ESXi embedded for Intel modular server?

• Dell ESXi Embedded 4u2 - question for a real customer

  There is confusion to come among the members of our team on what exactly includes Dell in the licensed versions of the ESXi embedded (Advanced and Enterprise Plus) on their servers.  Surprisingly, the Dell customer service team is just as confused and we get nowhere.

  The words of his Dell as VSphere rather ESXi just because the docs say it supports VMotion, DRS, FT, etc..

  Someone who actually bought a built-in server can confirm or deny the embed is more than a simple ESXi and also includes elements such as VMotion, FT and DRS?

  Or is it just ESXi and we go toVMware and VSphere VCenter license as well.

  Thank you

  Everything they say is this:

  We will sell you an edition of ESXi who is licensed for vMotion, etc..

  If they haven't sold a vCenter license, you don't have the management interface to use.

• Good start for the virtualization server?

  Hello

  I would like some advice on a good start for the virtualization server. I would like to run the more recent, free of VMware ESXi 4.1 edition (vSphere Hypervisor?) on the supported hardware (where the RAID can be monitored with VMware).

  For example, something like this: http://www.Dustin.se/pd_5010442452.aspx

  I guess the 8 cores on the server above is a better choice than faster Intel 4 processor (as each VM gets a dedicated core?).

  Any input/advice/server suggestions are welcome!

  Thanks in advance!

  OK, so if I understand you is good, I could install VMware ESXi 4.1 on a USB key inserted at the back of the R210 server, and I would have a facility "embedded"?

  No, not really. "Embedded" means the purchase of a server preconfigured with ESXi hardware already installed by a few big name of the seller. "ESXi Installable" means that you install ESXi yourself a CD, and it could be placed on a number of devices supported, including USB. It will always be "ESXi installable" However, if it has nothing to do where actually install you it.

• Install ESXI embedded will not recognize NIC

  I tried to install a server ESXI embedded last night, but the facility when it does not recognize that there is a network card installed.

  I have a network card added, it's the value connected and connect to power on.  At the beginning I wanted to set up all my virtual machines in a network segment local so I thought maybe it was the question so I turned off the VM and changed the NETWORK card to one host adapter, but the installation always fails with the same error.

  Does anyone else have this problem?  The installation cannot continue without detect a network card.

  I already have a virtual 2008R2 domain controller and NETWORK adapter works fine.

  Welcome to the community,

  ESXi you selected as the guest in the Wizard New VM operating system. The virtual NETWORK card model that is used/created for the virtual machine depends on the selection of the OS. Open the virtual machine configuration (.vmx) file to see what kind of NETWORK card has been created and add ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000" if it does not exist. If you want to manually change the file mark .vmx that tab of the virtual machine in VMware Workstation is closed, so that the configuration file is reread once you are done with editing.

• Hard drives and ESXi embeded?

  For those of you who already use embeded ESXi on built in flash media in your dell/hp/ibm server etc..  ESXi embeded requires all to be present so that he can use hard disks or can you only run the complete installation on flash support.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  You can run your ESXi host entirely from flash media, your host does not need to have spinning disks.

  Of course, your virtual machines will need real storage of race. If your host will have a need to be able to connect to the storage via SAN, NAS or NFS.

  What I understand, starting with ESXi 4.1, it is even possible to boot from PXE and/or SAN directly, so in this case you would not even flash media anymore.

  Hope this helps,

• 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!

  Sergei Petrunin

  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.

• Upgrade on esxi embedded 4.0 to 4.1 using dvd?

  Esxi embedded running off usb key update using dvd?

  I ask because my integrated existing esxi is fucked after I tried to upgrade using AUVs. AUVs process has failed with an error, but after a reboot, the client vsphere Summary tab shows it has been updated (IE to 4.1), but continuous AUVs to draw the attention of this upgrade is missing. I checked using the command line upgrade bundles are indeed missing. I post another thread with more details, after that I'm going through them. In the meantime, can I pass by jumping into a dvd to reinstall esxi embedded on the USB?

  Hello

  There isn't really a difference between esxi embedded and esxi installable. ESXi embedded is installable just esxi installed on a card usb or sd instead of on the hard drive. By this logic, the answer to my question would be: Yes, it can be done.

  Fix

  Just to add that some on-board ship ESXi from suppliers, which add their specific beams/drivers.

  So if you want to reinstall, try to use the specific provider ESXi ISO if available, otherwise use VMware ESXi ISO and install specific bundles of the seller after if necessary.

