The vCenter server's FULL domain name.
People,
Using vSphere SDK Web services, is it possible to get the domain name FULL of the vCenter server that I have connected to? For example, foo - test.domain.com is the name of a field FULL of my RESUME, but I can connect to the Victoria Cross with SDK giving the name as foo-test. Once connected, is their any property by which I can get the FQDN of my CV, IE like foo - test.domain.com.
Help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
-Mani.
(1) this property reflects maybe just how the guestOS has been set up if she had the FULL domain name or not, I'm not 100% sure but I always put my host names a FQDN. You can watch the underlying guestOS to see how it is set up compared to others which show the COMPLETE domain name
(2) your original question was on vCenter FQDN, this property as mentioned is only for vCEnter and not for ESX (i). If you need to search for this information, you must watch the HostSystem that represents your ESX or ESXi host. You'll want to take a look at the HostDnsConfig property to find the short hostname under the host name and the domain under the domain name and that will provide COMPLETE domain name.
I think the best way to interrogate this information actually uses your DNS infrastructure, it is what it is. Looks like not all your environments are configured using domain name FULL which in my books, is not a best practice. If this is the case, what data are only as good as the original configuration in order to make virtual infrastructure out of the image and simply use DNS to query for it. It is trivial to extract the IP addresses of your vCenter and the host ESX (i), so you can use it as a base to make your look up.
I also recommend to take a look at the API reference documentation, it is the best place to find this information and using the search feature is also very useful to fine-tune the properties that interest you - http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk41pubs/ApiReference/index.html
I hope this makes sense

VimService returns localhost instead of the FULL domain name?
Hi all
I'm looking to automate the deployment of virtual machines under vSphere 4 Update 1 via the SOAP using PHP service. When I ask the vimService.wsdl file, I see the following XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!-- Copyright 2005-2009 VMware, Inc. All rights reserved. --> <definitions targetNamespace="urn:vim25Service" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:interface="urn:vim25"> <import location="vim.wsdl" namespace="urn:vim25"></import> <service name="VimService"> <port binding="interface:VimBinding" name="VimPort"> <soap:address location="https://localhost/sdk/vimService"></soap:address> </port> </service> </definitions>
Why is the referenced host here 'localhost '? Should not the XML continue my code of points my vCenter Server's FULL domain name? It's throwing me for a loop, because when I try for any transaction on the service established by PHP SoapClient instance, my code expires because it tries to connect to localhost instead of the actual address of my Server vCenter.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Even more useful would be a code example using PHP 5.3 SoapClient class (as opposed to nusoap, that I've seen it used, because it is not fully functional under PHP 5.3). Thank you!
Hello
"< soap: address location ="https://localhost/sdk/vimService"/ > in the vimService.wsdl specifies localhost in the address location because the wsdk is generated from the server and the server is localhost to himself." However, the location of the address can be changed. Now, when we're trying to establish a connection to a particular server (vCenter or host), when running, that the location of the address is replaced with the URL that we spend in the VimServiceLocator method getVimPort. In this way, established the connection to a particular server when running.

Hi all:
Mystery - I have a Win 7 work company that cannot access a particular action. I get the following error-"you are not allowed to access \\server\users. Contact your network administrator to request access. However, these users can access these files successfully on other computers, and also if I use the fqdn or the IP instead of the "netbios name server", it connects successfully.
Environment:
-Workstation and server at the same time in the same AD Windows 2008 r2 domain.
-All users, admin and non admin, cannot access this share when connecting to this computer only.
-ACCESS to the other actions on the same server, as well as actions on other servers.
-The biggest mystery to me - if I type the FQDN, \\server.domain.local\users, it works! What the?
I tried:
-Deletion of the domain and add it again, no improvement.
-Check Event Viewer, nothing jumps (not red or yellow).
-Enabled auditing for access to objects on the server, it does not show a failure in the security event log.
-Turn off the firewall of my computer.
-UN-share and re - share the directory.
-Give everyone full control (the fact that it works well with de facto authorities a little full domain name, a candidate little likely, but I have an open mind).
For anyone wishing to offer their 'help' by asking me to make some sort of workaround as re - install windows or turn off netbios or use only of the full domain name here on out or whatever, please Don ' t bother. I appreciate your help, but I am quite able to reinstall and I'm not interested unique hacks that affect this otherwise network well managed, I'm looking for a solution that will allow me to save time and is a long-term solution.
In my view, that a key point here maybe I can connect successfully using \\server.domain.local\users, but not \\server\users. Someone at - it some thoughts?
In DNS server of youe, go to the area in question and in the use of select search before Wins wins tab and enter the address of your wins server if you have one. If not, install one.

