• Latest version VMWare VSphere ESXi announcement

  Hello, please forgive my lack of knowledge that I'm not an expert VMWare. I am looking for information on the announced Server latest OS for VMWare VSphere ESXi. I realize that the last version is VMWare VSphere ESXi version 5, but there was no announcement (not necessarily published) of the future releases past version 5. If so, I would be grateful for any information.

  Thank you

  Kind regards

  Gil Lee

  Not yet. vSphere 5.1 is the latest version, but he had published patches (a and b).

  VMware will announce information when they decide it's time for that so there nothing known yet outside on version 6 or whatever they'll call it.

• VMware vSphere - ESXi - cannot leave the console VM access?

  I'm under ESXi 4.1 on a server of Dell T110

  I connect to ESXi with vSphere

  vSphere is running within a VM in Windows 7

  The Windows 7 VM is running in VMware Fusion on my Mac OS X system

  When I'm in vSphere and I selected a virtual machine and I click on the tab console on some systems the VM console release me when I press control + keys command as it should.

  pfSense (FreeBSD), Ubuntu Server and Windows Server 2008 (before installing VMware tools) behave like that. I can't get out of their screen of the console. I must stop these VM out of their access to the VM consoles.

  Windows 7, Windows Server 2003, Ubuntu Desktop, etc, that all behave as I expect. When I press control + command keys I am released from the VM console and I am able to navigate in vSphere.

  After I install VMware Tools on Windows Server 2008 I don't have to press anything to be released from the VM console can I just move my mouse outside the console and interact with vSphere, which is what I expected.

  Shouldn't be able to leave the console VM using Ctrl + Cmde in any virtual computer if VMware Tools is installed?

  Anyone know what could be causing this device or a way around it?

  Thanks in advance.

  If the tools are installed as you have seen, you can safely move out of the console.  However, without tools, have you tried to release the cursor?

• VMWare vSphere v5.5 ESXi install errors

  Hello

  I'm trying to install VMWare vSphere, ESXi v5.5 on a machine that I've used as a Windows 2008 Server. Pretty well spec'd (core i5, 8 GB, 3.5 TB of space etc.), but it's just a generic machine with a motherboard micro ATX ASUS and so on. I use an external USB DVD drive.

  It support (or seems to load) GRUNB fails with an error of '22 '. When I changed the BIOS to AHCI settings error replaced by "Error 21".

  I tried to eliminate any problems:

  • Tested the drive and the USB on a core i3 laptop [AOK]
  • Checked hardware virtualization is enabled in the BIOS OF THE system [YES]
  • I tried vSphere 5.1 [SAME MISTAKES]

  Does anyone have ideas, what could cause this problem?

• VMware Vsphere Simulator 5.

  Hello

  My apologies if the question is redundant, but I just wanted to know if there is any Simulator available for VMWare Vsphere 5.

  I want something that I can install on my personal laptop running Ubuntu 12.04 with 3 GB of RAM or my laptop desktop running Win 7 and 4 GB of RAM.

  Intend to learn VMWare Vsphere/ESXi and improve my skills.

  A run than a search with "Simulator" in the forums and found on a single person had a similar question in the year 2011.

  It has been mentioned that you can install VMWare Workstation Trial Version etc., but can someone please direct me to a link where I can get more details?

  Hello

  There is no concept of a simulator, building a set of virtual machines to run the different components of vSphere (ESXi, vCenter Server, some 'shared storage') is the best approach, and you can run a whole environment on VMware Workstation in trial mode for 60 days.

  You will need more RAM if you want to run the bases on a single system - there is a post on my blog that has a useful info and excellent links: http://vmwaretraining.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/building-vsphere-home-lab-for-vcpvcap.html

• Qual a difference between vmware vsphere, vcenter, workstation?

  OLA pessoal,

  Nunca trabalhei e com VMWare estou com doubt no deferred than tools vsphere, vcenter, workstation.

