  • Windows 2008 R2 as operating system supported for vCenter Server?

    Hi you all, experts

    In http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vSphere4/R40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.PDF it says that Windows 2008 R2 is supported as the operating system on the server vCenter.

    In http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1022137 R2 is not mentioned.

    Then...

    Is R2 platform support?

    Hello.

    In http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.pdf , it says that Windows 2008 R2 is supported as the operating system on the server vCenter Server.

    R2 is not mentioned in http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1022137 .

    Then...

    Is R2 platform support?

    What is listed in the compatibility matrix is correct, then Yes.

    I read the correct documentation that SQL 2008 Express is NOT supported as vCenter database?

    Yes.  Use you it as a database, or just use the SQL SERVER 2005 Express that comes with vCenter?

    Good luck!

  • SQL Server edition full for vCenter Server 6.0

    Hello

    Just learn that vCenter 6.0 does not support SQL Server Express.

    We intend to use SQL Server 2008R2 as the database of vCenter Server 6.

    We would like to ask for your opinion if we should use the full 32-bit or 64-bit SQL Server Edition?  For SQL Server Express, 64 - Bit is used, I think that we need to use 64 bits one, is this correct?

    Your opinion is requested.

    Just learn that vCenter 6.0 does not support SQL Server Express.

    The Windows 6.0 vCenter dropped the integrated SQL Express, BUT instead, it comes with a SQL database vPostgres shipped to replace it with similar restrictions. You don't need to install your own SQL server if you're ok with these limits. See the following article:

    vSphere 6 - clarify misinformation. VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs

    Databases are supported for installing windows SQL 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014, Oracle 11g and 12 c as well as the possibility of using an embedded database vPostgres on windows vPostgres is limited to 20 guests and 200 VMs. Upgrades where SQL express is installed will be converted to vPostgres. The vCenter Server Appliance supports the vPostgres shipped to full scale, the host of 1000 and 10,000 virtual computers and is the database recommended for vCenter server unit. Oracle 11g and c 12 external databases are also supported for this version, look for these to drop in the future releases.

    It is also possible to keep an existing SQL Express DB when you perform an upgrade:

    VMware KB: Upgrade vCenter Server 6.0 without migration of the SQL database to vPostgres

    If you use your own SQL server to go with a 64-bit version and stick them on products VMware interoperability Matrices.

  • Upgrade paths for vCenter Server 4.0/32-bit to 64-bit/5.0

    So, for various reasons beyond my control, when we installed vCenter server when we migrated from 3.5 to 4.0, it has been installed on 32-bit Windows.

    Data backended by a full instance of SQL Server (not the MSDE version that comes pre-packaged with vCenter).

    So, I try to understand the strategy of less impact for the trip to 5.0.

    One idea I had is simply to build a new 'home' for vCenter Server on x 86-64 and point the application on the existing database running on 32-bit windows server. (I'm guessing that the 32/64-bit nature of the database server itself is largely irrelevant as it allows 64-bit vCenter Server to talk to it). I think then that all information cluster all would remain intact since it's in the database, etc..

    If I had to, I guess, we could install vCenter 4.0 (64-bit) on the new host and THEN perform the upgrade, if it was really important, but I somehow don't think it is.

    Once that is done, we would eventually just make a backup/restore type upgrade path to move data out of the old host and the new host and re-point vCenter Server in its local database now.

    A that someone does something similar to this? Traps, we should be aware of? Warnings that it would never work the way we expect it to be, etc, etc. ?

    That's what I'd do.  It your DB is remote, it is a fairly straightforward upgrade.

    1. turn off your old Instance vCenter

    2. backup your DB instance

    3 copy the SSL directory off the old vCenter and the new (you'll probably to manually create the path, before installing vCenter)

    4 set up your ODBC connection and test

    5. install vCenter and use existing DB

    Assuming that you are going to use the same host name and IP address for your new instance of vCenter, like your old, all stocks will be as it was before the upgrade.

  • How to change the MOB OpenManage integration for vCenter Server registration

    A few months back, I've updated our installation of the vCenter for v2 plugin, now called OpenManage integration for vCenter Server. When you perform the upgrade, we have kept the old base done vs a new installation. During the upgrade process, we deployed the new device under a new name of the computer.

