• upgrade from 5.1 to 6.0 vCenter fails with the error

  Hello together!

  We wanted to do an upgrade of vCenterServer 5.1 to 6.0.

  But we get an error after that I have to enter the vCenter Server credentials.

  It is the following error message:

  Error: IP address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is present in the certificate subject names alt but under DNS key.

  This ip address cannot be used for installation.

  Resolution: use a dns name or ip address that is present in the subject of certificate alt names or regenerate the ssl certificate for the SSO before continuing.

  I don't know what to do.

  I think that Yes, that's what he meant.

  Quick question: have you checked with HCL before the upgrade?

• Lack of Configuration section in VAMI, vCenter active watch is not Accessible after upgrade from 5.5 to 5.8

  Hi all!  I'm having a bit of a problem that I can't find a solution for anywhere.

  I have a lab with two boxes of vcsa under 5.5 U2d, and wanted to move to 5.8 SRM.  I started the VRA 5.5.1 (I do not remember, real version number which was with MRS 5.5.1), mount the ISO 5.8 on both sides, restarted both, took the update of the CD (following the official update steps), but after the restart, the two vCenters show "enabled (not available)" and still list it as 5.5.1.

  I have validated the RV service is running.  I have been following this thread, regenerated certificates for the TWO vCenters & TWO VRAs: vsphere upgrade from 5.5 to 5.8 Server replication enabled (not accessible) has yet no joy.

  I checked the CROWD and the IP address is correct.  I tried to check /opt/vmware/hms/conf/extension.xml for the thumbprint and the file does not exist on each box, the only thing it is extension - template.xml.

  On the one hand, I have reset the vCenter database (/ usr/sbin/vpxd - d of VMware KB: reset the vCenter Server repository embedded for vCenter Server Appliance 5.x ), deployed a new VRA 5.8, and he had to register very well.  It's then it dawned on me what missed me: almost all the Startup Configuration where you specify the vCenter (see attachment)

  For grins, I recorded the VRA 5.8 of the 'old' vcsa work and tried to save it to the 'new' vcsa, which he could not with a lot of what looked like errors, assuming that because of 'new' vcsa already having a recorded SOAP VRA.  I re-recorded it back to the 'old' vcsa and is happy.  Installed SRM 5.8 (uninstalled 5.5 because I started with a clean database in the vcsa) and all is well on the side of the 'old '.

  I'm trying not to go this route on the 'new' side, as I a VDS, vSAN and twice as many hosts, so I won't recreate the vDC, cluster, add guests, etc.  I copied to /opt/vmware/hms/conf/extension-template.xml /opt/vmware/hms/conf/extension.xml and restarted.  Footprint arises, but still no configuration tips.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Thanks for your reply. You said that the VRA is on a cluster, East of thatcluster HA-enabled? Because where HA must restart the VRA on another host, it does so through the ESX host and this could have emptied the OVF environment. And to even you'll always a working configuration until you start the upgrade or you try to perform any operation through VAMI configuration page. To be on the safe side, I think before upgrade, you can power off and then turn the unit on (simple restart is not enough) to make sure that the EPS of the FVO is recreated.

• vCenter Storage Monitoring Service Service initialization failed after the upgrade from 5.1 to 5.5

  I recently upgraded from vCenter 5.1 to 5.5. After the upgrade, I started getting health warnings for the VMware vCenter monitoring of Storage Service that say "failed to initialize the Service." I restarted the vCenter server and restart services several times and who has not deleted the question. When I look in the SMS. LOG file there is no activity in it since I did the upgrade (a week or more there). All prior activity in the SMS. JOURNAL seems to be well upward until the upgrade took place though. I found at least half a dozen KB articles that describe the various reasons why this error may occur, but they all relate to older versions of vCenter. Just to be complete, although I saw the symptoms in the articles and none of them really seem to be the same as what I see. My hypothesis is that perhaps the SMS did not get properly re-installed upgrading because I don't see any SMS subdirectory in the directory \Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\tomcat\webapps but I do not know if this directory must exist on a 5.5 installation.

  If you would be grateful if anyone has any advice for troubleshooting for this type of error.

  Thank you

  Change the credentials of the service account for VMware vSphere Profile-Driven Storage Service to those used to start the VMware vCenter Server service and the service of VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices. By default, the account used Local System.

