Behavior of ESX/ESXi with standard or free license on HW with more than 6 core

I am wonderig what happens if I run an ESX license on processor with the core of more than 6.

For example after the Installation of ESX on an OCTO-Core processor HW, what happens after insert a license that is not advanced or Enterpise Plus key.

I run VM using only 6 of the 8 main? or the system prevents me to start a virtual machine due to the limitation of the basis of my license?

The limitation of the base would be the license include all of the physical cores. It is different from the standard or free license which gives you 4 SMP (max 4 vCPU simultaneously).

If you use advance or company, then the licence would be only to see max 6 cores processors and ignore the other 2 hearts. You can still use your virtual machine as usual. =)

  • Licenses to create a virtual machine is second with more than 8 cores?

    So, we have a machine with 4 physical Sockets with 16 cores on each. We bought 4 licenses of vmware's standard. Now, we saw early on that the number max of hearts that we assign to a virtual machine was 32, which isn't really a big problem, 32 is a lot for our needs. So we have a 32 core virtual machine running and some other smaller, but now when I try to create another virtual machine with more than 8 cores it tells me that I have insufficient licenses.

    Can anyone provide more information on that? If I can create a virtual machine with more than 8 cores, why I can't create a new one?

    He said authorized to 4 physical processors, so it's ok, it's using your Standard licenses.

    During the 60-day trial, you could create more large virtual machines, because the 60 days run with Enterprise Plus features. Now that you are using the standard license, you can create only 8 vCPU VMs.

    Solution:

    You should spend 5.5 ESXi. Your license will also work for 5.5 and you'll be able to create virtual machines with up to 64 vCPUs.

    There is a small class of Windows 7 users in a particular section.  Leave section A Win7 users with more than the standard 4 hearts of the processor installed, in some cases, several times more.  Or B article Win7 users "legacy Software".  Note that "legacy software" not only old XP/32 software but also includes some advanced technical software for which the latest version is not stable on Win7 or Vista, and which also does not work on any operating system other than Windows.  People who reside in sections A and B, called 'Goblet' hereby shall Win7 Pro XP mode.  However, XP mode currently fails to install the last step with no further comment or recommendation, for all people in the section AxB.  There is a related hotfix KB2519949 which covers the series of chips AMD 8-core Bulldozer.  Microsoft has indicated that KB2519949 is highly specific instance and emits a strong caveat.  The fix may not work and may even be unstable on some systems.  Miscrosoft indicates on page Web KB2519949 further research is necessary.  I need to install XP mode and the Virtual Machine on Win7 Pro with 2 x Intel CPU E5-2620 (24 hearts).  I would accept that XP mode can run on only a subset of my installation of CPU, but only on condition that this does not affect my full CPU installation and proper use on Win7.  This is part of my doctoral research, and the problem has delays.

  • QuickTime, export error QuickTime for Windows is unable to export H.264 on computers with more than 16 cores of CPU because of a problem in the Apple H.264 compressor component. Export error Incompatible Video Codec found in the preset

    I get now after a recent update this error pop up.  I already tried to reinstall QuicktimePro and I am still getting this error.  Any thoughts on what may cause this problem and how can I solve it?

    Thank you

    Media Encoder QuickTime H.264 encoding is based on the QuickTime component provided by Apple.  Unfortunately, the version Windows of QuickTime from Apple does not support the 16 + processor cores.  Unless Apple corrects this problem on their own, we cannot do this work on Media Encoder.  Another solution is to use encoding H.264 (.mp4) and it works on any CPU configuration.

  • Cannot start a virtual machine with more than 1 CPU socket added

    I've set up a few boxes of ESXi 5.5 with the free license in recent weeks, they have all been without problems so far. All 4 servers have the same exact hardware

    Environment:

    Dell Poweredge T620

    E5-2630 2 Intel CPU

    40 GB OF DDR3 ECC RAM

    ESXi is installed on 2 x 146 GB 15 K SAS drives RAID-1

    Data for virtual machines store are 8 x 600 GB 10 K SAS RAID-10 disc

    Guest operating system is Server2012r2 on all virtual machines

    Installed it on ESXi 3 previous were conducted with custom ESXi 5.5 Dell without problem.

    The 4th is where I will have questions. I used the following ESXi installed just in case there is a bug somewhere

    5.5 of VMware ESXi

    ESXi 5.5 customized by Dell

    5.5 U1 of VMware ESXi

    Any version of the ESXi I use I can't have a virtual machine to begin with more than 1 CPU socket added to it. The virtual machine does not start even the VMWare BIOS. I tried the Bios EFI as well with no luck. The error message I get in the events is ' fatal error VMware ESX: vcpu (vcpu-X)-X:VM - entry failed; Valid VMCS (error code 8). The vcpu-X is always another. I have attached the log file is created. If I give the VM 1 single processor TI starts very well. I'm at a loss as to what could be the issue.

