• Virtualize vCenter and patching ESX hosts

  I have a host two cluster HA with VSphere Essentials Plus, so no vMotion. (I know... good budget restrictions). It's a whole new infrastructure, so I only have a VM... my vCenter server running on host 1 (config) supported in a small size like mine environment

  I use VUM patch my ESX host that requires that the guests of had no VM and be in maintenance mode.

  The problem: How can I migrate my virtual vCenter server to my other host in order to set the host mode of maintenance and patch 1 (requires a vCenter runs).

  My thought: two guests can see the LUNS for the vCenter server. I think I can go into host 1, power off the virtual machine and then remove from the inventory. Then, I'm going to host 2, browse the store of data LUN and ADD it to its inventory. Is this correct? If so, what file in the data store can I connect to the host (vmx, vmdk, etc.)

  Thank you.

  Yes, it will work, but you will need to attach the base to a host at a time line.  You would add to inventory the .vmx

  Or use the command line

• vCenter on an ESX host that it manages...

  vCenter is on its own server outside the farm of ESX servers, or is it a good idea to put it on one of the virtual machines on an ESX host, that he himself is the management?

  For example, if we have set up a HA cluster, which includes the vCenter vm... and the ESX host fails at the hardware level, another host will turn upward from vCenter virtual machine?

  Virtualize vCenter is a common configuration and supported. No problems with the DRS and HA.

• hosts mixed esx 3.5 and older new vsphere with vcenter 4.1 esx hosts. Need advice please.

  Hello, I have an existing the vcenter server install managing two esx 3.5 hosts. The vcenter is version 2.5.0.x. I want to manage my new hosts of vsphere 4.1 esxi through the vcenter. I would check that if I improve my vcenter 2.5.0 for the last version vcenter Server required for the 4.1 that I will be able to manage my old esx 3.5 hosts? Will be an upgrade inplace vcenter 2.5.0.x support now the license server in place or I will have to manually install this after? Thanks for any info. Doug Dorbuck

  You can mange ESX 3.x host with vCenter 4.x - you can't manage ESX 4.x, vCenter 2.x hosts

  I think that in a place of upgrade will keep the license server - otherwise you will need to reinstall the server-licensing

  It is either a problem with the network configuration or there is a firewall blocking some ports.

• Cannot connect esx host or vcenter server via powercli (cannot run the cmdlet Connect-VIServer)

  Dear team,

  Once I opened powercli windows, I m unablwe to connect the ESX host or vcenter server, it gives me the following error... Help, please

  

  concerning

  Mr. VMware

  Hello, MrVmware9423-

  It seems that this may have to do with the .NET Framework is installed on the computer on which you run PowerShell/PowerCLI.  Take a look at http://communities.vmware.com/message/2174319 - users have been able to solve the problem with a newer version of the .NET Framework (v2, installed v3.5 - success).

  Because your problem seem (you use a? 2 version of .NET, and you're able to install a newer version)?

• Determine which user added an ESX host to vCenter

  I'm trying to figure out if there is anyway to determine which user has added a vCenter ESX host using the api.  I don't see this information as any sort of property of the host object.  Any help would be appreciated!

  Paul

  You can retrieve this and other events by using the event manager and the queryEvents() - http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.wssdk.apiref.doc_50%2Fvim.event.EventManager.html

  There is no property associated with a host ESX (i) on which the user added to vCenter and since it seems that you are interested in a specific host ESX (i), which can help narrow down the query.

  Attached, that is, remove / add a vSphere SDK for Perl script that will return the user who added the host to vCenter, you should get a response because it uses the Ref object managed the host ESX (i) and that changes each time you have.

  Here is an example of course:

  ./findUserAddHost.pl--serveur root vcenter50-4 - vihost - vesxi50 - 3.primp username - industries.com
  Enter the password:
  added root host vesxi50 - 3.primp - industries.com to datacenter datacenter2

  This KB is to reinstall ESX host agents.

  first of all, you should check if compatible your host with the version of vcenter.

  It check the archive attached.

• Best method to move vCenter VM to another ESX host?

  Update Manager has refused to allow us to stage an update for our ESX host our vCenter VM running on. So we have to move the other host our vCenter ESX just update this ESX host. But as we use vSphere Standard that does not come with vMotion and storage vMotion, we must stop vCenter and make a manual transfer.

  Did you guys a better method to do that in order to copy files from local storage ESX VM vCenter to the PC running the VI Client on and then copy the file vCenter VM from the PC to the local storage of the other local ESX storage? Because we do not have a usable for the moment SAN storage.

  BTW, we tried Storage vMotion with the year evaluation license last to move vCenter and it failed.

