• The upgrade to vCenter Server to vCenter Server 5.1 5.1 update 1 when the SQL database is remote and vCenter Server Heartbeat is installed

  Hi guys,.

  I'm in the middle of an upgrade to vSphere 5.1 5.1 vSphere update 1. I have vCenter protected by HB and SQL on a separate computer (also protected by HB) I also run Syslog, Update Manager and Proxy authentication on vCenter.

  I've successfully upgraded HB on all 4 nodes (2 x vCenter & 2 x SQL) and started the upgrade components on the secondary according to the •vCenter Server Heartbeat 6.5 server and vCenter Update 1 Installation on Windows Server 2008 when the secondary server is virtual (PDF) http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vcenter-server-heartbeat-65-u1-installation-windows-2008-virtual-guide.pdf

  I got to step 3.c

  3. change the primary/active server role:

  a launch of the vCenter Server Heartbeat wizard configure server and click the tab of the Machine to change the server role for the current server (primary) to the active State and click Finish.

  b using the Service Control Manager, start the Server Heartbeat of VMware vCenter service.

  c using the vCenter Server Heartbeat Console, check that all the status icons on the server: summary page are green indicating that the boot process is completed and protected from all the services are started.

  d using the Service Control Manager, stop the service Server Heartbeat of VMware vCenter.

  As the vCenter service does not start, I'm stuck at this point. As far as I'm concerned, the error is quite logical. I've updated vCenter using the secondary server, and then I'm trying to connect (according to the guide) with another version that breaks down.

  If I continue with the services stop and launch the installer SSO, it is trying to perform an uninstall!

  Did I miss something in this upgrade?

  Hi guys, VMware have finally updated the documentation to reflect the right way forward: https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/heartbeat_pubs.html U1 6.5 Select from the menu drop-down and you'll see the last date of update for each of the documentation is now 10/10/2013. The guide States now specifically to restore the vCenter database before proceeding with any other measure, this is copied below for convenience: "the upgrade of the main server of the upgrade process further guess upgrading the secondary server completed successfully. Procedure 1 before continuing the upgrade process, perform a restore of the database of vCenter Server, Single Sign-On database, VMware Update Manager database and SSL certificates that were backed up in step 4 on the secondary server. regards Ciaran

• The upgrade to vCenter Server 5.5 U1 beat vCO AD Plugin

  Hey guys,.

  I've recently updated vCenter Server (under Windows) to 5.5 U1, and so vCO has been upgraded to the latest version as well. It seems that the AD plugin has been upgraded to 1.0.4 - 763 and now can not be configured correctly. The vCO newspapers give the following:

  Furthermore, when I try to set up an advertising server by using the plug-in, I have the following problem, showing me one of the configuration objects is null - 'ConfigurationManager '.

  We do not use LDAPS, LDAP standard, so I don't see why we would receive an exception of encryption, and the 'ConfigurationManager' null configuration object is interesting.

  Is it possible to reset the configuration of the plugin, re-establish a connection, and try again? I prefer not to reinstall this vCO, as we have done a lot of configuration.

  Uninstalling and reinstalling the 1.0.4 plugin does not seem to solve the problem. I should come back 1.0.3 or can it?

  Thanks for all your help.

  Thank you, Christophe, who complained of being 'ConfigurationManager' being missing (according to the first message in this thread). That said...

  Rename/Delete the

  C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Orchestrator\app-server\conf\plugins\AD.xml and

  C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Orchestrator\app-server\server\vmo\conf\plugins\AD.xml

  and re - configure the plugin (1.0.3 in this case) AD, seems to have allowed the AD connection is restored. At that time, we were see errors in the vCO related to plugin configuration of the client (it seems that all the old cruft of 1.0.4 has not been completely cleaned), so I upgraded the plugin from 1.0.3 to 1.0.4.

  I can now browse through the structure of the AD in vCO as expected. A terrifying upgrade, plugin-breaking!

• The upgrade to vCenter Server Foundation to the standard

  I'm running vCenter Server Foundation and have reached the limit of 3 host. I bought the upgrade of Foundation to the standard, but I'm just curious as to what the upgrade process that is my license, so no downtime / a reconfiguration is required. Sorry if this has been answered many, I want just to get an idea of what I have to do once our license arrives.

  Thank you!

  Simply place the .lic file in the folder of licenses from the license server.  Launch of LM, then click Reread License File and it will go look for him.

  You don't need to replace the existing one that is there, just put another one there and it will merge the two files in the License Manager.

