• Strategy for the SSO with multiple vCenter servers.

  We are upgrading vSphere/SRM 5.0U1 for vSphere/SRM 5.5U1 with multiple vCenters in our environment. After reading 2058239 KB:

  VMware KB: installing vCenter Single Sign-On 5.5 on a Microsoft Windows platform

  We install SSO on a separate Windows Server and choose vCenter Single Sign-On for your first server vCenter Server for this first instance. Now my question is for the following facilities as the vCenter for MRS or vCenters which manages areas replacement fault which option, existing site or new, do we choose? Thank you

  
  

  You have therefore three sites.

  The first time, you will choose vCenter Single Sign-On for your first server vCenter Server.

  For the second one on the same site, you choose existing vCenter Single Sign-On for an additional vCenter Server in a site.

  Now, when you come to an another site vCenter and third, you will need to decide if you have a site that is your main or you want to still have a site on the second.

  If you decide to join at the elementary level, that you will yet choose existing vCenter Single Sign-On for an additional vCenter Server in a site.

  If you choose to have another site, you choose vCentre of Single Sign-On for an additional vCenter Server with a new site.

  The end of it, you will have to make the decision to design. I can only tell you what they mean. Make sure you have adequate connectivity between sites.

• With multiple vcenter inventory

  Hi guys,.

  Try to get connected with multiple vcenter inventory,

  Have problems with the release of some VM are attributed to wrong Vcenter and running OS is not always correct.

  Can anyone help?

  Here's the script:

• Limiting errors while working with multiple connections

  I am currently evaluating Developer SQL and I'm looking for most of the features that allow connections several clearly distinct to avoid DBA errors when working with multiple connections in parallel.
  Currently, it seems that developer SQL provided these features:
  -Organization of folders in Explorer-> for example, we can create a folder per environment (DEV,...).
  -name of connection-> each user can define his own name. These aliases will appear in the tabs and the title of the main window when opening a connection.
  
  These features ar fairly limited if you compare with a tool like Toad, which used to associate colors with connections (good feature!) or define custom fields. In addition the database user is not displayed in the SQL Developer interface, unless we add in the name of the connection...
  
  Do you know if there are plans to improve these features in future releases of SQL Developer?
  Or, otherwise, it would be possible to quickly develop a plugin that can provide? (especially on the colors of connections)
  
  Thank you.

  Hello

  I opened the application, and you can add your voice to this. This isn't a feature that we can control, nor is it something that you can expand as it should be expelled from the underlying IDE. We requested a change in the IDE so that we can implement this improvement.

• Multiple VCenter servers, loop "foreach"?

  I need help with the syntax to change some of my existing scripts to connect to multiple VCenters servers that we have now in my environment.  Something along the lines of:

  $VCenters = VIServer1, VIServer2, etc..

  Foreach ($VIserver to $VCenters)

  {

  SE connect-VIServer $VIserver

  SCRIPT MAPS EXISTING HERE

  }

  Can any input on how I achieve this?

  Thank you

  Hi SNEdwards,

  I do it this way:

  $vCenters = VIServer1, VIServer2, etc.
  
  ForEach ($vCenter in $vCenters) {
  
  connect-VIServer $vCenter -User $VcUser -Password $VcUserPassd
  
  ... code to run against each vCenter...
  
  disconnect-VIserver -confirm:$false
  }
  

  It will be useful.

• RAY of relief with multiple Radius servers

  Wism2 version 7.6.130

  I have multiple Radius servers for different wireless LANs that are used for authentication. For example:

  WLAN1 - Radius1, Radius2

  Wlan2 - Radius3, Radius4

  WLAN3 - Radius5, Radius6

  Radius servers have different types of user to the authentication databases.

  My question is, when you configure RADIUS of relief in Active mode on the WLC he must receive a successful authentication response in order to stay active or simple an answer?

  Thank you

  Waqas

  "My question is, when you configure RADIUS of relief in Active mode on the WLC he must receive a successful authentication response in order to stay active or simple an answer?

  Hi Waqas,

  It doesn't have to be a successful authentication, could be access accept or decline. You may have noticed with mode active there is a section to specify the user name (default: cisco-probe) what it does is when the radius known as death wlc server use that specific account to query the server radius on the specified time intervals.all these responses would also be responses to refuse access. Just a response if accept or reject to keep active.

  Look here to see little more on the functionality of relief

  See you soon

• Setting NLS_LANG for a client with multiple Oracle servers

  Hello!
  
  We have a web application that needs to connect to a Oracle servers with different charactersets. When the NLS_LANG on the client is a single-byte encoding and the server has a single byte encoding there is no problem. We now have a server with NLS_CHARACTERSET UTF8 and all special characters (accented Hungarians) are replaced.
  When we put the customer UTF8 the rest of the servers does not work.
  What is the solution for a client and several servers with a different encoding?
  Is there a special touch to the connection string?
  I tried to change the nls_lang with a statement of alter session but without success.
  
  Kind regards
  emeriqus

  NLS_LANG does not depend on the database side, it is a CLIENT of setting to 'make Oracle know what encoding is used on the CLIENT' so that Oracle can perform the conversion of the encoding to the encoding of the data base (NLS_CHARACTERSET) of the customer.

  for AN application/client is only a correct value of NLS_LANG, independently of the NLS_CHARACTERSET database

  If you web application is really a UTF8 application (check with your provider) so you can perfectly use a client UTF8 and a database of 8 bits
  Of course, you will be limited on the side of the database in this case given the 8-bit character set knows not all of the characters in UTF8

  The fact that affecting the NLS_LANG UTF8 "does not work" with your web app is simply the fact that your application is not a UTF8 env.
  Setting nls_lang UTF8 will not "magically" your app UTF8, NLS_LANG is a function of the encoding used on the web server.

