• VCenter Server 5.1 SSL certificate update - error

  Hi all

  We set up a new Windows 2008 R2 server as a vCenter Server 5.1

  Now, I try to install the new certificates for all parts of vCenter (server, inventory, web client service,...) with the Windows certification authority.

  I'm stuck at the update server certificate SSL vCenter with the 'Certificate SSL Automation Tool'.

  This is part 5. in this guide (5. the cmd screen shot):

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2041600 #updatestepsplanner

  All credentials are correct, but I still get the same error (vc-update - ssl.log):

  [26.04.2013 - 10:42:54, 99]: copy the new certificates and keys 'C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\SSL. '... »

  So I tried the manual way, as it is mentioned in this guide:
  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & externalId = 2035005

  I'm stuck here too, get a 'result of Method Invocation: vpx.fault.SecurityConfigFault ' after ""Invoke method ': "

  1. Go to https://localhost/mob/?moid=vpxd-securitymanager & vmodl = 1 on the server vCenter Server and load the certificates for the configuration using the managed object browser.
  2. Click continue if you are prompted with a warning on this certificate.
  3. Enter a vCenter Server administrator user name and password when prompted.
  4. Click reloadSslCertificate.
  5. Click the calling method. If successful, the window displays this message: result of Invocation of method: Sub.

  
  

  I tried to fix this, but there is not really a solution for this:

  http://communities.VMware.com/thread/429035

  so, I need help with this question

  SOLVED!

  Steps to follow:

  1. stop the vCenter service

  2. search for your ID in LS_ServiceID.prop in the folder C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter

  3. copy this ID (e.g. {C4672589-9258-42B1-90E2-1EF268BBD402}: 5 )

  4. change your vpxd.cfg in the same folder and replace

  vCenterService

  with

  your ID

  5. start vCenter Service

  Then, the SSL automation tool works!

  You need to undo changes.

• Problem upgrade vCenter 5.0 to 5.1

  I did an update 5.1 on a virtual machine running Vcenter 5.0. The SQL 2008 database resides on another virtual machine. It is a center of test data.

  I ran the auditor and it came back fine. VCenter and SSO installed on the same virtual machine.

  I installed base SSO. I ran the scripts before you create the database, and users. Installation went well without error.

  I've updated the Web Client, but did not check to see if my domain account still works as an administrator.

  I have improved the service of inventory without error.

  I upgraded Vcenter without errors.

  I have improved my VI Client to 5.1.

  I can not access the VI Client with Vcenter. I get an authentication error using my domain account. I tried the admin@System-Domain account. It is said that account is not allowed.

  I can connect via the Web client using the admin@System-Domain account. I can't connect in the Web Client with my domain account.

  While in the Web Client, she said that the inventory is empty. I don't see any of my hosts or VMs in my test data center.

• Upgrade to ESXi 5.0 to 5.1 without upgrading vCenter?

  Hi everyone is my first post here.

  I wonder if I can pass my single host of 5.0 to 5.1 without upgrading vCenter? Basically, what I want to do is upgrade to 5.1 so I can install Windows Server 2012 and trial it. Can I just burn the ISO, boot, the upgrade and the contiune. I've updated the customer to 5.1 already.

  P.S. I read a ton of info on updates etc etc, but I just need the answer to this question.

  Thanks much for any help you can provide.

  Karl

  To add. I tested the upgrade process by installing ESXi 5 in a virtual machine and upgrade to 5.1, it worked. I'm just afraid to do it in my live set up.

  According to the matrix of the interoperability of products VMware, you cannot host with vCenter 5.0 5.1 ESXi, had you first upgrade the vCenter server. Another option is to upgrade your host to ESXi 5.0 Update 1, which also supports Windows 2012 as a guest operating system.

• After upgrading vCenter 5.0 to 5.1 found stored procedure 'purge_stat1_proc '.

  Hi all.

  After upgrading vCenter 5.0 to 5.1 found this error in MS SQL 2008 R2 during the performance of work ""past day stats rollup ": "

  Message
  Executed as user: xx\yyyy. Stored procedure 'purge_stat1_proc' not found. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 2812).  The step failed.
  Thanks to VMware KB http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & externalId = 2033096
  and http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & externalId = 2006097 there is no stored procedure in vCenter 5.1 purge_stat1_proc installation but job day cumulative stats exist...
  Also there is not a SQL script for this procedure in the vCenter Server installation folder in C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VirtualCenter Server\sql.
  Anyone have a suggestion? Maybe it's a bug?

  The answer lies in the same article that you are looking to:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/documentLinkInt.do?micrositeID=&popup=true&LanguageID=&externalID=2033096

  The script of vCenter 5.1 to create this task (job_schedule1_mssql.sql) is supposed to create a job with a single step.  It seems that they have decided to remove the purge step and the rest of the procedure for her, but for some reason, that the work is not always updated and the stage of the procedure call (now missing).