  Restart the service, the change was made, and then check.

• 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!

• Upgrade from 5.1 to 5.5 - problem with VClient and inventory VCenter

  Hi all

  I just upgraded our VCenter of 5.1 to 5.5. All done successfully without warnings or errors. Verify that SSL certificates are still valid.

  Has decided to upgrade the databases too.

  Here's the problem:

  If I use the webclient service I have to use a user name in the format user@domain and then I connect successfully, but connected once the inventory is not empty, no host at all.

  If I use the VClient, it simply doesn't: failed (unable to connect to the remote server (o) connection.

  I tried to fix it by reinstalling the service inventory, but after that the error is the same.

  We have seen, it is because less 5.5 AD inheritance behaves differently, because it does not inherit.

  If you follow the steps on this link it should solve the problem for you.

• Upgrade from vCenter Server 4 to vCenter 5 problems

  I am trying to improve our server vCenter for ESXi 4.1 5. I ran the pre-upgrade and he reported no problems. After you have started the server vCenter 5 install received a message that it could not solve the COMPLETE computer domain name. I was connected under my auto (domain administrators) and could ping a domain FULL of my laptop. Is this an error message to the stop.

  Then the installation wouldn't let me select the use of the local system for the Server service account. We have SQL 2008 installed on the server by using domain connections. At this point, I stopped the installation. Do I have to create a new domain account for the service and add it to SQL with SA privileges?

  I have the downtime scheduled for this Monday finish the upgrade of our vCenter Server.

  Todd lemmiksoo

  I recently came across the error "could not resolve field FULL of computer name", and which has proved to be a wrong PTR record in the reverse lookup zone. If there is an incorrect or missing PTR record, which could lead to this error.

  You can consult the VMware Virtual Center Server service on your existing installation of vCenter to see which account is used on the tab log now? If it is not currently using the Local System account, you may need to use the account specified on the screen during the upgrade. If now it uses the Local System account, I don't know what to tell you on this subject.

• Upgrade from 6.0 to 6.2 horizon view

  Hello

  I will update 6.0 seen Horizon to 6.2 in two weeks. I read the guide 6.2 upgrade and have my flattened upgrade plan, more or less.

  Now that I'm not sure of the East (this is the first time that I am ignorant version), is / was there of any changes from 6.0 to 6.1 which must be taken into consideration, but is not mentioned in the guide to 6.2 day?

  Also, I currently don't have implemented SSO implementation. How the look of the task would get SSO running? Think to implement SSO before the update... one thing at a time...

  High level of questions, I know. But I am happy to provide more details if it is necessary.

  Thank you

  The date of issue for Horizon view 6.0.1 6.0.2 6.1, 6.1.1 in detail what is included in this version.  The release notes for 6.2 will include shades or known issues related to the upgrade to this version.

  It does not appear that the upgrade from 6.0 to 6.2 is supported.  Page 11 of the upgrade guide indicates that the 'latest version of VMware Horizon 6.0 (with view) maintenance, which is 6.0.2"is the supported platform that allows to upgrade.

  Also, when the upgrade of your Agent view, uninstall existing agent, restart and install the new agent of 6.2.

  Check the Product Interoperabiity matrix to ensure your versions of vSphere and vCenter are supported in point 6.2.  Also, do not forget to check your version of DB is supported in 6.2 (for the composer and DB events) here.

• Upgrade from ESX3.5 to vSphere 5.0

  Hi all

  I have a project to upgrade on update my old host ESX 3.5 and VirtualCenter 2.5 to the most recent and vSphere vCenter Server 5.0 and 5.0.

  After having read in the doc upgrade and because of the environment is small, I decided to build a new vCenter Server from scratch rather than go through the upgrade process (mainly due to wanting to put vCenter on a virtual computer, upgrade the operating system to 64-bit, separate the VCDB on an external SQL Server etc.).

  I'm hoping to do an orderly migration where I vMotion VMs off-a former host, upgrade to vSphere 5, and vMotion the VMs, then turn it back on for her.

  My question is quite simple (I hope):

  Can I add vSphere 5.0 ESXi hosts and ESX 3.5 hosts in the same Cluster HA (assuming they are configured the same way in regards to the vSwitch and vMotion) after I added all hosts in vCenter 5?