Hello
We have a new environment vROps 6.1. Everything works like a charm, except when I get the Web Client vSphere. Hosts and Clusters - monitor - health, I try to click on the "see details in vCenter Operations Manager" and I get sent to the IP address to one of the nodes in the cluster vROps. This translates into a certificate error. We have signed all the certificates for the solution of vROps, but that doesn't help us when the link refers to one IP address. Any way to change the behavior of the link to go instead of the full domain name?
Thanks in advance for your comments.

Cann add host with FULL domain name
Hi guys
I removed a host esx cluster 1 and he added in another but the esx host name does not appear as a FULL domain name. I enter the FULL domain name. I also checked (ESX), network (ESX) host and to host files to the server VC 2.5, have all FULL domain name.
It is not somehow domain FULL of taste. now, some administrators are complaing about error when you open the console virtual machine that is on the host in question "address host for server search failed.
any help will be appreicated
Thank you
AJ
You can remove the ESX host to vCenter? Once removed, connect you to the service console and update the host name?
Root@server root # hostname newname
say so your ESX host FQDN is esxhost.domain.com (below would be the command)
Root@server root # hostname esxhost.domain.com
Once that is done, try to add it to vCenter as FULL domain name. You are also, that there is no entry of host file on your host, which can be listed with vCenter shortname?

Customer view Windows - FULL domain name question
I was wondering if someone had met before?
I have a small view Horizon 5.3.1 of the network running test. I have 1 connection to the server and paired 1 security server. I have no problem with my security server sitting in my DMZ for use with remote access. The problems begin when I try to connect to the server of connection when I'm on the internal network. When you use the latest version of the Windows client view (running on Windows 8.1 x 64) and tryping in the FQDN of the server connection, I just get an error immediately says "unable to connect to the server. If I use the IP address then it works fine, but obviously is of no use, because I can't verify the cert.
I had problems in the past with the help of short DNS (which does not), but I am not concerened that I want to use full domain in any case names.
I checked the DNS and everything seems fine. If I ping domain name FULL of the connection to the server, I get a reply, all other servers are accessible by their FULL domain name and access HTML works fine using the FULL domain name and my certs check out OK.
It sounds like a problem in the Windows Vista client. If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful.
Thank you
Pete
It really depends on the whole upward. But we use the same URL for both. Ours are the same.
Example of
And we even put Blast Gateway for HTTPS for security servers and the connection.
then when you pull up to your customer. To connect to the server, simply type in view.domain.com and it should work if you have DNS entries on the DNS server for your domain.

FULL domain name v IP to install &; matching site
During the installation of SRM, the local VC is specified. ADX FQDN or IP can be used but FQDN is recommended. At the time of the twinning of sites, remote VC is specified, and even once, FQDN or IP with the FULL domain name as best practices. But what is important, regardless of the method is used to install, then same method should be used when matching.
My question is what do I do if you do not have? In other words, what happens if you use opposing methods (FQDN and IP or vice versa) installation and then matching? What breaks?
The documentation is strict for the sake of simplicitly. Basically, the need for the game has to do with SSL and server certificates verification. By default, when the SRM connects to the VC Server he expects the DNS assertion made in another name for the subject certificate VC to be an exact match of the IP/domain name FULL used to access this VC. If the local SRM uses the IP addr to reach a given VC and MRS. remote uses the FQDN to reach this same VC, for example, the statement in the certificate can not compete two values.
An exception to this is the case where, during installation, the user chooses to accept the certificate of the VC based on the footprint. In this case a VC certificate gets checked on each SSL connection that is only based on the footprint and the affirmation of DNS is not required to match. I guess that's the case, you see here.

