VMware KB: Setting up VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager with Partner Storage Arrays

Erstellt von Adam Fleischmann am 3. September 2010

  • On the SRA package that you =download from VMware after uncompressing it.
  • Inside the SRA installation directory (by default, C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager\scripts\SAN\<Your SRA>\)
  • Your storage array vendor’s website

Note: The SRA packages are sometimes available on the Vendor’s website but you should always download it from the VMware SRM download page. The SRA is developed by the HW vendor, but the packages on VMware’s site are the latest ones that have passed VMware certification.

VMware: Sysprep file locations and versions

Erstellt von Adam Fleischmann am 30. August 2010

  • When attempting to customize the deployment of a virtual machine, the radio buttons are disabled (grayed out)

  • When a virtual machine is deployed from a template, the SID is always the same, despite the fact that you chose the option to generate a new SID during template deployment and guest operating system customization

  • When attempting to create a new virtual machine from a template in ESX 3.5, you see the error:
    Warning: Windows customization resources were not found on this server

  • In the guestcust.log file, you see the error:

    deploy doesn’t contain known sysprep files

  • When you ignore the errors, the virtual machine deployment does not get customized

and here the file locations:

  • If vCenter Server is installed on Windows Server 2008, <directory_path> is%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\sysprep which translates toC:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\sysprep by default.

  • If vCenter Server is installed on any other Windows operating system, <directory_path> is%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware VirtualCenter\sysprep\ which translates toC:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\sysprep\ by default.
