• vCenter Server upgrade to version 5.0

  Hello

  I would like to know during the upgrade to vCenter Server 5.0 calls a new license key or he use of the existing version license key.

  I have vCenter Server 4.1 installed so Standard 6 hosts ESXi 4.1 installed with vSphere Enterprise Plus licenses each with 2 CPU. I plan to upgrade my environment of virtualization to vCenter Server 5.0 and vSphere Enterprise Plus 5.0, please someone can me brief on conditions of license - can I use the vCenter 4.1 existing licenses vSphere 4.1 upgrade to version 5.0, so I don't want to buy new licenses.

  Hoping to receive information about my queries.

  Kind regards

  Nikhil

  No, not if you have a valid support and subscription.

  You must visit the portal of licenses to upgrade the license (I think).

  I myself did last week and I'm sure that even if I already had a job entirely vCenter 4.1, I was required to enter the new license v5.0 file.

• VMware vCenter Server able work on linux?

  Hi all

  I can't make pile or face of ESX documentation, there is no direct answers.

  It is possible to run VMware vCenter Server on the linux host? everywhere I see just winNT and XP support... in our environment is only the linux hosts and one or two win7 for running vSphere client...

  Is there a solution without throwing me money buy windows XP?

  Kind regards

  Vlad.
  

  vCenter Server is only available as a Windows application, you need at least Windows XP Pro 64-bit to run the latest version of vCenter Server (4.1). See http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.pdf (compatibility of OS for vSphere Client, vCenter Server...)

• VMware tools and host of virtual hardware upgrade process

  We currently have 8 guests esx4 we plan to upgrade to esxi5.  Our downtime window is relatively low.  We should have sufficient time to upgrade all hosts, but I'm not so sure that we will be able to get all the vm tools and equipment as well updated.  Is there a common question VMs on the older virtual hardware and vm versions tools until our next maintenance window?

  Or would it be best to try to get half of the hosts and all the computers upgraded this time and the other half next time?  We have not all hosts the value automatically vmotion machines so that they remain in place unless you have an accident.  In addition, in this scenario is any problem to launch half esx4 and the other half to esxi5?

  Any advice or ideas would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Is there a common question VMs on the older virtual hardware and vm versions tools until our next maintenance window?

  There is no problem.  Your guests will not be able to take advantage of some of the new features added with vHardware 8, but as they are upgraded they will be.

  http://www.VMware.com/support/vsphere5/doc/vSphere-ESX-vCenter-Server-50-new-features.html

  y at - it no problem running esx4 half and half to esxi5

  No worries there, too.  The only thing that you must do is upgrade to VMFS5.  The bed and breakfast vSphere5 no cannot be able to see a LUN VMFS5, but everyone can see and use a LUN VMFS3

• Service component of VMware Manager fails to start in vCenter Server 6 Update 2

  Hello

  A brief idea of my test environment:

  VCenter servers:

  VC1 - recorded at the psc1 in Site1

  VC2 - recorded at psc2 in Site2

  External Services platform controllers:

  psc1 - Site1

  PSC2 - Site2

  SSO domain: vsphere.local

  I upgraded from vCenter Server 5.5 update 3d to vCenter Server 6.0 Update 2. VCenter 5.5 servers had integrated / embedded of SSO and all services running on the same machine and were in modes related before the upgrade and I have them removed modes related before the upgrade. They have been upgraded to vCenter Server 6.0 with Embedded PSC and they entered automatically improved Linked Mode (ELM).

  After the previous step, I deployed the PSC external psc1 respectively 2 and psc2 mode of replication with vc1 and vc2 in the same site Site1 and Site2. I migrated then boarded two PSC vCenter servers to their respective partners external PSC of replication by running the command cmsso-util reconfigure - repoint-PSC "psc1/psc2" - administrator user name - domain name "vsphere.local" - passwd "Hasło_Administratora." This operation ended successfully and my vCenter have been reconfigured as vCenter Server with external CFP.

