• vCenter Server Upgrade version 5.0 to 5.1

  I have 3 vCenter servers (VM) who manage the 3 environments across different sites (Dev/Test/QA, Prod1 and Prod2).

  I intend to first upgrade in Dev/Test/QA environment. My Server, DB & MUV vCenter vCenter server resides on the unique virtual computer.

  1. I need to create separate VMS for vCenter Server Inventory Service & MUV.

  2. in a large environment, I have to separate the Server DB & consolidate all instances here? Best practices please.

  3. create separate SSO VM.

  To do this, how will be my approach? Can I restore my backups of DB and can be used in the new environment?

  Or everything will be totally new configuration?

  It will work. Like other components, you have the choice to use SQL Express or a dedicated DB for the SSO server.

• vCenter server and ESX versions

  Hello friends, can you please answer these questions:

  (1) what additional features we get in vCenter server Essentials

  in comparison with vCenter server Standard?

  (2) is it possible to have some ESX servers upgraded to 4.0

  3.5 in our infrastructure and some left at the same old ESX 3.5 level? Do

  they coexist? If they coexist, managing servers ESX 3.5 and ESX 4.0 with

  the same server vCenter 4.0?

  see you soon

  Yes, but you must have a license for 3.5 systems running server. The vSphere vCenter must be configured to point to this license server. One solution is to install this on the server vSphere vCenter and decomission license server when all the ESX servers running 4.x.

  Another option is to keep the old server licenses running and just the new vCenter for that one pint.

• To another server to Vcenter Server

  I am currently in the process of planning a move / upgrade vCenter server, the current version, we are on East 5.1.0 would you recommend to install the same version as a 'move' and then making a separate upgrade regarding the jump since 5.1.0 to 5.5.0?

  Is the current version of the machine I'm on vCenter Server R2 2012 / SQL 2012, I hope go vcenter server to another machine by keeping the database in place but wanted to know if it would be wise to simply start the installation for 5.5.0 on the new machine and then report it to the previous database, or would it cause problems?

  Hi Zade,

  In some cases, I see that if you install vSphere 5.5, pointing to vCenter old DB 5.1 can be a problem. I recommend you to install vCenter 5.1 on the new machine, make sure that everything is good, then proceed to the upgrade to vCenter server 5.5.

• Update/migration - vCenter Server 5.0 on windows-> vCenter Server Applicance 6.0.0 U2?

  Hello, I'm trying to upgrade vSphere for a customer of 5.0 to 6.0.0 U2. I don't foresee any problems with the upgrade of the host, but I'm having a terrible time to vCenter Server upgraded. SSL problems, inventory Service won't start/db issues, etc. This is a very simple configuration with only two hosts, a DS3524 for the shared storage and a vCenter server running on a windows virtual machine. I am simply considering implementation installation vCenter's existing disposal and replacement with a new device. What, exactly, would I lose, do this? vMotion, HA and DRS is put to the top, but nothing fancy or automated.

  Thanks in advance.

  -arthur

  Because your environment is small, I think that a better option is really build a new vCenter from scratch and then guests are leaving the former vCenter to the new... of course, you will lose all historical data (statistics, task, events) of the old host and you will need to re - create clusters on the new vCenter configurations.

  Here is a KB showing how to move an ESXi to one vCenter to another: VMware KB: move a managed ESX ESXi host to a vCenter Server to a different Server vCenter

• How can upgrade the extensions of vcenter Server version 5.0.0.16964

  I upgraded vCenter Server 4.1 to version 5.0, but a message box has been invited during the process of upgrading to vCenter which is attached with this post. Please help how can install extensions to upgrade version of vCenter server 5.0.0.16964.

  Use the vSphere client (when it is connected to the vCenter Server 5) and check plugins/extensions you installed here: Menu "Plugins / manage plugins.

  You must update the plugin Manager Update to the new version. If everything else is enabled and work so no more away from updates are required.

• VMWare v6.0 to 6U1 or 6U2 Upgrade - external PSC - 1603 errors in vCenter Server

  Hi all

  I was wondering if someone met the upgrade a version 6.0 VMWare install to U1 or U2 upgrade and received a 1603 error.

  The installation runs correctly on the external PSC, but when running against the vCenter Server fails and has a 1603 error and did a restore.

  The VCSServiceManager component installation failed with error code "1603". Check the logs for more details

  I tried all the other threads suggesting to have .net installed 3.5, the ipv4 stack and database permissions but are all there.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  For those who have encountered this problem in the future, was the way I solved this:

  Question has been connected to the VMWare SysLog Collector Service. There is a problem with the new syslogcollection MSI being able to upgrade, uninstall or reinstall on the legacy.

