• Add Active Directory users on object permissions in Virtual Center

  Hello

  I want to give permissions for virtual machines.  Usually, it's simple.  My problem is when I list my domain users to give permissions, Virtual Center is not listing all my Active Directory users.  It's just the list users at random.  I don't see any connection between users that are listed, and between which are not listed.  I use the latest version of Virtual Center 2.5.

  Thank you

• Setting permissions on a virtual machine

  We run a VM hosting service. I wrote scripts to create, delete, and update virtual machines. The problem I have is setting permissions on a virtual machine. We have groups Active Directory (AD) for the management of the permissions on the virtual machines. I am able to manually add these ad groups tab permissions on a virtual machine using the vCenter console, but I could not describe the process. We run 5.0 vCenter. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Hi B

  Assuming that you do not have many ads with replication issues Sites / ore something latency... maybe this could be a problem:

  In my script I user QAD Cmdlets... as I wrote this powershell script was without value 'default' - module

  It might be the QAD Cmdlets to return the other default strings them from Microsoft.

  I suggest you play with this line in order to get a response... I'm not able to test this now... excuse... :

  $perm.principal = $mrdgrp

  # Does 'primary' eventualy implies PrincipalName? Something like:

  $perm.principal = ' VMCA_group_name@C***. EDU'

  # Or second try...

  "$perm.principal = ' C * \VMCA_group_name.

• Virtual Center service

  After the reboot, virtual center service does not start on its own. I don't face any problem while I start it manually. How to fix this?

  Hello

  To resolve this problem, add a dependency to the VirtualCenter service so that it starts only after the necessary services have started.

  To create a service dependency:

  1. Click Start > run, type services.msc and press ENTER.

  2. Find all the services that vCenter Server requires. For example, SQLEXP_VIM, ADAM_VCMSDS or ADAM_VMwareVCMSDS.

     Note: the Service names are different from SQL Express and the full SQL implementations. For example, the name of the SQL Express service is SQLEXP_VIM and in complete SQL implementations, it is MSSQLSERVER.

  3. Open the properties of the service and note the name of the service. For example, MSSQL$ SQLEXP_VIM.

  4. Click Start > run, type regedit, and then click OK. The window of the Registry Editor opens.

  5. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vpxd.

  6. Double-click the DependOnService key and add the Service name by using the name identified in step 4.

  7. Close the Registry Editor window.

  8. In the Services window, open the properties of the service to the service identified in step 3.
  9. On the Dependencies tab, make sure that the VMware VirtualCenter service is registered as a function of the service.
  10. Repeat steps 3-9 for all services that requires VirtualCenter.

  If you are running Windows 2008 you can set the VMware VirtualCenter Server service to automatic startup (delayed) following type:

  1. Click Start > run, type services.msc, and then click OK.

  2. Right-click on the VMware VirtualCenter Server service, and then click Properties.

  3. Change the automatic startup type Automatic (delay).

• Update Virtual Center 5.0 to 5.1 (using Cisco Nexus 1000V)

  Need advice on upgrading production please.

  current environment

  Race of Virtual Center 5.0 as a virtual machine to connect to oracle VM DB

  3 groups

  1: 8 blades of ESXI 5.0 IBM cluster, CLuster 2: 5 IBM 3850 x 5

  2 cisco Nexus 1000v of which cluster only 1 use.

  I know that the procedure of upgrading to 5.1

  1. create DB SSO, SSO of installation

  2 upgrading VC to 5.1

  3. install WEB CLient set up AD authentication

  IT IS:

  I have problems with the Nexus 1000? I hope the upgrade will treat them as he would a distributed switch and I should have no problem.

  He wj, treat the Nexus as a dVS.

• Connect hosts vSphere 4.1 again Virtual Center 5.0?

  We have Virtual Center 4.1 and all our hosts vSphere 4.1.

  I want to install a new VC 5.0 with dvSwitch 4.1.

  Then I whant to disconnect our hosts vSphere 4.1 4.1 VC, and reconnect them to our VC 5.0.

  I have not created any dvSwitch on the new VC 5.0.

  When I reconnect hosts vSphere 4.1 to the new VC 5.0, are the old dvSwitches then created 4.1 on the new VC 5.0, so I did not need to create them, before I have to reconnect?

  When you create the vDS on the new vCenter you will need to create it as a 4.1 vDS your host still being 4.1.

  You must disconnect and remove your host of your old VC (and former vDS) and then an add-in host on the new Victoria Cross.  After you have added the host of the new Victoria Cross you need to connect them to the new vDS.

  Best thing maybe create standard switches on hosts and migrate all your VMS and vmks to that.  Unplug and remove from current VC.  Add the host to the new CR.  Set and migration of networks to vDS.  This will reduce also any potential stop (against briefly during the network of back migration service VDS standard).

  Hope that makes sense.

• Virtual Center upgrade to 5.0 U1 4.1 on the new machine

  Hello

  I don't see that this scenario in the upgrade documentation so wanted to clarify.

  Have currently Windows 2008 R2 server running Virtual Center 4.1 U1 and database resides on separate SQL 2008 Server.  Virtual Center Server has been improved 3 times now so eager to make a new update for Virtual Center 5.0 on a new server by keeping the existing database.  The data migration tool cannot be used because it is only for the migration of versions prior to version 4.1 U1.

  I'll do the following:

  Install a new server with new name/ip.

  Install Virtual Center 5.0 and create the DNS pointing to the existing SQL 4.1 database.

  -At this point is it ask me to upgrade the database?

  I have problems in doing this?  Will all of my existing hosts show as offline and must be reconnected and updated Virtual Center new server SSL certificates?

  Thanks in advance.

  Tony

  I'll do the following:

  Install a new server with new name/ip.

