• Get "unable to install the VirtualCenter Agent service" on ESX 2.5.4 after the upgrade of the VC to 2.5 update3

  I have improved my Virtual Center 2.5 to 2.5 update 3. After doing this, I have 2 of my ESX v2.5.4 servers which will not reconnect.

  I get the error message "Unable to install the VirtualCenter Agent service". I also see "the connection failed due to a bad user name or password" showing upwards in the list of tasks of VC. I don't know that I type in the good user/pass as I turn around tight and SSH on the server using the same user/pass.

  I tried to do "service vmware-vpxa restart" on the hosts. What log file I look in upon the host server to find the real problem, and is there any other suggestions on a quick fix to try before the word is supported?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Resolution

  Cause

  This problem can occur if an ESX host's IP address is changed while being managed by vCenter Server.

  Check the cause

  To check the cause of the problem:

  1. Log in as root to the ESX host using a SSH client.
  1. In the file etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg, find the IP address of the host. The entry looks like:

     
     10.21.48.121
     

     Note: for more information about editing the files, see installation in VMware ESX configuration files (1017022).

  Troubleshooting

  If the IP address is incorrect, perform the following steps in order. If the operation does not resolve the problem, continue to the next step. Don't skip a step.

  1. Disconnect and then reconnect the host:
  1. Right click on the ESX host in vCenter Server and click Disconnect.
  1. Reconnect the ESX host in vCenter Server.
  1. Restart the VirtualCenter agent on the ESX host:
  1. Stop the service of vpxa with the command:

     # service vmware-vpxa stop

  1. Open the /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg file in a text editor and correct the IP address of the ESX host.
  1. Start the service of vpxa with the command:

     # service vmware-vpxa start

     Note: for VMware ESXi, you may have to restart all the management agents. For more information, see restart the agents on an ESX or ESXi Server (1003490) management .

  1. Rebuild the VirtualCenter agent on the ESX host configuration file:

     Attention: this step removes all the Statistics counters historical host and the virtual machine. If VMware ESX host is running in virtual machines that starts in a permitted CVS environment, you maybe won't be able to add the host without stopping the virtual machines first.

  1. Right click on the ESX host in vCenter Server and click Disconnect.
  1. Remove the ESX host disconnected from vCenter Server.
  1. Backup the file vpxa.cfg with the command:

     # mv /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.oldcfg

  1. Add the ESX host disconnected to the server vCenter inventory.
  1. Run the following command to view the contents of /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg and confirm that the host IP address is correct:

     # cat /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Let me know if you need to work as well with more information.

  Thank you!

  BOE

  It is an ugly one. At least a restart if not re-install. To minimize downtime, you can close out of virtual machines to the inventory and put them on another host/cluster.

• ESXi disconnects from the vCenter

  Hello VMware,

  I have some problems with ESXi 4.1.0 (Build 260247) disconnect vCenter. I am currently evaluating Vmware View. I have no problem connecting to an ESX host to vcenter. When connecting vCenter ESXi host host will connect for about a minute and then disconnect. VCenter, Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and ESXi host is all on the same network without any firewall between the two.

  I have an I tried by using the knowledge base article titled "Diagnose an ESX Server that is offline or does not respond in VirtualCenter" without success. I can connect the ESXi host with ssh and ping various servers on the network using dns and ip addresses.

  Is attached a copy of the message, pass and vxpa journal of the ESXi host.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated .

  Since the log files, it seems that you use vServers 4.0.

  Section for VMware VirtualCenter Agent, pid = 56646, version 4.0.0 build = build-208111 =, = exit option

  The host ESX (i) 4.1 require vCenter Server 4.1, this is why you must upgrade to vCenter Server to make it work.

• Permit required?

  Hello

  Not sure that this is right forum. Need for a forum of the license, but there is no such person.

  Any body can help me?

  I have strings of software below to "Add/Remove Programs", and now I need to choose those that require a license / who can be labeled "commercial".

  I just spent ages looking for VMware client on the internet so see if they need an ilcense or if they are grouped. wihtout luck. So I can see it will take me forever.

  So please, you can search the application that are 'bought' / commercial (and the rest will be then marked as "delivered".)

• issue of license and version

  I installed the download infrastructure 3.5 but when I go to the Client from VMware infrastructure and go to help, about, he mentions VMware Infrastructure Client 2.5.0 and VMware VirtualCenter 2.5.0.  Is this correct?

