• Nested Vrsion Eval of ESXi 5.5 free ESXi

  OK, I'm playing with the advanced features of ESXi and I want to install a nested eval version of 5.5 ESXi in my free version of ESXi 5.5. Do a little research, I did the following:

  • Install VMware ESXi 5 on a physical host and configure networks, storage and other aspects as needed (already have this race successfully with other virtual machines running)
  • Configure a vSwitch or port group for the active Mode Promiscuous
  • Log Mode of Tech Support (ssh or ILO) and do the following to activate tweak nested 64-bit clients

    echo 'vhv.allow = "TRUE"' >> /etc/vmware/config

  In addition, I went to the tab my 5.5 ESXi VM options and is went to the CPU/MMU virtualization and tried both using Intel VT - x settings when I installed. In both cases, I received a warning when installing ESXi that she would not support 64-bit virtual servers. When I pressed forward in any case, I wasn't able to create a computer virtual using Windows 2008 R2 64-bit.

  So my questions are:

  -J' read somewhere that you may not be able use nested virtualization with the free version of ESXi. Is - this true/not true?

  -If you can make nested virtualization with free ESXi then what am I doing wrong? What are the settings to make it work. I wonder if I'm missing something.

  Thank you

  This parameter is required for ESX 5.0.  It is no longer necessary.

• Details on the VMA for free ESXi and ESXi 4.0 to 4.1 upgrade

  Hi all

  I recently did a upgrade to ESXi 4.0 U1 to ESXi 4.1 (and before doing so did not noticed that MAS will be more usable in 4.1). I wanted to just make sure that there is currently no way to using VMrun to automate the decommissioning and snapshot and reboot of the Guest OS on ESXi 4.1 and that there is not just an error in my code?

  vmrun h https://ESXI_SERVER/sdk u root Pei _PASSWORD_ t stop server "VM_NAME" "" sweet

  I work for a non-profit and my budget is tight at best (around $150.00 USD) per year for this project. My only choice is to roll back to 4.0 U1?

  Brent cordially

  When you say vMA will be more usable in 4.1, what do you mean by that? If you have upgraded to vSphere 4.1 and you want to use vMA, then you must download the version 4.1 of vMA compared to version 4.0.

  If you are referring to the license "bug" to VIX, VIX releases allowing yet it works on ESXi free is VIX 1.6.2 but the problem has also been fixed on the side of ESX (i) of things from 4.1. If you rely on this feature, you can return to 4.0.x.

  That said, you always have the option to use the Busybox Console (Tech Support Mode) to manage and perform various host and virtual machine using vimshoperations, it works with both a licensed version and free ESXi as the commands are executed within TSM and this could be an alternative without having to demote ESXi

• Limitation of the free ESXi?

  We bought vSphere with 3 standard ESX/ESXi. What is the difference between ESXi installation with the license and the free license?

  How many physical servers can be installed with free ESXi license? And can all these servers use the same license key?

  In addition, no problem if we install on the free ESXi Server vCenter to manage servers ESX 3?

  The difference between free ESXi and licensed editions is the features available.  You can see the features that you get when you add a level license here.  You are not limited the number of guests, that you can install with your free ESXi license, but you cannot manage them with vCenter without add a vCenter Agent license.  It would be no problem to install vCenter in a VM on ESXi to manage your other ESX hosts.

  2 can esxi free shared use of storage as a San or vmfs data warehouses must be on the local disks.

  3. If I use storage san to VMFS - y at - it no problem with sharing this data with other servers store free esxi or the data store cannot access by a host single esxi.

• How would you save the whole VM from a free ESXi host?

  As the title suggests the question. How would you do a backup periodic and automatic complete virtual machine (all VM files) that run inside a free ESXi in an ethernet disk located in the network (for example, every night or every week)?

  Is there any script task or program that I could create in the ESXi host for this? Or, is there a free tool I could use to do? Please keep in mind that I use a free ESXi and I do not have anything but the free one.

  Thank you.

• Free ESXi 3.5, to the question of infrastructure

  We have a few new servers I need out of production fairly quickly, but takes a bit longer to get our software.  Is it possible for me to install the free ESXi on servers and when I get the infrastructure software licenses just to change the license key in the box?

