  -Up to how many days I will be able to use virtual Center, even if the back-end database is down

  It's easy... as soon as your database goes down, Virtual Centre will drop.

  -What are the activities I'm *NOT* not be able to perform in virtual Center

  Virtually everything as deploy from models, vmotion, storage vmotion, user access through virtual center, backup solutions environment through virtual center management will not work until that recover you or re-create virtual venter and reattach the hosts.

  Basically things like high availability will work, you will be capable of powering the virtual computer (by connecting directly to the esx host) and to stop (as long as your license server is online). Your VM will also continue to funcrtion normally while the VC is in offline mode.

• using db even for srm as virtual Center

  Hello

  Is - this possible/supported the same external Oracle rac (11) to serve as srm database the virtual Center, using a different user, of course.

  Or should I have to create a separate database for Mrs?

  Thank you

  Peter

  Hi Peter,.

  SRM requires its own DB, since the SRM DB and the DB Server vCenter have requirements of the other schema. You can find the configuration requirements / information on the DB SRM in the creation of the SRM database in the SRM docs.

  Hope this helps,

• Storage Vmotion Virtual Center Server

  Is it possible to storage vmotion virtual Center

  4.0.0 Server? or are their any gotcha?

  I need to do, but I play it a little prudent

  Thank you

  The formatting of your post is a little messed up, but if the question is, can you sVMotion your vCenter VM, then the answer is Yes.  Still, it is after all just a virtual machine.

• Using of MS Cluster HA providing virtual Center 4.0

  Hi, we currently use ESX3.5 and Virtual Center 2.5, I'm about to start an update on all our services for 4.0 VSphere and virtual Center 4.0.  For the moment, we have a node two MS Cluster to connect to the DAS storage that supports Virtual Center 2.5.  I need to know if 1: VCentre 4.0 is supported running on a MS Cluster and 2: are there documents describing the process to create the cluster group.

  I did this several times for VCenter 2.5, but I am not able to find info on VCentre 4 and all my research seems to lead me VCentre Heartbeat.

  Any help is appreciated.

  The "Setup for Failover Clustering and Microsoft Cluster Service" for vCenter 4.1 can be downloaded from http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_mscs.pdf and vCenter 4.0 use link http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40_u1/vsp_40_u1_mscs.pdf

• Accident of ESX 3.5 but virtual Center did not perform vMotion on virtual machines

  Hello

  We have 3 ESX servers on Virtual Center 2.5. One of the ESX Server suddenly restarted due to hardware failure. There were 5 virtual machines on this particular ESX host.

  When we check all the VMs who resided on the ESX host touched, he has just restarted and didn't vMotion for the rest ESX servers

  The question is why don't the vMotion VMs to the rest of the other servers. The rest of the ESX host have more than enough CPU and RAM to accommodate all 5VMs

  My understanding of vMotion would be when an ESX host is down, all the virtual machines will be migrated to other ESX hosts on the cluster.

  When an ESX host is down, the migration of all virtual machines to other ESX hosts in the cluster is not a VMotion functionality, but this is a feature of VMware HA. The vSphere availability Guide:

  "VMware HA offering high availability for virtual machines by pooling their and the hosts they reside on in a cluster." Cluster hosts are monitored and in case of failure, the virtual machines on a failed host are restarted on alternate hosts. »

  Therefore, enable HA of the cluster to achieve the desired result.

  Best regards, Robert

• 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.

• Incorrect value for its use of virtual computer memory in Virtual Center

  Hello everyone

  I have a problem to track usage of the memory of some virtual machines in Virtual Center.

  The virtual center of the opening interface is reported to me that virtual machines have a use of memory about 95%. Accessible through the console of the machine, however, the Task Manager shows me a memory about 15-20% and 4% of the processor usage.

  The machines in question are among other the domain controller is working correctly.

  Thanks in advance

  Hi dmilazzo,

  I had this problem a few weeks ago. After updating my ESX hosts, this problem has been resolved.

  Are yours up-to-date?

• Deploy Windows 2008 Server X 64 reviews of model with customization on Virtual Center 4.0 using the ESX 3.5 hosts

  Deployment of Windows 2008 Server X 64 system of operating invited by using hosts Virtual Center 4.0 and ESX 3.5 implements a message telling me:

  Cannot deploy the model: customization of the

  guest operating system "winVistaGuest" is not

  supported in this configuration. Microsoft Vista

  (TM) and Linux with Logical Volume guests

  Manager are supported only for the recent ESX host

  and versions of VMware Tools. Refer to vCenter

  documentation for taken configurations supported.

  error

  This isn't just normal? Just today I upgraded to VC4.0 to be able to deploy my new servers based on findings on this forum. And no matter if I change the Machintype Vista x 64 or elsewhere Vista32 (what is wrong of course). Any other gopt experience with this?

