• vCenter Server Component install hangs on the installation directory services

  Hello

  I'm on a 64-bit OS of Windows 2008. I update vCenter 5.5 Update 2 and 5.5 updated 3d.  I can install the SSO, WebClient and Inventory Service very well without any problems.  I get to the vCenter server component and it hangs on "Install Directory Services".  I checked the vminst.log and I get:

  "Try to start ["C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe"/c start /w C:\Windows\system32\ocsetup.exe DirectoryServices-ADAM/passive /norestart].

  
  

  I Googled that and of course a dozen connections to users having problems with installing the server vCenter on Windows 2012R2 lack the ocsetup.exe. As I said, I'm still on Win2008.  I have not ran sfc/scannow - no chance.  I tried to copy the ocsetup.exe from a Win2008 well-known to vCenter box - same thing.  Tried different accounts thinking I have a bad profile - no luck.  Anyone have a similar problem?
  

  well, too bad.  I guess I wasn't be patient.  This time I let it "hang" and it finally finished after almost an hour.  At least see the progress bar move would have been useful.

• Choice of the database for vCenter Server 5 install on Windows Server 2003

  Hi all.

  We have an environment of health care small assisted living with a dozen sites/servers.

  A server has 3 VMw4 vms on it.

  We received two new servers each with ESXi installed 5. They will host several virtual machines of Windows Server for most of the migration of the current VMw4.

  I want to install vCenter Server 5 to manage.

  My book of VMware by Lowe, he mentions that the provided SqlExp08 is fine for 5 guests and 50 virtual machines.

  Us will never get more than that, probably.

  However, the server I want to install vCSrv5 on already has installed some Sql05 and Sql08 in use by other applications.

  These applications will be migrated to our new virtual machines later with their respective db.

  My questions are:

  (1) should I install vCSrv5 and use the provided SqlExp08 and just let it go at that? Should the PB is on another drive or should she be on a different server?

  (2) can I install using an instance of Sql05 or Sql08 that is already installed?

  I'm not sure about the impacts later when I migrate the few applications that currently use Sql05/Sql08.

  I'm not a DBA, but a dedicated database would seem to be the best.

  Do not forget that once our virtual machines installed vCSrv5 probably make much since most of the features are for large environments with multiple virtual machines.

  Any thoughts?

  Thanks in advance.

  The VM 5 host 50 thing is not applied hard.

  If you use the DB delivered, it will be on the same machine as the CV.

  Also a database dedicated to VC is the preferred option.

• vCenter Server 5 install in a virtual machine or not?

  Hi all.

  We have a health care environment small assisted living with a dozen sites/servers

  A server has 3 VMw4 vms on it.

  We received two new servers ESXi installed 5. They will host several virtual machines of Windows Server for most of the migration of the current VMw4.

  I want to install vCenter Server 5 to manage.

  My book of VMware by Lowe, he mentions that install the vCenter server in a virtual machine has limits.

  It mentions cold migration, cloning and editing material are not available.

  He also mentions the considerations with the help of a distributed virtual switch.

  Ufortunately that he won't go into details.

  But there seems to be benefits such as the backup server and fast food when you use a virtual machine.

  Any thoughts?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  It is one of the common design decision. now VMware recommended is to use a virtual machine.

  some of the benefits you can get are: -.

  The vCenter Server system can be revived in a cluster of high availability of vSphere

  VM resources CPU and memory can be easily resized. The vCenter Server system also benefits from vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) cluster workload balancing.

  You can easily save or create a virtual machine as needed.

  him as a physical Machine will be some disadvantages such as:-

  To ensure availability, you must purchase and use additional software such as vCenter Server Heartbeat or a third-party clustering solution.

  You must properly size the physical machine's resources.

  You must have a separate system and use imaging software to take a snapshot of a physical machine.

• Not a valid Win32 - vCenter server application install on W2K3

  Hello

  We want to evaluate vSphere but stuck at the beginning, when you try to install vCenter Server we get "D:\ is not not a valid Win32 application" when you try to run the installation from the DVD.

  This is true on Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Ed R2 and Windows 2003 Server Enterprise edition 64-bit. They are freshly installed with nothing on it systems. If I put the DVD in an older system, it works very well, so I'm starting to think there is a required dependency.

  I tried to install Windows Installer (2, 3.1 and 4.5), to no success.

  Any suggestions?

  Have you tried just copying the source locally and the installation of that?

  Seems strange to try, but your error message seems to point to the D:\ (dvd I guess)

  Are these virtual machines or physical servers?

• vCenter Server 4 - install the Hyper-V virtual computer

  Hello

  We have a system of blade with VMware, but we have another Hyper-v Server. I intend to install for server vCenter blade VMware (3 x ESXi) on the Hyper-V virtual machine. So it will be another material of ESXi servers but still the virtual machine.

  Think you, it s reasonable method or nonsense?

  Thanks for the response (s), HM

  Yuck.  Sounds messy and much more complex that it should be.

  How about this.  Only have a system independent as esxi, but living installed on it outside your vsphere cluster.  Run a VM on it; the virtual machine running VCenter.  This virtual machine would ideally live on your network SAN's own logic unit number.  This way you get the benefit of it being virtualized, but also the advantage of it live inside your vsphere cluster.  It's like I do, and I think it offers really the combination of security and portability.

• vCenter Server install Question

  Hello fellow professionals of computer science,

  My question is based on 1 single step in installing vCenter. The part of the installation that I have a question about is the destination directories. In this step, it gives you the option to use the default directory or change the directory where the server vCenter Server is installed. Then just below that is the ability to change the directory data for the vCenter Server server are installed too. My question is when he says data do you mean virtual machines? I ask because I have little space to work with the vCenter Server alone. If the data for the vCenter server means computer virtual vhd then I can change that to a SAN that has at least 5-6 to a value space.

  Hello

  The vCenter Server allocates any virtual machine inside the disks.

  This means installation vCenter only data. You point where the virtual machine is preserved when you create a new virtual machine (normally on storage)

• vCenter Server 4 or 5: upgrade or install fees?

  I work with a client who needs to upgrade their current vCenter Server 4.X to v5 (Physics/stand-alone). They decided to replace the physical vCenter server is installed on because the warranty will expire quickly and seller support will need to be renewed.

  There are about 10-20 host ESX [4.1] and more than 200 virtual machines. I understand that a lot of configurations will be lost when moving to the new server vCenter Server. My questions are the following:

  1. If you use the old DB from the previous VC, what should I know.

  2 should I remove clusters and old guests of the VC before turning off?

  3. What is the best order, by doing this? ((reference KB is nice))

  4 can I completely remove the data center which managed the old VC - then put power off, and then add the ESX host and basically "start over"?

  5. what 3rd party SSL certs? Someone had problems with these when you add hosts to the new vCenter Server?

  6. currently, the environment has configured EVC modes, will be these configs maintained by the environment when I add the hosts in an EVC cluster with the new Victoria Cross?

  Basically, I want to just cover all the basics and be as prepared as possible.

  In addition, there are a separate part of the existing data center which must be PCI compatible, with special configurations in place. Will be those recognized by the new vCenter since I intend to old DB from VC help?

  Thank you in advance for help and offer your experience and suggestions!

  Hello

  I consider this time that you asked before upgrade :-)

  I work with a client who needs to upgrade their current vCenter Server 4.X to v5 (Physics/stand-alone). They decided to replace the physical vCenter server is installed on because the warranty will expire quickly and seller support will need to be renewed.

  no problem with the new physical server migration

  Open link below, your script is called, go to vCenter Server on a different Machine and upgrade the database, but I definatelly advice you read together the subject called to upgrade to vCetner Server 5 :-)

  http://pubs.VMware.com/vSphere-50/index.jsp

  1. If you use the old DB from the previous VC, what should I know

  • Stop services vCenter and DB do back up everything first, before the migration
  • point of ODBC new vCenter server up to old DB before the start of the migration

  2 should I remove clusters and old guests of the VC before turning off?

  not to feed anythin off :-) do not remove anything from the old server vCenter, just stop services vCenter before migration

  3. What is the best order, by doing this? ((reference KB is nice))

  See point above

  4 can I completely remove the data center which managed the old VC - then put power off, and then add the ESX host and basically "start over"?

  See the two points above

  5. what 3rd party SSL certs? Someone had problems with these when you add hosts to the new vCenter Server?

  If you migrate correctly use migration - migration utility provided by VMware, no problem with certificates

  6. currently, the environment has configured EVC modes, will be these configs maintained by the environment when I add the hosts in an EVC cluster with the new Victoria Cross?

  Migrate to the new vCetner with DB, you will avoid the problems of CVS

  Good luck

• How update you the server vCenter Server?

  I have a virtual machine in my vSphere environment running Windows Server 2008 R2 that has update manager installed on it and my vCenter Server installation.  After scanning it with the Update Manager, it showed it needed to upgrade VMware tools to match the host and also to modernize hardware virtual machine to correspond also to the host.  I've improved the tools successfully, but when I tried to restore the VM for the hardware, I got the following error message:

  "VM [VM name] has vSphere VMware Update Manager or VMware vCenter Server is installed.  This virtual machine will be ignored for the scan and sanitation. »

  So, how can I get around this because I use this machine virtual also patch/update the other hosts/VMs and this is my installation vCenter?

  Yes, it must be turned off. So your only option in this case is to connect to the host, Vcenter, and then right click to upgrade.  Unfortunately, this is your only option

• How start/use vCenter Server?

  Hi guys, first I want to apologize to post an easy question to most of you, but it seems that could not answer this question with most of our staff here. For starters, I installed a vCenter Server 4.0 on a Windows XP Pro 32 Bit. The installation goes smoothly using the default SQL database that provides VMware. However after you have installed the server vCenter, we could not find anywhere! We tried to find it in all programs & gt; & gt; VMware & gt; & gt; & lt; And nothing! & gt;! If I'm not mistaken there must be an executable file as the vSphere Client shortcut located in the same directory?

  So far, we have concluded that the vCenter Server is installed in the computer as we gazed at the Add/Remove program list and found the vCenter Server installed! We also enabled vCenter Server Services but still nothing. We find the vCenter Server in the wrong direction or we should access the vCenter Server via a web browser? Any solutions would be appreciated.

  VMthinker wrote:

  UH thanks for your reply but I'm abit still confuse as I just want to know how to start the vCenter Server?

  The method is similar to the start of the vSphere client whereby you just double click the shortcut icon?

  vCenter runs like a bouquet of services. The installation created these services, to 'autostart' and began to their. Because they are defined in the autostart, they become active whenever the system is booted.

  I have already installed the server vCenter Server if the host of the vCenter server would be the same IP as the server ESXi?

  No, of course not. vCenter runs on a separate host Windows. The vCenter server IP address must be unique within the subnet IP used as each host must have a unique IP address.

  Even once, the vClient dowhnload, beginning as you start Word (or Openoffice), enter hostr of the vCenter server's NetBIOS name or its IP address as the destination to connect to and a combination of DOMAIN\username of a user who belongs to the vCenter server's local administrator group.

• installation of licenses for unit 3 expiration vSphere ESX 4 & 1 vCenter server

  Hello

  I have a problem with the installation of vSphere for unit 3 licenses expired ESX 4 & 1 Server vCenter.

  I have server unit 3 ESX 4 & 1 vCenter server is installed on the evaluation version that all were connected and works well.

  Today, I saw evaluation is expired and I have installed a license purchased for vCenter, now works well... & out of server ESX 3 1 automatically

  Get connected & I have including the license key for this ESX box... but I was not able to enter a license key for other areas of ESX4 2.

  So what I did is I connected ESX4 directly from vSphere client & entered a license key, its activated, but when I disconnected and tried to connect

  Yet once vcenter, it does not say "your ESX Server license has expired.

  So my question is why I can't bring back boxes ESX4 to vCenter?, what could be the possible solution?

  Help, please.

  Thank you

  Rashid

  You can enter all vCenter licenses (all series numbers) and then just assign a particular series (or licenses of serial number) via vCenter.

• Errors in the charge installing vcenter Server 5.5 with respect to the SQL database

  I do a new install of vCenter Server 5.5 on a new Windows 2008 R2 server. The database for this facility is pointing at a 32-bit Windows 2003 SP2 server. I installed SQL Native Client 10.0 on server vCenter Server 64-bit, and then I could make my DSN ODBC 64-bit connection. The vCenter Server install could very well recognize it, but after the installation got going he wrong on the database with the following error:

  Error 25003.Setup cannot create vCenter Server repository. The main reasons for this failure are:

  -The database is installed using insensitive case.

  -The database is remote and the client database version does not match the database version. If this problem continues to persist, see KB 1003960 for further assistance.

  Well, I know that the version of the client and the version of database do not match. SQL native client on the sql server is 9.00.5000.00 and the version on the server vCenter Server is 10.50.1600.1.

  I know that this version of vCenter is compatible with an installation of 32-bit sql server 2005 on a 32-bit server, 2003.

  I am not familiar too if they want upgrade me sql native client on the sql server, but is not compatible with the version of sql server on this server and there are several database for other applications on this server, so I don't want to jump into something like that.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  I install the native client SQL 2005 and give a shot.
