Vmware Certificate renew and Hostname or IP has changed Regenerating the self signed certificates

Vmware Certificate renew and Hostname or IP has changed Regenerating the self signed certificates


I was not able to connect to vCenter Server Appliance, so I restarted it.

 After that it showed that it will be renewed ssl certificates because VCSA wasnït restarted for a long period (more than one year in this case).

Later in console I got stuck on:

Hostname or IP has changed. Regenerating the self-signed certificates.
Starting VMware vPostgres: ok
Waiting for the embedded database to start up: .[OK]

Issue was solved using this article:

VMware Workstation v9 0 2 1031769 Full With Keygen

VMware Workstation v9 0 2 1031769 Full With Keygen



Description:
VMware Workstation is a hypervisor that runs on computers; it enables users to set up multiple virtual machines(VMs) and use them simultaneously along with the actual machine. Each virtual machine can execute its own operating system, such as Microsoft Windows, Linux or BSD variants. As such, VMware Workstation allows one physical machine to run multiple operating systems simultaneously. Workstation is developed and sold by VMware, Inc., a division of EMC Corporation.


New added Features in vmw 9:
  • VMware Workstation 9.0 promises, as do most new releases of the product, to support ever more powerful virtual machines. The list of improvements include:
  • Faster startup performance ? though, by how much I dont know. Personally, I have not had an issue with the VM startup times under Workstation 8. My unencrypted VMs boot nearly instantaneously on my desktop, so I do not really know how much additional performance there is to get.
  • Intel? Ivy Bridge compatibility ? this sounds nice, but really, am I going to have to update to Workstation 9.0 to get this? I have a desktop with a motherboard that can support an Ivy Bridge processor (I currently have a Sandy Bridge series in it), and I purchased it with the intention of updating once the Ivy Bridge series were out and widely available. But, if updating the processor would force me to upgrade Workstation in order to achieve compatibility, both can wait ? my development desktop is peppy enough for now.
  • USB 3.0 support for Windows 8 virtual machines ? great, but do I get USB 3.0 support in my other VMs? Well, it depends. Workstation 9 supports attaching USB 3.0 devices to Windows 8 virtual machines. The latest portable devices use USB 3 (SuperSpeed) to achieve faster transfer rates for data. USB 3.0 devices such as portable storage devices and video equipment can be connected directly to Windows 8 and Linux virtual machines that contain in-box drivers USB 3.0 controllers. So, aside from those situations, the answer is apparently: no. So, this features usefulness will depend on your environment.
  • support for OpenGL 2.1 on Linux and improved 3D graphics performance ? OK, this one sounds at least moderately interesting to me. I use VariCAD for some 3D product design and idea development, and it would be nice if the already-peppy product ran even faster in VMs. There is mention of an improved Windows XP graphics driver and fundamental changes to improve performance and enable more advanced graphics capabilities in the future, each of which sounds nice.
  • Remote desktop type capability via "WSX" ? although I personally have no need to access my VMs from my phone or whatever, VMware seems to think this is a big deal. They included a new Web interface called WSX that allows access to virtual machines running in Workstation or on VMware vSphere© from tablets, smart phones, laptops or desktop PCs. They claim to do this through a new high performance, Web-based interface that delivers a native desktop experience and does not require flash or browser-based plug-ins. Again, nothing I care about. And, from their release notes page, comes the following quote of concern: "WSX is currently not supported for production environments" ? interesting... even as this is a highlighted key-feature of the release that I am supposed to pay for?
  • Some of the reason for this not-production-ready situation has to do with device and browser support:
  • This feature requires a very modern browser that supports HTML5 with WebSockets. VMware recommends using the Google Chrome 17 browser on PCs and the Apple Safari 5 browser on Mac OS hosts and iPads. Currently there are issues using this feature with Microsoft Internet Explorer 10. WSX may work with other browsers and on Android tablets running Ice Cream Sandwich with the latest version of Google Chrome installed, but more testing is required.
  • Restricted Virtual Machines ? finally, a feature I can see value in! Per VMwares release announcement: "IT administrators and instructors can create virtual machines and configure them to prevent employees or students from dragging and dropping files between virtual and physical desktops, attaching devices, or tampering with the virtual machine settings. Once restrictions are configured, the virtual machines can be encrypted and distributed to run on Mac, Windows, or Linux PCs with VMware Fusion© 5 Professional, Workstation 9, or VMware Player? 5."
  • This restricted VM functionality only works on the most recent versions of the VMware products, and it is really the only "killer feature" (from my perspective) that would make me consider the upgrade. Being able to configure a virtual machine with one password to launch it and another password to change its settings should allow administrators to distribute VMs to users with much less concern that they will wreak havoc on the VM after it is deployed.
  • Downloading Virtual Machines from vSphere ? OK, this would be my second feature worth considering WS9 for: Workstation 8 enabled customers to (only) upload virtual machines to vSphere, and now Workstation 9 enables downloading virtual machines from vSphere by dragging them from the remote host to the My Computer section of the Virtual Machine Library. Although nice, I can not help thinking that this should have been an 8.1 (i.e., free update) feature.
  • Disk Cleanup ? this feature sounds good to me, as I currently rely on the standalone VMware Converter product to recover / shrink unused disk space. WS9 includes a new management option to easily recover disk space, and I need to play with it and compare to the capabilities of Converter. It sure would be nice to simplify this all-too-often requirement.
  • Some other miscellaneous features worth noting ? views of your virtual machine on the task bar now include controls to change the power state; "quick switch" is back and hosts tabs have been included in the full screen toolbar; nested virtualization improvements allow users to run ESX as a guest OS and run a 64-bit operating system nested in ESX using less system resources.
Discover the true power and flexibility of your desktop or laptop computer with VMware Workstation. Reduce hardware costs by 50% or more by running multiple operating systems simultaneously on a single physical PC. Automate and streamline tasks to save time and improve productivity.

