Chapter 8 Consolidating the Datacenter Cause Some configurations of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 prevent Guided Consolidation from discovering LAN Manager Workgroups. The Link-layer discovery protocol (LLDP), introduced in Windows 2008 Server, is not backward compatible with LAN Manager-based protocols and can not discover machines with earlier operating systems if those systems do not have the appropriate drivers installed. Additionally, Guided Consolidation does not use LLDP to perform discovery and will not find systems that can only be discovered through that protocol, or when the Computer Browser Windows Service is not running. Solution Ensure that the Computer Browser Windows Service is enabled on the Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 system where Guided Consolidation is installed and that it is also enabled on all systems to be discovered. Alternatively, manually enter the static IP address of the system to be analyzed. Guided Consolidation Erroneously Reports Analysis Disabled Under some conditions, temporary network errors can disable analysis on multiple systems. Problem Temporary network errors can sometimes cause Guided Consolidation to stop analysis on one or more systems, even when the systems are reachable. Solution Right-click on the affected systems and select Resume Analysis. Disable Guided Consolidation You can disable Guided Consolidation. Procedure 1 On the Guided Consolidation host system, open the Services control panel. 2 Stop theVMware vCenter Management Webservices (applicable when Guided Consolidation and vCenter Server are not collocated), the VMware Collector for vCenter, and the VMware Provider for vCenter services. Uninstall Guided Consolidation Uninstall Guided Consolidation to completely remove the feature. All collected data is also removed. Procedure 1 Open the Add or Remove Programs control panel. 2 Remove vCenter Guided Consolidation for vCenter Server. All vCenter Guided Consolidation services are removed. CAUTION Do not uninstall the vCenter Collector Service alone. Doing so prevents Guided Consolidation from operating and will require that you perform a clean installation of Guided Consolidation, which will delete existing Guided Consolidation data.
