Problem with vCenter 5.1 (W2K8) & SSO without AD

Hi all

I have problems with my first experiences with vC 5.1 / SSO. I have a virtual machine running W2K8 + DNS but no ads. This is what I want and need. 5.0 had no problem with that, but in 5.1, I can't make everything work.

Installation of SSO, the inventory service and vC (all 5.1), all this hard work and all the Associates services start. However, when I then restart the virtual machine, the vC service does not start, start services very well but no vC. It all started at the session of runtime install, but not after the restart of a virtual machine. By default use SQL Express installation options dbs SSO and vC have been taken.

vpxd.log has a relevant error of:

"Failed while trying to connect to the SSO Admin Server: no connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

DNS is all right, forward and backward. Despite the warning (attachment), SSO is happy to install without this AD.

I don't understand why vC post install but then fail to start after reboot.

Surely the vC (Win) 5.1 is not having to be in an AD domain?

What Miss me?

Thank you and best regards,

Mac

I did a few more tests to prove the change the start mode of services could solve the problem.

Today I install VC with simple installation.
After installation completed, before the reboot, take a sanpshot of the virtual machine.
Restart the VC, Vcenter service failed to start as usual.
Then go back to the snapshot before restarting immediately after installation.
And changed the start mode of service,

vCenter single sign on Service - automatic (delayed) automatic
VMware vCenter Inventory Service - automatic Automatic (delayed)
VMware vSphere Profile - Driven Storage Service - from Automatic Automatic (delayed)
VMwareVCMSDS - from Automatic Automatic (delayed)

then restart VC.
Services started normally vCenter.

If the sequence to start the service really matters!

  • Problem with VCenter, and VM of not listed in the use of resources

    We recently had a problem with a power being pulled cable and now things are a little twisted...  We had to reboot our servers (ESX1 and ESX2) ESX and VCenter.   ESX1 said that HA had been disabled and restarting didn't help, so we chose the command to 'Reconfigure for VMWare HA'.

    And now, after he reconfigured, it's what we have: ESX1 12 virtual machines on it, and ESX2 4.  ESX2 shows consumption of the normal resources of the virtual machines that are on, however, ESX1 says that there are 3 VMs on, but none of them use ANY resource.

    I've attached a screenshot of what I'm going to have to explain.  It is not sensible.  I can connect to the VMs that are lit on ESX1 3, but as far as VCenter is concerned, they are not using any CPU or mem...

    Any help, ideas or whatnot would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you!

    a few other things you can try would be to shut down a virtual machine, remove from the inventory, then "add to the inventory.

    Buffer Cache Hit Ratio is the percentage of sql server pages requested and retrieved from the buffer cache without reading disc.

    It is not necessarily a problem. A way to increase the buffer Cache Hit Ratio might be to increase the memory on the virtual computer. If you feel that the performance is not a problem, you can modify the rule so that it is less than 90% so that the rule is triggered, but Microsoft recommends 90 + %.

    I can not connect to the server via the customer web vicenter.

    -esxi5.5

    -Win 2008 server1 (installed on AD)

    -Server2 Win 2008 joined to the domain, then I installed on: sso, inventory, customer web Vsphere and vcenter server service

    as you can see in the attached photos, when I double click on the client vsphere of wen I should be able to log on to the server vcenter, but I couldn't do it.

    do not forget that I logged Win 2008 server2 as a domain administrator, then I installed sso, inventory, customer web Vsphere and vcenter server service

    the WebClient service is runningand I tried https://server.example.com:9443 / vsphere client.

    There are more than two things, I noticed:

    -When I turned the web customer service I got the certificate error (see photo).

    -When I typed nslookup in the domain controller I got the error message.  web vsphere client error is related to the DNS error in the domain controller?

  • vCenter 5.5 | In case of disaster, lost database tries to upgrade, vCenter blue screen and now problems with vCenter rebuilt.

    There was a bug in vCenter 5.5 (go figure) where he tried to access a file in "C:\users" for some strange reason, she refused to install/configure SSO.  It took hours of VMWare support to force it to install by copying files autour in hand, trying to get the installer to recognize the file she needed to 'C\users '.

    Now, I have vCenter 5.5, with a new database and service WebClient is not configured correctly.  On the page where it asks to run under a local system account or a domain account, I've specified a domain account.  Well, the field is not the name of the server so I knocked on the server.local domain name FULL instead of the server's FULL domain name.  Now when I visit the URL of the web service client it says it cannot connect to vCenter he's trying to access the domain.local not server.domain.local.

    VMWare support tells me I have vCenter UNINSTALL and reinstall to fix.  This is ridiculous.  They try to tell me there is no other way to change this setting.  Are you kidding me?

