• What would cause the "from address" info (FA). some emails, downloading the pop3 server, will be replaced by an 'f' 'common '?

  I get multiple research work emails (E/JS) and ecommerce. Some of them have a "Correct".

  For some reason, however, some of the emails from other sources, downloading the verizon pop3, E/JS server are indicated (wrongly) as having the FA SMJAM-JAM above. This situation prevents my email filters to plug these emails to their appropriate mail folder.

  If I understand your problem, I think it may have to do with the addresses stored in your address book. Thunderbird can display the name of your address book instead of the name of the post office, where corresponds to the e-mail address.

• Upgrade from vCenter Server 4 to vCenter 5 problems

  I am trying to improve our server vCenter for ESXi 4.1 5. I ran the pre-upgrade and he reported no problems. After you have started the server vCenter 5 install received a message that it could not solve the COMPLETE computer domain name. I was connected under my auto (domain administrators) and could ping a domain FULL of my laptop. Is this an error message to the stop.

  Then the installation wouldn't let me select the use of the local system for the Server service account. We have SQL 2008 installed on the server by using domain connections. At this point, I stopped the installation. Do I have to create a new domain account for the service and add it to SQL with SA privileges?

  I have the downtime scheduled for this Monday finish the upgrade of our vCenter Server.

  Todd lemmiksoo

  I recently came across the error "could not resolve field FULL of computer name", and which has proved to be a wrong PTR record in the reverse lookup zone. If there is an incorrect or missing PTR record, which could lead to this error.

  You can consult the VMware Virtual Center Server service on your existing installation of vCenter to see which account is used on the tab log now? If it is not currently using the Local System account, you may need to use the account specified on the screen during the upgrade. If now it uses the Local System account, I don't know what to tell you on this subject.

• Migrate from vCenter Server again HW with Cisco 1000v in environment

  I have a cluster 13 hosts ESXi 4.1 using a cisco 1kv currently and you want to move the vcenter server to a new host.  I anticipate using the same database as the existing host and IP.  Having the 1kv cisco in the environment will prevent simply connecting me the new instance of an existing database (after powering down the first instance) or it will create no additional steps in the process?

  As long as you manage the server vCenter and db, you should be fine.  You will encounter problems if you change these, like the 1KV, is ultimately always a dvSwitch, associated with the server vcenter himself.  Thus, while you plan to move to new hardware, your vCenter is still considered to be the old vcenter, otherwise, you will encounter problems.

  Hope that makes sense.

• What will be lost if I use a new database for vCenter Server?

  Currently, we use VC 2.5 U4 with database SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition.  We intend to migrate the SQL Server used by VC to SQL Server 2005 Express 2000 database.  We have tried the upgrade on-site of the VC database but without success.

  In this way, we will create a new SQL Server 2005 Express for VC database.  We would like to see more performance statistics, the following items will be lost?

  (1) resource pool

  (2) cluster configuration

  (3) connect to the ESX host

  (4) configuration of NIC in ESX host

  (5) the allocation of resources for each virtual computer

  We are very concerned by the Network Configuration of a particular ESX host that takes us a long time to repair.

  Thank you

  The ESX host network configuration will remain as it is a host level setting.  With regard to the other elements:

  (1) Yes, you will lose your Resource Pools

  (2) your cluster configuration, including DRS rules, etc. will be lost

  (3) you will need to add each ESX host on your vCenter Server

  (4) as indicated, you will not lose your network configuration

  (5) If you set resources in a Resource Pool, then you who will lose.  If you set it on the virtual machine itself then I believe that you leave this setting.

  You will also lose some other things, like all the permissions you applied at various levels of vCenter.

  There is no data for the endpoint collection... And I'm not entirely sure of how you added the vCenter object it... y at - it a calculation object named "vCenter? To answer your specific questions about the models, however, they must be stored on a cluster that is part of the tissue group for data collection to pick them up... They are not considered as a global entity (as a resource calculation). Add models to one of the clusters and then to collect data on it, and you should be fine.

• Migrate from vCenter Server 5.1 again cluster

  I have my server vCenter Server (v5.1) VM on a former cluster of servers ESXi 4.1/5.0. I only have vSwitches on each of these hosts. I now have a new 5.1 ESXi hosts managed by this same vCenter Server cluster. However, this new cluster has a with completely different dvSwitch VLAN is configured. I have already created several new VM in this new cluster with the new VLAN / port groups.

  I would spend my vCenter Server the old the new cluster and I can't understand how to do this since I can't access my dvSwitch when adding my vCenter Server VM to a new host.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Is not possible. For a migration live to work, you need the source networks and applications available in both environments.

  I just create a new server vCenter in the 5.1 environment and migrate new hosts to the new vCenter server.