  This is so that I can vMotion VMs ESX 3.5 hosts former on the new 5.0 vSphere hosts after an upgrade of the host.

  Virtual machines are all alive and I can't afford to have downtime...

  Thanks for your time...

  -Anthony

  Hi Anthony,.

  -There is no direct upgrade from ESX / I have 3.5 to 5.0

  -See link that has the checklist of HA and on ESX 35 x patch requirement inorder to add to 5.0 HA cluster

  http://pubs.VMware.com/vSphere-50/index.jsp?topic=/com.VMware.vSphere.avail.doc_50/GUID-BA85FEC4-A37C-45BA-938D-37B309010D93.html

  -If you upgrade VC25Ux, make sure that host certificates enabled, other wise HA configuration breaks down, link above has this info also

  -Yes, VMotion works between 5.0 ESX hosts and ESX35x whether network, CPU compatibility are according to the needs.

• Direct upgrade from esx 3.5 to esx 4.1

  Hello

  I've already upgraded to vCenter 2.5 to 4.1, now I'm upgraded by train from esx 3.5 to esx 4.1 and all of the articles and videos that I have read say that I need to download the upgrade zip file and do the upgrade through VMware host update utility (as I am only upgrade 2 hosts).

  However, when I try to download the zip file, the only option I get is

  ESX 4.1 Update 1 (updated the ZIP of ESX 4.0)
  Use this package with vCenter Update Manager 4.1 U1 or vihostupdate vCLI or esxupdate command line to upgrade ESX ESX 4.0 to ESX 4.1 update 1.

  Which allows an upgrade to version 4.0 (or if she says).  Can I use this zip file?

  I even went back through all the versions 4.0, and there is no upgrade for 3.5 anywhere zip file?

  How can I make this update of the utility of the upgrade using the host?

  Concerning

  Steven

  In my view, an error in the above steps.

  Are you using ESX and ESXi, you will need to download ESX 4.1 install ISO for upgrade from ESX3.5 to ESX4.1 driver

  You must use vCenter Update manage or esxupgrade.sh for upgrade. No other tool as vihostupdate, host update utility etc. are not supported.

  For more details from vCenter update manager, refer to the admin guide and for esxupgrade.sh, see http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1009440&sliceId=2&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&dialogID=170100028&stateId=1%200%20170096294

• Question on Vsphere upgrade from ESX3.5 update 3

  We currently have our VCServer and race, but I'll be upgrading for Vsphere 4.0 Update 1. To do this, I need to build a new server, because our current server is not compatible with the hardware requirements. First of all, is there an easy way to migrate the settings from one server to another? Also the networks I will build as my local lan and my dmz, network adapter settings, etc... be there when I take my guests on the new Vsphere server. Are the specific server VC parameters or appearing in ESX boxes themselves?

  jkoelker wrote:

  So since I only change my virtual Center Server and without changing the physical material of boxes ESX but upgrading from 4.0 I still need to worry recreate all my settings. Depending on your position, the parameters are all specific to the ESX boxes and not the server Vcenter himself? I read that correctly? The only thing that happens is my Vcenter server. I'll put as the utility to update on what will update my esx boxes and Vsphere.

  If you do an upgrade to ESX4, so yes all the settings will be retained.

  I was under the impression that you have been rebuild the ESX host, that would be my choice of the upgrade.

• VPN access no longer works after upgrade from 10 IOS!  Any input to fix?

  Hello howlindaug,
  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  If I understand your message that your employees will no longer be able to connect to your virtual private network with their iPhone 5 or 6 after the upgrade to iOS 10. Sierra Mac OS and iOS 10 delete a VPN profile PPTP connections when a user upgrades from their device. If your VPN is a PPTP connection, you'll want to use one of the options listed in the section below:

  Prepare for removal of PPTP VPN before upgrade you to iOS 10 and macOS Sierra
  

  Alternatives for PPTP VPN connections

  Try one of these other VPN protocols for authentication by user that are safer:

  • L2TP/IPSec
  • IKEv2/IPSec
  • Cisco IPSec
  • VPN SSL clients on the App Store, such as those of AirWatch, Aruba, Check Point, Cisco, F5 Networks, MobileIron, NetMotion, Open VPN, Palo Alto Networks, Pulse Secure and SonicWall