  Also, I have company of issuing licenses and in the Configuration, features licensed, it shows the "license server" correctly listed, he said ESX Server Standard is approved for 2 CPUs, but he said always 57 days remaining on the upper right of the GUI and it says "unemployed" for the VirtualCenter Agent for ESX Server.

  I have something incorrect installation?

  Search for your data through the VIC warehouses, look at the name of the folder of your template.  In there, you will see a .vmtx file.  Right click on it and "add to the inventory.

• Question about VMware Foundation Acceleration Kit

  Sorry if this is a stupid question, I don't get frequent on licenses for the stuff. Ive looked at the PDF licenses and below shows the paragraph that confuses me a little. The Foundation acceleration Kit only allows you to run ESXi?

  Ive got 2 sites that I need installation, one with 1 x VC server. 2 x with 2 x cpus esx hosts each and another site running a different copy of VC, 1 host ESX x with 2 x CPus.

  What would be the best option?

  +

  VMware Infrastructure 3 Foundation acceleration Kit

  +

  includes three licenses of VMware Infrastructure 3 Foundation.

  It's VMware ESXi, VMware Consolidated Backup,

  VMware Update Manager VMware Virtual SMP, VMware

  VMware VMFS and VirtualCenter agent. They also include

  Server VMware VirtualCenter Foundation, which provides

  VMware Guided Consolidation and the ability to manage up to

  three hosts Server VMware Infrastructure 3.

  Non-it allows you to run ESX or ESXi - the only thing you need is another license server VC since the acceleration kit only comes with one license of VM - Foundation

• Path to upgrade VMware ESXi Management Kit

  I am interested in the offer of VMware ESXi Management Kit, but want to know if it will work with our plans for the future. I am particularly interested in the vCenter Foundation to allow us to track the performance of the server.

  At the moment we have an ESXi server and could get a second in the near future. End of the year, however, we plan to invest in standard with HA or possibly Enterprise with VMware vMotion. That we will be able to use the Foundation of this package vCenter in this future configuration? The host licenses are only for ESXi and we will have to buy new ones? If we do not upgrade vCenter or host is a way of evolution at discount prices or we will have to buy new ones?

  Budget is a problem then if we cannot reuse this in our final configuration so I won't be able to justify the cost.

  Thank you.

  vCenter Foundation lets you connect an ESX host 6CPU value.  Is not serious ESXi or ESX.  If you use two connectors boxes, then as soon as you add a 4th host computer, you will need to update your vCenter license.  There is a reference number which allows a foundation upgrade to vCenter Standard.  What it is offhand, I don't know, but your dealer can help you with that.

  In regard to 'free' with vCenter ESXi usage, you can not.  You must register (at least) Foundation for each ESX/ESXi host, you want to manage via vCenter.  Pay the $995 (list price) gets you the "VirtualCenter Agent" that is needed to connect to vCenter.  Note: You can install ESXi, play with it for as long as you want, but once you want to attach to vCenter, you will need the license... but there is No change to the ESXi host... you just load the license file in vCenter and you'll be all set.

  Hope that helps!

• Cannot add host esx VC2.5

  Hi all

  I'm having a problem to add the new host of esx 3.5 U3 to VC2.5. The VC and esx server are the new facility. They both connect to the same subnet.

  The Victoria Cross error message is "impossible to install the virtualcenter agent service".

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Take a look at this.

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/4223326

  If this does not help then you will have to manually copy this vpxa strenuous VC server to ESX Server and install it.

• Agent backup and VirtualCenter Server on the same computer?

  It's maybe a stupid question but I in the phases of planning for virtualization of a bunch of servers I know none better yet.

  We will use Tivoli Storage Manager for snapshot backups and files.

  Can I have the same physical machine Act to the virtual host and backup VCB agent or if it was a separate machine?

  We will have 2 LUNS on an iSCSI Equalogic PS500X and 10-12 VMS box.

  Thank you

  Jeff

  It is possible, but not recommended.  This was taken from the VCB release notes:

  VirtualCenter 2.5 and Consolidated Backup can coexist on the same system. However, because the Consolidated Backup proxy has to be locked down as much as possible, VMware does not recommend this configuration.
