I have a case open with support on this but I wanted to see if anyone else has run into it.  We upgraded from ESXi 5.0/5.1 with vCenter 5.1 to ESXi 6 and vCenter 6.  After the upgrade, DRS has started throwing this error on our hosts:

"Unable to apply DRS resource settings on host.  The available Memory resources in the parent resource pool are insufficient for the operation...."

It'll appear usually after a vMotion (on or off) or a reset of a vm.  I did manage to clear it by reducing memory reservations on VM's but that's only a temporary fix.  Otherwise it appears to just randomly clear itself.

Looking at a vm's memory resource allocation shows it cannot reserve any memory (the orange triangle is at the far left.)

Across the cluster I have 2TB of memory, allocated to VM's I have 475GB.  Looking at the vm's on a host when this alarm is active also shows plenty of memory available.

Support has tried disabling and re-enabling HA.  That cleared it for about a day before it came back.  We've tried removing the pools.xml file, restarting the hosts and vCenter.

VM's and Hosts are the same as they were under ESXi 5.0/5.1 and vCenter 5.1.  This error never appeared on that version.

Thank you in advance for any insight.

Hi Admins!

I dont understand why my newly created vcenter use to much cpu resources.

Java(TM) Platform Binary uses 50% of cpu resources

Environment:

6 ESX hosts (5.5)

1 virtual vcenter (5.5)

150 VMs

My vcenter server is running as a VM (win2012r2) configured with 4 vcpus ( Our old vcenter had 2 vcpus and had no issues)

Vanilla install

Any advice how i should tackle this?

Cheers

Hi!

I successfully installed VMware ESXi 6.0 U1 Build 3073146 and then downloaded and deployed VMware vCenter Server Appliance 6.0.0 U1 Build 3018523.

The problem is that I cannot access the web interface on port 5480. IP address is pingable and the web client is working.

After reading some other topics I ran the command: netstat -plantu | grep 5480

Normal output would be (this is for a vCenter Appliance 5.5.0):

VCSA:~ # netstat -plantu | grep 5480

tcp        0      0 :::5480                 :::*                    LISTEN      2486/vami-lighttpd

Output on my system:

VCSA:~ # netstat -plantu | grep 5480

Could anyone help me to solve this issue?

Since updating to vCenter / vSphere 6 update 2, I'm starting to see a steady stream of VSAN Health tasks being logged in vcenter.  However, I'm not using or even licensed for VSAN so I'm a little stumped.  .  The events being logged every few seconds are:

     Retrieve a ticket to register the Virtual SAN VASA Provider

and

     Update option values

If I stop the VSan Health Monitoring Service, these events stop. 

My question is, if I'm not actually using VSAN, is there any harm in disabling the Health Monitor service?  I'm assuming no, but would like to get confirmation

I am a VMWare Newbe.

I installed VMware vCenter Server Appliance 5.5.0b released. (followed the TinkerTry instructions Deploy VMware's vCenter Server Appliance 5.5 in a home lab, without SSO errors - YouTube)

I could not configure a DataCenter over the WebClient, so I switch to vSphereClient.

Now I can't see the DataCenter (and all the inventory) in the WebClient (vSphereClient is fine).

If I try to create a DataCenter over the WebClient I get the message that "datacenter" is already there.

What could be the problem?

EDIT: Posted wrong KB in subject line and below (corrected KB the link shown below, was not able to edit Subject field above).

I am attempting to follow KB 2109074 - VMware KB: vCenter Server or Platform Services Controller certificate validation error for external VMware Solutions…

My steps relate to the 2 KB's linked to in the main KB article: 2109074

Everything goes fine in preparation to run the final command like getting the old certificate fingerprint, getting the new certificate file, etc.

