I'm looking for some clarification on information found in VMware KB 2143565. The instructions state to change the numeric values in the following lines:

log4j.appender.LOGFILE.MaxFileSize

log4j.appender.LOGFILE.MaxBackupIndex

log4j.appender.PERFLOG.MaxBackupIndex

However, these lines are not present in the 'log4j.properties' file on this VCSA, version 6.0.0.30100.

The mount point is 10 GB in size and 100% utilized

Filesystem                            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

I have attached a copy of the log4j.properties file along with drive utilization of the /storage/log/vmware directory.

Any assistance or suggestion are greatly appreciated.

This is the first time I've used a VCSA appliance, and I just find it strange that I have 11 virtual disks assigned to this appliance. Is this a normal occurrence? Here's what I see when I got to Manage Hard Disks in the VM settings.

Hard disk 1 - 12.00 GB

Hard disk 2 - 1.27 GB

Hard disk 3 - 25.00 GB

Hard disk 4 - 25.00 GB

Hard disk 5 - 10.00 GB

Hard disk 6 - 10.00 GB

Hard disk 7 - 5.00GB

Hard disk 8 - 10.00 GB

Hard disk 9 - 1.00 GB

Hard disk 10 - 10.00GB

Hard disk 11 - 5.00 GB

Hi

When I try to export a list of all our vm's to excel - we only get the first hundred or so - in tests anywhere from 85 to 120 -- I would like to see all 800..... Is this a known issue? Or is it just me?

Any ideas gratefully recieved

TIA

Hello.

I have upgrade to VCSA 6.5 and I'm using it's Update Manager to try and "Scan for Updates" and checkmark in Upgrades. I have attached the baseline a Cluster level.

When doing so for an already upgraded Host I get the error: Cannot deplay upgrade agent on Host.

When doing so for a not yet upgraded Host I get the error: VMware vSphere Update Manager has an unknown error. Check the network connectivity and logs fiies for details.

The list shows 2 Compliant, 3 Non-Compliant and 3 Unknown.

One of our Hosts are Out Cold and awaiting a systemboard change. NSX is installed but only for use for Guest Introspection and McAfee MOVE AV. Both show Installation Status Failed. The one Host is probably the problem there.

If I de-attached the baseline from Cluster level and attach it to a yet to be upgrade Host I get "VMware vSphere Update Manager has an unknown error. Check the network connectivity and logs fiies for details."

Scan entity stops at 17%, I see no errors in Event Console

Repeat this for the upgraded server I get: "Cannot deploy host upgrade agent. Check the network connectivity and logs of host agent and vpxa for details." Scan Entity stops after two seconds.

Any ideas?

Best Regards

Peter

Hi Guys,

Hopefully something you can assist me with to stop me from ripping anymore of my hair out   For the last few days, I have been trying to add our VCSA to our domain so that I can setup the SSO domain.

This is a brand new deployment - 6.0 all around.  We are using the embedded VCSA with an embedded deployment.  When I go to join the domain, I get the following error:

Idm client exception: Error trying to join AD, error code [11], user [Administrator@mydomain], domain [mydomain], orgUnit []

I have replaced our domain name with 'mydomain' above - any ideas?

This is a new VCSA 6.5 adn the domain is almost new.

When trying to add the VCSA to Active Directory it is reporting:

Idm client exception: Error trying to join AD, error code [41887], user [administrator@domain], domain [domain.com], orgUnit [Computers]

Have not found a message that will help me with this error.

Tried to do it from the cli using SSH but it failed also.

When installing a second vCenter I keep running into the errors:

1. Firstboot script execution error.

2. The supplied System Name vcenter-01.domain.local is not valid.

3. If the supplied system name is a FQDN, then make sure the DNS forward lookup results in at least one valid IP address in the system. If the supplied system name is an IP address, then it should be one of the valid IP address(es) in the system.

