• VCenter datastore model card question

  It is perhaps more a matter of functionality of feature. I've deployed a device vCenter and 3 physical hosts connected. vMotion has not been activated yet so that the servers are autonomous.

  I created a template on server 2 to deploy virtual machines. There was a file name and network boot / iso associated with the model. The model has been used to deploy the VM to the Server 3. There are a few complaints from the wizard on the iso and the different not available due to the physical host network. The model deploys very well and the virtual machine is then updated with the correct DVD and network information. The warehouses of data on both servers are local to that time.

  My question is, although he seems to have absolutely no connection with the data store, the plan stresses the relationship between the data store on server 2 with the VM on the Server 3. Is it correct to say that this is due to the original still on server 2? All disks, DVD, network, etc. on the deployed vm are local to the Server 3.

  Put the server in maintenance mode 2 has zero impact on each virtual machine running on the Server 3. Maybe KNOCK me, but I'm curious and I can't seem to find the answer.

  See the attachment for more details.

  Thank you.

  The problem came from snapshots, which contained references to the old host. Once those that have been deleted, the map display correctly.

• vCenter 4.1 upgrade questions

  Hi all

  I have a few questions about the 4.1 upgrade vCenter I know someone out there can answer. Our environment is vCentre 4.0 on 32-bit Windows 2003 Server physical and we hope him virtualize vCentre 4.1 on Windows 2008 64 bit. Databases (VC and VUM) are located on clustered SQL servers.

  1. What is the impact to use a new server name and IP address to migrate VC4.1 to? According to this article and the comment below, VMware recommend that you use the same name and intellectual property.

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1022137

  Update the configuration files if you re changing IP address or host name of your vCenter server information. You must manually change the configuration files.

  Note: VMware recommends to keep the same IP address and host name information to facilitate the migration.

  2 use the DataMigration to get the current configuration of the vCentre, i.e. Pools of resources, reservations, limitations, dvSwitch, blah blah, the new server? If not, then it smells a lot migration as an upgrade...

  Ideally, I would like to keep the physical server around as an option to restore if necessary.

  Anyone got any ideas on that?

  See you soon

  > Data bases (VC and VUM) are located on clustered SQL servers.

  So, not really a problem.

  (1) make backup DB

  (2) services of vCenter stop, set it to "manual start".

  (3) backup SSL keys

  (4) remove the server vCenter in the field

  5) stop vcenter server

  (7) make clean install Windows 64 bits on the new server, use the same IP address and name in which case the old server vCenter

  (8) restore SSL keys from a backup

  (9) make 2 connections, ODBC, 64 bit for vCenter and 32 bit for MUV

  (10) install vCenter, point to existing database

  You old vCenter as a restoration, but you need to restore the old DB sauvegardΘ first vCenter.

• Easy VMware vCenter Server for Essentials Question

  Hi all

  We are looking to buy VMware vSphere Essentials for use in our Test/development environment and had a question about vCenter Server for Essentials. I know this is a light version of the 'standard' vCenter, but is there any reason that I could not run this version in a VM to manage the node 3 environment "Essentials" like I do in my "regular vSphere cluster?"

  TIA,

  -Jason

  I see no problem at all with your server vCenter Server running as a virtual machine. In addition, it is fully supported.

• vCenter Resource Pool Configuration Question

  Hello all - I did some research for this topic area, but was unable to find anything, so I thought I would ask:

  Is it possible to give less physical RAM that the VM sees a VM?

  Backstory is I know of course in more than one of you: DBA SQL insists that his VM needs X amount of RAM, so if I look at the performance of the virtual machine, it don't use Y, even in a year.  Given that it requires a significant portion of available RAM our guests, I would like to put him to bed in something easier to manage than it does currently.  It's been a while since I covered her in the class, but I recall being able to do what I'm trying with pools of resources, I'm not as experienced as I'd probably with them...

  Thank you.

  EDIT: so far I created a pool and added just that VM, then set a limit under the section of memory for the amount I know he needs, but I guess that I'm not sure if vCenter will see many trying to automated vMotion or if she'll still treat as the amount of RAM.

