• 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 - deploy servers through templates

  I have installed ESXi5 and I deployed the vCenter via the OVF. This forum works without any problem. However, I would like to clone a templete for future creations of VM virtual machine. However, I get the message warning 'customization windows resources are found on the server. On Server 2008 R2 I would just download the sysprep files relevant to the specified locations, however using the OVF I can't find the right place to put the files.

  Please can someone advise the use of models and cloning in Version 5 of ESXi, when you use the vCenter via the OVF.

  Kind regards

  Skynite.

  You must download the sysprep on the vCenter device files, the path is/etc/vmware-vpx/sysprep.

• 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

• Two servers vCenter and shared storage

  Hi all

  Is it possible to have two vCenter environment, vCenter 5.1 and 5.5 vCenter and each vcenter has two esxi hosts to vCenter 5.1 a 5.1 host esxi and vCenter 5.5 has esxi hosts.

  All four hosts to access the same shared storage (SAN).

  VCenter hosts different access to the shared storage will damage the virtual machines on storage?

  Thank you...

  Essentially access a data store from multiple hosts that are running different versions. However, in the case of these hosts are not managed by the same server vCenter Server, it is your responsibility to ensure that guests will not access the same VMs (records) system and maximum supported are not outdated storage vMotion tasks, for example simultaneous for a data store...

  Also don't forget that functions like the control of storage i/o may not work as expected.

• Dell VRTX + vCenter 5.5 + Shared storage is ESXi host import issue in vCenter. Help, please!

  All,

  I have two VRTX to be used for lab purposes that I am currently in configuration.

  Blades feature 4 VRTX with a shared storage infrastructure. Each blade has 5.5 installed on ESXi.

  I configured the shared on the VRTX storage, and all the blades can go very well.

  The question I'm currently facing is when you add the vCenter for managing ESXi hosts.

  Add the first host goes without a hitch. However, add any later host fail, because vCenter finds datastore attached hosts to have the same identifier.

  The error message is (see the attached screenshot): ' Datastore 'Main Shared-storage' is in conflict with a store of data that exists in the data center which has the same URL (ds: / / vmfs/volumes/xxxxx /), but is supported by different physical storage.

  Someone knows how to fix this?

  Thank you.

  Thanks for the reply.

  I think that I have found a workaround.

  First of all, this link does not address my particular issue.

  See, it's a whole new vCenter device installation and configuration. Only one of the four hosts to add host has been added.

  Still, the problem is that each ESXi host is a blade VRTX (M620), which has access to the data store created on the shared storage of VRTX.

  Basically, each host is editing the data store shared even (the only data store created on the shared storage), which works very well except for vCenter complain when you import the hosts.

  In any case, my resolution was as follows:

  -Add the first host with the attached and mounted data store

  -Remove the data store and detach the controller shared by other guests before adding in vCenter

  -Re-attach the controller shared and set up the data store via vCenter once guests have been added

  -Re-configure each host for vSphere HA if necessary

  Thank you.

• A suspended snapshot could not be created for the virtual machine (DC) ha-data center (DC) \vm\VMware vCenter Server Appliance.

  Hello gentlemen,

  I can not only save this virtual machine with Backup Exec 2014 for a long time.

  They are there was no snapshot in snapshot Manager.

  Could you help me?

  A suspended snapshot could not be created for the virtual machine (DC) ha-data center (DC) \vm\VMware vCenter Server Appliance.

  V-79-57344-38260 - failed to create a snapshot of the virtual machine. The virtual machine is no longer exist, or may be too busy to pause to take the snap.

  Hello

  I found the solution.

  I disabled the JOB BE general relativity.

  and the host where the virtual machine belong was not the right time. No Ntp server has been configured.

  I did and now there works.

  I think that the problem can come from this.

• Migrate virtual machines from HP G7(single host) for HP G8 (Cluster) without shared storage

  Hello

  I have 2 esxi host (hp dl 380 G8) and put them in a cluster and other host esxi (dl 380 g7) and I have no shared storage and use local disks just now I must spend my VM G7 server a cluster of the G8 but I want to know I can join my cluster g8 g7 and migrate web vmware machines without any downtime?

