ESX i4 free edition to manage by VCenter 5.5

Hey,.

I've got ESX server free edition 4.1 and I recently bought essential kit of ESX.

I want to update my esx server, but first back up all my virtual machines.

is it possible to do except turn off the virtual machines?

I thought to add the host as it is (free edition) to vcenter 5.5 and their cloning of virtual machines, but no luck with that, is it possible at all?

Thanks for the help!

Alon

Oh right sorry, forgot that, as he used to work with free ESXi earlier

During the upgrade, there is not a single were you can really do something wrong:

It will ask you to upgrade or new install.

The pre-selected and correct answer is "upgrade and preserve the VMFS datastore ', so that your virtual machines them will not be deleted.

  • 4.1 ESX Server thinks it is managed by VCenter, but is not

    An ESX 4.1.0 server (Standard edition) think it is managed by our server to VC, but it isn't.

    When connecting to the server with an ESX VSphere Client, I am greeted with the message:

    "This host is currently managed by the VCenter server... IP address.  It is not the case.

    I believe that the problem started in trying to add this ESX server 4.1.0 to our server VCenter 4.0.0

    This isn't a combination of supported, but the operation seems to have left the ESX with the VCenter Server Agent installed and configured server.

    I guess I'll upgrade our server VCenter 4.1 at a given time, but how to remove or correct the VC Server Agent on the host computer in the meantime?

    I see this suggestion: http://http://communities.vmware.com/message/707920#707920

    and cannot find this directory on the server VCenter, but what script to use is not clear.

    Thank you... Lyle

    Hi Lyle,

  • verification of vShield Manager record vCenter

    I'm installing vShield Manager in my environment of vCloud/vSphere 'assessment '.  Working from the vShield Quickstart document [1], the vCenter configuration section says to check the configuration by going to "vSphere Client, select an ESX host and make sure that the vShield appears as a tab.

    First of all, I use the vSphere Web Client, not the client application, then where would this 'tab' be in the user interface?

    Then, just to check, I went in the client application, and I couldn't find the tab anyway.

    HOWEVER, when I go into the web interface of vShield, I see the data centers of my vCenter in the tree of "inventory" on the left side; such, it seems that the vCenter has been saved successfully.

    ALSO, is there an interface in the vCloud Director to control the vShield?

    Can someone give an overview of these issues?  Thank you!

    There is no such tag for the Web Client, 'functionality' (which is not really adding anything useful) is provided by a vSphere Client Plugin.

    You can view the list of vCenter Server Extensions in the Web Client, which should list your vShield Manager like in this picture of the attached example.

    Then, just to check, I went in the client application, and I couldn't find the tab anyway.

    Make sure that the vShield Manager plugin is enabled in the vSphere Client.

    HOWEVER, when I go into the web interface of vShield, I see the data centers of my vCenter in the tree of "inventory" on the left side; such, it seems that the vCenter has been saved successfully.

    If this is the case, then Yes, the connection between the vShield Manager and vCenter is good.

  • Partitions on SSD for the hypervisor host of vSphere5 (Free Edition)

    Hello

    This will be my first installation of a system of 5 hypervisor vSphere (Free Edition). My new PC will contain an SSD (120GB) for the vSphere host and VMs. in addition, it will contain a RAID controller with multiple SATA drives for data. My questions are:

    Do I have to create partitions on the SSD drive for installing vSphere 5?

    I read on http://vmetc.com/2009/07/22/best-practices-for-vsphere-esx-4-service-console-partitions/

    There is several necessary partiotions. Is the installation program automatically creates those partitions?

    Is it possible to store the computer virtual (System of each operating system partition) on this SSD also?

    I will store VMs for 2 x Windows7 (approximately 2x30GB), 1 x FreeNAS, 1 x Linux for Zarafa, 1 x Linux for many other services.

    Kind regards

    Oliver

    Hello and welcome to the forums.

    Do I have to create partitions on the SSD drive for installing vSphere 5?

    No, the installation program will take care of everything for you.

    Is it possible to store the computer virtual (System of each operating system partition) on this SSD also?

    Yes, the installer will create a VMFS on the SSD volume where you can place these files.

    Good luck!

  • upgrade esx 4.0 to esx 4.1 with Update Manager

    I'm trying to update the host esx 4.0 to esx 4.1.  The documentation I've read says that you can do this with the Update Manager in vCenter server.  I'm new to vmware/esx/vCenter esx and has just installed 4 a few months ago.  I'm following the instructions contained in the vCenter Update Manager Administration Guide.  I've already updated vCenter Server 4.1 and the guide is for version 4.1.  Top of page 90, say the instructions open the Update Manager and then choose the tab that says "host upgrade releases.  I don't see this as an option.  When I open the Update Manager, I see the following tabs: Getting Started, baselines and groups, Configuration, events, repository of Patch and that's it.  What Miss me?  I've read about this update 4.1 since last week and followed the 4.0 to 4.1 upgrade guide.  I want to download the upgrade zip I have download VMware but have no idea how to get it in the Update Manager.  Help, please.

    Thank you

    Which version of the Update Manager are you using? He should be in 4.1 to 4.0 to 4.1 ESX hosts improving

  • Edit event managed by this case in LabVIEW 2013 does not show the specifiers of the event, Event Sources and events on screen resolution 800 x 600

    Edit event managed by this case in LabVIEW 2013 shows not specifiers of the event, Event Sources and events on screen resolution 800 x 600.

    As far as I know, the list of supported resolutions is determined solely by the graphics card. It is possible that one used by the PC supports only 800 x 600 as maximum resolution, even if you plug an external monitor.

    Like Dennis suggested, the recommended option would probably be to develop on another PC and only deploy an executable for the industrial PC. That's what we do with our systems (although not because of this problem, but because it makes sense. There absolutely no need to have the IDE installed in most of our systems).

    Other options:

    1. See if you can get an update of the driver from the manufacturer to solve this problem.
    2. Plug a USB Monitor with its own driver.
    3. Try to hide the taskbar and make the smaller title bar in the hope that the bug manifests.
    4. Try remote access in the PC. I think that some remote access programs allow you to specify custom resolutions that are not affected by the original drivers. Remote Desktop seems to be a likely this option even if it has been awhile since I've used it.
    5. Check the BIOS. I saw at least one industrial PC where there was some settings in the BIOS to control the resolution, but I don't remember the details, and it was quite limited. I think that in this case, you can change the resolution, but then the image does not fill the entire screen.

    Hello

    I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the AVG edition free 2011 from AVG Web site. This should solve the problem.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    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.

  • How to separate vShield Manager with vCenter

    People, we have installed vShield manager. Before you configure devices such as EDGE or APP, we decided to go for some change major grace to which we would like to uninstall the vShield Manager. I just wanted to know how we can separate vShield Manager with vCenter or simply if I delete device it will be deleted?

    Please help.

    Thank you and best regards.

    Hari.

    No,

    VShield manager is a device managed by plug-in.

    If you previously uninstall component vshield vshield link manager, you can remove the device and then remove the plug in. (like other component like Vmware Data recovery,...)
