Can we use VMware vSphere 4 Enterprise to manage ESXi 3.5?

We plan to buy VMware vSphere 4 Enterprise to manage ours 4 ESXi 3.5 hosts, but we are not sure if there is any kind of limitation to do. For example Veeam Backup no longer support ESXi?

http://www.Veeam.com/news/Veeam-software-offers-new-Essentials-Bundle-acceleration-kits-for-VMware-vSphere4.html

Thank you

As we already mentioned, you can manage the 3.5 hosts with vCenter 4.0, but also you can same VMotion VMs between 3.5 and 4.0 hosts. So you can switch to 4.0 without service interruption.

1. switch vCenter 4.0

2 migrate all virtual machines on a host, put it in maintenance mode.

3 upgrade host with Update manager

4 goto 2 until all hosts are upgraded.

  • Can I use VMware vSphere Hypervisor™ with vSphere Client?

    It's the question next poped upward.

    and

    -Can I use VMware vSphere Hypervisor™ with vSphere Client software for free?

    Yes - it is freely permitted, but he he has limits and lack of features compared to the vSphere Essentials kits. Another thing to note is the absence of vCenter Server to manage multiple ESXi hypervisors with the free version. The backup API are, in my opinion, one of the main obstacles to the use of this.

  • Can I use VMWare server 2 operational execution Server 2003 / 2008 VM?

    Can I use VMWare server 2 to run an operational Server 2003 / 2008 and an another SBS 2003 / 2008 VM? This way I want to run a SBS 2008 Server with a separate server for SQL 2005 and CRM 4.0.

    Or should I buy then sphere or VMWare Workstation? I would like to work on a computer with XP pro SP2 64-bit, but if this is not possible I could install a 64 bit OS on this server.

    Should I'm way real physical internet access of a virtual machine in VMWare server 2?

    WinServ 2003 and 2008 running great on VMware Server 2, which is free.  They'll run even faster on ESXi, which is also free, but has no local console (it takes a second machine see the console & vms).

    I have an opterons 2xquad @ 2.7 Ghz, 16 GB of RAM and 4 TB of disk space and I can run 4-5 virtual machines without flinch... but my vmware-server works on Ubuntu.  I believe that Linux running on the underlying area will give a MUCH better than Windows.

  • Can we start VMware vSphere Client with uid and pwd together?

    It is possible to pass the UserID and pwd in VMware vSphere client application using program options?

    The program did not show anything re. Start arguments or settings for the program

    I think it's a little embarrassing that I always need to manually enter credentials and would define me a shortcut that contains the credentials.

    Something like "C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\VpxClient.exe - uid < UID > - < PWD > pwd..."

    Is this possible? Or via a config file?

    Please take a look at for example http://www.johnoriordan.ie/index.php/2011/02/21/vsphere-client-command-line-options/ for the way in which this can be done.

  • Can't active VMWare vSphere Hypervisor 6.0

    So I registered on the Web site, go to downloads > free downloads > vSphere Hypervisor and I downloaded the VMware vSphere Hypervisor 6.0 and installed on my server.  On the same page that the download link, it gave me a license key to use.  Then, I downloaded the client and connected to my server.  After login I get a pop-up stating "your evaluation license expires in 60 days.  There is a blue link that says: 'Assign a license to the ESXi host' but when I click on it, my browser opens and need me just to the home page of VMware.  If I click OK and that the box disappears, then there is no place on the interface for me to register the product.  What I'm missing here?  Screenshots included

    And I literally just thought to it right after I posted this.  I had to click on inventory > Configuration tab > features licensed > Edit > assign a new license key to this host.  Not sure why they bury him like this, but happy, what is done today.  Thank you

  • Can be used on Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit memory

    I have a Lenovo T500 running Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit with 4 GB of RAM installed, but Windows only is 2.46 GB usable. I understand that there may be some PCI, graphics or other card using the part, but what I've seen, it's that I should wait longer in the GB 3.2 - 3.5 being usable.

    I have a card ATI Radeon HD 3650 installed and when I look at its properties lists the "Total available graphics memory" 1258 MB, but the "dedicated video Memor" up to 256 MB, the "system video memory" at 0 MB and 'Shared video memory' 1002 MB. Could he explain to me? 1258 MB seems excessive, but I don't see any setting where to control it, not even in the ATI Catalyst Center.

    Can someone help me understand how to free the rest?

    Please move to 64-bit Windows for the use of the RAM is full. "A programmer is just a tool that converts the caffeine in code" Deputy CLIP - http://www.winvistaside.de/

  • Can I use Config Free for enterprise wireless network?

    I am an administrator Configuration computer portable personal staff to use on our sales network. I can choose between creating a user account so that the employee would have separate sign, and then turn it back on in order to get on the corporate network, or I can choose to use ConfigFree - who comes on his computer.

    She must be able to access files and printers on the server of the company.

    ConfigFree will allow my employee, hop on the network wireless company and the 'login', access to printers and files of the company? Is there a good resource to describe how to configure?

    Thank you, Amanda

    Hello Amanda

    In my opinion you must learn about ConfigFree and what can be done with this tool.
    I think there is no sense to write about it here and you can read all about it in the help file.
    Just start ConfigFree and click Help.

    Read a bit of ConfigFree and all options particularly useful functions there ConfigFree.

  • can I use "Oracle Database 12 c: performance management and Tuning" training for the certification "Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning 1Z0-054 '"»

    I took "Oracle Database 12 c: new performance management and Tuning" the oracle University training. Now I would like to get certified on "Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning 1Z0-054 ' exam. Is this possible?

    I guess you ask if you can use the course 12 c as long as the condition of course for the review of 11g.  Over 12 c is not listed as one of the options for the 11 g certification and course requirements are normally specific version - at least with DBA certifications.  If you are already an Oracle OCP DBA, of course, there is no requirement of course for the review of performance tuning.  From what I know the training requirements for other certifications, I do not that you will be able to use it. However, Brandye will provide a definitive answer to whether the course 12 c would be acceptable for 11g certification.

    That said, I'm with John - 12 c review is about a community of 85 to 90% in the review of the 11g and is currently about 20% of the price while it is in beta.  What is the point of trying to cross the releases?

  • VMware vSphere for VC 5.1 replication can be done between two VCs?

    Hello:

    In VC 5.1 version VMware added an option of replication (for SMB, unlicensed SRM), but I still don't understand if replication is possible between two VCs (such as vSphere MIS replication) or it's just the inside / in front of clusters on the same virtual circuit?

    The question is, can I use VMware vSphere replication to replicate (protect VMS) between 2 VCs unlicensed SRM?

    Thank you,

    It is very simple to use - discover Duncan Epping "Back to Basics: install, configure and use replication vSphere"for a good overview. ".
