• vCenter Server Linked Mode Configuration

  Buenos dias a todos,

  UNA pregunta: Se you can use/configurar el complement "vCenter Server Linked Mode Configuration" between various VC (verse 5) en Dominios different y SIN relaciones confianza?

  Hi all
  A question: you can use / set up the "vCenter Server Linked Mode Configuration" card from several VC (verse 5) in different domains WITHOUT trust relationships?

  Official documentation:

  Instances of server vCenter in a group of related modes can be in different areas, if the domains have a two-way trust relationship. Each area must approve other areas on which the server vCenter instances are installed.

• Server vCenter in Linked mode

  A vCenter Server 4.1 and a configurable Server 4.0 vCenter linked mode?

  Thank you

  Yes, a configuration that is fully taken care of.

• vCenter Server Standard mode with multiple vCenter Essentials?

  The company that I work began to expand in other countries and with that comes from the need to manage servers across data centers. Most locations have only 1 or 2 servers and not shared storage, but HQ has 3 servers on each of 2 data centers. DR site has a storage server acting as a target iSCSI (FreeNAS trial) HP.

  If I wear Essentials on these separate locations now, can I later (when the budget releases) buy a Standard license for vCenter Server and then link them?

  Or the Essentials version won't work in bound Mode?

  No, you must have vCenter Standard for work-related modes

• vCenter server 4.1 install not on Windows Server 2008 R2

  I just downloaded vCenter server 4.1 and tried to install it on my windows 2008 R2 (64-bit) server, and the installation program always gave me this error:

  Description: Product: VMware vCenter Server - this product cannot be installed on operating systems for 64-bit at the following address:
  Windows XP SP2 or higher
  Windows Server 2003
  Windows Server 2008.

  After I clicked ok, then the installation process just stopped.  I scoured online for a few hours, but couldn't find an answer.

  Hello and welcome to the forums.

  This server is also a domain controller?  Installation on a domain controller is not supported and will not work.

  Good luck!

• How to clean an installation Vcenter 5.5 missed a second server vCenter linked mode

  Hello

  First of all, my situation:

  I managed to install the following services on a single box:

  vCenter Single Sign-On (Vcenter Single Sign-on to your first server vCenter Server)

  vSphere Web Client

  vCenter Inventory Service

  vCenter Server

  The first properly installed vCenter (SRMVC.test.local).

  I then ran the installation on the second vCenter server (SRMVCDR.test.local)

  vCenter Single Sign-On (vCenter Single Sign-on for an additional vCenter server with a new site)

  vSphere Web Client

  vCenter Inventory Service

  vCenter Server (linked modes) * impossible *.

  I came across a mistake by joining the vCenter linked mode.  I then tried to force who do not have, and installation cancelled.   I think I am facing this problem described in this KB:

  Connecting two servers vCenter fails with the error: error 28039.Setup cannot join vCenter Server group related modes (1026087)

  http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2006850

  Now, I see a series of problems with the virtual machine that may be the root cause.  When I open the Server Manager there is an error when I try to view the roles or features.   The error I see is:

  Unexpected error refreshing Server Manager: element not found (except for HRESULT:0 x 80070490)

  To make a long story short:

  I don't really want to solve the problem on the virtual machine.  I think there could be a problem with the template I've deployed this virtual machine from and I would just blow it way and the redeployment of a new model. The problem is that, in the previous installs, I had trouble to reinstall a second vCenter after a failure to install because different services have already been registered with the first SSO server.

  My question:

  How to completely clean all the necessary components on the first server vCenter after a failed install a second server vCenter mode related?  I think that the second server is not only with its own UNIQUE authentication server, but also with the first server in the SSO site located on SRMVC.test.local.  I want to blow any trace of it so that the environment is pristine and so that I can use the same name of the second vcenter (VCSRMDR.test.local) when I reinstall.

  If the second vcenter also has its own SSO installed on the same machine and the second SSO has been installed in multisite mode (should be Yes, because the main goal is to related modes), you need a clean to the top of the first SSO vmdrd.

  VMware support specific utility to get this done, please file a case for support.

  Installing vCenter isn't going to be a problem, each installation has a user ID application created with the date of installation, this ID and certificate (which should be unique for a new installation, disable ssl programdata folders if re - install) are used to record vcenter to OSP.

  So the old entries will not be a problem for the other components.

  ever since the webclient service, you can remove users from the application:

  Log webclient with [email protected] the first web client.

