• VCenter and VMWare essential Kits

  Hello

  I have 3 ESXI 5.5 servers in place and another 9 servers ESXI 5.5 in a second location. All servers have two processors and 128 GB or less RAM.

  Can I buy 4 essential Kits of VMWare and install four separate vcenter instances? Am I allowed to use multiple VMware Essentials Kits in one place?

  Is it possible to install one instance of VCenter for all ESXI 5.5 servers 12 with these licenses or do I need to buy a different set of licenses?

  Thank you

  Can I buy 4 essential Kits of VMWare and install four separate vcenter instances? Am I allowed to use multiple VMware Essentials Kits in one place?

  Unless I'm missing something, you can have how many Kits Essentials desired by site/branch, the limitation is that each vCenter Essentials kit can manage only the 03 (three) hosts.

  Is it possible to install one instance of VCenter for all ESXI 5.5 servers 12 with these licenses or do I need to buy a different set of licenses?

  No, each Kit Essentials can manage only the 03 (three) VMware ESXi ESX. To manage hosts more 03, you will need the Standard vCenter and vSphere ESXi Standard, Enterprise or Enterprise Plus.

  Anyway, there are still other options if you don't want to license more advanced, like Standard vCenter and vSphere, ESXi Standard/Enterprise, see: how your vSphere VMware 5.5 retail and management offices (ROBO) - VMware-Blog of SMB - VMware license items

• Two servers vCenter and shared storage

  Hi all

  Is it possible to have two vCenter environment, vCenter 5.1 and 5.5 vCenter and each vcenter has two esxi hosts to vCenter 5.1 a 5.1 host esxi and vCenter 5.5 has esxi hosts.

  All four hosts to access the same shared storage (SAN).

  VCenter hosts different access to the shared storage will damage the virtual machines on storage?

  Thank you...

  Essentially access a data store from multiple hosts that are running different versions. However, in the case of these hosts are not managed by the same server vCenter Server, it is your responsibility to ensure that guests will not access the same VMs (records) system and maximum supported are not outdated storage vMotion tasks, for example simultaneous for a data store...

  Also don't forget that functions like the control of storage i/o may not work as expected.

• vCenter and host communication SSL v3

  Hello

  Can someone tell me why a vCenter Server Windows would communicate with a 5.5 on TCP/443 ESXi host using SSLv3 (in particular)?

  If you search Google for "kb2093354" titled "VMware KB: disable encryption on the server vCenter SSLv3" which seems to be what I want, it is no longer available, does anyone have an updated link to day for her?

  According to the Documentation centre, 443 is the WS-Man/HTTPS port and is a required port, but how to disable support for SSLv3? I don't want to tell browser to vCenter for admin, I mean ESXi host to vCenter

  Thank you

  I can confirm that vCenter 5.5 (U2) communicates with guests (5.5 U2) via SSLv3 only, the reason being vCenter only support SSLv3 in his original SSL Client Hello packet when connecting to an ESXi host:

  

  Note: Taking communication SSL/TLS between agents vCenter and vpxa on hosts always is launched from the process of vpxa.exe of vCenter acting as the Client that connects to port 443 of a host and not the other way around (which caught vCenter protocols supported on port 443 is not relevant).

  ESXi supports TLS1 with SSLv3 for long, and since ESXi 5.5 it comes from the tree of openssl 1.0.1 libraries that support TLS1.1/1.2, which can be confirmed from a host:

  # openssl s_client-connect [insert here the ESXi host name]: 443 < ev/null="" 2=""> 1 | grep 'SSL-Session' - A2

  SSL-Session:

  Protocol: TLSv1.2

  Encryption: AES 256-GCM-SHA384

  I suspect that the configuration changes must be made to the vCenter Java application so that the Client sends a TLS version in the handshake Hello. When I lanuch the Java Control Panel on the vCenter via the command below I can see SSLv3 and TLSv1 are supposed to be enabled, but the negotiation Client Hello sent by vCenter to the SSLv3 Client only:

  Com.sun.deploy.panel.ControlPanel - Xbootclasspath/r: "c:\Program Files VMware vCenter Server - Java Components\lib\deploy.jar" "C:\Program Files\Fichiers VMware vCenter Server - Java Components\bin\javaw.exe"

  
  

  It is probably crashed somewhere in the application and I have not tried to disable SSLv3 here since I do not have a currently available test environment. in any case, it would be well if VMware is completely removed this KB article either open to the public instead of saying:

  You are not allowed to view this article. It may have been moved or the reference is out of date.
  

• vCenter and SQL server Virtual Hardware Upgrade stuck

  vSphere 5.5

  I updated all my hardware vm to version 10. Everything went a lot except for vCenter and the VM of MSSQL. They both say the upgrade (successful), but I am unable to vmotion the vms anywhere because of the following error:

  A general error occurred:

  The destination host is not compatible with the version of the material to which the virtual machine is scheduled to be upgraded. In order to proceed with the operation, regular virtual computer compatibility update must be disabled.

  I did the following:

  -stop the two virtual machines

  -restart of the host

  -removed from the inventory of the host and added to another

  The following screenshot shows the message of success on both virtual machines, and it will not go a way. It is not present on any of my other virtual machines

  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Thanks for sharing the update.