    Everything works well except that we noticed an annoying thing. Registration of the plugin is the former name of the server instead of the name of the new server-oriented. It is validated by looking at the web page MOB: http://vcenter Server/fmt drilling then down through:

    Content--> Extension Manager--> extensionList ["com.dell.plugin.OpenManage_Integration_for_VMware_vCenter"] --> server--> URL string

    The configuration of the appliamnce shows the correct new name of the device and the administration console is accessible via the new name for the device. The only place where we see the old name of the device is in the MOB config.

    We tried to remove the plugin and added, but still cannot change the value of server URL to reflect the new name of the device. Until we solve this problem, I work around the problem by keeping just the DNS entry for the old name of the server in DNS.

    Anyone know who to change the property MOB for the URL of the server?

    I solved the problem.

    I found the following article that shows how to upgrade the extension. I just cut and paste into my current values with the URL of update and now all is good.

  • How to allocate disk space for vCenter server logs

    Hello

    I plan to level 4.1 to 5.5 U2d vCenter on the customer site. One of the conditions set out in the vSphere upgrade guide is:

    "In vCenter Server 5.x, the default size for vCenter Server connects is larger than in vCenter Server 4.x. make sure that the disk space allocated for the log folder is sufficient for this increase 450MB."

    My question is how to allocate disk space for the log file and where can I find the disk space allotted to file papers to vCenter 4.1 existing?

    Just see the free space on the partition where the vCenter server logs are stored. If it is insufficient, increase the size of the virtual disk and then increase the file system to the guest OS.

  • Setting up Certification Authority (CA) signed certificates for vCenter Server Appliance 6

    Hi all

    Recently, I managed to migrate to vCenter Server Appliance 6. 5.5, there was a large KB (2057223) on Configuring Certificate Authority (CA) signed certificates for vCenter Server Appliance. I tried to do as it says configure the certificate for v6.

    Unfortunately, I understand that some services such as lighttpd are changed in version.

    Can anyone provide a new instruction for the v6?

    Thank you

    Thank you. That helped me to see the idea. However, the explanation in the pages that was not complete. I had to search for more.

  • Requirements of ports for vCenter Server 5.1 - SysLog Collector

    Hi all

    Has anyone installed a SysLog collector?

    My book of vmware by Lowe mentions little on the ports for it.

    During the installation of the server, he gave me a list of ports.

    I accepted all the flaws, except that I changed the ports http to 81 and 8081 because IIS is installed (vmware docs say to use one port other than 80, if IIS is already installed)

    Now, during the installation of the SysLog collector it asks which http port I use.

    The vmware docs nothing mentioned on the syslog http port is my book. The vmware for TCP docs show that.

    ESXi Syslog Collector8001TCPESXivCenter Server

    Network syslog server

    Just use port 81 as the http port I have set up for vcenter server? The web interface won't connect through this port? There will be a conflict?

    I used netstat and port 82 is not used. Should I use?

    The other settings works ok?

    There is no firewall involved; vCenter server and the VMs system will reside on the same site

    Thanks in advance

    port 81, that is according to the third screenshot! 8081 is for Tomcat!

  • Configuration of SQL 2008 R2, Enterprise Edition for vCenter Server 5.1

    Greetings to all seasons.

    Kind of a newbie here. That's my lab environment.

    I have always used the vCenter Server install Simple option that also installs the shipped Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 Express edition.

    Now, I do an eval of vSphere 5.1 and I want to manually configure a database server using the Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition.

    I know how to install the database server and it works. But I do not know how exactly set up a database for vCenter Server.

    I looked at the guide Configuration / Installation of vSphere and I don't seem to be able to follow the preparation vCenter Server databases section, because I'm not a person to the database. Y at - it any other guide or a blog, I can follow? I searched a lot and found everything I was looking for. Thought I would ask here.

    Here are the virtual machines I have.

    Happy holidays.  Here is a link to another site with a nice installation guide for SQL 2008 for VMware.  Version 4.x, published in lonesysadmin.net was very helpful, so I'm sure that the 5.x update (have not read through it again) must be all too packed with useful tips.

  • Is there a converter Plug In for vCenter Server 5?

    Hello

    We have just implemented the vCenter Server 5 and get that some 4.1 ESX servers migrated to host ESX 5.

