• What should I do on vCenter vSphere Web Client after you change the host root password?

  Hello

  When we implemented vCenter our Organization, we used a regular password to the account 'root' on each ESXi host.

  So, I installed vCenter and added the hosts on it to manage.

  When I added them, they've asked for the root password power connect.

  Ok. Everything was fine.

  Now, we want to change the password to root for each ESXi host.

  My question is: what should I do to make sure that vCenter will always be able to connect to the ESXi hosts, because the account used to connect the first time change his password?

  My question is: what should I do to make sure that vCenter will always be able to connect to the ESXi hosts, because the account used to connect the first time change his password?

  Nothing, after the host is added to vCenter, a user named vpxuser is created automatically on the ESXi host and vCenter uses this user to connect and manage the host.

• VCSA 6.0 DC for SSO crashed, can not access to vCenter

  Hello and thank you for your time.

  In my lab work I have vCenter server with SSO 6.0 on my Active Directory domain controller. The domain controller has crashed hard. I can't authenticate with anything to enter for vCenter. I VDP 6.0 with a full backup of the domain controller, but if I can't to vCenter, I'm sort of GROUND. I looked everywhere to see if there is a method of stripping to the standards body command line, but I still have no chance. Root, [email protected] does not work, none of the created account it will access.

  Does anyone have an idea how I can remedy this disastrous situation?

  As Ryan mentioned, [email protected] should work ideally. (if you have not changed the default to something else while deployment domain name, because it is possible to customize the name vsphere.local in 6.0) But note that you can restore sauvegardΘ even with access to vCenter via the VDP's emergency recovery feature

• Change the path information for ESX ESXi hosts to access

  Hello all! I hope you guys can help me.

  I have about 47 hosts that I need to change it Round Robin storage path information. If I make the change in vCenter and restart the host it again changing fixed. So, I thought that I should change it to the level of the host through esxicli.

  I have about twice as many LUNS of the Hitachi SAN. I'd like to see if it is possible to make the change in all areas, in some way, or I need to make the change by host? Also, is there anything that I need to change sides San so that it works or not.

  I saw this VMware KB: modification of path information for ESX/ESXi hosts to access and assume that it is the best plan? But did not know of all put into custody, if necessary, that everyone ran to when doing this?

  You will need to make the change by the host and the KB you'll find is the right method.

  How do you get to the Sony Tablet S root access?

  I want to use one of the samba applications, but you need root access to use them.

  I want to mount my directories of media to make my pictures, video and music available at the Gallery, video player and music player to my content is added to their scanning/database.

  Tried the DLNA app but it's terrible to navigate in the content and user experience very very basic.

  Thank you.

  P.S., Sony's Marketing really exaggerate the quality of the default software for the Tablet. Compared to the iPad, it's just sad to use.

• internal hosts cannot access the internet w / L2L configured tunnel

  The internal hosts behind the ASA cannot access the internet with a configured tunnel to L2L. The L2L tunnel is mounted and passing traffic correctly. However, the internal host cannot access the internet through the ASA. I think I have my NAT watered somewhere. I can't even a host statically mapped to the internet. It might be because I'm used to having a WAN IP to the external interface which differs by the CIDR block assigned by the ISP. In this case, it's all together, with the ASA outside interface occupying the first available address.

  We have been assigned a CIDR range x.x.x.64/28. x.x.x.65 is my front door and my first usable est.68, by the PSI (I guess what they utilisent.66 et.67 for internal use). External interface of the ASA est.68 and I'm trying to get NAT others. I'm Polo all DHCP clients internal and have some static entries as well. Below is the relevant NAT config.

• VCS Virtual X 8 / Root access

  Hello world

  Just a quick question.

  Since the last update of x7.2 to x8.1, virtual VCS in a cluster is not accessible with root login.

  The strange thing is that a fast track (device), within the same infrastructure is accessible via the root.

  It does even more on the vmware console.

  Any suspicion or have you seen this problem yet?

  Bravo and thank you for your answers,

  See you soon,.

  Jul

  I can't really interpret your last message.

