vSphere 4.1 and Win2008R2

Hello

I downgraded my v5 to v4.1 license and downloaded the vCenter 4.1 ISO server.

Then, I downloaded the ISO in the data store and put the vm Win2008R2 CDs to the

ISO.   I ran Setup and clicked on "VMWare vCenter Server.  It load

but pops up an error stating:

"This product cannot be installed on the operation of 64 bits

systems:

Windows XP SP2 or higher

Windows Server 2003

Windows Server 2008"

This means Windows 2008R2 is out of the question?

Thank you

Edmund

Yes!

Installation of vCenter Server 4.1 on a domain controller is not supported.

  • The path 'Administrator@VSPHERE.LOCAL.log' and 'noUser.log' in VCENTER 6.0

    Hi all

    I have deployed the plugin in vcenter 6.0 and it is deployed successfully.

    I found the diary of the Virgin in C:\ProgramData\VMware\vCenterServer\logs\vsphere-client\logs.

    But I could not find "[email protected]" and "noUser.log" where my plugin will record all the problems.

  • vSphere 5.0 and 5.5 ESXi cluster

    Hello

    We intend to improve vsphere 5.0 and 5.5 in 2015.  We are truly in a process of buying new servers and I would like to know if I can get the two 5.0 and 5.5 to ESXi ESXi in the same cluster.  If it is possible I vMotion virtual machines in 5.0 for servers 5.5 ESXi ESXi servers and get the ESXi 5.0 on the cluster.

    Thank you.

    Yes, you will first get vCenter to 5.5 and you cannot upgrade the hardware virtual past version 9 until all hosts have been upgraded.  In addition, you cannot move data warehouses to VMFS5 until all hosts have been upgraded.

    I hope this helps...

  • Differences between the ISCSI connections to the storage in vSphere 4.1 and 5.0.

    I'm in trouble of setting up the connections of storage in a new VSphere 5.0 test environment. In our environment VSphere 4.1, it was possible to create a virtual switch add two Broadcom NetXtreme II 5709 NIC. Set assets. IP Hash value as load balancing. (LACP Etherchannel on physical switches) This configuration uses a grain port and a single IP address. Then add our NetApp NFS storage and ISCSI Equillogic storage. In VSphere 5.0, I can't create this same configuration. I have to create separate with separate IP addresses vmkernal ports? The idea was to have redundant connections to the storage and flow of these two NETWORK cards. Possibly adding additional if necessary to the futuer NETWORK cards. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    How can I work around this:

    "VMkernel network adapter must have an active link exactly and no waiting rising to be eligible for the iSCSI HBA connection."

    I can certainly say that the way which allows you to configure the iSCSI Multipathing is incorrect.

    The main idea is to let Native Multipathing Plugin to decide what network path to choose, not the vSwitch.

    At the level of the network layer, you must have 1 VMK by a physical NIC.

    This technique applies as well for vSphere 4.1 and 5.0, but with the 5.0 it is configured easier and more quickly.

    Here's a very brief consequence of steps

    1. get 2 VMK interfaces and assign an IP by each VMK.

    2. set each VMK to use only one physical NETWORK adapter

    3 GB with storage iSCSI software adapter, turn it on and bind your VMKs 2.

    4 connect to your iSCSI storage space

    5 rescan devices, create the VMFS datastore

    6. set the desired load balancing VMFS method or just set up a prior default create new VMFS

    and it is strongly recommended to read this guide - http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-50-storage-guide.pdf

    Hello

    I'm sorry but I don't understand the position, but if I'm right you wonder why the office are different.

    It is simply because the desktop 8.0.3 Fedora 17 can start the new interface of Gnome 3, on vSphere 4.1, it can be started and Fedora will then be restored in "compatibility mode".

  • vSphere 4i? and 4?

    Hey guys,.

    I noticed, vsphere 4 versions and 4i, I guess they're on the lines of 3.5 and 3.5i the latter having does not access the consoles and the smallest footprint.

    I thought vmware away from 4 and was moving in foot print smaller version the 'i' (Please correct my jargon here)

    Is it wise for me to load the host 3.5i with 4 4.5i (upgrade)?

    Anyone have this problem?  I loaded vSphere 4.0 host ESX 3.5 and everything seems to work very well yesterday, after sleep more testings and this error arose:

    What is MKS mean in this case?  Server key from Microsoft or the key management server?

    When you click on the console of a virtual machine, the server that hosts the vm responds back with its host name for your client to connect to.  Thus, the MKS console could not be connected to, and you could not see the virtual machine console, until you updated name resolution.  Given that the ESX host is back with a name, the customer could not resolve the name, if your client could not connect to the virtual computer mouse, keyboard, screen.  Hope that makes more sense.

  • Openfiler and vsphere 4.0 and esx 3.5. possible?

    Hi all

    I with openfiler iscsi san using vmware workstation 6.5 method and worked well.  I wonder if you can install the virtual machine within vsphere 4.0 and esx 3.5 openfiler and create the 80 GB drive and make iscsi san.  Anyone know if this work.  I tried the same method with vmware workstation 6.5 and did not work.  Help me please.

    If it is essentially a test environment POC, it should be fine, but using VMware workstation 6.5 method would be good enough for then why try you this method?  You can use other appliances virtual network of Lefthand, target iSCSI rocket Division, Xtravirt VSA, etc... Or, I place openfiler VM on a laptop or a cheap PC and run as your NFS/iSCSI solution.

  • vSphere 5.8 and 6 replication

    Hello

    I'm running a vCenter 6 on a site and my secondary site a vCenter 5.5

    I would like to know if I can connect with replication of vSphere. I know vrm 6 is not compatible with vcenter 5.5 and 5.8 vrm is not compatible with vcenter 6

    But vrm vrm-compatible 5.8 6?

    THX in advance for the answer.

    Cyril

    The only support is to upgrade your vcenter seconday to 6.0, and then upgrade your VRM on this site to 6.0/6.1

    * vSphere 5.8 replication only supports vCenter server 5.1 to 5.5

    * vSphere 6.0/6.1 replication support only vCenter Server 6

    * vCenter Server 6.0 Update 1 supports only vSphere 6.1 replication

    I've only seen problems when leaving a VRM on an older version of replication failures, connections between interrupted VRM and so forth, I don't think that same mixed VMware supported versions of VRM.

  • Problems with vSphere 6.0 and IIS 8.5

    Hi all


    We have a very rare problem currently with IIS on a new version of vSphere 6.0.  We run 3 host ESX enterprise in a standard cluster with a standalone VCSA.

    The problems that we know are response times in IIS.  We lack an asp.net web application using ado.net to extract simple data sets in a cluster SQL from 2012.  The web server running Windows Server R2 with IIS 8.5.9600.16384 2012.  It comes to virtualized.  Our SQL servers are also running on Windows Server 2012 R2, but this is a physical cluster.  All components are updated running the latest windows patches, fixes vmware, etc.

    We have tried to limit the problem using wireshark, we noticed that speeds improved dramatically when running wireshark.  We have finally pinned it down to the NETWORK card is in promiscuous mode - mode "Promiscuous", web response times app are sub 100ms, and when we disable the promiscuous mode, response time pop up to 4 + seconds.

    I found a few articles that might put this question of vSphere RARP and NLB in unicast mode, but we do not use NLB on any of these servers, and many of our tests were performed on servers IIS "standalone".

    Someone encountered this problem before, and anyone has pointers?

    Thank you

    It looks exactly like the problem that is described in this thread:

    vmxnet3 adapter on windows server 2012 with problem of bottleneck for MSSQL Server

    You also use the vmxnet3 vNIC?

    If yes are trying one of these workarounds mentioned in the other thread (I'd go with LRO to start, do not forget to restart):

    E1000E use instead of vmxnext3

    Use jumbo frames (not really good for us but can be one good option for others...)

    Disable the LRO on a VMXNET3: enable or disable LRO on VMXNET3 adapter on a Windows Virtual Machine

    Turn on LRO overall on a Windows Virtual Machine

  • Create a new vsphere environment 6 and migrate virtual machines to esxi existing 5.1

  • QueryResultNotFoundException was lifted when a workflow is called in vsphere client web and select a cluster

    Hello

    I use vsphere vCenter 6.0 and 6.0 Orchestrator vRealize. I save the vRO the vCenter in web client vRealize Orchestrator plugin.

    VRO 6.0 here is a "Add host to cluster" workflow under vCenter-> Host-> check management. I have add this workflow in the web client, so that I can call him when I right-click on a cluster.

    I run this workflow and select a cluster in the first stage, and click Next. An error like this:

    com VMware.o11n.Sdk.QueryService.QueryResultNotFoundException: could not find the object of type 'VC:ClusterComputeResource' with the id 'WIN-VCENTER6.MYDOMAIN.COM/domain-c28 '.

    I tried a few other env but get the same error. I also tried 5.5 and 5.5 vCO vCenter, and it worked fine.

    Does anyone know if this is a bug or if I can avoid this error by configuring my env? Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards

    Vicky

    Hi Vicky,

    When you have configured the server vCenter by vRO (using 'Add a vCenter server instance' the workflow), how did you address vCenter server - as an IP (for example. 10.20.23.34) or as a fully qualified hostname (eg. WIN-VCENTER6. MYDOMAIN.COM)? Please make sure that it was the last; If you have added your vCenters vRO using IP addresses or short host names, there might be a few problems, so you need to de-register the vRO vCenter and add them again.
