• Error adding host vmware vCenter

  Hello

  I have the free version of VMware ESXi 5.1 installed. When I tried to add my host to vcenter 5.1 with the trial version I get the error message below. I can't use esxi 5.1 edition for free with the trial version of vcenter 5.1 is?

  "The host is licensed with VMware vSphere hypervisor 5. The edition of vCenter License Server does not support VMware vSphere hypervisor 5".

  Hi sbala,

  The free version of the hypervisor cannot be managed by vCenter.

  You must allow the hosts with at least ESXi Standard - the free version of the hypervisor can be managed with vCenter.

  Thank you

• Do need me a separate license for VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat for a remote SQL Server database?

  Do need me a separate license for VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat for a remote SQL Server database?

  Only a single vCenter Server Heartbeat license is necessary to protect the components of the vCenter Server installed remotely, including SQL Server. A single license is also used for several UNIQUE for vCenter Server services protected authentication servers. A license is required per instance of vCenter Server.

• Can of POS used with Vmware vCenter Server 5 Standard license

  Hello team,

  Accroding to http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2016565

  WTP is supplied with vSphere Essentials more and more.

  I searched but did not meet solid information where he explains when licensed some don't need us to buy additional licenses for new features / applications, etc.
  I'm new to Vmware licenses hierarchy. We have Vmware vCenter Server Standard 5 license.
  Please point me to a URL that contains the hierarchy of Vmware licenses .

  Thank you much in advance.

  You can use vCenter Server Standard 5 licenses for POS. Everything we have features such as (profile of HA, DRS, FT, VDP, host, DVS etc.) you don't need to worry about the virtual server license Center. You must use the correct license vsphere host. But don't forget to think about some virtual server edition Center can handle some vsphere hosts.

  vCenter server 5 Essentials can manage only vSphere Essentials Plus or vSphere Essentials.

  vCenter Server Standard 5 licensecan eat only vSphere vSphere Enterprise and vSphere companies plus standards.

  You can activate the functionality of POS with vSphere Essentials Plus then you will need to use vCenter server 5 Essentials.If you use vCenter server standard for vSphere Essentials Plus so it give error or warning for violation of editing.

  Thank you

• How to add an ESX host licensed to vCenter (vShpere4.1)

  Currently licensed for: 3 guests (Advanced vShpere 4)

  Ok.. so, I have vCenter upwards and in the course of execution, have created my 'cluster' with two hosts. I have an ESX host 3rd I was using mode "assessment" within 60 days.

  This 60-day period was close that expires so I moved and the 3rd license added to this 3rd host.

  I would now like to bring this host to vCenter, for my 'sandbox network' and not actually add it to the 'cluster' so that I can run everything a customer.

  Now, it is said that I am unable to bring this host to vCenter, as it says that I don't have a license.

  So, how can I go on the withdrawal of the license, or get this host (already licensed) in vCenter?

  Or do I have to start from scratch and reload this bare metal esx host to return to Mode Eval?

  Since it's vShpere, there is "No license server" by not telling.

  Licensing vCenter says that 'two' licenses during the third host is the 3rd license already.

  Any help appreciated.

  By the way... I have searched for hours on forums, web sites, etc., with no clear solution.

  Thank you

  Interesting,.

  of your screen grabs, it definitel; appears as if you have only 2 licenses - as stated above, however, if your license covers only 6 processors, you could have used the additional licenses on them.

  It is really worth to check that, and if it is not the case, get your hands on VMware and ask why the additional licesnse does not appear in your portal.

• I would like to download the license for Vcenter 5.5

  Hello:

  We recently purchased a new (HP DL380 Gen9) ESXi host and that host will work with Version 5.5 Update 2.  I was asked my our VMware consultant to connect to our VMware account and get the license for Vcenter 5.5 .  I can log on to the account; but, how to the license for Vcenter 5.5?

  Then the license "vCenter Server 5 Essentials" should be sufficient. You should be able to download vCenter 5.5 from here (but don't forget to take the update correct level: 5.5, 5.5 U1 or U2 5.5): VMware vSphere 5: Private Cloud Computing, server and data center virtualization

  And you should think about upgrading 5.1 hosts after that vCenter device is installed and configured.

