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...

  • change virtual center with a new

    This is my first post, I hope it's the right place and that someone could help me. I have 6 esx 3.5.0 and 1 vc 2.5.0

    I host more then 5 and 50 vm and I saw this problem http://communities.VMware.com/docs/doc-3290 so I installed a new virtual Center 2.5 u5 to migrate MS sql 2005 express to MS sql 2005 sp2 standard, are both VMs.

    I don't want to migrate the data (see above second problem), I want to restart with own db, I recreated the cluster and now I want to migrate the new hosts and virtual machines in former vc.

    I do not understand whether it is enough:

    to DISCONNECT the hosts and then reconnect it to the new Victoria Cross.  When I have reconnected all hosts, I could disable old VC

    or

    turn off the virtual machines then REMOVE the host from the cluster on old vc, then add new host on cluster on new VC, then turn on virtual machines

    This second choice is very difficult because I need to turn off all my virtual machines, and it is not so easy in a production environment!

    this assistance is useful, but it's with db migration http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 5850444 that I don't want to.

    If there is an easier choice, it's better! http://communities.VMware.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif !

    You can vmotion the comments ok?  I do not think that the service starts do not ssh is related to your work that you do.

  • Cannot access the virtual center with web access

    Hello

    I can access my ESX hosts without problem using web access but I can't access the virtual Center.

    I put https://hostnamevCenter

    I go as far as the home page and once I click on web access connection I get the following error:

    '503 service unavailable '.

    Any suggestions? Is web access configured automatically for vCenter or what I need to do something more?

    Can you help me run SP2 on my computer?

    Hi again.  Question: what would these updates have been?  If you don't remember, open Windows Update, click on "see the installed updates" and more recently installed report with updates.

    As I already said (maybe bad), Windows Update not immediately offers you Service Pack 1.  There are quite a few Windows updates that must be installed before WU will offer you the service pack.
    There is also some (including some audio drivers Realtek) drivers that are known to cause problems with the installation of SP1; Therefore, WU do offer you the update until these drivers are updated.

    Here is an MS article explaining why (and bugs):
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/948343/en-us

    I would like to repeat that the three updates, I mentioned in my first post are prerequisites for SP1.  Theyneed to be installed first and in the order displayed.
    Again, check your Windows Update history for these three KB numbers.  If you don't see one or several of them installed, you can find with a quick Google search.  ;)

    Kind regards

    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.

  • 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.

  • Virtual Center Server

    Hello

    I would just like to double check that we plan to do the following:

    We want to upgrade to vsphere 4 and the first thing we will do is virtual Center upgraded version 2.5.0 in the virtual center of vphere.  After that, it may be a month or two before upgrade us the hosts.  Is there a problem to do this way?  The virtual centre of vsphere 4 will work without any problem with esx 3.5 hosts.  Users will be able to use the new vi client and connect, manage and make existing tasks with the guests of 3.5.

    The existing virtual server is the license server.  I guess all I have to do is update the virtual center with the new license?

    Thank you

    The license server will not disappear, so you just need to keep it around your 3.5 hosts, once they are gone you will add the key code in the vCenter for your other hosts, under settings-> licenses vCenter.  After the upgrade you will need the license for vCenter but not so much for ESX4 until you move in this way, then you can add them in.

  • 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,
