VCSA 5.5 U3 update to U3b

Similar Questions

• Everyone updated to 5.5 Update 1 on VCSA and noted that the version numbers do not match?

  Updated our laboratory VCSA to 5.5 Update 1 (via the: 5480 Portal) and I noticed that, while the console of the VCSA (blue screen) indicates the version of vCenter to 5.5.10000 build 1624811, watching in vSphere Client (Windows and Web) poster 5.5.0 build 1623101.   Any ideas?

  Nevermind, read the online release notes, a noticed link generates different unit compared to vCenter himself.

• Can access VCSA with the root account, but cannot access vSphere with the same root account

  I am able to connect to the VCSA (: 5480) with the created password for root, but I can't log in vSphere (: 9443) with this same root account).  It seems that the password has been correctly set, but weird that I can connect to one and not the other.  I recently improved bed and breakfast ESXi and VCSA version 5.5 Update 2, but don't think that should have an effect on.  Any suggestions?  Help, please.

  Understand the problem.  When you change the field by default to another identity source, you must type root@localos as the user name to use the root account.

• ESXi network problem

  I have a strange problem of networking with ESXi, my infrastructure is described below:

  I'm under vCenter 5.5 on a VCSA (5.5.0 update 2d, Build 2442330). The environment is a mixture of ESXi 5.1 (especially U2) and 5.5U1a. We have 1 primary site with 5 sites all remote connected via GRE VPN tunnels, The VCSA is in the main site, each remote site has at least 1 ESXi server managed by the VCSA. Each remote site has independent internet so for each site, the basic router (which ends the GRE VPN) routes inside networks (essentially 10.0.0.0/8) through the tunnel and has a default route to the local firewall. ESXi boxes that are not configured with the router as the default gateway, none of the custom static routes have been added to ESXi.

  Two of my remote sites (a site has two servers ESXi, the other has a site) ESXi servers keep losing contact with vCenter. Nothing else on these networks is never a problem to talk to the main site, including talking to the VCSA. Three servers are different versions of 5.1. Here's what I've done for troubleshooting:

  1. ESXi can ping on virtually any host through the tunnel to the main site with the exception of the VCSA.
  2. I isolated my network management in ESXi to a physical NETWORK card and made a SPAN on the switch port, a capture of packets revealed that when the rattling of the VCSA ESXi put the packet on the wire with a destination MAC of the firewall. For all the other hosts on the main site of subnet ESXi sends the packet with a destination MAC address of the core router. Packet capture on ESXi itself (using tcpdump-uw) shows the same thing.
  3. The ARP tables on all hosts show correct MAC addresses for the router base and the firewall.
  4. Make a "vmkping - I vmk0 - N < core router > < VCSA >" succeeds (destination MAC is correct in this case).
  5. Add a static route to ESXi to the address of the VCSA force it to the top of base does not work, ESXi continues to send the packet to the Mac static routes these firewall have been removed after the failed test of workaround.
  6. Restart the host will solve the problem for a short time.

  Some info:

  These three server 1 is an IBM x 3300 M4 using Intel I350 GB network cards, the other two are R620s from Dell. The R620s each have 1 4-port Broadcom BCM5720-1 4 Intel 82580 ports. IPv6 has been disabled on all three hosts. Right now vmk0 is linked to an Intel NETWORK card on three servers, but barely I started to watch it, so I don't know if we saw the problem with vmk0 with a Broadcom.

  The Dells are inherited, so we have not done installs it but I reinstalled one of them yesterday (it was 5.1 U2 I reinstalled 5.1 U3) at the request of support for VMware. Support noted that the firmware and drivers were outdated and did not meet the HCL for those who have been updated when I reinstalled.

  IBM has been purchased and installed by our care last summer, firmware and drivers correspond to this LIST with the exception of the version of the BIOS that is a future release (it corresponds to the HCL for 5.5).

  I have a pension case, SR 15633456803. Initially, they tried to blame the network. Although it is clear to me that this is not a network problem, I put a case of Cisco in any way. Cisco has quickly threw the evidence I had gathered and made the same determination. The only way that this could be a network problem is with ProxyARP. ProxyARP is disabled on my firewalls, ESXi has correct ARP tables and when you talk to anything on the main network, in addition to the VCSA it sends the packet to the MAC address so clearly not a question of ProxyARP. At this point VMware said essentially that they are running out of ideas. I hope my reinstalled host stay online for more than a week, then I'll reinstall the other two hosts and call it a day if all goes well, but I'm preparing for the possibility that may not happen.

  We never seen anything like this or have any ideas?

  I understand the problem, ESXi does not correctly release the generated ICMP redirects. You can force the issue by restarting the vmk0 interface (or any port of kernel VM is your management interface) VMware KB: Internet control management protocol redirects, because a permanent fix I will disable ICMP redirects on my routers.

• Upgrade VCSA 6.0 6.0 Update 1: Multi site command?

  Hi all

  I have a site deployment 6.0 multi with stretched SSO and wonder in what order I should be upgraded to the VCSAs in?

