Similar Questions

• What exactly is in the VMware vSphere Essentials Kit

  Yes I looked on the page and there seems to be a lot of xyz, but no definitive list of what is in the kit of essestials or even the pro kit.

  Ideally, this as the backup software, but would be nice to know all inclusive.

  VBackup Thinware said he needs of VMware Consolidated Backup, but Google takes me to the page on this point and when I go to buy, send me info about versions of VM, but nothing in the Kits except data backup API - tis more confusing for a new user.

  Kits Essentials is a set of licenses. The kit includes the licenses processor vSphere and vCenter Server for Essentials for an environment of maximum 3 guests (up to 2 CPUs) and capacity maximum vRAM grouped 192 GB. Kits scalability limits Essentials are applied to the product and may not be extended except by upgrading the complete kit to a top-range package. Cannot be decoupled or combined with other editions of VMware vSphere Essentials Kits are stand-alone solutions

  1. You can download and run up to 3 ESXi 5 guests with 2 processors
  2. You can download vCenter server and run one instance of vCenter
  3. You can download VMware Data Recovery to be able to backup your virtual machines without affecting the performance of the virtual machine

  Hope this helps

• feature of vSphere API licensed on vSphere Essentials kit

  I have a few doubts about the level of licesement to apply to our laboratory. We do snapshots via API against our stand-alone ESXi, so we need the "vSphere API' active feature. Is this feature included on the license "vSphere Essentials kit '?

  Thank you.

• esxi free upgrade to VMware vSphere Essentials Kit

  Hi we are a small company with a new 1 and 1 old server sent us this question for the Department sales of vmware but have had no response.

  We have two questions we hope that someone has had a few experiences with.

  Currently we use free on our new server esxi5 if we buy VMware vSphere Essentials Kit

  1. is it just a matter of the conclusion of the license in the free version of esxi to give it functionality increase so there is not need to reinstall things?

  2 if we have VMware vSphere Essentials Kit it would allow us to use tools such as quest vRanger pro or Acronis vmProtect for backup and replication connection.

  It would be much cheaper than the use of VMware vSphere Essentials Kit pro and seems to do the same job.

  Thank you

  Welcome to the community!

  Is it just a matter of the conclusion of the license in the free version of esxi to give it functionality increase so there is not need to reinstall things?

  Yes enter vSphere Essentials Kit License keys will unlock the applicable for this Kit features, re - install ESXi will be not be held

  If we have VMware vSphere Essentials Kit it would allow us to use tools such as quest vRanger pro or Acronis vmProtect for backup and replication connection.

  vSphere Essentials Kit inclused vStorage APIs for Data Protection so you should be good to use the third-party data protection software

• VSphere API is available in VMware vSphere Essentials Kit?

  Hello

  TL; DR: I would like to know if the vSphere API is available in VMware vSphere Essentials Kit.

  We evaluated VMware vSphere to build an environment very small test & dev to work. Since vSphere worked well during our assessment, we will buy vSphere licenses.

  We only need to operate a single ESXi host and we don't much care our virtual machines because they are used for testing only. Thus, we don't need features such as vMotion.

  However, take us pictures and we depend on the vSphere API, because we use pyVmomi to administer our virtual machines.

  Because we only run an ESXi host, need for API vSphere vCenter but did not need features such as vMotion, I think that the Kit Essentials fits our needs. But I'm not sure it provides the vSphere API. If anyone can confirm?

  Kind regards

  Yes, vSphere API are available in the Essentials kit.

  Please see KB

• VMware vSphere 5 Essentials Kit for 3 guests (3 physical servers)

  Hello

  I currently use the number of servers with the free version of VMWare ESXi 5.

  So now I want to use more RAM and want to have more tools like backup tool, clone.

  I've been reading in vmware site but it makes me a bit of confusion.

  Can someone clarify this for me:

  1. what should I do after the 'VMware vSphere Essentials Kit' command that allows me to manage 3 physical servers, while I use "VMware vSphere Client" free edition?

  2 should I change or action with "VMware vSphere Hypervisor?

  3. the fee of $495 is a right to life or it's annual fee? The subscription is required for first year only, is that correct?

  4. "VMware vSphere Essentials Kit' supports up to 192 GB of RAM per physical server and max of 32 GB of RAM per VM?

  5. What is the difference with "VMware vSphere Standard" edition?

  It's a few links I've read:

  www.VMware.com/Products/vSphere/compare.html

  Store.VMware.com/Store/VMware/en_US/Home

  Store.VMware.com/Store/VMware/en_US/PD/ProductID.282883900 & src = WWW_eBIZ_productpage_Essentials_Buy_US

  www.VMware.com/ve/Products/vSphere/Pricing.html

  Thank you very much!

  Post edited by: a.p. fixed the title (in capital letters)

  1 + 2) Just enter the new license key. No need to reinstall the hosts or stop the virtual machines. In the oder to the Manager of all 3 hosts from the same management interface, you must configure vCenter Server, which is included in the Kit of Essentials.

  3.) after the initial purchase, it's your decision if you renew the subscription after the first year.

  4.) there have been a few changes since release of vSphere regulatory policy 5. With the release of vSphere 5.5 all material limitations (cores per CPU and RAM) have been removed (see http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere_pricing.pdf).

  5.) see page 6 in Licensing, Pricing and packaging white paper

• VMware vSphere Advanced Acceleration Kit

  How does VMware vSphere Acceleration Kit advanced work? How many guest support? I have two servers at once with 2 quad core processors. I would like to implement the two servers with a tolerance for vcenter and fault, then add a third server that is identical. This package will work for me?

