• Want to take the certification VCP6-VTC, but I finished the 5.5 ESXi and vCenter Server 5.5

  Hello

  2 years ago I had the training for 5.5 ESXi and vCenter Server 5.5 - I wonder if that would satisfy the requirement and allows me to pass the exam VCP6-VTC?  Or should I stick with the VTC VCDP5 only?

  Have you taken after school.

  5.5 vSphere install, configure and manage.

  If so, please attend vSphere: what's new [5.5 to 6.0]

  It is a 2 day course that will allow you to take the exam VCP6-VTC.

  Otherwise, take VCP550 review and upgrade to VCP6-VTC in taking 2V0 - 621D.

• Cannot add 6 ESXi to vCenter

  Hello

  I hope someone can help, I'll through in circles!

  I am using ESXi for years, but always as unique hosts. Recently, I obtained a license for vCenter 6 essential elements and put on the creation of a laboratory.

  
  

  I have two ESXi hosts, a Mac Mini (192.168.1.0/24) and a Dell PowerEdge (192.168.10.0/24), the two v6 ESXi running. vCenter v6 is running on a virtual computer on the Dell Poweredge server and works. Can be connect/license/administer etc. Also, I added successfully to the Mac Mini to the new data center.

  
  

  However, I can't add the Dell Poweredge server. Whenever I pass by the host process add I get the following:

  
  

  "Unable to contact the specified host (hostname.domain.local). "The host may not be available on the network, may have a network configuration problem, or that the management on this host services may not respond"

  
  

  Also, when I have RDP on the vCenter virtual hosting machine I ping the server Poweredge ESXi by IP, host name and the FULL domain name, but I can not connect to it via vSphere Client. However, if I use my laptop (192.168.1.0/24 range GOLD 192.168.10.0/24) I can correctly connect the Poweredge ESXi server.

  
  

  Can I add a host ESXi, vCenter vCenter is running on this host?

  
  

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Can I add a host ESXi, vCenter vCenter is running on this host?

  Yes, you can, but you must ensure that the appropriate network ports are open between ESXi and vCenter. VCenter Server both the ESXi (to PowerEdge) are running on the same subnet?

• The traffic between a host ESXi and vCenter Server is secure?

  Dear team,

  You pray let me know is traffic between a host ESXi and vCenter server (vice versa) is secure?

  The VC and ESXi version is 5.1U1a

  concerning

  Mr. VMware

  Default SSL certificates are installed automatically. However, you can configure the third-party SSL certificates to make the environment more secure.

• ESX, ESXi and vCenter and virtual machines

  Hello all - I need to re - certify my VCP this month so I decided to sit down this weekend to set up a virtual lab.  I managed to get ESX, ESXi and vCenter working all in s vm on my laptop in less than 4 GB.  I use Player version 3 for now.  I have Workstation 6.5 but I have to spend my VCP to get a key of 7 workstations and improve it.

  The manual is a bit long, but here is the link if you are interested.  I'll update everything to Workstation 7 after my review.  I hope that some of you find it useful!

  Nice - Thanks for posting.

  I doubt that you must update for Workstation 7 as VMplayer 3 is nothing else than a torn Workstation 7. It has the same basic functionality.

  So, nothing will be different if you use Workstation

  By the way - Starwind is really nice simulate a San.

  Another interesting thing, that you know may not...

  It is possible to assign up to 8 GB of RAM to your virtual ESXs, even if the host itself has only 4 GB of RAM.

  For this I have

  prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = 'TRUE '.

  prefvmx.minVmMemPct = '5 '.

  in the file config.ini from the host. Do not run and then

  Using this trick, I was able to run 4 ESX virtual machines on my laptop 4 GB RAM running 2 k 3-32 bit host

• Manage ESXi w / vCenter (Virtual Center) / what the purchase price? Want to just RUN. Nothing else possible?

  Hey guys... have to turn to the forums for an answer on this one. I got two different answers on the question of whether or not you can manage ESXi with vCenter. All I want to do is be able to handle my ESXi hosts through vCenter instead of shooting 8 Windows virtual infrastructure, it worked fine when I had 3 or 4 guests and was just testing how to be ESXi, now my infrastructure expands, in my view, it would be a good step.

  I didn't need Vmotion (first cannot afford it in the budget!) Secondly, we must other features that has the BASIC pack).

  1. first of all answer directly (called and talked to a guy on the phone in sales) of Vmware is YES. I can do, all I need is to buy the package of vCenter $5,000 with JUST vCenter, they have a package that has just vCenter.

  2. the response of my representative commercial, yes you can, but you will need to purchase a new license for EACH host, $995 for each MORE vCenter $5000. He was talking about the Foundation package

  So my question is, WHY should I update the ESXi license if Vmware SAID in their documentation (unless I read wrong) you can manage ESXi with vCenter? I have no problem paying the $ 5,000, as I have in the budget, but I can't do the agents too...

