vCenter Operations Manager doesn't show any new virtual machines added

Hi all

I have a 5.5U2 of vSphere environment coupled with Operations Manager 5.8.4 vCenter in this environment, I have a strange behavior as new created virtual machines are not directly shown in the tree view of the infrastructure. Sometimes they raise within the hour, sometimes, others may need several days to appear.

If I want an immediate reflection of VMS in vCenter, I have the best "Workaround", I tried to restart the services Operations Manager vCenter virtual machine of the user interface.

All components are registered in DNS names, I checked that all entries are correct, that is the case. And they can be solved.

Operations Manager vCenter is secured by a member of MS internal CA of an Active Directory domain.

After "googleing"I've seen a similar question on hosts that are not visible, but not the VMs."

Some of you have already experienced this kind of questions?

Thanks for your comments,

Michael

As reported by the VMware support, it's normal behavior with this version of vCOPS. Switch to the 6.x version to solve the problem.

    You can configure display it resources discovered by vCenter Infrastructure Navigator in vCenter Operations Manager. This version introduced a feature of configurable Infrastructure Navigator vCenter adapter filtering to control the service and Application reporting of Application resources. For each resource type, you can set up a "black list" or "whiteList" filtering in the filterList.txtconfiguration file.

    • black list: the Infrastructure Navigator vCenter adapter ignores the specified entries. If a name of Service Application or an Application name is included in the "black list", it is not reported by the adapter to Infrastructure Navigator vCenter. It is the default setting. The Infrastructure Navigator vCenter adapter filters unknown names of default Application services.
    • white list: Infrastructure Navigator vCenter adapter reports only the specified entries. If there are no entries added to the white list mode, none of the resources of the resource type matching appear.

  • Suggestion on Vcenter DB migration on the new virtual machine and enhancement vcenter server

    Hello

    I'm looking for any suggestion/plan with Vcenter DB migration steps towards the new virtual machine, and then upgrade the server vcenter

    4.1 for Update1/2

    My plan will be

    (1) creating new virtual machine.

    (2) fresh install 64-bit OS

    (3) migration Vcenter DB of the physical server to the new virtual machine.

    (4) upgrade to Vcenter Server 4.1 update 41 4.1 Update1/2

    Anything else missing then please let me know.

    Thank you

    vmguy

    Hi vmguy

    I agree with this approach

    (3) migration Vcenter DB of the physical server to the new virtual machine.

    As long as you leave the old DB in tact and simply detach and copy the DB to the new Victoria Cross.

    Before you run the upgrade on the new VC and DB.

    This way, you have a restoration plan in case something goes wrong with the upgrade.

    Just to add:

    You must migrate the ADAM database so to maintain the specified permissions vCenter

    See: Migrateing vCenter new host

    Please allow points if you find this useful/correct

  • Assessment of Windows has expired the vcenter - how to recreate in a new virtual machine?

    For reasons I won't go into detail, the Windows evaluation period has expired for a VM running vCenter server for a project I'm working on that.  They have the license key is not the media that they installed, so once they have the appropriate support, they will create a new virtual machine with the installation of operating system licensed correctly and install vCenter Server/MSDE on it from scratch (the same way the other VM was built).  What is the best way to get over as much information as possible from the old instance of vCenter?  (We can not do related modes because we cannot connect to the old VM more.)

    > Is there a good way to replicate this info from the old DB to new DB

    Well don't know if you want to say that Oracle or SQL.  If it is easy SQL, simply move the entire file *.dbf VC points currently on the new server of DB.  That's why I love SQL server, easy migration.

  • VMotion and new Virtual Machine problems

    Hello

    Got a VI2 farm with 3 ESX servers.

    1 of the ESX servers play big time... when I try to VMotion VM him another 2 or create a new virtual machine, it gives the same error message ' reason: could not start the operation of long duration for the server VM.» Reason: Failed to get the directory config (basename = servername"

    Can I migrate from the problem for the other 2 ESX Server but not for her. Cold cant migrate either.

    I checked the logs, rebooted and rebooted vCenter Agent. Still no luck.

    Any help appriciated!

    This thread help me?

    Check this one, too.

