• vCenter 5.5 Virtual Appliance and SSL certificates

  I currently have vCenter 5.5 under Windows 2008 R2.  I've been thinking to replace my Windows with the appliance vCenter vCenter virtual.

  I have read the documentation on the SSL certificates for vCenter.  I bought a RapidSSL SSL certificate on my current server vCenter.  It seems that everything is working correctly, but the documentation I read says I need a different cert for various services such as inventory, Journal browser and AutoDeploy Service.

  VCenter requires there really that many different certificates?

  Yes, each component of vCenter server requires unique SSL certificate:

• client vSphere and vCenter server

  The vsphere compatibility page 14 OS compatibility tables.  I see that Windows 2000 server sp4 has no compatibility with client vSphere and vCenter server.  This means that if you have 2000 servers in your current VMware environment you must upgrade the operating system or?

  Hello and welcome to the forums.

  Information on p.14 means that Windows 2000 SP4 is not compatible with (in other words, you can not install) the Client vSphere, vCenter Server and VMware vCenter Update Manager.

  Specific versions of Windows 2000 Server can be verified to support in the Compatibility Guides.  As long as you plan to run the Client vSphere, vCenter Server or VMware vCenter Update Manager on Windows 2000 virtual machines, you'll probably be fine.  It depends on which version of Windows 2000, you have, but just check the compatibility guide to be sure.

  Good luck!

• I7 2600 k P8H67-i Deluxe MB and vCenter Server ESXi 5 appliance

  I7 2600 k P8H67-i Deluxe MB and vCenter Server, 16 GB, and ESXi 5 device

  One has been able to run vCenter Server Appliance on this material?

  vCenter Server Appliance does not start

  I run ESXi 4.1 on a server and more office built a user-friendly machine for ESXi 5

  ESXi 5 start ok, installs and runs a test VM ok.

  But after downloading appliance vCenter server and deployed the ovf, the virtual machine will not start.

  I'm reasonably confident that the deployment was OK, as I've done it before on ESXi 4.1 (but on a server with Xeon processor).

  The message of the console is

  
  Message of the Virtual Machine
  This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit operating systems. However, 64-bit
  operation is not possible.
  Longmode is disabled for this virtual machine
  For more information, see http://vmware.com/info?id=52
  Continue without 64 bit support

  Yes

  NO.

  If I select 'No', I get 'not enough video RAM.

  If I check the box 'Yes' I get

  This kernel requires an x 86-64 processor but only detected an i686 CPU.
  Could not start - please use a kernel suitable for your CPU.

  I've been through settings and advice re longmode, but just can't get the right settings.

  Thanks in advance for any response

  In order to run the 64-bit clients, you need to enable 'VT - x' in the system BIOS. In addition to this I also recommend you activate "Execute Disable Bit" and - if necessary - disable "VT - d" as well as "Trusted Execution". Once done, save the BIOS settings and the power of the system (power power off) cycle. If this does not resolve the problem, thanks for posting the latest vmware.log of the virtual machine.

• When I installed the web client vsphere using vcenter server iso, encounted an error that the vcenter server signon administrateu use name and password is invalid

  VCenter server is version 5.1 and this server is a member of the working group.

  It comes to my administrator:

  

  So, I used ISO server vcenter and installed web client pulg-in vsphere, it prompted:

  I've used many ways, but failed.

  usernme:admin@system-domain,

  so, I do not know how to solve, and I only know this administrator password.

  I'm not vCenter sign the only to have another admin, please help.

  

  and another question: how install and configure the data via the vsphere 5.1 customer protection, vsphere isn't vsphere web client.

  You must provide credentials for the user admin@system-domain.

• Can I convert my physics VCENTER server to virtual?  (P2V my vCenter Server)?

  I have my vCenter Server on an x 86 Sun Blade Server.  The chassis is end of life, and I want to spend my vCenter in its virtual environment.  I suppose it could work like any P2V, but are there any other measures special to do or be aware of?   I don't want to corrupt my environment.

  Here is a link to a KB that talks about how to restart the agents.  I had to do it when I had problems with an ESX host was experiencing problems connecting to vCenter.

