vCenter complete with just 2 hosts database?

Last week, my vCenter Server broke down 3 x.  As far as I know, the SQLExpress database hit that's the limit of 4 GB.  No problem, I'll just follow the operation here:

http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1025914

Unfortunately, that released only 10MB.  Then, of course, less than a day later we are back to where we started.  Then I ran this:

http://blogs.VMware.com/kb/2010/09/dealing-with-vCenter-41-database-tables-growth.html

After deleting (?) the VPX_EVENT and _VPX_EVENT_ARG tables, I restarted the box and we are at the top (for now).

As someone who has * no. with SQL experience, how will I know how I have now in my VCDB of free space, and more important again, what is causing it fills?  My best guess is that we use vReplicator Vizioncore (not buying it), that could generate many events, but I have no way to check it out and they say to me "you must call VMware."

Suggestions appreciated!

You can also check your statistics in vCenter.  The more statistics, more your DB level could get.  In addition, you can watch the maintenance tasks to help keep this DB under control.  I can't Express, but when you are in the properties of the DB, see if you have a recovery model, if it is something other than the simple, to change.  Also, I posted a KB above which will help with your transaction logs.  These tend to be the largest part of the size of the DB instance.

  • vSan with just 2 hosts?

    Hi all

    I am currently on a trajectory of vcp - VTC 6 and covered only briefly in the vSAN.

    I'm really looking forward to try this at home, but the problem is that I have only two servers (HP Gen8 MicroServer)

    I have seen that it is possible to nest hosts esxi etc but is it possible to use two medical examinations?

    Thank you!

    mattg1,

    You can work with just two hosts or even a single, if you change the default storage policy to include force_provision set to true, depending on what stage you are at the. You will have a second replica on his own diskgroup, but if it's just for a laboratory at home for educational purposes which will be very well. VMware refers to this a strapping 'start-up' and you will see that it is actually supported during the construction of a new cluster (greenfield) where vCenter has not yet been yet (emerging) installation. In other words, you can build a host in a cluster VSAN just so that you can configure vCenter Server and then add the rest of the guests (if any) as soon as vCenter is up and running.

    «By boot strapping Virtual SAN without vCenter can fill this gap and remove the obligation to have storage high availability or temporarily on the local drive to day - zero operations.» This could be applicable to a greenfield deployment scenario. »

  • FTP problem with just 1 host

    I worked on a site hosted by 1and1 for about 5 years. Recently however, whenever I try to connect using dreamweaver, it shows a simple file that indicates that the site has activated frontpage extensions and I can't use FTP until the extensions are disabled.

    My first reaction was to check that the extensions had not been enabled (they didn't, but as a precaution, I tried enabling them and then disable - no difference made).

    Then I tried using a command prompt to use the Basic windows FTP tool - that works very well. I can see everything as planned. At least I have a workaround, but it's a major inconvenience to say the least.

    I went through all the settings in Dreamweaver that I can find about FTP and none of this makes no difference. The killer came to use another computer to connect - that too is displayed with the same message when I use Dreamweaver.

    1and1 swear blind that the problem is not on their end and I have a flaw in Dreamweaver. The problem is that I can't imagine what it actually is and that I could do with some help to isolate the fault. Is DW made differently than a normal ordinary ftp client? Are there hidden parameters that can be at fault?

    Annoyingly, I just managed to work around the problem by destroying the site and recreating the bunch of parameters.

    Still no idea why it happened in the first place. Still no idea what the exact nature of the problem was.

  • Cannot add host to vCenter server as data store is shared with an existing host to vCenter

    Recently, I removed a physical host to a virtual appliance of vCenter Server and am not able to add it to vCenter Server because I get an error message on the existing data store.  I run a simple server vCenter environment with two physical hosts and shared storage.  I've only been administering vCenter for a few months, so I'm relatively new on the technology and processes.  I searched the Internet for a few days now, but have not found documentation everyone has the same problem I have (which I find strange considering the simplicity my problem and configuration), so I tried to get help from the community of VMware.

    I received an error message a day this vCenter Server cannot connect to either of the two hosts so I removed the host (rather than disconnect and plug as I should have done).  Now, I am not able to connect to the host to vCenter server because the shared storage data store comes into conflict with the same data store used by the host in vCenter Server.  I get the error message is ' "Datastore"datastore_name"is in conflict with a store of data that exists in the data center which has the same URL (ds: / / / vmfs/volumes/UUID /), but is supported by different physical storage." "  I try to remove the host data store, but get the following error message: "resource" data store name: datastore_name VMFS uuid: UUID' is in use. ".  The error stack said: "'HostStorageSystem.UnmountVmfsVolume' call failed for object 'storage system' on ESXi"IP address"."  Cannot unmount volume ' data store name: datastore_name VMFS uuid: 'UUID' because the file system is busy. Correct the problem and retry the operation. "I tried to delete all virtual machines of the inventory, put the hosts in maintenance mode, restart physical hosts, but none of my troubleshooting contributes.

