• ESXi 5/VMWare vSphere 5 tool Mgmt Essentials

  I got the upgrade of the v5 FREE ESXi from VMWare vSphere Essentials 5 hypervisor.  I'm looking for what we call the 'vCenter Management Console", which I'm supposed to have access with me purchase vSphere Essentials 5, to manage multiple servers within a single console ESXi and also have a GUI based ESXi management tool for updates to update my v5 ESXi servers.

  With the naming conventions wonderfully confusing of all the different productions of VMWare, I can't find anything with that name.  The closest element I can find reference only ESXi v4 and when I try to download, I gives me a warning that I am not allowed to download.

  Could someone shed some light on this topic for me so I can clarify what I'm looking for?  Still, it comes to a VMWare vSphere 5 Essential Kit that I just bought.

  Thank you

  Yes, you could use an Oracke VM or VM VMware running under VMplayer or in the essential of vSphere environment - or you can manage ESXi and the individual instances servers using the client installed on your workstation vSphere with them having to use vCenter -

  VCenter integration in an AD environment is not a requirement it just makes managing easier users/groups in a large environment - you can actually have the server part of a workgroup and use groups the and users on the access - default server administrators locala groups is given administrator access to the environment of vcenetr -.

  With regard to updating a ESXi host, you do not need VMware Update Manager, it can be done using the CLI - you can update with software esxcli 5.0 ESXi hosts vib commands discussed in vSphere upgrade documentation included in the documentation of vSphere set 5.0. You cannot run the command vihostupdate against a 5.0 ESXi host.

  If you are looking for to deploy individual hosts with likited resources that, I would suggest deploythe free version of ESXi - weak positive points cost disadvantages: you need to manage each host individually and will be capped on memory - which I believe is 32 GB

  With the essentials, it will be more expensive, but you know be able to manage several servers ESXi to a place more depending on your license, you will be able to take advantage of VMware HA allowsing your environment to recover from a failure of the host, VMware DRS, which will ensure the delivery of resources to VMS in times of conflict and can back up the virtual machine with them affecting the performance of the virtual machine or access

• Can I use VMware vSphere CLI to perform a post on esxi 3.5 and 4.0?

  Currently, we use a bash script (mainly vimsh and esxcfg-* command) to set up post on our server ESX (vSwitch, service), update, etc..  I found that it is not a RCLI for vSphere 4.0?  a RCLI be rename to just CLI?

  Secondly, what tools or version would work for ESXi3.5 and 4.0?  Do not write code twice

  And finally, is there any limitation on the CLI or RCLI that it cannot be done locally by esxcfg-# or the VI client

• Trying to Downoad free ESXi: Getting "VMware vSphere evaluation expired '.

  Hi all

  I have a little problem of license: I tried to download vSphere 4U1 (I especially need vSphere Windows 7 Client), but after the connection and try to download the free version, I get a on a web page that says 'VMware vSphere evaluation expired' and "Ready to buy?" tab.

  True, I had downloaded the vSphere 4 in early August and this 60-day evaluation period has expired a long time ago. But due to the problems with vDR (itself known and many negative entry in the list) I have not yet decided on the version of vSphere, I need to buy... a lot of money at stake

  So: Is there a limit on all the free data center products that a registered user can download for "free trial"? I have a few new servers available for tests and did not want to go through the installation of vSphere 4 + update to v4 U1, especially since the laptop management runs Windows 7, where - according to me - vSphere Client and update manager will not work without some pretty nasty sounding hacks.

  Thanks for your answers,

  Thomas

• 5 of VSphere and VMware vSphere Essentials Licensing

  I just the unit of vCenter installed and put my license keys in for VMware vSphere Essentials Bundle - (version 5.0) - license - 3 guests - up to 2 processors by host

  However, when I connect via vSphere client of web it says I have a key that expires in 60 days (the assessment key). I can't delete this key. I'll find myself unable to manage my VM with vSphere Web Client in 60 days?

  Man, this approval is confusing!

  

  Thank you!

  Post edited by: a.p. - in gray license keys!

  Looks like that you always use your evaluation key for your instance of vCenter instead of your purchased key.  If you click on the tab of systems vCenter server you should be able to pass the eval on a key your purchased key.  That should solve your problem.

• Question about VCB and VMWare vSphere 4 Essentials

  Hello

  We have 2 virtual servers: one with ESXi35 (that has VMWare infrastructure Client 2.5) and the other with ESXi4 (which a vSphere Client 4). There is an offer to purchase of VMWare vSphere 4 Essentials to half the regular price and I wanted to know if this product allows me to backup (and possibly restore) virtual machines using VCB scripts.

  Thank you very much

  Concerning

  Carlos Negroni

  From this link, http://store.vmware.com/store/vmware/en_US/DisplayProductDetailsPage/productID.126843700 , it includes VCB so the answer to your question is Yes.  I remember got an e-mail that VCB is now end of life so that it is no longer that probably not available in the next version of ESX.

• How to run mbralign on esxi with vsphere CLI

  I have a few virtual machines with disks misaligned, each of them can be found on ESXi, I also vSphere CLI installed on my laptop.

  Thus, it is possible to run mbralign using vSphere CLI, since there is no console on ESXi. If so, what would be the command.

  Not possible, vCLI aims for vSphere management regarding the host/vms/etc., that has nothing to do with running the tools custom within the classic ESX or ESXi. As far as I know, the mbralign is not supported on ESXi, if this is the case, it is most likely must be run within the Busybox unsupported console.

  Take a look to this blog post by Duncan about the alignment of the VM - http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2010/04/08/aligning-your-vms-virtual-harddisks/

• Can the ESXI 5.0 and Vmware View coexist on the same server blade

  Hi team, sorry for the basic question, but can I install the ESXI and Vmware View on the same server?

  Kind regards

  VMware view installs inside a server operating system and he can definitley be installed inside a server running on top of vSphere.

• Running the command using the vSphere CLI

  I installed the vSPhere CLI on my workstation but can't seem to execute commands.

  My ESX hosts are managed by a host vCenter.

  C:\Program VMware vSphere CLI\bin & gt; esxcli - 10.15.0.11 - user name of server localadmin - password XXXXXXX swiscsi add - n vmk0 d vmhba32

  Makes me:

  Connect to 10.15.0.11 failed: authorization to perform this operation was refused.

  You use an account that has permission to update the configuration of ESX host?  Of the error, it looks like a permission problem.

  In addition, your syntax can be disabled, try this:

  [VI Toolkit] C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin> .\esxcli.exe --serer esxi40-1.primp-industries.com --username root swiscsi nic add --nic vmk1 --adapter vmhba33
  Enter password:
  

  (it worked on our development configuration)
