• Problems with virtual center/vsphere client

  Hello

  We use Vsphere client 4.0.0 build 208111 with Virtual Center Server version and same build.

  I have 2 problems:

  1. I have a virtual machine with only one disc that is shown on 2 different data stores. If I look through the models and virtual computers, I see only 1 vm. If I look through the data warehouse screen, I see it in the store data-002 and 003-store data. If I go to the settings of the virtual machine on the datastore-002 and check the disk, I see the path in the store of data-003.

  How can I fix?

  2. I turned on a windows 2003 vm. I couldn't close it via customer vpshere because the status of VM Tools showed not running. When I logged in the system, he showed OK and then I could close by the customer.

  Do I always login for virtual machine tools to perform?

  Thank you

  This virtual machine has a CD / ISO mounted?  What happens if you click edit setting on the virtual machine, that says the file of the disk?

  Also, go to the service console and watching a .vmx file, it should say something like

  scsi0:1.fileName = "servername.vmdk"
  

  Then look at the hard, it should point to something like

   VMFS "servername-flat.vmdk"

• ESX 3.5 U3 with Virtual Center Update 4 questions?

  Does anyone know of any problems with combining ESX U3 with Virtual Center U4?

  Is - this bad idea?

  I'm getting errors when the network configuration "request failed because the remote server has taken too long to respond" I don't know if its network related or associated with mixing ESX 3.5 U3 with VCenter U4.

  Ideas or comments please.

  Thank you

  Yes, this client was running ESX 3.5 U3 with VC 2.5 U4.  Only, they began their upgrade to vSphere, but prior had run several host ESX 3.5 U3 with VC 2.5 U4 for more than 6 months without any problem you describe.

  the first step is to upgrade you its modules and vCenter Server.  ESX4.1 must be managed by vCenter4.1

• VMWare Virtual Center 2.5 update 3 management ESX v3.5 Update 4 and 5 guests

  I'm doing an audit of versions of VMWare and it seems that our cluster hosts are running a later update version as the virtual center server. Virtual Center 2.5 update 3 management ESX v3.5 Update 4 and 5 guests.

  Does anyone know if this causes problems. This has been the case since before I started and there seems to be no negative effect I see.

  Don't want to update virtual center update 5 as we plan to upgrade to vSphere, shortly.

  you are in a supported configuration, so you should be fine

  http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vSphere4/R40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.PDF

  However, with more agents on new hosts, you can see some are disconnects/no response errors for your hosts in vCenter.  In general, I would like to have my instance of vCenter to or superior to the latest version of ESX.

• Update of ESX4 without virtual center or Update Manager

  Hello

  I use a 1 host configuration, where Virtual Center is installed as a virtual machine. I understand that this is not "best practice". Our host in a data center and rack space is limited for us. Anyway, how we would update ESX in this environment? Virtual Center being a virtual machine, it will have to be stopped to host clean up the updates. We cannot provide a physical box at present to perform Virtual Center. Is there therefore a non Virtual Center / Update Manager ESX update mode?

  Thanks as always...

  Unfortunately, it will not work with ESX - because updates are done differently. Each update in ESXi update the firmware to the previous version, while in ESX each patch is added to the ESX operating system.

  The download link of the last update is here - https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/OFFLINE/release-166-20091202-254879/ESX-4.0.0-update01a.zip

  You will have to powerdown your VMS put your host in maintenance mode - install the patch

• The upgrade of the Virtual Center 2 update 4 update?

  I am currently running ESXi on IBm blades and they are running version 3i, 3.5.0 Update 2

  We have Virtual Center 3.5 Update 2 installed as well.

  We seek to improve our 3i to 4 upgrade ESX and Virtual Center.  I was looking through the upgrade guide, but there wasn't this listed scenario.

  My plan was to:

  Take c and inplace upgrade of the Virtual Center Update 2 to 4 update server

  VMotion invited out of one of our blades, then update the blade and bring guests.

  Am I missing something?  Are there documents more precise that lists how should I do this?

  seems good... Just get a full backup of your DB vCenter before starting.

  The Upgrade Guide can be helpful as well.

  Also, VMware tools for your guest will require an upgrade as well.

• How to upgrade virtual center

  My virtual centre is a bit back on updates because I don't know how to do it.  I just need to download it from the website and install the update?  If so, can I just install the last update or should I install the updates in order?  I've updated ESX to the last update, is that going to cause a problem with the virtual center update?

• Virtual Center Server not joined to a domain

  The environment is ESX 3.5 update 5 and Virtual Center Server 2.5 update 5.

  My question is; Virtual Center Server 2.5 can be installed on a W2003 server that is not joined to a domain?

  If the installation is possible what are the disadvantages and consequences?

  At a later date, the server can be attached to a field and Virtual Center updated accordingly? Thanks,-Jeff

  My question is; Virtual Center Server 2.5 can be installed on a W2003 server that is not joined to a domain?

  Yes.

  If the installation is possible what are the disadvantages and consequences?

  Depends on if you are using ad groups / users to connect to vcenter.  Otherwise, you must use local accounts for vCenter to provide user access to your vCenter cluster.  Adding the vCenter in the field would facilitate this in the future add / secure users.

  and Yes, you can join vCenter to the domain at any time, but it requires a reboot...

  Files/etc/vmware/config the ESX host contain the lines:

  prefvmx.consolidateDeleteNFSLocks = "TRUE" authd.proxy.vpxa - nfc = "vmware - vpxa:vpxa - nfc.

  Authd.proxy.vpxa - nfcssl = ' vmware - vpxa:vpxa - nfcssl.

  ------------------------------------

  This problem occurs when a carriage return is missing from/etc/vmware/config. To resolve this issue, go to edit/etc/vmware/config:

  1 make a backup of this file from the path - / etc/vmware/config, by running the following command:

  CP/etc/vmware/config/var/tmp /.

  prefvmx.consolidateDeleteNFSLocks = 'TRUE '.