    Ideas of the community?  VMWare help was very helpless in front of this whole situation.

    Thank you

    It turns out that this error during installation is created by the presence of one! my user name.  Support said they will include a fix for this in a future release.  They also said the errors generated during installation could be ignored.  Everything seems not to work regardless of errors generated during the installation process (simple installation).

    Original title: my drivers are slowly disintigrating.

    Hi, I have a Toshiba running Windows Vista.  Lately, the pilots were wrong.  My mouse driver is "undetectable", so I can't turn off the option to click the touchpad, and my printer driver not working or the other.  I tried to reinstall my printer software, and (even though I have administrator privileges on my login account), the driver will not be installed, indicating that it must be done by an administrator.  I have checked the computer of viruses and have found none.  What should I do to fix this?

    Best practices so that a VC Server VM on a host of multi with SAN storage environment must be available for the use of compatible hardware for VMotion or VCA VMotion.  If you do not have an environment that allow VCA to then I would say that the best practice is to have the VC server on a physical server - it can even be installed on XP.

  • Problem with convert to PDF from Excel without taking into account the layout and graphics/graphics

    I work with Excel files with graphics (clipart) and charts from the data on the worksheet. I use Excel 2007 and everything a year ago and a half downloaded the option "convert to PDF" on the Microsoft website. It has been working beautifully. In Excel, I've got a) set print area b) go to "adjust to a page" print preview can convert to PDF format and everything on the PDF page looked like exactly as it did in Excel print preview. It worked flawlessly...

    UNTIL...

    .. .the most recent "upgrades" have been installed. Now the menu reads, "Save as PDF or XPS" option and the PDF is a mess. Excel text comes out OK, but any graph or Excel charts will not resize itself, and are completely out of the page. For example, a chart that is supposed to be in the lower right corner must be resized in Excel, placed in the center of the worksheet, on the text and using this approach, resize, save a PDF routine about 50 times, and you can finally wrong PDF resembling the Excel worksheet. Of course, the Excel spreadsheet is totally messed up because you have to move the chart in the spreadsheet and it's a mess, not to mention a waste of time.

    I uninstalled the Converter Microsoft PDF and XPS, and then downloaded and installed the PDF Converter (alone). No luck. It's always a mess. My business is at a standstill until I get this sorted. Help, please!

    KFG

    There is a fix for this.  It is described in a strange article entitled ' Description of the fix Excel 2007 package (Excel-x - none.msp, Graph-x - none.msp, Xlview-x - none.msp): August 25, 2009 "located here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973402/

    Before installing, my PDF and XPS exporting from Excel had too much size images.  Now exports are correct, just like before the Service Pack.

    Unlike article, my patch was dated 13/10/2009, rather than 19/08/2009.

  • Problems with vCenter 5

    Hello together

    At the moment I am trying to run the latest version 5.0.2 against our vCenter Server 5. Unfortunately I jump an error for the mistake.

    H:\VMware\Scripts\HealthCheck > vmwarevSphereHealthCheck.pl - version

    vSphere SDK for Perl version: 5.0

    'VmwarevSphereHealthCheck.pl' script version: 5.0.2

    vCenter 5 build 455964

    Guests of ESXi 4.1 U2

    And I don't understand why I get this error:

    Cannot call method 'take' on a value not set in H:\VMware\Scripts\HealthCheck

    \vmwarevSphereHealthCheck.pl line 2540.

    I saw this line in the source code, but my knowledge around script isn't very good so... no idea!

    I would be really grateful for some tips

    Kind regards!

    Well, that's what I thought, looks like 'allowedHosts' is not defined, and this value is not always guaranteed to define (should have taken that earlier). Because that is not defined, take is not valid. I'll need to update the script

    In the meantime, you can make the following change to get through the script:

    {if (defined ($Rule-> allowedHosts))}

    {if ($Rule-> allowedHosts-> allIp)}
    $allowedIPs = 'all ';
    } else {}
    My $ipNetworks = $rule-> allowedHosts-> IPNAINAIMobile;
    {foreach(@$ipNetworks)}
    $allowedIPs. = $_-> network. "/" . $_-> LG. ", ";
    }
    }

  • Problem with Blu Ray DVD in Encore without Menus or subtitles

    Hey guys.  I have successfully converted my video and audio for my blu ray project, and I have an English subtitle track, and three menu pages.

    When I saw the project in Encore, the menus and subtitles appear perfectly.

    However, when I export the project to a folder of Blu Ray or Blu Ray picture (I don't have a Blu Ray burner) and play the movie from there, only the audio and the video are there.  There is no options to change the subtitles, and no menu is displayed, even if I put the first piece to be the main menu and not the timeline.

    Can someone help me with this please?  Thank you.

