• Upgrade to vSphere client 5.1 U1 but using vCenter/ESXi 5.1 (not U1)

  So I saw this recommendation from VMware:

  -----------

  The sequence for vSphere 5.1 update update 1 and their compatible VMware product (2037630)

  If you are using vSphere Client in your environment, it is recommended that you upgrade the vSphere Client to version 5.1 update 1.

  -----------

  
  

  My ESXi servers are still 5.1 (build 799733, some to the build 1021289), and my vCenter Server 5.1.0 build 947673. I should be able to install this patch for the client vSphere on my workstation without problem. It is recommended that VMware, right? That the client must be upgraded, regardless of the version of the host?

  
  

  (I still don't think that the web client (again), so I want to continue to use the vSphere client, if and when I can)

  
  

  Thank you

  
  

  the client is backward compatible, you should be fine

• Incorrect version of vCenter (4.0 Update 1 .iso) on the Download Center?

  I just downloaded theVMware vCenter Server 4 Update 1 ISO image, build 208156 (19/11/2009) from the site of VMware download yesterday and did a fresh install of Virtual Center on a fresh Windows 2003 R2 server.  When I run the VI client and check the version # (help, "about VMware vSphere), he pointed out the version 4.0.0 (Build 208111) for the vSphere Client and Version 4.0.0 build 208111 for VMware vCenter Server.

  The name of the .iso that I used to install it is: VMware-VIMSetup-all - 4.0.0 - 208156.iso, which is supposed to be

  VMware vCenter Server 4 Update 1. so I wonder why I show the older Build # or is that correct? Shouldn't there a newer build? Post edited by: GTPerry

  you have the correct version.

• You cannot use vSphere client to change the settings of the virtual machine v10 or more

  Hello

  I just downloaded new version of Kali Linux to do some tests with my free version of ESXi update 5.5 2, the problem is that I can't change the settings of the virtual machine in vSphere Client.

  It's so good because of the independence of Web OS Client vSphere but what about the free version? Everyone knows you need a vCenter running successfully and a license for the vSphere Web Client.

  There is no free version of VMWare vCenter.

  Nice day.

• Regarding the hosts took max supported on Vcenter Virtual Appliance 5.0

  http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vsphere5/R50/vSphere-50-configuration-maximums.PDF

  Maximum config guide indicates that vsphere 5.0 supports the hosts of 1000 per VC. The same applies to the virtual appliance thus (on an external Oracle DB... not the one internal)

  Concerning

  Girish

  The same should apply to the device when you use an external database. But with several guests it would be wise to take the same settings with the Windows version of vCenter, which means increase the memory of tomcat and adding vCPUs additional and resources of the virtual machine RAM.

• vCenter Virtual Appliance - Autodeploy Service Autostart

  Hello

  I would like to that the Autodeploy vmWare service starts automatically when the VCSA Boote

  I see a few services with chkconfig

  VMware-inventoryservice off
  VMware-netdumper on
  VMware-rbd-watchdog off
  VMware-sps off
  VMware-tools on
  VMware-vpxd on
  vSphere client on

  but nothing explicitly referring to autodeploy

  what one do I need to turn to get autodeploy to launch at startup?

  Thank you

  VMware-rbd-watchdog is the deployment Service automatic (RBD means rule of a deployment) and that it is automatically the auto-start value, you just need to use the command chkconfig for service.

  Run the following command and this will ensure that the service start automatically on startup

  vmware-rbd-watchdog on chkconfig

• vCenter Virtual Appliance - deploy servers through templates

  I have installed ESXi5 and I deployed the vCenter via the OVF. This forum works without any problem. However, I would like to clone a templete for future creations of VM virtual machine. However, I get the message warning 'customization windows resources are found on the server. On Server 2008 R2 I would just download the sysprep files relevant to the specified locations, however using the OVF I can't find the right place to put the files.

  Please can someone advise the use of models and cloning in Version 5 of ESXi, when you use the vCenter via the OVF.

  Kind regards

  Skynite.

  You must download the sysprep on the vCenter device files, the path is/etc/vmware-vpx/sysprep.

• vCenter virtual appliance Installation on shared storage

  Hello

  I'll start testing virtualization soon, and for storage, I'll use a Synology NAS DS212j. My goal is to create a cluster with two servers ESXi, with the virtual machines stored on the NAS.

  My question is should I plug my nas iSCSI on my ESXi and then deploy the model to the OVA of the appliance virtual vcenter or deploy the eggs on the physical storage of one of my ESXi and then I try it moved to the shared storage?

  I'm not sure if my question is simple, but thank you for your answer!

  C. N.

  Happy, I can help you

  You must configure the iSCSI conifguration for each host, Yes.

  But the second and all other guests later then analyze the map iSCSI and see the VMFS data store that you created with the first host and set up automatically.