  Production Site:

  VCSA as external PSC with postgres

  VCSA as vCenter

  Recovery site:

  VCSA as external PSC with postgres

  VCSA as vCenter

  Pass both sides then the VCs? Or should I do 1 site at a time?

  Thank you

  Girardot

  I got a response from William Lam via the virtuallyGhetto forum

  "Yes, or you can just update a single site (since the PSC are backward compat) and get the two PSC/VC, updated before moving on. Two options could work, as long as you update the PSC before the VC upgrade"

  I hope this will help others.

  See you soon,.

• Update / fixes ESXi single host with VCSA running on it.

  We have just updated since the free version of ESXi 5 by ordering the Kit of Essentials. In the process, of course, we were able to deploy vCenter Update Manager (which has been the main motivation, like patching manually the free version seemed to be quite a pain). We have a Windows host that has installed the Update Manager, and we have a VCSA running on the single instance of ESXi, we deployed to date. We were able to install the plugin on the viClient and scan the ESXi host for patches with success (a need a good number). But, we're stuck trying to install the patches... us when trying to restore the host, we get: "the operation is not supported on the selected inventory items. Check events for the objects selected for the operation.

  The host says:

  The 10.0.1.80 host has a virtual VMware vCenter machine

  Device server with VMware vSphere update

  Manager or VMware vCenter Server installed. The

  Virtual MACHINE needs to be moved to another host for the

  consolidation to proceed.

  Clean up the entity

  10.0.1.80

  root

  Looking at this logic, for the host switch to maintenance mode, the VCSA should have been suspended (apparently, actually moved), which would avoid in turn patches / updates to the deployment. Am I correct in thinking, that we have a second host and networked storage? Made a Kit Essentials / license provide for the possibility of vMotion from one host to another? It wasn't really clear... Yes, the web site says "vMotion" is included in most Essentials, but find it me hard to imagine any point to a facility in ESXi stream without the ability to vMotion between one system and another guest...

  Welcome to the community,

  And since you have only an ESXi host and your vCSA is running on this host, you cannot patch this host with Update Manager for reason that already know you: the host should be the maintenance mode.

  Add about another host, with Kit Essentials without vMotion functionality, you can try using a data store of shared storage between two hosts, stop the vCSA on first host and switch the vCSA on the second host... and finally the first host patch.

• VCSA and update Manager

  Update Manager updates the vCSA device?   I swore that I read that he cannot for the time being, but I don't remember the documentation nor do I find.  If anyone knows, please let me know or point me to the documentation saying it is or is not possible.

  I know VUM does not come with the vCSA and I also know that it is always necessary to use Windows to run stand-alone.  You don't know everything just not if the autonomous will update the device.

  THX.

  Hi Larry,

  Good question. As far as I know, the update/upgrade of the VCSA is build-in the camera and you need to update/upgrade from there. Check that this upgrade procedure document.

  Kind regards.

  Any idea?

  The two numbers represent the same update (vCenter Server Appliance 5.5 Update 2 a). One of them is the real version number, and the other is that of the Installer (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1014508)

• VCSA 5.5 Udate Manager

  Hi guys,.

  Does everything now is it possible to install a VMware Update Manager for multiple vCenter u3b VCSA 5.5?

  or do I need to install the new update manager and create a new database for each of them.

  I have 5 VCSA all u3b 5.5.

  There is a 1 to 1 relationship between vCenter Server and Manager Update, in this way, you will need a Manager to update separate for each your vcenter Server.

• vCenter Update to 5.5U2 to 5.5U3D - SSL issues?

  Hi, currently I am planning my vCenters of 5.5U2 to 5.5U3d update.

  Are there pitfalls I should be aware of that. I understand that SSL is U3b removed\disabled leave.

  Update of the VC directly to 5.5U3d could cause problems with VC connect to current ESXi (U2 2718055) due to SSL TLS change hosts?

  
  Also there are the implications on the 5.8 SRM?

  Thanks in advance!

  Update of the VC directly to 5.5U3d could cause problems with VC connect to current ESXi (U2 2718055) due to SSL TLS change hosts?

  No, and if you plan to upgrade your hosts you will really need to have your first improved vCenter.

  Also there are the implications on the 5.8 SRM?

  You should upgrade your SRM version 5.8.1 see: VMware product interoperability Matrices

• Need help to update to work with the new vSphere environment 6

  I have a great powershell script some time ago, I created to clone our production servers in a development environment and configure them for use in isolated vShield development networks.

  We have recently updated our environment vSphere vSphere 6 and changed architecture autour 5.

  Previously with vSphere 5 we had a unique vCenter server that managed our two datacenters by itself.

  With the new design of vSphere 6, we have a PSC and VCSA server to each data center in one area of SSO.

  The first thing I did with my script of cloning is up-to-date reference vcenter for a table of two servers, so I connect to two VCs at the same time.

  This allows me to see and manage the two vCenters virtual computer guests, so get - vm strives to see the comments of the source.

  However, the problem is that when I try to clone a virtual machine from one data center to another, the command fails because it can't find the virtual machine to clone.

