• VSphere of site Recovery Manager support

  Hi all

  We currently host two farms of ESX 3.5 Upd.3 in one of our company's website, and we intend to build a new and more powerful vSphere 4 based firm. Finally, we will upgrade two old farms for the new product, too.

  At the end we you will also need to activate two of our farms to resume with the company a remote site (at a given time that this need will become two-way).

  That is why we are trying to understand if the VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager is produced following our needs or not.

  Unfortunately, it seems that the vCenter SRM is not yet able to manage a farm of vSphere 4: does anyone know precisely what to be sure of the release date for the new version of SRM (active vSphere)?

  And also, I am wrong in suspecting that the fact that the full name of the SRM includes a reference to vCenter (vCenter SRM) may suggest that an upgrade of our current Virtual Center 2.5 Upd. 3 to the most recent version of the vCenter server would be by the force required to install and use the SRM product even against a battery of ESX 3.5 based servers?

  Thank you very much for your help.

  Best regards

  Salvatore

  Salvatore,

  We shared that SRM will be compatible with vSphere 4 before the end of the year and preview of vSphere 4 + feature SRM at VMworld in San Francisco this month.  We have not yet made a public announcement on a more precise date, but stay tuned.

  The currently available version of SRM (SRM 1.0 U1) is compatible with vCenter Server 2.5 - you can see the details in the http://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/srm_pubs.htmlcompatibility document.  For what it's worth, 'vCenter' is a family name of products for our management of the add-on products (e.g. vCenter AppSpeed, vCenter Lifecycle Manager, vCenter Lab Manager, etc.).  The product formerly VirtualCenter is now called "vCenter Server.

  Once SRM is compatible with vSphere 4, you should not use vCenter Server 4 can use SRM with vSphere 4 servers because vCenter Server 2.5 is not compatible with vSphere 4.

  Hope that helps,

  Jon

• Application of site Recovery Manager

  Can someone shed light on the text following as cited in the SRM FAQ:

  "If VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager is configured only to switch to virtual machines on the site protected on the recovering site, then VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager licenses are required only for virtual machines protected on the protected site. " If VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager is configured for the failover of a set of virtual machines to a protected site to a recovery site as it is configured to fail over to another set of virtual machines on the site of recovery on the protected site, VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager licenses must be purchased for VMS protected on both sites '

  That's arrest with two datacenters 1 campus runs an active/active 'Production' site?

  Thanks in advance,

  not really

  Think of it this way, you can run the workloads of active production on BOTH sites, but have only a need to 'protect' vm is one of sites... for some reason, might simply as the workloads on the other website production are not classified as critical that you need to protect with replication to the other site. just because your sites are active / active does not always mean you must replicate in both directions at all times, yes it is a requirement common but not strict, but I digress... so says essentially that paragraph is you only need license keys available on the site where you intend to 'protect' the virtual computer If the other site will contain no protected vm you do not need srm for her license.

  When a failover occurs naturally licenses are reused just when you need to re-protected virtual machine that swung so that you can't miss their return.

  So just put SRM licenses are per-vm, you need that many licenses available as a virtual machine that you want to protect... site on which the virtual machine live on is not serious you can split licenses between sites or if linked using vCenter mode between sites simply assign the licenses to the pair of sites and the virtual machine will take on a license of the "pool" as it was.

• vSphere and Site Recovery manager support

  recently, I read somewhere that the version of vSphere will be of course available with vCenter for simple tasks of management and automation, but the rest of excellent suite product of VMware is not supported in the initial release of vSphere.

  So there will be support for:

• The goal of the "VMware-mount Service for Site Recovery Manager" Service?

  Hello

  We experienced a problem return to SAN replication recently after the maintenance of software packages. When we stopped all services SRM replication started. We could then restart RS and everything was fine. One of the services that we had to stop was the "VMware ride Service for Site Recovery Manager. This does not normally work however and the start is set to manual. I made several test stimulus plans last weekend and has never seen work. Anyone know what is this service?

  Thank you

  Mike

  There literally this name...?

  Normally, the Assembly in vCenter service is used by sysprep/deploy process...

  Sysprep is used by SRM as one of the methods for re-IP-ing a VM, I think we can assume the of the same kind of service, but for a different purpose...

• VMware vCenter Server service stops or restarts at the start of data collection

  VMware vCenter Server service stops or restarts at the start of data collection

  I am using vCenter Server 5.0

  Whenever I have begin to collect data, vcenter service stops or restarts, if I stop data collection and to disable the agent, vcenter service again and works well.

  Please any help!

  Thanks in advance

  It is a known issue, relating to the collection of historical data being enabled (nonzero) in the properties of the VMWare Agent on the Agent status screen.

