find what to change in the vpxd.conf file

    I am able to "migrate the database" and "can create a new dsn to point to the new location.

    So, the question is where can I find the current configuration of the database\dsn.

    I hope that's clear

    Hi VMGenie,

    The reason why it does not appear THAT DSN u is because your machine VC can be 64-bit and the vCenter uses 32-bit DSN settings.

    Open the C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe folder for this exe... it should show u the DSN settings.

    Hello

    Resolution

    Cause

    This problem can occur if an ESX host's IP address is changed while being managed by vCenter Server.

    Check the cause

    To check the cause of the problem:

    1. Log in as root to the ESX host using a SSH client.
    1. In the file etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg, find the IP address of the host. The entry looks like:


      10.21.48.121

      Note: for more information about editing the files, see installation in VMware ESX configuration files (1017022).

    Troubleshooting

    If the IP address is incorrect, perform the following steps in order. If the operation does not resolve the problem, continue to the next step. Don't skip a step.

    1. Disconnect and then reconnect the host:
    1. Right click on the ESX host in vCenter Server and click Disconnect.
    1. Reconnect the ESX host in vCenter Server.
    1. Restart the VirtualCenter agent on the ESX host:
    1. Stop the service of vpxa with the command:

      # service vmware-vpxa stop

    1. Open the /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg file in a text editor and correct the IP address of the ESX host.
    1. Start the service of vpxa with the command:

      # service vmware-vpxa start

      Note: for VMware ESXi, you may have to restart all the management agents. For more information, see restart the agents on an ESX or ESXi Server (1003490) management .

    1. Rebuild the VirtualCenter agent on the ESX host configuration file:

      Attention: this step removes all the Statistics counters historical host and the virtual machine. If VMware ESX host is running in virtual machines that starts in a permitted CVS environment, you maybe won't be able to add the host without stopping the virtual machines first.

    1. Right click on the ESX host in vCenter Server and click Disconnect.
    1. Remove the ESX host disconnected from vCenter Server.
    1. Backup the file vpxa.cfg with the command:

      # mv /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.oldcfg

    1. Add the ESX host disconnected to the server vCenter inventory.
    1. Run the following command to view the contents of /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg and confirm that the host IP address is correct:

      # cat /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg

  • I tried to install CS3 with a serial number from my old computer to my new windows 7.  I tried installing and uninstalling. I've been on the cat

    I've been tryig to install CS3 with a serial number from my old computer to my new computer windows 7.  I have installed and reinstalled and rebooted the computer, takes off firewall and everything I know to do.  I was chatting to Adobe several times during the day and nobody seems to be able to help me refocus on my computer. This is the message I get when I put in place: you can only install a single Adobe product at a time.  Please fill out the other installation before installing Adobe CS 3.  I had a computer specialist to analyze it and try to help me, even the screen sharing and could not understand it.  He told me to call Adobe and as you know there is no one to help you live that can be very frustrating when you've spent the day and exhausted all options.  I know it worked on my computer and the fact yet but I use is more than one.  Can you or someone from Adobe please fix this.

  • V5 vSphere Client VI - connectivity to vCenter Server via the non-ideal DNS configuration

    Here's a theoretical question that I fight for an answer at the bottom.   For example, the question is:
    ..
    You have a VI Client in Active Directory (AD) domain n ° 1 with its own DNS, DNS #1 System.
    You have a server vCenter and ESX hosts in AD #2 with its own system DNS, DNS #2 domain
    The vCenter server and esx in AD #2 servers have DNS entries in DNS as follows #2...
    vcenter1. DNS2.com
    Esx1.DNS2.com
    ESX2. DNS2.com
    However, in AD #1 the same servers have entered DNS DNS #1 as follows...
    vcenter1. DNS1.com
    Esx1.DNS1.com
    ESX2. DNS1.com
    The VI in AD #1 client must connect properly on the vCenter server, using the DNS #1 name vcenter1.dns1.com.   It's pretty obvious.  However, what happens when you start a console KVM remotely to one of the virtual machines on VMware ESX Server?  I don't think it'll work.  I think that the VI client is trying to communicate with the service console of the ESX Server hosting the virtual machine by using the DNS entry of the ESX Server that is known to vCenter server, IE esx1.dns2.com, which is not a FULL domain name in the DNS # 1 VI client.
    I need to review this issue for VC2.5U6 with ESX 3.5U5 and an implementation of vSphere 5, even though I think that it is the same for all versions.   Incidentally, I read KB749640, talking about DNS but I don't think it covers where the VI client is a DNS domain disparate with DNS names of the esx servers different to the one known by the VC server.
    I hope the above is clear.  Can develop if necessary
    Thank you, Jan

    ESX host name is esx1.test.com.

    In provided customer vSphre the hostname for connectivity is different. for example: esx1.prod.com, however this name is directed to the same host with intellectual property.

    To do this, we edit hosts file c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.
