I entered a value in a global custom attribute in the HTML5 client (6.7U3) . When I had to clear the value (not delete the custom attribute), the value would not clear. After deleting the text and clicking OK, the text would remain.
When I tried in the flash client everything worked as expected and my text was deleted without issue.
Can anyone reproduce this issue or is it just me?
We plan to deploy a new vCenter appliance as an initial step to executing embedded linked mode between the new appliance and the existing one.
This will be followed by moving some of the hosts with their VMs from the original vCenter to the new vCenter. Running VMs must not be impacted and VMs across the two vCenters are reachable to each other the same before they moved out.
still determining the approach to achieve this, the considered steps
Deploy new appliance
Join to existing SSO
Create identical VLAN/Port Groups in new vCenter
(This host which planned to be moved later to new vCenter)
Create a new empty host cluster in new vCenter
Evacuate target host and move it from source vCenter to new vCenter under new host cluster
Mount a new datastore to the moved host
SVmotion VMs to new datastore and moved host
Repeat the same for the second host.
Not sure if this plan is doable or missing pieces or order is not quite right, I am open to any idea or recommendations for achieving this task. Thanks
I have vcenter server 6 database on a standalone sql server and would like to move it to a sql cluster that has always on group. But could not find any documentation as to whether always on is supported or what needs to be done to migrate it. Since one will be a principal database and the other secondary (non-readable), how does sql server agent job play out in such scenario?
I have two Vcenters both are setup with HA so I have three VCSA running Primary Peer Witness
The are working fine.
I am unable to ssh into them
I am using Cygwin to ssh
I can ssh into the ESXI hosts with no problem
I keep getting
Permission denied, please try again.
I can logon using the web interface
SSH is enabled
Any ideas?
hi,
in order to monitor the VMs ans ESXi, vcenter uses the monitor port from every esxi and those ports form a vlan?
Hi!
I have VC 6.0 on windows server..
Today i reboot my VC,
Now the service starts, runs for a while, then goes into a panic.
In windows logs i see this:
The VMware VirtualCenter Server service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 4 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 60000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
In VPXD log i see this:

Any ideas on how to make VC work more stable?
I found this > Configure vCenter Server Appliance for SNMP v3
And now stuck at configure SNMP users when run "snmp.hash --auth_hash secret1 --priv_hash secret2"
I input plain text for <secret1> and <secret2>. This works when execute this in the shell of ESXi. But in the shell of vCSA. It shows
Error in method: Invalid path to secret file. The file must be a plain text
file containing the secret to use to generate hash. (code
com.vmware.applmgmt.err_snmp_bad_path)
The guide did mentioned the prerequisites include "store these passwords in files on the host system".
But what kinds of file (format) should I create? Input the plain text password in those 2 files? Where should I place those files in the "host system"?
Hello
Our customer has a vCenter server with the hostname 'vcenter'. I've upgraded to 6.7.0.42000 so that I can rename it, but the process (as outlined in Changing your vCenter Server's FQDN - VMware vSphere Blog)) produces the error:
"The SSO username does not have administrator privilege."
Obviously I've checked that administrator@vsphere.local is indeed an administrator and everything looks OK. I've tried to create another user, but this process only accepts administrator@vsphere.local.
Google draws a blank on that error.
Any ideas?
when I did a restored a virtual disk from veeam back software is restored a wrong virtual disk and replaced my shared date virtual disk on vmware vcenter 6.0
now my shared data virtual disk is missing, is there a way to recover?
my original virtual disk is not any more on the VM folder.
hi,
My VCSA 6.5 was running perfectly fine with one ESXI 6.5 host and created couple of instances but after rebooting unable to login with the correct password.
I cannot revoke my ESXi host license as it was activated in VCSA, kindly advice to recover my VCSA without loosing anything.
Appreciate your support
i have made below changes. i am able to start the VMware VirtualCenter Server service but unable to login with admin account.
I have just edit the vpxd.conf located in C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\
from
<sso>
<enabled>true</enabled>
to
<enabled>false</enabled>
other than VMware VirtualCenter Server service not able to start any vmware services.
below is the windows event log.
The vCenter Single Sign On service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 390 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 60000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
I was having issues with VCSA 6.7 (6.7.0.42000) due to /storage/seat filling up despite having 30 day retention policies for alarms and tasks.
The I noticed that /storage/seat/eventtblsp was taking up all that space (around 8 gigs) so I nuked it (rm -R) and rebooted the appliance. Now I am getting the same error I was getting before I nuked the directory, however before after rebooting it worked for a while:
Could not connect to one or more vCenter Server systems:https://SERVER-IP:443/sdk
vpxd.log shows complaints of unable to perform SQL queries by VDBStatement on file pg_tblspc. Obviously I nuked something I should not have.
Any way to rebuild the necessary databases? What are my other options? Right now I have a week old backup of the VC.
Thanks in advance,
~levi
Good Day,
I am using Vsphere 6.5upd1 and the same version on a Vcenter appliance. Is it OK to make a clone of the Vcenter server itself while it is running? I am doing this for backup purposes only. We are a small shop only 4 hosts and not running HA so things would be kind of quiet when I do this. But I do have concerns if the backup clone would work correctly if I ever needed it.
I have used the backup routine inside the appliance itself and that works fine. But if cloning it while running is OK it would make things easier.
Thank you,
HRM
Part of our qualification testing requires me to show that the appropriate levels of Syslog get from VCSA 6.7u2 to our Syslog server. The setting is "Warning" for logging options.
If I log into VCSA via SSH and issue "logger" commands I see logs getting to the Syslog server, but they don't seem to be reflecting the facility and severity levels I specify on the CLI.
If I do:
logger -p syslog.info "Test Info"
I see a log message appear in the Syslog server with facility code 1 and severity 5. I would expect severity 6. And how did this get past the filters for "Warning" logging options?
If I do:
logger -p syslog.emerg "Test Emerg"
I see a log message appear in the Syslog server with facility code 1 and severity 5 again! What happened to severity 0?
Am I doing something wrong? Or are my expectations miss placed as to what should happen?
How should I show deliberately and on demand that logs of the right level get through to the Syslog server and others do not?
Ideas much appreciated, thanks.
Hi,
Running VCSA 6.7.0.4
So I have run into a strange issue. I have recently changed my domain admin account password, and now it is being locked out every 15 or so minutes. Using a bunch of tools we have determined that VCSA is locking me out. The question is where would my credentials be stored?
Thanks
I keep getting the error that my session is not authenticated anymore and click ok, which then makes me sign back in. I have the default timeout set to 120 minutes, but this is kicking me out well before that time limit.
I don't see anything else that would be kicking me out prematurely and am scratching my head as to why it's even happening.
Hi everybody,
does anybody have the same issue?
The Backup Job for the vcsa is scheduled to start at 03.00 am (Europe/Berlin), but it starts at 04.00 am,
which seems to be a bug.
Trying with different vcsa's has the same result.
It would have made sense, if it started 02.00 am (UTC) but it seems to be a small bug in the scheduling parameter to ignore the configured time-zone and add it up after applying changes.
Best regards
My situation is 6.5 upgrade to 6.7u3

Hi!
I upgrade my VCSA to 6.5. after this upgrade console page on vm is not coming up
this page
please help me
Hi,
I had a look around in the document but it is unclear as to how should I configure alarm which should repeat.
Below I wish to repeat the alarm if the host is above 85% CPU usage for 5 minutes and it should repeat every 15 minutes. I do not see the option to make it repeat. Only in flash I see this.
Highly appreciate any pointers.
