Cluster license SRM only 1 in a data center

Hello

I am using proc license at the moment and in vCenter by I have a data center with 2 groups. One of the clusters is protected with SRM and the other has no protected VMs.

However, I can't license SRM as it tries to concede the two groups (both are listed as computing resources in the SRM inventory) and tell me I have insufficient licenses. I've only licenses for Cluster 1, as it is the only one with protected VM. Is it possible to exclude Cluster 2.

Thank you

I think that your new installation of MIS 4.1 expects you to enter by VM license key, that's why you get an error.

You have two options:

1. convert your vm socket key. Before you do, make sure that you get enough licenses to protect the whole of the VMs. rate Convertion is 1 socket to 5 VMs. BTW, you will not be able to buy other licenses taken by if you want to expand your cluster.

2 contact VMware support. They managed to solve the problem which is very similar to yours: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1656134#1656134

  • Virtual data center provider and Clusters of calculation ESXi

    I have 5 ESXi compute clusters, each with 10 ESXi servers in them.  Can I have more than one virtual data center provider for a single ESXi Compute Cluster?

    A links of virtual data center (pVDC) provider of a simple installation resources pool.  As many times as the list of resources is a list of resources of a ROOT cluster, but it doesn't have to be.

    You can extend your pVDC with "elastic pVDC" and the provider of a link to several resource pools (careful with this, you can not just move resources from one to the other to release one later)

  • License SRM question

    I have 3 x ESX hosts in my recovery site each with 4 CPU sockets (12 in total). Those that reside in the same cluster.

    I only bought 8 licenses SRM as resources for the protected virtual machine is quite low.

    To make sure that I am within my tolerance of license I only present storage replicated containing VMS protected against 2 of the ESX host.

    However, I see in the event log, the following message appears:

    "The SRM_PROTECTED_HOST of function SRM is more allocated by 4 licenses.

    So my question is: how MRS. knows which ESX hosts in a cluster license?

    It is not, it assumes that the entire cluster is used for MRS. By also replicated LUNS to only half of the cluster is not recommended, and something I would never recommend because the results of HYALURONIC acid launched restart is unpredictable.

  • Can I automate creating a cluster in LabView using the structure of data created in a generated automatically. CSV, C header or XML file?

    Can I automate creating a cluster in LabView using the data structure created in an auto generated. CSV, C header or XML file?  I am trying to take the data structure defined in one or more of these files listed and have LabView automatically create a cluster with structure types and the same data.  (Ideally, I would like to do it with a C header file only.)  Basically, I'm trying to avoid having to create the cluster by hand, as the number of cluster elements could be very large. I looked in EasyXML and contacted the rep for the add-on.  Unfortunately, this feature was not created yet.  Did anyone done something like this before? Thanks in advance for the help.


  • Need to create a report across data center that summarizes each cluster

    I created a few reports of various kinds, layers to multiple views and used filters for will only display me specific data.  However, I don't find a way to summarize or failure, a report by a resource of the child.

    To be precise, I'm looking to get information about the data at the data center or vCenter level stores, grouped by cluster.  Currently, I can obviously pull 53 different reports and getting these data on a per-cluster basis, but I want to be able to do is have a summary of each cluster in a single report.  Currently, the report is perfectly functional vcenter down to a host, but it displays each individual data store and the summary only I can give is all grouped together, and is not an indication that data warehouses are in clusters.

    Is there a way to do this?

    I would like that the report looks simply:

    Data Center

    Group 1

    Data warehouses

    Summary

    Group 2

    Data warehouses

    Summary

    and so on...

    I am currently on vROps 6.1.

    You can do things with the summary views and the bubble to the top a few statistics by using Supermetrics in some cases, but the possibilities for nesting are today a bit limited in terms of nesting of data visually in views. Of data are what kind of data from the warehouses you trying to show?

  • Data center or a Cluster

    Can I create a data center or a cluster? I have 2 computers esxi 5 managed by vcenter. They have about 5-7 VM s between the 2. If these two machines to put in a cluster basically makes like a machine, allowing them to share resources and enabling HA. Then you would want all your machines to esxi on 1 domain under a cluster, which allows you a lot more resources? If that's true then why you just want to add a machine data Center? As I understand it, this seems a waste of resources to me. I'm trying to understand the best config for my domain.  Can you help me understand?

