• problem with vCenter Server 4.0 Update 1

  I have ower vCenter Server 4.0 Update 1 upgrade in December, somehow the version number is not right.

  The build number of the show is always 208111 if I trie to reinstall the update 1 only, I can completely uninstall the vCenter Server.

  So, the update seems to be installed anyway nor 100% corectly.

  The vCenter Server Loggenerator also shows me the 208111 build.

  Because of this I also can't update the last Patch1 for Update Manager.

  Way to go VMware... I love how just release notes say "run Setup". Of course, it was all buried a few deep records, not at the root of the zip file.

• Problem with VCenter server on VM - how to upgrade the host

  Hello.

  I have VM on VCenter.

  I can't update the host with patches critical host because he can not enter maintenance mode.

  Is it possible to do this?

  Thank you

  Best practices so that a VC Server VM on a host of multi with SAN storage environment must be available for the use of compatible hardware for VMotion or VCA VMotion.  If you do not have an environment that allow VCA to then I would say that the best practice is to have the VC server on a physical server - it can even be installed on XP.

  Hello gentlemen,

  I can not only save this virtual machine with Backup Exec 2014 for a long time.

  They are there was no snapshot in snapshot Manager.

  Could you help me?

  A suspended snapshot could not be created for the virtual machine (DC) ha-data center (DC) \vm\VMware vCenter Server Appliance.

  Hello

  I found the solution.

  I disabled the JOB BE general relativity.

  and the host where the virtual machine belong was not the right time. No Ntp server has been configured.

  I did and now there works.

  I think that the problem can come from this.

• Setting up Certification Authority (CA) signed certificates for vCenter Server Appliance 6

  Hi all

  Recently, I managed to migrate to vCenter Server Appliance 6. 5.5, there was a large KB (2057223) on Configuring Certificate Authority (CA) signed certificates for vCenter Server Appliance. I tried to do as it says configure the certificate for v6.

  Unfortunately, I understand that some services such as lighttpd are changed in version.

  Can anyone provide a new instruction for the v6?

  Thank you

  Thank you. That helped me to see the idea. However, the explanation in the pages that was not complete. I had to search for more.

  This blog helped me solve my problem with the generated certificate:

• VMware vCenter Server Appliance 5.1 is not Autostart cluster

  Problem:

  After a VMware vCenter Server Appliance failure does not start automatecly.

  I have configured to start automatecly to each host, but it does not start automatecly.

  My configuration:

  Shared infrastructure-plate-forme PowerEdge VRTX with 3 servers running

  -3 x VMware ESXi 5.1.0 (799733)

  -1 x VMware vCenter Server Appliance 5.1

  -Servers run as a cluster with HA.

  Unfortunately Autostart VM is not supported in a Cluster, and so the settings are ignored. VM in clusters must be turned on manually (or using a script,...).

• Activate the VCA Mode of VMware vCenter Server Appliance

  Hello

  I'm pretty new on vSphere.  I have two hosts running esxi 5.1 what one of these hosts running the "VMware vCenter Server Appliance' with vSphere version 5.5.  I currently have a single cluster containing all the VMS as well hosts and the SAN.

  I try to activate the EVC mode, but when I try it tells me that the host is not allowed because there are powered on virtual machines.  I can turn off all the virtual machines except the vCenter device and I still get the problem on the host that has the device on it.  If I turn off the unit, I can't use vSphere to activate CVS.

  How can I activate CVS when vSphere does not work?

  Thank you

  Jeff

  Hi Welcome to the communities,

  This one is a bit complicated

  You have:

  1. turn off all VMs on Host1 (while vCenter device is on Host2)

  2 bring Host1 on Cluster, select CVS clustered.

  3. put all the virtual machines on Host2 (also vCenter device)

  4. connect on Host2 directly to vSphere Client Windows

  5. remove the vCenter inventory unit

  6. connect on Host1 directly to vSphere Client Windows

  7. the data store when the appliance and add it to the inventory of research. Power on

  8. connect the device with Web client or vSphere vCenter

  9. move the second host in the cluster

  And you're done

• VCenter Server Appliance 5.5 update w/o VUM

  I'm Manager my first vmware environment. We are a small company and using the Essentials package. I have two hosts upward with a vCenter Server Appliance 5.5 Build 2063318. I'm looking for a way to update the device for security patches. I have not been able to find how to do that when we don't have a Manager Update server configuration. I downloaded the .iso file but have not been able to find all the commands that will allow me to manually install the package. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Note that you must connect vCenter Server Appliance Web Console (VAMI) address: https://vCenterServerIPAddress:5480/ NOT the vSphere Web Client that listens on a different port.

