ESXi and vi client
IM reading on the esxi installation and it talks about the vi client download to control esxi. I can't seem to find a client to download vi or the cost of it for the trial period, he mentioned... Please point me in the right direction
point your favorite web browser to the IP address or the domain of your host ESX (i) FULL name, here, you can download the client.

How to correctly record the ESXi 4.0 and vSphere Client for free?
Hello everyone.
Can someone help me with registration
of free VMware ESXi 4.0? I am totally confused with the process I
certainly do not understand.
My goal is to install and use ESXi
4.0 and manage via vSphere client with free licenses free of charge for
more than 60 dayes. Is it possible?
Installation of its products
gone without problems, but failed to save. I found a few
suggestion on other threads, but nothing helped. Give me a hand please,
I will be grateful.
I'll write what I did:
I went to the http://www.vmware.com/products/esxi/ site.
I read that I can get the free license for VMware ESXi 4 and VMware vSphere Client.
Decided to download this software, registered and was redirected to
the site where I could download iso 4 ESXi and vSphere Client .exeInstallation and basic configuration of ESXi on the bare metal and vSphere Client Windows XP without problems.
I am able to create virtual machines and use it - it's OK, but vSphere Client know that I have to the 60-day trial.
Meanwhile I received the email with "Activate your VMware ESXi license".
I have
Click on the link in the e-mail and was redirected to the same
the site, where I can download the software, but on the top of the web page I can
find information and a 'ESXI licenses""this license key is valid.
"for VMware ESXi 3.5 Update 2 and later versions. So I guess it's also valid
for ESXI 4.0. I'm I right?I would like to record my ESXi 4 software installed and the vSphere Client. Of
I chose the vSphere Client Menu: help - & gt; VMware on the web - & gt;
Sign up for now. The site ask me "series/license number Activation".
Code"so I typed the license key. Iassume that this license key should not be placed here, because the web site of replay that: "Code of Activation of series/license number has already been registered. So how do?
As I wrote, I'm confused. How to correctly record the ESXi 4.0 and vSphere Client? What I did wrong and how to fix?
To register the serial number in your ESX4i host
Home-> inventory-> higher level (your ESXi host)
Tab Configuration
Left side - features licensed
Edit-> Assign new key for this host-> Enter Key
Paste your key
Confirm all
Your ESXi server is now fully licensed
Note: you no longer have the basic features and all the enterprise features that came with a trial license are no longer valid

ESXi and local RAID 1 - do not know if it works
I have setup a RAID 1 (2 discs) on my box of ESXi. Now I loaded ESXi and registered in with the vSphere client. In "The memory", is to show both of these drives. Should it only showing a?
I thought that ESXi should see 'one' in the car for me to put on.and data warehouses, then the RAID controller would just reflect. But when I try to create a data store, it allows me to opt for the second time either of these discs on first, then the other drive. Is this job right? This doesn't seem to be just if I can just add warehouses of data on each disk individually.
which means that you are not using the controller RAID HRDWARE and using your software RAID. in esxi software RAID is not supported

