  • The free version of ESXi 4.0 is that it certified EAL4?

    Hi all

    I installed the free version of ESXI 4.0 on server Fujutsu S300, I want to know that the free version of ESXi 4.0 is certified EAL4 or not.

    and I need to see the difference between the free version and the retail version.

    Thank you

    have you seen the blog below. If free or paid, the hypervisor is the same.  Licenensig unlocks / locks features, no security.

  • Should what Management Interface I use for the free version of ESXi

    I plan on the implementation of the free version of ESXi on a server with Intel VT technology.

    I have a management interface for my free version of ESXi.

    I was told by someone that I need to manage VSphere.

    I can just purchse VSphere and should be fully compatible with the free ESXi?

    If so, should what version of VSphere I buy?

    What are my alternatives to a manageable GUI that won't cost too much? (I intend to manage only 5 virtual machines on the ESXi server)

    Thanks in advance!

    When you download the VI client from the http:// you the Virtual Infrastructure Client GUI.  Not a powershell environment.  See attached screenshot.

  • How can I obtain a license for the free version of ESXi?

    Where can I obtain a license for the free version? I installed ESXi 6 and it asks me to enter a license key.

    I tried to follow these instructions , but I don't see the option for requestion a license for my type of installation.

    That's what I'm running: VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.0.0-2494585.x86_64-Dell_Customized-A00.iso


    Thank you.

    You can get the license of VMware site as described on the blog post that you posted above, because there is no different license for OEM ISOs.

  • The free version of ESXI 5 can do grouping

    We are a small engineering company planning on buying 2 servers in a rack mount with two processors and had planned to start with the free version of VMware and then passing to the paid version in a year.  The free version can do the grouping with the servers with many CPU sockets?

    Sorry if this question has already been asked but I'm new to the site, and we expect the purchase soon.

    Sincerely,

    KHeinz

    Hello and welcome to the Forums!

    In order to consolidate the ESX host, you'll need vcenter but also of shared storage.  So, no you cannot cluster 2 hypervisor (ESXi) ESX hosts.

  • The processor affinity still works in the free version of ESXi 4?

    I have a small question: right now I'm playing the trial version of ESXi 4.0 and I also use the processor affinity.

    The processor affinity is always supported once the evaluation period has expired?

    Peet

    The processor affinity is available in the entire edition, but it will be disabled on a cluster of VMotion.

  • Reinstall the free version of VMware ESXi

    Hello world

    It probably is really stupid question, we have a spare Dell break and it has the free version of ESXi installed on it... can I re - install the free version and win another 60 days with her trail?

    Any information would be greatly appreciated...

    Hello world

    Finally managed to re - install the ESXi, down from GParted live disk and deleted volumes and reinstalled ESXi ESXi again... There must be an easier way to do this, can not believe the ESXi installer doesn't have an option to format hard disks and reinstall from scratch once again... surely, Miss me something here that is, once someone has installed ESXi There is no easy way for someone else to come along and reinstall the software to access all the features for 60 days...   Sounds crazy

  • Free version of ESXi 4.1 CPU with 8 cores

    Hello

    I would like some advice on the question of whether the free version of ESXi 4.1 supports servers with 4 CPU core CPU 8, because I find some contradictory documents on some he said supports only 6 core CPU and not 8. Can someone advise or confirm.

    I think the EULA may need to be clarified.  If we ignore free ESXi for awhile, this document - https://www.vmware.com/download/eula/multicore.html - suggests that it's OK to run vSphere Standard for example on processors with 12 cores.   I only give 2 CPUs per physical CPU licenses as each license would cover only 6 of the 12 hearts.  Here is the example that includes the document

    > Example: A customer has already purchased vSphere Enterprise license. Remember that each license of vSphere Enterprise can be deployed on a > processor with up to 6 cores. However, the customer now wants to use these licenses on a newly acquired server with processor with 12 cores. > The client has two options:

    > Upgrade from the company of vSphere vSphere Enterprise Plus license, which provides a right to 12 strands and extra GOLD

    > 2 two vSphere Enterprise licenses for each processor with 12 cores.

    It would not appear that vSphere 6 basic editions are hard coded to ignore carrots on it 6 but rather you must just the correct license in place.  With ESXi free since you can register an unlimited number (99 I think?)  processors and in essense, you have enough licenses processors to double for each physical processor.  It would not be what they want and it can be "fixed" in the future, but I'm not sure it would be a EULA violation vSphere.  The doc covers products 'vSphere '.

    This affect which products VMware?

    > This strategy affects the VMware vSphere products i.e. vSphere Essentials, vSphere Essentials Plus, vSphere Standard, Enterprise vSphere, vSphere > advanced and vSphere Enterprise Plus

    so maybe they need to clarify their position for free ESXi.

  • Help - what is and what is not available in free version of ESXi 3.5 U4?  VIMA?  VI Toolkit?

    Hello

    I'll try to find a (web page perhaps) summary of what is and especially what is NOT available in free version of ESXi 3.5 Embedded U4.

    Like many people I guess, I spent hours looking for a way to perform certain operations on virtual disks, to see that these operations have been banned in the free version of ESXi 3.5 U4.  It is reasonable, after all, if someone gives you a horse, don't look in his mouth!  But while I'm happy to be an ESXi 'amateur' to a certain extent, I'm starting to feel like a pirate, and I'm doing this a bit more productive experience.  Here's what I found so far:

    -Some of the most useful features in VMware Tools (such as 'narrowing of the virtual disks') seem to have no useful effect in ESXi 3.5 U4 Embedded free version

    -L' operation-e vmkfstools.pl RCLI to rename the virtual disk (moving) and the i - operation to clone (copy / import / export) a virtual disk seem to be disabled (due to lack of return. RestrictedVersion.summary)

    -vim - cmd does not provide what be good beyond what you can do in VI Client

    In particular, can someone tell me if it is interesting to study the following, that is I'll be able to do anything discs at all useful to the virtual with them in ESXi 3.5 U4 Embedded free version:

    -VIMA

    -VI Toolkit (for Windows)

    Thanks for any help/pointers.

    Take a look at this article: http://vmetc.com/2009/03/31/esxi-u4-ends-free-version-read-and-write-access-from-the-rcli/, it should provide general information on the ESXi set and the problem of read-only.

    As ESXi never was intended to provide full access to the VI API, you get what you pay for and in this case, you use the free version so that you can accomplish all of these tasks with the VI Client, if you want more, you'll have to pay for it.

    So first off, vim-cmd is only available with the unsuppoted SSH console and you can probably do most of the basic tasks through some scripted as a shell script automation, also in the console Busybox unsupported, you have full access to the very familiar vmkfstools. Now, you mention vmkfstools.pl is the remote version of the tool, because it is not available by default with ESXi (as the console does not support is not supported by VMware). To manage and configure your remote host ESX and ESXi, vCLI was created that replicates most of the popular esxcfg-* commands that use the API of VI

    This VI API is not free, you have full read access but if you want to set up/perform all operations that aren't will not be played, then you will need to have a license appropriate and which is at the Foundation or higher. The API is exposed as WSDL/SOAP and there are various scripts/languages with links that hang in the VI API to provide a level of abstractions for programmers, administrators, some of these languages include Microsoft Powershell, Perl, c#, Java, etc.

    PowerCLI (officially VI Toolkit Windows) is such a link that uses the VI API, i.e. to use it you will need to have the appropriate permit to change the configuration of other you will have only read access, it's similar to Perl called vSphere SDK for Perl bindings. So, if you're going to explore other routes, you will always encounter the same fundamental question.

    Okay, vMA (officially VIMA) is just a VAPP VMware RHEL that provides administrators a way to centrally manage / to distance your servers ESX/ESXi and vCenter. It comes by default with the vSphere THAT SDK Perl and a few other utilities to help manage/configure your systems and once again they depend on the VI API which access set based on the licenses that you have on your hosts.

    So all the options are options, but you need to know if you are going to get a license, because without the most basic, you will not be able to use one of these toolkits. Note that the license NOT only does full read/write access to the API but other features depending on the license you buy.

    There are other tools that provides VMware which, for now, temporarily has functions of management for virtual machines ONLY, this may change in the near future but take a look at this thread for more information post: is not happy with lockdown 3.5u4 VI API/RCLI ESXi? Worry not, VMware VIX to the rescue... for now =)

    I hope that this clears up everything.

  • The windows 10 ISO file will still work to upgrade my computer to Windows 7 after the date limit to install the free version?

    Original title: upgrade Windows 10

    I made an iso file for windows 10. I am waiting to upgrade until all the bugs are being developed. My question is: will the iso file of windows 10 still work to upgrade my computer to windows 7 after the date limit to install the free version?

    The ISO will work after the date limit, but you can buy Windows 10 after the date limit, if you don't improve and activate it before that date.

    Windows 10 is delivered as a service:

    Windows July 10 release - build 10240

    Windows Update 10 November - build 10586 (with many updates depuis.13,.29,. 36)

    If you want to take advantage of the free offer, you must do so before July 29, 2016.

    If you the newer versions are released before then, you can always download and install when it becomes available.

    You could also install it now then download updates via Windows Update as soon as they are available.

    Task of pre-required

    When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1

    then

    then

    • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
    • Reboot several times, and then try again.
    • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
    • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
    • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
    • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
    • If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
    • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
    • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
    • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).

  • Can I move/copy an ESX Server on the free version

    Afternoon everyone,


    I don't have all the details that I took things upwards, but will my data center no later than next week.  We have a (free) ESXi server with 1 windows host.  This machine is pretty old and I wanted to just bring on new hardware and move.  Of some initial discussions they say I can use a V2V converter or something like that, so the questions are;

    1 - is the favorite/best way to take a running windows server and move it to new hardware?

    2. it is part of the free version?

    I think that will be enough to let me order some hardware, I know there was a limit of CPU, RAM etc.  The machine is a one processor, 12 G of ram so not surprising, I just wanted to put a new quadcore CPU, maybe probably 24 32G of RAM and all SSD.  I don't want to get to a point where I have to spend $1 K on a license to simply keep the existing 1 windows machine.

    Thank you.  I don't know that there are a few others that this project is started.

    Thank you

    There are a few options to move virtual machines from one host to another. One - as you have already said - is to use the free VMware vCenter Converter Standalone, which is probably the easiest option. Another way to migrate the virtual computer would be to export the virtual machine as an OVF/EGGS and import it on the new host. Last but not lease, you can manually download files of the virtual machine to store data from the host ESXi (via WinSCP for example) and upload the file to the new host.

    Just make sure that your hardware is supported for ESXi version, you use to avoid frustration.
