• VCenter Server replacement

  I have two servers to ESX 4.0 running without connection to a server vCenter Server and nobody here knows anything about what happens, they use Vshpere Client to log into the ESX host individually to manage their vm I loaded vshpere Server on a member server down. I try to add the ESX host and received this message:

  The host is already managed by IP address: x.x.x.x only the vcenter server can manage this host. If you manage to add the vCenter server host, the host will lose its connection to its original vCenter server. Are you sure you want to continue?

  I have not had a chance looking for this and I don't know what will happen to the current host, if I leave.

  -Will be the closure of the ESX host?

  -J' I lose functionality?

  -Is their a better way practical to add the ESX host to the new server vShpere?

  Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

  Welcome to the community - at some point this host was managed by a vCenter server - and very well may still be.  Have you tried ping this IP address? Did you try the score vSphere client to the IP address and see if you can connect to this server vCenter? -of what this looks like is that the host can be managed by a vCenter server - if it is not no problem adding the host of your existing environment.

  you will not be arrested the ESXi host.

  You shouldn't lose perfect as long this license does not charly-

• vCenter Server Virtual Appliance Evaluation...

  Dear Sirs,

  Use a free v5.0 VMware vSphere, ESXi, also an another ESXi hypervisor in test environment free hypervisor v4.1.

  1. can I use vCSVA to manage both during the evaluation period.

  2. after the evaluation of the vCSVA what will happen?, can I continue to manage the hypervisor individually using vSphere Client... ?

  Kindly help, even if it is the test environment, but also of significance since the virtual machines on these servers are used as staging environment before deploying/change production application servers.

  Thank you

  concerning

  Nirvana (VCP5-VTC #147165)

  In some versions, it was possible to add hosts with a free license of hypervisor of a vCenter Server in evaluation mode. However, IMO, it was probably more a bug than a feature. If your two hosts are still in the trial period (60 days) you can restore their assessment (delete the assignment the selection of evaluation and license). If this isn't the case, you can contact your VMware reseller or a VMware representative and ask them trial licenses.

  After having completed the assessment, removed the vCenter Server hosts and disabled all of the advanced features that are not part of the free version, you should be able to reassign the license.

  Unfortunately, this discovery of program the disc named 'disk2' with 20 GB, but it connect "no usable disk volume.

  I did not understand why he do it because/dev/vbd of partition used the ext4 FS.

  Can someone help me solve this problem

  Hello Matthydras

  Converter is expected to be created on disk partitions (for example, volumes / dev/vbd1), not directly on the drive devices.

• VCenter Server first to 5.5.0U3b update and later update of VMware ESXi ESX / will I have problems?

  Hello

  have trouble when I first updated my signature single vCenter Server and later update my vSphere hosts?

  A vCenter Server Version 5.5.0U3b should be able to manage vSphere Host Version 5.5.0 GA, right?

  Kind regards

  Roland

  The vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 b can manage VMware ESXi ESX release GA to 5.5 5.5 update 3 b, take a look: VMware product interoperability Matrices

  BUT, according to the interoperability matrices and vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 release notes, VMware strongly recommends you upgrade your hosts to 5.5 update 3 b, see:

  What's new

  • Update Support for the SSLv3 Protocol is disabled by default
    Note: In your vSphere environment, you must update vCenter Server vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 b before the update to 5.5 ESXi ESXi update 3 b. vCenter Server will not be able to manage 3B ESXi 5.5 update, if you update ESXi before update vCenter Server to version 5.5 update 3 b. For more information about the sequence in which vSphere environments must be updated, see KB 2057795.

  • VMware strongly recommends you update ESXi hosts to ESXi 5.5 update 3 b management of vCenter Server 5.5 updated 3B.

  VMware does not recommend the reactivation of SSLv3 because of the vulnerability of POODLE. If all you must enable SSLv3, you must activate the SSLv3 Protocol for all components. For more information, see

• The upgrade of our guests 5.0 ESXi and vCenter Server 5 and 5.5 Enterprise Plus

  We are the 4 upgrade hosts of ESXi 5 to 5.5

  We add 4 more guests with own ESXi 5.5 installed

  We are also upgrading our vCS 5 in the vCSA 5.5

  Using Enterprise + licenses

  Question: I'm trying to understand the best way to achieve this transition.  4 guests run about 100 virtual machines and 4 guests we add are clean slates.

  That's what I think... Please help me guys

  1. once the 4 new hosts are installed in the Datacenter clean running ESXi 5.5 I will deploy the vCSA ovf and register 4 guests with the Linux-based device.

  2. now, I have 4 new 5.5 ESXi hosts registered and running with vCSA 5.5 but I still have my old 4 guests with ESXi 5 and registered to the old vCS about 100 virtual machines running WIndows

  3. at this point I think stop on my older hosts 4 virtual machines and remove them from the vCenter Server inventory Windows and everything just their registration with the new vCSA

  4. Will be all my virtual machines or transferred with the hosts if I close them and put the hosts in maintenance mode?

  5. now, I should have all 8 guests registered with my new vCSA.  But the original 4 hosts have yet to be upgraded to ESXi 5.5

  6 move 100 virtual machines to the new 4 hosts running ESXi 5.5 and upgraded the 4 former hosts.

