• on AD and DNS requirement in vCenter server installation

  Hello, I am facing installation stuffs now. It's about installation vCenter server 5.5 under windows.

  I'm just in my lab. He went well when I installed vCenter server device and I can do the remaining animals vSphere.

  But this time I must try to use vCenter in windows. I'm stuck in the 'server URL search"in installing vCenter.

  Is it OK to install the vCenter without AD and DNS server as I do now. If this isn't the case, pls guide me.

  You must at least COMPLETE your vCenter server field cannot be resolved and if you do not have DNS server in your lab, try to configure the host files... and on the announcement, if you do not have Active Directory domain or the vCenter Server belongs to a workgroup, not all features are available.

  To see a list of the software requirements and best practices for installing vCenter Server, check this KB: article: installation vCenter Server 5.5 recommended (2052334)

• HP ML115G1 and vCenter Server installation

  Hi all

  Please go easy on me because it's my first time with VMware

  I have a ML115G1 with 5 GB RAM and 120GB HD, installed ESXi 4.1 and have a VM of Windows 2008 Server SP2 running no problem, I want to learn vCenter Server among others and tried to install it in this virtual machine, as I quickly discoveredvCentre requires 2CPUs which are at least 2 GHz, assuming that I understand it so far and I am not , what is the best way forward for me so that I can learn Vcenter in the following environment:

  1 x Windows Server 2008R2 Virtual machine with vCenter, domain AD etc.

  2 x Windows Server 2008 R2 running SQL2008 and center of System Configuration Manager

  2 x windows xp or win 7 clients

  assuming that I have very little $ to purchase a new high spec server to deal with all this and its only in a lab environment. What is the best way to go to implement, it will be used for myself training on products above, trials of software distribution, patch deployment, management of client of windows etc.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated as Im in its early days and theres a heck of a lot to!

  Thank you very much

  No, it should still install - it's just the 2 GHz is recommended and if I remember anything in the Setup goes and checks the closk speed -.

• VCenter Server installation on a computer that is running IIS

  Someone had trouble installing vCenter Server on a machine running a web server (IIS)?   Documentation indicates the use of a dedicated machine and one not running a web server.   During installation, you get the warrning that detected vCenter web server running, vCenter Server uses common web service for communication ports, so to avoid resource conflicts, use a dedicated machine.  We are talking about only slow or is it possible to interrupt the features of IIS entirely on this machine if I proceed with the installation?  Really the machine in question is not practically no IIS traffic... and we have not really a dedicated machine that is not running IIS at the present time.  Well, I do, but is not in a domain group, the documentation says it should be.   It may work on a workgroup server well?   I would like to install vCenter Server on a system of comments on our ESX 4.0 host, but I'm currently out of storage hardware to create an another VM atm.

  Thank you

• Will there be traps to vCenter Server installation on a host in a cluster that is already managed by another server vCenter Server?

  I guess that the first answer, I'll be back will be; Why?

  Our Organization has decided that the team of UNIX and the Windows team cannot share a single server vCenter Server that manages the environment. This is why the Windows team has offered a virtual computer in which we installed vCenter Server and then we can create our environment from there.

  Yes, I already read the doco on the creation of a virtual machine via the Client vSphere on an ESXi host we manage already. It's a viable option, but server 2008r2 should again be a picture they have made.

  I watched the vCenter Server appliance for linux, but from what I can tell that would be too small for our environment and is not supported for Symantec Appha.

  Yes, it would be nice if we could all play nice, but mgmt don't we have to so that's where we are.

  The ideas and concerns would be useful...

  Thank you!

  I see - it's just an unusual set of circumstances. As long as the virtual machine has network connectivity, it should work. It would be really no different than having a physical server with vCenter running on it.

• A domain on the server vCenter Server installation causes vCenter Server fails to start

  Hi guru,.

  Well I tried for a while, to get my vCenter Server to work with my newly created domain name and at least i did not have much luck. It seems that every time that

  I have create a new domain and restart the system. For the VirtualCenter Server service fails to start on reboot. I checked my odbc connection and test works very well.

