• Identify a vCenter for VIM vCloud object instanceUuid

  Hello, I am trying to understand the best way to get the UUID vCenter for VIM vCloud object (in my case a resource pool, for which I have the MoRef) to identify the corresponding object of vCenter.   I want to use a given resource pool reference (Playback a pvDC) to find the purpose of grouping of real resources in vCenter, many vCenters recorded vCO/VCD since the MoRef is not unique between vCenters.  There is an article by William Lam (http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2012/02/uniquely-identifying-virtual-machines-in-vsphere-and-vcloud-part-1-overview.html) that describes the relationships, but an example to solve this with vCO would be appreciated.

  The following should return the UUID of your vCenter Server Server assuming the input object is a vCloud:ProviderVdc object named 'providerVdc '.

  var vcdHost = providerVdc.getHost();
  var pool = providerVdc.toAdminExtensionObject().getResourcePools()[0]; // get the first resource pool (VclVMWProviderVdcResourcePool)
  var vimObjectRef = pool.resourcePoolVimObjectRef;
  var vimServer = vcdHost.getEntityByReference(VclFinderType.VIM_SERVER,vimObjectRef.vimServerRef);
  System.log("VimServer uuid: "+vimServer.uuid);
  

• Separate the Server vCenter for VDI environment?

  Should I install a separate to a new environment of view 4.5 VDI vCenter Server?

  See 4.5 can potentially reach about 3,000 users, although he will start with a pilot and after that start to add users probably a hundred at a time.

  Is our current environment vmware vCenter 4.0 Update 2, although I am considering upgrading to 4.1

  We currently have a small VMware environment with around 30 guests and about 400 virtual machines

  I was thinkng it would be good to have vCenter for our VDI environment running in a cluster in our existing vCenter environment.

  It would be wise to tie our vCenters if we do not have two?

  Any ideas on that?

  Has anyone has expereince with this size VDI environment?

  Thank you!!

  Tom

  I prefer to run a separate instance of vCenter. Our deployment is much smaller than yours, and we run it separate because it isolates environments, allows to plan maintenance and does not affect the two environments, because VMware has fallen behind manufacturing discovers completely compatible with the latest versions of vSphere in the past (e.g. vSphere 4.1 requires 64-bit Windows when composer would not run under 64-bit.)

  Especially in an environment as large as yours, I it would run separately.

• You will need to create an account only read in vcenter for acess... It is an AD account

  Any script for the need to create an account only read in vcenter for access... It is an AD account? Thank you

  I guess you must assign the ReadOnly to an account Active Directory on a specific entity in your vCenter.

  If Yes, you can do something like this

  $cluster = get-Cluster-name mycluster

  New-VIPermission-body $cluster - role ReadOnly-main "DOMAIN\account."

• vCenter vCenter for desktops vs. servers

  I quote a customer 12 ent + licenses vSphere, VMware View Prime Minister bundle of 10, vCenter Operations manager and Director vCloud for 25. VMs by specifications, for operations and vCloud director you need to have a vCenter license in order to purchase these licenses. When I look in the specs for VMware View Prime Minister, there is a vCenter for included desktop computers. I don't know if I should quote a std regular vCenter for servers license or license notice will focus on what I need. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

  The license of vCenter in vSphere for desktops can only be used with Office workloads.  So to answer your question Yes licecnse included vCenter is identical to vCenter Server standard, it can be used only with Office workloads.  If you use server workloads, you can buy a vCenter license.

• 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.

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

• A regional VCenter for easy monument.

  Hi all

  I'm trying to understand the best practices of using VCenter. Currently, my employer has several HA Clusters on ESXi 5.5. Each group has its own VC.  All clusters are distributed in many countries.

  In the past I worked for most companies have had a VC by region (Group of many counties) that VC has been used for the management of all hosts.

  I guess there is no problem with the route of a regional VC? Also HA work always locally between each paired host?

  Hello

  If your WAN between your locations is bad and you have a lot of power outages, a VC by site may be a good idea.

  As you can not do management tasks, deploy virtual machines, take snapshots, etc. when the connection to the vCenter server is lost.

  If your network is stable server vCenter by region can work very well.

  Also note that HA does not vCenter to work. It is just used to define the parameters of HA. Once set up, HA works locally on ESXi hosts.

• vCenter for protection SQL Server Heartbeat mount points

  Asking if anyone out there knows if vCenter Heartbeat (6.6) supports SQL Server installed on the mounting Points, this installation of HB is to protect the DB SQL vCenter.

  The file system has a provision when the directory of newspapers and directory bin ect are each on a mount point in the same volume of index (g) (for example diskpart: ASSIGN MOUNT G:\SQL55_BIN)

  I get this error when you start replication, and replication does not start.

  Automated Replication Stop Applied : Use of Invalid Reparse Point / Microsoft Mount Point has been detected for the file / directory : G:\SQL55_BIN
  As a result of this, VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat has been stopped with the protected applications left running.
  

  Have not been able to find this error on the googleplex and no reference to the doco on the mount points...

  I know that the end of his LIFE, but I'm not the decision maker and happy not to do.

  Clues?

  FYI,.

  mount points is not supported

• How to add a LUN replicated to vCenter for test of recovery after disaster?

  We are currently on version 5.1 of ESXi and vCenter.  We have a DR test to come to one of our applications that includes about 12 VMs.  My question is, when he introduced the LUNS replicated to our Dominican Republic / Test environment vSphere on our DR site, should we choose to will Lun?  I thought I had read somewhere that for all hosts in a cluster VMware can see the LUN, it must be resigned, rather than simply mount the LUNS without resignaturing, which I believe cannot be presented to a host then do it this way.  I just wanted to confirm whether or not it is correct.

  Also, if will be resignaturing LUN, we must manually update the references for each virtual machines vmdk files, or which is done automatically?

  When making a DR test previously and just pick up the LUN and not at will, the logic unit number was visible as a single host that is located in a three-node cluster.

  Thank you

  What will happen when you present a LUN to a host depends on whether the host saw the signature before, i.e. the LUN was mounted previously and was not dismantled/detached correctly. In the case of a known signature, the LUN will be considered to be a 'snapshot LUN' and it is necessary to will it to make it appear like a new LUN on the host, or you will have to manually force mount the LUNS. By resignaturing the LUN to one of the hosts, it will be recognized by all other guests too. Editing should be done separately on each host. For more information, see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1011387.

  You can also take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2004605 to find out how properly remove/detach a unit logic of a host number, so that should not keep the signature.

• Space required on the server vCenter for statistical level increased

  I'm in vCenter Server and this is the SQL database on separate virtual machines.  I have size my SQL database for level 2 of the statistics.  What is the size of the disk hard virtual on my server vCenter Server must support statistics level 2 to 3000 VMs and 150 physical servers?  I know that the main impact of the size of the disk is SQL Server according to the requirements not vCenter to because the VCDB database is stored on my SQL Server in this case.  However, if a major impact is to increase your level of 1 to 2 on virtual disks of vCenter Server statistics? (I have already addressed vCPU and needs of vRAM and prepared for this, I just need to look at the disk space now)

  Thank you!

  You're right, the size of the database will be the primary component that is affected when you increase the level of statistics. I don't see any impact on the vCenter Server disks.

• Reconnect a disconnected host vCenter for the VC plugin

  Meet us enough frequently a problem with a vCenter is no longer communicate with the plugin from VC.  I want to be able to do is to force the plugin to try a reconnection to the vCenter when it is in such a State.  Sometimes the VC plugin will appear under the name "unusable" in inventory and at other times, it looks good, but if you try to cross the inventory, you'll find yourself with this defect.  The only way that I was able to get the happy connection is again to restart the vCO Server service.  What I would like to be able to do is to check for a null or undefined or null return value when I expect to be valid, as appropriate to tell her to reconnect, if it still does not then kill the process.  I can easily do the test, but I don't know how to force a refresh of the connection.  VcPlugin.refreshObjects () would result in a reconnect happening?

• Migrate from ESXi hosting vCenter for vdSwitch

  Hello

  I'm trying to migrate my two 5.1 ESXi (port management and virtual machine) for distributed virtual switch but one of them host the vCenter 5.1. I import one successfully, but the one with the vcenter may not be imported. Is there a quick way to do without re install the vCenter?

  Thanx.

  If the vCenter is on a storage shared between two hosts of ESXi. Stop the VM vCenter. Once turned off.

  Connect to the two hosts individually using vSphere client by using the credentials of the root.

  Remove the vCenter VM inventory and re-register to the host using dvswitch.

  On the VM vCenter back and migrate the other host to dvswitch now.

• vCenter for ESXi 5.0

  Hello. Don't know if this is the right place for this question, but...

  vCenter Server: either as a physical plant or as a virtual facility...

  If crossover is installed on another (or even the same) physical/virtual machine as vCenter, would update vCenter Server do restart, freeing chaos in the laboratory of data?

  I think that if it is a physical installation (both vCS and vUM on the same machine), there is no problem, but if both are virtualized on the same server ESXi, there might be?

  What happens if they are on different physical or virtual? This scenario would change?

  I just want to create an installation of bulltproof (more or less) in the laboratory so 'if' updates occur, it will not take the managed infrastructure.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  I understand your concerns now. With regard to updating VUM on a virtual machine, with VUM 5.x, you can only change the VM tools and virtual machine hardware. You could pretty well do it manually, outside of VUM.

  The declaration in fact strengthening Guide refers to the scenario if the VUM virtual machine restarts while remediation of other virtual machines as well as himself, and then it will stop the remediation process.

• Connecting two servers vCenter for a server for SSO in basic mode

  Can you connect two vCenter servers to a single server for authentication, if authentication single server configured in the basic Mode?

  For example, I have two vCenter servers in one site. I have install Single Sign on server on a separate virtual computer.    Two vCenter servers use only one SSO server for authentication.  Does it work?

• Do I really need a server license 5.0 vcenter for my vsphere Enterprise 5.0

  Hi all, im new to the Forum vmware and encryption currently in terms of licensing for our small internal data center facility.

  My physical features are for licensing

  Guests: 2

  Number of CPUS: 4

  by CPU core: 6

  For each host RAM: 32 GB will later expand to 64 GB

  and a device to IBM SAN

  If I purchase 4 licenses of the company and need to use the FT features and HA I really need the server vcenter license for that?

  What will miss if I do not buy the license of vcenter server?

  Buy licenses without any SnS that it's expensive, and we want to keep to a bare licensing.

  I thank in advance

  It will be possible to lower the cost even more far by going to an ENT AK but with vsphere Foundation? instead of the standard... or is it a fixed regime that cannot be changed.

  The Kits are sold as announced. These are especially price of starter kits that can be purchased once per site.

  What other discounts can I ask my distributor to provide other than VPP.

  Can't help you on this. I'm not even sure if you can get the volume for only 4 licenses processor licensing more vCenter Server.

  If above our list price no idea what sort of profit my distribution partner for vmware will do about that?

  How are they able to cite much less than these rates mentioned above!

  I don't think you will get an answer to these questions. Not sure what your company product, but I'm sure that you don't tell your clients how much profit you make on your products.
