• Move cluster configured with replication SRM and Vsphere

  All,

  We go 2 groups in the near future to achieve a geographical distance between the 2 sites.

  A cluster is equipped with VMware 5.0 replication SRM and vSphere and the other cluster running VMware 5.5 and SRM in combination with replication of vSphere.

  What is the best way to move these clusters, I must stop the replication or interrupt the replication process and are these action to perform on SRM or we need to perform any action on the virtual machine itself?

  I read that a stop is setting the State to not configured including destroy all files in the target directory.

  Does anyone have an experience by physically moving a cluster managed by SRM (and replication of vSphere)

  Any help is welcome

  Thank you

  Just pause replication before stop you the VR device on the site target/DR. stop vs break with vSphere replication - VMware vSphere Blog - Articles from VMware

• vCenter upgrade from 5.0 to 5.5 for the new machine, SRM and dvswitch

  Anyone know if it is possible to do a upgrade to vCenter from a machine under windows server 2008 on a new computer server 2012? The database is located on an external computer. All I can see in the upgrade doc is that there is a tool for migrating data with earlier versions, but not when moving to 5.5.

  Also - what implications are there if there's a dvswitch in the site?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  I guess you run ESXi and vCenter 5.1?

  If it were me, I'd do the following:

  -Install a new instance of vCenter on a new Server R2 2012

  -Turn off the old server vCenter on 2008.

  -Save the remote SQL database vCenter.

  -Install a new instance of the Web, the inventory Service and SSO client. I remind vCenter to use the SQL remote database existing and chose to 'upgrade' when installing vCenter.

  Then you'd be in vCenter server 2012 R2 with a new facility and using your old database that will get upgraded. You will always retain so your dvSwitch information. I'm not sure of SRM, you probably need to reconfigure it to use the new vCenter Server (unless you use IP records or that you can easily return?).

  There are a few things to think about when you really do. Can you afford any downtime on vCenter? What of SRM and your RPO/RTO? The complexity is your configuration of SSO? Use you things like tags in web client (they would get lost in the reconstruction of the inventory service)? What confidence you are on the side of things RS? It is possible to save these configurations, but I'm not sure restore them on 5.5.

  The main thing to consider is the database really. Worst case, you can restore it and turn back on your old vCenter 2008.

  Happy to be told I'm wrong or answer your questions. If in doubt, contact VMware technical support and ask for help.

• Please explain SVmotion (Storage Vmotion) and DRS for storage in simple words

  Friends,

  I little confusing... could you please contact Storage vmotion and DRS for storage in simple words and the important points to remember in this regard...

  Kind regards

  Storage DRS is a feature that you allow warehouses of data aggregated on a single object (cluster) and recommend the implementation of disks in virtual machine based on the performance of the store of data and the available space on the data store.

  The DRS storage uses Storage vMotion to migrate virtual (online) computers from a data store to another to balance data store performance and space.

  You can use Storage vMotion without storage DRS too, moving virtual machine between clusters of DRS storage and warehouses of data even from the local level to the data store shared.

• SRM and HP EVA 8400/6400 error

  SRM with HP EVA-8400/6400 returns an error when you run a test:

  Error - Failed to create snapshots of the replica devices. SRA command 'testFailoverStart' failed. Unable to create snapshot Action to create a shot Snapshot failed because of an error on the table cannot create snapshots of the replica devices. SRA command 'testFailoverStart' failed. Unable to create snapshot Action to create a shot Snapshot failed because of an error on the table cannot create snapshots of the replica devices. SRA command 'testFailoverStart' failed. Unable to create snapshot Action to create a tour Snapshot failed because of an error on the table.

  Response from HP:

  It seems that EVA communicates very well with the Sra So. now, you need to scan for the SRA in SRM and then try to perform the replication again. If she fails to perform replication with the SRM then you will need to contact the VMware team, because that would be a problem with the SRM and not a problem with the EVA contacting the SRA.

  Not sure what Miss us here. I work with the administrator of storage without result.

