ESXi 4.0 installed installed vsphere expired license
Don't know what to do here. I'm just trying to add a license. My demo expired on esxi and I found solutions to add a license but they all seem to involve "BUYING" something. While I don't mind not buying something I really evaluated anythign enough to know what to buy. No, I just plug my license key. When I opened vSphere and click on home - & gt; I don't see that administration roles, I don't see anything that indicates licenseing.
I have to BUY vCenter install a key?
Sorry, I was thinking about VI - 3 - follow the procedure below:
License a host without vCenter Server
If you are directly connected to the host through the vSphere Client, you register the host.
Procedure
1 in the vSphere Client, click the Configuration tab.
2 under the software, click licensed features.
3 click on change.
4 assign a license key.
-Select assign an existing license key to this host and select a license key in the product list.
-Select assign a new license key at this host, click on the Enter key and enter a license key, and an optional
the license key label.
5 click OK.

Can I install a vCenter license-free in my lab ESXi?
Can I install a vCenter license-free in my lab ESXi?
I have material available since I migrated to our company SAN ESXi and want to create a laboratory. I have a few questions:
(1) can I install a vCenter license-free in my lab ESXi or am I can only use vSphere to connect to my ESXi 2 lab hosts?
(2) create a cluster environment even if I use the free ESXi version to mimic my ESXi connected to a San company Production?
Thank you.
Hello
Yes, you can install vCenter license-free, since it will take place for the 60-day trial. I free ESXI host cannot be managed by vCenter, if it will not mimic your production http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1018275 plant

How can I know raid 0 SSD when I install Vsphere ESXi 6?
Hello
I would say for me to understand in advance because I can't speak English well.
Today, I tried to install ESXi vsphere 6 on ssd drive that put in raid0. RAID0 consisted of two 500 GB drives.
When I install Windows Server R2 2012 to check the status of the raid 0, I can see good about 1 TB drive and when I try to install vsphere 6 ESXi, I see two 500 GB drives. It didn't consist of raid 0
Why can't vsphere ESXi 6 recognize raid 0 disk?
Frankly, defining VMware products is the first time today. Please explain and tell me to resolve method.
This questions is more likely caused by an unsupported software RAID controller. VMware supports only hardware RAID controllers that have the physical disks and logical volumes for operating systems. Some hardware manufacturers provide additional drivers for their own material as well.

Using the hard drive on HP Proliant after installing VSPhere ESXi 5
I recently installed VSphere ESXi 5 on a HP Proliant server. I've migrated several virtual machines successfully on, with access via client vsphere. I'm trying to find out whether the server is in Raid 5. I called HP and they said that the only way to know is to insert the smart startup disk. I inserted, but I don't know how to access the disk. I know this is probably very simple, but I'm lost. Thanks for your help.
It depends on if you a raid controller enough disks and supported your server to take a RAID5 configuration.
Download the HP smart start ISO, ILO mount or burn a CD to boot off the coast so that you can launch the utility of configuration of matrices (ACU). It's really something that should have been done before the ESXi installation.
See the example below;
See you soon,.

We are on vSphere 5.0 indefinitely.
I really need to get the 5.5 x 64 vmxnet3 vSphere interface drivers NETWORK to put in a picture of Windows startup.
How can I do this without having to install vsphere 5.5 everywhere?
I don't currently have the means to do a 5.5 install any...
Maybe someone could PM me a zip file containing only the required files?
Thank you, Tom

What are the advantages and disadvantages about installing vSphere 5 on USB
I am having trouble to make the iscsi boot and mused with a temporary workaround.
I want to install vSphere 5 on a USB key, boot on USB and when all the problems with boot iscsi are resolved, use vMotion to migrate the virtual machine to another ESX host.What are the advantages and disadvantages regaring USB-install?
Maybe it's even better that run start iscsi.
Hello
We have no difference between USB install and install ESXi on hard drive. all functions and features are the same. You have following additional configuration on USB Installer if necessary
-Remote Syslog configuration
-Netdump configuration or change the coredump on hard drive partition by creating additional VMKcore on hard drive.
-Try to use the qualified USB key (refer to the hardware vendor documentation).
Not looking for any specific limitation other than mentioned above.
Thank you

Can I buy vSphere 5.0, but install vSphere 4.1 instead
Hello
Can I buy vSphere 5.0, but install vSphere 4.1 instead? I think I would need to download the VMware Partner Portal installation files?
vSphere 4 can not run on the licenses of right of vRAM, where the license downgrade to the old model
I must point out that it is not by the processor but per-socket CPU
Also the two vSphere 4 and vSphere 5 uses the CPU socket licenses, vSPhere 5 have just a heading of vRAM according to license type and average used vRAM
Thus on vSphere 5 you would allow still all 1 CPU sockets, and depending on the used vRAM you could need an extra license to inflate the vRAM
If you have for example a HP BL460c G7 has 2 Sockets and about 338 GB of physical RAM