  I want to know can migrate without downtime with localdisk? I have no shared storage

  Best regards

  BAbak

  can I join g7 to my cluster of the g8

  You can mix into clusters hosts all desired, even Intel and AMD at least that you enable EVC on the cluster (of course, HA or DRS require shared storage compatible/CPU). However, you need not to have even just cluster hosts to migrate virtual machines through vMotion between them.

  migrate web vmware machines without any downtime?

  Don't know what this "web vmware' but yes, because ESXi 5.1, you can use"enhanced vMotion"to live migrate virtual machines without service interruption from one host to another, even without shared storage:

  Migration with vMotion in environments without shared storage

  The usual vMotion requirements apply. Also you can only live migrate virtual machines from the old host to the new hosts because of different generations of CPU (and back as long as you don't have bike powered virtual machines on new hosts).

• Move the virtual machine from one host to another with shared storage

  Hello

  I have a question on how to move a virtual machine from one ESX 4 host to a host ESXi 5.  These hosts have access to the same shared storage but the ESX 4 host is outside the network and host ESXi 5 is inside the network so vMotion is not an option.  They are in different groups.  I know that there must be an easy way to move this virtual machine, but for the life of me, I can't find it.  I guess I have remove the virtual machine from the external cluster but how to make the virtual machine in the internal cluster?

  Thanks in advance...

  If both host access to the data store even where VM's store, just stop the virtual machine, remove inventory on ESXi 4, go to ESXi 5 vSphere vSphere, browse the data store where the VM is stored, do a right-click on the .vmx file and add to the inventory.

• 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:

  Hi everyone, iam configuration lab and I need shared storage

  How to make a server esxi storage shared among other esxi servers

  You mean like we use openfile on a windows or linux box to provied storage lun with free space on them, like that on ESXi.

  TAT is then not possible. But still, you can create a virtual machine set up all the storage, installing openfile or starwind, from there, you can give access to shared another esxi storage.

  or

  Installing vcenter

  create the cluster

  every 2 or 3 esxi, who owns the local data store.

  now install vmware storage appliance - through you can make use of all the local data store to be shared across all the esxi.

• vSphere Data Protection Virtual Appliance 6.0 does not install

  I tried to install VDP 6.0 on ESXi 6.0 for the last day and I'm seriously about to launch smashing everything like the incredible hulk.

  There are thousands of guides, I have used them in the yellow on bricks. It installs, but as soon as he told me to go to the party for the configuration it simply can. It will not resolve the host name to anything. It irritates me even typing the sentence. I have virtual appliances for the vRealize Operations Manager, vCenter Server, both work perfectly and have been set up in record time. I change IP address, virtual LANs, DNS, reinstalled 4 times entries. I did all humanly possible simple configurations and the INVESTIGATION period will not solve so I can set it up. I try to put in place so I can prove the case for the VSAN still further it and it's making it really, really hard.

  Anyone having problems with the VDP 6.0 installs correctly?

  I was running into this same issue. Try to open this Web page that is part of the same subnet.

  Try another browser. I couldn't get it work well with Chrome, but with IE and Firefox.

• vSphere high availability with no shared storage? And general problems with VMware partner supplier

  
  HA can function without shared storage?

  It may not by the availability of vSphere manual.  However the global VMware partner who sold me on VMware solution said that the shared storage is not required for HA.

  This is the same guy who told me that I would not need to buy Windows Server licenses because everything was included in the package (vSphere Essentials Plus).  Now, I have no Windows license, no shared storage and a customer who will not be happy that we did not include these costs in the citation for this project.

  HA can function without shared storage?

  No.... you need a storage shared for HA.

  This is the same guy who told me that I would not need to buy Windows Server licenses because everything was included in the package (vSphere Essentials Plus).  Now, I have no Windows license, no shared storage and a customer who will not be happy that we did not include these costs in the citation for this project.

  Maybe your partner speak the vCenter Server Appliance that is included on vSphere Essentials Plus and you can use this device to manage your vSphere, ESXi without need a VM of Windows (with Windows license) to install the vCenter server.
