• vCenter breaks down, what are the feature will not work?

  My vcenter goes down, I got 5 each cluster having 5 hosts in the cluster and I had configured HA and DRS and fault tolerance 5, it's never good thing work?

  Please help me to solve this problem.

  • HA will continue to work. It is configured via vCenter Server (i.e. vCenter Server configure the hosts), but it does not need vCenter Server to operate. (see the link I provide in your other thread)
  • DRS will not work. Moving the virtual machine between hosts is a vCenter server function.
  • FT will continue to work for the configured virtual machines. However, failover, no new secondary will be created.

• vCenter Server Database - what's really in it?

  Hi all

  I was looking at a possible a 2.5 VirtualCentre 2003 R2 upgrade to a new version 2008 R2 / vCentre 4.0 server.

  I read in the upgrade guide that seems simple enough, but it made me think. What is actually represented in the vCenter database - as in, if I had to establish new ones without upgrading and simply type hosts into the new vCenter Server, what I actually would lose?

  Enjoy that probably said more about my lack of experience with this kind of thing but he had me wondering - the only thing I can think is a historic performance and alerts data? Server vCentre is obviously not necessary for the functioning of a group and DRS / HA configuration on the host (IDE) are pools of resources.

  Just curious really - is it useful the hassle of the upgrade, or should I better just to drop the existing server and starting from scratch?

  Thank you

  Chris

  Welcome to the community,

  you already mentioned the cluster configuration and historical performance data. Some of the things you need to rebuild with a new installation - according to your needs - are data centers. Clusters, Pools of resources, folders, roles, and Permissions, alarms... In the case where you have templates, you will need to re - register manually inventory,

• Upgrade to Vcenter 4.0 to Vcenter 4.1: what settings are migrated

  Hello

  I want to know what parameters are transferred on a migration of Vcenter 4.0 to Vcenter 4.1 qith a package database.

  In Vsphere upgrade guide:

  The VirtualCenter or vCenter include settings that you can migrate with the server configuration tool:

  LDAP data n

  n Port settings for ports HTTP, HTTPS, heartbeat, Web services, LDAP and SSL LDAP

  n certificates stored in the SSL folder

  Licence No.

  n database for a base SQL Server Express delivered only

  So are the resource pools, guests, alarms, etc. supposed to be tranfered to the new Vcenter?

  Yes, all these settings should remain intact.

  If you have found this helpful at all prices please points using the correct or useful!  Thank you!

• Emergency aid - Vcenter Server down - cannot access the ESX host

  Hello

  Use two ESXi hosts and a Vcentre Server (virtual)

  When I added the hosts in the center of Virtual Server, I chose the option of locking down (I forgot the actual box, I chose) but he said something like on the virtual circuit can manage hosts?

  In any case the VC went offline, do not know why and I can't access the ESXi hosts using the VI client using the root username-password. I get the followign error:

  "You are not allowed to log on the server: server name.

  Yes, you need to disable the lock mode on ESXi - go to the console and in options, select turn off lockdown mode.

• What features are supported on the OS 4.0 browser?

  I'm just starting development of web pages on the Blackberry platform. Our target more common denominator is OS 4.0.0.160. Can someone point me to a resource documenting the features of the browser of this platform? Supported version support, CSS, DOM scripting/AJAX JS, etc.. I did a search and no success for it.

  Thank you!

  Thanks in advance!

  The only thing I know that does not work in the trial is H.265 editing and export.  Everything should work fine.

• vSphere replication when vCenter is down / crashed

  I turn to convert our environment of re-usable in a VMware HA cluster, with MRS with vSphere replication Dr.

  I want to know what will happen with the vSphere replication in either of the following scenarios

  1. A: vCenter Server running, Site B: vCenter Server of the site down
  2. A: vCenter Server down, Site B: vCenter Server of the site down

  I'm not really able to find a clear answer on the web. I hope that replication of vSphere components still work, I don't know if the vCenter really need to work properly after the replication has been implemented.

  vSphere replication is not dependent on vCenter for replication. Is dependent on the vCenter on target for recovery website. So in your examples (assuming that you are replicating b > has):

  1. the replication continues. You can restore a virtual computer needed

  2. the replication continues. You would not be able to recover a virtual machine until vCenter was running.

