• vCenter 5.5 Update 2 b adapter stop collecting data after vRops 6.2 upgrade

  Hello

  I just upgraded my vRealize operations to 6.2, and I work with two servers vCenter - vCenter 5.5 Update 2 b Build 2183111 (Windows OS) and vCenter Server 6 (Linux VCSA Appliance).

  After the successful upgrade - stop vCenter 5.5 collect information (adapter stuck on 'Start-up'), the vCenter 6 is very well and continue to collect information.

  What I've done so far:

  1. Restart both vROps and vCenter 5.5.
  2. Click on the Stop button next to the vCenter adapter 5.5 and click on start.
  3. Restart vCenter 5.5, click on stop, then wait for all services of vCenter to get running and click Start.

  Anyone who is familiar with this issue and know how to solve? I'll be happy to learn some tips/advice/solutions/solutions to my problem.

  Thank you! :-)

  We have 5 servers vCenter linked mode vCenter 5.0 Update 2 (5.0.0 Build 913577).  We would like to take the vCenter DEV server and upgrade to 5.5 to test.  A 5.5 vCenter server will be able to enter modes related to vCenter Update 2 5.0 servers?

  No, which won't work. Please see Linked Mode Configuration required for vCenter Server

• vCenter 4.1 Update 1 upgrade of update 2

  Hey all,.

  I'm stuck on something and need help. We have a vSphere 4.1 environment we need to spend 4.1 update 1 to 4.1 2. I've never done this before and I am struggling with the right way to do it. My understanding is that you need to update your server vCenter first, then update manager, you can use UNIFIED messaging to update ESXi hosts. I found a post that says that the only way to vCenter is to do a new install of update 4.1 2.

  If this is correct, how can I do a fresh install of vCenter without losing all my configurations? I started the installer and can't me what database, I want to install (i.e. the SQL 2005 Express included or an existing DB). If I point to the DSN for my existing DB, it will overwrite the DB or whether it is sufficient to install the update and let the DB in place?

  I guess that the same question would be relevant for UNIFIED messaging was updated as well.

  Quick notes... I cloned times my App Server VM vCenter and the DB Server VM vCenter, well I prefer not to overwrite my primary. I'm on an isolated network, so I don't have access to the VMware patch repositories. And I can't jump to vSphere 5. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you

  Yes, first step is always venter with all components (VUM, converter, etc.), and after upgrading vCenter you can do the upgrade to ESXi via VUM

  No, it wil not crush a DB, it will ask you whether you want to upgrade current DB

  Yes

  You want to perform the upgrade on isolated VM and move them later to PROD? I suggest to clone vCenter VM and VM DB first and update on the PROD not cloned servers.

  Good luck

• vCenter 4.1 Update 1 "Guest Operating System support customization"

  I was reading the release notes for vCenter 4.1 update 1. I noticed this statement regarding the additional customization support:

  "Additional support for customization of the operating system called: vCenter Server now supports the customization of the following systems: Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (x 32 and x 64)".

  (1) this means that we should not patch our model of Windows 2008 R2 with SP1, if we're still using vCenter 4.1 (without Update 1)?

  (2) in addition, it is possible that someone has already patched our model of Windows 2008 R2 with SP1. What would be the consequences or potential issues if some virtual machines have already been deployed and customized in vCenter 4.1 (without Update 1)?

  I doubt I'll see any error, warning or other if I tried to customize, but I want to assure you that it is not some underlying issues that would not easily noticeable.

  The reason is simple... SP1 is RTM and will be released in the coming weeks.

  First version of vCenter 4.1 can not support only because that there was not.

  Does not support does not mean that it is does not work (sorry for the pun).

• vSphere vCenter - vCenter 4.0 Update 1 resolution VM issues slow because the disk i/o latency?

  vSphere vCenter - vCenter 4.0 Update 1 resolution VM issues slow because the disk i/o latency?

  My client is slow VM problems that appear to be disk I/O latency on Hitachi storage 1000. I heard in VMware meetings vCenter 4.0 Update 1 solves these problems... without any explanation as to why.

  Rumor is that "after working all the angles of the slowness of the virtual machine including vmtools hardware version, latency of storage, etc. called VMware support and advised to get vCenter to U1 to solve the 'known problem' VM performance issues." "U1 fact and problem solved.

  It is VMware User meeting and I have no other details.

  Customer did not of U1 and having problems of slowness VM believes may be due to the assets/Hitachi 1000 s and favorite paths questions (known to cause problems). Preferred fixed pathing but questions continue.

  My limited participation in the issue of troubleshooting in the date limit information available now. It is just an issue if 'known problem' exists and is known to be resolved via U1 vCenter or ESX 4.0 U1?

  Not vCenter 4.0 Update 1 solve disk i/o latency issues considered the slow pace of the vm? Why?

  All points will be awarded.

  that strike!  You can use round robin or MRU for active/passive.

• Incorrect version of vCenter (4.0 Update 1 .iso) on the Download Center?

  I just downloaded theVMware vCenter Server 4 Update 1 ISO image, build 208156 (19/11/2009) from the site of VMware download yesterday and did a fresh install of Virtual Center on a fresh Windows 2003 R2 server.  When I run the VI client and check the version # (help, "about VMware vSphere), he pointed out the version 4.0.0 (Build 208111) for the vSphere Client and Version 4.0.0 build 208111 for VMware vCenter Server.

