• Question about ESX ESXi (for Cist_o ACS 5.2) vs

  Hello world

  Thanks again for your help in advance. I don't know if I can cite another company name in VMWare here so I use "_".

  Currently we want to install Cist_o ACS 5.2, who need ESX3.5 or 4.0. I would like to ask... do you think if I use ESXi instead? Or I have to use directly at ESX (not i)?

  Also, I try to buy a Del_ server... for this purpose, and I can not want to install several Windows 2003/2008 for the application, the domain controller, print servers. What type of processor and RAM would you recommend (for a performance so so)?

  Finally, what is the difference between license and without license for ESX and ESXi respectively?

  Thank you very much for your help.

  You can talk about Cisco

  You can not just replace with ESX ESXi - they are built on a different Foundation for the service console, which would probably not ACS funciton properly.  Contact cisco for the future on it, as all future versions of ESX (including the v5, the current version) are the 'i' version only.

  For the dell, its 100% depedent workload server.  If you have only a few users (less to, say 50), more a base quadcore with ~ 12 GB of RAM should be sufficient.

  ESXi is only available with a free license.  Here is the FAQ on the differences:

• Best way to go to ESX ESXi

  I installed ESX 4 Trail on a host with the intentions to throw some virtual machines on it for testing only.   Of

  course always go as non-scheduled plans for the finished VMS used long term testing.  The trial of

  ESX expires soon, so I start looking into my options for this configuration.

  We have a different configuration of ESX 3.5 with 3 guests and an iSCSI SAN shared storage environment.   We do not have

  have an immediate plan to upgrade this 4.0 but will appear in the next quarter or two, I hope.

  My question is what would be the best plan to move that 3 VMs on I have currently on the ESX 4 4i ESX host in the interim until I have install

  4 on the production environment.

  I tried to use the VM converter for V7 V4 to hardware to run on ESX 3.5 hosts, but it caused a lot of disk

  questions for windows that I have been unable to correct.

  My understanding is that installation on ESX ESXi will wipe away all my outgoing partitions that will be deleted.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  There are two options, depending on your environment.

  What you basically have to do is to restore backup (with a few options) virtual machines.

  1.) If you have enough space on your iSCSI storage space, move the virtual machine to your storage space. Install ESXi and attach it to the iSCSI storage.

  (2) in the case of a server and you have a little empty bays for HARD drives, add a new example RAID1 group, make primary to boot from, the ESXi installation and joining the existing data store "old."

  3.) temporarily add an another HARD drive, copy of the VM on the HARD drive using the data store Navigator. Install ESXi and copy the virtual machine on the new data store.

  4.) backup and restore the virtual computer.

• Compaired to ESX ESXi what are the limits of the differences of ESXi?

  So, we have a great investment in ESX Server and now VMware released ESXi for free.

  From what I've read I can't find all the differences other than the COS.

  Is can someone please tell me why I wouldn't move to ESXi and lean on it when it's free and the support is less than half the price, it's on ESX?

  I don't see anything about the ability of VCB with ESXi, DRA/HA functionality still intact when used with vCenter?

  Today in the cost conscious times a penny saved is a good thing... Or is it!

  Anyone who had seen the differences and limitations between ESX and ESXi, I would greatly appreciate feedback...

  Take a look at this article which links Duncan to: http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2008/09/02/esx-vs-esxi/

• Change the path information for ESX ESXi hosts to access

  Hello all! I hope you guys can help me.

  I have about 47 hosts that I need to change it Round Robin storage path information. If I make the change in vCenter and restart the host it again changing fixed. So, I thought that I should change it to the level of the host through esxicli.

  I have about twice as many LUNS of the Hitachi SAN. I'd like to see if it is possible to make the change in all areas, in some way, or I need to make the change by host? Also, is there anything that I need to change sides San so that it works or not.

  I saw this VMware KB: modification of path information for ESX/ESXi hosts to access and assume that it is the best plan? But did not know of all put into custody, if necessary, that everyone ran to when doing this?

  You will need to make the change by the host and the KB you'll find is the right method.

• How many ways to update host ESX/ESXi

  To my understanding there are 3 ways of updating ESX/ESXi host.

  • VMware Update Manager
  • VMware host utility update
  • vihostupdate

  
  

  VUM - update host, vm, vApps and models (this one I'm sure)

  VMware host update utility - only update the host?

  vihostupdate - can do the same thing as VUM and the only difference is that it is a command line interface?

