SC VMM 2012 with SP1 and CU2.

I've added VMware vCenter 5.1 server. It is displayed in VMM console. However, the console displays that it has 0 managed hosts and 0 managed VMs.

Status of vCenter server is "Responding", the account used to communicate with it is valid and has full administrative rights to the server.

What could be wrong?

Connecting via Console - ActiveX Plugin

$

Hi All,

I'm using System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager SP1.

I have successfully added a number of HyperV and VMware hosts and can see all the VM's on these hosts.

The problem I'm having is when attempting to open a VMware VM via the "Connect via Console" option.

I get a message advising that an ActiveX plugin is missing, and asking if I want to install it.

When I say yes to this, my default browser opens and attempts to download "vmware-vmrc-win32-x86.exe" from my vCenter Server.

It is unsuccessful in this attempt as the path it's attempting to download from is invalid.

I managed to download the plug in from my local machine (i.e. the PC that I'm running VMM Console) via the folllowing URL:

http://localhost:9090/vsphere-client/vmrc/vmware-vmrc-win32-x86.exe

The plugin has been successfully installed into both IE and Firefox, but I continually get the message to say that the ActiveX plugin is missing when I attempt to "connect via console".

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks,

Bob

I have found this KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2709961/EN-USand it fits our environment perfectly. Only problem is that it does not solve our problem.

The only to get VMM running again is to uninstall and reinstall VMM with a new database.


Thanks in advance!

I'm attempting to use the storage which is already addressed within the ESX Host.

If i check the properties of the host from within Fabric, and go to Storage the Disk is there, but it says 500.00 GB (0 GB available)

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to convert a physical server call Account to a virtual server. I am using Virtual Machine Manager 2012 SP1 on my another server which is 2012 call Apps02. Whenever I try to convert, it stops halfway and it gives me Error (2912). It says Element not found (0x80070490) and recommended action to check WS-Management service is installed and running on server Apps02. However, I have checked that the service is running both on Account and Apps02 server. I have even tried restarting the service. Worst thing, when I try again the second time, my account gets locked and I get a message saying Access has been denied while contacting the server. I unlocked the account and try again but same thing happen.

Need help desperately! Thanks!

Hi

I have already an existing vCenter Server into my SCVMM environment. The problem is " I am unable to remove it from SCVMM server because vCenter server doesn't exist now".

When I try to add a new vCenter Server, it gives me an error that old vCenter Server is not responding. What should I do to solve this issue?

Also how many vCenter Servers, I can add into a single SCVMM?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Good Afternoon,

Having great difficulty adding in a vCentre server into VMM, i get the below error message:

"Could not retrieve a certificate from server because of the error: the remote server returned error (407) proxy authentication requiried."

I have looked through carious forums and have completed all that has been suggested, this includes:

1. Making sure that both the VMM server and the vCentre server have access to the internet & each other, making sure both are proxy autneticated.

2. Installed the self assigned certificate in the trusted peoples directory that the vCentre server provides when visiting the web address.

3. Made sure that the 'Run As' account has relevant domain permissions to do the vCentre server.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hassan.

Hi,

I am in the process of creating SCVMM environment in MTM VS 2012. Here is the software deployment architecture.

TFS 2012

SCVMM 2012 sp1

VMWare ESX host version 5.1 is added to SCVMM 2012 sp1. While creating the environment using Stored virutal machine, i get below error.

Recommended Action
Add one or more hosts into host groups which are in this cloud's scope.

Recommended Action
Ensure that there are no operations occurring on virtual machine Lab_7b5c5cf4-6559-44c8-a90f-28759e8ec6dd and attempt placement again.

VMM 2012 SP1 installed on Server 2012 machine

VMM was integrated with a vSphere environment and was working correctly yesterday

As part of a preparation to migrate VMWare machines to Hyper-V, we ran the MAP tool yesterday on a Windows 7 workstation to view virtual machine migration readiness reports

MAP tool could not connect into VMWare environment, no data returned from inventory

Look into VMM server today, and the vCenter server shows the following status

The password on the run as account has not changed, the account is not locked out, it can successfully login to vSphere, and is listed as an admin in vSphere.  Again, everything worked yesterday, the MAP tool was the only task performed, which failed to collect data, and today we have no VMWare resources in VMM.

