I have a fully functional, completely working vCenter 6 environment. Admin users can log in and see the entire inventory, as they're supposed to.

However, I have a number of business users that need restricted permissions in a subfolder in the inventory. I have added a new role to vCenter with the permissions they need, and applied that role for that user to the specific subfolder.

Now: those users are not supposed to see any other folders in the inventory tree above of on the same level in the tree, just their own folder.

Before I upgraded to vCenter 6 (appliance), I had it working fine. With vCenter 6, this model broke: the users only see the 'empty inventory' text in the 'VMs and Templates' view.

Weird thing is: when that same user browses to 'vCenter Inventory Lists', clicks 'Virtual Machines', he sees his own (and only his own) VM and can interact with it in accordance with his permissions.

So it seems there's a new permission needed in vCenter to see only that part of the Inventory tree applicable to a specific user, but I (1) haven't found that permission yet and (2) wouldn't even know to which object in the tree to assign the permission

Any thoughts?

Hi experts,

I tried to install vCenter 6.0, and got the following error:

• Installation of component VCSServiceManager failed with error code '1603'. Check the logs for more details.

Checked the release notes, ipv4 stack is all fine.

I tried a couple of times, couldn't overcome this. Also tried to upgrade from 5.5 to 6.0, failed with the same error.

How can I overcome this?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Forget to mention: I am installing this on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard

Hi all

I'm running in a strange issue. When trying to create a Content Library through vSphere Web Client, I'm always getting an error that states that The operation failed because "this method requires authentication”. I'm creating a Content Library without marking the authentication checkbox.

Furthermore, the error always pops up no matter what Content Library type I try to create (Local, subscription, etc...)

Anyone has run into similar issue?

Thanks

Hi,

I downloaded the vSphere SDK 6.0.0-2561048. And run "run.bat" under SDK\vsphere-ws\java\JAXWS.

command: > run.bat com.vmware.general.GetHostName --url https://[my vcenter IP]/sdk --username [my username] --password [my password].

It returned error:

ERROR: could not connect: login fault : The server sent HTTP status code 404: Not Found

I confirmed that my username and password is correct and have right privilege.

My vCenter is 6.0.0, 3018524.

I tried the same command on another vCenter, it returned the ESXi hosts information.

Can someone tell me what did I miss in the vCenter which returned error?

Thanks!

Hello,

I was successfully able to install my vCenter Server 5.5. For identity sources I have vsphere.local as default but I have also set-up AD (Integrated Windows Authentication) under configuration. I want to be able to log on using an AD account.

I am able to set vCenter Server permissions using the AD account (users / groups populate just fine from AD domain) and set it with role of Administrator. However I can't log on using the AD account to vCenter server. I keep getting that the username / password is incorrect though I know it isn't. Am I missing something? I have tried in context of

domain\user

user@domain.local

user itself but no go.

Any advise is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

GV

Hello,

we update 2 vsphere 5.0 Hosts to 5.1 and the vcenter too. Now we connect new Storage to the vsphere Hosts and migrate some of the VMs on the new Store.

(all of them have latest VMtools installed, are the latest VM HW-Version, they have no ISO, Floppy-Images or something else attached) Cause of Vsphere Essential we made the Storage Migration when then VMs were offline.

After the successfull storage-migration of all VMs, we saw that 3 VMs show us under Resources of the VM the old and the new datastore, also on the inventory of the datastore we saw on both datastore the vm, but when we browse the datastore the VMS are only (correct) on the new datastore.

I know that happens if some iso, images etc. are connected when the VM ist migrated, but we checked that double an there is no reference to the old datastore at the settings of the VM. When we connect direct to the host the VM datastore is show us correct only the new datastore.

How can we fix this????

Best regards

Hi,

I am working on getting a new implementation of VCSA v5.5 up and running and I have the VM created and working, but I am having an issue changing the name of the server.  I am running the /opt/VMware/share/vami/vami_config_net program and setting the new name.  I then exit the program and reboot the VM and the old name comes back instead of the new name.  I have even tried setting the hostname using the Linux HOSTNAME command and it looks like it takes, but once again, as soon as I reboot the server, it reverts back to the old hostname.

