• Problems with vSphere replication

  Hello

  Ive been with vSphere for about a week now and I'm faced with the logic of the replication tool V.

  I've been creeping (don't not trolling) forums and web trying to find a good source that can explain this plugin which is visible in my Web client installation method. I also license MORE.

  This is probably the only one I can find so far: -.

  http://vknowledge.NET/2012/09/12/vSphere-5-1-getting-started-with-vSphere-replication-5-1/

  What I want to achieve is to reproduce all the virtual machines on one of my servers to another identical server of the G8.

  Two questions if you could help please?

  1. someone any good tutorials on it.

  2. I went and made a schoolboy error, I think, I gave the vSphere replicaiton appliance the same IP address as my ESXi host. (This is how I am wrong) and now I can not access the host because of this machine. Can someone tell me how I can reconnect to this machine without a comprehensive resettlement and reconstruction of 50 guests or more.

  Thanks in advance if you can help.

  It is difficult to explain the internel operation of the SRM, vsphere replication etc... in this little time...

  the basics are simple... How it works... ?

  There are 2 types of replication replication 1-vsphere 2-array based replication

  vpshere replication is a basic agent - it's a VR agent will be there inside the esxi hosts this monitor of the agent running the virtual machine inside this host and replicates data binding if WAN remote site.

  the main PR\648606FR here is - once the replication of the entire virtual machine that's happened, after that only the blocks changed the VMFS will be launched on the... which is the only the modified virtual machine data will be replicated. It's called CBT, VR agent follows the blocks inside the VMFS, if any block of virtual machine data is changed it will get replicated.

  dosent it replication vsphere require no support from the underlying storage Bay...

  the second is the table of a function... where the entire replication is managed by the matrix of storage... and it works with the MRS.

  See the post for more details... http://communities.VMware.com/message/2175005#2175005

  now to your questions.

• Problem with vSphere license

  I am trying to add a license to a free vSphere installation 5.1 and I see this error message. My Dell R710 server has 72G RAM, 2 x 1 TB and 2 x 6-Core 5660 2.80 Hz CPU.

  I have attached the log. Any help will be appreciated!

  Thank you

  With vSphere 5.0, VMware is launching a policy which limited the maximum physical memory on a host or a cluster, according to licenses "vRAM". For the free hypervisor maximum was 32GB. This political vRam has been deleted again with vSphere 5.5 (see for example KB VMware: VMware vSphere 5.5 license and/or Update vRAM political). I'm not sure if policy has also been removed from the earlier 5.x version with the latest patches!

• Problem with OpenManage integration for vCenter - OMSA status: update required

  Hello

  We have a problem with the configuration of OpenManage integration on a vSphere 5.5 U2 Cluster. We have deployed IMO for vCenter v 2.3.0 build 290 aircraft, and we have installed manually OMSA VIB v7.4.0.2 on our 5.5. U2 ESXi hosts.

  The question we face is respect for vSphere host - when we start the Wizard "Fix Non compliant vSphere Host" it displays the correct version of the OMSA - 7.4.0.2 but OMSA status is "required update".

  Whe test us the connection to hosts using "Test the connection profile", it hangs at 0% and will be never finished.

  Also in the OpenManage integration in vSphere Client "Frimware" tab option is grayed out.

  Please indicate how we can make this work?

  Concerning

  Milan

  Well, I did some research more and found that ESXI 5.5 U1 and U2 don't are not supported by OMSA right now.

  FTP://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_software/esuprt_virt_solutions/Dell-Mgmt-plugin-for-VMware-Center-2.3_Release%20Notes_en-us.PDF

  ESXi 5.5 U1 and U2 are supported only for the OMIVV on the servers of 12th and 13th generation who are capable of out-of-band management and require no OMSA must be installed on the host system. We intend to add a supported of the OMSA version at a later date.

• Problems with vSphere 6.0 and IIS 8.5

  Hi all

  
  We have a very rare problem currently with IIS on a new version of vSphere 6.0.  We run 3 host ESX enterprise in a standard cluster with a standalone VCSA.

