vCenter 6.0 Error Connecting to Web Client and can not login to Vcenter Appliance.

$
0
0

I have a Single Server set up 1 Host with 4 Virtual Machines.

VMWare ESXi 6.0 v1 Essential

two Virtual Machines are Server 2012 R2

one Virtual Machine is Windows 8.1

And the last Virtual Machine is vCenter Appliance 6.0 v1

 

I found out that I can no longer get to the vCenter Web Client.

 

I get the following error in the browser when I do:

 

503 Service Unavailable (Failed to connect to endpoint: [N7Vmacore4Http16LocalServiceSpecE:0x7f4018066140] _serverNamespace = /vsphere-client _isRedirect = false _port = 9090)

 

I logged onto the Vsphere Client and went to the vCenter Appliance and went to login through the console to root. The Password would not work.

 

I have not logged in as root to the vCenter Appliance for a long time and I saw mention in looking that up as Password expires after 90 days?

 

So now I am stuck and not sure what next move is without loosing data.

 

What do I tackle first and how do I proceed?

 

I was starting to get ready to upgrade to VMWare ESXi 6.7 Essential.

 

A lot going on here and just not sure which direction to go. Thank You!

Blue screen 0x0000007B VM boot error with 64-bit Windows 2003

$

Blue screen 0x0000007B boot error with 64-bit Windows 2003 virtual machine converted from physical machine.

 

I am running VMWare Converter Starter Edition version 3.0.0 build-39557 installed on a Dell PowerEdge 2950 (a couple of months old) running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 R2 (version 5.2.3790, SP1 with all the latest updates). The server has SCSI RAID drives (2 separate arrays for a physical C: and D: drive).

 

The physical machine is a new clean installation of 64-bit Windows Server 2003 with no other software installed except for VMWare Server and Converter.

 

I am attempting to create a virtual machine from this machine to run in VMWare Server (version 1.0.1 build-29996) on the same physical machine. The conversion appears to succeed, but when I attempt to start the new virtual machine, it begins to boot, displays the Windows 2003 startup screen briefly, and then fails with a blue screen with the following error:

STOP: 0x0000007B (0xFFFFFADFD520F3C0, 0xFFFFFFFFC0000034, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000)

 

I understand the "0x0000007B" means that it can't access the boot device for some reason. I have searched these forums and the knowledge base, but haven't found a solution to this problem.

 

I have been able to successfully convert and boot a 32-bit Windows Server 2003 physical machine as a virtual machine running in this same VMWare Server. I don't have any other 64-bit machines to test this with.

 

I am logged in directly to the console of the physical machine with the administrator account. I enabled virtualization in the BIOS. I have tried various combinations when building the virtual machine (customizing or not, fixed or variable disk sizes, importing both C: and D: drives or importing only the C: drive, etc). I have the SYSPREP files from the x64 installation disks locally on the server, and I have run SETUPMGR in this folder to create a SYSPREP.INF file. All of these various attempts have failed with the same boot error.

 

Is it possible to build a 64-bit virtual machine using VMWare Converter Starter Edition? Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

repetitive events - USB configuration has changed on host

Hello,

I receive this message every second in the event log: USB configuration has changed on host.
I unplugged all usb devices on my hosts but that does not solve my problem.
I have 3 hosts in my cluster.at first, the event was associated with the host 2. "USB configuration has changed on esx2".I put it in maintenance mode and this time I had the same message but it was associated with the host 3: USB configuration has changed on esx3.

Do you have an idea of where this problem comes from?this can be caused by a vm trying to use the usb port of the host on which it is rolling.

thank you,

Hi there,

 

I have a VMware cluster and wanted to  connect to a ISCSI network connected to an aruba 2920 24 ports switch left 2 ports which is the last 2 ports (which are sharing with sfp) to use, I plugged in the network cable to port 23 and the vcenter could not pick up the observed range of IP address, and same goes to port 24, however when I plug the cable to another port to test, I managed to get the observed IP range in just few seconds, I check in the switch, there is no VLAN configured, anything that I can change to make it work?

remove cluster from data center

$

Hello, Expert,

 

we built a cluster and add two  host into the cluster.

unfortunately, we have no required hearbeat datastores for host

The number of heartbeat datastores for host is 1, which is less than required: 2"

 

so I like to remove the two hosts to original path. (move back to data center,). how can do this? The procedure is correct?

01. disable all feature of cluster.

02. move host out of the cluster

 

I see system give information cluster setup remembered, I wonder if i delete the cluster, all setup on VM/host will be removed?

vmware converter hung at 98% converting rh7.6 v2v

$

I have a Redhat 7.6 on Rhel.  I am trying to convert the machine to vmware using the 6.2.0 version of vmware converter.  I have done this repeatedly with little problems when the OS is 7.5 5 months ago. 

Here are the steps that I do prior to starting the conversion...

1.  Make sure root login is enabled via ssh

2.  Make sure connection between the windows machine running the vmware converter, the vmware cluster tp be hosting the newly converted machine and the original rhel based redhat machine is good.

3.  Make sure all unnecessary processes running on the machine have been stopped.

4.  Make sure /var/tmp is unmounted

5.  Make sure no processes are using /tmp

6.  Remount /tmp as executable (mount -o remount,exec /tmp)

 

Start up the converter, set ip options, along with helper ip.

The converter chugs along till it gets to 98%, and the last message in Task Progess is "Creating initial ramdisk".

The task times out giving an error of

 

"SysCommandWrapper: Error encountered in SysCommand: SysCommand failed to wait /usr/lib/vmware-converter/chrootAndExec.sh to terminate"

 

I seem to have no problems with any 7.5 machine, but this happens on all the 7.6 machines that I have tried.

I have searched the error log file and google for anyone else having this error with 7.6 with no luck.

 

Any comments or hints of action would be helpful.  If I am posting in the wrong place, let me know the proper place to ask my question.

 

TIA

vcentre 5.5 to 6.0 migration error

Hi all.

 

I just inherited this vcenter 5.5 system and am tasked to get it 6.0 (going from Windows server to VCSA appliance).  I've started with the convenient U2M package and have the Migration Assistant running on the existing server, and when I run the actual migration tool, I get stuck on step 6 where I select the appliance size.  It comes up with an error 'Error in populating profiles' and won't let me select the appliance size.  I can't seem to find where the log files are that will help me on this, or a good answer from searching on how to get past that error.  Any ideas ?

vCenter upgrades, and vCenter lifecycle blog

I was just reading this blog.

 

Decoding the vCenter Server Lifecycle: Update and Versioning Explained - VMware vSphere Blog

 

It is coincidental, because I will be starting to upgrade to v6.5 U3 this week. Our vCenters are currently in ELM with 4 PSCs. We are mixed at v6.5 U1 and v6.5U2.

 

So it seems reading this I have to upgrade the v6.5 U1 to U2 first, and then apply the last U2 patch. And then upgrade to U3? And the v6.5U2 I need to patch the last U2 patch and then apply U3?

 

I could have sworn I have not done this before and jumped around in earlier releases. Thank you.
