• 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.

• problem with vCenter Server 4.0 Update 1

  I have ower vCenter Server 4.0 Update 1 upgrade in December, somehow the version number is not right.

  The build number of the show is always 208111 if I trie to reinstall the update 1 only, I can completely uninstall the vCenter Server.

  So, the update seems to be installed anyway nor 100% corectly.

  The vCenter Server Loggenerator also shows me the 208111 build.

  Because of this I also can't update the last Patch1 for Update Manager.

  Way to go VMware... I love how just release notes say "run Setup". Of course, it was all buried a few deep records, not at the root of the zip file.

• Problem with VCenter server on VM - how to upgrade the host

  Hello.

  I have VM on VCenter.

  I can't update the host with patches critical host because he can not enter maintenance mode.

  Is it possible to do this?

  Thank you

  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.

• vCenter Server Service does not start after P2V

  Hello community.

  A problem that I have not been able to solve and looking for help.

  Problem:

  vCenter Server Service does not start after that Windows Server was P2V would be.  We get an ERROR 2 of the Service.  Get the error of the system Windows 7024 event log.

  History:

  The client, I currently work with that tries to smash to the high location of the DEV VCENTER.  Location of DEV vcenter works now all for this site (domains, dns and all development servers).  If its VCENTER PRODUCTION of this location.  Currently, SQL Server (dedicated to vCenter), VCENTER and SSO are all sitting on the same box.  Let's break the SSO, SQL and VCENTER in their own servers.  However, the client wants to re - use the current physical server for SQL Server.  So I need P2V physical server existing until I can start the new environment.

  I was able to get all of the services working on the virtual vCenter (SQL, SSO, Update Manager etc etc) but have been unable to get the real vCenter Server Service works.  Fails every time with the 2 ERROR Code.  I was unable to get a KB of VMWARE item that corresponds to the issue I'm having.  ERROR 2 code has many articles and none have worked.

  Details:

  vCenter 5.1 Build 799731

  SQL 2008 R2

  Windows 2008 R2

  When the vCenter Service tries to start it will stop at the 50% mark and gives this error: (I removed the names for security reasons)

  Windows could not start the VMware VirtualCenter server on <server name>. For more information, see the system event log.  If it is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor and refer to service 2-specific error code

  When I saw the Windows system event log I get this error:

  EVENT ID: 7024

  The VMware VirtualCenter Server service stopped with the error special service that the system cannot find the specified file...

  When I go through the vpxd log file I see this at the end of the newspaper: (I removed the names for security reasons)

  2013-12 - T 03, 16: 09:17.353 - 05:00 [info 09168 "Default"] forcing of VMware VirtualCenter stop now

  I pulled the virtual machine in a laboratory and all network problems that would be removed to isolate.  Now the VCENTER is shouting at this topic it can't find one of its guests in the vdxp log, but that shouldn't matter.  All Services have been changed for local accounts.  All network and ODBC parameters are able to see the server... aka the server can see.  I didn't remove any software or drivers for the VM (techniques it is my third P2V to the same server for testing reasons)... And the only thing that won't start is always VCENTER SERVER... SSO is started, SQL is launched...

  Also everything remained the same on the virtual machine (DNS, IP, NAME etc etc). Stop the physical and start-up it upward don't show any problems.  Only when its summer P2V would have done that themselves.

  I can't get this number.  Need help.

  Thoughts?

  Thank you

  BostonTechGuy

  In this case, we have finished rebuilding the vCenter and all migrate on.  Wish had better put up-to-date, but ultimately, it's what has been done.

• can restore us a vcenter Server inventory using vpxd.cfg only

  can restore us a vcenter Server inventory using vpxd.cfg only

  problem: restoring Vcenter server using vpxd.cfg file only

  No, you can't, vCenter inventory information is saved in vCenter database and not in vpxd.cfg.

  vpxd.cfg is the only configuration file for vCenter

• VCenter Server locking user AD

  I have a very strange problem with VCenter Server... it seems that it is storing my domain user name and the OLD password somewhere (probably the account I used to install it in the first place).  Since I got an AD username dedicated to use (some pwd) then reinstalled VCenter (maintenance of the database) so all services use the new AD account.  The problem is that as soon as I changed my password to AD, vpxd began locking on my account in a minute or two.  I assured that vpxd and vctomcat using the new domain user.  I assured that the login credentials/odbc connection also uses the new user... but he still has my old user SOMEWHERE  I suspect it must be in the database (or forbidden dog in an ini file) because it is not in the registry.