  Yes VIClient just click on modify Settingson the VM, go to the "resources" tab, highlight memory, clear the unlimited checkbox and then set a limit = to real RAM you want assigned to the computer by the hypervisor and not think the BONE there.

  In the Web Client, select change settings, hit the drop down to memory and make the same change.

  Hi Porto

  Thanks for the reply! We were able to solve the problem. We had a virtual machine with orphaned files instantly (100 ++) which caused the problems. We have removed the snapshot and it worked again without any problems.

• vCenter object & DataStore browser - Question.

  Hello. Thanks for posting.

  Currently I have not access to a system of vCenter as the 'sandbox' laboratory is upgraded and won't be complete until next week.

  The object and the data browsers store: are they really different, or are they just the same browser with access to different points of view? If they are different or the same thing, is there not another method that can be used to display data warehouses and objects? I swear that to remember that all this is accessible through the vSphere via Connection Client to vCenter.

  Could someone polease confirm the foregoing, one way or the other.

  Thank you.

  By object browser, I assume you mean the Managed Object Browser (MOB) interface. They differ in their scope and functionality, although you can probably get similar information. See article MOB for more information - http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1017126.

  You should be able to see the differences when you use two interfaces. The browser via host or vCenter data store, specifically examines file-level objects in a type of "Windows Explorer" GUI, data warehouses.

  The MAFIA is looking to various elements of the environment vSphere and 'call to methods' to retrieve the information.

• NetBackup for VMS in VCENTER instead of VMs, Questions

  Hello

  We test netbackup to get all the (incremental) days for machines virtual configuration the Vcenter

  but your comments:

  (1) the administrator says it seems slower than the normal backup against for servers prior to conversion, is that correct? is it because vmdk is used here?

  (2) the VMWARE administrator admits it takes each time the same size when the snapshot, which should not be correct, right? and if yes, they will use the same datastore-> may cause problems so complete, that will make complete

  (3) if install us the agent on the virtual machines, which will have backup of disks, which will be a problem if restore us for example?

  (4) I have some vm but ending the backup snapshot is not deleted, I'll check that again today to see, this is a common problem for some hosts? the virtual machine is with brute map features, will exclude us or change something when the backup for this virtual machine? or is not released

  (5) what is the main differences between this way and have agents on the virtual machines? wise management? problem restoring vmdk or? or what exactly

  Please notify

  Thank you

  (1) the administrator says it seems slower than the normal backup against for servers prior to conversion, is that correct? is it because vmdk is used here?

  This could very well be the case, depending on how you made the prior of backups and what type/speed storage you have.

  (2) the VMWARE administrator admits it takes each time the same size when the snapshot, which should not be correct, right? and if so, they will use same datastore-> can cause problems if it is full, which will make full

  A snapshot CAN reach the same size as its parent disk, in order to fill in data warehouses is possible. However, in the time it takes to create a backup, you should not usually see this kind of growth in the Delta. Overprovisioning of data warehouses can be ok, but their follow-up is crucial. VMFS needs free space - http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003412

  (3) if install us the agent on the virtual machines, which will have backup of disks, which will be a problem if restore us for example?

  It works exactly the same way as physical servers. There should be no problem here.

  (4) I have some vm but ending the backup snapshot is not deleted, I'll check that again today to see, this is a common problem for some hosts? the virtual machine is with brute map features, will exclude us or change something when the backup for this virtual machine? or is not released

  Photos should be deleted once the backup is complete. It is not uncommon for this sometimes fails. Tools such as the free RVTools reports can be useful to quickly identify these: http://www.robware.net/ Check out http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO70902 for more information on RDM and NetBackup. The client/agent is often useful here.

  (5) what is the main differences between this way and have agents on the virtual machines? wise management? problem restoring vmdk or?  or what exactly

  The biggest difference between the OnDemand and the approach of the policy of VMware is that it gets you files (agent) and the other gets you an image full virtual machine (vmdk) and you can also get the files in some operating systems. Alternatively, you can restore these backup files in many cases CBT/BLIB with VMware political is a great approach you can get images of computer virtual complete with increments

• vCenter Server Evaluation license questions

  Hello

  I just downloaded and installed vCenter Server assessment. When I log on to the server vCenter via vSphere client and you try to add the host and the vm I get the message that my evaluation license has expired, but according to vMware he does not expire until December 2011.

