Cannot power on the license server

Hello

Busted a physical machine containing several virtual methods, including the license server. Now, I want to run several virtual machines, starting with the license server, but I got an error message: "there are not enough licenses to complete this operation." Help, please!

Evaluation mode is not an option.

Thanks in advance,

Gerard

You can create a new license server (the installation file are on the CD of vCenter and VMware download site).

Place the file lic (get it from the backup of the old server or Web portal of licenses).

And point each ESX to the new license server.

  • Virtual Server Center down and as its also the license server, it cannot start

    I have the virtual center server which is also the license as a virtual machine server. We had problems with the SAN today and decided to move this server to local storage in the case of other issues during the weekend, until we can diagnose/solve the problems of SAN. However, it will not start back up to stop the virtual machine to move (no installation storage vmotion again) and complains that cannot see the license server, the license server's so how can we start it?

    I tested stop this server before and to work around the problem, then we have just activated evaluation mode, the server restarted, and he returned to the license server mode when it was high, but he used to do that now and I can not start any vm at all and since most of them failed because of problems with SAN storage I need to get this resolved as soon as possible. The difference between when we tested before and now 4 months and update 3 has been applied recently.

    How do I start the server in its current or is configuration - it is no longer possible to use the evaluation mode and we do the licensing of other words, IE non-virtual?

    ......

    I managed to start the server using VM Player running in another physical server, but this is not an ideal long-term solution, but out me an affair until we solve this problem.

    Many people run in this mode.

    As a backup, just getting up an another license server using your existing key.  Point the ESX host with virtual machine on it to the 'temp' license server by connecting to the host ESX directly with the VI Client.

    Back up the virtual machine.

    Change license server address that you modified on the back of ESX host.

  • Cannot Change The License server on server VC2.5

    Hi all

    I looked around these forums but couldn't find a solution for my prob.

    Our license server was wiped out by a member of our team at the time, but was replaced by another and all licenses we are reissued for the relevant esx servers.

    recently, we have added two new esx servers allowing it added ok.

    But when I try to add them to the VC, I said that there are not enough licenses available. I look on the license server and not lacking.

    some still study showed that the VC still points to the old license server (there is not) and not the new licenserver...

    I tried to change that [email protected] but the message warns me that there is no license no s on this server

    I telneted to the license server and can connect, and all the esx servers are picking up the license there from there.

    How can I get the Victoria Cross to licens to the new server?

    Restart your virtual Center service.  If there is a license on the vc server, the old server, make sure that all of these services are stopped.  You plug your ESX host directly, or pass vCenter to configure licensing it?

  • Number of CPU of the license server to the servers of a socket

    I searched the community but found no solution or similar results. Maybe it's so trivial...

    So the question is on the (Macrovision FlexLM) license server and how this licensing system for guests.

    We use vCenter Server v2.5 3 update and license server is running on the same hardware. Are all ESX v3.5 hosts and update levels varies between 2 update and update 4. In this thread (Enterprise license) David Weinstein said with an example how many CPU is consumed from the license server.

    You can use 16 CPU Enterprise License 'package' in different ways:

    • 2 servers with 8 CPU sockets populated = 2 * 8 = 16 CPU of the license server

    • 4 servers with 4 CPU sockets populated = 4 * 4 = 16 CPU of the license server

    • 8 servers with 2 CPU sockets populated = 8 * 2 = 16 CPU of the license server

    Or you can do any combination of fill 16 CPU:

    • 1 server with 4-socket full CPU + 1 server with 8 sockets populated CPU + 2 servers with 2 sockets populated CPU = 484 = 16 CPU of the license server

    So far, everything is correct and understandable, but when you add a server socket for the things the soup becomes interesting. Servers a socket use only 1 CPU since the license server and which is correct from the point of view License Manager server.