  Anyone have any ideas?  I certainly got a few gray hairs out of it.

  Did you by chance recorded Update Manager, converter, or any other plug-ins with vCenter vCenter service using your AD account?

  You have a session of Terminal Server inactive or disconnected on the vCenter Server services that you connected before , you have changed your password?

• VCenter Server first to 5.5.0U3b update and later update of VMware ESXi ESX / will I have problems?

  Hello

  have trouble when I first updated my signature single vCenter Server and later update my vSphere hosts?

  A vCenter Server Version 5.5.0U3b should be able to manage vSphere Host Version 5.5.0 GA, right?

  Kind regards

  Roland

  The vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 b can manage VMware ESXi ESX release GA to 5.5 5.5 update 3 b, take a look: VMware product interoperability Matrices

  BUT, according to the interoperability matrices and vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 release notes, VMware strongly recommends you upgrade your hosts to 5.5 update 3 b, see:

  What's new

  • Update Support for the SSLv3 Protocol is disabled by default
    Note: In your vSphere environment, you must update vCenter Server vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 b before the update to 5.5 ESXi ESXi update 3 b. vCenter Server will not be able to manage 3B ESXi 5.5 update, if you update ESXi before update vCenter Server to version 5.5 update 3 b. For more information about the sequence in which vSphere environments must be updated, see KB 2057795.

  • VMware strongly recommends you update ESXi hosts to ESXi 5.5 update 3 b management of vCenter Server 5.5 updated 3B.

  VMware does not recommend the reactivation of SSLv3 because of the vulnerability of POODLE. If all you must enable SSLv3, you must activate the SSLv3 Protocol for all components. For more information, see

  KO 2139396

  • Resolved issues. This version of vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 b solves the problems that have been documented in the resolved issues section.

• Having problems setting up a 5.5 vCenter Server VM in a domain configuration...

  I'm trying to implement a vCenter Server VM (new installation, no upgrade) without an Active Directory domain that is available.  I was able to do this successfully in the past with 5.0 and 5.1, but now with 5.5 I have problems.

  Installing SSO works fine and displays warnings expected that the server is not on a domain and the certificate will be bound to the INVESTIGATION period.

  When I then try to run Setup from the inventory Service, it fails when you try to connect to the SSO:

  "Could not connect to vCenter Single Sign On.  Make sure that the Search Service URL points correctly to the vCenter Single Sign On the instance that you installed.  If vCenter Single Sign-On is installed with an IP address, make sure that the IP address is specified in the URL.

  5.0 and 5.1, in order to get this installation runs correctly, I would like to enter the IP address in the URL (as it says in the error), and he'd be fine.  So the address provided for the Research Service URL is https://< ip_address >: 7444/lookupservice/sdk

  I tried several variants for the fields of FULL domain name and URL of the Service search without success.

  Can someone confirm a successful for 5.5 off-field installation?  And if so, try to direct me in the right direction?

  I end up doing work, it turned out to be an order of operations issue.

  I tried to install SSO, then service inventory, then Web Service, then vcenter Server.  And on a domain, this order actually worked well.  For some reason any, when not on a domain, they must go SSO-> Web Service-> Service-> vCenter Server inventory (this command works in both scenarios, just to be clear).

• I have big problems... Lost my vCenter Server

  I am running 5.0 ESXi and vCenter 5.0.

  Shortly after correction of some problems I had today in my cards virtual switches and virtual, everything appeared to be great until the... All of a sudden my vSphere Vcenter server went down.  Problem is that my vCenter server is a virtual machine.