  Change to 0 to disable/re-enable the agent and it should fix the problem.

  Please open a ticket of level 1 with telephone support if you need more help.

• 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 following event is logged in the system event log. The VMware VirtualCenter Server service stopped with the error service special 2 (0x2).

  I'm SQL2005 Express is using a virtual machine, windows 2003 Std, 1vCPU, 4 Gb RAM Tomcat and SQL use a lot of memory.

  It is a similar problem to the responces you find on google - but not the same thing. My service will stop about an hour after a reboot clean and efficient.

  Ideas?

  I see that you have conveniently left a crucial part of the document...

  The part where is says this (pg 74).

  Base Group of 2005Express of Microsoft SQL Server that you can use for small deployments of virtual hosts up to 5 and 50 machines. If the machine has Microsoft SQL Native Client is installed, remove it before installing

  vCenter Server with the cluster database.

  If the machine has MSXML Core Services 6.0 installed, remove it before installing

  vCenter Server with the cluster database. If you are unable to delete using the

  Add or remove programs, use the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. See

  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968749.

  Microsoft SQL Server 2005 for Microsoft Windows XP, apply MDAC 2.8 SP1 to the client. Use the native SQL

  So yes, you have exceeded your environment.  Still doesn't tell me if you looked at the SQL Express newspapers, because I'm sure that's the problem.

• 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.

• 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.

  Application log says this

  The description for event ID 1000 from source VMware VirtualCenter Server can not be found. Either the component that triggers this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

  If the event is on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

  The following information has been included in the event:

  Could not initialize the VMware VirtualCenter. Closing...

  the message resource is present, but the message is not in the string/message table

  I don't know how to fix it. It was working fine yesterday. Nothing has changed. Or has anyone experience this problem and have a solution?

  see if that helps

• Database of SQL 2005 with Site Recovery Manager

  Hello

  I want to install Site Recovery Manager.  I have a few questions about the configuration of database.  In my for the database installation steps

  I have the following:

  -

  ---

  For Microsoft SQL Server, the database must be configured as follows:

  1 schema name must be the same on behalf of the user, and you must have a default schema for the user account

  2 bulk insert of administrator privileges

  3. If Windows authentication is used, install the SRM service on a host that shares the same domain as the database server

  4. If SQL Server is installed locally, you may need to disable the network setting shared memory on the database server

  -

  ---

  I have almost 0 experience with SQL 2005.

  How to make sure that the schema name must be the same as the user name? My username is "vcadmin".

  How can you "Bulk insert administrator privleges.

  Thank you all...

  I'm not an expert SQL 2005 is... DB2 is my thing ahead of VMware

  CREATE SCHEMA vcadmin

  AUTHORIZATION vcadmin.

  GO

  will create the scheme of vcadmin with vcadmin be the owner. In SQL Server 2005, each user will have a default schema, and if no default schema has been assigned to a user, they will be part of the DBO schema.

  the format for the granting of insertion block is:

  GRANT ADMINISTER BULK OPERATIONS TO VCADMIN

  You can also just do your username VCADMIN the owner of the database when you create the database.

  see you soon

• Site Recovery Manager

  If I use Site Recovery Manager, do I need to configure the switch distributed on the DR site if the virtual machines on the production site are already using the distributed switch.

  If the server vCenter Server and the server itself uses its own domain (not joined in the AD/vsphere.local), can I install RS and configure it or vCenter Server and the server should be attached to the RFA?

  See the answers online:

  If I use Site Recovery Manager, do I need to configure the switch distributed on the DR site if the virtual machines on the production site are already using the distributed switch. -No, RS can operate with different types of switches in the two sites.

  If the server vCenter Server and the server itself uses its own domain (not joined in the AD/vsphere.local), can I install RS and configure it or vCenter Server and the server should be attached to the RFA? -Yes, SRM should not belong to the same AD (or a domain) on both sites. I would recommend if you use vC 6 to connect the two private security companies in the same field of SSO. Keep in mind this is completely separate from areas AD.

• What components are needed for a deployment of Site Recovery Manager?

  What components are needed for a deployment of Site Recovery Manager?

  Instances of vSphere, vCenter Server and Site Recovery

  Manager are required at the time the protected site and the

  recovery site (this does not imply aspects of license.

  Licenses are covered in a segment later in this document)

  Site Recovery Manager also requires an underlying replication

  product to copy virtual machines on the recovering site.

  Customers have the choice of using either vSphere replication

  or a third-party software based on replication.

  When you use the Bay, a storage-based replication software

  Replication adapter (SRA) is also required.