  After that, I followed article KB VMware 2127057 (agreements ofdetermination of replication and the State with the service controller 6.0 platform (2127057) |) The VMware KB) do psc1 and psc2 external replication of the PSC 2 partners either by running the command vdcrepadmin-f createagreement-2--h psc2.clifford.local h psc1.clifford.local u Administrator w 'Hasło_Administratora '. I ran this command psc2. Also, this operation succeeded, and when I ask the State of replication of the psc1 of replication partners and psc2, there is nothing wrong. However, after restarting my vSphere Infrastructure, I see that vc1, psc1 and psc2 have all their services started successfully.

  VC2 services seem to be failing, especially the service component manager of VMware which is required for many other services start. The VMware HTTP Reverse Proxy service starts properly and I have no IIS role / feature installed on my machine. The error message that occurs when you try to manually start the service is also attached as a file Error2.JPG in the discussion. The Windows event log error is as deeply as the file Error3.JPG in the discussion.

  Please let me know how to solve this problem as soon as possible.

  Well, I found a solution myself.

  In fact, after I created the external PSC 2 psc1 and psc2 partners of replication of the vc1 and vc2 in Site1 and Site2 respectively, I had to immediately follow section KB VMware 2127057 in order to create a replication agreement between the 2 external to the PSC psc1 and before psc2 I reconfigured and show the vCenter servers vc1 and vc2 of on-Board of the PSC outside the PSC following the VMware Documentation (Center of) VSphere documentation 6.0).

  That's all.

  Thanks to all for looking into it.

• VCenter Server first to 5.5.0U3b update and later update of VMware ESXi ESX / will I have problems?

  Hello

  have trouble when I first updated my signature single vCenter Server and later update my vSphere hosts?

  A vCenter Server Version 5.5.0U3b should be able to manage vSphere Host Version 5.5.0 GA, right?

  Kind regards

  Roland

  The vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 b can manage VMware ESXi ESX release GA to 5.5 5.5 update 3 b, take a look: VMware product interoperability Matrices

  BUT, according to the interoperability matrices and vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 release notes, VMware strongly recommends you upgrade your hosts to 5.5 update 3 b, see:

  What's new

  • Update Support for the SSLv3 Protocol is disabled by default
    Note: In your vSphere environment, you must update vCenter Server vCenter Server 5.5 update 3 b before the update to 5.5 ESXi ESXi update 3 b. vCenter Server will not be able to manage 3B ESXi 5.5 update, if you update ESXi before update vCenter Server to version 5.5 update 3 b. For more information about the sequence in which vSphere environments must be updated, see KB 2057795.

  • VMware strongly recommends you update ESXi hosts to ESXi 5.5 update 3 b management of vCenter Server 5.5 updated 3B.

  VMware does not recommend the reactivation of SSLv3 because of the vulnerability of POODLE. If all you must enable SSLv3, you must activate the SSLv3 Protocol for all components. For more information, see

• vCenter 6.0 5.5 upgrade installation simple and external PSC supported?

  Hello people,

  Everything I have read so far indicates that an upgrade to vCenter 5.5 simple installation on R2 W2K12 6.0 only supports a PSC facility incorporated during the upgrade.

  See page 25 of the Upgrade Guide.

  https://pubs.VMware.com/vSphere-60/topic/com.VMware.ICbase/PDF/vSphere-ESXi-vCenter-Server-60-upgrade-guide.PDF

  Notice also mentioned it here:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & externalId = 2109772

  Page 8 of the deployment guide mentions the same, embedded installation of MCS during the upgrade of a simple installation.

  https://www.VMware.com/files/PDF/Techpaper/VMware-vCenter-Server6-deployment-guide.PDF

  Just to confirm, is there a process taken support to upgrade a simple installation of vCenter 5.5 to 6.0 and the creation of a PSC external?

  Thank you

  What is upgrade is, at present, there is no method of support available to achieve this goal.

• Upgrade to vCenter Server to 5.5u2d (5.5.0 build-2183111)

  Hi guys, I just wanted to check with you somethings, I need to run the below to be in compliance with the last safety:

  Upgrade to VMware vCenter Server 5.5u2d (5.5.0 build-2183111) or later, our current version is 5.5.0 build-1945274.

