• vSphere acceleration kit - MPIO advanced

  Hello

  I'll just put up our new data center and we have vsphere produce acceleration kit...

  This allows MPIO to our ISCSI SAN?

  I can't find the Info for the acceleration kit advanced vmware more... Web site? It seems that they sell only standard, enterprise, and enterprise like now?

  http://www.VMware.com/vmwarestore/vsphere_accel_purchaseoptions.html

  of course if possible, we would like to implement the MPIO with our SAN.

  Any advice would be appreciated,

  Kind regards

  S.

  All versions of vSphere (even the free one) supports MPIO IO.

  The only thing he can't support would be multipath 3rd party plugins, but unless your SAN iSCSI is an Equallogic or EMC, then no such plugin exists for the Bay anyway

• Lab Manager acceleration kits / required licenses?

  Hello!

  We are currently using ESXi and plan to move to centralized test Lab Manager lab. The estimates are based on the acceleration kit that used to be available at about 4-5 k €, which seemed to include VI 3 licenses that are required for the Lab Manager to run on top of ESXi (or if whatever the basis ESXi does not support).

  Now I can't find the acceleration kits more 'Buy Lab Manager', instead I find licenses for Lab Manager only.

  Now I read everywhere that the vCenter is necessary and even messages that describe that vCenter foundation is not sufficient to run the laboratory Manager. However no official 'that's what you need to do if you want to get Lab Manager' running.

  To be honest, if the acceleration kits were gone for good, licensing begins to be as clear as some States large company in their regulatory policy, "must be this version of the database server", but do not worry to mention what license you need for the said server or background Windows server...

  I would like to know the price of 'minimum' (to continue) Lab Manager on top of bare metal, start-up costs and maintenance renewals when the initial support runs.

  With regard to reading, 2 or 4 processors as it seems to count.

  BR,

  Kalle

  Sorry, that seems so difficult.  To sort through all of this:

  • Lab Manager requires ESX Standard or Enterprise.  It does not currently run on ESXi, but it's on the Roadmap (cannot discuss dates here).

  • Lab Manager 3 requires vCenter (Lab Manager 2 does not work).

  • vCenter Foundation is untested, but should work (but can only manage up to 3 knots).

  • ESX Foundation is not supported by the Lab Manager.

  • The laboratory director is authorized by the node (the server Lab Manager is free).

  • Lab Manager Server runs on Windows Server 2003 and can run on a virtual machine

  • VirtualCenter runs on Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional, or Windows Server 2003 and can also run on a virtual machine.

  Thus, the minimum subscription is:

  • ESX Standard for two processors

  • Lab Manager for two processors

  • vCenter Foundation

  • Windows licenses you need for the Lab Manager server and VirtualCenter Management Server.

  Installing vCenter Management Server and server Lab Manager on the two virtual machines on this host ESX and use their local drive to store the virtual computer images.

  Such a system doesn't scale well, of course.  When you size, you will need to add the following:

  • Shared storage (NFS, iSCSI, or FC)

  • More ESX and Lab Manager licenses

  • vCenter Standard or Premium, instead of Foundation.

  Hope this helps,

• Upgrade to ESXi 5.1 (free version) to vSphere Enterprise Plus 5.1

  I've been running the free version of ESXi for a few years now and I am currently on version 5.1. Recently, I decided to buy Enterprise Plus licenses to take advantage of features such as vShield and agent less backups.

  in any case, I loaded the new license in vSphere client and it shows now all the options available in Enterprise Plus. The profile of the iMage is ESXi - 5.1xxxx - standard. Is it enough just to load the new license or is there a different image that I need to use instead?

  If it's a different picture can I put it on top of what is installed without losing the guests?

  THX!

  It won't matter. Host---> Configuration---> Licensed features---> if it shows more Enterprise, then you will have all the features. I have attached a screenshot to show what he looks like. If it's the same then you don't have to worry.

• VMware vSphere Advanced Acceleration Kit

  How does VMware vSphere Acceleration Kit advanced work? How many guest support? I have two servers at once with 2 quad core processors. I would like to implement the two servers with a tolerance for vcenter and fault, then add a third server that is identical. This package will work for me?

  We currently have kits essentials in place on two other servers. The essential kit clearly states its for 3 guests (max 2 CPUs per host) and 6 cores per processor

  This package should work just fine, but we want tolerance fault for our new configuration. That's why I'm leaning towards VMware vSphere acceleration Kit Advanced.

  Thank you

  Joe

  As you have already mentioned, the Kits Essentials are limited to 3 guests. That's all.

  Acceleration Kits are reduced start-up kits which contain regular licenses. You can only buy 1 of these kits per location. The Advanced acceleration Kit includes vSphere Advanced 6 processors and vCenter Server Foundation. You can use the licenses processor you want, for example for the guests of CPU of 3 x 2 or 1 x 2 CPU + 1 x 4 CPU... If you need more guests and 3 then you can upgrade the License Server Foundation of vCenter to vCenter Server Standard and purchase additional processor licenses. See http://www.vmware.com/vmwarestore/buyvsphere-acceleration-kits.html

  As far as I know there are options to upgrade Essentials more to the acceleration of advanced kit. Ask your VMware reseller for more details.

