• Compatibility of VMware vCenter Server 4 Foundation to vSphere with ESX 3 Standard VI

  We are already use VMware ESX Server 3.5 VI.

  Our intention is to buy VMware vCenter Server 4 Foundation for vSphere addition VI ESX 3.5 Server running on a separate server. Our concern is;

  1. is VMware vCenter Server 4 Foundation for backward compatible product vSphere with VMware ESX Server 3.5?

  2 If no, then is it a similar product of VMware, which is compatible with VMware ESX Server 3.5?

  Please notify.

  VMware vCenter Server Foundation 4.0 can handle up to 3 vSphere or legacy hosts.  If you need to manage more than 3 guests, you should definitely consider vCenter Server Standard edition.

• Upgrade vmware tools with Update manager

  Hello

  There seems to be some discussions about this.  I was not able to get a solid answer of «Yes, you can, and that's how...» "or"no, you can't "by following these discussions.

  So, can we use the Update Manager today to upgrade the tool invited?

  Thank you

  taken from the VMware vCenter Update Manager Administration Guide

  Manager update allows you to update the host ESX/ESXi, virtual appliances, VMware Tools and virtual hardware to virtual machines to a newer version, with the opportunity to decline the upgrade in case of failure. You can also configure preupgrade and postupgrade custom scripts to run before and after an upgrade. Upgrades for the host ESX and ESXi virtual machines and virtual appliances are managed through baselines and groups basic

• Can it differentiate please vmware Sphere operation management and VMware vRealize Operations Manager 6.0?

  Hello

  We have a license for VMware vSphere 6 with operations management Enterprise Plus for 1 processor

  Can explain everything about the use of these products and differentiate? Also, do I need to buy VMware vRealize Operations Manager 6.0 license to use this VSOM?

  vSphere with operations management Enterprise Plus 1 processor 6 includes 1 processor for vSphere Enterprise 6, Plus and one license for vRealize Operations Manager Standard.  You don't need to purchase vRealize Operations Manager 6.0 to use vSOM, as it is included.

• What are the steps to upgrade to vCenter/vSphere Essentials Plus 5.0 to vCenter/vSphere 5.5 Standard?

  We currently have VMWare Essentials Plus on 3 hosts, with 2 processors each. We wanted to add 2 more ESX host, so we improved our standard for vCenter/vSphere license to version 5.5. We try to find the best possible route to install 5.5 on the hosts and upgrade the server vCenter Server with our new version of the granting of licenses and software. The best initial step would be to apply the new license in the current framework 5.0 hosts and vCenter server and then upgrade the software 1 by 1? Or apply the new license to our current Server vCenter, pgrade to 5.5 server and then upgrade each host? Our Dell Rep gave me this guide (updated for VMware vSphere, Cloud Computing for companies of all sizes |) United States) and mentioned if we need assistance, contact VMWare.

  Any guidance would be appreciated.

  5.0 and 5.5 must use the same keys. Then start by adding the new license key to your vCenter server then you are able to manage more than 3 guests.

  Next step would be to update the server vCenter to 5.5 so it can handle actually 5.5 hosts.

  Subsequently you would update the hosts.

  Host licenses can also be replaced at any time during this process, because they are also specific 5.x version.

  Theoretical you could even stay on 5.0 and simply replace licenses if they are not a sort of special license keys.

• Cannot deploy Operations Manager vcenter

  Hello

  After we bought vSphere essentials 5 more we received a license for an Operations Manager Standard vCenter.

  After the order has been extracted, I downloaded the .ova

  Now I'm trying to deploy the .ova in the cluster, but I got two errors:

  the first, after I chose my cluster in the wizard, a popup said:

  error of the ovf package is not valid and cannot be deployed

  the other, after an another try to install said:

  Impossible to deploy descriptor of the FVO on cluster cluster because it contains a paralytic and the cluster is not in mode of DRS.

  We do not have the license for DTH (since we have essentially more) then why vmware offers us a software license, we can't use because of the other license restrictions?

  Is there a way to install this virtual machine? I tried ovftool with no luck

  Thank you

  I'm in exactly the same position.  I followed the procedure described in the KB 2013695 article that deals specifically with installing vCOps on Essentials Plus.

  I followed this article to deploy the EGGS and then lit the VM 2 (unemployment and analytics).  The web administration page is not accessible.  If I open a console for the virtual machine to the user interface, it displays an error:

  vCOps 5.0.0 build 554150 met one or more unrecoverable errors.

  Unable to get the identity of the virtual machine.  This indicates the ovf possible deployment directly on ESX.  Deploy the ovf of vCenter.

  The other VM (analytical) does not display an error.

  I had given a fixed IP address when deploying the OVF, but when virtual machines under tension, they had taken of DHCP addresses.  I reset the IP address, DNS and time zone on each virtual machine.

  Have you found a workaround?  The message indicates a response has been recorded, but I do not see.

  Thank you

• vCenter Operations Manager doesn't show any new virtual machines added

  Hi all

  I have a 5.5U2 of vSphere environment coupled with Operations Manager 5.8.4 vCenter in this environment, I have a strange behavior as new created virtual machines are not directly shown in the tree view of the infrastructure. Sometimes they raise within the hour, sometimes, others may need several days to appear.

