• vCenter Server and Manager on the same virtual machine and on the same host ESXi update that they manage

  Hi all

  I have a question to which I did not respond.

  I have an ESXi 5 on Proliant DL380 G7 server host. I want to install vCenter Server and Manager Update on one of the Server 2008 R2 VM on the same host. I know it's possible, but my question is how Update manager will provide updates to the same ESXi host it will run on? The update is applied every time host must spend in maintenance mode and power off the virtual computer running on this subject which means he'll kill VM where vCenter Server and Update Manager is running and the update will fail right?

  Is that possible at all or the VCS and UM such as a virtual computer operating point is updated to other guests if you have them or vMotion as VM to another host when you want to update the VCS and UM host is running?

  Thanks in advance.

  It will not work.  You will need at least two hosts.  This way you can vMotion the vCenter VM to another host.  From there, you can use VUM.  Otherwise, you will need to patch the host as a stand-alone host.

  See below for patching a standalone host

• Is it possible to run vCenter Server and AUVS in the same database?

  Hello. My client has vCenter Server and VUM installed and running in the same database. Yes, the same database (not only same server database) and the same ODBC (ODBC VUM is 32-bit only).

  My question is whether it is supported or not and I would like a source VMware information, not only "it works fine for me".

  I can't find any definitive info on this VMware. Only something to wave in the installation and upgrade guides about or not to run in the same database ' ' (I guess they mean 'server') and it seems that the recommendation is to separate them for the 'large environments,' whatever that means.

  The environment vSphere 4.1 is currently, and there are about 20 guests and 150 virtual machines.

  If it is not supported, I guess the best way to go is to reinstall both from scratch?

  Thanks in advance!

  / Anders

  Yes, it is a supported configuration.  Since VUM and vCenter using different tables, you can share the same DB

  The database of the update manager that you use can be identical to the vCenter Server database. You can also use a
  separate database, or you can use existing database clusters. For best results in a large scale environment, you
  must use a dedicated Update Manager database that is located on one computer other than the
  the vCenter Server system database.

  Richard - Welcome to the forums.

  "You can not have VMware Server installed on the same host with another product VMware as VMware Workstation, VMware GSX Server and VMware ESX. You cannot have multiple versions of VMware Server installed on the same host.

  Only VMware products which may share a host with VMware Server are client VMware VirtualCenter (VMware Infrastructure Client) and the server software and the VMware Converter. If you plan to install VMware Server on a host of the machine which already

  Hello
  
  I have an admin server and 2 managed servers. I want to create a windows service so that my server admin and 2 managed servers start as a windows service.
  
  I'm following the documentation at: http://weblogic-wonders.com/weblogic/2011/02/01/weblogic-as-a-windows-service/

  Hello

  The post below

  http://WebLogic-wonders.com/WebLogic/2011/02/01/WebLogic-as-a-Windows-service/

  shows how we can make the server administrator and the server run as a windows service, referring to an area of sample called 'Wonders_Domain '.

  Your questions:

  (* 1) I have to create 3 different with 3 different (one for the server admin) file names and 2 for managed servers? *

  Rep. : Yes, the settings of the server administrator and the managed server are different then you its recommended to have scripts for each of the servers.

  (* 2) what should be the names? I've created a script with the name startAdminServer.cmd for the administrator of the server to verbal-online C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain\config\startup but it gives me an error when I try to run the script by saying 'the file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect. " *

  Rep. : The name is not important. The values contained in the script should be relevant to your area of work environment.

  The values in the pasted script refers to the environment of the author, replace them with your own environment settings.

  You can specify the servername, DomainName, USERDOMAIN_HOME, WL_HOME according to your environment.

  Please let me know if you have any other questions.

• I have a new server and you cannot use Remote Desktop connection.

  I HAVE A NEW SERVER (HP ML110 G6) AND HAVE USED OLD HARD DISKS, BUT MY REMOTE DESKTOP CONNECTION WILL NOT ME OR OTHERS - WHAT COULD THE REASON BE?

