• vSphere Client reports an incorrect version of vCenter Virtual Appliance

  vSphere Client 5.5 reports incorrect version of vCenter 5.5 Virtual Appliance. For example, vCVA build is 1891314, but in vSphere Client 5.5 GUI shows like 1891313 or vCVA build is 2170515 (last U2a), but in vSphere Client 5.5 GUI shows as 2001466

  I've updated the client to the latest version 1993072, but it made no difference.

  Any suggestions are appreciated.

  Thank you

• Regarding the hosts took max supported on Vcenter Virtual Appliance 5.0

  http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vsphere5/R50/vSphere-50-configuration-maximums.PDF

  Maximum config guide indicates that vsphere 5.0 supports the hosts of 1000 per VC. The same applies to the virtual appliance thus (on an external Oracle DB... not the one internal)

  Concerning

  Girish

  The same should apply to the device when you use an external database. But with several guests it would be wise to take the same settings with the Windows version of vCenter, which means increase the memory of tomcat and adding vCPUs additional and resources of the virtual machine RAM.

• vCenter virtual appliance Installation on shared storage

  Hello

  I'll start testing virtualization soon, and for storage, I'll use a Synology NAS DS212j. My goal is to create a cluster with two servers ESXi, with the virtual machines stored on the NAS.

  My question is should I plug my nas iSCSI on my ESXi and then deploy the model to the OVA of the appliance virtual vcenter or deploy the eggs on the physical storage of one of my ESXi and then I try it moved to the shared storage?

  I'm not sure if my question is simple, but thank you for your answer!

  C. N.

  Happy, I can help you

  You must configure the iSCSI conifguration for each host, Yes.

  But the second and all other guests later then analyze the map iSCSI and see the VMFS data store that you created with the first host and set up automatically.

  You don't need to add each host in the cluster even if. You only do that when you want to use functions such as HA and DRS on the hosts within the cluster.

• vCenter Virtual Appliance - Autodeploy Service Autostart

  Hello

  I would like to that the Autodeploy vmWare service starts automatically when the VCSA Boote

  I see a few services with chkconfig

  VMware-inventoryservice off
  VMware-netdumper on
  VMware-rbd-watchdog off
  VMware-sps off
  VMware-tools on
  VMware-vpxd on
  vSphere client on

  but nothing explicitly referring to autodeploy

  what one do I need to turn to get autodeploy to launch at startup?

  Thank you

  VMware-rbd-watchdog is the deployment Service automatic (RBD means rule of a deployment) and that it is automatically the auto-start value, you just need to use the command chkconfig for service.

  Run the following command and this will ensure that the service start automatically on startup

  vmware-rbd-watchdog on chkconfig

• vCenter 5.5 Virtual Appliance and SSL certificates

  I currently have vCenter 5.5 under Windows 2008 R2.  I've been thinking to replace my Windows with the appliance vCenter vCenter virtual.

  I have read the documentation on the SSL certificates for vCenter.  I bought a RapidSSL SSL certificate on my current server vCenter.  It seems that everything is working correctly, but the documentation I read says I need a different cert for various services such as inventory, Journal browser and AutoDeploy Service.

  VCenter requires there really that many different certificates?

  Yes, each component of vCenter server requires unique SSL certificate:

• Nexus 1010 Services Virtual Appliance and VN-link hardware

  All,

  We deploy the Nexus 1010 Virtual Appliance service in order to use the analysis network (NAM) Module.  The 1010 necessary hosted of the MSM to deploy the 1000v switch into ESX.  We would also use VN-Link in the material by which we "get around" the virtual switch and use the 6120's for switching.  What I need to know, it's possible the 1010 always to analyze network traffic using hardware VN-link?  Hardware VN-link does not seem to need a VSM, so I think that the 1010 cannot monitor traffic because there is no "attach" to 1000v.  Anyone can shed some light on this?

  Kind regards

  Ken

  Ken

  The NAM module present in the 1010 is not exclusive for Nexus1000v traffic.

  Its there as part of a device which is be the VSM (1000v) and is set on its own.

  If you look at the Nexus1000v, the VSM (which is the 1010 and holds the NAM in this case) is * not * part of the VM data path.

  He's wanted for initial virtual port instantiations (veth) but after that the traffic does not go through it.

