• The upgrade of free vSphere vSphere Essentials Plus

  Can someone point me in the direction of the vSphere upgrade free to vSphere Essentials Plus? I'm relatively new to vSphere in the installation process.

  Yes, same procedure, but note that you will have a license key for version 4.x. If you have the license key for version 5.x and the host is version 4.x, you must upgrade your host to version 5.x or downgrade your license for version 4.x.

  Can I use the standard VMware CD to upgrade the host or vCenter or should I use Essentials more specific CD?

  There is no difference between the installation media... the same ISO can be used for all editions of vSphere/vCenter.

  Based on what I saw on KB 2057795 I should update the vCenter first, ESXi nodes later.

  Yes, it is in order, all first the vCenter Server and vSphere ESXi hosts.

  Can I upgrade from 5.0 to 5.5 U2 or should I perform any intermediate task?

  You can go directly to version 5.5 Update 2, but for vSphere, ESXi hosts don't forget to check the HCL first just to make sure that your host supports version 5.5 Update 2.

  Is the update process, I need to run described anywhere?

• vSphere Essentials Plus - with no no hosts file information.

  We recently bought Essentials Plus (ESXi4).

  To get working HA, I need to change my hosts file on both servers I use as ESXi4 keeps forgetting to put the hostname after the FULL domain name.

  That is to say, I get:

  x.x.x.x hostname.domain.com

  Instead of

  x.x.x.x hostname.domain.com hostname

  Modification of the file/etc/hosts to fix allows me to turn on HA.

  However.  Whenever I have restart a server, the file loses the game again host name on the rebooted server.

  Is there any solution for this?  Edit the hosts file after every reboot is a pain.

  We are in the installer restart so many phase.

  Why don't you just do your ESXes can be solved by the redundant DNS servers?

In addition, such a question may be related to UAC, I recommend you turn off UAC in Windows Vista, if you have installed security software, try uninstalling the security application as well.

• VSphere Essentials Plus Kit vs Standard

  All the

  I need help to make a decision here.  The environment is both physical server (2 CPU each) and they run out of a small local SAN.  I was going to get Essentials more but the problem is that it is around $ 5500 per server physical and that is almost as expensive as the server.  I'm looking for alternatives and I fell on VSphere Standard edition.  Although Essentials Plus has all the Bell and whistle I am looking for, but we can live with HA and vMotion.  The truth is that I can live with 15 minutes of downtime, I just need to know if I should get VSphere Standard edition or even Essentials that I have the opportunity to make a VM if I experience hardware failure?  Thank you in advance.

  Welcome to the community,

  vSphere Essentials Plus Kit comes with a license for an instance of vCenter Server Essentials and 6 CPU license for up to 3 guests with up to 2 processors each. No need to buy a Kit by server.

• VMware vSphere Essentials Plus Kit Upgrade

  Hello

  We are currently running VMware vCenter Server 5.1.0 and VMware ESXi VMware vSphere Essentials Plus Kit license 5.1 with 5.1.0. I think the move to VMware ESXi and VMware vCenter Server 6.0 6.0

  
  

  I already had a host with ESXi 6.0 and I tried to use my existing on this host 6.0 Essentials Plus Kit License, but it does not work. I have to upgrade my license key? What are my options?
  

  VMware vSphere license key update

  You must obtain new licenses to deploy VMware vSphere 6.0. VMware vSphere 4.x and 5.x existing licenses vSphere will not work on vSphere 6.0.

• What are the steps to upgrade to vCenter/vSphere Essentials Plus 5.0 to vCenter/vSphere 5.5 Standard?

  We currently have VMWare Essentials Plus on 3 hosts, with 2 processors each. We wanted to add 2 more ESX host, so we improved our standard for vCenter/vSphere license to version 5.5. We try to find the best possible route to install 5.5 on the hosts and upgrade the server vCenter Server with our new version of the granting of licenses and software. The best initial step would be to apply the new license in the current framework 5.0 hosts and vCenter server and then upgrade the software 1 by 1? Or apply the new license to our current Server vCenter, pgrade to 5.5 server and then upgrade each host? Our Dell Rep gave me this guide (updated for VMware vSphere, Cloud Computing for companies of all sizes |) United States) and mentioned if we need assistance, contact VMWare.

  Any guidance would be appreciated.

  5.0 and 5.5 must use the same keys. Then start by adding the new license key to your vCenter server then you are able to manage more than 3 guests.

  Next step would be to update the server vCenter to 5.5 so it can handle actually 5.5 hosts.

  Subsequently you would update the hosts.

  Host licenses can also be replaced at any time during this process, because they are also specific 5.x version.

  Theoretical you could even stay on 5.0 and simply replace licenses if they are not a sort of special license keys.

• VSphere Essentials Plus 5.1 to 5.5 upgrade

  Hello

  As it says in the title, I would like to upgrade Essentials Plus 5.1 to 5.5, but my question is:

  Can I use the same license or I have to buy a new one?

  Thank you

  Adrian

  There is no requirement to upgrade license for a minor update for example 5.0-5.1-> 5.5 > whereas it is so from say 4.1 - 5.0.

• VMWare vSphere Essentials Plus Kit

  My apologies in advance if this is posted in the wrong place - I'm going round and round, trying to find answers and appropriate to place.

  I have reflected on vSphere Essentials Plus Kit for 3 guests and just have a few questions.

  (1) the limitation specified 2 CPUs.  Does mean physical cores?  For example, I currently have a small number of virtual machines running on a HP DL360 G5 which has processor Xeon.  ESXi is reported as 2, but 8 cores.  So in this example VMWare will consider this 2 CPU or 8 CPU? (I realize that this material is not compatible with vSphere V5, but I'd be curious to understand the principle of limitation)

  (2) is in any way to migrate to ESXi 4.1 vSphere Essentials Plus Kit (which I suppose is 5.1?) because it would take me a hardware and software upgrade.  Or am I better implementation of a new system and use something like vCenter Converter to move virtual machines?

  (3) is there such a thing as a vSphere Essentials Plus Kit evaluation?  If this is not the case, how can I do for my test environment.  I don't want to invest in a new hardware/software, if for some reason any that does not work for me

  I'm looking to move to ESXi for reasons of redundancy and reslience.  I have only 1 ESXi box run currently with about 6 VM I'm not a major user and I think that more Kit Essentials fits the Bill on all the rest.

  Thanks in advance for your comments and advice.

• Essentials Plus with 3 servers more than 192 GB?

  So basically I'm in the situation where each of the three servers ESXi 5.1 has 32 GB of memory.  I wanted to go to 64 GB however after asking Dell for technical brief for this.  We bought the memory and it got here, but I can't use the modules to obtain the memory needed (24 4 sticks).  Because each server requires a pair of 2 or 3 pairs.  So basically what I've discovered, is that each server would be cheaper to spend 72 GB instead of 64 GB at this point.  However 3 x 72 = 216 GB.  We know essentials plus only supports 192GO max that I read.  Then, how they are managed in what concerns each machine with 72 GB instead of 64 GB.  Two servers will show 72GO and the third 48GB?  Knows also distributed memory 64GB each on the three server?  Anyone run into this situation and what happens?

  In 5.1, the limits of the vRAM have disappeared - by socket only licensed

• Cannot assign VMWare Essentials-PLUS license, says "vSphere FT" in use.

  I am desperately trying to activate VMWare Essentials plus, but when I try to asssign the key to these two hosts ESXi 5.0.0 get:

  License may not be assigned, features in use: vSphere FT

  The other key "In VSphere VMWare Server" just assigned very well.

  That amounts to two questions:

  How remove vSphete FT, even when disabling HA completely it always says "are in use."

  I was informed by a representative of VMWare "Fault Tolerance" is included in Essentials, but the reality seems to be different. So either I have a technical problem or we have been deceived.

  Any information to clarify what is happening is appreciated.

  Check the configuration of your network on the host, especially the VMKernel ports and make sure that you have not accidentally activate the checkbox "logging Fault Tolerance.

• VMware Essentials Plus question of vRam 2 guests

  I have 2 guests with every 192 GB of RAM and 2 CPU.

  If I understand this VMware Essentials Plus the following limitations:

  Max of 3 guests

  Max of 192 GB vRAM

  Max of 2 CPU per host

  The 192 GB can be used in any way I want? For example...

  -Can I run VM 6 with a total of 72 GB RAM on host A and run 10 VM with a total of 120 GB of RAM on host B? (192 GB total)

  -Can I feed 8 VM with a total of 96 GB of RAM on host A and run 8 VM with a total of 96 GB of RAM on host B? (192 GB total)

  - Or in the case of hardware failure, I can run all VM 16 s with a total of 192 GB of RAM on a single host?

  Hello and welcome to the Forums!

  Yes, the vRAM is "in common", so as long as you do not exceed right you are ok.

  ... also, make sure you have your ESX hosts in a cluster to use the right "pool."
