Difference between ESX and ESXi in production?
Hello
I was asked to meet my client from my manager what difference does it make if I used ESX or ESXi in our world of production.
Except I can't think of a logical reason to use on ESX ESXi... Any ideas please?
Thanks in advance!
PS - I know the basic difference between these two have read a few articles, but nothing gives me a practical reason to choose ESXi.
Since reliese the Service Console on ESX - which is based on RHEL - the reason that VMware moves to only ESXi is it eliminates the need to patch the Service Console and makes it more secure host.

Differences between ESX and ESXi
Hai,
As I am new to VI environment I doubt that where features ESX and ESXi are different, it may be stupid but can help me a lot.
Hello
Please check the link to the differences between ESX and ESXi below.
http://www.VMware.com/products/vSphere/ESXi-and-ESX/compare.html
Please note ESX is present in version 3.x, 4.x. starting vsphere 5.0, we have only ESXi.
ESXi doesnot have a service console and has the smallest footprint of 70 MB and so is safer and more reliable, because it has a smaller surface set.
Please allow points if you find the article useful.
Thank you

difference between ESX and ESXi
I would like to know the difference between ESXi and ESX with regard to the granting of licences and ease of management with vCenter. Are there features that are not available in ESXi, but available in ESX. Why VMware introduce ESXi free?

Firewall between ESX and vCenter vLAN &; Production vLAN
Hello
Scenario:
2 ESX hosts with Teddy bear 6. 2 to vLAN S.C. & VMotion, 2 to vLAN DMZ and 2 for the Production of vLAN.
There are 2 pSwitches to battery-Mode Cluster, having 4 VLANS.
Production of vLAN1
vLAN2 DMZ
Service vLAN3 console
vLAN4 VMotion
Connectivity is fine no problem. All VLAN works them very well. Service console and VMotion they fold each other so pSwitch failure failure or Teddy bear.
Requirements:
Service console is connected in vLAN3 which is 172.16.20.0/24 network under vSwitch0 contains 2pNICs & 3 exchanges. Service Console PortGroup, VMotion PortGroup & vCenter PortGroup. vCenter PortGroup I want to place the VirtualCenter VM & I'll put the virtual computer's firewall.
Currently, the Center Virtual under vCenter PortGroup, which is 172.16.20.55. Communication to ESX all very well.
How I connect to VirtualCenter & ESX host while I am putting in the Production vLAN? I added a static Route in my P.C. 172.16.20.0 to go via 128.104.145.149 "this is the IP address pSwitch" I connect very well without any problems. Of course that does not protect the farm ESX and virtual Center.
I want to secure the connection between the Production vLAN & Console of service of VMotion vLAN & get rid of the Static Route in the computers in the Admin.
Bypass the Options:
Physics MS ISA Server with 2 natachasery one be connected in the vCenter PortGroup & to be connected in the Production vLAN & open ports to demand it.
Physical firewall of Teddy 2 a be connected in the vCenter PortGroup & to be connected in the Production vLAN and open ports require.
Virtual Firewall 'SmoothWall or ISA Server' with 2 teddy bears that are connected in the vCenter PortGroup & to be connected in the Production vLAN and open ports require.
Please take a look at the diagram attached & tips.
Best regards

Hello
On your diagram, I would change your colors. Orange traditionally involves a DMZ not green, but it is up to you. I use Smoothwall for exactly the same behavior.
Network <-> pNIC1 <-> vSwitch1 <-> vFW (smoothwall) <-> DMZ Network ....................................................<-> Green Network
If your front firewall controls access to everything. You can use 'two' firewalls so if you just want to have a set of Red<->Green Networks. On the first, the Red network is outside, green is the demilitarized zone, in the second, red is the demilitarized zone and the ESX hosts are green.
To grant access to your ESX hosts from a system outside the firewall, you must enable and redirect port 443 to the appropriate location. In fact, I wouldn't do that, create a virtual machine or physical box that is inside the firewall, use the VPN and OpenVPN Tarek Smoothwall addon in the internal location or create a pinhole that allows RDP access to this host/VM and then use the VIC of in the "green network". You must put the kingpins holes in your firewall to grant access you need, so a VPN works much better. You want to limit the number of holes of PIN you use.->
What you describe is quite feasible, but without the holes of the kingpins and proper routing through the firewall is not possible.