  I am able to log in microsoft management studio without problem. But still, the service does not start I understand I can meet here, it's probably a

  with my database permissions issue.  However I can't seem to find the answer by myself if I m hoping to hear some suggestions from all of you who help on this.

  Thanks for the replies!

  Uh, you have not installed vCenter on the same server that is running your domain controller you have?

  ADAM and cannot run on the same machine AD.

  If it is installed on the same computer that your DC - get a new machine for VC - this configuration will never work. (minimum supported ram is 3 GB.)

  We see in the newspapers that ADAM is not from, and that's why VC fails to start as well.

  Failed to get all pages of search results: 0xa (a reference was returned by the server).

  Couldn't find OU = container of Instances.  This may indicate a problem with the LDAP permissions for the execution account VirtualCenter, or that the schema is not compatible with this version of VirtualCenter.

  Unable to run the search for the instance

• Vcenter Server installation

  Hi all

  I still have some very rocky ride through my lab:

  On my workstation, I installed 2 esxi host on which server runing VMs seats 2003.

  Virtual machine specifications are as follows:

  • 2 cpu
  • 384 MB
  • size of 40 GB drive

  When I load Vcenter I get the following error:

  Ty Proceessor not supported, contact the supplier.

  Could you please help

  After taking a second look at the screenshot and the log files, I think you are trying to set the configuration on the VM wrong. From what you say, you have installed 2 with ESXi virtual machines in VMware Workstation! The setting I mentioned must be configured for these virtual machines, and not for the nested Windows guest OS, you created in ESXi!

• VCenter server virtual installation vs. physical

  Could Hello everyone, you give me advice on how to implement Vcenter server in Vsphere 4.1? Physical or virtual Vcenter server installation? Thanks for your help

  I used vCenter virtualized servers in environments of production for a couple of years now... I did first minus 3.5 and did in 4.0 and 4.1 with no problems at all... Performance of the vCenter Server (in production environments) has never been a problem due to using enterprise grade, powerful host servers storage and put them in place properly (all the environment too)...

  Beyond the benefits already mentioned to go with a vCenter Server virtual (that I've seen in action) I'll second the mention of make it easier to administer all of your environment... The savings are not to be rejected either... Not only can you save by not having no no need to have another Canon of material (even if it's the one you had in hand and simply re - purpose it) you save on power and the breakdown of costs (not a small amount per year on the old boxes)... There is also the added benefit of the higher speeds of communication (VM for VM networks run very fast)...

  With respect to the complexity that it could bring your network... Not really... Unless you are about to run out of IP addresses on your network (which would require either expand your subnet to allow more addresses or add another subnet within your DHCP server) you can just assing the IP address of the virtual machine (really simple) i.e. the vCenter Server... Unless you have hundreds of servers, you should not need to another range of VLAN / subnet for the virtual environment...

  I think you're really too complicate the coast network of things too... Think of it this way... Your host servers are intellectual property will 10.1.1.x, if you place the vCenter Server on the same IP range (a single system more on this beach)... You place your VM on the IP range, they are too (can be the same, may be different) linking the port of Machine Group virtual host NIC to physical switch ports correctly. Depending on your storage/SAN, you plug these host ports to correct physical switch ports...

  Do not plan things for how things are going to interconnects. That being said, it is not a surgery of the brain here... I advise you intend having redundancy at the physical level of switch NIC and host for all connections... As two NIC for the management of the network, x 2 NIC / ports for traffic of the VM port group (depending on the size of the cluster/County of VM, you will need to have enough connections to support the claim), x 2 NIC / ports for SAN connectivity, etc... This is why I generally 8-10 NIC / ports in each host I've implemented (production level hosts)... This includes (in general) the four s Integrated NIC, so adding a pair of dual-port, or a quad (always class Intel server NIC is there), or a combination, to each host.