This is a second vCenter install I am working on. I installed a vCenter 6 appliance with the psc and vCenter in our DR creating creating the vsphere.local (we are installing new hardware and moving from 5.0) just fine. At our Prod site I am running the appliance iso using a newly setup esxi 6 u1 host. I join the SSO site and create a new site name or join the existing, I am using a dvgroup with a Ephemeral port on the dvSwitch. I have triple checked the DNS settings. There is a host and pointer record for the esxi 6 host and appliance, I can run a nslookup from multiple machines with no issues.

Any thoughts as I am stuck.

Hi folks,

I've started today the migration of our 5.5 into 6.0. During pre-checks, an SSL issue came out

"Error: vCenter CA certificate not verified. Stopping...."

I've googled and find out that SSL have to be renewed.

I've followed that guide : https://anthonyspiteri.net/upgrading-windows-vcenter-5-5-to-6-0-in-place-issues-and-fixes/

which then lead to :  VMware Knowledge Base  and  https://anthonyspiteri.net/dealing-with-a-revoked-vcenter-ssl-certificate/

New SSL were created, vxpd -p has been used in order to generate a new password and services were restarted.

I've used the VmWare Certificate automation tool and here starts the mess.

Right after using 5, 2 options, I'm entering all the requested credentials, and it fails with the error :

[27/02/2018 - 14:55:44.94]: Validating the configuration and state of vCenter Server

 

---------- C:\PROGRAMDATA\VMWARE\VMWARE VIRTUALCENTER\VPXD.CFG

[27/02/2018 - 14:56:10.56]: The vCenter certificate update failed.

Current status:

- I cannot logon on vSphere.

- VmWare VirtualCenter Server service starts

- VmWare VirtualCenter Management WebServices service keeps on crashing after a few seconds.

- I'm notable to login with all accounts I've got on https://localhost/mob/?moid=vpxd-securitymanager&method=reloadSslCertificate&vmodl=1

What would you recommend to do in order to quickly fix this? Reinstall vSphere 5.5 first?

Please share your thoughts.

Regards,

poy

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!

We recently installed vCenter Server Appliance to replace the existing vCenter server.  It automatically installs a Evaluation Mode license and then gives warnings that licenses are about to expire.  Since we already own an Enterprise license, we added these licenses to the new vCenter server and then added the existing hosts to the new vCenter server.  The hosts were added to the correct license key and the vCenter server was added to the correct license key.  The Evaluation Mode license now has a 0 usage.  Everything is working correctly except that the eval license is still sitting there and we are still getting warnings.  It appears that the only way to get rid of this is to upgrade the eval license to a purchased license, but we don't need to upgrade since we already have a valid Enterprise license.

How can we remove the eval license and remove the warnings that this is generating?

I received this alarm as datacenter target but how can I know more details?

I don't understand what means OR in the alarm definition because there are twice RED status, 1 GREEN status and 1 YELLOW status

ALARM:

Target: Datacenters

Previous Status: Green

New Status: Red

Alarm Definition:

([Event alarm expression: vCenter Service Overall Health Changed; Status = Red] OR

[Event alarm expression: vCenter Service Overall Health Changed; Status = Green] OR

[Event alarm expression: vCenter Service Overall Health Changed; Status = Red] OR

[Event alarm expression: vCenter Service Overall Health Changed; Status = Yellow])

Event details:

vCenter Service overall health changed from 'green' to 'red'

I'm getting these errors when i try to install vCenter 6.0

Firstboot script execution Error. 

The supplied System Name vcsa6.mydomain.com is not valid.

Suggest that DNS is the problem.  I'm using a home router as my DNS server and it doesn't allow you to manually update DNS records.  How can I complete the install without changing my router?  There has to be a way to install vCenter Server without a dependency on DNS...

I have the vCSA ISO extracted to local drive and am running it from Internet Explorer as Administrator mode. After allowing the plugin, I click Install.

I click Accept, then Next.