• Is there an APP or the CODEC I can use to play movies from Netflix instead of Silverlight?

  There are fewer videos numbers that use Silverlight to run. There isn't any app or codec to replace Silverlight with Netflix. (any way netflix is powered by silverlight).
  If you encounter problems with the use of Silverlight for Netflix, download the latest version here.

• Process of moving from vCenter Server

  Hi all

  I'm about to leave VirtualCenter a physical box for a physical box, newer and more powerful.  I just want to throw the process I have planned and want to see if there is something missing:

  1. uninstall the VirtualCenter server and the old license server machine.

  2. during the uninstall process, choose "Select number when asked" you want to remove database VMware VirtualCenter this machine settings?"

  3. change the name and the IP address of the OLD server, VirtualCenter to something different

  4. change the name and the VirtualCenter Server NEW IP to match the old server has been configured as.

  5 install the VirtualCenter & Licensing server.  During the installation process, configure the ODBC connection to point to the existing SQL DB for VirtualCenter

  It seems correct to anyone? Is that all that I'm missing in the transfer process that I can wait to cause headaches?

  Thanks in advance.

• vCenter Server displays the error message: unable to connect to the host

  vCenter Server displays the error message: unable to connect to the host

  Symptoms

  • vCenter Server cannot connect to a host when you perform operations such as:

  •

  o Storage vMotion

  o cold migration

  o cloning a virtual machine

  o the model deployment

  • Newspapers vpxd that contains an entry similar to:

  • vCenter Server shows the VMS as being disconnected then connected.

  Hello

  Resolution

  Cause

  This problem can occur if an ESX host's IP address is changed while being managed by vCenter Server.

  Check the cause

  To check the cause of the problem:

  1. Log in as root to the ESX host using a SSH client.
  1. In the file etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg, find the IP address of the host. The entry looks like:

     
     10.21.48.121
     

     Note: for more information about editing the files, see installation in VMware ESX configuration files (1017022).

  Troubleshooting

  If the IP address is incorrect, perform the following steps in order. If the operation does not resolve the problem, continue to the next step. Don't skip a step.

  1. Disconnect and then reconnect the host:
  1. Right click on the ESX host in vCenter Server and click Disconnect.
  1. Reconnect the ESX host in vCenter Server.
  1. Restart the VirtualCenter agent on the ESX host:
  1. Stop the service of vpxa with the command:

     # service vmware-vpxa stop

  1. Open the /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg file in a text editor and correct the IP address of the ESX host.
  1. Start the service of vpxa with the command:

     # service vmware-vpxa start

     Note: for VMware ESXi, you may have to restart all the management agents. For more information, see restart the agents on an ESX or ESXi Server (1003490) management .

  1. Rebuild the VirtualCenter agent on the ESX host configuration file:

     Attention: this step removes all the Statistics counters historical host and the virtual machine. If VMware ESX host is running in virtual machines that starts in a permitted CVS environment, you maybe won't be able to add the host without stopping the virtual machines first.

  1. Right click on the ESX host in vCenter Server and click Disconnect.
  1. Remove the ESX host disconnected from vCenter Server.
  1. Backup the file vpxa.cfg with the command:

     # mv /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.oldcfg

  1. Add the ESX host disconnected to the server vCenter inventory.
  1. Run the following command to view the contents of /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg and confirm that the host IP address is correct:

     # cat /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg

• vCenter Server 5 install in a virtual machine or not?

  Hi all.

  We have a health care environment small assisted living with a dozen sites/servers

  A server has 3 VMw4 vms on it.

  We received two new servers ESXi installed 5. They will host several virtual machines of Windows Server for most of the migration of the current VMw4.

  I want to install vCenter Server 5 to manage.

  My book of VMware by Lowe, he mentions that install the vCenter server in a virtual machine has limits.

  It mentions cold migration, cloning and editing material are not available.

  He also mentions the considerations with the help of a distributed virtual switch.

  Ufortunately that he won't go into details.

  But there seems to be benefits such as the backup server and fast food when you use a virtual machine.

  Any thoughts?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  It is one of the common design decision. now VMware recommended is to use a virtual machine.

  some of the benefits you can get are: -.

  The vCenter Server system can be revived in a cluster of high availability of vSphere

  VM resources CPU and memory can be easily resized. The vCenter Server system also benefits from vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) cluster workload balancing.

  You can easily save or create a virtual machine as needed.

  him as a physical Machine will be some disadvantages such as:-

  To ensure availability, you must purchase and use additional software such as vCenter Server Heartbeat or a third-party clustering solution.

  You must properly size the physical machine's resources.

  You must have a separate system and use imaging software to take a snapshot of a physical machine.
