• 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.

• Mode locking ESXi and Tech Support Mode warning

  I would like to be alerted if an ESXi host is not in the locked mode or allowed to TSM. We have more than 100 guests and sometimes, when these settings are enabled us not forget to return them. Someone did he write or know that an alert rules on this?

  Thank you

  Chris

  It is not collected in the current version (vFoglight 6.6). It can be done with customization, creating a script agent who runs a PowerCLI script for example and fill the results in a dashboard.

  I will pass this along feature request to product management to add the collection of Lockdown modes / Tech Support out of the box and also have an alert for it.

  Thanks for the suggestion!

• Move VMS between server ESXi and vSphere ESX server

  Dear all,

  I want to move some a vSphere ESX server virtual machines to ESXi server.

  I understand that some users will use CPS to move between the ESX servers, but apparently not for moving between different products.

  I'm just using a slow and prone to error method:

  The files of the virtual machine to my deskop PC of vSphere ESX server and then upload to the ESXi server.

  I would advise you to please all of the methods that is better than this one?

  Help, please.

  Kind regards

  Tommy

  If you got a central storage you can move virtual machines between the two products with vMotion. Since you don't seem to have available vMotion, you pouvez use scp. SCP has nothing to do with ESX/ESXi products. It is a Linux/Unix program which is available in both servers.

  So with the CPS, you need a little less.

  The syntax is like:

  SCP - r/path/to/vm/directory user@esxi:/path/to/new/location

• 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.

• 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:

  1. I went to the http://www.vmware.com/products/esxi/ site.

  2. I read that I can get the free license for VMware ESXi 4 and VMware vSphere Client.

  3. Decided to download this software, registered and was redirected to
     the site where I could download iso 4 ESXi and vSphere Client .exe

  4. Installation and basic configuration of ESXi on the bare metal and vSphere Client Windows XP without problems.

  5. 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.

  6. Meanwhile I received the email with "Activate your VMware ESXi license".

  7. 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?

  8. 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

• The host ESXi 4 profile support

  Hi all

  I use 4 ESXi and vSphere Client 4 (free versions). Does anyone know if they support the ability to create profiles of host? I've read about them in the manual, but I don't seem to have the ability to use with vSphere Client 4

  Basically I'm looking for a way to back up the configuration of my host, so I don't have to manually configure all configuration information again in case I need to recharge.

  Thank you.

  Profiles of the host is available only through licensed Enterprise Plus - http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere/mid-size-and-enterprise-business/buy.html.

  You want to use vCLI or PowerCLI to make a backup of your ESXi hosts periodic configuration.  In case of problems with the system partition you either perform a new or repair the installation and then restore the backup of the configuration.

• ESXi 4.1 and SSE supports

  Hello

  Here, I make my 1st steps in the world of virtualization and a project of "study I have to climb an esxi 4.1 with what it takes to mount several VM... and all for free of course..."

  The problem is that I'm looking for some time and I really struggled a spotting me Microsoft so there are programs... I have the vintage understand that must be paid "fly" an esxi 4.1 vSphere was, but he's paying... and it must be a solution in the long run...

  So, I've been digging the site and google, and I heard talk of vCLI and vMA, but I really understand their exact functions and if these programs could allow me to fly my esxi to my VM...

  Would you have an idea of the tool that I can use pour arrive at finally down me?

  Sorry if this question seems a bit simple or what, but I swim really the!

  Thanks in advance!

• 4 ESXi and VMware vSphere CLI

  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 =)

• 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.

  Thank you