  Preciso testar uma Solução virtualizacao. Vou rodar dentro Windows 10, where seja, NAO preciso UM hypervisor rodando no como Hyper-V server hardware.

  So one size rodando no Windows para testar Doi servidores com some specific management.

  Me cadastrei no site da VMWare para testar a versão trial, mas não sei qual software download.

  ATT, Fabio

  Para sua need you can use o VMware Workstation or VMware Player o.

  Sober as diferencas, o VMware Workstation e uma Solução virtualizacao type-2, or seja, roda em cima of some system operational, alem do VMware Workstation we have outros exemplos como o VirtualBox e o Microsoft VirtualPC antigo.

  JA o VMware vSphere, ESXi e uma Solução virtualizacao do Tipo-1, or seja, roda diretamente em cima material, e por isso some vezes e re-usable chamado, e alem vSphere, ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V and Citrix XenServer o o we have.

  Por ultimo, o VMware vCenter Server nada but as UM software para os servidores com VMware vSphere, ESXi gerencia.

• VSphere ESXi hypervisor free, re-usable clon server tests?

  Hello

  I tested VMWare vSphere, ESXi Hypervisor, the free program.

  I try to get tips motherboard I should buy to test the vSphere Hypervisor?

  I tested some form of Intel and Asus motherboard and Boot CD saysit cannot detect the network card. But in a Dell 2950 PowerEdge, it works very well.

  Another thing is that I read that in a motheboard with only SATA2 ports, the data store is detected as 'rare' and not 'local', so my final question is if vSphere is recommended only from servers brand or certification or if this could work in a re-usable/clon/DYI Server?

  Thank you very much

  Oliver

  Although the ESXi Hypervisor can run on office equipment - often only when equipped with an additional supported NIC - it's officially supported only on the server hardware that can be found in the VMware Compatibility Guide

• 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

  Dave

  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

• VMWare ESXi 4 or VMware vSphere 4 Essentials Bundle

  Hi all

  We are size medium no criticism of business when it come to the

  servers and COMPUTER service. We currently hold 10 physical servers in the future

  will be placed on the virtual environment. We already have VMware ESXi 4 running that

  who currently hold 3 VMs.

  We bought the very powerful server that can accommodate more than

  15 virtual machines.

  Specification of the server:

  2 physical processors with 6 hearts

  16 GB memory

  2 TB internal hard drive

  4 * a gigabit network card

  I'm not sure I should install VMware ESXi or pay a

  version of VMware vSphere. The new server will be critical such as servers

  Exchange, BES, Finance server. We do not want to spend more than £1000

  License of VMware. VMware vSphere 4 Essentials Bundle responds to our

  requirements and the budget. I was watching VCB guide and it is perhaps useful

  but it took a lot of configuration, SAN/NAS and extra money (agents of)

  third party software to backup).

  We have SIN, and it is connected to the network switch. Yes, I did

  trying to backup to NAS (70 GB) and it took about 6 hours using FOSS Veem.

  Should I go for free version or VMware vSphere 4 Essentials

  Bundle?

  Thank you

  > What benefits will I have more other free version VCB then?

  Well well with VCB, you can make full backups of you vms, but you can also use with free ESXi as GHettoVCB free tools.

  Also, look here for more information.

• 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

  Aaron

  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:

• 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

• Upgrade VMWare ESXi VMware vSphere Hypervisor 4.0.0

  Hello

  Is it possible to upgrade 398348 for the new VMware vSphere Hypervisor, the free version of VMWare ESXi 4.0.0?

  
  How would I go all upgrade without losing the virtual machines that are currently in the data store?

  VMware ESXi hypervisor and share binaries of same exact. It is only the license key that locks or unlocks various features. Then switch between editions is basically just replace the license key.

  Because the binaries are the same for all editions, for example the 4.1 version update procedure is the same too. Just follow the link DSTAVERTS the Guide to upgrade (search for vihostupdate).