  1: Yes

  2: no

  3: no

  4: depends on what policies of power you are using.  Since vCenter is going to be offline you won't be able to start and stop machines.  The best thing is to change your feeding strategy for always under tension and ensure that all machines are available during the interview of vCenter.

• The upgrade to vCenter

  I'm about to upgrade our cluster of vSphere ESXi 5 to 5.5, but before I did I wanted to confirm that the upgrade to vCenter there is no downtime for virtual machines hosted.  I don't plan any, but wanted to make sure that no one had met something unexpected.

  Tony

  You do not wait to have a downtime of any virtual machines hosted by the upgrade to vCenter.

  If you upgraded to v5.0, then you also need to install VMware Single Sign On (SSO), which was introduced to vSphere 5.1.

  Unable to connect to the MKS: address for server esx02.mgmt.domainname.dk host lookup failed: unknown error 11002 (0x2afa)

  I'm new to VMware, I can very well do a MSTSC server and work proberly.

  the VMwareTools are out of date, when I log on the server and try to update I get the following message:

  

  any ideas here?

  I discovered that it is related to DNS

  WSATRY_AGAIN

  11002 (0x2afa)

  It is usually a temporary error during hostname resolution and means that the local server does not valuationauront of response from an authoritative server.

  the issue was that the VMware system was on a different subnet, and the firewall (TMG) blocked. bring the RDP to the Vcenter server and vsphere then open works like a charm

• ESXi installation before vCenter Server?  How can I get vCenter Server on a virtual machine on ESXi servers?

  My plan for a new vSphere Essentials Plus 5.5 U2a installation is to have the vCenter Server on a virtual machine on the servers of the host on which is installed ESXi.  However, all the installation instructions I found indicate the user to first install the vCenter Server.  How can I get vCenter Server on a virtual machine on ESXi servers?

  Thank you for your help.

  Hi munkyman welcome to communities.

  After you have installed your first ESXi host, open a browser and go to https://your-ESXi-ip-or-FQDN

  You can download the vSphere Client here. It is a windows application that you can install on your desktop. It is often referred to as the "c# Client vSphere" in communities and blog posts, because it is a new implemented in the vCenter Server Web client.

  But for the beginning, install the vSphere Windows Client. You can then launch it and connect directly to your ESXi host. Here you can create your first virtual machine, which can be the VM vCenter (installation of Windows or device, that is you).

  You can use the web client or connect to the Server with the client c# vSphere vCenter VCenter runs.

• upgrade windows vcenter 5.1 with oracle external to the appliance database virtual 6

  Hey people,

  We have a Windows external Vcenter 5.1 with an oracle database server. We would like to upgrade to an appliance Vcenter virtual v6 with an external oracle database. I was not able to find much info on this since most posts and blogs are based or sql.

  Is it as simple as deploying a new installation of a Vcenter virtuall device v6 and then connect it with our database current oracle and move virtual machines and turn from the old Server 5.1?

  GR,

  Michiel

  Welcome to the community,

  You can not skip vcenter windows 5.1 with oracle external to the appliance database virtual 6. You can improve windows vcenter 5.1 with oracle database external to vCenter windows 6.0 with external oracle database.

  From now officially VMware does not support migration from Windows to vCSA. But it is adventure, you can explore more

• Errors in the charge installing vcenter Server 5.5 with respect to the SQL database

  I do a new install of vCenter Server 5.5 on a new Windows 2008 R2 server. The database for this facility is pointing at a 32-bit Windows 2003 SP2 server. I installed SQL Native Client 10.0 on server vCenter Server 64-bit, and then I could make my DSN ODBC 64-bit connection. The vCenter Server install could very well recognize it, but after the installation got going he wrong on the database with the following error:

  Error 25003.Setup cannot create vCenter Server repository. The main reasons for this failure are:

  -The database is installed using insensitive case.

  -The database is remote and the client database version does not match the database version. If this problem continues to persist, see KB 1003960 for further assistance.

  Well, I know that the version of the client and the version of database do not match. SQL native client on the sql server is 9.00.5000.00 and the version on the server vCenter Server is 10.50.1600.1.

  I know that this version of vCenter is compatible with an installation of 32-bit sql server 2005 on a 32-bit server, 2003.

  I am not familiar too if they want upgrade me sql native client on the sql server, but is not compatible with the version of sql server on this server and there are several database for other applications on this server, so I don't want to jump into something like that.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  I install the native client SQL 2005 and give a shot.