  I checked the host for the configuration of the date and time, and that's okay.

  If it helps, I host esxi5 installed on a server and have created two esxi5 vm as well as three windows vm operating system.

  I appreciate any help on this.

  See you soon

  Chris

  Hi Chris

  The host usually has a Date in the past after installation. If you had a wrong date on the host to the (first) initial priming the vCenter device start-up of the device with the wrong date "BIOS" of the host. after correction of the Date do not help the license number of the trial of fixation.

  Conclusion: delete the vCenter device, check the Date and time of the ESXi host setting and deploy the vCenter device again. If now the device starts the first time the 60-day trial works as expected.

  Good luck!

• VCenter ESX 4.1 question 800380

  Hello everyone,

  We have 2 ESX hosts that don't appear any VM in virtual computers tab, all virtual machines are passed to the thread to the host ESX 3 rd who has taxed this specific host. How can we get the virtual machines on other host ESX 2? We rebooted both hosts involved without result.

  Thank you

  Dr.

  You can manually migrate them, make drag & drop. There are affinities in place on the cluster? If so, remove the affinity or disable DRS all together.

• Advice on changes to vCenter

  As much joy coming my way.

  I have vcenter 5.5 running on a VM Win2k8 R2 with SQL SERVER 2005 Express. We have 6 hosts vSphere 5.5 - a single cluster with 4 production hosts and another cluster with 2 test host. Windows Server is not in AD yet because vCenter fails once I join it, so I keep coming back to a snapshot before joining.

  Because I would really like to get it joined the announcement and I'm starting to combat the problems of performance, I thought it would be a good time to make a change. Narrowing of the DB should help a little, but I think that an upgrade is inevitable. I am considering this plan:

  -Save the VIM_UMDB and VIM_VCDB databases and store it in the storage offline

  -Uninstall SQL and vCenter

  -Adhere to the AD

  -Install the latest vCenter and full SQL 2008 or 2012

  -Restore the databases

  -Drink

  Optional bonus - down the vcenter vm and install the vcenter device.

  Questions-

  -Can save it SQL databases restored the machine to vcenter

  -C' is better just to recreate the cluster from scratch? If so, how much of the configuration I need to redo (networking, security profiles, etc.)

  -If you re-create, should I disconnect the current vcenter hosts once I get DB backups? Any other measure to dissociate the current vcenter?

  I'm starting to look at the documentation, but I hope for some advice from the real world.

  Thank you.

  1. Yes. the DB can be restored as the flings vmware newly introduced for that purpose only. VCS to VCVA converter & #8211; VMware Labs

  2. If you re-create the cluster, you must do all the config. Once again. as it will be material to scratch.

  3. Yes. If you disconnect then do normally as you added before. No special measures.

• Question about VMware Converter traffic

  Hi all

  Hoping someone can shed some light on this. I do a P2V on a physical server in site A and destination ESXi host is also at the site. However, the field 'destination' in the VMware converter must be the vCenter server which is on the Site B (via a 6 MB WAN connection) as the destination host is managed by a vCenter server. My question is if I use the server vCenter (located on a WAN connection) as a destination and then choose the host located on the local site in the converter, converter traffic flow over the WAN? Or is it just flow locally from the Source to the Destination and just use the vCenter server as a server of type "authentication" for the initial Setup?

  And as a side note, if I set the destination host ESXi as a destination in the converter instead of the vCenter server, I get the error indicated in this KB. http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & externalId = 2012310

  With the help of converter 5.5.1

  Thanks for your help!

  Hello

  Traffic passes from the source computer to the destination ESX. You will have a small slowdown in the wizard before you start converting mainly to get the VC inventory. See the graphics in the user pp. 11-13 guide

  Concerning

  P.S. If you want to V2V, keep the server converter on site A, too as in this case, that the data passes through it.
