• Clone between data centers and through the firewall?

  I have a VC that manages 8 virtual data centers.  Some of these data centers are on a dish network, and some are in a demilitarized zone.  Even if the storage is NOT shared between data centers, I am able to clone a VM between data on food networks centers but I cannot clone between a data center on a dish network and the other in a demilitarized zone.

  Is there a specific port that must be open to clone through a firewall, or I wouldn't be able to do this.

• Using CLI, I would clone a virtual machine between different data centers

  Hello!!

  We have two data centers.

  We want to clone a virtual of DataCenter1 to DataCenter2 machine.

  We cannot with vSphere.

  Does anyone know how we can do this? any idea?

  Thank you very much

  Jose.

  Cloning is a feature of vCenter Server, not a host ESX (i). You need to connect to vCenter, that's why you get the error because this operation is not supported in a host ESX (i)

• How to migrate exadata overall in data centers?

  How to migrate exadata overall in data centers? Forklift (lift & shift) is only option for this kind of migration since we are talking about migration unit?

  Best practices/experiences around these migrations?

  Thank you

  Aerts

  Hello

  We recently had a data center move and moved some exadata machines to a new location.

  There are a few things to consider before the move is going;

  (1) prepare the network on the new data center and make sure all connectivity (for example, you can remote access to it) work.  In our case, the new centre has same network IPs.

  (2) download the seller who transported material Machines.

  (3) on the last day before moving, stop the Exadata Machine (close the database, RAC nodes db stop, knots of cell, endless tape etc...)

  (4) turn off the Exadata Machine

  (5) disconnect all network cables.

  (6) let the equipment cool.

  (7) transportation to the new location and move the machine to fix the Bay and wait for the machines to be acclimated

  (8) connect the network cables.

  (9) power on Exadata.

• I need to move a virtual machine on data centers in two different sites at the regional level.

  I'm under VMware Virtual Center 2.5 and ESX server 3.5. I have 2 data centers in two different sites at the regional level. If the material could not be more distinct. The virtual machine is a complicated web server while it takes move rather than be rebuilt. I've heard of process not VM to get there, but it would be nice to have a process of VMware.

  Can anyone offer some advice for a newbe?

  Good luck buddy!

• How to create the new folder in the title of data centers

  I have a data center called 'DR', which I can't seem to create a folder under the root with PowerCLI. Whenever I try to try: new-folder-name-location Test (Get-Data Center DR) it does not place the folder everywhere perceptible in the GUI. I only see it if I do: Get-folder or Get-file-name Test.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  You are in the computers view virtual and models of vSphere Client by chance?  Because the file is not there.  It'll be in the hosts and Clusters discovered.  You can tell by the 'Id' of the folder property in your screenshot.  The 'h' in "File-group-h265" essentially tells the view of "Hosts and Clusters".  You should see a 'v' here instead of him was in the models and virtual computers discovered.  An excerpt from the "New folder" command help page for help:

  -Map

  Specify a container object (for example, a folder, a list of resources and so etc.) where you want to place the new folder. If a data center is specified for the - Location parameter, then the file is created in the folder "hostFolder" and contains hosts and clusters. The "hostFolder" is a system folder and is guaranteed to exist.

  Since a data center can contain folders, objects VM and host and cluster, you must specify what "view" to create your folder in.  There are some files hidden (for lack of a better term) that technically the child objects are data centers.  We're called 'vm' and another is called 'host '.  So, if you were to run this command:

  Get-Folder vm
  

  You should get a record returned for each datacenter, you (and all the folders that you simply named 'vm' because the folder names need not be unique).  You could also run ' host of Get-file ' and also to get a folder of "host and Cluster view" for each datacenter you have.

  Given that the cmdlet New-folder by default is the 'host' of the data center specified folder, a way you could force it to be created in the "vm" folder with a command like this:

  Get-Folder vm | ?{$_.Parent.Name -eq "DR"} | New-Folder "YourNewFolderName"
  

  Maybe it's not the quickest way to accomplish the task, but it should work for you, assuming that my intuition need you according to the evil the vSphere Client inventory is correct, of course.

• Merger of two data centers separated with a different license.

  Due to the fusion of the IT departments, we have two data centers and vCenter servers.  The IP network is a network of flat class.  ISCSI are on two physically separate networks.