a few questions about ESXi and SAN CF with HP P2000 G3
Hello everyone!
I am new to ESXi and SAN, then I need help for her.
I have Encolosure C7000 system with 4 blades BL460c already installed ESXi 5.1U1 (HP custome ISO image). Everything works fine now, but I do not understand something:
-What is the management network which I use vSphare Client to connect to? It is a private network to manage ESXi servers what difference with VMnetwork used by Virtual Machines? Because I've set up an IP address for this connection manually, but it is of course separate with IP addresses, I used on Virtual Machines.
-If my system has problem, so I have to reinstall ESXi, license keys can be used again? Already, I have 8 license key for 4 blades (2 CPUs per server), but they have not yet used. Because I am new to ESXi, cause I had to reinstall ESXi several times to understand.
-When I install successful ESXi, I don't know how to start working with SAN. What should I configure P2000 before it be plugged into the SAN switch? Or I can plug it then config later? Because I don't see it on the ESXi server. And on the OS I installed on the Guest Virtual Machines, I see nothing new in Device Manager. I thought that this guest operating system will detect the mezzanine card. But I see only mezzanine card that connect to the P2000 by SAN switch in ESXi (see image here http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/684/dsc04088k.jpg ). To my knowledge, I think that ESXi server have to detect the P2000 as hardware device. Can someone teach me step by step install and configure a San on ESXi? Or show me a tutorial because I searched but only iSCSI results.
My devices:
01 7.1 HP BLc7000 CTO 3 IN LCD ROHS Encl.
04 BL460c G8 servers HP FlexFabric 8.5 10 Gb 2 p 554FLB FIO blade adapter
02 7.3 HP B-series 8/12 c BladeSystem SAN Switch
01 HP P2000 G3 MSA FC Dual Controller
Thanks for any help, sugession or comment!

Because I've set up an IP address for this connection manually, but it is of course separate with IP addresses, I used on Virtual Machines.
Yes, it's a separate network used only for traffic management between ESXi hosts and vCenter - it is also the network used to connect to the environment - that's different, then the network used by your virtual machines
-If my system has problem, so I have to reinstall ESXi, license keys can be used again? Already, I have 8 license key for 4 blades (2 CPUs per server), but they have not yet used. Because I am new to ESXi, cause I had to reinstall ESXi several times to understand.
Yes the license keys can be reused, and if you use vCenter licenses will be managed by vCenter

Yes, you will be able to configure the San later - by default, the virtual machine will not see the SAn, as it is virtualized by your ESXi host - all the VM will see is a virtual SCSi disk - this doc's guide to vmware for storage - http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-511-storage-guide.pdf - you can visit the website of HP they might have documentation on configuring P2000 for vSphere -.

Hello
I can't start a discussion in the community CLI to I write here.
When I try to use the CLI tools to manage a few shots on an ESXi 4 Server I get strange errors.
CMD: snapshotmanager.pl - Server XXX.XXX.XXX. XXX - XXXXXX - nom_snapshot Test vmname - create operation
Result:
Fault:
SOAP fault:
-
Error string: error. RestrictedVersion.summary
Lack of details: RestrictedVersionFault
The operation using 'list' works very well but not create or delete.
No idea why it does not work for a 4.0 host but is ideal for a 3.5?
The reason why it worked for you on ESXi 3.5 is probably the version you were using was U2 or U3 where the VI API has an internal bug that allowed two full read/write access, which allows you to perform operations such as switching to a virtual computer or take a snapshot. Go ESXi 3.5u4 +, which includes 4.0 moving forward, the API VI is read-only. Before more details please look here: http://vmetc.com/2009/03/31/esxi-u4-ends-free-version-read-and-write-access-from-the-rcli/
You still have a few options, either unlock the console SSH not supported to automate snapshots using vimsh vim - cmd wrapper, using the VI Client or use VMware VIX and vmrun which currently is not governed by the VI API, take a look here for more information: is not happy with lockdown 3.5u4 VI API/RCLI ESXi? Worry not, VMware VIX to the rescue... for now =)

I'm blind, or not there at - there no possible way to manage ESXi without the Client to Infrastructure VI?
You can use the VI Client but you have also a few more options:
RCLI (vCLI): http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_rcli.pdf
VMware VIMA (vMA): http://engineering.ucsb.edu/~duonglt/vmware/#vmware_vima
VI Perl Toolkit for Windows (PowerCLI): http://www.vmware.com/sdk/vitk_win/index.html
Unfortunately, the caveat to use these tools require that you use at least the license to the Foundation to be able to have full read/write access to the VI API as explained here:
http://VMETC.com/2009/03/31/ESXi-U4-ends-free-version-read-and-write-access-from-the-RCLI/
If you are using ESXi 3.5u2/u3, so these tools will still work because the bug is not fixed until recently in ESXi 3.5u4
You also have a 4th option to use VMware VIX, this API allows the VM management, but will not give you the full breath of guests like the vCLI/PowerCLI management, take a look at this thread for more information: http://communities.vmware.com//message/1230459#1230459
In the end, if you are a license you will have a wide range of options, but if you use the free version of ESXi, then your only option is the use of the VI Client or using the SSH does not support console which is not recommended.

Table of NetBIOS and DHCP clients?
Hello
I have 2 nagging doubts...
Suppose that both computers are connected through a Linksys router.
C1 computer running a Web server.
1. If I type http://C1 in the browser to the computer of the C2 Server Web interface opens?
2 when I try to access the Web in C1 server as above or just ping C1 C2... the name search will increase from the table of DHCP and NetBIOS clients?
Thank you in advance for help out me
-Gandalf-
Is no DHCP clients table not no matter what resolution of names. The only goal is to show you the leases DHCP that has the DHCP server on the active router. The customer table DHCP doesn't even tell you whether or not the device in the list is always online.
Resolution of names within a LAN always happens with NetBIOS. If C1 is the host name of the web server inside your local network and no active firewall cripple NetBIOS http://C1/ mechanisms need to connect to the web server on C1 to port 80.

VTP (revision numbers) and a client not getting updates
Hello.
I screwed up somewhere along the line one of our switches (3750 x). Once they have been set up at last about 6 months ago we have never touched them again.
I noticed yesterday when I created a new vlan was not get populated at one of our switches. For some reason, I didn't notice that the domain name on the switch are not updates was not our area.
So I switched the domain on this switch for the appropriate field and he still shows no updates and also has a revision # 7.
So now this switch I then unplugged all the ports in the trunk and not "transparent" vtp mode Then, I turned it to "vtp client mode vlan.
He has always shown the revision 7.So I tried 'false vtp domain' and 'transparent vtp mode' and then 'vtp domain mydomain' and ' vtp client mode vlan.
He has always shown the revision 7.So I tried 'false vtp domain' and ' vtp mode vlan transparent ' and then 'vtp domain mydomain' and ' vtp client mode vlan.
He has always shown the revision 7.I am at a loss on how to solve this problem, other than the reconstruction of the switch. I have a server vtp revision 10 and two other switches also in revision 10 who receive updates from the vtp server. Has only one switch. Please note that this pass it is not working at one time done since there all the VLAN, that we have created on our initial installation.

Just to clarify the current VTP server running version 3 and is currently promoted a primary vtp?
All other customers, even one who does not get the DB synchronized are vtp running all 3?
Have you tried to force the exisitng vtp primary server again?
main #vtp
Please note the following
If you change the domain vtp3 name AFTER the promotion of the switch to a server then you will need to re-do the promotion again
:
Vtp3 Server (promoted to a primary can ONLY change vtp database)
Primary by vtp domain only vtpAny other vtp Server 3 can not change vtp database unless that his promotion to primary derivative (either by force or verification of the other vtp 3 switches (Server/full)
Add vtp 3 switch as a customer
--------------------------------------------------------
1. choose switch to become a customer of vtp 3 (it kerchaoui the revision number is 0 (at bottom transparent change for the customer))
2. change vtp worm 3 (a joint it will start a synchronization of the vtp DB switched to that of the new vtp3 priamry Server vtp D/B - as long as the Domain password are the same)
3. change the hidden password (optonal)Connected to the network.

VPN PPTP and PPPOE CLIENT ON PIX 501
Hello
Can I create a PPTP VPN and a client connection on a PIX 501 with a client to my ISP PPPOE connection. The PPPOE ip is dynamic and the VPN will be a static IP address. They gave me a username and password for VPN and PPPOE. Him also gave me an ip address for the VPN server.
Should that happen, it's that the PPPOE should connect to the VPN to work.

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.
Pleaes see following URLs too.
