• How does the vSphere with external Fax and USB license keys?

  I intend P2Vng a couple of servers, but one of them has an external modem for faxing. Another server has a USB key.

  It will cause problems? Will it be possible to virtualize these?

  Hello

  VSphere 4.1 supports the USB transfer I think still that a USB to the device of the IP works better that thereby you do not pin a virtual computer to a given host. HA, DRS, FT still works.

• -= Decommissioning of a license key on ESXi host in order to import in vCenter Server Essentials 6 =-

  Our company recently bought a license for VMware vCenter Server 6 Essentials for vSphere (VCS6-ESSL-C) with license keys for VMware vSphere Essentials 6 for 1 processor (ha6-ESSL-C).

  I accumulated vCenter Server 6 on a physical device and assigned the new relevant license key, as well as installed Update Manager Server on this machine. This instance seems to be functional and functional.

  Now, I'm trying to import 3 x ESXi hosts in this environment which have the license keys from an environment "vSphere advanced 5. These 3 hosts are administered under an instance of VM of vSphere vCentre, that I want to the Commission under this license and the license on these hosts is no longer valid after a takeover of the company.

  Question:

  (A) Comment can I get correctly to the setting of these hosts so that I can use the new vSphere license key 6 that I received?

  (B) should I upgrade these hosts to v6 ESXi befin environment to use this new license key?

  (C) do I need to disable features on the hosts in order to apply to apply this license key "6 of vSphere Essentials?

  (D) what is the correct order for doing all these things to use this new environment vCentre?

  Thanks in advance for any assistance given.

  Concerning

  Grant

  I havn't done it myself yet, but I think you should be able to achieve your goal, follow these steps:

  -downgrade license keys CPU Essentials to v5 im Portal MyVMware

  -the value of the new vCenter Server Evaluation Mode (actually maybe not necessary)

  -Add the licenses of Essentials v5 license vCenter inventory 6

  -Add hosts to the new vCenter Server ESXi 5.5 and assign licenses Essentials guests

  -re - assign the license previously removed to vCenter Server

• Install ESXi/ESX/Vsphere on a single isolated standalone workstation

  In the hardware compatibility list, I noticed that the HP Z840 workstation is compatible with ESXi/ESX/Vsphere. In fact, the HP Z840 is the only HP computer that is not a server and still included in this list of compatibility.

  For the moment, I have a unique stand-alone HP Z820 workstation.

  If I decide to upgrade to a new computer HP Z840 independent, I will be able to install, configure and use ESXi/ESX/Vsphere on it and install top one, two or more systems of guest OS designed to run simultaneously, without having to connect this workstation Z840 even temporarily on another computer, separate console or network?

  There are two types of virtualization-

  1 bare Metal virtualization-

  ESXi is a virtualization software, have you install directly on the physical server from bare metal hardware. ESXi is very compact.

  Then to manage ESXi host and create the virtual machine on ESXi host, you need a system more to run vSphere Client or use client Host.

  ESXi directly access physical resources, which improve the performance of virtual machines.

  2 hosted virtualization-

  VMware workstation is a hosted type virtualization software, install you it on any system Windows or Linux and then create virtual machine on it.

  Windows underlying system provides material resources to virtual machines created in workstation that's why you get no good performance of the VM as compare to ESXi

  Today VMware workstation 12 perform as well, if you simply create VMS to test or purpose LAB VMware workstation will also work.

  For good performance, then you must ESXi host at least a Client system to manage ESXi and VMs.

• Upgrade VMWare ESXi VMware vSphere Hypervisor 4.0.0

  Hello

  Is it possible to upgrade 398348 for the new VMware vSphere Hypervisor, the free version of VMWare ESXi 4.0.0?

  
  How would I go all upgrade without losing the virtual machines that are currently in the data store?

  VMware ESXi hypervisor and share binaries of same exact. It is only the license key that locks or unlocks various features. Then switch between editions is basically just replace the license key.

  Because the binaries are the same for all editions, for example the 4.1 version update procedure is the same too. Just follow the link DSTAVERTS the Guide to upgrade (search for vihostupdate).

  PS: You can also take a look at http://blog.peacon.co.uk/wiki/Upgrading_ESXi_4_to_4.1 which includes the steps of the update

• Differences between ESXi and Vsphere hipervisor

  Hi guys,.

  I need to understand the difference between ESXI and Vsphere hipervisor.

  Is it correct to say that Vsphere ESX?

  Help will be very useful.

  Thank you very much

  vSphere is the range of products, including (hypervisor) ESX, vCenter (management) etc.

  In comparison, you asked "Is this correct to say that a shoe laces"?  No, not really.  One is a part of the whole.

• Hypervisor ESXi and vSphere?

  Hi all

  I just noticed in the download section. Is ESXi 4.1 hypervisor identical to what we download from the inside of the section of vSphere?

  In addition, in vSphere article is there a difference between various essential category, Standard, etc? Because when I click on them, the content is all the same.

  Thank you.

  There is no difference in the binaries. According to the license key that you apply, the different functions are locked or unlocked.

• to get to license key expired eval of vsphere 4.0 hypervisor (ESXi free)

  I tried vmware website but am not having a bit of luck, maybe I'm just not up to looking in the right area or using the right terminology.

  My problem, I have a hypervisor host free 4.0, it's in trial mode, so I could test some backup vmware software (which I've never had to). I'm adding a couple more VM but it wont let me because the trial has expired. I just want to register or obtain a license key for the free version with 2 CPU physical for this host, but I can't figure out how to do this. Is it still possible? I can't get a free license for 4.0? I use this host as a temporary of the VM unloading while we have upgraded hard drives in another host. I could just wipe and start over, but the host has a couple VMs on it that I cloned the wire using vmware converter from another host. I don't want to move their return because it is a process of + 3 hours for each of them.