  If you use SRM, SRM depends on vCenter (on-site running SRM) as well.

  Does make sense?

• 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

• VCenter Server to a new server transfer

  Hello
  I'm doing an update from the 2008 to the 2012r2 server.  I was wondering how to spend my vCenter server.

  We are running the essentials package.

  I thought just build a new server, the connection my hosts in vCenter and then close and delete the old server?
  My thought process is correct, or is there something else I need to do along the way?

  Hello

  The important thing to know with vCenter is the majority of your important information in the SQL database. You're right, install a new instance of vCenter on your new Server R2 of 2012 is the best way to go and make sure that you connect to your existing SQL DB.

  What version of vCenter/ESXi are you running? 5.5? There are a few other things to consider before proceeding, as the backup of your configuration of SSO and service inventory? Do you use things such as tags in the web client? Is your particularly complicated configuration of SSO? If this isn't the case, then you can probably not bother with their backup and restoration.

  If it were me, I'd do the following as a rough plan:

  (1) save the SQL DB to be 100% sure.

  (2) off your old server.

  (3) configure the new server with the old server's IP address. Make the necessary DNS changes.

  (4) 2012 R2 server Setup again.

  (5) for mounting and you are prompted, use an ODBC connection created in your existing SQL DB.

  (6) all the components and installation vCenter.

  (7) test of

  There would be other options to restore SSO / inventory if you want too.

  The plan to uninstall or disable the new server, restore your DB back backup and power on your old server.

  Happy to help you further if necessary!

• vCenter Server referenced in VMview

  Good afternoon

  Our environment VMview is centered around an old installation of ESX 3.5 with vCenter server of v4.0.0.10021. All of our ESX servers are 4.1i base and governed by a completely separate vCenter (v4.1.0.12319) server. My question is I want to gradually remove the old server vCenter, but as much as feared VMview isn't just "VirtualCenter servers" section that I need to change on the most recent vCenter Server? What should I be wary of?

  Kind regards
  Keith

  PS - I'm looking to upgrade ESX 3.5 to 4.1i, if anyone has advice or suggestions for this also which would help greatly - it seems straight forward enough, but 22 years that makes me a cynical beast!

  OK, I guess that the amount of work you need to do will be decided by your installation.   If you use complete desktop computers or clones associated with persistent desktop computers, you will need to go through the user data, http://communities.vmware.com/people/skg/blog/2011/01/01/moving-svi-pool-across-vcenter-server-keeping-user-data-and-ownership.

• With regard to the registration of plugin for web client package in vcenter server

  Hello

  I am able to create the package (.zip file) plugin, using Eclipse plugin virgo and able to deploy and test the same thing with the serenity customer as described in the SDK tutorial.

  To register for my plugin package as an extension with vcneter server, I followed steps below:

  1 using the perl of the vi perl SDK code, and I am able to register the plugin and can see the crowd as well.

  But I am unable to see the plugin in vcenter server. As newspapers are not get generated for web client. (Maintenance records is not created. All the required services are running).

  Please suggest any script I can use to deploy the plugin for the production phase. And also the steps to generate logs.

  Thank you very much.

  I have attached a java program showing how to register a vSphere Client Web plugin with vCenter server. This program is not recommended for use in production because it does not check the certificates.

  Also this program will work if your plugin zip archive is located at the url "http://". If your zip file is at url 'https://', then you must provide the digital fingerprint of the server in the server property of the

  Extension data object. You can do the same way that the property of the customer was populated in the provided code. Here is the link to the Extension object where you can find all of the properties of an object to extend VMware vSphere 5.1

• How do I know if a host server is managed by a vcenter Server?

  I found an ESXi server in my server room, and I can connect with the root username. How will I know if this server is managed by a Vcenter server somewhere when you are connected to the host with vmware customer?

  When you connect with the VMware client, there will be a popup message in the sense of "this host is managed by vCenter, etc etc. I remember not exactly beyond saying that it is hard to miss.
