• The upgrade to vCenter Server Foundation to the standard

  I'm running vCenter Server Foundation and have reached the limit of 3 host. I bought the upgrade of Foundation to the standard, but I'm just curious as to what the upgrade process that is my license, so no downtime / a reconfiguration is required. Sorry if this has been answered many, I want just to get an idea of what I have to do once our license arrives.

  Thank you!

  Simply place the .lic file in the folder of licenses from the license server.  Launch of LM, then click Reread License File and it will go look for him.

  You don't need to replace the existing one that is there, just put another one there and it will merge the two files in the License Manager.

• VMotion of vcenter server

  Hola a todos...

  Queria preguntaros por el procedure... is that no tengo claro training...

  Tengo una instalacion con esxi 5.0. con virtualizado of vCenter. El esta compuesto por different networking switches distributed. El caso are Necesito UN mover el vcenter United Nations don't cluster nuevo as no tiene compatividad CVS por lo no puedo mover Máquina en caliente... what prodecimiento should seguir para mover el vCenter al nuevo cluster?

  Gracias por todo

  Saludos.

  Hola,

  Claro are realmente las back options son buenas las back first, lo suyo are the first that are only guaranteed going to you a poder hacer lo dedicate sin problema y What're realmente're Pena TR utilizamos los rocking distributed. A falta del vCenter segunda if Heartbeats are una opcion not solo as el tema no esta in tener mas tarjetas para add a los estándar sino en migrar hacía todo, Máquinas Office ago switches y tarjetas physical.

  Cuando migra is a distributed switches lo suyo're keep the structure of standard por switches if any the we need of nuevo in algun momento. If conservamos, a caso como el tuyo what hariamos con una minima servicio lost are migrarlo nuevo todo a los rocking estándar para leave como lo antes migrar a los rocking distributed only. UNA vez esta todo con los estándar puedes realize las operaciones necessary con el vCenter y una vez a terminado vuelves a perform the physical cards Migración y Máquinas Office a los switches distributed. Been hay than planificarlo adecuadamente para realize the Migración of forma over-tightened, con minimum lost of servicio y no perder el the Red of management in any momento y tener siempre cierta unit, para ello lo mas seria por dar unit start spending has the Red of management con los rocking estándar antes touch nada in los distributed TR absolutamente todo lo tienes Los distributed. Think it una buena practica keep siempre con unit management red con switches estándar para siempre available tenerla in aunque is caiga el vCenter.

  Respecto del procedure ten in a hotel than en cierto tipo Medio Ambiente, sober large las todo y con mas passes distributed el vCenter very crítico y hay than garantizar una 24 x 7 availability is often operaciones no should be necessary, only plots the propia should doing una Máquina fallos o parada del vCenter. In any case alguna vez no estara in available there para esos casos tenemos las comentadas options back.

• Compatibility of VMware vCenter Server 4 Foundation to vSphere with ESX 3 Standard VI

  We are already use VMware ESX Server 3.5 VI.

  Our intention is to buy VMware vCenter Server 4 Foundation for vSphere addition VI ESX 3.5 Server running on a separate server. Our concern is;

  1. is VMware vCenter Server 4 Foundation for backward compatible product vSphere with VMware ESX Server 3.5?

  2 If no, then is it a similar product of VMware, which is compatible with VMware ESX Server 3.5?

  Please notify.

  VMware vCenter Server Foundation 4.0 can handle up to 3 vSphere or legacy hosts.  If you need to manage more than 3 guests, you should definitely consider vCenter Server Standard edition.

• vCenter Server (version 4) pricing and license

  Hello

  I am preparing a quote for two vSphere ESX v4 and a vCenter server.

  We need to VMotion and Drs So I think we need at least Enterprise edition (or higher) on the ESX section.

  As for vCenter, I was wondering if I can use vCenter Server for Essentials ($995) bundle, or do I have to get vCenter Server Foundation ($1495)?

  If I go with Essentials, I get the standard edition of ESX and vCenter Server at a lower cost than vCenter Server Foundation.  Allows to manage vCenter in Essentials Enterprise edition ESX?

  Opportunities for savings are welcome.  Thank you.

  Kong

  Kong Hi!

  1 vCenter Essentials server cannot do VMotion or DRS.

  Yes.

  2 vCenter Foundation can do VMotion and DRS (the difference between the Foundation and regular is the limitation of 3 ESX host).

  Yes.

  3. If the 3rd ESX is necessary on the road, is "accélération Kit" might be cheaper.

  There is no Enterprise Acceleration Kit, only Enterprise Plus, compare quotes for EntPlus Kit vs 3 Ent + vCenter

• vCops on another server vCenter Server

  Hello

  It is possible and feasible too running on another server vCenter Server Foundation vCops and point it to one you want to listen to? We have vCenter servers in our environment, but I want to follow the one who is widely used, but want to install vCops on the environment of vCenter which use less. This is a possible solution and environments are connected over a WAN via Tunnel PTP.

