• VCenter Server 5.1 installation fails on registration with vCenter Single Sign On

  Hi all

  Server 2008R2.

  The two level 5. 01b and new facility gives the same error message.

  vCenter installed Single Sign On OK

  vCenter Inventory Service installed OK

  VCenter Server installation is interrupted when the installation dialog box says:

  Recording with vCenter Single Sign On

  The error message is:

  Error 29113. Incorrect entry - a command line argument is not, a file is not found or file specifications doesen't contain the required information, or clocks on the two systems are not synchronized. Check vm_ssoreg.log in the temporary folder of the system for more details.

  Closed log file.

  Know someone at - it a solution for this?

  I had the same problem with the certificate has expired. VMware has made a new kb article:

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2035413

  This vcsso file is only there if you do not click ok on the error window. but you do it anyway. Look under the VirtualCenter\SSL of C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware and see if the rui certificate has expired. mine did and after I removed all the files in there and restart the installation, everything went well, and the new certificate is valid 10 years ;-)

  hope it does not help anyone.

• Vsphere web client cannot connect to the authentication unique vcenter server, how to solve this problem.

  After the upgrade to 5.1, I've been running into this error a lot.  For some reason, the SSO service appears to stop working after about a week and requires a restart to get it online.  Anyone know a way to keep this service and requires no weekly restart my server vcenter which SSO, inventory and vcenter installed on it?  Is there a service that I can restart or something like that?

  In my case, the VCVA began on a new host, and time has not been properly synchronized.  Set time, no more error.

• Having problems setting up a 5.5 vCenter Server VM in a domain configuration...

  I'm trying to implement a vCenter Server VM (new installation, no upgrade) without an Active Directory domain that is available.  I was able to do this successfully in the past with 5.0 and 5.1, but now with 5.5 I have problems.

  Installing SSO works fine and displays warnings expected that the server is not on a domain and the certificate will be bound to the INVESTIGATION period.

  When I then try to run Setup from the inventory Service, it fails when you try to connect to the SSO:

  "Could not connect to vCenter Single Sign On.  Make sure that the Search Service URL points correctly to the vCenter Single Sign On the instance that you installed.  If vCenter Single Sign-On is installed with an IP address, make sure that the IP address is specified in the URL.

  5.0 and 5.1, in order to get this installation runs correctly, I would like to enter the IP address in the URL (as it says in the error), and he'd be fine.  So the address provided for the Research Service URL is https://< ip_address >: 7444/lookupservice/sdk

  I tried several variants for the fields of FULL domain name and URL of the Service search without success.

  Can someone confirm a successful for 5.5 off-field installation?  And if so, try to direct me in the right direction?

  I end up doing work, it turned out to be an order of operations issue.

  I tried to install SSO, then service inventory, then Web Service, then vcenter Server.  And on a domain, this order actually worked well.  For some reason any, when not on a domain, they must go SSO-> Web Service-> Service-> vCenter Server inventory (this command works in both scenarios, just to be clear).

• vCenter Server 5.1 fresh install database MSSQL w/box

  Hi all

  Looking for advice on how best to manage a new installation of vCenter Server 5.1 using a MSSQL database out of area.  Have done some research and looked at some of the videos that are out there, but have not found quite what I'm looking for.  So, I thought I would post.  Be gentle - I'm a bit new to the vMware environment.

  Here's my scenario.  And if there is a link/doc/post/video that covers what I'm after - very well.  Looking for a little help on searching for it.  If this isn't the case, direct responses will be fantastic.

  -Need to build a 5.1 vCenter server and use a MSSQL off the coast of the MessageBox database.  Out the door, I started with 6 guests and 24 guests, which, as I understand it, is just a little bigger than SQL Express can handle.  And the footprint of the host/guest is likely to increase over time.

  -Have available to build the DB MSSQL 2008 R2 cluster on.

  -My company has vMWare/vCenter existing deployments, but my particular scenario is going to be a unique and independent facility.

  -ESXi hosts will be 5.0 update 1 (to stay in our internal model of best practices).

  -vCenter maybe 5.1 for purposes of property management.

  -Also need to run the Update Manager, as I understand it, kind of excludes the version 'device' vcenter, or at the very least, a little complicated.

  -Leaning towards the Simple installation of vCenter 5.1.  Know that this will launch the single sign on the server, the inventory Service and the vCenter Server installed.  And that the installation of the Update Manager will be a 4th installation (and hopefully last).

  Where I am a little confused:

  -Discrete databases how should I really?  A school of thought (and practical in our 'other' vMWare environment) is 1 DB for each app on Cree.  This seems a bit complicated, but if this is the way it must be, so be.

  -I think I can run only a database and each of the 4 required applications would build/use the necessary table space they need.  Is this correct or am I far from base?

  -1 single database, if feasible, should I use a master service flavoured AD account for everything, or should I watch different service AD for different functions accounts.

  Not quite sure I'm being quite clear on what I'm after, fire so far with follow-up if necessary issues.

  1 DB for SSO, 1DB for VC and 1 DB for MUV.

  SSO DB needs to execute scripts (in your search for ISO for scripts to prepare your SQL DB:(:\Single Sign On\DBScripts\SSOServer\schema\mssql))

  The inventory service has its own DB.

• VSphere Web client and client heavy cannot connect to Vcenter server 5.5, web client fails with 2032 error before the connection, then the work after one minutes ferw.

  Hi all

  I really need help here.  I have a new installation of Esxi5.5 and installed the server vcenter build 5.5.0.5201 device 1476389.

  I have host files properly configured for DNS and Server 2008 R2 running that I use to connect with the client or web client heavy.

  Initially, I get an error with the web client to connect, he began to paint Vmware and when it comes to 'r' in the name it fails with #2032, so I can no longer

  access the page at all, he says: connection refused for the page. If I wait a while I can connect again.

  heavy client vSphere fails at this time as well.  However, I cannot communicate directly with Vsphere client to server esxi host and it works all the time.

  There seems to be a problem with the device of vcenter server because the thick client fails, and does not open a backup program using vcenter server

  inventory when this happened.

  Please help, it drives me crazy...

  Dan

  Hello

  Since I found the solution to the problem of connecting to the device of vcenter.  It is a conflict of IP address on the network.  There was a machine with the same IP address virtuall

  as the vcenter server.  This caused intermittent problems etc.. Why web client would still work if I have the vmware client open I do not know

  so thank you for your help.

• New vCenter Server install fails - SSO

  I use a new system nested for a lab at home.  I'm under Workstation 9 with the latest version of vCenter.  I have the ms SQL all set up and verified.  The clocks are set to the same time a few seconds apart.  However, during installation when I get to vCenter single sign on Information, he returned with the error:

  Incorrect entry - a command line argument is wrong, a file is not found or the spec file does not contain the required information or the clocks on the two systems are not synchronized. Check vm_ssoreg.log in the temporary folder of the system for more details.

  I checked the two KB with information about this,

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2033880

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2033875

  and after the steps, I still can't pass it.  Then, I found this blog, http://blogs.vmware.com/kb/2012/09/vcenter-server-5-1-installation-fails-with-a-wrong-input-and-certificate-already-expired-error.html#.UWZSkJOThyI and reading, I get the assumption this isn't a big deal, however, I still can't complete the installation until it is fixed, at least as far as I know.

  I'm pretty new to this forum and to implement vmware but learn a lot, but this one left me speechless right now.

• VCenter server restart - can I just it reboot?

  My SAN works somehow, but I can't access my client vsphere vcenter server through.the.  I get the error: an unknown connection error has occurred, (the request has failed because of a logon failure.  Also, I can not connect via veeam.  Everything else seems to work fine.  VCenter is a virtual machine in my SAN environment.  Can - I just restart the vcenter Server?  Or should I stop all the rest down before doing this?

  Thanks in advance for the help.

  Welcome to the community,

  the virtual machines running on the host computers are not vcenter Server, and at least that actions such as migration, backups or other things are underway which require vCenter Server, you should have no problem restarting it.

• vCenter Server 5.5 silent installation problem

  Our requirement is, vCenter Server 5.5 must be installed in silent mode with its default SQL express database.

  To do this, I am referring http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/vcenter_server_cmdline_install.pdf documentation.

  I am able to do a silent install of SSO and the inventory of service components, but stuck to a vCenter Server silent installation. On the command line, I performed following command to install the vCenter Server. This command should install vCenter Server in silent mode, but it is prompting you to press the next button to continue.

• Problems after installing vCenter has 5.1 - no vCenter Server found

  Sorry, I'm new to this and I'm having a problem installing vCenter 5.1 has on Windows Server 2008 R2 by using the simple installation.  After completing the installation without mistakes, I starts the Web Client vSphere, connect and it comes up with no vCenter server and a message that says "to get started installation is a vCenter Server system or permission to access an existing vCenter Server system.  I'm on my 4th time well and it is consistent in the result, so I figure I should ask.

  If it's important, Windows Server is not a member of Active Directory, DNS works forward and reverse, I tried the IP address and FQDN name.

  I don't know where to be troubleshooting it.  It is my first installation of vCenter. I checked all the services, and they are running.

  I watched some log files and it seems pretty clear that something is trying to talk about something and is to be rejected, but I have no idea why.

  Anyone have any suggestions?

  During the simple installation of vCenter Server 5.1 method, it will first install the SSO part. During this part, you will be asked to create a password for a user called admin@system-domain. Please note that this user is only for the management of permissions within the standards body. That's why you can't see any instance of vCenter SSO. After completing the installation of SSO, the vCenter Server installation will be lauch. During the installation, the wizard will ask you about the password previously configured for the admin@system-domain user, enter it, and then click Next.

  Second, on the next prompt you should enter a global domain, user, or a local group who will be recognized by the SSO as vCenter Administrator service. Then complete the installation. In the end, make sure the "SSL Port" under the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ADAM_VMwareVCMSDS\Parameters registry key is REG_DWORD with a decimal value of 636.