  Could he please check if below lines exist in the respective vmx files of virtual machine.

  virtualHW.scheduledUpgrade.state = 'done '.

  virtualHW.scheduledUpgrade.when = "safe".

  If so, power off of the respective virtual machine, make a backup of the vmx file and remove these lines from the active file, after which I am convinced that this issue should not be considered.

• vCenter and the connection to the server role

  I'm about to move from vCenter and vSphere to 5.5 and I was wondering what will be the impact on our view pools (5.2) in the process. It will affect only composer as supply operations, power on/off, etc.? Or she would also affect current sessions and new authentication?

  Current sessions should not be affected nor should new sessions, as long as you have machines available online

• Can you have vCenter and your database server on different VLAN?

  According to the title, can you have vCenter and your database server on different VLANS or must they reside on the same?

  Also if we want to change the current IP Address/Subnet Mask vCenter, are there factors that we take into account?

  Thanks in advance for any help

  Yes they can, so you must only be sure to have enough bandwidth network and speed between them will not affect the performance of VC.

  To change the IP of vCenter, keep an eye on this: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1001493

• Automatically start vCenter and vms

  Hello

  We have Windows Server 2008 R2 running vCenter 4.1 connected to host computers running ESXi 4.0 Update 1.  Every time we restart the server, the vmware vCenter and vmware vCenter Webservices services start up, they are set to start.  They need to be on the delayed start?  I check the event logs to see what is happening.  Is there a log of vmware that I could look at?

  In addition, we want to implement our virtual machines as the domain controller starts automatically, but I can't find a way to do.

  Thank you

  Mike

  Thank you very much, we are using SQL Express despite 2 virtual machines running SQL Server 2008 :-)  I'm going to the delay value and see.

  If it does not help there are some registry entries, you can make

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1007669

  In addition, we vSphere Essentials.  How can I know that if it is configured for high availability and where I see these priorities?

  Essentials does not come with HA.  You can configure your options of start/stop for your guests by going to the configuration of the host tab: start/stop of the VM - properties (upper right corner)

• locations of vCenter and database?

  This I can (or what is the best practice) put vcenter and sql database in a single site (site A).

  and in another place (geographically) the hosts and guests (site B)?

  My question is about the work of sql, do you think it will work very well, or performance will degrade and will be slow and Ahmed?

  Thanks to you all.

  As written, you need enough bandwith Announces low latency (to avoid the disconnection of the hosts).

  But is possible, and for "small" remote or branch office is usual.

• No update since vCenter and ESXi 4.1

  Hi all

  I've updated vCenter and all my ESXi hosts to version 4.1 about two months ago. However, there are has still no updates listed in vCenter Update Manager

  I have to manually edit something else? Repositories?

  There are these two planning standard for Christiane and updates non-critical host, however, I can't edit them. Both contain only updates for ESX400-...)

  Thanks in advance!

• Different results of the property 'configManager.snmpSystem' of HostSystem executing vCenter and when run directly from host

  We are seeing different results for the property of the HostSystem 'configManager. snmpSystem' from vCenter and when you access from host.

  I think that the result should be no different. Is this another known issue or am I missing something here?

  To confirm this behavior, we tried to show the property to the host through the Explorer managed objects (MOB) and also by the VMware Remote CLI scripts. Join the results of the CLI script that was running on our test systems.

  Best regards

  Damodar

  Greetings, I just wanted you guys to know this problem that you are experiencing is a known problem with VMware and our engineers groups are working on it.    Sorry for the inconvenience to you.

• vCenter and SQL 2005 Express on the same physical machine

  I'm new on the VMware environment and am a little concerned about my VMware infrastructure and design.  I have 3 boxes physical accommodation 15 virtual servers.  I have a 4th server that hosts the database SQL and vcenter.  I am wondering what are my chances of having vCenter and SQL 2005 express installed on the same box?  That suggest VMware as best practices concerning this configuration?  If this configuration is ok, what are my options to protect myself in case the box with vCenter and the SQL database dies?  Thank you

  VMware sets a limitation to 5 guests and 50 wen invited you use SQL Express. I run it with 6 guests and 48 guests (incl. models) on the same machine as the server vcenter. That's not what I want to keep and we will change to a standard SQL 2005 on a separate server from SQL (which we had with SQL 2000 and before VI3).

  But I didn't have one problem with this configuration, again.

  With both on the same server may lead to a conflict: SQL 2005 requires IIS but vCenter uses ports. So I installed it but disabled.

  I think also that separating the two tracks faster that have it all on the same box.

• How we installed vCenter and vSphere?

  How we installed vCenter and vSphere?

  I was told that I can simply update my esx 3.5 to 4 via vCenter server.

  So all I have to do is to install vCenter.  I went to the vmware website and downloaded Vcenter - 2.5.0 - U4 - English.zip

  I installed in and Vic my version 2.5.0 build 147633

  It doesn't mention anything about vCenter...

  How I now update my esx host 4.  When I do a scan now I don't get the option to update esx 4.

  Is there something simple I've missed?

  Have you seen the video upgrade?