  You said 'connections series' where do you use it on a virtual serial ports of vcs - c?

  Do you have pwrec command to run and reset the password?

  Please see the guide to the administrator for more entries!

  The needs of VCS be restarted just to re - define the password password through pwrec, please follow the Administrator's guide.

  pwrec should be done via the virtual console in ESXi.

  (guess a virtual serial port might also work, but I've never tried and also why make it more complicated).

  Try something simple, like 8 characters containing A - X characters and 0-9 to rule out the possibility of keyboard problems.

  BTW, if you have the key to the strengthening of security, root access is disabled.

  Please remember useful frequency responses and identify useful or correct answers.

• How to remove hosts in cluster without vCenter

  Hello
  a customer has a vSphere 5.0 U1 cluster with 2 host ESXi 5.0 U1.
  
  The vCenter VM is corrupt and there is no way to restore ( )no available backup ).
  Now I installed a new vCenter, how do I remove the old cluster hosts?
  

  
  

  Thank you
  Andrea

  Hello

  If vCenter is offline, I'll try to add hosts to the new vCenter. I'm sure it will connect.

• [HELP] SMV disappeared after restart of the host - 5.5 ESXI, Vcenter Server to the same host

  I restarted the ESXI using classic Vsphere Client. Now, all virtual machines have disappeared. I tried to connect with Vsphere Client and workstation and the list is empty. I can't access the Vcenter server since it is a virtual machine that resides in the home.

  The data store is a local disk. The data store is still there and the amount of disk space used is correct. I don't see the virtual machines in the inventory. I have re-installed ESXI 5.5, refreshed of store data and what not, there is nothing there. I am freaking out and don't know what to do.

  EDIT: I am able to navigate the data store manually by creating the new virtual machine and select the existing virtual machine following this guide but I'm not sure what is the reason for which the files would be missing or corrupt

  http://techhead.co/VMware-ESX-how-to-easily-recreate-a-missing-or-corrupt-vmx-file/

  When you browse the data store you see the virtual machine and their records?

  If you see the virtual computer files, you can open the folder, right click on the .vmx file and select Add to the inventory. who will get your VM in the inventory.

• If I put in place an openfiler VM as a data store iSCSI & vmfs on two ESXi hosts, both ESXi hosts can access two data warehouses?

  If I put in place an openfiler VM as a data store iSCSI & vmfs on two ESXi hosts, both ESXi hosts can access two data warehouses?

  The reason why I ask, is that I have two hosts ESXi ESXi 4 running.  I do my backups with ghettoVCB, which I modified to create thin backups on one of the drives the.  I then wput them to the server, which causes them to become thick.  Directly targets the backup in a vmfs iSCSI on the server in the face shop.  It would save a step and the vmdk backup should remain thin.

  Thank you!

  The short answer is Yes. If you allow the ESX servers to see the LUN. This setting is configured to the Openfiler.

• Cannot add raw lun if the host is connected to vCenter

  I have MS cluster disks in HP EVA4400. They are presented to my guests. If I self host then I can add raw disks in VM but if I add host to vCenter then the lun of the bullies appear no more.

  Probably, if I anyone these LUNS and present with different lun ID then they would appear but can't bring those LUNS offline.

  Anyone have idea where I should start to investigate?

  I think that what you see is the expected behavior.

  In a cluster environment, you can add a unit logic as a ROW only one number. While adding, a mapping file raw device called (vmdk file) is created. On the other node MSCS, you must connect to this mapping file (via Add existing virtual disk) rather than create another ROW.

  Access to the RAW LUN through multiple files for mapping (if you manage to somehow create them) could cause problems with locking and possible data corruption.

• Dell VRTX + vCenter 5.5 + Shared storage is ESXi host import issue in vCenter. Help, please!

  All,

  I have two VRTX to be used for lab purposes that I am currently in configuration.

  Blades feature 4 VRTX with a shared storage infrastructure. Each blade has 5.5 installed on ESXi.

  I configured the shared on the VRTX storage, and all the blades can go very well.

  The question I'm currently facing is when you add the vCenter for managing ESXi hosts.