    I don't know what steps to take to get this data store driving with the host so that I can add it in vCenter Server.  You can provide me with any help is appreciated.

    Good thing you already moved the VMs on.  For what is 'disconnect', 'remove' or 'delete' might work anyway.  You should maybe put the host in maintenance mode or even reboot the host before you can remove data warehouses.  In an extreme case, I even had to remove the host and the hypervisor installed completely rebuild on the spot.  It is not that difficult or does not take long to reinstall, so be not afraid on this subject.  A clean reinstall could still save time compared to the deletion of data warehouses.

  • Cannot add host ESXi 5.5 to vCenter for a routed network - cannot communicate with the specified host

    I was wondering if anyone has come across this problem before, who could give advice how to fix them:

    Host of pre-production UCS ESXi migration of a Production vCenter on another network (routing in place)

    Can ping both directions successfully - from vCenter Prod to the host of the pre-production

    no firewall between the two.

    902 port is open on the host

    Host connects to the pre-production vCenter on the subnet even fine

    VCenter production can add different hosts on the same network end

    Even with the various guests of ESXi UCS.

    ESXi host was completely disconnected and removed from vCenter inherited before attempting to add. No dvswitch physical or virtual.

    Then try and add, enter the user name and password and get cannot communicate with the specified host.

    Thank you

    The solution to this. Used ESX host 5.5 3B (3248547) update that disables SSLv3. (Ref: VMware ESXi 5.5 updated Notes version 3B) one of the consequences of this is that older versions of vCenter (such as trying to move the host) can not add/connect host.

    Enable SSLv3 to spend (port 443) on the resolved host (virtuallyPeculiar: connection A ESXi 5.5 U3b host to vCenter with a lower Version A.)

    Note: should not enable SSLv3 to Port 902.

    Ref:

    The SSLv3 Protocol on vSphere 5.x configuration (2139396) | VMware KB

    Many thanks to Suhas Savkoor of virtuallyPeculiar for resolution for this on his website display

  • Copy of complete site. I have a Web site. I would copy the entire site (complete with images) to another directory with a different name. Then, transfer to another hosting server. All ideas

    Copy of complete site. I have a Web site. I would copy the entire site (complete with images) to another directory with a different name. Then, transfer to another hosting server. Any ideas?

    Not sure that you need a different directory.

    If you are working on a local computer, create a new site with all the same settings for local files and change the remote server settings to match the second server.

    This ensures you that there is no difference between the two websites.

  • vCenter Server Setup - 2 ESX host

    Hi all,

    I'll put up a very small virtualized environment, and I am

    looking for some advice, so I can get it hopefully implement the best

    way!http://www.veeam.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif

    Here are my planned layout:

    Site:

    -1 Server ESX 4.0 U2

    -This server hosts our virtual machines in production, on 5 virtual machines of Windows Server 2003 total

    Off site (connected via private WAN circuit)

    -1 Server ESX 4.0 U2

    -This server stores our backed up (using Veeam) VMs and is used as a failover in case of emergency

    My question:

    Which physical server should host the virtual machine with vCenter on it?   I prefer the

    offsite one of free resources on the ESX Server hosting our production servers.   Are there problems with it?

    I personally would go there breast on-site environment for better performance, you can always plug on the vCenter server on your off-site location in case of a failover.  I doubt that the load on the vCenter server will be ideal for just two hosts, so I worry that too.

I just changed the IP address on the cRio and I was good to go. I have not reproduced on both devices such as network shared Variables suggests on some positions, nor I needed to modify the ALIAS files on devices.

  • Vcenter merging with SRM

    Hello

    Currently, I have two datacenter (DR/DR) running vcenter separated with MRS.

    We have plans to consolidate the two datacenter and use a unique vcenter instead of two. and is no longer intend to use RS.

    Someone can guide us. Any documentation or reference is very much appreciated.

    Thank you

    Not sure on the documentation for this scenario, but what you can do is failover machines virtual site vCenter that you no longer want to use and after the failover, just decommission the SRM.

    LR 5.7 cannot find my files already edited because I accidentally deleted them. I have original and exported raw files edited JPEG images on an external hard drive. How to get back on LR the possibility to repeat already published photos complete with a history of editing? Thank you.

    Thank you Joe Maniac.  I deleted the original linked files on my internal hard drive which were dng files, but had copies of the raw files edited and edited the exported raw files (in JPEG format).  I don't have copies of dng files.  So what I ended up having to do was import the original raw files which then made a DNG copy on my internal hard drive.  The link has not changed, but now the files were back in the original track for missing photo alerts disappeared and I was able to see my change history.  The process has been painful, but without the dng, I had nothing to do a link to more if at least re-import them files has recreated the dng.  I don't know if there was an easier way, but it seemed that the problem did not the link deletion.  I use LR for a few years, but it was a rookie mistake, precipitated by my hard drive being so jammed up I ended up delete what I shouldn't.  I should have just moved the dng and the link to an external hard drive. Thanks again.