  Hello

  In my view, there no problem on the vCops tip to an another vCenter. Just make sure on the network connectivity and vCenter should be accessible via the network.

  Also you can read the document deployment vCops on this topic.

• VCenter Server virtual to the different host

  I have a little a conundrum.  I forgot to set up a cluster in Vcenter before creating my virtual servers, including my Vcenter Server virtual machine.

  What I do is move my Vcenter server to a host (not in the cluster) to another computer (host in the cluster).  I am sure that if I try to use VMotion to do weird things since using Vmotion the VCenter Server virtual I lose the connection with Vcenter for the transfer and the operation fails.

  I think I should stop Vcenter and then remove it manually from one host and importing it into another host in the cluster, but I don't know how to do this.

  What is the best (and safest) way to Edifier?

  Jim

  No vmotion will work as long as the hosts are configured approriately and are part of the same data - center

• Process of upgrading 3.5 host with vCenter server Virtual

  Hi I have recently updated my old server from client to vCenter 4.1 virtualized VI, sitting on my 3.5 cluster.  I intend to use the Update Manager to upgrade my guests, but I don't know how the virtual vCenter server is going to face?  The plan was: 1. move all the virtual machines off-host 1.  2 put the host in maintenance mode 1. 3. on the vCenter server, create a base, then line at host level 1 to 4.1. 4. now - at this point add this host in the cluster? And migrate the server vCenter top, so I can upgrade the other two hosts?  If the works above, then it should be quite a nice update, if you cannot add the new version of the host of back in, how you vMotion the vCenter server off so you can keep control of the cluster.

  IMO, it should work. To upgrade from 3.5 to 4.1, your ESX host must be in 5 update (see http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_upgrade_guide.pdf) already.

  If VMotion or migrate the server vCenter Server - for some reason-does not work, you can delete vCenter Server of the inventory of the old host and add to the inventory of the new host.

• (3) maximum number of hosts allowed for this edition of vCenter Server has been reached.

  The following error message appears in my events of vCenter server every minute or so:

  "(3) maximum number of hosts allowed for this edition of vCenter Server has been reached.

  I have a license of vCenter Server Foundation (4.0) with three hosts. I am aware that this license only supports three hosts. Why vCenter should log an error every minute to tell me that? Can I have it also ignored it clutter visually the events list?

  And to meet me once again, VMware has just contacted me and he was recorded as a bug and will be fixed in update 1 when coming out.

• Can I use Lab Manager with VirtualCenter Server Foundation

  Hi, now I'm choosing the license type for my gateway.

  Regarding now I can't manage through Virtual Center more than 3 knots.

  But I have a question. Can I use VirtualCenter Server Foundation License with VMware Lab Manager 3.0?

  You can use vCenter Server Foundation with PF3. We currently have 3 standard ESX licenses and a vCenter Server Foundation and it works very well. The only limitation is that you cannot manage more than 3 guests, but in your case it does not appear that it will be a problem.

• Is vMotion road data via the server vCenter Server?

  Hello

  I need help to solve a query I have.

  We currently have a vCenter server that manages certain clusters, but also some stand-alone hosts with local storage (not shared). Stand-alone hosts are physically located on remote sites. Some sites have more than one of these stand-alone hosts. We have an obligation to move a VM to a standalone host guest to another independent host on the same remote site.

  As there is no shared storage the VM should be stopped before trying the vMotion.

  The virtual machine in question has a 4 TB thick VMDK accrued that is migrated between the physical host computers.

  I think when the vMotion is launched the data will be limited to the subnet that the two physical hosts are connected and therefore use the bandwidth available via local network equipment and will not let the physical site. My colleague suggested, however, that data travels through the vCenter server. Of course, this would cause a problem to try to move the data so much and would effectively mean that this 4TB would leave travel via the vCenter server, remote site, then return to the remote site. Not only this would be very slow, it could also have a negative impact on bandwidth to and from the site.

  So my question is who is correct? (Assuming that one of us is!)

  Thank you

  When you start migrating cold from a virtual computer by selecting migrate both (host and storage) where your hosts are based in the same place, it will happen with esxi source and target host, it will not go all the way to your host to vCenter.

  If your environment is vSphere client of web use 5.1 or higher, and you can move VM while it is powered on and residing in the local storage of the host. This feature is called Cross-host migration. available only by using the web client.

• vCenter Server 5 added hosts after short time of State "not responding".

  Hello

  I did a test of the configuration with ESX5 a vCenter Server 5 device.

  I could add a host, but after a short period of time (a few minutes) host all become the status "not responding".

  restarting the management agents fix for a short period only.
