• If the patch management can be done by VMware Update Manager in vCenter Server Appliance as similar vCenter Server

  Hi friends,

  If patches of the host management can be done through Vmware Update manager vCenter Server Appliance as in vCenter Server.

  Tell me other differences between them...

  Kind regards

  1. Yes we can connect to the device using the vSphere client.

  2. in the installation of the update manager VCenter information will ask and he will automatically fit no special measures required.

  3. no conflict. Its just like you have two vCenter servers, but you can not have two server vCenter managing the same hosts.

• vCenter update manager install - vcenter server isn't compatible?

  I try to install vcenter update manager.  I tried the two 4.0 update 1 and 4.0 Update 2.  Both give me an error in the first step of the installation when I specify our vcenter server, port, username, etc.  He states:

  "vcenter server is incompatible with the vmware vcenter update manager that you are installing.

  We run vcenter 4.1.0 (build 258902).  I can't find any information on this error.  Was hoping to find an answer here before opening a SR with vmware.

  If you use vCenter 4.1, you must install VUM 4.1, which can be located on the vCenter installation CD in the folder updateManager.  VCenter is a 64-bit application, VUM is not and still requires a 32-bit DSN.

• Try to update to Virtual Center Server

  I've recently started a business and need to update their virtual Center Server, they run the 2.0.1 version.  When I try to download updates VMWares site won't let me. It says I need a license for Virtual Center 2.0.  I see that the company has a license for version 1.0, but I do not see a 2.0.  Could they have had version 1.0 patched to 2.0.1?  How are they able to run 2.0.1 version if they do not have a licesnce for her?  How can I move forward with this upgrade.   I am also able to download updates for ESX server, virtual center just not.

  I would call VMware and know who registered your VM products and if the interview is still active. Having the license file will help if they do not find you in the database. If you use Notepad, you can view the license file and it should show you what you licensed and have a name associated with it.

  Something like that

  Graceful Muchos!

  Tom

  Hello

  just in a few short points - for more information, take a look at the white papers:

  .) Download vCenter 4.0 U2 since the download portal

  .) see white papers and the hardware compatibility guide that U2 will have no problems with used equipment

  .) make a backup of your database/Installation vCenter

  .) connect to your vCenter Server server

  .) Run setup.exe

  .) first run the pre-upgrade tool

  .) Run Installation vCenter - this will make an update to your vCenter and your database

  .) then run Installation Manager update - this will update your system Update Manager

  .) now update your Client to vCenter

  .) Update your hosts for U2

• Change of host and domain name ownership virtual vCenter Server... issues to know?

  Looking to change the name and domain membership of our vCenter server v4.0 virtual host\system to harmonize them with the rest of our servers and make it consistent with our security policy.  Are there things I should be aware to allow migration of fluids before, during or after the change of name and the field?  The vCenter server is a unique system that hosts all the necessary services and applications for vCenter, so there is not a second box that he speaks for something out of control two ESX servers for the cluster on which it resides.

  Yes... Especially in vSphere where there is no license server is all the function key.  I don't foresee any problems.  But if you use a license server may want to change your license IP source if it is not already.

  You can also simply restart the vpx on your ESX host agents if you see weird problems

• Upgrading Linux with Update Manager virtual machines

  We have just started testing vSphere and upgrade equipment and the VMtools to version 7. He managed servers on Windows, but it does not immediately work on Linux servers with the following error "remediation of linux vms only is not supported". Is it possible to do this without Update Manager or is there a workaround? We have a mixture of Red Hat 5 and Fedora servers.

  Thank you

  Scott

  I subscribe to a service of Red Hat to upgrade VMware Tools and hardware version 7? This does not appear to make sense.

  You said "clean up" which implies you want to PATCH Linux VM, not simply upgrade the hardware.

  This part is easy.  Power off the virtual computer, right-click, VM version upgrade.  VM boot. Click on VM-> comments-> install / upgrade VM tools, this will mount the CD.

  Use the console to double-click on the CD, run the RPM vmtools.  It SHOULD encourage with upgrade or install as new.  Once installed, launch the Terminal Services session to the redhat.

  type:

  vmtools (tab hit), it should autocomplete, vmtools-implementation to date... something like that.  Run this command.  A bunch of stuff happening on the screen, just hit enter (to accept all of THE defaults) (or reply y/n as the case).  The option highlighted, pre-selected will be correct.

  restart the virtual machine.

  Voila, done.

• Can Update Manager in vCenter 4 push ESX V3.5 updated?

  I'm starting to plan the migration of our organizations to vSphere 4 and vCenter 4.  I was not able to determine if Update Manager vCenter 4 can make out patches ESX V3.5?  Does anyone do this?

  you're right, the answer is Yes.

• VCenter Server 5.5 update question

  I would like to install my vCenter Server Vsphere Update Manager. I have the Enterprise more of ESXi installed version. I am able to start installing Update Manager installation with worries about licenses or do I have to update my authorization to install the Update Manager? I looked online but I could not find any info on this subject.

  Thanks in advance.

  Manager update comes with the ISO of the vCenter Server. The only thing to make sure is that you must have compatible versions of the vCenter and the Update Manager. That is to say, you can install Update Manager with vCenter Server 5.5 5.5 only.

  And Yes, it takes a 32-bit DSN to connect to the database.

• upgrade esx 4.0 to esx 4.1 with Update Manager

  I'm trying to update the host esx 4.0 to esx 4.1.  The documentation I've read says that you can do this with the Update Manager in vCenter server.  I'm new to vmware/esx/vCenter esx and has just installed 4 a few months ago.  I'm following the instructions contained in the vCenter Update Manager Administration Guide.  I've already updated vCenter Server 4.1 and the guide is for version 4.1.  Top of page 90, say the instructions open the Update Manager and then choose the tab that says "host upgrade releases.  I don't see this as an option.  When I open the Update Manager, I see the following tabs: Getting Started, baselines and groups, Configuration, events, repository of Patch and that's it.  What Miss me?  I've read about this update 4.1 since last week and followed the 4.0 to 4.1 upgrade guide.  I want to download the upgrade zip I have download VMware but have no idea how to get it in the Update Manager.  Help, please.

  Thank you

  Kristi

  Which version of the Update Manager are you using? He should be in 4.1 to 4.0 to 4.1 ESX hosts improving

• Service component of VMware Manager fails to start in vCenter Server 6 Update 2

  Hello

  A brief idea of my test environment:

  VCenter servers:

  VC1 - recorded at the psc1 in Site1

  VC2 - recorded at psc2 in Site2

  External Services platform controllers:

  psc1 - Site1

  PSC2 - Site2

  SSO domain: vsphere.local

  I upgraded from vCenter Server 5.5 update 3d to vCenter Server 6.0 Update 2. VCenter 5.5 servers had integrated / embedded of SSO and all services running on the same machine and were in modes related before the upgrade and I have them removed modes related before the upgrade. They have been upgraded to vCenter Server 6.0 with Embedded PSC and they entered automatically improved Linked Mode (ELM).

  After the previous step, I deployed the PSC external psc1 respectively 2 and psc2 mode of replication with vc1 and vc2 in the same site Site1 and Site2. I migrated then boarded two PSC vCenter servers to their respective partners external PSC of replication by running the command cmsso-util reconfigure - repoint-PSC "psc1/psc2" - administrator user name - domain name "vsphere.local" - passwd "Hasło_Administratora." This operation ended successfully and my vCenter have been reconfigured as vCenter Server with external CFP.

  After that, I followed article KB VMware 2127057 (agreements ofdetermination of replication and the State with the service controller 6.0 platform (2127057) |) The VMware KB) do psc1 and psc2 external replication of the PSC 2 partners either by running the command vdcrepadmin-f createagreement-2--h psc2.clifford.local h psc1.clifford.local u Administrator w 'Hasło_Administratora '. I ran this command psc2. Also, this operation succeeded, and when I ask the State of replication of the psc1 of replication partners and psc2, there is nothing wrong. However, after restarting my vSphere Infrastructure, I see that vc1, psc1 and psc2 have all their services started successfully.

  VC2 services seem to be failing, especially the service component manager of VMware which is required for many other services start. The VMware HTTP Reverse Proxy service starts properly and I have no IIS role / feature installed on my machine. The error message that occurs when you try to manually start the service is also attached as a file Error2.JPG in the discussion. The Windows event log error is as deeply as the file Error3.JPG in the discussion.

  Please let me know how to solve this problem as soon as possible.

  Well, I found a solution myself.

  In fact, after I created the external PSC 2 psc1 and psc2 partners of replication of the vc1 and vc2 in Site1 and Site2 respectively, I had to immediately follow section KB VMware 2127057 in order to create a replication agreement between the 2 external to the PSC psc1 and before psc2 I reconfigured and show the vCenter servers vc1 and vc2 of on-Board of the PSC outside the PSC following the VMware Documentation (Center of) VSphere documentation 6.0).

  That's all.

  Thanks to all for looking into it.

• iSCSI storage presented to the hosts managed by different vCenter Server - questions?

  I currently have three hosts (esxi 5.0) that are managed by vcenter server 5.5 U2. The hosts are attached to iSCSI LUNS (data warehouses) 10.

  I'm migrating to esxi 6.0 U2. For this, there are three new hosts have esxi 6.0 installed and managed by vcenter server 6.0 U2 U2.

  The plan is to detach/remove 5.0 5.5 U2 vcenter esxi hosts. Then import it into vcenter 6.0 U2 (a new cluster will be created). Once imported, uninstall the 5.5 vcenter u2. Then turn off the resident VMs imported esxi 5 hosts and move them to 6.0 esxi hosts.

  My query is regarding regarding storage.

  At present, three new guests see all storage the old 5.0 esxi hosts to see (guests are not in the cluster. "I'm still trying to put things up). That's because the new hosts were deposited to the same group on the side iSCSI initiator storage. Now things, data warehouses are visible by the hosts with esxi 5.0 (managed by vcenter 5.5 u2) and also the esxi hosts 6.0 (managed by vcenter 6.0 u2). The only VMs residing in esxi environment 6 is vcenter 6.0 u2 and update manager 6.0 u2. These are in a data store that is not any other virtual machines.

  That's no problem during the migration? I have not created a cluster for the esxi 6.0 hosts yet and plan to do after obtaining your entries.

  Thank you!

  No problem whatsoever, regardless whether if you do or that you add no vSphere 6 hosts in a HA cluster.

  If you temporarily enable EVC on the vSphere hosts 6, once all hosts are connected to the same vCenter you can VMotion all VMs to new hosts even without any stop. Clear CVS once the migration is complete.

• Process of upgrading 3.5 host with vCenter server Virtual

  Hi I have recently updated my old server from client to vCenter 4.1 virtualized VI, sitting on my 3.5 cluster.  I intend to use the Update Manager to upgrade my guests, but I don't know how the virtual vCenter server is going to face?  The plan was: 1. move all the virtual machines off-host 1.  2 put the host in maintenance mode 1. 3. on the vCenter server, create a base, then line at host level 1 to 4.1. 4. now - at this point add this host in the cluster? And migrate the server vCenter top, so I can upgrade the other two hosts?  If the works above, then it should be quite a nice update, if you cannot add the new version of the host of back in, how you vMotion the vCenter server off so you can keep control of the cluster.

  IMO, it should work. To upgrade from 3.5 to 4.1, your ESX host must be in 5 update (see http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_upgrade_guide.pdf) already.

  If VMotion or migrate the server vCenter Server - for some reason-does not work, you can delete vCenter Server of the inventory of the old host and add to the inventory of the new host.
