• Integration of UCS with vSphere - invalid URI error

  Hello

  I fight to integrate the Manager UCS with vSphere vCenter.

  The extension of vCenter is exported from the UCSM without error, but when you try to install the plugin via vCenter plug-in Manager I get this error:

  "Invalid URI: the URI is empty.

  I found this on the web, but this brings me any more to solve the problem:

  Any tips?

  Kind regards

  Hi Radek,

  So as long as the file is saved in the folder plugins in vCenter, and they appear in the list of plugins, then that's all you need to do. You don't need to click on the 'Download and install' button as this will not work, because you have met. This is because it is a document XML allows to activate and validate your vCenter server and communication between UCS/Nexus 1000v. There is no practical application which is executed and must be installed.

  Hope that helps to clarify

  Thank you

• What management software is free with ESXi 4.0?  (re: vSphere, vCenter, etc.)

  I'm new and VMware ESXi, but I'm learning and I'd like to better understand the different management products available.

  I installed the free ESXi 4.0, so what software is available?  (free)

  (1) I can't download "vSphere Client" directly from my ESXi host.  Is this different than 'vSphere' from the VMware Web site?

  (2) what is the difference between vSphere and vSphere Remote Command Line Client?

  (3) I have free access to vSphere vCenter?  This is only used to manage multiple ESXi hosts at the same time?

  Thanks much for any help!

  One of the most interesting free tools from VMware is in my view VMware vSphere PowerCLI.

  vSphere 4 is a suite of products. vSphere client is a product of this suite.

  The host update is a utility that allows you to upgrade a vSphere (ESX or ESXi server) from one version to the other host. You don't need this if you start with the last update of the ESXi 4.0 version 2.

• Management of vSphere vCenter crash recovery

  hardware server vCenter failed and two vSphere server are always associated with this server.  You want to disassociate the two servers with the old VirtualCenter and establish a new connection with the new vCenter server.

  Environment:

  5.1 ESXi server (production)

  4.1 ESX Server (production)

  Server device (not longer exists / dead) vcenter 5.1 running on separate 5.1 ESXi Server

  Scenario:

  5.1 vCenter server to manage both production above vSphere servers.  The material which housed the vCenter server has failed and is unrecoverable.  Both servers are accessible through the vSphere client.

  The ESX 4.1 Server I get the text next message when you use the vSphere client: "this host is currently managed by the vCenter Server Server with the address IP X.X.X.X. changes to this host this session can now be reflected in sessions clients vSphere watching the vCenter Server.»  The management host, under the summary poster tab: "this host is currently managed by vCenter Server X.X.X.X..

  The ESXi server 5.1 has received the same message when you use the vSphere client until I chose an option under host of disassociate or disconnect with the vCenter Server Management (don't remember exactly what was the option).  It succeeded, to some extent.  When you connect to the server ESXi 5.1, it does not present the message indicated with the ESX 4.1 server.

  A different vCenter server has been installed in an attempt to restore a centralized without success.  Adding a server as a host to the data center generates the following error message: "failed to contact the specified host (serveur7). "The host may not be available on the network, is maybe a problem of network configuration or management on this host services may not respond.

  Objective:

  To dissociate the two servers with the old VirtualCenter and establish a new connection with the new vCenter server.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Can you confirm the new vCenter Server is properly registered in DNS and is able to resolve the names of domain the ESXi host's FULL name, i.e. settings of IP of the server vCenter, including its server DNS entry are correct? Are you able to connect hosts using their IP addresses, just to test if it works.

• with vSphere replication to replicate vCenter Server in a VM

  Hi guys,.

  I am trying to find some info on this. I currently have vCenter 5.5 running on a Windows 2008 R2 VM server. I was wondering can I use replication to replicate it in some shared storage for backup purposes, and if I had to lose it could I recover and this and be good to go? He runs a database integrated. or is it as AD/SQL/Exchange and in general you shouldn't use replication or something of the sort for them.

  Also, if I have reproduced on the recovering site, I could pick it up and re protect him using MRS. and migrate to the main site once I had everything back up and restart? Is there a difference if I ran the vCenter device instead of the version of Windows inside a virtual machine?

  My apologies if this has been answered before that somewhere, it just went through my mind randomly and Googling gives me really a lot of results, so if its been answered somewhere, please point me in that direction.

  Hello

  vSphere replication requires vCenter to function, you cannot use VR to protect it that you wouldn't have a way to recover, unless it has been replicated on a different vCenter (whereby it might be recovered, but only inside the other vCenter) or if it has been managed by a different vCenter.

  If you are in the second option, where you have a vCenter management appliance RV, and you have an another vCenter, so yes, you can use RS in this model to protect and auto restore your internal vCenter.

  No difference in the functionality between vCA and windows version of vCenter.

  As for your statement: "or is it as AD/SQL/Exchange and in general you shouldn't use replication or something of the sort for them."

  -vSphere replication supports VSS suspension

  -I'm Okay I wouldn't recommend AD replication (SQL and Exchange or if you can use the built in replication at the application level)

  -If you can not however, most modern applications work very well in a consistent state of crash (VR normal replication) and the rest works with VSS

  Hope that answers your questions

• vCenter Server 5.5 compatibility with vSphere 4 hypervisor

  I recently installed vCenter Server 5.5.0.5201 (with a Standard license valid vCenter) and I am trying to add the hosts to vCenter data center. I can connect successfully to the host but vSphere displays the following error:

  "The host is licensed with vSphere 4 hypervisor. The license of vCenter Server edition doesn't support vSphere 4 hypervisor. »

  Now I found the slot compatibility matrix and there clearly shows that vCenter 5.5 is compatible with all the way back to version 4 for ESXi. I must be missing something, can someone please clarify the question.

  

  I know that vSphere hypervisor and ESXi Server is essentially the same but vSphere hypervisor is the free version, so is there a difference that I know?

  This happens because you are using a free license on the ESXi 4.1 key.

  "The host is licensed with vSphere 4 hypervisor" means that it is a free ESXi. You will not be able to manage the free ESXi with vCenter.
  

• The downloaded update package cannot be used with vSphere VMware Update Manager

  Hello

  I am improving a system of vmware (Vcenter + 3 host) of 5.1 to 5.5

  I did a reinstall total Manager Vcenter and updated to version 5.5, using a new database.

  Then, I want to update my hosts with Update Manager.

  When I download VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 5.5.0 - 1331820.x86_64 in Update Manager, I get the message: cannot use the update package downloaded with vSphere VMware Update Manager

  
  

  I also tried to import VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 5.1 (Build: 1065491) but I get the same error

  In my view, the vmware KB2009812 is not applicable, because I've updated UDM first to 5.5

  Any idea?

• Operations Manager integration with vSphere Web Client

  Hello

  One of the new features that I keep seeing credited for vCenter Operations Manager v5.6 is 'integration with vSphere Web Client'.

  I went through the process of getting vCOps operational v5.6 (and everything works fine), but I don't see any integration with the Web Client.  Am I missing something obvious?  Where is the integration?  I have to do something to activate it?

  See you soon,.

  Take a look at the video on Eric Sloof vCOPS 5.6 integration with VMware vSphere Client Web blog post where he explains how to use the vCenter integration of Operations Manager with the Web Client vSphere.

• Update Manager 4.1 compatibility with VSphere 5

  I have not seen a version 5 for Update Manager, but the documentation for 4.1 says it works with VSphere at the same level (e.g. 4.1 works with VSphere 4).  4.1 Update Manager work with VSphere 5?  Thanks in advance.

  You can find Update Manager 5.0 in vCenter Server 5.0 installation package. Update Manager 4.1 can't handle the newer hosts.

• Problem with connecting to Vcenter, with vSphere ESX

  Hi, I'm going to start this discussion again.

  Initially, I set up a cluster with two ESX host and configured HA. VCenter is located on a virtual server on one of the ESX hosts.

  At this point, everything has worked, tested HA several times and worked perfectly. Two days later, I HAD to reinstall the Vcenter server. That's when it all started. I added successfully to the cluster hosts configured HA. and I tried to test HA. Restart the ESX host, vms where migrated and strted upward on the other server, BUT the server has been restarted never maid she return to Vcenter. I could connect to it via customer, but not hollow vSphere Vcenter. After much work, I tried to disable HA and reconnect the ESX. This finnaly worked. A configured HA once again on two ESX, worked. After another reboot, it's the same thing. I have tried to restart all services, seems to me that something is wrong with the HA agent. Is this a re-install of ESX servers using?

• Multi-NIC vMotion with ESXi/vCenter 4.1

  We take running ESXi and vCenter 4.1 and after the secure Channel secure Channel 5.5 class and sitting for my exam in a few weeks, I have actively tried to improve our environment. Previously, to the study and trying to learn more about VMware, we were in pretty bad condition. Relevant material (AMD, Intel CPU, generations of Intel CPU, amount of RAM and CPU), versions hyperviosr Mismatched ESXi and ESX and no redundancy, vmotion and TONS of snapshots as backups.

  In the two weeks since my course, I have eliminated all snapshots (performance daily vCheck to check on the health of the venvironment), emigrated to 5 similar hosts (and memory/cpu configurations) that we had to drag do not, connected to all ports card NETWORK 6 to 2 x 3560g cisco switches and connected the second switch updated ESX to ESXi 4.1 and patched all hosts with Update Manager (nobody used), created the host profiles and compliance on the cluster and hosts, activated DRS and HA, set up a couple of VAPP for STM systems... the list is long

  I still have a lot to learn, but now I'm a bit confused about one thing...

  We use Fibre Channel SAN, one side get our second Fibre Channel switch hooked up for redundancy and I guess that Multi - pathing (?) I have a couple questions question...

  1. set up the second fiber switch would give me several warehouses of data, correct paths?

  2 can I create and separate vMotion in our configuration, using the CF WITHOUT? Any flow of traffic (for vmotion) through the vswitches or he remains behind the FC switch?

  -I know with iSCSI, you want to create a vSwitche separated and installation multi-nic vmotion

  3. in the configuration of the redundant management interfaces do I need to create two vSwitches with vmkernel with separate IP addresses management ports or just create on vSwitch with a vmkernel port and two network cards is assigned to the (two different connected to 2 physical switches physical cards)?

  -We will most likely use VST if we can get the trunk ports to pass traffic defaullt VLAN, so I think it is still acceptable to create separate vSwitches for management, vMotion (if necessary because of the CF) and port VM group? The designs I see online usually use only a vSwitch for VST and multiple is.

  That's all I can think of for now... Just some things that need to be clarified on... I guess I still need a vSwitch vMotion (allocate 2 of 6 network adapters in it) because some type of traffic would pass over him, but I think that most of the vMotion and all the SvMotion would remain behind the FC switch.

  Thanks for any help!

  With regard to the topic of discussion: Multi-NIC vMotion introduced with vSphere 5.x and is not available in earlier versions.

  1.) Multipathing is not related the number of FC switches, but only for the number of initiator and target. However, using several CF toggle availability increases due to redundancy.

  2.) you must differentiate here. vMotion is a live VM migration process to other hosts, i.e. only the workload of the migration. vMotion only uses the network. Storage vMotion on the other side generally used storage connections - i.e. the CF in your case - to migrate files/folders to the virtual machine.

  3.) redundancy for management traffic can be reached in several ways. The easiest is to simply assign multiple uplinks (vmnic) to vSwitch network management. So, a simple 'Netowrk management' will do, and redundancy is made based on recovery of the vSwitch.

  From a design point of view you can use multiple vSwitches for different traffic types, or combine them on a vSwitch by configuring the failover policies for groups (Active/Standby/Unused) port for example.

• Error 25003 When vSphere Update Manager installation

  Hello everyone

  I have a problem install vSphere Update Manager 5.5 on a Windows 2008 R2 server and I do not really get around it.

  During the installation of the Update Manager, I get the following error:

  Error 25003. To create database tables, the installation failed.

  This happens on the installation task "Repository of database creation of VMware vSphere Update Manager".

  I know that this error has already been discussed. It seems that this error happens mainly when you are using a remote SQL database. That's what I'm NOT.

  My environment is that a domain joined Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard in English. We use the vCenter Server Appliance, so there is no database present on this server. Only, I begin the installation of the Update Manager and use the option to automatically install an instance of SQL Express. Then, this error occurs.

  I did another installation of Manager Update on another site without any error.

  No clue as to what might cause this error?

  Thank you very much

  René

  Yes, I tried.

  During this time, I understood what causes problems. This server is a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard in English, but with Turkish regional settings.

  This locale cause Update Manager produce this Error 25003. Once I changed all the English locale and rebooting the server, then install flawlessy.

  This error seems to be known by VMware, but only for vCenter Server installation. VUM also seems to be affected.

  Thanks anyway...

• New vSphere/vCenter installation problems

  Hi all

  User of long date, but first time poster, so go easy on me.

  So I hit a bit of a weird situation here, I am currently working on a vSphere environment completely new to replace our existing (don't ask, long story).

  Through the documentation and also various other stuff on the web I came with the plan went forward and installation:

  Here's what I did:

  2 separate servers involved, 1 for vcenter server and 1 for the SQL database

  Installation of SQL and ready to go with 2 DB created RSA and VCDB, entry with relevant permissions.

  After installing TS for authentication UNIQUE I went ahead with the installation of SINGLE sign-on, it went through fine. Service accounts used as required and set password, research service sdk admin@System-Domain responds in a browser, etc. etc.

  I then installed the service of inventory, as it went through fine.

  Then, I installed the web client of vsphere that even once went well, and I was able to connect with the admin@System-Domain above account and find that the discovery of AD was detected successfully our field. Large.

  I then added an ad group to the __Administrators__ SSO group. This ad group contains my admin account, after which I was able to connect to the web client with my account.

  
  Then, I went through installing vCenter server, using the relevant service accounts and connections of databases etc. I used the ad group that I added to the PSO previously for the last step. This completed without error.

  I am now to connect on the web client again, with my account, manage vcenter nothing helps...

  The vCenter server does not appear in the drop-down list in the Administration or in the vcenter section lists. Also, I can not connect to vcenter using the thick client (c#).

  My first thought was that it has not registered with the service of inventory, but I have since reinstalled vCenter Server and installing it told me that there is already a vcenter Server present (I want to delete).

  Anyone have any ideas about where to go from here?

  Thank you

  Jon

  I thought account and you know I had at the bottom of the issue, it was around the fact that our AD has been organized where users and groups are in different locations, and automatically detected in SSO AD settings were not return users correctly. Strange, I know, but it seems that deletion and recreation detected entries with Group dn channels that everything fell into place and slightly modified basic user.

  I thought it was strange to have made this Setup countless times without this kind of question.
