Symbol warning on one of my hosts, VCenter in VSphere client?

When I connect to my server VCenter with VSphere Client, one of my guests has a symbol attention to it, but I can't understand why. I looked into the events and the last even that my CPU usage went to Green said.  I don't know where else to look at. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Check the Summary tab to see if there are any warnings - for example SSH enabled. Check the tab also alarms and ensure that you have launched alarms selected (as opposed to the definitions of the alarm). You may also go to the top of the tree to see if the alarm is on the cluster, or DC, etc.

For example, you see a warning at the level of the host;

There is no alarm triggered;

But on the summary, here's the warning tab / issue;

  • I can't connect to Vcenter using vsphere client

    I installed vCenter 6.0 and vsphere client 6.0. I can connect to the web client, but when I am connected to vCenter using vsphere client I got error.

    In vsphere version 5.5 I can connect to vCenter using vsphere client 5.5.

    I can't find any information on this subject on vmware.com.

    Do vsphere 6.0 support connecting to vCenter using vsphere client?

    I guess you are using Vsphere Client beta built which has only the features of client enabled host.

    Try GA build Client to connect to vCenter. However, the latest vsphere 5.1 leave are available only in the web client.

    Hello and welcome to the forum of the community of VMware ESXi 5.

    Please note that the 'official' language to the English forums.

    1. You want to know if it is possible to use vSphere 5 free on the host computers and manage this host using vCenter (charges apply).
      I'm currently not sure and assume that it is not covered in the license agreement for the free vSphere 5.
    2. You also wanted to know if it is possible to drive your without client vSphere vSphere hosts.
      Well, on vSphere 5 free, does not allow vMA for "write" for guests. So use withouth of some hacks and cheats sooner or later, you will need to the vSphere Client to manage the guests on your host computer.
      If you want to avoid the vSphere on your desktop/laptop client, you could install vSphere client on one of your guests on the vSphere host.

    Try the following steps:

    1. Disconnect and connect to VMware Desktop client (thick client).
    2. Go to home > hosts and Clusters > select any host Dell > click the tab "OpenManage Intégration" and wait for it to load

  • Migrate from ESXi hosting vCenter for vdSwitch

    Hello

    I'm trying to migrate my two 5.1 ESXi (port management and virtual machine) for distributed virtual switch but one of them host the vCenter 5.1. I import one successfully, but the one with the vcenter may not be imported. Is there a quick way to do without re install the vCenter?

    Thanx.

    If the vCenter is on a storage shared between two hosts of ESXi. Stop the VM vCenter. Once turned off.

    Connect to the two hosts individually using vSphere client by using the credentials of the root.

    Remove the vCenter VM inventory and re-register to the host using dvswitch.

    On the VM vCenter back and migrate the other host to dvswitch now.

  • Unable to connect to vCenter Server 5.0 using the vSphere Client - unknown error.

    I am trying to connect to vCenter using vSphere client (from different computers, including the server itself) and get this:

    vSphere Client could not connect to "vCenter_Server_IP_Address".
    A unknown connection error has occurred. (The request has failed because of a logon failure. (Unable to connect to the remote server))

    I am able to connect to the host directly, but of course, can't do anything with it since the vCenter is "in da house".

    There is no problem with it, not big changes and nothing indeed directly on the server vCenter (i.e. W2008r2x64) so, my confusion deepens. 5.1 ESXi

  • VSphere Client multiple connections to a single server vCenter Server?

    I have a vCenter Server that manages a few hosts. I know it's a bad habit to manage guests individually using vSphere Client, but I was wondering if I can have multiple connections to the same server vCenter Server vSphere client using the same Windows credentials?

    It seems counterproductive to only allow a connection to the server vCenter Server...

    Yes - by default, a connection up to 25 to vCenter

  • Cannot start device to host vCenter

    Nice day. I have a strange here and can't find any info on the web, hoping someone can help. I have 2 5.5 ESXi hosts, one of them is running device vCenter. I can't start the machine vCenter using the following command from the command-line... vmsvc/power.on vim - cmd 14 (14 being the ID of the device of vCenter). All other VMs on the host started very well by using this command. When I tried on vCenter, I get no response, no error, nothing. The order is always suspended more than an hour now. I already tried to simply recharge the host but got the same problem, trying to start vCenter device. The CLI is now completely useless... Can I push on and get a return transport but nothing else, cannot ESC, out of order or the CLI or whatever it is. Anyone seen this before? Any suggestions?

    This article solved my problem. I consulted the host directly through vSphere, has been able to view the data store and the files of the virtual machine. Renamed .vswp and .lck files and she pulled up in 2 seconds approximately. Much thanks to the author of this article

  • VCSA 6 - could not connect to one or more systems vCenter Server - but I already deleted it...

    It expires essentially like some other windows. Originally vcenter be largely unusable.

    I think that the main problem is that I can't remove a stale VCSA Mode related SSO. It causes hanging on login and many never completed processes. I could increase the time-out period, but this will not solve the bland entry which is the culprit.

