• Error 1067 by starting the VMware Virtual Center Server service after the upgrade to VCenter 4.1

  I've started with VCenter 4.0 update online success in 4.1u1

  but now I can not start the service with Error 1067 by starting the VMware Virtual Center Server service.

  I did the upgrade online in VCenter 4.1u1 with this iso file VMware-VIMSetup-all - 4.1.0 - 345042.iso and now the entire production is declining.

  I use SQL Server 2005 32-bit as the database.

  Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated please?

  I guess it's all true by:

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1022104

  http://www.VMware.com/support/vSphere4/doc/vsp_vc41_u1_rel_notes.html

  And what exactly is a failure, is the DB on a different server or living on the vCenter Server?

• XP Service Pack 3 VDI model - deployment use and Windows XP Service Pack 2 deployment tools?  VMWare View, virtual center of customization specification Manager.

  I'm setting up a VMWare View deployment and I need to configure Performance Manager in Virtual Center Customization Tools.  Use the deployment tools XP Service Pack 2 for my model pack 3 XP service or do I have to download SP 3 tools?  Documentation on the internet points to SP 2 tools, but I can't find a definitive answer for XP SP 3 machines.

  I don't think anything changed in Sysprep between XP SP2 and SP3 of XP.  I use Sysprep in an XP SP2 CD deploy.cab file to customize my XP SP3 image with no problems.  You should be able to use Sysprep tools on the CD for SP2 for your model.

• Considerations of Design for the U1 Virtual Center 6.0

  I look at the deployment options in my environment and the plan initially to resist a LAB environment. I was looking at the possibility of defending the VCSA "LAB" with HA PSC behind and F5 load balancing. My question / concerns are I will be at a later date connect you to windows or virtual VCSA in this HA PSC environment? I know that you cannot mix windows and the PSC system, but I think that you should not have problems connecting a virtual center of windows to VCSA PSC? I hope that what I am asking is logical...

  "vCenter Server Deployment Models" > "mixed operating system environment' > 'Eexample of a mixed environment of operating systems with a device of service of external platform controller' section of the documentation of vSphere 6 have answers to your question." " It goes the same for environmental HA PSC behind F5.

• Beyond the performance data not available to a host through Virtual Center

  
  Hello

  I have an ESXi host that relates to the ' No Data Available ' under his paw through Virtual Center performance. Fine appears real-time performance data, but the latest data are not appear and give the error as "No Data Available".

  Within the cluster of 4 hosts, alone is to have the point above. Others are appearing fine performance data.

  In another cluster host ESXi too connected to the same vCenter, I see one of the host is to have a similar question.

  I checked:

  • All work Rollup SQL is run successfully the default schedule.
  • Restarted vpxa service connection to the host directly using the vsphere client.

  I followed the KB article http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2007388 . as suggested in the article when I run the Sub SQL query I see there is no data within who. 

  exec sp_spaceused vpx_hist_statx

  name	lines	reserved	data	index_size	unused
  VPX_HIST_STAT1	NULL VALUE	NULL VALUE	NULL VALUE	0 KB	0 KB

  The output is similar (no data) if I run these queries:

  exec sp_spaceused vpx_hist_stat2

  exec sp_spaceused vpx_hist_stat3

  exec sp_spaceused vpx_hist_stat4

  Current configuration:

  ESXi 5.1.0 799733

  vCenter Server 5.1.0 Build 1123961

  Please help solve this.

  I actually planned for the downtime of the host and restarted it.

  Although loading performance data now.

  Thank you!

• Connect hosts vSphere 4.1 again Virtual Center 5.0?

  We have Virtual Center 4.1 and all our hosts vSphere 4.1.

  I want to install a new VC 5.0 with dvSwitch 4.1.

  Then I whant to disconnect our hosts vSphere 4.1 4.1 VC, and reconnect them to our VC 5.0.

  I have not created any dvSwitch on the new VC 5.0.

  When I reconnect hosts vSphere 4.1 to the new VC 5.0, are the old dvSwitches then created 4.1 on the new VC 5.0, so I did not need to create them, before I have to reconnect?

  When you create the vDS on the new vCenter you will need to create it as a 4.1 vDS your host still being 4.1.

  You must disconnect and remove your host of your old VC (and former vDS) and then an add-in host on the new Victoria Cross.  After you have added the host of the new Victoria Cross you need to connect them to the new vDS.

  Best thing maybe create standard switches on hosts and migrate all your VMS and vmks to that.  Unplug and remove from current VC.  Add the host to the new CR.  Set and migration of networks to vDS.  This will reduce also any potential stop (against briefly during the network of back migration service VDS standard).

  Hope that makes sense.

• Virtual Center records the path

  I have my virtual center installed on a separate physical server from 2003.  When I installed it, I indicated to install on one different partition (e) other than the boot drive (c :)).  Disk space on the C: progressed for some time now, and I noticed there are about $ 3 of newspapers on C:\Documents and Settings\All Users Application Data VMware concert.  He would be allowed to move to E: or even to delete these log files?  Can I make the Virtual Center Server to put logs on E: instead?

  Hello.

  See KB 1009145.  For step 4, I stop the vCenter Server service, move the active log directory, and then restart the VirtualCenter Server service.

  Good luck!

• How to upgrade from Virtual Center 2.5 + SQL Server 2000 to vCenter 4.1 + SQL Server 2008 (R2)?

  I plan the upgrade of an existing VMware Infrastructure 3 (Virtual Center 2.5 + ESX 3.5) to vSphere 4.1, and I'm stuck in the Virtual Center Server upgrade and its back-end database.

  vSphere 4.1 is released only as a 64-bit software, so he needs a x 64 O.S.; This excludes an upgrade the existing server on-site.

  The plan is to install a new Server Windows Server 2008 R2 with SQL Server 2008 (or 2008 R2 if taken in charge), migrate the database and install 4.1 on the server vCenter.

  The question: How can I migrate the database?

  When you perform an upgrade of Virtual Center vCenter 4.0 on-site, the database is automatically upgraded; but this isn't the case when you install a new server.

  VMware provides a utility to clear the existing database and import it into a new server, but it works only for SQL Server Express (which according to VMware must not be used in medium/large production environments); If this is not an option.

  I am unable to find a support procedure to perform this migration.

  Can someone please help?

  Massimo,

  I just went through it and found it to be a little pain simply because I forgot to VMware document simplicity...

  You are right, the 'migration' tool does support SQL Server Express, I don't know why and niether are the two VMware Tech Support Agents I spoke with.

  To anyone reading this. NOTE If you perform the upgrade / migration SQL Server Express via the Migration tool you MUST check the registry DbServerType key FIRST! If it is set on Custom Migration tools will ignore simply stages of database! See this VMware KB article for more information:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=1024380

  Yes, it is the States 'failure', what he does not say, it is that the Migration tool will be 'Silencieusement Skip' your database.

  End of Migration tools do call a standard SQL Server T - SQL backup command. YAY! You don't have to upgrade your existing 32-bit vCenter Server, do first just in case backup/snapshot, then run through the upgrade as if you were going to use the 32-bit version in production. This step will apply to any database schema change.

  Build your brilliant new 64-bit server, install all of the bits and then use SQL Server Management Studio to make a backup of SQL Server 32-bit database and then restore it on your new 64-bit server. NOTE: Make sure that all SQL and vCenter services are stopped before proceeding with the backup and restore of the measures.

  After the restoration of the SQL on your new server it reboot and everything will come back to life just as it is only now with all 64 bit!

  Hope this Helps!

  Yes, I stopped services.  Also, see this KB, http://kb.vmware.com/kb/7960893 , it may be useful

  you do not have IIS installed and running on your vCenter host do you have? If so, turn it off, restart the Web Services vCenter and try again.