  See: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1023864

  After that, open the vSphere Client or the webclient service, enter your vCenter Server server's FULL domain name and and a name/password user (domain\username), which has permission such vCenter administrator mentioned in part II.

  I hope this helps.

  Kind regards.

• Upgrade from vCenter Server 4 to vCenter 5 problems

  I am trying to improve our server vCenter for ESXi 4.1 5. I ran the pre-upgrade and he reported no problems. After you have started the server vCenter 5 install received a message that it could not solve the COMPLETE computer domain name. I was connected under my auto (domain administrators) and could ping a domain FULL of my laptop. Is this an error message to the stop.

  Then the installation wouldn't let me select the use of the local system for the Server service account. We have SQL 2008 installed on the server by using domain connections. At this point, I stopped the installation. Do I have to create a new domain account for the service and add it to SQL with SA privileges?

  I have the downtime scheduled for this Monday finish the upgrade of our vCenter Server.

  Todd lemmiksoo

  I recently came across the error "could not resolve field FULL of computer name", and which has proved to be a wrong PTR record in the reverse lookup zone. If there is an incorrect or missing PTR record, which could lead to this error.

  You can consult the VMware Virtual Center Server service on your existing installation of vCenter to see which account is used on the tab log now? If it is not currently using the Local System account, you may need to use the account specified on the screen during the upgrade. If now it uses the Local System account, I don't know what to tell you on this subject.

• Connecting to vCenter Server 4.1 - new installation

  VMware ESXi 4.1.0 build-348481

  VMware vCenter Server Version 4.1.0 Build 491557

  I used vSphere Client to access a single ESXi host for some time.  No problem with the single host management.

  It is my first installation of vCenter Server (on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 7601 Service Pack 1).

  As Microsoft IIS Web server was already running on this host, I used alternative ports for tomcat services:

  80 > 8080

  443 > 446

  Web Services-> 8081

  When I connect to localhost:446, I can open a vSphere Web Access session and see the following:

  Then I tried using vSphere Client to administer the server vCenter Server, but cannot connect.  The error is:

  It doesn't matter if I run the Client vSphere on the same host as the center of vSphere, or a remote host.

  I tried to use the IP addresses and host names.  No difference.

• VCenter server virtual installation vs. physical

  Could Hello everyone, you give me advice on how to implement Vcenter server in Vsphere 4.1? Physical or virtual Vcenter server installation? Thanks for your help

  I used vCenter virtualized servers in environments of production for a couple of years now... I did first minus 3.5 and did in 4.0 and 4.1 with no problems at all... Performance of the vCenter Server (in production environments) has never been a problem due to using enterprise grade, powerful host servers storage and put them in place properly (all the environment too)...

  Beyond the benefits already mentioned to go with a vCenter Server virtual (that I've seen in action) I'll second the mention of make it easier to administer all of your environment... The savings are not to be rejected either... Not only can you save by not having no no need to have another Canon of material (even if it's the one you had in hand and simply re - purpose it) you save on power and the breakdown of costs (not a small amount per year on the old boxes)... There is also the added benefit of the higher speeds of communication (VM for VM networks run very fast)...

  With respect to the complexity that it could bring your network... Not really... Unless you are about to run out of IP addresses on your network (which would require either expand your subnet to allow more addresses or add another subnet within your DHCP server) you can just assing the IP address of the virtual machine (really simple) i.e. the vCenter Server... Unless you have hundreds of servers, you should not need to another range of VLAN / subnet for the virtual environment...

  I think you're really too complicate the coast network of things too... Think of it this way... Your host servers are intellectual property will 10.1.1.x, if you place the vCenter Server on the same IP range (a single system more on this beach)... You place your VM on the IP range, they are too (can be the same, may be different) linking the port of Machine Group virtual host NIC to physical switch ports correctly. Depending on your storage/SAN, you plug these host ports to correct physical switch ports...

  Do not plan things for how things are going to interconnects. That being said, it is not a surgery of the brain here... I advise you intend having redundancy at the physical level of switch NIC and host for all connections... As two NIC for the management of the network, x 2 NIC / ports for traffic of the VM port group (depending on the size of the cluster/County of VM, you will need to have enough connections to support the claim), x 2 NIC / ports for SAN connectivity, etc... This is why I generally 8-10 NIC / ports in each host I've implemented (production level hosts)... This includes (in general) the four s Integrated NIC, so adding a pair of dual-port, or a quad (always class Intel server NIC is there), or a combination, to each host.

  If you're having trouble designing the configuration of your network, view information such as the physical switches (and how the ports are configured so divided into several VLAN) for regular traffic and SAN connections, host configurations (include the two how many ports on board and through additional cards), SAN brand/model (and how which many network/controllers there how many ports per controller) etc... See also how you plan to put it all and will help people here making sure what did it right (or even better for the environment, in which it is to enter)... If the network is already installed, works well, and looking just to put more things in place (within the cluster) is something else...