  We found the problem, it was because of the permission on the user account for the table. Need to be added to the storage administrators group.

• Disabled - HA and DRS cluster hosts do not appear in vCOPS

  Have a cluster HA and DRS disabled so that each of the 10 hosts act as autonomous.  In vCOPS 5.8 UI, the hosts appear in the accounts for the cluster but cannot explore them or access it from the search box.  Any ideas?  Thank you

• Change the PowerCLI Script to use the DRS and DRS storage

  Hello

  I have a PowerCLI script that specifies a host and a data store to create a new virtual machine, which has served us well. Now we have activated the DRS and DRS storage and I wonder what to change in order to take advantage of these features. Are there commands to specify a cluster and the cluster data store and let the DRS to decide the initial investment for a new virtual machine? At the moment we put all hosts and the warehouses of data as variables and use them in the line below.

  Thank you.

  $newVM = New-VM-name $NewVMname - VM $TemplateName Datastore - $datastore - VMHost $vHost - confirm: $false - location $myName

  You set a Datastorecluster?

  If Yes, then you can replace the value of parameter data with the datastorecluster object store.

  Replacing a VMHost with a cluster is not taken in charge I'm afraid.

  But you can use something like this

  New-VM-name TestVM Datastore - DSC - ResourcePool (Get-Cluster-name mycluster |) Get - Resourcepool - name of resources)

  This will automatically select the VMHost.

  The virtual machine appears in the root of the cluster.

  DSC is the name of a datastorecluster in the cluster mycluster

• SRM and vReplication need help

  Hi all.  We're new here and desperately need help with SRM and vReplication.  We had a case open with VMware, but apparently we are a large enough customer because we've been down for more than 3 weeks with limited (and very limited) contacts with VMware.  Us running vSphere 5.0.1 with self signed certificates and try to install the SRM and vReplication.  After you have reinstalled completely vCenter Server both protected and recovery sites, we have installed SRM in both places.  Currently, we are trying to install and configure VRMS.  Even if we deploy VRMS and are able to connect to the server, the Summary tab never displays the name of the server and the VRM will not accept self signed certificates generated by vCenter and SRM.  Anyone (nothing to do with VMware) can help us.

  Hello

  The message to the attached screenshot - "local and remote servers use certificate methods of trust. ' is generated by the MIS servers due to the different configuration on both sites. I guess that SRM can be modified to use only digital fingerprint matching, but I've not done this before.

  If the VRM servers are configured differently, so that the message would be "method of trust Incompatible certificate used on the server" Server: port ".» Two VRM servers must use the same method to trust certificate. ».

  Kind regards

• Advanced features of ESXi 4.1 - vMotion, HA and DRS.

  Hi all

  I have a dell poweredge 1950 with 2 processors dual core, 8 GB ram and 2 hard drives. I would like to install a virtual laboratory for features in advanced practical such as vMotion, HA and Drs I know I need 2 ESXi host and storage San iSCSI shared to implement.

  I have only 1 physical box that has 1 ESXi host installed. I have the vCenter, iSCSI SAN (openfiler) installed in a virtual machine. I have a laptop that has vSphere client to connect to the ESXi host through vCenter.

  Is it possible to install 2nd ESXi host in a VM on the ESXi host 1 and perform advanced functions as mentioned above. I'd appreciate your suggestions and advice.

  Thank you

  -rmshah5050.

  Can't do anything as an automatic resource pools configuration.

  How much memory assign you to virtual ESXi hosts. To properly configure HA you must assign at least ~2.5 GB to hosts.

• vSphere 4.1 HA and DRS technical Deepdive, the book!

  As many questions about this forum can be found in our book that has just been released, I wanted to share the following:

  VMware vSphere 4.1 HA and DRS technical Deepdive zoomed in on two key elements of each based VMware infrastructure and

  is not a "how to" Guide. It covers the basic steps needed to

  create a cluster VMware HA and DRS, but even more important, explain it to

  concepts and mechanisms behind HA and DRS, which will allow you to

  well-informed decisions. This book will take you the trenches of

  HA and DRS and give you the tools to understand and implement for example

  HA admission control policies, the DRS resource pools and resources

  distribution settings. In addition, each section contains basic design

  principles that can be used to design, implement or improve

  VMware infrastructure.

