• upgrade windows vcenter 5.1 with oracle external to the appliance database virtual 6

  Hey people,

  We have a Windows external Vcenter 5.1 with an oracle database server. We would like to upgrade to an appliance Vcenter virtual v6 with an external oracle database. I was not able to find much info on this since most posts and blogs are based or sql.

  Is it as simple as deploying a new installation of a Vcenter virtuall device v6 and then connect it with our database current oracle and move virtual machines and turn from the old Server 5.1?

  GR,

  Welcome to the community,

  You can not skip vcenter windows 5.1 with oracle external to the appliance database virtual 6. You can improve windows vcenter 5.1 with oracle database external to vCenter windows 6.0 with external oracle database.

  From now officially VMware does not support migration from Windows to vCSA. But it is adventure, you can explore more

• The upgrade to ESXi 4.1 with Update Manager - disconnect SAN?

  Just noticed a patch was released for ESXi 4.1, if I deploy this hotfix with Update Manager, do I have to disconnect the SAN in order to install the host?  ESXi make his case of scanning for unformatted volumes and format when it restarts first after being patched?

• Upgrade to vCenter 4.0 with Cisco Nexus 1000v installed

  Hi all

  We have vCenter 4.0 and ESX 4.0 servers and we want to upgrade to version 4.1. But also Nexus 1000v installed on the ESX Server and vCenter.i found VMware KB which is http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1024641 . But only the ESX Server upgrade is explained on this KB, vCenter quid?  Our vcenter 4.0 is installed on Windows 2003 64-bit with 64-bit SQL 2005.

  We can upgrade vcenter with Nexsus plugin 1000v installed upgrading on-site without problem? And how to proceed? What are the effects of the plugin Nexus1000v installed on the server vcenter during update?

  Nexus1000v 4.0. (version 4).sv1(3a) has been installed on the ESX servers.

  Concerning

  Mecyon,

  Upgrading vSphere 4.0-> 4.1 you must update the software VEM (.vib) also.  The plugin for vCenter won't change, it won't be anything on your VSM (s).  The only thing you should update is the MEC on each host.  See the matrix previously posted above for the .vib to install once you're host has been updated.

  Note: after this upgrade, that you will be able to update regardless of your software of vSphere host or 1000v (without having to be updated to the other).  1000v VEM dependencies have been removed since vSphere 4.0 Update 2.

  Kind regards

• Upgrad question, vCenter Server 4.0 Update 1

  Hi all:

  This is my first post, and it's really stupid!  HI HI!

  I look at my Server vCenter.  In the help about it says: I'm on the #208111 build.  But apparently the update 1 build # is: 208156 build?

  When I download the ISO for the full install of update 1, it says I have to remove my vCenter continuous server rather than upgrade offer.  I found the Patch 1 file that says she is replaced by installing already on the server.

  What I am doing wrong?

  you are in the correct version for vCenter4 U2.  The other version number you see includes all modules

  VMware vCenter Server 4 and modules

  Installer of VMware vCenter Server (build 208111), VMware vSphere Client (build 208111), VMware vSphere Host Update Utility, VMware vCenter Update Manager (build 208126), VMware vCenter Converter (build 206188), VMware Guided Consolidation vCenter and VMware vCenter Orchestrator.

  We have guests ESX and ESXi 4.1 and just got a new host ESXi 5. We must now be upgraded vCetner to version 5 server in order to manage the new host. I know 5 4.1 manage vCenter hosts but do I need to be wary when it comes to the host that maintains the virtual computers view or the view Server 4.6 VM itself?

  According to the comapbility matrix View 4.6 is not supported under vSphere or vCenter 5.

• Upgrade to vcenter OS = problems with ADAM

  I recently improved my OS from 2008 to 2008 R2 vcenter. I created a new virtual machine, stole the name of the former vcenter, vcenter package installed and attached to the database. Everything works fine, however I'm continually getting the following error message in the event viewer for the VMWAREADAMVCMSDS service.

  The following FSMO role owner is set on a server that is deleted or does not exist.

  Operations requiring contact with a master FSMO operation will fail until this problem is corrected.

  Is there an easy fix for this?

