Better route to abandon more Essentials to vSphere Standard?

• Essentials for vSphere Standard - correct license?

  We are running 3 x machines hosts vsphere 4.1 essentials connected to a server vCenter (not the essentials vcenter server) running standard. We know that if we improve these host machines we cannot be handled by our server vCenter (v5.5) due to a change of license and it is like not possible.

  
  After the execution of these 3 guests with Essentials, we now seek to introduce environmental vmotion and storage vmotion. Can you confirm for me that we just need to buy the right amount of vSphere Standard licenses?

  It doesn't seem to be an upgrade from Essentials to vSphere standard. Team VMware licenses have already recommended to talk to our partners and after that they recommend to purchase:

  VMware vSphere with operations management [Corporate - upgrading: VMware vSphere 5 Essentials to vSphere Operations Manag Std Acceleration Kit of 6 processors]

  It is also much more expensive and much more than necessary.  I believe that it is unnecessary to go this route because it is much more expensive than buying the vSphere licensing standards.

  Can anyone confirm that we just need to buy the right amount of vSphere Standard licenses in order to manage them with vCenter Server Standard to enable vmotion between these hosts?

  I understand that acceleration kits are grouped to be more profitable, but because you already have a license of vcenter standard you are right, you will need the correct number of vSphere ESXi licenses which is sold per CPU - so if your three hosts are dual cpu you will need 6 licenses

• Kit with vsa license key more Essentials

  Hi, this should be a quick, I recently bought more essential kit, and I managed to install the ASB,

  However, the license key I received was only for essentials and vsphere essentials vcenter more processor license.

  It does not come with the VSA license key, I tried to enter the vcenter license key, it came out invalid, so currently use the 60-day trial.

  I'm missing something here? Where can I get the license key of vsa?

  Have a read of the present. I suspect this is what you see - VSA Licensing explained | VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs

• MPIO, ALUA and Vsphere Standard Edition

  I'm having a hard time to give a sense of the differences in features between Vsphere standard Edition and enterprise Edition when it comes to storage.   In the comparison of the features he says that this standard does not support third-party plugins or MPIO.  But I know that at least, it supports MPIO basis because I have it running on one of my sites with ISCSI.    So I'm I wondered what exactly it does not support and more particularly wonder about MPIO on SAN FC who wants me to activate ALUA.

  Take a look at VMware KB: frequently asked Questions for the vStorage API for integration of the table that describes the functions available with VAAI.

  ALUA and the MPIO built-in will work regardless of the edition, you can simply use 3rd party software.

• Max vm on vSphere Standard license

  Hi @ all,

  How vm´s can work on vSphere Standard Edition. Someone told me that I can run only 4 virtual machines with this license.

  Now I ve 5 vm´s running on my ESX Server Standard edition and how it works. do I have a problem of license with more than 4 vm´s on vSphere Standard?

  Is this true?

  I guess the 4 limited VM was linked with Microsoft licensing. With a Windows Server 2003 R2 (or higher) Enterprise license, you can run up to 4 virtual Windows Server instances on a single host.

• Uppgrade free vSphere to vSphere Standard

  Hello

  So uppgrade vSphere vSphere license open source to vSphere standard, do I need to enter the new license key only or there is not another?

  Any KB for this positve step?

  Simply enter the license key to unlock new features. There is no need to re - install the ESXi host or install anything else.

  But be aware that as a sine qua non to use many features you must have a vCenter Server.

• vSphere Standard switch - how does the failover

  Hello

  I have a theory for you question VMware guru.  I have four ports on my ESXi host and I want to assure you that in the case of a link failure, network traffic gets moved to another link.  Currently, I have all four adapters marked as Active to balance traffic between the four ports to load.  My question is, what is the point of having an auxiliary card?  In the case of a failure of the link, is it a switchport not active failover to another active port?  If an active port can switch to another active port, why would you want never to define an interface in sleep mode, rather than use it for balancing traffic?

  Thanks for any idea in advance!

  -ToTheCloud

  OK, so the auxiliary card would be useful if I only had 3 ports and two switches vSphere Standard.  At this time, when a port to one of these switches would fail, I'll be able to have the one of these switches switch to auxiliary card (since you cannot have an active adapter on both switches at the same time)?

