Essentials for vSphere Standard - correct license?

We are running 3 x machines hosts vsphere 4.1 essentials connected to a server vCenter (not the essentials vcenter server) running standard. We know that if we improve these host machines we cannot be handled by our server vCenter (v5.5) due to a change of license and it is like not possible.


After the execution of these 3 guests with Essentials, we now seek to introduce environmental vmotion and storage vmotion. Can you confirm for me that we just need to buy the right amount of vSphere Standard licenses?

It doesn't seem to be an upgrade from Essentials to vSphere standard. Team VMware licenses have already recommended to talk to our partners and after that they recommend to purchase:

VMware vSphere with operations management [Corporate - upgrading: VMware vSphere 5 Essentials to vSphere Operations Manag Std Acceleration Kit of 6 processors]

It is also much more expensive and much more than necessary.  I believe that it is unnecessary to go this route because it is much more expensive than buying the vSphere licensing standards.

Can anyone confirm that we just need to buy the right amount of vSphere Standard licenses in order to manage them with vCenter Server Standard to enable vmotion between these hosts?

I understand that acceleration kits are grouped to be more profitable, but because you already have a license of vcenter standard you are right, you will need the correct number of vSphere ESXi licenses which is sold per CPU - so if your three hosts are dual cpu you will need 6 licenses

  • Better route to abandon more Essentials to vSphere Standard?

    I currently have three licenses for the kit of Essentials more than 5.5 vSphere

    To add storage vMotion, I'll have to move to vSphere Standard.

    I understand that the vCenter Server of the essential kit differs from vCenter Server Standard, so in order to pass all my existing to vSphere Standard environment, I'll have to buy vCenter Server Standard and 18 processors for vSphere Standard licenses.

    Is there a way to upgrade for the transition to vCenter Server Standard or are customers essentially forced to start from scratch?

    If there is a way to upgrade, price different from zero?

    There was a post in early February on the displacement of most of the standard, but in this particular case, the organization already had vCenter Server Standard, so all that was needed was the CPU licenses.

    > The essential kit more allows you to use vMotion, but not Storage vMotion, so I can move my vm between hosts to you, but cannot move them between data warehouses.

    Yes and no. The Essentials most Kit includes no storage vMotion, but you can use "Change of host and data store" live migrate VM to other data warehouses. This is possible since vSphere 5.1 (see vMotion bug corrected in vCenter server 5.1.0a)

  • The upgrade to vsphere 4 essentials for vsphere 4.1 essentials more with 2 servers?

    I currently have a Dell 2950 III with processors x 5460 double hearts running vsphere 4 essentials and I am looking at upgrading on two servers with vsphere 4 essentials more with vmotion. How do I know if I can continue to use my existing 2950 and add a Dell R610 with two hexagonal x 5680 core processors? I want to be able to run most of my guests on the new R610 but power move them back to the 2950 (which could be changed during the upgrade) and if necessary R610.

    Thank you.

    The only concern, you'll need to know is the processors for R710, R610, and PE 2950. You must ensure that enhanced Vmotion is supported for these inorder to three servers for vmotion (live migration) seamlessly.

    I know R610 and R710 works, but I'm not sure what that generate a PE2950 you are referring. You can see the matrix here. http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=1003212 an another prereq is that all of these VMs must be in the shared storage and the shared storage is presented to all these 3 hosts.

  • vDS now comes with the NSX for vSphere

    Hello

    I found a few kb articles saying that we can use vDS on any edition of vSphere with the NSX.

    http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2135310

    • If you are using VMware vSphere 5.5 update 3 or vSphere 6.0.x, NSX VMware vSphere 6.x does not require a license of vSphere Enterprise Plus and can run on any edition of vSphere.

    http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1010555

    • Note: vDS is now delivered with NSX to vSphere (NSXv) and VMware Virtual SAN (VSAN) in vSphere 6.0.


    I've implemented the vSphere environment with the standard license and NSX for vSphere with the license of the company.

    But I can't use vDS. If I can create new vDS on vCenter, I can't add hosts with standard license to a vDS.


    I used below products.


    • ESXi 6.0.0
    • vCSA 6.0.0.
    • NSX for vSphere 6.2.1


    Have someone at - he tried vSphere standard with NSX license ?

    If I could, might have some tips?

    Any kinds of comments would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Danne

    Thank you. In this case, I think you're right. I have not tried specifically because I rarely see Standard.

    Please open an SR for support can examine why this is happening. Sorry I can't be more help.

  • Upgrade license on ESXi host for a Standard license for vSphere

    On an ESXi host using the free version, I understand that to have it managed by our current Server vCenter (which is licensed to vCenter Server Standard 4) we must update the license on the ESXi host for a vSphere Standard license. First is correct in what I think? I know there is another option using the vSphere Essentials, but this only covers 3 hosts of what I read and we have 4 hosts ESXi we want to manage, and also we would prefer to have all managed under the vCenter server if possible.

    Second, if it's true, it's as simple as putting in the new license key on the ESXi host, and then I will be able to manage through our current server vCenter (who also manage our ESX host)? Or it would be a full erase + install different version of ESX on each host?

    Thank you

    you are perfectly right and it's as simple as that. Just enter the new key on the host computer through the vSphere client and add it to vcenter.

    The standard license is the one you want.

    Best regards

  • vSphere 6.0 license Standard downgrade then upgrade

    Hi guys,.

    Just a quick I'm not quite clear on if possible.

    Basically, I have two hosts of ESXi, an old box of 5.5 running on vSphere essentials license and a new box of 6.0 running with the standard license for vSphere.  The new server is not yet in production, and is associated with a San (current storage on the 5.5 server is local)

    We have a 4 CPU license for vSphere 6.0 standard, so what I was hoping to do was downgrade 2 CPU of this license to 5.5 and apply it on the 5.5 server, this will enable vMotion and let me live migrate servers of local storage for the new San and across to the new host.  I then tried to shut down the old Server 5.5, rebuild fresh with ESXi 6.0 and then upgrade the number of processors 2 license 6.0 who have been downgraded, back to 6.0.

    Is it possible to do so without incurring a cost?  I see that a downgrade is possible for free, but I'm not 100% clear on the component to upgrade.  Basically, I wanted to do it this way to avoid blackouts, but if it comes to it, then I can plan a failure, just try to scope out right now.

    Thank you.

    I was wrong. I just checked and you can select 'Upgrade quantity'. I learned something new today.

    From the point of view upgrade/downgrade you can make it back as long as you have a valid support contract.