• not available in Enterprise Plus vDS?

  People,

  I have a data center with four 4.1 hosts licensed with Enterprise Plus. I have an older host in this data center which is ESX 3.5. I want to create a vDS for guests of four 4.1.

  When I click on my data center, the ability to create a "new vNetwork Distributed Switch" is grayed out.

  Must all hosts in the data center be up to Enterprise Plus and vSphere 4.1 before I can create a vDS?

  Thank you

• vSphere Enterprise Plus & SMP 8 licenses see

  Hi all

  This post is to understand in some detail more added functionality SMP 8 channels with the purchase of the vSphere enterprise than allowed.

  We just bought a new battery of vSphere with Enterprise license (guests are taken-2, 4-cores CPU based) and upgrade to vSphere another battery of existing ESX 3.5 servers (hosts are 4 socket, 4 core based processors).

  We know that, according to the license of the company, we will be able to assign our VMs a maximum of 4 vCPUs each (and up to 6 cores per physical processor).

  Should upgrade us to Enterprise Plus licensing, what would the number of vCPU max we can give in to a virtual machine in each of our farms? Would he still be 4 (since our CPUs are anyway all 4 cores) or 8 (for both the 'old' farm hosts 4 4-cores and the new farm-based based on 2 hearts 4 guests)?

  In fact it is not clear to me if the maximum number of vCPU is always equal to the number of physical processor cores (e.g.: max vCPU & lt; = carrots/physical CPU AND max vCPU & lt; = 8) or not.

  For example, I would have a crowd of vSphere license-powered Enterprise Plus and ewuipped with 2 processors 6 hearts, vCPU how can I assign to a VM as a maximum? 6 or 8?

  Thank you very much for your help.

  Best regads,

  Salvatore

  Enterprise Plus allows you to assign 8 vCPUs, Enterprise and bottom - 4.

  It does not matter the number of cores is on each physical processor. The only requirement - the total number of cores must be greater than or equal number of vCPUs you want to give a VM. So 2 quads allows you to create 8 vCPU VM.

• Assigning carrots not processors in Enterprise Plus

  I have a dilemma that the introduction of the Enterprise Plus has created for me. I drank the Kool-Aid of VMWare and taken my company with me and I was positive of the plu company would solve all my problems, but instead, it has created a new problem that I did not anticipate. I hope someone called it and a workaround or some news on this issue of the fixation of VMware.

  We run virtualized SQL and until plu company, our SQL servers were 2 to 4 processors, no problem. Hosts run us these are core (8 cores) of the x 4 2 channels or 4 channel x 6 main systems (base 24 total). We had several loads of work requiring more than 4 cores, so we left those physical. When the plu company came out, we had the ability to assign up to 8 cores for a guest, now I could virtualize workloads. I thought it would be fantastic, but instead, I now have a problem with windows, see 8 processors.

  Microsoft has recently changed their licenses to be much friendlier to virtualization. They now allow SQL to be licensed while only running on a virtual machine based on the number of vCPUs assigned to the guest divided by the number of cores per processor in the host system. So in my example, I have a box of 4 x 6 with a virtual machine running 8 vCPUs. Microsoft says take 8 vCPUs divide by 6 cores per processor and determines that I need license 2 (1.3 roundups) licenses processor SQL standards to be legal. See page 29 of the doc SQL licenses for examples http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/licensing.aspx if you are interested.

  So, I only need to buy 2 licenses processor SQL standard edition to the Microsoft license requirements. This is the problem come. VMWare is not with 2 processors to 4 cores, or some other combination, it presents all processors with none of the nuclei to the guest OS. The guest operating system sees only 4 processors and therefore SQL. I can install Windows enterprise and see 8-processor SQL will use only 4 as the SQL standard allows only 4 processors, so to see all 8, I need to install SQL enterprise. While this works, it isn't something I should do, and I'm not technically a license for the company of the two OS installation.

  The huge problem it causes is the cost. On a server to 4 physical processors with 6 cores of each, if I had to run windows directly on the box I have to Windows standard license ($1 K) and the SQL Standard for 2 processors ($8K per proc) for a total of $17 K and my SQL server can use all 24 cores. If I run this same machine on top of VMware with 8 vCPUs I now run Windows Enterprise ($4 K) and SQL Enterprise for ($20 K per proc) for a total of 84 K $. I can't pay an extra $67 K to virtualize each workload.

  This problem would be easily solved if VMWare just processors with carrots to the OS rather than the processors to without seeds. Any ideas?

  Hello.

• Question about VMware Foundation Acceleration Kit

  Sorry if this is a stupid question, I don't get frequent on licenses for the stuff. Ive looked at the PDF licenses and below shows the paragraph that confuses me a little. The Foundation acceleration Kit only allows you to run ESXi?