  You can fix it by running the script job_schedule1_mssql.sql by the instructions in the article.

• Upgrading vCenter 4.0 32-bit to 64-bit vCenter 4.1

  Everyone...

  Upgrading vCenter vCenter 4.1 to 4.0u1. The current server running vCenter 4.0 u1 is just a Windows 2003 based VM.

  Databases supporting vCenter and Update Manager is installed on a physical Server SP3 to SQL 2005 64-bit.

  I want to plan and to implement the upgrade as follows:

  Remove the current vCenter domain and turned off.

  Turn on a new virtual machine running Windows 2008 64 bit and rename it as the old server vCenter.

  Add the new vCenter server to the domain

  Installing vCenter 4.1 on the new vCenter server and use the existing databases that support

  the old server vCenter.

  Use the Update Manager to upgrade vSphere 4.1 on each managed host computers.

  What possible questions could meet or must be aware, as I implement this

  upgrade process?

  During the installation process and it asks to use an existing database, will be installing

  just updated the database to process and store the configuration data of the server vCenter 4.0?

  Once the upgrade is complete for the new vCenter server.  I see the same configuration

  as I saw in the old server vCenter configuration?

  Looking forward to all the world the answers... Thanks in advance!

  I agree with Redbaron51.  I used the setting level guide and things worked perfectly.  There is a batch file that backs up the database and converts it to the new 64-bit server.  It was very easy and worked as advertised.

• Update the host ESX 4.1 before upgrading vCenter 4.0 to 4.1

  Someone sees a problem updating my 4.1 ESX hosts and leaving in the former vCenter 4 Update 1 cluster?  I have rebuilt a new server vCenter 4.1 but can't stop the virtual machines and ESX hosts in maintenance until tomorrow night mode.  I want to put the ESX host in maintenance mode, both in the old server vCenter and 4.1 update and move remove/add new vCenter tomorrow night.

  You can't manage a host ESXi4.1 with nothing less than vCenter4.1.  If your plan will not work.  You must first upgrade vCenter.

• "" "5.5 expired certificates." "

  Hi all

  I'm new to communities.

  My custom vCenter certificates have expired since the end of last week, and the service does not start. I get an error when you run the script saying sso is not anyone has installed ideas for a workaround?

  Thank you

  Jim

  Hello Jim

  You will need to regenerate the new certificates and then replace them.

  You will need to create a certificate request, CSR, the file and then get your personalized certificate, either through the Microsoft CA or a third-party authority cert.

  Wildcard certificates are not supported. You will need to obtain a new certificate for each component of vCenter.

  Then, once the rui.cert and the rui.key are available, you will need to replace these certificates for each component.

  Use this link below for replacement of certificate:

• Cannot add vCenter, error 'server not verified certificates chain '.

  Hello

  After the upgrade to VCO 5.5.1 I can't add a vCenter which was previously registered reports the following error:

  Error

  Impossible to register or upgrade to vCenter server extension

  com.vmware.vim.vmomi.client.exception.SslException: com.vmware.vim.vmomi.core.exception.CertificateValidationException: not verified server certificate chain

  I re-imported the cert of the Victoria Cross, but still no luck. I also license server failed and had to add manually. There is no restriction of firewall in place, so I don't know what else could happen. Any ideas appreciated. Thank you.

  We've been through this process with all 6 of our vCenters. It turns out that it was the only one with a problem. I suspect it's because the old length of cert has 512 MB, while the others, who were an installation vCenter fresh and not upgrades, created a cert 2K.

  Remove and then reinstall vCenter 5.5 only fixed the problem.

• HP Envy x 360: upgrade Windows 10 - date license expiration

  Hello

  I'm anticipating the upgrade to Windows 10 on my Hp Envy x 360, but I hesitate. The current license for Windows 8.1 does not expire over time, but Microsoft says that Windows 10 is only free for the first year.

  Could someone give some sort of guarantee that I won't have to pay for Windows 10 next year? Otherwise, I would feel really ripped off the coast.

  Thank you

  I just wanted to add some more info to this. What follows is the issues of Windows 10 which can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-faq

  The upgrade is really free?

  Yes, it's free. It is a full version of Windows, not a trial version or initiation. It is available for a limited time: you have one year from the time 10 Windows is available to take advantage of this offer.

  Can I reinstall Windows 10 on my computer after the upgrade?

  Yes. Once you have upgraded to Windows 10 using the free upgrade offer, you will be able to reinstall, including a clean install on the same device. You will not need to buy Windows 10 or return to your previous version of Windows and upgrade again.

  You will also be able to create your own like a Flash DRIVE or a DVD installation media and use it to update your device and reinstall once you have upgraded.