  I have no access to the console of vCenter.  In ESX 4, you can use the Web Interface to connect to a host and manage the virtual machine from here.  In ESX 5 you can't (at least that I know)...

  I need to connect to my vSphere and vCenter to consider the issue.  Now, I can't ping the server vCenter.

  This is essential because the Server servers that are on the same host are also unavailable.

  Thank you

  You can use the vSphere Client to connect directly to a host, unless you have activated the "Lockdown" Mode

• Problems after installing vCenter has 5.1 - no vCenter Server found

  Sorry, I'm new to this and I'm having a problem installing vCenter 5.1 has on Windows Server 2008 R2 by using the simple installation.  After completing the installation without mistakes, I starts the Web Client vSphere, connect and it comes up with no vCenter server and a message that says "to get started installation is a vCenter Server system or permission to access an existing vCenter Server system.  I'm on my 4th time well and it is consistent in the result, so I figure I should ask.

  If it's important, Windows Server is not a member of Active Directory, DNS works forward and reverse, I tried the IP address and FQDN name.

  I don't know where to be troubleshooting it.  It is my first installation of vCenter. I checked all the services, and they are running.

  I watched some log files and it seems pretty clear that something is trying to talk about something and is to be rejected, but I have no idea why.

  Anyone have any suggestions?

  Thank you

  During the simple installation of vCenter Server 5.1 method, it will first install the SSO part. During this part, you will be asked to create a password for a user called admin@system-domain. Please note that this user is only for the management of permissions within the standards body. That's why you can't see any instance of vCenter SSO. After completing the installation of SSO, the vCenter Server installation will be lauch. During the installation, the wizard will ask you about the password previously configured for the admin@system-domain user, enter it, and then click Next.

  Second, on the next prompt you should enter a global domain, user, or a local group who will be recognized by the SSO as vCenter Administrator service. Then complete the installation. In the end, make sure the "SSL Port" under the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ADAM_VMwareVCMSDS\Parameters registry key is REG_DWORD with a decimal value of 636.

  See: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1023864

  After that, open the vSphere Client or the webclient service, enter your vCenter Server server's FULL domain name and and a name/password user (domain\username), which has permission such vCenter administrator mentioned in part II.

  I hope this helps.

  Kind regards.

• Upgrade from vCenter Server 4 to vCenter 5 problems

  I am trying to improve our server vCenter for ESXi 4.1 5. I ran the pre-upgrade and he reported no problems. After you have started the server vCenter 5 install received a message that it could not solve the COMPLETE computer domain name. I was connected under my auto (domain administrators) and could ping a domain FULL of my laptop. Is this an error message to the stop.

  Then the installation wouldn't let me select the use of the local system for the Server service account. We have SQL 2008 installed on the server by using domain connections. At this point, I stopped the installation. Do I have to create a new domain account for the service and add it to SQL with SA privileges?

  I have the downtime scheduled for this Monday finish the upgrade of our vCenter Server.

  Todd lemmiksoo

  I recently came across the error "could not resolve field FULL of computer name", and which has proved to be a wrong PTR record in the reverse lookup zone. If there is an incorrect or missing PTR record, which could lead to this error.

  You can consult the VMware Virtual Center Server service on your existing installation of vCenter to see which account is used on the tab log now? If it is not currently using the Local System account, you may need to use the account specified on the screen during the upgrade. If now it uses the Local System account, I don't know what to tell you on this subject.

• problems to install the latest plugin from vcenter server 5.0.0.149 on the vco 4.1.1 build 733.

  I have problems to install the latest plugin from vcenter server 5.0.0.149 on the generation of vco 4.1.1 733.

  If I go to the plugins tab I see vCenter Server 5.0.0.149 Installation OK

  I configured a host esx to vCenter Server tab, but as soon as I click on 'Apply' it starts to load forever.

  I tried to restart the server vco and vco configuration services, but the problem remains unchanged. In the server.log I couldn't find anything relevant, but it is still attatched

  Hello!

  Try increasing the memory for the configurator web-tool, as described in the release notes:
