• High utilization of the processor and memory virtualized vCenter 6.0

  Hi community

  When I upgraded my physical servers, they told me that virtuelise the vCenter server was recommended by Vmware.

  so that we did it, but since I think that when I connect to my vCenter with RDP sessions, the server was slooooow...

  then I watched the Führer in there and he uses 97-99% of the CPU and 99% of the memory, I spent 8 GB of memory, 2 CPU.

  I have my SQL DB on the same server running as a SQL Express 2014. windows server is trodden updated and so are the vCenter.

  After a while of google, I found this post, but don't relate to 6.0.

  and article I found VMware are broken :/

  is anyone having problems with their both "?"

  I found the course.

  It was VEEAM who has not removed the temporary snapshot of the virtual machine, I deleted snapshots and my VM has it to 180 GB 400 GB

  and the CPU fell to 40-60% and 80% memory

• VCenter question 5.5 installation!

  Hi ~ ~ all the:

  I want to try installing vCenter 5.5 on windows 2008 R2 X 64 edition.

  and I use the VMware Workstation 10

  When I installed the vCenter 5.5, I can not connect by vShper Client 5.5.

  I can connect by vShper Web client, but it is seems cannot do anything in the web client.

  My question is:

  1. vCenter should be installed on the windows domain server?

  2. can I install the server vCenter on stand-alone windows server?

  3.I found if I did install vCenter 5.0 then install vCenter 5.5, I can connect by customer vShper. Why?

  4.personly, I think that the web client is not a good tool for vCenter management as so far!

  5. If I download the VMware vCenter Server 5.5 device, will face I have the same problem?

  Dear all:

  After testing, I found my problem,

  If I want to login using vSphere Client,.

  the account must use [email protected], we can't use the local administrator of the server, or use the windows logon credentials,

  but once the connection with [email protected] and giveed the roles of administrator local administrator permissions.

  then the local administrator can connect to vCenter Server.

• Clone of Machine process virtual vCenter

  Hello

  I want to clone my virtual machine. But I need to know, Vcenter clone merge - delete all snapshots automatically or just simply had no vmdk. I don't want to lose my data, because it is a data center machine. Thank you...

  All previous snapshots are VM snapshot State at creation time. Current VM will have all the data. So if you take the current state of the virtual machine clone, it should have all the data.

• Some Server vCenter / vCenter Questions

  Currently, we run ESXi 4.1 without a license and will move into the Kit of Essentials ESXi 5.

  We have 3 physical hosts with 2 CPU each.

  (1) can be installed vCenter Server on a virtual machine that lives on one of the physical hosts, vCenter Server going to manage? Is this a bad idea?

  (2) if the physical host that has the virtual machine with vCenter Server fails, the other two physical hosts continue to run? Can always to connect us to them directly for basic through vSphere management?

  (3) what is the recommended way to connect to vCenter Server from a workstation? With a local installation of vSphere 5 or via the Web Client?

  (4) the only time we would have more than 3 physical hosts is when we buy a new server and retire an old.  Using the license of ESXi 5 Essentials Kit, can we install ESXi hypervisor 5 on new server, remove the old physical server licenses and then move the licenses to the new physical server?

  (5) because we never exceeds 3 hosts connected to vCenter Server, and we never exceeds 50 VMs, would it not better/easier to use vCenter Server Virtual Appliance? The ESXi 5 Essentials Kit License allows us to use the vCenter Server Virtual Appliance?

  1 - vCenter VM is fine. Not a bad idea. In fact, you'll be able to release the physical server, so you can use it as a host.

  2 If the VM vCenter fails, you can always access all hosts directly via vSPhere Client.

  3 - the vSphere Client

  4 - Yes.

  5 - vCenter device does not support the Update Manager and has other deviations

• VSA does virtual vCenter Appliance support

  We are setting up a remote site with VSA running on both nodes ESX with a third ESX Server built to manage the instance of vCenter.  We run vCenter device for our main campus and would like to remain consistent, but I read her you need to run on a Windows Server vCenter.  Someone at - it care to confirm or deny?

  VSA is and add-on for vCenter for Windows.

• change the IP address of a machine virtual vcenter

  I have a vCenter VM who need to change the IP addresses and the VLAN.

  Someone at - it a method of proof of the ball to achieve?

  I googled a lot of articles that speak to change the IP address of a virtual computer, but not to a VM vCenter.

  Am I missing something here - he is incredibly easy - or is it so obscure that it may be easier to delete it and recreate it in a place where it should reside?

  Thank you.

  Its not too difficult, but there are a few cleaning tasks, you will have to fill out once its address IP has been changed (solve connectivity ESX to your vCentre, fix Update Manager, etc.).  If you have a small, newly Set up virtual infrastructure you can consider recreating your vCentre, but it's probably easier to not do.

  When your vCentre is a virtual machine, make sure that you can connect to your VI Client directly to the ESX which hosts, otherwise you might end up changing IP of the VC and lose access via VI Client/RDP/VNC etc.  In addition, the fact that it is a virtual machine is of little consequence.

  Don't know why you did not find anything via Google, there is a lot out there, see the following resources to help you get started...

• Change of host and domain name ownership virtual vCenter Server... issues to know?

  Looking to change the name and domain membership of our vCenter server v4.0 virtual host\system to harmonize them with the rest of our servers and make it consistent with our security policy.  Are there things I should be aware to allow migration of fluids before, during or after the change of name and the field?  The vCenter server is a unique system that hosts all the necessary services and applications for vCenter, so there is not a second box that he speaks for something out of control two ESX servers for the cluster on which it resides.

  Yes... Especially in vSphere where there is no license server is all the function key.  I don't foresee any problems.  But if you use a license server may want to change your license IP source if it is not already.

  You can also simply restart the vpx on your ESX host agents if you see weird problems

• vCenter Question Upgrade (requirement of http and https ports)

  Hello

  In vSphere Upgrade Guide, the documentation clearly indicates "vCenter Server 4.0 uses TCP/IP Ports 80 and 443, you _cannot _run vCenter Server on the same computer as a webserver using these ports, because this causes conflicts of port.

  Now in the vCenter has always allowed me to change the ports by default during the installation, not only do this to avoid conflicts?  My current virtualcenter server using ports 80 and 443 for a bunch of websites and I can't move.  I don't have another server that has these free ports.

  If any of you have changed the default http and https ports during installation (I even do that)?  Problems?  All comments in general?  VCenter even use these ports for?  I searched but could not find a definitive answer.

  This is a very critical level and I'd rather not start it until I know exactly what to expect.

  Thank you!!

  Well the port 80 and 443 are generally webservices 80 http 443 https, it is no different with virtual center, they are used for web access to manage virtual machines etc.

  and yes I have changed these on a server vc, when access to the content of the web services via the browser enough ":" at the end of the address

  change change will require virtual center of service needs to be restarted

• Update Manager & virtualized vCenter Server

  Hello

  Kind of a chicken and the egg here problem.  How you clean up a with UpdateManager ESX Server if it is installed on vCenter server is virtualized on the same ESX box?  I only ESX Server at the moment, so I can't vmotion whatever it is turned off.  I tried to update in any case say, but may not enter maintenance mode since my vCenter server is still in place.

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  Looks like you yourself in trouble.

  You can still use other ways to patch your esx hosts.

  1. using the update of the VI, installed with the client.

  2 patch ESX host with esxupdate or use one of the many scripts online fixes (look for esx patch.pl)

• ESXi virtual networking question

  Hey everybody,

  I installed Astaro Security Gateway as a virtual machine under ESXi 3.5 Update 3. The installation went successfully and I configured the Astaro to use two VNic (eth0 and eth1). I set up eth0 on the Astaro to use 192.168.2.100

  My question is: how would I be able to access the WebAdmin of this (192.168.2.100:4444) gateway from a remote machine (i.e. my laptop under VI Client)?

  Here are some more in-depth details of config:

  ESXi IP = 192.168.0.187 (provided by our physical switch/DHCP server)

  Under Configuration - & gt; Networking, I see not what follows (see attached photo)

  Help is always greatly appreciated!

  Thank you!!!

  

  You have reason vmnic1 is not used - using the second physical NIC (vmnic1) you will need or create a second virtual sritch by right-clicking on the network link add or by adding the vmnic1 to vswitch0 to create a NIC team.

• PowerEdge R720 virtual disk question

  Hi, our company has bought a Dell PowerEdge R720. I tried to use the lifecycle controller in RAID configuration. At the start, it has 3 500 GB SAS HARD drive, but I ordered 2 x 320 GB additional SAS being what I intend to do it, use the 2 x 320 GB like OS install as RAID 1 and RAID 5 on the default 3 x 500 GB, but for some reason any, whenever I have configure RAID , either on the two 320 or 3 x 500 GB, it shows just a virtual disk, 2 x 320 GB or 500 GB x 3, I see not two for RAID 1 and RAID 5 virtual disks. Am I missing something here? or I have to perform an extra step?

  Kind regards

  Jeff

  Hello Jeff,.

  If you try to install the operating system through the lifecycle controller method. You must have the latest lifecycle controller OS driver pack installed in your system. For the latest driver pack OS, please download from our support http://support.dell.com/ site by entering you service number and download OS Driver pack drivers.

  You can update the OS driver pack thorugh iDRAC GUI or through the lifecycle controller GUI and once after the OS driver pack update. When you try to deploy the operating system through the life cycle of the controller, you will appear on the list of supported operating systems and you can select the operating system you want to install by mounting the image operating system or DVD media connected to the system.

  Please let me know if you have any question.

  Thanks, Neeraj

• ESXi VM virtual network question

  I have two virtual machines on ESXi

  1 Sophos UTM (assigned 'NET' and 'LAN' physical network interface)

  2 Ubuntu server (not assigned any physical network interface still)

  If I assign a new physical network interface 'LAN2"Sophos and also assign another new interface for ubuntu server network, then they will be connected through a physical cable, ubuntu server will be under sophos. However, I want to know is - it possible to do it with virtual on ESXi because that I have enough physical network interface to which their responsibilities.

  Thank you.

  If I understand correctly, you need a direct link between these two VMs running on the same host ESXi!

  In this case you don't need no physical connection. Simply create a new vSwitch without any rising (vmnic) and connect two virtual machines to a portgroup VM on this vSwitch.

• Mgmnt network vCenter question 5

  Our VMware environment is expanding - we are currently redesigning the network connections.  Can anyone offer recommendations or best practices on the following questions.
  (1) on new construction of host can use another range of IP for the management network without causing problems with already used by existing hosts subnets?  Can I change the IP address of the existing hosts without a reconstruction?
  (2) we are very shortage of Cisco ports.  My Network Services team asking if we can combine the network traffic with vMotion traffic on the same physical connection management.  Which would have ramifications

  be if we allow at the same time?  Unless you have a failure of the host all vMotion activities is controlled manually and very light.  We work (ongoing project) on a DR plan, but have nothing in place.

  Is it 2x1GbE or 2x10GbE?
  If it is 2x10GbE and that you have vSphere Ent +, I'd go for the unique design of VDS using NIOC

• Compatibility of hardware/VM virtual upgrade questions

  Hi all

  We are about to upgrade the virtual hardware (VM compatibility) on 800 virtual machines from 7 to 9 on our environment vSphere 5.1. I read about the problems with the hidden network adapters when the card is moved to another location on the virtual PCI bus during the upgrade. I tested the upgrade virtual hardware with multiple virtual machines, but none of them showed this behavior.

  I know not how to solve the problem, but now I'm looking for real-world experiences.

  1. What percentage will I fail?
  2. Are there useful tips, tools or scripts to facilitate the research process and fixing VMs failed?
  3. What is initially a map to move to a position about the virtual PCI bus (I can "predict" which VMs will have a network card hidden, for example a combination of a specific operating system and certain type of pci device)?

  Kind regards

  Last week, we upgraded the virtual equipment of hardware form 500 VMs 7 to 9 (vmx-09) version. Overall, it went well, with the exception of some Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 servers. We experienced a problem that is described in an article named "Windows 2003 virtual machine loses access to the locally stored profile after upgrading the hardware version (2009762)":

  "After the upgrade to a virtual machine to Windows 2003 to version 8 material, you may encounter these problems:

  • You will lose access to locally stored profile.
  • Trying to connect will fail with the error:
  • Windows cannot find the locally stored profile: insufficient security rights or a local file damaged. Windows has connected you with a temporary profile any setting you make will not be saved. »

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2009762

  Power down the virtual machine and affecting the video card 4 MB memory in 'Change settings' VM has solved the problem for all virtual machines (see article).

  Thank you all for contributing to this topic.
