• How to clean an installation Vcenter 5.5 missed a second server vCenter linked mode

  Hello

  First of all, my situation:

  I managed to install the following services on a single box:

  vCenter Single Sign-On (Vcenter Single Sign-on to your first server vCenter Server)

  vSphere Web Client

  vCenter Inventory Service

  vCenter Server

  The first properly installed vCenter (SRMVC.test.local).

  I then ran the installation on the second vCenter server (SRMVCDR.test.local)

  vCenter Single Sign-On (vCenter Single Sign-on for an additional vCenter server with a new site)

  vSphere Web Client

  vCenter Inventory Service

  vCenter Server (linked modes) * impossible *.

  I came across a mistake by joining the vCenter linked mode.  I then tried to force who do not have, and installation cancelled.   I think I am facing this problem described in this KB:

  Connecting two servers vCenter fails with the error: error 28039.Setup cannot join vCenter Server group related modes (1026087)

  http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2006850

  Now, I see a series of problems with the virtual machine that may be the root cause.  When I open the Server Manager there is an error when I try to view the roles or features.   The error I see is:

  Unexpected error refreshing Server Manager: element not found (except for HRESULT:0 x 80070490)

  To make a long story short:

  I don't really want to solve the problem on the virtual machine.  I think there could be a problem with the template I've deployed this virtual machine from and I would just blow it way and the redeployment of a new model. The problem is that, in the previous installs, I had trouble to reinstall a second vCenter after a failure to install because different services have already been registered with the first SSO server.

  My question:

  How to completely clean all the necessary components on the first server vCenter after a failed install a second server vCenter mode related?  I think that the second server is not only with its own UNIQUE authentication server, but also with the first server in the SSO site located on SRMVC.test.local.  I want to blow any trace of it so that the environment is pristine and so that I can use the same name of the second vcenter (VCSRMDR.test.local) when I reinstall.

  If the second vcenter also has its own SSO installed on the same machine and the second SSO has been installed in multisite mode (should be Yes, because the main goal is to related modes), you need a clean to the top of the first SSO vmdrd.

  VMware support specific utility to get this done, please file a case for support.

  Installing vCenter isn't going to be a problem, each installation has a user ID application created with the date of installation, this ID and certificate (which should be unique for a new installation, disable ssl programdata folders if re - install) are used to record vcenter to OSP.

  So the old entries will not be a problem for the other components.

  ever since the webclient service, you can remove users from the application:

  Log webclient with [email protected] the first web client.

  Under setting up users and groups, under the users Application tab, you can see all the application registered users.

  To identify that one to remove

  for vcenter, check the file C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VirtualCenter Server\ssoregtool\vssso.properties.

  Once you know the job vcenter ID, you can delete the ID of the other.

  Ditto for the inventory service, the inventory service ID can be found in C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Inventory Service\conf\sso.ini

  For webclient files is C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphereWebClient\SsoRegTool\sso_conf\solution.ini

  vCenter and webclient has a user record solution with sso, which must be removed from the command line. This is the KB for this: 2033238

  again, you can use the above mentioned files to identify the one to delete.

• Error during extraction of the vSphere Webclient 5.5 msi installer vCenter

  Get quite desperate here... I try to self-study vSphere, based on a configuration of VMWare Workstation 9 version 5.5. All this on my laptop RAM 16 GB quadcore. And after two days of fighting, I can't even begin because a simple simple installation does not work!

  The error that I'm stuck on whenever that occurs during the installation of the Web Client:

  1152: error is C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\{378E4D59-A095-46BC-BB1B-A1BCF7013AC5}\vSphere Webclient.msi in the temporary location

  In fact, I notice everything first in the 'easy install' stops after successful installation of SSO and warns that I have to manually install the other components. When I do that with the Web Client, I can see the InstallShield Wizard check it out apparently with success, creating the subfolder randomness with an STD, some files of configuration and "VMWare vSphere Web Client.exe. A "decompression" begins, which is about 75%, then gives error.