At this point, I am unable to proceed past 2. Connect to target server step.

This is the error code which I can not get past no matter what I try:

"Cannot connect to target server. Invalid FQDN or IP address."

I can enter FQDN, IP address, root or domain accounts and nothing works. I even tried connecting to a virtual ESXi 5.5 u2 server with nothing configured but IP address and root password.

I've tried from utility servers, and from my user workstation, no luck -> same error.

The ESXi hosts are not in lockdown mode or in maintenance mode. I've tried all of about 30 different IP addresses and FQDNs for the various ESXi 5.5 hosts.

The hosts do have new ECA-signed ssl certificates, and i thought this might be an issue, but the virtual ESXi server i deployed didn't work either, and that had the default VMware certs.

I've tried reinstalling the Client Integration 6.0 plugin, restarting workstation/utility servers.

I've tried Firefox and IE 11 but nothing appears to work.

I've verified that the FQDN or IP and username/password works when connecting via the vSphere Client so I know I'm not fat-fingering it into the setup wizard.

What gives? What am I missing? Has anyone experienced this problem? Is there a way to collect logs for this? I tried looking for them but also couldn't find anything.

This is a new VCSA 6.5 adn the domain is almost new.

When trying to add the VCSA to Active Directory it is reporting:

Idm client exception: Error trying to join AD, error code [41887], user [administrator@domain], domain [domain.com], orgUnit [Computers]

Have not found a message that will help me with this error.

Tried to do it from the cli using SSH but it failed also.

Hello. Can anybody help me, please. When i`m resetting passoword for administrator@vsphere.local in my Vsphere 6, i get such error:

"VmDirForceResetPassword failed (5)"

What am i doing wrong?

For resetting `ve used KB manual: VMware KB: Unlocking and resetting the VMware vCenter Single Sign-On administrator password

Please help.

I have a set of limted users who are only given the 'power options and media' permissions to their specific VM's and nothing else.  They can get to do what they need; however, I have a need to let them edit the cd settings and mount an .iso file directly out of the local datastore on the esx host.

They also get permission denied when its set to "Client Device" and hit the button to mount their local CD.

I would prefer to mount the .iso from the 'Datastore ISO file" but it would suffice to get the "Client Device" working.

I have tried to give datatstore browse and modify device settings but they do not ungrey the browse next to the mounting of iso file.  Manual type in doesnt work either.  I still want to limit them without giving administrator access.

Anyone seen this error when trying to edit a VM?  Happens whether we add a disk, disconnect a NIC.   6.7 Vcenter with 6.0 hosts..

i am getting this Error 1068 When trying to start vCenter Server Service. Any Solution for this?

Physical Server 2012R2 VCenter 6 server was cleanly shutdown for some hardware maintenance and booted up fine afterwards.

During shutdown this event was logged in the Application log:

The description for Event ID 1000 from source VMware VirtualCenter Server cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

Initiating VMware VirtualCenter shutdown

the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table

After boot most of the Vcenter services had not started, nor could they be manually started.  I traced it back to the first failure logged in the System log:

The VMware HTTP Reverse Proxy service terminated with the following service-specific error:

Incorrect function.

I cannot start this service manually it fails with the same error.  All other services fail with a dependancy error.

This is extremely frustrating because we upgraded this server from Server 2008R2 for the same reason, Services would fail to start.  When it had Server 2008R2 its was running 5.1, we tried upgrading to 6 but it failed and we could not resolve it, so we completely removed Vcenter and tried a fresh install, this failed until I managed to "trick" the installer by altering the VMware vCenter workflow manager service to run as local system otherwise it always failed.  So we got it installed and running, then after the first reboot just failed to start the services!!!  So we fresh installed Windows 2012R2, installed VCenter without any AV or other "cruft" to ensure it would work, which it did.  Now the darn thing just fails like this again!

DNS is functiong fine and the server has survived a number of restarts yesterday, No idea why it would just fail now!