    Problem is solved. I caught another server with identical hardware, verified it worked properly, then started to swap parts between them. Turned out to be CPU1. Once this has been replaced from a working server I have not had any problems. Warranty has been appealed.

    Thanks for all the help!

  • How to list all the vm with more than one network card?

    Hello

    Is it possible to only list all my s vm in my environment with more than one network card?

    I tried using the Get-NetowrkAdapter cmdlet, but could not get the desired results.

    Get - VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Select-Object Name. ConvertTo-HTML-head $a - body "Virtual Machines < H2 > < / H2 > ' | Out-file D:\vms.htm

    Thank you

    Hello, AGFlora-

    Of course, you can do this with the standard as cmdlets:

    ## using standard cmdletsGet-VM | Select Name, @{n="NumNICs"; e={(Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $_ | Measure-Object).Count}} | ?{$_.NumNICs -gt 1}
    

    Or, if you want to get the results a little (or a lot) more quickly, you can use the cmdlet Get-view as:

    ## fast-like, using Get-ViewGet-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name,Config.Hardware.Device | Select Name,@{n="NumNICs"; e={($_.Config.Hardware.Device | ?{$_ -is [VMware.Vim.VirtualEthernetCard]} | Measure-Object).Count}} | ?{$_.NumNICs -gt 1}
    

    Those are both by selecting the names of virtual machines and their number of network cards.  Then you can direct this output to Export-Csv, ConvertTo-HTML, what you like.  What to do for you?

  • need to vmdk with more than size of 2 TB

    Hello

    I install ESXi5 on 2 x 72 > RAID 5 and create VMs on it (2008), now I have to create vmdk and assign it to this virtual machine with more than 2.5 TB of size.

    I creat new RAID set and now I have data store with 3 TB space, but I can't to creat 2.5 or more to vmdk

    How can I create?  How can I activate the RAW Disk Mapping on the local storage?...

    you will not see local hard drives, it is already in the RAID, then only you can see the raid volume. Which is given below

    MPX.vmhba2:C0:t0:l0<-- disk="">

    MPX.vmhba2:C0:t0:l0:1<-- partition="">

    MPX.vmhba2:C0:t0:l0:2<-- partition="">

    It is not recommended to violate the recommended settings and rules given by vmware, it will raise many problems and if it is in production you will be screwed. On the thing you can do, is to create dynamic disks and create a split volume.

    http://www.Techotopia.com/index.php/Creating_and_Managing_Simple_and_Spanned_Volumes_on_Windows_Server_2008

    If you still want to go for RDM local pause, the RAID and see if it detects the ESX or not and if you can see the individual disks and if you are able to make RDM with these discs, then back to the VM will intervene only individual HDD so no raid and protection? So it is very risky

  • VM with more than 4 cards (how about 14 NIC?)

    I'm interested to know if someone has built a virtual machine in ESX 3.5 with more than 4 vNIC.

    I have a specific application to which we want to build two VM.    A virtual machine would have ideally 7 vNIC and the other 14 (fourteen Yes) vNIC.    Has anyone edit the VMX file successfully to create such a configuration?

    (Note: I am aware that several IP may be related to a single network adapter.)  This type of configuration is not enough)

    The total number of virtual PCI devices that can have a virtual machine is 6. Assuming you need to at least a virtual scsi controller and a single virtual video card (no more no less), the number of virtual network adapters, you can currently have is 4.

  • After using groups of tabs earlier today, now whenever I close FF with more than 1 open tab, FF don't ask me to confirm before closing

    After using groups of tabs earlier today, now whenever I close FF with more than 1 open tab, FF don't ask me to confirm prior to closing. FF always asked me to confirm in the past and no settings have been changed before you try tab groups. Then when I open FF it again all the tabs I had open are still there. I tried refreshing FF and erase history, but that did not work. It's almost as if FF think windows and tabs I have open are a group of tabs, and he won't let me get rid of this group. How to stop groups of tabs now that I have them? Or is there something else? None of this was going on until this morning, I played with tab groups. I was curious what it was - it's going to make me kill one of these days lol.

    Note that using "show my windows and tabs from last time" as the start setting will also prevent Firefox to display an alert when you close the window.

    Hello

    First of all I must say it is really hard to say something about it without having heard this noise you want to say.

    Generally speaking, it of normal that you hear some noises during writing or reading process of the HARD drive.
    You can test your HARD drive for bad sectors using Drive Fitness Test. Which is a freeware tool that can check the HARD disk.