• Cannot delet licenses on vCenter 6.0

  I installed vCenter 6.0 and some 6.0 ESXi hosts. I added licenses to all hosts. Then I changed on the ESXi host ip addresses without deleting inventory. Status of the host was "no answer." Then I removed them from the inventory, but all the lincences stay 'used' and I can't remove it.

  How can I remove the licenses used ?

  Thanks in advance

  Thanks everyone, I solved this problem.

  After 24 hours, it was always the same. All licenses was entitled, and I can't remove it.

  Maybe this will help someone.

  The web client, I go to licenses > licenses > assets > hosts. Here, I saw all my hosts removed with licenses. I have awarded licenses to evaluation mode and all 'UN-ssigned' licenses now.

• VMware vCenter living is no longer working with Acronis Backup Advanced, Help!

  Hello everyone, I hope this ad in the right area of im, I'm looking for some advice on what could be causing my question about integration using the byproducts, I am struggling to find something on the net that relates exactly to my problem so have resorted to forums to see if anyone has tips or ideas , like im fresh out of them now!

  • VMware Client & Server Version 5.5.0 - (VMware vCentre Server Build 1476327)
  • Acronis advanced backup (Version 11.5 - update 5)

  Since November the synchronization / VMware vCenter integration between the 2 products above seems to have stopped working correctly, which means that any change in the location of the VM machines in the VMware customer environment is not reflected in Acronis more.

  For example, when you move a virtual machine to a folder on a particular data center to another folder in the same Datacenter, this change should be so reflected in the Acronis, what is happening is no longer.

  In addition, when a virtual machine brand new is created in vSphere and is placed in the appropriate Center of data/file structure, this should (and working correctly until November) fill with Acronis 'vcentre' host Group that has the folder structure equivalent to pick up the plans for appropriate backup etc, but this happens is no longer, instead , the only way that you can see the new VM is under "all Virtual Machines.

  In addition, when removal of vSphere VM, also not being properly reflects Acronis more, when go in "All Virtual machines" these deleted machines are still show while intoxicated. But these machines no longer exist in vSphere, this shouldn't show Acronis more. Without doubt, this is connected to vCenter integration issues.

  Here are the steps I took to try to solve this problem

  • Disable/re-enabling integration with the server vCentre.
  • Restarting the Server Service on the management of Acronis Acronis license server
  • Reset all motors of unloading and the virtual machine.
  • Acronis and vCentre servers restarting.
  • A reconstruction complete the Acronis server and all subsequent config, etc. backup plans.

  After the last point (reconstruction of Acronis) integration has worked for a few days, then it stopped working again!

  If anyone has any ideas or possible causes, could you please let me know.

  Here are a few details of what was the root cause of the problem:

  Each VM in vSphere contains a list of parameters such as:

  InstanceUUID

  locationID

  guestFullName

  The problem arises because some of the virtual computers contains a copy of the values of these parameters (name, value). Thus, in order to update the database of AMS, we execute the SQL query with these settings, but when 2 or more of the virtual computers contains the same parameters, the SQL query fails > This is why the changes were not reflected and it was not possible to update the vCenter folder structure.

  The developer removed then duplicate values enable and disable the vCenter integration, by doing this it was able to resolve the problem.

• What is the use of Vmware vcenter device? and when it can be used? is it free?

  Hi guys - when can we see VMware vcenter device an option? Is it free?

  Is that it is contemporary with the linux version of VMware vcenter windows version with Sql express?

  When we use this? Why not to choose windows VMware Vcenter license version if it is available for free? (up to max. 5 hosts and VM 50 s for how long we can use this in our environment)

  Kind regards

  Abhishek Singh

  According to me, there's no difference between vCenter through windows & device licenses.

  You will get vCenter license (as a whole) and now its your choice to deploy vCenter either on windows or deploy the same form of appliance. Once deployed, you must apply the license.

