• The upgrade to vCenter 5 foundation

  Hello, everyone!

  I have several questions about upgrading to vCenter 5 foundation:

  (1) is editing Foundation vCenter is frowned upon in vSphere 6?

  (2) If a client vCenter Foundation 5 license and valid SnS, can it move its vCenter server to vCenter 6 Foundation?

  (3) if the customer has vCenter Foundation 5 license and SnS validates that lisenses must purchase for upgrade to vsphere 6?

  Please take a look at VMware KB: law Mapping for vSphere and vCenter Server which contains the official answer to your questions.

• 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 Question DB

  I'll create a new server vCenter for v5 instead of upgrading my current v 4.1.  The Act of installing vCenter 5 and say things to use my current DB upgade the DB?  Or do I need to upgrade my vCenter 4.1 for the DB upgrade, and then create the new server and that it points to the DB?

  No, you do not have update the vcenter server - when you connect the vCenter Server 5 to the existing database, he will see the database must be updated.

• The upgrade to VCenter 4.1 3.5U4

  Aloha,

  It is where I am now-

  A PowerEdge 2950 running VCenter 3.5U4 on 32-bit 2 k 3 to four ESX 3.5U4 hosts. Database is on a separate server from SQL2k8

  A second 2950 run 2 k 3 x 64 with a 64-bit DSN connection to the database

  The plan is to close the first machine and install VCenter 4.1 on the second machine. I have read the manual upgrade for this scenario

  and I can't really determine this. Assuming that upgrade work, if my datacenter, clusters and hosts just magically appear in the news

  4.1 client? Or anything that needs to be recreated?

  Mahalo,

  Bill

  you will need to copy the SSL folder out of the old server vCenter and the new creation of the directory structure before installing vCenter.

• The upgrade from vCenter for 64-bit

  I'm about to upgrade from version 4 to version 4.1 vcenter server and I have a few quick questions. I am a little concerned about the part of the database from the upgrade.  We currently have the database on a server remote windows 2003 and I was curious what, if anything, I have to do to the database if I use the DataMigration tool?  I have a new 64 bit server ready to go, but I'm a little curious what needs to be done to the database and it is ok to point the new 64-bit to 32-bit SQL server vCenter?  any help is appreciated.  Thanks for a great site!

• 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.

• 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:

  2014-05-12 12:11:14.141 - 0400 [WorkflowExecutorPool-thread-1] ERROR {[email protected]: Configure Active Directory server: 8a6abc61-9f1e-4b75-84e3-5f7ed902af57:1d74889645f12cdf0145f133c1e20009} [MSPluginFactory] condition of credentials are corrupted.

  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 '.

  2014-05-12 12:11:14.251 - 0400 [WorkflowExecutorPool-thread-1] WARN {[email protected]: Configure Active Directory server: 8a6abc61-9f1e-4b75-84e3-5f7ed902af57:1d74889645f12cdf0145f133c1e20009} Script Runtime error [WorkflowItemTaskRunner] on the workflow: Server Configure Active Directory / 'Configuration' (item1) update: ReferenceError: 'ConfigurationManager' is not defined.

  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!
