• Integration of vSphere and vCenter logging Question

  Hello

  A few questions!

  1. VSphere integration with vCenter Server provides all the extra features on just by pulling the newspaper from vCenter through a syslog collector?
  2. Do you see any problem with the help of nxlog or Agent Insight of the newspaper to pull the following logs listed below, even if they are written not enough constantly? (Such as file permissions or use errors)
  3. There be any question, removing the vcenter/host integration in newspaper Insight and use a separate method of sending newspapers to the Insight Journal?
  4. How the Agent Insight of the newspaper would handle files with dynamic names? I would say just journal catalina.*.log?

• R7000 drive NAS cannot delete the folders permissions question user-person not

  I have the R7000 with a Seagate STBV4000100 4 to USB 3.0 drive connected. I can connect to it very well, driving shares of work etc. Since a WIN 7 64 bit OS file system using windows Explorer I can create folders, etc.

  It comes occasionally when I try to delete some files or folders, I get the following message;

  "You must be authorized to perform this action."
  You need authorization of Unix User\nobody to make changes to this file"

  It would seem that I am not able to change the permissions of either windows Explorer.

  If anyone knows how I can change the permissions so I can delete from windows Explorer?

  One thing of note. When I copied the files/folders on the NAS of the windows system drive, some files have been marked read-only. Not sure if this is part of the question, but anyway. How do I set the permissions to something so I can remove them from windows?

  NOTE: If I disconnect the drive of the router and connect directly to the computer... it works fine. As the router and the PC are not on the same floor, is not practical and defeated the purpose. Suggestions welcome!

  After a few reformats the drive, it worked for me. The eSata disk files are exactly like Windows Explorer 'standard '. I can save, load, delete, change properties, etc... Because it worked, I had to turn off the router once, and after a reboot, nothing had changed. While working. (except the bad 5G wifi and "freaky" interface, but it was like before)...

• vCenter Licensing Question

  We are currently conducting environment vSphere with vCenter Server 5 5 (using the VCSA).  My vSphere, ESXi licensing have the right to upgrade to vSphere 6, but is not my vCenter license.  After further review, we have seen that the SnS support contact us on our vCenter license had expired in January 2015, so we went ahead and got that renewed back support.  My question is, now that we have renewed the support we may update this license vCenter vCenter license 5 6 or we will have to buy a new license of vCenter 6 new?  I checked my VMware Licensing Portal and this shows that we have supported on vCenter 2018 license, but I don't see any option upgrade to this topic.  Any input would be greatly appreciated.

  Welcome to the community,

  as far as I know all the licenses that are (or were taken over at the time a new version was released) by an active subscription can be upgraded. When you select "Update license keys" in the drop down menu "I want", you should be able to select and upgrade your vCenter Server license.

• vCenter version question

  Hello

  I have 1 host running ESXi 4.1 build 260247.

  Earlier, we add a 2nd machine ESXi for HA.  This means that I have to also run vCenter.  I have vCenter 4.1 build 259021 installed on a computer and have added that the new host to the HA cluster.  It seems to work so far...

  We will not go to vSphere 5 for awhile.

  Questions: Should I run the last vCenter 4.1 U2?  The old machines ESXi 4.1 works perfectly with the latest vCenter 4.1 U2?

  If I upgrade the hosts ESXi 4.1 4.1 U2, guests VMware tools will need to be upgraded?

  Thank you!

  Bug fixes are likely - good

  Yes!

  If I upgrade the hosts ESXi 4.1 4.1 U2, guests VMware tools will need to be upgraded?

  It would be nice, but is not an absolute requirement.  You can take your time and make it when convinient.

  Thank you!

• VCenter Converter - Question on the process

  Thanks, I'm out here with you nice people, I am currently a migration old (but loyal and faithful) Windows Advanced Server 2000 to my ESXi server.

  My question is what is happening during the conversion of the VCenter Converter running. I'm a convert about 100 GB of things. The estimated time of competition is about 17 hours.

  There is a drive C: and D: drive drive E:. When I do this for a client, I wonder if there will be data loss. More precisely, suppose that a service is running on the C: collecting data. In my case, it's true. I have a product called Spamlion goes filters email before it goes to my Exchange Server.

  Once the conversion of drive C: is complete and, I guess, the Spamlion service is restarted by the converter, not emails that come in this server * not * be copied onto the hard I create? More simply, if I had to save some .pdf on the C: drive after the C: drive has been converted would not these data * not * do more to the hard?

  When I migrate a company of Small Business Server to server ESXi will be I have to stop incoming messages and access to the server during the conversion to avoid users to save data to the SBS until I bring the ESXi virtual machine?

  Thank you very much!

  Mike Gallery

  Converter does NOT support the consintency restart or application services.

  This case, you have to malleable.

  The right way is stop all services before you start the conversion, and then start the virtual machine (reconfigure to fixed IP and remove the old drivers), then check if the services start again.

  To convert an SBS or an AD domain controller you must stop the AD, so away 2003 or earlier, you must run in AD restore mode.

• Foundation vCenter license question

  There are four servers, that we want to use as a vSphere ESXi hosts.

  VMWare vSphere Advanced Acceleration Kit (6 CPU) license includes vCenter Foundation licenses which supports up to three ESX host. What happens if we add a fourth ESXi host (if that's even possible)?

  Would it always be included with the other three, except with features like 'HA/VMotion"unavailable etc.?

  Silly question, but both of my dealers give me different answers.

  Thank you

  you get an error something like "insufficient license to...." "When you try to add the host fourth to your inventory of Foundation.

• vCenter permissions Riddle - Active Directory

  Points to the first person to understand.

  Here's my question:

  I VC1 Domain1 Domain2, Domain1 domainlocalgroup1, user1 in Domain2.  VC1 is member of Domain1.

  example 1

  If I add user1 in Domain2 as read only on VC1 and attempt to connect on VC1, I can't.  VC newspapers report that the user does not exist and he tries to question User1 Domain1.  If I add domain2\user1, I am able to connect.

  example 2

  If I add domainlocalgroup1 as read only in VC1 and then add user1 Domain2 to domainlocalgroup1 in domain1.  I can't log on as User1.  If I connect you as domain2\user1 I am able to connect.  (FYI, in this example, the user domain2\user1 removed VC permissions).

  When you view to the User1 memerships it does not list the members of the domain local group in domain1.  When you list belonging to domainlocalgroup1 it lists user1 in Domain2.

  My question is how the VC validates the user in the example 2?  If I'm unable to log on as a user just, I guess that VC is not able to validate me because he leans on Domain1.  But when I connect you as domain2\user1 I am able to connect.  I guess that the VC is the search for the user in Domain2, but example2 user only has permission for VC via the domainlocalgroup1 in domain1.  How the VC valid user1 example2?

  Enigma level - Genius

  My critical Business Tech, who is an expert on VC did not.

  Example 1 - as expected. (a) VC does not know the context of the User1, so guess its Domain1... rejects the connection.  (b) you provide the context and it works very well.  That is right.

  Example 2 - just as expected as well.  When you view memberships, you won't see any local groups other domains listed in the properties of the user (all the same way, you will not see local groups on member servers that the user is a member within its own domain). I'm surprised VC lists domainlocal... My first thought is, you have VC installed on a domain controller? Or have you it on a member server with a local group on the server? Whatever it is, Virtual Center will turn to the Group and it does exactly what that his supposed, it detects the domain2\user1 as a member of this group, validates the credentials of User1 against Domain2 and you allow in. (assuming that generic w2k3 ad with transitive trust relationships)

• File Permissions question

  Is it possible to set permissions on a folder to allow a user (not the admin of computers) to write files and all other users to read or copy them to another drive?

  I have a problem where some users are dragging the files in the folder, then lose them!  I need to make the file read-only, but still allow a user to add files.

  Thank you

  Adam

  By default, users in the same group have read and access has allowed everyone to search other directories. If you want another user to have specific reading/writing/research access to a specific folder in your home directory, you must apply Access Control Lists that give this specific user of these privileges.

  In its simplest form, you use the Finder to select and get info on the target folder. At the bottom of the GET Info Panel is a section sharing and permissions. You need to unlock the Panel until you can apply the changes. You can add the specific user name that you want to grant read and write permissions on this specific issue and if for some reason, the staff and everyone else are not read-only, you can change it here too. If you want these permissions apply to the material in the attached file, then visit the gear at the bottom of the Control Panel icon. Click on the padlock closed when finished. Test.

• Permissions question

  Hello

  There was another thread where the object of permissions for applications came. When I started using Android, I was careful about loading the applications who have had more that should be with permissions, but I slacked. I went back and checked. now, I'm mad that I gave as a BarCode Scanner apps on access to all of my personal information. My fault, I should have checked.

  I found an article that I thought was useful.

• iSCSI storage presented to the hosts managed by different vCenter Server - questions?

  I currently have three hosts (esxi 5.0) that are managed by vcenter server 5.5 U2. The hosts are attached to iSCSI LUNS (data warehouses) 10.

  I'm migrating to esxi 6.0 U2. For this, there are three new hosts have esxi 6.0 installed and managed by vcenter server 6.0 U2 U2.

  The plan is to detach/remove 5.0 5.5 U2 vcenter esxi hosts. Then import it into vcenter 6.0 U2 (a new cluster will be created). Once imported, uninstall the 5.5 vcenter u2. Then turn off the resident VMs imported esxi 5 hosts and move them to 6.0 esxi hosts.

  My query is regarding regarding storage.

  At present, three new guests see all storage the old 5.0 esxi hosts to see (guests are not in the cluster. "I'm still trying to put things up). That's because the new hosts were deposited to the same group on the side iSCSI initiator storage. Now things, data warehouses are visible by the hosts with esxi 5.0 (managed by vcenter 5.5 u2) and also the esxi hosts 6.0 (managed by vcenter 6.0 u2). The only VMs residing in esxi environment 6 is vcenter 6.0 u2 and update manager 6.0 u2. These are in a data store that is not any other virtual machines.

  That's no problem during the migration? I have not created a cluster for the esxi 6.0 hosts yet and plan to do after obtaining your entries.

  Thank you!

  No problem whatsoever, regardless whether if you do or that you add no vSphere 6 hosts in a HA cluster.

  If you temporarily enable EVC on the vSphere hosts 6, once all hosts are connected to the same vCenter you can VMotion all VMs to new hosts even without any stop. Clear CVS once the migration is complete.

• The presentation layer object permissions question

  Hi Experts,

  We had a product supplied by Oracle. The presentation layer objects have read access to the user authenticated. Now, we have created more than a few tables and imported into the presentation layer. So by default, objects are having no access. We would like to change the permissions of access forbidden to read. How can we do it for all the objects at the time? We are not able to see in the roles or users to identity the authenticated user. In the level column, we have this issue.

  Ask the experts to help understand me this about this user and where do I set the permissions correctly.

  Thanks to the Adv.

  Hello

  Change of access authorization shall read:

  Step 1: Resume of RPD

  Step 2: Copy the subject - (area some object you want to change the permissions)

  Step 3: Paste the topic for notebook

  Step 4: Replace the text 'no access 'to' read '.

  Step 5: In step 2 you had previously copied by any sector of activity, just remove the subject box in the presentation layer of RPD

  Step 6: Copy the text from Notepad and paste into the presentation layer of RPD

  Step 7: Save the PRD

• Availability of vCenter [Noob Question)

  Hi all

  I'm new in the world of VMware, I try to understand 'staffing Vcenter availability. "

  shortly I read some sources which he somehow to provide but I focused in "to using Vsphere HA" with Vcenter as VM

  the thing confuses me Vsphere Vcenter has to provide HA (Vmotion, DRS)

  So how can I provide Vcenter HA that uses "Sphere HA' if needed its Vsphere vcenter auto?

  Thank you

  Steve

  Agree with Andre.

  vCenter is only required to configure/manage vSphere HA.

  1 vSphere HA offers HA host (ESXi) failure & chess VM GOS.

  2. say you have 2 guests (ESXi) cluster (you need vCenter to create the cluster, select HA & settings)

  3. to consider that some virtual machines are running under 2 ESXi hosts.  Consider vCenter VM also operating under one of the hosts in the cluster.

  4. If the host where vCenter VM runs failed, all virtual machines including vCenter WHAT VM will be restarted on another host available.

  5 restart will have minimal downtime for all virtual machines those has restarted.

  6. due to the resumption of vCenter VM, your vCenter session will be more that all vservices are declining for some time (due to the failure of the host / restart)

  7. once vCenter VM is in place, again you can connect to vCenter and manage your cluster HA.

  8. If VM GOS vCenter fails, HA will restart the VM vCenter on the same host.

  9. in the case of these two failures, HA continues to work well without any problems. (Just manage when vcenter is upward).

  You can also learn more about "App HA" which is solution with VMware application.

  Earlier, vSphere heartbeat was the product providing HA even vCenter services. But now the end of availability.

• What vCenter permissions are required to retrievePropertiesEx()?

  I am trying to determine the exact permissons necessary to make createContainerView on the root folder and the retrievePropertiesEx() of appeal to get different properties on objects such as VirtualMachine, data center, network, file, etc..

  Anyone know?

  Hi kellybyrd,

  According to the doctors of vSphere 5.1 CreateContainerView and RetrievePropertiesEx the following privileges are required:

  CreateContainerView: privilege System.View

  RetrievePropertiesEx: privilege System.Anonymous

  More general each method specifies the required privileges in its documents in the section required Privileges

  I do nto see average on the client to fix this, so I am at a loss.  Under the Summary tab, there is a link to allow the virtual machine to be manageed through VCeneter, but this is just a link to the download of vcenter

  Any help much appreciated

  Yes, the user interface is very limited functionality beyond the functions of simple power of your guests.  You will need for the program installation/configuration/manage your VI using the vSphere Client.
