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?

This request may have been addressed above, can someone point me to the thread?

  • 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 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.

  • 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...

  • ESX and ESXi

    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

    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.

  • Difference between 'Reload' and "Reload (Override Cache)"?

    Https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly#w_navigation, what is the difference between 'Reload' and "Reload (Override Cache)"? What makes "ignore cache"?

    Reloading Web pages and cache bypass aims to obtain a new copy of perhaps obsolete or damaged files currently stored in the disk cache.
    You can do it like the first attempt if a normal charging does not seem to provide a version of a Web site or if you are having problems with a Web site otherwise.

    We usually have advice that if you have questions:

    Reload Web pages and ignore the cache to refresh potentially stale or corrupt.

    • Hold down the SHIFT key and click the Reload button
    • Press 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + Shift + R' (Windows, Linux)
    • Press 'Command + shift + R' (Mac)

    Clear the cache and delete cookies only from Web sites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":

    • Firefox/tools > Options > advanced > network > content caching Web: 'clear now '.

    'Delete Cookies' sites causing problems:

    • Firefox/tools > Options > privacy > "Use the custom settings for history" > Cookies: "show the Cookies".

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if an extension or theme (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problems.