  If I want an immediate reflection of VMS in vCenter, I have the best "Workaround", I tried to restart the services Operations Manager vCenter virtual machine of the user interface.

  All components are registered in DNS names, I checked that all entries are correct, that is the case. And they can be solved.

  Operations Manager vCenter is secured by a member of MS internal CA of an Active Directory domain.

  After "googleing"I've seen a similar question on hosts that are not visible, but not the VMs."

  Some of you have already experienced this kind of questions?

  Thanks for your comments,

  Michael

  As reported by the VMware support, it's normal behavior with this version of vCOPS. Switch to the 6.x version to solve the problem.

• Failed to create dashboard customized by vRealize Operation manager

  Hi all

  I just deployed a cluster of vRealize (v.6.0.2) Operations Manager and I am able to deploy solutions/manage roles inside. However, when I want to create the custom dashboard, I found that there is no such option for me.

  

  I connect the administrator account created during the installation, which is supposed to have every permission.

  

  No suspicion on which permission/configuration I may have missed to create dashboard?

  Thank you

  Silvester

  Looks like you are using a key of vSOM.  I see it's enterprise edition, which entitles you to vSphere Enterprise, but all versions of vSOM give access to only the Operations Manager Standard edition features vRealize.

  The link below mentions "capabilities are equivalent to the vRealize Operations Manager Standard edition"

• Updated VMware vCenter Operations Manager tools

  Hello everyone, I just use Citrix Xenserver to VMware vCenter with Operations Manager 5.8.4.  I've looked everywhere and cannot find an answer to this.  Is it possible to update VMware tools in the vCOPS TIME?  I just started my new environment with v8 of Veeam backup and he lets know me that VMware tools are outdated.  The only reason why I ask because, coming from Citrix Xenserver v6.2, whenever a device from the virtual computer is provided by Citrix, you're stuck with the tools provided in this unit until they update the device.

  If it's good to update the VMware tools, it's as simple as opening the console to each virtual machine in the vApp and he tell the ' Install/Upgrade Vmware Tools?  Or is there a more complicated step?

  Thank you

  Brett

  As far as I KNOW, the VMware tools upgrade is not recommended on vCops.

  This breaks the device and you can ignore the message of the VMware tools obsolete.

• The upgrade of free vSphere vSphere Essentials Plus

  Can someone point me in the direction of the vSphere upgrade free to vSphere Essentials Plus? I'm relatively new to vSphere in the installation process.

  Yes, same procedure, but note that you will have a license key for version 4.x. If you have the license key for version 5.x and the host is version 4.x, you must upgrade your host to version 5.x or downgrade your license for version 4.x.

• Upgrade infrastructure vSphere Essentials Plus 5.0

  I need to upgrade an infrastructure of VMware vSphere Essentials Plus 5.0 2 nodes of ESXi 5.0 and Windows server 2008 R2 based vCenter (virtual).

  I want to upgrade to vSphere 5.5 U2.

  Can I use the standard VMware CD to upgrade the host or vCenter or should I use Essentials more specific CD?

  Based on what I saw on KB 2057795 I should update the vCenter first, ESXi nodes later.

  Can I upgrade from 5.0 to 5.5 U2 or should I perform any intermediate task?

  Is the update process, I need to run described anywhere?

  Can I use the standard VMware CD to upgrade the host or vCenter or should I use Essentials more specific CD?

  There is no difference between the installation media... the same ISO can be used for all editions of vSphere/vCenter.

  Based on what I saw on KB 2057795 I should update the vCenter first, ESXi nodes later.

  Yes, it is in order, all first the vCenter Server and vSphere ESXi hosts.

  Can I upgrade from 5.0 to 5.5 U2 or should I perform any intermediate task?

  You can go directly to version 5.5 Update 2, but for vSphere, ESXi hosts don't forget to check the HCL first just to make sure that your host supports version 5.5 Update 2.

  Is the update process, I need to run described anywhere?

• VSphere Essentials Plus 5.1 to 5.5 upgrade

  Hello

  As it says in the title, I would like to upgrade Essentials Plus 5.1 to 5.5, but my question is:

  Can I use the same license or I have to buy a new one?

  Thank you

  Adrian

  There is no requirement to upgrade license for a minor update for example 5.0-5.1-> 5.5 > whereas it is so from say 4.1 - 5.0.

• vSphere Essentials Plus - with no no hosts file information.

  We recently bought Essentials Plus (ESXi4).

  To get working HA, I need to change my hosts file on both servers I use as ESXi4 keeps forgetting to put the hostname after the FULL domain name.

  That is to say, I get:

  x.x.x.x hostname.domain.com

  Instead of

  x.x.x.x hostname.domain.com hostname

  Modification of the file/etc/hosts to fix allows me to turn on HA.

  However.  Whenever I have restart a server, the file loses the game again host name on the rebooted server.

  Is there any solution for this?  Edit the hosts file after every reboot is a pain.

  We are in the installer restart so many phase.

  Why don't you just do your ESXes can be solved by the redundant DNS servers?
