VSphere client 5 cohabiting with VCenter 4.1

Hi all.  I have an environment vSphere with VCenter Server 4.  I now have an ESXi 5 autonomous (free version, no VCenter) host that I need to set up a client.  I want to be able to do is to install and run the client VSphere 5 on the same workstation where the client VSphere 4.1 is now installed and running, but I don't want to interfere with my existing environment.  I have never tried to run two different versions of the VSphere client on a single machine.  I installed the v.5.0 customer but I don't know how to start.  When I run the client normally, he opens the client 4.1 original. I tried to do a little research in the forums and documentation, but I can't find anything that specifically addresses this problem.

I guess that there is probably some kind of command line that I could use to do what I want. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

having multiple clients is perfectly acceptable and taken in charge.  Based on the environment connect you to the Launcher will 'launch' the correct client.

Clients may seem alike, but when you log in your environment, you will see that they are build different levels (help - on VMware vSphere)

  • I need some help please (web Vsphere client connection problem with Vcenter)

    Dear professionals

    I can not connect to the server via the customer web vicenter.

    I have installed and configured the following successfully:

    -esxi5.5

    -Win 2008 server1 (installed on AD)

    -Server2 Win 2008 joined to the domain, then I installed on: sso, inventory, customer web Vsphere and vcenter server service

    as you can see in the attached photos, when I double click on the client vsphere of wen I should be able to log on to the server vcenter, but I couldn't do it.

    do not forget that I logged Win 2008 server2 as a domain administrator, then I installed sso, inventory, customer web Vsphere and vcenter server service

    the WebClient service is runningand I tried https://server.example.com:9443 / vsphere client.

    There are more than two things, I noticed:

    -When I turned the web customer service I got the certificate error (see photo).

    -When I typed nslookup in the domain controller I got the error message.  web vsphere client error is related to the DNS error in the domain controller?


    Please see the pictures attached.

    Please tell me what to do if you have any idea or what is the cause of this problem.

    Please let me know as soon as possible because I've stuck to that point where I can't connect to the via customer web vsphere vcenter.

    Best regards

    Please register these two servers to the DNS entry field. and make sure both servers firewall set OFF mode.  If the production environment please check the network connection by using the network firewall team.

  • unit of replication vSphere does not fit with vCenter

    unit of replication vSphere does not fit with vCenter (I don't see vsphere tab replication, configuration of the replication of vSphere even not when right click on a particular virtual machine.)

    Only warning I received during the process of deployment has been warning that it will bind with vCenter vService Extension.

    I registered in vCenter, even restarted vCenter, still nothing...

    Another weird symptom, it's that when I browse the web client vCenter Server Extensions - may not load at all (a circle going round in circles without effect what so ever)-same thing when I try to navigate vApps...

    I tried to cancel registration of vRA vCenter from configuration vRA website, but he told me "Management Extension error: org.apache.http.NoHttpResponseException: the target server has not responded'.»»

    Also the 'VRM service is stopped,' I can read on the bottom of the Setup page (leave it only result in a temporary 'on the road' and 'arrested' status).

    This unit of replication vSphere vSphere Client watch is present (with dependency: Extension Installation vCenter) in vService Manager in vCenter Solutions Manager tab.

    It works when saw vcenter and vRM on the same subnet. Maybe my router/firewall is buggy, too bad. To drop the case.

  • V5 vSphere Client VI - connectivity to vCenter Server via the non-ideal DNS configuration