• vSphere Client reports an incorrect version of vCenter Virtual Appliance

  vSphere Client 5.5 reports incorrect version of vCenter 5.5 Virtual Appliance. For example, vCVA build is 1891314, but in vSphere Client 5.5 GUI shows like 1891313 or vCVA build is 2170515 (last U2a), but in vSphere Client 5.5 GUI shows as 2001466

  I've updated the client to the latest version 1993072, but it made no difference.

  Any suggestions are appreciated.

  Thank you

• 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

  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?

  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.

• vCenter Server with vSphere Essentials best practices for small business

  I hesitated to post this thread for fear of redundancy, but I wasn't able to find an answer in previous discussions.

  I read the installation documentation for vSphere Essentials vCenter Server installation.

  
  Is it a good idea to install vCenter on my ESXi host as a virtual machine?  I don't understand how the server can be installed as a virtual machine if she must always be on.  What happens when I do the updates of the hypervisor, ESXi (4.0 to 4.1)?  This would not cause the vCenter Server to disconnect?

  Because I have Essentials, I don't have a HA and cannot migrate the server vCenter Server to another host as shown in the installation documentation.

  Thank you

  It should not be a problem - if you manually perform the update using either the esxupdate or vcenter command vihostupdate does not at all in the game - if you use VUM he actually intitiates the vihostupdate order - when restarting the host to be reconnecting to vcenter once it is running.

• VMnic changes do not replicate in Vsphere Client / Server vCenter Server

  Hello

  I have a vmswitch0 and vswitch1, I did the nic teaming vmnic0 and vmnic1 in vswitch0 more far, I have removed the vmnic1 vswitch0 and even connect to vswitch1 but in client vsphere or vcenter server, it always shows the vswitch0 contains vmnic1 and vnminc2 plase help me how to solve the problem.

  Concerning

  MrVmware

  I think that you have made these changes through the Service Console or RCLI. In this case, you must restart management services for the changes reflect in vCenter.

  service mgmt-vmware restart

  restart the vmware-vpxa service (optional)

  (I know, this basically triggers the vCenter to re-read the configuration files of the host for example esx.conf)

• Update Manager & virtualized vCenter Server

  Hello

  Kind of a chicken and the egg here problem.  How you clean up a with UpdateManager ESX Server if it is installed on vCenter server is virtualized on the same ESX box?  I only ESX Server at the moment, so I can't vmotion whatever it is turned off.  I tried to update in any case say, but may not enter maintenance mode since my vCenter server is still in place.

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  Looks like you yourself in trouble.

  You can still use other ways to patch your esx hosts.

  1. using the update of the VI, installed with the client.

  2 patch ESX host with esxupdate or use one of the many scripts online fixes (look for esx patch.pl)

• Upgrade a undersized vCenter Server

  A vCenter server for a small farm (4 hosts and about 200 VM) has been installed originally on the undersized material and should now be moved to an appropriate host more.

  I see two options, implementation of a crowd to dedicate or a virtual appliance.

  • If I select a dedicated physical host and perform the procedure on the page http://kb.vmware.com/kb/5850444, RAM-how much should I be implemented, given the same host must act as vCente and Update Manager? Based on the documentation, I'd than 4 GB, but from my experience I'm not sute 4 GB are enough: can someone please suggest good memory sizing?
    
  • If I select a virtual appliance, can I migrate the vCenter cuttent leave the host physical currend to the virtual appliance?
    
    • Given I can migrate the current vCenter to a virtual appliance, what are the disadvantages of the implementation of a virtual appliance instead of a physical host?
      
  • As can a last chance, I use VMware converter to convert the current vCenter to a virtual machine and install it inside the vSphere infrastructure?
    

  Concerning

  Marius

  The steps you mentioned should work ok. After the conversion of the virtual machine, make sure you reconfigure the IP settings and remove any material about the drivers and services that have been installed for the physical host and then install VMware Tools. I still suggest stop you the vCenter Server services and SQL-Server (in the case of a local installation) on the physical host computer before you start the conversion.

  About HA, vCenter is required for HA configuration. HA itself independently on the hosts, vcenter Server. While the vCenter Server is turned off the VMs system will continue to operate and some features such as vMotion, DRS,... which are initiated by vCenter Server is not available.

  I guess you don't have any other feature as View Composer,... installed on the server vCenter Server!