    QUESTION (S):

    1. Is an enterprise license for the ESX (up to two CPU sockets) the right to split into two servers a socket?

    2. In the opposite case and an enterprise license for ESX (up to two CPU sockets) is related to a single physical host and there is a socket server, how the license server should deliver CPU from the pool of license? CPU in a relationship?

    3. A good way to request a report where the license server shipped number of CPU's match with one, two, four or eight socket servers? Or is it all good 3rd third-party tool for that?

  • License for SRM on D drive file will not be perceived by the license server

    Hello comrade VMers...

    One of our license server is not see the SRM license file. We dropped in the folder with all our other license files. We did the troubleshooting normal as, adding the license file with file license vmware tools, restart the license server service and restart the vmware virtual center server service.

    Does anyone know if the license server has a requirement on drive c for MRS?

    Thank you

    VIC

    If you use "VMware License Server Tools" and look at the "Services Config" tab, you can see 'Path to the license file"set to 'C:\Program VMware license Server\Licenses'. If this is the case, change the location to match the location of your SRM (and VC) licensing files and restart the service.

    When you look in the Administration/Licensing under Virtual Infrastructure Client tab, you should see "SRM" listed under the features under license.

  • Stuck to the configuration of the license server to the virtual Center

    Hi all

    I tried to configure VI3 on my laptop and did almost all the configurations below

    I created as a result of VM on my laptop on Vmware workstation 6.5

    -2 Esx 3.5 Server

    -1 open run VM SAN

    -Center Virtual Win2k3 VM

    Everything is going well so far the esx servers start in 5 minutes and SAN targets are visible. But I don't see the Vmotion option on my virtual Center Server (probably because I n, t configured license server).

    I try to add the file licesnse to the file licsencse on the server of VMware, but still no help. I din, t get any mail from vmware with licenses in so attachment.

    anyidea what can be done here?

    Thanks in advance

    Anuj

    Hello

    Okay, I think that the license server is already there.

    is how to enable vmotion

    in each of your esx hosts

    go to the tab slot-> choose the networking-> click Properties of the vSwitch that is connected to your network vmotion (it must be a network of vmkernal)-> select the vmotion network in the new window and click on edit-> click on the box where it says enable vmotion.

    do this for both servers.

  • The blackBerry Smartphones No. MMS option and cannot connect to the application server

    Good evening

    For some reason any I can not receive or send MMS on my Blackberry 9520 Storm 2. I still do not see the ability to send a picture as a text when I go on my photos. I don't know if it's the phone or my provider. I have my 9520 unlocked on AT & T with a package data unlimited talk and text unlimited. I tried to have photos I was sent as well, but it was also no chance that I NEVER received a text.

    The second problem I have is that I can't access the Blackberry App Store. Try whenever I have it says that it cannot connect to the server.

    Any help?

    Edit: The problem of the App Store is no longer present (off the network and turned it back), but the MMS problem is still present.

    Hello!

    I suggest the following:

    (1) registry HRT

    • Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > host Routing Table > BBKey (it matter little what line is current) > sign up now

    (2) Service reference books

    • KB02830 Send the directories for the BlackBerry Internet Service

    (3) restart to take batt

    • Each time a random strange behavior or slow creeps, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    I hope that will move things again for you! But, the fact that you can't do SMS or MMS seems to indicate that they are not part of your plan service provider - that is why, if the above does not help, then contact them to see if you who are on your plan on their part.

    Good luck and let us know!

  • Could not power on VM: no space is available on the device: cannot power on the virtual machine.

    VMware esx ei, 3.5.0 123629

    Physical memory: 64 GB

    7 virtual machines. 5 of them are configured with 4 GB memory and 2 of them with 2 GB of memory. I am able to power on 3 virtual machines with 4 GB of memory.

    When I try to turn on 4th VM with 2 GB of memory, I get this error message "could not power on VM: no space is available on the device: cannot power on VM.»

    I would like to know if this is the limitation of the ESX Server? How should I size the memory for VMS if I want to run every 7 virtual machines to the

    Moreover, given that I have 64 GB of physical memory. Is there documentation that provides a report of the maximum allowed memory configurable

    compared to the virtual memory?

