ESXi 5 for host with more than 32 GB of RAM

Hello, Dear Sirs!

I'm tempted vmware ESXi 5 on our small server and it works fine (server has 16 GB of RAM). Thank you!

Now, we decided to perform a small upgrade and increase RAM, say, up to about 90 GB.

I hear a guy (and also various discussions here and there, applied to different versions of ESXi and ESX) this license free (but still required registration) of ESXi allow only up to 32 GB of RAM. Is this true for the 5th version of ESXi. In other places (like http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2009/06/esxi-vs-esx-a-comparison-of-features.html), this information do not confirmed.

If this is the case, we would like to purchase a license. But here, I stuck too: what type of license do we choose?

I am confused with vSphere, vCenter, and many other things, never tried they...

It seems like we don't have that one server, so I guess we are a staff of vSphere, do we?

BTW, there are several processors (as I know) and each of them has several nuclei. Do take effect on the process of choice?

Thank you very much!

Welcome to the community,

For the current licenses, see http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere_pricing.pdf

Free hypervisor is indeed limited to 32 GB of physical memory, while all the other editions (paying) are licensed per processor/socket, without any limitation on the hearts by taking power or memory. In your case - assuming you ESXi host have not more than 2 Sockets - I suggest that you take a look at the edition of Essentials.

  • Can I add more than 4 GB of RAM for my 37 s Inspiron from Dell?

    I am running Windows Vista Home 64 bit. My computer is now about four years old, but I don't have the money to drop on a brand new computer. However, I found a graphics card that must adapt to the inside and the race (it was recommended to the user who is running a system like mine on another post on the forum). Now, I just need a RAM upgrade, because I do not think that 4 GB enough for me anymore. Once I update the graphics that I intend using this PC mainly for gaming. I did my research and I think that if I upgrade the graphics and RAM, I should be able to do what I want to do with this computer. Ideally, I would switch to 8 GB of RAM, but I'll settle for 6 GB. I just need to know if it is possible to operate this computer with more than 4 GB of RAM, because I've not heard elsewhere.

    It is not a model 37 s, but if you mean the 537 s, the maxium of RAM is 4 GB. http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Inspiron%20537s&cat=RAM

  • Cannot start a virtual machine with more than 1 CPU socket added

    I've set up a few boxes of ESXi 5.5 with the free license in recent weeks, they have all been without problems so far. All 4 servers have the same exact hardware

    Environment:

    Dell Poweredge T620

    Guest operating system is Server2012r2 on all virtual machines

    Installed it on ESXi 3 previous were conducted with custom ESXi 5.5 Dell without problem.

    The 4th is where I will have questions. I used the following ESXi installed just in case there is a bug somewhere

    5.5 of VMware ESXi

    ESXi 5.5 customized by Dell

    5.5 U1 of VMware ESXi

    Any version of the ESXi I use I can't have a virtual machine to begin with more than 1 CPU socket added to it. The virtual machine does not start even the VMWare BIOS. I tried the Bios EFI as well with no luck. The error message I get in the events is ' fatal error VMware ESX: vcpu (vcpu-X)-X:VM - entry failed; Valid VMCS (error code 8). The vcpu-X is always another. I have attached the log file is created. If I give the VM 1 single processor TI starts very well. I'm at a loss as to what could be the issue.

    Problem is solved. I caught another server with identical hardware, verified it worked properly, then started to swap parts between them. Turned out to be CPU1. Once this has been replaced from a working server I have not had any problems. Warranty has been appealed.

    Thanks for all the help!

  • Licenses to create a virtual machine is second with more than 8 cores?

    So, we have a machine with 4 physical Sockets with 16 cores on each. We bought 4 licenses of vmware's standard. Now, we saw early on that the number max of hearts that we assign to a virtual machine was 32, which isn't really a big problem, 32 is a lot for our needs. So we have a 32 core virtual machine running and some other smaller, but now when I try to create another virtual machine with more than 8 cores it tells me that I have insufficient licenses.

    Can anyone provide more information on that? If I can create a virtual machine with more than 8 cores, why I can't create a new one?

    He said authorized to 4 physical processors, so it's ok, it's using your Standard licenses.

    During the 60-day trial, you could create more large virtual machines, because the 60 days run with Enterprise Plus features. Now that you are using the standard license, you can create only 8 vCPU VMs.

    Solution:

    You should spend 5.5 ESXi. Your license will also work for 5.5 and you'll be able to create virtual machines with up to 64 vCPUs.

    Hello

    First of all I must say it is really hard to say something about it without having heard this noise you want to say.

    Generally speaking, it of normal that you hear some noises during writing or reading process of the HARD drive.
    You can test your HARD drive for bad sectors using Drive Fitness Test. Which is a freeware tool that can check the HARD disk.

    Hello

    Is it possible to only list all my s vm in my environment with more than one network card?

    I tried using the Get-NetowrkAdapter cmdlet, but could not get the desired results.

    Get - VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Select-Object Name. ConvertTo-HTML-head $a - body "Virtual Machines < H2 > < / H2 > ' | Out-file D:\vms.htm

    Thank you

    Hello, AGFlora-

    Of course, you can do this with the standard as cmdlets:

    ## using standard cmdletsGet-VM | Select Name, @{n="NumNICs"; e={(Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $_ | Measure-Object).Count}} | ?{$_.NumNICs -gt 1}
    

    Or, if you want to get the results a little (or a lot) more quickly, you can use the cmdlet Get-view as:

    ## fast-like, using Get-ViewGet-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name,Config.Hardware.Device | Select Name,@{n="NumNICs"; e={($_.Config.Hardware.Device | ?{$_ -is [VMware.Vim.VirtualEthernetCard]} | Measure-Object).Count}} | ?{$_.NumNICs -gt 1}
    

    Those are both by selecting the names of virtual machines and their number of network cards.  Then you can direct this output to Export-Csv, ConvertTo-HTML, what you like.  What to do for you?

  • need to vmdk with more than size of 2 TB

    Hello

    I install ESXi5 on 2 x 72 > RAID 5 and create VMs on it (2008), now I have to create vmdk and assign it to this virtual machine with more than 2.5 TB of size.

    I creat new RAID set and now I have data store with 3 TB space, but I can't to creat 2.5 or more to vmdk

    How can I create?  How can I activate the RAW Disk Mapping on the local storage?...

    you will not see local hard drives, it is already in the RAID, then only you can see the raid volume. Which is given below

    MPX.vmhba2:C0:t0:l0<-- disk="">

    MPX.vmhba2:C0:t0:l0:1<-- partition="">

    MPX.vmhba2:C0:t0:l0:2<-- partition="">

    It is not recommended to violate the recommended settings and rules given by vmware, it will raise many problems and if it is in production you will be screwed. On the thing you can do, is to create dynamic disks and create a split volume.

    http://www.Techotopia.com/index.php/Creating_and_Managing_Simple_and_Spanned_Volumes_on_Windows_Server_2008

    If you still want to go for RDM local pause, the RAID and see if it detects the ESX or not and if you can see the individual disks and if you are able to make RDM with these discs, then back to the VM will intervene only individual HDD so no raid and protection? So it is very risky