    Here is the error that occurred within the VCSA. It is every time I have to refer to something to check with other vcenter servers. Given one is more accessible, it is not able to speak, causing a timeout. The data service has expired because a main task took more than 120 seconds. See the vsphere client - virgo.log for more details.

    Okay it looks like you can run the command cmsso-util. Time consuming but gets the job done.

  • How to pass the host vcenter is installed on?

    We just bought a new server that came with ESXi 5.0. We want to upgrade to 5.1 before adding virtual machines. We have only a handful of VMware servers, so this is the first time that we used vcenter. We licensed Essentials and installed vcenter VM and installed Manager upgrade on a server that is separate from Windows.

    When I try to upgrade from the host, it fails. I guess it's because I'm trying to get the same host I'm trying to get to level?

    I think that you do not use shared storage as you could just vmotion vcenter

    and with your lic does storage vmotion

    you have to pass the vcenter to another host.

    You can move VMs from the vcenter through a move/copy to another host via a data store browser

    or

    connection to the host, vcenter for export to the FVO, turn off vcenter. Connect to host2, import ovf containing vcenter.

    still a pain...

    or you could do manual updates on the host.

    Anyway its not too easy to do...

  • I/o control of storage - "connected to one or more hosts pre-4.1 version...".  No, I'm not.

    Subject says it all.  When I click on the control of i/o Storage box, I get the message '< name of the data store > data store is connected to one or more hosts pre-version 4.1 that do not control of storage i/o support.  This is false.  There are only two servers connected, and they are the two 5.0 with the latest patch.  What gives?

    Apparently, it's a matter of having the correct license on you host.

    One company more SIOC support so if any host without it is connected to the data store, you will get the error.

    After thinking that out, it was to allow only on data warehouses that are connected to the Ent host exclusevly + and it worked without any errors.

    The one with my installation/ISO-files must have this option disabled because it is shared with the hosts having licences below.

    Of course, I pulled my hair on the error and started watching the bad VMs now outdated information for VirtualCenter until I found this blog:

    Hello

    First of all, you said T_DATE as DATE data type

    v_date                                      date := sysdate -813;
    

    And then you try to use a timestamp like this

    to_timestamp(v_date,'DD-MON-RR HH.MI.SSXFF AM'),
    

    T_DATE's DATE, not VARCHAR2.

    You should try CAST to convert the TIMESTAMP DATE. Or. first convert the VARCHAR2 DATE, then by TIMESTAMP.

  • vSphere client using the name Netbios on ESXi host does not connect using the credentials of a Windows session

    I have 3 ESXi 5.5 hosts, all connected to a single server vCenter, where we try to authenticate directly to the host by using the windows logon credentials. I have installation of the Administrators group of ESX and filled with the admin accounts that I want to be able to authenticate to the host. The Netbios name of the domain is tstdomain (for example) where the domain name is tstdomain.com. If I connect directly to a host and check the checkbox 'Use Windows Session Credentials', the vSphere client will default by using the Netbios name of tstdomain\adminusername and the connection will fail indicating that the username and/or password is incorrect. If I enter the domain name of tstdomain.com\adminusername, I am able to connect to the host without error.

    Does anyone know how get past that this matter have the vSphere client uses the domain name or to use the Netbios name and connect with the credentials to active directory? I looked by editing the file/etc/hosts and checked that the SPN of the host is correct in active directory with the command hostname setspn - l, with no luck on one. I also tried to change the field of research for the Netbios name of tstdomain rather than the tstdomain.com domain name, also did not work.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions on how to correct the problem.

    Seems that this issue was due to a slow network and the connection timeout when you try to talk to the domain controller. I am able to connect with windows creds now, but the connection is very slow. I increased the default period of 30 to 60 seconds to help work around the problem.

  • vSphere Client 5 U1 unable to connect to the host of U1 ESXi 4.1

    Hello

    I'm having a small problem.

    I am currently using vSphere Client 5 U1 (5.0.0 Build 623373) to connect directly to ESXi hosts (still no vCenter).

    I can connect successfully to 5.0 U1 hosts, but I have a few hosts U1 4.1 inherited in the lab which I just can't connect with.

    A little research in the compatibility tables show that with the most recent client, I should be able to connect do former ESXi hosts.

    However, when I try to connect to this host U1 4.1, I get a popup to update with the message "customer support required files must be extracted from the 'vsphereclient.vmware.com' server and installed". And then I get a prompt to install/save a Setup program.

    What is this new installer? Another version of the Client? Have I not the newest one? Anyway, I can't complete the download for this new installer (connection failure).

    The host of ESXi 4.1 is on the network and I can connect with an older Client (4.1) that is installed in a different workstation.

    What happens here?

    Thanks in advance!

    You must install as vSphere client major versions (3, 4, 5) but VMware tries to make this process as transparent as possible. That's why it asks to install it automatically.

    Once installed, just launch v5 and it automatically and transparently pass the correct version if you connect to a 4.x server.
