• VMware vCenter Server service stops after 1 hour

  I'm having a problem with my server vCenter 4.0. Less than an hour of a reboot, the VMware VirtualCenter Server service stops. If I restart it... It works for about an hour, then stops again.

• The VMware Workstation Server service stopped with service specific error %-1.

  Hi, when I try to enable sharing in Workstation 8 GTR | Change | Preferences | Sharing virtual machines, I get an error Impossible to configure the workstation server. Check the event log, I found they were trying to start the VMware Workstation Server service that does not start (even when you try to start it manually) and the following error is recorded "the VMware Workstation Server service stopped with service specific error %-1." by the Service Control Manager. I found no additional cases related.

  Running on Windows 7 SP1 x 64. The port is set to 7443.

  I also tried to find a newspaper there instead of vmware, but neither found anything related; However I could have missed something.

  Thanks for all the ideas, what could be wrong and how to fix it.

  Hello

  I have Workstation 8.0.1 installed on two laptop computers each running Windows 7 SP1 x 64... the shared component of the virtual machine runs on one but not the other. On the machine that I have problems with I uninstalled Workstation and reinstalled - without success. What I ended up doing to replace the datastores.xml file in the Directory go (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\hostd) on the laptop with the problem with the file datastores.xml of the laptop that works - success! I knew that there was a problem with the file because I've been poking around and noticed that the datastores.xml file is not open for editing - it was corrupted.

  I have attached the file to this message.

  Change of the section at the location that you store your shared VM (be sure to not use a UNC, which breaks the service as well!).

  I hope this helps.

• vCenter Server Service does not start after P2V

  Hello community.

  A problem that I have not been able to solve and looking for help.

  Problem:

  vCenter Server Service does not start after that Windows Server was P2V would be.  We get an ERROR 2 of the Service.  Get the error of the system Windows 7024 event log.

  History:

  The client, I currently work with that tries to smash to the high location of the DEV VCENTER.  Location of DEV vcenter works now all for this site (domains, dns and all development servers).  If its VCENTER PRODUCTION of this location.  Currently, SQL Server (dedicated to vCenter), VCENTER and SSO are all sitting on the same box.  Let's break the SSO, SQL and VCENTER in their own servers.  However, the client wants to re - use the current physical server for SQL Server.  So I need P2V physical server existing until I can start the new environment.

  I was able to get all of the services working on the virtual vCenter (SQL, SSO, Update Manager etc etc) but have been unable to get the real vCenter Server Service works.  Fails every time with the 2 ERROR Code.  I was unable to get a KB of VMWARE item that corresponds to the issue I'm having.  ERROR 2 code has many articles and none have worked.

  Details:

  vCenter 5.1 Build 799731

  SQL 2008 R2

  Windows 2008 R2

  When the vCenter Service tries to start it will stop at the 50% mark and gives this error: (I removed the names for security reasons)

  Windows could not start the VMware VirtualCenter server on <server name>. For more information, see the system event log.  If it is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor and refer to service 2-specific error code

  When I saw the Windows system event log I get this error:

  EVENT ID: 7024

  The VMware VirtualCenter Server service stopped with the error special service that the system cannot find the specified file...

  When I go through the vpxd log file I see this at the end of the newspaper: (I removed the names for security reasons)

  2013-12 - T 03, 16: 09:17.353 - 05:00 [info 09168 "Default"] forcing of VMware VirtualCenter stop now

  I pulled the virtual machine in a laboratory and all network problems that would be removed to isolate.  Now the VCENTER is shouting at this topic it can't find one of its guests in the vdxp log, but that shouldn't matter.  All Services have been changed for local accounts.  All network and ODBC parameters are able to see the server... aka the server can see.  I didn't remove any software or drivers for the VM (techniques it is my third P2V to the same server for testing reasons)... And the only thing that won't start is always VCENTER SERVER... SSO is started, SQL is launched...

  Also everything remained the same on the virtual machine (DNS, IP, NAME etc etc). Stop the physical and start-up it upward don't show any problems.  Only when its summer P2V would have done that themselves.

  I can't get this number.  Need help.

  Thoughts?

  Thank you

  In this case, we have finished rebuilding the vCenter and all migrate on.  Wish had better put up-to-date, but ultimately, it's what has been done.

• During the restart of Vcenter Server - error 1053: the Service has not respond to the start or control

  Hi all

  I couldn't use the vSphere Client to enter in vCenter (from my office).

  I could not Remote Desktop on the server vCenter resides on.

  I could go on the console of the server vCenter resides on.     I couldn't use vSphere Client from there either.

  I tried rebooting vCenter and got this error message:

  Unable to stop the VMware VirtualCenter Server Service on Local computer.

  Error 1053: The service did not respond initially or control in a timely manner.

  Any ideas where to look for more clues or ideas on what might be the case?

  Thank you.

  I could not Remote Desktop on the server vCenter resides on.

  This is not vcenter Server.

  Check the configuration of Windows.

  Have you tried restarting your vCenter Server system?

• Do need me a separate license for VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat for a remote SQL Server database?

  Do need me a separate license for VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat for a remote SQL Server database?

  Only a single vCenter Server Heartbeat license is necessary to protect the components of the vCenter Server installed remotely, including SQL Server. A single license is also used for several UNIQUE for vCenter Server services protected authentication servers. A license is required per instance of vCenter Server.

• I did a stupid thing: I suspended "vmware vCenter Server Appliance" and now I can't connect to it more

  Hello

  First some info on our system. We have a group of three hypervisors and a few terabytes of storage on two devices of Synology. VCenter Server allows us to control everything. This vCenter is accessible via a dedicated ip address. Then I opened my 5.5 vSphere client on my workstation, check the name and credentials of the vCenter and hup I can admin everything.

  Now, what I did with my sleepy head? I suspended the so-called "unit of vmware vcenter server. And my vsphere client lost my connection with the server vCenter Server immediately.

  I can't ping this address ip-plus.

  I'm afraid that ssh is disabled.

  Installed on virtual machines seemed well-oiled, I can access it by using RDP. So no worries for employees using them.

  So I would like to be able to restart this device "vmware vcenter server" but I don't know how to do it.

  All useful ideas would be nice.

  And Yes, it's a really stupid mistake.

  Thank you

  Paul

  Point your client vSphere host your vCenter ON VM's.  You can then start the VM vCenter.

• VMWare vCenter Server Appliance / 2012R2 Windows domain

  Hi all
  I've recently updated my domaincontrollers to R2 2012 WIndows, and I installed vCenter on a vm through the ovf appliance. After you have configured the vCenter in the web gui, I can join the domain successfully and the virtual center appears in the field. After a restart of the virtualcenter, I'm not able to find the field in the client to vcenter under permissions. (version vCenter: VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-5.5.0.5101-1398493)

  Someone at - it a tip on how to fix this?

  You must login to webclient using [email protected] and navigate to the SSO configuration. Select your ad that you added and make this default domain. This makes the announcement should appear in the menu drop-down.

  But when I try to give permissions for groups and users to the AD.

• vCenter Server Service stuck on departure

  Hi all

  I ran a problem yesterday. One of my 5.1 ESXi hosts hung up. I had to start hard. Thus all virtual machines on this subject was turned off which included my 5.1 vCenter server. After I brought everything back online, I can't start the vCenter Server service. It is stuck on the start.

  Here is my configuration:

  For vCenter and SSO database: MS SQL (separate VM).

  SSO Server: separate the VM.

  vCenter Server: separate the VM.

  It has worked fine for over a year and this is the first time, vCenter server service does not start.

  I thought it might be linked to the database. So I restarted all servers: DB, SSO and vCenter in the same sequence, but without success.

  When I go to the ODBC connection on vCenter server and try to reconfigure to connect to the DB, it gives the error:

  The connection has failed.

  SQL State: '08001'

  A SQL Server error: 53

  Could not open connection to SQL server (53)

  The connection has failed.

  I've attached a screenshot of the error.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  I solved this problem. For some reason any. the NETWORK card on the vCenter server was disconnected after the crash. vCenter could not ping the database. Checked the NETWORK card and everything is OK.

• vCenter Server service does not start after you run Windows updates

  On a regular basis, my vCenter Server service fails to start after the automatic updates of windows are applied.  The vCenter server is a datacenter 2008R2 VM.

  The only other running applications are PerfectDisk and agents of ESET NOD32 - vCenter is in 4.1.  I tried to adjust the vCenter Server and WedAdmin service of delayed start, but that doesn't seem to make a big difference. The following errors are displayed in the case of the newspaper which lead me to think the issue is related to SQL:

• Detection of InsightCM Server service stopped

  Hello.

  Is it possible to get some kind of alarm or notification, if the InsightCM Server service stopped running on the server? It is not something I've experienced, but I just got the issue with the customer, so that I am currently working.

  Thank you.

  Hi Jens,

  Unfortunately, there is not a built-in way to be alerted if the service of InsightCM crashes. However, you can use the built in tools of Windows services to run a program if the service crashes. You can set the action in Windows Services by right-clicking on the InsightCM service and selecting Properties and then accessing the Recovery tab. You can then this pointer to any generic EXE. This program, for example, could send users to inform them of the accident.

  

  Let us know if you have any other questions!

  Kind regards