  Under setting up users and groups, under the users Application tab, you can see all the application registered users.

  To identify that one to remove

  for vcenter, check the file C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VirtualCenter Server\ssoregtool\vssso.properties.

  Once you know the job vcenter ID, you can delete the ID of the other.

  Ditto for the inventory service, the inventory service ID can be found in C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Inventory Service\conf\sso.ini

  For webclient files is C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphereWebClient\SsoRegTool\sso_conf\solution.ini

  vCenter and webclient has a user record solution with sso, which must be removed from the command line. This is the KB for this: 2033238

  again, you can use the above mentioned files to identify the one to delete.

• Remove the server vCenter Server in the cluster

  I wanted to move my server vCenter to another machine.  When I installed on machine 2, he asked if it was a stand alone or make part of a cluster (? not sure if he said cluster but that's essentially).  I chose the cluster.  I moved my machines from the old server to the new server and then uninstalled the old server vCenter.  Now, when I open the vi for the new vCenter Server client, it tells me that the old server cannot be contacted.

  How can I get the old server to stop bothering me?

  Thank you!

  Is there a way to break the related modes, or do I need to uninstall and reinstall my vCenter Server?

  Use "vCenter Server Linked Mode Configuration".

  See the start menu, in case of VMware.

• Replication between Vcenter linked mode extended

  KIM I am messing with vcenter enhanced link mode. So I have two vcenters shares a PSC external and they are in enhanced binding mode.

  Hello

  For the problematic device of VR, you can check the contents of the /opt/vmware/etc/vami/ovfEnv.xml file?

  Normally it is property of deployment_scenario is this file and it is what determines how the device should behave - like handset (embedded DB + server VRMS + VR) or VR-server only.

  If the file ovfEnv.xml is empty, please check that the device has been deployed and powered through vCenter. If the device is powered through ESXi, the environment of the FVO will be empty and VRMS will not work. It is covered in the section of the admin guide.

  If the ovfEnv.xml is not empty, maybe you should file an SR and have the VMware support team assist.

  Kind regards

• VMware vCenter Server Appliance 5.1 is not Autostart cluster

  Problem:

  After a VMware vCenter Server Appliance failure does not start automatecly.

  I have configured to start automatecly to each host, but it does not start automatecly.

  My configuration:

  Shared infrastructure-plate-forme PowerEdge VRTX with 3 servers running

  -3 x VMware ESXi 5.1.0 (799733)

  -1 x VMware vCenter Server Appliance 5.1

  -Servers run as a cluster with HA.

  Unfortunately Autostart VM is not supported in a Cluster, and so the settings are ignored. VM in clusters must be turned on manually (or using a script,...).

• vCenter Server does not send data to vCenter Log Insight

  I second vCenter server in another site, in Insight Log connection tests but I don't see any data from it...

  ESXi hosts connected to this server vcenter report their data after you run the command configure esxi on the tank.

  Where I can watch on the vCenter box that does not ensure that its installation correctly to send the data?

  Log Insight does not change to vCenter server so there is not place to search the vCenter Server (API calls only - you could try to look at events for the instance of vCenter Server view connection / disconnection of the events in log Insight). Usually when the vCenter Server events, tasks and alarms are not observed it stresses a connection permissions problem. The user specified for vCenter Server integration - must read-only permissions that are set on the object level superior vCenter Server and have you selected the checkbox to enable the authorization to broadcast across all objects? If so, can you generate a beam of support-> page Health Administration and transfer it by the directions here: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1008525 (not necessary for a SR, simply create a file called chasehansen)

• disclosure of the API with vcenter linked mode

  The API on a vcenter arrive on an another vcenter linked entities? In the linked vcenter inventory seems to appear anywhere in the CROWD.

  The linked vcenter can be managed in the vcenter gui, but it's just mistletoe knowing to send requests to the api for the other vcenter? The API knows something about the related modes?

  No, he can't manage them. In implementing related patterns as I understand it, it provides you with just the connections for the two vCenter. Linked Mode also uses ADAM to replicate permissions between linked VC, but you must always send API calls appropriate for the appropriate vCenter if you want to perform a specific operation on a given entity. It isn't really a "Federated", but just vCenter allowing multiple connections in a single view or a pane of glass.

