assessment of vSphere/vCenter with ESXi license error

I downloaded vCenter assessment and ESXi 4 software.  I installed ESXi 4 on several different physical servers and configuration of the virtual computer on each of these hosts.  Also made free licenses on those hosts.  Then I installed vCenter assessment with a 90 day trial license.  But when I try to add the ESXi host to vCenter console, I get an error license not available to perform the operation.  How can I get past this so I can continue my assessment of this system?  Thank you.

I think that the reason why you can not return to the eval license is because you have ESXi installed for more than 60 days.  Thus, the period of time eval has expired.  I just confirmed that I can return on a new install of ESXi, return to eval mode, while on a more-than-60 days ESXi host, I can't return to eval mode.

Therefore, you need to reinstall in order to get a 60 day trial 'new' period of time, or buy a license with the desired features.

  • 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?

  • vCenter with ESXi (free)

    Hi, I recently bought a copy of Essentials Plus and really vCenter and want to manage the free ESXi hosts that I try to deploy.

    Essentials resembled a great product, but I quickly hit the limit of 3 Server and do not plan on using shared storage/HA or vMotion.

    I noticed that I can buy vCenter Standard or Foundation, but I don't see any info regarding if I can handle the free ESXi version with it. Also Storage vMotion looked interesting and wonder if that can be used to move VMs from local storage on 1 host local storage on a host and I have to buy an ESXi LIC for that or is it available in the free version?

    Thank you

    Based on licensing, free ESXi cannot be managed by vCenter.  Storage vMotion is a feature under license for a purchase of a license of the company would be required and in addition, a facility such as a NAS or a SAN shared storage is necessary for svMotion to work.

  • Issue licenses to be awarded assessment to vSphere 4 Essentials Plus

    Host: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    Mode of assessment
    In vSphere 4 Essentials Plus (<>LICENSE KEY)

    Features in use:
    * vMotion

    I bought essentials more licenses include vMotion.  Why vSphere asks me to turn it off during the award of licenses to each host?

    I have 2 guests, and he complains about two of them.  My "assessment" "expires" in 7 days. Help!

    What version do you use? vMotion has been added to Essentials Plus 4.1 and is not available in 4.0. Using vMotion you must have vCenter Server and hosts on the 4.1 version.

  • What management software is free with ESXi 4.0?  (re: vSphere, vCenter, etc.)

    I'm new and VMware ESXi, but I'm learning and I'd like to better understand the different management products available.

    I installed the free ESXi 4.0, so what software is available?  (free)

    (1) I can't download "vSphere Client" directly from my ESXi host.  Is this different than 'vSphere' from the VMware Web site?

    (2) what is the difference between vSphere and vSphere Remote Command Line Client?

    (3) I have free access to vSphere vCenter?  This is only used to manage multiple ESXi hosts at the same time?

    Thanks much for any help!

    One of the most interesting free tools from VMware is in my view VMware vSphere PowerCLI.

    vSphere 4 is a suite of products. vSphere client is a product of this suite.

    The host update is a utility that allows you to upgrade a vSphere (ESX or ESXi server) from one version to the other host. You don't need this if you start with the last update of the ESXi 4.0 version 2.

  • ESXi 5.5 license error

    Hello

    I am trying to add a Standard 6 of vSphere license to an ESXi host 5.5 using vCenter 5.5. The environment is the following:

    vCenter Server 5.5 Standard license

    1 host stand-alone ESXi 5.5

    VPP L3 VMware VMware vSphere 6 with the standard of operations management

    I'm sure that our supplier mentioned as a vSphere license 6 can be used on a host ESXi 5.5 but I get the following error when trying to add it to vCenter:

    lic_error.jpg

    Can you get it someone please let me know if I can really add a vSphere license 6 to 5.5 ESXi host?

    Elodie

    I'm sure that our supplier mentioned as a vSphere license 6 can be used on a host ESXi 5.5...

    I'm not aware of such an option. To assign a license to vCenter Server or host, you must have the appropriate license key / version. What you need to do is to downgrade the license in your portal MyVMware.

  • Mobile 5.1 ESXi host in vCenter unpublished 6 - license?

    Hi all -

    If I take an ESXi host 5.1, previously managed (under license) via a given vCenter (also v5.1) and its key in the inventory management, then I disconnect/remove this host from the vCenter 5.1 and connect it to a completely new vCenter, what happens to the host of license?

    It disappear and become a 60-day eval, or his license key moves WITH the host in the new vCenter?  (The new vCenter in this scenario would have absolutely zero license keys from host ESXi that apply to guests of ESXi 5.1 existing installs below)

    I was wondering what 'happens' in this scenario I have the document our so-called steps for migration.  Yes, I know that this could / should all be tested "in the lab" but don't get started me on that.  Thanks for any comments on what I can expect.

    My best guess is that the host will LOSE its license now, it becomes a 'standalone' ESXi host when disconnected and removed from the old vCenter (via the "Delete" command).  I want to just make sure that it is also fully functional, if she has run VMs on it at the time or not (although Yes, I'll put it in maintenance mode before removing the old VirtualCenter and join a new).

    And Yes, of course I have old games of the existing environment 5.1 ESXi license keys.  I'm just trying to set expectations as to what is happening in licenses-wise once I move the host from the old to the new vCenter.  I have all pretty well understood technical pieces, including AVS and DVS network considerations.  Thank you.

  • VI3 environment with vSphere vCenter management?

    I could manage my VI3 environment with vSphere vCenter?

    I could add a Cluster VI3 to vSphere vCenter?

    Hi, Yes, you can, but you must install a license server and configure it with the .lic file to manage the licenses for ESX3.5

    Then, in Vcenter, go to Vcenter server settings, licenses and configure the license server location.

  • Assess the VC with ESXi hosts

    Hello

    I have a number of ESXi hosts and want to evaluate VC and all the features of business with our existing ESXi hosts.

    In the documentation for the assessment of the VC2.5, it states that once installed VC and ESX3.5 no license requirements for the first 60 days and that all VI3 functions will be available during this period.

    It does not refer to ESXi and how these hosts must be configured (license config) for use with VC and all features, Vmotion, HA, DRS etc.

    My understanding is that ESXi hosts should be configured with the database server licenses to allow them to participate in the assessment, as features such as vmotion, etc. require VC/license server bases. Obviously if I was evaluating ESX3.5 then no config would be necessary because it also allows all the features for the first 60 days. ESXi is however not evaluated and thus does not give access to the full functionality for 60 days.

    How should the environment be configured to allow the use of CR 60 days eval with ESXi hosts using all the features - vmotion, HA and DRS.

    Please can someone explain this for me?

    Even when assessing the VC, you need to install a license server is placed just in evaluation mode - this is the server licenses as dolse on DBS licenses, HA and vMotion.