  Yes, you can change the way your ESXi host will be allowed. Just update your authorized features (ESX Server license by clicking on the link Type change... and "assign a new license key for this host"

• 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.

• get updates from vm 10 odd hosts running free esxi

  Hello

  I have 10 strange hosts that are taking place in free esxi

  They have same passwd root...

  can anyone suggest a script that can pull the info vm from them?

  If they're in vcenter alone its easy, but in my case its little diff here

  Make sure that you are in multiple mode (Set-PowerCLIConfiguration), and then connect (Connect-VIServer) to each node ESXi.

  A cmdlet, such as the use of Get-VM, now, if you do not use the Server parameter, will run you on all connected nodes of ESXi.

  You can check the ESXi nodes connected by displaying the content of $global: defaultviservers

• Impossible to use 5.5 free ESXi?

  Hi guys,.

  I have a question. I want to use ESXi 5.5 my free license. I downloaded the installer and install it on my server. But whenever I want to connect via vSphere, I get a message that I left the 60 days for the activation of ESXi, otherwise it will not work.

  How can I use my license key, so that my server can work more than 60 days?

  Best regards!

  Hello

  It is a normal behavior.

  Now you use a license in evaluation mode (all features enabled).

  When the 60-day trial period is over, all licensed features will be disabled, and certain tasks (for example on and off the virtual machines power) will not be allowed.

  Then, you change the evaluation by a license license free esxi, before the 60-day evaluation period expires.

• Free ESXi details

  could someone please shed some light on where he is now.

  (1) I realize that the free ESXi 5.5 new lifted restrictions of memory, but these restrictions have also been lifted for older versions?  Why VMware would remove the restriction to the 5.5 versions but not earlier?

  (2) if the restriction is not thrown for 5.1, which is the real restriction?  It's 32 GB of ram total in the server, or 32 GB of ram per socket, I saw it part two ways in different positions...

  (3) if the restriction is not thrown for 5.1, what should a user expect to see should when they try to apply the free license to 5.1 hypervisor that has more memory X memory in the host? (I say X because I have not yet replied to question 2)

  Thank you.

  OK, thanks for your response guys, you were mostly correct.  but I felt to actually test this while you wait for the answer, here's the final on that:

  the host was built using eval similarly all hosts are built, he had 48 GB of memory.  When I tried to add the free lic he first gave me an error message indicating that it didn't belong to the product.  It doesn't have any meaning.  I tried again and got the same error... very frustrating.  One thing to note, I was connected directly on vmnic0 via my laptop on the completely isolated network.

  I tried again, only the 3rd time I tried, I was at my desk, connection to ESXi through vClient (I got access to the internet from this station), and this time the error message was completely different, he said that I was too memory displays the amount of memory (48 GB), said the ICA would support only 32GB.

  So the hypervisor starts indeed, but why wouldn't it, its still in eval mode... and after mode eval is finished, I think that ESXi will start at the hypervisor, but you just can not power on virtual machines.

  So the treat on the hypervisor, not boot or startup seems to be incorrect.

  If someone wishes to speak I'll keep this post open for a few days.

• No more free ESXi?

  Hello!

  I thought the ESXi Hypervisor was free, so I downloaded ESXi 5 and installed on a server rack-HP-.

  The only way to manage a guest operating system is to install the vSphere Client and he says it's only a test 60 days.

  I thought maybe it is the customer who is on triel vSphere, but when I look at the ESXi, he also says "trial".

  Y at - it a sort of free ESXi or should I buy?

  Without the vSphere Client, how to manage comments-OX? In CLI?

  RS

  It is only valid for vCenter.

  You must follow the instructions for a stand-alone article KB André related license host:

  To allow a standalone ESXi 5.x (vSphere Hypervisor):

  1. Connect to the ESXi host with vSphere Client.
  2. Click the Configuration tab.
  3. Click licensed features in software.
  4. Click change in the appearance under the license tab.
  5. Select assign a new license key at this host.
  6. Press enter and enter the license key.
  7. Click OK.
