Certificates on ESXi free edition

I use the free version of ESXi 4.1 on a box of spares for a test environment.  Since the vCLI/vMA does read-only for ESXi free edition, how can I replace the SSL certificate with those signed by a certification authority?  I tried to use curl to PUT files to the server (page 172 of the Guide of the ESXi Setup), but it gives me a 403 forbidden error.  The curl command I used was:

$ cat rui.key: curl - verbose - insecurity - u root: REDACTED-t-- https://ESXi.local/host/ssl_key

Any thoughts out there of experts?

Kind regards

Chris

You can enable ssh & to use scp protocol for transferring files (winscp, fastscp...)

  • Save the VMDK on ESXi - Free Edition?

    Hello. I am running ESXi Hypervisor (latest version) on a HP Server with two internal disks running in a RAID 1 configuration. In other words, there is * no. * SAN or external hard disk in question.

    I use this for a smaller customer. I have a couple of servers virtualized on this configuration.

    What I would do is save it. VMDK file (and all other files needed to run the copied virtual machine) or an other desktop computer running ESXi or a USB external hard drive so that, if the HP server crashed, I could easily put the. VMDK in the right directory and load the operation system Windows Server for my customer.

    I get VSphere, the paid version, this is thanks to its built-in features, i.e., VMotion, etc.. I'm doing this work with the free ESXi.

    My question is, does anyone know of software that will:

    1. either save the VMDK and other necessary files on a basis that is timed to another computer or device.

    and/or

    2. save the VMDK in real-time as well as to the * all time * the second VMDK file is updated and ready to go?

    I check with Veritas to see if their software for it. I did copy a VMDK today as a test and admit that I'm perplexed as to how it works.

    How can I copy a VMDK is used and running an Active Server? My boyfriend and I thought that this has something to do with a "shadow copy" effect of some sort. If someone wants to explain that I would appreciate it a lot.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    You can use something like ghettoVCB http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8760 to create clones of virtual machines on a calendar. Many/most/nearly every commercial application requires access to the VMware APIs that are not available with the free hypervisor. Packages such as Platespin and Doubletake which could reproduce between readers, but could cost more that you could want. You can use tools like rsysnc that can replicate themselves, but not sure you would have a totally consistent replica. A regular clone would probably be the best option by using the script free ghetto.

  • Upgrade to ESXi free edition to the essential

    I bought VmWare Essentials.  I have 3 guests that I need to upgrade.  2 guests have ESXi 4.0 and 1 host ESXi 4.1.  I downloaded and installed the Vcenter server on a Windows 2003 64-bit, Server server and do not know what steps I have to take for my host machines.  I host machines begin from an internal USB drive and then all the VMS sit on a RAID5 with 2 data warehouses.  I want to assure you that I will not lose one of my virtual machines.  My question is just to install the new key license or do I have to download 4.1 and reinstall the USB?  Any help would be greatly appreciated so that I am using what I bought.

    The addition of the license key is all that is necessary. You will lose all data.

  • ESXi 4.0 and 4.1 Free Edition and Jumbo frames

    Hello everyone.

    Happy new year.

    Please can someone answer my question.

    Extended frames are not supported in the free ESXi 4.0 edition

    This is discussed here.

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1012454

    Are they supported in ESXi 4.1 Free Edition or should I upgrade to Essentials?

    Thank you very much

    Extended frames are supported in ESXi 4.1. http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1023990 just not in the free version, at least through the vCLI.

  • ESX i4 free edition to manage by VCenter 5.5

    Hey,.

    I've got ESX server free edition 4.1 and I recently bought essential kit of ESX.

    I want to update my esx server, but first back up all my virtual machines.

    is it possible to do except turn off the virtual machines?

    I thought to add the host as it is (free edition) to vcenter 5.5 and their cloning of virtual machines, but no luck with that, is it possible at all?

    Thanks for the help!

    Alon

    Oh right sorry, forgot that, as he used to work with free ESXi earlier

    During the upgrade, there is not a single were you can really do something wrong:

    It will ask you to upgrade or new install.

    The pre-selected and correct answer is "upgrade and preserve the VMFS datastore ', so that your virtual machines them will not be deleted.

  • ESXi (free) 4.1-> 5.1 upgrade?

    I currently have (installable, unincorporated) ESXi hypervisor 4.1 FREE edition with a license that had been generated by a person (no access to this account of people more)

    First of all, I want to upgrade to the latest 5.1 ESXi (hypervisor ONLY).

    1. the ESXi 5.1 is still available for free download?

    2. can I put my Server 4.1 existing "on-site" machine 5.1 without losing my configs? (I think it's possible)

    3. I have a free trial period of 60 days where I can use the advanced features such as the API management with write capabilities?

    4. I can then buy an essential Kit and making my 5.1 trial permanent newly converted (with vCenter management as available with Essestial)

    Thank you

    1. you can register for a free license of ESXi VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) 5

    2. basically, Yes. ESXi 5 allows interactive upgrades from the CD. Make sure that your hardware is supported. (http://www.vmware.com/go/hcl)

    3. I'm not sure if an upgrade will be renewed the evaluation period. I think that it will not. However, you could just rin "(starry VMFS) Install" and save the virtual machines again to the inventory after re-configuration of the host.

    4. Yes, you can change the license key. The binaries are the same for free and paid edition.

  • -OS - how host can be installed in ESXi FREE?

    Hello

    Please forgive me, it's maybe a stupid question, but I'm not familiar with VMware.

    According to titled question this discussion is:

    -OS - how host can be installed in ESXi FREE?

    Whit another word, can be installed on the same ESXi FREE more than a BONE and make this race at the "same time"?

    Or is the FREE edition that is designed to run only one Instance at a time?

    I know that most host on the same physical server required Memomy large and more a physical processor.

    Question:

    How many maximum CPU and physical RAM are supported on ESXi FREE? Correct is the FREE load up to 8 GB of RAM?

    TIA

    Antonio

    If I am mistaken, there is no limitation on access to storage in the free edition, other than the restriction that applies to all editions.

  • VCenter Server with VMWare ESXi free 5 5

    Hi all

    Test the VCenter Server 5 Evaluation (60 day trial) to management all my 5 of VMWare ESXi (free license). It works with restrictions. These restrictions aren´t a problem for me. I need only to move (power off of virtual machines), clone, create templates for and organize my servers in a single interface VSphere Client. So, I would like to know what type of license of VCenter Server 5 woks if VMWare ESXi 5 free. Buy the VCenter Server 5 Standard?

    Another doubt is if VStorage works with VMWare ESXi free license I.

    Best regards

    Fabio Sobral

    Unfortunately the free ESXi hosts in vCenter management is not possible (except for the eval). The hosts of ESXi need a vCenter Server Agent license that is only available in editions 'paid' of ESXi.

    Hello

    If a free edition installation ESXi 5 on a HP DL380 G7 with 2 (total of 12 cores) processors and 32 GB of RAM I will be able to use all the material?

    Or to use all the material that I have to buy and use a paid version?

    Thanks in advance

    So with the free license, I can use the processors and 32 GB of RAM. What I can't do, is approve the memory, right?

  • target drive more disk space during installation of AVG free edition 2011.

    I tried to install AVG free edition 2011 on my laptop, but when it comes to the last part of the "target disk space drive" installation appears.there are plenty of space on the C drive and also enough space on my other hard drive, but it does not give me the option to import in this player. help on this issue would be greatly appreciated

    Hello

    I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the AVG edition free 2011 from AVG Web site. This should solve the problem.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
