• VCenter Unattended Installation - problems INSTALLDIR

  I have been using the published PDF which gives powerful assistance vCenter unattended installs the server: http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/vcenter_server_cmdline_install.pdf

  I have this job for the most part, but a part does not work, and I think I have nailed to the INSTALLDIR switch for the individual MSI files.

  For example, this command does not work (it does appear the msi help window):

  $arguments = ' / QR ADMINPASSWORD = "+ $SSOpasswd + 'DEPLOYMODE = FIRSTDOMAIN SSO_SITE =' + $SSOsite +" INSTALLDIR = "+ $InstallDIR / l * v D:\VCS-INSTALL-LOGS\ssoinstall.log'"

  Start-Process - FilePath "D:\Installs\vCS\VMware-SSO-Service.msi" - ArgumentList $arguments

  However, simply removing the switch INSTALLDIR allows for installation to occur, for example

  ' $arguments = ' / QR ADMINPASSWORD = "+ $SSOpasswd + 'DEPLOYMODE = FIRSTDOMAIN SSO_SITE =' + $SSOsite +" / l * v D:\VCS-INSTALL-LOGS\ssoinstall.log.

  Start-Process - FilePath "D:\Installs\vCS\VMware-SSO-Service.msi" - ArgumentList $arguments

  The PDF to think that this option is available.  In addition, I tested the switch in place without spaces and without quotation marks, so it doesn't seem to be a character double-quotes/exhaust problem. I am also using quotes and characters for passwords exhaust etc so do that...

  I've confirmed that this is a problem (for me at least) to:

  SSO

  Web client

  The inventory service

  vCenter Server

  Dump of the ESXi Collector

  Syslog Collector

  Any ideas?

  I try this using vCenter Server 5.5 Update 2 installation on server 2012 R2 using PowerShell (4).

  Thank you

  For the moment that it is:

  $InstallDIR = "D:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure".

  Note:

  1. I also tried with an escape with double quote character in the variable argument (according to the PDF in my original post):

  $exe = "$VCmedia\Single Sign-On\VMware-SSO - Server.msi".

  $myargs = ' / QR ADMINPASSWORD = "+ $SSOpasswd + 'DEPLOYMODE = FIRSTDOMAIN SSO_SITE =' + $SSOsite + ' INSTALLDIR =------"' + $InstallDIR + ""-""

  2. I also tried with the escape character (') - same result PowerShell:

  $exe = "$VCmedia\Single Sign-On\VMware-SSO - Server.msi".

  ' $myargs = ' / QR ADMINPASSWORD = "+ $SSOpasswd + 'DEPLOYMODE = FIRSTDOMAIN SSO_SITE =' + $SSOsite +" INSTALLDIR = ""' + $InstallDIR + "" '

  3. I also tried with a path that has no spaces - this works:

  $exe = "$VCmedia\Single Sign-On\VMware-SSO - Server.msi".

  $myargs = ' / QR ADMINPASSWORD = "+ $SSOpasswd + 'DEPLOYMODE = FIRSTDOMAIN SSO_SITE =' + $SSOsite +" INSTALLDIR = D:\VMware'

  So, who does not point to a problem with spaces/quotes - but I don't know what I'm doing wrong...

  I've added a line if it looks like this now:

  $exe = "$VCmedia\Single Sign-On\VMware-SSO - Server.msi".

  ' $myargs = ' / QR ADMINPASSWORD = "+ $SSOpasswd + 'DEPLOYMODE = FIRSTDOMAIN SSO_SITE =' + $SSOsite +" INSTALLDIR = ""' + $InstallDIR + "" '

  $myargs = $myargs + "" / l * v D:\VCS-INSTALL-LOGS\ssoinstall.log ""

  Write-Host "command: Start-Process $exe $myargs - wait."

  Start-process $exe $myargs - wait

  The output from the Write-Host shows this:

  Command: Start-Process D:\INSTALLS\vCS\\Single signe-On\VMware-SSO-Server.msi/qr ADMINPASSWORD = Hello! 2 DEPLOYMODE = FIRSTDOMAIN SSO_SITE = VCS - SSO INSTALLDIR = "" D:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure "" / l * v D:\VCS-INSTALL-LOGS\ssoinstall.log-attendre "

  The escape character is still there - suggesting that I do not understand how to use it!  I just removed the script and it works, so the controls are now:

  $exe = "$VCmedia\Single Sign-On\VMware-SSO - Server.msi".

  $myargs = ' / QR ADMINPASSWORD = "+ $SSOpasswd + 'DEPLOYMODE = FIRSTDOMAIN SSO_SITE =' + $SSOsite +" INSTALLDIR = "" ' + $InstallDIR + ' "'"

  $myargs = $myargs + "" / l * v D:\VCS-INSTALL-LOGS\ssoinstall.log ""

  Write-Host "command: Start-Process $exe $myargs - wait."

