Essential Kit for VMware

Hello

I have VMware Essential kit, which applies for up to 3 servers or 6 processors. I have a doubt linked here:

Make VMware license key have any physical RAM limitation?

Another doubt is:

The VMware license key limits 3 servers.

If I'm using vCenter server then, I can't use more than 3 servers under that.

But,

I use VMware license key on more than 3 individual ESXi servers if, I'm not them including vCenter Server. It is the violation of license key?

Thank you.

The license warning will be fixed in a patch.   ESXi does not license check against one "Internet Center" service so we can apply the same license for several hosts when not to use vCenter, but you are not legally allowed to do. ""

    Hello

    I have 3 ESXI 5.5 servers in place and another 9 servers ESXI 5.5 in a second location. All servers have two processors and 128 GB or less RAM.

    Can I buy 4 essential Kits of VMWare and install four separate vcenter instances? Am I allowed to use multiple VMware Essentials Kits in one place?

    Is it possible to install one instance of VCenter for all ESXI 5.5 servers 12 with these licenses or do I need to buy a different set of licenses?

    Can I buy 4 essential Kits of VMWare and install four separate vcenter instances? Am I allowed to use multiple VMware Essentials Kits in one place?

    Unless I'm missing something, you can have how many Kits Essentials desired by site/branch, the limitation is that each vCenter Essentials kit can manage only the 03 (three) hosts.

    Is it possible to install one instance of VCenter for all ESXI 5.5 servers 12 with these licenses or do I need to buy a different set of licenses?

    No, each Kit Essentials can manage only the 03 (three) VMware ESXi ESX. To manage hosts more 03, you will need the Standard vCenter and vSphere ESXi Standard, Enterprise or Enterprise Plus.

    Anyway, there are still other options if you don't want to license more advanced, like Standard vCenter and vSphere, ESXi Standard/Enterprise, see: how your vSphere VMware 5.5 retail and management offices (ROBO) - VMware-Blog of SMB - VMware license items

  • A new doubt on the license - VMware vSphere Essential Kit

    Hi guys,.

    I play virtualize physical servers in the company I work (about 10 smaller servers).

    To start some tests, I bought a Dell r.620 server with two processors and 64 GB of RAM.

    I think buy just one license of VMware vSphere Essential Kit, just to test some features, management, and support provided by VMware.

    My doubt is: to support all the RAM (64 GB), I have purchase a license of the vSphere Essential Kit, or I need TWO?

    I'm a little confused on how much physical RAM memory on a single server, the vShpere Essential Kit can handle.

    OK, I know I can use a free version. But this test server will be transformed into a production server, and that the price of the vSphere Essential Kit is very good, I would buy it and start my test as a test of "production"...

    Guys, sorry for my bad English, it is not my mother tongue. =(

    Thanks much for any help.

    Hi Alex,

    Since you are doing a test on a single server so a Kit should be good at this point. In addition to Essential Kit do not fully support 64 GB of RAM so no need to buy two. Only the free versions have limits in support of only 32 GB of RAM.

    Diagram below will give you a good idea on the different Kits.

    Also, you can read about licensing and prices here: http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/vsphere/VMware-vSphere-Pricing-Whitepaper.pdf

    Hello

    We are State school running vSphere 5 essential Plus Kit with 3 Esxi hosts and 50 virtual machines.

    I have the following questions.

    1. could we improve this essential kit more vSphere vSphere 5 6 kit essential if yes;

    2. must pay an extra fee to upgrade.

    3. how smooth is the process of upgrading by using the Update Manager.

    4 how long it should take 3 host Esxi and vCenter 5 server to upgrade.

    Thank you for taking the time and answering in advance.

    Thanks - zang

    1. could we improve this essential kit more vSphere vSphere 5 6 kit essential if yes;

    Yes, it is possible.

    2. must pay an extra fee to upgrade.

    If the SnS (Support and subscription) is active, you can upgrade free of charge, see: VMware KB: how to upgrade license keys in my VMware

    3. how smooth is the process of upgrading by using the Update Manager.

    If you have unused production capacity to accommodate all your virtual machines in only 2 guests, you can do the upgrade without any interruption in your environment.

    4 how long it should take 3 host Esxi and vCenter 5 server to upgrade.

    It depends, but I think that 4-6 hours is more than enough.

  • Upgrade free version of Essential Kit

    Hello

    Can I put my free ESXi installation to vSphere Essential Kit, or what I have to install it again.

    We head to the front.

    The answer to this is nice and simple. Apply the license key that will activate paying for features.

    You can build your first vCenter Server (if you do not have one) and then apply the keys to vCenter, makes it a little easier if there is more than one host.

  • Standard managed via vCenter essential Kit

    Hello

    We got 3 ESXi 4.1 cluster host, but the version doesn't matter, because we want to upgrade in the nearly future. The thing is that we also want to expand our infrastructure, lets say with 2 new hosts. This cluster has a kit with a single instance of critical vCenter more essential. If buy us a license for vCenter standard server and a standard for this 2 new host license will be able to manage in a Standard vCenter? (essentially more host kit 3 + host vSphere standard 2 - by vCenter)

    I dive with care through all licenses pappers from documentation and white, so I know that essential kits does not exceed 3 host limit, but if I buy the standard for vCenter license will be I be able to manage the two cluster throug or I have to re license old Kit essential cluster?

    I hope his celar enough

    Wojtek

    It does not work. Kits only Essentials, you can manage with vCenter Server Standard are the "Retail and Branch Office Kits". In your case, you will need to purchase CPU licenses for all guests. What may be interesting to watch from a cost standpoint, is an upgrade of the Kit Essentials Plus a kit of acceleration (including vCenter Server Standard and 6 licenses processors) and then buy the CPU licenses also required.

    Hereby, I understand that there will be no more support for VmWare and forums are essentially the only resource that I can rely on.

    It's probably using the same VK554AA mount wall adapter that uses 600/300 series, note what the adapter to the VESA standard, you still need a physical VESA wall bracket.

    Unless the manual says that it is already compatible VESA, then any bracket VESA will work.

  • Host for vmware integration tools

    the support site are not providing the relevant download

    https://eqlsupport.Dell.com/support/download.aspx?ID=3199

    Klick on VMware integration or eqlsupport.dell.com/.../download.aspx

    Its a set of programs. Most likely, you are looking for the MEM (Module of Extension Multipath) and VSM (Virtual Storage Manager), formerly known as the ASM/VE. The last is the "plugin" for the connection between your group EQL and vSphere vCenter. His only usable in the 'new' WebClient vSphere and not for the old c# one.

  • x 4012 MTU for VMware NSX

    Hello

    I am looking for two 10 GB switches to low price without perfomance high-end to create an environment of demonstration NSX. VMware NSX has only one requirement difficult and an option for the integration complete.