  Hello

  I suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps.

   The problem can also be caused by your security such as anti-virus program or a firewall of Windows /Defender that can have conflicting parameters as to not not to perform certain tasks. I suggest you temporary disable antivirus and firewall and check the result again. You must activate new security that you was disabled programs.
  Disable the antivirus software:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

  May also need to do this on other computers as well.

  Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Hope this information is useful.

• DataSocket server and DataSocket Server Manager are free to redistribute?

  Are the DataSocket server and management applications for free for redistribution DataSocket Server?

  Yes, Datasocket stuff are free to distribute.  It is in a library included in CVI, so it is covered in the license agreement CVI and distribution conditions.

  Here is the license agreement for the software of NOR. http://www.NI.com/legal/license/

• vCenter VDI Licensing questions

  Hello

  Basically, my question is if a standard of vCenter license can manage hosts with VDI and Non - VDI workload without violating the EULA.

  For a more detailed explanation, please see below:

  Thank you very much in advance

  concerning

  Luis

  ----

  Environment:

  -vSphere 4

  -Cisco UCS

  Customer has acquired the following licenses:

  -1 vCenter server standard (Cisco OEM)

  -vSphere Enterprise Plus for 16 cores (Cisco OEM)

  also, as VDI will run on the VI client thus acquired a set of 5 view come with:

  -1 Server vCenter for VDI

  -See the first 5 Add - on licenses (200)

  -vSphere Enterprise more to View 5 (200)

  The current implementation has a unique vCenter and 8 blades, divided into two groups:

  -6 guests for Admin more application VMs

  -2 VMS VDI host

  Scenario has):

  -If we use the vCenter VDI license, according to the "View4LicensingFAQ.PDF" of VMware, support Non - VDI running in a VDI VI is not allowed (see below)

  Q: can I run other workloads from server on the vSphere which is included in the view?

  A: No. vSphere and vCenter beam view components are limited to desktop deployments.  A desktop virtual machine is defined as a virtual machine that is running the following operating systems:

  Windows 95/98, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista Ultimate, Windows Vista business, or Windows Vista business, Windows 7.

  The only exception to this rule are the elements that make up the virtualized infrastructure Fund (View Manager, vCenter Server, a Broker for the connections and/or management and tools used for Virtual Machine (s) of Office ESX hosted within an operating system of a server performance monitoring only).  Download the EULA here for details http://www.vmware.com/download/eula/.

  Scenario B):

  -If we use the Standard-vCenter vCenter license, according to the "View4LicensingFAQ.PDF" of VMware this is not recommended (see below)

  Can Q: you the customer mix vSphere hosts who have licenses from the beams of the view and vSphere license via vSphere la carte?

  R: a mixed environment is not recommended because there is risk of workloads server live-migration of a cluster of vSphere (via VMware vMotion™) in a scenario of disaster recovery for a license to view vSphere host, what would constitute a violation of the EULA. Guests are asked to keep their separate environments or buy to the map view to entitle the deployment of a mixed environment vSphere, vCenter, and licenses.

  
  Leaving apart from the facts that:

  -View licenses need to be reclassified from vSphere5 in vSphere4

  -The client may have bought more than necessary licenses

  My thoughts are:

  • -I have not read anywhere that the use of a Standard-vCenter to cover the VDI and the workload of Non - VDI is not possible at the technical level.
  • -I'm not 100% sure that it is aligned with the EULA
  • -Similar situation for ESXi hosts accommodation VDI VMs licenses

  If you use the view bundle vCenter only VDI workloads are allowed.    If you use vCenter who bought outside of the whole of the display, you can run anything you want with it.

  Is it possible that I can start my server managed by Admin? If Yes, what are the steps I have to do to make it viable.

  In addition, which is just how to configure the node Manager autostart administrator and Manager on the same host and server with the single domain.

  NodeManager cannot start Admin and the managed server automatically when you gracefully stop the managed server.