  
  

  Is there a VMware document that I can read on this.  I ask this because I am preparing for the VCP 4 exam.  At the place I work, we use vSphere 5 and we don't have never upgrade from 3.x to vSphere 4.

  
  

  Thanks for the pointers and have a nice day.

  
  

  Anthony.

  Even if the differences are rated you always want to go with the mist release current which the VCP exam covers - so the 4.1 update guide -.

• Comments about "VMware KB: verification of the deprivation of resources of the ESX/ESXi Service Console ' (1003496)

  Hi and happy 2012!

  Is the title of the article VMware 1003496 KB (Knowledge Base) - http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003496 - "VMware KB: verification of the deprivation of resources of the ESX/ESXi Service Console" (article updated May 16, 2011). A better title might be "VMware KB: searching for deprivation of resources of the Console of the ESX Service / ESXi Tech Support Mode" since ESXi does not have a "Service Console".
  Article also mentions in ESXi running the command "top":
  " (...) ESX/ESXi includes the top utility to be able to check the use of the resources on the service console. (...)"
  " (...)  To check the use of the methods on the service console:
  1. Sign in to your service console of the ESX host as root from a SSH session or directly from the console of the server.  If you connect ESXi Support mode.
  2. Type back to top ."

  
  
  However, if you enable the Remote Tech Support Mode (SSH) in ESXi (at least in ESXi 4.1 Update 1) - similar to a "Service Console" - the 'top' command seems to not be available:
  ~ # top
  -Ash: top: not found
  
  
  ~ # find /-iname high
  ~ #
  On the other hand, the article could have mentioned "esxtop" which is available in 'ESXi' (at least in ESXi 4.1 Update 1):
  ~ # find /-iname esxtop

  / sbin/esxtop
  I hope this information is useful. I propose that this article (1003496) is updated accordingly.
  Thank you!

  Ricardo, we have updated the article to take account of the ESX Classic only.

  Kind regards

• Other system files as VMFS on ESX/ESXi

  Hello

  Anyone know if it is possible or not to use a different file system VMFS on ESX/ESXi?

  So I was able to mount the file system on a Linux machine. (Either by the presence of a Clusterfilesystem as OCFS, GFS or removing the LUN of the ESX and mount it to a machine DIF).

  I also tried a Linux VMFS driver, but it seems that there is only a pilot experimental, read-only, which seems to be not refined.

  the local is VMFS but then if it's about connected remotely, it can be NFS

• Aproove and deploy to production error

  Hello
  
  When I tried to move to Aproove and deploy into production the following error has occurred.
  
  Impossible to approve the project 'project name' for the deployment. Could not get exclusive locks of deployment of one or more assets. The assets that are locked by other projects must be unlocked before you try to deploy this project.
  
  --
  JK

  This means that assets you want to deploy is also in another project whose 'Production Deployment check' is not finished or other projects came out before starting this project.

  So either complete the final step of these projects or delete assets of this project or deploy this project.

• Map of ESX/ESXi DRS/HA/FT-UCS M71KR - Nexus 1000

  Hi all

  I have a doubt about the configuration of ESX/ESXi in congiunction with ucs years n1k.

  If I use the channel (mac-pinning based due to material ucs) on n1k and I have only two NIC (M71KR) card can I properly configure FT/HA or DRS.

  having a port-channel vmware is informed of nic ha? I may have some redundant warning as a note to management interface or stuff like that?

  any idea of?

  TNX

  Dan

  Dan,

  We work with the DRS, FT and HA. You will be able to configure a Port-Channel with MAC-pinning and always use DRS, the FT and HA feature.

  To create the channel port, you must add the two network interface cards to the DVS in a perspective of VMware is aware that you have redundancy NIC.

• Objective 7.1 - guarantee the issue of ESX/ESXi hosts

  Hey all,.

  I am currently working on my study guide for the DCA review and have fallen somewhat with the ESX/ESxi Secure objective 7.1 hosts and more specifically the section for "Customize SSH Seetings for increased security. The only documentation I could find about it is in the "ESX Configuration Guide" on page 202 and the VMware KB 1017910. In ESX config guide details how to REDUCE the requirements of security on default (allowing root access, change the version of the SSH protocol, etc.), and the article explains how to set a timeout for the technical support of Mode (both local and remote). I guess these aren't the types of answers they seek, as the section is to increase the level of security.

  Any clarification or possilbe advice that anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated.

  TIA,