  Looking for a clear answer...

  Thank you guys.

  You would have to purchase licenses of Foundation for each of your ESXi hosts and vCenter.    The license of the Foundation includes vCenter agent license you need to manage each host.   See page 4 of the PDF http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vi_pricing3.pdfpricing.

• Add Server ESXi in Vcenter 5.5 cluster with a different number of socket

  I have 5 nodes compute node IBM Flex System X 240 8737T7M with 2 CPU Socket in a VMS Cluster with identical hardware and now I need to add 1 more IBM System Flex X 240 node calculate 8737T7M with 1 CPU Socket in the same cluster.

  Here are other points: -.

  VCA Mode is disabled in this cluster.

  5 existing and new are the same model of CPU and memory is of the same capacity.

  Only the difference is 5 knots with 2 sockets and another node is 1. Please notice is recommended and he face any technical problem.

  VMware ESXi 5.0 and Vcenter is 5.5

  
  

  Hello

  VCA mode is not required when the generations of CPU on the server is the same.

  Adding your host in the cluster will work then.

  He advised not to add servers to a cluster with mixed material config. A possible problem might be the Admission HA control for example settings. If you configure a number of hosts reserved for failover, you may encounter problems with your hosts do not match each other. Here, you define the ability to failover in percentage.

• Cluster with different versions of ESXi - version vCenter

  I have a 2 cluster nodes ESXi 5.0.0.

  I intend to spend one of the 2 nodes to ESXi 5.5 U2 by inserting the CD of U2 ESXi 5.5 in the CD from the host and performing an upgrade: is there a question I should?

  Since a few days/weeks, I can't upgrade the second node.

  Is there any problem if one of the 2 i ESXi 5.0.0 and the other nodes is 5.5 U2?

  I plan to upgrade my vCenter as well after the upgrade to 2 knots. Where can I see the version of the vCenter (a virtual Windows VM)?

  Hi guy,

  Yes, connect your vSphere Client to your vCenter server.

  In the inventory on the left, click the server vCenter Server. The version number and compilation appeared in the main tab on the right.

• The upgrade of our guests 5.0 ESXi and vCenter Server 5 and 5.5 Enterprise Plus

  We are the 4 upgrade hosts of ESXi 5 to 5.5

  We add 4 more guests with own ESXi 5.5 installed

  We are also upgrading our vCS 5 in the vCSA 5.5

  Using Enterprise + licenses

  Question: I'm trying to understand the best way to achieve this transition.  4 guests run about 100 virtual machines and 4 guests we add are clean slates.

  That's what I think... Please help me guys

  1. once the 4 new hosts are installed in the Datacenter clean running ESXi 5.5 I will deploy the vCSA ovf and register 4 guests with the Linux-based device.

  2. now, I have 4 new 5.5 ESXi hosts registered and running with vCSA 5.5 but I still have my old 4 guests with ESXi 5 and registered to the old vCS about 100 virtual machines running WIndows

  3. at this point I think stop on my older hosts 4 virtual machines and remove them from the vCenter Server inventory Windows and everything just their registration with the new vCSA

  4. Will be all my virtual machines or transferred with the hosts if I close them and put the hosts in maintenance mode?

  5. now, I should have all 8 guests registered with my new vCSA.  But the original 4 hosts have yet to be upgraded to ESXi 5.5

  6 move 100 virtual machines to the new 4 hosts running ESXi 5.5 and upgraded the 4 former hosts.

  7. now, I should have 8 guests with ESXi 5.5 using the vCSA

  See you soon!

  Pretty much.

  To make things easier, you can deploy the EGGS for vCSA in your current vCenter (if I remember correctly import an OVA using vCenter allows you to set certain options that should be set to the vCSA shell). After making sure that the vCSA online & configured, you can then install ESXi on all your new hosts, add them to a cluster in the vCSA and put a few trials of virtual machines on there to confirm the network setting is configured correctly. Once it's done (and assuming that the old and the new hosts use the same shared storage) you can stop the vCSA, remove it stock Windows vCS, please write it on one of your new hosts and turn on. You have now two environments (5.0 and 5.5). Next if you disconnect a host from 5.0 vCS (with virtual machines running on it), you can then connect it to the vCSA 5.5. Assuming that the vSwitchs standard networking of the exchanges that are the same name in both environments, you now can vMotion VMs between host 5.0 and 5.5 cluster. At this time, you can repeat with all remaining hosts until everything has been made the transition without service interruption. This will leave a lot of old objects in your old 5.0 vCS, but if that is getting trashed it isn't a big deal.

• Interoperability ESXi and vCenter Server

  Dear Sir

  You can use the vCenter 5.0 or 5.1 with ESXi 5.5?

  The version of the vCenter server must always be greater than (or equal) than the vSphere ESXi version.

  You can check all matrices interoperability here: VMware product interoperability Matrices

• Need help to change a creation of VM PowerCLI script to support host ESXi and vCenter

  I have the below script that I created with much help from LucD - thank you! This has served me well for my lab procedures rip - replace so far. This script works when I run it against my single ESXi host when it is not connected to my server vCenter, but it throws errors when I run this script when the host is connected to vCenter and it fails to implement the controller SCSI Paravirtual. I think when the host is under the control of vCenter that changed some of the settings.

  If I point to the vCenter instead of ESXi host, I still get the same problem. In addition, I would also add the ability to create virtual machines in pools of different resources of a cluster of vSphere. My name in data center's LAB and my Cluster is called Local with pools of resources like TestLab, etc. see Horizon.

  Ideas please!

• CONNECTOR of Esxi a Vcenter

  Buenas,

  Also lo sabreis answering rapido porque os habra pasado pero yo no doy con ello. I have a Vcenter con varios Esxi connected pero solo UN par ellos estan en UN rango red specific diferente al Vcenter as me already add el pero a los pocos segundos el host host is is disconnected gray aunque me muestra el arbol maquinas office. Tiendo than can be por algun puerto specific that I need open pero cual no is. ¿Sabeis as can be?

  Gracias!

  Investigando el tema he read that if between el Vcenter y el Esxi hay a NAT is desconectan cada minuto aprox. No self if hay alguna respond al respecto are only change el rback2 are imposible to me...

  Es a Vcenter 5.5 y Esxi 5.5

  Gracias

• 5.1 ESXi and vCenter 5.0

  Hello everyone.

  I just wanted to confirm - is it possible to add a host of 5.1 ESXi (remote) to a server vCenter ESXi environment 5.0 established? (I think I can add 5.1 to 5.1, but not of 5.1 to 5.0).

  Thank you.

• Migrate from ESXi hosting vCenter for vdSwitch

  Hello

  I'm trying to migrate my two 5.1 ESXi (port management and virtual machine) for distributed virtual switch but one of them host the vCenter 5.1. I import one successfully, but the one with the vcenter may not be imported. Is there a quick way to do without re install the vCenter?

  Thanx.

  If the vCenter is on a storage shared between two hosts of ESXi. Stop the VM vCenter. Once turned off.

  Connect to the two hosts individually using vSphere client by using the credentials of the root.

  Remove the vCenter VM inventory and re-register to the host using dvswitch.

  On the VM vCenter back and migrate the other host to dvswitch now.

• VMAP eliminates ESXi and VCenter Lab installs, thanks to greedy Pirates.

  I run a class of Virtualization Technologies. My college has acquired a subscription of VMAP mainly to use to set up our training lab.

  We run 18 servers Dell T110 with 16 GB of memory.

  We also run 18 desktops Dell with 8 GB of memory.

  Here's how I run the class of 16 weeks (used to):

  Each student would be:

  1. Install a version of eval of 180 days of Windows 2008 R2 on a bare desktop.
  2. Install Workstation 8 on the desktop. Introduce students to the concepts of virtual machines. Workstation is ideal for this.
  3. Bring their own USB 16 GB class and install ESXi 5.0 on it running on the server.
  4. Install the VCenter Server (and client) directly on the desktop.
  5. Create a VM virtual host two additional ESXi
  6. Create an another VM of the VCenter Server virtual appliance.
  7. Start creating virtual machines, Clusters, ect.

  The point is, each student will learn a wide range of features in VSphere. Each student has at least THREE ESXi licenses and need TWO licenses of VCenter Server.

  At the end of the class, the laboratory is demolished (uninstalled all the software).

  The VMAP subscription that my college bought recently announced that Install lab licenses are more offered for VCenter or ESXi products.

  Now, I only use the version of 60 days?

  Is there any way around this?

  I could create 50 or so "student users" and get the individual keys for each. I would then have to use each key individually on all hosts in the laboratory.

  Students enrolled in this class were very happy to try the VSphere environment, something they could not do at home.

  Why not just offer the installation lab keys that have a duration of 1 year. This woul be more long enough for any semester length class.

  Or VMware wants to only close the non academic 'partner' classes offered. The "certified" classes use the same account VMAP of Kivuto however. How do they make their laboratories?

  Other classes in this direction have found that the best way to run the class is to one) ask students to work in pairs or larger teams, so that they can share their licenses; and (b) have them download license keys themselves, as you suggest. They don't necessarily three license keys for ESXi each however, given that each license key has an associated CPU count (2 or 4, depending on the product) which can be used to activate the host several processors. Note that we recently made vCloud Suite available to students in addition to vSphere, which in the past was only available for teachers and staff, so there are various options for which products the students use in class.

  Happy to discuss this further with you help succeed your class.