  Recovery setting enabled the crash work in case of a sudden collapse of the host itself. This does not mean that NodeManager servers will automatically start every time. Crash Recovery also works for servers that are started by using Nodemanager only.

  For:

  Error: Exception thrown by the agent: java.rmi.server.ExportException: Port already used: 9899; nested exception is:

  exception java.net.BindException: address already in use

  As says error itself port is already in use. Be sure to use the single port and also check if a process taking into this port.

• Add VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter error - 'vmnic must be managed by the same server VC.

  I used PowerCli 6.0 R3 on vSphere 6.0 Update 1 b.  I have only a single virtual machine, my VM vCenter which is a Windows Server 2012.  I have also 2 Dell ESXi servers.

  I have created a virtual Distributed Switch (vDS), 3 groups of ports vd and have added the first 2 VMHosts service VDS using PowerCli.

  My problem occurs when I try to add my vmnic host that need the VDS (10 GB NIC).  I get the following error:

  The PhysicalNicImpl - "vmnic6" must be managed by the same VC server that you use to call this operation.

  A code snippet is attached.  I appreciate any suggestions on what may cause this error.  You feel something in my environment.

  Thank you Luke, you gave me the idea and I was able to understand.

  In my script that I was connected to 2 my vCenter server and ESXi hosts and I never specified the vCenter server in cmdlets for a list of the network adapters.  So instead for expansion via vCenter cards, I received the ESXi host and this is why the Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter complained.

  Once, I started from vCenter in as the parameter server, everything started to click.

  Difficulty:

  $vctServerObj = to connect-viServer $vctIPaddress

  $vmHostObj = get-vmhost-name $serverIP - Server $vctServerObj

  $adapterList = get-VMHostNetworkAdapter-host $vmHostObj - Server $vctServerObj

  {Foreach ($adapter to $adapterList)

  $newVDSObj | Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter - VMHostNetworkAdapter $Server adapter $vctServerObj

  }

• Isolate the vCenter and management host ESXi5.1 of LAN traffic

  I would add two Dell switches to an existing installation, create a private management network (192.168.x.x subnet) containing the hosts and vCenter server, so that the management traffic is isolated and in no way dependent on connectivity LAN... for now that the vCenter server and the hosts are on the local network using public IP addresses.

  Is this possible with vCenter as vCenter that one IP can be configured and how should we switch be configured to allow access to vCenter from the local network via the web and customer management interface vSphere.

  Thank you very much

  Gary

  Facing your audience of LAN?  I think it depends a little bit of what looks like your LAN.  I don't think - you need not NAT your management network.  If you simply use public IPs rather than private to your internal LAN, the answer is no.  I have a client who does this same thing using 191.x.x.x for its internal network.  You try to access your network over the Internet?  It would be a different matter, and I recommend that to consult a competent network engineer.

  In short, just because you go to a public IP address range a private range of IP addresses does not mean you need to NAT.  You see NAT several times when these IP address ranges are used because they are intended.  For example, a company has a single public IP address assigned.  It uses private in its local network IP addresses.  For devices that must leave the LAN and access the Internet, you would NAT because everyone has to share this single public IP.

  Without knowing a little more, I think you'd be fine with the standard range or switching (inter - VLAN routing layer 3).

  All the best,

  Mike

• Is possible let activate domain multi UCS VM - FEX and sign up for the same vCenter

  Hi Experts,

  We have 7 domain UCS. But only a vCenter. Now, we want to enable VM - FEX on each UCS area and sign up for the same vCenter. Is - it work? I have found no description limit configuration on this relationship.

  Or we create 7 vCenter for each UCS area? (But I think it's not sense.)

  Best regards
  Meng-Yuan Hsieh (Nick)

  Hi Moua!

  I open a TAC case on that, and after that many discussions with Cisco, connecting several areas a single vCenter UCS is supported.  However, it turns out that Cisco failed to document this and how to make it work.  You will find that the procedures were written in old documentation for VN-LINK and others for VM - FEX.  This documentation shows that it is necessary to create new certificates, and it must match the key to expansion.  This is NOT true nor with the new versions of UCSM and vCenter.  Cisco, said they will update their documentation.

