Can I use vSphere Client 5.0 to ESXi 4.1 Manager servers?
I'm looking to deploy a new ESXi server. I am considering using 5.0 instead of 4.1. Can I use the vSphere Client 5.0 to manage my 4.1 older servers or should I keep the customers the same version as the servers?
We use Essentials so our configuration of VMWare is not very complicated.
Thank you
Welcome to the community,
VMware uses an individual customer for each version. However, the version can co-exist and you start really is a launcher that determine the ESXi/vCenter version you will connect to and then starts the appropriate customer.

I can't connect to Vcenter using vsphere client
I installed vCenter 6.0 and vsphere client 6.0. I can connect to the web client, but when I am connected to vCenter using vsphere client I got error.
In vsphere version 5.5 I can connect to vCenter using vsphere client 5.5.

Do vsphere 6.0 support connecting to vCenter using vsphere client?
I guess you are using Vsphere Client beta built which has only the features of client enabled host.
Try GA build Client to connect to vCenter. However, the latest vsphere 5.1 leave are available only in the web client.

You cannot use vSphere client to change the settings of the virtual machine v10 or more
Hello
I just downloaded new version of Kali Linux to do some tests with my free version of ESXi update 5.5 2, the problem is that I can't change the settings of the virtual machine in vSphere Client.
It's so good because of the independence of Web OS Client vSphere but what about the free version? Everyone knows you need a vCenter running successfully and a license for the vSphere Web Client.
There is no free version of VMWare vCenter.
Nice day.

How to change the IP address for the virtual using Vsphere Client computer?
Hello
I have Esxi 5.0.0 and using the client vsphere 5.0.0 and deployed a VM with Centos 5.6.
Can I change Ipadress assigned to the virtual computer that is already installed?
Could you please let me know in detail of the measures to be executed in order to change the IP address if it is authorized using Vsphere Client 5.0.0
You can take a look at this blog sound to change IP on the Windows virtual machine, probably using the CLI of power it should be possible on linux VM

How to configure NTP between Virtual Machines without using Vsphere Client
I have a group of 8 virtual servers of 5.5 ESXi without an Internet connection. There are virtual machines on each of these 8 virtual servers.
I did one of these 5.5 virtual ESXi host a NTP server by editing the file /etc/ntp.conf with below configuration and
started the ntpd daemon. He began to take the time to its local clock, here's the output of ntpq Pei
IP server 10.108.190.14
ip address of the client 10.108.190.15
Server /etc/ntp.conf

> > server 127.127.1.0 maxpoll 4

| * LOCAL (0). LIUX. 10 l 2 64 377 0.000 0.000 0.001Then I edited the file /etc/ntp.conf on customers with below configuration but the customer would not synchronize with the server. He
wouldn t get response from the server. Here is the output of ntpq Pei

| 10.108.190.14 INIT. 16 uNow, when I configure NPT Client/Server on virtual machines through the Configuration Option under Option Configuration time
in Vsphere Client everything works fine and the client and the server to synchronize with each other. I checked the file /etc/ntp.conf on both the client
and the server and it has a couple of restrict 127.0.0.1 and restrict the lines added by default kod nomodify etc.
So why NPT Server featured when enabled via Vsphere Client works very well, but it does not work when it is configured manually
in the virtual servers directly.
I was connected to a vCenter Server Appliance through the VSphere Client and enabled the synchronization of time of the NPT.
I really need to know how to configure the NTP server without using the Vsphere Client so that I can automate the
task by writing a python script that would connect to each virtual server and NTP Client/Server configuration.
Any help in this issue deeply appreciated!
Thank you!
You can configure the ntp server without using viclient.

Where can I download vSphere Client?
The vmware site must be one of the sites more frusterating, that I've never been. Everything is hidden and barried without information below value... you can I'm frusterated? I searched for vsphere client, and the ONLY thing that appears is the documentation. Even if I filter by products. Can someone post a link? I need for server 2008r2 64 bit.
"Support and download" select VMware vSphere or VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), depending on wheter you use paid or free edition. Then, follow the link to the product and download the vSphere Client after sign in with your credentials. You can also copy the link from the web site of ESXi (see post from Troy) and use it on a system with Internet access.

Cannot configure the firewall using vSphere client (access to ESX 4i)
I can't acess the firewall by using the client vSphere connection to a host of 4i ESX. I select the host & gt; configuration & gt; Safety profile & gt; and it flashes firewall briefly, but then watch as services (two) (VMware vCenter Agent (arrested) and NTP daemon (started).
Clues? I restarted services (and the host itself).
ESXi should be behind a firewall because there is no firewall integrated its own.
If you find this or any other information useful or appropriate, please consider giving points.