  Correct - if you had two vSwitches, each with a NIC card Assistant could only be assigned to a vSwitch both.

  Also, just to clarify, if I do not have all four active cards on the same vSwitch, if a link goes down, traffic would failover to another active adapter if I didn't have a correct map specified, auxiliary?

  Yes.

• feature vMotion, vSphere Standard 4.0 and 4.1

  Dear forum,

  I would like to ask a simple question...

  A customer to lay mines on vMotion in vSphere Standard edition.

  How they get this vMotion functionality. They are currently serving vsphere 4.0 U1.

  They need to upgrade the engine first (4.0 U1 to 4.1)?

  Thank you...

  PS:

  vSphere 4.0 Standard, the vMotion feature edition is not available.

  Yes, your customer must migrate to version 4.1 for the vmotion feature

• The upgrade to vsphere 4 essentials for vsphere 4.1 essentials more with 2 servers?

  I currently have a Dell 2950 III with processors x 5460 double hearts running vsphere 4 essentials and I am looking at upgrading on two servers with vsphere 4 essentials more with vmotion. How do I know if I can continue to use my existing 2950 and add a Dell R610 with two hexagonal x 5680 core processors? I want to be able to run most of my guests on the new R610 but power move them back to the 2950 (which could be changed during the upgrade) and if necessary R610.

  Thank you.

  The only concern, you'll need to know is the processors for R710, R610, and PE 2950. You must ensure that enhanced Vmotion is supported for these inorder to three servers for vmotion (live migration) seamlessly.

  I know R610 and R710 works, but I'm not sure what that generate a PE2950 you are referring. You can see the matrix here. http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=1003212 an another prereq is that all of these VMs must be in the shared storage and the shared storage is presented to all these 3 hosts.

  I'm on windows 7 and I've upgraded to the latest version of firefox, and now it will not open. I completely deleted firefox and transferred again, and it does not work.

• vCenter 4.1 vSphere Essentials Hosts Management Standard?

  Hi all

  I'm looking at the deployment of some remote site vSphere hosts and I was wondering if I can use the vSphere Essentials licenses and use our standard server vCenter 4.1 central to manage?

  Thank you

  Chris.

  I think that this will not work. Even if it did, you would violate VMware EULA.

  of http://www.vmware.com/download/eula/esx_esxi_eula.html

  For these editions, the host server must be managed by the VMware vCenter Server that comes with these editions, and this same VMware vCenter server cannot be used to manage other hosts from server not included with these editions.

• No more server in vSphere license?

  I was installing vSphere in workstation and noticed that I had the ability to specify an "activation code"? Can someone explain how this works?

  In addition, with the profile of the host, does that mean I have install my first host ESX with custom directory sizes and settings appropriate, as vswitches... etc. and then when I install my next host ESX I just apply the custom profile, I just created?

  vSphere4 is allowed by "activation code" now rather than using a file server/license in VI3.

  OK, you can applly the profile of any other host ESX bring you in the cluster.  I only it used beta version somewhat, but I'm usually the IP address of vkernel and the rest of the profile has been automated.  Profile of the host no longer usable in Enterprise

• set up of IE9 beta now the microsoft security essentials does not start

  After you have configured the security to explore 9 beta essintials program says that somethings not allowing this procedure which would cause this im running windows 7 home premium * E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  After you have configured the security to explore 9 beta essintials program says that somethings not allowing this procedure which would cause this im running windows 7 home premiumEmail removed privacy

  My personal opinion...
  Any Beta program is expected to have bugs. That is why the label "beta".
  If you are a computer user accomplished and ready to test a beta program, continue to do.
  If you are just a normal daily computer user, you can stick to IE8 at the moment until the SP is set to release 'officially' the product to the general public.

  For your information only, you can uninstall IE9. The system automatically returns itself back to IE8.
  To uninstall IE9: go to programs and features > left column, install the update > scroll to find Windows Internet Explrer 9 > right click > uninstall.
  Realizing that you use Win7. The above procedure should work for Win7 machine.

  For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.