• vCenter Server Appliance "URL of repository" evil

  Hey guys,.

  new to this entire VMware environment.

  I am trying install Win Server 2012 and in order to get installed it, I understand that I have to update my current version to 5.0.0 VMware - 455964 I have for later. I was hoping that it would accomplish this by accessing the VMware vCenter Server Appliance in the section "Update." But when I hit 'check updates' I get a:

  Impossible to check updates (error update server being contacted. Please check the network configuration. Couldn't resolve host ' VAPP - updates.vmware.com' URL: http://vapp-updates.vmware.com/vai-catalog/valm/vmw/8e70f769-fd50-4a7a-bee2-2c0d945e23b0/5.0.0.3324.latest/manifest/manifest-latest.xml) on Friday, June 20, 2014 3:02:21 PM GMT - 04:00

  
  

  Error...

  
  

  So I try to figure out how to invite to get the URL and (current) right to check with success to FIND an update. And if all goes well install it...

  
  

  What may be a DNS issue? If so, I have not found a place for the DNS entry. Must be outside of the server appliance?

  Thank you

  To configure DNS on the vCSA change the Type of address to SLAAC-IPv6 first and you can add DNS server address and the host name.

• Download link for vCenter Server Appliance (Linux)

  Hello

  I have the following situation: we bought VMware this week for our internal servers and want to administer the virtual machines with Linux (and only with Linux).

  I downloaded VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-5.1.0.10000-1065184_OVF10.ova and imported this virtual machine. I can now administer all our virtual machines within a browser running on a linux client.

  This virtual machine is running SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 (64-bit) and I would like to download these packages install to put in place a dedicated linux server (vShpere Web Client Version 5.1.0 build 1063329, customer-integrations-Plug-Ins: VMRC Version 5.1.0 Build 1060398 and Support Client Version 5.1.0 Build 832030)

  I downloaded tons of ISOs and OVF from VMware today but found nothing to install on a Linux server dedicated (except these tools of comments).

  Can we put a link or give me a clue where to download or in what ISO is?

  And another question is: is it possible to install

  Thank you

  Bernd

  The Linux version of vCenter Server is only available as a Virtual Appliance that you downloaded and not as a separate package such as the version of Windows.

  Not sure but maybe you are experiencing the problem that is mentioned in the Release Notes.

  VCenter Server Appliance 5.1.x to vCenter Server Appliance 5.1 update update 1 stops at web interface user while showing the status of update installation of updates *.
  When you try to upgrade to vCenter Server Appliance 5.1.x to vCenter Server Appliance 5.1 update 1, the update process stops an hour and the status of update to the user Web interface shows as installation of updates. However, subsequently, the update is properly an hour.

  Workaround: No.

• VCenter Server Appliance fails without VT in nested ESXi 5.1 support

  I am trying to run vCenter Server Appliance in a nested ESXi 5.1 64-bit environment.

  At the start of the vCenter Server Appliance, it fails with:

  This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit operating systems. However, the 64-bit mode is not possible.

  This host does not support VT for more information, see http://VMware.com/info?id=152 .

  My configuration is:

  Hardware Intel Serverboard S1200BTS

  Intel Xeon E3-1230 V2 3.30 GHZ CPU

  (This processor supports VT + EPT)

  BIOS Intel VT is enabled

  Intel VT for directed IO is enabled

  Latest version of the BIOS

  HW-ESXI 5.1 vhv.allow = "TRUE" is defined

  VM-ESXi 5.1 CPU/MMU virtualization - Intel VT + EPT active

  vCenter Server Appliance has been installed with the VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-5.1.0.5200-880472_OVF10.ova file.

  What I'm missing here?

  Set vhv.enable = 'TRUE' in my nested ESXi 5.1 makes no difference.

  Did you put this in the .vmx file for your ESXi 5.1 VM?