    Here's a theoretical question that I fight for an answer at the bottom.   For example, the question is:
    ..
    You have a VI Client in Active Directory (AD) domain n ° 1 with its own DNS, DNS #1 System.
    You have a server vCenter and ESX hosts in AD #2 with its own system DNS, DNS #2 domain
    The vCenter server and esx in AD #2 servers have DNS entries in DNS as follows #2...
    vcenter1. DNS2.com
    Esx1.DNS2.com
    ESX2. DNS2.com
    However, in AD #1 the same servers have entered DNS DNS #1 as follows...
    vcenter1. DNS1.com
    Esx1.DNS1.com
    ESX2. DNS1.com
    The VI in AD #1 client must connect properly on the vCenter server, using the DNS #1 name vcenter1.dns1.com.   It's pretty obvious.  However, what happens when you start a console KVM remotely to one of the virtual machines on VMware ESX Server?  I don't think it'll work.  I think that the VI client is trying to communicate with the service console of the ESX Server hosting the virtual machine by using the DNS entry of the ESX Server that is known to vCenter server, IE esx1.dns2.com, which is not a FULL domain name in the DNS # 1 VI client.
    I need to review this issue for VC2.5U6 with ESX 3.5U5 and an implementation of vSphere 5, even though I think that it is the same for all versions.   Incidentally, I read KB749640, talking about DNS but I don't think it covers where the VI client is a DNS domain disparate with DNS names of the esx servers different to the one known by the VC server.
    I hope the above is clear.  Can develop if necessary
    Thank you, Jan

    ESX host name is esx1.test.com.

    In provided customer vSphre the hostname for connectivity is different. for example: esx1.prod.com, however this name is directed to the same host with intellectual property.

    To do this, we edit hosts file c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.

  • Setting up a location of scrape persistent by using the vSphere Client

    Hello

    I have an application on behalf of data store when you configure the location scratch using vsphere client.

    This is the step that I have to perform to set up the scratch location and my query is

    I have to specify the name of the data store for step 10, as what I see through the vsphere client IE Datastore1 (vmfs/volumes/Datastore1/.locker - ESXHostname)

    OR

    What I need to specity the unique id that I am able to see in ESXi console that is to say 50060160c46036df50060160c46036df (/vmfs/volumes/50060160c46036df50060160c46036df/.locker- ESXHostname)

    What would be the effect? Configuration with the name of the data store for the vSphere client.

    You can configure the workspace for ESXi using the vSphere Client:

    1. Connect to vCenter Server or ESXi host using the vSphere Client.
    2. Select the ESXi host in the inventory.
    3. Click the Configuration tab.
    4. Click storage.
    5. Click a data store, and then select Browse.
    6. Create a directory named only for this ESX host (for example, .locker-ESXHostname )
    7. Close the browser to store data.
    8. Click Advanced under software settings.
    9. Select the ScratchConfig section.
    10. Change the configuration option to ScratchConfig.ConfiguredScratchLocation , indicating the full path to the directory.

      For example:

      / vmfs/volumes/DatastoreName /. Locker-ESXHostname


    11. Click OK.
    12. The ESXi host in maintenance mode and restart so that the configuration change to take effect.

    I ran a quick test on my test environment. You can safely enter data store, it will be automatically replaced by UUID data store when required restarting.

  • vSphere Client display language VI

    Hi all. I try to help someone to find an answer to their question and at the same time answering the question for me. Basically, the problem is after you install the VI Client of vSphere that I am triyng to have the language that appears in English. I'm on PC with a Japanese version of Windows. I found the following command which presents some of the menu in English, but not all "vpxClient-local en_US'."

    He States also according to the ESX and vCenter vCenter Server Installation Guide ESX 4 4 page 88 ' this selection controls the language for only the installer. When you use the vSphere Client to connect to vCenter Server system, vSphere Client appears in the language associated with the setting of locale on your machine. You can change this behavior with a statement from command line or by modifying the regional settings in the registry of the machine. See the Basic System Administration. "

    For me, it means that I can change the default language permanently by editing the registry. Paragraph points me to the Basic System Administration guide (http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_40_admin_guide.pdf) but there is no mention at all about editing the registry, or anything else related to the language in this guide.

    If anyone knows what I have to change in the registry, that it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    See you soon

    Kevin

    Hello

    I had the same problem and I ve tested the following command line:

    local vpxclient-en              (now the vsphere client is English)

    vpxclient - regional settings              (now the vsphere client is German)

    It would be a nice feature to add a small language-drop-down list (same as use credentials to log on to windows)

  • vSphere Client exe file take run

    Hello

    I downloaded the client vSphere exe file and double click it.

