• 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,

• C# using Single SignOn (SSPI) for the virtual center of 2.5.0.119598

  I'm trying to use authentication using SSPI to work in my application c# passthru. Here is a snippet of code I am getting down to work.

  Returns a reference to VMware.Vim.SessionManager

  VMware.Vim.VimClient vimClient = new VMware.Vim.VimClient ();

  vimClient.Connect ("10.x.x.x," CommunicationProtocol.Https, 443);

  ServiceInstance ManagedObjectReference = new ManagedObjectReference();

  serviceInstance.Type = "ServiceInstance."

  serviceInstance.Value = "ServiceInstance."

  Sm SessionManager = new SessionManager (vimClient, serviceInstance);

  SM. LoginBySSPI (ct_b64, null);

  I get an exception when trying to call this method LoginBySSPI

  I'm not sure that it is a correct approach, but I would really like to be able to connect using single signon in my c# code, but not having much success.

  It works very well using PowerShell, but I want to be able to do it directly by using c# without using PS pipeline.

  Any suggesstions welcome.

  Thank you

  Hello

  It is normal to get this exception in the first inning. If you look at the documentation for the SDK this exception means: lifted during the authentication SSPI to negotiate.

  Scott wrote, in his position, you must call LoginBySSPI again with the return of the token to the server:

           SspiHelper ch = new SspiHelper();
           byte[] ct = null;
           byte[] st = null;
           bool cc = true;
  
           // Get the base64 token for the current Windows logon session.
           ch.InitializeClient(out ct, st, out cc);
  
           string ct_b64 = Convert.ToBase64String(ct);
  
           VMware.Vim.VimClient vimClient = new VMware.Vim.VimClient();
           vimClient.Connect("10.xx.xx.xx", CommunicationProtocol.Https, 443);
           SessionManager sm = new SessionManager(vimClient, vimClient.ServiceContent.SessionManager);
  
           bool serverNotReady = true;
           while (serverNotReady) {
              try {
  
                 sm.LoginBySSPI(ct_b64, "en");
                 serverNotReady = false;
              } catch (VMware.Vim.VimException ex) {
                 if (ex.MethodFault is SSPIChallenge) {
                    ct_b64 = ((SSPIChallenge) ex.MethodFault).Base64Token;
                 } else {
                    throw;
                 }
              }
           }
  

  Note that you can get the error returned by the server of VI of the VimException MethodFault property

• Update of ESX4 without virtual center or Update Manager

  Hello

  I use a 1 host configuration, where Virtual Center is installed as a virtual machine. I understand that this is not "best practice". Our host in a data center and rack space is limited for us. Anyway, how we would update ESX in this environment? Virtual Center being a virtual machine, it will have to be stopped to host clean up the updates. We cannot provide a physical box at present to perform Virtual Center. Is there therefore a non Virtual Center / Update Manager ESX update mode?

  Thanks as always...

  Unfortunately, it will not work with ESX - because updates are done differently. Each update in ESXi update the firmware to the previous version, while in ESX each patch is added to the ESX operating system.

  The download link of the last update is here - https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/OFFLINE/release-166-20091202-254879/ESX-4.0.0-update01a.zip

  You will have to powerdown your VMS put your host in maintenance mode - install the patch

• Get use of the resources of all virtual machines in a cluster

  Hello

  I have developed a measure of capacity management report that collects all the use of the resources of the virtual machines in a datacenter. The function that collects it looks like this:

  def hostMemoryConsumed =]

  def memoryConsumed = 0.0f

  def memoryGranted = 0.0f

  VMs. each() {}

  VM->

  try {}

  memoryConsumed += vm.host.memory.consumed.current.average / 1024.0f<----- how="" to="" do="" this="" to="" get="" from="">

  memoryGranted += vm.host.memory.capacity.current.average / 1024.0f

  }

  {} catch (NullPointerException e)

  }

  VMS is a function of type parameter VMS VMW

  The works above for virtual machines in the data center, but I need it to be after cluster. I can find a cluster of virtual machines, but I'm having trouble with referring to specific values for example consumed memory and capacity.

  If I change the type parameter: VMW Cluster how the metric reference would look like (see the try {})?

  I don't think that a query will help me.

  Thanks in advance

  Erik Alm

  If you want to do for a cluster, you can just get the list of virtual machines in a cluster of first and passing in your script.  If you have a function for a VMWCluster you can add a parameter for "vmwCluster" that is underneath and it should give you a table (topologyObjects) that has all the virtual machines in the cluster.

  QS = server.get ("QueryService") / / query Service

  tquery = qs.createStatement("!) (' VMWVirtualMachine where esxServer.parent.name = "+" ' "+ vmwCluster +" "" ") .setQueryTopologyObjects (true);

  topologyObjects = qs.executeStatement (tquery) .getTopologyObjects)

• 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

  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.

• Moving cluster in the new data center in virtual Center.

  Hi all

  I want to store my virtual Center layout. To do this, I want to move an existing cluster that exists on another physical site in a newly created in the virtual data center. When I try to move the existing cluster object, I get an error saying "the operation is not supported on the object.

  This does mean that I have to create a cluster and move the hosts one at a time, or is there a way to move the real cluster?

  Thanks in advance.

  You have to re-create the cluster indeed. Logout of the host, and then add the host to the new cluster.

• 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 Server not joined to a domain

  The environment is ESX 3.5 update 5 and Virtual Center Server 2.5 update 5.

  My question is; Virtual Center Server 2.5 can be installed on a W2003 server that is not joined to a domain?

  If the installation is possible what are the disadvantages and consequences?

  At a later date, the server can be attached to a field and Virtual Center updated accordingly? Thanks,-Jeff

  My question is; Virtual Center Server 2.5 can be installed on a W2003 server that is not joined to a domain?

  Yes.

  If the installation is possible what are the disadvantages and consequences?

  Depends on if you are using ad groups / users to connect to vcenter.  Otherwise, you must use local accounts for vCenter to provide user access to your vCenter cluster.  Adding the vCenter in the field would facilitate this in the future add / secure users.

  and Yes, you can join vCenter to the domain at any time, but it requires a reboot...
