• Do need me a separate license for VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat for a remote SQL Server database?

  Do need me a separate license for VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat for a remote SQL Server database?

  Only a single vCenter Server Heartbeat license is necessary to protect the components of the vCenter Server installed remotely, including SQL Server. A single license is also used for several UNIQUE for vCenter Server services protected authentication servers. A license is required per instance of vCenter Server.

• vCenter server from unit 5.5 after the migration from one host to another host

  Hello

  
  

  I had to migrate our VCenter Server Appliance VM (5.5 x) that uses the database into another ESXi host.

  Once the VM has moved successfully from one host to another, after the virtual machine restarts, I'm not able to connect to it.

  I get the following error: Client is not authenticated to the Service of the inventory of VMware - https://web-vcenter1:10443

  Hi Ryan,

  I fixed all my issues in upgrading the VCSA to the latest version. Version 5.5.0 Build 2414847

  Other treatments VCSA had already been upgraded to this version and it worked very well.

  Thanks for help with ideas.

  PS: You were right - I log in as root and not as an administrator and this is why I did not see the SSO pages.

• vCenter Server 5.0, 5.5, and SSO deployment Modes

  Hello

  Just after a few reviews I've seen conflicting opinions on this.

  
  I have half a dozen instances of vCenter server. They are all on the same AD domain but quite geographically dispersed and the links are of variable quality. Each site has its own VC based on vSphere 5.0 on 2008 Server with a separate database providing functions and MS SQL Server. Every VC has its own instance (local) Single Sign On hosted on the local SQL DB. All instances are independent, there is no bound mode and or other dependencies between them. Other than the AD, they are completely isolated. They are also quite low (a few hundred VMs, less than 10 guests).

  I plan to spend 5.5 and considered him my options for SINGLE sign-on. According to the Documentation Center 5.5 I have three options of SSO - Standalone/Basic, high availability, and Multisite.

  
  Ignoring the high availability, I don't know if I should go to basic, with a standalone (local to the VC) SSO to each site or multi-site, with a local SSO to each site but a part of the same domain of SSO authentication. The 5.5 Documentation Centre indicates that if I do not use related modes (which I am not) then a basic each site deployment will end.

  
  However, the 20724335 KB that the last line seems to indicate that multisite reading is preferable for instances of PASS-THROUGH authentication after the first installation.

  Important : VMware recommends this deployment mode during the installation of servers to Single Sign-On vCenter extra in your environment.

  At the moment I tend to keep it simple and stick to the base, but I'd like to see if someone else has done this differently, and if I should go down the road of multisite?

  Thank you

  Chris

  The multisite configuration will you be gives certain advantages, as built-in multi-master replication automatic which will ensure all SSO cases are always in sync and of course the possibility of using the Mode related to the future, but if it is not important in your environment, the will of stand-alone deployment / Basic works very well.

• Open connections of hosts and vCenter Server Appliance

  We have number of ESXi hosts configured in our environment with vCenter 5.1, far ssh is open to all in order to access all hosts via SSH. Although authenticating the users available but, even then, the issue raises so bound / restrict administrators IPs or subnet of the network for security reasons. Will be the same for vCenter Server Appliance.

  Also can we restriction of IP level for the Vmware Client users, good that now everyone can make the connection between vSphere and vCenter cleint. Please advice

  Hi friend

  Please see below the resources needed to achieve the same on ESXi

• vCenter Server Linked Mode or not?

  Hello

  I had the following scenario: I have an existing with 8 physical ESX host Esx environment and virtualized 1 vCenter server for all direction and 1 Cluster. Now (for Oracle license costs) my company advised me to create a second group of Esx with 4 physical ESX host.

  My question is related to the vCenter for the management of the two clusters. It is recommended to install a second vCenter Server for the Oracle VM Cluster and server vCenter link the two together (linked modes) or let them operate separately or use only 1 vCenter Server for the management of the cluster 2?

  In your opinion, what are the ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES?

  Thank you!

  Just bound mode will not give you solution Dr. bound Mode is used when there are two vcenters and they are linked together to achieve centralized management. It will all show you the inventory in both the vCenters. The first vcenter will both his and 2nd vCenters inventory and the second will have its own and inventory of 1.

  But using a UNIQUE multi-site authentication users/permissions will be replicated and since you have the replication table both of them should work together and give you DR.

• VMware vCenter Server Appliance 5.5 Active Directory domain are not under permissions

  Hey,.

  I use VMware vCenter Server Appliance 5.5.

  All Services are running correctly:

  

  I configured tge under authentication to Active Directory Service:

  

  But when I try to give permissions for groups and users to the AD.

  But it is not listed in the vsphere Client and WebGUI

  

  

  Can someone help me solve this problem?

  Are there any newspaper I can verify or any idea to check this?

  You will need to go to your SSO Configuration and set your ad as default domain.

  

  Once you do this, it will be displayed in the list.

• The upgrade to vCenter Server to vCenter Server 5.1 5.1 update 1 when the SQL database is remote and vCenter Server Heartbeat is installed

  Hi guys,.

  I'm in the middle of an upgrade to vSphere 5.1 5.1 vSphere update 1. I have vCenter protected by HB and SQL on a separate computer (also protected by HB) I also run Syslog, Update Manager and Proxy authentication on vCenter.