  We use mainly use the converter for the conversion or 'movement' of VMs from one region to the other because it is a GUI based process.  We have quite a few movements/conversions per week, so we have standardized on the converter.  If we have problems with converter (several failures, etc.) we will perform a dorsal scp of the actual VM files.  I agree that this method is faster, but in our case, we did not want to open the console for jobs like that, it seemed a more dangerous process from the console (deleting files etc...).  We used the converter to convert physical movement to virtual, virtual virtual clone, convert virtual from one version to another (workstation to esx for example).  I also like that the sysprep process can be automated in the process, but also some virtual machine configurations.  If we say PCS had a virtual machine to another location and we created a clone in the new location, we would have to scp, starting the virtual machine and then treat the sysprep (Windows) and rename, configuring ip etc...

• A server Vcenter 4.1.0 coexist with 5.1.1 ESX hosts

  Hello

  I was planning on upgrading my VMware environment, but I just noticed that my vcenter server running 4.1.0 is enough CPU to run 5.1.

  Is it still possible to upgrade my hosts to 5.1.1 so that I can use the latest etc. operating systems or this will cause my unstable environment.

  any advice is greatly appericated.

  Thank you

  vCenter 4.1 can not handle 5.1 ESX hosts.

  First vCenter Server must be upgraded to 5.1 and then upgrade hosts to 5.1. So that vCenter can manage the hosts in full transparency.

• How to find VCenter which manages the ESX host

  Hi all

  Is it possible to query ESX host using API to determine if it is autonomous or managed host and if it's a managed - what VCenter (name, IP address) actually runs it. I know it's easy to VCenter query to find all the hosts its handles, but I need to go the other way.

  Thank you

  Yes, you can query for the http://vijava.sourceforge.net/vSphereAPIDoc/ver5/ReferenceGuide/vim.host.Summary.html managementServerIp if defined, then it is managed by a server vCenter Server, this is the only information on the vCenter Server and assuming you have DNS, you can get the FULL of the IP domain name

• Disconnection of the VCenter ESX host

  Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem.  I have an installation of VMWare VCenter and 4.1 ESX servers.  Periodically, one of my ESX hosts will lose just login to the VCenter server and I need to re-add.  The host still pings, does not actually lose network connectivity or I receive an alert.  I've been searching newspapers with no luck yet.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  good things!  Glad to see you go it is resolved

• How to add an ESX host licensed to vCenter (vShpere4.1)

  Currently licensed for: 3 guests (Advanced vShpere 4)

  Ok.. so, I have vCenter upwards and in the course of execution, have created my 'cluster' with two hosts. I have an ESX host 3rd I was using mode "assessment" within 60 days.

  This 60-day period was close that expires so I moved and the 3rd license added to this 3rd host.

  I would now like to bring this host to vCenter, for my 'sandbox network' and not actually add it to the 'cluster' so that I can run everything a customer.

  Now, it is said that I am unable to bring this host to vCenter, as it says that I don't have a license.

  So, how can I go on the withdrawal of the license, or get this host (already licensed) in vCenter?

  Or do I have to start from scratch and reload this bare metal esx host to return to Mode Eval?

  Since it's vShpere, there is "No license server" by not telling.

  Licensing vCenter says that 'two' licenses during the third host is the 3rd license already.

  Any help appreciated.

  By the way... I have searched for hours on forums, web sites, etc., with no clear solution.

  Thank you

  Howard

  Interesting,.

  of your screen grabs, it definitel; appears as if you have only 2 licenses - as stated above, however, if your license covers only 6 processors, you could have used the additional licenses on them.

  It is really worth to check that, and if it is not the case, get your hands on VMware and ask why the additional licesnse does not appear in your portal.

• Mobile to a new server vCenter ESX host

  Hello.

  For several reasons (including the old server vCenter 2003 x 86) I would like to move our ESX host to a new server vCenter (version 4.1 under Windows 2008 R2). Our ESX environment using HA/DRS and resource pools.

  Is it possible to move the hosts to the new server without VM downtime?

  I think disabling HA/DRS and then disconnect the old vCenter servers, then adding them to the new. That would be possible, or is there a better way?

  And second, that things are lost that kind of operation? Data of performance and resources with Betclic, another?

  / Christian

  Hey there,

  The procedure is very simple:

  -Disable HA host monitoring

  -Disconnect the old vCenter host

  -Remove old vCenter host

  -Add the host to the new vCenter Server

  -You will be weather you are prompted to add all of the resources of the host with Betclic under a live of... the list resources or put all your VMS in pool root of the pole. Select them grafted in... so you can keep your resource pools. You can move the autour pools in the hierarchy on the new vCenter.

  -After you have moved all of your hosts, you can activate HA host followed once again and check that the DRS has the settings you want.

  You lose well obviously all performance data, but you can bring your pools of resources for the new vCenter.