  But the first thing you should ask yourself is so common is correctly in the Oracle database.

  SQLdeveloper allows to check the data, it is a "good customer know" who needs no NLS configuration.
  You can download it from http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/
  If the data is displayed correctly in SQLdeveloper, then you are sure that it is correct in the database.

  If data are WRONG in the database that must be corrected in the first place, 'try' other client side of configurations will only make matter worse (even if they make the data "look good")

  Kind regards

• IMAQ WindDraw does not work with multiple screens

  I am developing an application using drivers IMAQ which displays fullscreen image on a primary or secondary monitor.  It works very well in mode full screen on the main window, but when I put the window on the secondary window, is not up-to-date.  As an additional test, when I put half of the window on the screen 1 and the other half on the other, the part that is on the main display updates is not the case of the part that is on the secondary display.

  How to make it work with the secondary monitor?

  (I've included an example VI to demonstrate the problem).

  Thank you

  Bruce

  I don't know how it happened, but when I completely closed LabVIEW and rebooted, then just run the VI it works now!

  It has been a strange behavior, if I see it again once I'll let you know.

  Thank you

• Is it possible to use a server for multiple vCenter servers UNIFIED messaging?

  In order to keep administration to all least, we would like to use a UNIFIED Messaging server for many devices of vCenter Server?

  Is it possible and taken in charge?

  You must install and register instances of update with each vCenter Server system manager. You can use an instance of Manager update only with vCenter Server system with which he is registered.

• working with multiple applications...

  I have the main.mxml app that I work with... so I have a request of additional sample.mxml I want to integrate the main.mxml. How this is done?

  Essentially in the shot... I want to be able to access the application of the sample.mxml of the main.mxml application.

  The reason is because I would like to re - use the sample.mxml application without having to re - develop forms that are out there and code and others.

  If you really need the secondary application to have a top-level tag, you will need to compile in a SWF and SWFLoader allows to load in the main application.

  If it can be a component, not an application (tag top-level , , , etc.) and then simply declare the namespace where the file and create an instance of the component in the main application.

  If in the same folder as the main application MXML file:

  xmlns:comp = "" * "where the model can be anything (myComponents, components, etc.)"

  If a "components" sub-folder of the main application MXML file:

  xmlns:comp = "components.*" where the model may be something (myComponents, components, etc.)

  Declare an instance of the component.

  See Flex Builder Help system using SWFLoader.

• vCenter Server Standard mode with multiple vCenter Essentials?

  The company that I work began to expand in other countries and with that comes from the need to manage servers across data centers. Most locations have only 1 or 2 servers and not shared storage, but HQ has 3 servers on each of 2 data centers. DR site has a storage server acting as a target iSCSI (FreeNAS trial) HP.

  If I wear Essentials on these separate locations now, can I later (when the budget releases) buy a Standard license for vCenter Server and then link them?

  Or the Essentials version won't work in bound Mode?

  If I wear Essentials on these separate locations now, can I later (when the budget releases) buy a Standard license for vCenter Server and then link them?

  Yes

  Or the Essentials version won't work in bound Mode?

  No, you must have vCenter Standard for work-related modes

• work with multiple vcenters

  Hello

  I have create a powercli file that works well against ten vcenters, but I developed ten diferent lb/po2, all are similar only the variables change.

  I wonder if it's ' possible use one file to do it (with a table or something like that to pass variables)

  examples?

  Thanks in advance

  The columns in the CSV file can be addresses by columnname in the property.

  So with your CSV, which would become

  $IntervalFinish = get-Date

  $IntervalStart = $IntervalFinish.addDays (-30)

  #ReportESX

  {foreach ($vc in vcenters.csv Import-Csv)

  Write-Host "$($vc.ipCli)".

  SE connect-VIServer-Server $vc. IpCli-$ username-password vc.userCLI $vc.passwordCli

  #ReportESX

  $esx = get-VMHost | WHERE-object {$_.powerstate - eq "receptor"}

  Get-Stat - entity $esx - stat cpu.usage.average, mem.usage.average, disk.usage.average - Start $IntervalStart - finishing $IntervalFinish - IntervalMins 120 |

  where {$_.instance - eq ""} |

  Select value, @{N = "TimeStamp"; E={$_. "Timestamp.ToString (" yyyy-MM-DD H: % m: %s ")}}, MetricId, entity |"

  Export Csv $vc.esxReport - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture

  #ReportVM

  $vm = get - VM | WHERE-object {$_.powerstate - eq "receptor"}

  Get-stat - entity $vm - Stat cpu.ready.summation, cpu.usage.average, mem.vmmemctl.average, mem.consumed.average, mem.usage.average, disk.maxTotalLatency.latest, disk.usage.average - Start $IntervalStart - finishing $IntervalFinish - IntervalSecs 7200 |

  Select value, @{N = "TimeStamp"; E={$_. "Timestamp.ToString (" yyyy-MM-DD H: % m: %s ")}}, MetricId, entity |"

  Export Csv $vc.vmReport - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture

  Disconnect-VIServer-Server $vc. IpCli-confirm: $false

  }

  The variable $vc will go through all the data rows in the CSV file.

  The values of the columns can be solved by using the column label in the property of the $vc variable.

  The value in the "passwordCli" column will be addresses as $vc.passwordCli.

• standard vcops - can be attached to multiple vcenter servers?

  I think that the topic States the question entirely, but says otherwise:

  If there are two sites, each with its own vcenter, an instance of vCops can connect at once? Or we have by definition would have to have 2 vCops installations/licenses in this situation?

  No addition of a second vCenter does not replace the first. Not sure why it happened with mine. the second time, it worked fine. So I think I did something wrong.

  So the the bottom line is you can go ahead and do it. It should work.