  The problems that we know are response times in IIS.  We lack an asp.net web application using ado.net to extract simple data sets in a cluster SQL from 2012.  The web server running Windows Server R2 with IIS 8.5.9600.16384 2012.  It comes to virtualized.  Our SQL servers are also running on Windows Server 2012 R2, but this is a physical cluster.  All components are updated running the latest windows patches, fixes vmware, etc.

  We have tried to limit the problem using wireshark, we noticed that speeds improved dramatically when running wireshark.  We have finally pinned it down to the NETWORK card is in promiscuous mode - mode "Promiscuous", web response times app are sub 100ms, and when we disable the promiscuous mode, response time pop up to 4 + seconds.

  I found a few articles that might put this question of vSphere RARP and NLB in unicast mode, but we do not use NLB on any of these servers, and many of our tests were performed on servers IIS "standalone".

  Someone encountered this problem before, and anyone has pointers?

  Thank you

  It looks exactly like the problem that is described in this thread:

  vmxnet3 adapter on windows server 2012 with problem of bottleneck for MSSQL Server

  You also use the vmxnet3 vNIC?

  If yes are trying one of these workarounds mentioned in the other thread (I'd go with LRO to start, do not forget to restart):

  E1000E use instead of vmxnext3

  Use jumbo frames (not really good for us but can be one good option for others...)

  Disable the LRO on a VMXNET3: enable or disable LRO on VMXNET3 adapter on a Windows Virtual Machine

  Turn on LRO overall on a Windows Virtual Machine

• Problem with vSphere

  Hello everyone

  I have a 2003 Server virtualized. mounts on vSphere ESXi 5.0.0

  I moved a drive to a virtual machine (so a hard) on a free data store: http://oi62.Tinypic.com/swelaa.jpg

  the problem is that the data store 1 (up arrow) is empty, when in fact there are 880 GB of hard (arrow in the middle).

  the same way I can't enlarge the hard content in the data store that has emerged at the same time: http://oi58.Tinypic.com/2yyd16p.jpg

  the maximum capacity in the red box was the same even before the transfer.

  What can I do?

  Please select the host in the vSphere Client and go to 'Storage' in the 'Configuration' tab select each of data warehouses, and click the "Refresh" link in the upper right to see if that changes anything.

• Problems with vSphere 4.1 u1

  We recently put the 4.1 vSphere u1 patch and it seems that the script is having a hard time getting all the stats in our VMware environment. I run the script by using the credentials that have administrator rights, so he should have access to see everything. Yet when I run the report I only end up seeing the licenses, features, permissions, sessions, plugins and settings of VPX. (ie: everything on the first two tabs of the report.) I don't see anything for 3rd party apps tabs, cluster, host or virtual machines.

  For my versions:

  $./vmwarevSphereHealthCheck.pl--version

  vSphere SDK for Perl version: 4.1
  'VmwarevSphereHealthCheck.pl' script version: 4.1.9

  I have also re-uploaded the script this morning to ensure that I had later and was always a problem.

  Any idea of what this could be the cause?

  If it's not too much to ask, would it be possible to remove this empty cluster at the moment? I've tested w/empty code clusters, so it should not affect something but just trying to figure out what could be the cause of the problem.

• Problems with vSphere install

  VM experts! : P

  I am very new to VM and unfortunately am responsible for getting ESX4 vSphere4 running on a slide in our chassis HP C3000. So, I installed vSphere4 and encountered some difficulties. First of all, there are four available within the chassis NIC (2 built-in, 2 via a mezzanine card)

  I have configured the Service Console with an IP address in the subnet that the NETWORK card is attached to (10.100.1.180) and the strange thing is that from the ESX console I ping some IP addresses on the same subnet as 10.100.1.105 we are going to say, but not 10.100.1.50. ICMP is enabled on devices, so it is not a firewall simply disabling echo answers.

  Including a screen capture of the screen of networking within vSphere for reference...