    Basically, it seems that the system has trouble finding / access to one or more of the files associated with the virtual machine. Given that you can migrate to and not the host, I suspect it's the permissions problem reported in the first thread.

  • OsCustomizationSpec and OSCustomizationNicMapping they are a good way to set up the new virtual machine for the model

    I build a script to generate auto magicly VM when I have import information from a csv file. I have the latest PowerCli, I am trying to build servers r2 Sever 2012 model.  I tried several OsCustomizationSpec (OCS) of in the hope of getting something to work, but I had no luck so far.  In VCenter, it shows that it applies the OCS, but is not apear to have an impact on the server.  I have disabled UAC since the last time that I tried it so maybe that will make a difference.  I am under ESXi 5.1 update 2, just to try to give all the necessary information.  Ideally, I'd like Sysprep, the value of intellectual property, change the computer name and join the server to the domain.  That's all! lol I have the book "VMware vSphere PowerCLI Reffernece, automating vSphere Administration, I walked through step by step.  The new version of PowerCli seems not have the x 86 limitation as earlier versions of PowerCli.  I tried so many different things, I'm not sure what to put in place as a starting point.

    # Save the object credentials with permission to join the domain.
    $DomainCredentials = get-Credential "domain\testername."
    # Clone our Spec by adding the domain information.
    $Spec = get-OSCustomizationSpec "Windows Server 2012 R2"
    $Spec += get-OSCustomizationNicMapping - Spec $Spec
    #$Spec | Select *.

    # Get our VM
    # Change network settings
    Get - VM BigServername | Get-NetworkAdapter | Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkName nic - 172.16.25 - VLAN225 - connected: $true '
    -Confirm: $false | out-null
    # Close the comments to make change.
    Stop-VMGuest - VM $VM - confirm: $false | out-null
    # Wait while feedback stops
    While ($vm. ExtensionData.Runtime.PowerState - not "poweredOff")
    {
    Start-Sleep - seconds 1
    $vm. ExtensionData.UpdateViewData ('Runtime.PowerState')
    }
    # Apply Spec customization to apply the new network settings
    Get - VM "BigServername" |
    Set-VM - OSCustomizationSpec "R2 Windows Server 2012" - confirm: $false |
    Start-VM

    I can rebuild the model, or something else, we must do this work.

    OR - is simply not the best way to configure the VM?  If not, what Sysprep?

    Good news, but first, I would really like to know where the log files are on which server to the OsCustomization process.

    I decided to reverse engineer and create a CSOS within vCeneter and once I got to work, I kept creating new CSO via PowerCli until I could get that to work, create a new virtual machine.  Once I got this to work, I have tryied to apply on a cloned vm, with no parameters. I got it works too.  I tried to go back to my original image, but I couldn't get this to work.  Something's wrong with this picture.  He wrath that the problem was related to the permissions on the local client.

    New OSCustomizationSpec - OrgName company OSType - Windows - ChangeSid-Server "vcenter.dom.com" - name PowerCliOnly4 - persistent administrator-Type FullName - AdminPassword! password123 - zone "Eastern (USA and Canada)" AutoLogonCount - 3 - domain dom dadmin - DomainUsername - DomainPassword! password123 NamingScheme - vm-Description "PowerCli Use only" - confirm: $false

    This seems to be very picky.  Because the area is one of the parameters, you cannot put it in the DomainUsername, no dom\dadmin. The part that I really want to know how to get more, is what happens if your vm has a different local administrator as the administrator account.  It turns out that FullName - is not the account that it to connect locally with tires.

    I think that it is good to know that the virtual machine reboot 4 or 5 times as it goes through this process.  It breaks is you try and do something for the virtual machine that interrupt the process.  I don't know that I'll think more questions in a second.

    In addition, it cost he had some problems with the put between quotation marks, single or double around the password, but I did not check this again, I just know that once I took them, he began to work.  I ran on other issues while testing as I was using a single IP address, so if I do not disable the test VM, the following would not work because of the conflct network, maybe I shouldn't admit that... lol

    Hello

    It's the right workflow, but you must provide a pool of valuable resources for this workflow. If you do not resource pools, it can be shown in a vCO to root in the inventory (vCenter does not work).
