Why distribution linux Suse for Vmware virtual appliances

Hi people!

I was wondering the reason of vmware using Suse Linux distribution for all of their virtual devices?

Thank you very much for your comments!

Best regards!

VMware and Novell have an alliance, so I suspect that is the reason behind this.

  • Address deposit not set for a virtual appliance (CIQ), it does not support updates by CR

    I have a CapacityIQ evaluation courses. I need revoot our vCenter server this weekend and I got some errors.

    (1) repository address not defined for the virtual appliance for upgrades of WILL.

    Someone at - it understand why I see this error. Also, I'm not sure why VUM even tries to analyze the VA?

    Why you see the error: you see the error it's because our WILL is not configured to make the VUM updates and does not point to a repository VUM.

    Why VUM attempts to analyze this GOES: because it assumes that all going to will be set to VUM updated. As far as I KNOW, they will improve on this message error/logic in the near future. During this time you will see this error if you installed VUM.

  • SUSE Linux Enterprise for VMware - Install source?

    Hello. I am trying to find a definitive answer on this.

    Assuming that all other prerequisites are met (active license of SnS, qualification VMware SKU, etc.), is it mandatory that the virtual machine (s) of SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP2 is installed from ISO who deploys the custom VMware of SLES or existing usable ISO unbranded version?

    VMware site does not make clear if the branded version to be used. I sent a question to support, but I'm covering all angles as this has not yet been answered.

    Thank you

    I Don t know how SuSE / Novell is the manipulation of a permit to put into perspective, but I can tell you that there are different keys.

    Can´t activate you a VMware SLES version with a 'normal' SLES license and not the reverse.

    And that means that if you have only the SLES VMware licenses, you must use the ISO VMware.

  • password for vSphere virtual Appliance 6.0?

    Hello

    I want to install vSphere 6.0 and I would use the appliance virtual vSphere.

    I have deployed ""VCHG_Appliance_SLES11 - 6.0.0.0 - 2564774_OVF10.ova ' in a segment of a network that has no DHCP "

    (During the deployment of the EGGS, I'm not prompted to create a password)

    When starting the machine, he gets no (no DHCP) IP address and he invites me to connect manually configure the network

    PROBLEM: what is the default password for the appliance 6.0.

    I tried the following:

    -user name: root, admin, administrator, vmware
    -pw: the default admin

    tips are greatly appreciated,

    Chris

    Appliance_60_noPassword.JPG

    You have deployed the wrong package, since VCHG is not the vCenter Server Appliance, but the evolution of the management of Multi-hypervisor (MHM). To deploy vCSA, you must download the following package: VMware-VCSA-all - 6.0.0 - 2656757.iso

  • Host kernel taken Linux supported for vmware Server 2?

    VMware is advertising that VMware server can be installed in 64 bit, Linux, but that's not true. I can't install it in one of my 64-bit Linux host. Only legacy distributions are supported. I use openSuse 11.2 64 bit or Ubuntu 9.10.

    Is it true that VMware is NOT recent Linux kernels of Pentecost compatible 2.6.3x? Only legacy host kernels Linux is supported?

    When this catastrophic situation will be fixed in the new version of Pentecost?

    None of the patches to install VMserver or workstation on more recent than AFAIK 2.6.26 kernels are officially released by VMware.

    If you really think that you need a core of bleeding edge, you must use these patches not supported.

  • Upgrade VMware Tools on Linux based virtual appliances

    I just updated a cluster of 5.1 to 5.5, some of the VMS are virtual appliances based on Linux (most of them on CentOS) which are fairly locked down (no easy access console) critical how's this for upgrade these types of virtual machines to the latest version of VMware Tools? I'm a little OCD and it bothers me that some of the VMS are VMware Tools reports that are "Stale" :-)

    Thank you.

    I know what you mean about the annoying notification bit... However, most of the providers WILL group and test vmtools as well as the Virtual Appliance that they release.

    The answer isn't vmtools upgrade, it has upgraded the Virtual Appliances.

    for example

    Installation of NetScaler virtual appliance on VMware ESX - Citrix eDocs

    You have a list of virtual appliances and you run versions?

    They are there was no snapshot in snapshot Manager.

    Could you help me?

    I found the solution.

    I disabled the JOB BE general relativity.

    and the host where the virtual machine belong was not the right time. No Ntp server has been configured.

    I did and now there works.

    I think that the problem can come from this.

  • Download link for vCenter Server Appliance (Linux)

    Hello

    I have the following situation: we bought VMware this week for our internal servers and want to administer the virtual machines with Linux (and only with Linux).

    I downloaded VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-5.1.0.10000-1065184_OVF10.ova and imported this virtual machine. I can now administer all our virtual machines within a browser running on a linux client.

    This virtual machine is running SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 (64-bit) and I would like to download these packages install to put in place a dedicated linux server (vShpere Web Client Version 5.1.0 build 1063329, customer-integrations-Plug-Ins: VMRC Version 5.1.0 Build 1060398 and Support Client Version 5.1.0 Build 832030)

    I downloaded tons of ISOs and OVF from VMware today but found nothing to install on a Linux server dedicated (except these tools of comments).

    Can we put a link or give me a clue where to download or in what ISO is?

    And another question is: is it possible to install

    Thank you

    Bernd

    The Linux version of vCenter Server is only available as a Virtual Appliance that you downloaded and not as a separate package such as the version of Windows.

    JMills says:

    It's been a while since I watched this little particular of source code

    (The mapping OVF Import OS Table VI Client 2.5.x) so I can't immediately

    Comment on the question of whether it is Studio 2 (89) of the supplied value or

    mapping (89-> 'other') which is in question.