  We currently have kits essentials in place on two other servers. The essential kit clearly states its for 3 guests (max 2 CPUs per host) and 6 cores per processor

  This package should work just fine, but we want tolerance fault for our new configuration. That's why I'm leaning towards VMware vSphere acceleration Kit Advanced.

  Thank you

  Joe

  As you have already mentioned, the Kits Essentials are limited to 3 guests. That's all.

  Acceleration Kits are reduced start-up kits which contain regular licenses. You can only buy 1 of these kits per location. The Advanced acceleration Kit includes vSphere Advanced 6 processors and vCenter Server Foundation. You can use the licenses processor you want, for example for the guests of CPU of 3 x 2 or 1 x 2 CPU + 1 x 4 CPU... If you need more guests and 3 then you can upgrade the License Server Foundation of vCenter to vCenter Server Standard and purchase additional processor licenses. See http://www.vmware.com/vmwarestore/buyvsphere-acceleration-kits.html

  As far as I know there are options to upgrade Essentials more to the acceleration of advanced kit. Ask your VMware reseller for more details.

• Versions of VMware vSphere

  What is the difference between "VMware vSphere Essentials Kit" and "VMware vSphere Standard" in terms of features?

  www.VMware.com/Products/vSphere/Pricing.html

  I'm looking for professional use in VMware.

  Thank you

  P2V is possible NFB free esxi edition, no problem. You can also manage via vsphere client where you'll have GUI and you create VMS with vsphere client that connects to the ESXi host.

  But it cannot be managed by vcenter to get the functionality as HA, DRS, vMotion, models etc.

  As you have mentioned that you have pretty much a box with VM sound your decision to go with free or licensed.

  If you go with free version of ESXi, you can have only 32 GB vRAM right. This means that if your physical machine have more than 32 GB of RAM can also create virtual machine with no more than 32 GB of RAM.

  If you decide to go for licenses of its better to choose more essential rather than vsphere standard edition.

  As essential or essential more is a group package which also come with 192 GB of vRAM, with a maximum power of 3 home with 2 processor and a vcenter license. Cost is lower than vsphere standard edition.

• VMWare vSphere 4 hypervisor ESXi 4.1 - can buy upgrade to 4.1 Patch 11 again?

  Hi guys

  I have a x 3650 M2 aging IBM server running the free version of vSphere 4 Hypervisor ESXi 4.1.0 260247.

  I'm looking to install esxi version 4.1 Patch11.

  I have a few questions:
  1. I am able to patch to version 4.1 Patch11 without having to re - build the host and re - import the virtual machine?

  2. I am able to buy the paid version of the Patch11 4.1 so I can get the support of VMware? If so where can I buy it.

  3. Alternatively if I can't buy Patch11 4.1 can I buy VMware vSphere Essentials Kit 5.5 version and update without having to re - build the host and re - import the virtual machine on top of the 4.1? My server is about 4 years, I am worried if she composed with 5.5?

  Kind regards

  1. I am able to patch to version 4.1 Patch11 without having to re - build the host and re - import the virtual machine?

  Yes, but a backup is always recommended.

  2. I am able to buy the paid version of the Patch11 4.1 so I can get the support of VMware? If so where can I buy it.

  You can download it for free here: https://www.vmware.com/patchmgr/findPatch.portal

  3. Alternatively if I can't buy Patch11 4.1 can I buy VMware vSphere Essentials Kit 5.5 version and update without having to re - build the host and re - import the virtual machine on top of the 4.1? My server is about 4 years, I am worried if she composed with 5.5?

  According to VMware HCL, your x 3650 M2 IBM server is compatible with the latest version of ESXi:

• VMware vSphere: install, configure, manage [V5.1] correct review and practice test

  Dear all,

  Here, I'm a bit confused so I need help to clarify which exam I have to take and what is the matter with this review. I took the course VMware vSphere: install, configure, manage [V5.1] and when I tried to register for the exam, he gave me the review "VCPD510: VMware Certified Professional-Desktop ' and when I tried to find some documents to study, I found two different materials, which relates to the VCP5-DT, which is all about VMware View: install, configure, manage [V5.x] and the other which is VCP - 510. While we should I study.

  Help, please.

  Hi mariusme,

  The review, you have to take is VCP5-VTC. VCPD510 is for desktop, which is entirely different. Please go to the vmware certification page and select VCP5-DCV(vmware certified professional in datacenter virtualization) and you will find the action plan. You can follow it, and since you've followed the required courses, you will be eligible to take the certification. And also sign up for VTC - VCP on Vmware Portal before you book review on PearsonVUE.

• Can I use VMware vSphere Hypervisor™ with vSphere Client?

  It's the question next poped upward.

  -Can I freely use for my business need VMware vSphere Hypervisor™, and what will be the difference with VMware vSphere Starter Kit?

  and

  -Can I use VMware vSphere Hypervisor™ with vSphere Client software for free?

  Yes - it is freely permitted, but he he has limits and lack of features compared to the vSphere Essentials kits. Another thing to note is the absence of vCenter Server to manage multiple ESXi hypervisors with the free version. The backup API are, in my opinion, one of the main obstacles to the use of this.

• Auto open when you click on VMware vSphere PowerCLI icon.

  Hello

  Quick question is there a configuration file or a way for me to have powershell cli automaticly "connect-viserver" when I open the icon "VMware vSphere PowerCLI.

  Thank you

  There are several ways to achieve this.

  The best way, in my humble opinion, is to add the Connect-VIServer cmdlet to a PowerShell profile files.

  Just add a line to the file. If you use an authorized account, you can do

  SE connect-VIServer-Server MyServer

  I suggest you use the profile of the current user, in this way that the Connect-VIServer will run only when you start PowerCLI
