Vcenter restored - guest disconnected

• vCenter + 3 guest - root - cannot complete the connection due to an incorrect username or password

  Hi guys,.

  It is the latest attempt to address this issue the nice way.

  We have 3 guest running VMware essentials 5.5 with Veeam B & R (recently updated v9)

  I use a unit of vCenter hosted in one of the ESXI servers. Has joined the field - but no authentication SSO or AD has never been setup for it.

  Since yesterday, I am unable to connect to no machines with my password local root - or ESXI and vCenter. I almost use the same password for the hosts and vCenter (except the vCenter last character that is special) passwords have not been changed for 400 days. (I can remember in the past I have problem with my account lockout and I had to do something in vCenter turn it off - so I guess that this has been done)

  I am guard on getting "cannot complete the connection due to an incorrect username or password" when I try to connect via vSphere client, web browser, SSH or the physical server.

  Funny but my server of Veeam speaks to vCenter as nothing happened. Veeam management shows 400 days since the last change of password for root. Also, I am able to rescan vCenter successfully. If I ask for identifying information another user from the credentials manager in Veeam he dismisses them. So somehow Veeam is still talking to vCenter...

  It's just incredibly odd that two separate passwords for ESXI and vCenter are no longer works...

  Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

  Apparently, was my old brain!

  Just enter the password once again with a slight difference and it worked. @

• VCenter show always disconnected

  Hello

  I have two ESX servers.  I have properly managed by before VC.

  When two ESX is put out of service and power then upward. one of the esx can be managed by virtual Center. I have even reconnect or remove the host, and add it again. It doesn't seem to work.

  This is a new configuration. I think the esx agent must uninstall. Please tell us how installed if necessary.

  Have you used the COMPLETE domain name when adding VC.

  Also, make sure that your root passsword is correct.

• disconnect hosts to vCenter Server 5.1.0 Build 947673 and appear as does not not after 45 seconds (always)

  I have a very strange installation, it has been stable for 6 months, I don't know if it's conciendence after the implementation of POS, but now after 45 seconds, the hosts to build 799733 ESXi 5.1.0 disconnect from vCenter Server 5.1.0 build 947673 and appear as does not.

  I can right-click on each host and deliver a Connect and servers are re-connected and then after 45 seconds, appear as the not responding again.

  The vCenter is a virtual machine, on the cluster of two hosts, use VMXNET3 interface, fully patched.

  Since the vCenter server at the time of her disconnects or does not, I do not see timeouts ping to vCenter VM guests hosts, I can also connect directly to the ESXi servers with vSphere Client and there, no problem, I still connected.

  DNS is correct, default gateway is correct, used data base is installed by default with vCenter (simple installation), SQL Express, database is not full or has reached its limit.

  nothing to the Windows event log.

  things tried

  1 rebooted ESXi hosts

  2. restart network management officers

  3 upgrade vCenter Server to build build 947673

  4 restarted vCenter Server

  5. stop all virtual machines, except vCenter Server including POS.

  is already done guest!

• NTI Backup Now EZ - full system restore restarts to black screen with blinking cursor

  My Dell Inspiron has recently crashed after installing the last "update automatically", and I had to do a full install of Win 7 OS from a disk Dell provided. I had to go as far as deleting all partitions to get the Win 7 OS to install. Once which was completed, I then tried to do a full system restore using my NTI Backup Now EZ 320 on a Toshiba Canvio 2.0. When he is finished with the restoration, I disconnected the HD and restarted my system... as stated. The system has rebooted and returned to the top with a black screen with a blinking cursor. What happened to the EZ installation?

  Any help would be appreciated.

• E possible criar outro vCenter no ambiente?

  Pessoal bom dia,.

  Had nao sei como procurar na web, e nao sei also will get explain o aqui vou had preciso, mas vamos la: EU tenho um vCenter no meu ambiente atualmente. Vira e mexe esse vCenter da problema e fica for one. AI FCIA access aos recursos vCenter o indisponivel e tal. A minha question e: e possible criar um outro vCenter como redundancia or algo parecido, of forma Quebec, quando um cair, EU win access o ambiente em outro vCenter vCenter?

  Desde ja Agradea§o o auxilio.

  Abraços.

  Voce pode ter varios vCenter em seu ambiente, very os hosts ESXi so ser gerenciados por um unico vCenter ao mesmo tempo game. SE o seu vCenter esta com problemas, minha recomendacao e that voce shouts um novo e vCenter mova guest os do vCenter antigo para o novo vCenter vCenter isso destrua o antigo apos e.

• Dell VRTX + vCenter 5.5 + Shared storage is ESXi host import issue in vCenter. Help, please!

  All,

  I have two VRTX to be used for lab purposes that I am currently in configuration.

  Blades feature 4 VRTX with a shared storage infrastructure. Each blade has 5.5 installed on ESXi.

  I configured the shared on the VRTX storage, and all the blades can go very well.

  The question I'm currently facing is when you add the vCenter for managing ESXi hosts.

  Add the first host goes without a hitch. However, add any later host fail, because vCenter finds datastore attached hosts to have the same identifier.

  The error message is (see the attached screenshot): ' Datastore 'Main Shared-storage' is in conflict with a store of data that exists in the data center which has the same URL (ds: / / vmfs/volumes/xxxxx /), but is supported by different physical storage.

  Someone knows how to fix this?

  Thank you.

  Thanks for the reply.

  I think that I have found a workaround.

  First of all, this link does not address my particular issue.

  See, it's a whole new vCenter device installation and configuration. Only one of the four hosts to add host has been added.

  Still, the problem is that each ESXi host is a blade VRTX (M620), which has access to the data store created on the shared storage of VRTX.

  Basically, each host is editing the data store shared even (the only data store created on the shared storage), which works very well except for vCenter complain when you import the hosts.

  In any case, my resolution was as follows:

  -Add the first host with the attached and mounted data store

  -Remove the data store and detach the controller shared by other guests before adding in vCenter

  -Re-attach the controller shared and set up the data store via vCenter once guests have been added

  -Re-configure each host for vSphere HA if necessary

  Thank you.

• 5.1U1 with vCenter 5.1?

  I know it is always recommended to update vCenter before guests, but is there really no problem update 5.1 to 5.1U1 guests when the vcenter remains 5.1? The only thing I can think of does not receive the new vCenter HA modules?

  Hello

  You can search the interoperability of products VMware here: VMware product interoperability Matrices

• vCenter Server Service stuck on departure

  Hi all

  I ran a problem yesterday. One of my 5.1 ESXi hosts hung up. I had to start hard. Thus all virtual machines on this subject was turned off which included my 5.1 vCenter server. After I brought everything back online, I can't start the vCenter Server service. It is stuck on the start.

  Here is my configuration:

  For vCenter and SSO database: MS SQL (separate VM).

  SSO Server: separate the VM.

  vCenter Server: separate the VM.

  It has worked fine for over a year and this is the first time, vCenter server service does not start.

  I thought it might be linked to the database. So I restarted all servers: DB, SSO and vCenter in the same sequence, but without success.

  When I go to the ODBC connection on vCenter server and try to reconfigure to connect to the DB, it gives the error:

  The connection has failed.

  SQL State: '08001'

  A SQL Server error: 53

  Could not open connection to SQL server (53)

  The connection has failed.

  I've attached a screenshot of the error.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  AG

  I solved this problem. For some reason any. the NETWORK card on the vCenter server was disconnected after the crash. vCenter could not ping the database. Checked the NETWORK card and everything is OK.

• vMotion between two servers vCenter

  From what I've read so far, it seems that this is not possible, but I just wanted to ask to make sure.

  Is it possible to live migrate a virtual machine on a host managed by 'a vCenter server' to another host managed by "vCenter Server B? All subnets and storage is exactly the same (we have our own hosts and storage, but it's just all managed under a vCenter Server now). We're just trying to completely separate our hosts and virtual machines to a subcontractor who took over the virtual environment (with the exception of what runs my team)

  I have the feeling that this requires time, which is unfortunate, because it means that it will take an extremely long time to coordinate and plan for all this work. Thought it was worth asking if...

  Thank you.

  I did something similar week last during the upgrade a 4.0 environment. I installed vCenter 5.1, then disconnected and removed the hosts the old vcenter (without first disconnecting that will prompt you to place the host in maintenance mode) and finally added to the new vCenter Server without downtime for virtual machines.

• PowerCLI start and stop ssh and necessary permissions vcenter

  We will use VMA PowerCLI for start and stop SSH via vcenter for guests ESXi 4.1. We do what we're going to start ssh, security nessus scan performance and then stop ssh. We are very pleased with the commands of VMA PowerCLI for this and I've seen a number of articles on this topic. What we have done is create a specific AD user, we will use by PowerCLI to connect to vCenter and perform the beginning and stopy of SSH. I want to do is to restrict this user with a specific in vCenter privilege so that this user can only start and stop SSH. Is there a specific privilege in vCenter I can create a role for and assign it to that user.

  Yes, the host and then Config

• Presentation storage to hosts on servers separate vCenter

  Guy couple of questions:

  1. Can someone please check that I can present safe storage to hosts that are managed by two different vCenter servers?  The original vCenter server has MANY LUNS connected with VM 50 or so running.  The new vCenter VM has a single cluster with a single host.  I need to move the hosts of origin to the new vCenter server by disconnecting > remove > add, but I need the only host in the cluster of destination to see all the storage hosting the original already see.  It was my understanding that since it is a clustered file system, you may add VMFS volumes to hosts in different groups, differect vCenter servers, etc..  Is this correct?  I can't really have any downtime during this time.
  2. If the only way to migrate a virtual computer in a cluster must be a cold migration, how I never migrate my vCenter VM to a new cluster?  If I stop the virtual machine to perform the migration, vCenter will be down to stop me moving it.  Sorry if it's a lame question. We recently moved to a machine virtual for vCenter... we were always physical.

  1. Yes, you can safely do this.  I just finished a migration of virtual machines in a cluster of 3.5 on VirtualCenter 2.5 a new vCenter and 4.1 hosts.  I had storage presented to the authorities and simply stop VMS, removed from the inventory and then added to the inventory and blah blah blah.

  2. I suppose I never tried, but you could stop the VM vCenter and then connect directly to a host with the vSphere Client and add to the inventory on the host, power back on and see if the virtual machine.  I guess it would be, but I'm not 100% sure.

• vCenter Server with vSphere Essentials best practices for small business

  I hesitated to post this thread for fear of redundancy, but I wasn't able to find an answer in previous discussions.

  I read the installation documentation for vSphere Essentials vCenter Server installation.

  
  Is it a good idea to install vCenter on my ESXi host as a virtual machine?  I don't understand how the server can be installed as a virtual machine if she must always be on.  What happens when I do the updates of the hypervisor, ESXi (4.0 to 4.1)?  This would not cause the vCenter Server to disconnect?

  Because I have Essentials, I don't have a HA and cannot migrate the server vCenter Server to another host as shown in the installation documentation.

  Thank you

  It should not be a problem - if you manually perform the update using either the esxupdate or vcenter command vihostupdate does not at all in the game - if you use VUM he actually intitiates the vihostupdate order - when restarting the host to be reconnecting to vcenter once it is running.

• Multiple VCenter servers, loop "foreach"?

  I need help with the syntax to change some of my existing scripts to connect to multiple VCenters servers that we have now in my environment.  Something along the lines of:

  $VCenters = VIServer1, VIServer2, etc..

  Foreach ($VIserver to $VCenters)

  {

  SE connect-VIServer $VIserver

  SCRIPT MAPS EXISTING HERE

  }

  Can any input on how I achieve this?

  Thank you

  Hi SNEdwards,

  I do it this way:

  $vCenters = VIServer1, VIServer2, etc.
  
  ForEach ($vCenter in $vCenters) {
  
  connect-VIServer $vCenter -User $VcUser -Password $VcUserPassd
  
  ... code to run against each vCenter...
  
  disconnect-VIserver -confirm:$false