  Best way to solve this problem is to remove the reference to the old service of library of Windows Setup syslog collector. The way I did it was to use the Windows Installer CleanUp legacy.

  Post this, remove installation held as scheduled and transmitted "installation VCSServiceManager.

  If you come across this issue - you can test it by trying to run the msi syslogcollector contained in the directory of files binary vCenter.

• Upgrade to vCenter Server to 5.5u2d (5.5.0 build-2183111)

  Hi guys, I just wanted to check with you somethings, I need to run the below to be in compliance with the last safety:

  Upgrade to VMware vCenter Server 5.5u2d (5.5.0 build-2183111) or later, our current version is 5.5.0 build-1945274.

  
  

  I previously ran updates when you move the vCenter server, but did not have an upgrade on the same server, it is just a matter of downloading the latest version of the software running in custom mode, the upgrade of each of the parties to vCenter and be careful not to overwrite the database?

  
  Thanks in advance

  Yes, just make sure backup your base of data and/or your vCenter VM snapshot and to proceed with the custom installation wizard.

• Upgrade memory of VCenter Server

  Hello

  Can anyone tell how to change the memory in my server vcenter?

  It has already been upgraded to version 10 and the use of the customer is no longer an option.

  Welcome to the community,

  This is probably the main reasons for the warning in the documentation anyway, there are two ways to change the settings of the vCenter Server VM. If you have 10 of VMware Workstation in place, you can connect to the host on which is inscribed the vCenter Server VM and manage settings, another way is to use a PowerCLI script to do this. Last but not least, you can simply change the VM manually .vmx file through the CLI (console or SSH). In this case, remember to reboot the virtual machine after editing the file .vmx (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1026043). In all cases you must stop the server vCenter Server to change the settings. This can be done by connecting directly to the appropriate of ESXi host using the vSphere Client.

• The upgrade to vCenter Server 5.5 U1 beat vCO AD Plugin

  Hey guys,.

  I've recently updated vCenter Server (under Windows) to 5.5 U1, and so vCO has been upgraded to the latest version as well. It seems that the AD plugin has been upgraded to 1.0.4 - 763 and now can not be configured correctly. The vCO newspapers give the following:

  2014-05-12 12:11:14.141 - 0400 [WorkflowExecutorPool-thread-1] ERROR {[email protected]: Configure Active Directory server: 8a6abc61-9f1e-4b75-84e3-5f7ed902af57:1d74889645f12cdf0145f133c1e20009} [MSPluginFactory] condition of credentials are corrupted.

  Furthermore, when I try to set up an advertising server by using the plug-in, I have the following problem, showing me one of the configuration objects is null - 'ConfigurationManager '.

  We do not use LDAPS, LDAP standard, so I don't see why we would receive an exception of encryption, and the 'ConfigurationManager' null configuration object is interesting.

  Is it possible to reset the configuration of the plugin, re-establish a connection, and try again? I prefer not to reinstall this vCO, as we have done a lot of configuration.

  Uninstalling and reinstalling the 1.0.4 plugin does not seem to solve the problem. I should come back 1.0.3 or can it?

  Thanks for all your help.

  Thank you, Christophe, who complained of being 'ConfigurationManager' being missing (according to the first message in this thread). That said...

  Rename/Delete the

  C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Orchestrator\app-server\conf\plugins\AD.xml and

  C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Orchestrator\app-server\server\vmo\conf\plugins\AD.xml

  and re - configure the plugin (1.0.3 in this case) AD, seems to have allowed the AD connection is restored. At that time, we were see errors in the vCO related to plugin configuration of the client (it seems that all the old cruft of 1.0.4 has not been completely cleaned), so I upgraded the plugin from 1.0.3 to 1.0.4.

  I can now browse through the structure of the AD in vCO as expected. A terrifying upgrade, plugin-breaking!

• 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

  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 to upgrade the hardware on a VCenter Server

  In lab environment, two hosts, VCenter server, don't HA, storage etc. running share. I managed to upgrade hosts, using Crossover, but his declaration of errors when attempting to upgrade the hardware of server VCenter comments... I can see that it would be a problem, using VCenter to upgrade equipment on himself, when he needs to reboot the server to install. The question is, how to get around that? I tried to look for solutions, not found anything yet. Hope that makes sense.

  Latest versions of everything, as it is a laboratory under eval licenses. Thank you

  You must turn off the VM, connection to the ESXi host through vSphere client vCenter and right-click on the VM vCenter > virtual hardware upgrade.

  Make sure that you run VMware tools before do you.