  Data Center 1 (DC1)

  vCenter Foundation 5.5

  3 hosts vSphere 5 Enterprise (6 cpu)

  1 series 6200 Equallogic SAN

  Data Center 2 (DC2)

  vCenter 5.1 Standard

  2 hosts vSphere 5 Enterprise (4 cpu)

  1 SAN Equallogic 4000 series

  We would like to:

  1. move the Standard of DC2 on DC1 and the license to the Foundation from DC1 to DC2 (Swap licenses)
  2. import of DC2 in vCenter on DC1 and then unmold on DC2 Foundation license.
  3. Finally have two data centers operating from DC1 vCenter running Standard Edition 5.5

  Is this possible at all?  How would we do this.

  Thanks in advance

  With licenses owned by the same company, the steps you mentioned should be ok.

  However, from a technical point of view, you can plan the migration according to the features you use. A few things you can do is to disable HA and DRS on DC2 environment before migrating the hosts to DC1 (just to avoid potential problems), and you can also make sure for example on DC2 data store names do not match the names on DC1 to avoid confusion after the migration.

  Unless the special functions are used on DC2 which must be supported before the migration, you can simply unplug the hosts of DC2 and add them to a DC1 with operational virtual machine. Host CPU licenses must move automatically with the hosts.

  PS: TheSMO: licenses are based on major versions, i.e. 5.x., so there is no need to up - or their decommissioning in this case.

• Clone a model on multiple data centers

  So here's the scenario:

  In my vcenter, there are two data centers. In a Datacenter (B), that we have our systems development and the other data center (A) are our production environments. Must often make a clone of a (B) VM and clone a VM (A) through. We have a process of the method we use to move our VMs. I'm powerCLI throughout the process in order to save on some manual cloning time. This is our process:

  1 clone a VM (B) direct and take from the Datacenter (B) under the "DEV" folder, under this is a subfolder 'AppServer' where the virtual machine "DevAPP" exists and it a clone of this subfolder in another subfolder in 'AppServer' also called ' ~ DEV (B) to (a) staging of Clone.

  2. once the clone "Date of DevApp_today" is realized in the "~ DEV (B) to (a) staging of Clone" remove us the NIC 1 and then convert it to a template.

  3. once it is converted to a template with the name 'Date of DevApp_today' clone us over the back (B) data center "~ DEV (B) to a Clone (A) Organization" (A) record data center "(B) to (a) staging of Clone.

  4. once the 'Date of DevApp_today' model in the data center (A) convert us into a virtual machine and and add the NIC, assign VLAN appropriate and then activate connected to power on.

  5. once the network card on the virtual computer we then convert back to a model and deploy him 11 VMs with the customization files to configure the virtual machine.

  Most of the time steps 1 and 2 I can script fairly easily, and the 4 and 5, my biggest problem is step 3. What I've tried is by using the New-model command.

  Example: New-model -model 'Date of DevApp_today' -location a Datacenter in English (common name) VMHost - $HostA (a host in A data center) -data store $Data (storage in A data center) DiskStorageFormat - Thin -RunAsync-confirm: $false

  It works to get the center of data (B) (A) data center model, but he falls into the root of the data center (A). I know it's because in - place I put 'A' there, but I do not know in any case to decompose from there to drill down to the data center (A) subfolders. If I put the subfolder "(A) (B) (a) staging of Clone" it's all just a stink about how I already have a template of this name and it must be cloned in the same data center. Meanwhile once it reaches the root of (A) I have just run a Move inventory on the template to move to "(B) to (a) Clone staged."

  I have necessarily need a whole script created for me, I just want to know how to move the model obtained in (B) (a) without him having to be abandoned in the root (A), move inventory

• vSphere data centers

  What are the guidelines / best practices when separated data centers to be used in vSphere?

  Thank you

  network traffic would be depends on how you have your configuration of VLAN.  Don't forget it's just a virtual data center, it does not isolate anything by default.

  For permissions, I prefer to use folders (models and virtual computers), and then assign roles and permissions to the folders.

• VMotion between data centers

  We are constructing a new environment VI 3.5 that will match our new approved conformity existing SOPS all of the virtual machine in the environment will have to be moved off the power as soon as the new cluster\datacenter is built.  I am trying to determine the practical way of best\most to do - what I'm basically not clear is if I can migrate a virtual machine between 2 data centers or not.

  Any help on how best to do that is very appreciated-

  wouldn't that be nice.  You can always stop the virtual machine and a cold migration.