Version 3.0 on 5.5 vCenter using vSphere client
New vCenter 5.5 (build 2646482) most recent of the VMware Web site.
vSphere client 5.5 (of course)
Brilliant new V3.0 of OMIVV
Installation device and registered in vCenter without error.
Seems to work in the VMware web client (I'm still exploring). I can manually add servers iDRAC.
Since the heavy Win32 client, I don't get the Wizard but I get an empty bar in the middle of the screen with "Error #2048" down at the bottom.
My client is Win7 x 64 with IE10 default browser.
Where to start?
See you soon
Ian
Hello Ian,
Try the following steps:
- Disconnect and connect to VMware Desktop client (thick client).
- Go to home > hosts and Clusters > select any host Dell > click the tab "OpenManage Intégration" and wait for it to load
- Now, click on Home > Dell Management Center, it should work now.
Let me know how it goes.
Thank you

Hi guys, could not find the answer on any Docs/KBs. With the implementation of normal SRM, I know you can use a mixture of the two, while a virtual machine is not protected by the table and vR.
I need to make a site of NEW Dr. C while maintaining the current Bay of NETAPP on protection SRM of Site B.
Will this be an approach to support? Step 0 is required?
0 > get my guys to storage to stop replication on LUN - XYZ table (IF ANY) on
1 > delete virtual machines on LUN XYZ of SRM existing Protection groups.
2 > use vSphere replication to replicate the VMs who live on the LUN - XYZ
3 > repeat the process until all LUNS have been treated like that.
It should work without problem. I would recommend just a change in order to:
1 (also remove the logic of the PG unit number), 0, 2, 3
If you want to leave the computer on the same LUN virtual then step 0 is not necessary, but recommended (see below). If want to let the replication logic unit number and can just svmotion the VM, which would work as well.
From a data protection perspective, as long as you understand the potential complications, I recommend you actually starting with step 2. Technically, you don't want to not have the same virtual machine reproduced several times, in this case since you are in transition, and if you understand that retrieve the VM using a method will break the other, and you can not the virtual machine protection with the two (VR & ABR) in SRM, you should be ok.
Hope it makes sense. If this is not the case, let me know.

Can I use vSphere Replicaiton to clone Production to the doctor?
VMGods Hey!
I'm trying to gain time to build my DR site by cloning my Production VMs on our DR site continuously, rather than on each computer virtual ground accumulate. In total, we are talking about 80-90 mV, a mixture of Linux and Windows. Us are currently approved for Enterprise + and have independent vcenter on our Production and DR sites, the two 5.5 running (vCenter and ESXi). The question is, if I use vSphere replication to replicate my Prod VMs to the doctor, I can then break all ties between the VM in seed Production and use the virtual machine cloned in DR regardless? As a follow-up question, is there a way I can run sysprep after replication automatically on the replica of VM?
Thank you!
Hi Jared,
Yes, you can use VR to create copies of the original VMs in an another server vCenter inventory.
Once the initial full synchronization is complete, any changes to the original VMs will be replicated according to the parameters of RPO.
Once you decide to stop replication, you can first call "Recovery Wizard" and establish the files replicated as VMs in vCenter inventory target. Power on stage is optional in the "Recovery Wizard". Please make sure that you use the last available-sync point - this will not affect the original VMs.
After that the virtual machines 'recovered' are registered in vCenter target inventory, rehearsals will turn into "Recovered" status Then you can stop safely replication from the user interface and from that moment, there is nothing THAT VR associated virtual machines or in the user interface.
Today, VR disconnects explicitly recovered virtual computers network cards.
There is no integration of sysprep. You may build your own customization using Powershell or similar.
MRS offers some customization options, but requires a separate license.
Kind regards

ESX4 starts - but takes at least 20 minutes before I can connect with vsphere client!
Currently, three servers of ESX4. Two months ago, a loss of power and of the restart. Server #1 initialization until the connection to the console without problem. Unable to connect to the server using client vshpere immediately. After 20 minutes, the vsphere client connections began to work.
Although nothing of him until the #3 server went down today and restarting system apparently came to the console ok, but took 40 minutes before I could connect to it with vsphere client! Y at - it something stupid I'm missing here? I have not tweaked these boxes, plenty of stock and NO settings have changed since its installation. They never used to take this long!
Any ideas?
I'm going to this post too, just in case

This GROUP must be assigned to USER to CONNECT using vSphere Client
Hi all - I use ROOT to connect to ESX via vSphere Client, but this seems wrong to me.
I want to use another user, say "Annie."
but define as a 'normal' user, that is, referring only in the "users" group
gives me the message «You are not allowed to connect on the server»
My questions are:
(1) what user group "sebas" should be?
(2) where is the documentation for this kind of information?
Thank you. Sébastien.

How to resize a virtual machine using vSphere client
Hi all
I have a virtual computer on an ESXi 4 server but I am not able to resize. So far I have stop the virtual machine in vSphere client, selected the settings then went to Hard Disk 1, Disk Configuration section everything is gray so cannot be changed. The type is listed as thick and the version of virtual machine is 7. How can I go on the increase in the size of the disk of this virtual, or any other machine also?
Thank you
Jamie
Remember that you cannot increase the size of a disc if there is a snapshot, but if the option is gryed out, it looks more like a permissions issue. You do that connected directly to the host of ESXi, or through vCenter?