  -first time this happened on a Win2008 R2 VM I had installed from a template

  -J' then tried on a freshly installed Win2012 RTM VM, same problem

  -then tried on a Win2012 R2 RTM, here things end with another problem (mentioned in another forum, some missing file on 2012R2 and have to install manually LDS, but 2012R2 'not supported' so I'm not going to try this)

  BUT! : when I start a manual installation of the Web Client on 2012 R2, the "1152 error extraction" does not happen, it passes 'unzip '! So I thought I'd be smart and just copy the folder uncompressed to the other server. Unfortunately, trying to launch the installation of these files you get a message that it only works when the VirtualCenter installation program Initializes the installation... It's to square 1 the vCenter Installer handles all the steps in a 'transaction' and I don't think you can say that you have prepared a subfolder with unzipped "VMWare vSphere Web Client.exe.

  -Then, I thought since the decompression has worked on 2012 R2, but not on my 2012, it had to be some essential Windows which were published between 2012 GTR and 2012R2 update, which affected Windows Installer. So I downloaded more than 600 MB of updates on the 2012 RTM server, installed to get 100% updated (took a few hours).

  Result: no difference...

  I tried other things: installation under local administrator (understand that the path of the temporary folder may have something to do), Safe Mode Setup (impossible since Windows install is not available), VM more memory of a madman 13 GB (compared to 4 GB), through 'run as administrator', race through "Troubleshoot compatibility", choose a different installation language in the drop-down list box when you start the installation...

  I obviously also re-downloaded the iso file of 3.3 GB, but it has not made a difference. And I think that the decompression would also cause an error on 2012R2 then as well, if this part were corrupt.

  I'm totally ideas now... Better, I tried to download and evaluate a different version perhaps? Hope someone has other suggestions.

  TIA

  Hello and welcome to the communities.

  May be wondering the obvious here, but you check checksums for this download to ensure that it was not corrupt?

• New vcops Manager installation - no display on dashboard

  Hello

  I just downloaded and installed the trial version of vcenter ops manager VAPP.

  The installation has been completed ok and I can launch the vsphere client plug-in.

  What I don't see is a standard dashboard view, so I wonder if jthis is normal or I have not activated something. Compered to the product documentation, I see a very simplified version.

  I would be recognizing any suggestions on what I have missed or misconfigured.

  PS - please see attached screenshot which is my default view.

  Thank you very much.

  By default, Operations Manager is running in mode of Foundation (which does not include the dashboard) when it is without a permit or an incorrect license is applied.  See the section permitted the release notes for more details - VMware vCenter Operations Manager 5.6

• Installation VCenter on Win2003 - Error Message 28038

  Installation of vCenter Server 4.0 Update 1 on Windows Server 2003.

  Seems to be an error in the ADAM installation program.

  Have you checked the error log file?

  PS: If you have Windows 2003 why your profile is in C:\Users? Do you have roaming profiles or folders redirection?

  I have not yet installed a clean version of vCenter Server 4.0U1 on Windows Server 2003, but I upgrade 4.0 to U1 with no problems.

• certificate installation vcenter 5.5

  Hello

  It is a desperate for help call, I'm ready to hang myself up (figure of speech)

  After the upgrade of all my components to the latest version (from 5.0) 5.x vsphere, I installed the view security server en as last connection server.

  The view connection server told me the fact that I install certificates.

  I have been follwing all the steps, detail after detail of this KB:

  Application CA signed certificates SSL with vSphere 5.x (2034833)

  I configure CA AD integrated into the AD, made the necessary changes to the usage of the key model, made the CERT, checked the CERT, followed the steps to register certificates in the SSO

  Al fine, everything is ok...