  Start-process $exe $myargs - wait

  Write-Host now says:

  Command: Panel Start-Process D:\INSTALLS\vCS\\Single-On\VMware-SSO-Server.msi/qr ADMINPASSWORD = Hello! 2 DEPLOYMODE = FIRSTDOMAIN SSO_SITE = VCS - SSO INSTALLDIR = "D:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure" / l * v D:\VCS-INSTALL-LOGS\ssoinstall.log-attendre

  Personally, I'm surprised that it works, but it's cool, I'm still learning - I'll try and look a little more information about quotes, spaces and the behavior of the variables when it is passed to a cmdlet.

• VMware vSphere for VC 5.1 replication can be done between two VCs?

  Hello:

  In VC 5.1 version VMware added an option of replication (for SMB, unlicensed SRM), but I still don't understand if replication is possible between two VCs (such as vSphere MIS replication) or it's just the inside / in front of clusters on the same virtual circuit?

  The question is, can I use VMware vSphere replication to replicate (protect VMS) between 2 VCs unlicensed SRM?

  Thank you,

  It is very simple to use - discover Duncan Epping "Back to Basics: install, configure and use replication vSphere"for a good overview. ".

• Running the VCS 4 and ESX 4 and computer virtual on a PC using VMWare Workstation 7.01

  Hello

  I could not install on my PC Windows 7.01 vCenter. I was getting a "28035.Setup error". I was told that you can run vcs on a virtual machine, so I decided to create a machine virtual W2K3 just for my VCS. I have 1 VM ESX 4.0 and 1 VCS 4.0 VM on my PC. I'm using VMWare Workstation 7 to join my VM and vSphere Client on the desktop. How can I run VCS? Normally, it will show on vShere customer. Do I need to reinstall from the CD of vCenter? Any ideas? Thank you.

  When I try to add my vcs on the domain controller server

  I don't understand exactly what you are trying to add?

  Basically, what you need to run a test environment is:

  -a domain with DNS controller and - if you want - DHCP

  -Member Server windows on which you are installing vCenter Server

  -one or more host ESX (i)

  On your client, you must install the vSphere Client and connect to the server vCenter Server by using your credentials of the AD. Using the vSphere Client, you can add hosts ESX(I) and your installation configuration.

• Reference Dell EqualLogic HIT/VSM - VMware license terms.

  Hello.

  I read the release notes of Virtual Storage Manager 4.0, vSphere, conditions of licence, they are required:

  License terms for vSphere
  VSM comes with licenses and the following features:

  VSM: VSphere license any

  VASA: vCenter 5.0 or later version, ESXi 4.0 or later, any vSphere license
  In addition, the storage array firmware allows use the following features that VSM is installed:

  vStorage API for integration (VAAI) table: business, Enterprise Plus on ESXi license
  4.1 or later.

  Issues related to the:

  1. I'll be able to run VSM with vSphere Essentials Plus? VAAI at least requires vSphere Enterprise License. What are the consequences if I deploy with vSphere Essentials Plus.

  2 VSM supports ESXi 5.5 U2?

  Thank you

  Paul

  VASA is a feature you don't need basic VSM features.  Which is what the release notes are trying to say.   VASA allows VMware request more information on storage volumes.   I.e. through VASA VCS calls can show that a volume is RAIDed storage, integrates snapshots or replicas.   Currently, the usefulness of the VASA is limited, even when it is available.   VASA is the first step to VMware to better understand a storage array capabilities. More features will be coming in future versions of ESXi.

  However, to make the VASA work any, the storage provider must provide software 'glue' for specific HW calls of a query of VCS.   VSM, is what has the code, known as a "provider of VASA.   A translator of sorts.

  Kind regards

• What VCS Expressway buy

  Advanced thanks.

  I currently have a VCS control 8.7.1(CE 1100) device.

  I need to buy a highway for in and external outgoing calls.

  What Expressway buy, C or E E. seems the right choice, but I would be sure.

  Thank you

  If you already have a VCS - C, then you need to buy a VCS-E, refer to the VCS data sheet for more information.  Because you already have a VCS - C running on the CE1000 device, if you want the VCS-E to run on it's own CE1000 camera well, you'll want VCS-E-ORL-K9 part number.  You also have the ability to run your VCS-E in the form of a virtual appliance with VMWare, the part number is R-VMVCS-EXPWY-K9.

• Questions of Virtual VCS

  Hi all

  I played with the VMWare VCS inage we bought.  I currently have it running on my primary production ESXi server, and it works fine.  I'm preparation/testing of recovery after a disaster.  So I created a virtual RESUME OVF, however when I restore the FVO to my secondary server ESXi the VCS change S/Ns and all keys are then invalid.  Am I missing something?

  Thank you

  Justin

  Hi Justin,

  It is as expected. Well free to stop people buying one and then cloinging.

  Thank you

• VCS Virtual X 8 / Root access

  Hello world

  Just a quick question.

  Since the last update of x7.2 to x8.1, virtual VCS in a cluster is not accessible with root login.

  The strange thing is that a fast track (device), within the same infrastructure is accessible via the root.

  It does even more on the vmware console.

  Any suspicion or have you seen this problem yet?

  Bravo and thank you for your answers,

  See you soon,.

  I can't really interpret your last message.

  You said 'connections series' where do you use it on a virtual serial ports of vcs - c?