    Thank you

    Ganesh.

    Ganesh,

    Memory reservations are defined based on VM by VM.

    You can allocate more memory to the virtual machines you have in your host (it's not really a good idea to go crazy with the overcommitment of memory, but some level of excessive pressure is used in general).  Memory applied to your VM resources are shares, bookings and VMkernel Swap limits.

    Just to illustrate:

    You allocate 8 GB memory to a virtual computer.  If you take all the parameters by default, ESX will allot a 8 GB VMkernel Swap file in the base directory of your VM (it will have the extension ".vswp") this VMkernel Swap file is a safety net.  Your virtual machine, at this stage, can consume up to 8 GB of memory If physics is available from the host.  If the memory of your host is overcommitted, some of the available memory 8 GB could be allocated on 8 GB VMkernel Swap file.

    If you set a reserve of memory - 2 GB - this means that the vmkernel will still award the first 2 GB of memory used by the virtual machine to the physical memory.  This is not means that the 2 GB of memory reserved is carved off the coast and completely dedicated to the virtual machine.  This means that the vmkernel offers up to 2 GB of RAM to the VM when and if she needs to use it.  It is a guarantee that the memory will be available upon request.  Because of this guarantee of the VMkernel, VMkernel swap file only has to make sure that the 6 GB memory is satisfied (4 GB total less the 2 GB reserved), so the VMkernel Swap file is only 6 GB in size.

    Actions are a mechanism for prioritization and limits are a cap on physical memory ever allocated to the VM.

    You can set up any number of memory for the virtual machines that you want - frankly, overcommitment of memory for ESX is a very good thing, but you must be vigilant about watching your systems if approve you.  If you have 64 GB of RAM, and you only configure your virtual machines to use total 32G, then you lose 32 GB of RAM.  If you allocate, say, 96 GB of RAM (total) to your virtual machines, then you look at a 50% overcommitment.  What to watch in overcommitting memory is application performance (and more importantly - perception of the user of this performance) and also the memory ballooning and VMkernel Swapping activity.  Those who can both will be in graphics performance in VirtualCenter.  I would recommend reading the Guide to management resources for more details.

    Hope that provides an overview.

    Thank you

  • ESX Server timed out when I try to enter the license server in the CR

    Hi all

    I have a problem with the addition of two new ESX servers in our virtual Center.

    Let me give you a brief overview:

    We have 5 servers ESX and virtual Center Server.

    All servers are in a single Cluster (Cluster 01)

    Now, we want to use Virtual Desktop Infrastructure and for this reason, we bought another 2 servers (blades).

    I installed from scratch with ESX 3.5 Update 4.

    I did a second Cluster in our VC (Group 02) and add the two.

    I configured the network settings and storage, everything went very well, shoot when I want to point to our license server, whenever I get an error message from our VC. Operation timed out and my settings when not accepted. No matter if I get the IP address or FULL domain name. BUT I can ping our server to ESX Server licenses, so I'm not sure if this is some sort of DNS issue or not.

    Another note: our first 5 ESX servers where ESX Server Standard license.

    Our new ESX servers where an ESX Server VDI license. I used the CD to install ESX normal, because I have not found any VDI install special files.

    I see all licenses in the Administration view in our VC, so I think our license file is not corrupted.

    Things I've done so far:

    Renewal of license, start stop server, esx Server license installed twice from scratch

    I have no more ideas, I hope someone could help me with this problem.

    According to your image, you have 0 agent licenses virtual centre-left to allocate to new hosts.  What might happen, is that the agent is not properly installed on the new servers.  Connect to ESX servers.  Make sure that you can test the virtual Center by domain name server FULL and hostname, not only by intellectual property.  From your RESUME, ping your esx server fqdn and the host name.

    Also, check the file/etc/hosts on your esx server and make sure that the entries are tiny.