  So to send data traffic VM to the NAM module for analysis, another mechanism (such as ERSPAN) is used to route the data traffic of the VM is to her.

  The Nexus 1000v support ERSPAN.

  Same logic applies you have a NAM module-the 1000v can send traffic to it through ERSPAN.

  Looking to VN-link in hardware - there a MSM which is the INSTITUTION itself.

  In this case, the veth is on FI.

  If the FI did support ERSPAN (which is not currently), you can use the same NAM module or any other module of NAM for sending traffic to it.

  If this isn't a limitation of VN-link in hw methodology vs 1000v switching switching, but the fact that the FI does not yet support a mechanism of 'export '.

  I hope it helps

  Thank you

• Customization of the comments for the virtual machines deployed from model has stopped working

  Hi all

  (Environment: vCenter and ESXi 10 5.1 hosts running Build #3070626)

  We have a model 2012R2 and a file specification of customization that allows us to deploy the VMs 2012R2 server. It worked well for a while. After the Christmas break, it seems more work correctly and we havn't knowingly changed anything to cause this. We have fixed our ESXi hosts Build #3070626 October 6, but have deployed VMs of model since, without problem.

  We have all staged for the VM in advance (IE AD entry of objects and DNS). And then powered the deployed virtual computer, sysprep runs, but does not seem to apply settings in the customization file (IE rename the virtual computer, set the Admin password, join the domain etc.). If feed us the cycle of the VM, sysprep is running again, but even once, does nothing.

  I have attached the contents of my file guestcust.log of a computer deployed virtual (see below), but I do not see the clues about the problem. I thought initially the error on the first line was important, until I've found it is also present on the virtual machines that have been successfully deployed from this template in the past, so it's maybe a Kipper.

  Does anyone have advice for troubleshooting this?

  TIA

  Mark

• password for vSphere virtual Appliance 6.0?

  Hello

  I want to install vSphere 6.0 and I would use the appliance virtual vSphere.

  I have deployed ""VCHG_Appliance_SLES11 - 6.0.0.0 - 2564774_OVF10.ova ' in a segment of a network that has no DHCP "

  (During the deployment of the EGGS, I'm not prompted to create a password)

  When starting the machine, he gets no (no DHCP) IP address and he invites me to connect manually configure the network

  PROBLEM: what is the default password for the appliance 6.0.

  I tried the following:

  -user name: root, admin, administrator, vmware
  -pw: the default admin

  tips are greatly appreciated,

  Chris
  

  

  You have deployed the wrong package, since VCHG is not the vCenter Server Appliance, but the evolution of the management of Multi-hypervisor (MHM). To deploy vCSA, you must download the following package: VMware-VCSA-all - 6.0.0 - 2656757.iso

• 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.

• VMWare vCenter Server Appliance / 2012R2 Windows domain

  Hi all
  I've recently updated my domaincontrollers to R2 2012 WIndows, and I installed vCenter on a vm through the ovf appliance. After you have configured the vCenter in the web gui, I can join the domain successfully and the virtual center appears in the field. After a restart of the virtualcenter, I'm not able to find the field in the client to vcenter under permissions. (version vCenter: VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-5.5.0.5101-1398493)

  Someone at - it a tip on how to fix this?

  You must login to webclient using [email protected] and navigate to the SSO configuration. Select your ad that you added and make this default domain. This makes the announcement should appear in the menu drop-down.

• Download link for vCenter Server Appliance (Linux)

  Hello

  I have the following situation: we bought VMware this week for our internal servers and want to administer the virtual machines with Linux (and only with Linux).

  I downloaded VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-5.1.0.10000-1065184_OVF10.ova and imported this virtual machine. I can now administer all our virtual machines within a browser running on a linux client.

  This virtual machine is running SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 (64-bit) and I would like to download these packages install to put in place a dedicated linux server (vShpere Web Client Version 5.1.0 build 1063329, customer-integrations-Plug-Ins: VMRC Version 5.1.0 Build 1060398 and Support Client Version 5.1.0 Build 832030)

  I downloaded tons of ISOs and OVF from VMware today but found nothing to install on a Linux server dedicated (except these tools of comments).

  Can we put a link or give me a clue where to download or in what ISO is?

  And another question is: is it possible to install

  Thank you

  Bernd

  The Linux version of vCenter Server is only available as a Virtual Appliance that you downloaded and not as a separate package such as the version of Windows.