    If you want / need HA and DRS, you use the cluster option.    We wanted only Vmotion and Svmotion so we have never activated HA or DRS so we just add our hosts data Center.

  • Licenses of Microsoft and VMware data center

    Hello

    You have a question regarding Microsoft Licensing and VMware ESX hosts.

    We have a Microsoft School Agreement and a lot of our windows servers are running standard edition. One is business running. All about the physical servers.

    We are virtualizing some of our Windows servers and schools prices are very favourable if we buy a license of data center. Its about £70 and it means that we can run an unlimited number of Microsoft server VM in VMware. relation to the enterprise which is only £5 cheaper, but only allows you to run a maximum of 4 people.

    Question, I realized that a Windows license for data center would be per processor, so if I have 2 physical processorsin each esx host, I need to get 2 X Datacenter license per ESX host, is - that correct?

    If I bought 6 data center licenses (3 ESX host with 2 physical processors in each), what version of Windows server can be used, I understand his only standard or Premium, can anyone confirm this? It also covers Windows XP?

    Thank you

    Fix.

    License from Microsoft Windows Server 2008 to run with Virtualization Technologies

    Page 13:

    Instead of license servers with enough licenses Windows Server 2008 Standard to satisfy the greatest number of simultaneously running instances of Windows Server, the processors in servers could be allowed with Windows Server 2008, Datacenter Edition. This would allow an unlimited number of instances of Windows Virtual Server to run simultaneously in operating systems. Because the servers have two processors, two licenses of Windows Server 2008, Datacenter Edition for each server should be. Licenses of Windows Server 2008, Datacenter Edition provides the flexibility to move instances of Windows Server without concern to maintain the license compliance.

    > If I bought 6 data center licenses (3 ESX host with 2 physical processors in each), what version of Windows server can be used, I understand his only standard or Premium, can anyone confirm this? It also covers Windows XP?

    Anton is correct - Datacenter license covers only the OS Server.

  • My 2 TB TC is full and will not back up. Yet, I have only 1 TB of data on my laptop. Note that I've reformatted the laptop since the last backup with a clean installation of El Capitan.

    My 2 TB Time Capsule is full and will not save. Yet, I have only 1 TB of data on my laptop. Note that I've reformatted the laptop since the last backup with a clean installation of El Capitan.

    I bought a 2 TB external hard and have used Time Machine to back up. But I also use my time Capsule, which I save wireless.

    Any suggestions on getting my TC back up?

    One suggestion would be to copy all existing backups that are now on the Time Capsule 2 TB hard disk. Then, clear the TC and start over again with new backups.

    A more expensive option... assuming you want to keep all old backups on the TC... would be to add a new TC and start backups goes in this direction.

    Another option... If you do not need to keep all old backups now on the TC... would be to erase the TC and start over again with new backups. The benefit of doing this would be that no new material will be necessary, but the downside would be that you lose your old backup history.

  • I need my Vi to save only one point of data every 30 seconds

    Hello

    I have trouble getting my VI to make only one point of data every 30 seconds. I collect a couple and the temperature. If you take a look at the queue of lvm, you will see that I have two data points every 30 seconds. I want only the VI to take one. I can do this by going to the DAQ assistant and change the mode of acquisition of N samples 1-sample (on request), but if I do this I am not able to see my couple of graph in real time.  In addition the VI takes data about every 30 seconds. Is there a way I can strengthen this also?

    1. change your graph of couple to be a graph.  A graph has a history associated with him, so he keeps old values in a circular buffer for you.  A chart shows just the last thing written in it.

    2. change your sample of Compression to be 64.  It is currently set at 30, which means that you will end up with 2 samples in your data.  That's why you write 2 samples when write you it.

  • Report on the use of data store based on cluster (not data center)

    Hello

    I want to create separate HTML reports for each cluster I have in my virtual Center. I've created a script, but it doesn't seem to work.

How can I separate them with regard to the cluster in which they are assigned to the place?

Let's assume that the hosts have the same port group name (but have virtual swaitch different type), in the same data center, and have the same subnet IP vMotion.

    Yes, it is safe to rename these object types - Evo uses values of managed reference numbers (moref) object for the object of theses types - so that they are safe rename...
