Update/migration 2.5 to 4 on the other server vCenter

I read the vSphere Upgrade Guide. In particular at page 49 the topic "upgrading to vCenter Server on a different Machine and keeping the existing database" seems to correspond to what we intend to do.

We have a 2.5u4 physical vCenter with SQL 2005 local and we wish to migrate to vCenter 4 on a local virtual machine with 2008 x 64 with SQL 2008.

Some questions I have:

Q1: What happens to all the 3.5u4 of ESX host? Are they automatically made the new FQDN to the new destination server name? Are they members of the same cluster...

Am I basically look the same except for: a) I am now on vCenter 4; (b) my vCenter server name is now different and GUESTS know this change.

Q2: What happens to all Virtual Machines? They are members of the same groups / pools of resources etc.

Basically, T1 & 2 are the same, the guide does not seem to explain what happens after the process upgrade/migrate as clearly as I would like.

Q3: What time is it "safe" uninstall the SOURCE server vCenter?

VCP3 32846

VSP4 VML-306798

All the guests reconnection and cluster reconfiguration will be done automatically. You don't have to do anything manually after the migration. Please make sure that the users and groups who use VC inherited is available on the new configuration also.

I think it will be a good idea to uninstall VC inherited when vCenter 4.0 is operational and works correctly with all the hosts and reconfigured clusters.

  • Migrate to the new server vCenter hw

    I make plans to migrate all my my old hardware of server vCenter ESX hosts to a new (and much faster). Both vCenter servers are version 4. To delete a my old vCenter ESX host, I need to put it in maintenance mode. Maintenance mode means turn it off or by moving my VMs to other hosts.

    Is there a way to move my ESX hosts to the new server vCenter without voltage VM?

    Hi bjornl,

    If you need to keep the virtual machines running on the host computers, while removing a cluster host, data center or same vCenter, and then select the option 'Disconnect' first. The host shows as grayed out and disconnected. Once in this state you can 'remove' the host of your first vCenter.

    Create your new data center and then "Add host" Cluster in the new. Everything will be powered on your virtual machines.

    The only issues I've had with this is if the original or the new cluster using vMotion improve compatibility (EVC). This aspect must correspond to both ends. Once you do this, it works fine.

    Hope this helps,

  • Common cause of failure of the Mirage server in clustered environment and how customers will be switched to the other server in a cluster

    Hello

    Can someone share me information about common cause of failure of the Mirage server in clustered environment.

    And how customers will be switched to the other server in a cluster to continue their operations from the server failed.

    Kind regards

    C Bathesha

    In general, Mirage servers are not lacking. It is very rare (and not, for example, to problems of storage or endpoitns, which are more common).

    May raise problems of overload, memory or hardware malfunction too little.

    After that you make server standard troubleshooting (the etc system event log), you must file a Service request by VMware.

  • ESX3i - create the Pool of resources on the other server?

    I have 2.5 VC and ESX3i in a DRS and HA cluster. Whenever I have create a Resource Pool, he always pulls data from a server, it it never draws from the other server in the cluster.

    So I have a total of 8gigs and 16ghz but when I try to allocate resources it shows that I have 4 gigs.

    No idea how to fix this?

    That limited calue will fluctuate because memory is used by VMs - and looking at the use of the DRS you have a host that memory is 80% used and theother 40% used - so he has a lot of memory used.

  • To the other server VMware Update Manager

    According to the VI3 hardening guide, it is advisable to have VMware Update Manager (VUM) and vCenter on separate servers.  When I uninstalled my vCenter Server VUM he seems to have left the VUM tables in the vCenter SQL database.  Now when I try to install Crossover on the new server and point the vCenter SQL DB, it states that the DSN points to an existing repository of VirtualCenter and asks me if I want to reset the database and start with a blank configuration.  Since this DB has all my information for vCenter, I'm not sure what to do.  Should I go into the database and manually remove the VUM tables?  Will be the only blank reset tables VUM in the comic book?  Should I create just a separate database for AUVS and a partner on the new VUM Server DSN?

    The last time, I just create new DB on SQL Server. Then configure the DSN point to VUM DB. Proceed with the installation and it works perfectly so far.

  • Cold DB RMAN backup & restore on the other server: best procedure?

    Hello

    A few days ago I did a cold backup of the GR 2 CARS DB 11 with the following commands:

    srvctl stop database d DBPOC

    RMAN target / < < EOF

    bootable media;

    run

    {

    assign the channel c1 type disc format ' / tmp/dump/coldBkp/%T_%d_DBID%I_s%s_p%p.bkp';

    backup of database TAG 'BKPCOLDDBPOCC' keep until 'sysdate + 1000';

    backup current controlfile TAG 'BKPCOLDDBPOC_CTL' keep until 'sysdate + 1000';

    backup spfile TAG 'BKPCOLDDBPOC_SPF' keep until 'sysdate + 1000';

    output channel c1;

    }

    SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;

    quit smoking;

    FO %

    srvctl start database-d DBPOC

    srvctl start service d DBPOC

    Then noticing that I need a copy of controlfile I also did:

    backup current controlfile copy format in ' / opt/dump/oracle/coldBkp/currentctlfile.ctl';

    He made a set of files in the file/tmp/dump/coldBkp system that I copied to another server, resembling:

    20130912_DBPOC_DBID23987234897_s371_p1.BKP... plus my currentctlfile.ctl.

    I copied everything on another machine in/tmp/rest, where the same structure of fs and ASM

    starts existed; then run the following commands to restore this DB on

    This new server:

    1 / set some env variables

    2 / cp initDBPOC.ora /opt/oracle/app/ora11g/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs

    3 / sqlplus: Startup nomount pfile=/opt/oracle/app/ora11g/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/initDBPOC.ora

    4 / rman: restoring controlfile to ' / location/of/coldbackup/files/currentctlfile.ctl';

    5 / rman: sql 'alter database mount;

    6 / rman: catalogue start with "/ location/of/coldbackup/files";

    [Type here YES]

    7 / rman: restore the database;

    8 / sqlplus: recover database using backup controlfile until CANCEL;

    [immediately cancelled the first required archive log]

    9 / sqlplus: alter database open resetlogs;

    The procedure has worked.

    But I'm not happy with this, I thought I could have done with RMAN. However, I discovered

    e.g. a CONTROLFILE RECOVER with the HELP of BACKUP is not possible with RMAN etc etc.

    and I had to swith back to sqlplus, surprisingly.

    Am I missing orders RMAN should I used? Y at - it another way - more simple? -of

    perform this restore/recovery simple thanks to the RMAN utility only? Or is my error in backup

    the first place and I should have used other commands for backup?

    Thank you very much in advance for any advice you can give me...

    Kind regards

    Sébastien

    Hello

    You can use

    RMAN > RECOVER DATABASE;

    and for the time being, you can use

  • Communicate the guests as well as the ESXi Server VCenter?

    Hello:

    We deploy a solution virtual machine using Vcenter and ESXi 4.1 the VCenter logically is in a different subnet from the ESX servers.

    Is it true that the VCenter server does not need to communicate with the IP addresses of the colleagues of the BONE... and that the vcenter needs access to the IP addresses of the ESXi servers? What (if any) features is lost if the Vcenter server talks to the ESXi ip addresses?

    Please advise and thank you,

    vCenter communicates only to host servers ESXi and vSphere client only connection. vCenter is unable to communicate with the virtual machine, such as the virtual machines are linked to different virtual switch that would have properties different network (vlan and etc.).

  • Comments of the NAC Server replication

    I have reimagee one of our NAC comments 2 servers and I now want to restart replication.

    To set up replication using two comments Cisco NAC servers, the IP address of the remote server is configured on each server, and one of the following 2 options must be selected:

    "This node contains the data.

    "This node will copy the data of the other node.

    Is 'this node' the remote server or local server (where the configuration is done)?

    The initial replication is configured by putting one of the Cisco NAC comments servers to copy all the data from the other server of comments. The comment server that is configured to copy the data from the other device is first set to remove all its own data. This ensures that no conflict exists. Cisco recommends the introduction of replication during the initial installation of the server Cisco NAC comments, or when you add a new comment server to an existing implementation. Once one of host servers received a copy of the data from the other device, they are synchronized and replication is enabled. All data that are updated on a single server of comments are then automatically replicated to the other server of comments.