  I'm to the point of replace the vCenter Server 5.x certificates.:

  • Configuration of CA signed certificates for vCenter Server 5.5 (2061973)

  I did wat is requested and it won't go to the place where I am asked to connect to the CROWD. (AND I discovered that I myself locked out vcenter)

  So without reloading the sslcert in the CROWD, the isregtools is not complete with the code:

  0

  0

  ... it ends by

  9

  9

  I stopped here to assure you that I do not encrypt my db with the bad cert.

  I edited the VPX ACCESS table and added the local credentials, nothing works...

  How should I proceed?

  I have to get everything running by Tuesday or we can't use our rooms pc on Faculty :/

  Looks desperate

  John

  Hi John,.

  to get the file .pem working with SSL tool you must include the full certificate chain in this container...

  -Certificates in PEM container must be in x 509 (BASE64)... NOT in DER

  -When you open it in the text editor, they should start by: - BEGIN CERTIFICATE - ends: - END CERTIFICATE -

  -If you use CA subordinate to issue certificates within your domain, you must include the certificate in PEM file!

  -All certificates in. PEM file must be in reverse order so that when you open the file must first be Server vCenter, second Sub and last Root CA certificate

  You can create containers PEM with the copy command and maintain the exact order:

  copy/b rui.crt + SubCA64.cer + RootCA.cer chain.pem

  After that you will have created PEM file open and check certificates order, vCenter first, second Sub and root down.

  Avoid putting a few extra blank lines between the certificates, there should be no space before and after any certificate.

  Once you have chain.pem and the private key of the certificate vCenter (rui.crt), you can start with SSL tool.

• Assessment vCOps 5.8.1 with vCenter 5.1

  Hello

  I have deployed vCOps TIME in an environment with vCenter 5.1 and it came out very well, but only the version of the Foundation. Is somehow related to the fact that the vCenter is version 5.1? I would like to evaluate it before moving on to version 5.5.

  Thank you

  Zoran

  Hello

  You have the (Standard, Enterprise or advanced) evaluation license for vCOps?
  If so, you save the vCOps Manager to vCenter and assign the license?

  Try to reload/restart the vCOps to refresh the license as described in the release notes here: VMware vCenter Operations Manager 5.8.1 Release Notes

  After the application of the license, you can wait for the license manager cache to update automatically, which is present in every twenty minutes.

  For immediate license update, click on the reload button in the status tab of the Administration Portal to update the Operations Manager of vCenter license.

  If you do not assign the license, try to assign the license first.

  Operations Manager vCenter is allowed as an asset for the vCenter Server that it monitors.

  You must register operations with a Server vCenter vCenter before assigning the 5.8.1 license.

  To register for vCenter Operations Manager with a vCenter Server, open the vCenter operations Manager Administration Portal and follow the procedure described in configuration and VMware vCenter Operations Manager Deployment Guide.

  There is also a knockout to control the license cache: VMware KB: vCenter license 5.x Operations Manager State fails to update after you apply the license

• 5.5 vCenter unattended installation documentation?

• Analytics data drive free space is less than 15% > Vcops begin the deletion of data

  Hello

  I'm new to vCOps, please bear with me.

  We have vCOps running in a configuration of test for about half a year now. Recently, he has been given these administrative alerts on the virtual analytical computer:

  «Storage disk (/ data) of free space is less than 15%.» vCenter Operations Manager will start the deletion of data to recover disk space. To avoid the automatic deletion of the data, add an additional drive.

  I was looking into that, but I can't understand what data are removed or how vCOps chooses to delete data.
  For example, VM Analytics metric history goes back only 3 weeks, some metric hosts history goes back to early August. Another metric story hosts return early September.

  So I guess that vCOps has been clear data to recover disk space, but...

  Is there a logic on what data are removed?

  Is there a documentation on that?

  We have 110 guests and about 1250 VM. What is the recommended size of the unit of storage/data?

  Thanks in advance.

  It will be cleaning older data of historical metrology.

  But if your installation is that fresh, more likely of allocated disk space is less than the recommended size.
  As far as I know, those appearing at the beginning of the administration guide.