Where to install vSphere...
Hi all... Just recently, we bought 3 Dell R710s and plan using those of our virtual envirnoment. Once install ESXi on each of these servers where am I suppose to install vSphere? We buy a server separate mangement and I can't put it on a virtual machine, since I need vSphere to create virtual machines.
Thoughts, Suggestions?
Thank you
Bob
EAST of vSphere, ESXi (or ESX) with the manangement Add-ons...
If you talk about vCenter, then just make a virtual machine on one of the hosts (on the shared storage), and then start here by setting her up. I did it more than once with great success... Given the vCenter Server as a virtual machine has several advantages, not the least of which is able to vMotion if the host on which it is actually will Dim.
What type of SAN used for the virtual machine? What you install ESXi on (on the physical host computers)? Although you can install ESXi for flash drives, I still prefer to install on a pair of SAS drives in a RAID 1 configuration. You do not have very large need, or fast (anything over 10 k rpm and you're golden) to do the job. You could do it with SATA drives, but you're better off with SAS (highest number of reliability). I also like the RAID 1 configuration in the event of disk failure. Just more resilient to failure, or one less point of single failure...
BTW, I would also use a real SQL Server for the database for vCenter parts and it is. IMO, far better than that of SQL Express that comes with the installation program. Of course, you CAN go with SQL Express, but you'll have more options under full SQL Management... Do the SQL Server as an another VM (so you will first make two VM) or use an existing SQL Server (for now)... If you use an existing SQL Server, I would intend to migrate to virtual as soon as you can.

Patching ESXi 4.1 installed with custom image
Hello
Our company has several ESXi 4.x - hosts installed with HP or DELL-customized images.
If I install the patches with VUM without doing something more, simply by using the patches automatically downloaded VMware, they then somehow will overwrite the DELL/HP-installation custom ESXi? (Leaving me with a fully functioning but the host not custom).
Or are the standard VMware patches without affecting the part 'tailor-made' installation?
Concerning
Matthias
The patches that you apply do not overwrite OEM customizations.
http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/ESXi_management.pdf :
The basic hypervisor code can also contain custom code provided by suppliers of servers (OEM) that provides additional features, such as monitoring and hardware support information. These customizations would be present, for example, if had ESXi embedded format of the manufacturer of the server or a customized version of ESXi has been installed on
the hard drive. Any update to an existing installation of ESXi integrates automatically the correct update of this custom code.

How do I know where my esxi OS is installed?
Hello
I am looking at a host and I'm trying to find out where the image of the operating system is installed.
I have access to the host using the vi or SSH client. I don't have physical access to the server.
The vi client, I see 2 VMFS data warehouses. but that doesn't tell me anything.
If I putty ssh on the server, how can anyone know where, what partition, or what drives the esxi image is installed?
Thank you.
An easy way to find out if ESXi is installed on the drive of dives and on which of them is to open the properties of the data store. This won't show information about the store of data itself, but also on the disk partitions.

Hello. I recorded and downloaded VMWare ESXi and VSphere about 2 months ago and got it running on our server.
Today when I logged with VSphere, he said the trial period is over and I need to get a license.
I connected to VMWare and checked the download link of VSphere with the binaries for 5.5.0 ESXI and VSphere 5.5.0 and told me that I had not registered for the product.
I signed up for the product and the files were available and I also saw the license key at the top of the download area.
I copied the license key and went to VSphere, connected to my ESXi and click on Configuration, feature under license and change.
I Clicked New Assign will authorize and pasted the license key in the box and click ok.
Then I clicked OK to close the "assign license Dialog", but it came with and error "an error occurred during the license specified key assignment: license is not valid for this product".
I tried several times and have not been able to apply the license.
Help, please!
Check if you used the appropriate license key. Make sure that you do not vcenter licenses for Esxi host. Error message clearly indicates that the license key is not valid for this product...
Kind regards

Re-installed copy under license of Photoshop CS2 (circa ' 05).
Adobe has provided PhSp_CS2_English.exe ADOBE provided: [deleted by Moderator] = > error: incorrect serial number.
Any ideas how to re - install a licensed copy of CS2?
Your original CS2, serial number no longer works... you must download the special version and use the serial number on the product page you select... Be careful, because it is easy to write incorrect serial number
CS2 (or earlier version) software activation server replacement... NOTE that CS2 will not install on a Mac "modern."
