• Differences between ESXi and Vsphere hipervisor

  Hi guys,.

  I need to understand the difference between ESXI and Vsphere hipervisor.

  Is it correct to say that Vsphere ESX?

  Help will be very useful.

  Thank you very much

  vSphere is the range of products, including (hypervisor) ESX, vCenter (management) etc.

  In comparison, you asked "Is this correct to say that a shoe laces"?  No, not really.  One is a part of the whole.

• change the password for root esxi and esx?

  Hello

  Is there an easy way to change passwords for root of esx esxi via powercli hosts?

  Thank you!!!

  You can use the Set-VMHostAccount cmdlet to change the password of an ESX/ESXi server. Remember that you must connect directly to the host to do.

  SE connect-VIServer-Server ESX1.yourdomain .com - user root - password secret

  Game-VMHostAccount - UserAccount root - password topsecret

• Confused in what I need [ESXi Embedded; ESX Installable; ESX 3.5]

  Hello team.

  Let me explain what I first: I need to run 6 virtual machines and manage these 6 VMs through a single window. I might be able to manage all VMs 6 using the single window (in general-, this could be any application). To manage, I mean, create snapshots, go back, use them as if I had VMware workstation. I don't need any other features. I'm looking in the plug of the machine: Quad core; 8 GB; SATA RAID.

  Now my question is how do I select ESXi Embedded or Installable or standalone ESX. Is there documentation that shows these differences or videos showing what are interfaces?

  I read the difference between ESXi and ESX and it was something citing on linux required for ESX. Does this mean that my whitebox will need Linux installed before that I could install ESX?

  ESXi is barebone architecture, which means, I'll lose admin capabilities?

  You think, with these questions, am confused? Thanks for any help in advance

  Novice user with virtualization - Manny

  Hello Manny,

  In fact, it's the same interface and the program, you use esx and esxi.

  Free ESXi, esx costs money and can do all kinds of magic to keep near 100% availability.

  You will need to have an admin on windows pc to run the VI client from.

  The VI-client (or VMware Infrastructure client) connects to your host, and from there, you can create new guests, create the snapshot, return etc.

  NO, you don't need linux. In fact my esx 3i is booting from a USB key no OS is required on the hard disk.

  I have attached a photo where you can see the interface to manage hosts.

• 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.

• 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/

  Here's the article comparing ESX ESXi vs: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1006543

• ESX, ESXi and vCenter and virtual machines

  Hello all - I need to re - certify my VCP this month so I decided to sit down this weekend to set up a virtual lab.  I managed to get ESX, ESXi and vCenter working all in s vm on my laptop in less than 4 GB.  I use Player version 3 for now.  I have Workstation 6.5 but I have to spend my VCP to get a key of 7 workstations and improve it.

  The manual is a bit long, but here is the link if you are interested.  I'll update everything to Workstation 7 after my review.  I hope that some of you find it useful!

  Nice - Thanks for posting.

  I doubt that you must update for Workstation 7 as VMplayer 3 is nothing else than a torn Workstation 7. It has the same basic functionality.

  So, nothing will be different if you use Workstation

  By the way - Starwind is really nice simulate a San.

  Another interesting thing, that you know may not...

  It is possible to assign up to 8 GB of RAM to your virtual ESXs, even if the host itself has only 4 GB of RAM.

  For this I have

  prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = 'TRUE '.

  prefvmx.minVmMemPct = '5 '.

  in the file config.ini from the host. Do not run and then

  Using this trick, I was able to run 4 ESX virtual machines on my laptop 4 GB RAM running 2 k 3-32 bit host

• Best Linux for host? ... and ESX vs. Workstation

  I've been running VM Workstation since 1999.  I just built a physical machine for my lab at home I want to only run on VMS.  I have two questions.

  What is the best linux for VM Workstation 8 host?

  I went the compatitibility guide at:

  http://PartnerWeb.VMware.com/comp_guide2/search.php?deviceCategory=software & testConfig = 17

  and put:

  Workstation

  8.0

  all the

  all the

  Linux

  Desktop

  64

  and it happens with Mandriva and SUSE.  It's weird.  No Red Hat?  No Ubuntu?  No Debian?  Mandriva is a French company funded by the Russians, which hurts me a little inside, and SUSE is not free.  It makes me wonder if this page is current.

  Which leads to my next question. ... Are there not some hypervisor product that does not even need a host operating system?  What ESX?  I can get all the features of Workstation (snapshots, etc.) with this hypervisor product? ... and of course, I can't spend $2,000 for a lab at home.   It seems to me that to remember that one of these products is free,... was it ESXi?  Can someone explain the differences between the workstation and ESX in a few sentences.  But if I need the version ESX is $2000, then too bad.

  I suppose that, ideally, I would like to install Workstation as a hypervisor (no host operating system).  Is there anyway to achieve this?  What do you suggest me?

  ESXi uses a very minimal video driver - a computer display virtual itself is not possible
  This is why you must use a second physical machine to view virtual machines

  inside the virtual machines, you get only a virtual video card - playing the latest games inside a virtual machine is not possible

  > or that, it cannot run on an i7? ... once again, really?

  This is not correct - do not know who told you that...
  ESXi is very picky when it comes to disk controllers - fake Raids and cheap stuff is not supported - but it will work with normal SATA drives

• Unistalling ESXi & install ESX, what of my virtual machines?

  Hi all

  I think unistalling vSphereHypervisor (ESXi 4.1) and installing vsphere (ESX 4.1) on my home server.

  How to preserve my 8 VMs or backup them?

  In addition, I will win by opting for ESX 4.1?

  At this point, the difference between 4.1 ESX and ESXi 4.1 shrinks, for what you can do through administrative tasks. Get the unit of MAS, and you have more features. With the new ability to remote SSH on ESXi 4.1, you win a lot of what ESX 4.x used to bring to the table (by itself without the need to modify a file of confd ESXi 4)...

  So unless you have tools/software that works only in ESX 4.1, I wouldn't wipe and install ESX 4.1... Firstly, you'll need to do the reverse, when you want to go to the next version. On the other hand, most third party tools have been updated to ESXi 4.1, are being updated, or will be before too long. At least those who actually want to keep their customers running VMware products.

  I moved my VM to a SAN/NAS in my lab at home. It is very handy when I want to update the host, since I can have run them on a temporary host (a good system, using ESXi 4.1 installed on a USB key). Finally, I have at least two hosts in my lab running 24 x 7 so that I can more easily update things. In addition, it will allow me to run several virtual machines at the same time.

• What is the difference between standby and off mode?

  We would like to know what is the Stand of an ESX 4.0 host?

  Is there a difference whether it is in Stand By mode or he was arrested?  I guess the only difference is that an ESX host mode ensure can be started upward with VIC while the judgment cannot?

  Thank you

  Roughly, when the host is in standby mode, it is always in a power off State but you can power it on via WOL (Wake on LAN). The mainly usage case with this feature is integration with VMware DRS and VMware DPM (Distributed Power Management) which allows the cluster hosts to stop that are not actively used to save on power, once it detects a higher load, it will emit power up to guests who are in standby mode after the load.

  Here is an article shows you how to configure DPM to your hosts: http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/virtualization-pro/configuring-distributed-power-management/

• ESXi vs ESX

  With vSphere now out, is there an advantage of the use of ESX to ESXi if we pay taxes for licenses or advanced standards (i.e. are there differences of features or performance that I would not choose ESXi)?

  Nope. .

  ESX full fat has a larger footprint, so uses slightly more resources. and is a little less secure.

  ESXi offers all the features of full fat ESX. . Some argue that there is a difference due to the removal of the service console, but if you wish, you can enable SSH on ESXi (VMware technicians regularly use this SSH on our machines. .even if it's "officially not supported")

  To put your mind at ease, I use exclusively ESXi - I recently attended the beta version for the vSphere fast track and we never used the SC once in a week! It was from 08:00 to 19:00 days and highly concentrated laboratory.

  To be honest, I think that VMware on ly kept the SC for people who are unfamiliar with ESXi and adverse to change.