  Add the first host goes without a hitch. However, add any later host fail, because vCenter finds datastore attached hosts to have the same identifier.

  The error message is (see the attached screenshot): ' Datastore 'Main Shared-storage' is in conflict with a store of data that exists in the data center which has the same URL (ds: / / vmfs/volumes/xxxxx /), but is supported by different physical storage.

  Someone knows how to fix this?

  Thank you.

  Thanks for the reply.

  I think that I have found a workaround.

  First of all, this link does not address my particular issue.

  See, it's a whole new vCenter device installation and configuration. Only one of the four hosts to add host has been added.

  Still, the problem is that each ESXi host is a blade VRTX (M620), which has access to the data store created on the shared storage of VRTX.

  Basically, each host is editing the data store shared even (the only data store created on the shared storage), which works very well except for vCenter complain when you import the hosts.

  In any case, my resolution was as follows:

  -Add the first host with the attached and mounted data store

  -Remove the data store and detach the controller shared by other guests before adding in vCenter

  -Re-attach the controller shared and set up the data store via vCenter once guests have been added

  -Re-configure each host for vSphere HA if necessary

  Thank you.

• Problem transfer VM from one host to another, different VCenter Server ESXi

  Hello everyone.  I'm new on communities, please excuse my lack of experience of VMWare.  I have a problem with the migration of computers and I hope someone here can help you.

  We have two independent groups in my building that each have their own installer of VMWare.  They each at least two hosts ESXi, VCenter Server, san, etc.  They are in separate laboratories on separate subnets.  I need to get a system in place where some images migrated in one laboratory to another on a regular basis, but I'm running into obstacles.

  My first attempt was a copy of the right lane.  Lift the file in my store of data takes about 5 hours, and the final result is a vmdk file is not set up.  I don't know why.  I created a new VM the custom option usign and attempted to add an existing hard drive.  When I accessed this file in my data store, there is no evidence, even if a 50 GB file is really there. I also tried to install this vmdk as a second hard drive to an existing image file, and I end up with the same result.  The Add Hardware Wizard does not have the file as an option.

  My second attempt was to have a group to create a clone of the server and let it off.  Then, I tried to run an import of a clone of one VCenter Server installation to another.  This leads to an error that it was 'Impossible to determine the operating system called'.

  I also tried to import the clone in an installation of SCVMM MS I'm hungry.  That no longer works.

  We don't have a VMotion. We have Essentials more licenses.  A group is running ESXi 4.0 hosts and the other is running ESXi 4.1 hosts.  What is the best way to get an image from one group to another?

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Joe

  You can always use tools such as Veeam Backup and replication, it will take 5 hours for the first complete copy maybe, but then it's just modified pieces which are transferred.

  If this post was useful/solved your problem, please mark the points of wire and price as seem you. Thank you!

  It is an ugly one. At least a restart if not re-install. To minimize downtime, you can close out of virtual machines to the inventory and put them on another host/cluster.

• Move a virtual machine from one host to another without vCenter Server

  Hi all

  Something's been recently who raised the question on moving a virtual machine between hosts without vCenter.  I am running vSphere manage 3 blades in a c3000.  I have a shared storage iSCSI blade which all the blades connect to.  All of my virtual machines are in the same data store on the shared storage.  I'm also under vCenter Server as a virtual machine on one of the blades.  The blade that hosts the vCenter Server VM dead recently. What I was hoping to do is use vSphere Client to connect directly to one of the other blades and hover over the vCenter Server VM to one of the blades of the good, but I can't find a way to do this.  Using the browser of data store and see all of the virtual machine on the store of data without problem, but I see no way to migrate the virtual machine without vCenter server.  In the end, the blade has only had a problem of memory I corrected and managed to raise the blade but I now think of the future.  I use only Essentials, so I don't have access to vMotion and Storage vMotion.  I know that running vCenter Server is supported by Vmware, but I wonder if it's the best practices.

  Any thoughts?

  Hi, I assume that you get this error because the machine is running, try to connect directly to the host and do the same with an engine off the machine.