Any ideas what is going on?

Thanks,

Sean

Hello I have vCenter Server, vSphere Client, vSphere update manager, and vSphere web client installed on my server.

I see that there are 3 java.exe processes taking up 2.3GB (all together), and tomcat6.exe taking up 750mb.

One Java process is taking up 1.2GB of ram.

Another Java process is taking up 570 MB of ram.

Another Java process is taking up 470 MB of ram.

So all together they are taking up 3gb of memory on this server.  Is this normal?

Or is there a way to get these processes down on RAM usage?

Hello,

I'm trying to import an OVA file and I get the error:

"A vCenter Server resource is missing or invalid.  Either the resource was modified while the operating system was running or the server is experiencing a general problem"

This OVA file is from Cisco, it's called Prime.  I had to install another OVA file from Cisco just now and that was fine.

Is it a resourse issue on the reource pool, not sure where to look.

Thanks

I've just updated VCSA to 5.1.0.10000 Build 1065184. I had to uninstall VMware Tools first 'cause update failed with

"VMware Tools cannot install because it appears that another installation of

VMware Tools is already present. Please remove the previous installation and

then attempt to install this copy of VMware Tools again."

error in /opt/vmware/var/log/vami/updatecli.log (I had similar problem with previous update).

After update I can see in this log:

"22/05/2013 14:43:48 [INFO] Running /opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_reconfigure_tools

Hi

We are involved in a migration project since ESX/ESXi 4.1 to ESXi 5.  Now all my infrastructure is managed by a vcenter 4.1 and it manages several ESX 4.1 and ESXi 4.1.  Recently we've bought a new license for vcenter 5.5 and I've installed it.  Before upgrade the hosts to 5 release, I want to manage them into the new vcenter but when I try to add them into it, I get this error message:  "The host is licensed with vsphere 4 Hypervisor.  The license edition of vcenter server does not support vsphere 4 hypervisor."

How can I get this license key?

Thanks for your help

Best Regards!

I recently upgraded from vCenter 5.1 to 5.5. After the upgrade I began to get health warnings for the VMware vCenter Storage Monitoring Service that say "Service initialization failed". I have rebooted the vCenter server and restarted the services several times and that has not cleared the issue. When I look in the SMS.LOG file there is no activity in it since the date I did the upgrade (a week or more ago). All prior activity in the SMS.LOG looks to be fine up up until the upgrade occured though. I have found at least a half-dozen KB articles that describe various reasons why this error might occur but they all pertain to older versions of vCenter. Just to be thorough though I reviewed the symptoms in the articles and none of them really seem to be the same as what I am seeing. My one hypothesis is that perhaps the SMS didn't get properly re-installed during the upgrade because I don't see any SMS sub directory in the \Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\tomcat\webapps directory but I'm not even sure if this directory should exist on a 5.5 installation.

Would appreciate if anyone has any troubleshooting advice for this type error.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi,

we created a VM and when trying to start I get the following error:

An error was received from the ESX host while powering on VM VGLI3.

Failed to start the virtual machine.

Failed to power on VM.

Could not power on virtual machine: msg.vmk.status.VMK_NO_SPACE.

Current swap file size is 0 KB.

Failed to extend swap file from 0 KB to 8385536 KB.

How can we fix that? Thanks.

Configuration: vCenter Virtual Appliance running 5.1.0.  2 x identical ESXi hosts running 5.0U1.  VCVA is running on ESXi host 'a'.

Symptom: vCenter complains of a disconnect in communication with the host, but automatically reconnects after a moment.  ESXi hosts do not experience any issues - no reboots, no interruption to running VMs on them or connections to applications on the VMs.  Have not been able to find any seemingly relevant messages in the logs on either ESXi hosts.