  When you deleted it as an instance of bound modes, you crossed the vCenter Installer and chose to "insulate the vCenter Server Instance of the Group of related modes"?  You can do the two vCenter the Instance in question and the one with which he was associated, with as always, they may think that they are related.  Maybe link them again and then go through the process of linking not them

• vCenter 5.1. Update 3 has no upgrade path?

  The path to upgrading Solution of the matrix of interoperability shows that there is no way to upgrade available in a vCenter Server 5.1 updated 3 or ESXi 5.1 update 3.

  I'm having a hard time to believe that the latest patch for the 5.1 versions cannot be upgraded.  Normally a reconstruction would do the trick, but there are built-in replication and SRM and I need to upgrade in place.   Anyone upgraded the 3 to 5.5 5.1 update update 2 or whatever it is between the two?  I really hope it's just a bug in the interoperability matrix.

  Indeed, this seems odd. However, from the date where the 5.1U3 has been provided (5.1U3 in 12/2014 - 5.5U2 09/2014) there is a good chance that 5.1U3 already contains code that is not integrated in the 5.5U2 yet, but might come with 5.5U3.

• The upgrade of the VCenter 2.5.2 update 4 vCenter 4.0

  I am preparing to update our virtual Center Server.  I read in the guide.  It seems straight forward.  I have listed the steps that I follow. Any comments or advice would be appreciated.

  1. our Oracle database and resides on another server.  The DBA will upgrade the 11g database before the upgrade to vCenter.  This was recommended in the guide

  2 upgrade vCenter Server - our virtual Center Server is a physical box.  We currently have loaded on the Server Update Manager, converter, and Capacity Planner.  I watched the video of upgrade and it suggested to have these additional software loaded on another server.  Is this a good practice?  Does anyone have these load on their virtual Center Server?

  3 HA\DRS - I have three HA\DRS clusters.  Problems with this reconfiguration after the upgrade?

  4. I manage 3.0.1 by 3.5 hosts with the new version of vCenter.  Fix ESX, one host at a time in the coming months.  Expected problems?

  Thanks for any help!

  Don't believe the hype.  What's weird, people have no problem to put 4 vCPU virtual machine and 16GB of RAM and SQL server, but on a PHYSICAL machine, they wince over 2 services on the same machine... I find it VERY strange.

  We UM, Capacity planner, blah blah converter on the same machine, no problem.  They are on one different server other than VC however, only because at the point where I was trying to diagnose a problem with the Windows machine, and it turned to be a driver for the CARD, which has long since been corrected.  When I updated to 4.0 VC, so these are all on the same box... Well good except for the UNIFIED messaging and it is only because the other machine has back-end storage / DB that I want to use instead, but this isn't a problem.

  > 4. You will manage 3.0.1 by 3.5 hosts with the new version of vCenter. Fix ESX, one host at a time in the coming months. Expected problems?

  Looks like we're on the same timeline.  I am doing a server tonight, using the VC... host update utility that should be fun.  So you have to compare notes.

• Interaction with OpsCode Chef HTTP vCenter Orchestrator v5.1 Update 1 REST API

  Interaction with OpsCode Chef HTTP vCenter Orchestrator v5.1 Update 1 REST API

  I need to be able to use the HTTP REST APIs to run commands on the server of leader during the commissioning and decommissioning of virtual machines.

  Chef Server API Documents

  This requires the ability to use the SHA1 algorithm and also the Base64 algorithm in vCenter Orchestrator v5.1 update 1 to create the header of hashes.

  Method: HTTP_METHOD

  Axes of path: HASHED_PATH

  X Ops-content-Hash: HASHED_BODY

  X Ops - Timestamp:TIME

  X Ops - UserId:USERID

  where:

  • HTTP_METHOD is the method used in the API request (GET, POST, and so on)
  • HASHED_PATH is the path of the query (/name_of_endpoint for the server open source) and/organizations/organization_name/name_of_endpoint took the head or private Chef. The HASHED_PATH must be hashed with SHA1 and encoded using Base64 and should not have repeated oblique (/) or end with a bar slash (unless the path is /).
  • The private key must be an RSA key in the SSL .pem file format. This signature is then divided into strings (of not more than 60 characters per line) and placed in the header.

  The server of crypts that header and ensures its content corresponds to the content of unencrypted headers contained in the request. The timestamp of the message is checked to ensure that the request has been received within a reasonable time. An approach to generate the signed headers is to use the authentication mixlib, which is a header based on a class signature of authentication object similar to one used by the Chief customer.

  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

  Perfect timing!  I was just finalized this week the docs and test of a package for the Chef Server API:

  CHIEF Server Workflows

  Let me know how it works for you!  Of more if there are other points of termination or I missed scenarios, they should be easy to add.

• Update VCenter 4.1u3 with builtin SQL 2005 Express v5.1?

  Hi people,

  Can someone please tell me if the upgrade path is supported without problem as possible for my script below:

  Existing: VCenter 4.1u3 installed as Windows Server 2008 64 bit standard VM with the database running in SQL SERVER 2005 Express (embedded).

  to be upgraded online to:

  Proposed: VCenter 5.1u1b installed as Windows Server 2008 64 bit standard VM with the database running in SQL SERVER 2005 Express (shipped).

  VCenter 5.1u1 comes with SQL Server 2008 Express or reuse it just the existing integrated DB?

  Because when I specify using products VMware interoperability Matrices it displays all the comments in the table.

  Hello

  You can upgrade vCenter server 4.1Update03 to 5.1Update01a, and it keep MSSQL2005 express Embedded DB and data in it. VCenter server upgrade with no problems found. I think that the product of VMware interoperability matrix titles only to distance/Custom not Database not the fact embedded database part of the vCenter server installation.

  If this isn't a supported database, upgrade to vCenter server would have failed to be upgraded with the inconsistent database or considering implementing in custody.

  During the upgrade to vCenter server 5.1Update01a, it asks you to install Single Sign and the inventory service.

• problem with vCenter Server 4.0 Update 1

  I have ower vCenter Server 4.0 Update 1 upgrade in December, somehow the version number is not right.

  The build number of the show is always 208111 if I trie to reinstall the update 1 only, I can completely uninstall the vCenter Server.

  So, the update seems to be installed anyway nor 100% corectly.

  The vCenter Server Loggenerator also shows me the 208111 build.

  Because of this I also can't update the last Patch1 for Update Manager.

  Way to go VMware... I love how just release notes say "run Setup". Of course, it was all buried a few deep records, not at the root of the zip file.

• Upgrade to VCenter 5.1.0 - Consolidation

  Hello

  I wonder if someone can guide me in the right direction:

  Currently, this is my environment: I have 2 offices/Sites, connected via the WAN.  There is also a small remote site with a host (5 vm) ESXi is not managed by a Vcenter server.

  Site 1

  1 x Vcenter Server 5.0

  4 ESXi hosts 5.0 x

  40-45 Vm

  Site 2

  1 x Vcenter Server 5.0

  4 ESXi hosts 5.0 x

  40-45 Vm

  I want to consolidate (and at the same time, upgrade to 5.1) the Vcenter so that I have a Vcenter instance manageing Sites.  Once the Vcenter is running, I then will modernize with Update Manager Esxi hosts.

  My questions are:

  • Wouldn't be better to create a new 5.1 Vcenter Server as supposed to upgrade?
  • What would be lost if I do not have an upgrade?  Resource pools?  Switched networks? Etc?
  • The 2nd Vcenter site 2 can serve as a backup/failover
  • How the practice is to have a Vcenter on Wan?
  • What is the difference between data centres and Clusters?  Create a data center and multiple Clusters?  or can I create data centre for each site, then the Cluster under each site?
  • How is consoldating all this affect my license?
  • I can do Storagemotion and Vmotion between Sites if they are in a Vcenter?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  1. The two level or fresh should work properly - depends on whether you want a fresh VC or an upgrade
  2. All configurations of VC would disappear - resource pools/vDS settings/user rights / that are configured manually on VC etc.
  3. N ° you must implement Virtual Center Heartbeat or something to get that to work
  4. As long as the network latency is not that big and all the ports for VC/ESX operations are open, should work
  5. Yet once, is not serious. You can have either a data center, a single cluster and all hosts or center data, two groups or two data centers and two clusters - it is a drawing more desired, implemented
  6. Licenses for VC will change because you'll have a VC-2 - but ESX licenses will not change, because it is based on the sockets
  7. As long as there is no latency of the network and you have a good throughput on the Wan, it should work