  # Virtual Centre server or VM host to connect to
  $aryVIServer = @("vc01.domain.com", "vc02.domain.com")
  
  # Load VMware environment
  Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -DefaultVIServerMode Multiple -InvalidCertificateAction Ignore -Confirm:$false | Out-Null
  $VIServer = Connect-VIServer $aryVIServer
  
  # Server cluster group to deploy to
  $strVMCluster = "Bubbles"
  
  # Define name of new server including environment prefix
  $vmName = "$($envPrefix)-$($CloneServer)"
  
  # Select Host with least memory consumption
  $selectedHostObj = Get-VMHost -Location $strVMCluster | Sort-Object -Property MemoryUsageGB | Select-Object -First 1
  
  # Select folder to place VM guest into
  $folderObj = Get-Datacenter -Cluster $strVMCluster | Get-Folder $selectedBubble
  
  # Select datastore with most available space
  $selectedDatastoreObj = Get-DataStore -VMHost $selectedHostObj | Sort-Object -Property FreeSpaceGB -descending | Select-Object -First 1
  
  # Clone new VM from running Server
  $newVM = New-VM -Name $vmName -VM $CloneServer -VMHost $selectedHostObj -Datastore $selectedDatastoreObj -DiskStorageFormat "Thin" -Location $folderObj -Confirm:$false
  

  He used to work very well when there was a single VC but of course does not now with two.

  So far, the only difference is the change in VCs. We always use the same exact 5.0 running ESXi hosts to the same place in separate data centers.

  Oh and I'm now using powercli 6.3 R1 instead of 5.5 R1.

  I look forward to this type of procedure should work fine, and I just need a different command for virtual machine cloning now?

  Well, I have solved the first problem according to them here:

  Re: Impossible to deploy VM model on different vCenter Server (in the same domain of SINGLE sign-on)

  However, now I can't run Invoke VMScript without getting an error that the proxy authentication is required.

  If I remove all my proxy settings in Internet Explorer, then it connects fine but this script must be run by a number of engineers without being dependent on their proxy settings are disabled.

  I can programmatically change the settings of proxy at the beginning of the script, but nothing not preventing to change those back if they use their browser and break execution of the halfway of script.

  Never had any problems with the Proxy settings before and I didn't know any other messages that have directly relevant air.

  Anyone know of a way to avoid this?

• DNS issue on vcsa at 5.5 to 6 level

  We are in the process of upgrading our vCenter (vcsa) of 5.5 to 6.0 U2. During the upgrade, I get a warning that the "Host name xxxx is not be resolved by DNS, but corresponds to VC and SSO. certificates. If you don't configure a mapping of host name can be resolved to valid DNS, you may not be not able to connect to vCSA 6.0 thereafter. Please or device file/etc/hosts to access DNS servers properly update DNS servers device with the correct host name mapping. "To check if the DNS a record all local host name, please run" dig xxxx + short "locally on the device, or"nslookup xxxx"on a windows machine. However, I checked through nslookup on the device that resolves the host name. I also checked that DNS is correct on the device and our DNS entries are correct. Given that the host name is resolved, I guess I could get the vcsa after the upgrade very well. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thank you!

  Thanks Camero. We have checked and guaranteed that all resolve correctly. The error still persists, but we feel confident that we can move forward. The vcsa updated very well and we could access/determination afterwards.

• without uplinks in dvSwitch created by UCS vCSA 6.0, 6.0u1b, 6.0u2 Manager

  I try to configure passthru vnic UCS in vCenter Server Appliance 6.0u1b. I had:

  1. updated my UCS field for the 2.2 version (6f).
  2. installed VMware-VCSA-all - 6.0.0 - 3343019.iso;
  3. installed ESXi 5.1 with the latest updates and cisco-vem-v151 - 5.1 - 1.1.1.1.zip;
  4. moved this 5.1 to vCenter ESXi host;
  5. exported vCenter extension of UCS Manager;
  6. any succesfully extension to vCenter;
  7. created vCenter, Datacenter, folder and DVS in the UCS Manager;

  After a few moments UCS created this DVS in vCenter. When I try to move 5.1 ESXi host at this DVS, there is no uplinks:

  

  VCenter then unable to bind ESXi vmnic for anything whatsoever. In addition, I tried to add an ESXi host to DVS without uplinks and obviously it worked. For example, it is a screenshot of vCenter Server Appliance 5.5 in the same window of uplinks. Servers is B200-M4 with VIC 1340 adapters to the chassis with modules e/s 2208XP. Is it possible to install vnic passthru vCSA 6.0u1b and ESXi 5.1/5.5 Server blades Cisco UCS?

  This is a bug of the vmware vsphere web 6.0 client, 6.0u1b, 6.0u2 and maybe later versions. It can not find or just cannot display the uplinks in ucs-associated distributed switch. so I could not add the host to the switch via vmware vsphere client web. uplinks in switch is very good, so this bug have several workaround solutions. host can be added to the distributed switch ucs related through:

  1. application of VMware vsphere client. It will automatically assign first free uplink in the switch and i/o directpath will work;
  2. profiles of the host. in this case I can attribute any any vmnic uplink as I want. This can be done in vsphere client of web as application of vmware vsphere client.
  3. client VMware console or sdk. I did not tried this case, but I guess it will work fine.