• -= Decommissioning of a license key on ESXi host in order to import in vCenter Server Essentials 6 =-

  Our company recently bought a license for VMware vCenter Server 6 Essentials for vSphere (VCS6-ESSL-C) with license keys for VMware vSphere Essentials 6 for 1 processor (ha6-ESSL-C).

  I accumulated vCenter Server 6 on a physical device and assigned the new relevant license key, as well as installed Update Manager Server on this machine. This instance seems to be functional and functional.

  Now, I'm trying to import 3 x ESXi hosts in this environment which have the license keys from an environment "vSphere advanced 5. These 3 hosts are administered under an instance of VM of vSphere vCentre, that I want to the Commission under this license and the license on these hosts is no longer valid after a takeover of the company.

  Question:

  (A) Comment can I get correctly to the setting of these hosts so that I can use the new vSphere license key 6 that I received?

  (B) should I upgrade these hosts to v6 ESXi befin environment to use this new license key?

  (C) do I need to disable features on the hosts in order to apply to apply this license key "6 of vSphere Essentials?

  (D) what is the correct order for doing all these things to use this new environment vCentre?

  Thanks in advance for any assistance given.

  Concerning

  Grant

  I havn't done it myself yet, but I think you should be able to achieve your goal, follow these steps:

  -downgrade license keys CPU Essentials to v5 im Portal MyVMware

  -the value of the new vCenter Server Evaluation Mode (actually maybe not necessary)

  -Add the licenses of Essentials v5 license vCenter inventory 6

  -Add hosts to the new vCenter Server ESXi 5.5 and assign licenses Essentials guests

  -re - assign the license previously removed to vCenter Server

• Migration path from 32-bit vCenter Server 4.0 to 64 - bit vCenter Server 4.1?

  I'm having a hard time coming up with a migration path that will get me to my existing vCenter Server 4.0 (Windows 2003 32-bit), to vCenter Server 4.1, what I understand is 64-bit only.

  My current vCenter runs in a guest on a 64-bit hardware, so from a point of view of "hardware", I have no problem.   But I can't get Windows 2003 32 - but to 2008 R2 64 bit in place.  I could build a new server, but I am at a loss on how to migrate from my old server vCenter function to the new.  Several instructions simply said to import and export the sql database - which I am not convinced that I can do without explicit instruction (no mssql expers here).

  I hope that there is a simpler way.  Maybe if I could set up a new 64-bit server, bind them, leave it to move data across and decomission one 32-bit?  (I don't know if the vCenter Server linking works this way).

  Any suggestions, or paths of existing documented migration that could help me?  I'm a little confused as to how to address the issue.

  Thank you

  -Ken

  The important question is where you vCenter data stored? Using SQL Express, a local SQL Server or a remote SQL Server? All information related to your vCenter environment is stored in the database - so if you build a new vCenter server all you need to do is the Connector ODBC to point to the existing database and when you install vCenter 4.1 the data base will be get upgraded.

  See section 5 of this document http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_upgrade_guide.pdf

• Displacement of vCenter Server to new hardware and start from scratch

  Hi all

  I want to configure a new server vCenter Server on new hardware and start from scratch instead of migrating from the old installation.

  Threre are currently only 5 ESXi hosts connected to this server vCenter Server, so it would not so much be working to the reconfiguration of the new facility.

  I wonder if there are other things that I have to take care of? How about iSCSI, network settings and so on?

  Thanks in advance,

  Andreas

  It is no big problem with a new server vCenter Server. Just follow the step to a new clean install.

  Existing hosts will be simple automatically deleted when you add to the existing VC they to the new cluster.

  Please keep in mind that the DNS entry are correct.

  If you have a HA, so I suggest to disable in the old cluster (it will be configured in a way to the new).

  If you have CVS you add hosts when are in maintenance mode.

• I can't activate the Server execution mode

  I'm 10.11.3 on a mac pro with the version of the app 5.0.15 server OS. I tried to activate the performance with the success mode. I started on the recovery partition to disable the integrity of the system, but still an error message when you try to activate performance mode in the terminal:

  RP-server: ~ Server$ serverinfo - material

  This system is currently running on the server hardware.

  RP-server: ~ Server$ serverinfo - setperfmode TRUE

  ERROR: Server execution Mode could not be changed.

  RP-server: ~ $ Server

  Any idea is appreciated

  Once you have a full backup of the system or another archiving mechanism allowing you to return to your software, try:

  sudo serverinfo - setperfmode TRUE