    In its final form ratified (FVO 1.0.0), ovf:id is supposed to be a literal mapping to the data in the CIM schema (CIM_OperatingSystem.mof: OSType: ValueMap *), where "89" is a distribution (Mandriva) Linux 32-bit versions of CIM schema where it is present (2.19.1 CIM schema 2.20.1, 2.21.0 and 2.22.0 experimental as examples). Red Hat Enterprise Linux x86_64 should be ovf:id 80 for a FVO 1.0.0 consistent descriptor.

    
    (*) Quoting DSP0243 1.0.0 (OVF 1.0.0 final)
    
    9.9  OperatingSystemSection
    
    An OperatingSystemSection specifies the operating system installed on a virtual machine.
      
        Specifies the operating system installed
        Microsoft Windows Server 2008
      
    
    The valid values for ovf:id are defined by the ValueMap qualifier in the CIM_OperatingSystem.OsType property.
    
    OperatingSystemSection is a valid section for a VirtualSystem entity only.
    

    HOWEVER... we don't talk about the OVF 0.9 (implementation of the VMware project).

    The FVO management for VC 2.5 0.9 code was written prior to the ratification of the 2.19.1 CIM schema, and the OS Type mapping data are maintained as a set of private tables, where "89" is in fact mapped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (3,4,5) x86_64 variants. For vSphere 4 (rewrite of this feature), data of the private table for OVF 0.9 has been preserved.

    Somewhere along the line, '89' becomes 'other' rather than '-64' or ' otherlinux-64' or ' rhel5-64' (ordered under most preferred).»»»

  • Adding tools from VMware to Virtual Appliances

    I have virtual appliances in my environment of different suppliers.  They are mainly the devices of SUSE Linux vendors such as backup software or control solutions provided .ovf format.  Some of them do not come with VMware tools.  When a seller of customizes a Linux OS to make a .ovf model, but does not add the VMware tools, are there situations where I should not try to install VMware tools?  It is normally safe to try to install the tools?

    Hello

    as usual, the installation of vmware in a virtual appliance tools is recommended.

  • Virtual appliance for Veeam

    If I use the free version of Veeam backup mV, I don't want to use a Windows license to install Veeam.  Is there such a thing as Veeam backup virtual appliance that runs the veeam backup software without requiring a Windows operating system?  If this is not the case, this is intended to be released at a later date?

    At the moment only Windows Version exists.

    Backup free edition is the same basis as the paid versions of code. So, it benefits from the software main cycles of quick and immediate release supports new VMware and Hyper-V Versions.

    Yes, the device is very easy to deploy, but to me a problem of security in an organization. You are at the mercy of sellers (security) update deployment.

    I think that the idea of the Windows Version is so easy to use (everyone knows Windows) and can be integrated in your existing patch, antivirus and monitoring environment.

    If Veeam will add the unit or support for Linux I think it will double/tribble close R & D and quality control effort and will slow down the publication cycle.

    I m not Veeam management product, but I think that you won't see backup free edition in the form of appliance in the next time.

    On MS Outlook license, you can use Backup free Edition also on a workstation OS (XP-8: 1) on a PC/computer/laptop virtual. But for VMware vSphere 5.5 support you need a 64 bit OS.

    Best reagards... Andy

    Edit1: You can add a feature on http://forums.veeam.com request. Veeam product management is very active in the Forums of Veeam and the Forum will have an influence on the priority list.

  • Best Linux o/s to be used for VMWare Server 2

    Hi guys,.

    What would be the best Linux o/s to be used for VMWare Server 2 and why?

    Are there known traps or other questions that you may have experienced with some operating systems.

    Thanks for the comments.

    I don't know about the 'best' that I only use openSUSE x 64 but I find it incredibly stable and reliable, especially when compared to a lot of Vista (out of production). Image single with 8 GB disks and non - RAID SATA with usually about 10 virtual machines running constantly. CentOS and Ubuntu seem to appear a lot here, but that could be wrong, since people in general do not post when things are working very well. Fedora seems to have arisen recently with more than its share of problems.

  • OpenManage for VMWare ESXi has no possibility of tasks of virtual disk

    OMSA v 7.1 and 7.2 for Windows (and earlier versions) allow the user to perform many tasks on virtual disks, including reconfiguring - expand a RAID array with a new drive.

    This is not true for managing open for VMWare ESXi - although you can monitor the status of the RAID and disks with the browser of the OMSA interface type, you cannot perform tasks - can not even make a high beam Flash.

    It is a huge problem, because the PERC controllers (H700 and H800, for example) don't allow you to develop virtual using hard drives not Dell disks when you try this during startup in the bios.  (These controllers only allows you to create new virtual disks using drives not Dell).

    This test was conducted using the latest firmware (12.10.4 - 0001 A10) and drivers for the H700 and H800 and multi-server r610 ESXi 5.1.

    Other people with VMWare have been affected by the present?  The only solution is to have two player networks connected to the computer, and create a simple Windows with OMSA, boot in Windows Server to expand the table using OMSA for Windows.

    I would be interested in the comments of others, including those of Dell.  We spent hours on the phone with Dell; This seems to be the only solution.  (Yes, Dell released a firmware version last year that has ceased blocking non Dell readers, but it only works for the creation of a new virtual disk, do not expanding one existing).

    Yes.  It came through a discussion in the Dell | Servers | Discussion of the RAID community.

    en.Community.Dell.com/.../20263442.aspx

    There is a CD bootable linux called OMSA Live that you download from PowerEdge (linux OS) systems management.

    This OMSA PERC H700 and H800 control and allows you to do everything.  When you reconfigure the RAID and the PERC card starts the reconstruction, although it seems risky, you can restart under VMware and the reconstruction of the RAID continues on.  And you can analyze with OMSA for VMware.