  Do you have pwrec command to run and reset the password?

  Please see the guide to the administrator for more entries!

  The needs of VCS be restarted just to re - define the password password through pwrec, please follow the Administrator's guide.

  pwrec should be done via the virtual console in ESXi.

  (guess a virtual serial port might also work, but I've never tried and also why make it more complicated).

  Try something simple, like 8 characters containing A - X characters and 0-9 to rule out the possibility of keyboard problems.

  BTW, if you have the key to the strengthening of security, root access is disabled.

• VM VCS-E drop off air after storage vMotion

  We had a VCS-E, which dealt with a few calls.  VMware has performed a task of vMotion of storage on the server and the VCS-E completely dropped out of the air.

  Cisco has said that vMotion is taken in charge even if you may lose packets (although he said nothing about storage vMotion).  However, this time fallen completely out of the air box until I restarted the VCS-E interface vSphere, after what he came back fine.

  Versions of the software:

  ESXi 6, VCS X8.6

  Any ideas?

  8.6 do not officially support deployed on ESXi 6.0.

  Official support is not added for ESXi 6.0 up to 8.7 - looks too that there is a known issue with ESXi 6.0 which is exceeded in the Notes on the network connectivity that can align with this situation.

• [Issue] TMS without VMWare using the UCS is off license?

  Hello. I am an engineer junior videoconference from South Korea.

  We use the TMS device type, but now, if we order a new MSDS, we should buy a TMS worm, not the type of device software.

  Yes, it's ok.

  However, I've heard CISCO UCS user agreement dosen't allow to install the windows Server 2008 for TMS basement without VMware environment.

  If I don't know the terms of the agreement and install the OS without VMware, then, I can take the open service case?

  is this true? If it is true, then, I do not understand these terms of use for UCS for TMS.

  Could you link/specity the user agreement you're talking about?

  Besides the fact that you have a license for vmware, I don't think

  that a server is empty of ucs has such a restriction.

  On the other hand, you might want to use vmware under tms just to make your life

  easier (snapshorts before the updates, share the same server with other applications

  (such as vcs, cucm, sql dedicated server, linux management box,...)

  Such as:

  • Conductor
  • Telepresence Server

• VCS Expressay

  Hello

  I have a few doubts about VCS:

  (1) control VCS and Expressay can run on the Virtual Machine? 2

  (2) when the VCS was running a physical server, it has two networks interfaces one within the network and others you can put on the DMZ? How can I do this on VMware?

  Concerning

  Leonardo Santana

  The virtual VCS presents itself as an OVA, it is a based on linux, you can deploy on your own hosting VMWare hardware as long that you meet the technical requirements as stated on the link in my previous post.

  Share and control the way Express the same EGG file, so when you first install the VCS, either a control or a highway, it will initially as a control.  What it turns into an expressway is an option key "fast track."  When you buy a highway of VCS, you will get this option button.  There are separate numbers for each type of VCS, the part numbers for the virtual server are: control (R-VMVCS-CTRL-K9) and highway (R-VMVCS-EXPWY-K9).

• WebClient problem with application of PSC & VCS on several sites navigation

  Hi all

  I just deployed a VC6 environment nine which consist of two sites. I wanted to set up separate server of VC + PSC external instances on each site where the PSC share a common domain, so actually two PSC replicate information between them and the VC is connected individually to each site of the PSC.

  My main site seems to work quite well when I connect here via the webclient service, but on the second site, I am unable to navigate correctly anything (again via the webclient service). Sometimes I get error messages that http://localhost:10080 / invsvc is not available, and in the "Administration" tab I have no access to anything although I already gave my account permissions. The only thing I get in return is the message "you do not have the permissions to view this object or the object does not exist".

  After some hassles around this question, I tried to redirect the second server of VC to the PSC for the first site which effectively solved the problem, but when I went back the secondary VC to its planned secondary PSC, the problem came back immediately. Now, I also noticed that this occurs only when I sail the second VC with specific accounts. I have no problem while browsing on the environment with the integrated [email protected] or even the domain administrator account from my own internal ad "[email protected]", but if I connect with my own credentials for the administrator, the problem seems to persist. I temporarily assigned my user account AD for the two VC with all permissions and I have had no problem of navigation on both sites.

  Also I don't know if it is a problem related to AD nested groups (I'm delegating access through security usually groups in my VC servers), but I could not navigate the webclient even service correctly after that I assigned my own account directly to instances of VC. Yet once again, this only happens on the secondary site. I gave my has all the necessary permits for the two VC and I have no problem to go them the webclient primary VC, but it is just go right through the second Victoria Cross.

  To me, this seems to be some sort of bug PSC or WebClient. I've tried the individual VC via the regular vSphere navigation c# client and there is no problem with permissions at all, so, actually, that I access granted.

  My environment is based on 100% windows and VMware share consist of several individual components such as PSC and VCS instances deployed on separate VMS on each site (so 4 VM altogether). I have 2 domain controllers in each site with healthy replication and currently I use SQL server databases 2014 hosted directly on instances of the VC.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Thank you.