  Here are the steps that we took to connect two UCS areas for the same vCenter using default self-signed certificates.  I hope this helps...  Please mark this message as the right answer when you get a chance.  Thank you!!

  vCenter Version: 5.5

  UCSM Version: 2.2(5a)

  1. On the VM in UCS Manager tab, click VMware.
  2. Set up a key of the unique extension for every area of UCS.
  3. Click on "Configure VMware integration" on each area of UCS and export expansion of local storage.
  4. Install each UCS domain extensions in vCenter.
  5. After you install the extensions, back to UCSM and click Next where you left off in configure integration with VMware
  6. Run the wizard and after that it's over, areas of the UCS should now be connected to the vCenter.

  

• Administration server and the servers managed (WebLogic Server).

  Hello

  What are Server Administration and managed servers , I saw these words as I read the installation guide for WebLogic server,

  but I don't know what they are?

  
  

  I saw them while I was reading on the Node manager that allows me to start the above mentioned.

  
  

  -J' installs the WebLogic to develop applications with oracle reports and forms services.

  
  

  1 - do I need a node Manager, Administration Server or managed servers?

  
  

  2. is the Manager nodes, Server Administration or servers managed as EnterPrise data control manager ?

  
  

  Thank you very much

  Answers to most of your questions WLS lie in WLS documentation:

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E23943_01/Web.1111/e13752/TOC.htm

  However, a simple answer to your questions could be summed up as follows.

  If you are familiar with older versions of application server version 10, which include OC4J as its Java container, as a managed WLS server is basically the same thing.  In the context of WLS, a managed server is responsible for hosting java applications on the server side.  For example, Oracle Forms Servlet.  The WLS management server is actually a java application deployed on a managed server.  So, really, the "Admin" server is a kind of "Managed Server".  In a typical installation of forms/States, you will find that at least three 3 managed servers are created automatically for you:

  • Server Admin
  • WLS_FORMS
  • WLS_REPORTS

  Node Manager is a separate process that is used to allow the two directors of the WLS environment such as command line allowing the administrator of the server to communicate with other servers managed, local or remote.

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E25178_01/Web.1111/e13740/overview.htm

  Then, for simply "run" apply (forms, for example), all you need is the managed server that hosts the forms Servlet.  However, if you want to change the configuration via a web interface, you must also run the administration server (and Node Manager).

  All these components are much more complex than what I've described here.  I would recommend to consider the documentation if you are interested in learning about them.  That said, the best way to really learn about them likely will be to install the product and start using it.

• New Vcenter server and host add

  Hello, we are planning to create a new server Vcenter.  Had a bunch of weird issues with Vcenter.  Vcenter 5.1 on Windows running.  have not decided if we will use the VCenter, or create a new virtual machine from Windows to Vcenter again but I don't think that will count for my question.

  My plan is to turn off HA and DRS on the old server Vcenter, then remove a host from the old server Vcenter, and then add this host on the new Vcenter server.  Then just repeat the process for each host.

  My question is, should I turn off any virtual machine running on the hosts before removing the old server vcenter?

  If I remember correctly you have not, the virtual machine must remain in place and running, no connectivity should be lost and users should not not the difference.  We plan to do this off-peak hours, but there are always a couple of vm that are used 24/7.  It would be therefore rather not have to stop first.

  Thank you

  Hi defrogger

  Yes, it's the right way to migrate a new vCenter ESX Server.

  Disable HA/DRS and then disconnect the ESXi, vCenter server and plug them into the new vCenter.

  By disabling the DRS, you will lose the Resource Pools. So its maybe you assign only manual DRS.

  Another thing that many people forget are the options of the virtual machine on the cluster options. they have been set up again on the new cluster.

  BTW. There is a guide of vmware:

  VMware KB: Move a managed ESX ESXi host to a vCenter Server to a different Server vCenter