  7. now, I should have 8 guests with ESXi 5.5 using the vCSA

  See you soon!

  Pretty much.

  To make things easier, you can deploy the EGGS for vCSA in your current vCenter (if I remember correctly import an OVA using vCenter allows you to set certain options that should be set to the vCSA shell). After making sure that the vCSA online & configured, you can then install ESXi on all your new hosts, add them to a cluster in the vCSA and put a few trials of virtual machines on there to confirm the network setting is configured correctly. Once it's done (and assuming that the old and the new hosts use the same shared storage) you can stop the vCSA, remove it stock Windows vCS, please write it on one of your new hosts and turn on. You have now two environments (5.0 and 5.5). Next if you disconnect a host from 5.0 vCS (with virtual machines running on it), you can then connect it to the vCSA 5.5. Assuming that the vSwitchs standard networking of the exchanges that are the same name in both environments, you now can vMotion VMs between host 5.0 and 5.5 cluster. At this time, you can repeat with all remaining hosts until everything has been made the transition without service interruption. This will leave a lot of old objects in your old 5.0 vCS, but if that is getting trashed it isn't a big deal.

• The traffic between a host ESXi and vCenter Server is secure?

  vCenter Server Appliance does not start

  I run ESXi 4.1 on a server and more office built a user-friendly machine for ESXi 5

  ESXi 5 start ok, installs and runs a test VM ok.

  But after downloading appliance vCenter server and deployed the ovf, the virtual machine will not start.

  I'm reasonably confident that the deployment was OK, as I've done it before on ESXi 4.1 (but on a server with Xeon processor).

  I've been through settings and advice re longmode, but just can't get the right settings.

  Thanks in advance for any response

  In order to run the 64-bit clients, you need to enable 'VT - x' in the system BIOS. In addition to this I also recommend you activate "Execute Disable Bit" and - if necessary - disable "VT - d" as well as "Trusted Execution". Once done, save the BIOS settings and the power of the system (power power off) cycle. If this does not resolve the problem, thanks for posting the latest vmware.log of the virtual machine.

• vCenter Server and Manager on the same virtual machine and on the same host ESXi update that they manage

  Hi all

  I have a question to which I did not respond.

  I have an ESXi 5 on Proliant DL380 G7 server host. I want to install vCenter Server and Manager Update on one of the Server 2008 R2 VM on the same host. I know it's possible, but my question is how Update manager will provide updates to the same ESXi host it will run on? The update is applied every time host must spend in maintenance mode and power off the virtual computer running on this subject which means he'll kill VM where vCenter Server and Update Manager is running and the update will fail right?

  Is that possible at all or the VCS and UM such as a virtual computer operating point is updated to other guests if you have them or vMotion as VM to another host when you want to update the VCS and UM host is running?

  Thanks in advance.

  It will not work.  You will need at least two hosts.  This way you can vMotion the vCenter VM to another host.  From there, you can use VUM.  Otherwise, you will need to patch the host as a stand-alone host.

  See below for patching a standalone host

• Locking ESXi 4.1 mode access confirmation no access to the vCenter Server

  Hello

  ESXi 4.1.  I see options in conflict with access to a crowd that had lockdown normal mode activated via a server vCenter VM on a host in the cluster.  The vCenter server that sits on one of the hosts in the cluster lockeddown then became inaccessible or unresponsive connectivity wise.  So no connectivity between vCenter VM or VM vCenter and hosts.  Is someone can confirm if you can connect to this host lockedown by DCUI with root and disable lockdown configuration to allow the vSphere client to then connect to the host with root and troubleshoot the server vCenter VM?

  I read in some messages that this is only possible if the vCenter VM is in place and the communication to the host.  I also read that it is possible no matter what the State of the vCenter server once Total lockdown (disabling DCUI) is not enabled.

  I have this reference of the 'The new lock in ESXi 4.1 Mode' blog http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2010/09/the-new-lockdown-mode-in-esxi-41.html

  "With active locking Mode, the only direct access to the host that remains open is through the DCUI. This allows to perform administrative tasks limited outside vCenter Server, such as restarting the management agents and the display of the log files. In addition, you can also disable Mode of Lockdown since the DCUI. This can be useful if vCenter Server is down or unavailable, and you want to return to a direct management of the host. Normally, without locking Mode, any user to the Administrator role can open a session in the DCUI.  However, in lock Mode, the root password is necessary; no other user can connect.

  Can anyone confirm.

  Any other person who may not be sure these questions, I can confirm that with root credentials, you can connect to the host directly and disable the lock mode regardless of the availability of vCenter.  Only if the Total lock mode turned on, or should I say DCUI is disabled, then you have no choice but to go through vCenter or reinstall and reconfigure the network.  VM would be always available if local or have to be reassembled and re inventoried etc.
