Update Linked-Mode v4.1 to v5.0

Hey,.

I have four vCenters mode, all on the 4.1 update 1. I have checked the v5 documentation but can't find anything about upgrading vCenters who are already in the related mode configuration. Should I be aware of, or can I just hit them one at a time to get them all to v5?

See you soon,.

You can not join an instance of vCenter vSphere4 and vSphere5.  You have to break you're bound mode configuration, then upgrade as stand-alone hosts. From there, you can change the installation and link them together as soon as they are vCenter 5

  • vCenter Linked Mode and Perl SDK

    Hello

    our VMware environment is divided into two physical places represented as two instances of vCenter. The two vCenters are interconnected. I think that its Mode called "related"?

    Is it possible to use the Perl SDK also bound mode? Currently, I have to manually interrogate both our vCenters and then sort out myself.

    (1) How to configure Perl SDK so I only authenticate once against our environment in Linked mode?

    (2) How can I build queries against the API so results will include objects in the two vCenters? That is to say. If I run a ' Vim::find_entity_views (view_type = > 'VirtualMachine') "I want to get all the objects 'VirtualMachine' in the two vCenters I can avoid running two separate queries and then later combining query results? ".

    Thank you!

    It is not a published API method, but there is a way to get the vCenter server list in a group of related modes.  I have an explanation and sample code: http://www.virtuin.com/2012/12/querying-vcenter-linked-mode-with.html

    With respect to authentication, if your vCenter instances use the same permissions (which is recommended), then it's just a matter to authenticate each vCenter.  This is what the native client as well (if you have never installed vCenters with different permissions, you will see the login for each vCenter prompt).

    If you look at the blog post I linked earlier, you self an example of authentication each vCenter as well.  Basically you call Util::connect() two times, once for each of your URL for vCenter.  However, do not delete the global VIM uses the SDK package, or it will default to the last vCenter.  I show in the example script: LinkedModeExample.pl

    With respect to the combination of queries... not so easy.  You need to redesign each vCenter with $vim-> find_entity_views().  Now on a more advanced note, API is powerful enough to make custom inventory queries, you can usually pick up and keep the updates in your objects.

    What I would recommend as a simple approach is two calls to find_entity_views, then push them in a hash or an array.  You'll just want to use the UUID vCenter:

    $vc_uuid is $vim1-> get_service_content()-> {'about'}-> {'instanceUuid'};.

    The instanceUuid has been added in vCenter 4.x and later versions (do not have in the past 2.5 vCenter instances).  Then use this instanceUuid + moref as hash keys.  This is important because the morefs can be duplicated between vCenters.

    So, you can then create a hash:

    My % vm_hash;

    foreach my {$entity (@$vm_views)}

    My $moref = $entity-> {'mo_ref'}-> {'value'}; # will be vm-# for virtual machines

    $vm_hash {$vc_uuid.} "+". $moref} = $entity;

    }

    Then you can quickly research specific VMs and keep separate them between vCenters.

    You'll find it works for simple data queries, but you start to get more items of inventory (say for an inventory report), the relationship becomes more complex and the number of objects grow.  I did work to push these values in a database and files (including by running it on 5 or less than weight and WaitForUpdatesEx), excel, which works well if you have the time to build the DB and the work of database object schemas.  Just use instanceUuid + Moref value as primary key to prevent any moref vCenter cross reuse value.

    The other option is that the vim reference is added to each object, so you can just get the data of each entity:

    foreach my {$vm (@$vm_views)}

    Print "VM:". "." $vm-> {'name'}. "\n";

    Print "InstanceUuid VC:". $vm-> {'vim'}-> {'service_content'}-> {'about'}-> {'instanceUuid'}. "\n";

    Print "ServiceUrl VC:". $vm-> {'vim'}-> {'service_url'}. "\n";

    }

    I have a project that I tinker with in my spare time (which is rare these days) which aims to consolidate multiple vCenters into one database for queries and reports, but I didn't get far enough away from share it (very rude, but works for a subset of data at present, but it is very effective for collecting loose on<5s intervals).="">

    You can also look into VMware Orchestrator.  Orchestrator can connect to multiple vCenters and caches data for access by automation.  According to your WAN performance, he can work a geographic site and make sure that you need (just watch the moref, names of entities and other potential overlap between vCenters) aggregated data.

    You cannot uninstall Defender - it is a part of the operating system.

    To install MSE should properly to completely shut down Defender, because it contains an improved version of it. It is therefore likely that something has blocked the operation of MSE, or at least of its Setup program.

    My best guess is that you need to uninstall MSE and then run the removal tools for ANY other antivirus you have EVER had installed on this computer, and then reinstall MSE again. Norton and McAfee are particularly bad for this kind of problem. I also suggest uninstalling MBAM while MSE is being installed - just in case there is a conflict.

  • vCenter 6.2: Enhanced Linked mode between 2 sites

    Hello, everyone. I have 2 sites. Now, each site has its own VC and PSC external works well. Is it possible to configure the ELM between these 2 sites?

    Can I improved modes related between two areas of distinct vSphere?

    No, Enhanced Linked Mode requires that all PSCS in the same domain and replication. Two distinct areas of vSphere with no way to replicate the new APIs that provide ELM may not display the content of these two areas. For more information on the improved linked modes, see the section Reinforced Linked Preview Mode in vSphere Upgrade Guide.

    If the file ovfEnv.xml is empty, please check that the device has been deployed and powered through vCenter. If the device is powered through ESXi, the environment of the FVO will be empty and VRMS will not work. It is covered in the section of the admin guide.

  • vCenter Server Linked Mode or not?

    Hello

    I had the following scenario: I have an existing with 8 physical ESX host Esx environment and virtualized 1 vCenter server for all direction and 1 Cluster. Now (for Oracle license costs) my company advised me to create a second group of Esx with 4 physical ESX host.

    My question is related to the vCenter for the management of the two clusters. It is recommended to install a second vCenter Server for the Oracle VM Cluster and server vCenter link the two together (linked modes) or let them operate separately or use only 1 vCenter Server for the management of the cluster 2?

    In your opinion, what are the ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES?

    Thank you!

    Just bound mode will not give you solution Dr. bound Mode is used when there are two vcenters and they are linked together to achieve centralized management. It will all show you the inventory in both the vCenters. The first vcenter will both his and 2nd vCenters inventory and the second will have its own and inventory of 1.

    But using a UNIQUE multi-site authentication users/permissions will be replicated and since you have the replication table both of them should work together and give you DR.

  • vCenter Linked Mode Upgrade w

    Guy.

    I have two servers vCenter running (5.1) and 5.1U1 facility in bound mode. I plan to upgrade them both to 5.5 b and want to make sure that I understand the process regarding the related modes. I feel I will break the connection related modes before starting and then separately upgrade each instance of vCenter. I must point out anything during the upgrade of the main site? I guess I will have the opportunity during the installation of the secondary site to indicate that it will be a linked mode connection? Or this connection comes after the two instances have been implemented. Thank you guys.

    This fence, my response to remove the link between VC and then perform upgrades using multiple single sign - on bodies in different locations and after that the two sites are upgraded to link them returns with the configuration utility.

  • How to clean an installation Vcenter 5.5 missed a second server vCenter linked mode

    Hello

    First of all, my situation:

    I managed to install the following services on a single box:

    vCenter Single Sign-On (Vcenter Single Sign-on to your first server vCenter Server)

    vSphere Web Client

    vCenter Inventory Service

    vCenter Server

    The first properly installed vCenter (SRMVC.test.local).

    I then ran the installation on the second vCenter server (SRMVCDR.test.local)

    vCenter Single Sign-On (vCenter Single Sign-on for an additional vCenter server with a new site)

    vSphere Web Client

    vCenter Inventory Service

    vCenter Server (linked modes) * impossible *.

    I came across a mistake by joining the vCenter linked mode.  I then tried to force who do not have, and installation cancelled.   I think I am facing this problem described in this KB:

    Connecting two servers vCenter fails with the error: error 28039.Setup cannot join vCenter Server group related modes (1026087)

    http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2006850

    Now, I see a series of problems with the virtual machine that may be the root cause.  When I open the Server Manager there is an error when I try to view the roles or features.   The error I see is:

    Unexpected error refreshing Server Manager: element not found (except for HRESULT:0 x 80070490)

    To make a long story short:

    I don't really want to solve the problem on the virtual machine.  I think there could be a problem with the template I've deployed this virtual machine from and I would just blow it way and the redeployment of a new model. The problem is that, in the previous installs, I had trouble to reinstall a second vCenter after a failure to install because different services have already been registered with the first SSO server.

    My question:

    How to completely clean all the necessary components on the first server vCenter after a failed install a second server vCenter mode related?  I think that the second server is not only with its own UNIQUE authentication server, but also with the first server in the SSO site located on SRMVC.test.local.  I want to blow any trace of it so that the environment is pristine and so that I can use the same name of the second vcenter (VCSRMDR.test.local) when I reinstall.