    Previously, there's a Service guided Consolidation (converter Plug In) vCenter for vCenter Server.  Is there a similar product for vCenter Server 5 or use the stand-alone converter in the future?

    Thank you

    With vSphere 5 there is no available plugin more. Just use the vCenter Converter Standalone.  André

    Hello

    If you have the DB on this same server where vCetner is not installed so no question at all

    BENEFITS:

    vCenter is protected by HA (at hardware level)

    much easier to do a maintenance (maintenance of software only)

    all the features of VMware are available (vMotion, sMotion, Snaphsots, Clone, FT, etc.)

    cheaper (except hardware, space, power in the server room)

    CONST:

    in case you lose all esx hosts you will lose too much VM vCenter

    If the virtual computer is down always know you where it is (as a machine virtual it isn't always a deal) :-)

    Suggested configuration

    Set the priority of restarting to high for vCenter VM

    exclude the VM of DRS vCenter (in case if vCenter came down you will know which server it worked before)

    Create a pool of resources high resources and put there vCenter VM

    About P2V I wouldn't do that. As said by JDLangdon - create new virtual machine, Move DB from the old to the new vCenter and installing vCenter on fresh OS.

  • Support for Windows 2008 R2 in vCenter Server 2.5 U4 and 4.0

    I'll have no problem creating models in both versions of vCenter Server. The question arises when you try to deploy the model to the Customization Wizard help. Under 4.0, it immediately comes up as not supported (7 64 windows server). Minus 2.5 U4, there is no tag for Windows 2008 R2 OS.

    Support for this OS will be released in a next update on both vCenter servers (specifically the Customization Wizard)?

    Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 is not supported with vSphere yet but experimental and should be supported subsequently released but they're working on it. You can run the wizard of customization with Windows 2008 however, here's how the instructions http://vinf.net/2009/07/09/how-to-deploy-a-windows-2008-server-from-a-template-with-vsphere/

  • Choice of the database for vCenter Server 5 install on Windows Server 2003

    Hi all.

    We have an environment of health care small assisted living with a dozen sites/servers.

    A server has 3 VMw4 vms on it.

    We received two new servers each with ESXi installed 5. They will host several virtual machines of Windows Server for most of the migration of the current VMw4.

    I want to install vCenter Server 5 to manage.

    My book of VMware by Lowe, he mentions that the provided SqlExp08 is fine for 5 guests and 50 virtual machines.

    Us will never get more than that, probably.

    However, the server I want to install vCSrv5 on already has installed some Sql05 and Sql08 in use by other applications.

    These applications will be migrated to our new virtual machines later with their respective db.

    My questions are:

    (1) should I install vCSrv5 and use the provided SqlExp08 and just let it go at that? Should the PB is on another drive or should she be on a different server?

    (2) can I install using an instance of Sql05 or Sql08 that is already installed?

    I'm not sure about the impacts later when I migrate the few applications that currently use Sql05/Sql08.

    I'm not a DBA, but a dedicated database would seem to be the best.

    Do not forget that once our virtual machines installed vCSrv5 probably make much since most of the features are for large environments with multiple virtual machines.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks in advance.

    The VM 5 host 50 thing is not applied hard.

    If you use the DB delivered, it will be on the same machine as the CV.

    Also a database dedicated to VC is the preferred option.

  • support for vCenter 5.5U2b XP

    Hey everybody.  I just wanted to know if vCenter 5.5U2b with the end of support for XP and Vista will always vm with these OS to run on the host computer or not?  Thank you.

    Windows XP and Vista are not supported as an operating system to run vSphere (Web) client application. This is absolutely NOT related to the question of whether you can run these operating systems as a guest on ESXi hosts operating system. Read the release notes: vCenter Server 5.5 updated 2B Release Notes

    vSphere Web Client.

    From vSphere 5.5 Update 2, Windows XP, and Windows Vista are not supported under vSphere Client Operating System. You can find the complete list of operating systems supported by the Web Client in the vSphere VMware Compatibility Guide.

    Windows XP and Vista are still supported to run as guest operating system VM on the latest versions of ESXi 5.5 U2 (the version of vCenter is unimportant), see the list of the guest operating system compatibility:
