• Change the password for the Active Directory account that is running VMware VirtualCenter Server

  We have an ESXi5.5 environment and I was instructed to change the password of the Active Directory account is used to run the VMware VirtualCenter Server Service.

  There is a Data Source configured for a separate MS - SQL Server that is configured to use Windows authentication

  I find the Article KB KB VMware: changing the vCenter Server database user ID and password

  On the key: KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc., \VMware VirtualCenter\DB T HE for 2 and 3 values are empty

  It is not quite clear to me if the vpxd.exe Pei command is necessary for our environment (service AD account and Windows authentication) or if it is only if SQL authentication is defined on the Data Source - would anyone have experience with this change and be able to clarify for me?

  Thank you

  Yes you are right,

  but I would suggest to stop the services first before you do the activity, it can take the old password in a few times and lock the conduit to account

  2. once the password is updated, make sure that the login account is updated (is currently running services on the specified user account or local account?)

  If it runs using the specified account, you will need to updated and restart the services.

  3. make sure that the services are running fine and observe for a while, the user account must not get locked.

  Let me know if you have any other questions

• The VMware VirtualCenter Server service stopped with the error service special 2 (0x2).

  I tried all listed in other postings, but our VSphere 4 server resides on a SQL server server.

  I tested the connection odbc with the SA password and it works, it rebooted several times now, tried to stop all services and bringing up one at a time, but whenever a dependency is not. I get this error in the system log, the VMware VirtualCenter Server service stopped with the error service special 2 (0x2).

  And

  VMware VirtualCenter Management Web Services service depends on the VMware VirtualCenter Server service which failed to start because of the following error:

  The service has returned a service-specific error code.

• Questions about the location of the VirtualCenter Server

  Hello

  We tested VMware for about 6 months now and we're finally ready to go into production.   We currently have 2 data centers and we start in the small office.  Not sure if the WAN speed connection between the, but it's enough through the Cisco CallManager.

  My question is that Dell says that we only on the VirtualCenter (vCenter Server) server on our main site.  I understand that VirtualCenter can monitor up to 200 guests ESX (with VC 2.5 which we are currently running).  I was wondering just is a common practice that most of the people do, just 1 VirtualCenter Server?  I was just worried about latency when creating virtual machines, scan LUNs, etc..

  In addition, we would carry out a VCB server on the 2nd site with the ESX hosts.  Is it still viable to have the VirtualCenter 1 server at a remote site?

  Basically, I just need something contrete for management.  The only thing that I could find VMware came from my binder of class who said: "the bandwidth required for communications between the Virtual Center Server and the host is very small."

  Thanks for your help.

• Using Get-VMHost connected to an ESX vs. host connected to a VirtualCenter Server

  Hello

  The script here returns a list of paths storage dead but only works when you run against an ESX host. How can I adjust it to report on all ESX hosts, managed by a VirtualCenter Server?

  $vc = Read-Host "enter the name or the IP address of your server VC."

  SE connect-VIServer-Server $vc

  Get-VMHost | Get-ScsiLun | Get-scsilunpath | Select Lunpath, Preferred SanID |

  where {$_.} SanId - ine $null - and $_. State - eq 'Dead'}

  Disconnect-VIServer-confirm: $false

  I guess this is a loop in the sense of 'ForEach' ($VMhosts in Get-VMHost), but have been unable to come up with the appropriate syntax.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you!

  Shaped more away from the exit (separation of the column, frame, color...), you will need to use the HTML formatting.

• Can I use Lab Manager with VirtualCenter Server Foundation

  Hi, now I'm choosing the license type for my gateway.

  Regarding now I can't manage through Virtual Center more than 3 knots.

  But I have a question. Can I use VirtualCenter Server Foundation License with VMware Lab Manager 3.0?

  You can use vCenter Server Foundation with PF3. We currently have 3 standard ESX licenses and a vCenter Server Foundation and it works very well. The only limitation is that you cannot manage more than 3 guests, but in your case it does not appear that it will be a problem.

• Toolkit and remote sql server DB

  I have an application that creates a table and inserts the table entries (~ 15 fields of strings and numbers), it works properly when you speak to a local sql server express labview and the db toolkit.  I connect with a udl on windows7 64-bit file.  I am now trying to connect to a database on the network, I got the udl file to work and connect very well but my query failed (probably created the table) the error code has not been defined.  Anyone have any suggestions on debugging.  I guess that sql server and express to take the same thing, it could be a permissions or timeout?

  If I had to guess, I suppose that the connection didn't correct permissions on the remote DB, although I expect that you would get a recognizable mistake with this. This should be relatively easy to find by logging into the remote DB with this connection using another program (for example, access or Management Studio) and performs the same operations.

  Even if the error code appears as not defined, you can try to search online and see if other people fell on it. Be aware that some error codes are shared by different applications, so be sure that you look good results.

  It would also be useful to know exactly where the error is generated, which should help you more to find the pattern.

• Comparing the data set of Oracle database local to the Remote SQL Server database

  Hello

  I have a table in an Oracle database that is gradually being updated with a table in SQL server through the database link. There is a field "Date of creation" in the table in SQL server that I used to find the newly created records and shoot and insert them into the local table to the Oracle database.

  Now the question is the documents/data in the SQL server remote can be deleted as well and I see a lot of files are already deleted and I couldn't find a way to capture the information of deleted data to remove from my local table.

  I tried

  SELECT id local_table

  where there is no

  (select * (or 1))

  of remote_table@database_link

  where remote_table.id = local_table.id).

  And I tried to replace not exist with no so.

  The problem is that the query is too slow with link of database for IN/NOT EXISTS clause NO. So, I'm trying to find an effective way to capture the lines deleted in the remote to remove as a result of my local table table.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Oracle Database 11 g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64 bit

  Thank you

  Chrystelle

  It is perhaps easier

  Select pk / * or sustitutive key * / from Oracle.tba

  less

  Select pk / * or sustitutive key * / from SQLSERVER.tab

  This returns the rows that exist in Oracle but not in SQL SERVER-> delteted lines in SQL Server.

  Another way is to create a trigger to remove in sqlserver and track in a table delete lines.

• Remote SQL Server in WAN environment

  Hi guys,.

  As I read the reference guide questions are poping up.

  If I have a SQL Server remote acting as SQL Server my vc instance which is the best way to implement in a WAN environment with vCenter Heartbeat?

  Thank you

  Dougie

  Process is the same as if you protected vcenter via a WAN with heartbeat.  If you have a different IP address for primary/secondary, then you use the WAN option and provide IP addresses as required during installation.  The only difference is that you select SQL at the primary and secondary installation wizard.