  The name of the .iso that I used to install it is: VMware-VIMSetup-all - 4.0.0 - 208156.iso, which is supposed to be

  VMware vCenter Server 4 Update 1. so I wonder why I show the older Build # or is that correct? Shouldn't there a newer build? Post edited by: GTPerry

• VCenter 2.5 Update 1 updated 5 problems with database vim_vcdb

  Hello

  I've recently updated the vcenter 2.5 Update 1 to day 5.  Everything was fine, no problem, but now I have windows event log error messages complaining of the log for the database "VIM_VCDB" is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases

  The VIM_VCDB database is set to simple recovery mode.

  My environment is 6 esx servers and 30 virtual machines.  VCenter is led on a physical server using sql express 2005 for the database.

  VIM_VCDB.mdf file size is 640 MB and VIM_VCDB.ldf is 688 MB

  I dropped the log file and it reduces to 1 024 k but after about 30 minutes, he pushes to 688 MB size and I get the error again.

  Any ideas?

  Could you please try to increase the limit more?

  Thank you.

• steps to upgrade vcenter 5.5 Update 2 b to update the 2nd

  Received a security notice that there is a JRE vulnerability and to solve this problem of VMware recommends upgrading to vcenter 5.5 update 2nd my 2B update.  I try to find a doc to follow and do not see anything other than the installation guide initial vcenter.  Everything the world had to update x 2 on the 2nd and is there any concern about?

  Begins to get the feeling that all the components must be re-installed-SSO, inventory, Web etc, I really hope this isn't the case.

  Any comment is welcome.

  Thank you

  just upgraded on the spot and follow the same steps as the first time installation. you don't need to re - install everything.

• Can I run vSphere 4.1 hosts when you run a 2 vCenter 4.0 update server

  Can I run vSphere 4.1 hosts when you run a 2 vCenter 4.0 update server.

  The thing is that I don't have a 64 bit OS on my vCenter server and a new requirement was 64-bit DSN on the vCenter.

  So I want to install vSphere 4.1 on the hosts and vCenter 4.0 until a new server running is running.

  No, 4.1 hosts need a vCenter 4.1.

• vCenter SSO 5.5u2b HA for vCAC re - install service STS unrecognized option:-install

  Im trying to configure the SSO 5.5u2b vCenter in a HA configuration for use with 6.1 vCAC. IM following the guide:

  http://www.VMware.com/files/PDF/products/vCloud/VMW-vRealize-automation-61-deployment-guide-HA-configurations.PDF

• Problem with OpenManage integration for vCenter - OMSA status: update required

  Hello

  We have a problem with the configuration of OpenManage integration on a vSphere 5.5 U2 Cluster. We have deployed IMO for vCenter v 2.3.0 build 290 aircraft, and we have installed manually OMSA VIB v7.4.0.2 on our 5.5. U2 ESXi hosts.

  The question we face is respect for vSphere host - when we start the Wizard "Fix Non compliant vSphere Host" it displays the correct version of the OMSA - 7.4.0.2 but OMSA status is "required update".

  Whe test us the connection to hosts using "Test the connection profile", it hangs at 0% and will be never finished.

  Also in the OpenManage integration in vSphere Client "Frimware" tab option is grayed out.

  Please indicate how we can make this work?

  Concerning

  Milan

  Well, I did some research more and found that ESXI 5.5 U1 and U2 don't are not supported by OMSA right now.

  FTP://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_software/esuprt_virt_solutions/Dell-Mgmt-plugin-for-VMware-Center-2.3_Release%20Notes_en-us.PDF

  ESXi 5.5 U1 and U2 are supported only for the OMIVV on the servers of 12th and 13th generation who are capable of out-of-band management and require no OMSA must be installed on the host system. We intend to add a supported of the OMSA version at a later date.

  Thank you

• Workflow returns vlan = 0 for all exchanges with vCenter 5.5 Update 1 c

  
  
  I'm running this simple workflow and vlan is always even if there is no vlan is vlan 0 0. This workflow is running on an installation vCenter before update 1 c. I can put the vlan but I canoe questioning. I tried with the vCO "build" of Windows and the vCO device, but the result is the same. Anyone else seeing this? Maybe someone wants to try?
  
  DVS is a parameter of type VmwareDistributedVirtualSwitch
  
  for each (var pg at dvs.portgroup)
  {
  If (PG.config.defaultPortConfig.VLAN instanceof VcVmwareDistributedVirtualSwitchVlanIdSpec)
  {
  System.log ("Portgroup name:" + pg.config.name);
  var pgVlan = pg.config.defaultPortConfig.vlan.vlanId
  System.log ("vLAN:" + pgVlan);
  }
  }
  

  This is caused by the vCO is trying to use the inventory service... you must tell vCO to NOT use this service and then restart the Server service of vCO. (This is fixed in future releases of vCO).

  Disable the use of the service of the inventory to the vCO by adding the following line to the vmo.properties file

  com VMware.o11n.vim.useInventoryService = false