  You don't need to add each host in the cluster even if. You only do that when you want to use functions such as HA and DRS on the hosts within the cluster.

• SRM plugin has me re - authenticate each time after I have logged in vSphere client?

  After I authenticate the client vSphere and then proceed to the section of Site recovery, I wonder to be re - authenticate the vCenter recovery.

  Is it possible to store my credentials, so I sign in twice now when I need for activities of MRS?  Once for vsphere client, and then back to recovery vcenter as SRM is plugged.

  Thank you.

  This is a normal activity and there is not yet a cache for the other site identification method, would be awesome to have device assuming that the remote site is located in the area of trust or A.D. even.

• Problems with virtual center/vsphere client

  Hello

  We use Vsphere client 4.0.0 build 208111 with Virtual Center Server version and same build.

  I have 2 problems:

  1. I have a virtual machine with only one disc that is shown on 2 different data stores. If I look through the models and virtual computers, I see only 1 vm. If I look through the data warehouse screen, I see it in the store data-002 and 003-store data. If I go to the settings of the virtual machine on the datastore-002 and check the disk, I see the path in the store of data-003.

  How can I fix?

  2. I turned on a windows 2003 vm. I couldn't close it via customer vpshere because the status of VM Tools showed not running. When I logged in the system, he showed OK and then I could close by the customer.

  Do I always login for virtual machine tools to perform?

  Thank you

  Haim defending

  This virtual machine has a CD / ISO mounted?  What happens if you click edit setting on the virtual machine, that says the file of the disk?

  Also, go to the service console and watching a .vmx file, it should say something like

  scsi0:1.fileName = "servername.vmdk"
  

  Then look at the hard, it should point to something like

   VMFS "servername-flat.vmdk"
  

• 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

• Version 3.0 on 5.5 vCenter using vSphere client

  New vCenter 5.5 (build 2646482) most recent of the VMware Web site.

  vSphere client 5.5 (of course)

  Brilliant new V3.0 of OMIVV

  Installation device and registered in vCenter without error.

  Seems to work in the VMware web client (I'm still exploring). I can manually add servers iDRAC.

  Since the heavy Win32 client, I don't get the Wizard but I get an empty bar in the middle of the screen with "Error #2048" down at the bottom.

  My client is Win7 x 64 with IE10 default browser.

  Where to start?

  See you soon

  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.

  Thank you

• I can't connect to Vcenter using vsphere client

  I installed vCenter 6.0 and vsphere client 6.0. I can connect to the web client, but when I am connected to vCenter using vsphere client I got error.

  

  In vsphere version 5.5 I can connect to vCenter using vsphere client 5.5.

  I can't find any information on this subject on vmware.com.

  Do vsphere 6.0 support connecting to vCenter using vsphere client?

  I guess you are using Vsphere Client beta built which has only the features of client enabled host.

  Try GA build Client to connect to vCenter. However, the latest vsphere 5.1 leave are available only in the web client.

• Impossible to connect to vCenter Server 5.5 using the vSphere Client

  Hello

  
  

  I'm trying to configure VMware Lab home using the link below and I have reached a stage where I need to connect to vCenter Server using the vSphere client.

  
  http://boerlowie.WordPress.com/2011/12/13/building-the-ultimate-vSphere-lab-part-9-ESXi/

  
  

  I installed the package of 5.5 full vCenter server using the simple installation option and it includes vCenter server, single sign - on, Webclient vSphere, vCenter server and vCenter Server inventory service. All the the latter is installed on a virtual machine that is running Windows server 2008 R2 guest OS.

  
  

  Whenever I try to open a session on the vCenter Server uses the vSphere client, one of the following error is displayed.

  
  

  1. you do not have the permissions to connect to the server 'vCenter server IP address.

  2. cannot complete the connection incorrect username or password-, this error is visible when I do not specify domain\username domain user name and simply enter the user name.

  
  

  For the details of the error, please see the screenshots - vSphere_client_1, vSphere_client_2 and vSphere_client_3.

  
  

  As suggested in the link below, I tried to create an SPN and then set the SPN (Principal of Service name) and the UPN (User Principal name) in the Active Directory identity Source using the web of vSphere client (please see screenshot vSphere_Webclient_2)

  
  

  http://vinfrastructure.it/2014/01/issue-in-logging-into-vCenter-server-using-Windows-ad-credentials/

  
  

  To fix the permission error, I tried to add the domain user to the Administrators group on the server vCenter (see screenshot vSphere_Webclient_1).

  
  

  However, none of the above-mentioned resolution has worked.

  
  

  So can someone please help? I am stuck because of this problem and badly need help to move forward.

  
  

  Thank you

  AJMAL
  

  Able to connect to the vSphere Client do you use the [email protected] account?

  Have you already set up permissions on the server vCenter object?