  
  

  I previously ran updates when you move the vCenter server, but did not have an upgrade on the same server, it is just a matter of downloading the latest version of the software running in custom mode, the upgrade of each of the parties to vCenter and be careful not to overwrite the database?

  
  Thanks in advance

  Yes, just make sure backup your base of data and/or your vCenter VM snapshot and to proceed with the custom installation wizard.

• Help on vSphere 6 upgrade with a SSO strategy internal-> external PSC

  I would ask an idea and help on what and how to revamp our vsphere infrastructure.

  We have an environment that grow very fast in the last 2 years... from a Center unique vcenter/infrastructure for our server environment us growth data center 2 main + 1 small site with a 2nd arriving within a few months, and probably a good number of branches.

  Our main data center 2 are configured with vCenter 3 5.5:

  (1) our main Server vCenter

  (2) our Horizon vCenter for VDI

  (3) a vCenter dedicated to a separate set of servers for a specific project

  All the vCenter are now 5.5u2, but in the past our VDI vSphere still was 5.0, while the rest was upgaded to 5.1 and 5.5.

  The 3) is an environment dedicated with some software/configuration that could conflict or be managed in a way different from our current infrastructure (this ban could remain in an earlier more time for example).

  All these vCenter are configured with a SSO Multisite separated by the environment, so we have a Multisite SSO for server, 1 for VDI and 1 to 3).

  Our vCenter have the PSO and all integrated services in the windows server and a database of separate SQL Server for each of them.

  Verification of certain documents on the vSphere 6 that I noticed that it seems that we have a setup that has somehow changed and thinking about the future and the implementation of new products, I would like to understand how we could manage these infrastructure and how we can join it.

  In this document http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2108548 it seems that manage sites that have integrated the PSC and vCenter Server on the same host is not a recommended way, thinking at least about our vCenter Server main (2 different in 2 sites) infrastructure, we must separate the PSC making external.

  Should we move the SSO outside our 5.5 infrastructure server now before moving on to 6 so that we could improve PSC external SSO and just update our vCenter server or there's a way during the upgrade to the PSC on an external server (such as installing on a new server and migrate SSO to external PSC)?

  Think in the future, we probably want to unify the PSC and use the same servers PSC (2 ha with a LB probably in each site). It is possible during the upgrade a server vcenter Server to migrate from the SSO server/PSC is using another?

  If you want to go out of style incorporated into the external PSC; currently during the upgrade you can not change this IE if it integrated with 5.5 and then it will continue in embedded mode. Future update could be an option / tool to move to external embedded mode PSC post upgrade (this tool is nevertheless do you updated or not; deployment embedded 6.0 can be converted into vCenter pointing to external PSC).

  From now on if you want to pass to the external PSC mode then to 5.5 installation embedded itself move first on external SSO. You can do this by installing separate SSO and re - point your existing inventory, webclient and VC than SSO service. Below KB provides details on the re-score-

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2033620

  Once you are done with the re - verse you can start the upgrade with PSC external.

• Upgrade memory of VCenter Server

  Hello

  Can anyone tell how to change the memory in my server vcenter?

  It has already been upgraded to version 10 and the use of the customer is no longer an option.

  Welcome to the community,

  This is probably the main reasons for the warning in the documentation anyway, there are two ways to change the settings of the vCenter Server VM. If you have 10 of VMware Workstation in place, you can connect to the host on which is inscribed the vCenter Server VM and manage settings, another way is to use a PowerCLI script to do this. Last but not least, you can simply change the VM manually .vmx file through the CLI (console or SSH). In this case, remember to reboot the virtual machine after editing the file .vmx (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1026043). In all cases you must stop the server vCenter Server to change the settings. This can be done by connecting directly to the appropriate of ESXi host using the vSphere Client.

• The upgrade to vCenter Server 5.5 U1 beat vCO AD Plugin

  Hey guys,.

