What will be lost if I perform a new installation of vCenter Server?

Hello

We tried to upgrade our existing vCenter Server 4 to 5 without success.  The VC Server service is not able to start up.

VMWare support staff has suggested us to perform a new installation.  We would like to know what information will be lost and must be reconfigured to the new vCenter Server?  We are OK to do not keep permeable Performance data.

Thank you

What you lose depends on what you have in vCenter.

Models, Folders, Cluster configurations, pools of cluster resources, HA/DRS configurations, alarm settings

clusters to store data, storage profiles, profiles of the host, historical events,

If you use the vNetwork distributed switch,

vCenter Distributed switching configurations will not exist in the new facility and

need to be rebuilt before adding the hosts;   You'll probably need to convert those back

the standard vSS on the hosts temporarily before adding them to the new vCenter...

Basically... you lose all configuration except the configuration stored locally on the host computers.

It is essentially the list of virtual machines and the stuff you see in the 'configuration' tab when you click

a host.

You will need to add the hosts as one of the steps in the installation of the new Victoria Cross.

You will have the virtual machines stored on the host and resource pools that existed

on the host at the time, vC was lost.

However, when you move the hosts in a cluster, the 'Home' resource pools

will be deleted.

  • What will be lost if I use a new database for vCenter Server?

    Currently, we use VC 2.5 U4 with database SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition.  We intend to migrate the SQL Server used by VC to SQL Server 2005 Express 2000 database.  We have tried the upgrade on-site of the VC database but without success.

    In this way, we will create a new SQL Server 2005 Express for VC database.  We would like to see more performance statistics, the following items will be lost?

    (1) resource pool

    (2) cluster configuration

    (3) connect to the ESX host

    (4) configuration of NIC in ESX host

    (5) the allocation of resources for each virtual computer

    We are very concerned by the Network Configuration of a particular ESX host that takes us a long time to repair.

    Thank you

    The ESX host network configuration will remain as it is a host level setting.  With regard to the other elements:

    (1) Yes, you will lose your Resource Pools

    (2) your cluster configuration, including DRS rules, etc. will be lost

    (3) you will need to add each ESX host on your vCenter Server

    (4) as indicated, you will not lose your network configuration

    (5) If you set resources in a Resource Pool, then you who will lose.  If you set it on the virtual machine itself then I believe that you leave this setting.

    You will also lose some other things, like all the permissions you applied at various levels of vCenter.

  • How to perform a new installation of window 8.1?

    Hello

    (If this is important), I use an Alienware X 51 R2 with the following specifications:

    Intel i5 4440U 3.3 GHz processor

    AMD R9 270 2 GB

    8 GB RAM

    1 TB HARD DRIVE

    Basically, my alienware has had many recent accidents before I made my own window installation 8.1 via the USB port. I thought it will run more fast and smoother after I have done, but here are a few problems:

    1 secure Boot product still "no error of Boot Drives Found" as soon as I turn on the computer. So I have to disable Secure Boot.

    2 application opening time is still as slow as before the clean install (i.e. Chrome)

    So, is there a procedure step by step on how to perform a new installation of window 8.1? I want this PC to match at the beginning when I first bought.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Help to perform a new installation of Windows Vista 64-bit.

    Original title: Clean Install.

    I am wanting to perform a clean installation of Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit.  I would like to install Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  I was told, during the custom Setup, that I could choose which bit to install.

    Hello

    With Vista, you do not boot from an external drive to install it.

    It is an option in Windows 7.

    And they told you to contact Microsoft for support.

    Microsoft does not provide support for OEM installations.

    In Vista, 32 bit and 64 bit come on different DVDs.

  • How will I know if a host is associated with a vCenter Server

    Once my 5.0 ESXi host is managed by / code with a vCenter server, there are some commands that you can perform only through the vCenter.

    In particular, all-hard drive size, whole-controller SCSI and Set-VMReservations.

    In case my vCenter is down, I would leave my script (PowerCLI 5.5r1) with a mistake that these operations cannot be executed until start of vCenter or the host that contains the virtual machine is no longer active with vCenter.  I think it's safe to let the user decide how he wants to move forward in this case and not build it in my script.

    Is there a cmdlet to ask the host if it is associated with a vCenter Server?  When you use VI Client to connect to the host, you can see the link in the lower right part of the Summary tab that says "separate host to vCenter Server...". ».

    The get-VMHost cmdlet seems like it should have this info, but I was not able to find.

    Thanks for your suggestions

    Maureen

    Please take a look to determine vCenter management host to see if that helps.

    Tip: Uncheck the option to uninstall the hotfix of CCleaner & leave it like that. If you are concerned about hard disk space, see this archived discussion rather-online http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=33827

    Your misguided use of registry cleaners is the troublemaker more likely here. If you had agreed to by default CCleaner prompt to save backups of changes using the registry cleaner, simply restore these backups (followed by a reboot) probably would fix anything.

    But since you don't have any backups, your only recourse now is to format the hard drive & then perform a new installation of Windows.

    Wish I had better news for you. Good luck!

    Hey guys,.

    What is the best way for me to measure the performance of the disks in vcenter? I use the iscsi SAN storage for my environment vsphere and wants to make sure that things are defeated.

    Y at - it a good way for me to measure this inside of vcenter, if what should I pay attention to the?

    Thank you

    Kevin

    Performance, Advanced tab, storage card, chart options.

    Here you can select your storage cards and view certain measures. To also have historical data (and not only in real time), you will need to change the settings of his stats in vCenter server.

    Or select a disc, and here you can see, for example the latency time.

Then he spat his guts and has failed, translated I waited long time and then end of Win 7 back upwards to the level of the Vista desktop and restore the changes. I tried to boot directly from the DOS prompt at startup, no chance. What is a clean install?

    A new installation or custom - installation completely replaces your current operating system, or install Windows on a partition or a specific drive.

    1 disable any security software before you attempt to upgrade or do a clean install.
    2. make sure that your computer is updated (devices and applications)
    3. disconnect all external devices before installing.
    4. check your hard disk for errors:
    Click Start
    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
    Click on "Run as Administrator"
    At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /r
    When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them. Andre Da Costa http://adacosta.spaces.live.com http://www.activewin.com
