• vCenter Server upgrade to version 5.0

  Hello

  I would like to know during the upgrade to vCenter Server 5.0 calls a new license key or he use of the existing version license key.

  I have vCenter Server 4.1 installed so Standard 6 hosts ESXi 4.1 installed with vSphere Enterprise Plus licenses each with 2 CPU. I plan to upgrade my environment of virtualization to vCenter Server 5.0 and vSphere Enterprise Plus 5.0, please someone can me brief on conditions of license - can I use the vCenter 4.1 existing licenses vSphere 4.1 upgrade to version 5.0, so I don't want to buy new licenses.

  Hoping to receive information about my queries.

  Kind regards

  Nikhil

  No, not if you have a valid support and subscription.

  You must visit the portal of licenses to upgrade the license (I think).

  I myself did last week and I'm sure that even if I already had a job entirely vCenter 4.1, I was required to enter the new license v5.0 file.

• 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

  KO 2139396

• 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

  Danke fur Tipps

  Alex gruss

  Willkommen im Forum,

  vCenter Server 5.5 updated 1 supported lt. VMware product interoperability matrices alle current ESXi 5.5 - ER versions (and more), d.h. die update-Reihenfolge ist in diesem Fall in beliebig.

  Noch zwei short Anmerkungen:

  • every Update 3 should besser Update 3a zum Einsatz kommen (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2133118)
  • a so auf den vCenter servers sonst noch? I.d.R. ist eine unavailability as vCenter Server Dramatisches nichts. HA works auch ohne vCenter, nur die administration und z.B. vMotion/DRS etc. nicht really werden können.

• When I installed the web client vsphere using vcenter server iso, encounted an error that the vcenter server signon administrateu use name and password is invalid

  VCenter server is version 5.1 and this server is a member of the working group.

  It comes to my administrator:

  

  So, I used ISO server vcenter and installed web client pulg-in vsphere, it prompted:

  I've used many ways, but failed.

  usernme:admin@system-domain,

  so, I do not know how to solve, and I only know this administrator password.

  I'm not vCenter sign the only to have another admin, please help.

  

  and another question: how install and configure the data via the vsphere 5.1 customer protection, vsphere isn't vsphere web client.

  You must provide credentials for the user admin@system-domain.

• 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.

  at ch.dunes.util.EncryptHelper.newDecrypt(EncryptHelper.java:61)

  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 '.

  2014-05-12 12:11:14.251 - 0400 [WorkflowExecutorPool-thread-1] WARN {[email protected]: Configure Active Directory server: 8a6abc61-9f1e-4b75-84e3-5f7ed902af57:1d74889645f12cdf0145f133c1e20009} Script Runtime error [WorkflowItemTaskRunner] on the workflow: Server Configure Active Directory / 'Configuration' (item1) update: ReferenceError: 'ConfigurationManager' is not defined.

  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!