Switching between ESX and ESXi
I currently have 3 servers with 1 running an Openfiler SAN with my VM on them. I have on the other 2 servers what ESX installed on SATA hard drives. Now I want to install ESXi on a USB pen because of the license of the ESX trial and wanting a more permanent Setup for my lab at home (still need to study ESX on and wasting his time with for my VCP I intend to take in 2011). I want to put in place a system dual boot where I can either start in ESX or ESXi. My question is if I say a VM in ESX I'll be able to see that VM in ESXi or vice versa (or at least be able to import them)?
Cheers for any help.
Yes, you can, as long as the ESX or ESXi the can access the openfiler VMFS (you may need to represent as the IQN name would change after). Browse the data store > folder VM - > right click on the vm - name.vmx and save the virtual machine. Maximum power and there you go...

What are the fundamental differences between ESX and ESXi. Someone could it say please interview point of view. Just need about 4 to 5 differences.
Thank you
Prashant
The difference between ESX and ESXi, ESX was the classic version with a dedicated Service console embarked with him, however, ESXi is the version of Vsphere without the Console service. Because ESXi is without the service console, so its size is very small and its called summer have footprint small disc. With the release of VSphere VMware 5.0 and later versions has deprecated the classic ESX version there is therefore no now unavailable ESX and we only ESXi now.

DRS cluster: You can mix 4.1 ESX and ESXi 4.1?
Not very complext, but we have a DRS cluster of 8 hosts x 3850 of IBM on ESX 4.1 and we will upgrade them both to ESXi 4.1 update 1. There will be questions mixing a cluster of ESX and ESXi servers?
Yes, 100% supported! both are the same hypervisor, so you should have no problem running in the same cluster. After all it is the best way to do a upgrade spread, and how we made our move between ESX and ESXi.

Difference between Esx v 2 and 3 and ESX 2.5 and 3.5
Hello
I want to know the differences between ESX V.2 and 3 and ESX 2.5 and 3.5. can someone help me on respect.
Karthik.
Hello
The biggest difference between ESX 2.x and 3.x is how the virtualization of the boots as well as configurations of network virtual host.
In ESX 2.x booted Linux then VMware took control.
In ESX 3.x VMware started then place the unit of management within a virtual machine started.
ESXi boots the vmkernel then starts a Posix environment in the vmkernel.
The book of VMware ESX Server in the enterprise passes over these differences in a bit of detail, if you are interested.

Store of data sharing between 4 ESX and ESXi 5
Hello
I have a vSphere environment 4.1 with a vCenter and a cluster of 3 ESX 4.1 access to the content of data through fiberchanel (type scneario) warehouses.
And now I need to install a new ESXi 5.x (cannot be a different version) in a separate environment, outside of the current vCenter, BUT to access the warehouses of data even as the cluster of vSphere 4 current.
Anyone know if there should be no problem sharing between 4 ESX and ESXi 5 access to the same data storage?
Thanks in advance
As long as the FC zoning is configured properly, avoid all the problems. ESXi 5 will be able to see the data created by ESX4 VMFS3 stores, it will not be able to create the same size of virtual machine he can on a 5 VMFS datastore.

What is the difference between nc6320 and nx6320 laptops?
Can I use the same drivers for each of them?
Hello:
There is not much difference.
If you want to compare all the details you can check this link:
http://h18000.www1.HP.com/products/QuickSpecs/12428_div/12428_div.PDF
You can probably use the same drivers for either, but they all have both their own support pages and separate driver.

What is the difference between OCÉ and (OCP and OCS)
What is the difference between ECAS and (OCP or OCS).
For example, I heard that OCS helps with the language
and the marketing of a product.
Could this be true as ECAS focuses on how to do things.
and not so much things to a much higher level.
For example, how do you set up, how you use it, how do you start, etc.
Thank you Roger
Roger,
OCÉ Doghouse more. These certifications can be more CERT of intermediate or high level certificates. These were specifically developed for the gaps in the certification that did not match our OCA, OCP, hierarchy of the CMO.
Generally, the CERT of the OCS tend to focus more on implementation. These certificates have been developed for the Oracle PartnerNetwork for areas of certification which specifically serve Oracle partners and qualify them for levels of specialization. These certifications are available for all candidates, but are directed towards members of OPN.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards
