Vmware vCenter运营管理 无需安装DRS群集

vCenter运营管理中心5.0是一个强大的工具，用于监视vSphere环境。

但是，正如writtent在以前的帖子，该软件使用的vApp（有两个虚拟机）distribuited这意味着你需要DRS，如果你将它部署在集群。请注意，如果您部署一个独立的ESXi主机上它不需要DRS。

因此，如何与比企业版的vSphere版本较低的部署此vApp？

Officially there isnt’s a strict requirement of a specific edition, so you can play to use it also on Essential, Essential+ or Standard edition of vSphere.

In this case, the deplotyment is a little more complicated and is documented in the KB 2013695 (Deploying vCenter Operations Manager 5.0 with vSphere Essentials, Essentials Plus, or Standard):

1. Remove one of the ESXi hosts from the cluster so that it is in standalone mode.
2. On that ESXi host, deploy the vCenter Operations Manager vApp, specifying static IP addresses.
   Note: Static IP addresses are required.
3. Move the ESXi host with vCenter Operations back into the cluster.

Warning: This step destroys the vApp. An error displays. Disregard the error message and continue moving the host into the cluster.

Moving the ESXi host with the vCenter Operations vApp back into the cluster results in the addition of the two virtual machines (the UI virtual machine and the Analytics virtual machine) to the cluster, without the vApp container. vCenter Operations Manager 5.0 continues to function normally when this happens.

Note: If you want to change the IP address of the virtual machines in future, run repair in the UI virtual machine becaue the vApp structure no longer exists in vCenter Server.

Because the vApp structure no longer exists, you must manually handle the correct boot and shutdown sequence:

• Power on sequence: first power on the Analytics virtual machine, wait for 10 minutes, and then power on the UI virtual machine.
• Shutdown sequence: you must power off the UI virtual machine, wait for 10 minutes, and then power off the Analytics virtual machine.

Note: For vSphere Essentials, you must deploy the vApp on a standalone host.
