• The upgrade to vCenter Server to vCenter Server 5.1 5.1 update 1 when the SQL database is remote and vCenter Server Heartbeat is installed

  Hi guys,.

  I'm in the middle of an upgrade to vSphere 5.1 5.1 vSphere update 1. I have vCenter protected by HB and SQL on a separate computer (also protected by HB) I also run Syslog, Update Manager and Proxy authentication on vCenter.

  I've successfully upgraded HB on all 4 nodes (2 x vCenter & 2 x SQL) and started the upgrade components on the secondary according to the •vCenter Server Heartbeat 6.5 server and vCenter Update 1 Installation on Windows Server 2008 when the secondary server is virtual (PDF) http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vcenter-server-heartbeat-65-u1-installation-windows-2008-virtual-guide.pdf

  I got to step 3.c

  3. change the primary/active server role:

  a launch of the vCenter Server Heartbeat wizard configure server and click the tab of the Machine to change the server role for the current server (primary) to the active State and click Finish.

  b using the Service Control Manager, start the Server Heartbeat of VMware vCenter service.

  c using the vCenter Server Heartbeat Console, check that all the status icons on the server: summary page are green indicating that the boot process is completed and protected from all the services are started.

  d using the Service Control Manager, stop the service Server Heartbeat of VMware vCenter.

  As the vCenter service does not start, I'm stuck at this point. As far as I'm concerned, the error is quite logical. I've updated vCenter using the secondary server, and then I'm trying to connect (according to the guide) with another version that breaks down.

  If I continue with the services stop and launch the installer SSO, it is trying to perform an uninstall!

  Did I miss something in this upgrade?

  Hi guys, VMware have finally updated the documentation to reflect the right way forward: https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/heartbeat_pubs.html U1 6.5 Select from the menu drop-down and you'll see the last date of update for each of the documentation is now 10/10/2013. The guide States now specifically to restore the vCenter database before proceeding with any other measure, this is copied below for convenience: "the upgrade of the main server of the upgrade process further guess upgrading the secondary server completed successfully. Procedure 1 before continuing the upgrade process, perform a restore of the database of vCenter Server, Single Sign-On database, VMware Update Manager database and SSL certificates that were backed up in step 4 on the secondary server. regards Ciaran

• What are the requirements for vCenter Server 5?

  What are the requirements for vCenter Server 5?  Specifically, I'm looking at the vCenter Server Appliance but it is set to 8 GB of RAM.  I hope to run it on a lab at home that has only 8 GB etc. total RAM.

  The system requirements are here - http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-50-installation-setup-guide.pdf

• How to change the config of vCenter Server Appliance (5.5) ESXi host vm? [Solved]

  I want to enable (set to true) memoryHotAddEnabled and cpuHotAddEnabled on the vCenter Server Appliance.

  I can't the powerCLI user because he needs a vCenter Server Appliance to connect to (right?) and to allow HotAdd of the virtual machine must be turned off.

  For anyone wondering, the best way to do this is to connect the ESXi host via vSphere Client, turn off the VM vCenter and update the configuration in this way.

• The host is licensed with VMware vSphere 5 Standard. The license of vCenter Server edition doesn't support VMware vSphere 5 Standard.

  So I disconnected a host to vcenter server and now I get this error message when I try to reconnect to this host.  The host has been previously connected without any problem.  Vcenter servers as esxi are 5.5.0.  Anyone had any experience with this?

  Thank you.

  Unfortunately, I can't tell you for sure why it worked previously. Maybe it worked with an earlier version, or hosts have been added while vCenter Server was still running in trial mode. Anyway, if you have a license of Essentials for vCenter Server, you must also license processors Essentials the Essentials version is sold as a kit.

• How can I safely expand the vdisk my vCenter server located on?

  Hey all, I'm a fairly recent convert to VMware and I really like what it has to offer. I'm still learning about it even after my class a week about a month ago. My current dilemma is that my vCenter server is a virtual machine sitting on a 120 GB vdisk but when I go to the summary page for this virtual machine storage usage is 124,17 GB. I was going to close vCenter and vSphere Client software to increase the size of the disk, but I was afraid that that affect my running virtual machines? I tried Googling and couldn't find anything definitive either way. So, can I safely stop vCenter and increase its size to drive this way? If this is not the case, what is the best way to increase the size of the disk?