When attempting to run the actual command in Windows (the most successful version of the command I am running as follows):

"C:\Program Files\VMware\vCenter Server\python\python.exe" ls_update_certs.py --url https://vcenter.domain.local/lookupservice/sdk --fingerprint b1:35:c1:9c:a5:59:dd:ab:3d:c2:50:e7:92:79:82:f0:b6:85:7d:c8 --certfile C:\certificates\new_machine.crt --user Administrator@vsphere.local --password "Passw0rd&"

BTW, the VMware KB says:

"Note: On Windows systems, enclose the password in double quotes."

I get is this error (fails on get-site-id) :

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "ls_update_certs.py", line 19, in <module>

    args.password)

  File "C:\Program Files\VMware\vCenter Server\VMware Identity Services\lstool\s

cripts\lstoolutil.py", line 79, in modify_svc_ep_certs

    raise Exception("'lstool get-site-id' failed: %d" % rc)

Exception: 'lstool get-site-id' failed: 1

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've tried this on 2 different vCenter servers (both at 6.0u2) and get the same behavior, I've tried every combo of passwords for PSC/SSO like Passw0rd!   Pass-w0rd    P@ssw0rd  W34df*fdc4  ..etc, and tried it with or without quotes (2 quotes, 4 quotes), tried bash escape after password like: \   ...and nothing works. I'm not even sure if this is a password issue. A few lines above I see things showing this:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Caused by: com.vmware.vim.vmomi.core.exception.CertificateValidationException: Server certificate chain not verified

Caused by: javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: peer not authenticated at sun.security.ssl.SSLSessionImpl.getPeerCertificates(SSLSessionImpl.java:421) at com.vmware.vim.vmomi.client.http.impl.ThumbprintTrustManager$Hostname Verifier.verify(ThumbprintTrustManager.java:296)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, I can successfully run this command (which doesn't seem to require a password):

"C:\Program Files\VMware\vCenter Server\python\python.exe" "C:\Program Files\VMware\vCenter Server\VMware Identity Services\lstool\scripts\lstool.py" get-site-id --url https://vcenter.domain.local/lookupservice/sdk"

..It works fine and shows the SSO name of default-sso-site.

All other aspects of the signed certificate install have succeed except the Lookup Service which is causing my NSX Manager install to not connect back up to the Lookup Service..

I also am getting the error from the Web Client showing this:

"Error occurred while processing request. Check vSphere WebClient logs for details."     (Refer to KB: https://kb.vmware.com/kb/2129053 )   ...caused by same issue as well:

Anyone else see this behavior or know of any possible way to recover from this without having to re-install? How to debug the .py scripts better? Is there any better documentation from VMware on how these scripts work? Can the Lookup Service be re-installed?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Hello.

Have big problem with vSphere client

Today i press button Clear SSL certificate in IE on my Windows 7 OS

Then i faced with strange issue

I'm trying connect to vm console (client connected to vCenter) and i have an error ssl verification failure for "ip" due to a host thumbprint mismatch.

It's happend again then i trying to connect directly to ESXI

vCenter version 5.0,ESXi 5.0

What I tried to do - clear SSL ignore by regedit, reinstall vSphere client - it's not resolve a problem

I'm still not able to connect to any VM console

I'm trying connect from websphere - no luck,same error

Then i install client on different machine - all running ok

Since updating to vCenter / vSphere 6 update 2, I'm starting to see a steady stream of VSAN Health tasks being logged in vcenter.  However, I'm not using or even licensed for VSAN so I'm a little stumped.  .  The events being logged every few seconds are:

     Retrieve a ticket to register the Virtual SAN VASA Provider

and

     Update option values

If I stop the VSan Health Monitoring Service, these events stop. 

My question is, if I'm not actually using VSAN, is there any harm in disabling the Health Monitor service?  I'm assuming no, but would like to get confirmation

I have two host running ESXi 5.0 which I have succesfully added to my vcenter (5.0 client and server).  However one of the hosts is missing 3 vm's from its inventory.  I can connect directly to the ESXi 5.0 server and see all vm's running.  I am sure it is not coincidence that these three servers are my only linux servers (canned Squid proxy servers).

1) I stopped and started the Vcenter server services.  same results.

2) I have removed and readded the host. same results, but I do want to note that during the add process I did see that all servers showed in the list of vm's running on the host.

Thanks for any help!

   I recently upgraded my vCenter Appliance and my ESXi host to 5.5. When I did that i noticed I could now install the client integration plugin on my mac. It is nice that I can upload files from my mac but I noticed that if I try to launch the console for a virtual machine I get a error that this page cannot be displayed, I tried Safari, Firefox and Chrome from my Mac and it does not work. It does work from Windows. So it it a case that it half works or could there be something else wrong.

Is anyone else using a Mac to access the web client for vCenter? I am very curious to know if It is a case that this is a big or I just get half the functionality since I am on a Mac.

Hallo,

we just installed a latest 6.5 vCenter on Windows 2012R2 with the latest patches.

Memory 16 GB / 4 Cores in a ESXi 6.0 VM, plenty of HD memory free.

The first few days the server worked very well. Without any changes it begun to get more and more unresponsive.

Finally we can't work anymore with it. After restart it is now not responding anymore. See below ...

After startup is finished the Web Client shows the following message.

URL: https://192.168.2.10/

503 Service Unavailable (Failed to connect to endpoint: [class Vmacore::Http::NamedPipeServiceSpec:0x000000d54dcd5ef0] _serverNamespace = / action = Allow _pipeName =\\.\pipe\vmware-vpxd-webserver-pipe)

The URL: https://192.168.2.10/vsphere-client/?csp

Show the login screen:

After login, the mask (sectioned screen, On the left "Hosts and Clusters" is selected by default.) without content in the white areas, appears. It never fills (waited 30 minutes).

On top a message says:

"Es konnte keine Verbindung zu einem oder mehreren vCenter Server-Systemen hergestellt werden:

https://vCenter.test.com:443/sdk"

When I go to this url I get this message:

503 Service Unavailable (Failed to connect to endpoint: [class Vmacore::Http::LocalServiceSpec:0x000000c10f8bf5d0] _serverNamespace = /sdk action = Allow _port = 8085)

Going to Home (Button on top) shows the expected screen.

But "Hosts and Clusters" does not respond.

All other Menues on the left do work.

Memory consumption is 7,5GB of 16GB, no load on CPU (4%).

-------

I triple checked all hosts files and IP addresses.

I checked vsphere_client_virgo.log and found many exceptions.

Thank you for your help!

Is the SYSLOG Collector in vSphere 6 discontinued?

Up to vSphere vCenter Server 5.5 there was an option under vSphere Support Tools to "Install vSphere Syslog Collector".

From the install screen of vSPhere 6 vCenter Server there is not an option to "Install vSphere Syslog Collector".

I know you can redirect the logs from ESXi hosts and vCenter Server to a Syslog host and I know there is a still a Syslog Service, but do you have to install a thrid party Syslog Server now and redirect the logs to that?  The vSphere documentation is not very clear.

regards

Hi there,

I have upgraded my Windows vCenter 5.5 to version 6. I accessed the VC by going to https://vc.domain.com, after upgrading to version 6, it redirects me after clicking on "login to web client" to https://vcenter/websso/SAML2/SSOSSL?RelyingPartyEntityId=id (since vCenter is it's hostname). I have tried numerous things, under which:

* Change sso.properties file to match the correct URI

* Change the content of C:\ProgramData\VMware\vCenterServer\cfg\vmware-vpx\vpxd.cfg

* Change the settings from the advanced settings in VMware web client (from the vCenter itself):

     config.vpxd.sso.admin.uri

     config.vpxd.sso.groupcheck.uri

     config.vpxd.sso.sts.uri

But all of these RESET on every vCenter reboot, so the settings are never truly applied.

Am I missing anything?

I have vCenter Appliance Server 6.0U2a running on ESXi 6.0U2 host which hosts about 15 VMs.

Also on the same host, I have an Active Directory Windows 2012 R2 VM Server which is also a DNS server.

At the moment, this is the only Physical server on the network. There are no other hosts or servers.