    It is upto the Player how he handles the navigation for the Blu - ray controls. Try using TMT or player software PowerDVD from Cyberlink.

  • Portege M700 - problem with Dynadock

    I can not change the resolution on a screen connected Dynadock and cannot save the display settings of all - how to fix this?

    I have a Portege M700 running Vista Professional SP1 - mainly the machine is used as a desktop replacement, connected to a screen Viewsonic 19 "wide through the Dynadock DVI - when it is connected so I have the laptop screen is off and use only the Viewsonic at a resolution of 1440 x 900. I had been bothered by the fact that whenever the resumption of the screensaver, the resolution would drop down to some lower State (I was not able to identify the dimensions he thought he was using but probably 1280 x 800, the default resolution of the internal display).

    I tried to solve this problem with the technical support level 3 without success. I thought I was smart and try to install the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver update that is located on the Intel Web site (if you're just trying to install this software, Vista won't let you, but if you unzip it and manually update the drivers it works). This resulted in the connected screen Dynadock is off completely - no signal! So I uninstalled the drivers, reinstalled the drivers Intel original, but now, I have no the ability to adjust the resolution on the Dynadock login screen - and it is defaulting to something that's not going to (too broad and not high enough)!

    I lived several cycles to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for the graphics card (Mobile Intel 965 chipset) and the Dynadock; I updated the drivers Dynadock with the latest download from the website of DisplayLink, tried all sorts of drivers for the monitors associated with DisplayLink, tried several restorations system (which have all failed, which was also quite disturbing but less than an immediate concern), etc. Through all this, there is absolutely no way to choose the correct resolution of the screen through the display properties (my choices are 800 x 600, 1024 x 768 and 1280 x 800), and even simply activate an additional screen translates to nothing happens - the new settings do not stay after hitting "Accept" or "OK". I thought that I had licked when I realized that I had to uncheck "Extend to this monitor box office" to screen internal laptop - indeed I was then able to choose 1440 x 900 for the Viewsonic and everything was good, but everything came back after reboot. Of course, now when I try to repeat, I am unable to uncheck this box not more for the internal screen (well, actually, I can uncheck, but when I hit "apply" or "OK" it simply gets selected again).

    All this comes after I spent weeks trying to get this machine to work with the port replicator, which also did not work - a problem that appears to be from an incompatibility with Vista display card drivers and the port replicator (would have been nice if it sales had told me that when I bought the thing, but I digress...)

    In any case, it seems, as it is a Vista problem, I've seen this question asked of other portable devices vista and displaylink other advice, but I know it's possible to have a working reasonably OK solution since I've had one before I went and it messed up trying to work perfectly. Serves me right for spend 3 k $ on a machine and expected that it works as described, I guess. If anyone has any ideas... my next step is probably a downgrade to XP Pro, and then if that does not work, I'm tempted to break into pieces. Or, if someone's figured out how to get the port replicator to work with a M700 Vista, which is actually a better option for me...

    Hello Tony

    It's a very long story, but I use Portege M700 with Dynadock DVI (PA3542Y1PRP) and have no problem at all. After reading your ad I tried changing all the display options and I didn t notice something strange. It works well.

    Read your ad I see you tried to install different things and I wonder not to have so many problems. The best solution for you is to install the new OS using recovery image. Do the clean install of OS and install later Dynadock Utility 2.3 c. be careful while installation is running and do not interrupt the procedure of facilities. Make sure that all software components are installed correctly.

    When you start installation Dynadock Utility Dynacock can not be connected. When you see the window where you will be asked to connect Audio device USB connect the Dynadock to the USB port of your favorite. I use the USB port on the back.

    I use the external display to monitor LCD 22 with a resolution of 1680 x 1050. In the settings screen is display number three and when I click on it I can set the resolution to the maximum level (native resolution). The image is perfect.

    I tried the same as you:
    -Set the external display as primary monitor (for computer laptop LCD was OFF)
    -J' have enabled screen saver and tested several times, but the resolution is always the same no changes at all the
    -With these settings, I rebooted the phone several times as well as the resolution was still the same no problem at all

    After reboot, I can see the image on the notebook LCD only, to the point where I have to write the password that I can see the same image on laptop LCD and external monitor. A few seconds later, the image is switched on external monitor only and it is the same thing you want to have. The resolution is the same again (native resolution). No change at all and all seems OK.

    At the end I've switched back to the LCD display only. It is also interesting to procedure. As a first step, you click on display number one and activate extended desktop. After that, you will be able to use the option to change the primary monitor. A little strange to me, but OK.

    So everything works well for me and for you I only see an option. Reinstall Vista, install new utility Dynadock (new installations) and test again.
    One last thing: do not connect Dynadock on different USB ports. Use always the same.

    Bye and good luck!