Times of events:

Oct 30, 3:07PM - disconnect from host 'b', automatically reconnected after a moment

Nov 6, 10:35PM - disconnect from host 'a', automatically reconnected after a moment

Nov 20, 8:00AM - disconnect from host 'a', automatically reconnected after a moment

The key errors that I've located are in the vCenter vpxd.log files.  Same pattern of messages for each occurrence (didn't see these messagea at any other time).

Does anyone have any ideas as to what service is connecting to what, or where I might look for further information regarding this issue?  I've not come up with any useful KB articles or discussion posts regarding these messages.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

I have created a vApp with 16 VMs in a vSphere 5.5 enabled cluster.  In each vApp, a two VMs (total of 8 pairs) that  need to reside on the same host as they are connection to an Internal Only virtual portgroup on a VDS switch.  I have created the DRS rules for each pair via Powercli.  The VMs are added correctly, however only one rule is enabled.  The other 7 rules show disabled in the GUI and with the Get-DRS rule PowerCLI command.  I have attempted to enable the rules (check the box) in the GUI and through the PowerCLI without success.  No errors show up in the logs or when I run the PowerCLI Set-DRS rule.  Recent Tasks show the  Reconfigure cluster task completed, but the rules are not enabled.

How do I get the DRS rules enabled.

Thanks

Hi

I have a cluster that consist of 6 hosts where manual vmotion works fine, but when I put my hosts in Maintenance mode, it just doesn't vmotion the vm's to the other hosts in the cluster. This problem started after we had some major network problems and every host have been rebooted after the network problem was solved. I've done vmkping and looked in different logs without finding any clues. Any idea on how to fix this (so that I can update to Update 2 without putting to much manual work into it)?

Hi all,

Ive recently upgraded about 200 hosts to ESXi 5 from ESX 4.1 and 2 vcenters 5 also.

Ive noticed a problem with host profiles when it comes to storage, and wanted to see if anyone else has come across it.

Basically its only happening on the HP BL620 G7 but the older HP BL680 G5's are unaffected.

When creating a profile from an existing host, That host it is created off obviously is compliant, but all the rest come back with saying that the local disk naa that was in the host it was created from is missing.. this only happens on the G7's might have something to do with a newer controller in the hosts?

Ok thats ok i edited the profile and removed that naa from the check but then the hosts are coming back with

Host state doesnt match specification: device (naa of local storage for that host) needs to be reset

Host state doesnt match specification: device (naa of local storage for that host) Path Selection Policy needs to be set to default for claiming SATP

Looking at the profile the default for VMW_SATP_LOCAL is fixed which is what the disk is set at.

Any one seen this? I have removed something from the check but seams to make things worse, I dont mind at the moment because I know the hosts are compliant I would like a big green tick instead of a big red cross

Cheers

I upgraded my vCenter to 5.5 from 5.1 and it works except the Web Client has incorrect inventory data.  It is missing some VMs and has some ghost VMs that don't actually exist.  There aren't any error messages that suggest the server is malfunctioning.  The really strange thing is that when I connect with the vSphere Client on Windows, everything is correct there.  Also Veeam shows all the correct inventory when it connects to the vCenter server.  So its only the Web Client that is wrong.  Has anyone experienced this or have any ideas on how to force the Web Client to refresh?

edit: forgot to mention this is VCSA

Hi,

I have updated the vCenter 5.5 to the latest version that is available yesterday. It is linux appliance.

I was having problem to get in to web client after the update. I performed the "Regenerate SSL certificates" option thats located under Admin tab. Then the issue is resolved and I am able to get in to web client.

Now, I am seeing the different issue.

Unable to retreive health data from http://localhost/sps/health.xml

Unable to retreive health data from http://localhost/sms/health.xml

These 2 services are running but not able to load it. Also, I am seeing the following exceptions in the log.

In my vpxd.log file I see at the same time:

2012-09-18T10:06:53.036+02:00 [11704 error 'SoapAdapter.HTTPService'] HTTP Transaction failed on stream TCPStreamWin32(socket=TCP(fd=16104) local=127.0.0.1:8085,  peer=127.0.0.1:59602) with error class Vmacore::SystemException(An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. )

Someone knows how to resolve this?

Thanks,

Bart
