The traffic between a host ESXi and vCenter Server is secure?

Dear team,

You pray let me know is traffic between a host ESXi and vCenter server (vice versa) is secure?

The VC and ESXi version is 5.1U1a

Mr. VMware

Default SSL certificates are installed automatically. However, you can configure the third-party SSL certificates to make the environment more secure.

  • Want to take the certification VCP6-VTC, but I finished the 5.5 ESXi and vCenter Server 5.5

    Hello

    2 years ago I had the training for 5.5 ESXi and vCenter Server 5.5 - I wonder if that would satisfy the requirement and allows me to pass the exam VCP6-VTC?  Or should I stick with the VTC VCDP5 only?

    Have you taken after school.

    5.5 vSphere install, configure and manage.

    If so, please attend vSphere: what's new [5.5 to 6.0]

    It is a 2 day course that will allow you to take the exam VCP6-VTC.

    Otherwise, take VCP550 review and upgrade to VCP6-VTC in taking 2V0 - 621D.

  • Change the view hosts ESXi and Vcenter Ip addresses

    Hello

    Because of our new zoning, we need to change the IP addresses of all our guests view ESXi as well as our vCenter server View.  Is it still possible without altering the DB ADAM that uses the view?

    Thank you

    Mooge

    If your ESX hosts are added to vCenter by host name and your vCenter are added to the view by hostname that you should be able to make this change without affecting the view.

    If your vCenter is added by IP, then you will have problems.

    If your ESX hosts are added by the intellectual property so that you can use maintenance mode to migrate all the virtual machines on each host, remove from the inventory, then add it to the cluster using the new IP or host name. View should have no problem with what we don't reference the hosts by their host names in any sort of statically.

  • The upgrade of our guests 5.0 ESXi and vCenter Server 5 and 5.5 Enterprise Plus

    We are the 4 upgrade hosts of ESXi 5 to 5.5

    We add 4 more guests with own ESXi 5.5 installed

    We are also upgrading our vCS 5 in the vCSA 5.5

    Using Enterprise + licenses

    Question: I'm trying to understand the best way to achieve this transition.  4 guests run about 100 virtual machines and 4 guests we add are clean slates.

    That's what I think... Please help me guys

    1. once the 4 new hosts are installed in the Datacenter clean running ESXi 5.5 I will deploy the vCSA ovf and register 4 guests with the Linux-based device.

    2. now, I have 4 new 5.5 ESXi hosts registered and running with vCSA 5.5 but I still have my old 4 guests with ESXi 5 and registered to the old vCS about 100 virtual machines running WIndows

    3. at this point I think stop on my older hosts 4 virtual machines and remove them from the vCenter Server inventory Windows and everything just their registration with the new vCSA

    4. Will be all my virtual machines or transferred with the hosts if I close them and put the hosts in maintenance mode?

    5. now, I should have all 8 guests registered with my new vCSA.  But the original 4 hosts have yet to be upgraded to ESXi 5.5

    6 move 100 virtual machines to the new 4 hosts running ESXi 5.5 and upgraded the 4 former hosts.

    7. now, I should have 8 guests with ESXi 5.5 using the vCSA

    See you soon!

    Pretty much.

    To make things easier, you can deploy the EGGS for vCSA in your current vCenter (if I remember correctly import an OVA using vCenter allows you to set certain options that should be set to the vCSA shell). After making sure that the vCSA online & configured, you can then install ESXi on all your new hosts, add them to a cluster in the vCSA and put a few trials of virtual machines on there to confirm the network setting is configured correctly. Once it's done (and assuming that the old and the new hosts use the same shared storage) you can stop the vCSA, remove it stock Windows vCS, please write it on one of your new hosts and turn on. You have now two environments (5.0 and 5.5). Next if you disconnect a host from 5.0 vCS (with virtual machines running on it), you can then connect it to the vCSA 5.5. Assuming that the vSwitchs standard networking of the exchanges that are the same name in both environments, you now can vMotion VMs between host 5.0 and 5.5 cluster. At this time, you can repeat with all remaining hosts until everything has been made the transition without service interruption. This will leave a lot of old objects in your old 5.0 vCS, but if that is getting trashed it isn't a big deal.

  • Interoperability ESXi and vCenter Server

    Dear Sir

    You can use the vCenter 5.0 or 5.1 with ESXi 5.5?

    The version of the vCenter server must always be greater than (or equal) than the vSphere ESXi version.

  • What is the difference between Livecycle install OS and application server?

    Hello world

    Is there a difference in the installation between the two Windows OS or Linux?

    I am confused here given so many variations and possibilities, for example.

    Windows - JBoss / Web Logic / Websphere

    Linux - JBoss / Web Logic / Websphere

    Anyone here found any good combination in the production? Please share it here.

    Thank you

    Albert

    It depends on what the customer IT infrastructure consists of.  IBM stores tend to use WebSphere/AIX with DB2 as the database.  Free workshops tend to have JBoss/Linux.  Oracle stores tend to have WebLogic/Solaris with Oracle as the database.

  • Need help to change a creation of VM PowerCLI script to support host ESXi and vCenter

    I have the below script that I created with much help from LucD - thank you! This has served me well for my lab procedures rip - replace so far. This script works when I run it against my single ESXi host when it is not connected to my server vCenter, but it throws errors when I run this script when the host is connected to vCenter and it fails to implement the controller SCSI Paravirtual. I think when the host is under the control of vCenter that changed some of the settings.

    If I point to the vCenter instead of ESXi host, I still get the same problem. In addition, I would also add the ability to create virtual machines in pools of different resources of a cluster of vSphere. My name in data center's LAB and my Cluster is called Local with pools of resources like TestLab, etc. see Horizon.

    Ideas please!

  • ESX, ESXi and vCenter and virtual machines

    Hello all - I need to re - certify my VCP this month so I decided to sit down this weekend to set up a virtual lab.  I managed to get ESX, ESXi and vCenter working all in s vm on my laptop in less than 4 GB.  I use Player version 3 for now.  I have Workstation 6.5 but I have to spend my VCP to get a key of 7 workstations and improve it.

    The manual is a bit long, but here is the link if you are interested.  I'll update everything to Workstation 7 after my review.  I hope that some of you find it useful!

    Nice - Thanks for posting.

    I doubt that you must update for Workstation 7 as VMplayer 3 is nothing else than a torn Workstation 7. It has the same basic functionality.

    So, nothing will be different if you use Workstation

    By the way - Starwind is really nice simulate a San.

    Another interesting thing, that you know may not...

    It is possible to assign up to 8 GB of RAM to your virtual ESXs, even if the host itself has only 4 GB of RAM.

    For this I have

    prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = 'TRUE '.

    prefvmx.minVmMemPct = '5 '.

    in the file config.ini from the host. Do not run and then

    Using this trick, I was able to run 4 ESX virtual machines on my laptop 4 GB RAM running 2 k 3-32 bit host

    One has been able to run vCenter Server Appliance on this material?

    vCenter Server Appliance does not start

    I run ESXi 4.1 on a server and more office built a user-friendly machine for ESXi 5

    ESXi 5 start ok, installs and runs a test VM ok.

    But after downloading appliance vCenter server and deployed the ovf, the virtual machine will not start.

    I'm reasonably confident that the deployment was OK, as I've done it before on ESXi 4.1 (but on a server with Xeon processor).

    I've been through settings and advice re longmode, but just can't get the right settings.

    Thanks in advance for any response

    In order to run the 64-bit clients, you need to enable 'VT - x' in the system BIOS. In addition to this I also recommend you activate "Execute Disable Bit" and - if necessary - disable "VT - d" as well as "Trusted Execution". Once done, save the BIOS settings and the power of the system (power power off) cycle. If this does not resolve the problem, thanks for posting the latest vmware.log of the virtual machine.

  • What is the difference between HP Photo Creations and Snapfish

    I've been curious.

    What is the difference between HP Photo Creations and Snapfish?

    Hi Jeff17866. The difference between these two services are the location, accessibility and share-ability of the recorded images. Snapfish is a photo on the web edition and sharing and belonged to printing HP service. You upload your images on the Snapfish site and share with other sites (Facebook, Flickr, etc) by selecting the appropriate options. The images are then stored on the cloud, and you will be able to access it from any device with Internet access. So, if you want to easily share your photos with your friends and family around the country, Snapfish is a great tool to do. HP Photo Creations is a photo editing software that you download to your desktop. You can edit your photos and order prints just as with Snapfish, but all pictures remain on your hard drive. They can be shared by downloading files on the sites you want the images appear, but you are not able to access it on other devices. -Chauntain