  The other option is just for the manual installation of the patches/Bundles on your current installation and VUM will pick them up.

  Please allow points to useful/correct answers

• ESXi embedded - record...

  Hi guys, we have some servers with ESXi embedded - they came with ESXi 4.0; When you look at the console it says logging is disabled (all good).  However after update 4.0 U3, he says is no longer recording is disabled at the level of the console - I googled around, but couldn't find any documants on disabling; and I don't want to write logs to the flash all the time.  Can someone let me know how to disable the local recording and just send the logs to a syslog server?

  See you soon

  As written in the KB scratch could be an option... but you can also disable loggin or redirect them to a syslog server.

• Upgrade license on ESXi host for a Standard license for vSphere

  On an ESXi host using the free version, I understand that to have it managed by our current Server vCenter (which is licensed to vCenter Server Standard 4) we must update the license on the ESXi host for a vSphere Standard license. First is correct in what I think? I know there is another option using the vSphere Essentials, but this only covers 3 hosts of what I read and we have 4 hosts ESXi we want to manage, and also we would prefer to have all managed under the vCenter server if possible.

  Second, if it's true, it's as simple as putting in the new license key on the ESXi host, and then I will be able to manage through our current server vCenter (who also manage our ESX host)? Or it would be a full erase + install different version of ESX on each host?

  Thank you

  you are perfectly right and it's as simple as that. Just enter the new key on the host computer through the vSphere client and add it to vcenter.

  The standard license is the one you want.

  Best regards

• VMWare ESXi 4 as a file server?

  Hello

  Got a server on VMWare ESXi 4, currently with a virtual more to come Linux machine.

  My goal is to use the server as a server from file/place of storage within the network of the company but also to test the environment (this is what I need several virtual machines for).

  My question is: is it possible to use ESXi 4 as a file server separately from the installed virtual machines? Or do I have to use one of the virtual machines as a storage place? If Yes, is there some way I can connect to this storage place WITHOUT using VMWare vSphere (that I currently use to manage the server)? Say, add network drive from Windows on the desktop.

  Those who resembles a fundamental questions for me however I am quite newbie here so I'm not really sure what can be done

  See you soon

  Hello, welcome to the forum

  As far as I KNOW, no, you cannot use VMware ESXi itself as a storage/file server.

  You must use VM in it and this VM should get this service to another customer.

  So you want to use this host (ESXi) as your test environment (put some VM on it to test it), you should pay attention to your bandwidth and the e/s, may be the test VM needs a lot of bandwidth or i/o and if your host may not respond to all virtual machines must (file server and test virtual machines) you will see a low performance.

  If I'm missing something; Please correct me, thank you.

• How many captures instant ESXi provides for each VM?

  Sorry, but I can't really find this little piece of information.

  How many captures instant ESXi provides for each VM?  VMWare Server, we would have only a snapshot.  So I guess it's also a snapshot in ESXi, right?

  ESXi supports more then a snapshot, although I couldn't find the exact number, it is quite high for most peoples use of snapshots.

• Confused in what I need [ESXi Embedded; ESX Installable; ESX 3.5]

  Hello team.

  Let me explain what I first: I need to run 6 virtual machines and manage these 6 VMs through a single window. I might be able to manage all VMs 6 using the single window (in general-, this could be any application). To manage, I mean, create snapshots, go back, use them as if I had VMware workstation. I don't need any other features. I'm looking in the plug of the machine: Quad core; 8 GB; SATA RAID.

  Now my question is how do I select ESXi Embedded or Installable or standalone ESX. Is there documentation that shows these differences or videos showing what are interfaces?

  I read the difference between ESXi and ESX and it was something citing on linux required for ESX. Does this mean that my whitebox will need Linux installed before that I could install ESX?

  ESXi is barebone architecture, which means, I'll lose admin capabilities?

  You think, with these questions, am confused? Thanks for any help in advance

  Novice user with virtualization - Manny

  Hello Manny,

  In fact, it's the same interface and the program, you use esx and esxi.

  Free ESXi, esx costs money and can do all kinds of magic to keep near 100% availability.

  You will need to have an admin on windows pc to run the VI client from.

  The VI-client (or VMware Infrastructure client) connects to your host, and from there, you can create new guests, create the snapshot, return etc.

  NO, you don't need linux. In fact my esx 3i is booting from a USB key no OS is required on the hard disk.

  I have attached a photo where you can see the interface to manage hosts.
