VIRTUAL LAB – PART 5 – vCenter Setup
So my VCSA is now up and running, I just need to go into vCenter and do some config
- Licenses
- Create Datacenter, add Hosts etc..
First thing to do is log in using URL structure: https:////vsphere-client
NOTE: If you just go to the IP of your vCenter it will give you options to use either HTML5 or Flash
I selected the Flash client which uses the URL above
VCSA (vCenter) Log Locations
Here are a few log files I found useful when deploying the VCSA (vCenter Appliance)
- /var/log/firstboot
- rpmInstall.json – A JSON formatted file containing status messages. Contains progress information, and error messages.
- cloudvm.log – Log messages created throughout the vCenter Server Appliance installation process.
- firstbootStatus.json – A JSON file containing the current status of the installation process.
VIRTUAL LAB – PART 4 – VCSA (vCenter) Setup in VMWare Workstation (Not Nested)
The first thing i’m going to do is add DNS entries for both ESXi Servers and the VCSA Im about to deploy. I added Forward and Reverse Entries for the VCSA
And check Name resolutions works with PING and NSLOOKUP
VCSA – Failed to execute, during Setup Wizard
When running through the Setup Wizard in the vCenter Server Appliance version 5.5
you receive:
Failed to execute ‘/usr/sbin/vpxd_servicecfg ‘db’ write’…..
This occurs for SSO and the Database Setup
Connect to the VCSA via Console and Stop the vmware.vpxd service
Once this is down – go back to the GUI and re-run the Setup Wizard