    It shows the normal 'open file - security warning' like any what other exe and I press button 'run '.

    Nothing happens.

    When I run the file as an administrator, nothing happens too. nothing. as I have not yet pushed.

    my computer:

    CPU Intel i7 2600 3.4 Ghz

    4 G memory

    Win7 Enterprise

    64 bit.

    Why nothing is happening when I ru the vSphere Client install exe?

    More questions than one. Run any software protection AV or endpoint on the host? In this case, make sure that these applications do not block installation. Even if this was not a problem with the vSphere Client - but only with VMware Workstation/Player - looking for a process of "fixcamera.exe". If this is the case, you can try to kill him before starting the installation.

  • vSphere Client 1 update

    I'm embarrassed to ask this question because I know it's something I should be able to understand my own.  But I can't seem to find a way to download the update for vSphere client to use with my ESXi installation as well as the update for ESXi itself.

    I found a few links, but they all required me to enter a serial number or a contract with VMware service to download the update.

    For the Chargers for free, where can I download the update and get the help of Win 7 without hacky workarounds?

    No, the Host Update Utility is a separate application.

    During the installation of vSphere Client ask you if you want to install it. If you did, you should have it in the Start Menu (programs-> VMware)

    This utility can be used to upgrade from version 3.5 to 4.0, as well as ESXi 4 patch. To patch your current version, use the buttons "Scan for Patches.

  • Free version of ESXi can support for configuration of start and stop virtual machines via vSphere Client?

    I have read and found some documents on ESXi.

    According to the documents, I know that ESXi free version does not support some advanced virtual machine configurations and does not support write to ESXi host permission. But when I download ESXi from vmware.com, I can't find the free version. He will always be a trial of the licensed version edition because I can always do the configuration of start and stop virtual machines via vSphere Client installation. I can also run scripts (lamw) pl in vMA to stop the ESXi host (authorization to write ok?)

    Then I confused. How can I get the really free version of ESXi? Or will the free version after 60 days of evaluation?

    Start/stop above configuration is in vSphere Client via 'Configuration'-> "start/stop VM"-> "Properties"... «-> "Allow the virtual computers start and stop automatically with the system" actions setting and stop virtual machines can be configured to "comments"turn off computer"or"Suspend".» Can any body tell me if it's supported by ESXi free edition?

    Is the free version of vSphere Client too? Because when I use the vSphere Client, he told me that I have 60 days of evaluation. This confused me again. I think that vSphere Client is always free, am I right?

    Any suggestion or advice is much appreciated.  _

    Micky

    Configuration of start and stop virtual machines is available with the free version and licensed, with the free version you would be configured everything via vSphere Client, where as with a licensed version, you can optionally use scripts to configure it and also issue restarts/stops using scripts.

    Second, shutdownHostViaSOAPAPICall.pl for the version licensed and free of ESX (i), this script will work in both free and licensed because it uses direct SOAP calls emulating the vSphere Client communication. Take a look at the documentation for details, but this of course is not supported by VMware.

  • vCenter 5.5 sso works with web client but not for vsphere client

    Hello

    Just upgraded my vcenter from 5.0 to 5.5. In 5.0, I could connect to the vSphere client, using my creds of windows session, but now I can't and have to use the local account that is a member of the Administrators group local machine or [email protected]. However, it works very well with the web client.

    The Source of the identity seems to be correctly set. Have searched for a solution for four days. I'm at my wits end... :-(

    Hello Ian,

    Try the following steps:

    1. Disconnect and connect to VMware Desktop client (thick client).
    2. Go to home > hosts and Clusters > select any host Dell > click the tab "OpenManage Intégration" and wait for it to load
    3. Now, click on Home > Dell Management Center, it should work now.

    Let me know how it goes.