  I think that it probably has to do with the configuration of your circuit.  I use Virtual Connect modules, but if I read right then GbE2c modules are leaving entire switches.  In this case, I'm guessing that you have shared resources on GbE2c ports modules.  If Yes, then you MUST use IP balancing hash.  It is not intuitive, but here the rule of load balancing:

  If the switch can use any port in the trunk to return data to the virtual computer, you MUST set the hash IP load balancer.

  If the switch will not only associate one active port in the trunk with the MAC address of the computer virtual both (based on the configuration of your switch load balancing), then you SHOULD NOT Load Balancing IP hash value.

  So, try setting the hash IP balancing and let me know.

• Foglight for virtualization 7.0 Standard Edition Compatiibility problems with vSphere 5.5

  Hello

  I couldn't understand how just after to the Foglight for virtualization forum, so I apologize for this post being in the wrong place.

  I have the Foglight 7.0 Standard edition and I'm unable to see virtual machines on the hosts of a new vCenter Instance I added to Foglight.

  I have enough licenses and the hosts appear in the inventory, but if you hover over one of the new hosts attribute 'State' reads "Not responding" and appear any of the virtual machines in the cluster.

  Any ideas as to what could go wrong or what I would have been able to hurt?

  Thanks in advance.

• problem with credentials named during the agent deployment

  Hi gurus.

  Yesterday, I have deployed an agent on a host of test server and it worked like a charm.

  Except that...

  I used the oratest user under the name of credentials... This meant (I think) that when it came to detect different targets on the host to monitor, OEM could not see that those who belonged to oratest (couldn't see oratest database).

  It was not ideal because it is has several databases I want to monitor on this server.

  So I uninstalled everything and now trying to deploy an agent once again, using this https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/install.121/e22624/install_agent.htm#EMBSC184

  However, I am now stuck on the choice of a credential named... which user should I choose for this? I need to create a separate, "oem" user to do all this? I'm not even sure that the choice of the user oratest was a mistake... I'm more than a little confused and would appreciate some advice kindly.

  Version: 12.1.0.4.0

  RHEL 6.5

  Thank you

  ALL THE:

  I learned that in addition to plugins, make sure (for the discovery of the db) that your Oracle home must be located in the oratab

  In addition, if you have sort of a default location for your listener.or according to the $TNS_ADMIN, then it must be placed in your agent owner bash_profile.

• VRO integration problem 7 with vSphere 6 WebClient

  Hello

  I've recently updated to vShere 6 (6.0 U1), I created a new (7.0.1) vRo device and imported all the workflows of vCO 5.5. The vRO device works well, but it is a question of integration with the web client. I followed the workflows to add the extension to the web client, and they have successfully completed.

  Security (attack of POODLE and other) reasons vRO 7.0.1 has TLSv1 Protocol disabled by default. So if a client application like Web Client tries to open a connection using TLSv1, it will be rejected.

  There are 2 possible workaround:

  • The first option is to configure the Web Client to use TLSv1.2 or TLSv1.1 outbound connections. I don't have the exact procedure to do by hand. I think it is intended to solve this problem in vSphere 6.0U2 but I don't know what happened.
  • The second option is to configure the vRO server to accept connections TLSv1. To do this, connect the unit to the vRO, open the file /etc/vco/app-server/server.xml for editing and change the attribute:

      sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2"
  

  with

      sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2"
  

  After that, you will need to restart the vRO service for the changes to take effect, with the following Linux command:

   service vco-server restart
  

• Problems with having a Remote Host for the server vCenter Server vSphere?

  Hello

  We have a single vSphere Host located in the United Kingdom and a host vSphere cluster type 3 in France. I plan to add the vSphere Host UK to the France of vCenter Server.

  Does anyone know of any problem with the addition of a vSphere Host of a vCenter Server that is in a remote site rather than on the local network?

  See you soon

  Vince

  I put my vCenter without problems. Just keep in mind not to create a cluster with 2 teams who are on different nodes. Only you can manage the remote ESX host