  I've successfully upgraded HB on all 4 nodes (2 x vCenter & 2 x SQL) and started the upgrade components on the secondary according to the •vCenter Server Heartbeat 6.5 server and vCenter Update 1 Installation on Windows Server 2008 when the secondary server is virtual (PDF) http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vcenter-server-heartbeat-65-u1-installation-windows-2008-virtual-guide.pdf

  I got to step 3.c

  3. change the primary/active server role:

  a launch of the vCenter Server Heartbeat wizard configure server and click the tab of the Machine to change the server role for the current server (primary) to the active State and click Finish.

  b using the Service Control Manager, start the Server Heartbeat of VMware vCenter service.

  c using the vCenter Server Heartbeat Console, check that all the status icons on the server: summary page are green indicating that the boot process is completed and protected from all the services are started.

  d using the Service Control Manager, stop the service Server Heartbeat of VMware vCenter.

  As the vCenter service does not start, I'm stuck at this point. As far as I'm concerned, the error is quite logical. I've updated vCenter using the secondary server, and then I'm trying to connect (according to the guide) with another version that breaks down.

  If I continue with the services stop and launch the installer SSO, it is trying to perform an uninstall!

  Did I miss something in this upgrade?

  Hi guys, VMware have finally updated the documentation to reflect the right way forward: https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/heartbeat_pubs.html U1 6.5 Select from the menu drop-down and you'll see the last date of update for each of the documentation is now 10/10/2013. The guide States now specifically to restore the vCenter database before proceeding with any other measure, this is copied below for convenience: "the upgrade of the main server of the upgrade process further guess upgrading the secondary server completed successfully. Procedure 1 before continuing the upgrade process, perform a restore of the database of vCenter Server, Single Sign-On database, VMware Update Manager database and SSL certificates that were backed up in step 4 on the secondary server. regards Ciaran

• Weird error with vCenter Server 5.1 plugin

  Hello

  I installed orchestrator device 5.1 with vCenter plugin. Everything is green and seems well configured.

  I am able to connect with the vCenter client and access all workflows of my!

  But when I access parts of plugin and wants to explore the vCenter Server, orchestrator returns me this error:

  [16:29:50.477 2013-04-15] [E] the authorization to perform this operation was denied. : System.View/Folder - group-d1(IP vCenter)

  I don't understand why. The user that I configured in the configuration of the plugin vCenter is an administrator and has all privileges...

  You have an idea?

  Thanks for your help.

  Concerning

  Hello!

  Are you sure the user that you have configured to connect to vCenter has the appropriate permissions to this level?

  Even for an administrator at the level of the root in vCenter you can remove/override the lower-level permissions.

  Using SSO?

  And: What authentication policy for the vCenter Plugin have you configured?

  With a ' user' logs also the user connect to vSphere WebClient / vCO must have the appropriate permissions.

  You can try to reconfigure the vCO to use a "shared session", then for all operations of the user you set up (hopefully with administrative permissions in vCenter) is used for all operations.

  See you soon,.

• How to configure vCenter Server with an external smtp server?

  Is it possible to configure vCentere Server with an external smtp server?

  In our environment, we must configure vCenter server to send email alerts when the alarms are triggered. We use the google apps (smtp.gmail.com) server as our official email server.

  I know the steps to do the same?

  You must authenticate external messages. Here is one of this tutorial. http://paulgrevink.WordPress.com/2011/02/06/configuring-vCenter-for-email-with-SMTP-authentication/

• vCenter and authentication ADS

  Hi guys,.

  We want to implement Active Directory in our vCenter (2 data centers, a few clusters).
  Can anyone share experiences, tips and advice here?

  What about the problems of authentication when ldap/ad is out of service or the domain is not available?

  You probably cannot connect with the ad account but I'm afraid of adding a single point of failure

  (eg.: cannot connect with even local accounts or vcenter server need ad services are available)

  to start services or stuff like that)

  Thank you uxmax

  You must configure your vCenter Service as 'Local System', which is the default value.

• Relocation of vCenter Server to another domain

  Here's the situation:

  I have a 2 vCenter 4.0 update server that I need to join another AD area, which is located in another forest with no trust relationship.  I also need to move my vCenter 2008 the SQL server to the new domain.  In short, so I need to move a vCenter server and SQL server field ABC to XYZ area.  The two servers running Windows 2008 R2.

  Should what order I move these servers to the new domain?

  What and in what order should I fill out to do this?

  I know that I will have to recreate my accounts of service in the new domain and change my ODBC connections.

  What about ESX hosts?  There are 3 hosts in a cluster.  They should all be moved to the new domain as well.

  Anyone have any suggestions to help me do this? Point of departure?  Thank you!!

  Okay, that's easy.  Remove from the old domain, restart.  Add to the new domain, reboot.

  Piece of cake.

  What and in what order should I fill out to do this?

  Use SQL authentication because Windows will not work if the 2 domains are not approved

  What about ESX hosts? There are 3 hosts in a cluster. They should all be moved to the new domain as well.

  NOPE.  ESX are not joined to a domain.  Change areas is one thing, changing IP is quite another.  If they are STILL accessible by the intellectual property after the domain change, then nothing else to do with ESX.
