VSA and VCenter fails

• vCenter Heartbeat and vCenter Failed

  If vCenter Heartbeat is used to replicate the vCenter Server, then that server vCenter can't then some esxi hosts this vCenter Server manages will be they will automatically move to the other server vCenter Server or we need to do it manually?

  vCenter Heartbeat is a cluster solution that protects services vCenter, so you will have two primary servers and secondary, one of the server would be active and others being passive.

  Incase if the Active Server fails, HB will failover services vCenter vCenter to the passive node. No further action to perform.

• Question about configuration VSA and vCenter

  Hi guys,.

  We just received our three new servers which will run a VSA 3 nodes configuration on a remote location.

  I am thinking the vCenter Server computer in our office that will be responsible for configuring VSA. What until occur if the vCenter server disconnects (for some reason), it will be still operational?

  Best regards Johan

  Failover VSA is completely independent of VSA Manager/VC.  If you lose the VC, the only thing you can't do is to manage the cluster

• VSA and what happens if Vcenter falls down?

  Hi, im specing a vmware project and we will use VSA and wanted to get the opinion of peoples

  Option 2 is to go with a two host or a three node host.

  In the node option 2 host, I would need a third vCenter server and act as the tiebreaker in a failure scenario

  With the option of node 3 host I was running on one of the three hosts vcenter

  IM leaning more towards option two node because of the storage.

  Ive price on some Dell servers, and I am planning purchase servers that can have up to 8 disks in them, and im going to use all 8 disks with Raid 5.  If in the end im planning to have Abu 3.6 TB of space used on each server.  I intend maxing out the storage, so I won't be able to extend the storage later.

  Since VSA reflects things, guests 2 or 3 guests have not give me more space.  So in the end, no matter what option I'm going with evil have almost 3.6 TB of usable space after VSA things mirrors

  I plan buy 2 processors in each server with 64 GB of memory for each server.  I think I ran out of storage before having more cpu and memory, so im thinking the option three node would be wasefull

  If lead hosts 2 will probably be about $10,000 each, in order to get a third one which would not really be used seems exaggerated

  So I can just spend $3,000 and get a vCenter Server

  But what happens if the Vcenter server has a hardware failure.

  I know in Vshpere the computers physical hosts have all failover so HA will work again and so on so im not worried about that

  But if Vcenter is down, which will have harmful effects on the VSA of things part?

  Thank you

  Mike

  Nothing happens to the ASB if vCenter down - she keeps using data.  You will not be able to manage the ASB, but you will lose access to the data.

• Need help to change a creation of VM PowerCLI script to support host ESXi and vCenter

  I have the below script that I created with much help from LucD - thank you! This has served me well for my lab procedures rip - replace so far. This script works when I run it against my single ESXi host when it is not connected to my server vCenter, but it throws errors when I run this script when the host is connected to vCenter and it fails to implement the controller SCSI Paravirtual. I think when the host is under the control of vCenter that changed some of the settings.

  If I point to the vCenter instead of ESXi host, I still get the same problem. In addition, I would also add the ability to create virtual machines in pools of different resources of a cluster of vSphere. My name in data center's LAB and my Cluster is called Local with pools of resources like TestLab, etc. see Horizon.

  Ideas please!

  I have also included the vminst.log file.

  The log file and the screenshot show the wrong file path (missing one ' \') characters in the path. Any thoughts?

  I did some digging in the vmvcsr.log file and noticed that it changed the SetupDir and the SETUPEXEDIR to Z:\vCenter-Server instead of Z:\vCenter-Server\

  I added the SETUPEXEDIR = and SetupSource = command line options and the installer still changed their return. "So, I removed the v'" and put the directories all in escaped quotes. This solves the problem.

  I still think that the installer must put the correct path on its own source dir facility. It should be smart enough for that!

  Here's the line Arguments that worked:

  $processInfo.arguments = "/S /qr SourceDir=`"$sourceDir`" SETUPEXEDIR=`"$sourceDir`" DB_EXISTING_VERSION=550 DB_USERNAME=`"$AdminUser`" DB_PASSWORD=`"$AdminPass`" LAUNCHWIZARD=1 VCS_DB_BACKUP=1 SSO_ADMIN_USER=`"$AdminUser`" SSO_ADMIN_PASSWORD=`"$AdminPass`" /L*v $env:temp\vmvcsvr.log"

• VCenter failed installation, some components not installed?

  So my old server Vcenter crashed and died for various reasons, mainly it was old material in the past. So I decided I would build the new VCenter server a newer Server 2012 running. I do not use the simple installation that I always had problems with it, so I installed each item one at a time, SSO, inventory Services, Vcenter Server and VSphere client.

  Everything is fine until I hit VCenter server and it fails saying it was installed, but some components have not been installed. I read in the newspaper, but it seems to me to miss something. As I am a store a man here I keep get ripped and I was wondering if someone here please offers an overview?

  I have attached the log.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

• Using VMotion with 2 ESX and VCenter

  Hi all

  I just installed with ESX 2 VSphere and & VCenter. I can't use VMotion to migrate a virtual machine running one ESX towards each other.

  My setup is as follows:

  the iSCSI Software initiator.

  data store even shared by 2 facilitators.

  same conf network on the 2 hosts, none vlan used (set to 0):

  • vSwitch0 for the Service console, connected to the network of the company (vmnik0)

  • vSwitch1 for virtual machine network (connected to the company network vmnic1) and VMkernel (for vmotion, connected to the production network: san, vmnic2).

