• Using of MS Cluster HA providing virtual Center 4.0

  Hi, we currently use ESX3.5 and Virtual Center 2.5, I'm about to start an update on all our services for 4.0 VSphere and virtual Center 4.0.  For the moment, we have a node two MS Cluster to connect to the DAS storage that supports Virtual Center 2.5.  I need to know if 1: VCentre 4.0 is supported running on a MS Cluster and 2: are there documents describing the process to create the cluster group.

  I did this several times for VCenter 2.5, but I am not able to find info on VCentre 4 and all my research seems to lead me VCentre Heartbeat.

  Any help is appreciated.

  The "Setup for Failover Clustering and Microsoft Cluster Service" for vCenter 4.1 can be downloaded from http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_mscs.pdf and vCenter 4.0 use link http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40_u1/vsp_40_u1_mscs.pdf

• using db even for srm as virtual Center

  Hello

  Is - this possible/supported the same external Oracle rac (11) to serve as srm database the virtual Center, using a different user, of course.

  Or should I have to create a separate database for Mrs?

  Thank you

  Peter

  Hi Peter,.

  SRM requires its own DB, since the SRM DB and the DB Server vCenter have requirements of the other schema. You can find the configuration requirements / information on the DB SRM in the creation of the SRM database in the SRM docs.

  Hope this helps,

• How to check what database is used by VMware Virtual Center?

  Hello

  I recently inherited a small environment and I was asked to upgrade ESX 3.5 to ESX 4.0. I'm not a person from the database, but how can I check what database is used by VMware Virtual Center? According to the guide to upgrade the MSDE database is not supported in ESX 4.0.

  I want to just make sure that we did not use this database. I looked in the ODBC Data Source Administrator. Thanks to the system DSN, I saw that the drivers for Vmware Update Manager and Vmware Virtual Center are "SQL Native Client". Also registry editor, I watched HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-> SOFTWARE-> VMWARE, INC.-> VMware Virtual Center-> DB. Data on 'Vmware VirtualCenter' next to '1' and '4' is set to "SQL Native Client".

  So, how can I determine if the database used is not MSDE?

  Sorry for the stupid question, but I'm not so much with the databases...

  Thank you.

  Den...

  > So, how can I determine if the database used is not MSDE?

  MSDE does not remote databases.  ODBC Open, click System DSN, click Configure.  The listed database is that it uses, and if that is the name used for virtual center, this is the database in use.

• Incorrect value for its use of virtual computer memory in Virtual Center

  Hello everyone

  I have a problem to track usage of the memory of some virtual machines in Virtual Center.

  The virtual center of the opening interface is reported to me that virtual machines have a use of memory about 95%. Accessible through the console of the machine, however, the Task Manager shows me a memory about 15-20% and 4% of the processor usage.

  The machines in question are among other the domain controller is working correctly.

  Thanks in advance

  Hi dmilazzo,

  I had this problem a few weeks ago. After updating my ESX hosts, this problem has been resolved.

  Are yours up-to-date?

• Deploy Windows 2008 Server X 64 reviews of model with customization on Virtual Center 4.0 using the ESX 3.5 hosts

  Deployment of Windows 2008 Server X 64 system of operating invited by using hosts Virtual Center 4.0 and ESX 3.5 implements a message telling me:

  Cannot deploy the model: customization of the

  guest operating system "winVistaGuest" is not

  supported in this configuration. Microsoft Vista

  (TM) and Linux with Logical Volume guests

  Manager are supported only for the recent ESX host

  and versions of VMware Tools. Refer to vCenter

  documentation for taken configurations supported.

  error

  This isn't just normal? Just today I upgraded to VC4.0 to be able to deploy my new servers based on findings on this forum. And no matter if I change the Machintype Vista x 64 or elsewhere Vista32 (what is wrong of course). Any other gopt experience with this?

  There should be no need to upgrade to vCenter4 just to be able to customize a W2K8 Guest.  We vCenter 2.5 and have no problem.

• XP Service Pack 3 VDI model - deployment use and Windows XP Service Pack 2 deployment tools?  VMWare View, virtual center of customization specification Manager.

  I'm setting up a VMWare View deployment and I need to configure Performance Manager in Virtual Center Customization Tools.  Use the deployment tools XP Service Pack 2 for my model pack 3 XP service or do I have to download SP 3 tools?  Documentation on the internet points to SP 2 tools, but I can't find a definitive answer for XP SP 3 machines.

  I don't think anything changed in Sysprep between XP SP2 and SP3 of XP.  I use Sysprep in an XP SP2 CD deploy.cab file to customize my XP SP3 image with no problems.  You should be able to use Sysprep tools on the CD for SP2 for your model.

• Use of Virtual Center with SRM

  I plan to our implementation of the SRM and understand I need 1 Center Virtual Server in each site. At this moment I have a unique virtual center server that manages both sites.

  Am I right in thinking that I need to have only the hosts in a site connected to the virtual center server in the same site and the same thing on the other side?

  Right now I am able to stop a virtual machine in a site and make a cold migration from one data center to another.  My understanding is that I'll lose this feature by going to a multiple configuration of virtual center. Is this correct?

  Thank you!