  There should be no need to upgrade to vCenter4 just to be able to customize a W2K8 Guest.  We vCenter 2.5 and have no problem.

• Use a VDR on Virtual Center VM

  Is it possible to use a VDR to save a virtual machine that is running Virtual Center?

  Absolutely!

• XP Service Pack 3 VDI model - deployment use and Windows XP Service Pack 2 deployment tools?  VMWare View, virtual center of customization specification Manager.

  I'm setting up a VMWare View deployment and I need to configure Performance Manager in Virtual Center Customization Tools.  Use the deployment tools XP Service Pack 2 for my model pack 3 XP service or do I have to download SP 3 tools?  Documentation on the internet points to SP 2 tools, but I can't find a definitive answer for XP SP 3 machines.

  I don't think anything changed in Sysprep between XP SP2 and SP3 of XP.  I use Sysprep in an XP SP2 CD deploy.cab file to customize my XP SP3 image with no problems.  You should be able to use Sysprep tools on the CD for SP2 for your model.

• Use of Virtual Center with SRM

  I plan to our implementation of the SRM and understand I need 1 Center Virtual Server in each site. At this moment I have a unique virtual center server that manages both sites.

  Am I right in thinking that I need to have only the hosts in a site connected to the virtual center server in the same site and the same thing on the other side?

  Right now I am able to stop a virtual machine in a site and make a cold migration from one data center to another.  My understanding is that I'll lose this feature by going to a multiple configuration of virtual center. Is this correct?

  Thank you!

  Yes, it's okay...

  A VC on the protected Site. A VC on the recovering Site.

  As an ESX host may not be a member of two VCs, at the same time - you will be able cold - migrates both...

  Exported to the OVF format and import using OVF are perhaps - an alternative...

• How will I know if I use virtual hosts in my local test environment?

  I appreciate the help I get here, I don't really have. However, when I get answers in the form of questions that assume that I know what this person is talking about, I see nothing but more frustration.
  
  How do I know if I am using virtual hosts?
  
  What is a "root link"? Where would I look for, find or verify this?
  
  Once again, I installed Apache, MySQL and PHP and had initially set up a successful local test environment that worked very well for a short period of time.
  
  One day, something happened and when I make an effort to test a page while using DW8, I get this error in Firefox3:
  The URL requested / .php [filename] could not be found on this server.
  
  In other cases, I get:
  "Sorry, unavailable database"
  
  I so got the crazy idea to open pages in Firefox by double-clicking them in Windows Explorer and select Firefox from the menu "open with."
  
  Different result.
  
  This time, the pages open, without errors, but none of the content appears. As if she opens the pages, but the database is not responding.
  
  Look, I'm over my head, I know that. But I'VE learned until it happened. This has me completely obstructionisme and what I need is some advice clear and useful. I have NO IDEA where else to turn. The development of my site is to a sudden stop.
  
  Y at - it a setting I might have screwed up in DW8?
  
  Is there a MySQL configuration file that I need to check? If so, with what program?
  
  I'm desperate. If there is no help here, please let me know where I could get help.
  
  Thank you.

  David,

  Well, now I feel like a *' fool. That fixed it.

  And behold, it was indeed a setting I changed and messed up.

  Thank you for taking the time to help me. Your support means more that I can possibly put into words.

  See you soon,.

• ESXi and Virtual Center

  Hello

  I am currently running esx 3.5 and VC 2.5.

  I have a lot of spare equipment (thanks to VMware ) and had the idea to install esxi use local storage on some of them and use them for testing.

  (1) can import these boxes esxi in my esx virtual center server to manage (is not part of my clusters) and no intendion HA DRS Vmotion etc and therefore still free licience or do I need a licience esxi VC?

  (2) what I could use to migrate mailboxes to existing test of esx with SAN to my local storage under esxi, converter Enterprise Edition or just simply copy and paste on the network?

  Thanks in advance

  Joe

  Don't forget to backup EVERYTHING before you change anything

  (1) manage ESXi boxes requires additional licenses for VC agent on them, you can't do this with the free version.

  (2) converter would be the simplest solution (Standalone v4 is now available, for free, no more distinction between free/enterprise)