  Error displayed (at 10%): a general error occurred: the VMotion failed because the ESX host failed to connect to the VMotion network, please check your physical network configuration and settings network VMotion.

  vmnic2 on ESX1 is configured with 255.255.0.0 192.168.130.X mask and connected to eth0 on iSCSI SAN

  vmnic2 on ESX2 is configured with 255.255.0.0 192.168.131.X mask and connected to eth1 on iSCSI SAN

  Two VLAN different connection to the iSCSI SAN. You should have the same subnet, but a different IP addresses (if any) connecting to the San from each host (depends on the SAN)... For example 192.168.130.25 for ESX1 and 192.168.130.30 for ESX2. Unless your SAN network covers actually two subnets on your local network, you create a question where you don't need to. I would also use separate NETWORK card for vMotion traffic and another for iSCSI. Separate them VM traffic too (makes everything cleaner and less chance of collisions and too load performance causing one issues for each other. This is why it is a good idea to have at least four, if not six, physical NIC (or ports) within an ESX/ESXi server.

• Integration of OM for task inventory vCenter fails for a host

  Hello.

  I've updated my plugin for integration of OM to 1.7 2.0. I have three hosts 5.5 ESXi and vCenter 5.5 device.

  The analysis of the inventory on one of these three hosts fails. I did the changes on the hosts and the inventory, used to work for guests when I used the plugin version 1.7. During testing of connection profile I get not all errors and information iDRAC identification and credentials to the host with green checkmarks on all hosts, including the one who gets the failure of the inventory scanning.

  When you look at the newspapers I see a lot of security-messages and then "cannot get an IP iDRAC for host {0}" and "failure of the inventory for host 1 of 3".

  Any suggestions?

  Because we support 5.5 with 1.7 install it must have been new for the hosts and vCenter.    OMSA can sometimes get messed up during upgrades. Please verify that this host is consistent in the compliance Wizard in the full desktop client. In addition, you can verify that you are a build 61? If you are on build 59 try to switch to the current 2.0 version. Change the path of update to linux.dell.com/.../latest

  • Run the update
  • This update, you will have to build 2.0.0.1262
  • After the update, lack of movement to the original path to ensure you'll see future updates.

• the internal HARD drive has been corrupted and I fails to make the back upward. need information.

  I've owned an HP Pavilion dm1-LQ862PA #UUF, used to be windows 7-64 bit. the internal hard drive has been corrupted and recommended to replace another. they were asking for the backup cd and I failed to do, and I do not regret it. Well, except to lose all my files and programs that I installed, it will also include bluetooth, wi - fi and other important built in programs? I'm not a computer expert. If ever these important programs had totally disappeared, how retrieve it? my laptop in an HP authorized service center will be probably expensive and I decided to buy a new HARD drive and ask someone to put it in and install a new OS. Please help thanks

  Hello:

  There is a support for your PC page where all the software drivers to run the hardware on your PC such as bluetooth and wireless can be reinstalled.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/WC/product?product=5079502 & CC = US & DLC = in & LC = on & query = LQ862PA & Tool=.

  What I don't see is the availability of recovery disks to reinstall the operating system (windows 7 64-bit) or your PC programs (other than those listed in the link of support above).

  This means that if you want to replace the hard drive, you must make your own W7 64-bit installation media and use the 7 product key of Microsoft windows on the bottom of your PC to activate the installation.

  That assumes you can read all 25 characters of the product key windows 7.

  Here's how...

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

  The replacement hard drive should be a 320 GB SATA II 5 400 rpm Disk If you want the same specification provided with your PC hard drive.

  Please refer to Chapter 4 of the service manual on the link below for the procedures for removal and replacement of the hard disk.

• Time Machine don't prune the old El Capitan backups and works out of space and "backup fails.

  With the help of El Capitan 10.11.1, I noticed a change in behavior with the handling of the time Machine of large files, specifically the files of virtual disk VMWare Fusion (about 50 large concerts).  After a few weeks of use of fusion VM virtual machine, Time Machine gives an error where it ran out of space and "backup failed."

  I had the same problem occur on a second iMac that I own.

  I reformatted my external drive for Time Machine and started fresh, but after a few weeks, I got the same error again.  It seems that Time Machine is not the size or remove older backups of VMware virtual disk to provide a space for the new.

  Previous versions of Mac OS X and Time Machine had no problem with the backup of large files such as these.

  Has anyone else noticed "backup failed" message with Time Machine on El Capitan?  I know that I can exclude the disk virtual VMware backup, but that defeats the entire purpose of Time Machine backups.  Any suggestions?

  Time Machine automatically deletes older snapshots to make room for the new. If your backup history is shorter than expected, it may be because you want to save one or more large files frequently.

  Software virtualization VMware, Parallels or VirtualBox creates a large virtual disk container that is constantly evolving. It will not be saved at all while the virtual machine running, and at other times it must be saved each Time Machine performance. Who fills up quickly any backup destination.

  You must exclude files from virtual drive of your Time Machine backups. To do this, click the Options button in the Time Machine preferences window. You can also do this to virtualization, application settings. Back up the files on the virtual disk within the comments system, using a native backup application.

  A compromise solution is to create a 'snapshot' of the virtual machine in the virtualization software (not a Time Machine snapshot.) This will give you a single large file that never changes and only has to be saved once. All future changes will be stored in a file that is much smaller initially, but will grow over time. You must always exclude this backup TM file. If you need to restore the computer virtual of Time Machine, you will have a working configuration, which will be easy for you to restore the rest of the data in the system of comments.