  Coverage includes:

  • HA the node types

  • HA isolation detection and response

  • HA admission control

  • Monitoring VM

  • HA and DRS integration

  • Algorithm of imbalance DRS

  • Resource pools

  • Impact of reservations and limits

  • CPU resources planning

  • Scheduler memory

  • DPM

  I hope you enjoy it and don't mind sharing this with you.

• HA and DRS direct mapped LUN.

  I have a virtual machine directly mapped with a 500 GB iscsi LUNS.

  Can any body tell me if HA and DRS will be possible or not.  As I know HA and DRS is possible in RDMS.

  > I have a virtual machine directly mapped with a 500 GB iscsi LUNS.

  I guess you mean that LUN is connected via initiation iSCSI software of guest operating system.

  Yes, HA and DRS are entirely compatible with this scenario.

• HA and DRS

  I want to confirm something I've heard which seems to contradict what I've learned in the classroom.   If the DRS and HA are implemented on a cluster AND the failure of an ESX Server, the virtual machines on the host CAN live migrate to another host?    I was told in class that VMs will be always powered down if HA is implemented.  So which is true?

  In addition, if the DRS and HA have been implemented on a cluster and we will say I pull the plug on an ESX host... it is not enough time to migrate VMs live, so I'm inclined to believe that's NOT true.

  Let me see if I can summarize-------.

  HA - protects you in the event of a failure of the host - if a host fails (you pull the plug) the virtual machines running on this host will restart on the other nodes in the cluster and if DRS is activated it then make sure that virtual machines draw their resources. The way the cluster hosts know that they are alive is by the HA heartbeat if heart rate is not detected a host of the cluster think the host has failed, but he could not because of network problems - host is then described as being isolated but not bencessaryily down, so virtual machines on it are still running - the cluster tries to restart virtual machines but not power because the VMDK will be locked - this is where isolation answer comes to you can get the Power Down the VMs host to the HA cluster to restrt them (moving) or let them powere gift there is no failure (where they are). VMotion and DRS has nothing to do with VMware HA-

  FT - whicxh is a feature of the Enterprise Plus can have NO downtime in the event of a failure of the host and also protects from the questions of the o/s and - if there is a failure that the VM mirroring resumes instantly with no downtime of fault tolerance.

• Requirements VMware HA and DRS.

  On vmware site I was just brushing my knowledge on VMware HA and DRS and found a conflict. Someone can it confirm please.

  One of the requirements for VMware vmotion and DRS turns "the virtual machine configuration file must not reside on a VMFS located on the shared data store. . . "(Ref: http://www.vmware.com/support/vc13/doc/c2vmotionreqs12.html) "

  But VMware HA says one of the requirements as "cluster-enabled VMware HA, all virtual machines and their configuration files to .

  reside on the shared storage (Fibre Channel SAN, iSCSI SAN, or NAS iSCSI SAN), because you have to

  ' be able to power on the virtual machine on any host in the cluster " (Ref: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware_ha_wp.pdf ( )

  What does that mean? Or the constraint of VMware vmotion is wrong? I'm just confused!

  The first link is-old vMotion applies to Virtual Center 1.3 and ESX2.

  "The virtual machine configuration file should not reside on a VMFS located on the shared data store '... This applies to 2 ESX hosts. At the time, the virtual machine configuration (.vmx) file was located locally on the ESX host, run the virtual machine in/home/default vmware...  This file have been moved to the local directory on the target host during vMotion...

  This was changed to ESX3, who, with Virtual Center 2, introduced also HA...

  For HA to work all the VM files must reside on the shared storage. This makes all slender VM files available to other hosts of clusters at all times. (difficult to extract different files from a host of dead).