  Install Virtual Center 5.0 and create the DNS pointing to the existing SQL 4.1 database.

  -At this point is it ask me to upgrade the database?

  Yes, there will be an upgrade of the DB schema, so make sure you have a good backup. Make sure that you set up the system DSN from 64 bits to the correct address and test your connection to the DB before upgrading.  Also, make sure you have dbo on the VCDB and MSDB

  I have problems in doing this?  Will all of my existing hosts show as offline and must be reconnected and updated Virtual Center new server SSL certificates?

  If you change the host name and IP, your hosts may be in offline / not responding.  If you do a right click on it and "connect", they should return to the inventory very well.  (you may be prompted for credentials to the root)

  It of Nice to have this indictment, but is it possible for me to configure the number of virtual machines created on same time?

  Thanks for your help

• How to upgrade from Virtual Center 2.5 + SQL Server 2000 to vCenter 4.1 + SQL Server 2008 (R2)?

  I plan the upgrade of an existing VMware Infrastructure 3 (Virtual Center 2.5 + ESX 3.5) to vSphere 4.1, and I'm stuck in the Virtual Center Server upgrade and its back-end database.

  vSphere 4.1 is released only as a 64-bit software, so he needs a x 64 O.S.; This excludes an upgrade the existing server on-site.

  The plan is to install a new Server Windows Server 2008 R2 with SQL Server 2008 (or 2008 R2 if taken in charge), migrate the database and install 4.1 on the server vCenter.

  The question: How can I migrate the database?

  When you perform an upgrade of Virtual Center vCenter 4.0 on-site, the database is automatically upgraded; but this isn't the case when you install a new server.

  VMware provides a utility to clear the existing database and import it into a new server, but it works only for SQL Server Express (which according to VMware must not be used in medium/large production environments); If this is not an option.

  I am unable to find a support procedure to perform this migration.

  Can someone please help?

  Massimo,

  I just went through it and found it to be a little pain simply because I forgot to VMware document simplicity...

  You are right, the 'migration' tool does support SQL Server Express, I don't know why and niether are the two VMware Tech Support Agents I spoke with.

  To anyone reading this. NOTE If you perform the upgrade / migration SQL Server Express via the Migration tool you MUST check the registry DbServerType key FIRST! If it is set on Custom Migration tools will ignore simply stages of database! See this VMware KB article for more information:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=1024380

  Yes, it is the States 'failure', what he does not say, it is that the Migration tool will be 'Silencieusement Skip' your database.

  End of Migration tools do call a standard SQL Server T - SQL backup command. YAY! You don't have to upgrade your existing 32-bit vCenter Server, do first just in case backup/snapshot, then run through the upgrade as if you were going to use the 32-bit version in production. This step will apply to any database schema change.

  Build your brilliant new 64-bit server, install all of the bits and then use SQL Server Management Studio to make a backup of SQL Server 32-bit database and then restore it on your new 64-bit server. NOTE: Make sure that all SQL and vCenter services are stopped before proceeding with the backup and restore of the measures.

  After the restoration of the SQL on your new server it reboot and everything will come back to life just as it is only now with all 64 bit!

  Hope this Helps!

• Unable to access role to change the settings for the virtual Center

  Hi all

  I recently created two new roles to restrict the Active Directory in Virtual Center security group and the Resource Pool. I cloned VM Administrator role and tweaked so that this group can view full data center while being only able to create/delete the virtual machines in the resource pool. However, I can't work on what permission setting would completely restrict the role of access and changes to the "vCenter Server Settings" on the home page.

  Can someone please help?

  Virtual Center: 4.0.0 (Build: 208111)

  Thank you

  Fadi

  That sounds right.  roles and rights spread from host/cluster view for the sake of server configurations.

  If you set the role to the next level in vCenter 4 (which is the name/IP of your vCenter), they will have access to it.

  You can define a low level (data center), then define non-role or nothing at the top level.  you will need to place this permission/role on each object in the data center, you have for each of these connections.

  Kind regards

• 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

  Haim defending

  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"
  

• How to check what database is used by VMware Virtual Center?

  Hello

  I recently inherited a small environment and I was asked to upgrade ESX 3.5 to ESX 4.0. I'm not a person from the database, but how can I check what database is used by VMware Virtual Center? According to the guide to upgrade the MSDE database is not supported in ESX 4.0.

  I want to just make sure that we did not use this database. I looked in the ODBC Data Source Administrator. Thanks to the system DSN, I saw that the drivers for Vmware Update Manager and Vmware Virtual Center are "SQL Native Client". Also registry editor, I watched HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-> SOFTWARE-> VMWARE, INC.-> VMware Virtual Center-> DB. Data on 'Vmware VirtualCenter' next to '1' and '4' is set to "SQL Native Client".

  So, how can I determine if the database used is not MSDE?

  Sorry for the stupid question, but I'm not so much with the databases...

  Thank you.

  Den...

  > So, how can I determine if the database used is not MSDE?

  MSDE does not remote databases.  ODBC Open, click System DSN, click Configure.  The listed database is that it uses, and if that is the name used for virtual center, this is the database in use.

• Cannot perform any action on an ESX connected to Virtual Center Server

  Hi all

  I have an ESX Server which shows connected to my Virtual Center. I can access the virtual machines that are on the ESX of Virtual Center Server. However, none of the commands are available for the ESX Server when selected or by using a right-click on the mouse when the server is selected. All that shows is the summary of the report and the performance report all others are gray.

  I stop all VMs and you restart the ESX Server. Always displays the same State. Can someone provide suggestions about where to look to fix this problem.

  Thank you

  Robert

  I would check your permissions - you are not these permissions at the host level.