Any attempts to delete the vSphere connection, or change credentials to a different run as account result in the following error:

Cannot complete login due to an incorrect user name or password. (InvalidLogin). (Error ID: 2951, Detailed Error: )

We have also tried to remove any existing connections using the VMM PowerShell Command Shell, run as administrator, using the following command:

Get-SCVirtualizationManager | Remove-SCVirtualizationManager -RunAsynchronously

This command returns a similar error to what I have shown above in the first screenshot:

Remove-SCVirtualizationManager : Virtual Machine Manager cannot complete the VirtualCenter action on server server.fqdn.com because of the
following error: Cannot complete login due to an incorrect user name or password. (InvalidLogin). (Error ID: 2951, Detailed Error: )

This error occurs when an operation is denied access because of insufficient privileges on a managed object. Resolve the issue and then try the operation
again.

Hi,

I have just configured a VMM 2012 R2 installation to manage a VMware cluster. I can deploy a new VM from VMM just fine.

Then I imported a VMware template and now I try to deploy it to the cluster. When selecting placement it gives me the following error,

The virtualization software on host esxi3.domain.int does not support setting NumLock.
Specify a host that is running Windows Hyper-V and then try the operation again.

ID: 10638

It is always the host number 3 out of 8 hosts that gives the error.
We are using VMware ESXi 5.1 and vCenter 5.5

SCVMM 2012 integration with vCenter, Adding/using shared SAN storage connected to ESX hosts

$
0

My issue is.....SCVMM does not "see" any of the SAN datastores as shared.
I am manging a vSphere 4.0 infrastructure with 2 ESX 4.0 hosts
5 shared SAN datasores connected to the esx hosts with FC
In the SCVMM console the luns show up but not as valid migration paths
Further I have tried importing templates from this shared storage and it fails
When I try to create a VM using SCVMM the only storage path offered is the local storage on an ESX host
Do I needto add the "run as" account to the esx hosts?
I'm really frustrated with this "Integration" of SCVMM and vCenter

Do the SANS need to be added to the Fabric as storage?  If so How?

VMM 2012 SP1 VLAN issues

$
0

Hi,

I have Two ESXi host and 6 VMs, I have to migrate to Hyper-v 2012R2 using SCVMM2012 Sp1.

My physical Network contain multiple VLANs (cisoc switchs). ESXI hosts were in VLAN 15, using 192.168.15.0/24 .

My Guests were in second VLAN 25, using 192.168.25.0/24 for IP Addressing

The process:

  1. I created A Logical Network with a Network site using VLAN 15: Subnet 192.168.15.0/24. (with option allow Network virtualization,..)
  2. I created a Uplinkprofile (with Network virtualization enabled)
  3. a classifcation
  4. I created a Logical switch, I linked the logical Switch to the with Network site and logical Network using uplink profile
  5. I mapped the logical Switchs to hyper-v  hosts : I lost conenctivity with The hyper-v hosts
  6. I create w VM Network linked to the Networ site, i selected isolation and i added a IP pool with 192.168.10,0/24 with a range from this subnet.
  7. I linked the VM Network to the VM. but the VM cannot get the IP address and it cannot communicate with the rest of Network!

Questions:

  1. Can I add Both VLANs (hosts and VMs) on the Network site?
  2. The network virtualization must be enabled on the network Site?
  3. How i can define the VLAN for Guests in the IP Pool of 192.168.25.0?
  4. are there a limitations and prerequisites if I use VMM2012 Sp1 and the hosts were 2012R2?.it's supported?
  5. What'are the best practices to integrate VMM 2012 SP1 virtuals Networks and VLANs on an existing Network with VLAN taged on physical switchs.?

Thanks

Migrating VMWARE 5.1 to Hyper-V 2012R2 - Improve speed

$

Hello guys!

Im trying to migrate my Vmware v-Sphere 5.1 environment to my cluster Hyper-V 2012 R2. It is about 2000 VMs. 

I'm using SC VMM 2012 R2 to perfom the VMs migration. I had no issues during the whole process. During the test phases, I created a VM Win 2012R2 with fixed HD containing 40GB of data. This VM took about 1 hour to migrate from VMWare to Hyper-V. My question is: Is there any option to reduce this time? Is this time acceptable? Both source and destionation servers are using SSD disks and network teaming giving a result of 2Gbps on the NIC.

Another question: Can I migrate more than 1 Vm per time using VMM? If so, what is the limitation?

Thanks for the help!

How to get the LUN (Storage Logical Units) or the Storage Array details of an ESX host in SCVMM 2012

Hi,

We are working with a UI Add-in for SCVMM 2012 where we should support both Hyper-v and ESX hosts. When added the ESX host and presented few LUNs (out of band operation) from the HP 3PAR array, we are unable to view the Storage details like Storage Logical unit, Storage Pool and Storage Array when we select the same LUN in the Classification and Pools section of SCVMM. We tried even with the PowerShell, but couldn’t help. Can you please guide us, how we can get the storage details of a LUN presented to the ESX host which is added in the SCVMM 2012.

Thanking you.

Hari