• Using node NHP groups in multiple data centers

  Hello

  I was looking for information, I'll implement a distributed deployment of ISE.   We have two data centers, each will have its own group of PSN node (load balancing), I need a strategy where we can ensure that all the DNA do not point to a single group of PSN node.  In the config switch that I only noticed that the radius server registration option where first is referenced and secondary IP is used only if the primary Radius Server is unavailable.  We have many sites of the direction we want to deploy ISE, we would like to distribute the RADIUS AuthC/AuthZ evenly between the two DC.

  Thank you

  -Amin

  Just so we are clear, ISE node groups did not-load balancing, you need a for this external load balancer. If you are actually using a balancer for each domain controller, then you might have half of your switches just manually use a vip for primary and secondary school, and the other half upside down. Also, if you use aaa server groups in your switch, you can also do a local switch 'balancing', based on the current session how are radius on each server in the group.

• Custom data centers

  I created several CDC that we use for the management of capacity, but recently noticed that it does not automatically update with the new groups added to the environment in. Does anyone know how I can get a CDC auto add new members in the area which I define as my CDC

  Here it is my CDC production and as you can see the new cluster its not added. It doesn't seem to be a parent object that I can select (in this case windows or linux) that will automatically add new groups

  

  Today, custom data centers do not have an automatic fill criteria are met that statically. However, I agree with you that it would be an advantage to have this capability, similar to the how custom groups to have rulesets. Others that the obvious benefits of Datacenter Custom ojcts be exploited with WLP capabilities, I use these global organizational construction groups of cluster for the analysis of high level. This high-level analysis is in the form of capacity planning, calculation, efficiency and so on. This cap of model capabilities are not present in custom groups (CGs simply show the distribution of the population), which make the data centres custom unique positions for the aggregation of CLuster and analysis without the need to be creative with the SMs and the views to try to make them 'cap-model-like.

• Failed to create the gateway for virtual data center edge

  Hello

  I'm new to the vCD, when I tried to create a "bridge of edge" for the virtual data center, it failed, saying:

  Deployment of edge gateway PALEdgeGateway has failed.

  com.vmware.vcloud.fabric.nsm.error.VsmException: error response VSM (10105): could not publish configuration on vShield Edge. Has no power on VM vse-PALEdgeGateway (66b92dc1-c973-4744-8c0e-88e2d2211eae)-0. (No host is compatible with virtual machine).

  then I found this KB, suspecting that vShield that Manager is not synchronized with vCD:

  http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2060542

  I followed the steps in this KB resolution, but still did not work.

  Does anyone have an idea? Thank you very much!

  (We use vCloud Director 5.5.0 1323688, vSphere Client 5.5.0 1281650)

  Hi FredrickGu,

  Really sorry for the late reply. Our working hours doesn't seem to be the same.

  You are right that VShield Manager & POSSIBLE are the same. You will be able to deploy the Cluster edges & host view,

  Select a resource of data centers in the inventory tree, click the visualization of network tab and click the + to add edges. Ensure that we test the edge deployment against a successful VCD Host.If deployment works, it confirms the deployment of edge is certainly intact and communication POSSIBLE-host is very well.

• Is it possible to migrate ESXi host between data centers, if so please provide a brief not

  Hi friends,

  1. is it possible to migrate ESXi host between data centers, if so please provide a brief walking distance.

  2 can we perform vMotion and Storage vMotion while ESXi is turned on.

  3. is it possible to extend the VMDK disk while it integrates snapshots in it.

  Best regards,

  Sirot Vijay

  Yes the vmotion and svmotion works but one by one.

  1 - vmotion is posssible to power on State, but you can't svmotion the vm simultaneously. The storage will remain same

  2 svmotion is also possible to power on the State, but you cannot vmotion virtual machine simultaneously. the host will remain the same.

  3 vmotion and svmotion is possible together when the vm is off power. the host and storage can be changed simultaneously on this State.

• Copy of models between data centers

  Hello

  I have a couple of VM being cloned to models. These models need to be copied in other data centers VMWare. I got it all to a using PowerCLI PowerShell script. If I understand well I can't do just a simple copy of a data center to another. First of all, I need to upload the template, then download to the data center target to get these models where they do.

  Does anyone have an idea how I could do this task and it is able to be accomplished using PowerCLI?

  TIA

  OK, you could do something in this direction.

  $vmName = "MyVM.

  $templateName = "template".

  $tgtDC = "dc".

  $dc = get-data center-name $tgtDC

  # Get the VM source

  $vm = get-VM-name $vmName

  # Clone VM and move it to the target DC

  New-VM - $vm - name $templateName VM | Move-VM-Destination $dc

  # Convert the VM cloned a model of