  Yes, it's okay...

  A VC on the protected Site. A VC on the recovering Site.

  As an ESX host may not be a member of two VCs, at the same time - you will be able cold - migrates both...

  Exported to the OVF format and import using OVF are perhaps - an alternative...

• Virtual Center service

  After the reboot, virtual center service does not start on its own. I don't face any problem while I start it manually. How to fix this?

  Hello

  To resolve this problem, add a dependency to the VirtualCenter service so that it starts only after the necessary services have started.

  To create a service dependency:

  1. Click Start > run, type services.msc and press ENTER.

  2. Find all the services that vCenter Server requires. For example, SQLEXP_VIM, ADAM_VCMSDS or ADAM_VMwareVCMSDS.

     Note: the Service names are different from SQL Express and the full SQL implementations. For example, the name of the SQL Express service is SQLEXP_VIM and in complete SQL implementations, it is MSSQLSERVER.

  3. Open the properties of the service and note the name of the service. For example, MSSQL$ SQLEXP_VIM.

  4. Click Start > run, type regedit, and then click OK. The window of the Registry Editor opens.

  5. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vpxd.

  6. Double-click the DependOnService key and add the Service name by using the name identified in step 4.

  7. Close the Registry Editor window.

  8. In the Services window, open the properties of the service to the service identified in step 3.
  9. On the Dependencies tab, make sure that the VMware VirtualCenter service is registered as a function of the service.
  10. Repeat steps 3-9 for all services that requires VirtualCenter.

  If you are running Windows 2008 you can set the VMware VirtualCenter Server service to automatic startup (delayed) following type:

  1. Click Start > run, type services.msc, and then click OK.

  2. Right-click on the VMware VirtualCenter Server service, and then click Properties.

  3. Change the automatic startup type Automatic (delay).

• Mutiple remove virtual computer in Virtual Center 5.1?

  Does anyone know how to remove several virtual machines both in the virtual Center 5.1?

  Looking for an easier way rather than a virtual computer to both research and removing one at a time.

  I did a LOT of research with ZERO success.

  Hi theire,.

  so if I would have a very big amount of VM that I have to delete then I would with an input file and using powercli for quicker removal.

  try following:

  create the file vms.txt (and writing of the vm vertically)

  Then, you can use following code as deletion for all virtual machines of this entry.

  ####################

  to connect-viserver xxxxxx

  $content = get-content "path to the file.

  $vms = get - vm $content

  {foreach ($vm to $vms)

  Remove-VM $vm - DeletePermanently-confirm: $false

  }

  #####################

  It's a very simple Code > you could also integrate some kind of loop until the VM is turned off,...

  But in any case with Powercli I think delete is much more rapid then plu vi-client. equal to how the script looks like.

  Best regards

• Beyond the performance data not available to a host through Virtual Center

  
  Hello

  I have an ESXi host that relates to the ' No Data Available ' under his paw through Virtual Center performance. Fine appears real-time performance data, but the latest data are not appear and give the error as "No Data Available".

  Within the cluster of 4 hosts, alone is to have the point above. Others are appearing fine performance data.

  In another cluster host ESXi too connected to the same vCenter, I see one of the host is to have a similar question.

  I checked:

  • All work Rollup SQL is run successfully the default schedule.
  • Restarted vpxa service connection to the host directly using the vsphere client.

  I followed the KB article http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2007388 . as suggested in the article when I run the Sub SQL query I see there is no data within who. 

  exec sp_spaceused vpx_hist_statx

  name	lines	reserved	data	index_size	unused
  VPX_HIST_STAT1	NULL VALUE	NULL VALUE	NULL VALUE	0 KB	0 KB

  The output is similar (no data) if I run these queries:

  exec sp_spaceused vpx_hist_stat2

  exec sp_spaceused vpx_hist_stat3

  exec sp_spaceused vpx_hist_stat4

  Current configuration:

  ESXi 5.1.0 799733

  vCenter Server 5.1.0 Build 1123961

  Please help solve this.

  I actually planned for the downtime of the host and restarted it.

  Although loading performance data now.

  Thank you!

• Virtual Center for a given host list

  OK, I'm sure that miss me something easy here so I'll throw out and see if someone can help.

  I'm trying to do a report on my hosts that lists the number of processor sockets, carrots VMS, cluster parent and Center Virtual parent.

  For the life of me I can't figure out how to find the virtual Center.

  I connect to multiple virtual centers like this connect-VIServer-Server Denver.myorg.com, Chicago.myorg.com, Savannah.myorg.com

  Greetings-

  I see.  Looks like that the property on the VMHostImpl object (returned by Get-VMHost) was not always there.  I was checking against an environment that has the API vSphere 5.1.  I saw, as you have said, that these other properties were not present during the test against an API v5.0 environment.

  So, Yes, as you said - the '. '. Client.ServiceUrl"property of the View object for the host has a string that can be used to infer the vCenter server name.  And, you can still access this property of the VMHostImpl object via the. ExtensionData property.  Something like:

  Get-VMHost | select Name,    @{n="vCenter"; e={($_.ExtensionData.Client.ServiceUrl -replace "http[s]?://", "").Split("/")[0]}}
  

  What do I do?