  If you're having trouble designing the configuration of your network, view information such as the physical switches (and how the ports are configured so divided into several VLAN) for regular traffic and SAN connections, host configurations (include the two how many ports on board and through additional cards), SAN brand/model (and how which many network/controllers there how many ports per controller) etc... See also how you plan to put it all and will help people here making sure what did it right (or even better for the environment, in which it is to enter)... If the network is already installed, works well, and looking just to put more things in place (within the cluster) is something else...

• vCenter Server 5.5 silent installation problem

  Our requirement is, vCenter Server 5.5 must be installed in silent mode with its default SQL express database.

  To do this, I am referring http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/vcenter_server_cmdline_install.pdf documentation.

  I am able to do a silent install of SSO and the inventory of service components, but stuck to a vCenter Server silent installation. On the command line, I performed following command to install the vCenter Server. This command should install vCenter Server in silent mode, but it is prompting you to press the next button to continue.

  I had the same problem with the certificate has expired. VMware has made a new kb article:

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2035413

  This vcsso file is only there if you do not click ok on the error window. but you do it anyway. Look under the VirtualCenter\SSL of C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware and see if the rui certificate has expired. mine did and after I removed all the files in there and restart the installation, everything went well, and the new certificate is valid 10 years ;-)

  hope it does not help anyone.

• vCenter Server 4.1 U1 Installation on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 x 64 does not work

  Is this server Windows 2008 R2 SP1 a controller domain or already running ADAM?  This may be the cause of this message.

  Good luck!

• 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.

• How update you the server vCenter Server?

  I have a virtual machine in my vSphere environment running Windows Server 2008 R2 that has update manager installed on it and my vCenter Server installation.  After scanning it with the Update Manager, it showed it needed to upgrade VMware tools to match the host and also to modernize hardware virtual machine to correspond also to the host.  I've improved the tools successfully, but when I tried to restore the VM for the hardware, I got the following error message:

  "VM [VM name] has vSphere VMware Update Manager or VMware vCenter Server is installed.  This virtual machine will be ignored for the scan and sanitation. »

  So, how can I get around this because I use this machine virtual also patch/update the other hosts/VMs and this is my installation vCenter?

  Yes, it must be turned off. So your only option in this case is to connect to the host, Vcenter, and then right click to upgrade.  Unfortunately, this is your only option

• Problems after installing vCenter has 5.1 - no vCenter Server found

  Sorry, I'm new to this and I'm having a problem installing vCenter 5.1 has on Windows Server 2008 R2 by using the simple installation.  After completing the installation without mistakes, I starts the Web Client vSphere, connect and it comes up with no vCenter server and a message that says "to get started installation is a vCenter Server system or permission to access an existing vCenter Server system.  I'm on my 4th time well and it is consistent in the result, so I figure I should ask.

  If it's important, Windows Server is not a member of Active Directory, DNS works forward and reverse, I tried the IP address and FQDN name.

  I don't know where to be troubleshooting it.  It is my first installation of vCenter. I checked all the services, and they are running.

  I watched some log files and it seems pretty clear that something is trying to talk about something and is to be rejected, but I have no idea why.

  Anyone have any suggestions?

  During the simple installation of vCenter Server 5.1 method, it will first install the SSO part. During this part, you will be asked to create a password for a user called admin@system-domain. Please note that this user is only for the management of permissions within the standards body. That's why you can't see any instance of vCenter SSO. After completing the installation of SSO, the vCenter Server installation will be lauch. During the installation, the wizard will ask you about the password previously configured for the admin@system-domain user, enter it, and then click Next.

  Second, on the next prompt you should enter a global domain, user, or a local group who will be recognized by the SSO as vCenter Administrator service. Then complete the installation. In the end, make sure the "SSL Port" under the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ADAM_VMwareVCMSDS\Parameters registry key is REG_DWORD with a decimal value of 636.

  See: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1023864

  After that, open the vSphere Client or the webclient service, enter your vCenter Server server's FULL domain name and and a name/password user (domain\username), which has permission such vCenter administrator mentioned in part II.

  I hope this helps.

  Kind regards.
