• vCenter Server update through VUM possible?

  Hello

  the topic is wacky? I can't find anything on how to update the vcenter server from time to time. EU update 4.0 to 4.0u1 with complete removal and manually and reinstall... There was a patch 4.0 that I had to apply manually, too.

  So I was wondering

  Greetings

  You do not find something because it is not possible. VUM is only available via vCenter and if you are... this system patch and you get the point. To upgrade your hosts, you can use Crossover or a guest VM, but your upgrade vCenter, you will need to take the service offline and then perform an upgrade. Don't forget to have your dba the prior VCDB backup upgrade

• Service component of VMware Manager fails to start in vCenter Server 6 Update 2

  Hello

  A brief idea of my test environment:

  VCenter servers:

  VC1 - recorded at the psc1 in Site1

  VC2 - recorded at psc2 in Site2

  External Services platform controllers:

  psc1 - Site1

  PSC2 - Site2

  SSO domain: vsphere.local

  I upgraded from vCenter Server 5.5 update 3d to vCenter Server 6.0 Update 2. VCenter 5.5 servers had integrated / embedded of SSO and all services running on the same machine and were in modes related before the upgrade and I have them removed modes related before the upgrade. They have been upgraded to vCenter Server 6.0 with Embedded PSC and they entered automatically improved Linked Mode (ELM).

  After the previous step, I deployed the PSC external psc1 respectively 2 and psc2 mode of replication with vc1 and vc2 in the same site Site1 and Site2. I migrated then boarded two PSC vCenter servers to their respective partners external PSC of replication by running the command cmsso-util reconfigure - repoint-PSC "psc1/psc2" - administrator user name - domain name "vsphere.local" - passwd "Hasło_Administratora." This operation ended successfully and my vCenter have been reconfigured as vCenter Server with external CFP.

  After that, I followed article KB VMware 2127057 (agreements ofdetermination of replication and the State with the service controller 6.0 platform (2127057) |) The VMware KB) do psc1 and psc2 external replication of the PSC 2 partners either by running the command vdcrepadmin-f createagreement-2--h psc2.clifford.local h psc1.clifford.local u Administrator w 'Hasło_Administratora '. I ran this command psc2. Also, this operation succeeded, and when I ask the State of replication of the psc1 of replication partners and psc2, there is nothing wrong. However, after restarting my vSphere Infrastructure, I see that vc1, psc1 and psc2 have all their services started successfully.

  VC2 services seem to be failing, especially the service component manager of VMware which is required for many other services start. The VMware HTTP Reverse Proxy service starts properly and I have no IIS role / feature installed on my machine. The error message that occurs when you try to manually start the service is also attached as a file Error2.JPG in the discussion. The Windows event log error is as deeply as the file Error3.JPG in the discussion.

  Please let me know how to solve this problem as soon as possible.

  Well, I found a solution myself.

  In fact, after I created the external PSC 2 psc1 and psc2 partners of replication of the vc1 and vc2 in Site1 and Site2 respectively, I had to immediately follow section KB VMware 2127057 in order to create a replication agreement between the 2 external to the PSC psc1 and before psc2 I reconfigured and show the vCenter servers vc1 and vc2 of on-Board of the PSC outside the PSC following the VMware Documentation (Center of) VSphere documentation 6.0).

  That's all.

  Thanks to all for looking into it.

• VCenter Server 5.5 update question

  I would like to install my vCenter Server Vsphere Update Manager. I have the Enterprise more of ESXi installed version. I am able to start installing Update Manager installation with worries about licenses or do I have to update my authorization to install the Update Manager? I looked online but I could not find any info on this subject.

  Thanks in advance.

  Manager update comes with the ISO of the vCenter Server. The only thing to make sure is that you must have compatible versions of the vCenter and the Update Manager. That is to say, you can install Update Manager with vCenter Server 5.5 5.5 only.

  And Yes, it takes a 32-bit DSN to connect to the database.

• 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

  • Resolved issues. This version of vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 b solves the problems that have been documented in the resolved issues section.

  Yes, you can go directly to the version 5.5 Update 2 on the same path that you go to version 5.1 update 3... Simply run the installer and the old version will be detected and the installer will offer you the upgrade.

• If the patch management can be done by VMware Update Manager in vCenter Server Appliance as similar vCenter Server

  Hi friends,

  If patches of the host management can be done through Vmware Update manager vCenter Server Appliance as in vCenter Server.

  Tell me other differences between them...

  Kind regards

  Sirot Vijay

  1. Yes we can connect to the device using the vSphere client.

  2. in the installation of the update manager VCenter information will ask and he will automatically fit no special measures required.

  3. no conflict. Its just like you have two vCenter servers, but you can not have two server vCenter managing the same hosts.

• 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?

  Concerning

  
  Ciaran

  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

• How update you the server vCenter Server?

  I have a virtual machine in my vSphere environment running Windows Server 2008 R2 that has update manager installed on it and my vCenter Server installation.  After scanning it with the Update Manager, it showed it needed to upgrade VMware tools to match the host and also to modernize hardware virtual machine to correspond also to the host.  I've improved the tools successfully, but when I tried to restore the VM for the hardware, I got the following error message:

  "VM [VM name] has vSphere VMware Update Manager or VMware vCenter Server is installed.  This virtual machine will be ignored for the scan and sanitation. »

  So, how can I get around this because I use this machine virtual also patch/update the other hosts/VMs and this is my installation vCenter?

  Yes, it must be turned off. So your only option in this case is to connect to the host, Vcenter, and then right click to upgrade.  Unfortunately, this is your only option

• VCenter Server 5.1 SSL certificate update - error

  Hi all

  We set up a new Windows 2008 R2 server as a vCenter Server 5.1

  Now, I try to install the new certificates for all parts of vCenter (server, inventory, web client service,...) with the Windows certification authority.

  I'm stuck at the update server certificate SSL vCenter with the 'Certificate SSL Automation Tool'.

  This is part 5. in this guide (5. the cmd screen shot):

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2041600 #updatestepsplanner

  All credentials are correct, but I still get the same error (vc-update - ssl.log):

  [26.04.2013 - 10:42:54, 99]: copy the new certificates and keys 'C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\SSL. '... »

  So I tried the manual way, as it is mentioned in this guide:
  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & externalId = 2035005

  I'm stuck here too, get a 'result of Method Invocation: vpx.fault.SecurityConfigFault ' after ""Invoke method ': "

  1. Go to https://localhost/mob/?moid=vpxd-securitymanager & vmodl = 1 on the server vCenter Server and load the certificates for the configuration using the managed object browser.
  2. Click continue if you are prompted with a warning on this certificate.
  3. Enter a vCenter Server administrator user name and password when prompted.
  4. Click reloadSslCertificate.
  5. Click the calling method. If successful, the window displays this message: result of Invocation of method: Sub.

  
  

  I tried to fix this, but there is not really a solution for this:

  http://communities.VMware.com/thread/429035

  so, I need help with this question

  SOLVED!

  Steps to follow:

  1. stop the vCenter service

  2. search for your ID in LS_ServiceID.prop in the folder C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter

  3. copy this ID (e.g. {C4672589-9258-42B1-90E2-1EF268BBD402}: 5 )

  4. change your vpxd.cfg in the same folder and replace

  vCenterService

  with

  your ID

  5. start vCenter Service

  Then, the SSL automation tool works!

  You need to undo changes.