Note:The keygen shows a large amount of false-positives.

Veeam and Vmware 6 x CBT problems

Veeam and Vmware 6 x CBT problems


VMware 6.0 has a bug with CBT (http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2136854) and VMware has released patch that fixes this bug.

However, installation of this fix is not the only action that should be performed to get consistent backups with Veeam or any other backup software. 


CBT reset is mandatory for the VMs, and you could do it with help of Powershell script provided by this KB article: http://veeam.com/kb1492

If you do not want to install the patch, CBT should be disabled to avoid any possible issues.

For the Veeam upgrade to version 8 update 3 - it is highly advisable not only in terms of compatibility, but also ij terms of number of varuios fixes and improvements, coming with the upgrade.


We had no issue with disabling CBT other then increased time needed for the backups, therefore I confirm that performance is the only one thing affected with CBT disabled.

Vmware VMS and Templates

Vmware VMS and Templates


A VMware template (also called a golden image) is a perfect, model copy of a virtual machine (VM) from which an administrator can clone, convert or deploy more virtual machines. 

A VMware template includes the virtual machines virtual disks and settings from its .vmx configuration file, managed with permissions. Templates save time and avoid errors when configuring settings and other choices to create new Windows or Linux server VMs. They can also be used as long-term in-place backups of VMs, and to ensure consistent VMs are created and deployed across a company. A VMware template cannot be operated without reverting it to a virtual machine (VM).

Here is original Vmware 5 article on this argument but you can easily find tons of articles on this argument:

https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp#com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc_50/GUID-9062F225-E01B-42BA-8AFB-8EA4069068FE.html

Vmware Vmware Converter utility and consideration

Vmware Vmware Converter utility and consideration


VMware© vCenter Converter Standalone is a product to convert virtual and physical machines to VMware virtual machines. 

This tool give you the ability to convert remote client/Server too and executing post migration task (like disk resize, network changes and so on )

here they are official documentation and Vmware Converter download link:

https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/evalcenter?p=converter&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1004588

VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Users Guide

https://www.vmware.com/go/converter-user-guide

VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Documentation

https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/converter_pubs.html

With this article I wouuld like to focalize on some il limitation and best practices that are well explained here:

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1004588

  1. If the source is a domain controller, special considerations must be made. VMware does not recommend virtualizing an active domain controller with Converter. For more information, see Virtualizing existing domain controllers (1006996).
  2. If the source is Microsoft Exchange, SQL, or other database server, VMware recommends that the application (Microsoft Exchange/SQL) and database services be shut down prior to conversion. This minimizes any chance of corrupted database tables or stale data in the destination virtual machine.
  3. Disable the real-time antivirus scanning during the conversion.
  4. Read the VMware Converter Release Notes. The release notes review important limitations or issues that may affect the conversion process.
  5. Verify that you are using or have downloaded the latest version of VMware Converter. ........
    ...
  6. If the NIC on the source machine is compatible with TOE (TCP Offload Engine), you need to disable it by running this command in a command prompt on the source machine:

    netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled  
    For additional information, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 951037.

    Note: The preceding link was correct as of November 21, 2014. If you find the link is broken, provide feedback and a VMware employee will update the link.