  Thank you

  Joe B

  Assuming that it is a virtual Windows machine (vCenter Server is also available as a Linux-based appliance) you don't need to shut down the guest operating system. Just resize the virtual disk of the virtual machine in the virtual machine settings and then increase the size of the partition in the disk of the guest Manager.

  BTW. used 124 GB drive space intended to trade files of the virtual machine, and a few configuration files.

  There is a difference between the vCenter Server and vSphere editions. Also the article you posted was for vSphere 4.

• The upgrade to vCenter Server 5.5 U1 beat vCO AD Plugin

  Hey guys,.

  I've recently updated vCenter Server (under Windows) to 5.5 U1, and so vCO has been upgraded to the latest version as well. It seems that the AD plugin has been upgraded to 1.0.4 - 763 and now can not be configured correctly. The vCO newspapers give the following:

  2014-05-12 12:11:14.141 - 0400 [WorkflowExecutorPool-thread-1] ERROR {[email protected]: Configure Active Directory server: 8a6abc61-9f1e-4b75-84e3-5f7ed902af57:1d74889645f12cdf0145f133c1e20009} [MSPluginFactory] condition of credentials are corrupted.

  Furthermore, when I try to set up an advertising server by using the plug-in, I have the following problem, showing me one of the configuration objects is null - 'ConfigurationManager '.

  2014-05-12 12:11:14.251 - 0400 [WorkflowExecutorPool-thread-1] WARN {[email protected]: Configure Active Directory server: 8a6abc61-9f1e-4b75-84e3-5f7ed902af57:1d74889645f12cdf0145f133c1e20009} Script Runtime error [WorkflowItemTaskRunner] on the workflow: Server Configure Active Directory / 'Configuration' (item1) update: ReferenceError: 'ConfigurationManager' is not defined.

  We do not use LDAPS, LDAP standard, so I don't see why we would receive an exception of encryption, and the 'ConfigurationManager' null configuration object is interesting.

  Is it possible to reset the configuration of the plugin, re-establish a connection, and try again? I prefer not to reinstall this vCO, as we have done a lot of configuration.

  Uninstalling and reinstalling the 1.0.4 plugin does not seem to solve the problem. I should come back 1.0.3 or can it?

  Thanks for all your help.

  Thank you, Christophe, who complained of being 'ConfigurationManager' being missing (according to the first message in this thread). That said...

  Rename/Delete the

  C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Orchestrator\app-server\conf\plugins\AD.xml and

  C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Orchestrator\app-server\server\vmo\conf\plugins\AD.xml

  and re - configure the plugin (1.0.3 in this case) AD, seems to have allowed the AD connection is restored. At that time, we were see errors in the vCO related to plugin configuration of the client (it seems that all the old cruft of 1.0.4 has not been completely cleaned), so I upgraded the plugin from 1.0.3 to 1.0.4.

  I can now browse through the structure of the AD in vCO as expected. A terrifying upgrade, plugin-breaking!

• Errors in the charge installing vcenter Server 5.5 with respect to the SQL database

  I do a new install of vCenter Server 5.5 on a new Windows 2008 R2 server. The database for this facility is pointing at a 32-bit Windows 2003 SP2 server. I installed SQL Native Client 10.0 on server vCenter Server 64-bit, and then I could make my DSN ODBC 64-bit connection. The vCenter Server install could very well recognize it, but after the installation got going he wrong on the database with the following error:

  Error 25003.Setup cannot create vCenter Server repository. The main reasons for this failure are:

  -The database is installed using insensitive case.

  -The database is remote and the client database version does not match the database version. If this problem continues to persist, see KB 1003960 for further assistance.

  Well, I know that the version of the client and the version of database do not match. SQL native client on the sql server is 9.00.5000.00 and the version on the server vCenter Server is 10.50.1600.1.

  I know that this version of vCenter is compatible with an installation of 32-bit sql server 2005 on a 32-bit server, 2003.

  I am not familiar too if they want upgrade me sql native client on the sql server, but is not compatible with the version of sql server on this server and there are several database for other applications on this server, so I don't want to jump into something like that.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  I install the native client SQL 2005 and give a shot.

• 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.

• Host migration of the most RECENT vCenter Server to the old version

  Has anyone moved hosts currently connected to a newer version of vCenter Server 4.1.0 to an older building?

  If you what have been your experiences (tips and tricks) with this type of migration?

  Thank you

  Matt...

  should be no problem.  Disconnect the old vCenter host, then delete.  From there add the host to the new.  They vpx agent will be reinstalled and your host must be added to the inventory without problem.

  You will lose good historical data...