  Ive got 2 sites that I need installation, one with 1 x VC server. 2 x with 2 x cpus esx hosts each and another site running a different copy of VC, 1 host ESX x with 2 x CPus.

  What would be the best option?

• The upgrade of our guests 5.0 ESXi and vCenter Server 5 and 5.5 Enterprise Plus

  We are the 4 upgrade hosts of ESXi 5 to 5.5

  We add 4 more guests with own ESXi 5.5 installed

  We are also upgrading our vCS 5 in the vCSA 5.5

  Using Enterprise + licenses

  Question: I'm trying to understand the best way to achieve this transition.  4 guests run about 100 virtual machines and 4 guests we add are clean slates.

  That's what I think... Please help me guys

  1. once the 4 new hosts are installed in the Datacenter clean running ESXi 5.5 I will deploy the vCSA ovf and register 4 guests with the Linux-based device.

  2. now, I have 4 new 5.5 ESXi hosts registered and running with vCSA 5.5 but I still have my old 4 guests with ESXi 5 and registered to the old vCS about 100 virtual machines running WIndows

  3. at this point I think stop on my older hosts 4 virtual machines and remove them from the vCenter Server inventory Windows and everything just their registration with the new vCSA

  4. Will be all my virtual machines or transferred with the hosts if I close them and put the hosts in maintenance mode?

  5. now, I should have all 8 guests registered with my new vCSA.  But the original 4 hosts have yet to be upgraded to ESXi 5.5

  6 move 100 virtual machines to the new 4 hosts running ESXi 5.5 and upgraded the 4 former hosts.

  7. now, I should have 8 guests with ESXi 5.5 using the vCSA

  See you soon!

  Pretty much.

  To make things easier, you can deploy the EGGS for vCSA in your current vCenter (if I remember correctly import an OVA using vCenter allows you to set certain options that should be set to the vCSA shell). After making sure that the vCSA online & configured, you can then install ESXi on all your new hosts, add them to a cluster in the vCSA and put a few trials of virtual machines on there to confirm the network setting is configured correctly. Once it's done (and assuming that the old and the new hosts use the same shared storage) you can stop the vCSA, remove it stock Windows vCS, please write it on one of your new hosts and turn on. You have now two environments (5.0 and 5.5). Next if you disconnect a host from 5.0 vCS (with virtual machines running on it), you can then connect it to the vCSA 5.5. Assuming that the vSwitchs standard networking of the exchanges that are the same name in both environments, you now can vMotion VMs between host 5.0 and 5.5 cluster. At this time, you can repeat with all remaining hosts until everything has been made the transition without service interruption. This will leave a lot of old objects in your old 5.0 vCS, but if that is getting trashed it isn't a big deal.

• Change license to essential to Enterprise Plus 5.0 cluster

  Good morning guys,

  I need help on the amendment of license for a SME clients.

  In fact, we have a cluster with only 3 5.0 Esxi hosts and a vcenter license with the essential Pack.

  Add other hosts and the customer has already purchased the Enterprise more licenses for guests (old and new).

  What is the best way of change the Licensing without creating problems in the production environment?

  Do I have to Unplug le hosts de vcenter, changing the vcenter licenses and then reconnect the different host to vcenter to new by assigning them a new license? We would like to avoid creating a new cluster to which Add former ESXi nodes to maintain some configurations (as fencing for a CentOS cluster). Thanks for your suggestions regarding

  Hi Antonio,.

  There is no impact to change the license at all. You simply replace the current license with the new. Not need to unplug the host or any other thing.

• Is ESX 5.0 Enterprise Plus transferable license server? If I bought used?

  I bought a server provided with 'VMware vsphere 5 plu enterprise number of virtual machines', already allowed for unlimeted installed on it, this was one of the old servers disused software top what I remember...

  1. am I now own this software provided with the equipment on which it is?

  2. If Yes, would this software attached to only this material, or could he be wiped hardware and software reloaded on new hardware?

  3 or is dependent on your stay with the original owner? can it be transferred from owners?

  Just curious, I currently run esxi 5.1 on a new system. This system, I want to talk about is a former server, I want to sell and so would like to know my legitimate legal options to exit the software out there and sell. Or maybe remove the license key and keep myself to use it on a newer server hardware, or simply delete if I don't own the software: (.) It's coming off a hungry sunserver, noisey old power which must be sold.

  You can transfer a license that you own server to server.

  You cannot use a license which has been on a server that was purchased from the previous owner of the server.  The following is from the EULA for vSphere:

  2. LICENSE GRANT.

  2.1 scope of license. Subject to the terms and conditions of this EULA, VMware grants you, during the licence term, a license, non-exclusive and non-transferable use the software, in the form of executable code only, the territory, for your internal operations in accordance with (a) Documentation; (b) the Type of licence for which you have paid the applicable fees; (c) other applicable restrictions set out in the order. The software license is limited to the amounts specified in each order there is.