  Suggestions?

  You can register for a free http://www.vmware.com/go/get-free-esxi license key

  I'm not 100% sure, but I think the key is also good for 4.0.

• vSphere 4.1 5 upgrade and licensing issues

  I currently have two server PowerEdge 2900. They each have two processors to 4 cores of each and 24 GB of RAM. Each server has a license in advance of vSphere 4 for 2 physical processors (1-12 cores). I also have vCenter 4 Foundation installed and licensed.

  I am looking to buy a new PowerEdge 620 with 2 processors, 8 cores each, and 128 GB of RAM.

  I want to do the following.

  1) upgrade the vCenter 4 to 5 license. Upgrade 2 CPUs with a value of 4 advance to 5 Enterprise vSphere vSphere licenses.

  2) update my installation of vCenter vCenter 4 5.

  (3) install ESXi 5 on new server PowerEdge 620.

  (4) migrate all virtual machines (guests) to a PowerEdge 2900 server to the new server 620.

  (5) Server Decomission the 2900 now blank.

  (6) keep the other server 2900 HA around and the low priority. VMs (I'm undecided as to whether I should upgrade to ESXi 5 on this one).

  Changes to licenses of 4 to 5 seems like a maze, but according to my calculations, 2 processors of licence 4 set to upgrade to 5, should give me enough for 2 CPUs and 128 GB of vRAM on the 620. It's my first time going through an upgrade like this, so I was hoping that someone with more experience could weigh in on this plan. I'm completely missing something, and he will be missed horribly? Any extra info / advice is appreciated.

  Thank you

  ... it is said that the old license get deactivated after the new ones are issued...

  Don't worry about this. Only old license on the portal keys will be disabled when you upgrade the key to v5. There is no license on your systems check, which will disable the host or vCenter Server.

  André

  PS: Although there is no verification of the license, it is your responsibility to ensure that the old and the new licenses are not used simultaneously. It would be a violation of the EULA.

• ESXi license key change

  Hello

  I checked the forum and also did some google

  I found below

  https://damiankarlson.com/2010/09/06/vSphere-licensing-via-PowerCLI/

  But it seems for esxi 4 x, may so that be with powercli x 6, we have a better way to do it?

  I want to change the license key for the esxi servers in a cluster, any guide please?

  Thank you

  And you have tested that it works with vSphere 6.x?

  I suspect that the Get-LicenseDataManager might be a better choice.

  No problem Peter

  Then connect to MyVMware, and then on the home page you should be able to select all downloads 'Quick links' to the right of the window that will be you to all products from the download page.

  Of here beneath Datacenter & Cloud Infrastructure with VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) and click on see the components that will take you to the download VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) page that must have the Select Version to download: area just below the drop-down 6.0 default title.

  Select 5.0 from this menu drop-down, and the product must move to VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5.0.0 U3 which is the latest version 5.0.  Click on download.

  You may now see the VMware vSphere Hypervisor 5.5 Download Center, probably with a message saying that you are not registered for this product if yes click on Register under the button close the session in the Welcome to the right area and submit your details.

  You then return to the 5.5 Download Center, if you scroll through the packages download section 5.5 will be expanded, continue and you will find all previous versions of 5.x by download.  The key listed in the license information section will work for one of these versions.

  Good luck!

• Allocation of vSphere with a host operations management licenses

  Hi all

  How in the world I assign VMware vSphere with standard 5.5 license management operations to a host? The implementation has been green field, so we bought the acceleration for vCenter server kit that comes with 6 licenses vSphere with the direction of the operation. I've got Ops Manager works well and himself is allowed and can see all hosts. We also bought 12 additional licenses for 18 in total, and I can see the other 12 and assign them to hosts, but can not see the original 6. I never could.

  

  Any help appreciated.

  André

  Finally, I called support license and solved it. I had to downgrade 6 Operations Manager vCenter licenses in order to see them. My hosts are all on ESX 5.1. The downgrade is made of my.vmware.com--> license keys--> I want to: Downgrade from licenses. He worked as expected after that.

• Can not get the eval of vsphere license key

  People,

  Successfully, I registered for an assessment of vSphere with operations management and got my license key "VMware vCenter Operations Management Suite 5.7. When I try to apply this key to my vCenter Server I get the error "license error: 5" "Diagnostic message: not found license file ' (see image). I get this error even when you try to apply this key to my 5.1 ESXi server.

  (Moderator note: capture with screen a.p. deleted license key!)

  I KNOW the license key is not for vsphere, but rather for Operations Manager, but How can I get a trial for vSphere license key? Is it possible to apply the license key that I got to vCenter or should I install the vCenter operations Management unit and apply this license key for this server? The procedure to apply my evaluation license key is NOT FACT CLEAR in all the documentation I've found so far on the assessment of vSphere.

  Could someone PLEASE provide a definitive statement on how to use my provided evaluation license key (see picture) and how to obtain and to correctly apply an evaluation of my vCenter Server license?

  

  I would be very grateful for any help.

  
  Thank you.

  Some products require a key for evaluation and others do not. vCenter Server and ESXi running in eval without key mode, but vCOPS requires a key.

  You can use the license on any installation that you like, as long as ensure you that each license is used only once. What you need to do to be completely compatible with the EULA - if you want to use the license with your current configuration - is to install the production environment without adding licenses (i.e. run in eval mode), then migrates virtual machines, withdraw the licenses of pre-production systems and add them to the production system. It is not necessary to republish the keys or something like that, the keys remain the same.