  I've recently updated vCenter Server (under Windows) to 5.5 U1, and so vCO has been upgraded to the latest version as well. It seems that the AD plugin has been upgraded to 1.0.4 - 763 and now can not be configured correctly. The vCO newspapers give the following:

  2014-05-12 12:11:14.141 - 0400 [WorkflowExecutorPool-thread-1] ERROR {[email protected]: Configure Active Directory server: 8a6abc61-9f1e-4b75-84e3-5f7ed902af57:1d74889645f12cdf0145f133c1e20009} [MSPluginFactory] condition of credentials are corrupted.

  Furthermore, when I try to set up an advertising server by using the plug-in, I have the following problem, showing me one of the configuration objects is null - 'ConfigurationManager '.

  2014-05-12 12:11:14.251 - 0400 [WorkflowExecutorPool-thread-1] WARN {[email protected]: Configure Active Directory server: 8a6abc61-9f1e-4b75-84e3-5f7ed902af57:1d74889645f12cdf0145f133c1e20009} Script Runtime error [WorkflowItemTaskRunner] on the workflow: Server Configure Active Directory / 'Configuration' (item1) update: ReferenceError: 'ConfigurationManager' is not defined.

  We do not use LDAPS, LDAP standard, so I don't see why we would receive an exception of encryption, and the 'ConfigurationManager' null configuration object is interesting.

  Is it possible to reset the configuration of the plugin, re-establish a connection, and try again? I prefer not to reinstall this vCO, as we have done a lot of configuration.

  Uninstalling and reinstalling the 1.0.4 plugin does not seem to solve the problem. I should come back 1.0.3 or can it?

  Thanks for all your help.

  Thank you, Christophe, who complained of being 'ConfigurationManager' being missing (according to the first message in this thread). That said...

  Rename/Delete the

  C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Orchestrator\app-server\conf\plugins\AD.xml and

  C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Orchestrator\app-server\server\vmo\conf\plugins\AD.xml

  and re - configure the plugin (1.0.3 in this case) AD, seems to have allowed the AD connection is restored. At that time, we were see errors in the vCO related to plugin configuration of the client (it seems that all the old cruft of 1.0.4 has not been completely cleaned), so I upgraded the plugin from 1.0.3 to 1.0.4.

  I can now browse through the structure of the AD in vCO as expected. A terrifying upgrade, plugin-breaking!

• The upgrade to vCenter Server to vCenter Server 5.1 5.1 update 1 when the SQL database is remote and vCenter Server Heartbeat is installed

  Hi guys,.

  I'm in the middle of an upgrade to vSphere 5.1 5.1 vSphere update 1. I have vCenter protected by HB and SQL on a separate computer (also protected by HB) I also run Syslog, Update Manager and Proxy authentication on vCenter.

  I've successfully upgraded HB on all 4 nodes (2 x vCenter & 2 x SQL) and started the upgrade components on the secondary according to the •vCenter Server Heartbeat 6.5 server and vCenter Update 1 Installation on Windows Server 2008 when the secondary server is virtual (PDF) http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vcenter-server-heartbeat-65-u1-installation-windows-2008-virtual-guide.pdf

  I got to step 3.c

  3. change the primary/active server role:

  a launch of the vCenter Server Heartbeat wizard configure server and click the tab of the Machine to change the server role for the current server (primary) to the active State and click Finish.

  b using the Service Control Manager, start the Server Heartbeat of VMware vCenter service.

  c using the vCenter Server Heartbeat Console, check that all the status icons on the server: summary page are green indicating that the boot process is completed and protected from all the services are started.

  d using the Service Control Manager, stop the service Server Heartbeat of VMware vCenter.

  As the vCenter service does not start, I'm stuck at this point. As far as I'm concerned, the error is quite logical. I've updated vCenter using the secondary server, and then I'm trying to connect (according to the guide) with another version that breaks down.

  If I continue with the services stop and launch the installer SSO, it is trying to perform an uninstall!

  Did I miss something in this upgrade?

  Concerning

  
  Ciaran

  Hi guys, VMware have finally updated the documentation to reflect the right way forward: https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/heartbeat_pubs.html U1 6.5 Select from the menu drop-down and you'll see the last date of update for each of the documentation is now 10/10/2013.