ISE profiling - matching with endpoint of FULL domain name
I am trying to achieve a condition of profiling to match the FULL domain name. In this example all ministerial posts have the following common FQDN:
ABCD - machinename.xyz.com
I would like to match on everything except the machinename, which can be a joker. I tried to configure the condition of profiling is
IP:FQDN CONTAINS ^(abcd)*(\.xyz\.com)$
I never get any matches on this page or any variation I've tried. When I look at endpoint in the identity, I see the entire FQDN as an attribute.
Can someone help me with the correct syntax to match to a FULL domain in this way?
Thank you

Health HQ->; Agents tab issue with FULL domain name
When I go to the HQ health-> Agents tab, I see some of my platforms have the FULL domain name noted quite rightly hostname.domain.com (or other). However, some of them only the IP address of the list and have no FULL domain name. I checked and these IP addresses do not have matching PTR DNS records, so I don't know why this should happen.
Can someone tell me why this is happening?
Hyperic entering these data? It does not appear to conduct research at the time the listing agent is created. Maybe when the platform is created? If so, how I would solve this? Can I just update a column in the database with the correct information?

vCenter install fails when you try to install the vcenter Server to the node of the PSC in HA mode

We are able to go beyond the question of the installation. We did the capture of packets on both ends and discover that the reset was issued the installer by the licensing vCenter service running on the PSC.

Cannot connect to the vcenter until 10 minutes after the vcenter server computer starts
I get the unable to connect to remote server message in vsphere client when I try to connect the server vcenter. However if I wait more than 10 minutes, I can properly connect to the vcenter server.
Is there something wrong with it?
And I wonder if the competent services to process the requests of connection on the vcenter server are not started immediately from the start?
Where is installed your database? On the same box of vCenter server? If so, change the other boot option that delayed may not work because your vCenter will try to start before the database is online.

Locking ESXi 4.1 mode access confirmation no access to the vCenter Server
Hello
ESXi 4.1. I see options in conflict with access to a crowd that had lockdown normal mode activated via a server vCenter VM on a host in the cluster. The vCenter server that sits on one of the hosts in the cluster lockeddown then became inaccessible or unresponsive connectivity wise. So no connectivity between vCenter VM or VM vCenter and hosts. Is someone can confirm if you can connect to this host lockedown by DCUI with root and disable lockdown configuration to allow the vSphere client to then connect to the host with root and troubleshoot the server vCenter VM?
I read in some messages that this is only possible if the vCenter VM is in place and the communication to the host. I also read that it is possible no matter what the State of the vCenter server once Total lockdown (disabling DCUI) is not enabled.
I have this reference of the 'The new lock in ESXi 4.1 Mode' blog http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2010/09/the-new-lockdown-mode-in-esxi-41.html
"With active locking Mode, the only direct access to the host that remains open is through the DCUI. This allows to perform administrative tasks limited outside vCenter Server, such as restarting the management agents and the display of the log files. In addition, you can also disable Mode of Lockdown since the DCUI. This can be useful if vCenter Server is down or unavailable, and you want to return to a direct management of the host. Normally, without locking Mode, any user to the Administrator role can open a session in the DCUI. However, in lock Mode, the root password is necessary; no other user can connect.
Can anyone confirm.
Any other person who may not be sure these questions, I can confirm that with root credentials, you can connect to the host directly and disable the lock mode regardless of the availability of vCenter. Only if the Total lock mode turned on, or should I say DCUI is disabled, then you have no choice but to go through vCenter or reinstall and reconfigure the network. VM would be always available if local or have to be reassembled and re inventoried etc.