  If you opt for the vCenter Foundation, you will get the same set of features you deploy the VC under windows or as an appliance. It is the same for the standard vCenter license. If you deploy on windows, you need windows license as well.

• Adding license

  I get the error message when adding license, attached page.

  Hi Sabugopi,

  Looks like you are using a key that is not a cable to work with feature HA or vMotion. Please involve the licensing team and get the right license key.

  You can consult the following KB if you want to continue with the downgraded license:

• VMware vCenter service stops with size of DB SQL errors

  Hello

  We run VMware vCenter 4.1 with 3 ESX hosts and VMs. 50 vCenter runs on Windows 2008 R2, SQL 2005 Express SP2.

  Yesterday, our virtual backup failed, saying: it could not connect to the vCenter agent. When I have looged question, it appeared that he had stopped the vCenter Server service. Upward on the continuation of the investigation, it appears that the SQL Express database had reached 4 GB in size, which is limited, and this caused the vCenter fall service.

  I checked some of the forum posts and have accomplished the following:

  • Define a retention policy of database for tasks and events, it is initially unchecked, but I checked and set it to 90 days in the beginning and now 30 days.
    
  • Found a script on the VMware forum called VCDB_table_cleanup_MSSQL_V4.X.sql that can clean the database. I put it to delete the old data (change of SET @DELETE_DATA = 1) 90 days and he kidnapped 130 000 + lines.
    
  • Performed a narrowing of the database & file shrink on the data file - I was only 9 MB back?
    
  • Performed a narrowing of the database & file shrink on the log file - it right back a little more, about 100 MB.
    
  • Changed the size of the log file of 460 MB to 1024 MB, in database properties > settings files.
    

  However, even after all of the above, when I reboot the server, or stop and start the service vCenter, the following errors are recorded in the application log:

  Ben

  Due to the size of the database, the query may take time. I suggest that you let run and just be patient.

  Another option is to upgrade to a version of SQL Server 2005/2008 'complete' (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/7960893), or - where this is an option for you - to migrate towards the currently experimentally supported (starting with vCenter Server 4.1 Update 1) version SQL Express 2008 which supports up to 10 GB per database. (see http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.pdf) Although there are 32 and 64 bit in compatibility matrix, it seems that there are currently problems with 64-bit (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1036085)

• VI3 - VMware vCenter Foundation of Vsphere 4

  Hi all

  I bought the VI3 with VMware vCenter Foundation, and now the infrastructure is ready for installation.  The server is compatible with vSphere 4 and I m thinking that it is better to install the vSphere 4.

  My question is: I have the license to use the VMware vCenter Foundation 3, what is the upgrade path to Vsphere 4? Where can I check if I have the right use vSphere VI3?

  Where can I check if I have the right use vSphere VI3?

  If your product is under SnS you have the new license code for vSphere.

  Check under License Web Portal to see if you have the new series.

• VMware vcenter server woes

  Hey guys,.

  I just installed vcenter server to centralize control of my various installations of vmware server. I have essentially 4 machines I want to follow - 3 all running the same debian installation and last version of vmware server (free). the 4th is a windows 2003 machine that runs the latest vmware server too.

  I installed vmware infrastructure without problem, no error. iStart it upward, add a data center. add my first host - a linux host. works very well. I add a second host - another host.as of linux, I am setting up I get the summary of correct host and it lists even the virtual machines that are on the machine. It ends, says being synchronized to the top and then I get the dreaded "host type is not supported, or added to a cluster, but does not support the features of clusters.

  strange. am I adding as a cluster? I don't think so... I add windows machine and he adds without any problem. a linux server that I managed to add shows no information to the title of memory/CPU usage of the virtual machines, it is all 0. therefore graphics of performance - no graphics.

  what the hell is happening?

  Interesting - to - http://www.vmware.com/products/server/faqs.html

  Can I manage VMware Server 2 output using a new or existing VMware vCenter Server version?

  No, VMware Server 2 can be managed by VMware vCenter Server 2.5.  There is no option of centralized management (stream) for VMware