    If the second vcenter also has its own SSO installed on the same machine and the second SSO has been installed in multisite mode (should be Yes, because the main goal is to related modes), you need a clean to the top of the first SSO vmdrd.

    VMware support specific utility to get this done, please file a case for support.

    Installing vCenter isn't going to be a problem, each installation has a user ID application created with the date of installation, this ID and certificate (which should be unique for a new installation, disable ssl programdata folders if re - install) are used to record vcenter to OSP.

    So the old entries will not be a problem for the other components.

    ever since the webclient service, you can remove users from the application:

    Log webclient with [email protected] the first web client.

    Under setting up users and groups, under the users Application tab, you can see all the application registered users.

    To identify that one to remove

    for vcenter, check the file C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VirtualCenter Server\ssoregtool\vssso.properties.

    Once you know the job vcenter ID, you can delete the ID of the other.

    Ditto for the inventory service, the inventory service ID can be found in C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Inventory Service\conf\sso.ini

    For webclient files is C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphereWebClient\SsoRegTool\sso_conf\solution.ini

    vCenter and webclient has a user record solution with sso, which must be removed from the command line. This is the KB for this: 2033238

    again, you can use the above mentioned files to identify the one to delete.

  • vCenter linked mode SSO

    Hello

    I am trying to understand the SSO with related modes works

    Today I have a vCenter installed with SSO installed as a base and. Now, I implement SRM here and after I install the second vCenter as base too much on the other site and try to create a linked mode an error pops up

    in ID incompatibility or something like that. I read that multisite is necessary to deploy related modes.

    How can I configure related here, but the problem is that I can't change the basic deployment in the first vcenter because it uses Nexus 1000V is a complex configuration for me.

    I can reinstall the second vCenter because nothing is yet set in.

    Thank you

    Unfortunately because you have it installed as a base, there is no way to install SSO multisite.

    According to the documentation

    "Server vCenter linked mode instances can be connected to different physical servers of Single Sign-On, but must be connected to a single Single Sign-On logical server. An only Single Sign-On logical server can be one of the following forms. »

    With 2 sets of basic mode, they are 2 physical and 2 logical SSO server.

    What should have been done is the first vCenter install SSO on the first node of a multisite SSO and when the second gets installed you create a UNIQUE authentication server separate but accede to the first node. Logically, this will be a single instance SSO so now both servers can be managed from a single web client and can be regulated in bound mode.

  • VCenter Linked mode

    Hello world

    I wonder something about vCenter linked mode. If you have two (or more) of vCenters connected through linked modes, and one of them fails for a reason that would happen?

    Could you still manage the vms host, which were managed by the vcenter fails?

    I can find almost everything I wanted to know the documentation and various blogs etc, but this question remains unanswered. Anyone with experience with this issue?

    Thanks in advance!

    Correct - if you lose a vCenter that you lose. Related modes will make no difference in this case.

  • PSD layers and updating links

    I love the ability to InDesign to show/hide layers PSD in InDesign and especially to see the Comps of the PSD layer files.

    But InDesign seems wrong to "remember" which layers / layers to show when the updating of links.

    An example:

    Let's say that a product is available in 3 versions: black, white, and blue.

    A DSP contains a productshot in these versions of 3 color using some common and some specific color channels. A model of layer with the color name is assigned to each set of layers that displays the version of color according to.

    Now, it's easy to place the PSD in InDesign, choose 'Object layer Options' (which can contain several other layers) and set the correct layer Comp (for example: 'blue').

    I put "when update link ' to"Keep overrides the layer visibility"to ensure that InDesign remembers the appropriate color when the DSP is changed.

    Now, you feel boredom coming... Let's say an extra red color should be added. I have the Red version (including a 'red' layer comp) adds the same PSD and save it.

    To update existing links, InDesign messes layer Options existing 'object '. The black version will now see the blue, etc...

    "Layer Comp" in "Object layer Options" shows actually 'blue' while he was 'black' before the update.

    Remove the Red layer Comp and save the PSD is yet to restore the right Comp layer in InDesign.

    I used this feature often, and update links never me caused no problems so far.

    Is this a bug, or are the link to update the options for not trusting (and I just lucky in the past was)...?

    Once you use the feature, you cannot add or remove a layer or a layer comp.

    This has always been a known limit. You will find the same

    happening with Illustrator files.
