Reset the system configuration resets the lock for disabled mode?

The host runs ESXi 4.1. I activated the lock mode in vCenter which takes place in one of the virtual machines on the host.  Later I stop the host.  Now I can connect to this server vCenter because it is broken and can not connect the host via vSphere client because the lock mode is activated.  The lock mode setting is dimmed in DCUI. So I can't go in the lock mode setting to turn it off now.  In addition, it does not allow me, connect to local TSM with the correct root account. so I can't disable lock mode using vSphere CLI.

Is there a way to start the virtual machines in this situation?

I'm not sure that reset system configuration in DCUI will help, it resets the mode of locking for disabled?

or if rebuilt the ESXi reinstall it will help? It will remain of all virtual machines?

Any help will be appreciated.

Welcome to the Forums

Given to zero configuration system is like having a new facility.

You will have to make all the configurations, IP, password, vSwitches, etc.

You will need to add your virtual machines to the inventory by browsing through data warehouses

  • Web client - System Configuration node displays 'Unknown' for the Uptime and the workload, no value for IP & Hostname

    When I connect on our vCenter 6 Update 1 device (embedded PSC) via the Web Client with integrated Active Directory ID, select "System Configuration", then select the node for vCenter, summary screen displays all the information IP or host name.  In addition, the status of availability and workload for storage/memory/swap/load of work view all 'unknown '.  See attached photo for reference.

    All values under management-> settings are also empty.

    When I login with [email protected], all the above values are displayed and I can change the settings of the device of vCenter as expected.  This made me suspect a permission problem exists, but I cannot know what SSO group to add our AD is less to enable management or control of the aircraft from vCenter for that it works as expected.

    Already tried to add our accounts to the following groups in SSO under the vsphere.local domain:

    DCAdmins

    SystemConfiguration.Administrators

    ComponentManager.Administrators

    Directors

    This information on the purpose of each group unfortunately did not help me understand which could apply:

    Groups in the field of vsphere.local

    Thank you very much for the help!

    I just did some digging on this myself (we deployed now U2 6.0) after I tried the same things (adding AD users in the SSO domain groups, etc. etc.) without success.

    What I have found is that it is simply a WELL-KNOWN PROBLEM with 6.0 U2 and maybe they'll fix with U3 6.0 when that comes out (later this summer)?  Maybe it'll be 6.5 at that time, with an announcement to the VMworld 2016 or something - who knows.

    The workaround is a joke--suggesting the deployment using only the SSO domain by default.  Well, which is never going to happen naturally, so he says as a workaround is, if you really need to get and display status, etc. from the web client, you simply connect with your [email protected] account that was created at the initial time of installation.

  • Is it possible to collect the lock by SDK mode attribute?

    Hello

    Is it possible to recover the locking mode of an ESXi host attribute using the SDK?

    This option is available in "Configuration - & gt; Software - & gt; Security profile", when connected using the VI Client.

    Thank you

    Yes, I think you can get that by looking at adminDisabled http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.host.ConfigInfo.html that I don't have access to my lab to check, but I remember this up a while back and I think that this indicator tells you if it is enabled/disabled. I do not believe in the current API you can right/turn off the lock mode, must be made via vSphere Client or by using undocumented API call enableAdmin/disableAdmin

    Hello

    I suggest make a SFC (System File Checker) scan on the system and check if the problem is resolved. Follow the steps mentioned in the article below.

    Description of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 System File Checker (Sfc.exe)

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310747

    Once you did check SFC scan, you are able to download Internet explorer on the system and the installation and check. Download internet explorer 8 on the system from the link below.

  • cfgbackup for the locking to low mode

    Hi all

    I could make using without locked mode, now, I have activated the blocking position, the backup mode and we must continue the backup, I could do while the server is in locked mode? I mean using vcenter cross / access?

    Thank you.

    With Set-VMHostFirmware you do not specify a file name, but just the path to use.  The backup process will generate a file name as configBundle - esx01.mishchenko .net .tgz. If you are automating this process that you can rename the file once it has been created.  When you use the command to restore a backup, you require a specific file name.

  • Why the latest version has removed the padlock for sites that require a login?

    It takes too much time on the high speed cable, to log my banking online. My body's response was that the latest version of Firefox had removed the icon of the lock for sites that require a connection. I want to know why it was deleted.

    The padlock shows only that there is a secure connection and does not guarantee that you are connected to the right server. So you could always be connected to the wrong server if you make a typing mistake in the URL and someone said that mistyped the URL. The lock feature has been replaced by the identity button of the Site on the left end of the address bar (address).

    https://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/site+identity+button

    http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/security/identity/
    

    This has actually existed since Firefox 3.0

  • Remove the lock on all files and folders...?

    There has been a lot of questions on how to remove locks on folders and files on Windows 7. Those I've read on this site worked and the lock can be removed easily.

    ... However, you cannot do a folder/file at once. I have a lot of items on my desk, and more than half of them have these locks on them. How I removed the locks on all files and folders on my user account. There are only 2 accounts on the computer. Mine and another person. Mine is set to the administrator account, the other is just a standard user. I started by ignoring the locks for months, then I tried to get rid of them by myself, and frankly, I have no idea what I'm doing. Please, I beg you. If you know of a way, share it!

    If the locks would not constitute an obstacle to operations, why bother?

    And BTW, it; s no need AT ALL to run as an administrator on a daily basis in Windows 7. Forget everything THAT you have learned about XP - Win 7 is much more advanced.

    You realize that the built-in Administyrator account is disabled by default, and if it is possible for him, that may be beyond what you're comfortable with?

    Create another Admin account, call the Admin or Tech or similar and give it a password. Let this accouynt for the elevation of access and privilege of emergency and activate your account for daily use in a Standard user account. Your computer will be safer that way.

    Sorry, but the restriction password cannot be reset, it is part of the backup and restore a backup that was taken after the restrictions were activated, restore this code again.

    You will have to start without the help of the data backup, configure the phone to factory settings and start over. Follow the steps mentioned in this article:

    If you lose or forget your password restriction, you must erase your device and then put it up as a new device to remove the restriction password. Restore the device by using a backup does not delete the access code.

  • Password reset disk error - "year error occurred while the wizard attempted to set the password for this user account.

    Hello!

    -A bit of background: the desktop PC that I use is Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, with active user accounts total five. I have my own account, and I can access the computer through (or through account from my brother, because I know its password).--

    I had this problem recently came where the administrator password (that I know for a long time and never changed) no longer works. So, after some research, I created a reset password on a USB disk, that I found in my house. I managed to create the disc, but when I tried to put the new password, I got the message error "an error occurred while the wizard attempted to set the password for this user account', which I must say is not very clear. I found a few methods of force - reset the password for the account of the admin, as using a sort of Windows Vista DVD or go to Safe Mode to find the hidden administrator account... but I have no idea what this DVD is or where to find, and in Safe Mode, there is no account user administrator to be seen. I believe that my machine is corrupted, but I don't want to buy a new. I want just to reset a password...

    Any help is appreciated. If I was not specific enough, I can specify in comments.

    Thank you!