For some reason, when I need to shut down this physical server: First, I shut down all the VMs on the server.

Second, I shut down my Active Directory/DNS server and Finally I shut down vCenter.

Then I shut down my physical server by shutting down my host and all of this done through a vSphere Client or Web client.

However, when I shut down my Active Directory/DNS server somehow it loses connection to all VMs on the host including vCENTER which  is still powered on.

I am seeing all VMs are listed as disconnected. I am then forced to shut down the host through a vSphere web client and I am not sure if the vCenter was shutdown gracefully or if it had any issues restarting.

IN MY CASE, WHAT IS THE PROPER WAY TO SHUT DOWN vCENTER?

PLEASE LIST STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS.

Thanks in advance...

PS. Where can I check to see since last reboot if vCenter started properly?

PSS. on reboot I get this screen. What is happening here?

Hi!

I successfully installed VMware ESXi 6.0 U1 Build 3073146 and then downloaded and deployed VMware vCenter Server Appliance 6.0.0 U1 Build 3018523.

The problem is that I cannot access the web interface on port 5480. IP address is pingable and the web client is working.

After reading some other topics I ran the command: netstat -plantu | grep 5480

Normal output would be (this is for a vCenter Appliance 5.5.0):

VCSA:~ # netstat -plantu | grep 5480

tcp        0      0 :::5480                 :::*                    LISTEN      2486/vami-lighttpd

Output on my system:

VCSA:~ # netstat -plantu | grep 5480

Could anyone help me to solve this issue?

Hello

I have recently upgraded our VMware estate to 5.5, however we use a virtual machine as the VSphere server. This has caused an issue because I have upgraded the VMware hardware to V10 and I would like to change the VM's settings...however if you power off the vm (to change the settings) I lose web management (because it is hosted from the VSphere server) and I cant use the Windows "fat client" to change the settings because you get the following error message "You cannot use the VSphere client to edit the settings of virtual machines of version 10 or higher, use the VSphere Web Client to edit the settings of this machine"

It is a complete catch 22

Any advice?

I'm not sure of the correct forum for this question. I'm trying to connect from my workstation to the Web Client for a vCenter 5.1.0 Server. All I get is "This page can't be displayed" or a close equivalent in IE, Firefox, or Chrome. On the other hand, I am able to connect to the vCenter using the old vSphere client. And everyone else in my office is able to connect to this vCenter using the Web Client, so I'm the only one who can't. Rebooting my workstation didn't help. I've got VMware Client Integration Plug-in 5.1.0 installed on my workstation. What can I do to resolve this problem?

Thanks!

Hi all,

  Doing a deployment of a new vCenter 6.0 U3a  we are getting Failed to initialize VMware Certificate Authority - Error 100004  ( popup title install.vmafd.vmca_selfcafailed ) . Not gonna paste from the logs unless needed.  . We checked DNS entries/ DB connection / everything else that we could think of ,

  I think I found the issue. We are able to install on the same OS / same settings vCenter 6.0 U2a . Done several revert to snapshot and reproduced the scenario several times -  each time getting the same conclusion : vCenter 6.0U2a works , u3/u3a does not Work.

So what I saw is that openssl version was changed. My ideea is that we are missing a hotfix on the Windows VM ( which  is Windows 2008 R2 patched with security hotfixes only ) . So now I'm trying to see what might be the hotfix that we need ( taking in consideration that we can't just  put all patches ) .

Have also a SR opened to VMware, so far no solution .

Any ideas, anyone ?

Thank you.

Dear VMware Community!

I don't have any web interface after install. Could you help me to solve this issue?

I installed successfully VMware-ESXi-5.5.0, and then downloaded and deployed VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-5.5.0.5101-1398493.

This is nmap scan results of vCenter Server Appliance:

I hope that some of you faced with this problem, because I can't find a solution!:-)

In attached file you can find screenshot form console.

Cheers!

By the way, from default virtual machine hardware version is 7, I upgraded it to 10 but without any change.
